Westfield ranked top place to live — The City of Westfield ranked No. 6 on Money’s Best Places to Live. The study examined cities and towns with a population of at least 25,000 and removed any with more than double the national crime rate, a medium income level lower than

85 percent of its state’s median or those with little to no ethnic diversity. The list consisted of 1,890 places. Data included economic factors, employment opportunities, housing, cost of living, diversity, health and safety, education, weather and lifestyle and amenities. A follow-up

cent of the schools listed in the survey have responded to the data request. Each school was asked to report its historical COVID-19 data dating to the start of its academic year by Sept. 20. Schools that fail to submit data will be listed as not reporting. Box said that she might consider requiring all schools to report their data if a significant number do not do it willingly. Pilot testing of the portal was set for last week, and Box said she hoped to have a snapshot of the data this week. She said the state planned to present preliminary data by Sept. 30. The trend of an increased percent of child and young adult COVID-19 cases happens as community spread in the state might be slowing, according to state officials. On Sept. 16, the state’s seven-day positivity rate they reported at 4.7 percent. A 6.2 percent cumulative rate also was reported. On Sept. 2, state officials reported a seven-day positivity rate of 7.2 percent and a cumulative positivity rate of 8.8 percent, marking a 2.5 and 2.6 percent reduction, respectively. According to an Indiana hospital census, 809 Indiana residents were hospitalized with COVID-19 on Sept. 14. On May 4, the census showed 1,579 Indiana residents were hospitalized before falling to 595 patients on June 26. The number of patients has fallen slightly since the start of August, when nearly 1,000 Indiana residents were hospitalized with COVID-19. The number of COVID-19 patients admitted each day fell from 87 on July 28 to 62 on Sept. 10. On May 5, 118 patients were admitted to Indiana hospitals, according to data from the Indiana State Dept. of Health. story on Westfield’s ranking will be available in the Sept. 29 edition of Current in Westfield.

Ivy Tech Hamilton County to become a full campus By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com On Sept. 15, Ivy Tech Community College announced it will transform its Hamilton County site in Noblesville EDUCATION into a full campus. It will open July 1, 2021, as Ivy Tech Hamilton County. Ivy Tech President Sue Ellspermann said becoming a campus will allow the community college to conduct a national search for a chancellor. The new campus also will offer expanded programs to fit the workforce in Hamilton County. “Now recognizing that Hamilton County is the fourth-largest county in the state of Indiana, and the fastest growing and, oh, by the way, the only of the top five counties in the state that does not have a dedicated, true campus for Ivy Tech, we thought with the great progress that has been made, the more than 1,200 students that are here today and the great partnerships that have begun, it’s actually time for it now to spin out and become its very own campus,” Ellspermann said. Transfer degrees in business administration, liberal arts and general studies are offered at the Noblesville site, along with a building construction certificate and other certificates. “Those are most of the programs here, and you can start programs here but probably you would finish many of them in Indianapolis today,” Ellspermann said. “We think at the size, the scale we have achieved already, you should be able to have more programs of your own that align to the needs of industry here.” Ellspermann said some of the new pro-

grams may include transfer degrees in psychology, biology, education and certificates in software development and cloud computing, among other disciplines. Ivy Tech Hamilton County will form advisory boards focused on industries in the county to see if they align for associate degrees or certificate programs through the new campus. “That’s the true opportunity that’s going to happen here is, at a much more granular level we will be able to stand up what you need,” Ellspermann said. Ellspermann said she expects the new programs to have a STEM focus. “We struggle sometimes with the trades and different educational things that just are tied up right now. They are at their wit’s limits,” county commissioner Steve Dillinger said. “I think the things this will afford Hamilton County will help the entire county, and we couldn’t be happier. To me, Ivy Tech is a dream come true for Hamilton County.” For more, visit ivytech.edu.

Group supports birth parents By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com A few hours after Brooke and Kyle Howe became certified foster parents, they received word that they would NONPROFIT foster two boys – Harlem and Bryson. That moment would become the foundation for The Cooper House, a nonprofit that supports birth parents throughout the foster care process. The Howes, of Westfield, felt called to foster parent at the end of 2016. They were licensed in July 2017. “I think we got the email around 11 a.m. saying, “Congratulations, you’re officially foster parents,” and a couple hours later got called for our first placement,” Brooke said. It was the Howes’ eighth wedding anniversary, and Kyle, a firefighter, was working at the Westfield Fire. Dept. “From then, throughout the boys’ case, we got to know their birth parents,” Brooke said. “In foster care, the goal is reunification. Mom and dad have a chance to get the kiddos back.” Throughout foster care, Bryson and Harlem had visits with their mother, and Brooke and Kyle began to build a relationship with both parents. “Through that, God kind of revealed the other side of foster care,” Brooke said. “I think a lot of people realize these kids are hurting and need people to love them and

The birth parents were unable to complete the steps required by the Dept. of Child Services, so the Howes adopted Bryson and Harlem last summer. But the boys still maintain relationships with their birth parents. Now, the Howes are seeking a building for The Cooper House. They want to be centrally located in downtown Noblesville near the Hamilton County Courthouse and DCS. When established, The Cooper House will provide support groups for birth parents.

COMEBACK PATIENT OF THE MONTH This is one in a series of case studies of triumph over injury. For previous installments, visit www.methodistsports.com.

BACKGROUND: Ben Weidner of Zionsville tore his Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) in his knee in February 2020 while playing basketball. A longtime athlete in soccer and basketball, he played competitively for Zionsville Community High School and for elite travel teams. He sought treatment from Methodist Sports Medicine Orthopedic Surgeon, Dr. Thomas Klootwyk so that he could get on the road to recovery and resume playing the sports he loves. Dr. Klootwyk did surgery in March to repair Ben’s ACL. Ben then went through various stages of rehab at MSM at the Grand Park Clinic in Westfield, and is now on track to resume athletic participation at DePauw University as a dual sport athlete in soccer and basketball.

THE RECOVERY: “Ben was an exceptional patient to work with! He had an unbelievable work ethic and motivation to better himself every time he came into the clinic. He always wanted to be pushed to his limits and he Nick Chandler, DPT wasn’t afraid to leave everything he had in the weight room or on the turf. He was one of those types of patients that physical therapists love working with!” – Nick Chandler, Doctor of Physical Therapy, EMethodist Sports Medicine

Council approves $500,000 in library bonds By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com At its Sept. 14 meeting, the Westfield City Council unanimously approved an issuance of bonds for $500,000 GOVERNMENT for the Westfield Washington Public Library. The bonds are payable solely by the library, and once issued, are not expected to increase the tax levy for the library. The bonds will not count against the city’s constitutional debt limit, and the city is not obligated to repay the bonds. Prior to the vote, WWPL Director Sheryl Sollars presented on where the funds will go. Projects include an outreach vehicle to provide library services to assisted living facilities and community events and neighborhoods; a replacement of two 26-year-old boilers; using radio-frequency identification technology to increase library service efficiency; bay window repair; study room and storage repair; HVAC repair; front door weather prevention; replacing all fixtures with LED lighting; and repairing and repaving the parking lot. The bonds also will allow the library to transition to an IP phone system and pay its library feasibility study costs. Sollars discussed the benefits of the outreach vehicle. “It’s an oversized van that will book carts in it,” she said. “We will have books available. It will be Wi-Fi-enabled, so when we take it to events, we can check out books to people, issue library cards. It’s a library on wheels, basically, if that explains it.” The library staff already visits assisted living facilities to provide services but use their own vehicles.

DISPATCH COVID-19 complaint line — The Hamilton County Health Dept. has established a COVID-19 complaint line at 317-776-8237. Callers are asked to limit complaints to employees and staff at restaurants, bars and food stores not complying with the mask mandate. Complaints related to patrons of these establishments should be directed to the business owner.

Schaibley seeks fourth term By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Donna Schaibley views her main duty as a state representative as being responsive to her constituents. ELECTION “Every year since I was elected (in 2014), I have been working hard on legislation, doing extensive constituent outreach, and each election year, going door to door to meet voters,” Schaibley said. “I treat every election seriously beSchaibley cause the voters deserve no less. The response I am getting from the people of District 24 is very positive.” The Carmel Republican is seeking her fourth term for the District 24 seat in the Indiana House of Representatives. Her opponent is Democrat Naomi Bechtold. Schaibley defeated Bechtold for the seat in 2018 with more than 55 percent of the vote. “The vast majority of the legislation I author arises out of concerns people in my district share with me,” Schaibley said. “Controlling and reducing health care costs is an important issue for many of my constituents, and I have authored and sponsored multiple pieces of legislation that have been enacted into law addressing this issue. For example, my health care price transparency legislation requires that providers give patients, upon request, a ‘good faith estimate’ of the price they will be charged for a service.” Schaibley said she also sponsored legislation establishing the groundwork for an All Payer Claims Database in Indiana. In addition, Schaibley said she has authored and sponsored legislation on many complicated issues, including protecting victims of sexual assault by enacting a victim bill of rights, creating new procedural protections for children who are the victims of sexual assault, helping children by providing access to additional mental health services in schools with parental consent, protecting children by giving schools information that enables them to identify child predators and expanding programs that aid at-risk youth, such as the Youth Assistance Program.

Candidate aims for transparency

Need a New Home to Host Thanksgiving?

We Can Help!

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Michael Roberts has a clear motivation for running for public office for the first time. ELECTION “I am running for Hamilton County auditor to bring true transparency and accountability to the office,” Roberts said. “I have worked in both the private and public sectors throughout my career with my most recent position of Roberts the last nine years involving risk management, insurance and regulatory compliance ranging through multiple venues.” Roberts, a Democrat from Fishers, is running against Republican incumbent Robin Mills for Hamilton County auditor in the Nov. 3 election. The Hamilton County Democratic Party announced June 22 that it had submitted paperwork to place Roberts on the ballot. Roberts, who is married with four children, moved to Fishers from Chicago a little more than a year ago. “I strongly believe a candidate’s personal beliefs reflect how they will utilize their elected office, especially with national events informing local decisions,” he said. “I will make certain that everyone’s interests will be fairly represented through the office of Hamilton County auditor.” Roberts received a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from the University of South Florida. “I graduated from the Florida Law Enforcement Analyst Program, adding to my experience of managing projects and making sure they were handled appropriately,” he said. “In regards to changes for the position, I would implement a process for citizens and government employees (to have) the ability to securely and anonymously report instances of mismanagement of funds as well as any concerns of fraud so they could be investigated appropriately.” Voters may email Roberts with questions at robertsforcountyauditor@gmail.com.

COVER STORY

Westfield High School athletic groups pair students for mentorship program By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Westfield High School’s athletics department didn’t set out to pair students in a mentorship program. Rather, it evolved naturally. “It’s not really something we ‘started.’ In other words, for the last 15 years, we have always worked with our coaches on different themes or different things to focus Tebbe on, and one of the biggest things we work on with our coaches is all about the relationships you build with kids and the relationships you build with parents,” athletics director Andy Tebbe said. “If we hire a coach, that’s what we look at. How do they build the relationships?” Tebbe said a student-to-student mentorship program developed out of that mindset. “This is not anything we as an athletic department told them they had to do, but as our school has grown and the teams have grown and the rosters have grown, a lot of our teams and coaches took it upon themselves to put together this mentorship program,” Tebbe said. “Every program does it differently. There’s no one model or onesize-fits-all, so they all do things a little different.” Typically, an upperclassman is paired with a younger student. Sometimes, groups are even paired. “A lot of times it’s a small group, like with girls basketball,” Tebbe said. “We have one junior or one senior with two sophomores and two freshmen. Girls basketball did a book study this summer on a book about leadership.” On the football team, freshman Zeke Richardson is paired with senior Benji Welch. “They paired us based on our sports, because Benji plays basketball and football, and I also play basketball and football, so Coach Gilbert paired us together on that and on our religious beliefs,” Richardson said. “Benji holds a big leadership role in Christianity, and he thinks I can learn a lot from him.” Welch and Richardson have gone to lunch several times. They were paired about three weeks before school started. Richardson

“ONE OF MY BROTHERS” Senior Benji Welch may be the mentor in the mentor in his pairing with Zeke Richardson, but Welch benefits, too. “I was definitely mentored by some of the older people early on in basketball and football, so it’s super cool now being the older person and getting to influence Zeke and be there for him and answering questions he might have, but also giving him a friend outside of his grade,” Welch said. “It’s easy to be close to guys in your grade.” Welch and Richardson were paired not just on their participation in basketball and football, but also because Richardson was weighing a difficult decision as a freshman. “At the start of the year, Zeke was deciding whether or not keep playing football. He played in middle school, but he was thinking about only playing basketball, which is exactly what I did,” Welch said. “I took a couple years off of (football) and then came back to it, so Coach Gilbert put us together. He thought it was a good relationship starter for us.” Welch embraces his role as a mentor. “It’s not really even a job or a duty. I really do take joy in it. I love the younger guys and have developed a passion for impacting them and pouring into them,” Welch said. “I don’t look at it as a mentor/mentee anymore. He’s just one of my brothers on the team.”

also attends chapel with Welch after practice. The service is a get-together in the team room during which Welch shares a Christian message with his teammates.

Having a mentor helped Richardson adjust to being a new student at the high school. “Going into (the school year), I was pretty

nervous because I didn’t know what to expect and I had a lot of questions, but Benji made it a lot more helpful with the sports and the social aspect,” Richardson said. “Anything I needed to know he had an answer for.” Richardson is a wide receiver on the high school’s freshman team. The athletic department’s mentorship program is something that’s grown each year. “This has been something that’s evolved,” Tebbe said of the program. “We’ve always taught relationships with our coaches, and that’s evolved into this mentorship program.”

ESSAY

LETTER

Wimpy promises

Voice your concerns

Commentary by Terry Anker Trust me, “I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today,” or so said Mr. J. Wellington Wimpy, the erstwhile intellectual, well-educated romantic who had a prominent role in E.C. Segar’s 1931 comic strip “Popeye.” Many of us grew up with the common-man, spinach-eating namesake of the comic strip sailor and learned countless lessons. Including — stand-up for what is right. Treat your partner well — even if Olive Oyl didn’t always seem it, she is worthy. We are what we are — don’t be anything but ourselves. Eat right and be strong and ready for whatever life presents. And in the case of the profligate Wimpy, beware of the charming influence of well-intentioned elites. In the heights of Depression-era politics, one can only imagine Segar’s boldness in standing against the increasing debt and public works that had been promised by Washington to be paid on “Tuesday.” By the time Fleischer Studios began producing cartoons of the strips, Wimpy had been minimized from a major to a minor character. The production company found him too cerebral for the common viewer. Still, the portly Wimpy, with his penchant for grand promises and an overwhelming need to feed his addiction, cautioned against the prevailing winds of the time. Remember, someone eventually pays. Fleischer Studios collapsed by 1941 because of a series of cost overruns and mismanagement but had capitalized on a license for the Superman cartoons. Supported by truth, justice and the American way, the sibling-owned business had left its mark on our collective memory. By the 1980 theatrical live-action movie release of “Popeye,” Wimpy was back. A different president was in the White House and the caricature of the bloated bureaucrat had returned. In a “Popeye” today, would Wimpy make the cut?

Funny thing about sadness Commentary by Danielle Wilson Grief is a funny thing. And I mean that quite literally. This summer was my first real experience with grief, HUMOR as my father passed away a few weeks ago from cancer. I expected the deep sadness. I expected the intermittent bouts of anger. But what I did not anticipate, and what I am so thankful for, was the laughter. In the last hours of his life, with both his mind and body shutting down, and in the first few days afterward, I was truly taken aback by the number of moments I shared with my mom and sisters that included side-splitting bouts of laughter. Whether from recalling a memory from our childhood — the time Dad caught me sneaking in from a date past curfew and pulled the perfect guilt-trip move of uttering only, “I hope you enjoyed yourself,” or lightening the emotional mood with medical hijinks (plotting to save the narcotics before the hospice nurse

confiscated them), happy tears flowed right alongside the sad ones. I am not comfortable crying in front of others, even family, and my usual MO is to suppress all feelings until I can reach the safety of my minivan or bedroom. I know it’s not healthy, as evidenced by the number of binge-eating sessions where I scarfed down lasagna and banana crème pie straight from the pans. But cracking inappropriate jokes and reenacting comical Depends-changing scenes I can do. I don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say that being able to express the pain of losing someone close through laughter has probably saved me 10 pounds and an ulcer. Grief, thank goodness, is a funny thing. Peace out.

Editor, George Rose’s letter that was published Sept. 8 was astonishing in its naivete. I agree that violent protests will not accomplish the intended goals of police reform, but Rose’s suggestion is to stop all peaceful protests and write letters to the president or our congresspersons. Imagine what would have happened if someone had said to Dr. Martin Luther King, “Time to stop the marches and peaceful protests. Just write a letter to the president and I’m sure he will grant you equal rights.” The only way anything has ever been accomplished in this country is if enough people get fed up and take to the streets, peacefully, to voice their concerns. It’s a fact that our fellow citizens of color are being disproportionately killed and incarcerated by over-zealous police and court systems. I admire those people of all backgrounds who are fighting for change. By the way, I am a white baby boomer. Pamela Jackson, Noblesville

Initiative aims to slow spread news@currentinwestfield.com The Hamilton County Health Dept. has partnered with area school districts to launch an educational campaign designed to keep kids in school. Called “Show Some C.L.A.S.S PANDEMIC Keep Kids in School,” the campaign outlines five basic rules families should follow to help keep children healthy and in the classroom: C – Check your child’s temperature every morning before sending them to school. L – Lead by example. Let your child see you wearing a mask and modeling good social distancing. A – Avoid large gatherings. Slumber parties, carpools and birthday parties are discouraged. S – Schedule a test if you or someone in your family exhibits signs of COVID-19. S – Stay home until you receive your test results or if you are not feeling well. The health department has been tracking a significant spike in COVID-19 cases among children — especially teens — since July 4. According to the Indiana State Dept. of Health, children ages 0-19 accounted for just 5 percent of the positive cases on July 4. That percentage has more than tripled to 18.5 percent of new cases the week of Aug. 31. The surge is believed to be due in large part to social gatherings like graduations, weddings and family reunions. Learn more at showsomeclass.org.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused the owners of Clay Terrace to hit the brakes on a redevelopment REDEVELOPMENT proposal earlier this year, but now the public health crisis has accelerated those plans. The Carmel Plan Commission was set to discuss a Clay Terrace refresh this spring, but its owner, Washington Prime Group, held off on the petition for several months during the peak of the pandemic in Indiana. But now, it says the transformation of the 15-year-old shopping center to include proposed residential units, a hotel and a parking garage is crucial to its survival. “While Clay Terrace plans to continue to successfully reposition or transform any vacant space, more challenging and un-

According to a concept plan filed with the City of Carmel, the redevelopment is planned on the southeast portion of the property. A hotel is proposed along U.S. 31 just east of an existing retail building that is home to stores including The Shop and Eddie Bauer, with ground-floor retail buildings topped with apartments to the south of the hotel and along Clay Terrace Boulevard. A parking garage and surface parking is planned east of the retail and apartment buildings, with a new, undesignated building proposed just east of one that currently houses Luxe Home Interiors at the south end of the redevelopment area.

Hotel Carmichael’s Vivante offers full range of French cuisine By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel’s new luxury Hotel Carmichael’s Vivante restaurant is bringing a taste of France to the area. DINING The French eatery offers breakfast from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m., lunch from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. each day and dinner from 5 to 10 p.m. Dinner is only offered Tuesday through Sunday. “We’ve been pretty busy. Breakfast and lunch have not been as busy during the week,” said Christen Angermeier, Hotel Carmichael’s restaurant manager. “It’s overlooking the gardens Angermeier at the Palladium, so it’s a really nice spot for dining out at the patio.” Angermeier said when making reservations, she suggests including if your preference is outdoor dining. Avocado toast and croque madame have been brisk breakfast sellers. “An omelet where you can choose your own fillings has been popular as well,” Angermeier said. For lunch, the turkey BLT and steak sandwich are requested often. “As far as salads go, we have a delicious tuna Nicoise salad and roasted beet salad as well,” Angermeier said. Angermeier said popular appetizers are gratinee Carmichael, French onion soup and Brussels sprouts and scallops provencal. Popular entrees include Wagyu beef medallion and roast duck chasseur. “I don’t think it’s unapproachable,” Angermeier said of the price range of entrees from $28 to $36. Joseph Hsu, who moved to Pennsylvania from Taiwan when he was 12 years old, serves Hsu as Vivante’s chef. He has 25 years of experience, including nine

years at Landry’s Restaurants, first as executive chef and then as regional chef. Hsu, a Noblesville resident, became executive chef at the Indianapolis Zoo in 2013. In 2017, he launched 5280 Bistro Hospitality. Angermeier attended Le Cordon Bleu, earning a degree in culinary arts and an undergraduate degree from Indiana University. She previously was the general manager at Cake Bake and the Cunningham Restaurant Group. Angermeier said the dining capacity was supposed to be 100 inside and 25 outside. With the social distancing due to the COVID-19 pandemic, she said the average is 50 to 60 inside and outside. “We decided to move some tables outside, and there are a few tables we are not

seating inside,” she said. Feinstein’s Cabaret will offer food when it opens. “We’re hoping to open by the beginning of next year. That is the goal right now,” Angermeier said. “It’s still under construction. The main theme is dinner cabaret theater.” A lobby bar called Adagio offers small bites and is open daily from 2 to 11 p.m. “The most popular item is the charcuterie board, which makes sense because it’s a sharable item,” Angermeier said. “We’re making a decided amount of changes to the Adagio food menu.” For more, visit hotelcarmichael.com. Wagyu beef medallion is one of the most popular dinners entrees at Vivante.

IWS to open season at Palladium editorial@youarecurrent.com The Indiana Wind Symphony will open its 2020-21 season with a “Panoramic Fantasy” concert at 3 p.m. Sept. 27 at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. Flutist Carl Butler of Carmel will be featured as soloist in Lowell Lieberman’s dazzling “Flute Concerto.” Other works include “Barber of Seville Overture,” Sam Hazo’s “In Heaven’s Air” and Julius Fucik’s march “Florentiner.” The latter piece will be paired with the premiere performance of a march written by Texas composer Kelly Bennette, “Quarantiner.” The two resident companies at the Palladium, the Indiana Wind Symphony and the Carmel Symphony Orchestra, will play the only concerts at the concert hall for the remainder of 2020. The audience will be distanced and masked. A maximum of 400 audience members will be admitted, There will be no intermission for the one-hour concert. IWS Music Director Charles Conrad said IWS performed at the last event, a naturalization ceremony, at the Palladium before the pandemic forced a shutdown. The performance was March 10.

Big Woods Hazel Dell

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 14741 Hazel Dell Crossing, Noblesville What to get: Mac ‘n cheese Price: $11.95 Anna’s take: Big Woods Hazel Dell has a plethora of menu items, with a variety of foods. Its focus isn’t simply burgers or pasta. It offers something for everybody. I tried the mac ‘n cheese, a big bowl of trotolle pasta with smoked gouda, mozzarella, white cheddar, provolone and aged parmesan. It’s topped with roasted garlic-infused breadcrumbs. I added jalapeños for $1.95 and bacon for $2.45. For an appetizer, try the blackened chicken egg roll ($11.45), served with curry honey mustard, or the signature pulled pork nachos ($9.95). If pasta isn’t your thing, give the candied

bacon bomb burger a try for $14.95. It’s topped with house-candied bacon, caramelized onions, garlic aioli, arugula, balsamic glaze and white cheddar. Big Woods also offers pizza. I tried the chicken cordon bleu, which has grilled chicken, diced ham, chopped bacon, smoked gouda and a mozzarella cheese blend in an Alfredo base. Suggested pairings: Try the Smoked Brown County Old Fashioned for a beautiful fall drink featuring Knob Creek Rye and garnished with a toasted marshmallow and Luxardo Cherry.

Behind bars: Frisky Whiskey Tea Get it at Big Woods, Noblesville Ingredients: 2 oz. Sipes’ Straight Bourbon Whiskey; 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup; 4 oz. iced tea; 1 lemon wedge; 1 mint sprig Directions: Add iced tea to a 12 oz. highball glass and top with ice. Pour bourbon and maple syrup into glass and stir for eight seconds. Add lemon wedge and drop in the mint sprig.

Blueprint for Improvement: A better floorplan in Zionsville Commentary by Larry Greene

Before

THE CHALLENGE The owners of this 1995 Zionsville home had listed it for sale last year. Potential buyers kept giving the same feedback: The first floor layout was disjointed. The homeowners realized they felt the same way, so they took it off the market and made some big changes to make the space work better for their family.

THE SOLUTION

After

FROM CIN

1. Previously, three small pantry closets were accessed via a small hallway behind the kitchen. Now combined into one space, the pantry is accessible from the kitchen through an opening hidden behind the cabinetry. 2. The kitchen was enlarged, and the location of the appliances were rearranged for a more efficient flow and improved functionality. 3. A beam was added to provide structural support in lieu of the removed pantry walls. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a beautiful new focal point.

Confusing history of Chapel, Church and Dome of the Ascension

INSTALLS ON NEW & EXISTING GUTTERS

Commentary by Don Knebel Both Christians and Muslims believe that God took Jesus bodily to heaven, from which TRAVEL he will return. Visitors to Jerusalem can visit two structures commemorating that “Ascension,” one that mimics a structure commemorating Muhammed’s own ascension to heaven. The New Testament suggests that Jesus was carried into heaven at Bethany, a village on the eastern slope of the Mount of Olives. However, beginning in the fourth century, the Ascension became associated with a rock on the western slope of the Mount of Olives, said to contain the right footprint of Jesus. A series of small churches was built over the rock, the last one by the Crusaders. When Muslim forces under Saladin Church of the Ascension in Jerusalem.
