Superintendents talk economics, school safety

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com During the Sept. 12 OneZone Chamber State of the Schools luneducation cheon, guests heard from Hamilton Southeastern Schools Supt. Allen Bourff and Carmel Clay Schools Supt. Michael Beresford. The luncheon’s theme was “What’s New at School.”

Topics included economic impact, school safety and more.

On school safety, Beresford said he would like to have the resources to place a school resource officer in every school building. He said parents feel similarly but for different reasons.

“A lot of times we will have parents who want a school resource officer in every school in their district, and I agree with that. I would love to have a school resource officer in every school,” he said. “But a lot of times, that emphasis is because they want an armed person in the building to protect their kids, and I will say you are very short-sighted if you think that’s the only reason we need a school resource officer in the building.”

For the economic impact portion of the presentation, Bourff introduced a new tool

at HSE called CurioCity. The digital portal is a collaboration with the City of Fishers. It helps connect local businesses and organizations with students who have shown an interest in a particular field and may be searching for an internship. It also connects business leaders with teachers to help establish new field-study programs, such as giving first-graders an opportunity to preserve Ritchey Woods Nature Preserve. “(Fishers Mayor) Scott Fadness has been very ambitious about working with our community to become involved in promoting a city-wide campus for learning. Bourff said. “It will exist for businesses throughout the community to become involved in attaining or accessing students who have the interest in being interns in their area.”

The CurioCity digital portal is under construction and staff is being trained on it this fall.

Attendees also heard from HSE and CCS Teachers of the Year – Carmel High School art teacher Sarah Wolff and Sand Creek Intermediate Media Specialist John Hochstetler.

Wolff spoke on how she and other CCS instructors teach more than just subjects to students.

“What I teach is not just art,” Wolff said.

“I, along with my colleagues, teach teamwork and perseverance and self-esteem.

We teach service and giving and selflessness and mostly about humbling yourself in pursuit of a larger goal.”

Hochstetler spoke on how media centers have changed and how traditional libraries aren’t utilized in HSE schools anymore.

Makerspaces encouraging innovation and STEM learning are utilized throughout media centers.

“We are not your grandma’s library anymore,” he said.

Hamilton Southeastern High School German teacher Nichole education Mathews recently received the Deutsch Macht Spaß (German is Fun) Grant from the American Association of Teachers of German to help promote German learning and engagement in and out of the classroom. She was awarded a little more than $300 to fund a project for her German students this semester.

For the first part of the project, Mathews will assign each student a section of the history of the Athenaeum in Indianapolis. They will then create vocabulary lists and activities for their section and will teach the rest of the class about it.

Mathews said she plans to post the students’ work on the American Association of Teachers of German website for others to model. The students also will work with a board member of the Indiana German Heritage Society to create a 10-minute group presentation in English for their monthly meeting.

On Oct. 10, the students will take a bus to downtown Indianapolis, where they will have

They also will visit the Heidelburg Cafe for lunch, where Mathews said they can speak with owner Jurgen Jungbauer.

“I was so excited when I found out (about the grant),” Mathews said. “We don’t really have the funds for projects like that usually.

So, I’m glad we have this opportunity. The kids are excited to go to the Athenaeum and work on the project and everything. It’s just amazing.”

Prior to visiting Fishers, the group visited New York and Washington, D.C. The visitors stayed with SCI host families when they arrived in Fishers. They are from SCI’s sister school, Tianchang PriWhiteford mary School in Ningbo, China.

“We just try to partner throughout the year with different things we are doing in our building and things they are doing,” SCI English as a New Language teacher Laura Whiteford said. “We try to showcase some of the projects we are doing. We did a Chinese New Year celebration last year.”

During their time in Fishers, the Tianchang students shadowed a SCI student for a dayin-the-life experience. They also visited the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis and Conner Prairie.

On one of the days, the visiting students performed a talent show for SCI students.

They performed poetry reading, dancing, martial arts and spoke on how to prepare Chinese tea.

Graduate Profile: Alyssa Brown

By Desiree Williams news@currentinfishers.com Alyssa Brown, 28, presented the senior class speech for the first education graduating class of Fishers High School in 2008.

Brown received a degree in psychology from Purdue University in 2012. She also received a master’s degree in clinical and mental health counseling from Ball State University in 2014 followed by a doctorate in counseling psychology with a specialty in couples and family counseling in 2018.

She is an assistant visiting professor at Indiana University East in Richmond and will soon open a private practice.

Q: What was your favorite subject and why?

A: The most impactful class that I had was the honors psychology class, AP Psychology, taught by Mrs. (Kristin) Marr because obviously that directed my future. Honestly, before then I didn’t know what I wanted to choose as a major, but I found that class so fascinating and felt like a lot of the stuff was interesting enough.

Q: What do you miss about high school?

A: I think the quick access to friends.

It was just so nice to be able to see people every day and I feel like my best memories aren’t necessarily sitting in class, but those hallway moments and those interactions. I didn’t realize at the time how nice it was to see my friends regularly and how important that was, how important I really think that is for teenagers to have social support on a regular basis.

Q: Who has been your most influential teacher?

A: Mr. (Michael) Gaines had a big impact on me. He just always had his door open for students to come talk. It was just really nice to be able to stop into his classroom and just be able to chat. He was always really kind and wanted to listen to a lot of students, not just me. He could form a really personal connection with a lot of students that was really meaningful.

Q: How did you become interested in

Alyssa Brown pauses with her family, son, Flynn, and husband, Tyler. (Submitted photo)

psychology?

A: The psychology classes at Purdue were just really interesting. As I got even further along in the study and the more specific the topics got, I loved it even more, so I became a research assistant in a personality lab.

Q: What was it like getting married and starting a family while working through a doctorate program?

A: I think there are a lot of sides to it.

Of course, at some points it was really challenging. We got lucky. I did most of it on winter break. We planned our wedding to be during winter break of my first year of grad school, and I actually had my son during winter break of my second year of Ph.D. school. I went right back after both of those.

It was definitely challenging but it also put stuff into perspective for me and I knew throughout the whole time what my motivation was and that I didn’t want to prioritize school over my family.

Q: Do you have any advice for younger students?

A: I think sometimes we can get really discouraged and not want to continue things if we feel like we aren’t doing well enough, but that is just part of the process of learning and growing, so that’s what I encourage them (to do).

Woofstock helps save lives Commentary by Rebecca Stevens On Oct. 6, the Humane Society for Hamilton County will be celebrating our 10thannual Woofstock Festival and pets Survivor Program Charity Walk at the newly renovated Nickel Plate District Amphitheater in Fishers.

Because we serve as both the Humane Society and Animal Control Facility for Hamilton County, we receive some of the most severely neglected, abused and injured animals imaginable. What many don’t know is that we fund 100 percent of all life-saving and emergency medical care for every animal that passes through our doors. It is our Survivor Program that makes this possible.

Sparkle, a dog, was abandoned by her owner. By the time someone found her and called the police, she had withered to less than half of what her body weight should have been, and she was in diabetic shock.

She spent several days hospitalized, and now she is recovering in a foster home.

She’s just one example of thousands who are alive today because of donations made to our Survivor Program and because people like you participate in our single-largest fundraiser for the program — the Woofstock

Sparkle is a beneficiary of the Humane Society for Hamilton County’s Survivor Program.

with Pacers Sports & Entertainment as a Salesforce administrator.

Keathley expects more cohort partnerships to emerge within the Fishers tech sector.

“Technical skills are more about the things you can do than the degree you hold.

Not everybody’s got a four-year (college) degree,” Keathley said. “The two best technical guys I ever worked with, neither had a four-year degree, and I’d hire them again in a moment. So, how do you find those guys?

We’ve talked about internship programs for businesses to get students in and find out who some of the rock stars are.”

Because Ivy Tech draws from all of central Indiana, Keathley said the school would likely be happy to partner with any willing Fishers tech firm.

“I think it’s an opportunity for a lot of winners,” he said. “We get the kids skilled up where they change the trajectory of their life; we meet the workforce business’s need to grow and expand operations; and there’s economic growth for the state of Indiana.

Everybody wins. I’m not sure how much I can move the needle, but hopefully a little.”

Kevin Keathley aims to build partnerships with local businesses in his new role.

indy women in tech Although not a cohort partner like Salesforce, the organization Indy Women in Tech also is firmly established within the Ivy Tech Indianapolis campus.

“Indy Women in Tech has a tremendous presence here,” School of Information Technology Dept. Chair Alan Lewis said. “We have the largest chapter of any Indy Women in Tech affiliated school.

(IWiT) sees students into the program, mentors them throughout the program and sees them out of the program into the workforce. I wouldn’t necessarily call them a cohort, but it’s a program in place here to get our students out into the tech industry, and we’re looking at more of those.”

ESSA Y Tough choices

LE T T ER

Brooks is a proven leader

Commentary by Terry Anker As youngsters, many of us would lament what it was we might decide to surrender during a religious observation of fast and penance.

For some, it was chocolate — milk or candy. For others, it would be the intentional deprivation of a beloved activity. The PlayStation or television would be switched off for a bit. Still, in most cases, our lives functioned largely the same.

We tended to replace one indulgence with another. Although one can rightly say that the reminder of the sacrifices that led to the commemoration was present, which is good, in all, we suffered little.

In a conversation with a friend who recently found his way out of a rough patch, he lamented that he “could have lost it all.” While compassion led to an empathetic interaction, it begged the question: What really might have been lost? Surely, his was more intense than not being able to have an evening glass of chocolate milk. But can we lose our family? Can we lose our property?

Can we lose our health? Can we lose our sanity? Can we lose them all?

If the world were so ordered that each hour for 10 days we were required to sacrifice something we hold dear, how would we let them go? Could we? In most instances, we identify our top priorities and claim to stick to them. Still, we spend inordinate amounts of time attending the things that we believe inconsequential. So, if we turned this game on its head and thought about what we would sacrifice if times were truly tough, what would remain after 240 such choices? PlayStation, television, chocolate milk and candy might be easy. But what of the others? Is it more about what remains than what is lost?

Stop political corruption

Editor, When my boys were little I used to read them “The Emperor’s New Clothes.” I feel like we are living in the emperor’s land now. I see that the emperor is naked and people are grumbling, but it is shocking and disgraceful that none of his “cabinet” are speaking up. I saw the article in the New York Times reassuring us that there is a second track of people making sure things don’t go awry! The author of this article has not reassured me; it only speaks to the immorality and deviance of this administration. He or she is trying to cover his or her butt because this person knows what’s going on is wrong, yet they don’t want to call the president out in public – they want the conservative agenda, getting Kavanaugh confirmed, to go through first. Yet, this is anything but conservative. We the public see what is going on. We see the emperor is naked and that no one will call him out.

We see the hypocrisy of these actions and their legacy will be sacrificing the American Way so their agenda can be pushed through. It is so perplexing to me why peo-

ple think their values have to be my values.

Why can’t you do in your house what works for you and I do in my house what works for me? Why can’t I believe in something different yet we all reach out and help each other when we need it? What is the lesson our children are learning from the adults in their world? America was becoming great when my grandparents immigrated here, but I can imagine their tear-filled eyes if they knew what we have become.

I am tired of the corruption in politics today. That is why I am supporting Dee Thornton for Congress in Indiana’s 5th District.

She is running against Susan Brooks, who has voted with Trump more than 98 percent of the time. Dee is a former business exec who will do the right thing. She is running a grassroots campaign with integrity and character and is reaching out to neighbors and actually listening to our concerns.

We can no longer stand by and watch the downfall of our democracy; we must get out and vote.

Beth Kurlander, Carmel

Q U O T E O F T HE WEEK “I cannot endure to waste anything so precious as autumnal sunshine by staying in the house. So I have spent almost all the daylight hours in the open air.”

— Nathaniel Hawthorne

Editor, U.S. Rep. Susan Brooks fights for our interests, and she gets results for Hoosiers.

Brooks is focused on modern threats to our security. When ISIS and other terrorist organizations are looking for ways to use chemical and biological weapons, she’s advocating for legislation to strengthen our national response to deadly pathogens.

Closer to home, Brooks is working with colleagues across the aisle to ensure that women of all ages have access to lifesaving mammograms.

Brooks voted in favor of more than 50 bills this summer to support substance abuse prevention, treatment, education and enforcement. During the last two years, she’s helped secure more than $20 million for substance abuse programs in Indiana.

She wrote a law to help veterans take full advantage of their GI Bill benefits, making sure that they can get and keep a good job when they come home.

Along with this impressive record, Brooks remains easily accessible to her constituents. Since January 2017, Brooks has held 20 public events to personally meet with constituents.

This record of accomplishment is why I’ll be voting for Brooks, a proven leader, Nov. 6.

Sincerely, Demetrick L. Baker II, Sheridan

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie “What’s in here?” I asked Mary Ellen as I opened another carton the movers had deposited in our new home. humor “What does it say on the box?” she asked.

“STUFF,” I said.

“Well, that sounds like your labeling system, Dick. Years ago when we got new carpet, you did the packing alphabetically. The cat ended up in the same box as the computer.”

Then I realized this was not a box from our current move, but one unopened from two moves ago in 1985. Anything called “stuff” couldn’t be that important, right?

Inside was a huge stack of assorted business cards. On the top of the pile was: HABIBA BELLY DANCER (614) 253-XXXX I had no recollection of Habiba. Was she a friend from my bachelor days? Or a guest on a show I did in Columbus? Memories are just no fun when you can’t remember them. None of the cards’ names rang any bells. Business cards were so simple back then, with no websites, cell numbers, Twit-

ter accounts or emails. Just, ‘Here’s my name. Here’s my number. Give me a call.’

Which, by the way, I don’t think I ever did.

Including Habiba.

In that same box was a huge envelope filled with newspaper articles sent by friends who know I love oddball subjects: • You can lead a cow up stairs, but not down stairs • A duck’s quack doesn’t echo • Smart people have more copper in their hair There were some wacky headlines: • Homicide victims seldom talk to police • Tight end returns after colon surgery Mary Ellen and I went to dinner with our friends Pat and Garry. I casually mentioned that a duck’s quack does not echo and that a cow won’t walk down stairs.

“Fascinating,” Garry said. “Where did you learn these things?”

It’s just stuff I picked up while thinking outside the box.

Ouch, why is my finger stuck?

Commentary by Dr. Joseph Hui A neighbor approached me the other day and asked if I sports medicine could take a look at his hand. He reported that over the past few months, his finger has been getting stuck in a bent position making it difficult to straighten out. Initially, it started as a click or pop, but now it just seemed to get stuck. He also noticed some discomfort in the palm of his hand. From his recollection, there have been no injuries that would have caused this, and the frequency seems to be increasing, sometimes having to use his other hand to straighten his finger.

The proper term of this diagnosis is stenosing tenosynovitis, but it has been referred to as a “trigger finger” for ease. There’s an analogy I use in my clinic when describing this problem with my patients. Along the length of your finger and into your hand, there are short, segmented tunnels that guide the tendons responsible for bending your finger. These tunnels can become narrow due to inflammation.

Think of your tendon as a train. If it passes through a tunnel that’s too narrow, it can

get stuck. In the case of your tendon, it can cause your finger to do the same. If the finger is forced straight, the tendon is being forced through the narrow tunnel, causing significant pain.

There are a variety of ways to treat this disorder. The gold standard is through a surgical procedure, where a small incision is made in the hand to release the roof of the tunnel resulting in more room for the tendon to pass through. A non-surgical alternative that can be performed in the clinic includes using an ultrasound to guide a small needle through the tunnel to essentially make more room. A steroid injec-

tion also can provide short-term relief as opposed to the other options that are more definitive. If you’re experiencing trigger finger, consult with your physician about which option is best for you.

Do you have a question for Dr. Hui that you’d like addressed in his next column?

Sometimes, Jen Petro still can’t believe she owns a business, let alone a thriving one.

The Fishers resident and mother of three launched DropLeaf Communications “out of desperation” during a time her husband, Paul, was going through an “epic health crisis” that lasted four years, she said.

“I didn’t believe I could do it,” Petro said.

“I didn’t have the self-confidence to say, ‘I’m going to start a business.’”

But 10 years later, DropLeaf has grown from its roots providing communications and branding assistance to also offering a 12-week Business-Build for Women program. Petro offers the online course targeting women who have much to offer but don’t believe they have what it takes to start their own business. She wants to help her students build confidence and avoid some of the mistakes she made along the way.

“I had to spend hours and hours and hours and fall on my face a million times when I started my business,” said Petro, who often works out of the Platform 24 coworking space in Carmel. “So (my aim is) to say what would’ve been helpful to me and provide that up front for these women so they don’t have to go through the ridiculousness I did.”

Petro said she’s found that women tend to struggle with self-doubt more than men, which can hold them back in pursuing their dreams. It’s a feeling she remembers well from the days before launching DropLeaf because she feared her lack of having an MBA, a huge savings account or

extra time would lead to failure.

So, sharing her story with the women in her program and watching them succeed is the most rewarding part of her job, Petro said.

“The day when I taught the first class I bawled. When I hung up the call I cried.

This is what I was made to do,” Petro said.

“The first class was about overcoming fear of failure and self-doubts, and it’s like I’m preaching to myself.”

The next class runs from late September through mid-December, with registration closing Sept. 28. The program includes live teaching and interaction, a private Facebook group, online happy hours and more. Cost is $497, and Petro offers a few scholarships each year. Learn more or sign up for the program at dropleaf.co.

“There are so many women who don’t believe in themselves who have so much to offer the world who are being held back by their own limiting beliefs and selfdoubts,” Petro said. “For me, that’s such a gift to help them get past that.”

Indiana Conservatory Ballet members perform “Pulse.” (Photo by Renzulli Photography)

Indiana Ballet Conservatory’s ‘Pulse’ set for Basile Theatre performance

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Altona Yakovleva-Randall would listen to her husband, Daryl Randall, drum for fun around the house. dance After a couple years of thinking about it, the Indiana Ballet Conservatory founding artistic director created “Pulse: Dance to the Beat of Your Own Drummer,” which debuted in 2012.

“Pulse” will be performed at 7 p.m.

Oct. 3 at the Basile Theatre at the Historic Atheneum, 401 E. Michigan St., Indianapolis. It hasn’t been performed in full in a few years.

The Carmel-based IBC ballet follows the evolutionary progression of a young boy, a percussionist, and a girl, a ballerina, who dream of becoming famous artists.

Yakovleva-Randall’s husband, who was a participant in the acclaimed National Association of Music Merchants percussion music show in Chicago, provides the percussion music.

“It’s a collaboration of contemporary ballet and percussion, and it’s just that journey on the way to the dream,” Yakovleva-Randall said. “My message to

the students is to never give up.”

The ballet emphasizes ways in which dance and music are intricately intertwined and the ways art inspires life.

Yakovleva-Randall said the decision was made by the board to bring back “Pulse” in the beginning of the summer.

“We usually have a show this time of year, but we didn’t have full production for two years,” said Yakovleva-Randall, who recently moved from Geist to Carmel.

IBC Executive Director Jenny Okamoto said by the time of the performance, IBC will have had 6 1/2 weeks to prepare for the show.

“The kids have been very busy,” Okamoto said.

The message is conveyed through music, dance, voiceovers and a slide show.

There are four performers for the leads at different ages. There are 35 dancers in the performance.

“It’s nice to support the Atheneum because they’ve made improvements,” Okamoto said. “It’s open-cabaret seating, so it’s a different setup.”

Tickets are $20 in advance and $30 at the door. Tickets are available at indianaballetconservatory.org.

Performance supports Indy Humane A portion of the proceeds from “Pulse” ticket sales and beverages will support Indy Humane. IBC board member Sue Ames is a volunteer with Indy Humane.

“The goal is to have an important project to each board member and to base our fundraising and outreach around that,” Okamoto said.

There will be an Indy Humane mobile adoption unit on-site.

Yakovleva-Randall has two dogs that join her at IBC. “I have three rescue dogs, so we appreciate what rescue organizations are trying to do,” Okamoto said. “It’s really nice with this fall production that we can offer it more as a giveback like we did when it was cancer research.”

Okamoto said Tito’s Vodka and Sun King are donating beverages.

“The Atheneum is pretty dog-friendly.

They actually allow dogs into their coffee shop in the lobby,” Okamoto said.

IBC holds a Halloween contest for dogs, and one is selected to appear in IBC’s “The Nutcracker” in December.

“Last year, we lucked out because we had two French bulldogs, so we got to split-cast our dogs,” Okamoto said. “I always feel like dancers and dogs go together.”

After breaking a box office record at The Cat Theatre in Carmel over Independence Day weekend, Magic Thread Cabaret is bringing its hit show “Katy Gentry: Judy Garland LIVE!” to downtown Indianapolis’ Mass Ave. Arts & Cultural District for a special engagement this Christmas season.

Art Battle Fortville set for Sept. 29

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com A Facebook post by an artist friend from Phoenix about attending an event called Art Battle intrigued Libby Wyatt.

Art “She went to this really cool event, Art Battle, in Phoenix, so I looked it up and it looked awesome,” said Wyatt, who owns StoreHouse, a home goods store in Fortville. “We’re working really hard to bring the arts to Fortville.

I threw it out there (as an idea) to Lacey (Willard), and that’s basically how it got started.”

Wyatt, Willard and John Kitterman are founders of Art Battle Fortville. The event, which is making its Indiana debut, features 12 artists going head-to-head during 20-minute rounds of live painting. It is set for 6 to 10 p.m. Sept. 29 on Main Street in Fortville. Proceeds benefit the opening of a nonprofit art gallery on the first floor of the 100-year-old Carnegie library structure on Main Street.

“It’s a pretty vibrant artist scene, and we think Art Battle matches what our community is calling for in terms of art culture and music,” said Willard, a Fortville resident. “Some of the artists we’ve invited are

from Fortville, and we reserved a couple for Indianapolis artists as well.

There are two rounds of six artists each competing in a vote by those in attendance.

“It’s all voted on by the attendees,” Willard said.

The winners of each round meet in the championship. The winner advances to a regional event. There are then national and international rounds.

Willard said each round takes approximately one hour.

Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 at the door. Children 12 and under are admitted free.

ABA book signing set for Sept. 29

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com You can judge this book by its cover.

“The title of the book is, ‘We Changed the Game,’ and we did,” said former book Indiana Pacers player Bob “Neto” Netolicky, a Noblesville resident.

“Today’s NBA would not be the way it is if not for the ABA.” The book, which was released earlier this year, was written by Netolicky, Richard Tinkham and Robin Miller. A book signing is set for 10 a.m. to noon Sept. 29 at the American Legion Hall, 852 W. Main St., Carmel. The book is full of stories about the league’s many characters.

“Ninety-nine percent of the books out there about the ABA are third-, fourth-, fifth-hand stories,” said Netolicky, an original Pacer who played most of his career with Indiana. “This one kind of nails it. Dick Tinkham helped start the league and was the league lawyer. Robin followed us for three or four years when we started. He was a cub reporter, so he knows the real happenings.”

Bob Costas, who was a radio announcer for the ABA’s Spirits of St. Louis, praised the book.

Bob “Neto” Netolicky signs a book along with Robin Miller. (Submitted photo)

“If you loved the ABA as I did or are simply curious about a fascinating slice of sports history, you will love this book,” Costas said.

Ten percent of proceeds from book sales go to the Indianapolis-based Dropping Dimes Foundation that advocates for former ABA players.

“Dropping Dimes has taken the lead and is getting involved in our pension fight with the NBA,” Netolicky said. “We’ve got some heavy hitters helping us. We have eight or nine Hall of Famers on the advisory board, guys like George Gervin, Dan Issel and Artis Gilmore. Bob Costas. Reggie Miller is on it and so is Myles Turner.”

TeeJay’s Sweet Tooth Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 8660 Purdue Rd., Suite 8666-600, Indianapolis.

What to get: Donut Ice Cream Sandwich.

Price: $5.

Anna’s take: TeeJay’s Sweet Tooth has only been open a month and already customers are photographing the vibrantly colorful ice cream sandwiches and posting them on social media. According to TeeJay’s, the ice cream shop is home to what it calls the only donut ice cream sandwich in Indiana.

The sandwich is a sight to behold. Customers can choose two scoops out of 16 flavors to sandwich between halves of a Jack’s glazed donut and top it with one topping. I ordered the cookie dough ice cream and the cookies and cream ice cream with a donut sandwich and topped it with peanut butter crunch cereal.

When assembled, the donut/ice cream concoction is heated in a waffle iron-type device for five seconds, which is enough to warm the donut but not melt the ice cream.

The mix of flavors and textures from the flaky, sweetened donut glaze to the crunch of the cereal and smoothness of the ice cream tastes heavenly. The delicious behemoth was only $5. The shop offers more than donut sandwiches. I couldn’t help but sample the Fruity Pebbles Rice Krispy sandwich with Blue’s Vanilla and Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream topped with Lucky Charms cereal. It was a delicious, colorful snack.

I also tried a scoop each of the Lemoreo

(lemon Oreo) and the Graham Central Station flavors, which are the store’s most popular flavors.

TeeJay’s is affordable, and it sources its ice cream from Sundae’s Homemade Ice Cream in Indianapolis. The concoctions are dessert monsters you’d expect to find at a State Fair, and they are worth breaking a diet. In addition to ice cream sandwiches, TeeJay’s sells cones, scoops and floats.

Fall flavors will be available soon.

Behind Bars: I’m Your Huckleberry Get it at Sun King Spirits, Carmel Ingredients: 3 oz. No Mean City American gin, .5 oz. agave syrup, 2 oz. huckleberry syrup, kombucha, lemon wedge, basil leaves Directions: Add first three ingredients to a shaker, squeeze a lemon wedge into the mix, shake with ice and pour into a glass.

Blueprint for Improvement: Geist master bathroom sanctuary Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions

After

Before

The goal was to create a timeless master bathroom design that maximized the functionality of the space.

1. The biggest change came from removing the large decked tub that took up the outside wall of the bathroom and replacing it with a smaller freestanding tub, making the space appear much more open.

2. After removing the decked tub there was room to make some minor floorplan changes, relocating the single vanity and expanding the shower.

3. The shower expansion included creating a custom-glass enclosed shower with a bench seat and detailed tile work.

4. All cabinetry was updated, and a linen tower was added to create more storage space.

5. The space was finished with wood-look luxury vinyl tile flooring, a perfect material for any bathroom!

Background Info: This early 1990s home in the Admirals Pointe neighborhood of the Geist area is home to a growing family. Overall, the owners were happy with the home but it was in need of a few updates to make it function better for the soon-to-be family of four.

Before problems The bathrooms were the first priority for the homeowners. They had plenty of space, but the layout of the master bathroom made the room feel confined. The bathroom had never been updated, so the materials and bulkheads dated the space.

Mosque for the King of the World Commentary by Don Knebel Many visitors to India get to New Delhi, its current capital, but never get to nearby Old Delhi, fortravel merly the capital of the powerful Mughal Empire and home to a mosque known for a single hair.

In 1628, a Mughal prince killed his royal rivals, crowned himself the fifth Mughal Emperor and gave himself the name Shah Jahan (King of the World).

Three years later, Mumtaz, Shah Jahan’s favorite wife, died during the birth of their 14th child and almost immediately he began building her tomb in his capital city of Agra. In 1639, while the Taj Mahal was still unfinished, Shah Jahan moved his capital to a location 130 miles northwest of Agra, where he built a walled city along the Yamuna River named Shahjahanabad (Shah Jahan’s City).

In 1644, Shah Jahan ordered construction of an imposing mosque to serve his new capital. Five thousand artisans worked for six years building what became known as Jama Masjid (Friday Mosque), usually considered the largest mosque in India.

The mosque features two 130-foot tall sandstone minarets, three large marble domes and a 4-acre courtyard for 25,000 worshippers.

Today, Shahjahanabad is known as Old Delhi, which is, depending on your point of view, either one of the noisiest and most chaotic places on earth or one of the most vibrant and fascinating. The Jama Masjid, at the end of hectic Chandni Chowk, is among the area’s most popular sites, open to the public except during daily prayers from noon to 1:30 p.m. For a fee, visitors can climb the 130 narrow steps inside the southern minaret to
