“My colleagues have shared that usually only the loudest people take over town halls.

Hamilton County leaders, including U.S. Rep. Susan Brooks, recently celebrated the completion of one of united way the state’s largest solar panel projects.

The $8 million project that installed 9,346 solar panels at and near the Hamilton County Corrections Campus on Cumberland Road in Noblesville was dedicated Sept. 24.

A portion of the panels were installed on the rooftops of the existing buildings on the campus, and the remainder are on a 3-acre field near the campus, across Ind. 37.

In addition to the solar panels, the county also has converted all lighting to LED, energy-efficient lighting and converted the Hamilton County Jail’s HVAC systems from electric to gas.

“Utilities are the county’s second-highest expense, behind employee salaries and benefits,” County Commissioner Mark Heirbrandt said. “This project will save the county $25 million in utility and maintenance costs over the next 25 years.”

County budget focuses on new hires, employee raises news@currentinwestfield.com

Hamilton County Councilors recently wrapped up two days of budget hearings at the Hamfinance ilton County Government and Judicial Center in Noblesville, finalizing a budget of nearly $100 million.

“I’d like to commend our Schwartz council for doing a great job,” Hamilton County Council President Steve Schwartz stated. “There are seven different viewpoints on this council and a lot of passion in the decision-making process, but overall, I’m happy with the outcome. We spend very wisely.”

The proposed budget includes 20 new, full-time positions, one each in the coroner’s office and parks and recreation department, two in the prosecuting attorney’s office and 16 new sheriff’s deputies to staff the Hamilton County Jail expansion, which is ongoing. A new part-time

employee also has been added to help with veteran services.

The proposed budget also includes raises for county employees as well as $1.3 million to support 11 nonprofits in the county.

“Our expenditures will meet our revenues in the coming year,” stated Brad Beaver, Hamilton County Council vice president, who will become council Beaver president in January 2019.

“We were presented with budget requests from every department in the county. This is the best budget we could afford without going in the red.”

The council is scheduled to formally adopt the budget at a special meeting at 8:30 a.m. Oct. 15. in Conference Room 1A at the Hamilton County Government and Judicial Center, 1 Hamilton County Sq., Noblesville. When approved, it will be sent to the state of Indiana for approval before going into effect Jan. 1, 2019.

Fall highlights archaeology

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com

Open House Thursday, November 8 from 5:30-8:00 p.m.

For the 17th straight year, staff at Strawtown Koteewi Park, a things to do Hamilton County park in Noblesville, are focusing throughout the fall on archaeology.

September was the statewide recognition of Archaeology Month, but staff at the park have turned the initiative into a seasonal event.

“We’ve participated since 2001, and we do a lot of programming,” said Christy Brocken, historical resource specialist at Strawtown Koteewi Park. “In one year, we see approximately 4,000 come through. For us, it used to be Archaeology Month (in September), but now it’s really Archaeology Fall. It starts at the end of August and goes through October with some programming into November.

In addition to school field trips, we also do programming on Saturdays for the general public.”

Brocken is an archaeologist. Before joining Hamilton County Parks and Recreation in 2006, she worked as a contract archaeologist.

Brocken’s job at Strawtown Koteewi Park involves cataloging thousands of artifacts into the park’s digital cataloging system.

There are more than 14,200 catalogues in the database, and each can record up to 200 items found at the park. Many of those items are on display in the park’s Taylor Center for Natural History during archaeology programming, including pieces of tools that are estimated to be approximately 10,500 years old.

The fall focus on archaeology also lends itself as a learning opportunity for local graduate students studying archaeology.

Despite thousands of items having been found, Brocken said less than 1 percent of the park property has been excavated.

Archaeology also factors into the parks department’s plans when it looks to expand services by developing new attractions on the property.

In recent years, new structures have been added, like a horse barn for trail riding, a man-made sledding hill, an archery range, a Native American village recreation and more.

“The development that takes place on this park is unlike a lot of other parks in that you’ve got to have documentation,” said Don Nicholls, resource development specialist with HCPR. “If you turn a spade in this park, you better know what you’re doing, and really you’re not allowed to.”

GEIST • Parts of I-465 in Lawrence are undergoing work, from three miles north of the Lawrence exit at Binford Boulevard to East 16th Street. Work will primarily be done overnight on Thursdays and from Friday night through Monday morning. The project should be complete by Oct. 22.

FISHERS • Beginning on or after Sept. 4, Florida Road will be closed between Luxhaven Road and Martha Street to allow for the rehabilitation of Bridge 192.

The Hamilton County Highway Dept. will work on the project. The road will be closed to all thru traffic and is tentatively scheduled to reopen before Nov. 3.

• 106th Street is closed to through traffic from Eller Road to Allisonville Road and from Allisonville Road to Hague Road for the 106th Street Infrastructure Project. Closures will also take place from Hague Road to the Crosspoint Boulevard/Lantern Road roundabout. The project is expected to be complete this fall. Eller Road is closed to through traffic south of White Horse Lane for concrete work associated with the 106th Street Infrastructure Project and should reopen this fall.

• Traffic has been shifted to the east to allow for widening on the west side along Allisonville Road from 126th Street to 131st Street. Restrictions will be in place between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. and flaggers will be on site directing traffic, as necessary. All southbound left turns from onto 126th Street from Allisonville are prohibited through September. The roadway expansion project is expected to be complete by winter.

CARMEL • The intersection of Main Street and Gray Road is closed as construction crews put finishing touches on a new roundabout.

Until then, the south leg of the intersection remains closed. The project has been delayed because of utility relocation issues and is expected to be complete by the end of the month.

• The intersection at City Center Drive and 3rd Avenue SW will be closed for final resurfacing of a new roundabout.

Carmel Drive and Old Meridian Street are closed for construction of a roundabout.

• Lane restrictions are under way near Keystone Parkway and 96th Street, where a new roundabout interchange will be built. Construction is expected to last through 2019.

• Construction on a new access ramp

from Lowes Way to Keystone Parkway is under way. Phase one of the project is expected to be complete in October 2019.

Phase 2 of the 146th Street construction project is under way between Ditch and Towne roads. A frontage road will be available to access homes and businesses. • West 96th Street is closed west of Ditch Road for a storm water culvert project.

• Range Line Road is closed to northbound traffic between 8th Street to just south of Clay Terrace for installation of a storm water collection system and pedestrian connectivity. The project is expected to last until November.

NOBLESVILLE • The transformation of the intersection of 19th and Pleasant streets to a roundabout began Sept. 17. Utility relocation previously was completed and construction signs are installed in the work zone. The public should be aware that construction activity will occur while the intersection is open to traffic. During phase three, a 21-day closure of 19th Street adjacent to the intersection is planned for the beginning of October. During this period, entrance to post office will come through a temporary access off Pleasant Street. Approximately 15,000 vehicles travel through the intersection daily, according to the Hamilton County Highway Dept.

The existing three-leg intersection with 19th Street under stop control will be converted to a single lane roundabout. Lighting and sidewalks also will be installed.

• The Indiana Dept. of Transportation recently announced bridge work in Noblesville. Crews will replace a bridge on Ind. 38 over Mud Creek between Ind. 32 and Ind. 13 in Hamilton County, west of Clarksville. Ind. 38 will be closed for the construction. Traffic will detoured via Ind. 13, Ind. 32 and Ind. 38 to get around the closure.

• The Indiana Dept. of Transportation has announced lane closures on Ind. 32 for a project lasting through the end of the year.

better together Lawrence Chamber initiative aides community

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com The Greater Lawrence Chamber of Commerce has taken action cover story to improve its city and schools, continuing a 34-year tradition of giving back.

The chamber recently completed its third of four projects for the Better Together initiative for 2018, which serves as an intersection between community and commerce through different events throughout the city.

“Better Together is clearly an opportunity to walk that talk where we want to do what we can to bring those worlds together,” GLCOC Executive Director Trace Yates said. “The traditional chamber point of view is with membership and commerce, and all the other economic development, traditional work a chamber does. But, hey, we are also part of the community, so what can

we do to help our community as a whole?

With Better Together, we select four community service-based projects per year.”

For the first Better Together event of the year, the chamber established a community service day in May at Lawrence Community Gardens, a 7.6-acre space operated by the community.

“It truly is a community garden in its purest sense,” Yates said. “That was the first project. We did spring planting and clean-up.”

In August, for the second Better Together event of the year, the chamber partnered with Indiana Members Credit Union to collect school supplies and stuff backpacks to distribute to children of military families.

Most recently, the third Better Together event took place in conjunction with Indy Do Day, a separate initiative of the Rotary Club of Indianapolis, from Sept. 27 through Sept. 29.

The fourth and final Better Together project is set for December.

“For the fourth project, we have this annual tradition for Better Together and the chamber,” Yates said. “In December, we partner with Lawrence Township Fire Dept. to help collect monetary donations and toys for families in need for the holiday season.”

The LFD Family Assistance Program has been aiding Lawrence families during holiday seasons for the past three decades. It donates food, clothing and toys to those in need.

Volunteers are being recruited for the December event. The chamber opens Better Together events to those who may not ordinarily be involved in chamber initiatives.

For more, visit lawrencechamberofcommerce.org, and click on Better Together under the events tab.

Because the third project for the 2018 Better Together initiative aligned with Indy Do Day – a Rotary Club of Indianapolis initiative from Sept. 27 to Sept. 29 – the chamber was among the organizations participating in the day of service at Lawrence Township schools. Indy Do Day volunteers are assigned different projects determined by Cori Korn, executive director of the Lawrence Township School Foundation.

“On this particular Indy Do Day, we did 14 different projects at 14 different locations or schools throughout the district,” Korn said. “So, the projects really vary depending on the school. The majority of them were all outside, like groundskeeping work in our outdoor labs. One of our fun things we are doing is at Brook Park Elementary. We’re building a mud kitchen, which is a play area outside for the kids.”

The Lawrence chamber worked on sprucing up the community garden at Crestview Elementary Sept. 28.

“This one project, Indy Do Day happens across Marion County in September of each year, and it’s a mutual opportunity to say, ‘Hey, let’s participate in Indy Do Day and make it a Lawrence Township addition,’” Yates said. “What Indy Do Day does is they get people in the community to just do this day of service on the same day.”

LE T T ER Brooks is a leader

Be polite Commentary by Terry Anker Etiquette follows us everywhere.

We line up in a certain way at airports. We order our food in certain ways at restaurants. We interact with each other, in certain ways, every day. Famed heiress and arbiter of all things proper, Marjorie Merriweather Post, applied her considerable free time, and wealth, to advancing some modern standard of polite society. America, it seemed to her, had drifted from the rigid protocol of its colonial roots. While it might have been punishable by death to have turned a back to the queen, was one expected to behave the same in the presence of a senator from the newly minted United States?

As time has invariably marched on, these set-in-stone rules of social interaction have eroded. Every day as casual day is common in our offices. First names are the ubiquitous exchange of virtually every workplace. Even in the citadel of rule-making autocrats, weddingplanners have loosened the reins on their guidelines. Do we sit on the left or the right? Do we stand or sit – and when? Do we buy a gift or just hand over cash? Do we dress up or decidedly dress down? In a world of elusive standards, can we be expected to know the wediquette?

Still, shouldn’t we find room for just a bit of politeness? With hostilities high and civility low, is there a practice, a dictate, that can guide us through these stormy seas? Perhaps knowing how long one has to respond to a formal invitation isn’t going to stop the hate and conflict surging in the world around us, but how can having a sense of reasonable expectation (on both sides of a matter) be a bad thing? We may not care about the RSVP, but they might.

Pardon my appearance Commentary by Danielle Wilson My youngest recently attended her first high school dance. A big deal for her, sure, but not really for me, as her humor three siblings have already navigated several dances. Which is why, on my way to the departure location for the awkward-photo session of my daughter and 27 of her besties, I didn’t think twice about the fact that I’d be rolling into a stranger’s home sporting sweaty workout gear, no makeup and a disheveled ponytail.

Surprise! About 30 parents were already there, most looking, if not ready for an evening out, certainly showered and pulled together. Apparently, this was an adult gathering, too. The introvert in me screamed, “Leave now!,” but I hadn’t even seen my child yet, let alone documented her moment for Facebook posterity.

So, I engaged in uncomfortable small talk with beautiful people I didn’t know, acutely

aware that I smelled like a damp gym sock.

Eventually, I tried to disappear into a corner, but it was no use. We had unfortunately offered to host the after-party, and as word got around that “Maddie’s mom” was here, I was sought out for “good luck” wishes, cash offerings and, of course, the my-son-is-theboyfriend, glad-we-could-finally-meet chat.

In hindsight, I clearly made rookie mistakes. I could have arrived much later, brought along Doo as my wingman, or at a minimum, slapped on some mascara. Now, I’ll forever be branded the aloof, stinky mom with ill-fitting leggings. On a positive note, my daughter looked gorgeous, and I did get the pictures to prove it.

Peace out.

Editor, 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 and dangerous pathogens.

Closer to home, Brooks is working with colleagues across the aisle to ensure that women of all ages have access to life-saving mammograms. If current federal recommendations go into effect, women between the ages of 40-49 may lose coverage for these screenings.

Brooks voted in favor of more than 50 bills this summer to support substance abuse prevention, treatment, education and enforcement.

Brooks sponsored a law to ensure law enforcement officers have access to mental health care.

She wrote a law to help veterans take full advantage of their GI Bill benefits.

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

This is quite the record of accomplishment, and it’s why I’ll be supporting and voting for Rep. Brooks, a proven leader, this fall.

Join the best girl Leadership Experience in the world!

Remembering the fixer Commentary by Dick Wolfsie We have a great fix-it guy. His name is Randy. Handy Randy has a lot to live up to. Our last handyman died humor 13 years ago this month. It’s taken us that long to find a replacement for Steve. And a replacement for the missing hallway floor tile, and the bathroom faucet handle and the bulb for the refrigerator.

Here’s a memory of Steve from 2005.

When Steve comes over, we sit and chat about his kids and his grandkids. Then, he gets around to his infirmities and then his wife’s cousins who are overstaying their visit. And finally, how things are going at his regular job — which, interestingly, is just talking to people on the phone about their problems. And he’s not a therapist: He’s an acoustical engineer.

Then, it’s time for a little lunch. After about an hour, I do something rude. I ask Steve about actually fixing something.

“Steve, sorry to interrupt, but can we talk about fixing the hinge on the front door?”

I should be more careful with how I phrase things, because for the next hour that’s exactly what we do. Last week, I

learned a lot about the rich history of the door hinge, the benefits of stainless steel over iron and the evolution of the pin that allows the hinge to move freely.

But my door still didn’t close well.

“I’ll have to fix that hinge another time,” Steve said. “It’s getting late.”

“It wasn’t late when you got here six hours ago.”

“Dick, these things take time. What’s a good day for me to come back?”

“Why are you coming back? We can do what we do over the phone.”

Despite my kidding, Steve was our savior.

Steve could fix anything, except the cancer that finally took him.

After he passed, I appreciated his skill and friendship even more, and I wrote a tribute to him that I will share with you next week.

As I write this, Randy is upstairs installing mirrors in our new bathrooms. Randy has become a pal as well. That’s the kind of guy you need when you’re in a fix.

Civic Theatre presents Cole Porter classic ‘Anything Goes’ Oct. 12-27

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com This will be the fifth time Michael J. Lasley has been involved with “Anything Goes,” but it will be his first musical time directing.

Civic Theatre Executive Artistic Director Lasley, who will be involved with his 201st show at Civic, will direct the production of Cole Porter’s “Anything Goes” Oct. 12 to 27 at The Tarkington in Carmel.

“I’ve been involved with it three times at Civic and two more times at other theaters,” said Lasley, who joined Civic Theatre in 1990. “This is the first time I’ve directed it. For as popular a show as it is in community theaters and regional theaters, it was on Broadway in 1934 and then not again until 1987. Then there was production again in 2011. It’s very popular with theater-goers, but has not had a lot of revivals on Broadway.”

It was last performed in Civic’s Young Artists Program in 2013. Lasley also was involved with the 2003 production at Civic.

The musical’s songs include the title song, “I Get a Kick out of You,” and “You’re the Top.” “We’re partnering with the Great American Songbook to promote this and they are going to have a display out in the lobby because these songs are the Great American Songbook,” Lasley said. “It’s a great tie-in for everybody. With this being our 104th season, to have a big splashy show like this with a Hoosier composer is perfect for us.”

Susie Harloff, Avon, is playing nightclub singer Reno Sweeney for the second time.

She previously performed the role at Footlite Musicals in 2017 in Indianapolis.

“But this is a completely different version of the show,” Harloff said. “This storyline makes a little more sense because it is kind of an old-fashioned, crazy storyline.”

Harloff loves performing with Civic Theatre.

“As an amateur actress, it says professionalism all over,” Harloff said.

She last performed at Civic in 2013 in “Into the Woods.”

“I got to the play the Baker’s Wife in that show, which was a bucket-list role, a role I always dreamed of playing,” Harloff said. “After that, playing Reno Sweeney (at Civic) is my next bucket-list role.”

Harloff said the choreography is intense.

“I’ve been dancing for a long time and pick things up pretty quick, but I did not pick this up quick,” Harloff said. “I had to work really, really hard to get all the steps. I’m still trying to figure some things out. The level of direction is so intense. They really try to dig deep down into the character and make you really think about who it is you are playing and not just what lines you (have).”

Juddson Updike, a Carmel resident, is performing in his first Civic show but had worked in the production area and Civic shows for younger people.

“I didn’t start in theater until I was 19,” Updike said. “I did some small stuff in Chicago. I performed for Disney for a yearand-a-half on a cruise ship, singing and dancing, working with Mickey Mouse and all that fun stuff.”

Updike is playing Billy Crocker.

“He’s a little different than I am, but he’s a lot of fun,” Updike said. “I’m basically a stowaway on the ship, so I get to act in disguises and doing different voices.

It’s a lot of fun to play because I get to be a couple of different characters.”

A behind-the-scenes look Civic Theatre will start its 2018-19 season with its “Putting it Together” program Oct. 12 for the second consecutive year.

The fundraising session starts at 5:30 p.m., prior to the 7 p.m. show.

“The idea is to ask people to pay a little more, which is actually what it costs to do this,” Lasley said. “We get about 50 percent of our income from support from individuals, government foundations, sponsors and the other half comes from box office.”

Lasley said the idea is for subscribers and individual ticket buyers to pay twice what they normally would pay as a fundraiser.

“We give them something to eat and drink, but more importantly we give them a look at the process from auditions all the way to seeing the show that night,” Lasley said. “They’ll see crews set up, they’ll be able to take tours backstage, see the actors preparing and see the scenery backstage.”

Opening Night: Mr. SOUL!

Louie’s Wine Dive

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 701 Broad Ripple Ave., Indianapolis and 345 Massachusetts Ave., Indianapolis What to get: 4-pork gnocchi Price: $14 Anna’s take: The ambience alone of Louie’s Wine Dive in Broad Ripple already has me yearning to go back. The little wine bar is at Broad Ripple Avenue and College Avenue with an open concept of exposed brick walls, exposed wood and plenty of wine bottles displayed throughout the restaurant. I started my dining experience with the pineapple tuna nachos. This glutenfree appetizer stacked a thick nugget of sesame-encrusted tuna, a chunk of pineapple, wakame and sriracha aioli atop a corn tortilla chip. The plate is sharable, with five delicately balanced nachos, but you won’t want to share after tasting.

For my main course, I ordered 4-pork

Gnocchi are small, thick dumplings made out of potatoes. They resemble pasta. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

gnocchi, which is essentially pasta made out of potatoes, so it also is gluten-free.

The plump, little dumplings were warm and doughy. If comfort had a taste, it would be gnocchi. The dish is complemented with a house-made ragú and, as its name suggests, highlights pork. There’s bacon. There’s Italian sausage. There’s prosciutto. There’s pork shoulder. The meal is hearty and warm, and Louie’s Wine Dive definitely doesn’t skimp on the portions. The 4-pork gnocchi comes with a serving of focaccia, which I opted to use as an edible spoon to sop up the leftover sauce. Seriously, do not let that stuff go to waste.

To top it off, I tried the beignets, which are dusted with powdered sugar and served with a side of warm rum butter. Six beignets will run you $7, and $2 of that goes to Riley Hospital for Children.

Suggested pairings: Argiano’s Non Confunditur Cabernet blend from Tuscany.

A glass is $14. It isn’t overly tannic. Fruity notes of the wine counter the savory taste of the pasta. A bottle is $52.

Behind bars: Whiskey Clover Get it at Ocean Prime, Indianapolis Ingredients: .75 oz. Hennessy VS, .75 oz. Gentleman Jack Tennessee Whiskey, 1 oz. honey water, 1 oz. fresh squeezed orange juice, .5 oz. fresh squeezed lemon juice, flamed orange peel Directions: Add all ingredients to a shaker, fill with ice and shake well. Strain into a cocktail glass and garnish with the orange peel.

From 1968 to 1973, the public-television variety show SOUL!, guided by the enigmatic producer and host Ellis Haizlip, offered an unfiltered, uncompromising celebration of black literature, poetry, music and politics.

Candlelight Theatre show set

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

6:30-11:00PM AT THE DEMAREE BARN 615 STARKEY RD, ZIONSVILLE, IN 46077

Fishers resident Kevin Shadle has a new twist in his latest Candlelight Theatre role.

Shadle plays play Judge Joseph Holt in James Trofatter’s “The (White) House of Horrors,” Oct. 12 to 28, at the Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site in Indianapolis.

As Judge Advocate GenRichards eral of the Army, Holt was chief prosecutor in the trial of the alleged Abraham Lincoln assassination conspirators. The play centers on Mary Surratt, who was hanged after being found guilty.

West “This role will be a bit different for me in that it is not a comedic role,” Shadle said. “I have done the Halloween show before and enjoy performing at the Presidential Harrison Site. From the actor’s perspective, it is an altogether different way to perform theater, a short vignette many times a night, for an audience that sometimes totals more than some community theater audiences.”

Noblesville resident Ann Richards is a relative newcomer to Candlelight Theatre, performing as Christmas Spider in last year’s holiday show.

“It was so much fun, playing a spider in a former U.S. president’s home,” she said.

Richards plays Francis Cleveland, wife of Grover Cleveland, the 22nd and 24th president.

“Such fun. I even get to Shadle do a little channeling (of spirits) during the play,” she said.

Geist resident Donna Wing, Candlelight Theatre’s creative director, portrays Surratt.

“The greatest challenge Wing to me is in playing a role of a woman found guilty of a crime where doubt is an element,” she said.

Noblesville resident John West is playing President James A. Garfield.

“I like this role as it is the first time I’ll be playing such a prominent person in history,” West said.

Blueprint for Improvement: Zionsville family home transformation Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions

After

Before

The goal was to create a space that was more functional for a family and create a design that reflected the homeowners’ personal taste.

1. The biggest change was removing the peninsula and expanding the kitchen into the dining area.

2. Relocating the fridge to the outside wall of the kitchen allowed for the addition of a large eat-in island.

3. All new cabinetry and quartz countertops were added, giving it a more modern look.

4. The fluorescent overhead light box was removed. Recessed and pendent lights were added to bring the space up to date.

5. The doorway to the laundry room was opened up, creating more space to add new cabinetry, locker-style storage and more countertop space.

6. For more details on this project, visit us on Facebook, Instagram and Houzz.

Background Info: This 1970s home in the Colony Woods neighborhood of Zionsville is home to a small family. Overall, the owners loved the location but never felt like the interior of the home functioned well for them or reflected their personal taste.

Before problems The focus of this project was the kitchen.

It was very small and the design was dated. For similar reasons, the powder bath, laundry room and basement also needed updating. The home had never been updated, so everything inside was original.

Larry Greene is the owner of Case Design/Remodeling. You may email him at lgreene@caseindy.com. To see more before-and-after pictures of this project, visit caseindy.com/blog.

Jerusalem’s Bethesda Pool Commentary by Don Knebel One of the most famous miracles attributed to Jesus involved curing a paralyzed man unable to get into the healing waters of the Bethesda Pool. That once-doubted pool can now be seen in Jerusalem. travel The Gospel of John reports that the Bethesda Pool was near Jerusalem’s Sheep Gate and was surrounded by five porticos, suggesting a pentagonal configuration. Because pentagonal structures were unknown in the first century and no pool had been found near the Sheep Gate, scholars once assumed the Bethesda Pool was either a literary device or inaccurately described. In the late 19th century, archaeologists uncovered a pool structure just north of the Temple Mount. Excavations in the 1950s revealed that the pool was rectangular, divided by a stone dam into two nearly square sections. The four sides and the central dam were all topped by colonnaded porticos.

Scholars now agree that the Bethesda Pool not only existed where the Bible locates it, but that it had five porticos, albeit not in the configuration people had assumed.

Archaeologists have determined that the Bethesda Pool was built in two stages, with the northern section and the dam built first to collect and store water for the Temple.

The second section, south of the dam, was built later to increase the pool’s storage capacity. When completed in the third century B.C., the two-section pool was 400 feet long, CITY OF FISHERS PLAT COMMITTEE NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a public hearing will be held by the City of Fishers Advisory Plan Commission at 5:00PM, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 25 in the City of Fishers Administration Conference Room, located on the 2nd floor within Fishers City Hall building, One Municipal Drive, Fishers, Indiana.

REQUEST: At that hearing, the public will be invited to offer comments on the following request (“Proposal”): Consideration of petition PP-18803, a request to amendment the Fishers Trade Center Primary Plat for the construct of a parking lot on approximately 1.87 acres for Tom Roush Lincoln Dealership.

LOCATION: The Proposal is generally located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Britton Park Road and Trade Center Drive, with a common address of 13882 Britton Park Road Fishers, IN 46038, also known as parcels #15-11-19-00-00-019.000.

Indiana Law requires the City of Fishers to provide notice in a published newspaper circulation. Although Indiana State Law requires a noticed public hearing for a subdivision of land, the Plat Committee is obligated by law to approve a subdivision of land IF it complies with all the City’s development standards. If a land subdivision request does not meet all the City’s development standards, the petitioner will need a waiver of the standard(s) and the Plat Committee may approve the subdivision with a waiver, or approve it with conditions and the waiver, or the request may be denied.

The case file about this project is available for public review in the office of the Department of Planning and Zoning, located on the 2nd floor at Fishers City Hall. The meeting agenda and related information will be posted on the City’s website forty-eight (48) hours in advance of the meeting specified above.

Written objections filed with the secretary of the Advisory Plan Commission before the hearing will be considered.

Concrete candles make no scents Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Southern Section of Bethesda Pool. (Photo by Don Knebel)

165 feet wide and 50 feet deep, with steps leading into the water. In the fifth century, when the Bethesda Pool was not needed as a reservoir, Christians built a church atop the dam, with both sides of the church perched above the pool on arches anchored in the pool’s bottom.

Whether Jesus healed a paralyzed man at the Bethesda Pool is a matter of faith. Whether the pool existed is not.

Think about concrete for a second, even if you weren’t already thinking about it. Can you picture it? Can you feel its hardness? Do you see a grammar guy driveway, sidewalk or building in your mind? Concrete is solid.

When we talk about concrete as a noun, we think about driveways. As an adjective, concrete is anything you can experience using your five senses; it’s the opposite of abstract. Something that is abstract doesn’t exist in material form. Today, we’re tackling abstract and concrete nouns.

Remember how a noun is a “person, place, thing or idea?” The first three are easy; they fall into the territory of “concrete” nouns. Only when we get into the “idea” category do things get dicey. Abstract nouns are things like freedom and love. You can’t buy a scented version of an abstract noun at Yankee Candle.

I suppose you could buy a candle that smelled like freshly poured concrete. Is concrete considered “cement” when it’s wet and only becomes concrete when it hardens? Is it like magma and lava or bread and toast?

These are the things that keep me up at night. You could obviously buy an apple pie or pumpkin spice candle. But you can’t bottle “wisdom” or even taste “disappointment.” Try as they might, the scent scientists at the Yankee Candle laboratory couldn’t candleize an abstract noun even if they burned the candle at both ends.
