Will self-driving cars be the wave of the future? Many believe so.

Todd Lohman, vice president and managing principal of the Indianapolis office of Walker Parking Condevelopment sulting, discussed the options that might be available if self-driving vehicles or autonomous vehicles become prevalent April 18 at the OneZone Chamber luncheon at Ritz Charles in Carmel.

Some of the impediments could be affordability, regulatory, insurance and liability, economic impact with loss of jobs, ethics of programming and cybersecurity.

“The idea is to do some prudent parking planning now so if it does come, you are prepared for it in the future without making major changes to adopt it,” Lohman said.

“If you are designing a surface lot, do you have the length for a pick and drop area?

If it’s a garage, do you have the ability to have more dense parking? Clients are asking what do they need to do to prepare for it, asking, 'What can I do now that will help me in the future?’ It’s a lot of crystal ball work, obviously.”

Lohman discussed how some parking facilities might look for a way to convert the space if it is not needed in the future.

Lohman said the Carmel Arts & Design District might be a popular place for a self-

driving car because of meal and entertainment options.

“These work-play areas will have a big impact,” Lohman said. “Currently, you might take your car and it will just sit there for three hours and it’s taking up a spot. Now other people might be able to go there and use that spot multiple times while my car sits there for three hours.”

Lohman said Uber and Lyft might eventually benefit from autonomous vehicles because it would eliminate labor costs.

“I’ve heard that Volvo’s goal is to have an autonomous vehicle on the road in Europe sometime this summer,” he said.

Lohman said 94 percent of all crashes are caused by driver error.

So, safety should be higher, when the number of the self-driving vehicles increase.

“The average life of a car is 11 years, so it’s going to take a lot of time to get fully adopted,” Lohman said.

Plus, it’s unknown how long it will take for the cars to become affordable to the average driver.

Lohman said autonomous cars could help older drivers and those with disabilities.

Another way self-driving vehicles could be valuable is in taking children to their various practices or activities.

“When my kids were young, I felt my fulltime job was being a taxi driver,” Lohman said.

Fishers students learn importance of giving back

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Fishers Elementary School first-grade teacher Brooke Daniel received a Mudlove bracelet for Christfundraiser mas. The spirit of the gift spread through her elementary classroom and into the community.

Mudlove bracelets come from an organization whose mission is to provide clean water to Africa. Daniel was excited by her gift and shared its story with her students.

“I told students how cool it was that they provide clean water, and (the students) were kind of confused by that (why others needed clean water),” she said. “It just really sparked a lot of conversation with them, and we began brainstorming ways to make a difference in our community.”

The students took a field trip to the Well Coffeehouse, where they learned of the business’s efforts to provide money for wells in various areas. Students identifited multiple organizations they wanted to raise money for. They chose Riley Hospital for Children and organized a PowerPoint pre-

sentation to inform the school’s principal of their plans.

Students then organized a coin drive competition between different grades at

the school, with the funds going to Riley.

Homelessness and the Humane Society for Hamilton County also were on the students’ radar, and Daniel said the group

organized a food drive last month and planned for a donation drive for the Humane Society this month.

Heather Schmidt, whose daughter Alana is in Daniel’s class, said the difference the lesson made in her daughter was obvious.

“The kids were very curious and interested in why somebody needed clean water, and (Daniel) took that interest and developed it into a whole unit,” Schmidt said.

“Kids started learning about the community and ways to affect the local community.

(Alana) came home and talked to me and was so excited. It was really neat of them reaching out to learn about the community and to impact the community. I mean, they’re first-graders.”

The class also read a previous article in Current in Fishers about Brother Doug’s Pizza contest where owner Doug Jeschke asked the community for ideas on how to give back. Jeschke visited the classroom last month and shared his efforts with students.

“It was definitely student-led, and they were passionate,” Daniel said. “They definitely drove this along.”

DIVORCE – WHAT TO EXPECT: Relocation of a Minor Child

Hire Us

Before Your Spouse Does DIVORCE & FAMILY LAW MEDIATION & COLLABORATIVE DIVORCE Custody Child Support Prenuptial Agreements Adoptions Education Law DUI 317.DIVORCE | www.hzlegal.com 11555 N. Meridian St. | Suite 530 | Carmel, IN 46032

The process of going through a divorce is not only emotionally draining, but can also be somewhat daunting and overwhelming when trying to re-group and start anew. Knowing all details about future plans, is virtually unrealistic. Oftentimes, through the divorce process, some parents may have a temporary residence until they determine their next best step. Or, further on down the road, re-marriage might occur, making a change in residence inevitable. No matter what the reason, all of these scenarios may lead a parent to seek to relocate with a minor child.

Consequently, when relocation is at issue, there are several specific steps a parent must take in order to ensure he or she is complying with Indiana law.

Formal notice must be given to the non-relocating parent. In such a circumstance, the relocating individual must provide formal notice to the non-relocating parent ninety (90) days prior to any relocation. However, some circumstances make it so that the relocation may not be readily known ninety (90) days in advance. If that is the case, it is still best to file as soon as possibly close to when the relocation is known, but such notice must be filed no later than thirty (30) days prior to the actual move.

By law, a formal Notice of Intent to Relocate must include certain information. This information includes the following: the current and proposed residential addresses; whether the relocating individual’s contact information will change and if so, the new contact information; the date of the proposed relocation; the reason for the proposed relocation; and notice that the non-relocating individual must object to any proposed relocation within sixty (60) days from the date of his or her receipt of the Notice of Intent to Relocate and may request a modification of custody and/or parenting time.

A relocating parent must file this notice even if there is no Court Order regarding parenting time or custody and the matter is only pending before the court awaiting hearing. Further, there is no distance requirement for relocating individuals. In fact, the Indiana General Assembly repealed the distance requirement, making it so that a relocating parent must file a Notice of Intent to Relocate regardless of the distance involved in a proposed relocation. However, oftentimes, there are many instances where there is no objection to a proposed relocation, especially when a parent is moving only a short distance, like down the

street.

In the event that the non-relocating individual objects to the proposed relocation of the minor child, the court will set the matter for a hearing on the contested relocation. Relocation matters are very challenging, for the court will not restrict a parent from moving, but the court can restrict the parent from moving the minor child. At hearing, the relocating individual bears the burden to show that the proposed relocation of the minor children is made for a good faith and legitimate reason. If the initial burden is deemed to have been met, the burden then shifts to the non-relocating individual to show that the proposed relocation is not in the child(ren)’s best interest.

In contemplating whether to grant or deny the relocation the court will consider several factors, especially any factor that would affect the best interest of the child. These factors include the following: the distance involved in the proposed relocation; the hardship and expense involved for the nonrelocating individual to exercise parenting time; the feasibility of preserving the relationship between the nonrelocating individual and the child(ren) through suitable parenting time, including consideration of the financial circumstances of the parties; whether there is an established pattern of conduct by the relocating individual, including actions by the relocating individual to either promote or thwart a nonrelocating individual's contact with the child(ren); and the reasons provided by the relocating individual for seeking relocation and nonrelocating parent for opposing the relocation of the child.

Depending upon the distance, in the event of the relocation of either parent, should distance become a factor in exercising parenting time, the Court may order that either party exercise parenting time “When Distance is a Major Factor” as outlined in the Indiana Parenting Time Guidelines or that which the circumstances may warrant.

Franklin is Teacher of the Month news@currentinfishers.com New Britton Elementary first-grade teacher Kasey Accomplishment Franklin was selected as the Edge Guys Heating and Cooling March Teacher of the Month. Franklin was nominated by student Julia Day. As a reward, Julia won a pizza party for her class, courtesy of Papa John’s, and Franklin received a $50 Visa gift card from the Edge Guys, Current’s Teacher of the Month sponsor.

Here is Julia’s winning essay: Teacher of the Month: The teacher I want to nominate is Mrs. Franklin. Mrs. Franklin makes good rules.

Her rules are nice because when people are being bad she separates them, but not for the whole day. That is nice because some people don’t like to be away from their best friends. You know how some people feel embarrassed when they get called on and everyone knows they’ve been called on? Mrs. Franklin gives them a look, not just tells them out loud. The stuff that we read is not super hard books, but books that are our level that are “right” for us. If

somebody in class is having trouble, Mrs. Franklin gives us an order of people she will talk to first. That makes me feel good because I think that is very nice because she lets everyone talk. That is good because everyone gets to share. When some people forget to get their books at the library, she sends a person down to help that person and to show them the way back to the classroom. I love Mrs. Franklin and these are the reasons she should be “Teacher of the Month.”

Essays are due by May 29 and should be emailed to teacher@youarecurrent.com.

FFA receives $2,500 grant

By Renee Larr • news@currentinfishers.com Hamilton Southeastern’s Future Farmers of America chapaccomplishment ter was recently awarded a grant of $2,500. America’s Farmers: Grow Communities grants are sponsored by the Monsanto Fund to support rural farming communities. The program began in 2010 and allows local farmers to nominate groups that are making a difference in their local farming community.

The HSE FFA was nominated by Hamilton County corn and soybean farmer Terry Boone.

“I have two daughters who were members of the FFA at HSE. Both served as presidents of the FFA,” Boone said. “The FFA was instrumental in my daughters’ lives and careers. I was instrumental getting the adult boosters back at that time. I’m thoroughly aware of Tom Younts’ (HSE FFA Advisor) commitment to those kids and the program. He has spent his entire adult life helping that program.”

The chapter has plans to spread the money across a few different areas within

the organization.

“We can go out in to the community and use the money how we see fit. We’re planning to use it for some trips for students,” said Adam Schreck, reporter for the HSE FFA Chapter. “I, myself, have attended different camps for FFA. It’s a really great opportunity we’ve been given.”

The group also plans to use the money to make money for the Carrie Colglazier scholarship.

Art, craft market to raise funds

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Kacy’s Krew has put on four prior fundraisers, but the fifth is the first one in Fishers. event Tricia Trick-Eckert said the group moved the art and craft market to Fishers because her church, Cornerstone Lutheran Church, recently opened a third campus there.

City creates new program to aid families during spousal deployment

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com A new initiative launched by the City of Fishers made two famicover story lies feel as though they were more than just numbers.

Adrienne Hultgren and Megan Mack are like many U.S. Navy families who know what it’s like to have a deployed loved one. Adrienne and Megan live in Fishers, and when their husbands deployed to Djibouti, Africa, there was stress about how the women would handle life without the help of their spouses.

The Hometown Help for Heroes program is free for families of deployed military personnel.

Adrienne’s husband, Dan, left in October of 2015. Megan’s husband, Elliott, left in January 2016. The Mack family was the first recipient of Fishers’ new Hometown Help for Heroes program.

Immediately after Dan left, Fishers Dept. of Public Works staff began taking care of Megan’s yard. When winter arrived, staff members plowed her driveway at least once a week.

“They started taking care of our grass immediately, cutting it, and in wintertime they did snow removal, shoveled and plowed the driveway,” Megan said.

Adrienne’s family benefitted from the program shortly thereafter. The Macks and Hultgrens live in the Tanglewood neighborhood of Fishers.

Dept. of Public Works Senior Laborer Dwayne Garrity receives a list of homes on the Hometown Help for Heroes program and takes care of the labor once a week, sometimes hitting the homes twice.

For Dan and Elliott, knowing their families were being taken care of significantly eased their deployment stress.

“The mayor and then the director of public works, Eric Pethel, came up with this idea to do more than just tie a ribbon around a tree, so to speak,” Elliott said. “They wanted

to actually do something for those that were deployed. What substantial, actual physical thing can we do to help out these families who are shouldering the burden?

“As a military person, you hope and expect (friends and family) to back you up, but I never expected the city to do so. It was a pretty unique and amazing thing to occur here.”

“It was a great relief of burden from the cost, too. (It was going to be) $100 a week for upkeep (without Hometown Help for Heroes),” Dan said. “That was a nice perk, and then just knowing the wives didn’t have to make those phone calls and worry about that, it was going to be taken care of by the city.

And to have a city that cared about us that much to help out and do little things back here at home that I think a lot of time people take for granted, it adds up.”

Adrienne said that between the two homes, many appliances broke while the husbands were away. Although the families fixed the large problems, the Dept. of U.S. Navy Mission in Public Works was able to take the Djibouti, Africa worry of the little things away.

Lt. Cmdr. Elliott Hultgren and Cmdr. Dan Mack “They just took both served a year in Djibouti, Africa, for the U.S. the burden of our Navy. While there, the men completed training ongoing yardwork with partnering African nations, assisted with off our plates,” the African Union and more.

A tale of mice, hash browns and Walmart

o b s e r v ation Strong schools worth the investment

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker Spendthrift is one of those words, like military intelligence, that means something different than one might imagine. It does not indicate that one “spends thriftily” but, instead, that one is extravagant. If we are lucky, weekly paychecks will come – and go – with very little notice.

Certainly, we support the needs of good government and our fellow humans.

Yet, rarely do we dig deeper into our own monthly budgets to make others’ flow more easily. Rightly, we challenge tax increases and push for fiscal prudence when spending our hard-earned income, property and other assets. We demand thoughtful and strict management – not for our convenience or greed, but from a well-placed expectation of those elected and selected to work on our behalf.

So comes now, the new phenomena, in our home state, at least, of the school referendum. Some demand steep increases or threaten dire consequences. A district a few short miles to the north of here is already divesting itself of buildings, teachers and programs to stay afloat. But our own local schools are working to prove value as they hope that we taxpayers consider a reinvestment in their work – and their outcomes. Carmel Clay Schools, for example, is proposing a replacement for an expiring rate without increase.

Our citizenry is among the best-educated in the nation. Strong schools can ensure that we keep it that way. Supporting these referendums seems both affordable and essential. Spend with thrift, yes, but spend as necessary.

A return to civic engagement Editor, In the wake of the contentious primary and general elections, it seems that the gap between political parties in both substance and civility has never been wider.

In 2008, I had the opportunity to travel abroad and visit three European cities: Paris, Brussels and London. While navigating the London underground (subway), I noticed a saying on the train platform that states “Mind the Gap,” cautioning riders about the separation between the platform and the train. The sign serves as a warning for London’s travelers; we can use it as a guidepost for returning to civic engagement. We should be “minding the gap,” or differences, to better understand all sides of an argument.

Never in history have we had more ways to communicate. Yet ironically,

we don’t really talk to each other. As an elected official, some of my most gratifying conversations with residents have featured disagreements. Why? Because I love the opportunity to engage, persuade and learn. Being caught in an echo chamber and never hearing new ideas is dangerous, and frankly not very interesting.

Together we face serious challenges on national, state and local levels. The solutions will be found with more engagement, not less, and from people with diverse and wide-ranging backgrounds, experiences and skills both inside and outside the political arena.

We have to “mind the gap” and engage each other in substance, yet respectfully in style.

Eric Moeller, Fishers City Council Member

I don’t always shop outside of my neighborhood grocery store, but when I do, I prefer Walmart. There. I said it. I humor love the cheap stuff. I love the diversity of clientele and I love that there’s a strong possibility I’ll spot a mouse in cosmetics (true story). My husband Doo feels differently and won’t step foot in the retail giant unless forced to do so under threat of death. He cites shoddy products, horror movie fluorescent lighting and the fact that the sheer number of customers at any given time is in clear violation of the fire code. I think he’s a snob.

Recently, I had to go to Walmart twice on the same day, unusual for me as I live less than a mile from Meijer. My first run was to pick up invitations at the photo department. Doo agreed to drop me off, though he absolutely refused to go in (chicken!). Boy, did he miss out. In that short five minutes (well, more like 20), I saw beautiful Easter lilies for $3.98 (Meijer’s were $7 and Lowe’s $19.99!), a young couple having an extremely vocal argument over dog food and about 20 items I didn’t know I needed until I did. I had a fascinating conversation with the cashier over my preferred brand of sunscreen while enjoying the sweet, sweet smell of baking bread at the in-store Subway. For my final act of amazement, I found Doo in the parking lot in under three minutes.

Later, I returned to Walmart because Meijer, Kroger and Target were all out of shredded hash brown potatoes. I know! Bizarre.

Walmart didn’t have them, either, but I did make two new friends in the frozen vegetable aisle as we lamented the scarcity of spuds and wondered whether cubed-style might be a realistic substitute.

I’m a loyal Meijer customer, but I do love a good Walmart adventure.

Peace out.

Caving in on sleep Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Arshid Chowdhury has invented something called a sleep pod, a high-tech structure that can be seen in sevhumor eral airports around the nation. Crawl into the enclosure and you can catch 40 winks for around 20 bucks, or about 50 cents a wink.

Chowdhury’s pods have encountered some problems. Many customers have trouble nodding off while nesting. Some travelers just stare into space with their eyes wide open, something most people can already do at their place of employment and actually get paid for it.

Mr. Chowdhury also writes a blog, another fool-proof way to put people to sleep quickly. His newest entry just last week has an intriguing title: “My wife and I slept in a cave for 10 years.”

Apparently, AC and his wife bought a new home several years ago and discovered it had a windowless, soundproof den tucked away inside. The Chowdhurys then labeled this their sleep cave, although the police have since told the Chowdhurys that the former owners had called it their meth lab.

AC wanted to see what would happen if

the couple slept in a room that was pitch black and totally silent. Of course, they could have just slept in their own bedroom and pulled the shades, but that would have made their blog seem even less interesting.

The Chowdhurys have slept in complete darkness since 2007 but admit there are drawbacks. First, the couple has overslept for all nine jobs they’ve been fired from over the past 10 years. Plus, Mrs. Chowdhury was a morning person who used to gleefully bound out of bed when she awoke, bolting for the front door, eager to start her day. This is tough in a sleep cave. Neighbors had a lot of questions for Mr. Chowdhury about his wife’s frequent head injuries.

Two years ago they had a little baby boy who’s been keeping them awake at night.

He’s not frightened of the dark so much, but the bats are scaring the heck out of him.

2. Myth - Working with a credit-counseling agency is reported to credit bureaus. Truth - Seeking advice is not reported, but taking action based on that advice may affect your credit score.

3. Myth - A low credit score may stop you from getting a job. Truth - Employers may obtain your credit report but not your score. It is illegal to use credit scores to screen potential employees.

Get a lower mortgage rate — To get the lowest rate possible, try the following: 1. Get a second appraisal. Ask the lender for a copy of the appraiser’s report. It might be worth challenging the appraisal by paying for a second appraisal with the same lender if the lender is willing.

2. Do a “cash-in refinance.” Homeowners who have sufficient cash can pay down their mortgages to reach the required equity levels.

3. Refinance through the Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP). Visit MakingHomeAffordable.gov to see if you qualify.

While lying on your back in bed, exhale completely through the nose. Inhale a bit of air - just enough for a count of two or three seconds. Hold that briefly and, without exhaling, take another two or three seconds of breath. Repeat until lungs are full. Slowly exhale in the same manner, exhaling a little bit for two or three seconds, pausing with breath held for two or three seconds and continuing until your lungs are empty. Repeat several times until you feel relaxed.

“Dial ‘M’ for Murder” opens April 25

By Zach Dunkin Director James Still knew the look and feel he wanted for the Indiana play Repertory Theatre's seasonclosure “Dial ‘M’ for Murder” and challenged his set design team to the task. The artist-in-residence envisioned a production in which the characters felt as if they inhabited a lush Technicolor world of early '50s American cinema.

Inspired by Alfred Hitchcock's thriller, playwright Frederic Noll's “Dial ‘M’ for Murder” opens April 25 for a run through May 21 on the Mainstage. The suspenseful production reveals what happens when a murder plot goes wrong.

IRT's design team of Kate Sutton-Johnson (scene), Lindsey Jones (composer and sound), Michelle Habeck (lighting), Katherine Freer (projections), Jason Tuttle (sound) and Trace Dorman (costumes) used a color palette to convey character and place, relying on lighting and projections to evoke the

desired film noir qualities.

In an era of Dior’s New Look when women were excited to dress more extravagantly and colorfully after World War II, the team used the opportunity to convey the character of Margot’s wealth and polish.

“As a design team, we’ve worked carefully together to craft a world that feels very heightened and tense, as befitting the suspense of the play,” Dorman said. “It’s set in 1952. With Margot our only female character, it’s a great opportunity to contrast

the femininity of her character with the men who both threaten and protect her.”

In the musical landscape, Jones said it was about finding a world of romance and suspense that feels heightened but natural at the same time.

“There’s a style to movies from the early '50s that’s really unafraid of showing emotion, and the music really has to capture and support that uninhibited expression,” Jones said.

Pulling from Hitchcock’s canon of suspense films, while nodding to film noir’s distinctive graphic qualities, IRT places the action in an elegant, Hollywood-esque London apartment.

“The upper surround sits above the apartment, separate but echoing its architecture,” Sutton-Johnson said. “Projected images and Hitchcock-inspired close-ups will illuminate this surface, helping us drive the suspenseful and more intricate plot points of the story.”

CCP presents ‘Blood Brothers'

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Dr. Doug Peet has a memorable connection to “Blood Brothers.”

In the mid-1990s, Peet said he and his wife sat second row center theater in the Music Box Theatre in New York's Broadway to watch a marvelous production of the musical. The two brothers, who were separated at birth, were played by real life halfbrothers, David Cassidy and Shaun Cassidy. Petula Peet Clark performed as Mrs. Johnstone, the mother.

Peet, a Carmel dentist, is directing Carmel Community Players’ presentation of “Blood Brothers” on stage through May 7 at 14229 Clay Terrance Blvd., Suite 140, Carmel.

“We have a large orchestra that is creating magical music that is both happy and haunting,” Peet said. “I have a very talented cast and production staff. (Producer) Risa Krauter and I worked together when I directed ‘August: Osage County,’ (in 2015) and I worked with both (orchestra director)

Where’s Amy attended the Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre’s performance of “Superhero: The story of a man called Jesus” at the Tarkington Theatre. This outstanding masterpiece was inspiring, powerful and captivating. Brilliant and colorful costumes, music and dramatic lighting designs by Ryan Koharchik created a perfect blend to highlight the professional multi-talented and dedicated dancers. The house was filled with GHDT supporters and friends, which included former Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard, Winnie Ballard, Carmel city councilors Bruce Kimball and Ron Carter, Raju Chinthala and violinist Noelle Tretick Gosling. I was excited for the opportunity to see guest artist Liang Fu along with my favorite GHDT dancers Hannah Brown, Taylar Green, Abigail Lessaris, Eduardo Permuy, Brittney Richards and Erica Steward. “Superhero” made my Easter holiday complete, and I cannot stop thinking about this show.

Bravo and a well-deserved standing ovation to my brilliant and kind-hearted friend Gregory Hancock for bringing this magical production that highlights the real superhero of all time, who was a man called Jesus. I urge you to attend the company’s next production of “A Night in India,” where you will be mesmerized by GHDT music and dance.

Where’s Amy can’t wait to see you there. For more, visit gregoryhancockdancetheatre.org.

Blueprint for Improvement: Creating contemporary first-floor look Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions:

After

The goal was an updated kitchen with better flow and aesthetics and cosmetically update the family room and adjoining spaces.

1. In the kitchen, the design incorporated taller cabinets, creating more storage. New Cambria quartz countertops, new tile backsplash and new appliances were installed.

The island was enlarged to create more seating and storage. A microwave was added as well.

2. The dry bar was updated with new cabinets and countertops to create additional storage.

3. The living room fireplace was updated with a new, modern gas fireplace insert, tile surround and flanking bookshelves.

4. The powder bath now features a wallpapered accent wall that gives the space the style it was lacking.

5. New dark engineered hardwood flooring was installed throughout the main level.

Before Background Info: This 2004-built home in the Shelborne Park subdivision in Carmel was in need of several aesthetic updates and additional storage.

Before problems: Even though only a 13-year-old home, the owners wanted to update, add storage and create a more stylistic, modern look. The kitchen cabinets were outdated and the island shape and lack of storage created functional challenges. The adjacent living room fireplace and powder bath also were in need of an update.

Cardo Maximus in Apamea, Syria (Photo by Don Knebel)

Apamea threatened by war Commentary by Don Knebel An historic Roman city near Hama, Syria, is among the archaeological treasures threated by Syria’s continued travel civil war.

In 300 B.C., Seleucus Nicator, one of Alexander the Great’s generals, who had conquered much of the Middle East, established a city along the Orontes River named Apamea in honor of his wife. Apamea became an important military center in the Seleucid Empire, home to 500 war elephants that Seleucus had obtained in a trade with an Indian emperor. In 64 B.C., Pompey captured Apamea and annexed it to the Roman Empire. The Romans then erected a 20,000-seat theater, one of the largest in the empire. Mark Anthony and Cleopatra visited Apamea during their honeymoon in 37 B.C., when the city had a population of approximately 100,000. During the Jewish Revolt that began in 66 A.D., Apamea sheltered its Jewish residents from Roman soldiers.

After an earthquake destroyed much of Apamea in 115 A.D., Roman Emperor Trajan reconstructed the Cardo Maximus, a 1.2-mile-long main street lined by 1,200,

30-foot-high columns and intersected every 360 feet by side streets. The 68-foot-wide street was among the largest and most famous streets in the Roman Empire, passing temples, shops and baths. Some of the stone columns had unique spiral fluting along their entire length. In the sixth century, Byzantine Emperor Justinian repaired Apamea’s Cardo Maximus, adding walkways and replacing paving stones. A few years later, the Persians destroyed the city and partially rebuilt it. Apamea was demolished by an earthquake in 1152.

By 2010, approximately 400 columns along Apamea’s Cardo Maximus had been reconstructed, along with a few decorative arches marking the intersections. Some of the businesses lining the street, including a brothel, could be identified by stone signs.

Recent satellite images show that Apamea has been the victim of extensive and destructive wartime looting.

Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP. For the full column visit donknebel.com. You may contact him at news@currentzionsville.com.
