TherAplay mourns loss of Fishers therapist

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Jen Grillo lived for two things: helping children with special needs reach their full potential and enjoying time with her IN MEMORIAM horse, Chance.

A weekend devoted to both turned out to be her last. The morning after accepting an award for her work from the Indiana Physical Therapy Association, she died in a car accident on the way to be with Chance during an appointment with a veterinarian.

Grillo, 45, was a Fishers physical therapist assistant at Children’s TherAplay, a Carmel outpatient rehabilitation clinic for children with special needs. Her sudden death Nov. 12 sent shockwaves through the nonprofit as coworkers and clients heard the news.

“She didn’t have children of her own, but our children at TherAplay were her kids. She loved them. She was their cheerleader and a bright spot in their life,” said Teresa Keathley, TherAplay clinic team leader and physical therapist.

“She worked at TherAplay for 14 years, so she was just a legacy here.”

On Nov. 14, many families impacted by Grillo brought cards, flowers and photographs to TherAplay to honor her memory.

“It’s a beautiful tribute,” said Shannon Wade, TherAplay marketing programs manager. “It’s breathtaking.”

The outpouring of support continued throughout the day on the TherAplay Facebook page, as current and former TherAplay clients shared memories of Grillo.

“Shortly after birth, experts told us our son may never walk. And whenever I remember that, I always think of Jen with Bailey around 2 years old. She was able to get him to stand on his

horse as they went around the stable,” wrote Ryan Forbes of Carmel. “Fourteen years old now, Bailey walks with minimal issues. Such a good therapist and a better person, I'll always remember her as someone who truly cared about our son.”

TherAplay invited members of the community to visit the facility last month for a celebration of Grillo’s life. Approximately 300 guests donned their favorite boots, blue jeans and flannel as they shared memories of Grillo, as she was a big supporter of TherAplay’s annual Hoe-Down event.

“Jen loved the Hoe-Down. It resonated with her,” Keathley said. “She would not want us showing up in black and being all somber. We thought we would wear our boots and our plaid and do this in a style that would make her so

happy.”

Grillo’s funeral was held later in her home state of Illinois. The family has asked that in lieu of flowers donations be made to TherAplay.

the accident The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office responded to a two-vehicle crash at 8 a.m. Nov. 12 at Ind. 32 and Gray Road. Deputies determined a 2014 GMC Sierra was travelling east on Ind. 32 and disregarded a red traffic light, colliding into a 2011 Honda Accord driven by Jen Grillo travelling north in the intersection. The driver of the GMC Sierra, John D. Miller, 68, of Westfield said the sun glared into his eyes and he was unable to see the traffic light color and the car in the intersection. Grillo was pronounced dead at the scene.

Pint Cycle offers holiday tours

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Beer lovers will have a chance to pedal through Christmas lights in Fishers as the Pint Cycle opens up its first year of drinks holiday tours running through Dec. 22.

The 16-person bike will take participants to Four Day Ray Brewing and Brixx in Fishers for a chance to enjoy specialty holiday drinks as well as cruising through the lights in the Municipal Complex.

“FDR is launching a Snow Shed Winter Ale that passengers will have access to, and we are working with Brixx on developing a Pint Cycle cocktail for the month of December reflective of cold wintery times, like a peppermint-based drink or hot toddy or something along those lines,” co-owner Chris Hutchinson said.

The holiday tour is only available 6 to 8 p.m. and is $415 for the whole bike or $30 per person.

“We worked with the City of Fishers pending weather and pending their ability to clear streets and sidewalks, etc.,” Hutchinson said.

“The tours are dependent on weather, but we got access to go up on sidewalks and cruise through lights in the Municipal area. Instead of cruising around them (on the streets), we

cruise through them.”

Hutchinson said although the tour is outdoors during winter months, pedalling the bike keeps participants warm. He encourages riders to wear warm clothes. The Pint Cycle opened for its first tour in June.

“With Four Day Ray not opening until later, the uniqueness of our tour probably took a little bit of a hit, but now they’re open,” Hutchinson said. “We will still have it running through the end of the year with the December holiday lights tour concept. We feel pretty good about ending the year and starting next spring.”

My Dental Care staffers refurbish a Free Little Library

By Renee Larr • news@currentinfishers.com My Dental Care in Fishers is celebrating and promoting literacy by opening a Free Little Library. The international books concept began in 2009 when Todd Bol of Hudson, Wis., built a model of a one-room schoolhouse as a tribute to his mother, a teacher who loved to read.

He filled it with books and put it in his front yard. Neighbors and friends would come by to take a book and leave a book. The idea spread quickly, and there are now more than 50,000 little libraries worldwide.

“We had actually wanted to do a book exchange in the office here. We were trying to determine how we were going to set that up. We’re all readers here,” Continuing Care Coordinator Cheryl O’Bold said. “We talk about books with our patients.

MDC did its research and decided to get started.

“We built a little one, but it was so small and unrecognizable no one knew it was there.

Then an old newsstand was donated to us.

Fishers Marching Band reaches state elite level for first time

By Renee Larr • news@currentinfishers.com For the first time in 10 years, the Fishers Marching Band reached the elite level of the Indiana State School Music Asevent sociation competition. FMB placed sixth out of 10 bands. FMB is the first school in Hamilton Southeastern School District to make it to ISSMA. “It was an all-day performance at Lucas Oil Stadium. Schools are divided by their school size. You’re talking several thousand parents and kids at this event,” Props and Equipment Manager Brian Brosmer said. “Getting that first call to get into state was amazing. There is a lot of hard work by these kids. I think the directors knew there was a good chance this year because it’s been a special group as a whole. There is a feeling of professionalism from the kids. Even though our band is only 10 years old, I think there is a lot of push to compete with a lot of these more established bands.

The band was pleased to have the support of the school district and alumni.

“It’s a great confidence boost for these kids. Last year, we just barely missed it,” Brosmer said. “I think the upperclassmen set this as a goal for this year, and the younger kids latched on and agreed. I think the first year the marching band had around 60 kids, and now we’re up to 220, so it’s just great for this program. To have the support of school administration and school board behind us, it just made us strong. The principal of the high school was there greeting the kids as they ran out of the tunnel onto the field.”

Conner Prairie by Candlelight returns this month

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Despite nearing the end of 2016, Conner Prairie’s characters in Prairietown are stuck in time on Dec. 24, 1836 as they walk event by candlelight.

Upcoming Prairietown performances will take place Dec. 9, Dec. 10, Dec. 16 and Dec. 17. Walks begin at 6 p.m. and continue every 12 minutes until 9 p.m. Tours last 90 minutes.

“When people come through Prairietown, the characters they meet are all in that moment in time of Dec. 24, 1836, and they meet all these different people Hughes who have a different perspective on how Christmas and Dec. 25 were looked at and celebrated or not,” said Catherine Hughes, director of interpretation and evaluation. “It depended on who you were at that time and what tradition you were bringing to Indiana. Some of our characters are from upstate New York, so they know about Washington Irving and the knickerbocker tradition. They’re following those ideas.”

Conner Prairie by Candlelight costs $16 for

adults or $14 for members, and $13 for youth or $11 for members.

There will be other characters in 1836 Prairietown who don’t celebrate Christmas at all and educate attendees on other traditions, such as Chanukah.

“This year we have a new character we are

introducing who is bringing in an entirely different perspective, and that is a woman who represents the history of the Roberts Settlement,” Hughes said. “This woman is going to be at the schoolhouse because she is intent on finding out how the schoolhouse is set up so she can go back to the Roberts Settlement and be part of setting up their first school.”

The program is recommended for children ages 7 or older due to the set schedule of the tour.

“Candlelight is really for older kids,” Hughes said. “Our Holiday Adventures takes place during the day and is really for our family audience because you can pick and choose who you want to meet and how long you

want to stay.”

Conner Prairie by Candlelight has been a winter program for more than 30 years. Registration is required and may be made at connerprairie.org or by calling 317-776-6000.

Spreading Respect Woman with Down syndrome speaks to local schools, executive director promotes love

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com If there’s one thing Fishers mom Laura Druetzler loves most about Down Syndrome Indiana, it’s the Dads Appreciating Down Syndrome group that her husband Chaz joined when she cover story was pregnant with their son Luke, now 3.

“My husband loves the D.A.D.S. meetings,” she said. “When I was pregnant with (Luke), we found out he had Down syndrome. (Chaz) went to a meeting before (Luke) was born, and it was kind of a lifeline for him. Everybody there just said congratulations, and that’s what he needed at that point. He saw they were just normal families, and at first you feel like you’re the only one out there and it helps to see that the families, they’re all the same.”

Down Syndrome Indiana has been an Indianapolis-based nonprofit since 1996, and it has more initiatives than the D.A.D.S. program. Executive Director Lisa Wells, Fishers, travels to local elementary schools with Alissa Kahl, a 26-year-old with Down syndrome.

Kahl, also of Fishers, speaks to students about the importance of not using the R-word and about spreading respect.

“Basically (I speak) about just being aware of your friends, you know,

like having respect for your friends with Down syndrome because they need to be respected, too,” she said. “I want the R-word banned, and make it about respect instead, because when they hear the R-word, it makes them feel like they’re less of a person.”

Kahl has spoken at Lantern Road Elementary School and Hamilton Heights Elementary School, and she recently applied to speak to the Arc of Indiana, which aids adults with disabilities with learning, living and working in local communities.

“I just think that when children learn the importance of respect at a young age, it really helps shape their future views,” Wells said. “I think it’s really comforting for parents to meet with Alissa because they will know it’s going to be OK, and their child has a bright future and can be like Alissa.”

Wells has served as the executive director since 2008, and she has been with Down Syndrome Indiana since 2006.

F R O M THE right

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Don’t ditch the college That the United States is not a direct democracy where decisions are decided by popular vote is a dilemma for Democrats who are unhinged over Donald Trump’s Electoral College win. The drive for recounts is under way. Besides the left’s recount temper tantrum, Republican Electoral College members across the U.S. report harassment and threats from disgruntled Clinton supporters in a last-ditch effort to put their candidate, Hillary Clinton, who should be in the big house, in the White House.

One report says a young Michigan elector, Mike Banerian, received a message “containing a death wish” and another, “a death threat” in which someone threatened they’d “put a bullet” in his mouth. Banerian said he’s been called “a hateful bigot” and said, “people talk about shoving a gun in my mouth and blowing my brains out” - if he abides by Michigan law requiring electors to vote for Trump. Democrat leadership would be wise to detach itself from these whack jobs. These despotic dimwits don’t give a whit that America’s founders created the Electoral College to prevent that kind of mob-rule democracy, which will happen if a few big cities and states always control the outcome. Given all the talk about ditching the Electoral College, fair representation is the last thing on the minds of those who didn’t mind it at all when polls predicted a Clinton electoral landslide. Truth is, if they really cared about fairness, they’d ditch the Super Delegates system, which was rigged for Hillary when it robbed Bernie Sanders early on. That’s why we need the Electoral College, which serves to prevent voting fraud in certain areas from tainting a whole election.

The truth is Commentary by Terry Anker Does anyone of us hold the patent on truth? Lo, these many centuries we humans have gone forth and multiplied. Perhaps we are the most successful higher creature to ever inhabit this blue rock. We are uniquely suited to work in groups. And in doing so, we fight significantly above our weight class. Among the elements required to this interaction are communication, intelligence, and likely most important, trust. We are required to believe in our compadres – to rely upon their commitment to us and the cause at hand. If we fail to have faith in their dedication, we are far less inclined to meet the challenge and keep our part. So truth, as an essential component of trust, is necessarily an essential component of human flourishing.

Truth, one might say, is sacred. Then, how do we identify it? It is simple enough when fact can be independently measured.

Pure water boils at sea level when it reaches 212 degrees Fahrenheit. We can all find

comfort in the elegant proof of this certainty. But much of what we call fact may more accurately be identified as perspective.

From where we sit, we honestly call out our read on a set of data but cannot hope to definitively call it universal truth.

The truth is that truth may be a function of social context and our own bias rather than a measurable scientific standard. If we cannot find a common starting point, can we hope to find our way to a common truth? Diversity is good. But in pursuing it, do we necessarily overlook the value of communal experience? Can we find shared truth without shared understanding? Who knows? Yet, if we hope to benefit from mutual trust, we know that finding and pursuing mutual truth is a prerequisite.

Q U O TE O F THE W EEK “Since we cannot change reality, let us change the eyes which see reality.”

– Nikos Kazantzakis

When my husband and I were first married, holidays, particularly Christmas, were a struggle. We both come humor from large families with very specific rituals and traditions.

I grew up with Scotch pines, Christmas Eve skits, and Santa’s gifts unwrapped.

Doo remembers Fraser firs, reading “The Night Before Christmas” the night before Christmas and receiving one “Santa setout.” Initially, the only thing we had in common were the big, multi-colored lights that emitted dangerously high levels of heat. It was a start, and we survived our first few Decembers without counseling.

But when we began having kids, things intensified. Where would we spend Christmas? Whose traditions would we follow?

At the heart of the matter, whose family was better? And even after 20 years, we are still having to tweak our Wilson-Morris melding of holiday cheer (though I contend that live theater is far better than a book reading!).

Take for instance the tinsel battle. I grew up with tinsel. I clearly remember my parents fighting over the stuff, mom clumping it on the branches just to be done with the whole tree-trimming mess, and dad, following behind her, barking, “You can’t just throw it on, Patty! You have to lay it carefully, strand by strand!” I truly believe Christmas trees are naked without tinsel.

Doo, unfortunately, did not experience the magic of tinsel in his house, and when I suggested it for our first tree together, he scoffed at the idea. So we compromised.

Every other year would be a tinsel year.

2016? Tinsel! And yet Doo behaved like a child when I broke it out last week and instructed everyone on its proper handling and application (no clumping, one strand per branch. Don’t screw it up!). “Well, the tree looked good a minute ago,” he declared. Really? Are we not passed this Yuletide pettiness?

No, we are not. But that’s the thing about marriage. It really doesn’t matter how long you’ve been together. Compromise will always play a leading role. And if I have to sacrifice “Mommie Dearest” reenactments, then Doo must learn to embrace tinsel, in all its sparkly beauty. Peace out.

Just another country pastor Commentary by Mike Colaw As much as I loved my education, both undergraduate and graduate school, that's not really where religion I learned to be a pastor.

I look at my traditional education as theological training, not the place I learned to pastor. I learned to pastor by watching my dad, Pastor Joe. When people think of a pastor today they often think of one of two people - the whitecollared single guy or the Jesus rock star presenting the gospel like a flashy 80’s concert. Both get smoke. The former calls it incense, the latter calls it haze. I actually like both. However, as you move out of the big city and head into small communities, there is another type of pastor that becomes more prominent. They don’t make much money, wear hipster clothes or have Twitter accounts. They are … well, normal. They wear clothes from Walmart and drive used cars.

My dad is that type of pastor, and my knowledge of what it means to be a pastor is heavily influenced by him. He loves his people, he loves the community.

I have many memories of him compassionately praying early Sunday morning at the altar for people by name. I visited the hospital with him more times than I can count. He wasn’t on mission to be famous, but to participate in life with people. To him, being a pastor looks less like a shrewd CEO and more like a loving spiritual counselor. To him, what makes church great isn’t as much the quality of the rock show, but the health of the family. Dad loves knowing people and people love knowing dad. If you were to ask him why it’s worth it, he would simply say something like this: “I’m just trying to love people like Jesus would.” Today, I get to be a pastor. The truth is I am still learning. I’m not sure I have figured it out, but I know this: as I grow older I want to be a pastor like my dad. Loving Jesus, loving people, loving the community.

Porpoiseful gift Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Sometimes my friends disappoint me. Bob won’t take me to the airport at night (something about cataracts. Oh, humor please). Pat won’t feed our cat when we go away for the weekend (yes, Angel has bitten her, but no stitches were required … either time) and Cathy won’t water our plants (sure, philodendron makes her windpipe contract, but what are friends for?).

The need for dependable friends was made clear when I was down in the basement recently and found an old box filled with expired coupons, unused gift cards and this certificate: Congratulations, you’ve won! Feed the dolphins at the Indianapolis Zoo, Four people (Expiration: December 30, 2016).

I think I bought it at Zoo Fest, an annual gala where all the local eateries showcase their fares on the grounds of the park while you graze. I used to be a celebrity judge, but they stopped asking me about 12 years ago because I pigged out on so many cocktail shrimp at the first St. Elmo booth that I had no appetite (or working taste buds) for the next 30 restaurants whose food I was so supposed to sample.

If I wanted to use this offer, I really needed to invite three friends soon.

“Hi, Rob, it’s Dick Wolfsie. Say, I’m trying to get a group of people together to feed some dolphins …”

“Gee, Dick, only you, in landlocked Indiana, could find homeless, hungry dolphins.”

“These are not homeless, hungry dolphins. These are well-fed, happy dolphins.”

“Then you need to find a more deserving charity. Aren’t we saving whales anymore? Or bald eagles?”

“I bought this at Zoo Fest for $300.”

“Yeah, I was there, too. I got the limo ride for forty bucks. No problems finding friends to come along.”

One more try.

“Mikki, how would you like to feed some dolphins with me?”

“Dick, I get the feeling that this request requires holding dead fish.”

“Yes, I think it does.”

Click.

The next time I go to one of these fundraisers, I’ll buy something extravagant like a weekend cabin in Vail over a weekend. But I won’t be able to go.

Who would water the plants and feed the cat?

With the holiday season upon us, we all could use a quick reminder about reaching for the “bad stuff” during idle time or diet otherwise. Here are 10 strategies to help decrease cravings: 1. Make the decision. You have to decide if you want to gradually decrease the bad sugars/carbohydrates or quit cold turkey. After a month, you will experience fewer cravings.

2. Watch your sugar level. Items with a lot of carbohydrates, or sugar, cause your blood sugar to rise and fall fast.

Eat high-protein meals to regulate your sugar level and feel full longer.

3. Sugary beverages: Don’t! These are full of carbohydrates and sugar, and diet drinks have been shown to increase cravings because artificial sweeteners are 600 times sweeter than table sugar.

Water, please.

4. Substitute. If you’re craving something, choose a healthier alternative instead, such as a protein bar or tea.

5. Distract. If you’re feeling the munchies have arrived, want to stress eat or eat out of boredom, try other activities

instead. Immediately.

6. Question yourself! If you find yourself looking in the kitchen, ask yourself, “Am I actually hungry?” You may really be bored, stressed, anxious or in need of movement.

7. Organize. It’s really this simple: Organize your fridge and pantry so you see healthy options first.

8. Eat mindfully. We eat fast and often while in the middle of another task, which leads to eating more. Only focusing on eating helps you realize when you feel/sense being full.

9. Control your environment. Eat a high-protein filling breakfast so it will be easier to avoid temptation at work.

10. Sleep. When you don’t get enough sleep, the hormone cortisol becomes abnormal and increases hunger. Try banning electronics in the bedroom and instead read or bathe before bedtime.

Knowing the best way to manage childhood bacterial infections can be challenging for parents. Antibiotic stewardship initiakids tives resulting from concerns about widespread antibiotic resistance have changed the way many bacterial infections are treated in both children and adults.

Such stewardship practices involve allowing minor bacterial infections to run their course and treating only the most serious infections with antibiotics to help these medicines maintain their effectiveness in the future.

Less than 30 years ago, children died or were severely impaired from meningitis, one of the most severe bacterial infections.

Fortunately today, this disease can be easily prevented by following a routine vaccination schedule, and if necessary, treated with strong medications.

Pneumonia and bacterial urinary tract infections are conditions that require antibiotics.

Prescription antibiotics also are needed for some minor bacterial infections, such as strep throat and impetigo. If untreated, these infections may have serious consequences.

In healthy children, infections like sinusitis

and ear infections may go away within a few days without antibiotics. Bacterial conjunctivitis (pink eye), which accounts for less than 50 percent of pink eye cases, may not require antibiotics, depending on the severity of symptoms. Allowing minor infections like these to resolve on their own strengthens the body’s immune system. It’s also important to remember that antibiotics are not effective in treating viral infections, such as the common cold, flu, cough and sore throat.

Although it’s natural for parents to want to minimize their child’s discomfort and enable quick healing, it’s best to let your child’s doctor take the lead in determining if and when prescribing an antibiotic is necessary. The most important things parents can do to help keep children healthy are to instill good handwashing habits and ensure children receive recommended vaccinations. Prevention is key, and it starts at home.

Where’s Amy attends Indianapolis Opera’s ‘The Barber of Seville’ at The Tarkington

“The Barber of Seville” opera artists Michael Kelly, Deborah Domanski and Ben Robinson performing live on stage at the Tarkington Theatre.

Where’s Amy was treated to an unforgettable experience thanks to the Indianapolis Opera’s General Director Kevin Patterson and Director of Marketing and Communications Jill Vandegriff, both of Carmel. The Tarkington was packed with guests, and it is safe to say that everyone enjoyed the famous nonstop, funny and fast-action performance of “The Barber of Seville.” I sat in awe listening to beautifully composed music and the sheer thrill of attending another professional live opera. It was incredible to go back stage and see the vibrant, detailed costumes up close and have the opportunity to photograph several of the artists and creative team members. If you have never been to the Indianapolis Opera, I urge you to grab your family and friends to attend. It’s truly magical. Where’s Amy can’t wait to see you in March at “The Jewel Box.” For more, visit indyopera.org.

Director of Marketing and Communications Jill Vandegriff (Carmel) and Indianapolis Opera artist Megan Moore (Indianapolis) backstage at the Tarkington Theatre.

Susan Boilek Smith is enthusiastically embracing her role in Civic Theatre’s “Disney’s Beauty and the Beast.” theater “It’s the imagination, the creativity, the beautiful music, the story is wonderful,” she said of the musical’s allure. “It’s a fabulous cast. Everyone is perfect in their roles.”

Smith will appear as the Enchanted Wardrobe in the performances Dec. 9 through Jan. Smith 1 at the Tarkington in Carmel.

“The Wardrobe is a hoot because it’s a small role, but she is so loud and so silly,” Smith said. “It’s very playful. I get to sing opera; you never get to see that very often.”

Smith, who moved to Carmel in 1995, has been in the Civic Theatre’s Wicked Witch of the West for “The Wizard of Oz” for the last four productions during a course of nearly 20 years.

“I love working with Civic. It’s a fabulous theatre and it’s quite an asset to Carmel,” she said.

“Second, I love working with (director) Ron Morgan. Every time I get a chance to, I do.”

Smith, a certified public accountant, is the finance director for the Phoenix Theatre. Along with Civic, she also has performed at Beef and Boards and Footlite Musicals.

“I’ve been an active theater person for many years and a big supporter of the arts,” she said.

Alex Smith, another Carmel resident, is playing LeFou, his first speaking role in a musical. He was in the ensemble for the musical “Young Frankenstein” at Civic earlier this fall. Before that, the 2005 Carmel High School graduate hadn’t been in a musical in approximately six years, when he was in the ensemble for “The Wedding Singer” at Footlite Musicals.

“I love getting to act as LeFou,” he said. “He’s such a goofy character, and he’s very animated. I try to bring as much energy into the role as possible. I have three nieces and a nephew who will be coming to see the show, so my number one goal is to be able to make them, and hopefully everyone in the audience, smile and laugh.”

The performances are at 7 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, 2 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. For more, visit civictheatre.org.

IBC founding Artistic Director Alyona Yakovleva-Randall said Khozashvili was impressed with Julia last year.

Julia and Morgan encourage each other to improve.

“When we dance together, it’s not a competition. We just inspire each other to do better,” Julia said.

Blueprint for Improvement: Basement theater in Carmel Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions:

After

The goal for this basement was to maximize the efficiency of the under-utilized rooms, creating a functional and beautiful space for the family.

1. The main area of the basement was converted into a theater room. A platform was created to give raised seating, creating a true theater feel while maintaining the inviting, casual look of the basement.

2. A seating wall was created in the theater room with a bar ledge so the family and guests could enjoy their bar while watching a movie. Slate tile on the wall mixed with the luxury vinyl flooring provide an overall visual warmth.

3. A barn door divides the dedicated game room and theater. This allows the homeowners to open up and connect the two rooms, or close it off while not in use. The game room was created by combining the unused bedroom and bonus room.

4. The casual seating area of the basement was updated with a new fireplace and built-ins to tie the entire rustic aesthetic together.

Before Background Info: These homeowners in the Village of West Clay in Carmel had a basement filled with miscellaneous exercise equipment and unused bedroom space. They were looking for a space that fit all of their functional needs while still looking beautiful, bright and updated.

Before problems: The basement was mostly unused space and was not an enjoyable place for the family to gather and make memories. The unneeded bedroom and bonus room were essentially wasted space, and the exercise equipment needed a dedicated space to be hidden away.

Taipei’s Longshan Temple Commentary by Don Knebel The Longshan Temple in Taipei, Taiwan, is a favorite destination for students seeking help as they face important examinations. The power of the temple is said to be travel demonstrated by the survival of its most sacred possession.

In 1738, Han immigrants from the mainland built a Buddhist temple in the Manka District of Taipei. They named the temple after one they had left behind and dedicated it to the Bodhisattva of Compassion, known to Chinese Buddhists as Guan-Yin, usually portrayed as female, and to Tibetan Buddhists as Avalokitesvara, usually portrayed as male. As people with different religious beliefs and traditions came to Taipei, images of other gods and goddesses, some from Taoism and some from Chinese folk religions, were added to the temple. Today, the Longshan Temple includes representations of about 100 deities, including Guan-Yu, a Han general many worship as the god of war. A pamphlet handed out at the temple says this spiritual diversity “shows the tolerant mentality of the Chinese people in

their religious life.”

The multitude of deities represented in the Longshan Temple means there is one for virtually all of life’s milestones, from sea voyages and crucial tests to marriages and child births.

Before any of these events, residents of Taipei go to Longshan Temple, where they pray to the god likely to be of most help. They offer up smoldering incense in golden urns featuring images of “fools holding up the sky.”

Earthquakes and typhoons have repeatedly damaged the Longshan Temple, which was completely rebuilt in 1919. Allied aircraft bombed it during World War II. Despite the devastation of the structures around it, the ornate representation of Bodhisattva Guan-Yin has survived, largely intact. Temple supporters attribute this to the efficacy of Longshan Temple. Students who visit the temple before passing their exams agree.

One of those days?

Help is just around the corner.

One easy way to pick up tiny broken glass shards is to cover the area with a slice of bread and press down lightly. The spongy surface of the bread will pick even tiny pieces of glass, clearing the area safely.

Dispatches Wrapping gifts for kids – Kids don’t care about elaborately wrapped gifts and they tear into packages too fast to even notice.

To save time and labels at Christmas, wrap each child’s gifts in a specific themed paper and repeat each year. For example, one child always gets snowman paper and another always gets Santa paper. This way everyone can tell at a glance who gets each gift.

Christmas decorating tips • To fix dings or chips in ornaments, use gold leaf detailing to create a design over the chip.

• Spread Christmas trees through the house by trimming branches from the large Christmas tree, decorate and place in jars.

• Decorate taper candles by spray painting the bottom half in metallic gold paint.
