Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness held a mental health panel luncheon July 24 to proevent vide a report to the community on what Fishers is doing to address the issue. The panel consisted of Hamilton Southeastern Schools Assistant Supt. Mike Beresford, HSE Schools Mental Health Coordinator Brooke Lawson, Inspiring Transformations CEO Suzanne Clifford, Fishers Fire Dept. Chief Steve Orusa and Fadness.

To kick off the luncheon, Fadness shared what inspired his vision for increasing mental health awareness in the city and creating more avenues for those struggling.

“I was riding along with a police officer, and I ask a simple, innocent question that has led me on this journey for the last 2 1/2 years, and that question was, ‘What are the calls that concern you the most?’” Fadness said. “I thought (the officer) would say armed burglaries, car chases, domestic violence, but the gentleman said to me, immediate detentions. He said, ‘We go to these calls and these people are in such bad mental-health shape we think they are going

to harm themselves or someone else, and it’s a completely unpredictable scenario.’”

Fadness said he asked the officer how often immediate detentions occur, and he was told once every other shift. Last week, there were seven in the city.

“My natural curiosity led me to start talking to the police and fire chiefs and look into the numbers,” Fadness said. “The issue is real. If the community was to marshal collective resources toward this issue, what can we do and what should we do? I’ve been very fortunate and blessed to have a group of people in this effort.”

Included in the luncheon was an update from Beresford and Lawson on how HSE is handling students dealing with mental health issues. If a student were to be involved in an immediate detention through police or fire services, the school is notified to assist that student upon returning to school.

Other topics discussed were expanding paramedic training to include more on mental health in the future and encouraging families to find loved ones help sooner so they don’t require as many drastic efforts or resources when they receive the help they need.

ProWellness grand re-opening – ProWellness Chiropractic, 11876 Olio Rd., Suite 500, will celebrate its grand re-opening from 4 to 7 p.m. Aug. 11. This will be an event for the whole family. There will be live music, a bounce house and vendors from all around town.

GEIST Road construction began July 17 to replace a drainage culvert on Pendleton Pike between Carroll Road and 65th Street near Lawrence. The speed limit has been dropped to 35 mph. Drivers should expect narrow lanes.

Heading eastbound, the left lane will be closed, and heading westbound, the right lane will be closed. INDOT expects the road to resume normal operations in early October.

On I-69 between 116th Street in Fishers and Ind. 38 in Pendleton crews are completing nighttime work as they construct a bridge. Work is expected to continue through Oct. 31.

Paving work and traffic-signal installation is in progress on U.S. 36 near Garden Street in Fortville. Drivers should expect constricted road widths in this area.

116TH STREET AND HAZEL DELL PARKWAY: The City of Carmel has closed 116th Street and Hazel Dell Parkway for the construction of a roundabout. This closure is expected to last for 75 days. A construction barrier has been placed on the eastbound lane of 116th Street at Allisonville Road to warn

drivers of the upcoming construction. Questions and updates about this project should be directed to the City of Carmel at 317-571-2400.

136th STREET AND PRAIRIE BAPTIST ROAD: Hamilton County Highway Dept. will close the intersection of 136th Street and Prairie Baptist Road will be closed for approximately 60 days to allow for contractors to reconstruct the intersection.

Home, where the heart is Commentary by Michael VandenBerg They say home is where the heart is, and I believe that to be true. Jesus faith told his disciples that where their treasure was, there would their hearts be. He wanted them to know they should invest in the safe, secure, smart places where God protects and all of the fleeting things of this life could not destroy.

When I teach financial management, I teach students they should look very carefully at their return on investments, so as not to be surprised when things financially change. All good advice.

So, what do we do if we wish to find that place where life is full, secure and sweet? I recommend you look to the eternity of God as the place to invest. Everything around us is screaming for you to not deny yourself anything, never turn away from what you desire, and always be ready to pay any price to secure what you want. This has led us to a culture of self-indulged, “me” first, last and only group of people that continually looks out only for their own self-interest. We have become narcissistic

and spoiled by our pursuits. What we have not counted is the long-term cost of such a lifestyle.

The Bible says that all of this over-indulgence and selfishness leads to death. What God wants for you is a life that is more abundant, fuller, achieves more and serves others. He wants you to have all of what he designed you to have in the beginning and not one ounce less. He wants you to live life in the proper perspective that brings about not death but life and prosperity.

We need to once again become a people that are willing to delay gratification and strive for the immediate fulfillment and eternal rewards of a relationship with God. He wants our home to be with him and consequently, to have our hearts set on the things of God. I can tell you with these priorities life will look sweeter, even in the most difficult of times.

Rev. Michael VandenBerg is the pastor of Hope Community Church, a congregation of the Christian Reformed Church, and a community consultant for City in the Church Consulting. He and his wife Nancy have been Indiana residents for over 17 years and Indianapolis residents since 2008. He can be contacted at office@indyhopecrc.org.

Showcasing safety Lawrence public safety departments to host Community Safety Day Aug. 13

Each year, guests of the event get to see a live SWAT Team demonstration. (Submitted photos)

Nearly 500 people attend Community Safety Day each year.

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com Later this month, the City of Lawrence’s public safety departments will collaborate for the 17th year for its annual Community Safety Day. cover story “We started this event in 2000. The first year we had it at the small fire station (at 6477 Oaklandon Rd.), and we outgrew it within the first hour it was open,” Lawrence Fire Chief Dino Batalis said. “From then on, we moved it to 59th (Street) and Lee (Road).”

The event takes place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Fire Station 40, 9530 E. 59th St., and showcases many different aspects of public safety, including police, fire, 911 dispatch, the Explorers program and more.

Throughout the day, each group will take part in live demonstrations.

“What’s nice about this for police and fire, is we put everything in slow motion,” Batalis said. “We explain to the crowds before the demonstrations start that we’re slowing it down to see the mechanics of what’s being done.”

“The SWAT team will come out in full gear to demonstrate what they do. They set up a little fake family room and house floorplan,” Police Chief David Hofmann said.

“You’ll also be able to see SWAT weapons,” said LiAnn Wolfe, event organizer and Lawrence’s director of 911 dispatch. “During the demonstration, they basically show how they enter a home with the flashbangs and everything.”

Other demonstrations include K-9 officers, tasers, auto extrica-

tion, a medical helicopter and an aerial ladder rescue.

“The LifeLine helicopter flies in from the north,” Hofmann said.

“It takes a few minutes for them to land, and once they do, people can peek in and get up close. There will be an officer acting as a ‘bad guy’ who will have a bite sleeve on for the K-9 demonstration.

The K-9 officer will give commands and release the dog. Kids also will get to operate an actual fire hose that’s charged with water at a real, controlled fire.”

Wolfe said mostly local families attend the event each year. They often see people of all ages.

“We typically have anywhere from 400 to 500 people show up,” she said.

In addition to operating a fire hose, visitors can enjoy a bicycle safety course, where bicycle helmets will be given away all day, along with face painting, the Indiana Pacers fan van, McGruff the Crime Dog, a U.S. Army asset trailer, dunk tank, car smash, the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Dept. horse trailer and music by Tracey Cantrell, an LPD captain and DJ. A free hot dog lunch will be offered to all guests. Local businesses and organizations also will set up booths and tents for other giveaways.

Approximately 50 to 75 public safety officials – made up of police officers, firefighters, dispatchers, Explorers and the entire SWAT team – will be on-site, interacting with the public.

“It’s really a good day for the community organizations to get out there and for the citizens to see what police and fire do on a day-to-day basis,” Batalis said. “There are public safety officials there all day to interact with kids. There are very few events that encompass this many things going on that are free.”

WINGIN’ IT WITH FIRST RESPONDERS On June 30, the Lawrence police and fire departments planned to hold their annual “Wingin’ It With Our First Responders” event, a wing-eating contest where the two departments compete against each other.

But the event was rained out and will now take place on Community Safety Day, Aug 13.

The event will raise money for the Susan Jordan Legacy Fund and Lawrence Township Schools Foundation.

In its inaugural year, the event raised $1,258 for the fund, created in honor of the Amy Beverland Elementary School principal who died after a school bus jumped the curb in January 2016. This year’s donation check will be presented by Lawrence city officials at the Sept.

During the event, police and fire departments will face off with five-man teams representing each department, anchored by Police Chief David Hofmann and Fire Chief Dino Batalis.

Bring on retirement!

o b s e r v a tion Limiting the defensive line

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker Some days are perfect. The sun is shining. We awake refreshed before our alarm clocks roust us from our sublime slumber.

The day ahead is filled with anticipation and high expectations. And then, there are other days. The ones in which the rain falling is expected to change to ice – likely during our commute. The alarm failed to sound (or, more likely, we shut it off accidentally because of a restless night) and we are now already late for work.

We take them all, these contradictory days, in stride. What choice do we have?

Like a football team we gauge the nature of our opposition to plot our strategy. In some instances, we take an offensive stance. Running up the score, we expect to defeat weak resistance. But just as often, we must rely upon our defensive line. We dig in and cling to the earth, fighting for each inch as if they were yards. Do it we must; the game depends on our ability to stop the onslaught.

Yet, do we take the deportment too often? Would we be better if we ran the ball instead of burying it? Sure, it is OK to be defensive – sometimes it is the savviest move. But, it is not OK to feel perennially defensive. Human interaction requires that all parties engage and participate, each time, every time. When people imagine themselves under attack, they claim pardon from engagement. And, in the most severe and deplorable cases, they bully those around them into equal withdrawal.

Civil societies advance while dictatorships do not. Isn’t a constantly defensive posture a failed strategy?

REA D ER ’ S V I E W

Current easier to read Editor, A quick note of appreciation from a reader in Fishers. This could be real or imagined on my part, but it seems like the Current that came today is more readable, like the colors are more saturated or something. These 70-plus-yearold eyes appreciate that and hope it

continues.

I like the paper and look forward to reading each issue thoroughly, especially enjoying your feature articles and columnists (never miss Danielle Wilson and Dick Wolfsie).

Michael Bayman, Fishers

Anker’s physics off Editor, I think (columnist Terry Anker’s) article made a nice analogy, but it looks like your physics are slightly off. You said the falling body reaches the “attraction limit” of gravity. To me this implies the force of gravity goes away. Of course, in fact, gravity remains the same (almost)

and terminal velocity is reached when the force of friction with the air (“drag”) equals the force of gravity, so the NET force on the body is zero. No force, no acceleration.

Couldn’t resist writing - I’m an old (81-year-old) physicist!

Bud Moore, Fishers

While I was watching the Peyton Manning bit he did for the ESPY Awards about his new life in a retirement humor home, all I kept thinking was “Exactly.” Senior living facilities sound like a little slice of heaven. Yes, Medicare is still a couple of decades away for me, but AARP is less than five years out.

Happy Acres could be a reality just as my youngest graduates high school!

I’m serious, folks. Peyton jokes about early dinners, craft time and competitive shuffle board, but ask anyone who knows me well and they’ll tell you those have “Danielle’s Dream Come True” written all over them. And having someone else cook, clean and drive for me? In my book, that’s called “vacation,” people.

It’s my understanding that these places also offer super-fun, organized mall outings and game mornings (bingo!), 24-hour access to soft-serve ice cream (score!) and, the piece de resistance . . . monthly Matlock marathons! And I can basically do whatever my currently pacemaker-free heart desires.

I can stay in my room all day and read nothing but Nora Roberts. I can eat supper at 4 p.m. and then immediately go to bed. I can even swear repeatedly for no reason at all, just like an NFL player (right, Peyton?). And no one, absolutely no one, will judge me for it because I’m in a retirement home . . . that’s just what old fogies do!

I’ve already spoken with my husband Doo, and he fully supports me, especially if he meets an unfortunate early demise. So, Peyton, hang in there. I’ll see you in 2022, and we’ll grow old together!

Peace out.

Time in a bottle Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Our fridge gets a good once-over every month. We wipe off the shelves and throw out any food item that has a humor green slime. I’ve tossed out a lot of good guacamole based on this criterion.

In the back of the pantry, we found Greenie Hard Chews for dogs. The box said “best used” by August of ’16. But what could go wrong with them? I wondered. Would they turn greener, get harder, become even chewier? I was OK with that, and probably the dog would be, too — if we still had one.

Back in the closet went the Greenies.

There was a bottle of Bookbinder Cocktail Sauce for shrimp. It said: “Use by October 2014.” It looked fine, although I think shrimp sauce is supposed to be bright red, not black with maroon specks. It smelled better than the fresh shrimp that had been in our fridge for only 36 hours. Back it went.

We found some Orville Redenbacher Popcorn, and under Orville’s picture it said “Expires May 2005.” I put the jar back because I think that might have referred to Orville and not the popcorn.

A jar of tartar sauce had no expiration

date at all, but it did say “Famous since 1877.” I’m thinking this may have been a 100th anniversary edition of the product, so I got rid of it.

Finally, we threw away a bottle of Hidden Valley Ranch salad dressing. I think the name tells it all. It had hidden from us for 17 years.

In an effort to economize and be less wasteful, the Wolfsies decided to prepare a dinner out of food that probably should have been discarded: • Popeye Spinach (Best if used by December of ’13) • Artichoke hearts (Enjoy by March ’16) • Tomato soup (Use by April ’14) • StarKist Tuna (Put in toxic landfill after October 2010) We found a bottle of wine in the back of the closet. I immediately poured it down the drain.You can take a chance with a can of asparagus from 2011, but a bottle of Merlot from 2006 was just asking for trouble.

Applications are due Sept. 15. Questions can be directed to foundation@telamon.com.

Consider offering cash for homes – The national median price of a home sold in June hit $263,800, a new record, according to the National Association of Realtors. In addition, the average number of days a listing took to go under contract fell to 28, down from 34 a year ago. As a result, bidding wars lead to inflated offers and appraisals often don’t match the inflated sales price, causing financed offers to fall through. So cash buyers have a real advantage if a bidding war ensues.

Fisher, a former Ohio lieutenant governor who lives in Cleveland, gave a presentation last month at the all-county luncheon at Forum Conference & Events Center in Fishers that featured chamber of commerce groups from Westfield, Noblesville and OneZone (Carmel/Fishers).

“Our view if you are committed to the success of your city and you are doing something about it, you are the CEO, you are changemakers,” Fisher said. “What you did when you merge two chambers (OneZone), it was bold and innovative. It was ahead of your time as I travel this country and traveled to more than 50 cities the past two years. You deserve applause for what you have done. Why? Because collaboration is the new competition.”

“Don’t try to be Silicon Valley, try to be Carmel,” Fisher said. “Try to be Fishers, try to be Westfield, be who you are, but also try to find what makes you distinctive. What’s your distinctive DNA? It might be the Arts District. It might be Conner Prairie.”

Fisher said feelings are more important than words.

“You want people to feel good about themselves and feel like there is something special going on,” Fisher said. “It all forms an attitude.”

Breastfeeding and the new mom Commentary by Diana Garino, RN World Breastfeeding Week is Aug. 1-7. To celebrate mothers, babies and breastfeeding, Diana Garino, women’s health RN, childbirth and inpatient education coordinator at IU Health North Hospital, offers tips for new and expecting moms.

How can women prepare to breastfeed before giving birth?

One of the best things for expectant parents to do is take a breastfeeding class during pregnancy. In class, parents learn how the breast works, how to recognize baby’s hunger cues, how and when to nurse their baby, along with tips for positioning and latching.

Since newborn babies can’t say “Hey, mom, I’m hungry!� it’s important to watch the baby’s body language to know when to feed. Watch for signs like turning head side to side, sucking, hand movements toward face and smacking lips.

What advice would you give to expectant moms who want to breastfeed?

I recommend trying to breastfeed within the first hour of giving birth, and don’t hesitate to ask for help. A nurse or lacta-

tion specialist can check the baby’s latch and give guidance as needed. When the baby latches, it may be uncomfortable but it should not be painful.

It’s also helpful to keep baby in the hospital room as much as possible so you can nurse on demand. Remember to allow baby to lead when breastfeeding by watching for those hunger cues! Feeding the baby based on hunger cues helps promote a good milk supply.

Finally, wait to introduce pacifiers and bottles until breastfeeding is a wellestablished routine. The motion required to nurse is different than that required to suck on a pacifier or bottle, and you don’t want to cause any confusion.

What advice would you give to moms who aren’t having success right away?

Use your resources! Above all, be patient. Breastfeeding is a learned activity for both baby and mom.Â

Thousands of people have responded to the emergency call for blood and platelet donations issued by the health American Red Cross in early July, but there continues to be a critical summer blood shortage. Eligible donors of all types are urgently needed. As a special thank you, those who come out to give blood or platelets with the Red Cross through Aug. 31 will be emailed a $5 Target eGiftCard After issuing the emergency call, the Red Cross has experienced a 30 percent increase in blood donation appointments through mid-July. About half of the appointments were scheduled by donors using the free Blood Donor App or at redcrossblood. org. Despite this improvement, blood products are still being distributed to hospitals as fast as donations are coming in, so more donations are needed to meet patient needs and replenish the blood supply. “The blood supply is like a cellphone battery, it constantly needs recharging,� stated Rodney Wilson, communications manager of the Indiana-Ohio Blood Services

Region of the Red Cross. “We sincerely appreciate those who have responded to the call to help save lives and encourage those who haven’t to consider rolling up a sleeve and give the gift of life. It only takes about an hour but can mean a lifetime for patients.�

Nearly 61,000 fewer blood donations than needed were given through the Red Cross in May and June, prompting the emergency call for donations in early July. The shortfall was the equivalent of the Red Cross not receiving any blood donations for more than four days.

Phoenix rising: The art of the Jewish joke with Wolfsie Commentary by Dick Wolfsie On Aug. 18, I will be stepping onto the stage at the Phoenix Theatre - and out of my comfort zone. The Phoenix is one of several venues for this year’s IndyFringe humor Festival, part of an Indianapolis tradition that originated in 2005. Entertainers from all parts of the U.S. will offer hour-long acts in venues along the Mass Avenue corridor over an 11-day period, with more than 72 artists, giving in total more than 400 performances. There is something for everyone: cabaret, comedy, dance, drama, magic and music.

My performance is called “The Art of the Jewish Joke.” I have read or heard thousands of them, and while I have no idea where my keys or glasses are, I remember (and can repeat) just about all of them. When I buy books of Jewish humor, I read the first line of an anecdote, then I anticipate the last line, skipping to the end to confirm my prediction. I usually nail it, but I always go back and read the whole thing again, anyway. Why? Because just like “The Star-Spangled Banner,” there are lots of ways to “sing” it, and occasionally the new version is an improvement. Or, as many of my Jewish friends say when I tell one, “I’ve heard it already, and you’re telling it wrong.”

Humor is one way for Jews to stay connected to their

faith and traditions. Food works, too. Many Jews do not read Hebrew or speak Yiddish, although everyone knows at least some Yiddish words. If you don’t, you’re a meshuggana (look that up.

It’s a great one).

In my show, I’ll have the audience spin a wheel that contains categories of popular Jewish topics: food, money, temple politics, Dick Wolfsie will present his show, “The kvetching (look that Art of the Jewish Joke,” at 7:30 p.m., Aug. up, too), assimila18. (Submitted photo) tion and marriage.

Here’s a good one about Jewish mothers: A Jewish girl brings three boys home to meet her mother and just for fun asks her mother to pick the one she thinks

her daughter has chosen to marry. The mother questions them all.

“This one,” she says, pointing to the young man in the middle.

“How did you know?” asks the daughter.

“He’s the one I don’t like.”

You can’t stick a hole in a jelly doughnut and make it a bagel. Likewise, a real Jewish joke is about more than inserting a rabbi or a guy named Goldstein into a oneliner. Despite being “the chosen people,” Jews suffered for thousands of years. Maybe they got the worst of the deal — but they got the best of the argument by incorporating their predicaments into their humor. Why should I let you make fun of me, when I can do it better myself?

Many Jewish jokes do not end with a typical punch line, but with an observation or a commentary on life. And some are a little bit naughty: A Jewish widow knocks on the door of an elderly Jewish man next door. “Would you like super sex?” she asks.

“I’ll take the soup” (if you’re not laughing, you should say that one out loud).

Muslim, Christian, Jew and atheist alike can enjoy a good Jewish joke. And I’ve got a million of ’em. OK, maybe 2,000.

The show starts at 7:30 p.m., Aug. 18. For tickets, visit Indyfringe.org.

HSE graduate Jackson to lead the way in ‘Spider’s Web’

By Heather Collins • editorial@youarecurrent.com Emily Jackson has pursued acting since she was 7 years old. A 2005 Hamilton Southeastern High School graduate, Jackson joined the high school drama performance club and performed in “Macbeth Did It” and “Mr. Hobbs Vacation.” Now 31, Jackson will take the stage as the female lead in Agatha Christie’s “Spider’s Web” until Aug. 6 at the Center Stage Community Theater in Lebanon.

Jackson will play Clarissa HailshamBrown, a character Jackson describes as mischievous, dramatic and caring. In Jackson preparation for the show, Jackson has balanced her day job in the facilities department at Allied Solutions in Carmel with rehearsal four times a week.

Jackson’s father, Dave Jackson, also will perform in the show as Constable Jones. Jackson said she enjoys the process, inter-connectivity and support of the local community theater network.

“In the process of putting on a show you become so

close with everyone involved in the production,” she said.

“You might be strangers on Day 1, but by the end you’re as close as family. Together, we create something beautiful.”

Agatha Christie’s “Spider’s Web” offers the mysterious, hair-raising thrills of a traditional Agatha Christie play, but with a comedic twist. Award-winning director Jan Jamison, who has directed several community theater shows, including “Suite Surrender” at the Carmel Community Playhouse in February, assisted the cast in comedically portraying the twists and turns of the play. “(Jamison) does a wonderful job of helping us interpret the characters to make them human and to highlight the comedy of the script through our delivery of lines, body language and facial expressions,” Jackson said. “That humor balances well with the suspense of wondering, ‘Who done it?’ As always, Agatha Christie keeps you guessing until the end.”

Jackson will soon be preparing for her role at the dramaturge for the show “33 Variations” with Jamison in 2018.

Agatha Christie’s “Spider’s Web” will be performed at the Center Stage Community Theater, 604 Powell St., Lebanon.

Tickets are $15 for adults and $13 for seniors. For more, call 765-894-5587 or visit brownpapertickets.com and search: Spider’s Web.

Show pays tribute to Piaf

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Dance Kaleidoscope summer show will transport the audience to France.

“It’s like traveling back in time dance to this ideal Paris cafe,” said Paul Hansen, the contemporary dance company’s marketing director. “It’s a great way to feel you’ve had a little bit of international travel for a couple of hours while having a stay-cation.”

Dance Kaleidoscope will present PIAF Plus at The Tarkington at The Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. The performances will be at 8 p.m. Aug. 5 and 2:30 p.m. Aug. 6.

“It’s one of my personal favorites. It’s all French music,” Hansen said.

The first act is “Frère Jacques,” with the music of Jacques Brel.

“He was this nightclub composer, so all these songs are gritty,” Hansen said. “It’s gritty, clever and inspiring. David Hochoy, the company’s choreographer and artistic director, does such a good job matching the wit and gives the dancers these beautiful and athletic things to do. They match the songs so well. It feels like Paris in the 1950s or ‘60s with the costumes they wear. It’s gorgeous and uplifting and carries you into intermission. Act 2 is phenomenal because it’s all music from Edith Piaf.”

Piaf was a French cabaret singer, who

died in 1963 at age 47. She was known as “The Little Sparrow.”

“You don’t have to understand the words of her songs to feel the passion in her singing,” Hansen said. “The dancers certainly embody the passion of her music. You can see her music live through our dancers."

Hansen said Hochoy has cast many of the company’s younger dancers in solo and prime spots.

“It gives them the opportunity to experience performing lead roles and grow their technique and show what they are made of, so that’s great for the dancers,” Hansen said.

“It’s great for David to see what these dancers can do, and it’s fantastic for audiences.”

Blueprint for Improvement: Kitchen transformation at Geist Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions: The goal was to design a highly functional, stylish kitchen the family could enjoy for many years to come.

1. The biggest obstacle was the load-bearing column placement. By adding a new beam, the kitchen was able to be reconfigured and the island straightened out to provide efficient space.

2. New semi-custom cabinets were designed and installed, with a light, neutral paint on the perimeter and a contrasting navy paint finish for the island. The glass accent cabinets contained curved mullions to mimic the arched doorways.

3. The quartz countertops provide a durable, low-maintenance material option, and the backsplash tiles complement the warm flooring and navy blue island.

4. New decorative glass pendants, under cabinet lighting, and wood flooring provide refined touches of warmth and detail.

Before Background Info: The layout of this kitchen in the Cambridge neighborhood on Geist Reservoir was limited. Cooking was a challenge for the family. The subdued material palette also needed to be freshened up to bring life into this dated kitchen.

After

Before problems: The kitchen included the original outdated wedge-shaped island, oak cabinets and tile flooring with wide grout lines. The two columns on the island seemed to visually close off this open space to the adjacent dining and hearth rooms.

Israels’ The Negev: Moses and the Wilderness Rock Commentary by Don Knebel The southern half of modern Israel is an arid area known today as the Negev. The Negev includes the Wilderness of Zin, a desolate and rocky region that sheds light on the well-known story of Moses obtaining water travel from a rock.

According to the Bible, the Wilderness of Zin formed the southern boundary of the land that God had promised to the Israelites as Moses led them out of Egypt.

Before God allowed the Israelites to enter their Promised Land, they spent about 40 years wandering in the wilderness, much of the time near an area called Kadesh or Kadesh Barnea. Although Josephus, the first century Jewish historian, believed Kadesh Barnea was located in Petra, most scholars today believe Kadesh Barnea was on the southern end of the Wilderness of Zin, near the current border between Israel and Egypt.

The Book of Numbers says that while the Israelites were at Kadesh Barnea, God commanded Moses to speak to a rock to obtain water for his parched followers and their animals. When Moses struck the rock twice with his staff and water poured out, God told Moses that he would never enter the Promised Land, and the Israelites continued their wandering until Moses died. A visit to the Negev provides an explanation for God’s punishment. The Wilderness of Zin includes steep walls comprising porous rock capable of absorbing water, which remains sealed in the rock by a lime-

stone crust that forms over time. Seepage from cracks in the crust allows plants to grow in the rocky area. Bedouins who have lived in the Wilderness of Zin have long known that if they strike the rock and shatter the crust, trapped water will flow. Moses’ sin was apparently using a desert trick when God had asked him to accept a miracle.

write it? Is it The Millers or The Miller’s?

To make your last name plural, never add an apostrophe. Just don’t do it. The Millers went to the concert is correct. Adding an apostrophe to your last name makes it possessive: Did you see The Millers’ cool new van?

If your last name ends with s, z, x, ch or sh, simply add es to make it plural: Season’s Greetings from The Foxes. If your last name ends in any other letter (including y), simply add an s: The Honeycutts are incredibly photogenic.

So, if you’re considering adding your family’s name on the back of your luxury yacht, write The Millers.
