Community North gets new president

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com For Kathleen R. Krusie, taking the position as Community Health Network North Regional president just seemed the natural career hospital progression.

“I was interested in getting back to the Midwest and Community is an exceptional system,” said Krusie, who is originally from Iowa. “I just felt as though its values were very closely aligned with my own personal values so I really thought it would be a good fit.”

Krusie started on Aug. 17, replacKrusie ing Jason Fahrlander, who was promoted to president of acute care services for the network.

“Kathleen is a proven healthcare leader, who can help guide the future of Community’s fast-growing North Region,” Fahrlander stated. “As the network continues its focus on delivering exceptional care and the best possible patient experience, she brings a successful background in those areas to our North campus.”

Krusie, who has more than 25 years of health care experience, left St. Joseph Regional Health Center in Bryan/College Station, Texas, where she served as chief executive officer since 2010. While at St. Joseph, Krusie, 55, led major quality initiatives to improve patient satisfaction scores and implemented cost reduction and productivity processes that positively impacted the organization, according to the Community North release.

Krusie said Community North is a larger system that St. Joseph.

“The (Community) network has been very successful so I really want to put my skills to work to help the network to continue to be successful,” Krusie said.

“There is a lot of growth in that part of the community so really helping to be responsive to what the needs are and continuing to emphasize patient experience.

Krusie had three visits during the interview and recruitment process.

“I met with several dozen people and was very impressed with the leadership that was I was able to speak with and get to know,” Krusie said. “There also was an opportunity to get to know the community as well. Indianapolis has a lot to offer so we’re excited about the move.”

Krusie and her husband Steve have not chosen a place to live yet.

“We like to be fairly close to the Community North Regional so we’re looking at houses in that part of town,” Krusie said.

Prior to her position at St. Joseph Regional Health Center, Krusie, from Monticello, Iowa, held several leadership roles in 21 years with Mercy Medical Center in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. She holds her master’s degree from the University of Iowa in hospital and health administration.

Krusie has been involved in a number of professional organizations, including the American College of Healthcare Executives, the University of Iowa Department of Health Management & Policy Alumni Board and the MHA Professional Advisory Committee at Texas A&M Health Science Center’s School of Public Health.

Car company moves to Fortville

By James Feichtner • james@youarecurrent.com An Indianapolis-based internet business that buys and sells collector business cars is moving its showroom to downtown Fortville.

Significant Cars is setting up shop in a historic building once used as a gas station at 225 E Broadway St. in Fortville on Highway 67. The company will host a grand opening on Aug. 15 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

It’s a smaller location than the building the company used on West 16th Street, but founder and owner Shawn Miller said that it’s a “natural progression.”

“I’m quite excited about the Petroliana side of this building,” Miller said in a press release. “I think we can make this building into something special that highlights the historic nature of the automobile and associated support activities that have literally changed the landscape of America over the past 100 years.”

Significant Cars specializes in the buying, selling and brokering classic cars constructed before the Second World War. Miller said the move will be convenient for him, and ultimately convenient for his customers.

“This location is very close to my home at

Geist as well, which will make my life so much easier,” Miller said.

“It’s much more fun to drive old cars on quiet country roads than in downtown Indy, which isn’t very old car friendly with all the stop and go, and everyone else being in such a hurry all the time,” he added.

Miller has spent the last 34 years developing the Chatham Arch and Mass Ave districts of Indianapolis. He’s restored seven Victorian homes and three commercial buildings, and he’s the founder of the Mass Ave Merchants Association.

“I would like to thank the officials in Fortville and Hancock County for assisting us in making this move,” Miller said. “We are truly excited to be a part of this growing Historic community.”

Most vivid HCLA memory: “The poverty exercise was very impactful for me. I have never forgotten that experience. Each participant assumed an identity, was given play money with bills to pay and activities to pursue. I was struck at the time by how vividly the exercise brought to life the choices some people are forced to make every day. Often, none of the choices were good.”

Most impactful connection made through HCLA—and why: “I met [County Commissioner] Christine Altman through HCLA. I admired her leadership skills, sense of humor and sense of community. I found her to be an inspiring role model. We became good friends, and years later she married my husband and me.”

Where’s Amy? ‘Where’s Amy?’ is a photo column by Amy Pauszek, a society girl and film producer with Ever Film Productions. She may be reached at aepaws1@comcast.net.

State Fair J.T. McCallister of Fishers Reynolds Farm Equipment Sales Force was ready to teach, serve and inform farm goers about the various farm equipment and merchandise available at the Mac Reynolds Barn. Reynolds played a big part of the Indiana State Fair this year by organizing the first ‘Light Up the Night’ spectacular tractor parade. A huge hit for all to see in the Indiana State Fair grandstands.

“Where’s Amy?” loves the friendly and first-rate customer service at Reynolds. (Photos by Amy Pauszek) “Where’s Amy?” … Having a ball at the Indiana State Fair opening day. The day was jammed packed and kicked off with a giant hot air balloon launch. Other highlights included a free concert by the Indigo Girls and the first ever ‘Light Up the Night’ parade sponsored by Reynolds Farm Equipment. There were huge elephant ears, fried Velvet Oreo’s and mouthwatering milk shakes from the famous round Dairy Barn. I opted for the delicious standard pork sandwich, corn on the cob and fried green tomatoes – Yep, I said fried … Yikes, it’s not an easy place to go when counting calories. It was fun to see the farm animals and learn some facts from the educational exhibits throughout the buildings and halls. I even went on a Midway ride just for the thrill of it, and trust me, it was a hoot. The Indiana State Fair is a staple in our Indiana community and culture.

I would encourage you to be adventurous and take the fair train from Fishers.

It’s easy and something different for all ages to experience. Be sure to check out The Mac Reynolds Barn where you can grab some cool John Deere merchandise and climb aboard a huge tractor as big as a house. Ok, so I am joking about the house part but, trust me – the 2015 Indiana State Fair is celebrating the ‘Year of the Farmer’ and it’s pretty darn cool.

“Where’s Amy?” … hanging out at the Indiana State Fair which runs until Aug. 23. You still have time to attend the fair, and I hope to see you there! For more info visit www.indianastatefair.com.

The ‘Light Up the Night’ parade was led by a tractor donated to the Northern Indiana Historical Power Asscociation by Ruth and Jack Jarnecke. The crowd rose to their feet and placed their hands over their hearts as our American Flag rolled on by.

The Indigo Girls gave a free concert to hundreds of fans and was a true fairgoers treat. The fans cheered with sheer delight as they played their break out hit “Power of Two.” “Where’s Amy?” had a chance to talk to these old soul music songwriter/singers who said they said they loved to share their music, enjoyed their Indiana tour and thought our Indiana State Fair was the best.

The stage was rocking and The Indigo Girls proved they are stronger than ever.

Catering caterers Local residents follow food passion to profession

By James Feichtner • james@youarecurrent.com It is often said that passion is the key to success in one’s occupation. For Geist resident Rancover story dal Klein, creating great food was his passion.

“I’ve always had a passion for food, always enjoyed serving people; making them happy, especially if I was able to do it with my food,” Randal said.

But Randal’s first runaround in the food industry didn’t instill much passion. In fact, it actually was giving him quite the rough ride. As a previous managing partner and employee at other food venues, long hours and strenuous workdays left him looking for other options.

“I just said, enough is enough,” Randal said. “I was working 80 hours a week for somebody else and having to cancel vacations.”

Randal explored other options such as trying his hand in his own insurance agency, but in the end his passion for food kept surfacing.

“My passion was always food,” Randal said. “It always came back to food. I would make enough food for twenty people every Sunday just because I enjoyed cooking.”

Within his circle of friends and family, Randal was compli-

mented and praised by his cooking skills.

“We always heard, ‘You should have your own restaurant, you should start your own,’” Randal’s wife Rachel explained.

“And I would always say, ‘I don’t want to do it. Been there, done that,’” Randal said. “But once again it came back to my passion. Finally I said, ‘Let’s do this passion that I’ve got.’”

So with his wife’s help and family and friends’ encouragement, Randal decided to start his own food business, Indy Mobile Catering as well as his food truck, the $5 Buck Truck.

“We decided we were going to do a small food truck and a catering business,” Randal explained. “My goal when I first started out was I wanted to cater to businesses, because I only wanted to work Monday through Friday, banker hours, and be able to do what I wanted to do.”

Operating out of an office-turned-kitchen off of 96th Street, Randal is making quite a name for himself in the catering business.

Relying on word of mouth through friends and family, news spread quickly about the quality of Randal’s culinary

work. Soon he was serving events and office buildings around the Fishers and Geist area.

“They’ve heard great feedback about us from these events because we’re there, we’re on time and we don’t run out of food, which is huge for a lot of these events,” Rachel said.

What sets the $5 Buck Truck apart from the other trucks is its speed of service and low pricing without sacrificing quality of food.

“Our goal is home-style food fast,” Randal said. “The difference between our truck and a lot of other food trucks is they bring their food and they put it on their truck and they prepare it then and there. So you actually have a wait. We make almost all of our food from scratch at our shop, put it on the truck so that way I can just serve it.”

For the catering aspect, the Kleins take on the role of “catering caterers”, allowing them to cater to the needs of their customers while meeting customer budgets.

“We can do anything depending on our crowd,” Rachel said.

“We can kind of maneuver our menu around, which is a nice feature. And people can hire us and put whatever they want on our menu.

Indy Mobile Catering is available to accommodate any event, from basic back yard get-togethers to higher end parties and weddings.

“We’ve done weddings where I’ve done filet mignon sliders and portabella mushrooms; higher end things where I smoke salmon,” Randall said.

2 from GOP have a clue

We’ve been rather critical of the Republican presidential candidates, and we’ve spent a lot of time thinking about the future of the two major parties. It dawns on us that perhaps the Republicans are actually going through a process in which they may be attempting to reinvent the party and platform. Say what you will about Donald Trump, but he’s acknowledging – perhaps not so eloquently at times – that he’s for real change; his lack of eloquence doesn’t bother us. We remember that eloquent politician back in 2008 that won the presidency, and look what it got us.

Change? To be clear, we believe only Trump and, maybe, Carly Fiorina, are getting it; we would never go so far as to claim the Republican Party has a clue. That party has been taken over by liberals, hence the huge financial support of Jeb Bush. But the group that clearly doesn’t get it is the Democratic Party.

Look at that pitiful field. An accomplishmentfree wife of a former president; a socialist; and a former governor no one thinks about. Same failed policies and ideas from the left. So pitiful is the field that there’s actually a movement to get Vice President Joe Biden in it. As pitiful as the Republicans are, at least they can claim their inclusion of a change agent or two. As for the Democrats, it would be the third term of Obama.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

No pain: Rite of passage?

Commentary by Terry Anker The aphorisms of life make it easy for us to communicate complex statements in a sentence or two. Mantras, bumper stickers and t-shirts all serve to distill complex ideas down to single, easily digestible thoughts. Often they express truisms so overwhelmingly accurate that they are almost redundant. Yet we employ them to remind us that patterns of behavior can guide our actions into unknown or uncomfortable situations. Song writers and poets use them to effectively in framing thorny questions and challenging the basic suppositions of human interaction. “People are people” said British band Depeche Mode in 1984. Quite right. But they push the obvious to ask if we are so much alike, how is it that “you and I get along so awfully?” How can we be entirely similar and totally different in the same instant?

Life is good – is my personal favorite.

The truism reminds me that as long as we

live, we have all options open to us. We can change. We can learn. We can engage. Or, not. The phrase – encourages us by noting that even a bad day is still filled with opportunity. One might assume that its counterpoint must be death is bad? Perhaps. Or, is it just another step in life. The three little words have stuck with me for decades.

While enjoying a vintage whiskey with a close friend one evening earlier this summer, he shared his chosen expression for good living – “no pain, no pain.” The take on the more common “no pain, no gain” echoed days later. Can we choose to live a life without pain? Can we simply let it pass through us without lament? Or, should we experience the pain as an earned right-of-passage?

Q U O T E O F T HE WEE K Givers have to set limits because takers rarely do.

– Henry Ford

I’ve been belting out “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” tunes for a solid hour.

Today especially is monumental because for the first time ever, all four humor of our children were able to clamber up onto that beautiful yellow bus. After 10 years, 10 months, and 15 days, “I’ve got a golden ticket.”

Making this moment even brighter was the dark backdrop of summer. “Oompa, loompa, oompa-di-do. I’ve got an easy puzzle for you. What do you get when summer gets old? Ten fights a day and many tears to behold! Boredom set in as soon as early June came. I know exactly what’s to blame!

Ah-ha. No school structure or routine! La la la la la la la!”

The first two weeks were nice, but evolved into the usual inconsistent schedules, lousy weather and friends out of town while we weren’t. Inevitably, these led to several Veruca Salt incidents, a whole herd of Mike TV impersonations, and one controversial Augustus Glute fiasco which I will not discuss here. I was often so frazzled that I just gave in. They tune in; I check out. That’s poor parenting at its finest.

I don’t know about your kids, but mine fair much better when they have routine.

Camp would solve the problem nicely if it weren’t for those pesky payments they’re so insistent upon. Twenty-five bucks per day per child? Forgetaboutit! So we turned to the next best thing­— grandparents. One set luckily has a pool and a lake cottage, and the other a guilty conscience. “Who can make the sunrise and sprinkle it with dew? Cover it with chocolate and a miracle or two?” The Grandparents can!

No camps or grandparents? Cheer up, Charlie. “Oompa, loompa, oompa-di-do. I’ve got another puzzle for you. What do you get when August rolls in? Four kids in school and a mom in heav-en! Welcome back math, homework, reading and tests. Can you remember which is best? Yes, Ma’am! They’re all equally fabulous! La la la la la la la! Oompa, loompa, oompa-di-da. Find a school bus and you will go far. We can live in happiness too.

Like the [jump for joy] kids with [clap your hands] year-round school do!” Peace out.

IU Health North Hospital Carmel Artomobilia gears up

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

IU Health North Hospital Carmel Artomobilia has come a long way from its modest beginnings in 2008. event John Leonard, the event director and the founder, said the city of Carmel had a desire to bring people in the Arts & Design District in 2008 so they decided to put on a car show in June.

“It was massively disorganized because we only probably only six or seven weeks to put it together,” Leonard said. “We had 50 cars and I don’t know how many people we had but we didn’t have that many people. But it struck a little bit of a chord. So fast forward seven years, we’ll have 403 cars and probably have 10,000 to 12,000 people that come from (all over the Indianapolis area). We’ll have car exhibitors from as far as Canada, Georgia, Cleveland and Chicago.”

The seventh annual Carmel Artomobilia will be held from noon to 5 p.m. on Aug. 29 in the Carmel Arts & Design District. Leonard, 47, said the purpose is to exhibit cars people might not see every day, promote the car hobby and the Arts & Design District.

Leonard, a life-long car enthusiast, grew up in Brownsburg. He lived in Southern California before moving to Carmel in 2001. He has attended the Monterrey (Calif.) Car Week for 24

years.

There are two groups, Judged Class cars, such as classic, European cars, Muscle cars, GT sports cars, which are positioned on Main Street. The other group is in Car Corral and those cars are positioned on Range Line Road.

“Our car show is a beauty contest,” Leonard said. “We’re celebrating the art and design of the automobile. So we put them all together and try to decide which one is the best looking.”

The Car Corral is made up of auto enthusi-

asts so there will be owners from the Porsche Club, BMW and DeLorean Club.

There will be 12 to 15 artists from the Hoosier Salon painting cars in different locations.

There will be stages on the east and west end of Main Street with entertainment showcasing area talent from noon until 3 p.m.

Carmel musician Blair Clark and his Fun Factor Band will perform on the main stage next to the Indiana Design Center, starting at 1 p.m. The awards ceremony will be at 3:30 p.m.

For more information on the IU Health North Hospital Carmel Artomobilia, visit carmelartomobilia.com.

Fuelicious benefits charity A charity event, Fuelicious: A Celebration of Wheels + Wishes, will be held at Lucas estate in Carmel from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Aug. 28.

The event supports the Indiana Children’s Wish Fund.

“We’re going to feature 50 hand-selected cars,” Leonard said. “We’re going to pair the cars. One of the neat pairings is a 1916 Detroit electric car and we’re going to pair that with brand Tesla. There will be 25 paired cars and the idea is to show the cars in a way you don’t normally see them.”

Tickets and tables are available.

Your guide to dining and activities for the fall season

Coming to the Beef & Boards stage: ‘South Pacific’

By Joseph Knoop • news@geistcurrent.com

There is perhaps no time more appropriate for a repeat viewing of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “South Pacific” performance than the modern American cultural climate, if you ask director Liz Stark.

“It’s a classical piece without being classical,” Stark said. “It’s something I always found odd growing up watching it. ‘Why would people have issue with the race of somebody they might be interested in?’ It still feels very relevant in today’s society.”

“South Pacific” tells the story of two separate but similar romances during World War II. The first tells of an American nurse stationed in the South Pacific who falls in love with a French expatriate but struggles to accept his mixed-race children. The second portrays a romance between a U.S. Lieutenant and a young Tonkinese woman, both fearful for the consequences of their mixed-race relationship.

“South Pacific” will run for a total of 49 performances from Aug. 20 to Oct. 4 at the Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre at 9301 Michigan Rd, Indianapolis. Free parking is available.

Tickets range from $40 to $65, and include an in-house dinner buffet and drinks. To make

reservations, call 872-9664. For a full show schedule, visit beefandboards.com.

Rodgers and Hammerstein both intended for “South Pacific” to act as a progressive message on racism. “South Pacific” originally premiered in 1949, just barely off the heels of war, to immense critical claim. Despite the progressive message, a number of theatres still enforced segregated seating.

Stark, who is married to an African American, drew from her own experiences with discriminatory behavior.

“I would think that most of society is OK

Dixon, Guthrie to perform Aug. 23 news@geistcurrent.com The Warehouse of Carmel will welcome Gabe Dixon back to The Warehouse with Noah Guthrie at 6 p.m., Aug. 23, at 254 1st concert Avenue SW, Carmel.

ence back in December with his spirited performance and charismatDixon Guthrie ic stage presence.

with [interracial relationships],” Stark said.

“But we all have Facebook accounts. I announced my engagement on Facebook and I got a message from a gentleman from Texas that I didn’t even know, saying something along the lines of ‘Please don’t ruin your bloodline.’ That’s just awful that you would still get people out there who still feel that way or still have a problem with that sort of thing nowadays.”

Stark points to the song “You’ve Got to be Carefully Taught” as one of the musical’s most meaningful numbers, emphasizing a character’s assertion that you have to be taught to hate people who aren’t like yourself.

“You can be taught the littlest thing when

you’re [young] and somehow it’s embedded in your brain as you grow up,” Stark said.

For actor Jeff Stockberger (as Luther Billis), it’s all about loyalty between the roles they play.

“When things go kind of crazy, everyone is looking out for each other. Even the ones you wouldn’t expect,” Stockberger said. “We have a short period of time to work together and seem like we really know each other. It’s very much the same idea as what’s happening [in South Pacific.]”

Deb Wims is also slated to reprise her role as main lead Nellie Forbush. Newcomer Robert Wilde is slated to play the French plantation owner Emile de Becque.

Mack Lovin’ chocolate chip dessert at Mackenzie River Pizza.

First up is the Brew-Homemade Peanut Butter Pie at Scotty’s Brewhouse. After having tried many of Scotty’s delicious desserts, this one is really tops. The peanut butter pie contains a crunchy graham cracker crust, creamy peanut butter pie filling, whipped cream, and of course, chocolate syrup.

Next up is the Mack Lovin’ at Mackenzie River Pizza. This great dessert consists of warm chocolate chip cookies, served with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce. It is served in a hot skillet and the cookies literally melt in your mouth. This one is pretty big so I recommend getting one for the whole table.

St. George festival back Sept. 19

By Joseph Knoop • news@geistcurrent.com The world of Byzantine heritage, faith and culture is set to draw in attendees at this September’s St. George Fesreligion tival at St. George’s Orthodox Christian Church in Fishers.

St. George Church will bring Byzantine ethnic food, live music, a children’s carnival, a silent auction and more during the festival.

Above all the attractions, the multicultural aspect of the festival and church is what parishioner David Sumner feels stands out the most.

“Our church was established by immigrants from Syria in 1926,” Sumner said. “We have three main purposes for the festival. One is outreach to the community, and introduce the church.”

Sumner added that other purposes for the festival are to introduce the community to Byzantine food, acquaint attendees with the significant architecture, and fundraise for the church’s bills.

Reverend Nabil Hanna, who immigrated to America with his family in the late 1960’s, echoes the importance of these multicultural roots.

Tours will be made available for all interest-

How to control your cravings Commentary by Cory Black Experiencing strong food cravings that seem near impossible to control? Cravings that are out of control are nutrition typically the result of spiking and subsequently crashing blood sugar levels and will wreck havoc with your diet.

When you regularly have large swings in blood sugar, two things happen. Your body will go into a storage mode turning sugar into more body fat while your energy levels plummet. As well your body increases hunger signals causing you to want to eat more than you really need, sometimes only a short time after your last snack.

Spice up food or drinks with cinnamon.

Research has shown that this spice has an effect on increasing insulin sensitivity when added to diets in the amounts of one to six grams to regulate blood sugar levels.

Adding whey protein to your diet. Protein naturally stabilizes blood glucose levels and

is a healthy snack that will induce satiety and have the effect of reducing the swings that cause cravings.

The supplement chromium polynicotinate.

Chromium is an essential trace element our body needs for optimum health and is effective in increasing insulin sensitivity in our bodies. Our bodies have a difficult time absorbing minerals on their own, and chromium is combined with niacin (Vitamin B3) to form chromium polynicotinate, significantly boosting its absorption.

Don’t let cravings keep getting the best of you. Start working on managing your blood sugar and over time you’ll regain control.

As always, consult with your doctor before adding any new supplement to your diet, particularly if taking medications.

Blueprint for improvement: Open-porch feel Before

AFTER SOLUTIONS: 1. The new design makes sure the new porch doesn’t look like an add on 2. More usable outdoor space with seating for entertainment 3. New design keeps the porch feeling open.

4. Homeowner loves the new built-in cedar bench area. It’s great for lounging and reading and the cedar really adds a touch of warmth.

5. Loves being able to put lanterns and décor above the bench.

6. Worked with an existing retaining wall to create built-in cedar bench which also helped hide the transition from the house to the new covered porch 7. Had to use a mix of pavers and stamped concrete because of the columns but they ended up working well together 8. Client didn’t want it to look like an add on so it was a challenge to work with the existing windows and roof to make this happen, the carpenters did a great job

After

Aid vs. aide Commentary by Jordan Fischer Question: “I have a co-worker who regularly uses ‘aid’ and ‘aide’ interchangeably, and it drives me crazy. grammar guy Can you address this topic?”

Answer: I not only can, but will, dear reader!

“Aid” and “aide” are only a single letter apart, they sound the same and they have related meanings – so confusing them doesn’t seem such an extraordinary thing.

Both words come to English by way of French, although “aid” traces its roots back to the Latin verb ajduvare — to be of use, be profitable, or to help, aid, encourage. “Aide” is actually the more modern of the two: it originated in the 1770s as aide-de-campe. A quick look at our friend the dictionary tells us an aide-de-campe was a military officer assigned to be an assistant to a senior officer. Thanks, Mr. Dictionary!

While that’s interesting and all (if you hap-

pen to be a huge grammar nerd), it doesn’t help us learn to use them without a bit of boiling down. So let’s get boiling.

The number one thing to remember when distinguishing between these two words is that an “aide” is a person. So if you’re referring to a helpful someone, call them an “aide.”

“Aid,” on the other hand, can be either a noun or a verb. As a noun, “aid” refers to help as an abstract object (ex. I was able to enjoy the musical thanks to my hearing aid.). As a verb, “aid” is the action of helping (ex. Calling Crime Stoppers may aid the police in catching criminals.).

And … that’s it. Keep this one simple and you won’t have any more problems with it.

That’s all for now, folks!

Full employment at Amber Fort

Commentary by Don Knebel

Visitors to Amber (or Amer) Fort, about seven miles from Jaipur, can see the magnificent palace of a sixteenth-century travel maharaja. They can also see how 21st century India is attempting to keep all its citizens employed.

Maharaja Man Singh I was a Hindu who became an important general under Akbar, the religiously tolerant Mughal leader. In 1592, Singh began building Amber Fort as a fortified palace on a hill outside Amber, the capital of the area he ruled. The complex was expanded by his grandson, Jai Singh I, and became the largest fort in India.

Today’s visitors can ride an elephant up the road to the entrance of the sandstone and marble fort. The designs inside combine Hindu and Mughal elements. The mosaic-covered Ganesh Pol, a three-story entrance to the living quarters of the Maharaja and his harem, honors Ganesa, the elephant-headed god of new beginnings. The interior walls of the Sheesh Mahal (Mirror Palace) are covered with convex mirrors designed to shimmer in candlelight. An important temple honors Shila Devi, a Hindu goddess.

The floor of the main courtyard of Amber

Teacher of the Month!

ATTENTION, STUDENTS!

Send a 100-word essay (along with your name, address and phone number) about why your teacher should win the Market District/Current in Geist honor, to teacher@youarecurrent.com.

The winning teacher will receive a gift from Market District, and your classroom will be treated to goodies from Market District.

The deadline for nominations is Sept. 11.

Amber Fort, near Jaipur, India (Photo by Don Knebel)

Fort is covered with a mixture of water and cow dung called “gobar.” The flooring must be occasionally replaced, a job usually reserved for women. The women, all colorfully dressed, carry the paste-like gobar on their heads and spread it thinly on the floor. Other women, some with small children in tow, sit in a row behind the freshly applied gobar, tamping it with long paddles until it hardens and they can move forward for the next batch. The task could be done more efficiently with machines, but providing work for India’s citizens may

require that such inefficiencies be ignored.

Amber Fort is a UNESCO World Heritage site. A popular backdrop for Bollywood movies, it has become Jaipur’s favorite tourist destination.
