Affidavit: Marcum pocketed money since 2014

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com The probable cause affidavit released by the Hamilton Co. Prosecutor’s office, shows that Brandi Marcum – the Noblesville Police Dept. employee arrested April 14 for stealing crime parking ticket payments – admitted to police that she had been committing the crime on multiple occasions since “late 2014.”

An investigation that began March 21 was initiated after a routine audit of records showed money missing from parking ticket fines, which led them to Marcum, 38, Atlanta, Ind., a civilian employee of NPD since 1997. Marcum was later terminated by NPD Police Chief Kevin Jowitt.

NPD Detective Tim Hendricks’, a 17-year veteran of the department, statement in the affidavit said NPD Captain Nick Campbell had “been running reports to determine the magnitude of potential theft.”

“Captain Campbell informed me that he had been obtaining the trash from the office space of (Marcum),” Hendricks stated. “Campbell stated that by doing this, he has been able to recover the parking ticket envelopes and crossreference them with the original parking ticket violation entries from the computer. In doing so, Captain Campbell had notice that several tickets had either been voided each day or had not been entered into the computer at all …

Brandi Marcum surrendered to police April 14.

(Source: Hamilton Co. Jail)

Between the dates of 3/21/2015 and 4/5/2015, 38 tickets were recovered from the trash can from Marcum’s work space that were either voided, not entered or were still showing unpaid in the computer. In each instance, the computer tracking for the voided entries showed Marcum as the individual making the entry.”

Later in the affidavit, Hendricks stated after being fired by Chief Jowitt, Marcum signed a Miranda Waiver form to discuss the case with NPD Captain Mark Cruea without an attorney.

“During the interview with Captain Cruea, Marcum initially denied any wrongdoing and said she has never taken any money,” Hendricks stated. “After further discussion, Marcum admitted to ‘voiding’ parking tickets that had actually been paid and pocketing the money. Marcum

told Captain Cruea that she thinks she has been stealing money since ‘late 2014’ ... Marcum said she did not know how often she had stolen or how much money she had stolen, but believes that it could be around $1,000.”

The statement by Hendricks says between March 21 and April 6, Marcum stole $520 from parking ticket fines.

Investigators from the NPD’s Criminal Investigations Division petitioned for and were subsequently granted two arrest warrants for Marcum, who surrendered to authorities at approximately 10 a.m., April 14.

Marcum was booked into the Hamilton Co. Jail based on the charges of one count of official misconduct, a level 6 felony, and one count of theft, an A misdemeanor.

A statement released by Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear shed light on why Marcum’s alleged crime may not have been caught earlier.

“When Noblesville became designated as a Second Class City (Jan. 1, 2016), the controller’s office began the process of auditing all municipal finances and procedures involving cash transactions,” Ditslear stated. “As part of their findings, the city is reviewing and implementing new safeguards with regards to the handling of money to prevent such misconduct in the future.”

An initial hearing for the case is set for 1:15 p.m. April 29 in Hamilton Co. Superior Court 5.

Prevail to fundraise with fashion

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com

The “Spring into Fashion” fundraiser is returning for its fifth year to benefit Prevail, Inc., event a Noblesville nonprofit that aids victims of crime and abuse. The event will include a fashion show, shopping, a coin purse raffle by Saks Fifth Avenue, lunch, a runway show and a free charm from Smith’s Jewelers.

“It’s always great awareness for the community to see that we do have victims of violence in our neighborhoods and in our backyards that need assistance,” said Natasha Robinson, event and marketing coordinator for Prevail. “We have been serving the community for 30 years, and in that time people have helped us support over 37,000 victims. This is just one of the examples of an event that goes back to continue to make those services free of charge and raise awareness for our community.”

“We have an inspirational

speaker who shares her story,” Robinson said. “She is a secondary victim, her child was in services here, and she is a parent of the victim.”

Robinson said that the luncheon is different than Prevail’s gala fundraiser that they hold each year.

Woodland will provide the lunch and dessert.

“It’s a nice luncheon that is informal and shorter than the gala,” she said. “It’s just a fun ladies’ afternoon out. Tickets are on sale now, and the event normally has about 200 people. We filled up last year.”

spring into fashion When: 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. May 11.

Where: Woodland Country Club, 100 Woodland Lane, Carmel.

Cost: $50 per person or $500 for a sponsored table of eight.

dispatches Campaign sign notice from INDOT – The Indiana Dept. of Transportation urges political candidates and their supporters to keep roads free from encroaching campaign signs for the safety of the motoring public. INDOT says signs can block visibility for traffic entering and exiting the roadway at intersections and driveways.

Areas that should remain sign-free include intersections, interchanges and rights-of-way that run along the roadway. Where the right of way is not clearly marked, boundaries may be estimated as the fence line, the back of the ditch or behind utility poles. For more, visit in.gov/indot.

Noblesville Youth Baseball opens season, gives opportunities to nearly 1,200 local kids

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com David Leyda, president of Noblesville Youth Baseball, says the organization has one goal – to provide a low-cost cover story opportunity for area kids to play baseball.

It seems like a straightforward idea, and it is, which is probably why it has proved successful.

Just opening its season this month, NYB is the baseball outlet to nearly 1,200 kids in Noblesville, from age 3 through sixth grade.

“We’re serving primarily Noblesville Schoolage children,” Leyda said. “We don’t have a residency requirement (for rec), per se, but 99 percent-plus of the kids are in Noblesville Schools.”

NYB offers both rec and full-time and parttime travel leagues. All leagues end at the sixth-grade level, as Noblesville Schools begins offering organized baseball programming in seventh grade at Noblesville East and Noblesville West Middle Schools.

While the organization isn’t directly affiliated with the school district, they do have a partnership for land use where the facilities are located behind Hazel Dell Elementary School at 3025 Westfield Rd. A member of the Noblesville Youth Sports Alliance – an organization promoted by the schools as a one-stop shop for youth sports in Noblesville – Leyda said NYB provides the lowest cost for youth baseball in central Indiana at $50 for one, full year of baseball, along with a hat and jersey.

Mills is credited for helping start NYB, collaborating with the schools, local businesses and the entire community as a fundraiser to bring organized youth baseball to Noblesville.

“He had a vision to start baseball in Noblesville for kids,” Leyda said. “He went out into the community and raised the money to start building the facility, and they started with one field – the Bobby A. Mills Field of Dreams. He was out here every day until he passed away (in 2010.)”

playing baseball versus facing the TV. “Our most full divisions are the 3- and 4-year-old, the 5-year-old and the Kindergarten. So, those boys fill up to the point where we can’t take any more players. We have a waiting list, simply based on capacity, the number of teams we can support with the scheduling and everything else.”

But Leyda said while the largest numbers

come from the youngest in the organization, interest and involvement in travel teams has grown significantly.

“The number of travel teams is exploding,” he said. “So, the opportunities to play after sixth grade, for any player, have increased a lot.”

Aside from numbers, what’s more astonishing is how the organization is run – nearly solely from volunteer work.

“We have a full-volunteer board of directors – with the exception of our executive director – made up of folks from the community,” Leyda said. NYB’s executive board consists of a president, vice president, treasurer, secretary and executive director, in addition to working and advisory boards.

“The real mission of NYB is to give a lowcost opportunity for kids in the community to play baseball … to have fun, to be competitive, to learn the advantages of building relationships with coaches and relationships with other players as friends,” Leyda said.

Leyda said registration for the fall season will open no later than May 1. For more, visit noblesvillebaseball.org.

NYB FACILITY FEATUREs The Noblesville Youth Baseball facilities feature eight outdoor, lighted, turf fields – the only all-turf facility in central Indiana – in addition to practice batting cages and a practice pitching area.

In 2001, the organization was presented with four awards by the Continental Amateur Baseball Association for hosting the 2001 CABA House World Series, including Best Facility.

In the future, Leyda said the organization is looking to add batting cages and an additional two to four fields. “Big picture, we want to have some sort of indoor facility.”

A third house update

FR O M T HE COMMUNITY

Transparency receives a boost I would like to thank the Statehouse legislators, especially Rep. Jerry Torr and Sen. Jim Merritt, for supporting House Bill 1017, which Gov. Mike Pence signed into law March 23, 2016. This bill added local newspapers, such as Current, to the list of acceptable printmedia options in which municipalities can publish public notices. This new rule allows for greater transparency of local government, which is what I told the Senate Committee on Local Government when I spoke in support of this bill. The new law dropped the requirement that the media had to have a “paid subscription” base in order to be on the list of acceptable notice publications.

Before HB1017, my office could only select The Noblesville Times as the media outlet for publishing public notices, and it reaches only 1.3 percent of Carmel residents. Current, as you might know, is free and reaches 100 percent of households in the communities it serves. We now have market competition and options for public noticing. In Carmel, and maybe it’s the same in your community, residents routinely have voiced their dismay that public notices are not in Current. When they do not see notices printed in the Current, our residents assume we are not doing our job of adequately notifying them of important city business taking place at public meetings. The City of Carmel clerk treasurer, mayor and the Common Council value the citizens’ input, because the more they know, the better our government can represent them. Thank you, State of Indiana, for putting transparency first!

Christine S. Pauley is the clerk treasurer for the City of Carmel and the executive director of the City of Carmel Local Public Improvement Bond Bank. You may reach her at 317-571-2430.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

An Iditarod dilemma Commentary by Terry Anker We all seek success. Right? Well, can we agree that we all want to be able to keep up with the achievement of those closest to us? Being valued as a member of the crew, or family, or dog-sled team, is important to our ego – and to our general well-being. If the lead dog is able to run for 20 miles and if we are pulling the same sled, then anything less would hold back the top achiever.

So, how do we keep up? We can practice and push ourselves to performance consistent with that front canine. Such may be the best and most honorable way to prove our worth to the collective. But, what if we’re not able (or willing) to exert the effort required to be a mutual contributor to the effort? In that case, perhaps our strength comes from some other special skill. Our inability to run the course might be off-set by our ability to get the most out of the other dogs. While our best running days are over, we’ve become highly adroit at logistics, sled

maintenance, or nutrition. We are the team’s secret weapon.

Yet sometimes, our inclusion only debilitates the work of the others. Our failure to know and admit our own limitations becomes a drain on the contributions of the rest. We can guilt or cajole the team into keeping us. We can undermine the confidence of the top performers to hold on a bit longer. But, the truth may be that we should simply retire.

Are we keeping up, contributing, or getting in the way? The best among us ask this question routinely in the course of life’s winding journey. It helps us correct and focus our effort. And, it can make us confront our own uncomfortable truths – good and bad. It’s an Iditarod dilemma.

Q U O T E O F T HE WEE K Never look back unless you are planning to go that way.

– Henry David Thoreau

I apologize for once again harping on about our kitchen remodel, but the experience is so overwhelming that humor I can think of little else. We are heading into either Week 6 or 7 (I’ve lost track) of no sink, disposal, dishwasher or countertops, and new in the last few days, also no main-floor toilet.

I mention this because our oldest son’s bedroom is adjacent to this bathroom, and he cannot contain his frustration at having to climb stairs and cut through a sibling’s room to use the facilities in the middle of the night. Okay! We get it. We’ve ruined your life. Now suck it up and deal. For the love of all that is holy, just please. Stop.

COMPLAINING! On a positive note, we finally installed new flooring, so we no longer have to worry that we’re breathing fecal-contaminated air. But now, our overweight, anxious, earinfected Labrador, who used to love running herself silly around the living and family rooms, can barely function. The change has left her quiet, withdrawn and seemingly depressed. A welcome change from her normal shenanigans, certainly, but I do kind of feel sorry for her. Kinda.

And my husband and I finally snapped.

A “discussion” the other day quickly escalated, driving me to tears and Doo to major schmuck-dom. At the end, we realized most of the issues were stress-based, thanks to our home having been a barely-livable S-box for almost two months. Why don’t I see this kind of drama on Fixer Upper or Property Brothers? I watched HGTV religiously in preparation for this reno, and never once did I see families ready to rip each other apart.

There were disagreements, yes, but all the shows made kitchen redo’s look effortless, even fun. Not cool, Joanna Gaines! Not cool.

Supposedly, the insanity will end in a few days when the last of the “biggies” arrive, our countertops. Within the week, the kitchen should be restored, and hopefully, domestic order, too. And then I’ll return to writing about more exciting topics, like working-mom guilt and the infinite uses of Clorox. Yay! Peace out.

National Association of Home Builders, Spring 2016 Nationwide housing starts rose 5.2 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.178 million units in February, according to newly released data from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Commerce Department. Single-family production increased 7.2 percent to 822,000 units— its highest level since November 2007— while multifamily starts remained virtually unchanged, inching up 0.8 percent to 356,000 units.

“This month’s report is consistent with positive builder sentiment and other economic indicators showing that the housing market continues to recover at a gradual pace,” said NAHB Chairman Ed Brady, a home builder and developer from Bloomington, Ill. “February’s single-family gains indicate that this sector is strengthening in line with our forecast,” said NAHB Chief Economist David Crowe. “As the U.S. economy firms, job creation continues and mortgage interest rates remain low, we should see further growth in housing production moving forward.”

Combined single- and multi-family starts rose in three of the four regions in

February, with the West, Midwest and South posting respective gains of 26.1 percent, 19.9 percent and 7.1 percent.

The Northeast registered a 51.3 percent loss.

Locally, Indianapolis-area home builders had their best February in almost a decade last month with a big surge in new-home buying. The last time area builders filed more permits in February was in 2007, when they filed 442. According to Jennifer Pyatt, co-owner of Pyatt Homes, a local area homebuilder, “Double digit permit gains in both February and March is certainly an indicator that the Indianapolis new home market is heating up. New home builders are seeing results pointing to better-thanseasonal order activity for the first time since the market downturn. With strong fundamentals in place such as low interest rates, improving mortgage availability, record low new home inventory and accelerating household formations, we are confident that we will continue to see moderate increases in permit numbers this year.”

As usual, Hamilton County led the area in filings, followed by Marion County then Hendricks County.

Design TrenDs: What Buyer

From modern white kitchens to earthy tones in baths, w

By Lauren Shanesy, Builder Online

TaKe iT easy

Consumers often rate the kitchen as the most important room in the home, and with good reason. This area is the spot where families and friends gather together most. Baths, as the serenity space where homeowners go to relax and unwind, follow closely in status. So, what do buyers want in these most-loved spaces?

Clean lines and natural-tone finishes, coupled with sophisticated design features, are characteristics that buyers want in their kitchens and baths. Homeowners value function and form over the size of a home, so small design details can go a long way when creating a practical yet stylish space.

Here are some of the top design takeaways for kitchens and baths:

When in doubt, stay simple. An all-white color scheme remains a top design trend among consumers for the clean look that it gives kitchens and baths. Clean edges and streamlined fixtures create chic, modern spaces while keeping design straightforward.

organic Tones connecT WiTh naTure

The “casual organic� style that buyers prefer incorporates natural surfaces and raw tones to make homes feel more down-to-earth.

Using natural wood finishes on countertops and wall panels is a stylish way for buyers to feel like they are bringing the outside in. In baths, natural finishes and textures enhance the spa-like, serene feel that buyers crave when looking to relax in their home and disconnect from the outside world. Buyers are shying away from the artificial and opting for more windows to increase natural light within the home.

we reveal the latest design trends that buyers want now a pop oF coLor

Color goes a long way in a room and costs next to nothing to incorporate. A bright wall or vibrant accent features can transform a bland space into something exciting. Such a simple addition can make a big difference.

aDD Dimension WiTh TexTure

FuncTionaL sTyLe Homeowners are practical; after all, at the end of the day, the most important design element of any home is that it functions well for its residents’ daily life. For buyers looking to maximize function in a small home without taking away from appearance, shelves offer the perfect combination of simple and sensible storage. Shelving in kitchens creates a more open feel than traditional cabinets—and costs less to install, too.

Unique light fixtures can also serve as a key design element in a room as an easy and quick way to add flavor and style to the space.

Adding the “little extras” will set the home apart from the pack and help buyers feel like they are making the most of their space—pull-out drawers in kitchen cabinets, island extensions and cutting board attachments on the sink are all examples of the useful additions that buyers love.

Clean countertop lines and white finishes may be what buyers are looking for, but the addition of a textured backsplash or exposed material is the extra component that will enhance the character of a kitchen or bath. This takes the “pop of color” trend one step further to embellish the surfaces and provide dimension to a simple room.

THE HOME BUYER’S CHECKLIST Use this checklist to help you select a builder or remodeler to do work on your home: ❑ Does the builder or remodeler have a permanent business location and a good reputation with local banks and suppliers? ❑ How long have they been in the building business? It usually takes three to five years to establish a financially sound business. Will they be around after the construction is complete to service any warranties? ❑ Is your builder a member of the Builders Association of Greater Indianapolis? ❑ Did your builder provide you a copy of the Quality Assurance Builder Standards? ❑ Have you called your local Better Business Bureau? It can alert you to any complaints. ❑ Does the builder/remodeler have sufficient workers compensation and general liability insurance? If not, you may be liable for any construction-related accidents on your premises. ❑ Will the builder/remodeler provide you with names of previous customers? Ask them if they would hire the builder/remodeler again. ❑ Have you seen the builder/remodelers’ work, both completed and in progress? Check for quality of workmanship and materials. ❑ Are you able to communicate with the builder/remodeler? Remember, you will be in close contact with them throughout the construction process and afterward as you live in your new home. ❑ Will the builder/remodeler provide you with a complete and clearly written contract? The contract will benefit both of you. Review it carefully. ❑ Be cautious of unusually low-priced bids. If the builder/remodeler is unable to pay for the materials and labor as the project proceeds, this may indicate a problem.

BAGI’s Quality Assurance Builder Standards BAGI’s Quality Assurance Builder Standards provide new homebuyers and remodeling homeowners a way to measure the quality of the project against an industry-approved set of standards.

These standards have been developed by BAGI as a service to newhome and remodeling homeowners in the Central Indiana area. BAGI is a membership trade association representing several-hundred-member firms in Boone, Hamilton, Hancock, Hendricks, Johnson, Madison, Marion, Morgan and Shelby Counties. These standards create a series of performance guildlines the builders and the homeowners can use to communicate and understand expectations regarding the building or remodeling project.

The standards address the most prevalent issues that arise between the builder and the customer before the project, during the project, and, most importantly, after the project.

“All too often it is the undefined expectations that create the majority of the problems encountered in the building and remodeling processes, says Steve Lains, CEO of the Builders Association of Greater Indianapolis. “The standards will help eliminate problems before the project even begins and gives homeowners a level of confidence that they are doing business with a reputable company,” Lains said.

Ask your builder how to get your copy of the Quality Assurance Builder Standards.

The Center for the Performing Arts announces new season lineup Editorial@youarecurrent.com From country to classics, the new season of shows at The Center for the Performing Arts is sure to attract audiences from performance all music styles.

Series highlights will include a folk performance Sept. 17 by George Thorogood, the Wilmington guitarist who piled his gear into his drummer’s Chevy van to play their very first gig at a University of Delaware dorm.

More than four decades, over 8,000 live shows, and some 15 million albums sold worldwide later, that same maverick guitar-slinger is still making electrifying music, still thrilling audiences, and still the most bad-to-the-bone performer in rock.

Also in the folk series will be the show titled “An Evening with Joan Baez,” on Oct. 20. A central figure in the nation’s cultural and political life for over 50 years, folk music luminary Baez stirred the masses during the American roots revival of the early 1960s. She remains a musical force of nature whose influence is incalculable. A Grammy nominee and recipient of the Recording Academy’s Lifetime Achievement Award, Baez brings her signature energy and passion to the Palladium stage for one night only.

In the Center’s Dance Series, there will be performances from contemporary and classic dancers, including Hubbard Street Dance Chicago Sept. 23 and 24. The group will be celebrating 39 years in contemporary dance, Hubbard Street Dance Chicago has long been known for its exceptionally talented, versatile and virtuosic performers, as well as for an adventurous repertoire of works by diverse choreographers. Under the artistic direction of Glenn Edgerton, this all-star ensemble is arguably at the top of its game, and will “take your breath away,” according to a review from the “Washington Post.”

Later in the year, holiday performances will be perfect for the family with shows such as the Home Free Holiday on Dec. 15 and the New Years Eve Extravaganza, back for its second year on Dec. 31. The Home Free Holiday show will feature the famous a cappella band that was crowned Season 4 champions of NBC’s “The Sing-Off.” The group continues to entertain audiences with their high-energy show peppered with quick-witted humor that meshes Nashville standards with pop hits dipped in country flavor. Home Free returns to the Palladium for an unforgettable holiday performance.

Sandwich de pollo con durazno Commentary by Ceci Martinez If you have the opportunity to visit Lima, Peru, a must stop is Cafe San Antonio. It’s not only the best bakery in town but is a favorite for locals (you will see the occasional tourist).

The menu offers a variety of amazing savory and sweet dishes at a reasonable price. I’ve often been asked what can I recommend from their menu - the answer is that’s always a big dilemma because everything at this cafe, is delicioso! Here, I try to recreate this yummy sandwich from our visit. This dish is great for lazy weekends or school lunch, because it can be ready in a flash. The secret? It is semi-homemade! It is a flexible recipe; you can adjust the quantities to your taste.

Serves: 2 Ingredients: • 1 cup rotisserie chicken, shredded • 1 stalk celery, thinly sliced • Handful cup pecans, roasted, chopped

Spoon mixture onto bread and top chicken with sliced peaches. You can accompany this with kale chips.

Here are three pairings that are optimal for health benefits: 1. Fish and wine – moderate amount of wine with fish improves omega-3 absorption 2. Lemon and tea – lemon juice allows more of the tea’s compounds to survive digestion 3. Fat and salad – some fat in your dressing allows better absorption of the carotenoids in the veggies.

Gluten-free flour – Try using coconut flour as a substitute for regular flour. It contains no gluten.

It’s also very high in nutrition including high protein, high fiber and low carbs. It has a natural sweetness, so you can use less sugar in your recipes. When substituting for regular flour, start with half the amount the recipe calls for and add small amounts to achieve the right consistency.

The easiest way to strengthen the small foot muscles is to shed your shoes and pad around the house in your bare feet. Exercises that can be done with bare feet, such as yoga or Pilates, will strengthen the foot muscles.

Selling prices up 2.7 percent Commentary by Jim Litten March revealed it’s a sellers’ market in central Indiana residential real estate. The amount of available listings real estate decreased 13.5 percent compared to this time last year, and this has helped raise the average selling price of a home 2.7 percent across the region. The number of pended home sales have also increased year to date by approximately 1.6 percent compared to 2015.

March 2016 was a slower month for Hamilton Co. compared to this time last year. Pended sales declined 8.5 percent, or 57 homes, compared to March 2015. Inventory also tightened by approximately 6 percent, a decrease of 102 houses. In addition, average sale prices inched up 0.5 percent to $272,524.

• In Noblesville, the average year-to-date home sales price stayed flat, now at $214,526.

• Inventory moved at a slightly faster pace in Noblesville in March 2016. Overall, homes sold in 77 days – seven fewer days than this time last year.

• Buyers in Noblesville had fewer options

available to them. Last month, 263 homes were available for sale – 66 fewer homes compared to March 2015.

• Pended home sales have slipped in Noblesville. In March 2016, 120 homes sold – a decline of 10 homes compared to March 2015.

• Of the pended home sales in Noblesville last month, three were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 25 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 24 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; 63 were priced $100,000 to $199,999; and five were priced below $99,999.

It is a prime time to be a seller. Sellers do not have as much competition, as buyer options at all price levels – starter, trade-up and premium – are dropping, especially in the starter category. And, the pacing of sales continues to accelerate month over month.

DIVORCE – WHAT TO EXPECT: Going to Court Although settlement is the preferred resolution for family law cases and frequently results in a better conclusion for all concerned, the parties have the fundamental right to have their dispute heard and decided by a judge. Court hearings have structured and specific procedures and understanding what the Court will hear and how evidence must be presented is key to being prepared. In these circumstances, the “fear of the unknown” is a major concern for clients. Typically, clients have not been in Court to testify and have only limited experience with Court proceedings. In the event your case proceeds to a hearing, knowing what to expect (to the extent that is possible) in Court can help to ease your concerns.

Request the Hearing. The Court does not automatically set hearings.

Therefore, your attorney will file a written request specifying the issues to cover and the amount of time the parties anticipate needing to present the evidence. These hearing can be for preliminary orders, enforcement requests, and, ultimately, for the final adjudication of the divorce terms themselves. If the case begins with a great deal of conflict and agreement is unlikely, you may request a preliminary hearing upon the filing of your initial Petition. This will ensure that you are set on the Court’s calendar in a timely manner so as to avoid any unnecessary delay in resolving the issues pending before the Court.

Be Prepared. Preparation is the key to going to trial. Presenting the proper evidence and anticipating the position of the opposing party are key in obtaining the best possible results. There is no way to know how the Judge will rule on any given issue on any given day due to the fact that each family law case is unique – no two sets of facts are the same – but making your position clear and providing supporting evidence in an organized and efficient manner is essential. Understanding that there is limited time within which to present your evidence to the Judge, deciding which evidence is the most important to present is also essential; frequently, there will not be time for the Judge to hear everything, so what

he/she does hear must point to the result you want and provide the basis for the Court to find that the facts and the law favor the outcome you seek. Understanding what the documentation and witness who can best provide that basis will require considerable preparation, including understanding what questions will be asked of all witnesses and what the information the questions are intended to relay.

What to Wear? Simple - look like you respect the Court. While it is not absolutely necessary to dress formally when appearing in Court, that never hurts. You should present yourself in a clean, conservative, business-casual manner. It’s hard to be overdressed; be certain you aren’t underdressed.

The Day of the Hearing. Make certain that you know the location of the Court and give yourself time to find parking and make it through the building security. Be early. Courts have limited time and arriving late is a good way to get off to a bad start. Once the Court is ready to begin, the Judge will enter and the matter will begin with the evidence from the party who requested the hearing. At the close of the petitioning parties’ case, the opposing party will present his/her evidence. When all evidence has been presented, the Judge will issue a ruling. This may be done in Court live on the record or after the hearing if the Judge has taken the matter under advisement. If the matter is taken under advisement, the Judge has ninety (90) days to issue a written Order.

Frequently, the Judge will ask the attorneys to provide proposed orders for the Court to consider.

At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., our team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs. If you have questions or concerns regarding divorce, custody, support, or any other family law concerns contact our firm at 317.DIVORCE or visit our website at www.hzlegal.com.

Blueprint for Improvement: 1930s bathroom with updated details Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions:

After

The goal was to create more spacious, functional bathroom for the homeowners that reflected their 1930s home aesthetics.

1. The vanity is now housed on one wall, with two sinks on one longer run.

2. Custom mirrors were designed with a curve in the center to add a focal point.

3. A makeup sitting area was tucked under the sloped roof at the end of the vanity.

4. The shower and toilet spaces were switched to provide better functionality and circulation, ensuring a spacious, open shower design.

5. The details in the lighting fixtures, cabinetry, crystal knobs, and oil rubbed bronze finish coordinate with the home’s aesthetics.

6. The angled tile flooring draws your eye naturally to the main focus area of the updated bathroom.

Before Background info: This 1930s Meridian Kessler master bathroom in Indianapolis provided a fun challenge, as the new design had to keep with the original style of the home. It was in desperate need of both a functional and aesthetic update.

Before problems: The existing space had hunter green carpet on the floor, a tub that was never used and split vanity areas that made for an dysfunctional layout and very outdated look. It was time to replace the polished, brass fixtures and awkward spaces with updated fixtures and function.

Great Mosque of Damascus with Jesus Minaret. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Jesus and the mosque Commentary by Don Knebel The Great Mosque of Damascus is considered by some Muslims to be the fourth most important mosque on earth, foltravel lowing mosques in Mecca, Medina and Jerusalem. Surprising to many Christians, the Great Mosque, one of the largest in the world, honors both John the Baptist and Jesus.

The Great Mosque lies in the center of Damascus on a site devoted to religious buildings since at least 1000 B.C., when it was the location of the temple of a Canaanite weather god. When the Romans captured Damascus in 64 B.C., they converted the temple to one honoring Jupiter. When Paul was baptized in Damascus in about 40 A.D., the temple honored a number of Roman gods and rivaled in splendor the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. In the late fourth century, when Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire, the temple was converted to a cathedral. By the sixth century, the cathedral claimed to hold the severed head of John the Baptist.

When the Umayyads established an extensive Islamic caliphate in the late seventh century, they made Damascus their capital. They demolished the cathedral and constructed a mosque on the site. During construction, workers discovered a box they believed contained the head of John the Baptist, who is important to Muslims, and created a domed shrine for the head in the women’s prayer hall. The tallest of the Great Mosque’s three minarets is named for Jesus, whom Muslims revere as a prophet second in importance only to Muhammad. Many Muslim residents of Damascus believe that Jesus will return to their city at the end of time, where he will battle and defeat the Antichrist.

In 2001, Pope John Paul II toured the Great Mosque because of its ties to Jesus and John the Baptist, becoming the first Pope to visit a mosque.

Dispatches Planting tip – When planting your garden, you may need to calculate distances and depths for seeds or bulbs. So, turn the handles of your gardening tools into rulers. Mark off and number inches with a waterproof pen. Be sure to account for the number of inches from the tip of the tool to the start of the handle. Then, when you’re digging, there’s no need to stop and switch to a measuring tool to check depth or distance.
