Councilors’ ‘private’ meeting alarms some

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Despite hearing of an unadvertised meeting between two council members, neighbors in Westfield’s southwest develOpMeNT quadrant, builder Paul Rioux and others, the Westfield City Council approved the 309-acre Westchester planned unit development, 5-2.

Jon Dobosiewicz, a managing professional with Nelson and Frankenberger, presented updates on the Westchester PUD at the council’s Jan. 8 meeting.

Last-minute changes included no single builder being able to build on more than 50 percent of the lots in one area, requirement of a minimum of three builders per area in the PUD and more.

Dobosiewicz said during his presentation finalizations were made the afternoon of Jan. 8, but the discussion originated in a meeting the previous weekend. The meeting was not advertised to the public.

When council member Joe Edwards learned of the meeting, to which he had not been invited, he was displeased.

“This is not the way we want to do busi-

ness,” he said. “It should be done in the light of day.”

YOUR SOURCE FOR LOCAL NEWS, INFORMATION AND AUDIENCE DELIVERY

Council President Jim Ake explained to Edwards that inviting residents into a discussion with developers was vital. Council Vice President Chuck Lehman said he organized the meeting because he wanted people to have their questions answered.

“I reached out to be proactive to see if solutions were out there,” Lehman said. “If somebody wants to criticize me (for doing) that, then you have at it, but we are out there listening, asking questions and responding to the public.”

Council member Steve Hoover voted in favor of the proposal.

“You can’t do everything in a public meeting. There are discussions outside of (the) public to get a process, to get a product to (the) point of getting a vote,” he said.

Council member Cindy Spoljaric agreed with Edwards. She said she wanted more time to review the new information.

“I like to digest and really think about this.

That’s what bothers me, is this 11th-hour stuff,” she said.

Despite a 6-3 negative recommendation from the plan commission, the council approved the proposal, 5-2.

Girl gives back to TherAPlay

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com After seeing firsthand how The Children’s TherAplay Foundation works when a family member received philanthropy services there, Hannah Sevening yearned to do something to give back.

TherAplay, 9919 Towne Rd. in Carmel, provides physical and occupational therapy to children with special needs.

“My cousin, he has special needs, and he went there when he was younger. It did really help him,” the 10-year-old Carmel resident said. “I like to donate to charity, and I like helping give back to the community.

I want to be a veterinarian when I grow up.”

Sevening raised $1,336 in three weeks, and she turned that money into 175 goodie bags for the kids, therapists and horses at TherAplay. Some of the items she donated included kazoos, markers, tissues, construction paper and more. For the horses, Sevening purchased items such as sponges and fly spray. The bags were delivered last month.

This isn’t the first time Sevening gave to something bigger than herself. Last year, she made coloring books, cards and purchased toys for children at Riley Hospital.

She’s not exactly sure what charity she’ll donate to next year.

Hannah’s mother, Amy, said it’s special

that her daughter puts so much focus into helping other kids.

“It’s a wonderful thing as a parent to see our daughter wanting to do things for other kids,” Amy said.

The Sevenings attend St. Maria Goretti Catholic Church and School in Westfield, which is where Amy said her daughter originally developed her heart to give back.

“When she’s a little older, she can join their youth group ministry, and she’s looking forward to that in middle school,” Amy said of Hannah’s participation in the church.

Clarification – In the Jan. 2 “Paving the Path” article in Current in Westfield, there was some misinformation regarding Riverview Health Westfield Hospital. Westfield’s first hospital is slated to open in the spring at the northeast corner of Ind. 32 and U.S. 31. The 108,000-square-foot hospital will offer a 24/7 emergency department and urgent care, an inpatient unit, surgery suites, an outpatient pharmacy, lab and imaging services, as well as physician offices. The hospital will be opening in phases with the bottom two floors opening in the spring and the upper floors opening approximately three months later. There will be five inpatient beds when the hospital opens and a 16-bed inpatient unit opening three months later.

Coroner says drug OD cases might be double

By Noah Alatza news@currentinwestfield.com

The nationwide drug epidemic claimed even more lives last year, as Hamilton County saw a record numepidemic ber of overdose deaths for 2017.

In 2014, the county reported 18 overdoses. In 2017, 36 were reported.

That number, according to Hamilton County Coroner John Chalfin, might actually be even higher.

Chalfin Chalfin estimates the true number of overdose deaths in Hamilton County is nearly double what is reported.

Chalfin said a reason overdose deaths are under-reported is because his office has not been counting numerous people who overdose in Carmel and Fishers, the county’s two most populated areas, but are transported to Indianapolis hospitals.

“We have jurisdiction in Hamilton County,

not Marion,” Chalfin said. “Our two most populous areas are right at the borders, and what happens in (Marion County) doesn’t get reported to us.”

Chalfin said overdose patients near Hamilton County’s borders are often taken to nearby Community North Hospital or St. Vincent Hospital on 86th Street.

During the past three years, Chalfin said there has only been one pure heroin overdose in the county. Many times, heroin and other street drugs are mixed with a deadly narcotic, fentanyl.

“I’m trying to find out what is fact and fiction,” he said “We are concentrating on prescription drugs and opiates. That’s how a lot of people get started, but we are not counting out illicit street drugs.”

Chalfin said much of the nationwide epidemic is concentrated in the Midwest.

“If you look at the I-70 corridor from Indianapolis to Dayton (Ohio), they string across the Midwest,” he said. “Dealers aren’t picking on the big cities, they are picking on the secondary ones. This is not happening just in our state.”

Grand Opening LIBERTY RIDGE IN WESTFIELD

Parent shares bullying story

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Members of the Westfield Washington Schools Board of Trustees heard Jan. 9 from Michelle Wickham, a local Education parent smarting over multiple bullying incidents her daughter endured.

Wickham said she withdrew her two youngest children from Westfield schools after hearing her daughter describe bullying that included unsolicited touches from a male student in a classroom with less than 10 students. Wickham said administrators told her and her husband, Andy, no policies or procedures would be changed as a result of the incidents.

“I can’t convey the pain we have gone through trying to help her to overcome this very traumatic experience,” Wickham said during her presentation. “You’re in a position of authority, and I am one parent.

I don’t want my child’s experience to be forgotten or to be in vain. Layers of protection are worth nothing if they don’t actually work to protect my child from what’s happened.”

Although school board members aren’t required to respond when the audience

addresses them at the end of a meeting, several members assured Wickham her concerns weren’t going unheard.

During her presentation, Wickham also asked parents to remind their children that bullying is not acceptable, and if students are being bullied, to continue to tell administrators until action is taken.

Other action during the school board meeting included the board appointing Dan Degnan as board president and approval a motion to transition from trimesters to quarters for grades 5-8. Visit youarecurrent.com to read a previous story highlighting different aspects of that motion.

Pacers Athletic Center celebrates Basketball Day, continues to see growth

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Squeaking shoes, bouncing basketballs and the occasional shout filled the newly christened Pacers Athcover story letic Center Jan. 6. It was Basketball Day in Indiana, and the fieldhouse was celebrating the state’s favorite sport as well as kicking off its winter league, whose participation grew by more than 100 percent over last year’s.

Teams filled each court. A few of the Indiana Pacers Pacemates roamed the fieldhouse and Westfield Mayor Andy Cook spoke live with Jeremiah Johnson, a Fox Sports Indiana television host for the Pacers.

Later in the day, a high school basketball game between Broad Ripple and Crispus Attucks was televised prior to the Pacers vs.

Bulls game that evening.

Andy Card, the entrepreneur behind the fieldhouse, said the facility’s focus is growing youth sports – a goal emphasized by the “We Grow Basketball Here” motto displayed Card across the main court.

Card prides himself for bringing one of Grand Park’s first private sector developments to the area. He is building similar fieldhouses in central Indiana to support the Pacers Athletic Center.

“One of the reasons why I came up here and put our first facility here was because of the infrastructure in place,” Card said.

“Not only the roads and streets, but also the investment the City of Westfield had put into Grand Park. That investment by the city was a 100-percent game changer that ultimately made my decision to come build my first facility here.”

Cook, the visionary behind Grand Park, said bringing in the private sector always was the plan.

“This is exactly what we wanted to happen, the private sector filling in the other sports and other businesses that the city chose not to invest in with the idea that the private sector would, if we created the correct environment,” Cook said.

Another private sector development Cook referenced is Pro X Athlete Development,

a multi-million dollar training facility proposed for near Grand Park Events Center that would provide training and rehabilitation for an array of athletes. That proposal was approved by city council Jan. 8.

Although other private sectors are just starting to lauch businesses near Grand Park, Card’s project has experienced significant growth. He said the team count has increased 100 percent from last year.

For the winter league, the most popular in basketball season, nearly 500 teams are

participating. When the fieldhouse held its grand opening in January 2016, there were zero teams.

“We thought about adding courts to our plan, and our model right now is to build other facilities within range so they can collaborate,” Card said. “The next facility is in Finch Creek in Noblesville.”

Card said an announcement will come later this month of another facility in the far north end of Hamilton County and on the west and south sides of Indianapolis.

“Our idea is to be able to provide facilities and amenities around Indianapolis and allow them to work together on weekends for larger tournaments,” Card said.

“Not only does that enable us to have the growth we want to have, but also the ability to attract tournaments globally.”

A formal ribbon-cutting ceremony soon will be announced for the newly named Pacers Athletic Center.

For more, visit pacersac.com.

virtual ATTRACTION What interested the Indiana Pacers in purchasing the naming rights for the previously named Jonathan Byrd’s Fieldhouse was not basketball, but video games.

Game On, the state’s first eSports center, recently opened in the front of the Grand Park Fieldhouse prior to it being re-christened the Pacers Athletic Center. The electronic sports business hosts leagues, tournaments and individual play in games such as League of Legends and NBA2k18. Andy Card, the entrepreneur behind the fieldhouse, said Game On attracted the Pacers because of a new program the National Basketball Association is

implementing.

“The first thing that brought the Pacers here was the Game On business up front,” Card said. “There are 17 teams in the NBA, and the Pacers (are) one of those. The Pacers are developing an NBA 2K eSports team. (Someone) could go try out, be on the NBA 2K team for the Pacers, get a team together and practice, and then go to another NBA city and play that team virtually. That’s how the relationship started and turned into a bigger discussion.”

Righteous vengeance

Dance mama drama

Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Are we victims? Are they? As definitions and understanding of what it means to be wronged become more fluid, we struggle to process.

First, victims should carry no shame. Certainly, anger, fear and loathing are byproducts of being victimized. Likely, those feelings are unavoidable. Yet, 17th century mathematician Johannes Kepler is quoted as saying: “Temporis filia veritas, cui me obstetricari non pudet (Truth is the daughter of time, and I feel no shame in being her midwife).” In it, he argues that we cannot hope to be truth but should instead create a place where it can be delivered. Often persecuted for pushing the veracity in science at a time where such actions were punishable by death, and certainly by ridicule, he found that one cannot force the acceptance of truth but rather know that if it is allowed to be delivered, in its own time, it will come forth.

Second, life is an infinitely complex and multivariate equation. It is our own folly to imagine that we have control over anything or anyone – perhaps, as some argue, even over ourselves. We cannot predict or direct their actions any more than we can extract justice from those who we believe to have transgressed. Romans 12:19 reads, “Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.” Is this Scripture less about God’s reservation of vengeance and more his understanding that a desire for retribution consumes the one who pursues it as much or more than it punishes its object? In casting off wrongful shame, is there a limit to righteous vengeance?

The 2018 dance season is upon us, and as your resident Dance Mom, I feel compelled to share my initial observahumor tions and thoughts after our first weekend of competition.

And I say “our” because even though I’m not technically out there jazz-handing it in bedazzled booty shorts, as a dance mom I have no choice but to live vicariously through my 13-year-old daughter.

First up, there was far less dressing room drama, at least for me. After four years of squatting amidst tap shoes, hairspray bottles and discarded hair nets as I worked to construct the perfect low bun, I now feel comfortable enough staying in the hall and letting her teammates handle the chaos. You’ve heard the adage, “If Maddie has a rage stroke over her missing butt glue but I’m not there to witness it, does it really happen?” Who knows? Who cares? I’ll be hunkered down in my hotel room bingewatching “The Tudors.”

Then, there was this: Teammate: “I hate these fishnets! They’re too tight and make me look fat!” Coach: “No one wants to see any hoo-hahs today. You’re wearing them!”

Now, that’s something you don’t hear on a basketball court!

Finally, girls are just as filthy as boys.

While donning makeup in our room, one dancer stunk up the bathroom so badly we considered evacuating. She could give Doo a run for his money.

First competition down, plenty to go. I hope you’ll join me for the ride.

Peace out.

READER ’ S V I E W Response to sign error

Editor, An Indianapolis billboard company has chosen to attack Westfield’s sign ordinance in a very disrespectful and thoughtless manner. GEFT Outdoor LLC has filed a federal lawsuit challenging Westfield’s sign ordinance, particularly the ordinance’s ban on pole signs, which has been in place for years. This filing, in and of itself, is certainly allowed and any person or company has a right to do so.

GEFT Outdoor LLC has chosen, however, to take this challenge to a new and very disheartening level as an attack on local government.

Over the past several weeks GEFT has begun installation of this banned sign on the property of Bob’s Garage, 16708 Dean Rd. on U.S. 31. No permit has been issued by the City of Westfield. Pole signs are specifically prohibited by City of Westfield Unified Development Ordinance, section 6.17.E.4. Work on the structure has continued despite the city issuing and posting several stop work orders. On Dec. 16, a crane was observed at the site preparing to lift a vertical section of the pole sign. City personnel responded and

were able to cease the operation.

The City of Westfield has never experienced this level of blatant disregard and lack of respect to its government and community. Our citizens decided many years ago to establish a carefully worded sign ordinance prohibiting pole signs. The ordinance was properly and legally processed through the Plan Commission and the city council. The strategy by GEFT is obvious: Proceed with this illegal installation while the ordinance is being legally challenged in federal court, a rather slow process in itself. Meanwhile, the sign would be in place. As a result, the citizens of Westfield are being forced to pay huge legal fees with their tax dollars to defend this frivolous action and illegal installation.

I am sure the outdoor advertising industry is dominated by respectful, responsible entities. What a great disgrace to that industry that this one company would exhibit such blatant disregard toward the City of Westfield and the many other municipalities with similar ordinances.

Sincerely, J. Andrew Cook, Mayor

Lacking common scents Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Several years ago, I mentioned in a column that I have pretty much lost my sense of smell. Many people wrote to humor tell me I had a serious medical issue. Medical advice from friends usually stinks. Not that I would know what stinks.

When Mary Ellen, Brett and I used to sit in the living room watching the evening news, our dog was always at our feet. All of a sudden, both my son and my wife would start waving their hands in front of their noses.

“You didn’t smell that?” they’d shout.

“No, but I heard it.”

I may have a disorder called anosmia, which one expert claims is sometimes caused by intra-nasal drug abuse. I could be losing my memory, too, because I have no recollection of ever putting anything in my nose except a carrot at every New Year’s Eve party. I do this just so I can say, “My doctor says I’m not eating right.”

I am coping with my problem. For example, I now change my socks almost every day because my previous technique for making that important evaluation is no lon-

ger effective. Has the cottage cheese in the fridge gone bad? Now, I have to rely solely on the fuzzy green top layer to determine whether it’s a bad lunch option.

If you lose your sense of smell, it does a number on your sense of taste. I told my wife I’m enjoying her cooking more than ever. I stupidly thought she would take that as a compliment.

The Brookstone catalog doesn’t contain a single gadget I could attach to my proboscis to help me compete with noses half my age. One website suggested that if your sense of smell is impaired, you might want to employ a “smell buddy”—a person you trust to tell you whether you have foul-smelling breath or offensive odors in your home. I called my friend Bob to see if he qualified and was willing. I promised to make a big donation to his favorite charity if he’d do it.

“This deal smells fishy to me,” Bob said.

I hired him on the spot.

Jeanette Wiles wanted to lose weight, but she wanted to keep it off.

“I wanted to lose weight loss weight, but I wanted to do it in a sustainable manner,” said Wiles, a Noblesville resident.

“In the past, I’d been on a yo-yo. I’d lose weight and not feel so good and gain some weight. I wanted to do something I could continue doing.”

So, Nelson decided to start with Riverview Health’s Body Knowledge program in late March 2017. The program began in November 2016.

Wiles, 74, has lost 36 pounds of fat.

Brittany Nelson, registered dietitian and corporate wellness supervisor, runs the program that uses Bod Pod, which measures fat and lean body mass.

“We’ve had all different types of clients.

That includes people that are more athletic or athletes that want Bod Pod measurements monthly to see how body composition is changing,” Nelson said.

Nelson said programs range in length from four weeks to 10 months.

Wiles has been doing Bod Pod since March 28, 2017. Sessions are 16 weeks, plus once a month for six months. Nelson said the longer program allows for setting longand short-term goals “We can give them the education they need as far as nutrition and calories needed for weight loss,” Nelson said. “With the Bod Pod, we can view when you lose fat and when you lose muscle. For instance, Jeanette, halfway through her program, her fat free mass was decreasing, which could pos-

sibly be muscle. We were able to set her up with one of our exercise specialists, which helped her halt her muscle loss, and she actually gained a little bit more muscle by doing that. If we didn’t have the Bod Pod, we would have never been able to do it.”

Wiles said she had never tried much of an exercise program in the past.

“What Bod Pod did for me was motivate me to see what I needed to do,” Wiles said of exercise. “I was losing weight, but I really (was) starting to lose muscle, which I feel has been a problem in the past as I’ve tried to lose weight. With this program, I went to a trainer, and he gave me strength training exercises, so I can see now with Bod Pod, I’m losing fat but not muscle.”

Wiles is involved with the Aqua Joints exercise program at Riverview Health Rehab & Fitness.

There will be free Body Knowledge seminars at 6 p.m. March 14 at Riverview Rehab & Fitness.

Green Apple doesn’t fall far from old location

By Heather Lusk news@currentinwestfield.com

Green Apple Lifestyle Boutique owner Shelly Petrowski pauses in her new shop. (Photo by Heather Lusk)

When Green Apple Lifestyle Boutique owner Shelly Petrowski decided to downsize, she knew fitness she’d like to move her Michigan Road store to downtown Zionsville.

“It fits the mode of what I am,” she said. “It’s very quaint. Everybody’s so supportive of each other.”

The Westfield resident looked for a year for the right location and knew it when she found it.

“You go with your gut,” Petrowski said.

Three weeks later, she opened the 500-square-foot shop at 70 North Main St. Although the downsize resulted in the loss of space for fitness classes, she still has an area for spray tans and offers girls night out events.

Petrowski continues to stock apparel at fitness studios in Carmel and Westfield and teaches cardio drumming at IMX Studio in the Village of West Clay. But helping clients and

personal store interaction are what she enjoys.

Petrowski created the store eight years ago to bring the “street-tostudio” concept locally so women can easily go from exercise sessions to other activities by throwing on a jacket or different shoes.

Although her clothes are active wear, Petrowski said they are suitable for many occcasions.

“One person’s active isn’t another’s,” she said. “I think we’re all active in a sense.”

In October, she launched the Core Box, a personal styling option that arrives by mail.

“Basically, I just put outfits together catered to each person,” Petrowski said.

Petrowski ships a box of individual clothing items or outfits that can be tried and returned with feedback if they don’t meet the customers’ needs.

Green Apple Lifestyle Boutique is open Wednesday through Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Monday and Tuesday by appointment.

Beasley pays tribute to Thelonious Monk with Palladium show

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Jazz pianist John Beasley has been celebrating Thelonious Monk’s music for the past several years. concert So it’s only fitting he would take his MONK’estra out to celebrate the late Monk’s 100th birthday. Monk, who died in 1982, was born Oct. 10, 1917. Coincidentally, Beasley was born on the same day in 1960.

The band began touring in October and will continue this year. Beasley and his 15-piece band will perform at 8 p.m. Jan. 20 at The Palladium.

The Palladium appearance will be the band’s second of 2018. The MONK’estra will perform Jan. 19 at Purdue Jazz Festival in West Lafayette.

“His music is inherently rhythmic and funky,” Beasley said. “A lot of times jazz is very heavy and sort of cerebral. This is jazz that can make you feel like you are moving again. You can groove to it, and also it’s a bit thoughtful. It’s a wide-open framework to where I can kind of put my own personality in it.”

“MONK’estra Vol. 1 and 2” each earned

two Grammy nominations for Best Large Jazz Ensemble and Best Arranging Instrumental.

“It’s a spectacle because it’s exciting to see all those guys improvising together and playing together,” Beasley said.

Beasley said the 90-minute set is completely Monk music with 10 or 11 pieces.

“We’ll start out with a setlist, but sometimes if I feel like we need a more uptempo tune next, or if they are feeling funky, we’ll play more funky tunes,” Beasley said. “It’s open-ended. That is what jazz is about, anyway. It’s sort of communal, social music. You read the vibe of the crowd and change it up. You try to get people on their feet, snapping fingers a bit. We can change the music every night, which is really a lot of fun.”

Beasley said the show might introduce younger jazz fans to Monk’s music.

“To the older fans of his music, this is a new journey with it,” Beasley said. “The thing about Monk is he is the secondmost recorded jazz composer behind Duke Ellington, but the difference is he did it with 60 or 70 songs while Ellington had like 3,000 songs or something. With that limited amount of output as a com-

poser, that’s saying a lot.”

Beasley, who is based in Hollywood, said playing Monk songs started with some friends playing his arrangements.

“We booked a little club in L.A. and people responded and wanted more,” Beasley said. “It’s taken on this life of its own.”

Beasley played at the Jazz Kitchen in Indianapolis the last two summers.

“I’ve made friends and they’ve all told me how beautiful this (Palladium is) with a nice sound,” Beasley said. “His music is very pliable and very rhythmic. I just kept wanting to write and people kept wanting to listen. Here we are, two records and four Grammy nominations later, it’s kind of one of life’s beautiful accidents, in a way.”

Beasley has performed or recorded with artists such as Miles Davis, Freddie Hubbard, Steely Dan, Sergio Mendes and Herbie Hancock. He also has composed or performed music for TV shows and movies.

CCP presents dark comedy

By Renee Larr • editorial@youarecurrent.com The holidays can bring out the best and the worst in any family. Carmel Community Players is exploring one Palm theater Springs family and the lies, deception, addiction and depression ensnarling it in “Other Desert Cities,” Jan. 26 to Feb. 11 at Carmel Community Playhouse, 14299 Clay Terrace Blvd.

Brooke Wyeth returns home for Christmas 2004 with news she is writing a memoir exposing a wealthy California family’s secret.

“It’s a homecoming to Palm Desert. Polly and Lyman Wyeth are the ultra-conservative parents of the Wyeth family,” said Risa Krauter, play producer. “Their children are coming home for Christmas, and their daughter announces she is writing a memoir. She’s about to expose a family secret the parents don’t want anyone to know about.”

The play was written by Jon Robin Baitz and debuted on Broadway in November 2011.

“This is an actor’s show. I had so many people audition for this show because it’s so well-known amongst actors,” said Jim

Marci Marcus is finding her first appearance in a non-musical to be theater interesting.

“I wanted to try a play. I thought it would give me something the musical didn’t give me (experience-wise),” MarMarcus cus said of performing in Christian Youth Theater’s “12 Angry Jurors.”

Marcus, an Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Middle School eighth-grader and Carmel resident, has been in CYT shows for three years. Marcus plays Juror No. 8, the holdout not willing to vote guilty.

The performances will be Jan. 19 to 21 and Jan. 26 to 28 at the Theater at the Fort in Lawrence. There will be nine performances with three different casts performing three shows each.

The story is based on the original play, “Twelve Angry Men.” This is the largest role Marcus has had and admitted learning all the lines is a chal-

lenging aspect.

“I think it’s hard to portray my character because she is gentle but also firm,” Marcus said.

Marcus said the play should resonate with audiences.

“I think people will think about it because it’s a social injustice,” Marcus said.

Carmel resident Katie Drake Merryman, 12, is playing the Juror No. 8 role in another cast. This is her first major role in a play. Michael Geary plays Juror No. 8 in the third cast.

Abigail Drake, a homeschooled sophomore from Westfield, portrays the foreman of the jury in “12 Angry Jurors.”

“Whenever someone asks me for a vote, they often say the same thing, and I have something different to say,” Drake said.

“So, it’s trying to sort out which line I say after a leading line. It’s fun because I get to handle the props, and I’m able to move around a little bit.”

Blueprint for Improvement: Zionsville kitchen made modern Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions

Before

Background Info: This home, built in the early 2000s, is in the Britney Chase neighborhood of Zionsville.

Although the home was in a great location, the homeowners desired a more modern and functional kitchen design.

The overall goal was to make the available space more useful for the homeowners while giving the kitchen a more modern look.

1. The biggest transformation came from replacing all of the cabinetry in the kitchen. By utilizing lighter colored cabinets with staggered heights, it makes the space appear much larger.

2. The new cabinetry has functional storage accessories, including a spice pull-out and a wine glass rack.

3. Modern accent tiles were added as a backsplash and the microwave was relocated to the island, making the stove a focal point of the space.

4. Changing the direction of the island and extending it created more countertop space for meal prep and casual dining.

5. Another major addition to the kitchen was a dry bar, which gave the homeowners even more storage space.

After

Before problems The original kitchen utilized dark materials, dating the space and also making it appear small. Although there was plenty of space in the kitchen, the overall layout of the space lacked functionality. Countertop space and storage was limited.

It’s all subjunctive Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Ruins of Ramesseum, near Luxor, Egypt. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Ramesseum: Temple for eternity Commentary by Don Knebel Ramses II, often considered the pharaoh of the Exodus, ruled Egypt for 66 years until his death in 1213 B.C. travel Called Ramses the Great for his extraordinary construction projects, his most important building did not last nearly as long as he had hoped.

Like other pharaohs, Ramses looked forward to being worshipped forever as a god. Early in his reign, Ramses began building his mortuary temple on the west bank of the Nile, southeast of the Valley of the Kings, where he would be entombed.

When completed, Ramses’ colonnaded temple covered more than 9 acres, making it the largest structure since the Pyramids of Giza, built 1,500 years earlier. At the entrance to the temple, named the “Temple of Millions of Years,” workers erected a 60foot monolithic statue of a seated Ramses, transported 170 miles from a quarry in Aswan. The temple’s walls were covered with hieroglyphs celebrating Ramses’ military triumphs. One scene commemorated Ramses’ raid of a city named Shalem, which many believe referred to Jerusalem. Grana-

ries near the temple stored a year’s supply of grain for 20,000 Egyptians.

In building his temple for eternity on the banks of the Nile, Ramses apparently did not anticipate the devastating effects of the river’s annual flooding. The temple, now known as the Ramesseum, fell into ruins well short of its expected million-year life.

Subsequent pharaohs scavenged the ruins for their own temples. First century Christians used what was left as a church, and the Ramesseum was eventually obscured by blowing sands. When the ruins were rediscovered during Napoleon’s invasion of Egypt in 1798, only a few pieces remained of Ramses’ colossal statue, considered the largest ever erected.

Although Ramses’ temple did not last forever, his genetic legacy probably will.

Ramses is the eighth-most prolific father in history, siring 162 children.

Let’s go back in time for a minute. It’s summer, 1995. Skee-Lo’s hip-hop smash hit “I Wish” is blargrammar guy ing in my ear from one earbud of a shared Sony Discman sporting fresh batteries. My friend Cody has the other earbud. We’re riding in the back seat of Cody’s parents’ car en route to Sweetwater, Texas, for someone’s wedding.

I was invited along with the simple hope of splashing around in the hotel pool at Sweetwater’s Holiday Inn. When we got there, we immediately found the pool empty. Our dreams were shattered.

We found ourselves in the middle of nowhere with a cowboy wedding to attend and a hotel pool sans water.

So we had nothing better to do but to memorize each word to Skee-Lo’s Grammy-nominated song about wishing he were a little bit taller as well as wishing he were a baller.

It breaks my heart to look back on this fond memory because Skee-Lo’s grammar was wrong. You see, Skee-Lo was exploring a condition that was contrary

to fact; he was pondering a hypothetical situation and expressing a wish. He was using the subjunctive mood. So, instead of singing, “I wish I was a little bit taller,” he should have sung, “I wish I were a little bit taller.”

Contrast Skee-Lo with Beyoncé, who nails it when she sings, “If I were a boy.”

In both Skee-Lo’s wish to be taller and Queen B’s hypothetical exploration of being male, the sentences should use were because they aren’t true. Some telltale signs of when it’s time to use the subjunctive verb form include sentences starting with “If” or when you see the verb followed closely by “would” or “could.”

Although subjunctive verbs expand far beyond was/were, the examples containing was/were are my favorite. All I know is if I were in charge of an East Texas hotel in the summer, I’d make sure the pool had water in it.
