Pulte project moves forward with no recommendation from plan commission

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com With eight advisory plan commission members present at the Feb. 6 meeting, the decision of whether to move the development Wood Wind Planned Unit Development forward to council with a positive or negative recommendation was split, 4-4.

Because four APC members voted for moving it forward with a negative recommendation, and four members voted for moving it forward with a positive one, the proposal moves on to city council with no recommendation from the commission.

This was the fifth time Wood Wind appeared before the plan commission, including two public hearings. Originally, the plan commission was going to vote to move the development forward to council at its Jan. 20 meeting, but members had enough concerns to delay the vote a few more weeks.

During that time period, the proposal underwent changes, which were presented at the Feb. 6 meeting by David Compton, vice president of land acquisition for Pulte Homes Indiana.

Changes included a 50-year deed restriction on Wood Wind Golf Course instead of the original 40-year deed; minimum and maximum square footage requirements for the 224 apartments; the elimination of a gas station, amphitheater or dance club in the commercial area; the determination that Pulte will not cast any votes if the golf course is to be modified; higher

The units in the area have been reduced to 224, minimum and maximum square footage has been set and the ground must be transferred to an apartment developer within three years from the development’s effective date.

architectural standards and more.

Also, three years after the PUD goes into effect, if the apartment ground has not been transferred to an apartment developer not related to the seller, the ability to develop multifamily units in the development goes away and the multi-family area becomes a flex area for either commercial or residential.

Presented at the Jan. 20 plan commission meeting, Compton told members that 69 of the development’s homes are required to be custom homes not built by Pulte.

“Thank you for all that have been involved in the substantial changes that have been made since the original filing,” Compton said. “Not everyone in this room may always agree, but this project has 78 of the 85 criteria in the 2007 comprehensive plan. Those not embodied in the plan were considered subjective.”

Dr. Ginny Kelleher, a new member of the APC, thought the remaining seven criteria were

equally important.

“I have never felt this was consistent with the comprehensive plan,” Kelleher said. “There are some issues that are still outstanding. It still has some significant issues. I think it is better than it was, but better than it was doesn’t mean it’s good enough yet or that it meets our comprehensive plan. I think this is not the project that should be here.”

Plan commission members Steve Hoover, Bob Horkay, Andre Maue and Randy Graham voted to forward the proposal onto council with a positive recommendation. Members Kelleher, Chris Woodard, Dave Schmitz and Tom Smith voted to move the proposal forward with a negative recommendation.

Member Bob Smith was absent but sent a public letter expressing his concern. If he had been present, Smith also would’ve voted no, which would have forwarded the proposal to council with a negative recommendation.

Jonathan Byrd’s no longer at events center

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com After only a few months in business, Jonathan Byrd’s has pulled out of Grand Park. The restaurant occupied the first business and second level of the Grand Park Event Center and offered a variety of options such as concessions and more substantial meals for guests between games.

The upper space has been leased by West-

field Restaurant Group LLC, owned by Birch Dalton and Bob Taylor, and Urick Concessions has taken over the concessions. “(Jonathan Byrd’s) are no longer operating the restauMurphy rant out of the events center.

We are speaking to investors and operators to turn it into more of a food

Murphy said the deal with Westfield Restaurant Group came about very quickly and that a short-term agreement has been established as the parties work toward a long-term agreement.

Representatives from Westfield Restaurant Group and Jonathan Byrd’s could not be reached as of press time.

Survivor to speak on cancer

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Sonya Evans remembers that when she was in the throes of breast cancer, the Indiana Women in Need founfundraiser dation provided a helping hand in terms of money for food. The foundation provided Evans with $500 toward groceries.

Now, two years later and having beat cancer, the Westfield resident will speak at IWIN’s popular Pink Pajama Party, sharing her experience with the foundation and memories of her mother.

“The gist of my (speech) is telling my story of how when I was 8 years old, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer and then went through that for about six years and then passed away from that when I was 14,” Evans said. “Fast forward to these years, and now I’m married and a mom with three kids, and I was diagnosed with breast cancer at the same age as she was. I will just be talking about that and some similarities. Now I’m a mom, so I can kind of relate to my mom a little bit and how she was feeling and getting through everything with my kids and my family and husband.”

ZPD officer fulfills lifelong wish to work alongside police dog

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com

For as long as he can remember, Westfield resident Josh Stutesman has had one very specific career goal. public safety “I always did want to be a police officer and a K-9 officer,” Stutesman said. “I’ve always had dogs my whole life. Knowing what they’re capable of and how they can definitely do more than what humans can do, which makes this a safer community, is what I wanted to do.”

Stutesman has been an officer with the Zionsville Police Dept. for six years, but in August 2016 he finally got to fulfill his dream of working with a police dog. Jelka, a nearly 2-year-old Belgian Malinois, joined ZPD after six weeks of training at Vohne Liche Kennels in Denver, Ind. Vohne Liche specializes in training social police dogs and has worked with the National Security Agency, Pentagon Police U.S., U.S. Army and some of the nation’s biggest police departments.

Jelka was born in Sweden and received specialized training before being matched with Stutesman, so his six weeks of training consisted of bonding with the dog and learning how to communicate with her – in Dutch. The trainer who worked with her as a puppy used Dutch commands, and Stutesman said it’s easier to teach humans a few Dutch words than to reteach a dog all of its commands in English.

He also learned that the key to communication isn’t always what he says, but how he says it. Jelka is trained to react to situations in part by the tone of voice Stutesman uses.

“We actually had to go through two days of training to do the high-pitched voice, because as a cop you don’t want to sound like a Disney

ZPD Officer Josh Stutesman hugs Jelka, his K-9 partner. (Photo by Ann Marie Shambaugh)

character, but we had to get used to that so she realizes, ‘OK, dad’s happy now,’” he said.

“If we go into the pirate voice, the deeper, almost like a cold type of voice, she knows that daddy’s on edge and that she needs to go to work and watch out.”

Jelka is trained to chase down suspects, search for lost children and sniff out drugs, among other things. Stutesman said she’s already helped police discover illegal substances on several occasions.

home life Jelka accompanies ZPD officer Josh Stutesman when he’s on duty, typically 6 p.m. to 6 a.m., but she’s also become a member of his family.

Stutesman, his wife and their toy poodle, Ruthie, live in Westfield and were all eager to welcome Jelka into their home.

Although Jelka is the canine with advanced training, she defers to Ruthie when they are together.

“Ruthie’s a nine-pound terror of the house, and Jelka knows it,” Stutesman said.

A rendering of the completed riparian corridor.

(Submitted image)

Grand Junction Plaza finishes first phase, to begin second

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Westfield residents now have a visual aid that portrays the true image of Grand Junction Plaza. Nestled under the new Mill Street expansion, Indiana limestone cover story flanks cement walkways – an example of architectural materials that will soon encompass the entire park.

Three j-hooks, erosion control measures when coupled with the Mill Street expansion laid the foundation of the $25 million plaza, have recently been completed.

“It’s an erosion control measure that slows down velocity,” Public Works Director Lollar Jeremy Lollar said of the j-hooks. “It’s open underneath, and there’s a walkway that’s down there that will extend up into the park. This walkway is in place and enters into the park.”

With the now free-flowing Mill Street, Lollar said traffic has improved. The street expansion connects Union Street to Ind. 32. Park Street access is no longer available from Union Street.

For aesthetics, hand rails and outlooks have been placed along the Mill Street bridge that will provide a panoramic view of the park. Lollar said that other than some landscaping work along Mill Street to be completed in the spring, the first phase of the project is virtually complete.

Next steps for the Public Works Dept. will continue this year,

with the beginning of the riparian corridor, which widens the creek’s footprint for aesthetics and erosion control.

“Our next step is planned for this year, which is the stream work,” Lollar said. “Right now, these three j-hooks were installed with Mill Street, but we will take them the rest of the way through. We haven’t finished the design, but they will be more of the same. It widens the footprint of the creek as well, which is the flood control aspect of it.”

The Mill Street projects and the riparian corridor are funded through the Public Works budget, with a cost of just more than $3 million. All park structures, such as the amphitheater, the ice rink, the trailhead pavilion, the two playground structures and the café, will be included in the $25 million cost the city is

evaluating how to fund.

Although construction and pedestrian bridges won’t begin until next year, residents can get a taste of the park’s aesthetic by admiring the limestone walls beneath Mill Street.

Limestone will be used throughout the park, a nod to Indiana’s natural and abundant material.

“The park design is one of the central focuses of Indiana, which was Indiana limestone,” Lollar said. “That’s why we incorporated it throughout the park. That aspect of the j-hooks is because of Grand Junction and our concept there. Truly, limestone is readily available. It’s cheap here because we have lots of it, there’s ease of access, and it looks nice. It’s a costeffective, aesthetic measure.”

Although the Public Works Dept. project funding comes from the utility sale in March 2014, the city is still attempting to determine a way to fund the rest of the plaza.

“Grand Junction will be the jewel of Westfield once it is complete. However, it will be a long process because we are strategically planning our funding of the entire project very carefully,” Mayor Andy Cook stated in an email to Current. “While the first two phases have allocated dollars through Public Works, the final phase has not been determined. The (Westfield) City Council and the administration will take their time to figure out the right way to finance Grand Junction, but they believe in the process and the project enough that Grand Junction has already begun with the first two phases.”

For more, visit westfield.in.gov/department/division. php?structureid=261.

Based on a Jeffersonian Grid The four structures spread throughout Grand Junction Park and Plaza will feature translucent glass and jagged, pixelated limestone. The design for the structures is based on the Jeffersonian Grid, an architectural method popular in Indiana.

Placed together, the structures create a smooth block.

“We wanted to incorporate that Indiana limestone, and the idea of this concept is it is this cube, and the buildings are blown apart and broken out into (four

separate) pieces,” Public Works Director Jeremy Lollar said.

The four structures include the amphitheater, the trailhead pavilion, the café, the skating rental and two playground structures, which were originally planned as a restaurant.

“We removed (the restaurant) for cost measure as well as incorporate daily use play type stuff,” Lollar said.

The Jeffersonian Grid is an architectural concept used to design the five structures in Grand Junction Park and Plaza. (Submitted photos)

This could come as a surprise to many among the readership, but we actually talk and sometimes debate about what to write for the next edition.

It should be of absolutely no surprise that we’re conservatives, but not Republicans.

Lately, given our leanings (not spewing hate, as some state in emails to us), feathers have become ruffled. That wasn’t the goal. The objective was and is to encourage discussion on any number of points. This is neither an apology for anything you have read in this space nor is it a condemnation of viewpoints counter to ours. Previously, we have made the offer to those whose views differ from ours to write their own piece in this space.

We meant it, and we still mean it. It absolutely will be printed, as long as it remains G-rated, and it only will be edited for editorial style, grammar and spelling; never would the tenor of the writing be changed. We recognize our communities are evolving, that this swath of Indiana no longer is fully Republican Central, and so the door still is open to anyone that wishes to share his or her views. Anyone. We will offer this warning, however: This column holds “approximately” 279 words. Writing for this space sometimes can be an arduous exercise of heavy selfediting required. In all sincerity, if you wish to join us, welcome aboard!

Food for thought

Commentary by Terry Anker

Food – we eat it every day and yet most of us know precious little about it. In my younger years, we grew and maintained a garden. Actually, it was a reasonably sizeable one.

My city girl-bride was charmed by the notion of harvesting our own fruits and vegetables. We ate all we could and would often preserve by canning the rest. Through the years, we became most pleased with our salsa. It was tangy and unique. In a day when Chi-Chi’s dominated our collective notion of it, ours was a something, as Monty Python’s troop might say, entirely different.

But as with many good things, life got in the way. Spraying and fertilizing a pair of juvenile apple trees to make a tasty applesauce gave way to the lure of a quick pop of the lid of the Gerber baby food jar to feed our hungry young ones. Convenience overwhelmed good intentions. Family held onto the old ways as mom continued to make

homemade applesauce long after we’d given up the pressure cooker. But eventually, we all came to accept store-bought as a fixture of our modern and more urban lives.

It is rightly said, “All things old are new again.” Earlier this year, I was encouraged to join a young, and way-more-hip, friend to take a class on canning. Deciding simple best, I stuck with pickled green beans – perfect for a game-day Bloody Mary. The result was sublime – not that the outcome was remarkable, but I was reminded of the connection between our food and us. Our Hoosier State is rife with innovation in agriculture. Today, tall buildings house indoor vertical farms, and plants grow with innate insect resistance. Maybe it is time to learn a bit more. Maybe, it is time to plant again.

As I approach my 10-year anniversary with Current, I’ll be sharing some of my most “famous” columns. Here’s the humor one that forever changed my spouse’s identity: Pardon me, but my Kentucky is showing.

Over the weekend, as I lay in bed, I heard what sounded like a small critter shuffling behind me. My first thought was “squirrel in the chimney,” but as the scratching shifted, I knew it had to be the attic. I went to fetch my man, who will heretofore be called “Doo” in reference to Loretta Lynn’s husband.

Doo confirmed that something was definitely up there, but said not to fret. I managed to fall asleep until more creepy pawing awoken me. Dang nabbit! I went outside to take a gander, but couldn’t see nothing.’ Then a demon with two pointy ears came into focus on the roofline, and I, naturally, hightailed it to safety.

At first light, Doo and his trusty broom discovered our perp, a big mother of a raccoon. He tried to scare the varmint onto the roof, but no good. The coon hunkered down between the joists. “I’ll be back,” Doo shouted, as he sped off in his truck.

Now armed with a pellet gun, Doo returned to the attic, ready to go all “Deliverance” on the critter. From the front yard, I heard pop! pop! and then Doo hollerin’, “I got him!” Though we couldn’t find a body, we claimed victory.

That night, however, our worst nightmare was confirmed. The dern raccoon was alive!

So Doo again grabbed his gun and headed into the fray, while I sprinted outside. As I stood barefoot in a bathrobe, Doo bounded from the door in nothin’ but a pair of cut-offs, yellin’ he’d finally nailed the sucker.

How Butcher Holler is that? Me and Doo, half naked at midnight, trying to kill a coon with a shotgun?

Peace out, y’all.

Spread the word on condiments Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Condiments are a male thing. You never hear a man say to his wife, “Golly, with all that ketchup on your burger, sweethumor heart, you can’t possibly appreciate the fine texture and flavor of the grain-fed beef.” Women are more apt to say, “If you put ketchup on my pot roast, I will rip your ruby red tongue right out of your mouth.”

I don’t want to brag, but I have improved just about every dinner my wife has ever prepared by carefully adding the appropriate condiment. What would her chicken marsala be like without mayonnaise? Uneventful, that’s what. How would her beef bourguignon taste without mustard? I shudder to think. Veal Oscar without horseradish sauce? Lifeless. What do I say to my wife if dinner is a bit lacking?

“My condiments to the chef.”

Here’s some final advice on condiments: 1. You can leave mustard and ketchup on your dining room table overnight. Don’t do this with mayonnaise. There is an entire cemetery in Brooklyn, New York, filled with men who hid a pastrami sandwich under the bed, forgetting that Russian dressing is half mayonnaise.

2. Always put mustard in between the

meats on the bread. Mayonnaise, however, needs to go on top of the meat. Ketchup can go either way. Never apply condiments directly to the bread. This information is the result of a grant by the United States government to a national taste-testing institute. Finally, tax money well spent.

3. Turn upside down and shake all plastic bottles vigorously before squeezing. Otherwise, the bottle will make an embarrassing sound. Or, if you want a laugh from your kids or grandkids, just say “excuse me” after it squirts. It’s foolproof.

4. Mayonnaise belongs in a jar. Buying mayonnaise in a plastic squeeze bottle would be like buying whipped cream in a box. The manufacturers should be arrested. Where is the FBI when you really need them?

Finally, it’s important that parents teach their kids about ketchup, mayonnaise and mustard at home. I don’t want the public school system passing out condiments in the cafeteria.

IU Health to celebrate National Heart Month with art events

By Heather Collins news@currentinwestfield.com

IU Health will host the first “Create a Happy Heart” event in Fishers and Carmel this month as part of IU Health’s annual celebration of National family fun Heart Month.

Artist Tanya Roberts will guide attendees through creating their own “Happy Heart” paintings on canvas. All supplies will be provided by IU Health.

At the end of the evening, participants will be able to take their “Happy Heart” Harlamert home.

“We wanted to create a fun, relaxed event where people could come and learn about making their heart healthy,” said Sheri Acquisto, senior marketing associate for the Indy Suburban Hospitals with IU Health.

During the event, cardiologists Dr. Edward Harlamert and Dr. Mark Fisch will offer simple steps that anyone can take to maintain

good heart health.

According to Acquisto, IU Health wanted to create an interactive community event for people to learn easy tips for a healthy heart in a fun atmosphere.

“Creating a healthy heart shouldn’t be intimidating,” Acquisto said.

The Fishers “Create a Happy Heart’ event will be held from 6-8 p.m. Feb. 16 at IU Health Saxony Hospital, at 13000 E. 136th St. The Carmel event will be held from 6-8 p.m. Feb. 23 at IU Health North, at 11700 North Meridian.

Heart-healthy appetizers and beverages will be Fisch provided.

Dispatches Pediatric myths and facts — Riverview Health will host a pediatric myths and facts seminar from 6 to 7 p.m. Feb. 16 at Riverview Health in the Krieg DeVault Conference Room. Dr. Evan Kreutzer will help parents navigate through the most common pediatric myths and misconceptions such as, “Can sugar cause hyperactivity?” or “Will the flu shot make my child sick?” A light dinner will be served. The program is free, but registration is required. Register at riverview.org/classes or call 317-776-7999.

Burning body fat — Although walking may seem like a relatively easy way to exercise, studies are showing that it is also a very effective way to burn fat. You will burn more calories per minute with more intense forms of exercise, but some of those calories come from non-fat sources in your body, such as sugars and proteins. Low intensity cardio, like walking, starts burning fat immediately.

Intermittent fasting — One of the most sacred diet rules is to never skip breakfast because it gives you fuel for the day. Recent research is challenging this thinking, however. Intermittent fasting is a trend that has been around for years, but is now being backed up by research. The idea is to contain all your eating into a few hours of the day. One way to accomplish this is to make lunch the first meal of the day, then get all your calories between lunch and dinner.

Noblesville’s Boice sisters take the stage at Beef & Boards Submitted content courtesy of Beef & Boards For two sisters from Noblesville, stepping on the stage is something that’s both familiar and fun. Ali and Kate Boice already have established resumes at the Theater young ages of 11 and 9, respectively, and they are adding a new performing credit this month with the production of “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre.

The Boice sisters will perform in the second of three children’s choirs for the show. Theirs, the “Red Choir,” is featured in the performances from Feb. 21 through March 8.

But it’s not the first time the daughters of Mark and Kristen Boice have shared a stage.

“They truly enjoy sharing in the same love of theater and being in the same shows at the same time,” Kristen said.

The girls kicked up their heels together last summer in Stonesoup’s production of “Oklahoma!” with Ali in the role of Ado Annie and Kate in the chorus playing Vivian. In the summer of 2015, Ali and Kate were the Sour Kangaroo and Young Kangaroo, respectively, in “Seussical Jr.” with Stonesoup. They also performed in The Belfry’s production of “A Christmas Carol The Musical” in December of that year. Ali’s portrayal of Tiny Tim earned her an ENCORE nomination for “Best Performer Under the Age of 18 in a Musical.”

“They also like having some shows to themselves,” Kris-

Ali and Kate Boice will perform in the children’s choir for “Joseph.”

ten said.

This happened last spring at Christian Youth Theater, when Ali was in the chorus of “Mary Poppins” and Kate played May Belle in “Bridge to Terabithia.”

“I love to be on stage because I feel alive when I’m on stage,” Ali, a fifth-grader at Legacy Christian School, said.

The girls agree that memorizing their lines is the most challenging part of being in a show.

“I love being different characters, memorizing lines and meeting new actors and actresses,” said Kate, a thirdgrader at Hinkle Creek Elementary School.

For more, visit beefandboards.com. “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” is sponsored in part by Current Publishing.

Christ in the Arts — First Presbyterian Church in Noblesville has added an additional music program to its ministry. In 2015, Michael Davis, FPC music director, wanted to share the church’s sanctuary (and beautiful music venue) with others in the community outside the immediate congregation and provide high-quality musical performances free to the public. Davis also is the assistant artistic director of the Indianapolis Symphonic Choir and is surrounded by talented musicians inside and outside the congregation. Thus,Christ in the Arts was born. Vivaldi’s «Gloria» in May 2015 was the first Christ in the Arts performance and in November, Gabriel Faure’s «Op 48 Requiem» was performed. The FPC Chancel choir, Christ in the Arts Festival orchestra and featured soloists have been a part of both performances. In January, FPC partnered with Nickel Plate Arts and became part of the Hamilton County Cultural Arts district. At 4 p.m., Feb. 26, Christ is the Arts will present a Pipe Organ Concert featuring organists Cheryl Mayhew, Clarice Stegall and Aaron Kemp showcasing their various musical styles. Along with the organ concert, the church will host an art exhibition featuring local Hamilton County artists. This is a free event and child care will be provided. For more, visit fpc-noblesville.org.

‘Pinkalicious’ hits B&B stage

16 1 7

By Zach Dunkin • news@currentinwestield.com While the many hues of “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” are being celebrated nightly on the Beef theater & Boards Dinner Theatre stage, the mood changes to all things pink on Friday and Saturday mornings and afternoons when the Pyramid Players present “Pinkalicious the Musical” Feb. 17 through March 18.

The musical, which has played off-Broadway since 2007 and throughout the U.S., draws a young, mostly preteen female audience (although boys are welcome) that shows up in their very best pink attire.

“It’s a sea of kids in pink,” said Danny Kingston, a 2006 Westfield High School graduate. “It’s adorable. And in the show I get to sing to boys that it’s OK to like the color pink, too.”

The musical is based on the “Pinkalicious” book series written and illustrated by sisters Elizabeth and Victoria Kann. The stories center on a girl named Pinkalicious, who, as her name implies, is obsessed with all things pink, whether they are at school, home or outdoors.

After over-indulging in pink cupcakes, Pinkalicious, played by Jaddy Ciucci, wakes up

Blueprint for Improvement: Maximizing bathroom space Commentary by Larry Greene

Before Background Info: This Geist home in the Beam Reach neighborhood of Indianapolis had unique features that were no longer functional. Also, the original 1980s aesthetics did not align with the owners’ personal style and overall vision for their home.

Before problems: Before the renovation, the bathroom was dark, outdated and confining. For the amount of square footage in the master ensuite, there was too much wasted space because of a large recessed hot tub and chopped up functions in separate areas. In addition, the shower was too small, and the ensuite lacked sufficient vanity and closet storage.

After

After solutions: The goal for this master ensuite was to maximize the usable space for each separate function, while coordinating with the aesthetics of the adjacent master bedroom.

1. Multiple walls were relocated to reconfigure the bathroom and closet spaces. This allowed for the closet, vanity and shower spaces to all double in size.

2. The new double-sink vanity has a significant amount of additional storage, including two tower cabinets that contain outlets inside for hiding small bathroom appliances. The beautiful cherry-stained cabinets and unique marble countertops are the focal point of the room and coordinate seamlessly with the finishes of the adjacent master bedroom.

3. A clear, frameless glass shower surround gives an open, bright feel to the new, larger shower. It also accommodates a corner seat, and two recessed storage niches, convenient for holding personal care items.

4. A new heated floor system with a programmable thermostat is a hidden feature that adds an additional level of comfort.

A former military town 40 miles northwest of Prague played a bit part in the events of World War I. It played a much travel more sinister role in the horrors of World War II. In 1780, Habsburg Emperor Joseph II built a citadel (Small Fortress) on the east side of the Ohře River and a walled town (Main Fortress) across the river for his troops. Joseph named the area Terezin in honor of his mother, Maria Theresa. The Small Fortress eventually imprisoned Gavrilo Princip, whose assassination of Archduke Ferdinand in Sarajevo helped ignite World War I. In 1940, after occupying Czechoslovakia, Hitler began using the Small Fortress as a concentration camp for Jews rounded up in nearby areas. As it did in other camps, the Gestapo posted “Arbeit Macht Frei” at the prison entrance. The slogan, meaning “Work Sets You Free,” was a cruel hoax. Most of the Jews brought to Terezin were destined for the death camps of Auschwitz-Birkenau and Treblinka. In late 1941, the Germans evicted

the non-Jewish residents from the Main Fortress, which they called Theresienstadt, and converted the town into a ghetto. Terezin, built for a population of 5,000, eventually held 55,000 Jews. In 1942, a crematorium was built near the severely overcrowded town to accommodate the dozens of people who died every day from starvation and disease. Others were shot for trivial offenses.

By the time Terezin was liberated by the Allies on May 9, 1945, about 150,000 Jews had been sent there. About 33,000 of them died at Terezin and about 90,000 more were sent on to be killed. Today, the Small Fortress, returned to its wartime condition, is maintained as a memorial to the victims. A small museum in the Main Fortress displays drawings of the children who lived there before being shipped off to their deaths.

Dispatches Raw or cooked? — Most people think eating raw veggies is always best. But certain vegetables are actually made healthier by cooking. Here are some: 1. Tomatoes – cooking releases more lycopene, a known cancer fighter 2. Mushrooms – heat destroys some toxins that can be found in mushrooms 3. Carrots, bell peppers – heat releases some of their nutrients However, light cooking is best. Too much heat can destroy most of the nutrients in the veggies.

Coconut oil — Coconut oil may be one of the latest fads in health and beauty, but it’s really not new. Hollywood star Mae West used it daily as a facial moisturizer to give her skin a youthful glow.

Buttered coffee? — If you typically drink coffee before a workout, try this.

Blend one cup hot coffee with one tablespoon unsalted grass-fed butter and one tablespoon coconut oil for ten seconds.

Drink in place of breakfast. This slows the absorption of the caffeine in the coffee and helps boost your workout.
