Luedke launches charity organization

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Hailing from Texas, where National Charity Leagues that united mothers and daughters in community service giving back were prevalent, Westfield resident Christi Luedke was disappointed to learn there weren’t any National Charity Leagues in Indiana.

As her daughter is in seventh grade, prime time to join the charity with her mother as her pair, Luedke decided to take matters into her own hands.

“National Charity League itself is a nationwide organization for mothers and daughters that provides opportunities for community service, leadership development and cultural experiences,” Luedke said. The daughters join in seventh grade and are put on a six-year plan with their mothers to continue the service through their middle and high school year.

The Crossroads Chapter of the National Charity League held its formation meeting earlier last month at Westfield High School. So far, 30 mother-daughter pairs have signed up from across Hamilton Co., and one partnership is from Zionsville.

“As the community service aspect, we select and vote on which charities and philanthropic organizations we want to work with,” Luedke

(Submitted photo)

said. “Within those organizations, we want to impact our local community and work within that.”

So far, the Crossroads Chapter has made plans with the Heart and Soul Clinic and a local senior center. The members will also be working with Gleaner’s Food Bank and Wheeler Mission for Women downtown.

Membership opportunities are still available for mother-daughter partnerships through the end of March. After that, Luedke will close the memberships to focus on the current members.

Next year, the chapter will begin recruiting from sixth grade girls going into seventh grade.

“Each year is focused on an aspect of leadership growth and empowering young girls to become strong independent women,” Luedke said. “As well as that, we want to enhance lives culturally and we do that through going to different events, exposing the girls to different types of cultures, good old fashioned etiquette and those types of things.”

For those interested in becoming a member, email membership.crossroadsncl@gmail.com.

Solar lights installed downtown news@currentinwestfield.com Three, 240-watt solar streetlights were installed at Park and Mill Streets’ public parking lot last month to eliminate a carbon footprint.

ClearWorld, a solar and batteryCity news powered streetlights business, based out of New Orleans, La. partnered with the City of Westfield for the installation of ClearWorld’s RetroFlex Units in part with a pilot program.

The lights are not affected by flooding or extreme temperatures, can withstand wind up to 150 mph and can last up to approximately three weeks with clouds and rain every day, and up to eight days in no sun.

“Due to the increased pedestrian and vehicular traffic in this area over the last few years, we wanted to make sure people had a safe environment

in which to park and walk to their favorite Westfield restaurants,” Director of Public Works Jeremy Lollar stated in a press release.

The environmentally friendly lights will provide energy savings for the city and are equipped with software to notify city officials of maintenance and performance, as well as monitoring the light usage and providing on/off powering and dimming capabilities.

“Westfield is joining the clean energy revolution through its partnership with ClearWorld, who is very proud to be part of this venture” stated Larry Tittle, president of ClearWorld. “The more the City of Westfield explores, the more they will see that some of the solutions that we are providing will help them achieve their goals of becoming independent from traditional forms of energy.”

WHS grad fundraises at Ball State

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Dani Staley has been a part of Relay for Life since she was in fifth grade. She said cancer has always been a part of her life. Her first experience was when her cancer aunt was diagnosed with colon cancer.

“Throughout school, I always came in contact with people battling cancer, whether it was our school nurse or family friends and parents and all types of different people,” the 2013 Westfield High School graduate said. “So that’s really what kept me relaying is seeing all of the different people that have come in contact with cancer.”

Yet last year, cancer hit a bit harder. Staley’s best friend, Katlyn Stevenson, also from Westfield, was diagnosed with adrenal cancer.

“I’ve really been trying to find ways to get more involved than I was, and a good way to do that would be to spread cancer awareness with college kids,” said Staley, who currently attends Ball State University. “My goal of the fundraiser is to raise research money for the American Cancer Society. The type of cancer my best friend has is so rare. It’s one in a million. The research aspect of ACS has really struck out to me in the last year.”

Staley is partnered with the A Capella group at BSU to provide a variety show that will feature dancers, magicians and other acts at 8 p.m. March 2 in Pruis Hall at Ball State, 2000 W. University Ave., Muncie.

“What better way to get young people involved in all the different relays across Indiana?” Staley said.

Tickets cost $3 at the door, and Staley said she hopes to sell 550 seats.

Custom Concrete receives award

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com After recently installing fitness equipment along the Monon near the Custom Concrete business, 17241 Foundation fitness Pkwy., Custom Concrete was nominated by Parks Director Melody Jones to be the recipient of the Greenways Foundation of Indiana Outstanding Corporation award.

The award ceremony was held at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Indianapolis Feb. 16.

“Last year we made three additions to the trail in close proximity to our business. There’s now a quarter of a mile stretch that we call the Custom Concrete healthy path, and we installed three fitness stations with various exercise and stretching equipment so our employees and the general public can utilize those fitness stations,” said Brad Schrock, Custom Concrete vice president. “One station is really unique. It’s designed to be handicap accessible. You can pull a wheelchair up to it and do various exercises all at different points.”

In addition to installing the fitness stations and receiving the Outstanding Corporation award, Custom Concrete was the recipient of Indiana’s Healthiest Employers award in 2015.

“We have an entire wellness program at Custom Concrete along with the existence of the trails,” Schrock said. “We want to promote a healthy lifestyle. We want for our company and community to take advantage of the great amenities we have here in Westfield.”

The Greenways Foundation of Indiana describes its Outstanding Corporation award on the website as “This award recognizes a private corporation in Indiana that has gone the extra mile to support trails and promote their use.”

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Three Westfield High School students don’t have to worry about ways to pay for college after receiving a scholarship full-ride scholarship to select universities because of the Western Golf Association’s Chick Evans Scholarship program.

Siblings Andrew and Megan Hedges of Sheridan and Ethan Parsley of Westfield began caddying at Wood Wind Golf Course in Westfield when they were 16.

After more than 400 hours of work, as well as having a Parsley financial need, maintaining a high GPA, being involved in after-school activities and completing an application process before speaking in front of 150 previous Evans Scholars did the Hedges twins and Parsley earn the scholarship.

“It’s not a program that a lot of people know about. My dad was an Evan’s Scholar, and that’s how we heard about it,” said Andrew, who plans on using his scholarship to go to Purdue for mechanical engineering. “Just seeing the success that he had made me

want to follow in his footsteps and have that same success, and I always dreamed of being an Evan’s Scholar.”

Megan plans to attend Indiana University for interior design.

“I’ve definitely become more outgoing and (more) able to speak with adults,” Megan said.

The twins participated in National Honor Society for their school activity.

Parsley was also a National Honor Society member and is involved in marching band, choir, track and cross country.

“It really taught me how to connect with people, any and all people,” said Parsley, who plans to attend IU as well, but hopes to get involved in the Kelley School of Business for business management. “It really taught me hard work and taught me a lot of patience.”

In addition to the scholarship, the caddies also get paid for their time on the golf course.

They have to complete one more summer of caddying.

Eleven high school seniors from Indiana were awarded the scholarship. For more, visit wgaesf.org.

Crooked Stick Golf Glub, where the students completed the last step of their interview process, will host the BMW Championship this year.

Fassnacht wins computer award

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

HELP US HELP YOU! This newspaper is for, by and about the community it serves.

Westfield High School junior Sami Fassnacht was recently honored as an Indiana winner for the NCWIT achievement Aspirations in Computing award, a national achievement. Fassnacht received the award with 23 other high school women from across the state.

“The award 1s for women in computing and technology,” Fassnacht said. “I had to discuss my experiences with technology, and I talked about my experience in AP Computer Science and my robotics team at the school.”

Along with a plaque for her award, Fassnacht received $250 dollars, WHS received a plaque, and she received small scholarships to colleges around the state. Despite those scholarships, Fassnacht said she hopes to get into Stanford for computer science.

The 16-year-old is involved in the school’s robotics club and attends summer camps about computer and technology.

“I love the challenge and the puzzle behind computer science. It’s so interesting to get a real-world problem and think of a practical and efficient solution,” Fassnacht said. “I think I would like to do something with robotics in

Hiatt recognized for service

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Donita Hiatt has done years of service in the community and at her church, and her husband, John, thought achievement it was about time she got recognized.

Throughout the years, Donita has taken care of preschoolers through the MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) program. She did plenty of counseling, and often coordinates all the dinners for group meetings or a family dinner.

On Feb. 14, Donita received The Susanna Wesley Award of Excellence in front of the entire congregation of Christ United Methodist Church.

“What I do right now is work within the church. I greet the new people coming into the church and see to it they seem welcome,” Donita said.

The Susanna Wesley Award of Excellence is said to be awarded to “women who continue the tradition of providing spiritual nurture to their family and who make contributions to the United Methodist Church and its witness around the world.”

“She helped make pillowcase dresses for children in Haiti,” John said. “She received the Melvin Jones award for dedicated humanity

service from the Westfield Lions Club in 2011.

They consider it the highest award in the Lions Club, it’s a national award.”

The Hiatts have fostered three children throughout the year and have four of their own. Donita has worked closely with United Methodist Women. Through her counseling, she saved the lives of two women planning suicidal actions.

Donita received a plaque for the award and her services.

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Young and successful residents or employees of Westfield have a network source to make friends or connect cover story with other citizens in Westfield Young Professionals, led by Joe VanDeusen, president since 2014.

“They’ve made a board member position for the president of WYP on the chamber so we didn’t use to have a voice and now we do at the top level,” said Elizabeth Bouse, vice president of the group. “Otherwise, it’s hard to get connected.”

Approximately 80 people follow the group, but not all attend every meeting. An average meeting consists of 15 people.

“A year ago, we only had seven members,” VanDeusen said. “It just keeps growing.”

The group increased their meetings from quarterly to monthly, and uses different local venues such as Rail Epicurean, Grand Junction Brewery and 21st Amendment.

Currently, the events are just a social meetup to allow for millennial aged professionals that live or work in the city to network with each other and meet people.

“At some point, we want to incorporate some kind of business lunch-and-learns or something that would add professional value instead of networking,” VanDeusen said.

Member Jack Russell said different WYP events attract different members.

“Some people may like going to Grand Junction versus the Rail,” he said. “We’ve had so many people that wanted to get more involved and wanted us to do more things so we now meet the first Thursday of every month.”

WYP is operated mainly through its Facebook page, Westfield Young Professionals.

“Last year we didn’t have that many events, and we have at least doubled it for 2016 because we wanted to get a base of people and find out what things people really like,” Bouse said. “A lot of it was social last year, and this year it will be social, but people will also be learning things.”

Members or those in attendance at the social gatherings are able to speak to the group about what they do. The group refers to

chamber of commerce members as “mentors.”

The mission of the group is to help people start businesses, exchange ideas and network, and to grow chamber membership and participate in community work.

“One of the things I’ve gotten out of it is a group of friends that I can learn about what they do and where they came from and grow off that,” Russell said. “We are creating our own network of business and friends inside Westfield. I wouldn’t have been friends with these people if I didn’t go out to the meetings.”

Many different careers are incorporated through the members of WYP. Bouse owns a chiropractic business in Westfield, and there

are other locals that have law businesses or live in the city and work in Indianapolis or other surrounding areas.

“We are learning about things in our community. We are all in different fields, and we can go out and learn about everybody,” Bouse said.

Westfield’s average age is 34, and those between ages 21 and 40 are welcome to the meeting, although the members joked that it’s not a hard line, and those “who feel 40 at heart can attend.”

WYP mostly supports local businesses and restaurants with their meetings, as they want the money spent in Westfield to stay in

Sub-par parenting

FR O M T HE BA C KSH O P

Apparently, it’s Trump’s to lose That sound you’re hearing is the Republican Establishment Machine frantically busying itself with wailing and gnashing of molars while trying to pool enough fiscal resources to get Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) or Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) into a position to derail Donald Trump (R-Billions). This run-up to the party’s nomination will be nothing short of pure entertainment. Trump, indeed, is to be taken extremely seriously in his candidacy. What we first mistakenly categorized as buffoonery months ago is proving to be quite the opposite. This is nowhere near an endorsement – we got out of that business long ago – but the fact that Cruz and Rubio are trailing significantly in polling is something that has the Makers of the Spineless (see George Bush the First) on edge. Stops? Expect them all to be pulled out by the Republican National Committee. This probably will be darned good theatre, much more entertaining than the last go-round between Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama - and that was a heck of a show! Still, if Trump garners victories in the majority of Super Tuesday races (that would be today, by the way), this thing could be over.

Concurrently, we’re also looking forward to Clinton (N.Y) and Bernie Sanders (Vt.) continuing to duke it out to see who can run the farthest on the yellow brick road to socialism; that would be the race for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination. As much as we wanted to see Gov. Chris Christie (R-N.J.) and Clinton battle it out in November – for entertainment purposes, if nothing else - we’re thinking Trump v. Clinton might have even more impact on national discourse.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Donner, party of 89 Commentary by Terry Anker Of all guests list we might like to make, the Donner Party is not one. Notorious for its admitted cannibalism, the group of would-be 1846 pioneers were led across the American west toward promised abundance in California by George and Tamsen Donner, an aging Missouri farm couple. As is often the case with our best-laid-plans, nasty weather, poor choices, and ill fortune conspired trapping the travelers in the Sierra Nevada mountains at the height of the winter storm season. Beleaguered and desperate, some turned to an apparent, if macabre, source of much needed calories – the dead or dying amongst themselves.

Retold in American high school history classes, the story is used to illustrate the spirit that drove folks, under risk of considerable peril, to move west and populate the largely then open land. But, Donner also is a cautionary tale of terrific hubris and misplaced trust.

Local Hoosier Karl Ahlrichs, a direct descendent of Donner, recently appeared in a

lengthy, nationally televised documentary retelling the account of the infamous wagon train. He talks insightfully of the qualities, good and bad, that inspire we humans to both to follow and, at times, to lead.

In the program one learns that fellow settler James Reed was the more qualified to head the expedition but lacked what today might be called “soft” skills. He was tough and single-minded while the notably more mature Donner was the more consensus driven and likable of the men. Reed was expelled along the route for killing another traveler in a fight. Against all odds, he vowed to return to his wife and young children. He did – all survived and went on to find success in California. Conversely, Donner, along with 40 others, succumbed on the trail. One wonders, when is grit required and when is it simply an abrasive?

Q U O T E O F T HE WEEK It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

– Harry S. Truman

It’s a good thing I’ve already won Mother of the Year (2002, NNMTC, thank you very much), because lately, I humor wouldn’t even earn a nomination. Read on for a tale of poor parenting at its finest.

Our youngest has been sick or injured for what seems like forever. So when she complained of ear pain last week, I wasn’t surprised, just annoyed, and found it hardpressed to give her any sympathy. After an hour visit to the Minute Clinic (what?), a double ear infection was confirmed. But since she wasn’t contagious or running a fever, I did what any sub-par parent would do: I drove her directly to a sleep-over.

(Curse those baby blues; they get me every time!) Not surprisingly, two evenings later, she was almost in tears from the pain and sporting a fever of 102. My husband and I then made another questionable decision when, the following day, we left her at home alone. In our defense, she is almost 12, and we did put grand-parental reinforcements on call. Stop judging!

Of course, by the time I returned from work, her fever had skyrocketed to 104.6.

Sweet Jesus! Naturally, she freaked out, and I calmly lied to her precious flushed face: “It’s normal. You’re fine.” Then I rushed upstairs and left a somewhatpanicked voicemail for the pediatrician. One hundred and four is high!

But here’s the best part: after I hung up, I jumped right into my car and drove to the gym. I abandoned my very sick child so I could work out. I know! Looking back, I can only attribute my monumentally bad judgement to the fact that she is child number four. I’ve pretty much seen it all.

And to my credit, when the nurse called back and said to take her to the ER if the fever wasn’t down, I did try and reach my daughter by phone. I didn’t stop the elliptical, mind you, but I did make an effort to check on her.

In the end, she was okay. No harm, no foul. But still probably not Mother of the Year, right?

Peace out.

Stakelbeck participates in relay Commentary by Erin Murphy Kimberly Stakelbeck hasn’t been a City of Westfield employee for very long, but you wouldn’t know it if you asked her co-workers.

Kimberly has been with the city cancer for less than a year, and she has already had two job titles. She was hired in customer service in 2015, but when a position in human resources opened up, she knew it was where she was meant to be.

Once you meet Kimberly, you instantly know she has the ability to talk to anyone.

She is very giving in her storytelling. The expressions she uses, the words she chooses and the way she tells a story with her hands, you can tell she likes people. Kimberly is the human resources assistant for Westfield, and that means she gets to walk with people in their greatest time of need.

Kimberly is a colon cancer survivor, and for her, that title comes with responsibility. It is the welcome responsibility of being a shoulder to lean on for cancer patients and their caregivers and helping them find their way through a cancer diagnosis.

As we talk, Kimberly tells me, “It’s an ugly diseases across the board and I don’t want anyone dealing with it because they shouldn’t

have to.”

Kimberly says that is why she also participates in Relay for Life. This year she is Team Captain of “Shamrockin’ for a Cure.” As a city employee and a cancer survivor, Kimberly is excited to bring awareness to a disease she describes as “suffocating” when you are in the midst of trying to survive.

Kimberly beat her diagnosis of stage 3 colon cancer 11 years ago. She wants cancer patients to know a cancer diagnosis is not a death sentence. Since beating cancer she has watched her daughter graduate high school and college and will see her son graduate high school next year. Ten years ago, these were life moments she wasn’t sure she would have, but she reminds me during our brief talk, “you have to live everyday like it’s your last.”

If you would like to participate in Relay for Life of Westfield/Sheridan, it will take place May 20, starting at 6 p.m. at the Westfield High School. For more, visit www.relayforlife. org/westfieldin.

Punny thoughts on cauliflower Commentary by Dick Wolfsie There’s not much humor related to the topic of cruciferous vegetables. If you google Brussels sprouts or kale or turhumor nips for any clever witticisms, you’re going to come up empty and disappointed – sort of the way you feel after eating that stuff.

There have been a few exceptions. Mark Twain claimed cauliflower was just a head of cabbage with a college education. Stephen Colbert recently asserted that cauliflower was just broccoli trying to win an Academy Award, a reference to the alleged color bias in the nominating process.

I’d like to see more cruciferous humor, so I was thrilled to read this headline in the Wall Street Journal: “DIETER’S AFFAIR WITH CAULIFLOWER COMES TO A HEAD” This, from the WSJ, not a publication known for its whimsy.

The article describes a customer at a Sam’s Club making a beeline to the produce area, hoping to find this healthy vegetable, which is in short supply now. Wouldn’t you make a beeline to shelves with honey? Writer Robin Sidel laments that because cauliflower is getting tougher to find, many consumers

are “fruitlessly” digging into supermarket bins looking for it. Fruitlessly? If anything, you would be “vegetatively” looking for the cauliflower.

The reporter says cauliflower’s popularity has “blossomed” as a substitute for starchy foods. I’m pretty certain there’s no blossoming in the life cycle of a cauliflower. Maybe I’m wrong. I’ll try a bouquet for Mary Ellen on Valentine’s Day. Sidel interviews this woman who has ended her love affair with cauliflower. In her cauliflower blog (yes, I’m serious) she has defiantly posted a recipe for broccoli salad. Says the blogger, “I have now taken my revenge like any former bitter lover.” There’s the problem: she’s bitter, but her former lover is bland and unexciting. Good luck with broccoli: not exactly the George Clooney of vegetables.

I know a humor column is an odd place to discuss the rising price of cauliflower. I’m just giving you a heads up.

“Where’s Amy?” … I attended the Actors Theatre of Indiana Mardi Gras Party presented by the ATI Guild and sponsored by Current. The festive annual fundraiser was held at the Woodland Country Club and was pure magic from the minute I walked in the front doors. The ATI Guild did a fantastic job from the bright colorful decorations to the mouthwatering hors d’oeuvres and complimentary hurricanes. Guests enjoy various games and chances to bid on spectacular silent auction items donated from local businesses and major corporations.

The silent auction items were amazing because there was something for everyone. I scored a super cool “Star Wars” basket but was out bid by another guest for a fun Colts package. One lucky guest won a beautiful pair of 14K white gold diamond studs from Midwest Jewelers and Estate Buyers while another guest walked out with a stunning John Hardy Classic Chain Bracelet from Moyer Fine Jewelers. The Tim Brickley Quintet kept the night hopping as we enjoyed a delicious New Orleans-style dinner. Guests hoped to find the prized Cake Baby, which would entitle them to become the king (or queen) of the court. For more on this event, visit CurrentNightandDay.com.

Jim Lauderdale has hosted the Americana Music Awards since 2002. It seems only fitting since he has long personified music the Americana label.

He’s fine with that, too.

“That term encompasses the different styles I do, bluegrass, country, rock and soul songs,” Lauderdale said.

Lauderdale, a two-time Grammy winner and prolific songwriter, will perform at The Warehouse, 254 1st Ave. SW, Carmel at 8 p.m. March 12.

Lauderdale will start the performance with his bluegrass band. He will perform several solo songs from his new album “Soul-Searching Vo1. 1 Memphis/Vol. 2 Nashville,” his 28th album.

“It’s half classic sounding soul music, which I did in Memphis, and the other disc is recorded in Nashville,” Lauderdale said of the album.

“That is eclectic singer-songwriter style. The show itself will be eclectic that night since I’ll be kicking things off with the Bluegrass Band.”

Lauderdale plans to do a lot of songs he collaborated with Robert Hunter, a lyricist who wrote many Grateful Dead songs with Jerry

Garcia.

“We’ve written about 100 songs together and I’ve put out about six albums of collaboration with him, some bluegrass, country and sort of rock,” Lauderdale said.

Lauderdale, 58, is eager to play in The Warehouse’s living room-style concert room, seating 150.

“I just enjoy playing live so much,” Lauderdale said. “I’ve done it in so many different settings. This sounds like a real cool place. I think the band will enjoy it.”

Home sales up 2.1 percent Commentary by Jim Litten Home sellers have benefitted from the continued rise in home sale prices as the number of available real estate homes steadily declines in the nine-county central Indiana region. The average sale price rose 2.1 percent in January 2016 compared to January 2015, while the region also saw an 11.7 percent decline in available homes. Tighter inventory also affected the year’s slow start in pended home sales, which declined 9.5 percent compared to last year.

Hamilton County’s average sale price stayed nearly flat compared to last year, now at $271,330. There were approximately 100 fewer

houses on the market, which represented a 6.6 percent decline from last year. Pended sales in the county also dipped 25.6 percent.

Low inventory is a trend nationwide, and it can affect the health of the real estate market. The National Association of Realtors’ recent quarterly HOME study found 83 percent of current renters hope to own a home in the future. That demand may spark current homeowners to list their homes and perhaps help spur more sales in 2016.

This is why Keith sells so much!

“I needed to sell my house and had been using another realtor and company to no avail. After 15 months, I switched to Keith and he had my house sold within a month. He understood my needs, knew what to do about them, and sold the house quick. He knew how to stage it, market it, and check the buyers' background so the deal would not fall through. He was professional and helpful at every step. I would definitely use him again and recommend him to my friends” - Sara (Carmel, IN)

“Keith was more than our realtor.

Of course, he handled all of the negotiations and appropriate paper work. But as out of state sellers, our circumstances were more complicated. Keith handled repairs and contactors and many unforeseen problems on our behalf.

He was always available, always professional, and we are very grateful for him.”

- Randi (Carmel, IN)

Too sick for work?

Commentary by Gerald Mick, M.D. When illness strikes, one of the first questions we ask is “should I stay home?” The answer varies, defamily medicine pending on symptoms and discomfort. Sometimes we’re able to push through the day with a cold or sore throat, and other times even minor illnesses make us too weak to get out of bed. When the decision isn’t clear, keep these factors in mind to determine if it’s in your—and your co-workers—best interest to stay home.

• Fever – A fever indicates you’re contagious. If you have one, it’s best to stay home. Chills and sweats are signs of fever, so take your temperature to be sure. If it’s over 102 degrees F, call your primary care doctor.

• Sniffles and cough – While it’s probably okay to go to work with these symptoms, wash hands frequently and cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue or shirtsleeve to avoid spreading germs.

If a persistent cough is deep and you’re short of breath, call your doctor for evaluation. These could be signs of bronchitis

or pneumonia.

• Headache – If your headache includes sensitivity to noise or light, it may be a migraine. Consider staying home if you have migraine symptoms, and call your doctor if headaches become frequent.

• Pinkeye – Characterized by redness, white or yellow mucus in the corner of the eye, and matted eyelashes, pinkeye can easily be spread to others. This means calling in sick if you suspect you have it. Consult with your doctor to see if it should be treated with an antibiotic.

While minor illnesses are a nuisance, the good news is healthy people generally recover quickly. You’re the best judge of how you feel; trust your instinct and use common sense about when to stay home, and call your doctor if symptoms become more serious.

Blueprint for Improvement: Kitchen with Craftsman style Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions:

After

The goal was to achieve a Craftsman-style kitchen, with an open connection to the adjacent living area.

1. The biggest visual impact to the kitchen was creating an opening to the living space with a custom stained-glass detail.

2. The island was expanded to include seating, an upgraded range, and more functional cabinet accessories.

3. Additional cabinetry was added as a feature buffet area with a variety of storage options and even additional countertop space.

4. The Craftsman details are reflected in the cabinet door style, custom stained glass design, glass light fixture above the island, and the warm, natural materials.

5. The rhythm of wall cabinetry emphasizes the two beautiful windows that allow light to flood into the kitchen and adjacent living and dining spaces.

Before Background info: This home in the North Willow Farms neighborhood in Indianapolis was built in 1973. The family was very ready to update and expand their kitchen to match their own personal style!

Before problems: The kitchen was very dated and closed off to the main living space, making it feel smaller than it actually was. The homeowners needed a more open, functional kitchen for their family, that also reflected their love of Craftsman-style aesthetics.

Throne Room of Mari Palace. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Ancient city on the Euphrates Commentary by Don Knebel Mari, near the west bank of the Euphrates River in eastern Syria, was the world’s first planned city. Its ancient records provide unprecedented information about travel times and places of the Biblical Patriarchs.

Mari, founded in about 3000 B.C., was disposed within a circular embankment. It grew rich as the center of trade between Babylon and cities to the north and west, including Hazor, later rebuilt by King Solomon. By 1800 B.C., Mari controlled an area extending from the northern reaches of Babylonia to the southern border of what is now Turkey. The city itself, covering more than 150 acres, featured a spectacular palace, occupying more than 300,000 square feet and including about 275 rooms.

In 1760 B.C., Babylonian King Hammurabi conquered Mari, burned its palace and took control of the surrounding territory. Six years later, Hammurabi issued a famous code governing the administration of justice in the areas he controlled. The code, which Hammurabi attributed to Babylonian gods, sets out the retributive punishment of an “eye for an eye, a tooth

for a tooth” that is repeated in the Hebrew Scriptures and later rejected by Jesus.

The Mari ruins were buried under the desert sands and forgotten until 1933, when French archaeologists rediscovered the city and began excavations. They uncovered a royal archive of about 15,000 clay tablets with cuneiform writing in the demolished rooms of the palace.

Some of the tablets described places associated with Biblical Abraham. Others included prophecies made in the name of the gods, a practice once thought to have originated with the Hebrew prophets. All provided unprecedented information about life in the lands of the Bible during the early second millennium B.C. Mari has been the victim of looting and destruction during Syria’s civil war. Fortunately, what has been learned from its tablets cannot be destroyed.
