Plan commission grants continuance to Wood Wind

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com The Westfield Advisory Plan Commission expected to vote on the Wood Wind planned unit development at its March development 20 meeting to move the proposal onto council with a positive or negative recommendation.

Originally, the commission was split 4-4, and the proposal previously advanced to city council with no recommendation. The council sent the proposal back to the APC to be voted on again.

Joseph Scimia, an attorney with Ice Miller representing the Wood Wind development, asked for a continuance to the April 17 APC meeting.

The commercial and multifamily areas of the proposal have been removed, reducing the developable acreage from 799 to 730 acres with only single-family, amenity and golf course uses.

Scimia said the reason for the continuance was an updated series of homes that Pulte Homes has not yet introduced to Westfield. According to Scimia, the request for a continuance was because of new market data Pulte Homes had received regarding the series. The new series would increase the size and architecture of the units.

“One of the larger concerns we came across and that we’ve had to work through is the range of homes as far as the series and what they consist of and the price points and those sorts of things,” Scimia said. “Since our last meeting, I can tell you that I have received authority to introduce a product line to Westfield that does not exist currently in Westfield. It is brand new.”

Scimia said that because the average Westfield household earns $89,000 a year, increasing the price point to a standard requested by citizens and some staff would not be plausible and most families would not be able to afford those homes.

Scimia said what would be filed and pre-

Currently, the proposal is 730 acres of single-family, amenity and golf course uses. (Submitted image)

sented to staff April 7 would be the same project presented at the April 17 APC meeting. APC President Randy Graham expressed doubts.

“I’m not in a rush to get it done. I’m not weary. I’m not frustrated,” Graham said. “I am skeptical on the continuance, and that if you come back here on the 17th that would be it, and we wouldn’t be maneuvering things around five minutes before the meeting. I just feel a lot of people have invested a lot of time.

I am not trying to rush the process at all. If you have a better product, you have a good argument that we should see what it is, but I’m skeptical you’re going to bring something here on April 17 that is a finished product.”

Scimia responded that he was unsure if Graham’s comments were because of skepticism or cynicism but that he is “fully aware of the frustrations they share.”

Graham was the only APC member who voted against the continuance. The continuance was granted for the Wood Wind proposal with an 8-1 vote.

Cook talks INDOT, Ind. 32

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Westfield Mayor Andy Cook spoke to a crowded city hall March 16 to discuss the possibility of widening Ind. 32 roads in the next three to five years.

The road is owned by the state, and Cook plans to ask the Indiana Dept. of Transportation to pay for the widening project. Cook held the update due to a comment he saw on Nextdoor, a socialmedia outlet for local neighborhoods to express comments and concerns.

“Enough people were interested to get together and talk about it,” Cook said.

“Thirty-two is a challenge to us as a traffic piece. It’s not going to get any better; it’s going to get busier. The bad news is we have to influence (INDOT) to get projects done in the manner we want them done.

The good news is I hope they pay for it and not us.”

The plan Cook presented would allow for two lanes in each direction on Ind. 32 with a raised median. Approximately 30 feet south of the existing curb along Ind. 32 would be needed to apply for the necessary space.

Concern was raised on maintaining and

keeping historical buildings along Ind. 32, which is why, Cook said, the plan was to extend the right of way to the south and not the north. The extension would require space owned by Erica’s Place, Union Street Flowers and Gifts and others. However, it would persevere the Carnegie Library building and the historical bank building on the north side of Ind. 32. The four-lane Ind. 32 would extend from East Street to U.S. 31.

There is no timeline for funding to update Ind. 32, but a plan for future expansion could be approved as early as mid-April.

An essay originally crafted to win a trip to Washington, D.C., with the Westfield Middle School also achievement won Emerson Bostic recognition from the Carmel Veterans of Foreign Wars Post and an advancement to VFW District 6, where he placed second.

Bostic’s essay was written on, “The America I Believe In.” He said he was inspired by his family, grandparents and great-grandparents to write it.

“It all started when I was planning with our school a D.C. trip, and I would go to the meetings, and one meeting they told us about an essay contest, and the winner would win a free D.C. trip,” said Bostic, a WMS eighth-grader. “They handed out the form and I took it home. I worked really hard on it.”

Bostic’s essay, a submission into the Patriot’s Pen contest sponsored by the VFW, won him the trip to D.C. It also won first place for the county, and Bostic was presented with a cash award and a certificate.

His essay was then forwarded to the district competition, where he placed second.

His placing earned a plaque and another cash award and certificate.

Much of Bostic’s passion for history and desire to visit Washington, D.C., was instilled by Mark Capin, an eighth grade social studies teacher at WMS. “It just seemed like a great trip, and I’m really into history, and a lot of my friends were going. I thought it would be a great idea to try to win (the contest),” Bostic said. “Mr. Capin, my social studies teacher, definitely played a role in writing the essay because he’s really been the one to get me

Emerson Bostic, right, said social studies teacher Mark Capin was a large influence on his passion for history. (Submitted photo)

into history.”

Bostic invited Capin to his awards ceremony.

“I think it is every teacher’s hope that they have somehow contributed, in a small way, to help a student find their passion in life,” Capin stated in a Facebook message. “It is not so much as igniting a fire, but more or less blowing on the embers.

Emerson already had the foundation given to him by his parents, I just happened to be lucky enough to have him in class.”

The VFW Patriot’s Pen essay contest is targeted toward sixth- through eighth-graders and also features a Voice of Democracy contest for ninth-through 12th graders.

Sheriff’s office complex sees reorganization

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office recently made changes to how the campus at 18000 Cumberland public safety Rd., Noblesville is run.

The sheriff’s office is relocating and shuffling offenders to different buildings and areas in an effort to accommodate the influx of inmates.

Hamilton County Commissioner Steve Dillinger addressed the issue during the Jan. 25 State of the County Address.

“We have a jail capacity at around 294 (inmates). We are running now at as much as 400,” Dillinger said. “That is not a good thing. It creates a lot of safety concerns.”

Dillinger said the likely solution to overcrowding would be to relocate female prisoners to the underutilized juvenile detention center, which can house up to 78 juveniles but only regularly houses eight to 13. Dillinger said juveniles would be relocated to the former juvenile facility, which is being remodeled.

Now, both things have happened.

As part of a long-term plan to address the situation, juvenile offenders in secure detention have been relocated to a different area of the property. The renovation of the former Juvenile Detention Center is complete. Juveniles held in secure detention were transferred to the building earlier this month. Juveniles housed in Shelter Care remain in the current facility.

“The new Juvenile Detention Center is actually the area that housed juvenile offenders prior to the opening in 2008 of the Juvenile Services Center,” a statement

from the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office said. “The building saw a variety of uses in past years, including office space and most recently housing maximum-security adult inmates.”

As a result of relocating juvenile offenders, space has opened to house a growing female inmate population.

“Moving the female population in turn creates more room at the current adult jail to accommodate the male population,” the sheriff’s office statement said.

The sheriff’s office said the inmate housing configuration, which maximizes available bed space on the campus, is expected to last until an expansion of the Hamilton County Jail is completed. The expansion is set to break ground sometime this year. A date has not been set.

ireland promoted Sheriff Mark Bowen has appointed Capt. Kija Ireland as commander of the Juvenile Division.

Ireland is the first female deputy to oversee a division at the sheriff’s office. She has worked in a variety of Ireland positions as a merit deputy since 1998, most recently serving as a detective in the Investigations Division.

Capt. Jeff Marcum, who headed the Juvenile Division for many years, is assisting Ireland during the transition period and also working in the Investigations Division.

“Honestly, what I think makes this event so great is when families come to it they feel they’re cared for and there’s people in the community that care about them,” NSPIRE Church Engagement Pastor Matt Gaylor said. “I think people in our community think whenever church is involved, there’re strings attached. Lots of people have that expectation for church events, and we try to do everything we can to shatter those expectations. This is just a ‘come and allow us to serve you and know that you’re loved.’ I think people feel that, and I think they enjoy that. We protect that as the DNA of the event.”

It also helps that kids turn in eggs for candy or age-appropriate snacks at the end of the event. This is the second year for two time slots during the event. A total of 1,600 kids will participate.

Dropped eggs are empty, and kids turn them in to redeem the treats.

“Several families with younger kids say that to this day, some young toddlers when they see helicopter in the sky, they think

there’s going to be eggs coming out of the helicopter,” Ruggles said.

In addition to the egg drop, other activities will be available at the event. They include face painting, a photo booth, food for purchase from platinum sponsor Chick-fil-A, carnival games and more.

“Dropping anything out of a helicopter is pretty cool,” Ruggles said. “I think one of the things that sets this event apart that we hear every year from people who come is we constantly get people who say how well-organized it is, how fun the event is and how friendly all the volunteers are. It’s not just show up for an egg hunt and then leave. We have all the different carnival games and the DJ and the music.”

Seven churches will bring approximately 140 volunteers to support the event. The churches involved include NSPIRE Church (formerly Imagine and CitySpring), Christ United Methodist, Paradox, LifePointe,

Westfield Friends and Lord of Life Lutheran.

Volunteers from Westfield Welcome also are contributing.

“The Westfield Easter Egg Drop is an event that brings the community together,” Mayor Andy Cook stated in a press release sent to Current. “Since the Westfield Easter Egg Drop has doubled the number of attendees, Grand Park is the perfect place

for families to gather and enjoy the holiday in a unique and fun way. We look forward in continuing this successful partnership with our Westfield churches.”

A pre-registration code can be found in this week’s edition of Current in Westfield.

Most exhausting time of the year

o b s e r v a tion Dig in for comfort

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker What is it about macaroni and cheese?

While handy smartphone applications designed to track our intake of calories will warn that the creamy pasta dish can push to our daily limits in a single serving, it still makes our dietary “cheat” list. Whether it is this one or some other so-called comfort food, we all crave, well, comfort. Certainly, the simple sugars and fat content fill our bellies. But isn’t its appeal more than an intentional nap inducement? It is a reminder of simpler times and fond memories of meals long-passed.

Whatever the root of our fascination, we seek the consistent redundancy of the familiar reassurance to calm when our lives overwhelm. As such, books, films, vacation spots and even favorite pants can serve a similar function. We inveterate channel-surfers will pause for a re-run of a long-cancelled sitcom to be reminded of an episode that we’ve already enjoyed a dozen times before. We know the plot – twists, turns and all. Yet, we hang on each scene anxiously awaiting the delivery of the next line. In a confusing and complicated world, it brings a long-sought sense of order.

Does a false sense of omnipotence give us a false sense of control? Or, are we justifiably eager to pursue a venue to satisfaction that we know will consummate? With so many promises unfulfilled, are we right to seek the proven and shun the unknown?

Long days and short nights can wear us down. We work to make our way in a world that seems increasingly unfamiliar and unsettled. Change is at our doorstep and cannot be kept at bay. Some, we embrace. Too much can overwhelm. If a bit of comfort helps us cope, let’s dig in.

READER ’ S V I EW No turn signal fee Editor, Are (Carmel residents) going to stand by and let your council vote in Ordinance D-2356-17, the turn signal use in roundabouts? This proposal is egregious greedy government overreach wishing to charge $100 for non-compliance. Are you not concerned about this preposterous plan making war on drivers who do not or cannot use their turn signals within roundabouts whose sizes and shapes are unequal?

Does Carmel need money that badly to inflict a regulation on residents and nonresidents who will be driving into, within and throughout Carmel’s roundabouts to capture more revenue for its coffers?

This ordinance was designed to: “Promote public safety and prevent traffic ac-

cidents by regulating the use of turn signals in roundabouts.” I say it won’t work, and safety is not the real issue here.

As you drive through the roundabouts, envision the use of turn signals at each turn and try doing it. If you are driving straight on, it won’t work. If you are in a small roundabout, you will be out of it before flicking on your turn signal. A good example is the roundabout under U.S. 31 and 136th street, which is a maze.

Good defensive driving is needed here, not turn signals.

If you believe this is a bad ordinance, contact your council representative and tell them to vote no on this mainly money making venture.

– Pablo Picasso

This is the time of year, folks, that I am perpetually exhausted.

As a parent, I’m tired of the humor dance and color guard competitions that I feel compelled out of guilt to attend. As a teacher, I’m overwhelmed by the fact that we still have two months left in the school year when I’ve been over it since the godforsaken time change three weeks ago. And as a mom, if I have to clean up one more muddy paw or footprint, you will probably find me apoplectic and naked in the hard liquor aisle at Meijer.

Enough already. Let’s just get summer here!

Seriously. Spring is stupid. The weather can’t make up its mind, one day snowing and the next a balmy 75. I can’t store away the parkas and boots, but I also have to have shorts and flip-flops at the ready. On rainy afternoons, I feel happy because I have an excuse to sit on my couch and do nothing, but then the sun will come out and shine on those show-off daffodils, and I feel miserable for sitting on my couch and doing nothing. Perhaps most significantly, all the sports worth watching come to end by mid-April, and I’ve nothing to fill the void except U18 rec soccer, which more often than not gets cancelled because of lightening or funnel clouds.

True, my beloved Kentucky Derby takes place the first Saturday in May, and, of course, there’s a car race around here that people seem to like, but apart from those, why bother? Why can’t we just skip to July, bring out the heat and cold beer and get down to enjoying the best few months of the year? No homework battles, no early morning alarms and no plastic Easter grass to cut out of the Bissell. Because frankly, I’m just exhausted!

Peace out.

Dangerous vacation reading Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Mary Ellen is planning our 2017 summer vacation to the Canadian Rockies. Back in 2007, we went to the Grand humor Canyon, the only place in America where you’re allowed to drag your kid to the precipice of one of the world’s deepest chasms, but they put you in the slammer if you feed a squirrel.

In the gift shop on the South Rim, the clerk recommended a book called — hold on to your hat (actually, hold on to anything you can) — “Over the Edge: Death in the Grand Canyon.” What a charming choice for fans of light summer reading.

The authors do not restrict their colorful travelogue to unscheduled plunges to the bottom. They want you to know that with a little bit of poor planning, you can also die of dehydration or starvation.

Apparently, the canyon is safe if you are careful, but the book seems oddly misplaced in the gift shop so close to, well, the edge. There aren’t pamphlets relating the history of scaldings on the counter of McDonald’s or brochures about whimsical power-tool mishaps attached to your chainsaw purchases.

“Parkinson’s Cafe” Enjoy this continental breakfast series featuring guest speakers that specialize in caring for individuals with Parkinson’s disease and their caregivers. • Tuesday, April 25, 10–11:30 a.m.

The next deadline for submitting essays is April 28. Send a 100-word essay describing your favorite teacher to Teacher@youarecurrent.com.

Other entertaining stories in the book include bear attacks, drownings and rock slides. Maybe I’m an optimist but I look at it this way: just a few hundred deaths in 6 million years. That’s not a bad record.

In one touching chapter, a man makes tea for his wife out of a deadly canyon flower, and they both die within minutes. In another, a woman tries to pet a mountain lion. An elderly couple got lost in their 1996 Taurus on a back road. They were found dehydrated, but still alive. They had no water but a week’s supply of Depends. I’d call that ironic.

Travelers from abroad love the Grand Canyon. Europeans winter in Arizona. Asians summer in the Canyon. Americans usually fall there. Approximately 600 feet. That’s just an average, though; your actual plummet may vary.

This summer, we probably can’t avoid dangerous cliffs, windy roads and harsh weather. But we will stay away from bookstores.

Entrepreneur provides tips for success

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com As chief executive officer of Carmel-based Bitwise Solutions, Ron Brumbarger is always looking for fresh talent.

That led him, in part, to create Apprentice interviews University, where students learn how to approach opportunities with dedication and resourcefulness. Business members serve as mentors to students for on-the-job training.

With his experience, Brumbarger decided to write “You’re Always Being Interviewed: How To Be Intentionally Extraordinary” in 2016. He will have a book signing at 2:30 p.m. March 31 at Westside Church, 8610 W. 10th St., Indianapolis.

“The driver behind the book is many years of what I would affectionately refer to as forehead-slapping experiences during the interview process with people, things you can’t believe would really occur,” said Brumbarger, a Westfield resident.

For example, Brumbarger used a true story with a name change to protect a terrible decision.

“Elliott showed up in shorts, a T-shirt, tennis shoes, sweaty and his resume was rolled up,” Brumbarger said. “I thought he was the Jimmy John’s delivery guy. He’s really showing up for an interview. I asked if it was an impromptu scheduling of this interview and he said, ‘No, we’ve had it scheduled for weeks.’”

Needless to say, there was no interview.

“Young professionals from (age) 16 to 30 need to understand what those of us that few yards downfield from them careerwise understand to be normal,” Brumbarger said.

He said responsible use of social media is important as well.

“If you are hanging around the wrong friends on Facebook, whether you are passively engaging with them or people you communicate with routinely, if they are doing things talent spotters, people who create payroll, would find offensive and you’re friends with them in social media, it’s the same as you sitting next to them at a table,” Brumbarger said.

Brumbarger recalled a 17-year-old employee posting a social media picture of his girlfriend in her underwear with bottles of whiskey and a cigarette in the background.

Once alerted, the employee was fired immediately.

“It’s about being the type of person others want to associate with because of your character,” Brumbarger said.

The book includes a chapter on etiquette.

“It’s a bit preachy and I hated doing it, but someone has to do it,” he said. “So I talk about how table manners are important.”

The book is available on Amazon.com.

‘Miranda’ full of mystery

By Zach Dunkin • editorial@youarecurrent.com There’s a line in the stage thriller “Miranda,” where the main character is asked what her theater mother knows about the work she does in the CIA. Miranda answers, “There’s so little you can talk about without talking about too much of Godinez it, you know?”

And so it goes with playwright James Still’s haunting play, which opens on Indiana Repertory Theatre’s Upperstage March 28 for a run through April 25.

“Miranda” is a mind-bending existential crisis of a CIA operative who goes by many names. Who is she? What keeps her working in the Middle East after all these years?

Why can’t she leave? Whose war is she fighting and who is the enemy? And how does she find herself directing a production of “Othello” in Yemen with teenagers?

“There really is so little you can talk about without talking about too much of it,” said Still, IRT’s 20-year

playwright-in-residency.

“There’s a thin line that separates the play and the writer, but it’s in that mysterious place where the work happens, where the story emerges, where the characters seem more real to myself than myself,” Still said.

Although written in 2014, director Henry Godinez said what is happening on stage is similar to what Still is going on in the world today.

“We live at a time in our country when inflammatory rhetoric about foreigners in general, and Muslims in particular, is charged with suspicion and fear,” Godinez said. “A lot is being said that questions the integrity and motives of our intelligence operatives.

“Any opportunity we can be afforded to view our shared humanity is a rare and much-needed thing. That is exactly what James has given us with his hauntingly beautiful play.”

Updated kitchen and living areas for openness Commentary by Larry Greene

After

After solutions: The goal for these areas was to improve functionality and openness, maximize storage space and strategically design the aesthetics to feel continuous throughout.

1. The kitchen cabinets were replaced and now wrap around the kitchen, creating additional storage.

Also, a separate buffet area was added to include a beverage fridge and additional countertop space.

2. The countertops were updated to granite and an intricate backsplash was added. The new undermount sink, faucet and undercabinet lighting are perfect touches to add functionality and task lighting.

3. New durable tile flooring was installed in the kitchen, back hall and laundry room.

4. The wall between the sunroom and living room was removed to create one larger space. The half-wall between the dining and living areas was also removed.

5. To complete the continuous aesthetic flow of the entire open space, the fireplace was updated with the same tile used as the kitchen accent backsplash tile.

Before Background Info: These owners reside in the Parks at White River neighborhood in Fishers. They knew they wanted to update their kitchen and adjacent living spaces but did not really know where to start.

Before problems: The previous kitchen was outdated with tile countertops, dysfunctional storage space and insufficient lighting. Part of the bamboo flooring was missing due to a leak. They also wanted to make the adjacent living spaces feel like one connected area with the kitchen. A half-wall between the dining and living areas, as well as a full-height wall between the living and sunroom areas, were prohibiting this open concept. The fireplace also needed cosmetic updates.

WHAT TO EXPECT: The Dangers of Social Media During Divorce

I can see what you see. The proliferation of social media has allowed us to share events with friends and family across the globe. Through pictures, tweets, status updates and a host of sites, a virtual travelogue of someone’s life is available. . .to everyone. In the world of divorce litigation, however, this has given rise to an entirely new method of collecting information and, ultimately, evidence to put before a court charged with deciding divisions of assets and custody of children. With the popularity of social media, the internet is filled with information from online profiles. Users who are unaware of the broad availability of this information to a former spouse or opposing counsel are posting at their own risk. With so much of what is posted being available to “share,” it is nearly impossible to control access to this information. Further, as part of information exchanges common to divorce proceedings, it is now common to request the entire history of a Twitter account or Facebook page, so even if your privacy settings would not allow the former spouse or counsel to see your account in real time, they will get to comb over all your pictures and posts to pick out those which can cast you in a negative light.

Tweeting evidence. That great picture of you and a bunch of friends doing shots before the concert received 62 “likes,” 22 “comments,” and 5 “shares.” Now it’s being presented to a Court to show that you left the children with a sitter while

you went out and got drunk. Fair or unfair, in the hands of an experienced litigator that post can speak volumes about your priorities, bad habits and even the quality of your parenting.

That “vent” about how the children would be so much better off if your ex joined the Peace Corps and vanished from their lives? It’s being presented to argue that you’ve done all you can to alienate the children. These are just examples of “normal” interactions through social media that, in the context of a contested divorce, can be damaging to your position and compromise your arguments to a court.

How is it used? The Indiana Court of Appeals recently ruled that witness testimony identifying a Twitter account taken together with the posted content was enough to authenticate that the account belonged to a criminal defendant without the identification of the account by the defendant himself. Of course, the most common way for that evidence to make it before the Court will be to have the actual person identify the account and the questionable position during cross-examination. Don’t let this be you!

Commentary by Don Knebel The Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., is often called the “nation’s attic” because of its extraordinary collection of more than 150 million items. It is travel named for James Smithson, who made his only trip to the United States after his death.

Smithson was born in Paris sometime in 1765, the illegitimate son of an English nobleman and a wealthy widow.

Smithson spent his adult life traveling throughout Europe, often in the company of Europe’s scientific elite, studying a wide variety of natural phenomena. He published 27 papers about his conclusions, including one about how to brew a better cup of coffee. One of Smithson’s papers resulted in a mineral being named “smithsonite” in his honor.

When Smithson, who never married, died in Italy in 1829, his will specified that his assets were to go to the United States, which he had never visited, to found “the SmithsonDocket No. 17030006 UDO NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE THE CARMEL PLAN COMMISSION Notice is hereby given that the Carmel Advisory Plan Commission will hold a public hearing upon a Petition To Adopt a Unified Development Ordinance pursuant to the application and plans filed with the Department of Community Services as follows: Adopt the Carmel Unified Development Ordinance, which will repeal and replace the following: • Carmel City Code, Chapter 10, Article 1: Zoning Code • Carmel City Code, Chapter 10, Article 2: Subdivision Regulations, and • Carmel City Code, Chapter 10, Article 4: Zoning Maps.

Filed by the Department of Community Services on behalf of the Carmel Plan Commission.

Designated as Docket No. 17030006 UDO, the hearing will be held on Tuesday, April 18, 2017, at 6:00 PM in the Council Chambers, Carmel City Hall, One Civic Square, Carmel, IN 46032.

The file for this proposal (Docket No. 17030006 UDO) is on file at the Carmel Department of Community Services, One Civic Square, Carmel, Indiana 46032, and may be viewed Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM. Any written comments or objections to the proposal should be filed with the Secretary of the Plan Commission on or before the date of the Public Hearing.

In addition, the hearing may be continued from time to time by the Commission as it may find necessary.

ian Institution, an establishment for the increase and diffusion of knowledge.” After considerable debate, the government accepted 105 bags of gold coins worth more than $11 million today, at the time almost 2 percent of the entire federal budget. In 1846, Congress created the Smithsonian Institution as a center for research and as a repository for the government’s growing scientific collections.

In 1855, a red sandstone building, combining Romanesque and Gothic details, was completed just east of the Washington Monument, then under construction, as the home of the Smithsonian Institution. In 1904, Alexander Graham Bell traveled to Italy and returned with the disinterred body of James Smithson, which was reinterred in the building now known as “the Castle” because of its towers.

Today, the Smithsonian Institution’s collection is distributed among 19 different museums. Smithson’s crypt is still displayed on the first floor of the Castle, which houses the Institution’s administrative offices and a visitors’ center.
