Compiled by Robert Herrington

What happened: Westfield has implemented an ordinance that will regulate pawnshops more closely.

What it means: Similar to ordinances in Fishers and Marion County, Westfield has created effort to prevent the sale of stolen property.

The ordinance is meant to deter local criminals and those coming north from Indianapolis and surrounding towns and cities with pawnshop ordinances. The ordinance involves pawnshop and any secondhand shop including antique stores, thrift shops, metal recyclers and secondhand metal dealers. “It’s a great opportunity for stolen items to be replaced,” councilor Bob Smith said.

What’s next: Store owners will be required to register with the Westfield Police Dept., pay a $50 registration fee and keep a record of transactions. Stores also will now keep an electronic inventory tracking system and then transmit digitally to a database, which is viewable to the police department. Information includes the date and time of each transaction, a detailed description of each item, amount of money exchanged, detailed information and a digital photo of the seller, and a digital photo of any item over $25 that does not have a serial or ID number. Violations would result in a $500 fine.

What happened: A text amendment to modify the number of dwelling units, landscaping and amenities to the Andover North development.

What it means: The ordinance allows for a maximum of 240 total lots consisting of four product types each of which have separate unit number requirements. Market demand has caused the developer to remove one home type and increase the number of other types. In amenities, the development asked to remove its clubhouse and wants to add a dog park instead of a secondary playground.

What’s next: The ordinance was approved after a unanimous favorable recommendation from the advisory plan commission.

Dispatches Constitutional Patriots meeting – The Constitutional Patriots will meet at 7 p.m. April 28 at Central Christian church, 1242 W. 136th St., Carmel. WIBC radio talk show host Tony Katz will speak on how the conservative movement is impacting Indiana politics.

Mayor for the evening – Owen Crosslin, a fourthgrade student at Carey Ridge Elementary, has dinner with Mayor Andy Cook prior to the March 23 city council meeting. Crosslin was mayor for the evening after he attended and won the opportunity at his school’s winter carnival and silent auction.

A Go Fund Me page was recently created to completely restore Westfield Fire Dept.’s third fire truck back to its original philanthropy state. The 1951 Studebaker truck is owned by a group of Westfield firefighters. The restored truck will be used for occasional parades, but its main purpose will be as the lead truck in fallen firefighter funeral processions.

Michael Kobrowski, volunteer curator of the Westfield Washington Historical Society & Museum, found the fundraiser.

“I love historical artifacts and our museum is in the old fire station that this truck used to sit behind of (the second ever fire truck used to sit inside it),” he wrote on the funding site. “We need to preserve history and what better than to do with this Indiana built Westfield used fire engine?”

The construction season has started in Westfield as crews prepare to close the 156th Street and Spring Mill Road interthe commute section. The intersection will be shut down on or after April 6 so the crews can begin building the roundabout.

“Drivers who currently endure the 156th and Spring Mill four-way stop, understand the need for a roundabout at that intersection,” said Mayor Andy Cook. “Drivers will have to be patient for a little while longer while that intersection is closed, but once complete it will be a much smoother and safer drive through that area.”

Motorists should plan for a 60-day closure once construction begins. Officials said proceeds from the 2014 utility sale are helping pay for this project.

Animal production and animal by-products were explained with the use of beef, goats, horses, llamas, poultry, rabbits, sheep and swine. Presentations to the students were made by 4-H members. “Since many Hamilton County residents are now three or more generations removed from the farm, Ag Day provides students with a close up, hands-on exposure to agriculture that they would not have otherwise had the opportunity to experience,” said Lisa Hanni, Purdue Extension Hamilton County program assistant.

Meet your teacher, Emily Price Grade/school: Fifth grade language arts, Westfield Intermediate Number of years teaching: Four Background/schooling: Carmel High School and bachelor’s degree in elementary education and special education, Ball State University.

Why did you become a teacher? I think that many teachers choose this profession because somewhere along the way they were inspired by a teacher of their own. I was fortunate to have multiple inspiring role models in my academic career that ignited my passion for learning and teaching. I had one elementary teacher in particular, also my basketball coach, who took a special interest in me and helped me reach the goals that I set for myself. I chose to become a teacher so that I could inspire and encourage a love of learning in others and have the opportunity to help kids reach their personal dreams.

What goals do you have for your students? I want my students to leave my classroom with the ability to independently solve problems. I want them to be able to begin to see the world from a lens other than their own.

I want them to be able to think critically about

what they are reading and develop a voice for their personal writing. I want my students to be more comfortable and confident Price speaking in front of a group.

What do you encourage parents to do at home to help their children strengthen particular skills? I encourage parents to let their children see them as an active reading role model and to take interest by holding conversations about what their child is reading.

It’s important that kids are reading and writing every night at home, not just in the school environment. I would also encourage parents to help their children find solutions to a variety of problems instead of providing an answer.

What is your favorite movie? “Good Will Hunting.”

What is your favorite musician or band?

Depends on the day you ask!

What’s something your students might not know about you? I once played on the first-place team in a mud volleyball tournament that helped raise money for a children’s hospital.

Plans for construction at the U.S. 31-191st Street intersection. (Submitted rendering)

U.S. 31 Hamilton County project close to stretch run

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Jason Rowley knew how to get some love from his Westfield Chamber of Commerce audience.

Rowley, project manager for U.S. 31 for CHA cover story Consultants, recently told The Bridgewater Club gathering that this would likely be his last discussion with them since the U.S. 31 Hamilton County project in Westfield and Carmel will likely be finished by the end of the year. Naturally, it drew a loud applause for the start of his talk.

The $350 million project’s mission was to upgrade the 13 miles of existing highway between 1-465 and Ind. 38 to freeway standards, including 11 new interchanges. Construction began in 2011.

When the final section opens, 32 traffic signals will have been removed, saving an approximate 30 minutes of driving time. In the corridor, there are 44 bridges, 1.5 million square feet of retaining wall and 1.5 million yards of excavation, Rowley said. There were 85 buildings removed and 215 land acquisitions completed.

Rowley praised the work of the utility companies in moving the project along.

“A lot of people thought the utilities would never get done,”

Jason Rowley, project manager for U.S. 31 for CHA Consultants, updates the Westfield Chamber of Commerce crowd about construction. (Photo by Mark Ambrogi)

Rowley said. “They all worked together partnering with INDOT and they all got the work done.”

Rowley said the utilities will be concluded in early April.

“The contractors will then be full bore so we can get this done by the end of the year,” he said.

In Carmel, Rowley said U.S. 31 up to 146th Street is essentially complete. Rowley said he hopes 126th Street/Carmel Drive interchange will be opened up by May or June.

Westfield has six interchanges. There is no access at 169th, 181st and 191st streets, but Rowley said those intersections should be finished later this year.

Rowley said the biggest amount of work has to be done to finish the 191st Street interchange.

Most of the landscaping is scheduled to be done in the fall and next spring.

“Hopefully by the summer of 2016 everything will be green and all the grass will grow,” Rowley said. “Then INDOT can move on to other projects.”

Rowley said by late November, the speed limit should increase in Westfield from 40 mph to 55 mph.

“When the three lanes open up and orange barrels disappear,

that’s when you see the speed limit raised,” he said.

Phil Fanning, facilities manager for IMMI in Westfield, said he is encouraged by the news the project is getting closer to being finished.

“The U.S. 31 project has had a significant impact on our business,” he said. “However, our relationship with the City of Westfield and INDOT and Jason Rowley has helped immensely for us to be able to anticipate those changes.

Make the changes we need to make from a Fanning business prospective so the commerce goes on uninterrupted.

“No one likes to live in a construction zone,” Fanning continued.

“We got it going on all sides around us. We’re ready for this to be done and enjoy these new changes. That interchange at 191st Street at U.S. 31 was a dangerous intersection. This is a very good thing.”

Jim Helton, a manager for The UPS store, 17437 Carey Rd., Westfield, is encouraged by the progress.

“As it goes through various stages of completion I’ve seen it cause our customer counts have gone up,” Helton said. “We’ve seen double-digit increases in our business from September all Helton the way through this month. I would say our business is much better than before the project started. More people have moved here and there are a lot more things going on in the community so that impacts our business significantly.”

Cruz has been in the so-called limelight for all of two years, and after listening to his off-the-cuff campaign announcement (no Tele-Prompter for that guy) last week, here is what we came away with: He credits Jesus for fueling his father’s return to the family fold; we need to dump the IRS and ObamaCare; and the Common Core just needs to go away. On the first, who’s to refute it? As to the rest, we’re in; where do we sign up? But, really, could this be a case of a candidate rolling out his agenda and tailoring it for the audience? After all, he was at Liberty University, the prominent, private Christian institution of higher education in Lynchburg, Va. Maybe not, but we all should watch to see if he stays true as time goes by. Meanwhile, a haiku for Republican Party leadership: Election cometh Too many candidates now Can’t be serious We’ve seen the March Madness-style, Republican presidential-hopeful brackets on social media. It’s supposed to be funny, but it’s not.

The GOP leadership is so dysfunctional that it has a veritable Sweet Sixteen of candidates. If there’s a favorite – and many believe that after an exhaustive search, another Bush (this time, Jeb) will be the answer – it’s probably best to focus on him. Scott Walker (we still like him), Cruz and Mike Huckabee are there to further divide the party, and then throw in Rand Paul and Ben Carson, and possibly George Pataki and Lindsey Graham, among others, and the party could have a huge mess on its hands. But the GOP majors in huge messes. Look no further than the aftermath of Mitt Romney’s beatdown of President Barack Obama in the first of three president debates last election cycle. He had his man down, and he let him back up. We marvel at how Republicans continually screw up the proverbial two-car funeral.

Stone houses

Commentary by Terry Anker

The classic children’s book, The Three Little Pigs, teaches that wolves have an amazing lung capacity and that a stone house is better than a wooden or straw one. Stone houses last a long time. In Peru for a conference, it seemed imprudent to be in the South American country without making the trek to the famed, ancient city of Machu Picchu. The trip was replete with the challenges and peculiarities found so far off the beaten path – trains don’t run in some places during the rainy season due to frequent mud slides, locals drink a beer made from corn and strawberries (yes, it is pink) to wash down a meal of Guinea Pig (yes, the rodent), and central heat (let alone air conditioning) is a luxury beyond even the most deluxe hotels. But, the sheer beauty of the place and the ingenuity of the native people makes for a compelling journey.

The city, built as a retreat by the last of a long line of Inca (loosely translated as King), is believed to have taken many years and as many as

8,000 people to build. The permanent residents of 300 or so were doubled when the Inca and his entourage rolled into town. Engineers perfected stonework, water distribution, and agricultural terracing allowing for what must have been a high quality of life for the privileged few.

With the Spanish invasion, technologies like glass mirrors were introduced. While the Inca may have seen themselves for the first time, we see them only in the stone they left behind.

Like the Inca, the Spaniards did not believe in a shared culture. Maybe, those who live in stone houses shouldn’t throw glass. Ultimately temples were replaced with cathedrals and stone gave way to stucco. Even as we build great monuments, can we expect to enjoy them?

Q U O T E O F T HE W EE K We don’t grow older, we grow riper.

-Pablo Picasso

A while back I was on my way home from dropping a kid at dance/tae kwon do/volleyball/soccer and heard a blip for a nonprofit that organizes letters and care packages for American forces abroad. I’d been contemplating “adopting” a soldier for a while; my children often seem oblivious to anything outside our suburban bubble and could seriously use an injection of patriotism.

So I went to the group’s website, filled out the application and received a phone call from a delightful elderly lady about a week later.

She assigned us two troops, both stationed in Afghanistan, and explained the rules and expectations. Basically we needed to write once a week, send a care package once a month, and not divulge classified material or include porn. Done! I added the letter-writing to the chore chart and shared the news with the kids. They were less than thrilled.

“This is stupid!”; “They don’t care about our lives!”; “What do I even say?” Jeeze! Could they be anymore bratty? I suggested they talk about the Super Bowl, college basketball, their hobbies, the weather, how mean their mom is for making them do this. “It doesn’t matter what you write! Just let them know we are thinking of them.”

Hindering my cause was the fact that we never knew if our notes and “survival essentials” of National Enquirer, Skippy peanut butter and Axe deodorant were arriving. The lady had said the guys may not be able to write back, especially if they were running mountain ops, but she encouraged us to keep up the support. If nothing was returned, we could rest assured they were getting “the goods.”

Then just the other day, two months after our adoptions, three letters arrived from one of our troops, thanking the kids profusely for their efforts. He said he truly looked forward to his weekly “update.” We learned about his young daughter and that he’d be missing the birth of his second; and that he’s a Broncos fan and hates the Patriots.

Finally, my kids understood. This isn’t about adding an extra chore to their lists. This is about making a personal connection with a young soldier who is making sacrifices for them every single day, and about getting the chance to say “Thank you.”

We hope to hear from our other troop soon, but even if we don’t, it’s all good. I’ve already noticed a change in how my children view military personnel, and how they pay a little more attention to the news. “Write Letters” remains on the chart, but I’d argue my kids don’t see it as a chore anymore. Mission accomplished! Peace out.

Brian, Brian, pants on fire Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

Elections only count in May Commentary by Mic Mead

When I saw my CPA Clare this past week, I plopped my shoeboxes full of receipts on her desk. That’s when she told me that she had read my column recently where I boasted that I had already completed my 2014 humor income taxes. Caught in a lie, I must have turned red because Clare jotted something on her legal pad. Any reference to being in the red has to be documented.

When I told my wife about my experience, she said she had seen a pattern of deception develop in my columns over the years. “Like Brian Williams, you have become adept at manipulating the facts. But Brian is way better than you—by about 9.95 million dollars a year. I think you should go back to every one of your 800 columns and print a retraction for each exaggeration and flat-out lie you told. Please correct any references to me where I do not appear to be anything but an intelligent, loving wife. Oh, and a superb cook.”

I was going to have a lot of work to do.

I remember in one column, I recounted how our camera had been stolen in Bermuda, but the thief emailed the photos to me along with a critique of my picture-taking ability and advice on a more flattering hairstyle for Mary Ellen.

Was the camera stolen? Yes! The rest? Not so much.

In another column, I went into the garage naked to get a can of diet soda.

The door locked behind me and I spent the night sleeping in my car. Not completely accurate. I was actually getting a can of beer. Okay, I feel better now.

I think Brian Williams should tell the public that even if it makes his stories less interesting, he will from this moment on be 100 percent truthful. Personally, I’m not ready to make that promise.

‘The Drowsy Chaperone’ a classic twist on the 1920s and middle age

Evan Lurie Gallery hosts artist Gorman

By David Nance • news@currentinwestfield.com

Artist Michael Gorman was hosted by the Evan Lurie Gallery at 30 W Main St. in Carmel earlier this month. Current sat down with Gorman for an interview during his visit. art Q: Tell us about your background.

A: I suppose I’ve never really been far away from art.

My mom is a great painter, so I was always around art. I went off to the military for four years right after high school, and I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. After I got out of the military I wanted to do architecture, went to college at the University of Kansas, and then moved over to industrial art and design.

Q: What led you to your career in painting” A: When I took a painting class, and that was it, I knew. My professor said that I should seriously consider making painting my major, so I did, and I ended up going to Berkley to get my master’s degree. I really never thought I would use my degree, but I did.

Q: What led to partnering with the Evan Lurie Gallery?

A: I met Evan Lurie and his brothers back in 1994, and I gave him some paintings I had left over from college, and they sold them all in a week. That was it. I got a call a few days after and they asked if I could make a few more of these paintings right

away, and offered me a studio, a car, and the money I needed to work. They set me up with everything I needed, and I’ve been working with them ever since. I think they’ve sold a couple thousand pieces of mine over the past 21 years.

Q: What mediums do you work with?

A: I use pretty much everything as my medium. I use alcoholbased, oil-based, and acrylic all together. Whatever you’re not supposed to do, like mix oil and water, that’s the first thing I do.

I find that I get a lot more interesting effects with that kind of conflict going on between the materials.

Q: How has your work evolved over the years?

A: Over the years, my style has evolved a lot. My style reverberates, and goes back and forth between lots of things. I paint in many genres, including cowboys, pop art, collage pieces or fond objects. Any excuse to make a painting. I’ll never run out reasons to make paintings. It’s impossible.

Q: What are you working on at the moment?

A: Right now I’m working on different works. There’s a painting of a blue bull, another with the Statue of Liberty, and more with some gunslingers and ballerinas. I have this thing going with cowboys and ballerinas, a contrast that I’m working on.

Beef & Boards dinner theater is always serving up performances at its northern Indianapolis location. Taking the stage in April the dinner-with-a-show venue will be featuring theater the five-time Tony Award winning musical, “The Drowsy Chaperone.”

The storyline involves a middle-aged theater buff who recalls his favorite musical, “The Drowsy Chaperone.” As he plays the musical’s record, the show comes to life featuring a wedding, gangsters, a theater producer and of course an intoxicated chaperone.

Beginning April 9, Beef & Boards will be hosting this classic, 1920’s themed performance. Based on the book by Bob Martin and Don McKellar, “The Drowsy Chaperone” blends the fun of a musical with the hilarity of a comedy.

“It’s basically a musical within a comedy,” choreographer and producer Ron Morgan said. “The show comes to life in the imagination of a musical theatre enthusiast. The music is really fun. The music is really in the 20’s sort of style and that period is so much fun to stage to and choreograph to so that’s really the appeal, I think, is the music.”

Morgan said that, for him, what separates “The Drowsy Chaperone” from other performances he’s produced are the comprehensive characters.

“I think what’s different about it is just it’s really defined characters that your working with,” he said. “It’s really over the top, defined characters in the 20’s and so it makes it actually really fun to work on because you have something more to go on. Its not just music it’s the characters and the story. The story really is those told through those production numbers because of how the show is written, so that’s why it’s more my cup of tea because as a director it comes from the production numbers and the choreography.”

WHAT TO EXPECT: Options to Resolve Your Case Prior to Trial In family law, a majority of cases settle outside of the courtroom.

There are many reasons to attempt to reach a settlement, including uncertainty as to the judge’s decision, anxiety about testifying in court, the potential to increase animosity between the parties, and the attorney’s fees associated with attending a hearing. It is common for a party to never step foot inside of a courtroom because the parties reach an Agreement on all terms without the requiring the court’s intervention. There are two primary methods to reach an out-of-court agreement: informal negotiations and mediation. Informal negotiations involve communication between the parties and/or their counsel concerning the terms of a final agreement. This process involves communication as to the terms of a final agreement without the assistance of a third party (a mediator or judge). In some instances, the parties may be able to reach an agreement on the general terms of an agreement and engage counsel to assist with the finalization of those terms to ensure approval by the court. In other cases, counsel for the parties will exchange proposals and draft agreements in an attempt to reach a resolution.

intensive and focused settlement negotiations. The Mediator’s role is to assist the parties in their attempt to reach common ground by addressing certain considerations as to an anticipated reasonable outcome in court as well as other realistic and pragmatic concerns with any proposed settlement. There are instances where parties do not reach an agreement during mediation. In that case, a final hearing is the next step as the mediator does not have the authority to order the parties to comply with certain terms or reach a final agreement.

In the event parties are unable to reach an Agreement through informal negotiations, mediation is a common next step.

Mediation may be agreed upon by the parties or ordered by the court. At mediation, the parties are typically placed in separate rooms with their counsel and the Mediator serves as the neutral third party who exchanges proposals between the parties in

A recent trend in family law is for parties to engage in a collaborative divorce process. In such instances, parties are focused on reaching a collaborative agreement and hire respective counsel trained to do so. The process is similar in many respects to informal negotiations and mediation, with the ultimate goal of reaching an agreeable settlement. One different aspect of the collaborative law process is that in the event parties are unable to reach a settlement, they must hire new counsel and begin the process anew.

Hancock’s signature piece for Easter

By Devynn Barnes • news@currentinwestfield.com It’s a story with which most are familiar, but with a modern and artistic twist. This Easter, you can relive the last week performance of Jesus’ life with all the color, music and movement characteristic of a Gregory Hancock production. “SUPERHERO: The Story of a Man Called Jesus” is a show set in “anytime and everyplace” that chronicles Jesus’ last week, and his relationships with Judas Iscariot, Mother Mary, Mary Magdalene and his disciples. Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre will have shows on April 3-4.

Kirsten Ferger, President of the Board of Directors for the dance company, says the show has been an audience favorite since the company debuted it eight years ago.

“It takes the characters that we know in the story and it gives the audience a very personal experience of what that week was like,” Ferger said. “It brings the story to a very human level.”

The show is a signature work of Gregory Hancock, who Ferger says is known for his ability to connect with the audience emotionally. He uses his company of world-class dancers as well as elaborate sets, lighting and music to create a show that’s exciting, but is also a respectful tribute to the story many people know and love.

“He is very aware that even though it’s his artistic retelling, he must consider the thoughts and feelings of who will be in his audience,”

Actors from Gregory Hancock perform ‘SUPERHERO.’ (Submitted photo)

Ferger said.

The story is a classic, but what makes the show so unique is that it’s meant to be not time or place-specific. It can be interpreted as taking place anywhere at any point in history.

“Jesus’ story was about keeping kindness and love in every day,” Ferger said. “When you hear the story of the last week of Jesus, it’s always put back in time 2000 years ago. Mr. Hancock wanted to bring that story alive as it happens every day.”

The perfect show for the Easter season, SUPERHERO will be at The Tarkington at The Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel April 3 and 4 at 7 p.m. Tickets can be purchased by calling 8433800 or online at www.thecenterfortheperformingarts.com.

Coconut oil: The best fat fighter?

Commentary by Cory Black

Everyone has some body fat they want to lose. Adding coconut oil to your diet is one way to help drop pounds. So how nutrition can coconut oil help you lose fat?

Coconut oil is primarily made up of medium chain triglycerides (MCTs). Unlike the typical long chain triglycerides (LCTs) in our diet, MCTs are easily broken down immediately for use rather than stored, whereas, LCTs found in other dietary fats produce some energy but are more likely to end up as body fat.

It’s because the medium chain fatty acids (MCTs) found in coconut oil are rapidly absorbed that they help reduce fat stores. MCTs provide a rapid energy source that provide a thermogenic effect, which subsequently increases metabolism and helps burns your fat stores. One study, published in Metabolism, found that calories burned shortly after consuming MCTs were almost twice as high as from normal fat sources: 120 calories versus 66 calories.

Conventional dietary fats (LCTs), on the other hand, have the same chemical structure as body fat, which is why excess calories from conventional fats are very prone to being stored.

Coconut oil and MCTs have a smaller molecular structure. It is easier for your body to absorb and transport MCTs directly from the small intestine

to the liver by the portal vein. In the liver, some of the MCTs are turned into ketone bodies, which the muscles can use for energy. A portion is converted to ATP, the energy currency of the cell.

MCT is processed in the liver and there is little left to be stored as fat.

Unlike hydrogenated coconut oils from the past, a virgin coconut oil is not hydrogenated and has zero cholesterol. In fact, coconut oil is one of the healthiest fats to have in your diet.

It also has other health benefits, such as lauric acid, which has amazing antiviral, antibacterial and antiprotozoal properties.

Add a little coconut oil to your diet and harness some natural fat loss benefits from MCTs. Cory Black is the owner of PointBlank Nutrition in Carmel. He may be contacted at 569-5368 or cory@ pointblanknutrition.com.

February home prices rise Commentary by Jim Litten With 2,036 pended sales in February in Central Indiana, overall year-to-date home sales are up 8.3 percent compared to real estate this time period last year, according to statistics compiled by F.C. Tucker Company.

On a monthly basis, February 2015 pended home sales rose 2.7 percent compared to February 2014, an increase of 53 homes sold in the nine counties that F.C. Tucker tracks. Six of the nine counties reported increased sales compared to February 2014, including Hamilton County where sales rose .2 percent to 417 homes.

• In Westfield, home sales are stable. Last month, 60 homes pended, the same number of homes compared to February 2014.

• Inventory is shrinking in Westfield. In February 2015, 194 homes were available for sale, a modest decrease of 2.5 percent from February 2014.

• Home prices in Westfield continue to make gains. For the first two months of this year,

home prices averaged $309,915, an increase of 12.9 percent compared to the same time period last year.

• Of the pended home sales in Westfield last month, seven were priced $500,000 to $999,999; seven were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 18 were priced $200,000 to 299,999; 27 were priced $100,000 to $199,999 and one was priced at $99,999 or less.

• Inventory continues to move quickly. In Westfield, homes remain on the market an average of 78 days, 11 fewer days than the same time period last year.

We’re excited to see the first quarter moving in a positive direction. As we head toward the spring selling months, we’re optimistic that modest sales gains will continue across most of Central Indiana.

QUESTION: “Dear Grammar Guy, is there a difference between ‘marinate’ and ‘marinade?’ I was flipping through a grammar guy cook book the other day and the author seemed to be a real stickler for those two words. It made me wonder. Thanks for responding!”

ANSWER: As grilling season will be fast upon us, this seems like a perfect time to jump into this one. Let’s get to it!

The big difference here is that “marinade” is a noun, while “marinate” is a verb.

A “marinade” is a sauce “in which meat or fish is soaked to add flavor” or to make more tender.

For some reason the dictionary discriminates against veggie-lovers here, but I don’t: go ahead and drop whatever you like into a marinade, vegetarian readers. I’m personally fond of dropping some bell peppers, onions and tomatoes into a

nice lemony marinade for kabobs.

Now I’m hungry … but, back to grammar!

To “marinate” is to put your meat or veggies of choice into the sauce. It’s as simple as that, really.

Now, before I draw the wrath of the culinary community upon me, there is a word used in the kitchen for soaking non-protein items in liquid – “mascerate.” It’s used primarily to mean softening fruit by steeping in a liquid. “Marinate” and “marinade” are perfectly acceptable for the rest of us, though.

That’s it! Now that our grammar question is settled, on to more gastronomic pursuits: grilling season is almost here!

The Garden and Gethsemane Commentary by Don Knebel During Passion Week, Christians around the world will rehear the story of Jesus’ agony in the “Garden of Gethsemane.” Travelers to travel Jerusalem can visit what is said to be the very garden. But whether Jesus ever set foot in that garden is far from certain.

Surprising to many Christians, the Bible never mentions a “Garden of Gethsemane.” The Gospels of Mark and Matthew report that Jesus shared a Passover meal with his disciples before going to “Gethsemane,” a corruption of Hebrew words literally meaning “wine press for oils,” where he prayed and was then betrayed by Judas. The Gospel of John says Jesus prayed with his disciples the night before Passover and was later betrayed by Judas in an unnamed “garden.”

From these accounts, some Christians concluded that Gethsemane was a garden, while others concluded Jesus prayed at the site of a wine press and then went to a garden.

Since the fourth century, Christians have identified multiple locations near the foot of the Mount of Olives matching their own conceptions of Gethsemane. The most popular site is a walled garden across the Kidron Valley from the Temple Mount. It includes flower-lined paths and eight olive trees carbon-dated to the time of the Crusaders, making them the oldest such trees on earth. The adjoining Church of All Nations, built in the 1920s on the site of earlier churches, is

Traditional “Garden of Gethsemane” on Mount of Olives (Photo by Don Knebel)

claimed to cover the stone on which Jesus knelt while he prayed. At least three other locations on the Mount of Olives, including a cave said to have housed an ancient wine press, are also associated with the Biblical accounts of Jesus’ agony in Gethsemane. The traditional choices for Gethsemane are all near major first century roads crossing the Mount of Olives. Some scholars believe a secluded location north and east of traditional locations would be a more likely spot for someone seeking to pray.

For Christian visitors to Jerusalem, whether the traditional sites of Gethsemane are precisely the place of Jesus’s agony is irrelevant. Being in the vicinity of where Jesus prayed on the night before his crucifixion is close enough.

Creating an open, contemporary concept kitchen Commentary by Larry Greene

before & after

EXISTING KITCHEN: Located in the Springmill Streams subdivision in Carmel, this 20-year-old kitchen had a choppy blueprint for layout that didn’t work improvement for the homeowners.

A large walk-in pantry monopolized too much space and divided the kitchen from the formal dining room. The homeowners’ dream was to create an open-concept layout for better flow and modernize the design for a more contemporary look.

REMOVING PANTRY: To create the desired open layout, the pantry and walls separating the kitchen from the dining room were eliminated.

As a result, the space now feels spacious and bright. In place of the pantry, a new desk was installed using maple cabinetry with a “Coco” finish. A Cambria “Torquay” countertop was chosen to contrast with the dark cabinetry.

TIEING IN DINING AREA: To compensate for lost storage from the terminated pantry, new contrasting cabinets with a “Polar” finish and a Cambria “Wellington” countertop were installed along the far dining room wall to store rarely used china and kitchen accessories. The new pantry wall also functions as a buffet for formal dinner parties.

MODERN DETAILS: The existing layout of the kitchen worked well; it simply needed to be modernized. The same two-toned cabinetry and

Cambria countertops from the desk and dining area were used for the kitchen perimeter wall and island for consistency. A separate beverage station was added to keep traffic out of the main prep area. The sleek stainless steel appliances and glass tile backsplash polish off the desired contemporary look.

CONNECTING KITCHEN WITH DINING ROOM: LED recessed can lights, under cabinet lighting and new pendants installed on dimmer switches adds visual interest and helps connect the two spaces. New hardwood flooring was installed throughout the main level to create a continuous look.
