Fox Hollow development proposes 4 lots

By Michael Rheinheimer news@currentinwestfield.com The Westfield Advisory Plan Commission held a public hearing for the Fox HollowMonon Hills planned unit DEVELOPMENT development June 3. According to the petition’s original document, Noah Herron, a Westfield resident and the owner of Urban Vines Winery and Brewery, is requesting a change in zoning for an 8-acre tract. If approved, the overall development plan and primary plat will turn the area into four residential plots. Each plot will be zoned as SF2, single-family, lowdensity housing.

According to the location map, the property is at the southwest corner of 156th Street and the Monon Trail. Lots 1, 2 and 3 are planned

to face the Monon Trail. Lot 4 will face 156th Street and be the largest of the lots at 3 acres.

“These lot sizes are the equivalent, or larger, to most residential lots in this area,” Herron said. “My wife and I plan to build our home on lot No. 2 and sell the three remaining lots.”

Herron told the commission that the lot sizes and custom homes will fit the architectural and landscaping styles of other houses in Westfield.

“We believe the project will not decrease the value of any neighbors’ homes,” he said.

“We also believe that this project will add value to Westfield, and we hope to keep all the existing trees and natural features on this land.”

No one spoke during the public hearing.

The original proposed name for the neighborhood was Fox Hollow. But according to Herron, there was a conflict with the name.

He said the newly proposed name of Monon Hills would remain, barring unforseen issues.

The plan commission did not vote on the proposal at the meeting.

New group targets invasive species in Hamilton County

By Riya Chinni • news@currentinwestfield.com To combat the issue of invasive species plaguing Hamilton County and surrounding areas, a group of residents is starting a Cooperative Invasive Species Management Area.

Members want to build a foundaENVIRONMENT tion for the CISMA movement in the county.

Phil Flannagan, spokesman and leader of the grassroots organization, said organizers held an exploratory meeting in February.

“There were probably 40 people in the room, and 38 were

representing various government or public (organizations), like the parks and recreation department, the highway department, the forestry department,” Flannagan said. “Everybody is dealing with invasives in some form or fashion.”

He said the group’s goal is to collectively utilize funds allocated to address environmental issues in a more effective way and educate the public about invasive species, which not only negatively affect the environment but also annually cost Indiana more than $5.7 million, according to the Indiana Native Plant & Wildflower Society.

Flannagan said invasive species can cause a domino effect that harms ecosystems.

“Some of the berries (invasive plants produce), birds eat them, but it’s like a sugar high. There’s no real nutrition there. It’s this interconnectivity of animals, plants, everything,” Flannagan said. “That’s when the bell went off in my head. It’s nice to eradicate them, but let’s educate people on why not to plant them in the first place.”

Educating the public, Flannagan said, is a priority for the CISMA. “I think most people, if they knew what was going on, they wouldn’t plant something like that,” Flannagan said.

Sets of triplets remain friends years later

CBD SOURCED WISELY™

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com When Westfield resident Lauren Blake gave birth to triplets Grace, Andrew and Beau at 27 weeks, the family took up three bed spots in the St. Vincent FAMILY NICU on 86th Street. When the babies were healthy enough to be moved, another Westfield resident and her triplets took their spots.

Amanda Malik gave birth to Cecilia, Madeline and Graham Dec. 9, 2015, only a few months after Blake gave birth to hers Oct. 8, 2015. Four years after meeting in the hospital, the moms — and their children — remain friends.

“Since we were in the NICU in the same space, the nurses started telling me, ‘We have another set of triplets,’” Malik said.

“But because of HIPAA law, you can’t go nosing around. Lauren realized where we were and left me a note one day. That’s how we met. Lauren was the first triplet mom I had ever met, and I held on for dear life because I had no idea what I was doing.”

“Through discussing, we realized we both lived in Westfield and they all would graduate high school in 2033,” Blake said.

Through the years, the triplets have

enjoyed countless play dates together, and Blake and Malik said they’ve remained friends with the NICU nurses who cared for them.

The moms said one of the challenges of raising triplets is spending individual time with each child.

“Making sure they all get their own individual attention is a big one, and when you go through a bad stage, you go through it times three,” Blake said.

“When you have a teething baby, you

have three teething babies,” Malik said.

“When they get the stomach flu, you don’t have one puking 2-year-old, you have three puking 2-year-olds,” Malik said.

A positive to having triplets, though, is each milestone is reached at the same time.

“They also have a really tight bond. My kids go to preschool and they don’t go away from each other very often,” Blake said. “No man left behind.”

“They take care of each other. They look out for each other,” Malik said.

BACKYARD BREWING

First homebrew festival comes to Westfield, offers unique beers for tasting

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Indiana on Tap owner Justin Knepp calls homebrewing the epitome of craft beer. That’s part of the reason why the state’s largest homebrew beer festival, COVER STORY Homebrew Palooza, will conduct an inaugural event June 22 in Westfield.

“The thing about homebrewed beer is a lot of these beers are so uniquely brewed that a true craft beer fan can come to this event to try beers that will never exist again,” Knepp said. “It’s different when you go to a brewery and enjoy a beer and you can go get it next week. This is an opportunity to try high-quality beers that it may be the only time you can try this beer.”

Grand Junction Brewing Company, 1189 E. 181st St., volunteered its space for Homebrew Palooza. The event will be from 2 to 6 p.m. June 22.

Homebrew Palooza will be larger even than Whitestown Brewfest, a popular craft beer festival at which 40 homebrewers compete to win the Whitestown Home Brew Trophy.

Homebrew Palooza was created through a partnership between Indiana on Tap and Circle City Zymurgy, a homebrew club based in Indianapolis.

“We’ve had a relationship with them for the last couple of years and got to know them,” Knepp said. “They’ve poured at several of our events. We had a couple of small featured events just featuring guys from Circle City Zymurgy and their homebrewed beer. Several months ago, they had the idea of doing an event of their own for a good cause. The reason we got (invited), given what we do, we came to an agreement to help plan. It was such a natural fit because of the relationship we had with these guys.”

Homebrew Palooza will exclusively serve homebrewed beer from more than 12 homebrew clubs across the state and approximately 50 homebrewers. Proceeds will benefit Boone County Habitat for Humanity and its House that Beer Built Initiative, a partnership between Habitat for Humanity, local craft breweries and patrons to fund and build a Habitat for Humanity home in Boone County.

Nick Boling, a lead member of Circle City Zymurgy and a homebrewer, came up with the idea to plan an event when people approached him at beer fests asking if he had a specific homebrew from a past festival.

“This event started because Jeremiah Tyson, the other guy and I, we basically planned this thing and reached out to Justin when we discovered we would go to (festivals) and people would come specifically to our table and say,

A BEER

1. Obtain grains and crush them.

2. Heat water in a hot liquor tank.

3. Add grains to the water when a certain temperature is reached, typically between 112 and 140 degrees. This is called “mashing in.”

4. Allow the grain and water to remain at a constant temperature for roughly an hour.

The mixture of water and grain at this point is called “the mash” and the mixture is sitting in a “mash tun.”

5. After a set time, open the drain and let the liquid to flow out from the grains. The liquid is called the wort, which contains the sugar goodness that will be consumed by the yeast later and the byproduct will be alcohol.

6. When the wort has been drained, the remaining grains must be rinsed to get every last ounce of goodness out of them.

The process is called sparging. Water is poured over the remaining grain and is allowed to drain into the wort.

Equipment commonly used for homebrewing.

‘Do you have X beer you made at this event?’” Boling said.

“We started catching more and more of that, and we get the idea, ‘Let’s have a festival of our own.’ We threw that idea around until we met with Tim Dall, a Boone County Habitat for Humanity supporter, who put us in touch with Grand Junction.”

Food trucks will be available and live music will be performed. Presale tickets are $30. They are $40 the day of the event. Designated-driver tickets are $10.

Some of the beers Boling has homebrewed include a strawberry milkshake IPA, a raspberry shandy and a cinnamon stout.

For more, visit events.ontaptickets.com.

7. When all of the rinsing and draining is complete, the liquid is boiled in a boil pot.

Typically, this takes one hour and is when the hops are added.

8. After one hour, the wort is cooled and poured into a bucket/fermentation chamber/carboy 9. Add yeast and let the beer sit for two to six weeks. This is called primary fermentation.

10. After that, the beer is carbonated and bottled, or kegged and is ready to drink.

ESSAY Coming of age

LETTER Wilson is satire

Commentary by Terry Anker Ours is increasingly a “youth” culture — not in that we have particular respect for the young, but more that we seem all too fixated on what it is to affect the impression of such in those of us who are decidedly not, at least in any real chronological way. Awaiting the semi-annual dental cleaning, one might peruse the accumulated and sundry magazines scattered in the waiting room. Even the casual observer flipping through the pages is struck by the age and appearance of the models shilling products and services. With the occasional expectation of pharmaceutical ads, the folks often sexualizing the goods are children. In fact, data aggregator Statista.com reports that 55 percent of working female fashion models begin younger than 16.

Of particular concern is that highend design houses are often the most egregious with children being used to overtly titillate and tempt.

One hopes that the world of shoppers is not secretly overwhelmingly comprised of pedophiles. So, why are children parading around in adult clothing like some perverted game of dress-up?

Has our obsession to see ourselves as young driven this twist?

Plastic surgeries, especially among men, are up exponentially these past decades. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, overall procedures are up 115 percent since the year 2000 alone.

Even more, we affect hipster language, wear clothing that, suffice it to say, may not be designed with a middle-aged body in mind.

Is it enough to say that we are the best we can be for our age group without fixating that we look the youngest? Can we like the age we are? Haven’t we earned it?

Editor, Danielle Wilson has been receiving some negative comments of late, recently regarding her column on kids coming home for the summer. Her columns are meant to be light reading. It’s humor. It’s satire. Come on people, lighten up! I enjoy her writing and hope she keeps up the good work.

Family enjoys Wilson column

Another graduation jubilation Commentary by Danielle Wilson I survived another high school graduation, folks, and this time I never even came close to tears. Am I a terrible mother? Did I throw out my soul with the HUMOR thousands of dirty diapers I’ve changed? Or was my impressive lack of melancholy because seeing two more kiddos prepare to leave the nest makes me outrageously giddy? Let’s explore.

Despite winning co-Mom of the Year back in 2002 (yes, it’s true), I’ve definitely dropped the parenting ball on numerous occasions.

I’ve allowed naked toddlers in public libraries, forgotten middle-schoolers after practice and skipped dance competitions and color guard championships more times than I can count. I also rarely cook anything that doesn’t begin life in a Kraft box and yell at my family when they are loud past 9 p.m.. (Mama needs her sleep!). But terrible mother? My twins graduated, didn’t they?

And neither has been incarcerated!

And I’m not soulless. I’m stoic. If I’m going to become emotional, I much prefer the privacy of McDonald’s bathrooms and Chick-fil-A drive-thrus to a stadium full of strangers. So, I suppress all feelings until I can be alone (you’re welcome, by the way; I’m an awkward weeper). But that doesn’t mean I’m devoid of a soul (although being a redhead might!).

This brings us to the last possibility, that I’m simply excited to have finished the marathon of raising twins. And what a race it has been! When I remember those early days of double feedings, diaper changes and carseats, I’m amazed at how far they’ve come.

And how far I’ve come.

Was I going to cry over their graduation?

Absolutely not. Fist bumps were in order.

Peace out.

Editor, For the record, I love Danielle Wilson’s column.

I find it humorous, real and entertaining, among other things. Our family moved here from North Carolina approximately five years ago, and I started reading her column shortly thereafter. My husband has even started reading it.

So, to the negative Nellie who felt compelled to write a complaint about her, I’m writing to affirm our enjoyment of her stories!

And as Ms. Wilson would say, “Peace out!”

Can I test-dive the submarine car?

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie The sender of a recent email to me identified herself as “Brand Manager, Hammacher Schlemmer.” This could have HUMOR meant only two things: Trouble or big trouble.

In a recent column about the Hammacher Schlemmer Father’s Day gifts issue, I made fun of their Kangaroo Skin Wallet (they took the only animal that could carry a wallet and made one out of him) and their life-size reproduction of an iconic Central Park bench which I said (falsely) came with squirrels and pigeons. I clicked on the email, wondering if my insurance covered lawsuits for making fun of selfie toasters. To my great relief, here’s the gist of what the letter said: “This is Ann Marie from Hammacher Schlemmer. We are very proud of our brand and appreciate your humorous descriptions of our products. So Hammacher Schlemmer would like to send you something. Can we just call it a thank you?”

Yes … YES, call it a thank you. Or feel free to call it a bribe. Whatever gets me the coolest gift.

Ann Marie then called and asked me what gift I would choose. I told her I wanted to do a little research. I Googled, “Most expensive Hammacher Schlemmer Gifts” and here were three I found: Emotive Robotic Avatar: At only $65,000, you can get it to talk, and it expresses five emotions (which might be two or three more than your significant other) The submarine sports car: At $2 million, the vehicle has two built-in scuba tanks, allowing you to stay underwater for two hours — something you can’t do with a $6 snorkel and a pair of flippers.

The fire-breathing dragon: This is a remote-controlled dragon that flies 70 mph and shoots flames out of its mouth. It’s only $75,000. At that price, I assume the batteries are sold separately.

I think I’ll just request a $20 gift certificate.

Note to Hammacher Schlemmer: If you do decide to send me the $2 million submarine sports car, I promise I’ll write a funny column about it.

Local woman uses HELP program

By Jessica Hoover news@currentinwestfield.com Tangram, an Indianapolis-based organization that helps individuals with disabilities plan, support and sustain RESOURCES ways to live actively and independently, launched its HELP Resource Center last summer. The center connects individuals and families to community resources, such as utility assistance, government benefits, insurance providers, food stamps, housing assistance, and child care, among other services.

“Last year, we got a lot of phone calls from individuals who just didn’t know where to start,” said Megan Lauman, manager of life coaching and behavior special projects at Tangram. “There weren’t a lot of services out there that they could call. They were often just handed information or told to go to websites, which aren’t always user-friendly. It made people want to give up, so we started the HELP Resource Center.”

So far, the center has helped 26 people, including Westfield resident Saundra Brant-

ley. She has a developmental disability and a mental disorder which cause manic states and leads to paranoia.

“When I was first introduced to Saundra, she was in a significant and frequent mental health crisis,” Lauman said. “We were able to get her in with a psychiatrist that was able to get her on the right medication.

Once that was done, it’s really been night and day. The changes are remarkable.”

Brantley said she was having trouble finding a job before discovering the center because of her anxiety and the trauma of her mother dying in 2011. Brantley also needed help finding health insurance because few mental health providers cover individuals with developmental disabilities.

The HELP Resource Center connected Brantley with experts and resources and she now has health insurance and a job as a house painter.

“I’m working right now, and so far, I like the work that I’m doing,” Brantley said.

Westfield Playhouse signs up for ‘Social Security’

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Jen Otterman determined “Social Security” was the right fit for Westfield Playhouse.

COMEDY The longtime Noblesville resident said “Social Security” was one she submitted as a possibility for her to direct for Main Street Productions.

“I chose it because I thought it would play well on their stage and because it is a lighthearted, funny play that deals well with some of our current cultural issues,” Otterman said.

Main Street Productions will present “Social Security” for eight performances June 14 to 30 at Westfield Playhouse.

“I had previously acted the role of Trudy in it years ago at The Red Barn Summer Theatre,” Otterman said. “I also used cuttings from it with my speech team at Hamilton Southeastern High School when I taught there.”

The story focuses on art gallery owner Barbara Kahn and her relationship with her mother, Sophie Greengrass. Trudy Heyman, Kahn’s sister, drops her mother off so she and her husband, Martin, can go check on her sexually precocious daughter at college.

Fishers resident Ka’Lena Cuevas plays Barbara. This is her third time performing in a Westfield Playhouse show.

“I have a troublesome relationship with my sister and mom, who come unexpectedly,” Cuevas said. “My mom literally gets dumped on my doorstop. It’s a very fun role to play. There is a lot of physical comedy. There’s lots of glib humor, sarcasm and sophisticated jokes. There are some poignant moments, too.”

Cuevas said it’s by far her most challenging role.

Erik Shaver, a southside Indianapolis resident, plays her husband, David. Shaver hasn’t performed since he was a student at Wabash about a decade ago. His friend, Cuevas, suggested he try it.

“This character is very glib, he’s very sarcastic,” Shaver said. “You should give it a read. When I read it, I thought it was great.”

Mraz to perform Nov. 17 at Palladium editorial@youarecurrent.com Following a tour of arenas and outdoor venues across North America, Europe and Asia, Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Jason Mraz has announced a Nov. 17 date at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

Backing Mraz on the newly announced tour of theaters and music halls will be the Los Angeles-based folk-rock quartet Raining Jane, longtime collaborators who often perform with Mraz and played on his 2014 acoustic album, “Yes!” The tour is billed as “Ladies & Gentleman, An Evening with Jason Mraz & Raining Jane.”

The performance is set for 7 p.m. Nov. 17.

Tickets are available now with series subscriptions to the 2019-20 Center Presents Season, sponsored by Allied Solutions. Subscriptions are available online at TheCenterPresents.org and through the box office at 317-843-3800 or toll-free at 877-909-ARTS (2787).

This is her second show at Westfield Playhouse.

“I’ve been acting a little over three years,” Warner said. “I’ve enjoyed it very much and made a lot of new friends. This is a fun script. It’s fast-paced, lots of oneliners, lots of laughs, lots of sex jokes. Jen is one of my favorite directors, so working for her is a real fun thing for me.”

Thom Johnson, another Westfield resident, plays Martin. He has been in three of the last four shows at Westfield Playhouse.

“There is a challenge playing a character from New York and Jewish as far as accent,” Johnson said. “I’ve played a Jewish role before as Morrie in ‘Tuesdays with Morrie’ for 18 performances at six different venues. The other challenge is timing. The timing in comedies is actually more difficult than a drama. I like the challenge.”

Westfield resident Tom Smith performs as Maurice Koenig, a successful artist who is featured at the Kahns’ gallery.

“I’m 90 years old, so I don’t have to worry about blocking or move around much,” Smith said. “I like the role because I love comedy, and this is a very quick, clever comedy. It’s not too big for me. I don’t have so many lines to memorize.”

Smith last appeared at Westfield Playhouse in “Picnic” in the summer of 2018, which Otterman also directed.

Smith performed in Catalyst Repertory’s “Master Class” with Indianapolis Opera in May and “To Kill a Mockingbird” with Civic Theatre in February. In between, he was in an Easter production for Legacy Bible Church in Noblesville.

“I try to keep busy all the time,” Smith said.

Noblesville resident Susan Hill is cast as Sophie.

It will now be easier to view Kroger Symphony on the Prairie’s performances from anywhere in the venue.

MUSIC “We have huge LED screens, so 8-meter screens, one on each side of the stage, and there is a 6-meter screen back near the playground towards the back of the lawn,” said Kristin Cutler, Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra director of communications. “These will be magnifying the action on the stage during each concert. There will be additional content rolling on the screens prior to the concert. It will have more of a stadium-feel to it, so we think that will be an exciting enhancement to the concert experience.”

For 11 of the remaining concerts, there will be reserved seating for the area in front of the stage. Cutler said there will be 200 reserved seats. There is exclusive bar service in the reserved seating area and for the tables. The first three shows of the season had reserved seating as well.

“For some of the bigger-name acts like Smokey Robinson, Scott McCreery, Wynonna and 98 Degrees, you’ll have the ability to

Clair presents dark comedy

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com It started as a 10-minute script-writing exercise in a playwriting class. Yet, when June McCarty Clair received THEATER so much positive feedback for a dark comedy about a funeral, she decided to expand it to a fulllength play.

“When people heard what it was about, I invariably saw heads nod, and folks would say, ‘Let me tell you my story,’” Clair said.

The Carmel resident said she found that a funeral often brings out the best and the worst in family members. Clair said greed and jealousy can rear their ugly heads.

Clair’s “In the Presence of My Enemies” will run June 21 to 30 at The Cat in Carmel after a trial at DivaFest in April.

“When I started this project, I thought it would be interesting to write about family dynamics in planning a funeral,” Clair said.

“But the more I researched and wrote, I realized this could also be a cautionary tale, told in an amusing way, to warn people to have a plan in place and documents organized so there is as little family fighting as possible.”

Bridget Schlebecker and Priscilla Ball will reprise their roles as Sarah and Rhoda, respectively. Nan Macy, Annalise Lowry,

Megan Jacobs, Alan Cloe and Kristin Miller round out the cast.

Ball and Miller are from Carmel. Macy is from Columbus, Ind. The rest of the performers are from Indianapolis.

Clair said DivaFest limited scripts to a one-hour run time. The show at The Cat will run 90 minutes, with new scenes.

The production is by Carmel Theatre Company, which is run by Clair and her husband, John, who will direct the play.

Tickets for the six performances can be purchased at Brown Paper Tickets, tinyurl. com/my-enemies, or by calling 317-582-1007.

Duo to teach mini-camps

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Julia Kalustian figured she had a great way to work this summer while spending time alongside her mother.

ART “We approached Fishers Parks and Recreation because I wanted to share my love of art with the children while giving them a fun summer camp,” Kalustian said.

Kalustian and her mother, Debbie Kalustian, a first-grade teacher at Brooks School Elementary, will run DJ Art Workshops’ mini-camps for three days for four weeks for ages 6-12 at Cumberland Park recreation building, 10580 Cumberland Rd., from 9 a.m. to noon. A 2017 Fishers High School graduate and Indiana Wesleyan University student, she has tutored kids in art at her university.

“I wanted to keep the camp themes both fun and engaging for the summer,” said Kalustian, who is studying elementary education and art. “I want these camps to be a memorable experience for the kids, so I chose themes that I thought they would have fun exploring with art. I love to work with children by inspiring them to expand their creativity. I think I will be able to do so through these camps.”

Julia Kalustian displays her artwork promoting mini-art camps. (Submitted photo)

Debbie is looking forward to seeing her daughter instruct.

“Julia is so creative and fun and I’m excited to see her in action sharing her love of art with kids,” Debbie said. “She always loved art as a student in HSE schools and this is her way of giving back. I know the kids will love the themes and project ideas they will get to make with her at camp.”

The camps are Under the Sea Mini-Camp, June 18-20; Olympic Sports Mini-Camp, July 1-3; Camping Theme Mini-Camp, July 16-18; and Outer Space Mini-Camp, July 30-Aug 1.

Owner Keith Dusko made it for me. The roll combines chicken tempura, brie cheese, Les’ pepper jelly, crunchy apples and yams, so if you’re new to the sushi world or nervous about raw fish, this might be a good roll for you.

I also sampled the Eskimo Popper Roll ($14), which

7/14: Rockstar Energy Drink

consists of tempura-fried salmon, green onion, cream cheese and jalapenos.

Chiba Indy is one of my favorite places to visit in Westfield, and not only because of the A-1 sushi. I love the patio atmosphere, which features soft lighting, ferns and an adorable back bar perfect for date nights.

Suggested pairings: I’ve recently discovered that I’m a fan of all things sake, so if you’re going to Chiba Indy, I suggest asking for the sake menu. Order the Ozeki-Nigori bottle ($29). Seriously, order the whole bottle. It’s worth it. Chiba Indy’s menu describes Ozeki-Nigori sake as bold, sweet, rich and robust. It’s a refreshing choice.

Should’ve known better Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Reichstag Building in Berlin, Germany. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Berlin’s dome of openness Commentary by Don Knebel Berlin’s Reichstag Building has become Germany’s second-most visited building, reflecting both its historical TRAVEL significance and its technological sophistication.

In 1871, independent German states united to form the German Empire, with its capital in Berlin. A committee of the Reichstag, the Imperial Diet, selected a site just north of the Brandenburg Gate for a new parliament building and held a competition to determine the building’s architecture. The winning design, featuring a steel and glass cupula at the center, was based on Philadelphia’s Memorial Hall, built for the 1876 World’s Fair. The Reichstag of the Weimar Republic met in the same building. In 1933, a fire, thought by many to have been started by the new Nazi government, severely damaged the building. Hitler immediately blamed Communists and radicals for the fire and used it as the pretext for assuming dictatorial powers. During World War II, the Reichstag Building was further damaged by Allied bombing. After the war, with the capital of West Germany in Bonn, the building

remained vacant.

After German reunification, the federal government moved its capital to Berlin and restored the Reichstag Building for use by the Bundestag, the German parliament.

The restoration included adding a huge glass dome at the center of the building, replacing the original cupula that had been destroyed. The Bundestag meets under the clear dome, symbolizing the openness of Germany’s democratic government. An inverted cone in the middle of the dome, covered in mirrors, directs daylight toward the legislative chamber and reflects the inside lights toward the dome at night. A giant shield inside the dome electronically follows the sun and blocks direct sunlight.

Two interior helical ramps allow citizens to climb to the dome’s apex, fostering the idea that the German people are above their government and also offering a spectacular 360-degree view of modern Berlin.

Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP. For the full column visit donknebel.com. You may contact him at news@currentzionsville. com.

Set a bowl of vinegar in the affected room for about 30 minutes. The odor should be much less noticeable.

Americans like being the best at things.

We’re the best at baseball, jazz, freedom, national parks — GRAMMAR GUY pretty much anything Ken Burns has already covered. Yes, living in the Land of Opportunity is glorious. Today, I’d like to award us (and, by us, I mean U.S.) a supersized gold medal for smashing words together more efficiently than anyone else in the world.

Because Americans value efficiency, we combine multiple words into one super word. One way we do this is through contractions. Don’t worry—I’m not talking about the kind of contractions that lead to babies. I’m talking about combining two words to make one short word. These words include don’t (do not), we’ve (we have) and can’t (can not). Yes, contractions increase our efficiency so we have more time to manage our burgeoning stock portfolios while refilling our Big Gulps (for free). But some contractions can be tricky.

Have you ever been tripped up by should’ve? Should’ve is a contraction for

July 3 - July 4

“should have.” For instance, “I should’ve worn sunscreen when we were at the zoo.”

What about “should of?” As Americans, sometimes we talk so quickly we say things like “shoulda,” which is an even shorter way of saying “should’ve.” Many people mistakenly think this phrase is “should of.” “Should of” is incorrect and should never be spoken, typed or otherwise communicated. The same rule applies for “must’ve” (not must of), “could’ve” (not could of), and “would’ve” (not would of).

If someone you care about uses “should of,” wait until you have some one-on-one time with them, calmly sit them down, and then gently correct them.

In general, contractions like “should’ve” are still regarded as informal speech, so, if you’re writing your doctoral dissertation or cover letter to be hired as a lawyer, avoid these shortcut words. However, in everyday conversations, feel free to contract away.
