Council approves Harmony GetGo, 4-2

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Harmony residents opposing the GetGo gas station proposal on the northwest corner of 146th Street and Ditch development Road in the Harmony commercial area left disappointed with their city councilors Oct. 10 after the council approved the gas station, 4-2, with Cindy Spoljaric and Joe Edwards voting against.

The proposal was introduced to the council in May, Hoover and it has seen architectural changes since. The advisory plan commission forwarded the proposal to the council with a positive recommendation after its Sept. 6 meeting with conditions restricting hours of operation, outdoor Spoljaric audio and signage on the gas station’s canopy, as well as providing a screen buffer.

Each councilor present expressed thoughts and concerns before voting, with Steve Hoover speaking first.

“As you can see from the architecture, it certainly is a much better fit for the community in Harmony,” he said. “This has been a tough decision for me. I know there are concerns, and I do

not believe though that crime and traffic and some of the main issues that were raised will in fact be as nearly as bad as what the neighbors believe.”

Hoover expressed beliefs that a fast food station in that same area would provide more of an issue than a gas station.

Jim Ake, Chuck Lehman and Mark Keen shared similar thoughts. In addition to agreeing with Hoover, other comments included valuing the opinions of the plan commissioners and the use of 146th Street becoming a major roadway.

However, councilors Joe Edwards and Cindy Spoljaric voted against the proposal, as gas station developments originally were prohibited in the Harmony area.

“Years ago, when this PUD came through, it was specified back then it wasn’t supposed to

have a gas station here,” Spoljaric said. “Now, coming through and asking for that, I don’t know that there’s a valid reason other than you can make money off of it. I don’t think this is appropriate for the residential area, especially for our Carmel neighbors. They’re not our constituents, but I feel it’s my duty as a decision maker to look out for everybody.”

Joe Edwards spoke the briefest, sharing words of wisdom that a previous boss told him.

“In my working career, I had a boss who told me one time, ‘You plan your work, and you work your plan.’ When we fiddle with a plan, we always come up with things like this,” he said.

The next city council meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. Oct. 24 at Westfield City Hall, 130 Penn St. For more, visit westfield.in.gov.

Westfield selected as green community news@currentinwestfield.com Recently, the Indiana Association of Cities and Towns selected accomplishment Westfield as one of the cities to receive the 2016 IACT Green Community of the Year distinction. Only three cities in Indiana accomplished this, the other two being Fishers and Whiting.

All three received an award during the IACT Annual Awards Luncheon at 11:30 a.m. Oct. 5 in French Lick.

“The IACT Green Communities program is a fantastic way for cities and towns to showcase their hard work and commitment to

smart, efficient practices,” IACT Executive Director and CEO Matt Greller stated in a press release to Current. “The survey required is extremely comprehensive, lending credibility and prestige to the Green Community desigGreller nation. The fact that Fishers, Westfield and Whiting have all earned this designation in previous years is evidence of a true commitment to green practices that improve the quality of life for their residents.”

Representatives from participating cities had to complete a 51-question survey regarding purchasing, operations, measuring success and

sample projects. In addition to the three Indiana cities meeting the minimum score required to be a Green Community, they also earned the highest score in their population category to become a 2016 IACT Green Community of the Year.

Fishers’ population category was more than 50,000. Westfield was 10,000-50,000, and Whiting was less than 10,000.

IACT launched the Green Communities Initiative in 2008 to “identify potential cost savings to communities facing budget shortfalls, promote economically competitive quality of life concepts and ultimately serve as role models for citizens while better protecting our environment.”

Park presents on milkweed

Prevail goes purple for October

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

Last month, Cool Creek Park and Nature Center hosted the first of what nature it hopes to be many events encouraging the planting of natural, untreated milkweed to attract monarch butterflies.

“We are trying to connect people back with native plants, and if we want butterflies, we need to plant what they eat,” said Amanda Smith, superintendent of natural resources and education. “Caterpillars aren’t the prettiest form of a butterfly, but in order to have a butterfly, we need to have a caterpillar eating native plants. Monarchs are 90 percent declined in the last 20 years. We are really in danger of a regional extinction.”

Monarch declination is caused by various reasons, including deforestation and purchasing pesticide-treated plants that cause death in butterflies, bees or other insects that land on them. Monarchs migrate to Mexico in the winter, making them one of the more unique insects.

“We can help in our yards by planting milkweed and getting that plant back into the yard ecosystem,” Smith said. “It’s a really

Prevail of Hamilton County is hoping everyone sees purple this nonprofit month.

Prevail, a nonprofit based in Noblesville, is asking businesses and community partners to wear purple, the color for Domestic Violence Month (October).

Prevail’s Go Purple campaign started three years ago.

Prevail, which is in its 30th anniversary year, has served more than 40,000 victims of violent crime and abuse in Hamilton County and surrounding areas.

“We want to encourage others to wear purple to help encourage victims as well,” said Natasha Robinson, event and marketing coordinator. “That way they know it’s not shameful if they’ve been a victim of domestic violence. The community is standing against it. That will help encourage them to come forward and seek services. It will engage the community to stand up against acts of violence as well.”

Prevail is selling Go Purple materials such as “Stop the Violence” ribbons, bracelets, lapel pins and posters.

great pollination plant for bees and other things as well.”

The park donated 100 plants to those who attended to take home and plant and also gave away milkweed seeds.

Cool Creek plans to sell various native plants for people to purchase and know the plants are untreated and pollinator friendly.

“We will ideally have 10 different native plants that people can come and buy and know they came from a trusted grower that hasn’t treated them,” Smith said.

Prevail staffers are wearing purple Oct. 26, the national day to wear purple.

“Each year we’ve grown,” Robinson said.

“Our goal was to have 31 partners, at least one a day, and last year we had more than 31.

It would be great if we had multiple pictures a day of people going purple for the entire month. It doesn’t cost them anything.”

Teachers and students relive 1960s

Once each month, approximately 15 former teachers and Westfield High School graduates meet at Erika’s Place, 102 S. Union St., for breakfast. In the 1960s, it was also common for teens to spend time on the Westfield Library steps, which is now Cave Printing Company. After the breakfast last month, the group decided to relive those days and spend time on the business’ steps and have a photo taken 50 years later. Rear: Roy Beatty.

Meet your teacher: Brian Butz Subject/school: Speech-Language Pathologist, Oak Trace Elementary School.

Years teaching: 16.

Education: Homestead High School, Fort Wayne; B.S. Speech, Language and Hearing, Ball State University; M.A. Speech-Language Pathology, Ball State University.

Why he became a teacher: “My mom, who was a first-grade teacher, has always inspired me to work in a school setting. When I was in college, I couldn’t decide what I wanted for a major, but knew I wanted to do something in the schools. My aunt, who is also a teacher, recommended being a Speech-Language Pathologist. I took the introductory course for Speech and Language and knew right then that I wanted to work in this rewarding field of study.”

Goals for students: “I always discuss our goals to all of my students. Each of my students has their own personal goals related to speech and/or language. When we meet, we

talk about what our goal is, when we would like to complete these goals and how we are going to work on them.”

Butz Advice for parents: “Initially, I ask the parents to encourage their child’s curiosity and self-esteem. They can do that by continuing what they are already doing with them at home like reading to them or modeling good speech and language. When they reach the point in their objectives where they are confident in their skills, I ask the parents to continue to follow up and remind them about their good speech and language skills.”

Something students may not know about him: “I got a scholarship at IPFW, in Fort Wayne, for soccer and a scholarship from the Sertoma Club. So pretty much athletic and brainy!”

Nicole and Michael Kobrowski host ghost tours around the city, nearby counties

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Westfield resident Nicole Kobrowski has had paranormal experiences since she was a child growing up in Anderson, and that sensitivity has followed her into cover story her adult life.

She and her husband, Michael, host ghost tours all year long in Hamilton County, Indianapolis, Anderson and other areas, and with Halloween fast approaching, the couple’s tours are quickly filling.

“We got into this because we wanted to have a side business from our day jobs,” Nicole said. “We love history, and we love the paranormal, so we’re like every major city has a paranormal event of some sort, so why can’t we do that here? So, we started out in Westfield because it was low risk since it was in our backyard.”

The couple launched two Westfield tours, Westfield Union Street and Westfield Underground Railroad, in 2001. The first tour Samuel consisted of two people in the Pittman’s pouring rain, but it didn’t take grave.

long to increase in popularity. Now, the tours are capped at 35 outside of October and 40 during the Halloween season.

“I was interested (in the paranormal) before I met her, but she got me into it with her experiences and her stories, and starting to investigate really got me into it and having my own experiences too through investigations and tours,” Michael said.

Tours typically last two hours. Haunted Westfield destinations include city hall, the Anti-Slavery Friends Cemetery and Super Bowl Pho. Nicole admitted the Anti-Slavery Friends Cemetery is her favorite haunted Westfield area. Homeowners near the cemetery have claimed to see a white figure enter their basement and make the dogs bark. Nicole and Michael say their best guess is the ghost of Mary Pfaff, a woman who died in her late teens and is buried in the cemetery with her two infant sons.

Another ghost in the cemetery is assumed to be Samuel Pittman, a Civil War soldier who lied about his age to fight for the Union. What the Kobrowksis assume is Pittman’s ghost has been seen in Civil War attire smoking a cigarette.

Their most terrifying tour happened recently, during a bus tour in Indianapolis, on a bridge near the Indiana State Fairgrounds. Nicole said she could sense a bad feeling and felt sick, later learning that a few other of the tour attendees felt the same dizzying sensation.

“I was having some feelings of foreboding, and I never get that,” Nicole said. “I even mentioned it to a lady, and I usually don’t say something, but there was a bad vibe. I started telling stories, and I started feeling a malevolent feeling.

I’m not doing this for effect. I don’t want people to think I try to enhance it by theater, but somebody had got something attached to them, and it’s bad.”

Shortly later, an attendee

passed out from the same dizzying sensation Nicole said she was experiencing. The tour happened last month.

But despite giving tours, the Kobrowskis also immerse themselves in Westfield’s haunted history. They are part of the Anti-Slavery Friends Cemetery clean-up effort and generally clean the cemetery four times each year by cleaning stones, fixing broken stones and more.

“My mom took me out cemetery walking a lot, and there is a beauty to them, and they are living history, and one day, these stones will turn to dust again and won’t be there,” Nicole said.

“We are just trying to prolong the life. We walk the walk and talk the talk. We are out there cleaning the stones and trying to give their burial spots dignity instead of broken stones and overgrown brush.”

Nicole also has written multiple books on haunted topics, including “Haunted Backroads: Central Indiana,” “Ghosts of Westfield” and more.

The next Westfield tour is the underground railroad tour at 7 p.m. Oct. 21. Tickets are $13 to $18, and a detailed meeting location is sent once tickets are purchased. For more, visit unseenpress.com.

A sober memory of ‘The Fall’

Seeds for GOP sown long ago

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Well, we’re back. We couldn’t resist commenting on the upcoming election. We want to delve further into the Republican Party’s magnanimous comments while many members concurrently were pulling support from its nominee, Donald Trump. A lot has been said about the GOP’s “values” and “principles,” and we keep asking ourselves, Just what might those be? From our vantage point, the only values and principles the national GOP possesses relate to its unparalleled talents in losing national elections.

No organization is better at grasping defeat from the jaws of victory, as the old saying goes. Further, many pundits talk about how the nomination of Trump is all the fault of the GOP, which is true. However, we differ in that it isn’t anything the party has done during the last 15 months, but, rather, its failures dating to the late 1980s, when the GOP ceded control to the wimpy, liberal Bush wing of the party. As much respect as we have for Ronald Reagan, his biggest mistake was putting George H.W. Bush on the ticket.

Little did we know that while Reagan was resurrecting the Republican Party, he had inadvertently created the monster that would ultimately destroy it. Trump isn’t destroying the establishment GOP; the Bushes beat him to the punch. Explaining Trump’s relative success: Voters are attracted to him for no other reasons than he’s willing to fight and calling out the establishment and rigged systems, and we’ve not seen that from a Republican on the national stage since Reagan.

A place for anything

Commentary by Terry Anker

America, among its many other noted accolades, is the capital of stuff.

We have a ton of it. We have stuff in which to put our stuff. We have stuff to help us organize our stuff. I suppose that we have stuff to organize the stuff that we use to organize our stuff. It can all be a bit overstuffed.

But, pulling it together into some cohesive and orderly arrangement feels good. Once arranged, we are at the ready for whatever might come our way. The provisions for the machinations of life stand at hand awaiting our slightest need for deployment. Countered against the stacked disarray of the more shanty methods, an orderly approach to living seems entirely in order.

It seems simple. Yet, like many consequences of human undertaking, the expectation of simplicity is often followed by anything but. Our plans to keep house are overwhelmed by all manner of domestic ca-

tastrophe. Soon, our intended baskets, drawers, closets, shelves and tubs are filled to overflow with impact debris of a full life.

Should we surrender and expect a call from the A&E television show “Hoarders?”

Hopefully not. When the stuff is swelling and soon to overtake, pause and start, big to small. Wrangle the bits of scattered ephemera from work, school, marriage and family into holding pens. Then, arrange the variables that remain – preserving only those that have some significant practical or sentimental value. After, retrieve the small items, favorites first, until the space seems right.

Whatever is left in the coop goes to resale, charity or the landfill. “Everything in its place and a place for everything” only holds true if there is actually a place for anything.

Q U O T E O F T HE W EEK It is not the creation of wealth that is wrong, but the love of money for its own sake.

– Margaret Thatcher

As I wrapped up an emotional breakdown in a rather untoward McDonald’s bathroom stall off I-65 over humor the weekend, I reminded myself that even the strongest of women have to “let it out” from time to time. Doo thought it was hilarious, but given the night I’d had, I’m surprised I’d held it together for as long as I did.

The short of it is that my dad took a tumble and sustained a C-2 fracture, which, for those of you not up on your anatomical vocab, means quite literally that he broke his neck. Dad’s fine – he’s sporting a brace and a few stitches – but the hospital ordeal was extraordinarily stressful, in addition to occurring at a most inconvenient time, the middle of the night.

I’d have much rather been sleeping, but since I was in town, close by, and sober when it happened, I became an unwilling participant in what is now being called “The Fall.” I mention my sobriety only because several of my sisters were also “available” to handle the crisis, but only one didn’t have to Uber home from the bars when the SOS text went out.

So basically it was me, my mom, and one coherent sibling dealing with blood, dad’s protests, ER paperwork, and the inebriated baby of the family who not only insisted upon tagging along, but was also adamant about concocting an over-the-top story that would ensure dad’s immediate triage.

Emotionally weaker people might have lost their shtick at any point during the night, but I managed to stay calm and collected throughout, even when dad was categorized as a level-3 trauma and had to be ambulanced to a different hospital, one with a metal-detector entrance and homeless men sheltering in the waiting room.

Mom and sober sister kept their cool until dad was home, when a shared hug undid them both. Me? I got halfway back to Indy before the smell of fried potato goodness and the enormity of what “might have been” hit. At least I had a relatively clean toilet to cry on. Thanks McDonald’s!

Peace out.

READERS ’ V I E W S Remembering Westfield High School Editor, While it’s been 30-plus years since I graduated from Westfield High School, I have fond memories of Westfield Washington Schools and how it helped shape my family and career.

Westfield gave me the opportunity to excel in the classroom and athletic fields, and I made many friendships that have continued well into my adult years. In fact, I met my wife, Terry, at Westfield High School. High school sweethearts, we’ve been married 32 years and have three sons ages 26, 24 and 20.

My father was a teacher and coach at

Westfield Washington Schools, and while he had five children graduate from Westfield High School, he is most remembered by many alumni as “Bio Bob�. He was an amazing teacher in the classroom, and represents the quality that Westfield Washington Schools has long been known for.

I’m proud to say I’m from Westfield and a life-long Shamrock!

Chris Denari, television play-by-play announcer for the Indiana Pacers

Vote yes to approve the referendum Editor, By multiple academic and social measurements, Westfield Washington Schools demonstrates exemplary performance and, by all standards, is one of the very best school corporations in Indiana.

Westfield Washington Schools’ student test results consistently demonstrate achievement in the top 3 to 5 percent on the ISTEP+ exams, and the high school has been honored as a top-performing high school by U.S. News and World Report and leads the county in its graduation rate.

Clearly, the community support of the past referenda has produced high-quality results, enabling the school system to fund quality

programs, hire and retain the very best teachers with reasonable salaries, and best of all, graduate highly performing and prepared students!

I urge you to support the renewal of the current referendum, which actually reduces the current rate passed in 2010 by 3 cents, by voting yes to approve.

The approval of the referendum will allow Westfield Washington Schools to maintain this established, high-quality performance of excellence, which is also critical to attracting businesses and families to the community.

“New Life” (U.S. premiere) - Ben met Ava at age 7 standing in his driveway. As the two journey together through the seasons of life, a tragedy occurs that leaves their entire future in jeopardy. Note: Ninety-five percent of this film was shot in Indiana. Director/writer Drew Waters, Actress Erin Bethea and cast/crew will be attending.

Carmel native and producer Laura Goodenow, writer/director/composer Alexander Janko and actress Karen Allen will be attending.

“Reengineering Sam” (U.S. premiere) - Sam Schmidt lived out his boyhood dream as an IndyCar racer, winning races and earning the title of IndyCar “Rookie of the Year” along the way.

That dream came to an abrupt end when Sam crashed into a wall at 200 miles per hour, leaving him quadriplegic. Sam’s accident rendered him physically helpless until a dedicated group of some of the brightest minds today stepped up to build him a car that he could drive using only his head. Reengineering Sam chronicles Sam Schmidt’s inspirational road back to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and shows the promise of freedom and mobility for almost anyone confined to a wheelchair. Director Brian Malone and Sam Schmidt are scheduled to attend.

“Vince Giordano – There’s a Future in the Past” (Official selection) - Bandleader Vince Giordano keeps the Jazz Age alive with his 11-member band The Nighthawks, vintage, musical instruments, and a collection of more that 60,000 original arrangements from the 1920s and ’30s.Vince Giordano and director/writer/producer Amber Edwards will be attending. Note: The film’s promotional partner is The Great American Songbook Foundation.

Baez to perform at Palladium

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Joan Baez began to not enjoy the sound of her own concerts voice, a voice that has entertained millions for 50-plus years.

So, she said she went to a voice coach approximately five years ago.

“I was about to throw in the towel,” Baez said.

“I didn’t have the tools to deal with the changes. I Legendary folk singer Joan do now, so it’s a question Baez will perform at the Palladium Oct. 20. (Submitted photo of work.”

by Marina Chavez) She said she sees the vocal coach every couple of months before she goes on tour and does voice exercises.

“The fact is, it will never ever be easy again (to sing),” she said. “So that’s something that comes to my mind at 75. How much do I want to struggle to make it sound wonderful to have people enjoy it and have me enjoy it? I don’t know how long that will go on.”

Baez is on her final tour for a while, as she will take 2017 off. An Evening with Joan Baez will be held at 7:30 p.m.

Oct. 20 at the Palladium in Carmel.

“I’ll do some songs I haven’t done in a long while,” said Baez, who will perform some favorites as well.

The legendary folk singer has long been a human rights activist, walking with Martin Luther King Jr. during the Civil Rights Movement and protesting the Vietnam War. This concert tour is to the benefit The Innocence Project, which seeks to exonerate those wrongly convicted through DNA evidence and improve the system to prevent further injustice. Members of the Innocence Network will also accompany her during the 20-city tour.

“I try to find something relevant to put some energy into, and this one is a no-brainer,” Baez said. “It’s wrapped up in non-violence, and it’s dealing with racial injustice and racial disparity. They’re well organized, and they’ve had a lot of success.”

Baez’s year began with her 75th birthday concert at New York’s Beacon Theatre Jan. 27, which included Paul Simon, David Crosby and Jackson Browne.

“For me, it helped with the acceptance of being 75,” said Baez, who turned 75 Jan. 9.

Warm up with soup Commentary by Joe Drozda and Bob Bley Cold weather seems to bring on our emotional need for hot soup. In the 19th century, Lewis Carroll, besides writing “Alice in Wonderland,” “Jabberwocky” and other classics, was so driven by his love for soup that he wrote a poem about it. In his poem “Beautiful Soup,” he begins with, “Beautiful soup, so rich and green, Waiting in a hot tureen!”

Since one can look up hundreds of other written tributes to soup there must be a reason. Research shows that what you eat during cold game days can help you survive cold blasts. There are nutritious options — like soups that trick your body into thinking it’s July. Here are four easy cold-weather tailgate foods to leave you feeling your best— even when the weather is at its worst.

• Deviled eggs – Their yolks contain vitamin D to replace lessened sunlight.

• Almonds – As a munching snack, their fat helps with skin lubrication.

• Pretzels – A healthy, high-carb snack during the game that increases your brain’s production of serotonin, which makes you feel good.

• Hot soup – Increases your body’s water intake and makes you feel warmer.

In today’s trendy sports bars and pubs, the rage is tortilla soup. Here’s a great recipe for your tailgate: Tortilla soup Ingredients: 2 teaspoons olive oil; 1 medium onion; 4 cups (32 ounces) chicken broth; 1 cup roasted tomatoes with garlic, canned; 1/2 red pepper, diced; 1 can (14 ounces) green chilies, diced; 1/2 lime, juiced; 1 link Johnsonville Andouille Premium Cooking Sausage, diced (this is half of a 13.5 ounce package); 2 cups The Center for the Performing Arts – 355 City Center Dr., Carmel – thecenterpresents.org Oct. 19 – Lyle Lovett and Robert Earl Keen Oct. 20 – Joan Baez Oct. 22 – Indiana Wind Symphony Hoosier Park Racing & Casino – 4500 Dan Patch Circle, Anderson – hoosierpark.com Oct. 21 – Kyxx Mo’s Irish Pub – 13193 Levinson Ln., Noblesville – mosirishpub.com/indy Oct. 20 – Wayne Deaton Oct. 21 – The Bishops

Tortilla soup is a popular option in trendy restaurants. (Submitted photo)

tortilla chips or corn chips, broken; chopped cilantro and green onion for topping Preparations: The night before the game, use a large saucepan to heat oil over medium to high heat. Add onion, red pepper, sausage, and cook for 5 to 7 minutes. Add broth, tomatoes, salt, chilies and lime juice. Bring to a boil, and then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Allow the soup to cool outside on your deck or balcony so that you can refrigerate it overnight.

On game day, reheat the soup and pack it into a Coleman Powerchill hot/cold thermoelectric cooler for transport to the game. Another option is to place the soup pot onto a towel in a room-temperature, insulated cooler. Cover the pot with more towels to keep it warm during your drive to the game. As you ladle the soup into bowls or mugs, top each with tortilla chips, and serve with cilantro and green onion.

Facts about gender and health Commentary by Lena Franklin, MD It’s common knowledge that ovarian cancer and prostate cancer are two diseases specific to women and men, family medicine respectively.

Men can get breast cancer, but it’s far more likely to occur in women. Men and women are susceptible to certain diseases based on the biological and anatomical differences between them.

And while gender increases the risk of certain health conditions, diseases often present differently in women and men, too.

One example is heart disease — a condition that’s more prevalent in men. While men are more likely to die from a heart attack early in life, women are more prone to “silent” heart attacks, which occur without chest pain or other telltale symptoms. Perhaps because women tend to live longer, they are also more likely to suffer a stroke, the risk of which increases with age. Osteoporosis is another disease that is more common in women. After menopause, they are five times more likely to get the disease than men.

When it comes to drinking alcohol, men

are two times more likely to binge drink than women. Men are more likely to require hospitalization due to heavy or binge drinking and are more likely to die from it. In terms of cancer, lung and colon cancer strike men more often than women.

While these gender differences and related statistics can be interesting, it’s important to remember disease and health issues can impact anyone. That’s why most primary care physicians recommend that adults see their doctor at least once a year for a physical. It’s during these more comprehensive visits that your doctor can discuss risk factors, family history and any symptoms you may be experiencing. He or she can also determine what preventive tests and screenings you may need so any diseases or health issues can be treated as soon as possible.

City Square of Linz, Austria. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Linz: Forgetting Hitler Commentary by Don Knebel Linz, the third-largest city in Austria, has been home to men with lasting influence.

Current residents would like to travel forget one of them.

Linz was founded as a trading village by the Romans on both sides of the Danube River, 19 miles south of Austria’s current border with the Czech Republic. By the 15th century, it had become the most important city in the Holy Roman Empire, attracting people from all across Europe. Johannes Kepler lived in Linz from 1612 to 1626, teaching mathematics. While there, he discovered his third law of planetary motion. On Oct. 1, 1762, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, then 6, gave his first public performance at a Linz Inn. He stopped by Linz in late 1783, where he wrote his 36th Symphony in four days.

Nine-year-old Adolph Hitler moved with his parents to Linz, where he lived until he was 18. On March 13, 1938, Hitler announced to cheering crowds the annexation of Austria from the tiny balcony of Linz’s town hall, gain-

ing Linz the Nazi title of “City of the Founding of the Greater German Reich.” Hitler dreamed of making Linz, which he considered his “home town,” the cultural center of Europe and made grandiose plans for a museum in Linz to display art stolen from the Jews of Europe. The plans were never realized.

Today, Linz, with a population of about 200,000, is a recognized center of electronic media and one of 69 UNESCO “Creative Cities.”

An unusually large city square, dating to the 13th century, features a marble statue celebrating the Holy Trinity and hosts outdoor markets year round. Linz guides show visitors the inn where Mozart first performed and the university and buildings honoring Kepler. Confronting their city’s association with Hitler, guides also point to the streets and monuments remembering the victims of Nazi horrors.
