Liberty Ridge buildout to occur by early 2018

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Moving forward with a positive vote from the Westfield City Council at its Oct. 24 meeting, the Liberty Ridge Planned development Unit Development will begin site construction by early next year. Homes are expected to begin buildout late next year or early 2018, with approximately 2.5 homes constructed per month to equal a total of 36 to 40 months of buildout.

The subdivision rests on approximately 60 acres to the south of 151st Street and east of Towne Road. Since the introduction to the council in June, the proposal has undergone a variety of changes to appease the public, council and plan commission.

A frontage road along 151st Street was created, and a minimum of 12 of the 20 frontagefacing homes have side load garages rather than front load garages. Along the frontage road, only one out of every four houses can be ranch homes. Ranch homes are limited to 56 throughout the development.

“This has been through public hearing and public comment, and the developer has met multiple times with neighbors in the area out there as well as various (advisory plan commission) and council members to try to get this improved,” Councilor Steve Hoover said.

“We have been at this for several months, and I think this will be a good project, particularly considering what’s around to the south and the east with some commercial development. I think it’s a good transition to other residences in the western part of the township.”

The development also allows for 29 percent open space, whereas the zoning plan requires only 15 percent.

“This is to protect natural features and provide transition from the single residential lot to the subdivision,” Petitioner Jon Dobosiewicz said. “It allows for pedestrian connectivity not only through the construction of sidewalks but an internal path network.”

An amenity center was added to the development, which includes a pool, a pool house and a playground. CalAtlantic also changed the product type, which raised the price range. The subdivision homes were originally set at the low- to mid-$300,000 range, but due to the home revision, the average price is now expected to be more than $400,000.

“Personally, I’d like to thank CalAtlantic for stepping up,” Council President Chuck Lehman

said. “I have a lot of confidence in our community, and I know they’ve upped their game a bit.

I think it’s a good fit for the community, and it will be a good benefit for everybody.”

The council approved the plan, 5-0. The next city council meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. Nov. 14 at Westfield City Hall, 130 Penn St.

City adds part-time early intervention advocate

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Since the Westfield Youth Assistance Program’s inception in 2009, the idea has spread across the county and the state. youth The city funds one early intervention advocate, Christine Brown, to receive all referrals from schools and other sources regarding families in need. Recently, the WYAP Board of Directors raised enough funds to hire a second early intervention advocate to aid

Brown in her efforts. The position is part-time.

“One early intervention advocate is funded in the City of Westfield, and she cares for over 100 referrals a year, mainly from the school corporation,” Mayor Andy Cook said to the council. “That’s a lot of families to evaluate. Completely indeBrown pendent of our government, our board of directors of the Westfield Youth Assis-

tance Program has raised enough funds to fund a half-time early intervention advocate to help our full-time one out. So it sounds simple, but to go through all bureaucracy of sending that money to the county so it can be used here is what you have in front of you, and I would certainly appreciate approval of this document.”

At its Oct. 24 meeting, the city council voted on the new position and approved it unanimously.

Troop 107 to scout for food

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Residents in certain Westfield neighborhoods may be opening the door to young Cub Scouts with questions giving back the morning of Nov. 5.

Four local Cub Scout packs will partner with Troop 107 to collect nonperishable goods to donate to various food pantries before the holidays. Troop 107’s Scouting for Food initiative has been ongoing for more than 10 years.

“One of the missions of our troop is Westfield Scouts helping Westfield families,” Scouting for Food Coordinator Christine Irwin said. “Most of our projects and service opportunities focus on Westfield’s community.

The younger Scouts really enjoy knocking on the doors that morning because they’re well-received by the neighbors, and neighbors really like to see the kids helping out in the community and doing good work and hearing about their scouting for food drive.”

Troop 107 Boy Scouts will be at Christ United Methodist Church that morning sorting food to take to various food pantries, including Open Doors, Thanksgiving Meal Project and Amanda Strong Foundation’s Christmas Meal Project.

Boy Scouts sort food while Cub Scouts enjoy themselves. (Submitted photo)

Last year, 2,000 food items were collected.

Irwin estimates approximately 75 Cub and Boy Scouts participate in the day’s activities.

Cub Scouts will hit Merrimac, Springmill Villages, Bridlewood, Oak Manor, Crestview and Viking Meadows neighborhoods. Neighbors in those areas who will not be home during the scouting initiative hours of 9:30 a.m. to noon are encouraged to leave nonperishable items on their doorstep or bring the items to Christ United Methodist Church, 318 N. Union St., before 12:30 p.m.

Open Doors does have a needs list that incluces saltines, fruit cocktail, mandarin oranges, pears, spinach, dry pasta, spaghetti, instant potatoes, canned chili and chili beans.

Pulte Homes looks to add to golf course, create amenity center on west side

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Since its inception in 1988, Mark Thompson and his family have invested in Westfield’s only public golf course to keep it open and affordable. In the past 10 years, Wood Wind Golf Course has been the subject of question cover story for approximately five different developers, but Pulte Homes Indiana is the only one which projects saving the course.

“Pulte was the only developer that put together a plan that would actually save the golf course,” Thompson said. “It’s the only one that made sense. Every other developer we talked to wanted to take the course out and develop the whole ground. The master plan they (Pulte) have come up with is just incredible.”

Instead of wiping out the smooth greens and planting homes upon them, David Compton, vice president of land acquisition for Pulte Homes, has plans that enhance the golf course and puts it in the center of his development as a sort of neighborhood hub.

Pulte Homes has proposed a development on the west side of Westfield centered around the golf course. In addition to the homes, it plans to invest more than $5.5 million in the relocation of four holes and the creation of an amenity center.

“We are keeping the character of what’s here. The Bankers Barn and the clubhouse we are not touching,” Compton said.

“The housing makes this the beehive of activity up here, and the clubhouse stays as it is. The pavilion that exists today will be modernized and updated. We will make improvements to that pavilion so it can be more functional.”

Pavilion updates include an AV system and improvements to the exterior deck and the HVAC system as well.

In addition to the renovated pavilion, Pulte’s plan also includes three swimming pools, two tennis courts, three basketball courts, a restaurant, a recreation center and more. Purchasing the golf course, relocating four holes and making golf course improvements will be more than $5.5 million.

“One of the key components to this project is investment, and the long term financial plan is to make this happen,” Compton said. “The difference is today there’s a plan. The relocation of four holes and the investment in amenities is a key factor, like Chatham Hills and like Bridgewater. Every homeowner who purchases a home in the Wood Wind development will be a social member to the golf course through HOA fees, which will

course. “The most successful public golf courses as you would see in the state are places like Prairie View, Plum Creek and River Glen. (They) all are in areas that are traditional neighborhoods with community support. Any business needs rooftops.

This place needs rooftops. With rooftops and this plan, we can retain it as a public golf course.”

If the council votes against the change of zoning that would allow the Pulte Homes plan to begin work, Wood Wind will still stay open through 2017.

Compton said with the home developments, architecture in the amenity area will complement that of the Bankers Barn and the clubhouse with a rural feel.

Per the housing development, the plan calls for a rural black horse fence and curvilinear streets. Compton said the minimum for the buildout of the development is 10 to 12 years.

Thirty percent of the homes are targeted for empty nesters.

Another public advisory plan commission meeting regarding this proposal is scheduled for 7 p.m. Nov. 9 at city hall, 130 Penn St. For more, visit westfield.in.gov.

include the amenity area.”

On top of the amenity access, homeowners would receive preferred packages for becoming a course member.

“Golf has changed a lot from when this golf course was built. Today, it’s very much a struggle in business and it takes significant support from the community, and it takes rooftops, just like any business does,” said Matt Cohoat, whose firm Cohoat and O’Neal Management Company operates the golf

If the Wood Wind Golf Course vanished from Westfield, more than just public golf would ebb from the city. In addition to daily fees for play, Wood Wind has a youth program and a high school program. The Evans Scholars program provides an $80,000 scholarship to kids, three of which received it from Westfield High School last year. By the end of 2017, more than $1 million of scholarship money will have been awarded to Westfield students through the Evans Scholars program. Over the past eight years, $6.5 million of charitable donations have been acquired from golf outings

A scary good day

FR O M T HE BA C KSH O P

If we were on the team Everywhere we go we find ourselves engaged in discourse about the upcoming elections, national and local. It’s difficult to resist commenting and offering our two-cents worth (that’s about all it’s worth, frankly). We’ve been reading recently that Donald Trump apparently is getting some traction with his “the election is rigged” line. Perhaps it’s appealing to some that feel everything in this nation is rigged, with Wall Street, lobbyists, inside-the-beltway “experts”, and other circles conspiring to enrich themselves at the expense of the rest of us. There’s no question there’s a heightened level of frustration out there. And, we are embarrassed, as members of the media, to witness the unprecedented scorn heaped upon the Republican nominee by the “neutral” media. Granted, Trump provides plenty of fodder to feed the media’s anti-Trump diatribe, but, still, it should remain as objective as possible in its mainstream coverage. Otherwise, put opinion where it belongs: on the opinion page. Since this arguably has become the “year of the outsider,” we would encourage Trump to continue talk of a rigged system.

But he should go beyond that. He should explain the establishment isn’t against him, but, rather, you, the voter. And keep repeating it. Every member of the establishment - and this includes Republicans - is against anything other than the status quo, and they want Hillary Clinton in the White House, guaranteeing nothing changes. They want their cushy jobs protected. In an attempt to be fair, we offer this advice to Hillary Clinton: Keep cutting Wikileaks’ access to the Internet. The less voters know about the inner workings of your campaign, the better.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

The body politic Commentary by Terry Anker Oxford defines us thusly: The people of a nation, state, or society considered collectively as an organized group of citizens – the body politic. We are one, whether at this moment we feel like it. Social media, television and even your friendly local newspaper seem especially full of political opinion.

And, like a body enduring the challenge of a lengthy race, our extremities long for an end to the test of endurance. Limbs, heart and lungs all cry out for speedy conclusion. But our brain, mighty and exalted, commands that we push ourselves to a strong finish.

Our body politic strains but will soon recover and find itself ready to compete again.

We’ll sleep, recuperate and rebuild.

Yes, Election Day is finally approaching.

To all who are eligible to cast a ballot and who have yet to exercise the right, go vote: Do it now or do it on our nation’s proper Election Day. But do it. The year 2016, a year unlike many before it, has divided us into

distinct candidate camps with disparate, some might argue desperate, points of view. OK. Yet it is our obligation to this body politic to participate.

Whatever our choices may be, there is respect in the act and commitment we make.

Libertarian, Democrat, Republican or Independent. This time Susan Brooks deserves another go. Todd Rokita, too. Carmel-raised Todd Young seems right for the Senate. The best economic plan is Eric Holcomb’s. Then, choose Mike Pence and his running mate to ensure a Hoosier at the top on Inauguration Day. In claiming a preference, no offense is intended or warranted. Let’s hope our body politic makes it across the finish line free from injury and still better because of the race.

Q U O T E O F T HE W EEK Be assured, you never have to apologize for your passion.

– Taylor Hanson

Today was a good day. True, I stepped in dog poop three times and briefly electrocuted myself. But overall, I humor place this particular Tuesday firmly in the “More Than Just Survived” category. Why? Well, I was doing what I love best — futzing around with my Halloween yard décor.

See, we Wilsons (really just me) take Oct. 31 very seriously. Our (my) goal is to be the best “Halloween house” in a three-mile radius, eventually five. Granted, we don’t have much competition right now, but I’m hoping by continually adding one life-size witch/ vampire/Grim Reaper and two strands of orange lights each year, we’ll inspire others to pick up the torch (and a few pitchforks, and maybe a possessed scarecrow). Because honestly, when else can you trash your yard with strobe lights, fake webbing and Regan from “The Excorcist” and not be fined by the neighborhood association?

By the time you’re reading this, of course, the best holiday of the season will be over and done with, and I’ll be staring at a pile of plastic bones, black capes and dead batteries. Sadder still, I’ll be back at work and will have neither the time nor the inclination to clean up said junk heap.

That’s another reason why today was so wonderful – my kids were at school while I was out frolicking in my faux graveyard, setting up Regan’s tea party. As luck would have it, my fall break does not align with theirs, and I’ve been forced to stay home all week without them (outward sigh, inward jubilation).

Don’t get me wrong, I’ll love my children.

And lately, I’ve even started liking a couple of them. But they are exhausting, and unless I want to end up looking like the zombie I miraculously rigged up in the front maple, I need to plan moments where I can forget about the carpooling and cooking and be a kid myself.

So yes, I trod on squishy dog turds throughout most of the afternoon, and suffered mild electric shock while masterfully configuring 17 extension cords, but I definitely had a good day. Peace out.

Mayor supports referendum, requests others to vote ‘Yes’ To Westfield voters, As Westfield’s Mayor, I meet with new residents on a daily basis. Every time I meet with them I ask, “Why Westfield?” The response I usually get is, “I chose Westfield because of the great schools.” I also know this to be true because my children choose to live here based on the awardwinning school district for their kids’ education.

Westfield is one of the best schools not only in the state, but in Hamilton County. In order for our school district to be able to offer exceptional programs, hire quality teachers, and to be able to offer an award-winning education, you need to vote ‘Yes’ this November.

The Westfield Washington School District is one of the lowest recipients of school funding from the state. In order for the schools to continue to meet the demands of a growing population while maintaining the quality education our residents have come to expect, the district is asking voters to reinstate the referendum that passed in 2010.

I encourage you to support our schools and vote ‘Yes’ this November.

J. Andrew Cook, Mayor City of Westfield

Councilor urges residents to vote Editor, With national politics turning off so many voters, please do not let that sway you from voting. Keep in mind, results of local elections impact your daily life, potentially far more than national elections. Your vote is critical. Many local elections are determined by nothing more than a few dozen votes.

I am asking every single registered voter to join the City of Westfield, the Westfield Chamber of Commerce, and countless others in support of the Westfield Yes school referendum. This is not a new referendum; this replaces (at an even lower rate) the current referendum.

This referendum supports the people (teachers) and programs that continue to keep Westfield on top.

The state funding formula has created a need for referendums across the state, with Westfield being one of the lowest-funded districts in the state.

I have a child in seventh grade.

His algebra teacher offers free afterschool assistance. She successfully teaches 35 seventh graders high

school algebra at one time. His language arts teacher happily greeted students for hours at Barnes & Noble on a Friday evening in support of an inspiring, visiting author. His science teacher hosts the robotics club until 6 p.m. every Wednesday night, where ingenious kids develop complex machines for competition.

His social studies teacher found a way to integrate music, dance, poetry, even competition, into the study of Mesopotamia, and he’s a sports coach, too. All this and more, in one week of school.

Without this referendum continuation, class size will need to increase, and many programs will be cut.

Teachers would have burdens placed on them that could undermine the learning environment, making many things difficult or impossible.

As both a WWS parent and a city leader, please join me in your active support for Westfield Yes. Don’t let the circus of national politics keep you from the polls.

Feeding frenzy Commentary by Dick Wolfsie The Wolfsies have accepted two invitations to dinner on Thanksgiving. The Haversticks always invite my wife and son and humor me to join them at a lovely buffet at a downtown hotel. Since Mary Ellen and I have siblings who live out of town, we appreciate this gesture. I come from a pretty good size family in New York, but we’re not talking to each other because of a contentious Thanksgiving about 25 years ago.

For you ornithology buffs, please note: I have seen a turkey fly.

Our friends the Goslings have invited us to their house later in the afternoon. The Wolfsies offered to bring something to share at the Gosling dinner pitch-in. But what we contribute (and how much) might depend on the noon smorgasbord downtown — and whether the restaurant has those big Styrofoam to-go boxes.

If Mary Ellen decides to cook, how much are we supposed to bring? Calculating that would stump even Albert Einstein, who came from a nice Jewish family where food obviously played a very important role. Some biographers think the equation E=mc2 really meant the amount of food you can Eat (that would

be E) is equal to the size of the average Mouth (that’s M) times the number of cousins (C) who were invited. Then Einstein’s mother just squared everything to ensure there would be leftovers.

Mary Ellen will watch her prepared food like a hawk, concerned it may go unappreciated, thus requiring her to slither out the door with a still-full casserole. But there is an even worse scenario: suppose her dish is completely consumed. Not a scrap left. That would mean she didn’t bring enough. This miscalculation would stain the reputation of the entire Wolfsie clan.

So here’s how we figure it. Dan and Noelle Gosling are having 20 people for dinner, so we need to make enough mashed potatoes for 40 people, because if the spuds are delish, everyone will have seconds. But other people are also bringing dishes. So if all 20 people bring enough food for 40 servings, there will be enough fare on the table that night to feed about 800 people. That should be plenty.

Dunkin’ Donuts set in prime spot Scared of selling your home?

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

Suzanne Weis figures her new Dunkin’ Donuts is in a perfect spot in Westfield “I like the excitement now open around Grand Park,” Weis said. “It makes for very busy weekends in the store. We’ve even had special orders. We’ve even made donuts to match the team colors. They’ll bring them to the field.”

The store, which opened Sept. 21 and had its grand opening last month, is at 950 Tournament Trail in Westfield, just outside Grand Park.

King Point Ventures, which includes Suzanne and John Weis, is the Dunkin’ Donuts’ franchise partner in the Indianapolis and Fort Wayne areas.

“My husband, John, and his college buddies got involved in this,” said Weis, who lives in Carmel. “We have stores in New York, Connecticut and a bunch in Pennsylvania. When we got the bid to take over in Indiana, we took over from two different franchises. We moved out here two years ago. We took over six stores from one franchisee and eight from another. We then took over five stores in Fort Wayne.”

The Westfield store is the 20th store in

Indiana and the 15th in the Indianapolis area.

The 16th Indianapolis-area store will open in Whitestown Nov. 9.

Westfield’s location has approximately 20 employees.

“I need more people,” Weis said. “We have a lot of nice young kids coming in after school.

But what we really need is adults that can work during the day. That seems to be the hardest thing to get. We need people that work overnight to do the donut preparation, so we have some overnight hours available as well. We’re very flexible.”

Get ready for autumn naturally Commentary by Betsy Rabold It’s hard to believe that autumn is here!

Want to keep yourself healthy in a natural way? Here are just a essential oils few ideas: Get your skin in order: Many people like to do a detox or cleanse during this time. An inexpensive and easy way to get rid of toxins is to dry-brush the skin every day. They are easy to find and are not expensive. Dry brushes are meant to be used dry on dry skin. Brushing in a circular motion moving towards the heart is the generally accepted way to perform this task, but just doing it is what matters. If the skin is really thin, try using a dry washcloth at first. The idea is to do it firmly enough to increase circulation but not to injure the skin.

Also, breathing in and out helps to get rid of toxins. The skin and lungs are two of the largest organs of elimination.

An ounce of prevention: Many essential oils can be helpful during this time. Diffusing oils such as eucalyptus, peppermint, some of the fir oils, as well as lavender together in a diffuser or in a saucepan of water may help with breathing. Also, it is helpful to have any type of “prevention oil” on hand to diffuse such as Thieves, On Guard, Medieval blend, etc.

Fight illness: Tonics have been used during this time and throughout the winter for decades. Many hot, spicy, aromatic vegetables, herbs and spices go into this cider or tonic. Many of the spices, like onions and garlic, have been used historically to help fight illness since ancient times.

Tax credits for health care – The U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services has released data showing that 45,000 Indiana residents who currently purchase off-Marketplace individual market coverage may qualify for tax credits if they shop for 2017 coverage through the Marketplace.

Marketplace consumers who qualify for financial assistance usually have the option to buy coverage with a premium of less than $75 per month.

Managing prostate cancer Commentary by Clinton D. Bahler, MD, MS, IU Health Physicians Exciting advances in the management of prostate cancer are making it possible for doctors to provide more treatment personalized treatment to men diagnosed with the disease. While prostate cancer screening, which includes the prostate specific antigen (PSA) blood test and digital rectal exam, detects many cancers, screening is not always able to tell the difference between slow-growing tumors, which are common, and more aggressive forms of the disease that can lead to symptoms and death. This has led to overtreatment of prostate cancer in some cases.

Now, through a combination of MRI-guided biopsy and genetic testing, urologists are able to more accurately determine the type of tumor and whether a “watchful waiting” approach is advisable given the presence of slow-growing tumors. Genetic testing also can predict whether the cancer is likely to spread beyond the prostate. Both of these advancements help prevent overtreatment of those prostate cancers that are unlikely to cause death.

For men with more aggressive tumors

that are localized within the prostate, a new minimally invasive method for treating prostate cancer has been recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Pioneered at Indiana University School of Medicine for the localized treatment of prostate cancer, the technique uses high-intensity, focused ultrasound to destroy cancerous tissue with fewer side effects, including lower risk of incontinence and sexual dysfunction, than traditional prostate surgery.

Men between the ages of 50 and 70 should discuss the risks and benefits of PSA screening with their doctor. Those at greater risk of developing prostate cancer, which include African-Americans and men with a family history of the disease, should talk with their primary care doctor about when PSA screening should begin and how often the test should be completed.

Clinton D. Bahler, MD, MS, specializes in minimally invasive approaches to prostate and kidney cancer.

A tale of cheeseburger soup Commentary by Joe Drozda and Bob Bley

In Here, Life is Beautiful.

November 4 -20

For those of you that have read “The Tailgater’s Handbook” (first edition) you might remember this story. While traversing the Big Giver’s Parking Lot at Penn State way back in 1995, a lady hailed us to offer a bowl of her soup. It was life-changing! She called the soup Lost Cheeseburger Soup, and it tasted exactly like a country club cheeseburger. It was beefy, cheesy, chewy and just plain delicious. It was so good and has garnered so many favorable emails and letters from readers of this column and visitors to our website (tailgatershandbook.com) that we feel obligated to rerun this recipe every few years. You may ask, “Why was this soup referred to as lost?”

As was our practice, we asked the lady to send us the recipe and she promised she would, but it never came. When the book went to press we still didn’t have her recipe, even though a whole chapter was planned for the Lost Cheeseburger Soup. Alas, a sumptuous hearty meal we would never taste again!

Several years later a nephew of this woman (Joyce Massetti) emailed us. He was at that infamous tailgate party and read about the lost soup (minus recipe) in the book. He thought to himself, “That was us.” He contacted aunt Joyce and was able to furnish us with her name and the recipe. Hence, we have added this great recipe to our site and write about it often. You need to try this exceptional cold weather soup.

2 cans Campbell’s Cheddar Cheese Soup, 1 can water, salt and pepper.

Preparation: Brown ground beef, drain, then add carrots and onion (chopped). Cook entire mixture until soft and season the mixture to taste with salt and pepper. Add soup and water and heat well.

This soup is great for a substitute for that old favorite, chili. Serve with dill pickle chips and rolls for dipping. Add shredded cheddar cheese to thicken to soup to your liking.

This recipe makes four to six servings and we usually double the recipe.

Fire features attract guests

Commentary by Randy Sorrell

Live Happy.

Outdoor fire features are magnets for entertainment. They bring people together and provide an excuse outdoor living for fun. They develop stories, offer warmth and fuel impromptu episodes of fun.

Most would not imagine that fireplaces/fire boulders/boulder fire pits/fire features had that much responsibility.

INVITATION Clients often wonder if homeowners actually use their fire features. Most do. Profusely.

But it’s certainly habit- and convenience-driven. Fire it up a few times in a planned fashion and watch it flourish into random. That’s when the magic happens, when the laughter begins and friends and neighbors happen to stop by with a bottle of wine. And if they don’t … invite them.

These couple of stone fire features are natural gas-driven, which can be employed

as simple starters with a few branches and twigs tossed on for smoky joy or used as the primary flame itself. Natural stone caps add authenticity to the man-made stone face. Delicious sitting walls offer condensed seating and a place to park for a while.

Invitations for fun!

One of those days?

National Palace Museum in Taipei, Taiwan. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Taipei: A caldron and a cabbage Commentary by Don Knebel An estimated 10 percent of the important cultural artifacts from 7,000 years of Chinese civilization are owned by a single travel museum. The museum is not in China, and its most visited item is not very old.

Chinese nationalists overthrew the imperial Qing dynasty in 1911. In 1925, the nationalist government confiscated thousands of works of art and cultural artifacts that had been displayed in the palaces of the Qing and earlier dynasties. These items, from bronze and porcelain vessels from the earliest days of Chinese civilization to paintings and imperial government records, were eventually displayed at the Palace Museum in Beijing’s Forbidden City. In 1948, with the Communists threatening, the nationalists moved thousands of crates of objects from the Palace Museum and other important museums to Taiwan, then a Chinese province. When Chiang Kai-Shek and the nationalists retreated and proclaimed the Republic of China on Taiwan, they put the most important items on display in a newly established National Palace Mu-

seum in Taipei.

Taipei’s National Palace Museum now owns about 700,000 items, one percent of which are on display at a time. Among the most important items is “Mao-Gong Ding,” a 3,000-yearold bronze ceremonial caldron, famous for an encouraging message from the emperor to his governor inscribed in 500 ancient Chinese characters on the inside surface. Many visitors walk past the three-legged caldron and other items reflecting the extraordinary creativity and longevity of Chinese civilization, heading instead to the third floor. There they wait in line to file past a seven-inch-long cabbage head, carved in translucent jade, complete with a locust and a katydid. The intricatelycarved green and white “Jadeite Cabbage” by an unknown sculptor was apparently given by a Qing emperor to his mistress in the late 19th century. It has become the most popular item in the museum’s vast collection.
