Firefighters placed on administrative leave following inappropriate Facebook posts news@currentinwestfield.com Two Westfield Fire Dept. firefighters were placed on administrative leave Nov. 15 for posts on their Facebook pages.

STAFF The city, which is reviewing the matter, is not releasing the firefighters’ names or disclosing what the posts were.

“This is a personnel matter, as such, we will not say anything other than, as soon as we learned of the situation, the individuals involved were immediately placed on administrative leave to allow for a thorough review,” City of Westfield Communications Director Vicki Duncan Gardner stated in an email. “The City of Westfield serves all of its citizens and does not tolerate any kind of overt or implied

discrimination whatsoever. Any social media posts or actions, regardless of their origins, that run counter to that inherent belief, do not represent the Westfield Fire Dept. or employees of the City of Westfield.”

Gardner said she is unsure when the review process will be complete because specific procedural actions must be followed.

New Quaker display at WWHS

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com The Westfield Washington Historical Society recently added two more Quaker bonnets, a Quaker cape, a HISTORY school bell and other items to its display. The artifacts are on loan to the WWHS from Westfield Friends Church.

WWHS President Jim Peyton said he’s unsure how long the WWHS will have the display.

The WWHS already had two Quaker bonnets, but Peyton said the new bonnets are historically more interesting. One is black and paired with a black cape. The items are said to belong to Tamer Davis Foudrea, who was born in 1822. The other bonnet is brown and belonged to Elizabeth Emily Bray Beals and dates back to 1829.

Peyton said the most interesting item, in his opinion, is Beals’ brown bonnet. He found a story relating to it in the book “Our Westfield,” a chronical of the town’s history. The story, by Waldo Beals, Elizabeth Emily Bray Beals’ grandson, recalled when Waldo’s grandfather Lemuel Beals

was courting Elizabeth, the pair lived only a mile apart. But Lemeul would have to spend the night with Elizabeth when he visited because she lived in the woods, which were thick and full of swamps, making it too dangerous for Lemeul to venture home in the dark.

“It’s a great piece of history from the community in the early days. I’m just amazed those things were saved,” Peyton said.

The WWHS is open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Saturdays. It is housed in Westfield City Hall, 130 Penn St. For more, visit wwhs.us.

Work is ongoing on the Logan Street Project in downtown Noblesville. The northbound lane of Ind. 19 between Ind. 32 and Logan Street will be closed the duration of the project, through August 2019. The detour consists of taking Ind. 32 westward, turning northbound onto Ind. 38, then eastbound on Logan Street and northbound on Ind. 19 to avoid the closure. On Logan Street, the designated westbound right turn lane on the bridge will become a combined straight and right-turn lane. The eastbound straight lane will be shifted north, and the south side of the bridge will be under construction. The Riverwalk near this area also is closed.

FISHERS Construction work has begun on Ind. 37 to transform a number of intersections into dogbone-style roundabouts over the highway. Construction vehicles will use the construction entrance on Lantern Road between 126th and 131st streets, which may cause short delays. There currently are no scheduled lane restrictions.

131st Street at Allisonville Road is closed to all traffic for utility and reconstruction work. The closure began Nov. 2 and should last 30 days.

The new roundabout at Florida Road and 113th Street is now open. Florida Road also is now open between Luxhaven Road and Martha Street.

Drivers should expect temporary lane restrictions as paving and striping is completed near the roundabout at 136th Street and Southeastern Parkway.

106th Street is now open from Hague Road to the Crosspoint Boulevard and Lantern Road roundabout. Drivers are encouraged to still drive with caution. Closures are still in place on 106th Street from Eller Road to Allisonville Road and from Allisonville Road to Hague Road.

Indiana University senior football manager Matt Stauder was dealt a double blow.

In September 2017, ACHIEVEMENT his father, Marty Stauder, died of a heart attack at age 57. Earlier this year, Stauder was diagnosed with Hodgkins lymphoma. The 2015 Guerin Catholic High School graduate from Westfield began cancer treatment in May and finished his 12 chemotherapy sessions in October. He learned in early November that his cancer was in remission. He will have a blood test in three months.

Stauder was recently named a weekly nominee for the 2018 Capital One Orange Bowl-Football Writers Association of America Courage Award.

Stauder would commute to Indianapolis to have his treatments once every two weeks. Through it all, he kept up his manager duties.

Fifth-year senior running back Ricky Brookins spearheaded a GoFundMe page under Stauder’s name, which has raised nearly $32,000 as of Nov. 29. The goal is $35,000. In his manager role, Stauder works closely with running backs coach Mike Hart and his unit.

“Before this, Ricky and I weren’t as close as friends, but definitely though the process we’ve become incredibly close friends,” Stauder said. “He lives in the same apartment complex as me, so we’re hanging out all the time. It shows who he is as a person to go out of his way to set up a GoFundMe page to support my medical costs. I can’t thank that man enough for what he has done for me.”

Stauder, in his third year as manager, will

graduate in May with a sports management and marketing degree.

“The support I’ve received from friends, family, Bloomington community and IU football family, just everybody, has helped me a lot,” Stauder said. “Staying busy helps me keep my mind off the illness I’ve been battling. I’ve experienced many hardships, but every day I wake up and think about my dad and know he would be proud knowing that I’m doing something I love.”

Stauder received the IU game ball from Hoosiers’ coach Tom Allen after the seasonopening victory Sept. 1 at Florida International. The game was played on the oneyear anniversary of his father’s death.

Requirements for nomination include displaying courage on or off the field, including overcoming an injury or physical disability, preventing a disaster or living through hardship. The winner of the award will be included in festivities during Orange Bowl week and receive a trophy during an onfield presentation, during the Dec. 29 game.

KINSEY

OPPOSITION TO THE TRAIL

Prior to moving to Westfield, Cook lived in Carmel and remembered Mayor Jim Brainard

ST

Advocating for trails is the original reason Mayor Andy Cook became involved in politics.

COVER STORY When Cook moved to Westfield in 2005, he joined a group called Friends of the Midland Trace, an advocacy group operated

by Melody Jones, who was the Washington Township parks director at the time.

When Cook attended trail meetings, he learned INDOT had granted $1 million to the town to extend the Monon Trail from Carmel and build its first mile in Westfield.

However, township and Westfield officials disagreed on constructing the trail, and the money sat untouched for several years.

“We, as an independent group, began to push the town and said, ‘Hey, guys, you need to do this,’” Cook said.

Cook’s involvement with the trail group led him to join the town council in 2007.

When Westfield became a city, Jones was elected to Westfield’s first city council in 2008, and Cook asked her to be the city’s parks director.

“His motivation was we need to get the Monon built, and I was like, ‘Right on,’” she said. “It took me all of about 10 seconds to say yes.”

Construction of the first mile of the Monon began, and the trail opened from 146th Street to 156th Street in 2008.

receiving opposition for his plan to extend the Monon from Indianapolis through W 186TH ST Carmel.

The Monon was still operating as a railroad in the 1980s, but it was abandoned in the 1990s. Cook said much of the controversy in Carmel stemmed from building the trail on privately owned land where the railroad tracks were.

When railroads originally came to Indiana, counties or towns donated land as incentives for railways to be built. When railway companies eventually abandoned the railroads, the land was divided evenly among property owners on each side. However, the land often belonged to an estate, and many

The City of Westfield recently completed the last leg of the Monon Trail, which stretches from 191st Street near Grand Park to 216th Street in Sheridan. However, the Monon isn’t complete in Westfield.

Ground was broken Nov. 13 for a $5.4 million pedestrian bridge at the Ind. 32 crossing. The bridge will be similar to the Monon crossing at 146th Street, but it will be six times as long. Cook wants to enhance trailheads and advocate for other communities to extend the trail.

“I would like to see a hiking and biking campground near Grand Park for people to stop, maybe ride up out of Indianapolis for the day, camp and enjoy Westfield and Carmel and go back to Indy, or vice versa,” he said. “I’d love to see it go all the way The to Woods Lafayette for right now. I think that wouldat the W 17 Maples 1S be a great connection.”

people debated about who actually owned the land.

Residents also thought a trail from Indianapolis to W 211TH ST Carmel would bring crime into Hamilton County.

“There were great big sheets of plywood in people’s backyards that said, ‘Stop the Trail,’” Cook said.

Cook said Westfield also had protestors against the Monon Trail, but the remonstrance wasn’t as strong as it had been in Carmel. But he does recall residents in the Village Farms neighborhood arguing against placing a trailhead near the neighborhood on Greyhound Pass.

Now, he said, Village Farms residents appreciate the trailhead.

ESSAY Film study

LETTER Campbell cartoon disrespectful

Commentary by Terry Anker After the second bottle of wine, the dinner conversation turned to the state of cultural affairs. The friends gathered shared reading lists and recent museum visits.

One mentioned the retinue of movies in theaters. Almost instinctively, there was a quick dismissal of the latest Marvel characters as undeserving of thoughtful discussion among full-grown adults. Is film a worthy element in a serious review of our culture?

If American cinema is deemed significant (at least occasionally), then shouldn’t all well-educated and engaged citizens have a canon of required viewing? What might make the cut? Not surprisingly, internet list makers cling to vastly different perspectives on art and value. Likewise, each of us boasts favorites – tied to our own times and places, laughs and tears.

Some would be popular, marquee blockbusters. The docket would include thrillers, dramas, comedies and even the odd horror film. Many must be small and independent.

A few could be quirky enough to stand alone in their own categories.

The list would be revisited in conversations with new players, reinforcing the previous choices and adding some that had been wrongly overlooked.

For a decade or so, our family has woven this list between recent releases and small-festival winners.

Recently, we screened the 1959 version of “Ben Hur” and then its 2016 remake. After considerable family discourse, requiring a second piece of pecan pie, 1959 won big.

If we thought a bit, in advance, about what films are worthy, and shared them with those we love, wouldn’t we come to know each other better?

Democrats have an increased presence

Keeping it (awesomely) real Commentary by Danielle Wilson Here we go again, people. I received a voicemail from a disgruntled reader who couldn’t get through via email.

HUMOR While I applaud her perseverance, I feel the need to address her comments publicly in case anyone else out there shares similar views, and also because they’re a hoot! Happy holidays!

“Danielle Wilson is the most unorganized, pitiful mother in the world.” Granted, I have dropped the parenting ball (and the f-bomb) a few times of late. I work. I have teenagers.

Debit cards will occasionally disappear. It happens. As for pitiful, I’d argue that “normal” would be a better word choice. I don’t always love being a mom. I sometimes don’t like my offspring. Those who say differently are either living in denial or in Stepford.

“Her kids are out of control.” They’re really not. It’s true that none of them will be receiving academic or athletic scholarships and they are sporadically lazy and selfish. They

also spend more time on their phones than is admittedly healthy. But they have kind hearts and are funny and probably won’t end up incarcerated. I’m sorry if everyone doesn’t have a good relationship with their children, but attacking mine certainly won’t help.

“She should be ashamed and embarrassed.” For what? For writing about the ups-and-downs of life? For being honest and transparent and not peddling the “I’m perfect” lie? I pride myself on keeping it real, on sharing both the good and the bad of motherhood. Which is why I somewhat agree with the last accusation.

“Her ego is off the charts.” I do think I’m awesome. Especially when strangers insult me.

Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: It goes on”

-Robert Frost

Editor, At this month’s meeting of the Hamilton County Democrats, we talked about the percentage of votes for Democratic candidates in this recent election. While we did not win all the races we competed in, the presence of Democratic candidates on the ballot has significantly grown in recent elections. It is clear that Democrats are now viable as candidates in Hamilton County and throughout Indiana. We want to know that Hamilton County votes on who will best represent us in local, state and national offices and that those elected officials just might be Democrats.

Gifts of Christmas presents Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Having just moved, I have spent a lot of sleepless nights worrying about whether I’d receive my Christmas edition HUMOR of the Hammacher Schlemmer gift catalog. Fortunately, someone changed my name to “resident” and it came right on time. Here are a few of my favorite gifts from this year’s HS holiday publication.

The best nose hair trimmer — HS says its panel of experts lauded its “smooth trimming.” How do you gather a panel like that?

The description also says that the trimmer is easier to clean with a removable head. If you have a removable head, I bet it also is easier to clean your ears.

The indoor flameless marshmallow roaster — Why camp out? Why sleep in a tent? Why get eaten by mosquitoes when you can roast your marshmallows in your living room over an electric heater? It’s totally safe for kids and it teaches them that it’s a lot easier to camp inside — near a fridge and a toilet.

Automatic flameless candle — Our friends the Murphys gave us a version of this as a housewarming gift. Of course, it

doesn’t warm the house. It doesn’t even warm your finger because it’s not a real flame — just LED lights. It comes with a tiny remote for you to program how long and how fast the flame flickers. You can even incorporate a blowout feature, so you can quickly get back to your indoor marshmallow roasting.

Best heated car seat — Many things in the HS catalog are heated one way or another: socks, gloves, hats, bathrobes. Why not heat your car seat with a special pad?

Actually, my new car came equipped with heated seats and I didn’t realize it. I knew I felt something weird.

Seated whole-body pedaler — This is an exercise machine that you put in front of your favorite easy chair and then pedal while you watch TV. HS claims it gives you a full cardio workout and tones triceps, quadriceps and biceps, ’cep there’s one problem: It doesn’t work when you fall asleep. Which you will.

“These prestigious Healthgrades awards are a testament of the great team we have at our hospitals,” said Seth Warren, president and CEO of Riverview Health. “Although we have the feel of a smaller health system where people may know you by name, the care our patients receive is among the best in the nation.”

DISPATCH Combating sleep loss — A recent study by the personal finance website Bankrate. com found that, overall, 41 percent of 1,000 respondents said relationships are what sometimes keeps them up at night. The second most common cause of sleep loss is money, cited by 36 percent of respondents.

Prioritize sleep and treat it as if it were just as important to your health and well-being as diet and exercise, because it is. Second,

consider writing in a journal before you hit the sack. A ritual of dumping stress out of your head and onto paper can have a calming effect while helping you work out potential solutions as you write. Next, consider practicing yoga or meditation before bed, both of which can help to tamp down your brain’s internal chatter and clear your mind when it’s time to sleep.

Mathias returns in title role in ‘Mary Poppins’

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com For Devan Mathias, the stage production of “Mary Poppins” is the perfect combination of the book and the MUSICAL movie about the magical nanny.

“In the book, she is a lot more stern with the children and has a wicked sense of humor,” Mathias said. “This production marries those well.”

Mathias, a Fishers resident who helps direct Hamilton Southeastern High School shows with her husband, Ethan, played the title role in Civic Theatre’s 2015 production of “Mary Poppins.” Indianapolis resident Jeremy Shivers-Brimm returns as Bert in Civic Theatre’s production of “Mary Poppins,” which runs from Dec. 7 to Dec. 29 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

“I really wanted to do this show because it meant a lot to me the first time,” said Mathias, who again plays the title role. “I just want to breathe new life into ‘Mary Poppins.’ It’s such a great role. There are so many great things. You get to fall in love with the family and it breaks your heart when you leave them. There’s so much comedy. It’s vocally challenging.

‘Mary Poppins’ is all about the non-verbal cues. She’s quite the cheeky character, so it’s all in the wink of an eye or a nod or a chortle.”

Shivers-Brimm enjoys playing the role of Bert as a lovable rascal.

“In director Anne Beck’s vision, he is a guardian angel for the kids,” ShiversBrimm said. “In working with Devan last time, we developed a nice relationship that isn’t romantic and isn’t a friendship, it’s just a magical relationship between the two characters. I just like to find that three years later in a different way. I think (Mary and Bert) have so much respect and care for each other and they’re kind of partners-in-crime in teaching lessons in people that need the help the most.”

Sydney Pinchouck, a Fishers resident and sixth-grader at Holy Cross Lutheran School, plays Jane Banks.

“It’s fun to play bratty people,” Pinchouck said. “They’re very different from

the ones in the movie. The choreography is harder than some other stuff I’ve had to do. Then memorizing lines. This is the biggest role I’ve played in a real theater.”

Ben Kistner, a sixth-grader at Zionsville West Middle School, plays Michael Banks.

“I think it’s cool to be bratty, honestly,” Kistner said.

The biggest challenges Kistner said are “lines and blocking because it’s a really long show.”

Kistner, who previously performed in “James and the Giant Peach” at Jr. Civic, started acting at age 9. He also has performed in Christian Youth Theater and one school production.

“I think it’s cool to play different parts and be a versatile actor in front of other people,” he said.

Jennie Kistner’s mother plays the Teddy Bear.

“I get to scare (Ben) and come to life, which will be very fun,” Jennie said. “It’s fun to be on stage with him and not be his

mom, just be a member of the cast with him. It’s been a good bonding experience for the two of us. It’s been great to see him get such great direction, especially in a show with mostly all adults. He’s mostly acted with all kids. It’s nice to sit back and not worry about him. He’s getting good direction and he’s having a great time.”

Kistner’s daughter, Jilayne, played Jane Banks in “Mary Poppins” in a 2016 Christian Youth Theater production.

Jennie said her son loves acting, singing and dancing but really loves composing.

“When he’s not in theater, we’re trying to pry him away from the piano,” she said.

Zionsville Middle School language arts teacher Mikayla Koharchik plays Winifred Banks.

“It’s a great role in the sense that it tells the story of families,” Koharchik said.

“For adults, it’s a good reminder that kids need our attention and to focus on what really matters in a family.”

Guitar is a popular first choice for many who want to learn to play an instrument.

Americana folk performer CONCERT Kristin Rebecca learned to play guitar at age 13 and began taking voice lessons at 13.

“It was not something I expected to be,” Rebecca said. “I wanted to take up another instrument outside of studying voice. We went to a store in Minnesota where they sell Celtic harps. I saw it on display, plucked one of the strings and decided I wanted to learn to play it.”

It took about two years for Rebecca to become comfortable with the technique involved in playing the Celtic harp. She now travels the U.S. playing guitar and harp and singing her own original songs.

“I like to describe my style as if Joan Baez and Ed Sheeran made a CD together,” Rebecca said. “I do a bit of traditional folk and a few covers people know, like ‘Country Roads’ by John Denver, but a lot of my origi-

Scotty’s Brewhouse’s Mo’fo’ Jalapeno Burger layers pepper jack cheese, fresh jalapeno slices and the restaurant’s mo’fo’ hot sauce on top of a signature ground chuck beef patty. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

Scotty’s Brewhouse

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 1 Virginia Ave., Indianapolis What to get: Mo’fo’ Jalapeno Burger Price: $12 Anna’s take: Although I do love eating all things spicy, I was a bit nervous ordering this burger. When the menu notes that a side of “cool-down sauce” comes with your spicy burger, I worried that instead of being flavorful hot, the burger would be hurtful hot.

I was wrong, and Scotty’s nailed this entrée. It’s not too hot, despite the mo’fo’ hot sauce and fresh green jalapenos layered on top of the burger patty and Pepper Jack cheese. The burger was hot enough to get my mouth watering in that it-hurts-so-good way. The cool-down sauce is Scotty’s play on ranch. It paired great with the burger

and side of waffle fries I tried.

Scotty’s Brewhouse also has restaurants in Carmel and Noblesville and the north side of Indy for you local folks, but the downtown location is the perfect spot to hit before or after a Colts or Pacers game.

The restaurant is just a few minutes from Lucas Oil Stadium and Bankers Life Fieldhouse, making it an easy walk. Be mindful of potentially large crowds on game days.

Add extra time, but other than the busyness, Scotty’s has an excellent game-day atmosphere.

Suggested pairings: Normally, I don’t order domestic beers, but since I was eating at Scotty’s before the Colts game, I felt like I needed to order the official beer of the NFL, so I chose a Bud Light (“Dilly Dilly!”)

Scotty’s also taps craft beers from its sister company, Thr3e Wise Men Brewing Co., so if you like craft beer, try the Rocky Ripple pale ale, or my favorite, the Two Lucys Blackberry Wheat, for a fruitier taste.

Lights at Brickyard in 3rd year

By Mark Johnson editorial@youarecurrent.com For more than 100 years, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway has prided itself as the home of the “greatest spectacle EVENT in racing.” Since 1911, IMS has brought energy and excitement to the month of May in Indianapolis and transformed Memorial Day weekends into a virtual Hoosier holiday.

Now, more than a century later, the IMS has entered a new era of fun and spectacle.

The Lights at the Brickyard has introduced Christmas holiday magic with an Indy 500 flavor.

This drive-thru holiday experience, which is now in its third year, features displays on a 2-mile course that takes visitors through the infield, around the historic oval and across the Yard of Bricks start/finish line.

“Basically, we were looking back through things and at the fact that before 1994, the track was completely closed after May,” said IMS President Doug Boles, a Zionsville resident. “We wanted to find a way to utilize the track beyond May and August but maintain the family atmosphere. This was

a nice way to introduce folks to the track who had never been.

“In our first year of Lights at the Brickyard, we had about 150,000 visitors. Half of them had never been to the track.”

This year, Boles is particularly proud of a new feature which allows visitors an outof-car experience.

“Visitors will have an opportunity to get out of their cars this year and look at the museum and have hot chocolate,” he said. “There will also be a special Santa night on Dec, 9.”

Ticket prices range from $25 to $30.

Lights at the Brickyard runs through Dec. 30. For information on times and tickets, visit IMS.com.

IRT presents timeless classic

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com This is the 28th time Indiana Repertory Theatre has presented “A Christmas Carol,” and its message still rings true PLAY for director Benjamin Hanna.

“The story of Ebenezer Scrooge is quite timeless,” Hanna said. “We all know someone who is struggling to connect to the community and has separated from the world. Here’s a fascinating fact about the IRT production: Almost every word that is used onstage comes directly from Charles Dickens’ novella, so when we do make changes, we always consult the original story. I think every time a new director approaches the script you see some changes because there is a new perspective guiding the production.”

This is the Indianapolis resident’s first time directing “A Christmas Carol” at IRT, which runs through Dec. 26. Last year, he assisted the director, Janet Allen, so he could spend time with the play and learn about its long history before directing it himself.

“We are fortunate to have the amazing Ryan Artzberger playing Scrooge once again, which makes this his eighth year in

Blueprint for Improvement: west Carmel attic finish Commentary by Larry Greene

AFTER SOLUTIONS

After

Before

The goal was to add more functional square footage by finishing the attic space above the garage.

1. The first significant change was adding a large window to the attic space, which allowed natural light to enter the space, making the attic feel larger and giving the exterior of the home some extra curb appeal.

2. The next major change was finishing out the space by framing, insulating and adding drywall and electrical to the attic.

3. A ceiling fan and plenty of recessed lighting were added to the home office.

4. Multiple closets were added to the attic in order to give the homeowners the storage space they needed.

5. The doors and trim were selected to match the rest of the home for a cohesive design.

6. For more project details follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Houzz!

Background info: This home, built in 1993, is in the Springmill Ponds neighborhood of west Carmel. The owners loved the home and wanted to stay there for as long as possible, but they lacked the space they needed.

BEFORE PROBLEMS The owners often worked from home but did not want to compromise the space they already had in order to convert a room into their home office. The attic space above the garage was unfinished and underutilized, so they hoped to find a solution that involved using that space to its fullest.

I didn’t wear glasses until college, which was before I believed in North Dakota. During a lecture hall GRAMMAR GUY class, I found myself squinting to see the chalkboard at a distance. After seeing an optometrist, I realized my vision wasn’t that great. As it turns out, I’m near-sighted.

Now, I wear glasses all the time, even when viewing things up close. Mostly, it’s because I want to appear smart. Here comes the segue!

Do you know another way to look smart?

Know the difference between sight, site and cite! These three homophones trip people up all the time, just like when you walk down a flight of stairs, get to the bottom, then try to walk down one more stair that isn’t there. It’s an awkward and sometimes painful experience.

Sight can either be a noun or a verb. As a noun, it can take many definitions, most notably the ability to see, something worth seeing, or a device that aids your eye. As a verb, sight means to view, glimpse or aim at something. Those new glasses really helped my sight. You haven’t lived until you’ve seen the sights in North Dakota. Remember, you need to have light to have sight. Sight is all about seeing something. Light = sight.

Site can also be a noun or a verb. It has everything to do with location. Site can mean the physical location or position of a building or city: Even though the movie is called “Fargo,” the site of most of the filming was in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area.

The town of Rugby, N.D., is the site of the geographical center of North America. When we’re talking about electronic position, site refers to websites. A website is something you go visit on the internet. Site = location.

Cite is the odd man out of these three words. Not only does it start with a different letter, but it can only be used as a verb. It means to refer to something, to summon someone to come to court, or to deliver a violation. The police officer cited me for driving 95 mph outside Bismarck, N.D. I thought speed limits weren’t a thing in North Dakota!

Sight, site and cite can be quite the tricky trio of linguistic limbo. Just like wearing glasses, by knowing the right sight/site/ cite, people will think you’re a genius. And, for the record, North Dakota is real, and it’s spectacular.

DISPATCH Pass the seltzer water — When you’re mouth feels like cotton and your throat like the Sahara Desert, getting your hands on the single most thirst-quenching drink becomes the only thing that matters in life. Although the obvious route might be to reach for a glass of cold water, a new study suggests a different approach. The most thirst-quenching drink, according to science, is a glass of cold seltzer. A study published in the Public Library of Science journal confirmed what you’ve probably known in your heart of hearts all along: There’s nothing better than seltzer when you’re thirsty.

SAVE THE DATE Ruins of Beth Shemesh. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Beth Shemesh’s golden ‘tumors’ Commentary by Don Knebel The city of Beth Shemesh, Israel, 19 miles west of Jerusalem, was an important Israelite town during the period of the biblical judges. Originally named for TRAVEL the Canaanite sun goddess and lying at the border between Israelite and Philistine territories, it figured in the history of the Ark of the Covenant.

According to 1 Samuel, just before the time of King David, Israelite soldiers took the Ark of the Covenant, holding the stone tablets containing the Ten Commandments, into battle against the Philistines, hoping its presence would bring them victory. The plan failed. The Philistines killed 30,000 Israelites and captured the Ark, which they took to Ashdod and displayed in the temple to Dagon, their national god. That turned out to be a bad idea. The statue of Dagon soon toppled and broke. More important, the Philistines began suffering from hemorrhoids, sometimes euphemistically called “tumors,” and were overrun by mice. To rid themselves of these plagues, which they attributed to the wrath of Yahweh, the God

of the Israelites, the Philistines put the Ark on a cart yoked to two milk cows. To appease Yahweh, they also placed on the cart five golden representations of their hemorrhoids and five gold mice and then sent the cows away. When the cows crossed the border into Beth Shemesh, the townspeople joyously accepted the Ark and the golden offerings. Using wood from the cart, they sacrificed the cows in a burnt offering of thanks to Yahweh. Unfortunately, when many of the men of Beth Shemesh peered into the Ark, Yahweh struck them dead.

The excavated ruins of the biblical town of Beth Shemesh, including an impressive underground reservoir holding 60,000 gallons of water, lie just outside the modern city, which has a population of about 115,000. What became of the golden hemorrhoids is not known.

Imagine doctors who listen to you and your body.

Community has a knack for finding primary care physicians who believe patients know their bodies best. And it’s the doctor’s job to help interpret. Together then, every concern, question and doubt are understood and addressed. If that’s what you’re looking for, we hear you. That’s exceptional care, simply delivered. All from a health network that had the beautiful idea to bring them both together.
