Indiana officials support reopening schools, expect more cases

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Despite a rise in COVID-19 cases, positivity rates and hospitalizations, Indiana State Health Commissioner PANDEMIC Dr. Kristina Box said it is still important that Indiana reopens its schools.

“I get a lot of questions about whether schools should be reopening now because we have more cases than when schools were shut down in March,” Box said. “We shut things down in March to prevent a surge that would overwhelm our health care system.

That allowed us to build the infrastructure for testing and secure the needed ICU beds, (ventilators) and PPE to ensure hospitals could manage the outbreak for the longterm. We were successful in this effort, so the conversation now about schools reopening is really quite different.

“I continue to believe that our schools can safely reopen by wearing masks, practicing social distancing and good hand-washing, cohorting students and ensuring people who are sick or who are close contacts of someone with COVID stay home. This does not mean our schools will be free of COVID. What it means is that we all need to do everything possible to limit the spread of COVID.” This month, many Indiana schools have opened or plan to reopen with mitigation efforts to stop or slow the spread of the virus. Some schools are offering in-person and remote learning opportunities. Many secondary schools have adopted a hybrid learning model, allowing older students in sequestered groups to attend in-person classes two or three days a week and learn remotely the remainder of the week. Other school systems have delayed reopening indefinitely.

To date, state officials have left reopening decisions to local leaders and school officials.

In the first days of the new academic year, multiple Indiana schools reported

COVID-19 cases, some on the first day of in-person classes, causing other students and staff to quarantine.

The decision whether to conduct in-person classes comes as the state reports increased COVID-19 hospitalizations, daily hospital admissions, positivity rates and cases. The number of daily tests conducted, however, also has increased. State officials reported 923 COVID-19 hospitalizations as of Aug. 4. On June 26, the state reported 595 hospitalBox izations, its lowest mark since a high of 1,579 on May 4.

On July 29, the state had a 7.4 percent seven-day average positivity rate, according to the Indiana State Dept. of Health. The rate measures the percentage of COVID-19 tests that come back positive. Since midJune, the rate has steadily risen. State officials reported a seven-day average positivity rate of 4.3 percent June 18, 6.3 percent July 4 and 7 percent July 14. The rate peaked at 14.5 pecent on May 3 when testing was restricted to those with symptoms.

Although state officials expressed concern about the positivity rate, they acknowledged it varies by county and that mulitple factors could affect a county’s positivity rate. As of press time, Boone County had a positivity rate of 7.5 percent. Hamilton County had a positivity rate of 6.3 percent, according to the state’s online dashboard, which can be viewed at coronavirus.in.gov.

Some counties had positivity rates less than 5 percent, and others had rates higher than 15 percent.

State officials will continue to monitor positivity rates in Indiana counties, Box said, by examining the number of tests per 100,000 people, sources of outbreaks, emergency department visits for specific

symptoms, emergency room visits and hospitalizations to help school and local officials make decisions during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Box said there is no single statistical metric to objectively determine whether reopening a particular school would be safe.

She said that COVID-19 cases are expected in schools that allow contact sports.

“We have certainly seen cases from these contact sports,” Box said. “That’s to be expected. I’ve said all along that I think that this is a decision that will be made not only locally at the community level with the schools and the public health people in the community, but also individually for each family depending on that individual child’s health and the family’s health and who that individual child might bring an infection home to that lives in the same home.

“I think all of that is a personal decision that needs to be made. That being said, we will see more cases of COVID with these contact sports because you can’t do wrestling or some of these other sports without being in each other’s face.”

Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb said the pandemic has caused virtually all Hoosiers to make adjustments, including schools.

“I have, too, received a lot of input from school administrators saying how excited they are for school to get back,” Holcomb said. “So, yes, there are different opinions along the way, but it’s also really brought us together from the most local perspective — with your local health department, local school corporation, with the state and all of our resources. It really has brought us together to get us through this together.

And it will change. There will have to be adjustments. That is a little unnerving, but the comforting fact is we are all in this together.”

“This does not mean our schools will be free of COVID. What it means is that we all need to do everything possible to limit the spread of COVID.” – Dr. Kristina Box

This year’s contest included youth 17 and unBricker der. The ZCD modified the contest due to the COVID-19 pandemic, waving the entry fee and limiting it to youth participants. As a result, this year’s contest drew 33 youth entries, a record number, according to ZCD Diffendal Sidewalk Poetry Contest Committee Chairwoman Adela Creasy.

“We wanted to allow them a voice during this time for them to document their feelings and the times around them,” Creasy said. “The contest itself is further meant to promote public art, but it is also a way for us to kind of have more of a cultural experience within the Zionsville area.”

Officials report COVID-19 positivity rate spike

Boone County Health Dept. officials warned the county’s COVID-19 positivity rate, a gauge to measure PANDEMIC the spread of the disease, was increasing.

BCHD Emergency Services Director Tom Ryan said Aug. 3 the county’s positivity rate was increasing, despite Witham Hospital reporting it had not admitted a COVID-19 patient in at least a week.

The BCHD reported a 6.64 percent positivity rate the week of July 12. The following week of July 19, it reported a 6.83 percent positivity rate. Ryan said the department is waiting for results for the week of July 26.

The World Health Organization has said states should have a positivity rate of less

than 5 percent for at least 14 days before lifting stay-at-home orders.

“We are looking at schools,” Ryan said during a county commissioners meeting Aug. 3. “Schools want 5 percent or lower (for there) to be everyone in the school.”

Although the positivity rate the last few weeks has been higher than 5 percent, the county’s mortality rate has declined, Ryan said, adding that continued mitigation efforts such as mask wearing and hand-washing were vital to lowering the county’s positivity rate. To date, the health department has reported 51 COVID-19 deaths in the county.

On July 27, Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb issued a statewide mask mandate, requiring all Hoosiers 8 and older to wear face coverings in most public indoor settings or when they are unable to social distance outside.

However, many law enforcement agencies have stated they would not enforce the mandate.

Lisa Younts, BCHD administrator and director of nursing and vital records, and Tom Santelli, one of the three Boone County commissioners, said they have received reports of county residents not adhering to the mandate. They said they have received reports of people taking off their masks in stores and after entering and in restaurants.

“We’re still in an all-volunteer situation,” Santelli said, referring to the governor’s mask mandate.

Younts said whenever the health department receives a complaint, it reaches out to the business or entity to provide more education and underscore the importance of mitigating the spread of the virus.

Zionsville resident named board president of Indiana Mortgage Bankers Association — Centier Bank CEO and Chairman Michael E. Schrage appointed Zionsville resident Bryan Traylor to board president of the Indiana Mortgage Bankers Association. “I’m humbled and honored to serve as the board president for the IMBA for the next 12 months, during this unusual business time,” Traylor said. “We have an opportunity as an industry to be a leader in pulling our economy, both local and national, out of this pandemic in the coming months and years.” Traylor has served as vice president on the Zionsville Town Council, the Zionsville Safety Board and the Zionsville Police Commission. He has been a board member of IMBA for four years and joined the bank in 2013.

FINDING AND PROVIDING SUPPORT

A Zionsville mom’s journey after loss

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Zionsville resident Laura Murakami had a stillbirth in 2017, and all she could ask was, “Why?” “I had never been through anything like that,” Murakami said. “My life had been pretty, I don’t know, I guess, easy. I had never gone through a trauma, so I didn’t know how to handle this loss that I was feeling and this big ocean of grief I was in.”

For the past 10 years, Murakami has worked as a pediatrics nurse at Riley Hospital for Children and taught nursing at Purdue University as a continuing lecturer.

Helping others through similar, challenging medical situations was her job, yet she was unable to find a way to cope with her own loss.

Murakami said it’s normal when dealing with a loss to question why it happened.

She wanted to answer the question for herself and found it through yoga.

“The only thing I found after a while that helped me was yoga,” Murakami said. “Without yoga, I don’t really know where I would be. I feel like I really coped well with that loss single-handedly because of yoga.”

Now she wants to share her journey with other women. Starting Aug. 22, Murakami will teach a yoga class at IU Health North called Yoga After Loss. The idea is to provide a safe space for women. The class is for women who have had miscarriages, stillbirths or lost an infant soon after it was born. The class will be streamed on Zoom free of charge during the COVID-19 pandemic with no class-size limit.

“Sometimes moms would come into the hospital, and Laura would be teaching these classes in person, but during the pandemic, we have started offering a lot of these classes on Zoom,” said Berkley Rios, a marketing consultant of regional public relations and social media at Indiana University Health.

Murakami hopes that her unique yoga class, which she said to the best of her knowledge is not offered at other hospitals or yoga studios, allows women to connect

through their shared experiences and learn to cope with their loss.

“I think finding yoga as a way to heal my grief and then sharing it with others, that was my ‘why,’ and that’s what I’m supposed to be doing,” Murakami said.

In March, Murakami became the newest yoga instructor at IU Health North. Although she kept her position at Purdue’s nursing school as a continuing lecturer, she no longer works as a pediatric nurse so that she can focus on teaching. She has taught a prenatal yoga class in addition to a Mommy & Baby yoga class.

Murakami approached her supervisor and told them she lost what would have been her second child (she has a 7-year-old daughter, Alice, and a 1 1/2-year-old daugh-

ter, Stella) and explained how important yoga was in her journey.

As a pediatric nurse, Murakami said she saw “bad things happen to good people that didn’t make sense” and that she had not experienced. She empathized with patients as much as she could, but after her own experience in 2017, she could relate in a markedly different way.

“It’s different when you’re experiencing it yourself,” she said. “When you’ve gone through grief and having to find ways to cope, I think now it makes me better able to relate to moms because I can understand their pain and maybe how it feels to have a loss like that. Grief is definitely different for everybody.

“I know that what helped me wouldn’t

Laura Murakami, a Zionsville resident, said it would have been helpful to find a group of women who openly talked about their experiences with losing a child after she had a stillbirth in 2017.

It wasn’t until after she began to become more forthright with her own experience that she found women who shared similar stories. Murakami said miscarriages and stillbirths are “something that people don’t talk about.”

“I don’t know if that’s because it’s too painful, or I don’t know if it’s just like any difficult situation, and people don’t know what to say or how to hold space for being with somebody in their grief,” Murakami said. “I definitely went through times in my grief where I could sense that people maybe didn’t understand why I was so sad, because my son was never alive. He was never here and had a life and then was taken. He was taken right away, so I don’t know if people understood, necessarily, why I was sad about that.”

Murakami said she felt she needed a way to cope with her grief and to find people who could relate to her experience and the emotional toll it exacts. Now, instead of concealing grief, Murakami wants to encourage women to support each other through their grief.

“A lot of times, especially in our culture, we are not comfortable with grief,” Murakami said. “Our culture is very go, go, go, very fast-paced. So if you’re going through something difficult, which can take months, years, to deal with, to cope with, a lot of times you have to repress it so you can function. And I don’t think you can heal without facing what you went through. So talking what you went through, with all the emotions that come when you think about what you’ve gone through or talk about your story, is all part of healing. So there is definitely power in being able to give voice to your experiences of loss and grief.” help everybody, but just knowing what helped me and being able to share that in case it does help somebody is really important and should be shared.”

The class will focus on gentle movement, breathing and breathing positions.

Yoga After Loss meets monthly and is free. Women do not need to have an affiliation with the hospital. For questions, call the IU Health North Childbirth Education office at 317-688-2465.

Opinion on ‘Jesus in Havana’

Commentary by Terry Anker Among the many changes delivered by the proliferation of media outlets is subspecialty programming. For decades, television ran at a consistent cadence.

It had limited choice and very high control. Viewers could either tune into one of the three major networks, which aligned their schedules to identical time and style, or catch one of the lessthan-a-handful of independents as they delivered reruns of network stock or the occasional lesser sporting event. We all watched the news at the same time, and we all came to expect that family drama would begin and end within the 22 minutes squeezed in between the commercials and opening and closing credits.

Evidence of the change is this month’s annual return of Discovery Channel’s “Shark Week.” It includes hours of new programming aimed at all things about the apex predator of the high seas and their often bloody interactions with humans. The cable network promises to deliver dozens of hours of themed product that, even when discounted for the countless ads, is sure to bring some learning about the impressive animals.

Fans will attest that the producers have found a formula and have stuck with it. They build anticipation by use of short, often ominous, outlines — then cut to commercial. “You may die on this Florida beach, standby for more information.”

Then, they explore a years-old attack and cut to a modern study that might explain the circumstance. “Is it safe to go back into the water?” Again, commercial. From there, they wrap up with something that seems like an answer but always with a caveat: “Scientists disagree on the variables and impact — more study is required.” It is all very exciting but intellectually unsatisfying. Is it safe to get into the water or not? How much death risk is a day of fun and exercise worth?

I just can’t ‘Belize’ it Commentary by Danielle Wilson Friends, my husband, Doo, is having a midlife crisis, and if my memory is correct, this is his second in 10 years.

HUMOR Perhaps the first was simply a warmup, or maybe he’s going to now make it to 100. Regardless, amidst all the other shtick that’s currently hitting the stupid proverbial fan, I’m dealing with a partner who spent the weekend researching live-aboard sailboats in Belize.

That’s right! Apparently, we are quitting our jobs, selling our house and moving to either an ocean or a sea, details TBD. Not immediately, of course. We still have one kid in high school and three who may or may not be staying put, depending on the COVID-19 status of their colleges. There’s also a rather pesky ban on all international travel. But according to Doo, this is happening soon.

So, he’s looking for trial-run opportunities, first to see if he can actually captain a

boat in open water, and second, to ensure we won’t kill each other in such a confined space. Forget our commitment to paying off credit cards or the other small vacays we already have on the books (Murrell’s Inlet, S.C., 2021!), Doo’s focused on weeklong excursions featuring taglines like “off the grid” and “a yachter’s paradise.”

However, as the self-appointed monitor of the purse strings and the official Chez Wilson reality checker, I’ve been less than supportive.

Doo is calling me “Destroyer of Dreams.”

But I’m not in crisis.

I love my work, I like our home and I am perfectly content with our yearly Carolina vacays. I’m also fairly confident that, like last time, this, too, shall pass. Peace out.

That’s right!

Apparently, we are quitting our jobs, selling our house and moving to either an ocean or a sea, details TBD.

Editor, I normally read (Don Knebel’s) interesting travel column, and this time I found the one that (he) just wrote about the story of the sculpture, “Jesus in Havana.”

I have lived in Indianapolis since 1961.

I am an 86-year-old born and raised in Cuba, until the arrival of the Communist dictatorship of the Castro regime that confiscated all private businesses, including the business where I worked.

I want to offer my opinion on the subject; it is absurd to attribute or suggest that (Cuban sculptor Jilma) Madera has spoken such blasphemies of Christ smoking a cigar and drinking a mojito, especially when the vast majority of Cubans at the time were predominantly Catholic. This is a lie fabricated by Communists who are mostly atheists.

Wishful memories at WISH-TV Commentary by Dick Wolfsie My friend Bob Haverstick founded an organization in 2001 known as Never Too Late, which granted some HUMOR 2,000 final wishes to senior citizens during a period of a dozen years. I had the honor of showcasing many of these requests being fulfilled on my WISH-TV segments. Here are some of my favorites: Albert and Esther fell for each other 60 years earlier. Now, they were going to fall with each other, skydiving for their 60th anniversary — both tethered to a professional diver. Albert and Esther landed within moments of each other. I ran over with a microphone to get their reactions.

“Make sure you ask both of us,” Esther said. “I can hardly see anything, and Albert can hardly hear anything.”

In her late 70s, things were slowing down for Eloise and she wanted one last chance to do something racy. Her request was to barrel down the track at Indianapolis Raceway Park in a dragster. On live TV, Eloise got in the back of a two-seater car, buckled her harness and off she went at 170 mph. Seconds later, she crossed the finish line. I assumed that was going to be one of the highlights of her life, but she looked disappointed.

“How was it?” I asked.

“Well,” she huffed, “I thought I was going to drive.”

Jimmy Dunham was an Indianapolis 500 mechanic (in his day, mechanics rode with

the driver) but Jimmy had not been to a race since he and driver Kelly Petillo were victorious in 1935. In 2005, Never Too Late flew Jimmy and family in from California to see the race. Prior to the start, Jimmy studied the field and correctly predicted Dan Weldon would cross the finish line first. So, for the second time in 70 years, Jimmy Dunham was a winner, Paul and Georgia were celebrating their 80th wedding anniversary. They were both 100 years old and Paul had been a fan of my segments.

“I’ve been watching you since I was a little boy,” he said when he met me.

They were both lucid, but Georgia had been experiencing some memory loss.

During the interview, Paul disclosed the key to their long marriage: “We have never had a fight in 80 years.” Hearing that, Georgia responded: “And they think I’m the one with Alzheimer’s.”

Anna, who was turning 100, requested to meet me in person. I went to her 100th birthday celebration at a square dance. Then, I went to her 101st birthday, then 102nd, 103rd, 104th and 105th — where she whispered in my ear, “This is too tiring for me. Let’s just do it every three years.”

Albert and Esther fell for each other 60 years earlier. Now, they were going to fall with each other, skydiving for their 60th anniversary — both tethered to a professional diver.

Foundation gifts Boone County school systems $50,000 grants

UNMATCHED SERVICE. UNCOMPROMISED VALUES. For more than 25 years, The National Bank of Indianapolis has provided superior service and local decision making to our clients while supporting the community at large. We’ve navigated thousands of clients through the current climate by helping them protect what they’ve built.

“I think we shocked them,” said Jodi Gietl, president and CEO of the Community Foundation of Boone County. “It was really moving for us. I’m so proud of our board of directors to see a need and just do an immediate funding of our grant money.”

Normally, the foundation invites county nonprofits to apply for grants during two funding cycles each year, but the board of directors deemed the needs of the county schools and “the best assets of our future,” the county’s children, deserving of any help the foundation could offer, Gietl said. The foundation has distributed an estimated $220,000 in total grants to county schools and various nonprofits during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“This grant is tremendous and significant,” ZCS Assistant Supt. of Academics Kris Devereaux stated. “With the situation being so fluid, this will allow us to be very responsive, should there be other urgent needs that come forward.”

Some officials from county school systems expressed an interest in buying more electrostatic foggers, which can quickly sanitize buildings and buses, which could be useful against COVID-19 and other viruses.

Blueprint for Improvement: Open-concept kitchen in Fishers Commentary by Larry Greene

Before

THE CHALLENGE This 2011 home is in The Woods at Thorpe Creek neighborhood in Fishers. Previously, the kitchen had been walled off from the living area, with only a small pass-through to connect the two. The homeowners wanted to make the kitchen feel more connected to the rest of the home.

THE SOLUTION

After

1. The wall separating the kitchen and living room was removed and a new, larger island with sink and plenty of seating was added.

2. Storage is abundant in the new space, with a wall of custom cabinetry and drawers. Some of the cabinets feature seeded glass panels.

3. The homeowners chose to mix two countertop styles — quartz for the island and stovetop area and wood block for the wall of storage.

4. The tone-on-tone backsplash is laid in a double herringbone pattern for a subtle yet sophisticated statement.

Youth ensemble production opens at Westfield Playhouse

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Noblesville High School senior Rosie Allenson had to expand her creative skills.

Allenson plays three difTHEATER ferent roles in the ensemble performance of “The Monologue Show” for Westfield Playhouse’s youth production.

“It’s more characterization work because you want the audience to have a clear understanding you are playing three different people,” Allenson said. “It was a lot more work in creating three completely different characters, but the writer (Don Zolidis) really helps with that. He’s brilliant.

Each monologue is incredibly unique.

“The Monologue Show” will be the first production in the new Westfield Playhouse at 220 N. Union St. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 14 and 15 and 2:30 p.m. Aug. 16.

“I have had some experience before doing ensemble-type shows and played different characters, but not as starkly contrasting as these three girls I’m playing,” Allenson said. “I love the characterization process no matter what show I’m in, and this was especially fun since I got to do that times three.”

The cast has been rehearsing in person in face masks since July 29. Previously, it was rehearsing virtually.

“We’re going to perform in face shields so you can see all the expressions,” Allenson said.

Tanya Haas, a Carmel resident, is the only adult member in the 12-person cast, playing Mrs. Banks, the teacher. Her son, Charlie, a Cathedral High School sophomore, also is in the cast. They acted in Carmel Community Players’ “Dad’s Christmas Miracle” in 2016 along with Christian Baltz, a Carmel resident who also is in the show.

“Funny enough, I played their teacher in that show as well,” Haas said.

Haas has been in three other Westfield Playhouse shows.

Westfield Playhouse over the years,” she said. “Besides appearing in shows myself, most of my children have also appeared in Westfield shows over the years. When (producer) Tom Smith pointed out to me that I would be speaking the very first lines on the new stage, I was really honored. Originally, I was scheduled to direct a full youth production for the Playhouse this summer, which I was very excited for. When current circumstances made that production unwise to produce due to social distancing guidelines, the idea for this show came up. I did not feel I was the best person to direct a monologue show, so I happily turned the new show over to Brandi Davis. When the opportunity arose for me to actually be in the show, I was more than happy to take the role. Having worked with a few of the young cast members previously as an actor or director, and having seen quite a few of them in other productions, I knew it would be a unique and fun show.

“The cast has absolutely amazed me with their level of preparation, profession-

alism and talent. I know the cast, as a whole, is extremely proud to be a part of the first production in this beautiful new theater.”

Charlie plays three characters.

“It’s a little odd having a lot of the people playing multiple characters, including myself, but I feel like it works really well, and everyone brings so much to the characters they play,” he said. “It’s also interesting to see how people react to what’s going on as the characters they’re playing at the moment.”

Davis, from Elwood, is the director. Jadin Payton, Davis’ son, is playing three roles.

“The biggest challenge is COVID-19 and keeping them socially distant on the stage while still staging the show,” Davis said.

“I spent two hours on the stage (July 30) marking the stage to keep them apart. The staging keeps them 6 feet separate at all times. There are a couple of pass-throughs but when they are sitting and standing, they have to stay 6 feet apart from one another.”

Due to increased restrictions on entertainment venues in Indianapolis because of COVID-19, Beef & Boards THEATER Dinner Theatre will take an unprecedented second intermission this season, starting Aug. 10.

Since reopening in July after postponing shows due to the pandemic, Beef & Boards has worked diligently to make entertainment in its venue as safe as possible with its comprehensive responsible reopening plan that included plated meals, reduced audience sizes, spaced seating of parties, germicidal lighting in all air handlers and mask requirements for all. However, with Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett’s restricted audience size reduced to 25 percent, it is simply not sustainable to continue productions at this time. The theater’s plan is to reopen in the fall.

“It breaks my heart to take this ‘time out’,” stated Doug Stark, owner of Beef & Boards. “However, for the safety of the Beef & Boards Family and their guests, it’s the grownup thing to do. Please stay happy and healthy, and we sincerely hope we can play again in the fall.”

of bacon (lamb, black pepper or yam for the vegetarians out there) and is topped with scrambled eggs and cheddar cheese.

It’s served with a side of roasted potatoes, greens and skhug sauce, a type of hot sauce often used in Yemeni cuisine.

Suggested pairings: The Garden Table has several mimosa options, but I tried the Bird Shirt cocktail ($12), which is a refreshing blend of Plantation Original Dark Rum, St. George spiced pear liqueur, house-made peach simple syrup and Bittercube Bolivar Bitters.

Fishers Parks to hold concerts

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com In a normal summer, Fishers Parks Dept. would present multiple concerts per week.

Although nothing about 2020 MUSIC is normal, Fishers Parks Director Sarah Sandquist said the department wanted to have something for the public, so it created the Fishers Pop-Up Concert Series.

“We approached this series with caution for changing times and to ensure we could ensure concertgoers would be able to distance and enjoy the concert safely. We intentionally started with a small series in order to gain proof of concept before adding additional events to our schedule,” Sandquist said.

Toy Factory performed July 24 with two shows at Nickel Plate District Amphitheater, also called the NDP AMP. Huckleberry Funk, a rhythm and blues band based in Bloomington, is scheduled to perform at 6:30 and 8:30 p.m. Aug. 21.

“The first event was great,” Sandquist said. “Concertgoers stayed in the squares we painted on the ground and everyone

showed up with their mask and kept it on in public walkways where distancing was not possible.”

Sandquist estimates typical attendance for past concerts at approximately 5,000.

Sandquist said the concert was near capacity for the 6:30 p.m. show and the plan was to clear the lawn before the 8:30 show.

“Our lines were much shorter at the gates for the 8:30 p.m. show so we did not clear the (area),” Sandquist said. “With the mix of 6:30 and 8:30 attendees, we were near capacity.”

Honoring Mary Magdalene Commentary by Don Knebel One of the most beautiful buildings in Jerusalem honors a woman falsely labeled a prostitute almost 1,500 years TRAVEL ago.

According to the Christian New Testament, Mary Magdalene (Mary of Magdala) supported Jesus’ ministry financially and witnessed his crucifixion and burial. Some biblical accounts say the risen Jesus appeared first to her. In A.D. 591., Pope Gregory I preached a sermon claiming, without any legitimate basis, that Mary Magdalene was a prostitute. That claim gained acceptance within the Roman Catholic Church but was rejected by the Orthodox Church, which recognizes St. Mary Magdalene as “equal-to-the-Apostles.”

Mary Magdalene was the patron saint of Russian Empress Maria Alexandrovna, the mother of Czar Alexander III. In 1881, a year after his mother died, Alexander visited a Russian Orthodox mission in Jerusalem and was persuaded to build a church honoring his mother on the western slope of the Mount of Olives overlooking the Garden of Gethsemane. The church, featuring sev-

en gold onion domes, each topped by an Orthodox cross, and a sandstone exterior finished to resemble marble, was built in 1888 and dedicated to Mary Magdalene. The interior includes a large painting illustrating a legend that Mary Magdalene appeared in Rome before Emperor Tiberius, protesting the killing of Jesus by Pontius Pilate. Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna, the granddaughter of Queen Victoria who converted to Orthodoxy when she married Alexander III’s brother, Sergie, commissioned the church’s artwork. When Sergei was assassinated in 1905, Elizabeth became a nun and founded a Moscow convent. In 1918, Elizabeth and Sister Barbara, a fellow nun, were among those tossed into a mineshaft and killed by the Bolsheviks. The bodies of these now sainted women lie in marble sarcophagi in the church. The church is also home to about 30 nuns of the Convent of St. Mary Magdalene, established in 1936.
