Business owners assess damage after fire

By Heather Lusk • news@currentzionsville.com Clean up is under way after a fire that started in downtown Zionsville Sept. 18.

The buildings at 70 downtown South Main Street and 65 South First Street were impacted. They house three apartments on the second floor and Silk Purse Antiques, Julie Bova Interior Designs and Noah Grant’s Grill House & Oyster Bar at ground level.

The Zionsville Chamber of Commerce quickly offered assistance but businesses are still trying to determine needs.

“People need to sit and assess,” Zionsville Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Tracy Phillips said. “My response was when you know what you need, tell us what you need.”

She also has heard from chamber members offering their services.

“I have no doubt people on Main Street and the rest of the Zionsville community is going to step up and help when they want it and when they need it,” Phillips said.

The cause of the fire is still being investi-

Boone County law enforcement officials arrested a Sheridan man early Sept. 17 after he allegedly drove a vehicle into a pond before fleepublic safety ing on foot.

Zionsville police said that an officer attempted to pull over the driver of a 1995 GMC pickup truck at approximately 2:28 a.m. for speeding on US 421 near Interactive Academy.

The officer followed the vehicle into the Interactive Academy parking lot and saw that it came to a stop in a Broadway pond. When police approached, they did not find anyone in the truck.

Police partnered with the Boone County Sheriff’s Office and the Zionsville Fire Dept. to establish a perimeter and called in a K-9 and drone to search for the suspect.

Police said an off-duty Boone County deputy and Zionsville police officer spotted the suspect walking northbound along US 421. Police identified him as Scottie Broadway, 47, of Sheridan. He was arrested for possession of marijuana, possession of paraphernalia, false informing, leaving the scene of an accident and resisting law enforcement.

“There’s nothing left,” she said. “It was all coming with us.”

On Facebook, Julie Bova Interior Designs announced it will operate as usual, but “we do not know when our retail store, located at 70 South Main Street, will be back up and running.”

Workers from Julie Bova Interior Design and Total Restoration assisting with the clean-up declined comment on the extent of devastation except to say items were firedamaged. Throughout the week, trucks were loaded with debris and damaged furnishings.

“There will be time when we can give some help, but now is not the time,” Phillips said of assisting affected businesses. “They’re just figuring everything out right now.”

To the north of the building an alley prevented the fire from spreading. Noble Order owner Mike Miller said his business was not affected.

“We were really fortunate on that end,” he said. “It doesn’t appear that we have damage that would interrupt our business in any way.”

Man who shot tortoise charged

By Ann Marie Shambaugh • AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com

A Zionsville man who shot and killed a neighbor’s pet tortoise that wandered onto his property Aug. 31 has been charged with one count of criminal mischief for his actions.

The Boone update County Sheriff’s Office investigated the incident and concluded that Brandt Lawson “recklessly, knowingly or intentionally destroyed” the tortoise, a 16-year-old sulcata named Merlin, without the consent of its owner, Tasha Chapel.

Boone County Sheriff Mike Nielsen said his department is committed to protecting Merlin was a 16-year-old sulcata tortoise. (File photo) the lives of humans and animals.

“This is an unfortunate circumstance with Merlin, because he is not considered a domestic animal by state law. When we found out what occurred we immediately began an investigation with our animal control liaison,” Nielsen stated in a press release. “This is just another example of why we have been working so hard for the last year on getting the proper county animal control ordinance in place as well as the funding for a full-time animal control officer.”

The Indiana Board of Animal Health, Indiana Dept. of Natural Resources, Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office Humane Law Enforcement Division and Boone County Prosecutor’s Office assisted in the investigation.

Chapel has started a Facebook page to share Merlin’s story, called “Justice for Merlin.” As of Sept. 19 it had more than 2,600 followers.

Jog-a-Thon aids elementaries

By Heather Lusk • news@currentzionsville.com When Jog-a-Thon returns to Zionsville’s elementary schools Sept. 27, there’s not a chance that Union Eleducation ementary parent Jennifer Fyffe won’t be involved.

“You couldn’t tell me no,” she said of her fourth year as chair of the Jog-a-Thon at Union. “I love doing it for the kids. I love doing it for the school.”

The seventh annual event occurs simultaneously at the five elementary schools.

Fyffe and volunteers representing each of the schools begin planning in January, pooling their resources for sponsorship and general expenses.

Although overall planning is the same throughout the district, each school puts its own twist on activities. At Union Elementary, each student receives a medal with the number of laps completed written on the back. Last year, Fyffe had the idea during the Olympics and brought it back this year because of its popularity.

Union also rewards the class raising the most money with a special activity with Principal Jennifer Raycroft, who has been made into an ice cream sundae in the past.

YOUR NEXT-DOOR BANKING EXPERTS. Patty Williams’ kindergarten class walks the first lap of the 2016 Jog-a-Thon at Union Elementary. (Submitted photo)

Along with the vice principal, Raycroft has been duct-taped to a wall, had a silly string fight with students and been soaked in a dunk tank.

“I want to make it fun for the kids and fruitful for the school,” Fyffe said.

Last year, the five schools raised nearly $140,000 through corporate sponsorships and family donations. Union Elementary put a large portion of last year’s donations toward teacher laptops and grants.

“We’re able to do so much with that money during the school year,” Fyffe said.

“We’re blessed at the amount of support from the community, support from the parents and excitement from the children.”

ZCS fifth in ISTEP+ scores

By Desiree Williams news@currentzionsville.com

Zionsville Community Schools placed fifth in the state in the 2017 ISTEP+ scores for grades 3-8 with 78.4 education percent passing. This is an increase from 76.7 percent in 2016. Grade 10 increased to 62.7 percent passing from 58.8 percent last year.

Overall, scores in the state remained stable for grades 3-8 while 10th grade scores increased slightly from last year.

Zionsville Community Schools Supt. Scott Robison said ZCS relies more heavily on Northwest Evaluation Association testing than ISTEP, because ISTEP is not nationally normed and will soon be changing.

“NWEA testing that is of a pre- and post-test design for students each year in grades K-8 provides us an individualized, longitudinal view of student performance with nationally normed test items based on the Indiana state standards,” Robison said.

Robison said ZCS has some of the highest scores in the state because of striving students, engaged parents and excellent staff.

Firefighter helps hurricane vicitims

By Heather Collins news@currentzionsville.com For Whitestown firefighter Clint Crafton, helping evacuate and assist victims of Hurricane Harvey in Texas task force 1 was among the most challenging things he’s done in 23 years working in public safety.

“This is the hardest I’ve ever worked,” Crafton said. “What we walked into and what we left behind were a day and night Crafton difference.”

The Carmel resident was among 14 members of Indiana Task Force 1 deployed to Houston as part of the FEMA Urban Search and Rescue program Aug. 27 to Sept. 6 to assist with rescue efforts after the devastation of the hurricane. The team was comprised of firefighters from across the state, including members of the Greenfield, Indianapolis and Carmel fire departments.

Crafton has been a members of Indiana Task Force 1 for 12 years.

Originally, team members thought they would focus on water rescues, but they were assigned to evacuate 4,000 to 6,000 people from three flooded evacuation centers. Indiana Task Force 1, along with the Nevada, California and Colorado task forces, began moving evacuees to the Jack Brooks Regional Airport near Port Arthur, Texas. Along with the Texas National Guard, Indiana Task Force 1 moved 2,500 people from the airport to the super evacuation center in Dallas via a 60-passenger, C130 cargo plane.

Indiana Task Force 1 assisted with processing and tracking people, confiscating firearms, assisting those with medical needs, gathering donations of Pedialyte for babies and transporting evacuees to the

new facility.

Crafton said the community support and outpouring of donations was breathtaking.

The airport quickly became a makeshift donation center.

“The biggest lesson I learned was just the amazing community spirit and the people that came from everywhere to help their neighbors that they’ve never met,” Crafton said.

The task force also spent two days doing secondary surveys throughout rural Jefferson County. The team was tasked with searching for, assisting and rescuing people stranded after the hurricane. It also helped two ranchers rescue a calf stuck in deep water, saved several dogs and checked on and kept records of community members who did not evacuate.

COMMUNITY The facility opened in February, designed with animal comfort in mind. A separate entrance for cats leads to the front desk by a side door, with hallways and dedicated exam rooms keeping felines and canines out of one another’s sights. Soft tile floors on the canine side are gentle on older dog’s joints and reduce the noise of toenail clicks, which in turn helps reduce anxiety for cats.

The three cat exam rooms have doors with large windows allowing natural light from the large windows across the hall to filter into the room.

Four of the six canine exam rooms face exterior windows, but for dogs who might easily be distracted by the outdoors, two other exam rooms have windows high in the ceiling, which ensures that every exam room has some form of light.

“Even though there’s not a window here, and that helps with distraction, the patient is still getting natural light,” Operations Manager A.J. Keesee said. “We knew we wanted these interior rooms but somehow incorporate natural light.”

When patients finish their appointment they can check out directly from their exam rooms before leaving via a separate canine exit, something Keesee said is the highlight he hears most from patients.

“I love being able to check the clients out in the exam room, having their own exit,” he said. “I didn’t think it would be that big of a deal. It makes sense when you’re at Zionsville Country Veterinary Clinic the front desk trying to hold your dog and other dogs are ‘pioneering’ low-stress visits for pets coming in. By that point the dog’s finished.”

perfect timing The fear-free initiative was started by veterinarian Dr. Marty Becker of Idaho, who created a task force with other behaviorists and animal trainers to devise standards of practice to make vet visits as calming as possible.

Although the standards will officially be released next year, Zionsville Country Veterinary Clinic is one of the first in the nation to be built from the ground up to incorporate the standards.

ZCVC co-owner Dr. Shari Lyons said the timing was perfect because she was considering a new facility when the initiative was underway.

“I just took the pages of information and tried to put as many of those things as possible into my building,” she said. “All the scientific stuff that went into it would say this would work, but you never know. You try it.”

The feedback from pet owners is that their pets have had very positive, calm experiences, which has amazed Lyons.

“This is still a veterinary clinic. Dogs and cats are not stupid,” Lyons said. “I was pleasantly surprised.”

Although many veterinary offices can make adjustments to facilitate a fear-free or low-stress environment, changes like separate dog and cat entrances and exits aren’t usually feasible in an existing building.

Veterinary architect Heather Lewis compares it to the development of children’s hospitals, with an experience that caters to the comfort of the patient.

“Because the accreditation standards for practices don’t exist yet, those who are doing it now are really pioneering,” Lewis said.

Mea culpa to the chief

Thumb-driven communication

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker Even as another “breaking” news story is pushed out on social media or live broadcast by some beleaguered, up-and-coming reporter striving to make a name for himself as he risks life-and-limb in reporting from a hurricane zone, one wonders if a little less instantaneousness might make more sense. Sometimes, are we better off to reflect a bit before we commit to the world our first and spontaneous thoughts?

Sitting in any coffee shop, one is entertained and, frankly, impressed by the thumbability of the collected masses.

Folks attack their smartphones ferociously.

Whatever the message, it is delivered nearly immediately and often with little intentional thought. Some of us live in a world where impulse dictates action.

As communication technologies evolved, Gutenberg took great care to select topics for distribution. Martin Luther came to know his publishers personally to ensure their support in circulation. Franklin and other Founding Fathers pushed hard for a national mail service. Even most recently, folks had to find a telephone, attached to the wall, and rotary dial a single intended target. Were we better served when our impulses were more constrained?

What harm is done when our drunk-dial is not directed only at a person we know but instead broadcast to the universe – friend, foe and future alike? If poor judgment, even in a weak moment, becomes a permanent scar, how do we cope? If we let our thumbs do the talking, is our brain taking the backseat?

Bottle caps used to be more fun Commentary by Ward Degler Next time you open a bottle of soda or beer, take a look inside the bottle cap.

Yeah, I know, there’s nothing to see. Just a soft vinyl seal.

Plain talk It wasn’t that way when I was a kid. Every bottle cap had a cork insert. And that presented possibilities.

We used our jackknives to pry out the insert. In those days every guy had a jackknife. Mine had three blades. Some of the rich kids had super jackknives with scissors, screwdriver and a corkscrew as well as three blades.

Once the cork inserts were removed we were ready for action. We could attach the caps to our shirts by reinserting the cork from the inside of our shirt into the cap on the outside.

We also could attach them to our blue jeans, except we had to be careful where we put them. Some locations could cause embarrassing injury. In school if we sat behind a girl with a big flowing collar, we could attach one there. We had to be careful there, too. Being slapped by a girl you thought was cute hurt more than the sting of the slap.

Collecting the bottle caps was another part of the process. We started with the

big four: Coke, Pepsi, 7-Up and RC Cola.

Then we went for the off-brands. That included Dr. Brown’s Cream Soda, Sprite, Bubble Up, Slice and Nehi.

For some reason, Nehi Grape was the hardest to find. Maybe because it was a relative newcomer in the soda pop market. Coca-Cola emerged in 1894. Pepsi made its debut in 1898. But Nehi didn’t come along until 1924.

Of course, we had to get beer bottle caps as well. As it turned out, beer was more regional than soda. Griesedieck beer was found only in Missouri, where it was brewed. Jax came from the South, and Grain Belt was strictly a Minnesota brew. Wisconsin brewed Stag and Schlitz.

I filled up the entire front of a tee shirt with caps. I wore it with pride an entire summer. Rather than try to wash it at the end of the season, mom said it was ruined, so I hung it on my bedroom wall with thumbtacks.

When I went away to college, it disappeared.

I used to honk people off all the time with my columns. PTO moms, Catholics, the breastfeeding contingent – I humor could go on and on. I would receive hate mail about once a month, usually highlighting my terrible parenting or wife-ing skills (is wife-ing a word? Now the grammar police will be writing!) and, occasionally, offers of prayercircle mention. Not that I miss the backlash, but I do wonder if anyone out there is reading me.

According to my Current inbox yesterday, they are! Thirty-three emails awaited my attention. Most were spam, but 10 were not.

I’d completely forgotten about my piece a few weeks ago where I likened President Trump to my teenage daughter, labeling them both insufferable. I’d apparently struck a nerve with a few Republicans who wrote that it was I (or is it me? Grammar police, I need you!) who was being insufferable with my disrespectful trash talk.

They have a point. I shouldn’t have compared my 16-year-old to a baby boomer.

She still has nine years before her brain is finished maturing. She’s dealing with hormones and homecoming, academics and acne, college applications and cellphone apps. Of course, no one can stand to be around her — she’s a hot mess!

But I do expect our president to at least behave like he has a plan. Like he knows what he’s doing? Like he has learned something from his 70-plus years on this earth? I didn’t vote for him, but I believe in the office he now holds. So pull it together, Mr. Trump.

The PTOs of this world, and, yes, even this grammar-questioning writer need you.

Peace out.

Driving while not intoxicated Commentary by Dick Wolfsie “Have you been drinking?” asked the officer when he stopped me on Broad Ripple Avenue in Indianapolis, after I humor had turned off of Keystone. I was on my way to do a WISHTV remote shoot, my usual Sunday morning beat.

“Drinking? Officer, it’s 9:30 in the morning.”

“When is the last time you had a drink?”

“I don’t remember.”

“That’s not a good sign, sir.”

“That’s not what I mean. I think I had a beer three nights ago,” I stammered. Stammering, by the way, is not recommended during a situation like this.

The officer explained that when I made my turn, I “nicked the median with my front tire,” and that in his experience, “this usually means the person has had a few too many.”

“Officer, I’m not drunk. I’m just a lousy driver.” As you can see, I was having trouble saying what I meant to say.

He went back to his patrol car with my registration. A few minutes later he returned to my vehicle. “Have you ever been

arrested?”

“Arrested? Look, I know you’re just doing your job, but other than having a few books overdue at the library, I’ve never been in trouble in my life.”

“Sir, I am going to let you go, but based on your careless turn, I would be justified in giving you a breathalyzer to see if you are legally drunk.”

When I got home, Mary Ellen asked why I was so late. I told her that I hit my front tire on the median and a cop pulled me over for being intoxicated.

Yesterday morning I went back to that corner and performed the same maneuver multiple times. In 9 out of 10 attempts, I was successful in negotiating the pesky median that separates the opposing traffic lanes.

If I were a baseball player, that would be a .900 average. However, it wouldn’t be for hitting. It would be for missing.

Carmel on Canvas issues awards

Gaynor thrilled to be inducted into Songbook Hall of Fame

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Mitzi Gaynor isn’t sure if she will sing at her upcoming Songbook Hall of Fame induction. One thing for sure is she won’t be able to show off famous dancing moves.

While rehearsing for a tour in August, Gaynor broke her foot.

“I fell off my 4-inch heel,” Gaynor said.

Stumbles are rare for the legendary singer/dancer/actress, who will be inducted into the Songbook Hall of Fame Sept. 30 at The Palladium in Carmel.

The dinner part of the gala is sold out but tickets remain for the second half, which begins at 8:30 p.m.

“I love it, I love it,” Gaynor said of the induction. “It’s just wonderful.

This man (Michael Feinstein) is so marvelous.

He’s so wonderful, I can’t stand it. He’s such a fine human being and so talented. He wants me to be in this (Hall of Fame). It makes me want to cry, it makes me so happy. I’m so proud of it. Not many Mitzi Gaynor performing in “South Pacific.” people have ever done this.”

Feinstein is the artistic director for the Center for the Performing Arts and Songbook Foundation founder.

Gaynor will be inducted along with Ella Fitzgerald and Ray Gilbert, both deceased.

“Ella was a friend of mine. She used to live down the street in Beverly Hills,” Gaynor said.

Gaynor has great praise for Kristin Chenoweth, who will perform at the Gala.

Best known for writing lyrics to Academy Award-winning song “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah” from Disney’s 1946 classic “Song of the South.”

Gilbert also wrote “You Ray Gilbert Belong to My Heart,” “Sooner or Later” and “Casey at the Bat.” Gilbert died in 1976 at age 63.

editorial@youarecurrent.com

Following her movie career, Gaynor did a series of TV specials in the 1960s and ’70s.

Gaynor said her show, “Razzle Dazzle!

My Life Behind the Sequins,” features music and stories from her past.

Mitzi Gaynor as she performs today. (Sub“I sing, I dance and mitted photos) change costumes eight times,” Gaynor said.

Appearing before a live audience still thrills her.

“There’s nothing like it in the world,” said Gaynor, who enjoys bantering with the audience. “It’s so much fun. I feel like I’m with my family, no, better than your family because your family is always such a pain in the (butt).”

Gaynor said she will retire the first time she doesn’t sell a ticket.

“Or the first time I can’t wait to get to the theater to rehearse, then I’m going to quit,” Gaynor said.

Gaynor made her movie debut at 19 in “My Blue Heaven” in 1950. She appeared with Ethel Merman and Marilyn Monroe in “There’s No Business Like Show Business” in 1954.

Perhaps her most recognizable movie role was as Ensign Nellie Forbush in Rodgers & Hammerstein’s “South Pacific” in 1958.

Feinstein and Songbook Ambassadors Annie Yokom (2010), Julia Goodwin (2013) and Finn Sagal will be part of the show.

When: 8:30 p.m., Sept. 30 Where: The Palladium, at the Center for the Performing Arts.

Tickets: Start at $125.

Known as “The First Lady of Song,” Fitzgerald was one of the most popular singers in the U.S. for more than half a century.

She sold more than 40 million albums and won 13 Grammy Awards. Fitzgerald won two Grammys for two Songbook projects, singing Irving Berlin and Duke Ellington songs. Fitzgerald died in 1996 at age 70.

Thinking about changing your name? While it can be time consuming, the process of changing your name is a fairly simple one.

Did your name change because you recently got married? No problem—head on over to your local Social Security Administration office for an application. You’ll need to bring with you proof of citizenship, documents that prove your identity, and certified documents that reflect your change of name (like a marriage certificate). Was your name changed as part of a divorce decree? The Social Security Administration will make you jump through the same hoops and you’ll need to provide a certified copy of your divorce decree. Changing your name for reasons outside of a marriage or divorce, however, takes a little more effort and requires petitioning your local circuit, superior, or probate court.

Who’s eligible to petition a court for a name change?

Indiana residents may petition a court for a name change if they are at least 17-years-of-age, are not currently incarcerated, and are not currently required to register as a sex or violent offender. If you meet those requirements, you should be good to go and can file a petition in your local county court. You’ll be responsible for paying a filing fee, which can vary from county to county.

Indiana law does have statutory requirements that must be met for a petition for a name change to be valid. What names have you gone by or are associated with? Do you have proof of citizenship? How about a valid U.S. passport? Do you have any felony convictions? Among other requirements, these are just a few key pieces of information that must be contained within a petition for name change.

If you’re requesting a name change on behalf of a minor, expect to meet additional requirements. Most notably, the reason(s) for the name change of a minor must be listed and the written consent of the non-filing parent is almost always required.

Notice requirements must be met before a name change will be granted. After you’ve filed your petition and paid the appropriate filing fee, you still must abide by Indiana’s notice

requirements, all of which need to be met before your scheduled court date. You’ll need to publish 3 weekly notices of your name change petition in your local newspaper, the last of which needs to be published at least 30 days prior to your scheduled hearing. These notices allow interested parties, like a creditor or, in the case of a minor, a parent, to come forward and object to the name change.

Sounds straightforward, right? If you’re changing the name of a minor, you’ll need to include more specific information within the notice than is required for an adult name change. Additional rules also apply if you’ve had a felony conviction within the previous 10 years and noncompliance of the additional notice requirements under the statute could result in a Class A misdemeanor.

Once you’ve completed all your notice requirements, you’ll need to file proof of your publications with the court. This requires a verified affidavit of a disinterested person and, although this is typically handled by a person in charge of handling legal notices at your local newspaper, it’s important to follow up to ensure the court has all required documentation prior to your scheduled name-change hearing.

Don’t forget you’re responsible for notifying applicable agencies of your name change! This is no different than if you change your name due to marriage. Once your name change has been granted by a court, it’s your personal responsibility to make sure government agencies, employers, creditors, and any other interested party are aware of the change. A copy of your court order granting your name change is usually sufficient for most businesses, but some agencies, most specifically government agencies, may require a court-certified copy.

Daylight affects weather Music Director

Commentary by Joe Drozda and Bob Bley Experts tell us that in September we lose about 1 hour and 17 minutes of daylight.

Here’s a tailgate riddle: What starts out cold, gets hot and then ends up cold, even though its fire never goes out? The answer is a fall day of tailgating. If you’re planning a fall tailgate party, you have to keep temperatures in mind.

For the full column and a list of foods that will keep tailgaters warm, visit currentnightandday.com.

Cumin Yogurt Dip Ingredients: 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 2 cloves garlic crushed and diced, 2 cups plain Greek yogurt, 4 tablespoons sour cream, 1/2 teaspoon salt (fine sea, plus more to taste), 1.4 teaspoon cayenne Preparation: Mash, peel and chop the garlic, then sprinkle it with a little sea salt and mash it to form a paste. In a medium bowl, stir to combine the yogurt, sour cream, garlic, ground cumin, salt and cayenne. Adjust all seasonings to taste.

Cumin yogurt dip has a little kick.

(Submitted photo) JANNA HYMES Music Director

Cover and chill to allow flavors to blend for at least 2 hours. Transfer the mixture to a seal-and-serve container and pack in your food cooler. At the tailgate, serve with vegetables and/or crackers. Make it more attractive by sprinkling a few whole cumin seeds on top (serves 12).

Blueprint for Improvement: Modern master bathroom Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions:

Before

Background Info: This spacious home in the Valley Brook neighborhood of Carmel was built in 1989.

Throughout the home there are several bathrooms, and many hadn’t been updated since the home was built, including the bathroom in the master suite.

The owners wanted to give their master bathroom an update while creating more efficient use of the space they had. Their new master bathroom has an open, modern design.

1. The biggest transformation was removing the standard gold framed shower and replacing it with a frameless glass shower, making the room appear much larger, overall.

2. Another dramatic change was replacing the decked tub with a free-standing tub and repositioning it to create more space for the second vanity.

3. New quartz countertops and wood-look tile flooring give the space a modern but timeless look.

4. Additional changes included custom cabinetry with efficient storage solutions and a new light plan to brighten the space.

After

Before problems: The master bathroom had plenty of space, but the original cabinets were bulky and lacked efficient storage. The design and layout of the shower and tub made the bathroom appear smaller than it was. Additionally, the bathroom fixtures dated the space.

TSHIRT

Chorazin and the Seat of Moses Commentary by Don Knebel Chorazin is one of three villages most closely associated with the earthly ministry of Jesus. Excavations at travel Chorazin have revealed both a chair described by Jesus and an inexplicable image of a monster.

During the first century, Chorazin (or Korazin) was a Jewish village set on a hillside north of the Sea of Galilee. The village, known for the quality of its wheat, was about 2 1/2 miles due north of Capernaum, the center of Jesus’ ministry. According to the Bible, Jesus performed most of his miracles in Chorazin, Capernaum and nearby Bethsaida. Because the people witnessing those miracles did not repent, Jesus expressly cursed all three villages by name, beginning with Chorazin. As a result, early Christians expected the Antichrist to be conceived in Chorazin. Later Christians believed Jesus’ curse explained why a fourthcentury earthquake destroyed Chorazin, by then an important city.

Although archaeologists have not yet

found the remains of first-century Chorazin, they have uncovered ruins from the third century. In the middle of the 25-acre city was a large synagogue, constructed of black basalt, a volcanic stone. In 1926, excavators found a chair, carved from a single block of basalt and inscribed in Aramaic, near the wall of the synagogue that faced Jerusalem. Scholars believe the stone chair was the so-called Seat of Moses. According to Jesus, as quoted in the Gospel of Matthew, rabbis made authoritative pronouncements from the Hebrew Scriptures while sitting in this chair. The original chair is in the Israeli Museum in Jerusalem, but a replica lies along the southern synagogue wall. Curiously, the Chorazin synagogue also featured a stone relief of the head of snake-haired Medusa. Why a synagogue used for worship by people forbidden to have graven images would include the representation of a monster from Greek mythology remains a mystery.

Battle of the Latin abbreviations Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt You probably weren’t surprised to learn I was an English major for one semester in college. This grammar guy week, I’m leveling up the nerd factor and divulging another academic secret of mine: I took three years of Latin in high school. And, for a dead language, Latin is everywhere. Ever heard of an astronaut?

They didn’t have those back in the Roman Empire, but astronaut gets its name from combining the Latin word for star (astrum) with the word for sailor (nauta). Boom: star sailor.

We use Latin in our abbreviations all the time without really even knowing what they mean. Today, I’m going to focus on i.e. and e.g. and try to help you understand when each is appropriate to use.

The abbreviation i.e. stands for id est, which is Latin for “that is.” Use i.e. when you want to clarify or further define what you just stated. Think of i.e. as “in essence.” Here’s an example: Carmel’s City Council recently removed funding for the mayor’s $5 million carousel, i.e., one superexpensive horse tornado.

The abbreviation e.g. stands for exempli gratia, which means “for example” in Latin.

It’s easy to remember “e” is for “example.” I like to think of e.g. as “egg sample,” which would be a strange item to try on sample day at Sam’s Club. Here’s an example for you: I love any kind of fall activity (e.g., jumping in leaf piles, watching football and consuming any pumpkin-flavored beverage).

Here are some other things to remember: Always add periods after each letter in i.e. and e.g. They are abbreviations, not their own words. Always add a comma after the abbreviations, even if your spell check interjects a squiggly red line beneath it.

Other Latin abbreviations that are part of our everyday lives include R.I.P., P.S., C.V., N.B., per cent. and vs. They are all ticked they didn’t get any attention in this article, i.e., not the prettiest ponies at the petting zoo.

Dispatches Aspirin for stain removal ­— If your white t-shirts have sweat stains that don’t come out in the laundry, try this hack: Mix a couple crushed, uncoated aspirin with warm water, then add the mixture to the stains.

Let it sit for a few hours, then throw the clothes in the washing machine as usual.

Allowing clothing to soak in water with aspirin can help to release stains before they are washed the conventional way.

Source: MSN.com Deluxe hose reel — It’s crazy-expensive, but if you’re a serious gardener, it’s crazycool, too. Frankly, there’s nothing like the RoboReel Water Hose Reel. Its features include 100 feet of hose that retracts with the touch of a button, a rechargeable battery, remote control shut off, 1-hour auto shutoff and more. RoboReel can be found at many home improvement stores or online.

Source: FamilyHandyman.com Generator safety — A generator is the best thing to have in a blackout. But, like any internal combustion engine, a generator engine exhausts carbon monoxide gas, which can give you a headache, knock

you out or even kill you. This is easy to avoid, though: Don’t run a generator in your garage or porch, and keep it at least 10 feet away from your house.

Source: FamilyHandyman.com Basement flooding dangers — If your basement gets flooded because of heavy rains or a water line break, there are a couple of things you should do before entering the basement. Call the electric and gas companies to have those utilities shut off. Live power lines in the water can electrify it, and a damaged gas line can cause gas to leak into the space above the water. You might not even smell the gas because of other odors in the water.

Source: FamilyHandyman.com Avoid sleeve creases — Ironing sleeves can be difficult if you’re trying to avoid creasing them. Instead of buying special accessories for ironing sleeves, try this trick. Slide a small rolled up towel into the sleeve. For delicate items like blouses, use a thin linen dishtowel. This will prevent you from ironing creases into those sleeves.

DRAB TO FAB: KITCHEN, BATH AND LAUNDRY ROOM REMODEL The Affordable Companies • The-AffordableCompanies.com • (317) 575-9540

By Courtney Walker The client-designer partnership in this kitchen, bath and laundry room remodel was nearly one of those fairy-tail stories. While talking with both The Affordable Companies’ designer, Carlie Crousore-Suski and her client about the beginning inspiration, process and end result – their answers were nearly the same.

Lighter, brighter, “everything” is what they both love in the new design.

It started when The Affordable Companies renovated the Masthead project in Fishers and opened the kitchen reveal to neighbors, friends and clients.

The prospective client instantly fell in love with the design and designer, Carlie. Years later, Carlie received a call.

“It took her some time to realize she was ready, but once she was, I met with and learned about her wishes for the space,” Carlie

says. “From there, I had a great idea of what she was looking for in a custom kitchen and bath.”

As you may notice from before images, the kitchen, powder bath and laundry were dark, divided and displayed poor lighting elements.

“By shifting tall items to one side of the room, this allowed us to knock down the wall between the kitchen and dining room to create an open concept with glass doors, glass shelves, open wine storage and great lighting,” Carlie says.

“One of my fears of the new design was losing storage, but I actually have more functional storage now,” the client said.

The kitchen and powder bath were designed with a fully custom cabinetry line from The Affordable Companies.

“To state it simply, if you can dream it, we can build it,” Carlie says.

Equipped in her client’s kitchen are spice racks, flatware dividers, tray dividers, roll out trays and the cutest and most functional wine storage niche – accessible from both the kitchen and dining room. Just off the kitchen, a powder bath renovation used the same cabinetry line.

“My husband loves his new bath with operating drawers in the vanity for storage,” the client says. “I wanted it to look more like a furniture piece. The outcome was the perfect compromise. He’s also thrilled with the amount of light in his bathroom.”

If this flawless renovation story and beautiful design gives you the redo fever, contact a design professional at The Affordable Companies by visiting their website the-affordablecompanies.com or give them a call at 317-575-9540.
