COVID-19 positivity rate rises in Boone County

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Tom Ryan, Boone County Health Dept. emergency preparedness coordinator, said the county has seen unPANDEMIC precedented numbers of new COVID-19 cases in recent weeks, which have pushed the county closer to being a red county on the state’s color-coded coronavirus map.

In the reporting week ending Nov. 20 (the BCHD’s reporting week ends on Fridays), the department reported 390 new cases, the most since the start of the pandemic. Cases have increased each week since early October, and health officials have warned most cases have been attributed to community spread outside of long-term care facilities.

The following weekend, Nov. 21-22, 160 cases were reported, foreshadowing what was expected to be another record-high week of new cases.

Ryan said the county’s positivity rate for the first two weeks of November was 9.62 percent (the BCHD’s data is more recent than

data reported by the Indiana State Dept. of Health). He said Nov. 23 that the county would still likely be orange on the state’s coronavirus map on Nov. 25, meaning no new state-level restrictions would be enacted. But he warned the county’s increasing positivity rate could turn the county red, meaning gathering restrictions would be restricted to 25 people. A county is deemed a red when it reports more than 200 positive cases per 100,000 residents and a 15 percent positivity rate. As of Nov. 18, Boone County had 517 positive cases per 100,000 residents.

“We’re expecting these last two weeks of November to be higher, even above 10 percent,” Ryan said.

The BCHD reported the county had an 11.8 percent positivity rate the third week of November.

Ryan said the BCHD is reviewing up-

coming events to determine whether to permit them. In addition, the Boone County Commissioners renewed the county’s state of emergency resolution in response to a surge in county COVID-19 cases. The commissioners were scheduled to meet Nov. 30 to determine whether to renew the resolution for another week.

Witham Health Services also was expected to open a drive-thru testing site at the Boone County 4-H Fairgrounds beginning Nov. 30.

A doctor’s note will be required to be tested at the site. Ryan said the site also would likely be the location of the county’s Phase 1 COVID-19 vaccination site. Health care professionals are expected to be the first to be vaccinated when shipments arrive. A vaccination site for Phase 2, when immunizations are expected to become available to more people, is still under consideration, Ryan said.

“We’re expecting these last two weeks of November to be higher, even above 10 percent.”

The views of the columnists in Current in Zionsville are their own and do not necessarily reflect the positions of this newspaper.

120Water, a digital water platform based in Zionsville, announced it has partnered with Hach, a water quality WATER testing and instrumentation company, to make water quality and compliance programs faster, simpler and more informative.

The partnership enables Hach to offer the 120Water digital water platform as an additional service to its customers. 120Water’s platform consists of water sample and filter kits, cloud-based software and services used to manage and execute drinking water programs at scale.

“Together we can bring an end-to-end drinking water compliance platform to our mutual utility customers,” stated Megan Glover, CEO of 120Water. “This is especially

important as many utilities face ongoing resource constraints in addition to new challenges based on proposed changes to the Lead & Copper Rule (LCR), which is already one of the most complex requirements of the Safe Drinking Water Act.” The revised LCR is likely to include a new communications requirement to notify customers within 24 hours of when a utility is informed about elevated levels of lead in its drinking water and will require that water systems make current lead service line inventories available to the public, according to the companies.

120Water’s end-to-end solution automates the sending and tracking of sample test kits, unifies all related data, including customer information, service lines and water-quality results, and provides outof-the-box communications, reports and

dashboards, including a Public Transparency Dashboard of known lead lines.

120Water’s platform was built specifically for the water industry and can be used across a broad scope of drinking water programs, such as lead service line replacement, and can be applied to multiple contaminants, including lead and arsenic.

The solution will integrate with Hach’s Water Intelligence System, Claros, extending its ability to apply data management and process management to drinking water compliance.

“With this partnership, Hach is better positioned than ever before to support customers in their ambitions to ensure water quality, optimize their processes and overcome budget constraints,” stated Jeff Stock, vice president of Marketing at Hach.

Dentist holds candy buyback

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Martine Dentistry at Stonegate recently conducted its 12th annual candy buyback, but the process was DENTAL CARE slightly different.

Dr. Gary Martine, a dentist practitioner, started the buyback after reading a message from the American Dental Association. Now, his business regularly collects several pounds of candy each year, starting the Monday after Halloween, from residents to send to U.S. military service members overeas.

But this year, the candy was sent to a local National Guard unit, which he said was appreciated by the military personnel and parents.

“Here (was) an avenue to help parents out, help servicemen out, and it’s a win-win for everyone,” Martine said. “I say it’s like a drug I’m getting off the street. Initially, when kids would come in, they would be sad they had to give up their candy. They were not excited about that until I gave them a dollar for every pound they had.

Then their eyes lit up, and they did not mind

Martine said parents regularly thank him for keeping their children from eating excessive amounts of candy each Halloween.

Candy donations are typically sorted and shipped to a distribution site in California before being sent overseas. Martine calls the candy buyback a “goodwill act.”

This year’s collection was sent to National Guard units in Lebanon and Lawrence Township.

“The servicemen have told me to tell (children who participate in candy buyback) thanks because it helps more than the kids even realize,” Martine said.

Per son a l T r us ts & Es tat es

Every time winter approaches, I can’t help thinking about the time I lived in Hastings, Minn., a small town on the PLAIN TALK confluence of the Mississippi and St. Croix rivers.

By this time of year, all the leaves had been raked, the windows caulked, weather stripping replaced and firewood split and stacked.

Winter comes early and stays late in that part of the country, and once that first snowstorm roars through, there isn’t much to do except drink beer and soup up our lawnmowers.

Some of us simply tuned up the engines with fresh oil and new spark plugs. My more ambitious neighbors, however, tore their machines down to nuts and bolts and rebuilt them from the wheels up.

When the ice finally melted in the lake, around the first or second week in May, the whole town assembled in the nearby industrial park for the annual lawnmower race.

Folks arrived early and brought sandwiches.

And beer, of course.

Everyone was feeling pretty good by the time Lars Larson, the unofficial judge of the race, stepped up to the starting line with a beer in one hand and his starter pistol in the other. Lars had no special qualifications for his position other than he had coached the high school track team one year and owned a starter pistol.

When the gun went off, drivers gunned

their engines and roared away in a cloud of greasy smoke. One or two invariably killed their engines in the rush of excitement and had trouble restarting. After several failed attempts, they usually pushed their mowers to the side, joined the spectators and popped open another beer.

By the time the race was half over, less than a third of the mowers that started were still running. Some had blown their over-stressed engines. Others ran out of fuel because they brought beer but forgot the gas can. Still others wound up in the woods or the creek at the hands of intoxicated drivers.

By the end of the day, only one or two mowers were still running, and nobody could remember how many laps they’d run.

By this time, several of the drivers were sleeping it off in the grass and somebody made another beer run to a nearby gas station.

By the time the sun went down, all the mowers had been rounded up and returned to their respective garages. The following day, their owners would sharpen the blades for a summer of cutting grass.

And dreaming wistfully of winter and next year’s race.

NO END IN SIGHT

Witham nurses overcome challenges of COVID-19 pandemic

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Witham Health Services nurses said the COVID-19 pandemic has been challenging for all health care workers, including in Boone County.

Rebecca Bradley, 38, director of Witham Health Service’s emergency department, said doctors, nurses and staff have confronted the disease not only at work but in their Bradley personal lives as well, resulting in a continuous battle that weighs on them emotionally.

Yvonne DeBard, 56, cardiac clinical director at Witham Health Services, said the hospital’s staff is tired and under immense pressure. She said some nurses and employees are contracting the virus and DeBard even more are quarantining because of possible exposures, which has limited staffing.

Boone County is experiencing another surge of COVID-19 infections, but Witham nurses believe they are up to the challenge.

When the pandemic began, Bradley said the hospital had to solve the problem of how to care for patients who contracted the virus with organizing and planning.

“There were so many unknowns in the very beginning,” Bradley said. “We were basically throwing everything we could at what we didn’t know in hopes of taking care of everything we needed to take care of.”

Early in the pandemic, Witham saw more deaths than it has in recent months. The Boone County Health Dept. has reported eight COVID-19 deaths since mid-July.

Between the start of the pandemic and mid-July, the BCHD reported 50 COVD-19 deaths. However, health experts have warned that the reporting of COVID-19 deaths often lags behind case surges, and Witham is seeing more cases compared to

As of Nov. 23, Davis said nurses and patients.

The stress of working through a pandemic with no immediate end in sight has exacted a toll on health care workers. Rebecca Bradley, director of Witham Health Service’s emergency department, said all areas of the hospital have been affected. Yvonne DeBard, cardiac clinical director at Witham Health Services, said 12-hour shifts, three days week, were standard weeks for nurses before the pandemic. But now, nurses are working 12-hour shifts four or five days a week and working weekends.

“You can shut down a county, you can close restaurants and hair salons, but you can’t shut down a hospital,” Bradley said.

“It takes its toll some days,” DeBard said. “I’m generally a pretty laid back, calm person, but there have been days where the stress levels have been over the top.”

Gene Davis, director of infection control at Witham, said staff has turned inward to cope with the stress, learning to support one another during what he calls an unprecedented time in his nearly 30-year medical career. He also appreciates the community support staff has received.

“I think that Witham has been very blessed,” Davis said. “We have a great team of people. We have a great support network, internally. We’re a small hospital, and our motto is ‘Small hospital, big medicine.’ And we are a small enough hospital that the people that are working together are more than just co-workers. We’re a family, so some of our best support that we’re getting is the support we’re getting from each other.

“That’s what is pulling us through this, and I know that’s probably what’s going to get us through to the end of this.”

“Wearing an N95 (mask) is different from wearing a cloth mask or procedure mask,” Bradley said. “It’s tight on the face. It leaves marks. It’s hard to carry on a conversation through, so it’s even more of a barrier. It’s hard to lose that human connection when that is one of the main drivers for a nurse.”

Davis agrees.

“We realize that people, human beings, need contact, especially in some of the most difficult times in their life,” Davis said. “They need that human contact. It has created barriers. It has limited our ability sometimes to have that human touch, but it is also important.”

ESSAY

LETTER

Divergent opinions

Thankful for thoughtful, generous people

Commentary by Terry Anker We all have our opinions. And in most cases, we are fully, entirely, completely, incontrovertibly and undeniably committed to them. Still, we have friends, neighbors, family members and every manner and sort of human with which we interact, even in times of quarantine. So, how can we hope to navigate a world filled with so very many opinions?

And so very many of them likely don’t conform with our own.

No doubt, employers and customers can cause us to bend our wills a bit. But also, one can find conflict with those who work for us — tailors, contractors, mechanics and repair specialists come to mind. Sure, they might form an opinion based upon experience. But shouldn’t we challenge them occasionally with our own view, if for no other reason than to consider diversity of thought? Plus, if we are paying, why can’t we have it our way?

Any among us who have remodeled a house or altered a garment knows the peril of the encroaching expert opinion.

One enters with a desired outcome: “I’d like the hem to fall here,” or, “I’d like the fixture to be mounted this low.” The service provider retorts, “Oh, you don’t want it like that — no one does.” Hmm. Well, at least one person did. They may be right.

It may not be to local code. It may cause one to trip over the fabric. Alternatively, it may be personal preference. When does someone’s “professional” opinion simply become “their” opinion? Taste is predilection but not dispositive. Views are perspectives but not all inclusive.

Frustrated, one might demand that others do what is asked, not what is preferred. But is forcing the hand of another, especially against their own opinion, ever a strategy of likely success? Can we accommodate for others and still get our way?

Reveling in cancel culture Commentary by Danielle Wilson Recently, I reread my 2019 column on surviving the holidays. Basically, it was the gold standard of sage HUMOR advice: “Just say no,” “Expect the worst” and, alcoholically speaking, “Pace yourself.” But it occurred to me that this year, as we enter our 10th month of a pandemic, many of the chaos and stress-inducing factors of typical December madness will be, if not nonexistent, then at least substantially lessened. Which means, you’re already fully prepared!

Think about it. All the time-sucking, gift-giving, insipid social gatherings that drive us introverts to drink are canceled!

No three-hour, off-key choir concerts, no awkward office parties and certainly no embarrassingly obnoxious family reunions.

And even if a stupidhead decides to throw a subversive get-together, you’ve got a fool-proof declination excuse: “Test results pending.” Basically, the need for the first of the three aforementioned guidelines is null and void.

As for the second, puh-lease. If you

haven’t learned by now that each month of 2020 can and will remain a complete disaster, then contact me immediately with the name of your dealer. “Expect the worst” has been my mantra since March, but I’m certainly open to some good, old-fashioned, opioid-induced naiveté.

Finally, I would bet my firstborn that many a liver have hardened substantially over the last year. Between teepee shortages, government-mandated quarantines and presidential shenanigans, most folks have been over-imbibing for quite awhile. I predict the next few weeks will be amateur hour, frankly, with nary a slurred “Merry Christmas” to be found. Pace yourself? More like, “Carry on.”

So, godspeed, friends, and remember to trust your training. I’ll see you on the other side. Peace out.

Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist. You may email her at info@youarecurrent.com.

“‘Expect the worst’ has been my mantra since March, but I’m certainly open to some good, old-fashioned, opioid-induced naiveté.”

Editor, I went to Walmart (recently) in a depressed mood because of all the unpleasant things happening in my country. After filling my shopping cart with some groceries and a bag of potting mix, I put them through the self-serve payment line and opened my purse to pay. I had forgotten to bring my billfold and asked the woman in charge if I could leave the purchase in the cart while I went home to get it.

A couple nearby who was paying for their groceries insisted that they wanted to pay for my purchase. I strongly refused their offer, but they insisted that they were going to pay for it.

I went out of the store rejoicing that no matter how discouraging the national news may be, there are still thoughtful, generous people in the country, and in this case, near Carmel.

Ruth Ann Gigax, Carmel

Sales for Candwich have been brisk through the years, the company reports, but not without some drawbacks. Prisons and airlines will not offer the product to their diners.

95% of our customers say they would refer us to family and friends.

My son Brett brings his lunch to work every day, avoiding dining in restaurants during the pandemic. I asked HUMOR him what he was eating, and his response was: Frozen peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (you defrost them before the meal). I bought a box out of curiosity, and now I’m hooked on the stupid things. I have to hide them in the downstairs freezer behind the Healthy Choice dinners. If my wife finds out what I have been paying for this rip-off, she may never microwave anything good for me again.

I also discovered another peanut butter innovation that has apparently been around for several years. It’s called a Candwich, a product name that was market-tested and produced the fewest number of people sticking their forefinger in their mouth and pretending to gag.

Instead of buying a ready-made peanut butter and jelly sandwich in a vending machine or purchasing the separate items in a supermarket to create your own masterpieces, all the stuff comes in a portable kit

for four times as much money. Consumers are unhappy that, like their new IKEA deck chair, some assembly is required. But there are no instructions included.

Inside the container is a hot dog-like bun in a cellophane wrapper, and one squeezable packet each of jelly and peanut butter.

Busy parents looking for an easy lunch for the kids applaud this meal-in-a-can, although some are concerned that their 6-year-olds might not be able to negotiate the pull-tab. “But I think they’ll figure it out,” said one mom, “and it will be a good learning experience to prepare them for when they start drinking beer.”

Americans are buying lunch sandwiches in sealed containers the same way they purchase Quaker State Motor Oil. It seems there is no limit to where this convenience may go with future product development.

Pizza in a Can and Christmas Dinner in a Can are both on the table — not that you need a table to enjoy the contents. Of course, when you ask consumers what food manufacturers should consider canning next, there’s a unanimous response: How about the entire concept?

Carmel considers riverfront districts to obtain more alcohol licenses

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com The Carmel City Council is considering the creation of four riverfront districts (including one near DEVELOPMENT Zionsville), a designation that allows for an unlimited number of alcohol permits within the districts’ boundaries.

At the Nov. 16 city council meeting, councilor Sue Finkam, who sponsored the ordinance outlining the new districts, said a challenge in attracting new restaurants in some areas has been the lack of available alcohol permits. State law distributes a limited number of alcohol permits based on population. Carmel received four additional permits from the state in 2016, but the final one was used in 2019.

Any business within a riverfront district may apply for an alcohol permit through the state’s Alcohol & Tobacco Commission, regardless of how many others are issued in Carmel.

“I think that would be good for economic development,” Finkam said.

The proposed districts are generally south of 146th Street west of the White River (Legacy River District), along North Range Line Road between Main Street and 146th Street (North Range Line Road River

District), south Range Line Road between 116th Street and Main Street (South Range Line Road River District) and along Michigan Road between 96th Street and Weston Pointe Drive (Crooked Creek River District).

Only the Legacy River District is along a river. The other districts are along smaller bodies of water, such as creeks. Other municipalities in the state have successfully created riverfront districts along these types of areas.

“It’s very clear small bodies of water qualify,” Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said.

In addition to being located near water, state law requires riverfront districts be located within an economic development or redevelopment area and that improvement projects in the area are funded at least in part with state and city funds.

Brainard said Indiana code governing alcohol permits is dated and that he’d like to see the legislature update the law to let the free market decide how many establishments selling alcohol should exist in a certain area.

“This is a regulation that’s been left over from the Prohibition era almost 100 years ago and needs to be removed,” Brainard said.

The council’s finance, utilities and rules committee will discuss the proposed ordinance at a future meeting. A date had not been announced as of press time.

Look for dividend-paying stocks — Dividend-paying stocks tend to hold up better than the overall market during volatile times and economic slowdowns. But many large-cap, blue-chip dividend payers such as McDonald’s and Procter & Gamble have already experienced big gains the past year, so they may not provide the downside protection you would expect. A better defensive strategy is to invest in dividend-paying medium-sized companies — those with stock market values between $2 billion and $10 billion. Their businesses are mature enough to pay reliable dividends but still have the ability to grow much faster than large companies.

What you need to know about Raynaud’s disease

Commentary by Dr. David Sullivan

Raynaud’s disease causes fingers and toes to feel icy or numb when you’re stressed or exposed PREVENTION to cold temperatures.

Symptoms occur when the small arteries that supply blood to your skin become narrow, reducing blood flow.

Anyone can develop Raynaud’s, but women are more likely to be affected. Your risk may increase if you live in a colder climate, like Indiana’s, or if you are a smoker. Having

a first-degree relative — a parent, sibling or child — having the disease may increase your risk.

With Raynaud’s syndrome, you may develop cold fingers or toes and changes in skin color when cold or stressed.

After warming up, you may experience numbness, prickly or stinging pain in your fingers or toes.

Raynaud’s attacks in stages. First, your toes usually turn white. Next, they often become blue and cold or numb. Finally, as you relax or warm up and your circulation

improves, your toes may turn red. Tingling, throbbing or even swelling may also set in.

Symptoms should improve with warming, but it can take as long as 15 minutes for your blood flow to return to normal after an attack.

Tissue damage or ulcers (open wounds) may develop if your blood flow is compromised for too long. In rare cases, untreated Raynaud’s can lead to foot or toe amputations. You should always get your feet checked after an attack.

To prevent Raynaud’s attacks always lay-

er up in cold weather. Wear hats, scarves, socks, boots and two pairs of gloves.

Chemical warmers may help keep your fingers and toes warm, but avoid direct contact with your skin.

Civic Theatre presents video performance of 2019 ‘Elf The Musical’ production

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Recalling her role as Jovie in “Elf The Musical” brings a smile to Emily Schaab’s face.

PERFORMANCE The Noblesville resident performed in Civic Theatre’s 2019 production.

“Playing Jovie was a dream,” Schaab said. “I felt connected to her, and the role was so fun. And honestly, the best part of playing Jovie was being able to do so alongside the rest of the amazing cast.”

The successful run was slated to be repeated this month, but a live production is not possible amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The show will be available Dec. 4 through Dec. 26. After the Dec. 4 opening, there will be streamed shows at 7 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.

The production, which was video recorded in December 2019, will be available as a streaming and on-demand experience. The show is based on the 2003 movie starring Will Ferrell as Buddy.

This was Schaab’s first lead role in a Civic Theatre production. Schaab previously performed in “Newsies” and “Mamma Mia!” “I can’t say enough good things about my experience,” she said. “Every single person in the cast, staff, crew and orchestra worked seamlessly together, and I think we created something really special.

During rehearsals, I felt challenged and supported by my castmates. Throughout the run of the show, I was able to form relationships that I am so grateful for.

“It really was the most positive experience from top to bottom.”

Originally, the cast was supposed to perform “Elf” again live this winter.

“I would love nothing more than to step back into the crazy, hilarious and jingly world of Jovie and Buddy,” Schaab said. “It would be an honor to play the role again.”

Like most performers, Schaab has found it difficult not being able to perform since

the pandemic hit in mid-March and shows have been shut down.

“Honestly, it feels like being homesick,” she said. “Something that was such a big part of my life was suddenly taken away.

I have truly grieved alongside my friends and loved ones who have been unable to perform and create, especially those whose livelihoods depend on the theater.

It is really heartbreaking.”

Westfield resident Matt Bays portrayed Buddy, and Indianapolis resident Parrish Williams played Santa in the 2019 production.

There will be pre-recorded interview segments with performers from the 2019 shows.

When viewers purchase access to “Elf,” they will be provided with their own unique code to access either the scheduled stream or the on-demand experience.

On Dec. 12, Civic Theatre will present a live virtual performance of its holiday variety show, “Holiday Lights,” a celebration of the holiday season. “Holiday Lights” will feature many familiar local performers bringing holiday cheer through song and dance. Customers can purchase a link for either the livestream at 7 p.m. Dec. 12 or can get a link for an on-demand version that will be available from Dec. 13 until Jan. 1, 2021.

For more, visit civictheatre.org.

Actors Theatre of Indiana, Hamilton County’s only professional Actors’ Equity Association theater company, will partner in a groundbreaking theatrical production of “A Christmas Carol” this holiday season. In conjunction with TBD Pictures and Broadway Producer Hunter Arnold, ATI will present a pay-per-view airing of the Charles Dickens classic.

“We are the exclusive central Indiana partner helping to distribute ‘A Christmas Carol’ to our patrons and the Indiana audiences,” ATI co-founder Don Farrell said. “We gain approximately $20 of every ticket sold.

It’s a great way to see an amazing production while also supporting Actors Theatre of Indiana during this difficult pandemic.”

The production will be available for on-demand streaming through Jan. 3, 2021.

Tickets are $50 per household and will be available at ATIstage.org.

2. A new wet bar featuring indigo cabinetry and a Carrera marble countertop provides an entertaining space for adults.

3. An electric fireplace was added in the TV/living area to provide warmth and ambience. Framed in stacked wood veneer, it features a mantle that mimics the design of the floating shelves above the bar.

Capitals, capitols and togas Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt Great job, you voted! You exercised your right as a non-felonious adult American citizen to democratically elect the people who will represent GRAMMAR GUY us in our state and federal governments for the next few years. Even if the dust hasn’t completely settled yet in the elderly man popularity contest known as this year’s presidential election, you at least want to sound smart when you’re talking and/or writing about this year’s contest.

Here are some tips on how to sound like a regular Doris Kearns Goodwin while chatting about politics.

First, do you know where we get the word “candidate?” Yes! It comes from Latin, and its origins are downright fascinating. In Ancient Rome, togas were the tuxedo of their day, and people running for the Roman Senate wanted to stand out from the crowd. To become more visible, the political hopefuls would rub shimmering white chalk on their togas, which were known as “toga candidas” (white togas). A person wearing the toga

Ready to Transform Your Home?

candida became known as a “candidatus.”

Perhaps Joe Biden’s Crest 3-D Whitestrips contain this same hidden ingredient: glittery white chalk.

Did you know that The Associated Press Stylebook dictates that the terms “first lady” and “first gentleman” are not to be capitalized? They’re not official titles and governors’ and mayors’ spouses also are referred to by the same titles.

Whether you’re voting someone into the capital (of your state) or the capitol (of the United States), it’s good to know when to capitalize the titles of the people involved.

Oh, and by the way, only capitalize “capitol” when you’re referring to the building in Washington, D.C., or the record label (Capitol Records). And if neither of the two primary parties suits your interests, perhaps you should let your hair down and throw a party. That’s a capital idea!

Ortaköy Mosque in Istanbul, Turkey. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Istanbul’s Riverfront Mosque Commentary by Don Knebel Istanbul, Turkey, is home to more than 3,000 mosques, some of which, including the Blue Mosque and Hagia TRAVEL Sophia, are internationally famous. The little known Ortaköy Mosque is among the most photographed.

Istanbul lies on both sides of the Bosporus River that divides Europe from Asia.

Ortaköy, now an Istanbul neighborhood, was originally a small village along the European bank of the Bosporus. ating from the Byzantine era, the village was predominately Christian until the 16th century, when Ottoman Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent encouraged Muslim Turks to settle there.

Ortaköy’s Muslim residents built a small mosque on the riverbank in 1720, only to see it destroyed 11 years later during an insurgency. In 1839, Abdulmejid I became sultan and ordered construction of a new mosque near the site of the original one. To design the mosque, he hired Armenian architects who had designed many buildings for Ottoman rulers. Construction of the mosque began in 1854 and was completed two years

later. The Ortaköy Mosque, officially the Grand Imperial Mosque of Sultan Abdulmejid, reflects the neo-Baroque style and sits on a jetty extending into the river. The small mosque has a single dome, two minarets and bay windows providing natural light to the interior. The mosque, like others from the period, includes both a space for worship and a summer residence for the sultan.

In 1970, Turkey began construction of a suspension bridge across the Bosporus to connect the European and Asian parts of Istanbul. The European side of the bridge, completed in 1973, is anchored in Ortaköy, north of the mosque. Boats taking visitors to Istanbul along the Bosporus cruise close to the Ortaköy Mosque, providing a magnificent view of both the mosque and the bridge. Today, Ortaköy is a fashionable neighborhood, attracting visitors to its shops and restaurants.
