Carmel’s history on canvas

By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com

At the Second Saturday Gallery Walk June 8, the work of artist Julie Joy-Houck will be featured at the World’s Smallest Children’s Art Galdiversion lery. Joy-Houck will be presenting artwork with an unusually local twist – a series of paintings representing various Carmel landmarks and attractions, including Carmel City Hall, The Palladium, the Arts & Design District, the Monon Greenway, the Japanese Style Garden and the Flowing Well.

The series was not planned, but grew out of JoyLouck’s passion for nature and landscapes. She is a devotee of “plein air” painting, which is a French term meaning open air. While sitting on the lawn of City Hall eight years ago, she created a lovely rendering of City Hall which caught the attention of Mayor Jim Brainard.

Brainard bought the painting for his home and JoyHouck continued to paint Carmel landmarks.

She now is working with the mayor’s office, turning the series into greeting cards which she believes can actively help promote tourism in Hamilton County. She also hopes to work in conjunction with the Hamilton County Convention and Visitor’s Bureau to use her art to promote Carmel, and she has more pieces featuring notable Carmel locations in the works.

A 15-year Carmel resident, Joy-Houck is passionate about the city and has studied its history extensively, as far back as the time it was called Bethlehem.

For research, she has relied heavily on the book “The Heritage of Carmel” by Phil Henshaw.

Both of her children work at Cool Creek Park, and she visits daily, continuing to look for inspiration in nature. Her style is evolving from Impressionism to abstract, but as she explores and grows as an artist, she is frank about the business end of the arts.

“You have to get creative about marketing your art– you have to be creative in art and in business,” she said.

She is proving that point by turning J. Razzo’s restaurant on Meridian Street into a gallery where her work can be displayed. “They needed carefully placed art work to enhance their ambiance, and I needed a place to display my work. It’s a win-win situation.”

Participants in the Gallery Walk’s scavenger hunt will receive one of her Carmel greeting cards and Joy-Houck has donated a print for a prize. The Second Saturday Gallery Walk is sponsored by IU Health

There are things about the old-fangled way that he misses – meeting the students face to face, getting their immediate feedback, the lively give-and-take of a good classroom discussion.

Columnist Bob Walters writes that the world doesn’t seem like a very consistent place, judgmentwise. “It may or may not signal lack of faith, but it surely signals lack of biblical understanding. The Bible pleads with us to use our judgment to seek God’s truth all the time,” Walters writes.

At press time, police still did not know for certain the identification of human remains found on a farm in the southeastern corner of Montgomery County, and they crime weren’t releasing any further details except to say that the remains were discovered in connection with a 1996 Hamilton County homicide investigation in which John Smith was arrested and convicted without the recovery of a body.

On May 28, while acting on information received about the 1996 homicide, the Hamilton County and Montgomery County sheriff’s offices, the Indiana State Police and Montgomery County Coroner’s Office executed a search warrant at the farm and discovered the remains. An autopsy was performed May 29 in Terre Haute but the procedure was unable to identify the victim.

Dental records and DNA will now be used to try to establish a positive ID, but officials don’t know how long that process will take.

Smith was found guilty of murdering Carmel resident Ennis Craig Roberts in October 2000

after Roberts disappeared in November 1996, according to court documents. Smith, who was Roberts’ employee, was sentenced to a 95-year prison sentence for the murder and for stealing Roberts’ vehicle, using his credit cards and forging his checks.

Law enforcement was assisted by the Forensic Anthropology Dept. of the University of Indianapolis as well as the Crawfordsville and Ladoga fire departments and an internal affairs investigator for the Indiana Dept. of Correction.

In another death investigation case, Carmel police still have not announced the identification of a female body found May 23 inside a self-storage rental unit at Public Storage, 1099 N. Range Lane Rd. Employees found the body inside a car that was parked inside a storage unit when they entered the unit to inspect its contents for auction.

Police do not suspect foul play but cannot determine a cause of death until they have the autopsy results, which had not been announced as of press time. The woman appeared to be in her 30s and was suspected to have been deceased for many weeks when she was found, according to police.

Monon connection complete

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Bicyclists and pedestrians now have a safer trip across 146th Street as the Monon Bridge is completed and open. development The Monon Bridge project is a partnership between Westfield, Hamilton County, Carmel/ Clay Board of Parks and Recreation and Clay Township. The Hamilton County Highway Dept. was the lead agency in designing and obtaining federal funding for the five-span, pre-engineered steel truss bridge to connect the Monon Greenway from Carmel to Westfield over and across 146th Street.

“The completion of the bridge not only provides a safe crossing across a very busy thoroughfare, but also builds on Westfield’s goal of creating trail connectivity throughout the city and Hamilton County. The bridge is a great example of local government entities partnering together to provide a valuable resource for residents,” Mayor Andy Cook said of the opening.

Cook said the bridge structure spans nearly 800 feet with a 12-foot-wide path to provide safe crossing for users and will include heating elements.

According to the agreement, the county will be responsible for all structural maintenance of the bridge. The Clay Township trustee and/or the park board will be responsible for paying the electric charges necessary to heat the bridge, maintaining

the heating system and periodic removal of snow, trash and other debris from the bridge.

Officials said it cost $3.37 million to complete the project. Cook said the bridge was a Federal Aid project utilizing Indianapolis Metropolitan Plannign Organization funds to cover approximately 80 percent of the utility relocation, construction and construction inspection costs. The remaining 20 percent and all of the design costs were locally funded.

Construction on the project began in August 2012 but weather delayed the earlier completion of the project.

Teacher association appeals report

By Nina Johnson • news@currentincarmel.com On the May 30 deadline, the Carmel Clay Education Association formally appealed a recommendation that found school education officials did not violate the National Labor Relations Act when dealing with recent contract negotiaions.

In early May, at a two-day hearing, examiner Bernard L. Pylitt heard both sides of the argument, which stems from an 11-page complaint the Carmel Clay Education Association filed with the Indiana Education Employment Relations Board against the district late last year.

At issue are several e-mails and statements from school board members Greg Phillips and Andrew Klein, and Supt. Jeff Swensson. In his email, Swensson instructs Carmel Clay principals and administrators to read the attached contract information and share it with the teachers, which many did.

As a result of the district’s actions, the complaint reads, several teachers put pressure on the contract negotiators to either accept or vote on the school district’s best offer.

According to the petition, the union seeks to not only stop all further communications with teachers regarding the negotiation, but also for the district’s last contract offer to the union to be rejected and the union’s final offer be accepted.

But Pylitt recommended to the IEERB that he concluded school officials did not violate

the National Labor Relations Act when they publicly discussed or sent an e-mail to teachers about collective bargaining during contract negotiations.

The IEERB will base its official ruling on Pylitt’s report.

“School employers are permitted to communicate with members of the public, including teachers, about areas of public concern such as collective bargaining,” Pylitt said.

“The board simply wanted to make sure that we provided accurate information to the public regarding the state of collective bargaining at that point in time,” former school board vice president Andrew Klein testified .

The report also includes further testimony from Klein that said he “was certainly concerned that we do nothing that would constitute a bypass.”

The Association maintains the board committed unfair labor practices and states on its website, “(We) will continue to pursue this case through all legal channels. At the same time, (we) will remain open to further negotiations with Carmel Clay Schools.”

Swensson emphasized the administration’s efforts for productive communication with district educators.

“Looking forward, it’s the school district’s intent to continue to engage in meaningful discussion and a constructive negotiation process,” Swensson said.

Five Prairie Trace parents addressed the school board at its May 20 meeting to express concerns about student education conflicts that increased police visits to the elementary school this spring.

Parents receive e-mail alerts when a police officer is called to the school to assist with student conflicts. Thirteen officer visits to Prairie Trace occurred from February to May. One parent pointed out that another local elementary had only two visits in the same period.

Carmel Clay Community Relations Coordinator Tricia Reynolds explained comparisons are misleading. Local elementary schools usually request assistance from the nearest middle school resource officer and those calls do not appear in public records as police visits.

“When a school resource officer cannot respond to a school immediately, the school is always encouraged to request assistance from our friends at the police department,” Reynolds said.

The parents, who later asked not to be identified by Current, described student meltdowns witnessed in the wing that serves the emotional disability program as well as the school’s kindergarteners. The parents requested the ED program be relocated to an area closer to staff offices.

They said this relocation would ensure faster staff

response, reduce class disturbance and maintain the dignity of the students being disciplined.

Each parent emphasized they were not requesting the removal of the program, and they requested more information about how student conflicts are handled.

Reynolds explained the schools have a partnership with the Carmel Police Dept.

“We encourage our school administrators to reach out for assistance and to be proactive in ensuring a safe environment no matter how insignificant the concern may be,” Reynolds said.

Federal law protects student confidentiality regarding police calls. The e-mail alerts omit all student information including the actions that spurred the call.

Reynolds pointed out nothing indicates the police assistance involved students in the program.

Reynolds could not reveal whether calls involved separate student incidents or one recurring student’s struggles.

“We need better communication, more information,” another parent said. One parent suggested the alerts escalate fear because they do not clarify whether an incident involved behavior or assault issues.

“We would like the community to know that we are a public institution that happily educates all the children of Carmel,” Reynolds said. “We work diligently to provide a safe environment for every single child and staff member. Safety is our number one priority.”

Great Harvest Bread Co. closes

Why Claghorn Custom Flooring?

By Robert Annis • rob@youarecurrent.com

Days after shuttering the restaurant, the owner of the Great Harvest Bread Co. blamed the economy and Carmel Farmers Market business head Ron Carter for its demise.

The restaurant’s owners, Jerry and Janet Lecy, closed the store Memorial Day weekend after a history of sluggish sales. The restaurant, which was in the Providence Shoppes strip mall in the 12000 block of Old Meridian Street, was faced with stiff competition from other eateries within a short distance.

Local resident Debra Wagner said the store was always busy when she visited, typically in the mornings before work.

“I didn’t notice anything about them closing,” Wagner said. “I thought the location was good for them – it’s definitely busy with lots of foot and car traffic.”

Employees had no idea the store was closing, Jerry Lecy said, adding each “was taken care of.”

He didn’t elaborate on their severance.

Jerry Lecy said he’d hoped to secure vendor space at the Carmel Farmers Market to further integrate the business into the community.

“It made a huge difference (in sales) with our Lafayette store,” he said. “Our products line up perfectly with the farmers market – wholesome ingredients, made from scratch each morning.”

For two years, Lecy said he tried to secure space at the Carmel Farmers Market, telling Carter in a series of e-mails that being in the market was “important for the future of his business.”

Carter, who also serves on Carmel’s City Council, expressed sorrow for the restaurant’s closing, but stood by his decision.

“We turned down 37 vendors for the farmers market this year,” Carter said. “We’re looking for vendors who are just starting out, and, as a rule,

we don’t allow franchises, particularly ones that offer their products at (a nearby supermarket).

People can pick up their bread at Meijer any day of the week.

“I’m sorry for him, but I don’t agree we caused him to go out of business. If the future of his business hinges on being at the farmers market, there are obviously other problems there.”

Carter said Lecy wasn’t the first Great Harvest Bread Co. franchise that tried to secure space at the market. Another franchise owner considering a move to Carmel attempted to gain vendor space more than two years ago; like Lecy, he also was turned down.

With the Carmel location closed, the Lecys plan to focus solely on their Lafayette location.

Detour hopes to host outdoor July 4th party

ARTICHOKE DESIGNS 587.7411 301 E. Carmel Dr

Detour - An American Grille has made a request of the City of Carmel to hold an outdoor party on July 4th. The party would include live music, which has raised issues in the past.

Mark Schaefer is the new general manager of Detour. He has been in the role for two months, having previously worked at Kincaids at Clay Terrace and Mo’s Irish Pub in Noblesville.

“The previous problems occurred before my time here,” Schaefer said. “I’m just trying to get caught up on the situation and help make sure that we

head off future problems before they occur. Jeremiah (Hamman, Detour co-owner) is working with the city to ensure that the noise ordinance is not violated. We have a plan. But, we really want to do this party in conjunction with Carmel Fest. We’re just trying to be good neighbors and also help bring people to downtown Carmel.”

The Board of Public Works meeting, which is open to the public, will be on June 5 at 10 a.m.

Detour’s request, for both a street closure between the restaurant and the Monon Trail and for permission to allow live music, will be considered at that time.

Wilting West Clay?

Is the struggling business district about to see a revival?

By Robert Annis • rob@youarecurrent.com It’s a warm summer day, and the Village of West Clay is brimming with activity.

Workers are laying sod cover story and building dozens of new homes and condos. In the parks, dogs are leading their owners across the thick, deep-green grass.

But in the village’s business district, it feels more like a ghost town. The Harvest Fresh Market is closed, as is Pamfilio’s Italian Restaurant.

Seemingly every other window in the retail area has a For Lease sign. A few stray businesses remain open – a gym, an animal hospital and an investment firm, among them – but a visitor might expect to see a stray tumbleweed blow across the road.

“I live in the village, but have absolutely no clue why (much of) the retail portion of the village is struggling,” said resident Larry Stevens.

“The dry cleaner seems to be doing well, and CVS appears to be thriving. … The loss of the restaurants is more puzzling. They appeared to be busy.”

A call to Pamfilio’s former owner Mark Palombaro wasn’t returned by press time.

Stevens said he was disappointed, but not frustrated, that the lifestyle he and other residents were promised – basically a self-support-

ing small town with the amenities of a larger city – has not yet been fulfilled.

The Village of West Clay seems to have the demographics that any business would kill to be near; the affluent community is filled with growing families with plenty of disposable income. Stonegate in Zionsville was built around a similar concept and has had success with a much smaller commercial district. So why is the Village of West Clay unable to attract or keep businesses? Even local commercial real estate brokers are perplexed.

Judy Berthold, a sales and marketing professional for West Clay, admits the retail side has been somewhat slow to develop, but that’s changing as more people continue to move in on the residential side. In fact, she said, the

“

retail district would look much busier today if it weren’t for the legal problems of Charles Blackwelder and his family.

Blackwelder, his son Chad, and daughter Cara Grumme, owned three businesses in West Clay, including Harvest Fresh and CFS, their real estate investment firm. In February, the Indiana Secretary of State’s office accused the trio of securities fraud, alleging they bilked their mostly elderly investment clientele out of more than $10 million.

The state-appointed receiver in the case, Mary Slade, is in the process of liquidating the Blackwelders’ assets, including Harvest Fresh. Slade’s law partner, Pat Drewry, refused to comment on the case, but Berthold said Slade is currently weighing offers on Harvest Fresh and the Black-

The loss of the restaurants is more puzzling.

”

The Blackwelders’ legal problems The Blackwelders’ attorney, Mark Barnes, denies the state’s claims of securities fraud against his clients, saying the investments weren’t securities, but merely real estate investments that went bad with the economy.

“Chuck is an honest guy who had some financial trouble,” Barnes said. “What happened to him was the insolvency of his business, not securities fraud.”

Barnes couldn’t say specifically how many clients, mostly elderly, purchased the investments, but guessed it was “more than 10, but less than 100.” More than a dozen former clients have filed claims so far, ranging from $5,000 to nearly $240,000.

Mary Slade, the court-appointed receiver, has made nearly a dozen motions to Hamilton County Circuit Court Judge Paul Felix asking to sell various properties throughout the area.

A 9 a.m. hearing is scheduled for Hamilton County Circuit Court on June 6.

welders’ other West Clay properties.

“She’s already talking to two potential owners, one local and one national, to put a restaurant in that spot,” Berthold said. “They’re not waiting for the court case to be finalized to sell (the properties).”

Berthold said a host of major tenants are set to break ground in or near West Clay’s retail area in the coming months, including an Irish pub and a gas station/sandwich shop near the CVS that will echo the pharmacy’s art-deco architecture.

“We’re really excited about what’s happening,” Berthold said. “I don’t see the area as struggling at all.”

George Sweet, the developer behind many of these projects, also didn’t return a phone call seeking comment by press time.

FROM THE BACKSHOP Let the music play in Carmel

Blazing new trails It is our position that Conner Prairie Interactive History Park is blazing new trails with its focus on the customer.

The Fishers living-history museum is now featured as one of six “magnetic” museums in the new book, “Magnetic: The Art and Science of Engagement,” published May 2013 by AAM Press. The book highlights six institutions that the authors say have the “secret sauce” to drive their success as high-performing American museums.

Based on three years of research, the book, by authors Anne Bergeron and Beth Tuttle, concludes that Conner Prairie, along with the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh, Pa.; the Chrysler Museum of Art in Norfolk, Va.; The Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, Pa.; the Greensboro Science Center in Greensboro, N.C., and the Philbrook Museum of Art in Tulsa, Okla., attract the human, social and financial capital necessary to thrive rather than just survive.

Conner Prairie and the other five museums were identified by the authors through an analysis of quantitative performance metrics of a decade’s worth of data (2000 to 2010) from hundreds of U.S. institutions. The study found that these museums have become much more than simply keepers of cultural heritage or places of learning; they have also become vital players in the social, civic and economic vibrancy of their communities.

Must be present to win Commentary by Terry Anker Woody Allen is credited with saying that 90 percent of success is showing up. While one could argue the percentage, it is impossible to dispute that we must, in most of life, be present to win. Speaking on youth unemployment matters at a university in Eastern Europe, I found myself on the final panel of what had proven to be a long day of speakers. The room, once filled to capacity, was now spotted with open seats. And, even many of those that were filled found occupants texting, dozing or otherwise disengaged from the presentations flowing from a long line of pontificating academics and blowhard businessmen.

Certainly, we can criticize the lack of attention and take note of the irony of failing to understand that that being an active participant in one’s own job seeking is required if one hopes to achieve the desired outcome. It is not sufficient to show up at an interview. It is not enough to create a robust resume. It is not even adequate

to know one’s own strengths and weaknesses – and understand how to express them. One must be able to do these all actively and with intent. In fact today, just showing up is not enough.

But shouldn’t we also expect our speakers to engage with the audience in a way that is designed to capture attention and ensure a properly prepared and fertile mind in which to plant the ideas being communicated? While not advocating for some reality television style shock-fest, how could a little razzle dazzle hurt? Isn’t it a conceit to require the listener alone to carry the burden of successful communication? Both the person sending the idea and the person receiving it have to show up. And, they have to want to make the connection.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK When ambition ends, happiness begins.

- Thomas Merton

The summer concert season is upon us this week, and Carmel is fortunate to have two series. The city’s Summer Family Concert Series at the Gazebo lifts the curtain on its 20th season with a June 5, 7:30 p.m. performance by the Endless Summer Band. That show and those that follow run 75 minutes and are noadmission events. With the exception of July 3, the first day of CarmelFest, the Gazebo shows will run Wednesdays through Aug. 7. It is a great evening on the lawn, to which you are encouraged to bring lawn chairs, blankets and a picnic dinner. If there is rain (we really frown on that), concerts will be held in the Carmel Fire Dept. Station 41 just to the north. For more information, please visit www.CarmelGazeboConcerts.org. The Carmel Fountain Square Committee, a non-profit volunteer organization, presents the shows. Meanwhile, to the north at Clay Terrace, the free Thursday Night Summer Concert series kicks off on June 6, when Barometer Soup plays a two-hour show on the Grassy Knoll at 7 p.m. The series runs through July 25, with the exception of July 4.

Lawn chairs, coolers and munchies welcomed!

A Smoky Row ‘thank you’

Editor, I am a first-grade teacher at Smoky Row Elementary. I was recently diagnosed with SCA3 – Spinocerebellar Ataxia type 3. I cannot say enough how the Smoky Row Staff, PTO, current and past parents, Carmel Middle School Staff, Carmel Middle School seventh-grade softball team and parents have all come together and have given me the most they could offer.

My family and I have been overwhelmed with gracious gift cards, numerous blessings, flowers, food, offers to help us when the time is needed

and numerous other things!

I would like to send out a special “Thank You” to all. Smoky Row is a Blue Ribbon School and Carmel is the best place to call home because they are both like a BIG family!

We have no idea what to expect next with this dreadful disease, but we now can say we were blessed by having all the Carmel angels in our lives!

Hugs to all!

Detour and city should make amends Editor, I just read the cover story on Current In Carmel on Detour restaurant talking about closing and what’s been going on. If any of you readers have read my articles, you can see I have not been happy with how the city does events and caters to outside merchants while the local merchants get put on the back burner and have lost income.

These events still happen even though we “complain.” But we expect it now because that’s what the District was built for. This is a business district, and I would think people moving in would know it might be a little noisy sometimes.

I always cracked up laughing when I heard the people who moved into the neighborhood by the Indiana Gun Club complain about gun fire.

If this was a constant, I would be upset, but not to expect noise down here on a weekend

is a little silly. I feel for the residents because I don’t like noise either at certain times, but the city and Detour should come to an agreement on a couple events. They were asked to move here, and I’m sure the city knew they wanted to do outdoor entertainment. Detour brings more business here than any of the galleries, and I’m sorry – that’s not a shot at the galleries, but I have been on this street 12 years and watch what happens.

This, “We don’t want it like Broad Ripple” attitude is not worth entertaining because if the riff raff ever shows up in Carmel starting trouble, I am confident the Carmel Police will take care of it. If Detour goes, it will be even more of an empty district and might make people think we are failing here.

We commend Sen. Kenley Editor, As President and CEO of the Indiana Manufacturers Association, I want to express our appreciation for the pro-manufacturing legislation supported by your state senator, Luke Kenley (R-Noblesville), during this most recent session of the Indiana General Assembly. Specifically, Sen. Kenley served as primary sponsor of House Enrolled Act 1001-2013, Biennial Budget.

There are five key provisions in the $30-billion state budget most helpful to manufacturers: • The retroactive repeal of the state inheritance tax will save taxpayers about $180 million during the next two years.

• The phased-in reduction of the individual

adjusted gross income tax rate from 3.4 percent to 3.23 percent will benefit manufacturers organized as pass-through entities.

• The state will maintain a structural surplus each year and a total combined reserve balance of about $1.8 billion.

Indiana has the highest share of manufacturing as a percentage of private industry Gross State Product in the U.S. (29.7%), and the highest percentage of the workforce employed in manufacturing (16.4%). Legislation that is good for Hoosier manufacturers benefits the overall Indiana economy.

We commend Sen. Kenley for his leadership and support of pro-manufacturing legislation.

Patrick J. Kiely, President & Chief Executive

Another good thing Editor, My wife and I really enjoyed your recent article about Aaron O’Connell. We were formerly neighbors of him and his family. The first time I met Aaron was when I came home after a big snowstorm (and was dreading the chore of shoveling our then long driveway). To my surprise, a young

man who turned out to be Aaron had already cleaned off the entire driveway and would not take anything for doing so. He said that he wanted to do a good deed each week, as encouraged by his school. Great person and wonderful family!

Best wishes, Aaron!

Watch out Africa, here I come Commentary by Danielle Wilson

I’m starting to panic, people. On the day many of you read this, I will be headed to North Africa or possibly already there. humor As I type though, I still have two weeks before Doo and I leave our kids, semi-trained dog, and slightly neglected house for 15 days of desert adventure and exotic-food fun. Yikes! In the words of Willy Wonka, “So much time, so little to do! Strike that. Reverse it.”

For starters, we’re considering updating our will, which has remained untouched since 1999 when we abandoned our firstborn for fruity cocktails and Bahamian sun. As his guardian, we appointed the only sibling we had out of nine who was married at the time, and left the rest to the lawyer. Since then, we’ve added three more offspring, and the aforementioned sibling now has seven children of his own. What are the odds he’d like four more? Exactly. Problem is, it’s doubtful anyone else would be willing to take them on either, should we perish in a fiery explosion or airline disaster. So, we’re leaving things status quo. Uncle Todd already has a 12-passenger conversion van; let’s max that baby out!

Next on my list is to organize a first aid/field medicine kit. Doo and I received our requisite inoculations for tetanus, hepatitis and typhoid (because, according to our doctor, “The world is covered in a layer of poo; it’s just thicker in

some areas.”) but I still need to round up pills for everything from constipation and diarrhea to vomiting and indigestion (both ends of the spectrum so to speak!). Non-Spongebob bandaids and military-grade insect repellant would be good, and I should probably take Benadryl, Sudafed and Robitussin to cover the cold I’ll catch on the plane. Bring it on, malaria!

Finally, I need to sort out the house and the kids’ schedules for the two sets of grandparents who graciously agreed to babysit. Unfortunately, Doo and I are the type of people who throw parties just so the dusting and scrubbing gets done, which is to say our home is generally in a state of sanitary neglect. But, my parents will actually be staying here, so at some point, I need to bath everything, children included, in Clorox. Once that’s taken care of, and the fridge and pantry are stocked for the apocalypse, then all I have to do is organize carpool for soccer, dance, tumbling, swimming and summer-school PE; post the dog and cat-care schedules in fifteen convenient locations; pre-coordinate playdates and birthday parties; and oh yeah, pack.

Farewell, dear readers! Until I write again, bid me serenity. Peace out.

Fishers-based electronica band gaining ground

By Dan Domsic • Dan@youarecurrent.com

The Sweetest Condition, a Fishers-based electronica band, debuted its EP, “Truth & Light,” on April 30. Current caught up with Leslie Irene Benson, vocals and lyrics, and Jason music Reed Milner, keys and guitar, for an update on the local act’s progress and to talk about the EP. As of May 28, The Sweetest Condition sat at the No. 1 spot on Reverbnation.com’s Local (Indianapolis) Electronica Genre charts, No. 39 on the U.S. Electronica charts and No. 99 on the global charts in the same category. Before forming The Sweetest Condition, Benson and Milner formed the band Irene and Reed. You can find the EP on iTunes, Amazon.com, CD Baby and Google Play. Check the tunes out on www.thesweetestcondition.com.

Current: Jason says the aim of the band and EP is to bring guts back to music.

Which track off of “Truth and Light” best exemplifies that mantra?

Jason Reed Milner: “With ‘You Don’t Know Me,’ I wanted to bring back that feeling I first got when I listened to albums like ‘Pretty Hate Machine’ by Nine Inch Nails – that raw nerve and aggression, without holding anything back.

The electronic/industrial sounds are abrasive, yet complex, incorporating an overwhelming fullness utilizing a synthesized orchestral tone.

I introduced an overdriven guitar sound to the song to give it ‘meat’ – an edge you don’t often hear these days. I wish the radio was like it was back in the early 1990s, when you’d listen to it to discover new music. Now the radio is the last place you’ll find new music.”

Current: The Sweetest Condition climbed the charts on ReverbNation.com. What has the experience been like?

Jason Reed Milner: “What really matters to me more than anything rather than numbers on a website – (the true measurement of the impact of music) – is how many people go away excited to see you perform again and how it makes them feel. Seeing people get involved, get engaged with our music, and having them tell us directly how it makes them feel means more to us than anything else.”

Leslie Irene Benson: “We’re cutting through the ‘noise’ and getting in front of more people.

The music allows us to connect with our fans on a personal level as artists and human beings.”

Current: Has it been challenging to break through on the local level?

Leslie Irene Benson: “The scene in Indy has been growing in recent years, and there is amazing music being created and performed here every day. The local scene has been very supportive in getting the word out, especially online via social media.”

Leslie Irene Benson and Jason Reed Milner of The Sweetest Condition. (Photo by Paul F.P. Pogue)

Current: Is The Sweetest Condition still working away at the full-length album “Struggle, Strength, Reclamation?”

Leslie Irene Benson: “After our last interview with you, we played our first show at the White Rabbit and had a break-through. We realized as much as we wanted to merge what had been our first music project, Irene & Reed (dark-tinged Americana/indie rock) with this new project we were calling The Sweetest Condition, it had become its own entity. The electronic music we were writing as The Sweetest Condition felt more intense, more driven, and more necessary. As much as people grow and change, so do bands. So we split The Sweetest Condition and Irene & Reed into two separate music projects, giving us the opportunity to focus solely on this new sound.

We decided to temporarily shelve ‘Struggle, Strength, Reclamation,’ which we will release at a later date as Irene & Reed, and we instead wrote 15 new songs as The Sweetest Condition. Our ‘Truth and Light’ EP features five of these new tracks, all available on iTunes, Amazon.com, CD Baby, and other digital music stores. Where ‘Truth and Light’ is inspired by a dark ‘80s electronic soundscape, our upcoming full-length album, which we are currently fine-tuning, will be infused with synthpop and EDM (electronic dance music).”

Current: “Truth and Light” features the track “The Ghost & the Girl,” based on a poem about the loss of a friend. Was expressing your thoughts through music therapeutic?

Leslie Irene Benson: “Shortly after we started The Sweetest Condition, I lost a very dear friend. From a lyrical standpoint, writing ‘Truth

and Light’ through the grieving process gave me a new voice and a new chance. I am more willing now than ever to fight for my dreams, my friends and my family.”

Current: The EP is pretty heavy. Does it take a different kind of mindset to write this type of music?

Jason Reed Milner: “There’s a lot of audio sculpting involved. Each sound must be created from scratch. The songs are orchestral compositions in their own right. They’re audible representations of emotions. ... I started off writing electronic music, so the process comes naturally.”

Current: If each of you could pick one favorite track off of the EP, what would your picks be and why?

Jason Reed Milner: “’The Wound’ builds with emotion into a holy deliverance. It’s a mix of organic and digital sounding synths.”

Leslie Irene Benson: “I’ve been told by fans that ‘The Wound’ is the song they play on ‘repeat.’ It’s a little sinister, a little seductive. When I wrote the vocal melody, I channeled David Gahan. The song has a cinematic undertone.”

Current: Of your muses, which is the most evident on “Truth and Light?”

Leslie Irene Benson: “Our muses for ‘Truth and Light’ were the songwriters David Gahan, Martin Gore, and Trent Reznor. ... Our upcoming full-length album, which we’re working on now, lends itself to other inspirations, including The Birthday Massacre, Shiny Toy Guns, and Ladytron.”

Current: What’s next for The Sweetest Condition?

Jason Reed Milner: “We’re finishing our fulllength album and gearing up for our first tour.”

Classic summer fare

Two summer dishes, gelato and ribs, will work well for any warm-weather day.

Maple Glazed Ribs

Ingredients: 3 pounds baby back pork ribs, 3/4 cup maple syrup, 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar, 2 tablespoons ketchup, 1 tablespoon cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder Directions: Put the ribs in a large pot, and cover them with water. Cover the pot, and let it simmer for one hour or until the meat is tender. Drain the pot, and transfer the ribs to a shallow dish.

Stir together maple syrup, brown sugar, ketchup, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, salt

and mustard powder in a small saucepan. Bring to a low boil, and cook for five minutes, stirring frequently. Cool slightly, then pour over ribs, and marinate them in the refrigerator for two hours.

Prepare grill for cooking with indirect heat, and remove the ribs from marinade. Transfer the marinade to a small saucepan, and boil for several minutes.

Lightly oil the grate. Cook the ribs for about 20 minutes, basting them with the cooked marinade frequently, until nicely glazed. This recipe makes six servings. www.allrecipes.com,

Head for the Cure June 8

By Colleen Peregrin • news@currentincarmel.com On June 8, the ninth annual Head for the Cure 5K walk/run will be held at West Park in Carmel.

The run was initially organized by the Sapper family to honor their deCANCER WALK ceased father who died in March of 2004.

“It originally started as my sister’s idea,” said Michael Sapper, son of Theodore Sapper, for whom the race is run. “It’s evolved into the biggest brain tumor event in the state.”

The run raises awareness as well as funds for the American Brain Tumor Association. The group has donated $191,350 throughout the past nine years, due to the generosity of many sponsors.

The race is not only to raise money, though. It becomes a kind of support group for people who have survived brain tumors.

“Every year, there’s new stories and a new thing to hear about, and that’s why I want to keep having it,” Sapper said.

The run is filled with people who are passionate about brain tumor research or who have lost someone to a brain tumor.

“Last year, there was a friend of mine whom I used to work with years ago who came down with a brain tumor and a big team of maybe 60 people, called Team Dave came down and celebrated his treatment,” Sapper said. “He passed away last year, so now his daughters are bringing another team out to celebrate his memory.”

From left, Natalie, Sema, Michael and Paul Sapper, the wife and children of Theodore Sapper, in whose honor the race is held every year. (Submitted photo)

The money that is donated goes completely to research, not awareness-raising, not administrative expenses. The funds go directly to research on brain tumors and different cures for them.

Registration for the race is still available online at www.braincure.org, as well as other information about previous races. Sponsor registration is also still available if you are unable to make it to the run or participate. The group also accepts in-kind donations such as water bottles or food because every donation like that reduces the amount of funds they have to spend putting on the event and maximizes the check they can write to the American Brain Tumor Association.

Carry enough liability insurance Commentary by Jamie Ianigro

Question from Amelia P. from Fishers: I saw someone take a spill at my daughter’s graduation party last weekend.

Insurance They were OK, but it got me worried about what I would be on the hook for if they were seriously injured.

What’s the best approach to protect my family from this issue?

Response from Jamie Ianigro: Thanks for your note Amelia. What you are asking about is a liability issue. If someone is injured on your property, you would be liable. Best case scenario is a minor injury that is easily remedied. The worst case scenario is a death or major injury that requires specialized care for the rest of that person’s life. You would be liable for the cost regardless of which scenario you end up with.

Luckily for most, a homeowner’s (or renter’s) insurance policy provides liability coverage to protect you from scenarios just like the above.

Is the amount of coverage that is automatically included in your policy enough, though? That is a question that I highly recommend posing to your independent insurance agent, but my approach is that it is not.

We like to look at the coverage options available as adequate, good, and best. “adequate” coverage is what you automatically get with any policy. The department of insurance has your back and won’t let sneaky agents drop cover-

ages like this to manipulate the total cost of the policy. This means, at worst, you have adequate coverage when you buy a homeowner’s or renter’s policy. People stick with adequate coverage because they’re not afraid of the added risk, they don’t know about the added risk, or protecting their assets from that added risk is not worth the small added cost of increased liability limits.

The “good” coverage is the baseline of what I would recommend to any person I speak to. You get increased liability protection and pay a small increase to the price of the policy. However, a $1,000,000 liability claim is painful with low limits and can still hurt with $500,000 to $750,000 liability limits. That’s why I always inform people about the “best” coverage option.

The “best” coverage option is liability from your homeowner’s policy covering the first $500,000 (varies depending on the carrier) of a loss and an umbrella policy stepping in to cover the remaining $500,000. You can get an umbrella policy in pretty much any amount you can imagine, but $1,000,000 is a great place to start. It also costs much less than you might imagine. I highly recommend discussing this further with your independent insurance agent.

AUSTISM CLINIC OF INDIANA New hope for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADD and ADHD

Highly Trained Medical Staff • Advanced Individualized Treatment Options • Most Major Medical Insurance Plans Accepted Genetic Consultation • Review of Medical records • Laboratory testing “While early intervention is critical, ASD Treatment Clinic taught us it is never too late with children on the Autism Spectrum. We have three teenage children on the spectrum with varying ranges of disabilities. With Genetic Consultants of Indiana, ASD Treatment Clinic we learned what was happening to our children from the inside out. I call it our roadmap. We found out what our children needed without guessing or trying experimental treatments.

Plus we loved that our major medical insurance was accepted.” - Bob & Sharon Smith, IN

“A child sneaks out of the house, runs away, is hyper, has minimal focus and can’t socialize with friends for more than a minute. That used to be our son, Jack.

• SOCIALIZATION: Why is my child having difficulty making friends?

• IMPULSIVENESS: Why doesn’t my child understand consequences of his/her actions?

• FOCUSING: Why does my child have problems paying attention in school and at home?

• HYPERACTIVITY: Why can’t my child sit still, and has trouble getting to sleep or staying asleep?

• ANGER: Why does my child display such anger and gets out of control with his/her emotions?

If you can relate to any of these questions there is help.

27

People think the answer to autism and ADHD are psychiatric medicines, but we knew that was only going to cover up his real symptoms. Despite this, we tried several mainstream treatments that produced little to no results. In the six months that Jack has been on the protocol through ASD Treatment Clinics, he has experienced much improvement with his focus, learning ability, behavior and overall wellbeing.

Early intervention is very important for children on the autism spectrum and we thank God that we were led to the ASD Treatment Clinic. Jack now has a treatment that we can trust will improve not only his life but the lives of our entire family.”

The fourth time’s another charm

By Mandi Cheesman • mandi@youarecurrent.com

For his fourth venture into the restaurant world, Carmel resident Sean Stoffel has added something a little different – now open beer and wine.

When he opened Jimmy Stix Pizzeria on May 6, Stoffel included the adult drinks on his menu, something his prior restaurants, Wise Guys in Fishers and two others in Florida, didn’t include.

But the new restaurant at 720 Adams St. does include the breadsticks that Stoffel is famous for, the Jimmy Stix.

“Everybody loved our breadsticks at Wise Guys, so I always sort of had it in the back of my mind to someday name a place after them,” Stoffel said.

After tossing around several name combos, he landed on the one that incorporated his father’s and brother’s name, Jimmy.

“It just sort of fit,” he said. “It had a nice ring to it.”

In addition to the famous breadsticks, the restaurant is known for its Jimmy deluxe pizza, its Greek salads, many subs and pasta dishes.

Jimmy Stix also differs from Wise Guys in another important way. Where Wise Guys was primarily a take-out venue, Jimmy Stix is a sit-down establishment.

“People like to go out, so this time I went a little bigger,” Stoffel said. “And, I wanted to be

St.Vincent restructures workforce Commentary by Chris Bavender

Changes in the healthcare industry will lead to staff reductions across St.Vincent Health’s 22-hospital system. The changes JOBS will take place before the end of this month.

“We are looking at all business transformation activities and cost saving options - not only staff reductions - but also administrative costs, supply costs, programs, etc.,” said Johnny Smith, spokesperson for St.Vincent Health. “This is a very deliberate process to ensure we take the necessary steps to ensure long term effectiveness for our health ministry.”

Smith said it is imperative St.Vincent takes proactive steps to ensure the organization remains viable and able to continue to serve communities across Indiana.

The number of employed and contracted associates the changes will affect is still unknown, according to Smith, including whether nurses and physicians will be among those cut.

“We are still in a discernment process and taking a very comprehensive viewpoint at all the costs,” he said. “We have a very deliberate timeline with milestones on that timeline that we

have to meet, so no number has been identified yet because this is a very deliberate process.”

The decision isn’t being made lightly, Smith added.

“We understand what makes a great hospital system is its people, and it’s our associates who truly care for patients and take steps to ensure quality of life,” he said.

“As we value each individual’s commitment and dedication to the Mission of St.Vincent Health, our thoughts and prayers are with all associates and their families during this time,” said Vincent C. Caponi, CEO of St.Vincent Health.

“We understand that other health systems are facing similar challenges and making difficult decisions as well. To sustain our health system’s service to patients and families across the state, we must re-imagine the way we provide holistic care – body, mind, and spirit.”

Smith emphasized the changes will not affect patient care.

“Any type of reductions we make will be in the best interest of the communities we serve,” Smith said. “We are looking at what is needed and making certain we don’t decrease the quality of care for patients and family because that is who we are here to serve.”

Rotary meeting – Rotary Club of Carmel will meet June 7 froom noon to 1:30 p.m., at the Mansion at Oak Hill, 5801 E. 116th St., Carmel. Susan Meskis, nursing educators vocational team leader to Aga Khan Campus in Tanzania, will be the guest speaker. Cost for lunch is $12. Contact Wendy Phillips for more infomration 501-4955.

Chance keeps you in the game Commentary by David Cain

It comes to the final play, the ending. While it’s that play that often draws the most criticism from amateur coaches on success everywhere, it’s usually not the final play that decided the game’s outcome. Whether you win or lose is less about the last minutes than it is the whole game and the entire game plan. Close games that are won or lost by tiny margins clearly had a game plan that worked. Outcomes of a game are more reliant on a series of choices and cumulative performance.

If you lost or won by a little bit, you were in the game and had a chance to win. And, you can’t win them all. You will lose sometimes. It’s what you do after the loss that matters most, how you rally.

Even if your work happens at an office and not on a court or field, you’ll be confronted with the same reality. You will lose sometimes. It’s statistically impossible to win all the time. What do you do when you lose? How do you regroup, rally and Buffett buffet – What are some solid long-term stock choices favored by mega-invester Warren Buffett? Try Nike, Inc.; Burlington dispatches Northern Santa Fe Corp.; ConocoPhillips; Costco; Coca-Cola and Procter & Gamble. – www.investopedia.com

refine for the next attempt? Winners get excited about the next opportunity and view it as a new opportunity; a chance to win is far better than the sour taste of not being in the game.

Well, businesses have four quarters, too. Each quarter is 131,400 minutes long and after four quarters, your score is entered in the record books or, more likely, your bank’s books. Every period you have a chance to win or lose and the end result of each quarter won’t be because of what happens in the final minute. Instead, it will be the result of the decisions you made well before the game started. It will be grounded in your practice, your preparation, your performance and your passion. The surest of game plans and preparation can only give you a chance to win it and that chance, the chance to execute perfectly, is what keeps a competitor in the game.

Wadi Qelt offers inspiration Commentary by Don Knebel

Wadi Qelt (or Kelt) is a narrow gorge cutting through the Judean Wilderness, a rugged mountainous area in the West Bank east travel of Jerusalem. A blue-domed monastery improbably clinging to its steep northern face marks Wadi Qelt as a special place, not only the setting for one of Jesus’ best known parables but also the likely inspiration for the Bible’s best loved Psalm.

For thousands of years, travelers between Jerusalem and Jericho have followed the 17-mile long path through Wadi Qelt, facing danger from falling, wild animals and thieves hiding in its many caves. By the time of Jesus, the Romans had built a road through Wadi Qelt that became the setting for the only parable of Jesus tied to a specific geographic location. The traveler rescued by the Good Samaritan had been beaten by thieves and left to die by passing countrymen along this dangerous road to Jericho.

Shepherds can still be seen above Wadi Qelt, leading their sheep and goats along paths worn into the hillside by countless earlier shepherds.

The shepherds still guide their flocks along these

paths with their rods and still lead them to the calm, spring-fed waters of the wilderness. When sitting above Wadi Qelt, it is impossible not to imagine that the writer of the 23rd Psalm was sitting in the same spot when he wrote about his Lord, the shepherd, protecting and comforting his animals as they walked through the “valley of the shadow of death.” Whether this really happened will never be known, but it is easy to see the comforting words of that famous Psalm as an effort by their writer, traditionally thought to have been David, to connect his image of God with the real experiences of his people.

A trip to Israel includes many opportunities for connecting the events in the Bible with the locations where they happened. But few travel experiences compare with sitting above Wadi Qelt and contemplating the hundreds of generations that have experienced both its dangers and the words of hope and compassion it may have inspired.

A couple of thoughts on ‘couple of’ Commentary by Jordan Fischer

Question: “Dear Grammar Guy, There is a relatively new trend among younger writers and, as a former high school grammar guy English teacher, it’s driving me crazy. Popular construction: ‘I’ll be with you in a couple minutes.’

Traditional construction: ‘I’ll be with you in a couple OF minutes.’ I know which one I think is correct, but perhaps you can address this is in your column in Current.” (Pamela Jackson, Carmel) Answer: Thanks for writing in, Pamela. I think I can spare a couple of minutes to talk about the subject.

The word “couple,” as we use it in everyday speech, is a noun with a very specific meaning: “two persons married, engaged or otherwise romantically paired,” or simply “two persons paired together.” It has a different meaning in physics and chemistry, but those uses aren’t relevant to our discussion now.

When we use the phrase “a couple of,” we’re getting into idiomatic territory. “A couple of” serves as an adjective phrase modifying whatever noun comes after the preposition: a couple of dogs, a couple of trees, a couple of dollars, etc. In this sense, the phrase “a couple” does not necessarily indicate two people who are paired together, but rather a small but indeterminate number

One of those days?

of people or things which are grouped or loosely bound together. In the phrase above – “I’ll be with you in a couple of minutes” – the speaker is obviously not referring to two minutes which are romantically involved. It’s understood that the speaker isn’t even referring to two minutes, but likely a short period of time required to finish whatever task he or she is currently engaged in; a “few” minutes, more or less. This is an idiom.

As native English speakers, we understand the meaning of the phrase intuitively, even though a literal translation for a non-native speaker likely wouldn’t make much sense.

It’s difficult to say that idiomatic expressions have hard and fast rules for them, since by definition they are colloquial, non-standard uses of words. However, since our idiom is changing “couple” from a noun to an adjective phrase, and changing the meaning, to boot, I think it’s fair to require the preposition “of” after “couple” to tip off the listener/reader that we aren’t using the word’s standard definition. Besides, “of” is only two letters. If you can’t spare even a couple of milliseconds to tack it on, well, that’s just lazy.

Be braver with outdoor decorating

Commentary by Vicky Earley

It is officially the time of year when the living space within your home can spill into the great outdoors. This new found decorating living space provides the perfect setting for design styles that you are hesitant to try indoors. Go colorful, go modern or go romantic for a change.

Set the mood for your outdoor oasis with an outdoor rug. This will define the space as a room rather than a mere patio with patio furnishings.

The rug will anchor the furnishings as well as provide a soft surface for bare summer-time feet.

If your patio furnishings are solid, go a bit crazy with your rug. This is where color and bold pattern can reign. If you opted for pattern on your furnishings, solids and stripes are the best option. Typical patio seating sets generally come with a sofa, a table and one or two chairs. This grouping makes it easy to create a conversation area by arranging the seating so that guests face each other. Add a bench with pillows for additional interest.

If you haven’t purchased your outdoor furniture yet, think beyond the obvious. There are some amazing outdoor sectionals out there and oversized ottomans that mimic an indoor look.

End tables and cocktail tables will help make the space more practical as a living area. Since outdoor entertaining always involves good food and drinks, structure your tables so that your

guest won’t have to use their lap as a table or have to use the ground for their drinks.

When you have your space defined, your next step is to create walls. This might require a bit of imagination as compared to the drywall of interior space. Planters, an arbor or tall container arborvitaes are excellent starts, A fountain or iron sculpture increases the dimension and interest. The goal is simply to create the feel of privacy from passing cars and pedestrians. An outdoor fireplace can be used as a focal point in your new found room just as it is indoors.

Since good parties tend to see the wee hours, consider lighting sources. Just as in the indoor

living space, you will have your best results when ambient lighting is planned in addition to functional lighting. Solar-powered accent lights are easy to install along the edge of a patio, don’t require wiring and have come a long way from the weak glow that they originally offered.

Tiki torches are inexpensive and set a fun, romantic mood compliments of the flickering flame.

Local materials can become conversation pieces Commentary by Randy Sorrell

For printing your a quote next job. on CALL TODAY US

This bright micro-space reminds me of oldworld courtyards that you may have explored in southern historic downtowns outdoors like New Orleans and Savannah. Tight spaces have such an incredible opportunity to draw people in and provide a sense of romance or intrigue.

Before the early spring update, this landscape had grown tired and suffered from last winters’ heavy snow. The arborvitae failed miserably, and we were thrilled to replace them with an authentic boxwood hedge flanked by stately blue holly.

Fortunately, the multiple stem riverbirch remains healthy and produces fantastic shade in blazing August afternoons. The rich evergreen pachysandra groundcover (yes, this delicate beauty is evergreen) creates a lush green carpet under the birch and is a striking contrast to the fragrant, blue flowering catmint perennial.

Notice the Indiana snapped limestone bed edge snuggled in the foreground of the pachysandra? It behaves as a small seat wall and is a great resting place for candles, plates and drinks when entertaining. It’s a clever way to ease elevation changes and is a trusted conversation stimulant about using local materials and being environmentally friendly.

Without apologizing, the low slung, shocking green seating steals the show. Frankly, it’s not that comfortable, but the contemporary lines

The striking green contemporary seating instantly gives this patio personality. (Submitted photo)

dazzle the space and fits well. Strategy … a boring patio/tired deck can be instantly rescued with bold furniture, a colorful rug and a handful of accessories. Expect to spend more than you would prefer on stunning furniture, but it will be worth the investment and costs considerably less than a new patio.

Want to explore this courtyard more? Join the Carmel Clay Historical Society’s downtown gar-

den tour June 15 with a celebratory conclusion at the featured garden discussed above from 3 to 6 p.m. Hope to see you there.

Backsplash is an easy kitchen redo Commentary by David Decker

If you’re looking to upgrade the look of your kitchen, one high-impact place to start is installing a new backsplash design. A indoors new backsplash can instantly refresh the feel of your kitchen.

And, because it’s possible to switch out a backsplash without moving cabinetry or appliances, this upgrade makes a great weekend remodel project.

You’ll want to begin by first measuring the length and height of the wall space where you’re going to install your backsplash. These measurements will give you a baseline idea about what size of tile to shop for.

Once you’ve recorded the measurements, you can start looking for design inspirations. What kind of style are you trying to create in your kitchen? Not all backsplashes are made from tile, but it’s the route many homeowners choose to go. Keep the following elements in mind when you are shopping for tile: • Backsplash tiles come in a huge variety of sizes, so don’t let yourself be confined to the old 4-inch by 4-inch or 6-inch by 6-inch standard tile sizes of yesterday. Select larger tiles if you you’d like to make a space look bigger. Or if you’d like to generate an intricate, yet cohesive design, small mosaic tiles may be perfect for your kitchen.

• Keep in mind the color of your countertops as you are choosing a tile color. Complex and colorful backsplashes look best when paired with solid countertops, and vice versa.

• Backsplashes can be constructed from ceramic, stone, glass, metal, porcelain and more. Inventively mixing different materials is sure to attract visual attention. And don’t forget to pay close attention to textures.

• Changing the orientation of your tile can radically change the entire look of the backsplash. Try vertical or diagonal patterns for a modern, innovative style.

After you’ve decided on a particular style or look for your tile, it’s time to think about the way you’d like to install it. Wrapping the backsplash around a wider perimeter of the room can make your kitchen more visually consistent, while tricking the eye into making the room look bigger. You may also want to create a focal point above the stove or around other cooking areas.

Switch up the color or pattern in this area for a bit of visual excitement. Or, say you’ve found a beautiful (but pricey) tile design. You could save money by using the expensive tiles only above the cooking area, while using more affordable tiles throughout the kitchen.

The best backsplash designs enhance your kitchen cabinetry and countertops, while acting as a visually exciting decorative component. Pay attention to the details and don’t be afraid to try something new.
