IU North CEO hands on with dog therapy

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

IU North President and CEO Jon Goble is a huge supporter of the hospital’s therapy dog program.

How huge? Well, Goble and his wife, Theresa, are certified trainers and take their own Portuguese water dogs around to patients. pets Goble, a Carmel resident, said he had three reasons for wanting to take part in the program himself.

“One, I think it makes a difference in the way the patients feel,” Goble said. “You can see the evidence and research that a dog makes a difference in people’s lives. If a person owns a dog, they live longer. There is a reduction of stress. The same thing applies to a patient.

“The second reason is our dogs are high energy.

They needed a job. They need to have something to focus on or activity. Otherwise they become devil dogs and terrorize you by making up their own fun.”

The third reason is a personal one for Goble.

“As a CEO, I needed a reason or excuse to get into a patient’s room to understand how we were caring for the patient,” Goble said. “My excuse is the dog therapy.

But I do more than that. I go in and I listen to the patient and watch what’s going on. When I walk into a patient’s room with the dog, it’s an icebreaker. They don’t think about who’s on the other end of the leash.

They think about this fuzzy, lovable creature. I don’t usually tell them what I do until the very end, then I have a conversation about how the care is and I learn an enormous amount from that interaction.”

Theresa serves as his assistant when they go around on Fridays visiting patients. They have served as trainers for six years, beginning one year after the program started at IU North.

Goble’s dog, Lily, who turned 9 years old in August, was certified as an AKC Good Citizen dog first with Goble as her handler. Their younger dog, Brooke, was

Dispatches Corrections – In the Sept. 1 edition of Current in Carmel, the date of the Carmel City Council Finance, Rules and Administration Committee meeting was incorrect. The committee will meet at 5:30 p.m.

trained shortly thereafter with Theresa as her handler.

“It’s been a great and rewarding experience,” Theresa said. “We’ve met some wonderful people.”

Theresa said her husband decided he wanted to get a Portuguese water dog after seeing their neighbor’s canine.

“They’re really cute and they’re really smart,” Goble said. “And they don’t shed, which makes them a perfect breed for (visiting hospitals).”

Since they already had one dog, he had to hound his wife for awhile until she gave in.

Theresa said they take the dogs all over the hospital.

“If the doctor doesn’t want us to go in, we won’t go in,” Theresa said. “We never go into a room unless the patient wants us in there. We always ask if they like dogs and would like a dog visit.”

Typically, the response is an enthusiastic yes. The stay is usually five minutes.

The dogs can work wonders with their soothing presence, Goble said.

Access to U.S. 31 from 103rd St. to end this month news@currentincarmel.com

On or after Sept. 8, crews plan to permanently remove access to and from U.S. 31 at 103rd Street. transportation Also on or after Sept. 8, all U.S. 31 traffic between 96th Street to just north of 103rd Street will be shifted to the east side of the

roadway so crews can begin work on the new lanes of U.S. 31 on the west side of the road. All turning movements to and from I-465 and 96th Street will remain available. Traffic will remain in this configuration through November.

When the traffic signal at U.S. 31 and 103rd Street is removed, access from southbound U.S. 31 to the eastbound and westbound I-465 ramps will become free-flowing from south of 106th

Street.

As part of the final configuration of U.S. 31, 103rd Street will become a cul-de-sac on either side of U.S. 31, and nearby access to and from US 31 will remain available via I-465, 106th Street and 116th Street. The 103rd Street closure will not begin until after the City of Carmel opens 106th Street at Illinois Street.

Small business owners react to anti-discrimination ordinance

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

OPPOSES ORDINANCE Melanie Burosh, owner of Holy Family Books and Gifts 1327 S. Range Line Road Prominently displayed on her front door is a sign that reads, “Respect Religious Freedom.”

Melanie Burosh owns the store in Carmel with her husband, Don, and she said she doesn’t discriminate against anyone who walks through her doors, but she opposes the proposed anti-discrimination ordinance because she doesn’t think the government should make laws restricting religious freedom. At the same time, she said she sells her religious gifts and items to many gay customers.

“It’s not really my place to judge people or to tell them I won’t sell to them,” she said.

“Personally, I don’t think that’s the right thing to do.”

SUPPORTS ORDINANCE Jeanne Shirley, owner of Painting with a Twist 301 E. Carmel Dr. Along with her husband Bryan, Jeanne

Shirley owns a Carmel location of the national franchise Painting with a Twist that offers art classes with wine. Her location recently hosted a Marriage Equality Night where attendees could paint a tree with rainbow leaves. Being connected to artists, Shirley said she meets people of all types and she thinks businesses should never discriminate against customers because of who they are.

“I think the ordinance is a good idea,” she said. “It’s never a good idea to treat people differently.”

Bucket list dream comes true

By Kayla Nakeeb • news@currentincarmel.com

The Hoosier Salon Gallery in downtown Carmel was full of visitors Aug. 28 eager to catch a glimpse of a one-night, one-man show featuring the art and life of Don Finch.

Finch, 62, is terminally ill with two art large tumors on his liver, and chemo and radiation are not an option. He faced no choice but to accept his circumstances and delve into his family and his artwork, the two things he loves most.

The former Marine paints and draws to keep busy, even when pain makes it difficult.

“It’s better than sitting on the couch and vegging out,” Finch said.

Andy Chapman, a friend of Finch, was blown away by the artist’s latest exotic animal inspired pieces and partnered with the Hoosier Salon to organize the show, allowing Finch to cross an item off his bucket list.

A matte company framed and matted many of the pieces for free. The wall space available held 37 exotic textured lions, airbrushed primates, breathtaking landscapes and charcoal and pastel nudes.

Finch has created all of his life, working with billboards, murals and album covers. He began studying at the Herron School of Art.

Two years in, burned out from working 40 hours per week to support his passion, Finch joined the Marine Corps. Even then he was creating artwork. Now, his basement studio serves as a “plenty big space” to work.

Hoosier Salon gallery manager Rich Anderson said Finch and his artwork serve as a reminder of life’s fragility.

“Every breath that you take is closer to the end, a reminder for us to live life,” Anderson said.

City Market in the works

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Justin Moffett and his company, Old Town Design Group, have many big projects in the works. The company is building homes at the old Sunrise golf course and constructing an innovative nursing home midtown along 126th Street. Old Town is leading a $130-million-plus transformation of Carmel’s Midtown area with multiple new buildings along the Monon Trail.

But one of the most difficult challenges is bringing a “city market” to one of the Midtown buildings. That’s because it’s a new experience for the home builder.

“The City Market is the most complicated part of this deal,” Moffett said. “This is like a startup.”

The city market will be on the main level of the new Merchants Plaza and will have 15,000 square feet of retail space designed for roughly 20 vendors.

As the project progressed, questions lingered about who would run the market.

But planners appear to have come up with a solution.

Moffett has hired Stevi Stoesz, executive director of the Indianapolis City Market, as a consultant to help set up the market. Stoesz

recommended David O’Neil at the Project for Public Spaces to also assist.

They’ll work on A city market is being planned in the main level of Merchants Plaza. develop(Submitted rendering) ing a business plan and advising on the right mix of vendors.

The city market itself will be a city-owned asset in perpetuity, which will require approval by the Carmel City Council. Moffett doubts the councilors want to run the market, so a nonprofit called the Midtown District Association is expected to be created to manage it.

“There are some people who are uncertain how this market will work out because it is so complicated,” Moffett said. “But if I don’t know how to do something, then you find people who do know how to do it and you bring them in. It’s kind of the theme of my career.”

Casting director to hold workshop

By Joseph Knoop • news@currentincarmel.com The first step to succeeding in show business is getting noticed. Actors of all ages can begin heading in that direction acting through Milestone Talent Group’s upcoming workshop led by Nickelodeon casting director Harriet Greenspan.

Greenspan, whose credits include casting roles for television’s “Drake & Josh,” “Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide” and “True Jackson, V.P.” among many others, will direct a workshop Sept. 20 focused on audition technique.

While actors are far from Indiana’s biggest export, Milestone owner Margi Beaver says the skills developed in these workshops can be applied to more advantageous regions as long as students and parents are willing to consider the risks and benefits.

“It’s kind of like being a flight attendant,” Beaver said. “Wherever your base is, you’ve got to be on reserve. You’ve got to be ready for an audition. They don’t want to wait until tomorrow.”

Greenspan, whose work casting for television naturally segued into coaching sessions such as Milestone’s, has often pulled talents deemed strong enough from workshops.

“She brings the knowledge, she’s already

on set and knows what it takes,” Beaver said.

“You could have 1,000 acting coaches, but if those coaches aren’t on set, they’re not in that industry.”

Beaver emphasized the risks of entering into the industry young. While some parents can overstress their children to pursue a career in acting, the services and guidance Milestone offers aim to offset the common mistakes and dangers of youthful ignorance, including preliminary interviews evaluating the parent’s and child’s ultimate desires.

The workshop is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sept.

20. Participation costs $169 per person.

Carmel winery takes top prize

By Chris Bavender • news@currentincarmel.com The Indy International Wine Competition – featuring almost 2,200 wines from 11 countries and 40 states – is the largest of its kind in the country. And this year it saw a local winery take home top honors achievement as Carmel’s Peace Water Winery’s 2012 Grateful Red earned Red Wine of the Year.

“We knew that we were making some really great wines, however, a brand new winery has never won an award of that stature, so clearly it was unexpected,” said Scott Burton, owner of the winery. “All credit goes to our outstanding winemaker, Brian Brakesman, who literally grew up in the vineyards of Napa Valley and has been making wine ever since.”

The 2012 Grateful Red is a blend of 75 percent Cabernet Franc and 25 percent Malbec.

The wine was aged for 18 months in barrels made of French oak and then blended and bottled at the winery’s facility in Napa Valley.

The 2012 Grateful Red wasn’t the only wine Peace Water entered in the competition.

Eleven wines were entered, with 10 winning medals in their respective classes – including a gold for the 2012 Nirvana.

“This was the first time we had the chance

to have them all evaluated and blind tasted by an independent panel,” Burton said.

But the winery isn’t resting on its laurels.

Two new releases are now available – the 2014 Bliss Sauvignon Blanc and the 2007 Howell Mountain Late Harvest Zinfandel.

“Our 2013 Bliss was Peace Water Winery’s a huge hit and was 2012 Grateful Red earned Red Wine of the named best white Year at the Indy Interwine at the World Wine Tasting Champi- national Wine Competionship,” Burton said. tion. (Submitted photo) “This year we produced 275 cases with grapes from the same vineyard. It is already flying off the shelves.”

Peace Water Winery now also offers a patio featuring local artists playing live music from 6 to 10 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Patrons can “BYOF” – bring your own food – or order from restaurants in the area and have it delivered right to the table.

Explore design at Home-A-Rama

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Residents in and around Hamilton County will have a unique chance to see current trends and designs in home building at the annual Home-A-Rama event event taking place Sept. 17-Oct. 4 in the Sagamore neighborhood in Noblesville on Thursdays through Sundays from noon to 8 p.m.

“Home-A-Rama is a unique home show featuring five custom-built, fully decorated and landscaped homes. These homes will showcase the latest trends in design, decorating, technology, outdoor living and landscaping,” said Carrie Carson of the Builder Association of Greater Lains Indianapolis. “The Sagamore show is very unique in that two of the five show homes will be ranch-style or ‘empty nester’ style homes, which is an extremely popular trend local builders are seeing in the market right now.”

BAGI’s charity partner is the St.Vincent Cancer Walk for this year’s showing. According to Carson, they will receive a portion of the show proceeds.

The five builders taking part in the exhibit are Gradison Design Build, Matt Beecher Homes, McKenzie Collection, Old Town Design and Williams Custom Art. The event was created by BAGI, which has hosted since the 1970s.

“The show has developed over time to coincide with market trends and featuring the latest designs the building and construction industry has to offer,” Carson said.

Tickets for the show cost $12 online or $15 at the gate.

“This food can make me fat,” travel Annan said. “I’m not used to it.”

Annan, 17, was among a group of 12 students and two teachers who visited Carmel from its Chinese sister city, Xiangyang, from Aug. 18 to 29.

“It’s a colorful life here,” Annan said. “Students here are very outstanding.”

Chenglu Zhang, 15, said visiting the high school was the best part of her visit.

“I like the students and Annan Li the big basketball gym and the playground sessions,” Zhang said.

“We went to a concert there. We had many interesting classes, such as American history and babysitting. We don’t have that in China.

Zhang had trouble adjusting to American food, too.

“I like peppers, but the peppers here are sweet,” Zhang said. “I don’t like sweet.”

Costa Rican program combines yoga, jungle for Carmel woman

By Maddie Stevens • news@currentincarmel.com

Most visits to Facebook include checking up on friends or sharing status updates, but for Grace Roth it led to a achievement trip to Costa Rica.

The Carmel resident recently returned from an eight-week yoga certification class at Passion Yoga School, a Costa Rican program she learned about while browsing Facebook.

“I was shocked when I called Adi Shakti, founder and the head instructor of Passion Yoga School,” said Roth, 22. “The price of the entire program, flight, food and lodging was cheaper than any class offered in the United States.”

Before she knew it, her trip was planned.

Within eight weeks, Roth would be a certified yoga teacher.

During the trip, Roth lived in a tiny jungle bungalow along with cockroaches, mosquitos, lizards and ants. The presence of these critters was second nature by the end of the trip, she said.

Roth learned several aspects of yoga during the eight weeks that she carried back with her to the United States. Shakti’s program provided Roth and 14 other students with knowledge on the philosophy and history of yoga, alignment of the postures, meditation and several other lessons.

In the near future, Roth plans on starting her own yoga business called Meditating Stickman, Inc. The business will be based on yoga and wellness through private yoga sessions. Roth believes private sessions will allow the practitioner to work toward his or her own yoga goals.

“In my experience I found that I wanted more personalized attention and feedback so I could learn the proper alignment of the poses

Carmel women help found cooperative elementary

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

Three mothers enjoyed the cooperative preschool experience so much they didn’t want it to end when their children education hit first grade.

Carmel residents Courtney McCracken and Angela Wills, along with Sarah Cook of Indianapolis, all had children in Meridian Hills cooperative kindergarten during the 2014-15 school year.

So they decided to start a cooperative elementary school called The Limberlost School, which will begin classes on Sept. 8. There will be one class of first and second graders.

Eventually the plan is for the Indianapolis school, 2720 E. 86th St., to go to fifth or sixth grade.

The school, which McCracken said is the first cooperative elementary school in the Indianapolis area, has rented space in Union Chapel Methodist Church.

“It’s hands-on experiential learning with a small classroom,” McCracken said. “Our kids flourish in that setting and we felt this is what we wanted school to be like and what we thought school should be like.”

McCracken said they have modeled what they saw their kids doing in the kindergarten class.

Claire Cesjlarev, a former teacher at Noblesville West Middle School, has been hired as the teacher. The parents help as teachers aides.

“A cooperative really feels a lot different

than a more traditional school,” said McCracken, a 1997 Carmel High School graduate.

“You’re a lot more involved with the kids.

There is one parent in the classroom each day and we just rotate through the parents. We also run the school. There is no administration outside of the parents. We’re providing so much of the work ourselves that it makes it very affordable.”’

The cost is $3,600 per school year in nine installments. The maximum is 15 students for the first year. McCracken expects 10 to 12 students to be enrolled this fall. McCracken’s son, Henry, Wills’ son, Adam, and Cook’s daughter, Evie, are all enrolled.

Jamine Schaefer of Indianapolis has decided it is a good option for her first-grade daughter, Piper.

“The opportunity to have a real hand in our child’s education while maintaining a healthy balance between school and family life attracted us to Limberlost,” Schaefer said. “Once meeting with the teacher, Mrs. Cesjlarev, we knew our daughter would receive quality, hands-on instruction with lots of room for active participation and self-expression that develops authentic critical thinking skills. It’s a place where she’ll love learning just for learning’s sake.”

The school is named after the novel, “A Girl of the Limberlost,” written by Indiana author Gene Stratton-Porter.

Cultural experience hits home

By Amanda Foust • news@currentincarmel.com Many people have the desire to learn more about different cultures and develop meaningful global relationships, but education obstacles such as the cost of travel get in the way.

University High School has introduced a local learning opportunity and partnership with gphomestay, an organization that trains host families who welcome international students into their homes. These families offer students an integrated American experience.

“This program is really a great and rewarding cultural exchange opportunity,” said Mike Culver, gphomestay residential coordinator.

One Carmel family, Michael and Julie Murvis, have been with gphomestay’s program for two years hosting Jason (Xuanzhou) Chen.

Chen attended University High School his freshman year and has returned this fall for his sophomore year.

“UHS, being a uniquely small and supportive environment, makes the natural academic challenges much less difficult,” Culver said.

Becoming acclimated to American studies is not the only learning Chen has experienced.

Chen grew up in the large city of Shanghai as an only child. Now he is living in the U.S. with

a family of six who lives down the road from several horse ranches. In addition to the opportunity to study at UHS, he has participated both in basketball and baseball programs.

“The program is good, and they found me a good family to stay with,” Chen said, “I have learned a lot in sports. Sometimes we need to do something together, not just by ourselves.”

Host families receive a monthly stipend and additional support, tools and communication assistance to encourage family success.

“I, personally, am proud to be a small part of a program that is helping make Carmel a multi-cultural city,” Culver said.

Teens aim to build school

By Maddie Yerant • news@currentincarmel.com You don’t have to be big to make a big difference.

Just ask Anna Tobias. fundraiser The 13-year-old Carmel resident and her friends have come together to form Pencils of Promise Indy, an organization seeking to raise money to build schools in developing countries.

Since 2009, Pencils of Promise has built more than 300 schools and reached more than 33,000 students around the world, according to its website.

Tobias was inspired to start a local chapter of the national organization after reading “The Promise of a Pencil: How an Ordinary Person Can Create Extraordinary Change” by Adam Braun, Pencils of Promise founder and CEO. She shared the book with her friends.

“She sent me the book and I read it, and then she invited us over for cookies and to talk about the book,” said Annie Leppert, a

Pencils of Promise Indy member from Indianapolis. “Then we just got started. We got started on it that day.”

Since forming Pencils of Promise Indy during winter break last year, Tobias and her friends have raised $3,120 after making a speech and fundraising at her spring choir concert at Carmel Middle School. It’s an impressive number, but not their goal.

“We are starting to build a school, which takes $25,000,” Tobias said.

Tobias said Pencils of Promise Indy’s next fundraising event is set for Sept. 12 at Grandin Hall, a Carmel neighborhood off of 146th street across from Grace Church. It will include food trucks, a DJ, games and other activities.

It seems like a lot for young teenagers to take on, and Tobias said her age can be daunting when making plans.

Going on vacation anytime soon? The Carmel Police Department now offers Carmel residents a new way public safety to request vacation checks on their homes when they go out of town.

Vacation checks, which are semi-regular evaluations of a house’s doors, windows and any other entryways for security purposes, can now be requested via an online questionnaire at carmel.in.gov under “Departments & Services’” “Police” subsection. Vacationers provide the police department general address

and contact information, as well as details on potential alarm systems, lights, visitors and more. Officers are then notified via an electronic program of the request. “(The request system) has been in place for years, but we just recently put it up so somebody could do it electronically,” CPD Lt. Joe Bickel said. “We haven’t had any rise in crime.

Burglary is actually down.”

Residents without Internet access may also submit a request at the Carmel Police Department’s front desk. Those who need to make adjustments to their request may do so by calling the department’s front desk personnel during normal weekday business hours.

Inaugural youth tourney planned

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com With youth football numbers falling off in some area suburbs due in large part to the national discussion about the football impact of concussions, Mike Garrett Jr. wanted to provide more opportunities for the sport he loves.

So the Zionsville resident came up with the idea of the Indy Crossroads Midwest Championships, set for Nov. 7 and 8, for youth football teams. Teams will play a minimum of three games with the championship games set for 6 p.m. Nov. 8 “We are pushing this for two reasons. One is the smaller numbers in football and the healthy competition we can bring out in this,” said Garrett, the tournament director. “We’ve done a lot with USA Football. It’s another way to showcase the sport of football. Travel baseball, softball, wrestling and lacrosse do tournaments. For football, this is a new thing.”

USA Football emphasizes heads-up tackling to avoid concussions.

The Indy Crossroads tournament will feature football teams from second through eighth grade. There will be several stadium sites around Indianapolis, including Zionsville Community High School and Pike High School

When Tatyana Komarova was 12 years old, she was selected to attend the Orlyonok Camp in Russia because of her travel excellence in leadership. This summer, Komarova, now the executive director of the International Talent Academy in Carmel, took 10 Carmel students to the camp for three weeks.

The kids spent time traveling and learning at “Orlyonok,” or Young Eagle, the world’s largest educational, recreational and health center for gifted and talented youth, near Sochi, Russia.

Komarova said her hope was for the children to take everything they learned to heart.

“They were able to make so many friends from different countries, feel the excitement and learn a lot of things,” she said. “All children deserve to experience this kind of thing.”

The students, between the ages of 10 and 13, were selected to represent the International Talent Academy at the Children’s International Performing Arts Festival.

They had the opportunity to see Moscow, Sochi, the Olympic village and much more.

At the end of the kids’ time in Russia, they performed a USA presentation. Katerina Folkin, 11, said she liked representing the U.S. “First we watched everyone else’s presen-

tations and we thought they were really cool,” she said. “We showed them our culture and we practiced a lot.”

Masha and David Wiener were able to visit their children, Elyse and Jacob, while they were in Russia.

Masha was excited for her children to attend the camp because, growing up in Russia, she had always dreamed of going to the famous camp herself.

“I was excited right away,” she said. “As a kid I always wanted to go, but it was a privilege. I didn’t know if it would happen, because we didn’t want to send our kids away for that long, but I think it’s important to be exposed to other cultures.”

Open house to display expansion

By Steven Aldrich • news@currentincarmel.com

When Carmel’s Bethlehem Lutheran Church first began meeting in 1991, the congregation held services in an old library building.

The church has come a long church way since then, purchasing a 4.3-acre property near Main and Meridian streets to accommodate growth.

Recently the church expanded again, adding a new sanctuary that can seat 200 people, a large welcoming area, three offices and additional restrooms.

The project also included a remodel to expand preschool and other classrooms. With all

of the new additions, the church has nearly doubled in square footage.

Pastor George Ferch said that although the church now has a different look, its mission has remained the same.

“We plan to use our expanded facilities to better serve Carmel and neighboring communities with the gospel of Jesus Christ,” he said.

Bethlehem Lutheran Church, 13225 Illinois St., will hold an open house from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sept. 19 to introduce the public to the changes. Attendees will be able to take a tour of the building, enjoy refreshments and pick up free coffee mugs, T-shirts and other items.

Back in the Day: A look at the Carnegie library

By Terri Horvath • news@currentincarmel.com

Inside the Carnegie library. (Photo courtesy of The Carmel Clay Historical Society)

“Dubliners” by James Joyce, “Tarzan of the Apes” by Edgar Rice Burroughs and “Penrod” by Booth Tarkington were some of the newly published History novels in 1914 awaiting a home in Carmel’s new Carnegie public library. Although the structure was formally dedicated on June 6, 1914, the library was formed in 1904 by the Wednesday Literary Club. The group began lending books from a Main Street storefront.

By 1911, the library’s board received a $11,000 grant from the Carnegie Corporation to build a stand-alone building. To receive the grant, however, the community also had to provide financial support. Other requirements included that Carmel provide the building site and allow free service to all.

Self-service was an innovation that the Carnegie design initiated. This revolutionary open-shelf policy

helped reduce operating costs. Instead of the librarians going into the stacks, patrons perused the shelves themselves. Since theft of books was a concern, the library’s circulation desk was strategically placed just inside the front door. When the library opened, the stacks consisted of 5,847 books.

By the late 1960s, the library’s demands outgrew the small Carnegie building. The collection had grown to 21,000 books. Plans were developed for a new library, which opened in August 1972. Another expansion, more than doubling the size, was needed with the Carmel Clay Public Library opening in 1986. Both facilities were built a few blocks east of the Carnegie building.

After the library’s departure, the Carnegie building was purchased by the Town of Carmel, which used it for offices and a courthouse until 1989. Since then, the building has served the community as a restaurant.

Its current owner is Woodys Library Restaurant.

Singing group comforts others at the end of life

By Michelle Williams news@currentinzionsville.com The end or boundary; the point or level at which something begins or changes — this is the meaning of the word “threshold.” When it pertains to someone’s cover story life, it is often surrounded by sadness, suffering, pain and grief, for both the person at the threshold and the people who care about that person.

Directed by Carmel resident Deborah Carrithers, a group of Indianapolis singers aims to bring comfort and joy to the bedsides of those at the threshold of life.

The Threshold Singers of Indianapolis are part of a network of choirs around the country, even extending as far as the United Kingdom and Australia. The choirs are composed of volunteer singers who most often perform in groups of three or four a cappella at the bedsides of hospice patients.

“We do what we call ‘holding space,’ which is a way of creating

Current in Carmel

www.currentincarmel.com

an environment where people are free to feel whatever they’re feeling with no judgment.” Carrithers said.

Carrithers explained that soothing music may help to lower blood pressure, reduce heart rate and deepen respiration, which can lead to feelings of comfort for patients and those around them. Patients have responded so positively that some hospice facilities have requested the group visit on a regular basis.

The first Threshold Choir was formed in 2000 in California by Kate Munger, the organization’s founder. Munger compiled songbooks containing 450 songs she personally wrote or curated.

“We say that they are spiritual without being religious,” Carrithers said. “They speak to spiritual concerns and fears, but they do not put forth any particular dogma. We try to honor all religious traditions as well as those who do not have churches.”

The Threshold Singers of Indianapolis formed in 2011 when Carrithers was approached by a friend.

“Kate Munger talks about the shiver that goes up your spine when you hear about it,” Carrithers said. “I definitely had that. I had a little bit of experience at the bedside sitting vigil. I just knew that this was something I wanted to do.”

Carrithers was initially a member of the group, then co-directed with a friend. In November 2013, when her codirector left to serve on her own, Carrithers assumed the position of sole director for the group. She has grown the local choir to 11 active members, with others expressing interest at

a growing rate.

Her vision is to grow the group to a point where smaller groups may practice and perform together regionally around Indianapolis.

Members practice together twice per month at Central Christian Church downtown and the group gives up to five monthly performances.

The Indianapolis group performs all over the city at locations such as the Abbie Hunt Bryce Home, St. Francis Beech Grove, Carmel Health & Living Community and Seasons Hospice.

Seasons Hospice employs a full-time music therapist and keeps another on its national board.

“They really understand how we can help the patients.” Carrithers said.

Sarah Mishler joined the group more than one year ago when she was seeking a way to serve people through music.

“Music is a real connection straight to the heart,” Mishler said. “It’s just a beautiful experience to do it and I hope it’s a beautiful experience to hear it. It’s just really profound.”

Carrithers hopes to grow the Indianapolis chapter so that the group may provide its services to more people at the threshold of their lives. She has witnessed first-

Well, then, no less an authority than RoadSnacks has sallied forth with the information for which everyone (and we do mean no one) has been waiting. Why, it’s the definitive list of the Snobbiest Cities in Indiana. Sorry, Carmel, but Zionsville is No. 1 while Carmel is No. 2. The website’s goal is to “show you the real side of places that not everyone wants to hear.” Terrific. The rankings were based on factors including median home prices, median household income, and art galleries per capita for municipalities with more than 5,000 people. A related site, HomeSnacks, recently ranked Zionsville as Indiana’s Best Place to Live. Who are we today, Sybil?

Commentary by Terry Anker

Plumbing disaster Commentary by Danielle Wilson We recently experienced a plumbing catastrophe here at Chez Wilson.

We’ve had “issues” with our main floor toilet for some time. In fact, just last spring I had to take a day off work after my husband had a virtual geyser of filth erupt in his face an hour before a big meeting. The plumber declared that a major blockage in the sewer line was the culprit, but it had cleared of its own accord and all was well.

Flash forward to this Sunday morning.

When I left the house for a bike ride, Doo was just settling down to a cup of coffee, some local news and plans for a productive day. When I arrived back two hours later, the poo had hit the fan. Literally.

Due to yet another blockage, raw sewage had overflowed out of the bathroom and into the back hallway and our oldest son’s newly-carpeted room. It had also seeped down into the air vents, where it

proceeded to drip out of the light fixtures into our finished basement, right onto an heirloom pool table. Doo had managed the worst of it – the house smelled of Clorox rather than eau de Port-O-let and there were only a few “chunks” left on the floorboards – but was in such a state that all I could do was laugh. Finally! A major household calamity on his watch!

For once, he’d had to find every towel in the house to sop up the sludge. He’d had to race downstairs with garbage cans and garage-only buckets to collect the leaks.

And he’d had to phone the plumber and give up his morning to wait out the fourhour service call window. It was wonderful!

Peace out.

Q U O T E O F T HE WEEK I have found the best way to give advice to your children is to find out what they want and then advise them to do it.

– Harry S. Truman

Left without alternative, human beings can be tremendously resourceful. When the Soviet empire, touted as a marvel of socialist perfection and central planning, collapsed – people managed. Certainly, it was frightening. Actually, frightening is an understatement. There was some crime, but there had always been criminals. This time, international media was allowed to broadcast the activity globally. There were some very tough outcomes. The weak, infirm and elderly were forced to rely even more upon the kindness of friends and relatives. To some, caring for those folks is an important moral obligation to give – and to others, it is an excessive expectation to be burdened with the need of someone else. But, millions did not starve. Millions did not die of disease. Millions figured out how to survive and, in some cases, thrive in a new economic order.

Without the massive government redistribution they had relied upon for generations, many picked up the pieces and improved their lives by gigantic leaps. For example, business interests in the Ukraine felt the pressure of increasing wages, surging access to capital goods and the inflation that can accompany an expanding economy. Those willing and able to adapt took advantage of the newly released opportunity. Those unable to function outside of the government-imposed cocoon had to find other means. Families learned to care for their own. Thousands of children escaped warehouse orphanages into the loving embrace of parents around the world.

Sure, not every single person was a winner, and some took too great of advantage.

Yet, the same was said about the previous system. Only now, we could openly find out about it. The Soviets discovered that the drag coefficient of big government is, well, a big drag. As Putin pushes back toward the Soviet era, we wonder who will win now.

That’s just tongue depressing Commentary by Dick Wolfsie “Prevention” magazine claims that by exercising certain muscles in your tongue, you can reduce snoring and prevent humor your spouse from elbowing you.

I don’t think Mary Ellen’s elbow can reach from her side of a king-size bed all the way to the living room couch.

According to the study, “These exercises are a promising noninvasive treatment for large populations suffering from snoring.” I have always wondered who the top snoring nations of the world were. That’s the kind of chart USA Today needs on its front page.

For example: Open your mouth 30 times like you’re saying, “Ahh” for your doctor. If you say, “Awww” like you are watching a YouTube cat video, that apparently won’t work.

Open your mouth wide and then use your hands to gently massage your lower jaw while counting to 20. But in order to count to 20, I either need both hands free or be able to talk out loud.

Try saying each vowel of the alphabet repeatedly. So you’d go, “A-E-I-O-U” about 30 times. Oh, and sometimes you can include Y. When doing these exercises, always opt

for in the privacy of your home. Doing them while using public transportation can lead to extended time in the slammer.

Check out the anti-snoring chin straps. The inventor claims they “easily stretch over your head, holding everything in place and preventing it from falling off.” Maybe it’s the English teacher in me, but I think that means you could be at risk of losing your head.

This device is so comfortable that “it can be worn throughout the night.” Wait, what’s the alternative? “Honey, the snoring strap has been very effective the last two hours. I’m waking you up now so you can take it off.”

“OK, thanks. I’m going back to sleep now.”

(10 minutes later) “Sorry, dear. You’re at it again. Saddle up. I’ll wake you again when it’s working.”

Also in the magazine: the top 10 exercises to reshape your nose. See you next week.

Are Your Kids Getting What They Need in School?

As a parent, you are your child's first and most important teacher.

You know your child best, and your input should be considered by the school at every opportunity. Parents frequently do not know what their children's rights are in terms of the education and services offered by the schools, and they often can feel intimidated by school staffs. Your child has the right to a free appropriate public education under federal law.

If you suspect that your child may have a disability, let your child’s school know. Parents have the right to be involved with every decision regarding their child’s education, including whether your child may need special education services. If your child is struggling behaviorally or academically, his school may be required to do an evaluation to see if he qualifies for special services. Trust your instincts: you know your child best. The worst thing to do is nothing.

If you wait to seek help for your child, his frustration and sense of failure could continue to break down his self-esteem, while the window of time for meaningful intervention narrows.

Each child qualifying for services are required by federal law to receive an Individualized Education Program, or IEP. IEPs are put together by a team of school staff and schools are required by law to include parents in this process. However, parents often feel as though they have little input to their child’s IEP because they are unaware of what their child’s rights are. This can have a serious impact and their child's progress can be impaired by a lack of knowledge. "What we have is what you get" is not what the federal and state laws provide. Schools receiving federal funding are required, by law, to devise an IEP for each child qualified for services based on that child's individual needs (not on the school's staffing or budget problems) that is reasonably calculated to confer a

29

meaningful educational benefit.

Anything less than that does not comply with the federal law, and is actionable through a due process proceeding.

Examples of how schools commit violations: • Failure to find a child eligible for services despite evidence that the child was struggling academically or behaviorally.

• Failure to develop an appropriate IEP based on the child's individual needs.

• Failure to implement the IEP as written.

• Failure to involve parents to meaningfully participate in the IEP development process.

• Failure to prevent punishment of the child for actions or inactions that are manifestations of the child's disability (caused by the child's disability).

• Failure to train staff and aides in the child's areas of disability.

• Predetermining placement and services before the case conference committee meeting.

• Failure to conduct necessary evaluations of the child.

• Failure to provide education and services in the least restrictive environment.

• Failure to offer extended school year services to the child.

• Failure to allow a child with special needs to participate in extracurricular activities to the same extent as his non-disabled peers.

At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., our team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs.

Bonnett returns to stage at Civic Theatre

Carmel native has lead role in Little Women, The Broadway Musical

By Sam Elliott • news@currentincarmel.com Carmel’s Julia Bonnett is making a return to musical theater playing the lead role in one of her favorite shows as she’ll portray Jo March in the Civic Theatre’s performance upcoming production of “Little Women, The Broadway Musical.”

The show opens Friday, Sept. 11, and runs through Saturday, Sept. 26, at the Tarkington.

The chance to play a character special to her in one of her favorite shows was enough to make Bonnett break what had become a two-year hiatus from performing arts.

“This is the first show I’ve done in two years. I haven’t done a show in a long time,” the 2009 Carmel High School grad said.

“I lived in New York for a year and didn’t perform out there. I worked for NBC in their video archives, which was really cool, but my lifestyle didn’t really lend to any performing. I’ve been Hoosier Park – Hoosier Park Racing and Casino will be hosting several live music events this fall, including: Little Texas on Sept. 25, Molly Hatchet on Oct. 23 and Mickey Dolenz Nov. 6. For more, visit hoosierpark.com.

back in Carmel for over a year now and I just wanted to get settled again before I did anything.”

When she heard the Civic Theatre decided on “Little Women, The Broadway Musical”, Bonnett decided she was plenty settled. “’Little Women (The Broadway Musical)’ is one of my favorite shows because the music is so beautiful. I don’t think it’s a show that a lot of people know outside of the musical theater community, but the music is gorgeous,” Bonnett said. “It’s some of my favorite music, so when I heard the Civic was doing it I just had to audition.”

She landed the lead role, one originated by Tony winner Sutton Foster — Bonnett’s idol in the profession who also originated another role special to Bonnett.

“Actually, the opening show here at the Tarkinton for Civic was ‘The Drowsy Chaperone’ and I played Janet Van De Graaf — Sutton Foster originated that role of Janet and she also originated the role of Jo in ‘Little Women (The Broadway Musical)’, which is kind of cool,” Bonnett said. “She’s really what made this show so successful, just because she’s amazing. I’m a big fangirl of Sutton Foster.”

Apple store at Conner Prairie – The apple store at Connor Prairie in Fishers opened for the apple season Sept. 1.

This is the 30th year of the apple store at Conner Prairie. For more information, visit connerprairie.org.

In portraying Jo March, Bonnett plays an aspiring Civil Warera writer with three sisters. It’s a character somewhat biographical of the 1869 classic’s author, Louisa May Alcott.

“It’s the type of character that is so different and is so against the norm of that time. Her sisters are getting married, trying to be in society and Jo is not interested in any of that,” Bonnett said. “All she wants is to write her stories, become a famous writer and stay with her sisters forever. The story is essentially about growing up and realizing that your dreams don’t necessarily come true, but it’s the path that matters.

“For me personally, this character is an important figure because she’s a feminist and she’s a great example for girls of any age who are different than what’s expected,” she added. “I love the character. I think she’s fantastic.”

Active in Carmel High School’s performing arts during her time there, Bonnett was in top show choir the Ambassadors and starred in a number of CHS stage productions.

Take your temp at game time

By Joe Drozda and Bob Bley Most high school games are played in the evening after school. This time of year that means a cooler temperature. College and NFL games are played at mid-day, afternoon, as well as evenings, so temperatures can range from cool to hot to cold. It’s important to consider the forecasted temperature to plan a tailgate party because one just wouldn’t serve hot spicy chili in 90-degree weather any more than he or she would serve cucumber salad in the snow.

To date we have focused on warm weather menu items. This time of the year, it will be OK to get out the grill and prepare some hot items. According to our survey, the most desired tailgate item is a sandwich made of a sausage (brat, Italian or even a hot dog) on a bun. It’s popular because it’s not only tasty, but it’s also easy to eat. One doesn’t need a fork or even a plate to enjoy a sandwich.

Since tailgaters most often want to go all-out for their party, the favorite item we see is the bratwurst or Italian sausage on a fancy bun.

Sausage Sandwiches You’ll have to search far and wide to find a better tasting sausage than this one. It is so juicy that the first bite requires a napkin, close to the mouth, just to catch the delicious juices that gush out! Remember to never break the skin of a bratwurst or Italian sausage with anything but your teeth.

Ingredients: 2 pkgs. of Johnsonville Original (not cooked) bratwurst or Italian sausage, 2 cans (12 oz.) or bottles of beer, 1 large onion chopped coarsely, 10 sausage rolls, French’s Classic yellow mustard, Other items needed, 1 pair clean white cotton work gloves, aluminum disposable baking pan

Sunday Evenings at 5pm

116th and Towne Rd. in Carmel

Preparation on the night before: Carefully place the sausages into a deep pot. Add the chopped onion and enough beer to cover them.

(Drink the rest of the beer as you work). Be gentle with the sausages so that the skin (casing) is not ever broken (use no tongs or forks).

Cook the sausages and onion at a simmer for 20 minutes. Remove the sausages, beer and onion from the heat and let them cool. Take the sausages out of the liquid and place them in a resealable plastic bag. Pour the liquid into a resealable bag as well. Refrigerate the meat and liquid until cooking at your tailgate.

Preparation on game day: Place the aluminum pan on your heated grill and add the beer and onion liquid and some freshly chopped peppers. Place your sausages on the grill and gently turn them with gloves (no tongs please). As the sausages brown, serve them on a bun slathered in mustard or place them, on hold, in the aluminum pan until needed.

Joe Drozda, the author of “The Tailgater’s Handbook”, is considered as the “Father of American Tailgating.” His website is tailgatershandbook.com. He is a resident of Hamilton County.

CSO to host special concert

By Sam Elliott • news@currentincarmel.com It’s a big year for the Carmel Symphony Orchestra as it celebrates its 40th birthday with a season of eight concerts that, while spanning the musical performance spectrum, share one thing in common.

“David Bowden, our artistic director, programmed the concerts so that every concert would have something about it that would be a celebration — a piece of music that’s very upbeat and celebration-minded or that’s just fun,” Carmel Symphony Orchestra CEO Dr. Alan Davis said.

The celebration begins with a concert aptly titled “A Community Celebration,” set for 6:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 12, at The Palladium.

“We looked at different things to do for the 40th and of course everybody originally gravitated toward a black-tie, fancy-dress dinner, dance and auction sort of celebration thing,” Davis said.

Tickets for the season-kickoff concert are just $10 for adults and $5 for students.

“That will allow people who might not normally come to the orchestra to come and sample what we do and they may find out they really like it,” Davis said. “And we’re having dessert afterwards. We’re having birthday

cake to kick off our 40th anniversary.”

The show will feature a selection of both classical and pop music’s greatest hits, with shorter pieces making for a constantly changing, celebratory atmosphere.

“We’ll run the gambit from Beethoven all the way through music from ‘Wicked’ and bigband pieces,” Davis said.

Audience members will also be treated to a pair of special guests — one being Carmel Mayor James Brainard, who will guest conduct one piece in place of Bowden.

The other guest is pianist Di Wu, who was also a part of the orchestra’s first notes at The Palladium five years ago. For more information, visit carmelsymphony.org.

Oliver Winery debuts new ‘Bubblecraft’ wine

By Joseph Knoop news@currentinwestfield.com Oliver Winery, the oldest and largest winery in Indiana, will debut its new “Bubblecraft” red one-tank trip and white wines this month, serving a sparkling new taste to Indiana wine enthusiasts looking to break out of the house for something new. For Hamilton and Boone Co. residents, a trip to Oliver Winery is a one-tank getaway to take this fall.

“Our winemaking philosopy is to make wines that capture the flavors of good fruit,” president and director of winemaking Bill Oliver said. “I’m really intrigued by the effect of carbon dioxide on flavors. I once had this chemist in a flavor lab get so fired up about it and it just made such an impression on me.”

Oliver describes the Bubblecraft sparkling wine as “lighter and charming” with a reduced sense of sweetness. One other major factor in the decision to move forward with Bubblecraft’s creation was the upswing in sparkling wine sales throughout the U.S. According to the Nielsen Company, sparkling wine sold six percent more than previous years in 2014, for sales totaling more than $900 million.

Oliver Winery holds daily wine tastings and weekend tours of the facility and cellar, where visitors will be able to sample the Soft Red Bubblecraft, the Soft White Bubblecraft and other wines for $5. Tours are free and provided every half hour.

Bubblecraft wine will be made available in nine states this fall, including Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky. Both wines are being sold for $10.99 a bottle. For more, visit oli-

Pregnancy is one of the miracles of life that many women are privileged to experience. But while it is a natural process, now open there are many questions and concerns that expecting families encounter along the way. With so many options in preparing for childbirth, it can be difficult to find the right help. Luckily there are midwifery services that provide aid for future mothers and their families, and one such service has just opened up in Carmel.

Offering a wide variety of services and care for women, Believe Midwifery Services has just opened its newest office on South Range Line Road and is hoping to provide Carmel and surrounding communities with premium midwifery services, among other things.

Certified Nurse-Midwives Dr. Penny Lane and Kristina Michael are the two women in charge of the new clinic and are excited to bring more than 20 years of nursing experience to Carmel.

The clinic originally began when Dr. Lane decided that she could offer a more personal experience of childbirth for expecting mothers compared to traditional hospitals.

“I started learning more about midwifery and I wanted to be an advocate for women,” Dr. Lane said. “Homebirth, I felt, theoretically made perfect sense especially if I could offer the same care as a remote facility.”

Dr. Lane felt that while traditional hospitals are great and much needed in our communities, some women were feeling left out of the decision making process of childbirth.

“I think there’s a lot to be offered in the medical community, but I think some clients feel a little railroaded and that they don’t get to be a partner in their decision making,” Dr. Lane said.

One of the main functions of the clinic is providing pregnant women with help in homebirths, with water births being a popular

option.

“We do all homebirths, we don’t do births in the clinic,” Michael said. “We do a lot of water births. I think a lot of moms like them. The water is great. I did read a study that water birth can be as effective for pain as an epidural. The spas that we have for our clients to rent are actually pretty tall and about six feet around so when a mom gets in their they can actually float, so our moms love those.

Michael explained that while they are present to help with the birth process, they try to let nature take its course and only get involved when needed, as in an emergency situation.

“We tend to be pretty hands-off in the birth process because it’s natural,” Michael said. “A lot of the times we’ll have the moms or the dads catch the baby. We really don’t intervene unless we need to and I think that’s the beauty of nurse midwifery.”

Dr. Lane stressed that with their nursing background, their staff is well equipped to deal with anything that gets thrown their way, taking as many as three of their staff to a homebirth.

“If we had a clinical emergency, which you can absolutely have in a maternity setting, then we have that nursing background to be able to handle that,” Dr. Lane said. “We do have that clinical background. We can place IV’s and give medications. So complete full resuscitations could occur in the home setting.

And there are emergencies that happen in the home that don’t require (hospital) transfers because there’s nothing more the hospital would do. A hemorrhage, for example; we can carry all the medications for that. Equipment travels. We are highly trained and skilled and we can take that equipment into the home.”

Believe Midwifery Services is now accepting patients. To learn more about the clinic, visit believemidwiferyservices.com or stop by their location at 1117 Range Line Rd on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

Can I swim with contacts?

Commentary by Tammy Wittmann This month’s Q and A is about a topic many contact-wearers consider: swimming.

Q: My optometrist told me not to shower or swim eyecare in my contact lenses, but I have friends who do it and never have a problem. Do I really need to take them out when I swim or shower? Kara R., Westfield, Ind. A: Kara, great question. Your optometrist is 100 percent correct. You should never swim or shower in your soft contact lenses. Soft contact lenses are a very porous material. Think of them as very tiny sponges.

They soak up everything they come in contact with.

Our tap water, lake water, pool water and other similar bodies of water contain chemicals and bacteria that are harmful to our eyes. When we are not wearing contacts, we just blink that water out of our eyes. But when we are wearing contact lenses, our lenses soak up all of those chemicals and bacteria and hold them on the cornea causing infections and irritation.

Some bacteria can actually cause blindness within 24 hours.

So listen to your optometrist. Do not swim or shower in your contact lenses.

Also, clean and discard them as they have taught you as well. But that is a discussion for another day.

Dr. Tammy Wittmann, O.D., practices at Wittmann 20/20 Family Eye Center at 2792 E. 146th St., Carmel. For more information, visit www. wittmann2020.com or call 843-2020.

Carmel mom starts cooking school business for young foodies

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Move over Mario Batali! A bunch of elementary school kids are coming for your spatula!

That’s the hope of Carmel now open resident Stephanie Drewry as she has opened her own cooking school for kids as young as 3 years old. It’s called Sprouts Cooking School, a licensed business she runs out of her home to help kids ages 3 to 11 learn how to make delicious creations in the kitchen.

The booming business — she sold out classes in her first few weeks — all started when the 33-year-old elementary education major was looking for a way to help her own kids indulge their love of food and cooking.

“They’re really inspired by Master Chef Junior and Cupcake Wars,” she said. “There’s this whole new generation of foodies, but no cooking schools for kids.”

She decided to transform a room in her Carmel house into a professional business space with real elementary school tables, specially ordered plastic safety knives for children, and pendant lighting like you’d find in a kitchen.

Fully insured and ready to go, she launched in June only to find her eight-week sessions filling up fast.

Drewry with her three children, Emma, Grace and Jack in their home studio for Sprouts Cooking School. (Submitted photo)

“I guess I found this untapped market and it’s gotten quite big,” she said. “I’m very grateful for it.”

There are three different age groups: 3 to 4, 5 to 7 and 8 to 11. She said there’s interest

in doing classes all the way up to age 13 and she’s squeezed in time to do some private birthday parties as well. She’ll offer special classes for the holidays soon.

Under constant supervision, kids make

everything from cupcakes to muffins to mini meatloafs to egg frittatas. Classes each have a theme, such as the movie “Frozen,” which allowed kids to make cupcakes inspired by the snowman Olaf. It’s like arts and crafts, but edible. And it teaches kids to follow instructions and use both fine and large motor skills, depending on their age group.

Drewry will incorporate a vocabulary word into classes, such as “sifting” or “leveling” and use the word again and again to help teach the concepts. She said it’s not only a great educational experience for kids, but she thinks it can help picky eaters try new foods.

“If they cook it themselves, they are more willing to try it,” she said.

The kids have made and tasted smoothies, vegan muffins, feta salsa and more.

All safety precautions are followed. Kids don’t work over a stove and Drewry uses the oven herself.

“Whatever your Pinterest dreams are, they’ll be in my class,” she said.

If business keeps expanding, she said she’s open to the idea of working out of a brickand-mortar building, but for now she’s happy to keep it in her home.

Make the change: Update your deck Commentary by Randy Sorrell “MASSIVE” is an accurate description of a recent Carmel deck project. As well as “livable,” “stunning” creative spaces and “incredible retreat!”

The immediate feedback is as we hoped. The joyful homeowners are commenting how it has dramatically changed how they live. If it’s nice outside, they are outside appreciating all that life has to offer. Sitting at the table, in the hot tub, or nestled in a private lounging area, the options are ambitious. It’s an imaginative discussion we have often and most of our designs are driven towards that thriving objective.

Materials We employed a diverse set of materials to pull the project together. Premium pressure treated pine was selected for the decking.

Today’s premium pine is NOT the tired material that has been used for decades. Its thicker girth commands a beefier feel under foot. It has a low propensity for splintering or warping and there are minimal knots.

A sleek handrail is contrasted with black aluminum spindles that seem to disappear, a critical feature for this leafy backyard landscape that we were fortunate to impact with

long curvilinear lines and large swathes of groundcover. Steps are wide, deep, generous and rooted with a formal blue stone landing at the lawn under mature hemlocks.

Hot tub, privacy, pergola The pictured hot tub is resting in the side

retreat area with stately lounge chairs nearby for the ultimate in relaxation.

A simple, but elegant, privacy panel was constructed to command immediate intimacy and blends well with the rest of the space.

Notice the pergola growing over a transition living space? Premium cedar was used with serious dimensioned lumber to help tame the midafternoon sun. The pergola helps drive the “sense of space” that’s imperative with large patios and decks and serves as the ceiling in the outdoor room.

Simply stunning!

Get the most out of your kitchen island Commentary by David Decker The modern kitchen fulfills many different roles. It’s a family gathering place, a house party hotspot, a homeindoor living work help center, a storage headquarters and a five-star restaurant. For many homeowners, the functionality of a kitchen begins with a well-designed island.

Islands are ideal for a variety of kitchen tasks, including cooking, baking, cleanup, storage, informal dining, entertaining party guests and more.

First, you’ll want to decide what you are going to use the island for most frequently and use those functions to devise your design and storage plan. For example, if you would like to use the island as a food prep station, include outlets for small appliances, a prep sink and storage for cooking utensils such as cutting boards, knives and mixing bowls.

If you are using the island as a dining area, make sure the countertop height is designed to fit standard chairs or stools. The island should be crafted to fit your utilitarian needs.

Because most islands require quite a bit of space, it’s important to strategically plan your design. You may want to select a move-

able island instead of a built-in, stationary one. Be sure to select an island size and style that won’t overwhelm your kitchen.

To get the most out of every square inch of your kitchen island, you’ll want an effective cabinetry design. Creating more built-in storage means your island will appear more spacious, inviting and tidy. Within your cabinetry, try installing lazy susans, pullout shelves, or deep drawers to maximize the space.

The key to creating a savvy kitchen island

is planning. Use every square inch effectively and you’ll be surprised at how your kitchen space can be transformed.

For residents of Finland, the sauna is the perfect place for many of life’s most important activities — from baking and travel bathing to building businesses and birthing babies. A Finnish proverb says, “First build the sauna; then the house.” As a result, Finland — with a population of about 5 million, — erects half of all the world’s saunas and has more saunas than automobiles. But for foreigners, Finnish sauna traditions can be a little unnerving.

The earliest Finnish saunas, developed hundreds of years ago, were constructed without chimneys, allowing smoke to fill the building as the burning wood heated the stones on which water is then poured. Many Finns still prefer these so-called “smoke saunas,” particularly for special occasions. Participants emerging from a smoke sauna may be covered from head to toe with greasy soot, which many believe has therapeutic properties. Finnish sauna users traditionally swat themselves with leafy young birch twigs, a practice they believe increases blood circulation and makes

-Janice H.

the experience more beneficial and enjoyable.

Even in winter, participants often jump into the nearest lake or pond after sweating in the hot sauna and then return for more.

Like Americans asking people to join them for lunch, Finns often ask friends and business associates to join them in the sauna.

Finns usually sit in the nude on their hard sauna benches and consider requests to wear a bathing suit at least a faux pas and perhaps an insult. Finnish men and women sometimes sauna together, as do families. They insist that the experience is never sexual because their saunas are sacred places, where swearing and even arguing are taboo.

“Sauna,” which Finns pronounce “SOW nuh,” is the only Finnish word to enter the world’s vocabulary. If you are invited to a Finnish sauna, say the word correctly and leave your modesty behind.

Have people become objects?

Commentary by Jordan Fischer Question: “Dear Grammar Guy. Over the past few years I have increasingly heard the word ‘that’ used grammar guy in place of the word ‘who.’ Example: ‘The people that work for us.’ I even hear this on national radio programs. What do you think of that?” – (Anne Eisinger) Answer: Thanks for the question, Anne. It’s a subject I’ve touched on before, but definitely one worth revisiting.

You are right to cringe when the word “that” is used to refer to a person (or animal … my cat would be the first to tell you she’s no “that”). When talking about a person, use the relative pronoun “who” or the object pronoun “whom,” if appropriate.

The word “that” gets a lot of hate in writerly circles because it tends to be unnecessary.

Consider what, if anything, is lost between, “He said that it would be all right,” and, “He said it would be all right.”

That being said (see what I did there?),

there are occasions when “that” is both appropriate and necessary. For your convenience, here are three simple rules to help clear things up: Use “who” when talking about people.

Use “that” when talking about objects or groups and introducing an essential clause.

Use “which” when talking about objects or groups and introducing a non-essential clause.

I’ve previously done a series of columns about clauses, so if you need a refresher course on the difference between an essential and nonessential clause, you can brush up with an old Grammar Guy at www.currentincarmel.com.

As always, I wouldn’t be able to do what I do without ongoing support and questions from readers, so please keep doing what you do and sending them my way!

Stepping on Legos — If you’ve ever stepped on a Lego, you’ve probably experienced a surprising amount of pain for such a small object. But why? Legos are engineered to be exceptionally durable. A 2x4 brick is designed to withstand more than 900 pounds of force. When you step on a Lego brick, you don’t weigh enough to make it give at all — which is why it hurts so much.
