The Carmel High School Ambassadors are staging one of their biggest numbers yet: a performance in fundraising efforts to ensure all 48 members of the troupe get to travel to Europe to permusic form two shows of a lifetime.

Lamonte Kuskye, head of the CHS choral department and director of the school’s show choir group, the Ambassadors, along with his co-director Ann Conrad, said their students will perform in a cabaret and silent auction Oct. 27. The event’s goal is to generate enough money for yearly expenses and enough extra to fund the overseas trip.

The Ambassadors also received an $8,000 grant from Clay Township to help them in their cause.

“We are so thankful for Clay Township’s generous grants. We can’t thank them enough,” Kuskye said.

“Now we need to continue our fundraising efforts.

This trip costs $3,700 per student.”

The European trip Kuskye is so excited about will involve travel to London and the chance to learn from a theatre group in Great Britain. The West End Kids travel all over Europe performing, and they have even performed for Queen Elizabeth, according to Kuskye.

“This trip will open up the kids’ minds, and it’s a learning experience of a lifetime,” he said. “There will be workshops for vocals and choreography proceeding the week leading to a show of a lifetime – a live performance in their own London theater with both The West End Kids and our Ambassadors.”

Kuskye has more star-studded news.

“I just received confirmation that we will be perform-

ing in the big theater at Disneyland Paris after leaving London,” he said. “They told me they are thrilled to have our kids perform. Show Choir is an American art. They don’t have many groups like us in Europe.”

Money is needed to fund these life-changing opportunities for the kids, he said. The Ambassadors are ready to sing for their supper. Their cabaret and silent auction show will be held from 3 to 6 p.m. Oct. 27 at Ritz Charles in Carmel. There will be many opportunities to donate, and the students will be able to showcase themselves through individual solos, duets and a few group pieces.

For decades, the Ambassadors sold jam. They finally let it go a few years go, according to Kuskye.

“Brought back by popular demand this year will be ‘Jammin’ with the Ambassador’s.’ Our parents and kids are working so hard to raise these funds. Many parents took days off to work at a convention downtown and have found an Amish company to supply the jam that will be in stores soon,” he said. The annual Huge Holiday Spectacular starring the entire choral department will open Dec. 4.

Tickets are $25. To buy tickets, visit www.totalgatessolutions.com.

That’s my jam! – Teams of Ambassadors will be dispatched to six local grocery stores from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Nov. 2 to sell jars of Amish jam as part of a fundraiser. Each jar will also include a recipe book.

Any unsold jam on will be sold door-to-door on Nov. 3. Jam flavors include: strawberry, blueberry and Traffic Jam (Blackberry, Rhubarb, Blueberry and Strawberry mix). To order jam via email, send orders to CarmelAmbassadors@aol.com.

School welcomes exchange students

By Katy Frantz • news@currentincarmel.com This year, University High School partnered with the Cambridge Institute, an educational consulting firm based in Boston, to expand its international student Education community.

“Having 13 international students this year is a growth for us,” Dave Vesper, assistant head of school, said of the independent high school that serves about 200 students.

Vesper said with such a small student population, the sense of community is strong at the school.

“We’ve found that the face-to-face interaction is helpful for the international students,” said Ashley Crockett-Lohr, director of communications at University.

And 15-minute morning meetings give international students the opportunity to share their culture and experiences with their classmates.

Earlier in September two students from China served moon cakes to fellow students and shared stories about the mid-autumn festival.

The school also offers a mentoring program that has proven beneficial for international students who have questions or concerns that arise. Vesper and other staff members plan to create a peer buddy system that would allow for foreign students to have a one-on-one relationship with a fellow student.

With these community-building programs

being implemented this year, the school is prepping to serve an influx of foreign students in the years to come.

For the May family, the decision to host an international student was a consensus among the entire family. After receiving an email from University about the opportunity to host a student from China, Terry and Kris May discussed the possibility and then brought it up in a family meeting.

“You would have thought we said we were going to Disneyland,” Kris said, laughing as she described her children jumping up and down with excitement.

Sylvia Qianyu Huang, a University student from China and the exchange student staying with the May family, said that she likes to be an older sister to her three host siblings.

The Mays said they have never been sorry to have Sylvia in their home. The few bumps in the road have been minor: Sylvia’s reluctance to eat leftovers - something not commonly done in Chinese culture - and the miscommunications of body language.

“Having Sylvia is a nice bonding situation for all of us. We all feel a big sense of wanting to make things comfortable for her,” Kris said to summarize the past few weeks of being a host mom.

Interested? Any family interested in hosting an international student can contact Adina Rashke at 987-7529 or araschke@gphomestay.com.

Bring a costume to this race

By Terri Spilman • news@currentincarmel.com

Take a lovely fall morning stroll around downtown Carmel and help support local teachers and students by participating in the annual Ghosts & Goblins 5k/2k and Wellness Halloween Fair on Oct. 26th.

Organizers are expecting more than 1,200 walkers and runners at this family-friendly community activity. The event generates funds and awareness of the Carmel Education Foundation’s teacher grants, student scholarships and teacher honor roll programs to support Carmel schools.

This year the Carmel Education Foundation is partnering with the National Honor Society students at Carmel High School to provide volunteer assistance with the event. The students receive credit for community service hours and learn about planning large events. They are also given the opportunity to be mentored by event committee chairs.

“They are wonderful kids; this is a great partnership,” said Stephanie McDonald, co-Executive Director of the Carmel Education Foundation.

There also is a tradition of friendly competition among the schools to see which school can generate the most participants. West Clay Elementary has won the traveling trophy for three years in a row. The middle schools compete for bannerhanging rights and this year the high school is having a competition among departments for a special prize.

The Carmel Education Foundation is a nonprofit organization formed in 1966 by local business people as one of the very first (maybe the first) community foundations to organize in support of a local school system.

This year the foundation awarded more than $12,500 in grants to teachers. The foundation also awarded a combination of about 60 endowed and annual scholarships to CHS seniors

Runners and walkers enjoy the perfect exercise weather during the Ghosts & Goblins 5k/2k. (Submitted photo.)

ranging from $500 to $6,000. The scholarships memorialize or honor teachers, administrators, coaches, students and community members.

Reading the list of scholarship namesakes is like taking a bittersweet nostalgic trip through the history of Carmel and the people who shaped it.

The teacher honor roll provides an opportunity for families to send certificates of appreciation to teachers, principals, custodians, cafeteria workers, bus drivers and other administrators.

According to McDonald, the honor roll has been a phenomenal success, and the recipients are so grateful that the family has thought of them in that way.

This year’s Ghosts & Goblins event features a reduced entry fee with an option to purchase a glow-in-the-dark T-shirt. Participants are encouraged to wear Halloween costumes and there will be a costume contest. Beat the crowd by registering from 4:30 to 7 p.m. Oct. 25 at the CHS Cafeteria, Door 7. For more information visit www.carmelghostrun.com.

Electronics recycling and shredding event – An electronics recycling, prescription disposal, shredding and used book drive event is being held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Oct. 26 at the Carmel High School stadium parking lot (NW corner of 136th and Keystone Parkway). Enter through Gate 3 and exit through Gate 4. A donation of $5 per box is requested. All proceeds benefit Crime Stoppers. Most electronics and small appliances can be recycled here. There is a $5 fee for some monitors and TVs. Also being accepted during the event are expired or unused medications and used books.

School Board recap

9

Compiled by Karen Kennedy

What happened: Nick Wahl gave the superintendent’s report on the district’s goals.

What it means: “Things are going as they should be,” said Wahl.

He presented a student-centered matrix, noting that the board’s goals need to be in line with the state’s requirements. He also spoke about the balance between student well-being and student achievement.

What’s next: In the next principals’ meeting, they will address the issue of this balance. According to Wahl, student-centered goals will be vital in the coming years.

What happened: A tentative agreement has been reached between the administration and the members of the Bus Drivers’ Association.

What it means: There were major changes to the agreement, including a 1 percent increase to the daily rate schedule, a 1 percent increase to the hourly rates and the elimination of “step 1” in the schedule (which results in a 6-step schedule in accordance with other support staff schedules.)

What’s next: The proposed action will be voted on at the next meeting.

What happened: Proposed course changes for 2014-15 were presented by Amy Dudley.

What it means: The curriculum is reviewed annually in order to provide students with the most challenging courses of study focusing on critical thinking and problem solving. The following new courses were proposed for the high school level: International Baccalaureate Computer Science and Business & Management, Advanced Science Materials Chemistry and Hebrew II. Most notable is the new Advanced Placement Capstone Program, a pilot program developed in collaboration with Cambridge University. CHS is one of 100 schools in the country selected to participate. Proposed classes for the middle school include Digital Learning I and II, which would replace Keyboarding I and II.

What’s next: The recommendations will be voted on at the next meeting.

What happened: Results of the Literacy Program evaluation were presented by Dudley, Martha McFarland and Linda Thompson.

What it means: Carmel schools received several commendations from AdvancED, through their accreditation process. These commendations included: continuous learning of staff members, continuous improvements in learning systems and significant improvement in K-8 literacy achievement from 20082013. High school reading and writing remained constant or decreased. Critical reading scores decreased by 4.6 points (on par with the national average).

Writing skills decreased by 12.6 points (quadruple the national average).

What’s next: The board recommends increasing amount of time that students spend reading and writing each day and providing more collaborative and active engagement.

Sunrise Golf Course to close

By Pete Smith • pete@youarecurrent.com

Sunrise Golf Course likely will close up shop on Oct. 31.

The nine-hole course at the southwest real estate corner of Westfield Boulevard and 99th Street was established by long-time managers Mary Ann Amore and her husband Patrick Amore.

The land was owned by noted Carmel resident Vera Hinshaw, who leased the course to the Amores. Hinshaw died Sept. 1 and her surviving family would like to sell the property, said her son, Tom Hinshaw.

The Hinshaw estate offered the Amores an 11-month lease, but the two sides couldn’t come to terms, Mary Ann Amore said.

“They just raised the price too high,” Mary Ann said, noting that they couldn’t afford the unex-

pected rent increase in the dead of winter.

Sunrise Golf Course is largely free of trees with wide open fairways, and it features a club house and driving range.

“I think it’s a wonderful ninehole course and a jewel in the recreational amenities that Carmel has within its city limits,” said local golfer Bobbi MunholStaff photo land of Carmel.

Any potential buyers will luck out because the property already is zoned for single-family residential – a huge bonus for any developer looking to build houses on the property.

It is one of only two Carmel golf courses that weren’t rezoned as parks following the city’s purchase of Brookshire Golf Course in 2007, Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said.

And as for the Amores, the loss of their family business isn’t the end.

“If we don’t do work, we’ll donate our time at a hospital,” Mary Ann said.

Gather up your household items and clothes that have outlived their usefulness. Leppert Mortuary and Crematory fundraiser Services will host a community yard sale from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Oct. 26 in its chapel parking lot at 900 N. Range Line Rd. The sale will benefit the Alzheimer’s Association – Greater Indianapolis Chapter.

“We had done an activity at an Alzheimer’s community in Carmel and that really inspired us to want to give back,” said Abbi Martzall, Leppert’s community relations coordinator. “(Alzheimer’s) hits home for many of us here and for so many others.”

Martzall and Gretchen Leppert-Watko are coordinating the yard sale.

“We are redoing our office space in Nora, and I have been clearing out the clutter in my house, so it kind of came to us,” Leppert-Watko said. “I have a car load of things right now for the sale.”

Most items will be accepted for donation to the sale.

“However, we won’t take cribs or car seats or anything like that for safety reasons. But other than that all items are fair game,” Martzall said.

“Just use your own discretion on what items you think can be sold. Our Website has a list of suggested items under the events section.”

Items already earmarked for the sale include a Nordic track classic skier, a wingback chair, two computer monitors and home décor accessories, as well as children’s items like toys. Photos of yard sale items will be posted on the mortuary’s website prior to the sale.

Items for donation can be dropped off at the Range Line Road chapel as well as the Nora Chapel on 86th Street between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m.

Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays and from 9 a.m. to noon on Sundays.

Anything not sold will be donated to the Salvation Army.

Steve Simpson, WIBC’s morning news anchor, will serve as master of ceremonies. MCL Cafeteria will provide coffee, apple cider and other refreshments.

Applefest great fun for whole family

By Chris Bavender • news@currentincarmel.com The Arts & Design District Business Association of Carmel will sponsor its second Carmel Applefest from 1 to 5 p.m. on Oct. Festival 26 in the PNC bank parking lot at the corner of Main Street and Range Line Road.

“We wanted to offer a free and fun community event for families and let them know what is all here in the district,” said Jill Zaniker, owner of Simply Sweet Shoppe. “They can explore while having a fun day of festivities all tying into scholarships and giving back to the arts.”

Applefest was created by the business association to fund three high school art contest scholarships. All high school-aged students in Hamilton County were eligible to participate in the scholarship contest that will be judged on artwork submitted by the students for exhibition.

The only requirement was that the submitted pictures must have an apple or caramel in them.

“Last year was so much fun because we got someone doing a sculpture of a tree holding an apple, we had chalk pastels, pen and ink drawings, photography – just a whole bunch of different things,” Zaniker said. “That’s what I love about art – it is just so subjective and so very true to the artists.”

In addition to the art contest entries on display, the festival will feature food, children’s games, face painting, live music and trick-or-

treating in the Arts & Design District. Children are encouraged to come in costume. Trick-or-treat bags and stickers will be provided.

Students from the School of Rock and Midwest School of Voice also will be performing onstage, as will actors from the Carmel Theatre Company.

“Most of the (association’s) businesses participate and have a tent with an activity to do. Last year I had marshmallow shooters and they could shoot an apple off a board,” Zaniker said. “We are also encouraging a lot of the restaurants to maybe have an apple special or caramel apple special to try and get everyone involved in some way.”

Arts Council to mark milestone

By Chris Bavender • news@currentincarmel.com

Mark your calendars for a not-to-be missed event. The 20th anniversary gala for the Carmel Arts Council is set for 6 p.m. Nov. 2 at gala the Lucas Sports Pavilion.

With its theme of “One Enchanted Evening,” the gala will include everything from a silent auction to dancing to the sounds of Henle and the Loops. Proceeds from the event will help benefit art scholarships for high school students.

“We held a gala for our 10th anniversary, and at that time we unveiled the plans for the Arts & Design district,” said Doreen Squire Ficara, executive director of the arts council and one of the event co-chairs. “Now, with our 20th, we are almost reinventing ourselves. We want to expand our outreach to seniors and continue to support and encourage young artists and authors.”

“We want people to come out not only to enjoy the evening but to help us carry on with our mission to reach all types of people and help bring joy by art into their world,” Squire Ficara said.

The new outreach programs will include a collaboration with Prevail to help gather art supplies for residents, art exhibits for new artists to encourage them in their work, a proposed partnership with Thornhurst residents highlighting the work of noted architect Avriel Shull and working with The Barrington of Carmel to bring the arts to older residents through new programs.

Since 1998, when the Arts Council first started

The Center for the Performing Arts also received $65,000 in 2007 from three galas held by the Council.

“Hundreds of dollars have also been given to deserving (nonprofit) groups over the years,” Squire Ficara said. “We’ve also purchased materials for Carmel Elementary’s Pinwheels for Peace project.”

French painter Henri Matisse is widely regarded as a masterful painter for his use of vibrant colors and flamboyant brush strokes.

Art Clay Middle School sixthgrader Thomas Gimeno was so moved by his artwork that he decided to enter an original drawing in the Inspired by Gimeno Matisse contest being conducted at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. Thomas is now a finalist in the prestigious exhibition, which draws from the work of students of all ages from throughout the metropolitan area.

While Thomas is competing against many older students, he has little fear articulating the process he used to make of his artwork. He describes himself as a modernist, using colors and shapes and thinking about what it all means and how it all comes together.

“I like how (modern art) isn’t just one thing and can be interpreted in many ways,” Gimeno said.

Still life drawing is not for Gimeno; in fact he describes it as flat-out boring. Perhaps that’s

why the competition process appealed to him.

He describes it as being unique and special because it gave him the opportunity to stretch his imagination.

His featured drawing, “Turtle,” was made in a free-form style. He said he came up with the idea of using color to highlight the plates of a turtle’s shell. His imagination led him to come up with the idea of using purple and yellow everywhere.

Where ever he put down the color yellow, than he would put down the purple right be-side it. The entire piece was created with the idea of using opposite colors in the color wheel to create contrast.

“I also thought about the paint, the pencil for sketching, or crayons, that I might use,” Gimeno said. “If it is a professional piece of work, then I am more thoughtful in the process.”

He said he is excited and looking forward to meeting the other artists and seeing their work during the exhibition. His work was sponsored by his art teacher, Gwen D’Addario.

Audit: Flawed bookkeeping at CRC

By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com

The Indiana State Board of Accounts recently released the 2012 Carmel Redevelopment Commission audit report. While government the records and accountability for cash and other assets were satisfactory, the report did make note of two significant problems at the CRC. The first was that the CRC was using Microsoft Excel software to manage its books.

The audit noted that the state requires the use of Form 208 for ledger receipts, disbursements and balances. The state forbids the use of Excel as this system makes a full audit trail impossible and allows for permanent removal of an entry from the records.

The second was that the audit found uncollected revenues totaling $835,339.08. This amount breaks down as follows: • The CRC has a parking and grant agreement with the Carmel City Center Community Development Corporation to receive a $2.50 surcharge for each ticket sold at the Palladium. A total of 81,330 tickets were sold in 2012. This should have resulted in a collection of $203,325, but only $173,860.62 was collected, leaving a deficit of $29,464.38.

• The CRC has energy consumption agreements with each of the following: City Hall, the police and fire departments, the Palladium, the Office Building and Booth Tarking-

ton Theatre. Collections from these entities should have totaled $1,343,697.60, but only $555,822.90 was collected, leaving a deficit of $787,874.70 uncollected.

• The CRC was owed $24,000.00 in rent from Shapiro’s. Only $6,000.00 was collected, leaving a deficit of $18,000.00 uncollected.

The audit found that receipts were only issued for 73 percent of revenues received. The audit also outlined concerns with the ways in which tax-increment finance funds were allocated and accounted for, specifically that the CRC granted these funds to the 4CDC, which is a non-governmental entity, “for uses that cannot be verified.”

“The process is flawed,” City Councilor Luci Snyder said. “The state has no recourse. There is no mechanism with which the state can enforce the standards they’ve established. Their report merely points out that the CRC’s financial responsibility and bookkeeping, under the direction of Les Olds, was very lax.”

While Mayor Jim Brainard declined to comment on the report as a whole, he did point out that the state board’s accounting standards still call for use of a traditional paper receipt book, which he said does not allow for more modern payment techniques such as electronic wire transfers.

Resignations: Les Olds, embattled former executive director of the CRC, resigns from city service as does CRC employee Matt Worthley. For more on this story visit www.currentincarmel.com

The big payoff

COMMUNITY

A young girl’s hard work and love for horses has brought her to the forefront of international competition

By Abby Walton • news@currentincarmel.com

For many kids, one of the fastest things they can learn to ride is a bike. But for Faith Robbins of Carmel, that wasn’t the case. She wanted to learn how to ride somecover story thing a bit bigger.

“When Faith was young, we would take vacations at a ranch in Colorado,” said her mother, Lori Robbins. “You had to be at least 6 years old to ride the horses, but at age 4 she talked one of the trainers into letting her ride.”

Faith’s mother said the night before, they’d been to a rodeo and her daughter couldn’t take her eyes off the people who rode the bucking broncos.

“Well, the horse she was riding must’ve been bit by a fly because it started to lay down and roll over onto its back,” Lori Robbins said. “Here I am thinking this horse is going to roll over on my daughter. However to my amazement and the trainer’s, she mimicked those cowboys and got off the horse within seconds, totally unharmed,” Lori said.

At that point it was pretty apparent that Faith’s love for riding was more than just a phase.

“She was such a daredevil and even at 6, wanted to become a barrel racer,” her mother said.

But living in Indiana meant very few rodeos and even fewer people who taught that style of riding.

Lori Robbins said her daughter knew she was meant to ride, and Faith kept at her parents until they found the Select Show Horses training facility in Sheridan.

Mentally and physically strong

Owned and operated by Dalton Budd and Kellie Wendling, Select Horses is one of the premiere Arabian and Half-Arabian training, showing and breeding facilities in the country.

In 2007, at just 7 years old, Faith went from wanting to barrel race to learning how to ride saddle-seat.

This type of horseback riding is rooted in the English style of riding. The focus is to show off the high trotting action of certain breeds of horses.

As an example, Wendling advises people to picture the way the Queen of England’s horses move down the streets of London. With their legs rising up high and their steady movements, saddle-seat is all about the way a horse and its rider carry themselves while doing very specific movements.

“It’s not easy because a person has to be mentally and physically strong,” Wendling said.

Faith was and still is up for the challenge.

“She’s such a talented kid. She puts in so much hard work and is really focused,” Wendling said.

Committed and passionate

This year, 14-year-old Faith started her

freshman year at Cathedral High School. And cramming in training time with a high school workload has been a transition.

“I really have to use my study hall,” she said.

Once school is done, Faith heads to the barn and trains for the rest of the day.

“I sometimes even head over there on Saturdays,” she said.

It’s this type of dedication that’s made Faith one of the top saddle-seat riders in the nation.

Last month, Faith won her age division in the National Show Horse Finals.

“For a teenager, there are so many distractions like technology or school events, but Faith is so committed and passionate about her riding. She really is a special kid,” Wendling said.

For a person who has won many accolades in her sport, Faith is quite humble about it all.

“I really love what I do, and it’s a bonus when all that hard work pays off,” she said.

After winning at the National Show Horse Finals, Faith received word of another big payoff. After auditioning two years in a row, she was chosen to try out for the 2014 Saddle-Seat World Cup Team. Made up of 13- to 22-year-olds, the cup team is the highest level of international saddle-seat competition.

Anyone can learn to ride Staff report

For anybody who has ever dreamed of having a horse, Select Show Horses in Sheridan is a good place to take the first step in that direction.

“We do everything from beginners that haven’t been on a horse before … to people who want to take it to the next level,” said instructor Cheryl Wendling.

For beginners who just want to learn how to ride, owning a horse isn’t a requirement.

The beginner level courses at Select Show Horses usually involve riding once a week for 10 weeks, and they often take place on trails at state parks, Wendling said.

If students demonstrate the interest and commitment necessary to work on showing horses in competition, they can advance to the academy show program. These riders typically practice twice a week in order to

compete in showcases conducted in surrounding states during the spring, Wendling said.

After two seasons in the show program, students can choose to pursue advanced training for Class A, regional and national competitions. At this point in training students are required to purchase their own show horse – which usually costs about $10,000, Wendling said.

Students at Select Show Horses start as young as 5½ years old, but there is no upper age limit.

“You’re never too old,” Wendling said.

And lessons last through most of the year except when the high for the day is expected to not reach at least 25 degrees.

Horses are kept at the school and are hand-walked and trained everyday by the school’s three trainers.

Select Show Horses has been in business for eight years in Sheridan, and maintains a 38-stall barn and a large indoor arena, but Wendling said it is considering expanding.

“We are always looking for people who are excited about this,” Wendling said.

FR O M T H E BACKSHOP Mayor gets behind violence awareness

Just say no It is our position that substance abuse and addiction cause a major burden to society. Red Ribbon Week is traditionally observed the last week in October as an opportunity to talk to our children and the children in our lives about the dangers of drug abuse.

Most elementary-aged children will wear their red ribbon with pride as they tote their backpacks home for the evening. Unfortunately, the schools can’t control what happens after the child leaves school property. Far too many children are exposed to drug and substance abuse at home. What happens along the way that changes the wide-eyed innocent child who knows drugs are bad into an abuser? Boredom, heredity and environment likely play a role. We’ve turned into a society that breathalyses students before events and urine tests them when they get home, all in the name of safety because the technology is available.

Can law enforcement keep up with regulating the list of household ingredients used to manufacture new drugs? Should non-users have to suffer the consequences? Legalizing the “not so bad” drugs hardly seems like the correct answer. While it may seem trite and simplistic, in the words of former first lady Nancy Reagan, “Just say, NO.”

Wanna write us a letter? You can do it a couple ways. E-mailing it to info@currentincarmel.com is the quickest and easiest. The old-fashioned way is to snail mail it to Current in Carmel, 30 S. Range Line Road, Carmel, IN 46032. Keep letters to 200 words max (we may make exceptions), and be sure to include your home ZIP code and a daytime number for verification.

It’s time to celebrate Commentary by Terry Anker Each year the community foundation of Hamilton County, The Legacy Fund, brings together a room full of the most generous philanthropists, volunteers and just plain good folks with the leadership of 50 or so area nonprofits. The stated objective for the Celebration of Philanthropy is to award the Living Legacy Award, which acknowledges an individual or family who, through their lifetime, has made a particularly important contribution to our community as a philanthropist. The foundation has done a nice job in both recognizing the best among us and inspiring others to consider their own giving. This year’s recipients (look for an announcement of the family in the coming weeks) are no exception to those who have come before.

Perhaps even more importantly, the event (Nov. 14 at the Ritz Charles in Carmel) encourages nonprofit organizations to interact directly with the scores of donors active in our county. Equally compelling is the opportunity for existing and potential

board members to meet and exchange ideas with the assembled power-house of community service talent. Over the years, board directors and funders have been introduced to scores of innovative and thoughtful public-serving organizations and their leaders. In bringing these ingredients together, countless new ideas and enhancements to existing work have benefitted (and continues to bring extensive value to) our community.

If you care about giving, plan to attend. If you care about those who work to support the arts, the needy and those most at risk, plan to attend. If you are looking to have a fun evening, plan to attend.

Check out Legacy Fund at www.legacyfund.org or on Facebook for more information or to watch the great videos on previous winners – they are inspiring. Or, call Kerry Byrne at Legacy Fund 843-2479.

As you might know, Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard proclaimed October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month. It’s a noteworthy proclamation, and Hamilton County’s own Prevail, Inc., which advocates for victims of crime and abuse, has been putting on something of a full-court press to make sure everyone is cognizant of what moves in our community, possibly even in the house next door. The numbers are at once frightening and staggering, which, we presume, led Brainard to issue the proclamation. In 2012, alone, Prevail served 2,981 unduplicated clients, a 9 percent increase over 2011. Females represented 78 percent of the clients, and, respectively, 35 percent and 63 percent reported incomes of less than $5,000 and $35,000. Shockingly, 24 percent were 18 years old or younger. The fact that blew us away the most was this: Most victims knew their offender. According to Prevail, 42 percent experienced it at the hands of a spouse or immediate partner, 26 percent identified a family member, 19 percent an acquaintance, 11 percent someone considered a date and in only 2 percent of the cases was the perpetrator considered a stranger. It really makes you think. Congrats to Brainard - and, clearly, to Prevail – for keeping the topic in front of our citizens. For more information, please visit www.prevailofhamiltoncounty.org.

••• Illinois Street needs to be extended, this much we know. What we don’t want, though, is a special benefits tax to guarantee the debt payments associated with the project if the city can’t otherwise pay for it. It goes like this: If you can’t afford it, you just don’t do it – need or otherwise. We’re told that there exists the possibility that older debt associated with the construction of the former Clarian North Hospital could be refinanced into the new bond and also get a SBT attached to it. Again, this makes us nervous. Stay tuned. We will.

cated she feels she has no reason to recuse herself from voting - including on the upcoming budget - the Council will have to continually ask her to refrain from voting on matters which could affect the amount of your tax dollars she might receive.

Because she has put herself in this position, when she did not have to due to the fact that her suit has a small number of other plaintiffs, she has placed both the Council and her constituents in an awkward position.

Because this situation could take two or more years to resolve, I asked her to resign her position as a Carmel City Council member rather than to simply abstain from voting on the budget.

I have suggested that her ability to represent the people living in her district has been so compromised that she should step aside and let the precinct committee chairs, as provided by Indiana statute, appoint a new council member to represent the taxpayers of the Southwest District.

In a time and place when the actions of many public officials and public bodies are eliciting from constituents the comment, “Duh, what were you thinking?” it is incumbent upon Schleif to rethink her position, which she has stated as, “My legal counsel has said I have no conflict of interest. I won’t recuse myself from voting.”

For the good of all Carmel taxpayers she needs to resign.

made in the settlement agreement.

As a member of the city council, Schleif has continued to urge the mayor to comply with the dates and substance of the agreement through emails, letters and meetings. The city council has generally been supportive, but ultimately only the mayor and his administration could implement the terms of the agreement.

City Councilors Ron Carter and Sue Finkam have both asserted that Schleif “stands to personally receive a cash payment” from the lawsuit. NOAX has committed that the only remedies it will seek are (1) enforcement of the settlement agreement; (2) obtaining an injunction against the collection of taxes until the terms have been fulfilled or (3) disannexation; whichever the court believes is most appropriate under the circumstances.

The statute does allow a plaintiff to recover 1¼ times the property taxes they have paid, but neither Schleif nor the other NOAX board members have ever sought any benefit that is not extended to all Southwest Clay Township residents.

Schleif and all Carmel residents should be asking the mayor to perform the commitments made by Carmel in-full and complete good faith.

If Carmel had kept its promises, there would be no need for this litigation.

Some of the emails I get in response to my column are hilarious. Apparently, a good portion of the northern Indianapolis humor suburbs are full of perfect wives and mothers who feel it is their right, nay their Jesus-driven duty, to point out my flaws and offer me advice on how to have the perfect family. Here are some of their suggestions.

1. Never ever lose your temper. Good mothers don’t freak out when their daughters spill nail polish remover on antique maple tables. Shame on you for throwing a casserole dish.

2. Never try and spice up your marriage by watching an R-rated movie with Scarlett Johansson or Brad Pitt. Violence and sex should be banned from theaters. Clearly you’re headed for divorce if you can’t find inspiration at church. Sinner!

3. Never become frustrated with your spouse! The perfect wife will have her hair coiffed and make-up on, ready to serve a home-cooked gourmet meal to her husband when he returns from his hard day at work. He does not want to hear about your hectic afternoon nor does he have the time to clean up after himself. Stop pestering and start doting.

4. Never say anything bad about your children! Babies are a gift from God and those belonging to a good mom would never lie, cheat, or choose X-box over homework.

Heaven-bound kids are always bathed, behaved and beautiful.

5. Never consider plastic surgery. Stretch marks and saggy boobs are Jesus’ gift to you for bearing precious little angels. Stop being so selfish and join the PTO. Oh, you work full-time? The horror! Your kids are going to all end up in prison.

I think what these women really want me to do is stop being honest, because the truth is, life is not always awesome.

Kids sometimes stink, and so do husbands, and, occasionally, I would like to sport a C-cup bra. Why can’t we embrace the difficulties of parenthood and marriage, find some humor in them, and congratulate each other on trying our best?

Why must it always be about who’s the better mom/wife and who’s got the most perfect life?

Gag. I’m just trying to make sure my kids wear deodorant and have lunch money on most days; I don’t have the energy to mask my feelings and pretend like I’m thrilled to be vacuuming when all I really want to is to chug a bottle of Cabernet.

So we’re not perfect. So we don’t always want to spend time with our kids. So what if we complain about our husbands being thoughtless pigs?

If being the perfect mom and wife means never expressing how I truly feel, then I’ll take being mediocre any day. Peace out.

READER’S VIEW Attention, parents! Teachers at work Editor, Parents, are you aware your children’s teachers are working without a contract and that they are the most underpaid teachers in the state?

You voted yes to a referendum to support our classrooms, but where is the money being used?

Of course, they are very dedicated. Of course there is no threat of a strike. They became teachers to teach our children. They should be fairly compensated for all they do, but they are not. Sadly, many are leaving the profession altogether.

Carmel Clay Schools is an exceptional, excellent school system but the teachers are being taken advantage of. Our scores are consistently No. 1 in the state, our sports are No. 1 in the state and the Carmel Clay administration is the best paid administration in the state. So why not the teachers? Why can’t the teacher’s salaries even begin to compare with surrounding comparable districts? Why does a Carmel schools bus mechanic make more than a CCS teacher?

Our teachers work late, have more and more

piled on their shoulders, and for the most part, the majority just continue to go over and above.

But they are clearly being over-worked and taken advantage of. Ten- to twelve-hour days are not uncommon for any elementary school teacher I know. Their working hours, combined with their weekend hours, easily negate any naysayers’ ignorant retort of: “But they get the summers off.”

Something needs to change somewhere.

Good teachers are leaving our district to teach at other schools. Teachers are resigning midyear. The best teachers will be snapped up by surrounding areas, and I fear we will soon begin to see a decline in our schools. What about your property values?

I just hope you are aware and give your child’s teacher all the gratitude and support you can.

More importantly, please join me in inundating the Carmel Clay School Board with your feelings on how our teachers should be supported (ccsboard@ccs.k12.in.us). Talk to your neighbors.

Spread the word. Our teachers deserve more.

Masquerade on Main raising spirits and funds

By Dawn Pearson • editorial@yoaurecurrent.com

What better place to have a celebration of All Hallow’s Eve, (aka Halloween) through elaborate costumes, good food, enterDiversion tainment and great prizes, then at The Sanctuary, a Victorian church built in the 1800‘s located on Main Street in downtown Zionsville and home to Nancy Noel’s studio.

“As an artist and person I love the psyche of why people do what they do. I want The Sanctuary to be a place where good things happen and elevated thinking happens. I do have a lot of Noel skeletons in my paintings, but it’s the yin and the yang, not good and bad,” she described. “People have fears. The Sanctuary is all about positive thinking, fun and spiritual freedom.”

At the inaugural “Masquerade on Main” last year about 175 people attended and they are expecting more to dress up and attend this year according Kathy Pierle, spokesperson for The Sanctuary.

The United Methodist Children’s Home in Lebanon is this year’s recipient of 50 percent of proceeds. The organization first served as a home for orphans and is currently operating as a treatment facility dedicated to helping emotionally troubled youth struggling with a variety of challenges and proceeds raised will assist with their needs in the upcoming holiday season.

“We really think that they make a significant impact to the community and we are thrilled to be connected with them,” Pierle said. Noel added “They’ve been in business 100 years and they are a wonderful family style refuge for kids that struggle.”

This year’s “Masquerade on Main” will be held Oct. 26 from 7 to 11 p.m. at The Sanctuary, 75 N. Main St., Zionsville.

A seasonal menu of appetizing items from Noel’s Colours Restaurant will be served and included in the price of admissions. Due to Noel’s love of costumes, there will be a “Best Costume” contest judged by local celebrity judges, on-air personalities and Noel herself. The selected winners will receive limited edition prints of Noel’s art ranging in values from $25-500. In addition to the costume contest there will be musical entertainment, tarot card and reiki readings, paranormal investigations, and angel readings.

There will also be a cash bar.

Ticket’s are $25 per person and $30 at the door. All are welcome to attend and costumes are strongly encouraged but not required. To

“Halloween for me is about getting dressed up in disguise, having fun, art and witnessing other peoples’ art,” Noel said. “Last year’s guests that came in costume were a variety of people and loved the idea about participating, dressing up and celebrating in costumes. I loved it!”

Nothing scarier than the woods

By Terri Spilman • editorial@youarecurrent.com

Running frantically through the dark woods trying to escape a masked park ranger with a chain saw doesn’t normally halloween conjure up a sense of fun unless it’s during the Haunted Trails of Cool Creek Park annual Halloween event.

This year’s Haunted Trails will feature guided group tours through several different ghoul- and ghost-themed fright stations along the park’s trails and paths for thrill seekers older than 12.

Over the years, Haunted Trails has evolved into a community fundraiser, and the fright stations are staffed by civic organizations and school groups who actually write their own scripts and choreograph each fright station in accordance with guidelines set by event organizers.

This year’s Haunted Trails event also will include pyro-entertainment on a stage at the Cool Creek Music Pavilion, along with musical and video entertainment, hay rides, a camp fire and storytelling.

Food and refreshments will be available for purchase at the Friends of Hamilton County Parks booth with proceeds benefiting the foundation and its efforts to maintain and support the parks.

A non-scary area, the Trick-or-Treat trail features activities, nature programming and smaller, less-scary and non-spooky trails for those

Trick or Treat Times

Try it in 3-D! younger than 12 years old. Treats also will be available for the little ones in the Trick-or-Treat Trail area.

“If we do our job, we’ll get some screams and fun shouts,” said Don Nicholls, Resource Development Specialist with Hamilton County Parks & Recreation. “We’re not really trying to compete with scare factories – Haunted Trails is more of a scaled down community event.”

The Haunted Trails • 7 to 10 p.m. Oct. 22 through 24 • Cool Creek Park, 2000 E. 151st St., Westfield • For more information visit www. myhamiltoncountyparks.com.

Local ghosts visit Haunted Prairie

By Nancy Edwards • nancy@youarecurrent.com

Ghost stories are as common during Halloween as trick-or-treating and bobbing for apples.

Local residents may be surhalloween prised to learn that Fishers has haunted roots too.

Haunted Prairie: A Hidden History of Conner Prairie, explains the history of local legends. Visitors will hear supernatural stories and personal accounts of unexplained phenomena on the property of Conner Prairie Interactive History Park through a nighttime guided tour including 1836 Prairietown, 1963 Civil War Journey, Conner Homestead and the Chinese House. Guests will hear the story behind Heady Hollow, an area on Allisonville Road near 126th Street. The region has a cemetery and is named after early 19th century settlers, James and Dorothy Heady, according to Rosie Arnold, education programs manager for Conner Prairie. Arnold has heard several myths, including stories of a grave robber named Ebenezer Heady and a fire that burned down a schoolhouse, killing several children.

“What seems to be the most common, though, is people reporting hearing strange noises, including hoof beats as though they are being chased by someone on horseback, and seeing apparitions,” she said.

A famous tale includes that of a Noblesville attorney who drove his Model T through the Heady Hollow and stopped in the road because he said he saw a ghost standing there.

“Legends say that the ghosts may be the spirits of highwaymen who would rob travelers on the road and hide out in the woods around the hollow or of the highwaymen’s victims themselves,” Arnold said.

A confirmed story involves Hamp West, a grave robber who lived in the area that is now the Sunblest subdivision at 116th Street near Lantern Road. When West dug up graves, he took the cadavers and sold them to the medical

school in Indianapolis.

“If the bodies had reached a state of decay so that they were no longer usable, he is said to have boiled the bodies to remove the flesh so that he could then sell the skeleton,” Arnold said.

In 1903, West was sentenced to prison and died one year later from stomach cancer.

Haunted Prairie: A Hidden History of Conner Prairie, will be held on Oct 30 and 31 from 7 to 9 p.m. Tours leave every 30 minutes. The cost for non-members age 12 and over is $15; members pay $13. Guests under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Conner Prairie Interactive History Park is located at 13400 Allisonville Rd., Fishers. Please contact Guest Services at 776-6006.

Halloween Bloody Baked Rats

2 pounds ground beef 1/2 onion, chopped 1 egg, beaten 1 cup dry bread crumbs 1 1.25-ounce packet meatloaf seasoning mix 1 cup cubed Cheddar cheese 3 10-ounce cans tomato sauce 1 cup white sugar 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 1 ounce uncooked spaghetti, broken into fourths • 1/2 carrot, cut into 1/8-inch thick slices • 1 Tablespoon frozen green peas Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, onion, egg, bread crumbs and meatloaf seasoning. Use your hands to mix until well blended. Measure out 1/3 cupfuls of meat mixture and mold around a cube of cheese like a meatball. Shape into a point at one end and lengthen the body a bit by rolling between your hands.

Place your “rat”’ in a shallow baking dish and continue with the remaining meat. Insert pieces of uncooked spaghetti into the rounded end of the rats to make tails. In a medium bowl, stir together the tomato sauce, sugar and Worcestershire sauce.

Pour over rats in the dish and cover with a lid or

aluminum foil. Bake for 45 minutes. Uncover the dish and continue to bake for another 20 to 30 minutes, basting occasionally with the sauce to glaze the rats. While the rats finish baking, heat peas and carrots in a small bowl in the microwave for about 15 seconds. Carefully transfer the rats to a serving platter so that their delicate tails don’t fall off. Press peas into the pointy end to make eyes, and insert carrot slices to make ears. Spoon some of the tomato sauce around them and serve.

Brain Hemorrhage

• 1 fluid ounce chilled peach Schnapps • 1 teaspoon chilled Irish cream liqueur • 1 splash chilled grenadine syrup Pour Schnapps into a shot glass. Very gently pour Irish cream liqueur over Schnapps. Wait until the Irish cream liqueur begins to clump and “curdle” to look like a brain - just a few moments. Gently pour a tiny amount of grenadine “blood” over the brain. Watch your guests gag over the look of one of the nastiest-looking (but yummy) Halloween drinks around.

Dr. Todd Walters invites you to an open house to introduce his newly opened dental office, “Smile Generators” to Carmel, Westfield, Noblesville, Fishers and the Indianapolis area. “Smile Generators” is in a newly constructed building and features state of the art building materials and dental equipment designed to accommodate all patients. It has a pleasing décor, a friendly staff, and a children’s play area, specially designed to occupy their minds while waiting.

To make this open house a unique and memorable occasion for the entire family, Dr. Walters is pleased to have present two well-known personalities.

One of these is former Harlem Globetrotter, Hallie Bryant, an internationally known edutainer and public speaker as well as the author of “Breaking the Code” The other is Dr. Greg Bell, the 1956 Olympic champion in the long jump and a dentist who is still practicing after 52 years. In addition to his gold medal, he is a member of the United States Track and Field Hall of Fame.

He has also authored a book of poetry and his autobiography, “The Longest Leap”.

They will be present from 10:00 am until 1:00 pm Both of these gentlemen are graduates of Indiana University and are members of the I.U. Athletic Hall of Fame.

As a special treat, these gentlemen will have with them their “tools of their trade”: an Olympic Gold Medal and a red, white and blue basketball, emblematic of the world-famous “Harlem Globetrotters”.

Attendees will be given opportunities to interact with, obtain autographs, and have photos taken with each individual or both and their “tools of their trade”.

Halloween Fruit Apple Teeth Treats

• 4 honeycrisp apples, cored and quartered • 1 teaspoon lemon juice, optional • 1 2.25-ounce package blanched slivered almonds With a small, sharp paring knife, cut a lengthwise wedge from the skin side of each apple quarter, leaving the peel around the wedge for lips. If desired, rub the cut portions of the apple quarters with lemon juice to prevent browning. Poke 5 or 6 slivered almonds into the top and bottom of the cut-out area to make snaggly teeth.

• 2 Tablespoons butterscotch topping • 1 cup soda water • 1 cup cream soda • 2 Tablespoons whipped cream • 2 Tablespoons caramel sauce • 1 pinch salt Chill a glass mug in the freezer for at least 15 minutes. Combine the butterscotch topping and soda water in the chilled mug; stir until thoroughly mixed. Pour the cream soda into the mug.

Stir the whipped cream, caramel sauce and salt together in a small bowl; spoon atop the soda mixture. Stir lightly - it will froth.

First, make sure your teen keeps her grades up. A good majority of carriers offer discounts for teens that maintain a “B” average or higher.

Next, make sure your teen completes a driver education class.

Lastly, make sure you pay attention to our claim prevention ideas and follow all of the current laws and regulations.

Adding a new driver to your policy is as easy as giving your independent agent a phone call or an email. We will need the new driver’s license number, name and the vehicle that they will be driving.

If you’re adding a new vehicle, we will also need the VIN (vehicle identification number) for the new auto.

The type of vehicle your teen drives is a major factor in the cost of coverage. It’s a pretty simple concept. The car you want them to drive (a fourdoor sedan) is going to cost a lot less to insure when compared to the car they want to drive (a coupe, convertible or sports car).

Modifying your coverage limits is a subject you

should run by your independent agent. What I would recommend depends greatly on your own circumstances and risk tolerance. I will say that the state minimum limits are inadequate and should only be used if financially necessary. The leading cause of death for U.S. teens is motor vehicle crashes. Teens are at risk because they are more likely to drive aggressively, to not wear seatbelts and to underestimate the dangers associated with hazardous driving situations. When we talk about claim prevention, we’re talking about minimizing the risk of those three things.

The most straight forward approach to prevention is to just put it all down on paper and create a Teen-Parent Driving Contract. The contract will spell out your expectations on anything you feel like addressing along with the punishment for breaking the contract. We recommend addressing some or all of these issues in your Teen-Parent Driving Contract: • Make sure every person in the vehicle is wearing a seatbelt.

• Never use a cell phone while driving.

• Limit the number of passengers in the vehicle.

• Make sure you are familiar with our current Graduated Drivers License laws Note: Current laws and regulations can be viewed at www.iihs.org.

Home prices up in Carmel

Commentary by Jim Litten

With 1,921 home sales in September in central Indiana, overall year-to-date sales are up 17.8 percent compared to this time period last year, according to statistics real esate compiled by F.C. Tucker Company.

On a monthly basis, September 2013 home sales declined 1.6 percent compared to September 2012, a decrease of 31 homes sold in the nine counties that F.C. Tucker tracks. Four of the nine counties reported increased sales compared to September 2012.

Although September home sales slipped slightly in Hamilton County, sales are still trending upward for the first nine months of 2013, compared to the same time period last year.

• In Hamilton County, overall year-to-date home sales climbed to 5,336 – an increase of 895 homes compared to the same time period in 2012.

• September 2013 home sales in Hamilton County dipped 6.7 percent to 405 homes – down 29 homes from September 2012.

• Specifically in Carmel, 118 homes sold in September 2013, a decrease of 10 homes compared to September 2012.

• Available homes are spending less time

on the market in Carmel. For the first nine months of this year, homes spent an average of 75 days for sale. During the same time period last year, homes spent 93 days on the market.

• Sales prices increased in Carmel. Last month, the average sales price climbed slightly to $316,638 – up 2.0 percent from September 2012.

• Of the home sales in Carmel last month, one was priced in the $1-$2 million range; 17 were priced $500,000 to $1 million ; 34 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 39 were priced $200,000 to 299,999; 24 were priced $100,000 to $199,999; and three were priced at $99,999 or less.

As we close the third quarter of 2013, we remain optimistic that the Central Indiana real estate market will continue to improve. Across the nine counties that F.C. Tucker tracks, home sales and home prices are up while the number of available homes for sale are down, which will help the market further stabilize.

Keith Albrecht Sahasra Baahu (Submtited photo)

A temple without its soul

Commentary by Donald Knebel

Near the city of Udaipur in northwest India is a Hindu temple complex called Sahasra Baahu, built more than 1,000 years ago. travel The intricate stone carvings both inside and out reflect countless hours of tedious effort. However, the complex and the extraordinary human effort it represents now lie abandoned, not because no worshippers are nearby but because the temple has literally lost its soul.

For most Hindus, the ultimate reality of the universe is “Brahman,” a transcendent and unknowable power behind and beyond all existence. The many images of Hindu gods found throughout India are embraceable manifestations of the divine, worshipped by people incapable of wrapping their minds around the incomprehensible nature of Brahman. Somewhat like Christians with a guardian angel, many Hindus consider themselves monotheists despite praying to specific manifestations of the ultimate reality for help and guidance.

To worship their chosen manifestations of Brahman, Hindus have long built temples having the essential characteristics of temples everywhere. At the center is the Holy of Holies, where the statutory image resides. Above the Holy of Holies, a pyramid-shaped tower points toward

the heavens. On the walls are carvings having religious significance.

Surprising to many Christians, for whom God and sexual pleasure don’t usually mix, the walls of Hindu temples often contain explicit sex scenes, not always procreative. Hindus find the divine in all human activity and nothing is shameful about the desire for pleasure. The wildly colorful exteriors of many Hindu temples demonstrate this same idea.

When Sahasra Baahu was completed in the 10th or 11th century, a stone image of the god Vishnu was placed in the Holy of Holies. A priest then called the power of Brahman into the statue. Once so consecrated, the temple became alive and worshippers could experience the divine within it.

Today, no image resides in Sahasra Baahu’s Holy of Holies. Probably hundreds of years ago, the statue was damaged - likely by persons opposing Hindu beliefs. As a result, the temple died, never to live again. With the spirit of the eternal Brahman missing, the magnificent stone carvings have no more spiritual significance than a pile of rocks.

Fun with contronyms

Commentary by Jordan Fischer

I had the distinct honor and privilege of taking part in the wedding ceremony of a dear friend (and former Current grammar guy editor) last weekend. An opportunity for a column sprang forth from the event.

As part of his reading, the officiant examined the word “cleave,” which can mean both “to separate from” and “to adhere firmly to.” “Cleave” is a contronym: a word with multiple meanings, at least one of which is the reverse of its other meanings.

Contronyms are also called auto-antonyms or, my personal favorite, antagonyms. They occur when distinct words morph through time to have the same form, or when words evolve to have multiple, contradictory meanings.

You can get a lot of fun wordplay out of contronyms, especially in poetry – or, as much fun as people who aren’t weird poetry nerds like me can have. They’re a good talking piece too, though. In the interest of augmenting your linguistic party banter repertoire, here are some other contronyms to keep in the quiver: “Fast” can mean both “moving quickly” and “not moving,” i.e. “The truck is stuck fast in the mud.”

“Off” can mean both “deactivated” and “activated:” “I turned off the alarm after it went off.”

“Oversight” can mean both “supervision” and “something overlooked:” “We need more oversight of employees to prevent further costly oversights.”

“Splice,” much like “cleave,” can mean both “to join” and “to separate.”

“Consult” can mean both asking for advice and giving advice.

“Garnish” can mean both “to add to” or “embellish” and “to take away,” i.e. “My wages were garnished after I failed to pay court fees.”

Many of these words became contronyms through natural processes as our language formed, and so their contradictory meanings do not seem strange to us. Consider a more contemporary example: the word “literally.”

“Literally” means “in actuality.” However, through its constant misuse, Merriam-Webster now says the word can be defined as “figuratively,” an antonym. Though I find this situation particularly groan-inducing, there you have it: the evolution of language in action. It’s both beautiful and terrible – like a lion hunting a gazelle. Or, you know, something less dramatic.

Planning the patio

Commentary by Randy Sorrell

This naturally modern outdoor living space is packed with customized features and unique materials. outdoors You will not see anything like this in your favorite paver brochure or your neighbor’s back yard. This was precisely the client’s hope and our vision.

Although very recently completed, it immediately feels warm and livable as a result of the rich color palate selected and mammoth 4 x 4-foot irregular natural flagstone embedded into the crushed stone patio. Never heard of a crushed stone patio? Most haven’t and the usual reaction is not favorable. But, now that you have learned about this crunchy option, notice how often it pops up in your insanely sophisticated outdoor living catalogs like Frontgate or your favorite fashion magazine. Sophisticated, elegant, natural, warm and textured are adjectives often associated with this costeffective alternative.

My rotary buddy and his wife are already planning a few parties to show the space off and I’m hoping for an invite. They especially love how the materials all merge together. While there is a huge variety of upscale materials, it doesn’t feel that way.

Materials and privacy The Tennessee Valley flagstone slabs merges into the crushed royal brassfields gravel patio surface that seamlessly folds into the chocolate stone used to construct the oversized fire feature. Azek decking behaves elegantly as both the gracious landing outside the new back door as well as the day bed/seating bench embracing the patio. Rough sawn cedar with galvanized poles strategically placed overhead pulls in the galvanized facia on the ends of the bench.

Privacy seems to be a common discussion. And while we love our neighbors, we simply don’t want to hang out with them every evening as we celebrate life in our cool new space. Right? These steel privacy panels were custom designed and then water jet cut to our specifications.

Suspended from detailed posts, they work well with the pergola and add a wonderful focal point as well as a conversation piece.

Let these rich materials inspire ideas into your outdoor world and living space.

A guide to choosing hardwood floors

Commentary by David Decker

Because of its versatile style, natural feeling and durable structure, hardwood has remained one of the most enduringly indoors trendy flooring options for generations. Unlike other flooring trends that come and go, hardwood flooring has remained popular for more than 200 years.

Choosing hardwood flooring is clearly a safe investment for homeowners. However, hardwood flooring isn’t the perfect solution for every space.

There are a number of facts and considerations that you should know before installing hardwood flooring.

Before installing hardwood, you’ll want to survey and inspect the room. Certain types of hardwood are susceptible to moisture, which can cause the wood to splinter or bend. Hardwood flooring also tends to be a bit noisy. If you choose to install hardwood in a central room, you may want to invest in rugs or pieces of furniture that absorb sound to keep movement muffled.

Additionally, excessive amounts of foot traffic can cause wear and tear to the planks. Scuffed and scratched floors can be refinished, but this process can get costly, especially if you choose a softer wood that needs frequent repair.

After you’ve decided whether the room is a good fit for hardwood flooring, you’ll have to decide the type and style of plank you’d like to install. Hardwood can be divided into two main

categories: solid and engineered. Solid hardwood is made from pure, solid wood planks. Engineered hardwood is made from pressed plywood that uses a thin wood veneer as the top layer.

Because it is made from bonded layers of wood, it is more durable than solid hardwood, and less likely to be affected by temperature or humidity.

Engineered planks can be created in a greater array of sizes and widths (and wider planks have the added benefit of being able to trick the eye into making a room look larger).

To keep your hardwood protected and shiny,

clean regularly with water-based solutions.

You’ll also want to sweep and vacuum your floor weekly to eliminate dust and particles. Remember that hardwood is susceptible to water damage, so never use a wet wop or let spills soak into the boards. Consult the manufacturer’s guide for specific cleaning techniques if you are unsure of how to care for your specific flooring; otherwise, you may cause unintentional damage to the floorboards.

The popularity of hardwood flooring means that there are a countless number of styles and designs on the market today. Investigate the wide variety of lumber types, colors, finishes and plank sizes before making a selection. If you are planning on going green, there are even environmentally friendly options available that are made from sustainable wood sources. The possibilities are endless.

Choosing the right hardwood for your home is a big decision. With careful consideration and proper maintenance, the flooring you select can last for years to come. Weigh your options carefully until you find the perfect flooring to fit your home.
