Midwest Academy gets new home

By Dawn Pearson • news@currentincarmel.com

Midwest Academy has found a new home.

The school serves grades 4 through 12 and focuses on children who have autism, social anxiety and other conditions that require education a school that teaches according to their learning differences.

The academy is a specialized school with values that define its innovative academics. Those values begin in a respectful and inclusive environment that cultivates the potential in each student, embraces unique and divergent thinking, fosters resilience and determination and helps each student develop integrity.

“This school is the premiere school in Indiana for kids with high-functioning autism, ADHD, learning challenges, test anxiety kids and overall children who do not learn well in large classrooms,” said Jane Grimes, owner of “Autism Companion” magazine.

The school’s new building at 1420 Chase Ct. in Carmel has 20,000 square feet, 7,000 more square feet then their former location, according to Myra Cocca, a Midwest Academy board member. “(The new building) will provide more learning

space and allow us to accommodate up to 120 students who need our type of education,” Cocca said.

Enrollment maximum was 90 at the former location.

“We will also be able to provide an expanded curriculum. For example, for the first time we will have dedicated science labs as well as an art room with both wet and dry areas. And we will create a physical identity in the community. The more visible location of the new school means more young people who have struggled in other education settings will be able to hear about Midwest Academy,” she said.

And this school is making a big impact on students and their families.

“My daughter Taylor has Autism and has attended (Midwest Academy) for almost 3 years now, and it’s changed her life and our family for the better. I cannot say enough great things about Kevin Gailey, head of the school and our teachers,” Grimes said. “This school is very progressive and forward thinking. And the new school is beautiful.”

Midwest Academy’s new building cost approximately $3 million, $1.8 million of which has been raised through a fundraising campaign.

Classes began on Oct. 29. For more information visit www.mymidwestacademy.org.

City wants more parking for Flix

By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com Other than a few pieces of red tape to cut through, the Flix Brewhouse is on schedule for a late-summer, merchants square early-fall opening next year. The issue at hand right now is parking.

Looking at the vast, empty lot in front of the vacant space, it’s hard to even imagine not being able to find a space. But city ordinances, which are based on occupancy, call for more parking spaces than the current site plan allows.

“City officials have been extremely accommodating,” said Flix Entertainment CEO Allan Reagan, who was in town last week for site planning meetings. “I don’t anticipate this parking issue to delay us at all. For every problem, there’s a solution.”

“The magic in running a shopping center is that parking spaces get used differently in different day parts. I do believe that we have ample parking available for the traffic we anticipate, and if all goes well, we may even be able to take a little of that space and create some outdoor seating, which would be great,” Reagan said.

The parking variance request is slated to be addressed at the Nov. 5 plan commission meeting.

Once plans are approved and construction begins, the former Old Navy building, which now houses the seasonal Halloween store, will

be razed and that corner will be rebuilt into the glass-fronted façade that will house the microbrewery.

The existing roof line of the Hobby Lobby building will be raised, and there will be excavation to lower the floor inside to accommodate the stadium-style seating.

Once complete, Flix Brewhouse will boast eight theatres of varying sizes; the grandest of them being the Flix MX - a 250-seat theatre with Dolby Atmos, the newest sound technology available.

In-house and local microbrews will be offered along with wine and other beverages. In addition to standards such as burgers, sandwiches and pizza, a creative, health-focused menu of small plates will be offered, with such fresh items as seared ahi tuna and hummus with raw vegetables.

Of course, there will be popcorn, too.

Teachers union appeals 2012-13 contract decision

By Pete Smith • pete@youarecurrent.com The Carmel Clay Education Association has appealed the ruling of a state fact-finder to the Indiana Education Employment Relations Board.

The fact-finder had determined that a contract proposed by the Carmel schools administration should be applied education retroactively for the 2012-13 school year.

Assistant Superintendent Roger McMichael expressed dismay with the appeal at the Oct. 28 school board meeting, saying the appeal would further delay raises for teachers.

Oral arguments in the appeal are scheduled for Nov. 18 and a ruling is expected by Nov. 25.

The contract negotiations began in August 2012, but neither side could reach an agreement. The talks entered state-mandated mediation before a lawsuit was filed in November 2012 by the teachers’ association alleging unfair labor practices, said Brian Lyday, president of the teachers’ association and a fifth-grade teacher at Towne Meadow Elementary School.

That lawsuit and its appeals process were recently resolved, and a decision on a 2012-13 contract was sent to a fact-finder after Carmel teachers overwhelmingly voted to reject the administration’s “last best offer” contract.

The reason the fact-finder, Sandra Jensen, said she could not accept the teachers’ proposed version of a contract was because it would exceed the school district’s annual revenue and result in the need for deficit financing.

The district’s teachers have been the only ones in the state without a contract, and the entire appeals process is blazing new legal ground.

Contract negotiations between the two sides over a 2013-14 contract are currently in state-mandated mediation.

Palladium: We don’t owe CRC money

By Karen Kennedy and Pete Smith news@currentincarmel.com

The management of Carmel’s Center for the Performing Arts is trying to distance itself from any ties to an unfavorable audit of the Carmel Redevelopment government Commission.

According to the State Board of Accounts’ recently released audit of the CRC’s 2012 books, the state found $29,464.38 missing in money the CRC should have collected from Palladium ticket sales.

Tania Moskalenko Castroverde, executive director of the Center of the Center for the Performing Arts, said in a statement, “For the calendar year 2012 – the year that was audited our records show payment in full for amounts owed through October. However, some amounts owed in November and December 2012 were settled in 2013. At this time the center has no outstanding amounts due the CRC or the city for calendar year 2012. We had our own audit in June of 2013, and I can absolutely say that we do not owe the CRC any money.”

John Hughey, a spokesman for the Center, said in a statement declining to reveal the amounts paid for November and December 2012, “We decline additional commentary, simply because we

are not the appropriate organization to speak about the CRC’s audit.”

There were three major areas in which the CRC allegedly failed to collect money due.

One of those three areas refers to an agreement between the Palladium, the CRC and the Carmel City Center Community Development Corporation, in which a per-ticket surcharge was to be collected from the Palladium.

The audit report reads as follows: “The CRC has a parking and grant agreement with the Carmel City Center Community Development Corporation (4CDC) 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 uncollected.”

Given the recent resignations of Les Olds and Matt Worthley, the CRC has no development employees remaining to ask about the audit or the missing funds.

In a statement, city spokeswoman Melanie Lentz said, “The mayor says that it’s accounted for.”

As of press time the city was unable to provide further evidence to demonstrate that was the case. (Check www.currentincarmel.com for updates on the status of the CRC audit.)

CHS to stage ‘The Crucible’

news@currentincarmel.com

Carmel High School’s Performing Arts Department is producing “The Crucible” by Arthur Miller as its fall production. Performances will be conducted in CHS’s Studio Theatre. theatre This is the second time Jim Peterson, director of theatre and film at CHS, has produced the play. The first production was in the auditorium in 1996, and many of the original cast will be returning for the performance on Nov. 8.

“It’s a reunion of sorts,” Peterson said. “Thank goodness for Facebook. It makes it so much easier to keep in touch with alumni. They are excited to see the new version.”

This time, the play will be staged in the

school’s Studio Theater, which did not exist in 1996. The smaller, more intimate space will allow the audience to feel very close to the action and involved with the story.

“I’m so glad to see it come together on stage,” said senior Laura Ellsworth, who portrays Abigail Williams.

“It’s going to be a really great production and kind of creepy,” said senior Gus Leagre, who portrays John Proctor. “The audience is going to surround the stage, but then there are times when we are going to surround the audience. The whole witchcraft theme makes it very creepy.”

CHS’s “The Crucible” • 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 7, 8, 9 and 2 p.m. Nov. 9th • Tickets are $10 and available in the CHS Bookstore or online at www.totalgatesolutions.com.

Artists turn church into a gallery

By Tonya Burton • news@currentincarmel.com

Churches are not unheard of places to hang artwork, it’s just that the paintings tend to be Biblically focused. But four local artists are pushing the boundaries and testing out a art church as a new form of art gallery.

The diverse works of Wend Boomhower, Julie Cranfill, Jan Snyder and Nancy Waltz are currently being displayed in the lobby of the Hazel Dell Christian Church at 14501 Hazel Dell Pkwy.

The display will show through November and may be viewed weekdays from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Although the church does not sell the artwork, the welcome desk offers price lists and contact information for each artist. A meet-and-greet session for the artists has been scheduled for 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Nov. 10.

The four artists, who had shown regularly at the former Artists on the Square gallery in Noblesville, were disappointed when that venue closed. They had become friends and fans of each other’s work and decided to work together to find a gallery that fit their needs.

“We’d like to show together once a year,” Snyder said.

At the same time, Joel Phillips, minister of music at the Hazel Dell Christian Church, was looking to expand the church’s inclusiveness and reach out to visual artists. Through a mutual

acquaintance, the artists and the church came together to create the current colorful display.

Boomhower, a former graphic designer from England, works in several mediums, including acrylic, silk dies and tissue paper. Cranfill works in acrylics on canvas, while Waltz works in water colors. Snyder works with oils, acrylic and water colors.

Art is their passion and has been an important part of their lives for a very long time, they all agreed. This venue just fills the void that Artists on the Square left when it closed.

Weather can’t stop Gallery Walk

By Chris Bavender • news@currentincarmel.com

It may be time to grab a sweater – or even a winter coat – but that won’t stop the Carmel Arts & Design District from hosting its Gallery Walk from 5-10 p.m. Nov. 9. art “Typically we have 300 to 400 people during the gallery walks when it’s warmer but we still draw more than 150 when the weather is colder,” Carmel Gallery Association President Jerry Points said. “Some of the galleries will offer hot drinks, but it just varies with each. We try not to compete with the restaurants.”

The Gallery Walk features new exhibits and artists at the 10 galleries in the district. Free caricatures by artist Kim Graham will be available at Auntie Em’s Frozen Custard & Cupcakes, and a scavenger hunt is planned from 5 to 9 p.m., starting at the ArtSplash Gallery.

Response to the monthly Gallery Walk has been positive.

“People just really seem to be embracing it. A lot of the people who are coming in really seem to enjoy the fact they can come into the district and there are no parking fees compared to other areas,” Points said. “There are restaurants where they can eat before or after. It’s just a great night of entertainment where you can see several galleries in a three or four block area.”

Art Gallery and Studio at 421 S. Range Line Rd. The gallery will host African artist Ade Oyelami and 12 of his paintings done in the Osogbo art form from 3 to 8 p.m.

“This is traditional African art that actually inspired the cubist movement with Picasso,” gallery manager Kwame Itoka said. “‘Wow’ is the usual first reaction when people see this forgotten art form because of the colors – they are vibrant. The colors hit you first then you really start looking at the form.”

Oyelami’s paintings will be on exhibit at the gallery for a month.

“We have quite a diversity of art here in terms of media – painting, glass, ceramics, etc. – as well as price points,” Points said. “You can walk in a gallery and find a work for under $100 or you can spend thousands.”

Indiana landscapes inspire show

By Debra Sigel • news@currentincarmel.com

Eric Forstmann’s art aspires to capture a moment in time, just like a camera captures a scene of great beauty. art Coats-Wright Art and Design in the Indiana Design Center has announced the opening of an exhibition featuring the nationally acclaimed painter’s work.

Originally from Warren, Conn., Forstmann traveled to Evansville for a showing of his work and became enchanted with the Indiana landscape.

He later returned and traveled the state, taking in the environment from the northern dunes to the Ohio River. He explored the industrial wastelands, rivers, lakes, hills and forgotten small towns of the Indiana countryside.

“You know, when you go to a place for the first time, you enjoy and have the freshness of things that have stuck with you.” Forstmann said, describing why Indiana first cast a spell on him.

He described his Hoosier journey as a new and exciting experience, and said the state was fresh and inviting.

Forstmann said he took that experience and used it to create a series of paintings that capture the sprawling Indiana horizon with a stark absence of human activity.

Forstmann wasn’t afraid to suffer for his art.

“The willingness to tie down your easel in the wind, to get your arms and face sunburned, to brave ticks, mosquitoes, deer flies, inquisi-

tive passersby and personal baggage can make (painting landscapes) repellant to some,” he said.

“Yet, when you come back with something that represents both subject and struggle well, there is a value added. The effort can give a painting soul.”

And for an artist who has been compared to Edward Hopper and Robert Rauchenberg, Forstmann prefers to remain humble and simply focus on his work - that being the job of painting the chaos of nature onto canvas.

“Landscape work has also taught me to really look and to think about the long term, both in art and life,” he said. “At the same time, it constantly reminds me of how quickly things change and how you should take advantage of things when they are before you.”

Hoosier Salon nixes move to Carmel

By Pete Smith • news@currentincarmel.com The board of the Hoosier Salon has decided not to relocate the prominent art gallery from Broad Ripple to Carmel.

Art In a statement, the board said, “Like many arts organizations, Hoosier Salon has just emerged from a turbulent financial time.

Our board decided it was more important for Hoosier Salon’s long-term viability to take a few years to stabilize its finances and build up additional financial reserves before contemplating a new gallery location.”

The statement expressed gratitude “to the City of Carmel for its generous offer of financial support and its promotion for Hoosier Salon’s temporary exhibits in the space this fall.”

The offer of financial support refers to a proposed offer from the Carmel City Center Community Development Corporation that would have helped to subsidize the cost of the rent at the proposed gallery site at 20 N. Range Line Rd., said Hoosier Salon Executive Director Donnae Dole.

The owner of the Carmel gallery building, Curtis Butcher, declined to reveal the rent for the building.

reveal the amount of the subsidy that Carmel had prepared to offer.

But in the end, the issue of relocation may have played a larger factor than money.

“We are working with our (current) landlord to make additional improvements to our Broad Ripple gallery,” the board said in a statement.

“In 2014 we will implement new business and marketing plans, begin a dynamic fundraising campaign and celebrate our 90th anniversary.”

Said Dole, “We’re picking up the pieces and moving forward the best we can right here in Broad Ripple.”

An evening of laughter, love

By Karen Kennedy • karenk@yoaurecurrent.com

Dominic Sheahan-Stahl knows first-hand what it feels like to be discriminated against.

A Michigan native from a tradimusic tional Irish-Catholic family, he graduated from Sacred Heart High School and then went off to New York to attend the American Musical and Dramatic Academy. After making his living successfully in the performing arts for 12 years, he was invited to return to his high school alma mater to give a keynote speech.

Sheahan-Stahl’s appearance was cancelled after he made an openly gay personal announcement on Facebook. Although he was deeply hurt by the event, he took it as a sign that he needed to take action.

He created the “Live through Love” Foundation, which works to raise awareness of discrimination of openly gay students and awards an annual scholarship. Sheahan-Stahl also has created a benefit concert series called “Dream in Color” to fund the foundation.

Sheahan-Stahl, who lives in New York City, is currently playing the role of Marius in Beef and Boards’ production of “Les Miserables.” He will present the concert at Beef and Boards on Nov. 11.

His goal is to present the concert in all 50 states. Indiana is the third, and he will take the show to Florida in January.

Colleagues from across the United States will

participate in the concert. Local singers and actors will be featured as well, including Gary Life, who was most recently seen as King Charles in Civic Theatre’s production of “Pippin.”

“All of the songs will be about love, overcoming a struggle or celebrating individuality,” SheahanStahl said. “Many different genres of music will be represented and it will be an evening filled with laughter, fun and love.”

Unique benefit aims to help kids

By Chris Bavendar • news@currentincarmel.com

The word art is typically associated with a painting, sculpture or some other artistic creation put on fundraiser display for all to enjoy. But for The Villages, art is about creativity and functionality – all in the name of helping the children and families the agency serves.

The sixth annual CHAIRish the Children event will be from 6 to 9 p.m. Nov. 8 at the Lucas Estate Sports Pavilion, 1143 116th St., Carmel.

The fundraiser is a collaboration between The Villages and local artists.

“We provide an unfinished wooden chair to each artist beforehand and they work on them over the course of a couple of months and create the works of art that we have in our auction,” Katee Franson, director of development at The Villages, said.

The event has grown since its first year when just 30 children’s chairs were painted and only 30 people attended the fundraiser, raising $4,000.

“Now we have 40 items - everything from kid’s chairs to benches and stools – even adult chairs - and have raised close to $20,000 every year since,” Franson said. “We are expecting about 200 people this year so it’s quite different than it

LUNCH SPECIAL DRINK SPECIALS

was six years ago.”

All the money raised goes to The Villages enrichment fund.

“We use it to enrich the lives of the children and families we serve. For example, we might send kids to summer camp so they have a normalizing experience so when they go to school they can share with their peers they went to camp too,” Franson said. “We have paid for glasses and braces for kids, clothing - anything you can think of that kids need.”

Artists come from Marion and surrounding counties and towns and include art students. Themes range from sports to outdoors to super heroes. And reactions have been positive.

“I think people are intriguged by the idea and want to see them (the chairs) in person. It’s not your typical silent auction item,” Franson said.

“We will have other items in the auction as well, including sports tickets and airline tickets.”

Can’t attend? Bidding is available online at www.villages.org/special-events/chairish-thechildren through Nov. 7 with proxy bids continuing through the event.

Tickets for CHAIRish the Children are $60 each or two for $100 and can be reserved by calling (800) 874-6880 or by visiting www.villages.org.

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Hamilton Town Center will kick off the holiday season with a day of family fun and festivities on the village streets of the diversion Noblesville outdoor mall. From 1 to 9 p.m., the fourth annual Holiday Festival will light up the season for area families with live entertainment, Santa’s grand arrival and much more, before capping off the evening with an unforgettable fireworks display.

Huebner said that throughout the event, the public will be able to stand in front of a backdrop, look into a video camera and say a few words. After the event, the USO of Indiana will package the DVDs and send them to troops at military bases across the world.

“This is the first time for this,” Huebner said.

12-year-old motorcycle racer takes on an international challenge

By Gary Boskovich • news@currentincarmel.com

When most people think of children riding a bike, it’s typically the two-wheeled variety that kids peddle around. But the bike that 12-year-old Nolan Lamkin rides is far from typical. This Creekside Middle School seventh-grader rides a bike cover story with a 250cc engine that can reach speeds in excess of 100 mph.

Nolan’s passion is racing motorcycles, and he recently earned a trip to Spain to compete against racers from all over the world for a spot on the prestigious MotoGP Red Bull Rookies Cup Circuit.

Nolan started racing competitively when he was just 8 years old.

His dad, Bill Lamkin, owned a drag racing motorcycle and one day approached Nolan to ask if he wanted to get into drag racing. Nolan was already bitten by the racing bug but it wasn’t straight track drag racing he was interested in.

Nolan wanted the challenge of turns and corners, so he chose motorcycle racing instead.

“I wanted to do the turns more than anything,” Nolan said.

Although Nolan is considered a novice, he has competed against older racers on much larger bikes. And he’s had success, too, finishing either first or second in half of the races he competed in over the summer.

“I like going against motorcycles bigger than mine and passing them,” Nolan said.

He sees a smaller bike as a competitive advantage because he is much faster than the larger bikes in the twists and turns of the course. He said he can gain ground and often pass the competition in the corners.

Element of danger

den is currently covered by his parents.

Challenge abroad

Nolan and his dad recently traveled to Spain for the Red Bull Rookies Cup Selection event held in Monteblanco, Spain, the week of Oct. 13th. In order to qualify for this event, Nolan had to submit a resume of his racing accomplishments and past experience.

Nolan was the youngest driver there and qualified for the event by a mere three weeks. He was competing against other American and foreign riders for a spot on the MotoGP Rookies Cup Circuit.

Judges at the event look for new talent they can mentor and

of the bike. At first he was getting passed, but once he got comfortable with his ride, Nolan moved up to second place and stayed there.

Only one American rider got selected to participate in the final event on Friday. Although Nolan wasn’t the one selected, he felt he held his own against the competition.

“I did really well for it being the first year competing in this event,” he said. “I was the youngest racer over there and did really well for the amount of experience I have.”

Nolan said he already has a plan for what he needs to work on to improve.

“I’ll be trying to get on a bike more, whether it’s a racing bike or a dirt bike, and try to be involved in more racing events,” he said. “I want to eat less junk food, work out to gain strength and become more fit to be able to maneuver the motorcycle better.”

Racing aside, Nolan’s week in Spain was definitely a memorable one. He not only had a great time, but learned to enjoy some new food too. His favorites were the Spanish-style pizzas and the different sausages served in the country.

“They tasted really, really good, and I ate everything in sight,” he said.

Back home again

Nolan Lamkin says he uses a smaller MotoGP bike to pass his competitors during turns. (Submitted photo)

There is an element of danger to MotoGP racing - especially when traveling at 120 mph, which Nolan has done.

Occasionally, fear creeps into his head but Nolan said he dismisses it quickly.

“I tell myself to concentrate on the race and the fear goes away,” he said.

During a race, he focuses on the riders ahead of him and plans a strategy that allows him to catch up and pass them.

But like any road racing sport, crashes happen, so riders need to have the best protection available. Nolan has crashed twice with only a bruised thumb to show for it.

And to cover the cost of equipment and traveling to races, Nolan has a few sponsors who support him. Sponsorship has many benefits, including international recognition - especially as Nolan climbs higher in the MotoGP circuit. But most of the expense bur-

develop for racing at higher levels, and it is the preferred method for breaking into Grand Prix motorcycle racing.

Selection is based mostly on rider ability, but there is an added personality component.

Nolan said he just wanted to see how he stacked up against the other riders using similar equipment.

“I want to see how the Red Bull Rookies Cup Selection event runs, and if I get selected again, have a better idea on how to approach the race,” he said.

Off to the races

Nolan’s week in Spain was a full one, but races didn’t begin until Thursday. First was a practice session in which Nolan wanted to get familiar with the bike he was going to race. The second session was the real deal.

Nolan said he started off slow, still getting used to the handling

Nolan and his dad are home in Carmel again.

After Fall Break he was able to share his travel adventures with teachers and classmates.

But the following weekend, Nolan was off to Alabama for his final race of the season.

Although the Indiana racing circuit stops at the end of October, that doesn’t mean putting the bike away for Nolan. During the cold weather months he’ll keep practicing and getting track time at courses in Indiana, Alabama

and Michigan.

Aside from riding a motorcycle any chance he gets during the off season, Nolan intends to concentrate on increasing his stamina and flexibility - gearing up for 2014 and beyond.

He said he plans to work out and ride motorcycles to get more experience.

The flag drops on next year’s race season in April or May. Nolan said he intends to ramp up the number of events he participates in, and that involves extensive travel once again. The tracks he will race on are as far west as Wisconsin, as far east as Pennsylvania, as far south as Alabama, and a number of states in between.

This time next year Nolan hopes for another shot at making the Red Bull Rookies Cup Circuit.

Don’t be surprised if one day Nolan lands a spot in the Moto Grand Prix motorcycle race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

His dedication and talent might just get him there.

In Honor of Freedom It is our position that service in the armed forces should not be taken for granted. On Veteran’s Day, we celebrate the brave men and women who have served our country in the name of freedom - some willingly, some with no choice by means of the draft. Uncle Sam was once the bearer of birthday greetings to eighteen year-old-men across the country in the form of a letter to report for service either with reservist units or called for active duty.

Today, the armed forces are plagued with budget cuts and stymied recruitment efforts due to the rising obesity rate and failure of recruits to pass drug tests and keep clean criminal records. Would reinstating a draft solve these military recruitment woes? Could today’s coddled youth withstand the pressure and responsibility?

Recognition and special thanks are extended to those who have served our country in the past, to the military personnel currently serving and to those brave enough to enlist to sustain the armed forces.

Do invisible chains constrain us?

Commentary by Terry Anker We’ve all faced it. The feeling of rejection and exclusion can be devastating. That moment when one is cut from the team, fails to get elected, doesn’t get the part or misses the promotion is one that tests both our self-confidence and our resolve to carry on. Our ability to confront the disappointment can either urge us to develop skills that will ultimately deliver us to a higher level of success or lead to self-evaluation as unworthy in the most unnecessarily expansive fashion.

Turn of the century animal trainers implemented the practice of chaining one leg of baby elephants to a stake in the ground. The restraint was strong enough to limit the movement of the creatures; but as the pachyderms matured their immense size and strength would have made it easy to overwhelm the constraint. Yet they did not move. With the hawser unconnected and lying on the ground, the giant creatures stayed in place as if held by an invisible force. In fact, the manacle

was often no longer connected to anything. The highly intelligent creatures remembered the feeling of restricted movement and simply stood still whenever the shackle was is in place.

Younger humans seem much more resilient than we who have spent a little more time on the planet. It is hard to find a four-year-old who doesn’t greet failure as a normal part of the learning process. Yet, many of our adult peers are paralyzed with anxiety about even trying to develop any new skills or move outside of our long-established comfort zones. The pain of perceived failure is real. And, one could guess that its anticipation might be the same. Do ancient scars keep us from living up to our potential today? Why are we allowing ourselves to be constrained by invisible chains?

We were thrilled to learn Midwest Academy, which serves special-needs children in grades four through 12, has landed in a new and bigger space in Carmel. The academy quickly has become the gold standard in our state for students with high-functioning autism, among other classifications. It’s heartening to know they’ll learn in expanded surroundings that afford additional educational opportunities. That will include expanded curriculum. Students learn at Midwest with focused teachings that accommodate various learning capacities. This move is a win-win for them and the school. It’s more than shuffling these kids into a different setting; it’s all about success, as the academy has shown. (For more about the move, see Dawn Pearson’s story on Page 3.)

••• Perhaps a health-insurance carrier has spurned you or someone you know recently.

It simply cannot be a pleasant experience. We know a few folks who’ve endured the “rejected” treatment. We’re just wondering here, but don’t you believe it is possible that because of all the confusion and uncertainty of Obamacare that insurance companies almost “have to” reject some folks’ attempts at renewal? After all, our illustrious leader, President Barack Obama, has done a fairly solid job of running down insurance companies (and they’re not completely innocent of all his charges) since before he campaigned for the last presidential election. He has maligned them – again, deservedly so in some instances – to the point where there’s no luster left. They’re viewed as villainous, and so their reputations are left tarnished. We further wonder whether any court would entertain a lawsuit brought by one or more carriers against the president on the grounds of damaging their brands. Yes, a lawsuit. If someone maligned your business to the point where it was affecting perception of it, and, as a byproduct, its ability to successfully engage in commerce, wouldn’t you sue for slander? Just asking.

Inside the Farmer’s Market

Editor, Have you ever gone to the Carmel Farmers Market and noticed the official looking people who wear the yellow T-shirts standing around or riding a golf cart? Their job seems to be easy.

Right?

Nothing could be further from the truth. For example, take the market’s steering committee.

Members of the vendor relations committee work way beyond the farmers market Saturdays.

They expend a great deal of effort mustering up volunteers to help run the show and get all the vendors ready to roll on time.

Some committee members even go out to the vendors’ farms, which are located all over Indiana, to confirm that vendors are bringing to market locally produced food and goods.

In addition, they check to see that vendors meet the Hamilton County Health Department and appropriate State of Indiana boards’ and commissions’ requirements.

Evening meetings throughout the year demand their focus, and each member of the committee is responsible for some facet of the very sophisticated operation that includes vendors, music, site, equipment, demonstrations, special events, volunteers, finances and marketing.

The committee also creates the pleasant ambiance of the market experience by making sure that vendors and their displays are customerpleasing and suitable. Let’s not forget the music and special events, such as the many musical groups and the upcoming Holiday Market on Nov. 23 at the Civic Square.

In other words, the members of the committee keep track of every facet of the market.

So much for my image of the yellow T-shirt folks standing around doing nothing. The vendor committee members and their volunteers work hard and care about Carmel.

They deserve halos rather than T-shirts.

Being spot on Editor, This is the second time I have written to Mr. Kelly and Mr. Greenberg. This is regarding their latest article “There is no one but ourselves to blame.” My first comment to you, a while ago, was critical and you published it but since then (and almost always) you are spot on. I appreciate

your candor and honesty and enjoy your publication. I read your article on Ray Cortopassi, a distant relative and friend of mine, in the Current in Zionsville and found it very interesting. He and his family are terrific. Again, I enjoy your publication and read it cover to cover. Thank you.

On the way home from a recent trip to Kentucky, our middle son did something he has never done before, at least in front of humor me. He punched his older brother square in the head with full intention to hurt. Just like that, his skinny arm shot across the aisle and landed right on the temple.

I saw the jab in the rearview mirror and almost crashed the van. I was in such shock that I could only exclaim, “Andrew!,” while my husband Doo literally lost his fashizite. I pulled off at the next exit so our awe-struck family could pull itself together.

What had happened? Why had our sweet boy suddenly snapped? Amidst a flood of tears in the men’s restroom off I-65, he explained to Doo that he’d finally tired of being bullied by his bratty brother. That he couldn’t stand for one more second the teasing and the taunting. So he’d hit him, and hit him hard. (Lest you be concerned for the injured party, the only bruise suffered was a massive one to his ego.) Doo, in an amazing testament to his parenting skills, calmly walked Andrew through the cons of using physical violence to solve one’s problems, but then ended with “Nice shot, by the way. Don’t ever do it again, but definitely a nice shot.”

It was. Back on the road, I had to stifle a giggle. How many times have I myself wanted to pop my first-born? Ten? Twenty? And that’s

just in the past week. Fifteen-year-old boys are buttheads, plain and simple. Is it any wonder that some dark part of me is still applauding my courageous seventh-grader for taking him down a peg? I am, after all, always telling my kids to stand up for themselves and not to become victims. How can I possibly be angry that one of our sons finally fought back?

The weird thing is, their relationship has significantly improved since the controversial beatdown. Sure my soon-to-be driver continues to deliver condescending remarks and smart-aleck comments on a regular basis, but I have not heard any of his usual ribbing about my younger son’s height (Andrew is significantly shorter than his 6-foot brother) nor have I seen any attempts by said giant to bully his sibling off the Xbox.

Our freshman has been treating Andrew more as a friend, and dare I say, with a modicum of respect. Hooray!

I guess you just never really know how close someone is to his breaking point until it all explodes in one horrific, but somehow glorious, moment. Even a blow to a loved one’s big noggin can have positive results. Peace out.

Pianist Di Wu – ‘She has fire in her playing’

By Jay Harvey • news@currentinwestfield.com In all areas of her life, concert pianist Di Wu seems energized by following steep learning curves and making adjustsymphony ments as her taste and knowledge develop.

When she’s cooking at home in New York, she experiments with dishes she’s sampled in her travels.

“When I find something good in a restaurant, I try to do that at home,” she said by phone from a hotel in South Dakota, where she performed recently on her way to a Nov. 9 appearance with the Carmel Symphony Orchestra at the Palladium.

She’s also a passionate tennis fan. She doesn’t play out of concern for her valuable wrists, but she tweeted from the U.S. Open men’s championship in September. Rooting for Novak Djokovic, looking back Wu was gracious about the man who bested him, Rafael Nadal.

“Nadal played an incredible year, and he deserves the crown,” she said.

“You can talk with her about anything,” marveled CSO music director David Bowden, who is working with her for the eighth time. “She’s a brilliant young lady and a fun person, and she’s voracious in her appetite for other things besides music.”

Of course, it’s Di Wu’s professional course as a musician that’s foremost in his mind. Bowden first heard of her in 2005 when she won an international piano competition in Hilton Head, S.C. “A member of my Columbus artistic team … was there and called me up, ‘My goodness! You must hire her!’” he said.

Four years ago, Wu was a finalist in the Van Cliburn Competition in Fort Worth, Texas, yet failed to win a prize - a jury snub considered almost scandalous by some. The Wall Street Journal’s correspondent wrote: “Nothing in recent memory has been as shocking as this year’s top prizes, which ignored the most musically mature and sensitive pianist competing in the finals.”

Bowden has treasured opportunities to have the 29-year-old Chinese native as a soloist in the orchestras he directs, not only in Carmel but Terre Haute and Columbus, as well. This will be her third time playing with the CSO in the Palladium, where the audience loves her, Bowden said.

“She did Rachmaninoff’s Second (Piano Concerto) in February 2012 and we’ve got a recording of it,” he said proudly. “I think it’s the very best concert we’ve ever done since I started here (in 1999).”

On Nov. 9 she will play two works with the

THIS WEEK Gretchen Wilson – The modern country music icon best known for her hits, “Redneck Woman” and Homewrecker,” will bring her CARMEL hard-working and hard-partying act to the Palladium at 7:30 p.m.

Nov. 7. Her songs like “Here For The Party” and “When I think about Cheatin’” are gorgeously rough-edged, and it’s no wonder why she resonates strongly with fans of country and southern rock. As she takes the Palladium stage this season, she’ll give a party you won’t forget. Tickets start at $55. For more information call 843-3800 or visit www.thecenterfortheperformingarts.org.

Follow the North Star – Encounter what life was like for runaway slaves using the Underground Railroad in this award-winning FISHERS reenactment presented by Conner Prairie Interactive History Park, 13400 Allisonville Rd. Participation includes meeting slave hunters face-to-face and witnessing the fear and hope of slaves, assisted by a Quaker family, who risked everything for freedom.

This intense experience is recommended only for those 12 and older; those under age 16 must be accompanied by an adult. The 90-minute reenactments take place from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at staggered times Nov. 7 through 9. Reservations are required; call 776-6006. Prices are $20 for nonmembers and $17 for members. For more information, visit www.connerprairie.org.

HCAA 63rd Annual Fall Show – This is HCAA’s annual exhibition which is held at the Hamilton East Public Library Noblesville NOBLESVILLE Branch, 1 Library Square, runs through Nov. 15 during regular library hours. All art is for sale and there also is a kids table with items available for purchase by young art enthusiasts. There will be raffle tickets available for $1 each or 6 for $5 to win an original painting. The show is free and open to the public. For more information, visit www.hcaa-in.org.

Pianist Di Wu will perform Gershwin and Liszt with the Carmel Symphony Orchestra in Nov. 9 at The Palladium. (Submitted photo)

orchestra, both suggested by Bowden: Franz Liszt’s Concerto No. 1 in E-flat and George Gershwin’s “I Got Rhythm” Variations.

“When David has a suggestion I’m always all ears,” Wu said. “I’ve been wanting to learn the Liszt piece; it’s wonderful he gave me the opportunity to perform it. And there is much to say about Gershwin. I’ve done Rhapsody in Blue, the Concerto in F and the Second Rhapsody it’s brilliant music.”

Wu, who came with her mother to the U.S. in her midteens to study, offered this assessment of how she’s developed since winning the Hilton Head competition.

“I’ve got a better understanding of myself my emotional and overall strengths,” she said.

“I’m more aware of what I’m doing now. If something doesn’t work, I know how to fix it.

When musicians grow up, there’s a little more depth to you.”

More depth doesn’t imply anything stodgy, however. “She is unbelievably exciting; she has fire in her playing,” Bowden said. “Her phrasing is so expressive and so spontaneous. When we’re in a concert playing a piece, I never know what she’s going to do and she never knows what I’m going to do - it’s so much fun. And the audience feels that and likes that.”

Family reading night – Maple Glen Elementary School will host a guest authors Todd and Cheryl Schleuning in the school’s WESTFIELD multipurpose room during its Reading Night event from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Nov. 14. The Schleunings will read and sign copies of “The Misphits: Story of Snake.” The books will sell for $14.50 for this special event and $1.45 will be donated back to the school. The evening also includes a Scholastic Book Fair in the media center and fun literacy activities in the cafeteria.

Boy Scout Troop 358 – This troop is celebrating 90 years of service in the Zionsville area. To commemorate this event, zionsVILLE members past and present are hosting an anniversary gala. The event will take place starting at 6 p.m.

Nov. 9 at the Parish Hall at St. Alphonsus Catholic Church, 70 W. Oak St. Dinner will be served around 7 p.m. If you’re interested in purchasing tickets for this event, call 615-584-6800.

Jonny Lang comes to the Palladium on his U.S. and European tour promoting his new album, “Fight for my Soul.” (Submitted photo)

Lang’s back and ready to rock

By Karen Kennedy • karenk@yoaurecurrent.com

The Palladium will be kickin’ on Nov. 10 when bluesy rocker Jonny Lang takes the stage on his “Fight for my Soul” tour. music Lang has a loyal following across diverse genres and his fans are young and old. He is a musician’s musician, adept at playing a variety of guitars while passionately digging for the deepest meaning in his lyrics.

“Blew up (the House)” is the first single to be released from his album “Fight for my Soul,” his first new release in seven years.

TITLE SPONSOR

His hits include “Wander this World” and “Lie to Me.” The Fargo, N.D., native debuted his first album at age 16. Equally at home in the rock and blues worlds, he has shared the stage with the Rolling Stones, B.B. King, Aerosmith and Sting.

Lang won a Grammy in 2007 for his album “Turning Around,” but left the major label scene behind after that to become an independent artist. “Fight for my Soul” is a collaboration with producer Tommy Sims, who co-wrote Eric Clapton’s Grammy-winning song “Change the World.”

Of the “Fight for my Soul” album, Lang said, “This is an album that I’ve been wanting to make for a long time. There’s a lot going on inside of me. I want to share some stories: personal struggles, injustices I have seen, stories people can relate to. You can’t put it into one genre.”

Lang comes to Carmel following performances at House of Blues in Chicago and State Theatre in Kalamazoo, Mich. Later this fall, Lang will team up with blues legend Buddy Guy in Florida, finishing up the year with concerts across the United States before he crosses the pond in 2014 for concerts in Paris and London.

Franciscan Alliance announces cuts editorial@youarecurrent.com System-wide staff reductions will affect Franciscan Alliance’s 11 hospitals and health facilities in Indiana as the health system business responds to the transformative shift in hospital economics.

Officials said 275 employees or 1.4 percent of the workforce will be laid off as a result of the reduction. Franciscan Alliance has approximately 20,000 employees.

Officials said the healthcare industry is changing rapidly and economic pressures are forcing substantive changes in the field, including reduced reimbursements, new payer models, healthcare reform laws and shifts from inpatient to outpatient care.

“Franciscan Alliance has not been immune to such pressures and has found it necessary to align staffing levels to reflect lower patient volumes and reduced industry-wide reimbursements brought on by reforms associated with the Affordable Care Act,” stated Kevin Leahy, Franciscan Alliance president and CEO. “Recent trends and the new law are challenging healthcare providers to manage the continuum of care for patients more efficiently and effectively to ensure the same quality outcomes at reduced reimbursement levels.”

Like other health systems, Franciscan Alliance must cut its costs of care delivery over the next three years by 15 to 20 percent ($375 to $500 million) to remain viable. In addition to the 275 job cuts, another 650 full-time equivalent positions will be eliminated by cutting back on assigned hours, closing open positions, retirements and through attrition.

Leahy said the remaining 19,000 employees will see cutbacks in benefits in 2014. These cutbacks include the elimination of the 1.5 percent employer match to the 403b retirement savings program, elimination of the PTO buy-back program, higher employee contributions for healthcare insurance, no salary increases for management, and a new defined benefit/defined contribution pension for all co-workers not vested by Jan. 1 in the defined benefit pension plan.

Officials said the cost savings from these, and other recent pay practice changes, will help preserve hundreds of other jobs which otherwise would have to be eliminated.

“We are profoundly aware of the impact our decisions have on the lives of our co-workers and their families,” Leahy stated. “Those whose jobs will be affected by the workforce reduction will be provided with severance, extended health insurance where eligible, and outplacement assistance.”

Question from Rick A. from Fishers: I currently get health insurance for my family through my employer. I know changes Insurance are coming from health reform, but is there anything particular that I need to worry about?

Response from Jamie Ianigro: Health reform has a lot of folks concerned and confused.

The main piece of the legislation that will affect nearly everyone is the individual mandate that requires you to buy health insurance. If you like the insurance that your employer provides, you are considered covered and can stick with that program. You may also be able to switch to publicly available coverage eventually if you choose, but all that is still being figured out.

Any employer health plan you currently have qualifies as minimum essential coverage. You don’t need to change to a publicly available plan in order to avoid the fee that uninsured people may have to pay for 2014. If you’d like to explore publicly available coverage options, you can, but there are several important things to consider.

With most employer health insurance plans, your employer pays a portion of your premiums. Your employer does not need to make a contribution to

your premiums if you switch away from their plan.

You should consider this carefully before comparing your current plan to publically available plans.

If you decide to check out publically available plans, be aware that you may not qualify for lower costs on your monthly premiums and out-of-pocket costs, even if your income would qualify you otherwise.

Whether you qualify for lower costs will depend on what kind of coverage your employer offers. If your job-based coverage is considered affordable and meets minimum value, you won’t be able to get lower costs on premiums or outof-pocket costs in the marketplace. This is true no matter what your income and family size are.

Your employer can tell you whether the insurance plan it offers meets minimum value and help you determine whether the plan is considered affordable for you. You can also contact your independent insurance agent if you have further questions or if you lose your employer’s insurance plan and need to see what is available.

Rehearsal space owner: ‘We rock out all night long’

By Pete Smith • pete@youarecurrent.com

Rick Kingston recently had a grand opening for the new version of Kingston’s Music Showcase, a band rehearsal space, living-room-like concert venue and high-end musical now open instrument store.

Kingston has been in the music business since he was 12 years old and said he has always wanted to run a business like this.

The rehearsal space is booked by about 70 different bands at different times, and Kingston said he hosts all-ages shows in the space as well.

All bands need to book a show is a decent YouTube video – and a little parental supervision.

What they’ll get is a top-of-the-line system to sing through and a professional sound mixing from Kingston himself.

He has been building his business slowly but surely, and he recently expanded to offer more rehearsal space at his location at 340 Ridge Point Dr., Carmel, But what’s most surprising is the venue’s location – a very plain and unhip office park with low visibility just west of the Palladium.

“What’s cool is everyone (at the office park) goes home at five o’clock,” Kingston said. “We rock all night long and don’t bother anyone.”

And what musicians love is the ability to test out a high-end bass or guitar, not in a studio by themselves, but in a practice room with their

“I’m smart enough to know you have to stock items that no one else has and make a healthy profit,” Kingston said about why his lineup of instruments is not what can be found at stores like Guitar Center.

Kingston said he doesn’t envision his business expanding into the recording business, he sees it expanding into new markets.

“If this will work in an affluent suburb of Indianapolis,” he said, “It will work in other affluent places.”

If your Halloween experience was not all you had hoped for, consider spending next year in Rome’s “Capuchin Crypt.” lifestyle This so-called “Bone Church” is, without a doubt, the most haunting chapel in the world.

The Capuchin friars split from the Franciscans in 1520 to restore what they considered St. Francis’ lost ideals of poverty and service, adopting the brown robes and pointed hoods associated with the poor. In about 1631, the Capuchins left their monastery near Rome’s Trevi Fountain and moved to the Capuchin Church of the Immaculate Conception, carrying with them 300 carts filled with the disinterred bones of deceased friars.

For reasons still unknown, the Capuchin friars did not rebury their departed colleagues, but instead arranged their bones in intricate patterns along the walls and ceilings of a small chapel beneath the church. As friars died, survivors added their bones to the elaborate displays.

The larger bones were arranged by type, creating a pelvis room, a leg and thigh bone room and a room of skulls. Smaller bones became floral and geometric designs, wall clocks and chandeliers.

In some rooms, intact skeletons were propped upright and covered with musty robes, eerily recalling the Grim Reaper. When the practice stopped in 1870, the chapel walls and ceilings

“Skull Room in Rome’s Capuchin Chapel” (Photo by Don Knebel)

were covered with more than 500,000 bones of 3,700 Capuchins from all over the world and the Italian poor they had served.

The earliest known description of the Capuchin Crypt comes from the Marquis de Sade, who wrote after a visit in 1775 that it was “worthy of an English mind” and he had never “seen anything more impressive.” In the nineteenth century, the crypt was open to the public only during the week following All Souls Day, two days after Halloween.

Today, the Capuchin Crypt is open year round

(except Thursdays) to promote the sobering Capuchin message that time is running out for each of us to help the poor. Near the last room is a sign in five languages reading, “What you are now, we once were; what we are now, you shall be.” If that thought doesn’t scare you, nothing will.

Question: My l5-year-old granddaughter (an AP English student at North Central) corrected me yesterday when I said, grammar guy “You loaned me this keyboard - now I’m returning it.” Her response: Loan is a noun - you can’t use it as a verb - the correct word to use in that sentence is lent. Was she right? (Harriet Horwitz) Answer: Thanks for writing in, Harriet. Sounds like your granddaughter is a pretty smart cookie, and I’m glad to hear that there is a younger generation of grammar enthusiasts coming up.

The answer to your question is yes, and no. In British English, the verb form of “loan” died out a long time ago – around the time when Virginia was still a colony. However, we kept using it here stateside, and it remains entirely standard American English to this day.

There are a few caveats to how we distinguish the two words. First and foremost, “lend” is never a noun in American English (I’ve heard it may be used that way colloquially in parts of England, but I’m no expert on the subject). You

can lend someone a bicycle or a hand, but you don’t ask for a “lend.”

Second, when acting as a verb, “loan” is never used figuratively. You would loan someone money, but you would lend them a hand. You could loan someone artwork, but in putting it up, you would be lending their apartment an air of class.

“Lend” can also be used as a reflexive verb to mean “to adapt or apply oneself readily.” For example, a round table lends itself to discussions.

You get the picture.

As far as “loaned” and “lent,” they are the past tense forms of “loan” and “lend,” respectively. The same rules apply.

The bottom line is: If you use “loan” always as a noun, and “lend” always as a verb, you will never be wrong. If you choose to use “loan” as a verb, keep it literal – and bask in the joy of upholding an American linguistic tradition.

HOW TO: BEACH HAIR ALL YEAR LONG The weather may be getting colder but you can still have that tousled, “just back from the beach look” no matter what the temperature. Follow this guide to help create this look even on the cold, wintery days!

Prep Wash hair as normal and wrap hair in a towel to absorb extra moisture.

Spray Spray damp hair with Aquage Sea Salt Texturizing Spray (found at Salon 01). The sea salt will add the texture necessary to hold a natural curl.

Style Using a "Curls Like Us" towel (we stock them), gently scrunch the hair to add volume and enhance your natural curl.

Set For the best result, allow hair to air-dry naturally, and then touch it up with a curling iron if necessary. If you’re pressed for time and need to blow dry, use a wide tooth comb to pick up hair at the roots and blow dry, roots to ends, with high heat.

Shine Rub a drop of Salon 01 Shine drops through the ends of your hair for a polished finish!

Heard of Deva Curl? If not, schedule an appointment with a Salon 01 Deva Curl specialist to learn all about the newest tips and tricks for your curly locks.

TRY THIS LOOK! We think a sultry, smoky look for your eyes is a great way to go glam for an evening event.

Follow these steps to achieve this look: 1. Prep your eye area by applying a touch of concealer to your upper and lower lids. Set the concealer with a brush of loose powder.

2. Line your eyes with a firm eye pencil. “Stay as close to the base of the lashes as possible,” says Salon 01 Makeup Artist Kelly Lohrman. “Once lined, use your finger or small brush to gently smudge the liner up towards the creases of your eye. For a dramatic and bold effect, repeat on your bottom lashline.”

3. Set the liner with another swipe of translucent powder again. This will also soften the effect and keep the liner from smudging.

4. Add a dark, matte eye shadow to the lids, blending toward the creases. Pick black for a traditional smoky eye, or use a color like green or purple for a more modern look.

5. Don’t forget to finish off with a couple coats of volumizing mascara.

For more makeup tips and for help finding the makeup shades that are right for you, stop in Salon 01 for a makeup consultation and lesson.

LEAVE-IN CONDITIONER Learn to love a leave-in conditioner! Using a light spritz everyday helps protect your hair from damage caused by the sun and styling tools. Cold weather dries out your hair too, so not only will a leave-in conditioner protect your hair, it will keep it healthy through the winter months. Salon 01 stocks a great variety of these conditioners, such as Aquage Hydrating Mist and Biominoil Leave In Treatment. Stop in and speak with a knowledgeable professional today!

Keep your curb appeal current Commentary by Randy Sorrell

Establishing stunning curb appeal is always a relevant topic and is often established with a number of creative strategies. outdoors Our favorites include updated hardware on freshly painted doors, tasteful coach lamps, and oversized urns filled with bright annuals or evergreens for the winter, smothered in red berries.

This classic front entry didn’t start that way and needed another one of our preferred methods of creating curb appeal. The previous concrete surface was tired and not an accurate reflection of the rest of the very upscale Geist home. The retired homeowners were anxious for ways to dress up the front, increase the safety of the steps and provide a sense of place - or a feeling that you have arrived someplace special.

Irrelevant Short-Term Trends Gratefully, the door threshold was 3 inches higher than the existing concrete. This difference opened up several creative alternatives.

Those few inches, coupled with the integrity of the existing concrete, allowed the concrete to remain, saving $2,500 in removal and recycling charges. After considering clay pavers, travertine and limestone, our landscape architect and homeowners agreed that full color Pennsylvania bluestone (slate) in a random pattern was the best material. Installed on a bed of mortar with mortar joints, this stunning combination will persevere for decades and will be a relevant and stylish material that will confidently withstand irrelevant short-term trends.

We were thrilled with the hand-selected range of colors in the slate. The tans, browns and rusts pulled in subtle colors from the brick, while the vibrant blues and grays offered dramatic con-

trasts. Our 2nd phase (scheduled for spring 2014) will echo the same materials in a tucked away back yard patio where Jane and Brian can quietly escape to for appreciated private time.

Let your front entry make a grand statement!

DISPATCHES Top five fertilizing tips – 1) Fill the spreader in the driveway, not on the lawn.

You’re sure to spill and kill all of the grass that’s overexposed. 2) Read and follow the coverage settings on the bag. You’re far better off under-fertilizing than over-fertilizing. 3) Rinse out the spreader after use with a garden hose before putting it away. All of the metal parts will rust and freeze up if you don’t.

4) Seal partial bags of fertilizer with duct tape and store them in a dry place.

Otherwise, you’ll have a solid block of fertilizer next time you want to use it. 5) If you’ve reseeded some areas, cover them with plastic before fertilizing the main lawn so you won’t burn the new seedlings. – www.familyhandyman.com

Taking down down – Some washing machines allow for washing down bedding items. Check and see whether your washer has an agitator, and if it doesn’t, it could work, according to Carolyn Forte, GHRI’s Home Appliances and Cleaning Department director. A good way to keep things fluffy that you may not know works is adding a new tennis ball or new canvas sneaker to the mix in the dryer. – www.goodhousekeeping.com

Better wash your hands – What household item has ‘200 more times more fecal matter’ in comparison to a toilet seat? According to Charles Gerba at the University of Arizona, it’s the cutting board in the kitchen. – www.goodhousekeeping.com

Tape-up – If you’re laying bricks or stone in the backyard and want to protect your fingers, you don’t have to slip into bulky gloves. Grab 1-1/2” athletic tape and wrap your digits up. Your grip won’t suffer. – www. familyhandyman.com

Mind the gaps – To prevent chilly air and sneaky rodents from coming inside, invest in foam and caulk to seal gaps and cracks in foundation and walls. To fill larger openings, use Great Stuff, an expanding foam filler that comes out of an aerosol can which can be painted, sanded and stained. Around windows and doors, try a white, paintable caulk. It should stay soft, so you can peel it off easily if you make mistakes, plus, it should last many years. – www.goodhousekeeping.com

Creating a deluxe master shower Commentary by David Decker

The first thing many people do when they wake up in the morning (myself included) is head for the shower. Starting off with a soothing shower always puts me in the indoors right frame of mind to tackle the day. The master bathroom shower has evolved from a spot to get clean quickly into a luxurious retreat complete with multiple showerheads, massage units, body sprayers and electronic controls. Additionally, luxury showers are increasing in popularity because they take up less space and are less hazardous for aging homeowners than bathtubs.

There isn’t necessarily an ideal size for a master shower, since the measurements will be dependent on the amount of space you have available. If you want two people to be able to fit in the shower comfortably at once, the width of the shower will need to be at least 60 inches. When planning the setup of your shower, you’ll want to make sure that you can comfortably reach the temperature control when showering. Otherwise you may get uncomfortable if the water gets too cold or (worse) scald yourself if it gets too hot.

When you know the amount of space you have to work with, you can begin the process of choosing your showerhead (or showerheads).

Rain showerheads are designed to be affixed to the ceiling and give off a spa-like feeling. Showers shared by two people could benefit from two

showerheads with adjustable water pressure settings. Most of the time, dual showerheads are installed either facing each other or side-by-side.

You’ll probably want to make sure that one (or both) of the showerheads is a handheld model since they are so versatile and easy-to-use. For added luxury, you might choose to install jets or body sprays. Some models can even be controlled by a remote control system.

Rectangular shower benches have traditionally been a staple of shower design. Today, many designers are innovating the conventional design or leaving them out completely. You could even choose to install a fold-up shower bench that can be stowed when not in use. A bench is really up to you and the amount of space available.

The only downside to all of these new developments in shower technology is the added cost on your monthly water bill. However, you can seek out low-flow showerheads, which are designed to save water in an environmentally friendly way. Consider all of your options during a bathroom remodel to ensure you make the best selection and add value to your home.
