Range Line, Carmel Drive could be 100th roundabout

30 South Range Line Road Carmel, IN 46032 317.489.4444 info@youarecurrent.com The views of the columnists in Current in Westfield are their own and do not necessarily reflect the positions of this newspaper.

Roundabout supporters will be excited to see Carmel become the first U.S. city to enter the “century club.”

Transportation Carmel’s 100th roundabout will likely be complete before the end of 2016. Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said it looks like it could be the intersection of Range Line Road and Carmel Drive in mid-November or early December. Of course, with bad weather or delays due to utility work or other complications, that could change. Originally, it was thought the roundabout could be complete before Thanksgiving, but that might not happen.

Brainard said his marketing team is planning a celebration when the 100th roundabout is complete, and it’ll be more than just a ribbon cutting.

“We’re looking to see which one it might be,” Brainard said. “It’ll be a party, we think.”

Brainard said Carey Road and Hawthorne Drive might be roundabout No. 98, and Gray Road and 116th Street might be No. 99.

A year after being elected to his first term in 1996, Brainard saw the construction of the city’s first roundabout at 126th Street and Hazel Dell Parkway on Carmel’s east side. The city had more

than 40 roundabouts by 2009 and topped 70 in 2011.

IN OTHER NEWS: • Speaking of roundabouts, Brainard said the city has bought the U.S. rights to a British calendar that named one of Carmel’s roundabouts as the most beautiful in the world.

The roundabout on Horseferry Road, just south of Main Street within the Village of West Clay, earned the title of “International Roundabout of the Year” for 2016 by the UK Roundabout Appreciation Society.

• Brainard said hundreds of calendars are being printed to be sold in the All Things Carmel store on Main Street, along with other shops. The price hasn’t been decided.

• Brainard said he’s happy with the city’s road construction schedule but did note there’s a delay for the construction on 126th Street just east of Range Line Road. He said utility work took five weeks longer than expected and now it doesn’t appear the eastbound lane will be complete this fall as hoped. He said he’s optimistic crews can catch up with good weather, but he acknowledged that 20 days is a lot of time to make up.

Community Garden accepting applications – The Plots to Plates Community Garden is accepting applications for plots for the 2017 season. The garden is on the grounds of Carmel Middle School. Plots rent for $10 per season and are available for Carmel residents or CCS employees. For more, contact garden@ ccsgreenteam.org.

Coat drive – Local orthodontist David Judy and the Judy Orthodontics Team are sponsoring Warm Up for Winter through Nov. 30.

Donations of new or gently used winter wear such as coats, hats, gloves and scarves can be dropped off at the Judy Orthodontics office at 3965 W. 106th St., Suite 150. Donations will benefit the Julian Center.

Extended BMV hours – In advance of Election Day, BMV license branches will extend hours Nov. 7 and 8 to issue ID cards and driver’s licenses that may be used for identification at a polling place. All branches will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Nov. 7 and from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Nov. 8. License branches will only process new, amended or replacement ID cards, and renewed, amended or replacement driver’s licenses and learner permits.

New driver’s licenses and learner permits will be processed provided the customer has previously completed all required testing.

Students hold mock elections – On Nov. 8, students across Indiana, including at Carmel Elementary, Forest Dale Elementary and Carmel Middle School, will elect their own governor, president and senator in a show of active citizenship through Indiana Kids’ Election (IKE), an award-winning mock election program. IKE is based on the premise that voting is only occasionally done by inspiration but more often done by habit. With its special emphasis on encouraging students to develop one’s voting habit at an early age, IKE attempts to emulate the election process as closely as possible.

Q&A: Ice rink details unveiled

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said he’s received a big response from his surprise announcement Oct. 11 that the city news City of Carmel would construct an ice skating rink on the site of the center green south of The Palladium. This is where the Carmel Farmers Market is held in the spring and summer.

The city has hired Rundell Ernstberger Associates for Brainard the design work. Brainard answered the following: WHO WILL MANAGE THE ICE SKATING RINK? Brainard said it hasn’t been decided, but it likely won’t be the Carmel Clay Parks Dept.

It’s possible the city streets department will have some labor involved for upkeep, and a nonprofit will be formed to help manage the area, especially the Christkindle marketplace surrounding the rink. The Christkindle marketplace comes from a Germanic tradition of setting up temporary storefronts to sell handmade Christmas ornaments. Brainard said the nonprofit will manage the winter tenants, similar to the work done by the Carmel Farmers Market in the same space in the spring.

Brainard said there will be a kiosk for skate rentals and hot chocolate also will be sold.

HOW MUCH WILL IT COST? The total project cost will be a little more than $5 million, including design. The city hasn’t signed contracts yet.

WHEN WILL IT BE COMPLETE? Brainard said the project should wrap up approximately a year from now. Construction should start in the summer and be complete by fall or winter. He said Nov. 1, 2017, might be a reasonable guess for an opening day. He said there will be a compressor to cool the ice so skating could possibly continue until March.

HOW WILL THIS AFFECT THE NEARBY CARMEL ICE SKADIUM? Some people have noted there’s already a small business within walking distance of The Palladium that offers indoor ice skating. Brainard said he doesn’t think this outdoor rink will hurt that business.

“I don’t think so,” he said. “Most of their time is for hockey. We have a meeting set. Maybe they can help us with the management.”

Brainard noted that an increase in interest in ice skating could actually help their business, pointing to the bike share program leading to more customers for stores that sell bicycles.

WILL THE CARMEL FARMERS MARKET BE AFFECTED? Brainard said yes, but not in a negative way. He said there will be more space for Carmel Farmers Market vendors when the hard surface is in place.

‘Window Warriors’ features former Carmel resident

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Window dressers don’t usually get garner much attention.

That will change with a new TV show.

Spenser Zalkin, who entertainment grew up in Carmel, is one of eight window merchandising design contestants competing for $100,000 in Game Show Network’s “Window Warriors,” a six-episode series that premieres at 9 p.m. Nov. 15.

“Even the fashion industry itself doesn’t pay much attention to us,” Zalkin said. “It’s nice to have someone show what we do and how much work goes into it. It’s kind of an overlooked profession.”

The work isn’t lucrative, either.

“This is something we do because we love doing it,” Zalkin said.

A co-worker was contacted by officials with the show and he referred them to Zalkin, a window dresser for Bloomingdale’s in New York City. Zalkin submitted his portfolio and audition video. Twenty contestants were flown to Los Angeles, and each did a window.

Zalkin said they chose the eight who did the best window. A few weeks later, he learned he was selected.

Zalkin, 28, can’t comment on the results.

In addition to the grand prize, the winner will receive a contract to design displays for a top mall developer..

“It was intense,” Zalkin said. “It was really difficult creating these windows in a short

amount of time. Normally, these take a week to do with a team of people. We only had three days to create a window alone. We had to come up with ideas really fast. There were times you would hit a creative wall and you had to break out of it.”

Zalkin was working at a coffee shop at Nordstrom in Southern California when he saw people putting the window displays together and thought he could do it better.

“For a year, I assisted the visual team at Nordstrom’s and learned how to do it. After the year was up, Nordstrom moved me to Denver to take on a store of my own,” he said.

Nordstrom then moved Zalkin, who lives in Jersey City, N.J., to a Nordstrom in New Jersey.

He wanted to work in Manhattan and got his wish when Bloomingdale’s called 3 1/2 years ago. In 2015, he served as the creative director for the Plaza Hotel holiday setup. In addition, he does window designs for Bergdorf Goodman.

obituary: Brenda Sue Kipp King Brenda Sue Kipp King, 64, died Oct. 24. She was born Dec. 9, 1951, in Huntington, W.V., to John Kipp, Jr. and Juanita Francis Kipp.

Brenda was the second child of nine siblings.

She graduated from Ohio University in 1973. She married Ernest Ye-Chung King July 27, 1974. She received a master's degree in education from Virginia Tech in 1975. She loved teaching children, especially grades 1-3. She was a beloved teacher for more than 30 years with a career that spanned communities in Virginia, Ohio and Indiana. In December 2011, she retired from teaching. She enjoyed retirement to the fullest. She traveled with her husband and family, studied family ancestry and helped chair the Kipp family reunions. She loved family celebrations and photography.

She helped teach her beloved grandchildren in Carmel, where the family resides.

She is survived by her husband, Ernest Ye-Chung King; daughters Jennifer King Halvorsen and Stefanie King Wood; son King in-laws Leif Eric Halvorsen and Matthew Thomas Wood; five beautiful grandchildren Erica Anne Halvorsen, Scott Ernest Halvorsen, Luke Everett Halvorsen, Audrey Olivia Wood and Kingston Thomas Wood; brothers John Micheal Kipp, Gregory Scott Kipp and Mark Aaron Kipp; sisters Theresa Kipp McCormick, Deborah Kipp Lawson and Donna Kipp McMullin; and by her siblings' spouses and loving nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her father, John Kipp Jr.; her mother, Juanita Francis Kipp; sisters, Barbara Kipp Parks and Rhonda Kipp Gibbs; and a granddaughter, Olivia Brynn Halvorsen.

A parting glass

Commentary by Jonathan Matthes

Well, here it is, the last installment. I want to say a big “thank you” to all of you who have followed the entire series, or picked it up halfway, or just started. I’ve had a blast, and hopefully you’ve had some fun reading along, too.

If you want more “Inaugurally Addressed,” just incessantly email the editors.

Remember, the more obnoxious a little kid is, the more likely the trip to Disney World becomes. But seriously, we’ve come a long way and covered a lot of ground. Robert Todd Lincoln, check. James Buchanan, check. Calvin Coolidge, quadruple check.

The next time someone says, “This election is the worst,” you can say, “Well, let me tell you about Andrew Jackson.”

But that’s a long enough stroll down memory lane. I thought it’d be nice to offer you these three Hoosier-election factoids as a parting glass. Enjoy.

1. Mike Pence could become the fifth Hoosier vice president. Schuyler Colfax in 1868, Thomas Hendricks in 1884, Thomas R. Marshall in 1912 and

1916, and Dan Quayle in 1988 were the other four. I don’t know about you, but that’s more than I thought.

2. Three men with significant Indiana ties have been president: William Henry Harrison, Abraham Lincoln and Benjamin Harrison. Benjamin, an Indiana resident, was William’s grandson.

Little Ben was 7 when William died, meaning they were all alive at the same time.

3. Indiana has been a part of 50 elections and has been with the winning ticket 37 times. That’s a .740 batting average, or the same as LeBron James’ career free-throw percentage.

Interesting, right?

Anyway, the election is Nov. 8. I know we’re all not exactly pumped about the prospects. But if there’s a takeaway from “Inaugurally Addressed,” it’s that we all get to do it again in four years. Whether that’s hopeful or dreadful, I leave up to you.

Roads have come a long way

By Terri Horvath • news@currentincarmel.com The streets of Carmel during its first 150 years were crude and filled with potholes.

Most were just dirt back in the day and mud with a gravel blacktop for primary roads.

By 1910, residents realized the deplorable state of their roads and decided to make improvements. During that year, a downtown street was paved with brick. In 1922, East Main Street was paved with concrete. West Main Street was paved in 1924.

The trend in road improvements in U.S. communities coincided with the growing popularity of the automobile. People wanted an affordable car, but they also needed good roads to drive it on.

In 1909, there were 2.2 million miles of roads in the U.S. Only about 190,000 miles were surfaced. The majority of surfaced area was in major urban areas, which accommodated automotive traffic. Most country roads, however, were simply dirt. Rain quickly turned these roads into thigh-deep mud ruts, making automotive travel extremely difficult. Many motorists had to enlist the aid of a nearby horse team to extract them from the quagmire.

The nation needed good roads, particularly for automotive travel to expand beyond being a fad for the rich. Intrepid explorers and innovators joined in the Good Roads Movement, which turned local advocacy into a national political campaign. Organizations developed such cross-county projects as the coast-to-coast, east–west Lincoln Highway in 1913, which runs across the northern part of Indiana.

Jud Scott explains aerial rescue to FFA visitors. (Submitted photo)

FFA students visit Vine & Branch news@currentincarmel.com Vine & Branch, a Carmel-based tree care and plant health care firm, recently provided an agriculture career path tour for students in town for the National FFA Organizatour tion conference.

Jud Scott, president of Vine & Branch, asked Salsbery Brothers Landscaping to participate so the tour showcased arboriculture and horticulture. On the day of the tour, more than 50 students from all parts of the country — from New York City to Alaska — split their time between the two companies.

Scott planned an interactive tour that included demonstrations of a Wood-Mizer portable saw mill, several pieces of equipment provided by John Deere and Vermeer, a climbing arborist, tree trimming with the use of a spider lift and an aerial rescue of Clay, the Carmel Indiana Fire Dept. mannequin, from a 40-foot tree. Students also got a chance to

handle the climbing safety harness and ropes.

“I thought the students loved the interaction with something different than they were used to. Some had experience with sawmills but liked the tree climbing side. The gear and equipment were flashy, and the students seemed enamored,” Scott said. “And one of the parent monitors commented that they hadn’t considered the possibilities of arboriculture with their students.”

In addition to demonstrations, Scott spoke of the importance of certification, safety and involvement in the tree care industry.

The tour also included time with a representative from the International Society of Arboriculture, who answered students’ questions. In addition, the ISA offered a free student membership to anyone interested.

The National FFA’s annual convention, which ran from Oct. 19-22, drew approximately 64,000 visitors.

Record cross country run grows

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com There are several factors in Carmel High School building a girls cross country dynasty.

A supportive community with the Pup Running program for fourth ACHIEVEMENT and fifth graders and strong middle school programs are big factors, Greyhounds coach Mark Ellington said.

“We have a common goal about giving students opportunities to compete and be in races,” Ellington said. “That whole culture gives kids the desire to be part of this great trend. Who doesn’t want to be part of a program that builds on success and wins championships? (Former CHS coach Chuck Koeppen) gets a lot of credit for getting it going.”

The Greyhounds extended their own record by capturing their seventh consecutive girls state cross country championship Oct. 29 in Terre Haute. CHS, which previously won five titles in a row (1984-88), finished with 44 points, easily outdistancing Fort Wayne Carroll (113).

“It’s been one of the strongest teams I’ve been part of,” Ellington said.

Carmel swept the top five spots for a perfect score of 15 at the Shelbyville Semistate.

That led to a little bit of a letdown with the state point total, Ellington said.

At the state meet, junior Maddie Dalton placed third, senior Christina Geisler fourth and freshman Phoebe Bates sixth, senior Rachel Anderson 19th and senior Sarah Leinheiser 21st. Leinheiser was the defending individual state champion.

“Maddie, Christina and Phoebe all had tremendous races,” Ellington said. “Rachel and Sarah had a little more trouble, but they all ran good races.”

Anderson won the IHSAA Mental Attitude Award for girls cross country.

Carmel’s boys team placed second to Carroll. Junior Colin Murphy was Carmel’s top finisher at eighth.

MUSIC’S ALWAYS BEEN A PART OF MY MOTHER’S LIFE.

And even as her ability to play goes away, she’s finding that spark with the Music & MemorySM program at The Plaza at The Barrington. By listening to the music she loves, and even some of her own recordings, she’s getting that harmony back. I get the greatest peace of mind knowing The Plaza family really listens to her needs, and knowing my mother is as comfortable and happy as can be.

Tour features mansion, cabin

By Heather Collins • news@currentincarmel.com The Carmel Clay Historical Society’s 20th annual Holiday Home Tour is scheduled for Dec 2 to 4 and will feature three unique properties. holidays Each year, The Carmel Clay Historical Society searches for homes that are historical, feature antiques or collections or are a place of interest.

This year the Holiday Home Tour will feature the Scott Jones Estate, the Kinzer Cabin and the White Chapel Church.

The Scott Jones Estate, 1150 W 116th St., was built in 1939 and renovated in the 1990s by inventor and entrepreneur Scott A. Jones.

It features a 28-foot mahogany indoor slide, a 20-seat home theater and a coral reef aquarium as well as museum-quality antiques and heirlooms.

The estate was awarded Best Crib by MTV in the early 2000s. Scott Jones is the founder of GraceNote and ChaCha and obtained patents for the technology for telephone companies to offer voicemail.

Emily Ehrgott, CCHS executive director, said the Scott Jones mansion will be the “showstopper” of the tour.

The Kinzer Cabin, owned by the Thomas family, is at 1032 E Main St. and includes a house and a cabin. The cabin was built in 1837 and features a built-in curved staircase. The adjacent house was built in the 1850s. The

The Kinzer Cabin is among the properties on the CCHS Holiday Home Tour. (Submitted photo)

Kinzer Cabin will feature outdoor holiday decorations and interior designs. Ehrgott said the Kinzer Cabin will be “decorated to the hilt.”

The third property is the White Chapel Church, 5155 E 116th St., across from Flowing Well Park. Many of the founding members of Carmel are buried in the cemetery behind the church. The White Chapel Church features original pews and stained-glass windows.

Each of the properties have rarely been open to the public.

“It’s really important in Carmel right now to start embracing our history,” Ehrgott said.

“These were some of the first properties here in Carmel. It’ll be a one-of-a-kind tour this year.”

Carmel’s Jenny Feng masters Chinese calligraphy

By Lauren Boughner • news@currentincarmel.com

Meet Jenny Feng

When Jenny Feng came back to Carmel after living in China for three years, she returned with a new talent. She had become skilled at Chinese calligraphy.

“I never thought I would be a calligcover story rapher,” Feng said. “It is now the most important part of my daily life.”

Jenny Feng and her husband, Daming Wang, first moved to Carmel in 2001, but work took Wang to China in 2011. Feng joined him a year later after their son graduated from Carmel High School. When she arrived in China, she told her husband, “You have to find a job for me or else I’d be bored at home.”

That’s when she began taking classes at Wujin Adult College and had a chance to practice calligraphy for the first time.

Wang said he was impressed when he noticed her quick learning curve.

“I didn’t really pay attention,” he said. “But after only a few days, I was so amazed. She was doing really well. It can take years.”

“We both like this art. I’m lucky,” Feng said. “He supports me.”

Soon, Feng was winning competitions and receiving honors for her work. Her calligraphy was featured in newspapers and exhibitions. She was asked to become a teacher, but she and her husband were headed back to the United States.

• Husband: Daming Wang • Children: Rachel and Michael • Church: Chinese Community Church of Indianapolis • Has lived In: China, England, New Hampshire, Carmel • Calligraphy fonts mastered: bronze, clerical, regular, semicursive, large seal, small seal • Favorite font: clerical • Favorite caricature: happiness • Hardest letters to do: the smaller letters because they require less strokes • Her calligraphy style: “calm, soft and pretty,” she said • Biggest accomplishment: being recognized by the Chinese Calligraphers Association • Hobbies: gardening, taking care of her four chickens, knitting

Calligraphy as art In Chinese, calligraphy means, “The way, method or law of writing.” The practice is thousands of years old, Wang said. It is read from top to bottom, right to left. It is still taught in Chinese schools in art classes during the week.

Wang explained that calligraphy is not craft but art, allowing the artist to develop a unique style.

“It’s an acquired personality,” Wang said. Feng is still working on developing her own style.

The art form itself offers many benefits to the artist.

“You can hear the sounds of brush on paper. It is like music,” Feng said. “It is purifying.”

Calligraphy also is closely tied to water ink painting, which Feng also does. Both art forms use similar tools, such as writing brushes, ink slabs and xuan paper. Wang explained that with both techniques, “you have to hold your breath and suspend your wrist in the air.”

Because of the special breathing techniques required, Feng said lots of Chinese calligraphers have a long life.

“It makes me forget my worries,” she said.

Feng’s practice Back in Carmel, Feng still keeps her passion for calligraphy alive by practicing three to four hours a day. She has the unique talent of writing in six different fonts.

“I am very proud, because most calligraphers can only do

one,” she said.

Feng said she finds that her calligraphy connects her to others in Carmel who have Chinese heritage. She said it is “great that more than just my husband appreciates it.”

Others are interested as well, and she has been asked to teach classes but has yet to do so.

Volunteering at the Carmel Clay Public Library also fills Feng’s time. She showed her work at the Dragon Boat Festival that took place in June at the library. She said she likes how her calligraphy can help people appreciate Chinese culture.

Feng does not sell her work.

“I collect it for myself,” she said. “If I have more, maybe I will sell it. I really enjoy all the work.”

Explore Atterbury-Bakalar

Commentary by Jennifer Ingersoll

The Atterbury-Bakalar Air Museum is located on the former Bakalar veterans day Air Force Base and current Columbus Municipal Airport. Originally known as Atterbury Army Air Field when built in 1942, the base was renamed Bakalar and used for reservist training through 1970. William Atterbury and John Bakalar were Hoosier war heroes. To preserve the rich past of the Base, the museum displays items of Army/Air Force history during the periods of World War II through Vietnam.

Exhibits include an F-4 Phantom Jet, displayed outside the entrance as well as handcrafted 1/8 scale model aircraft some with a 15-foot wingspan. Meticulously created, all of the model planes either flew from the Air Base or by one of the museum volunteers. A barracks display shares the tight and sparse living quarters for the trainees, while the World War II glider pilot exhibit exposes the unbelievable sacrifices made by the brave men.

Other exhibits include the Tuskegee Airmen and a World War II jeep that on examination show the driver and passenger were literally sitting on the gas tank of the vehicle. There is an exhibit dedicated to a brave set of World

War II pilots that did not receive recognition by the military. Known as the Women’s Air Force Service Pilots, or WASPs, these women were not allowed to fly in combat, yet were often used for extremely dangerous missions, including test pilots.

The Air Museum is free admission and open from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m., Tuesdays - Saturdays. A self-paced museum, guests can take their time to explore. But to really know the history and understand the sacrifices taken, talk to one of the museum volunteers, many former pilots and servicemen.

Born and raised a Hoosier, Jenni Ingersoll is a contributing writer for an online travel magazine, The Travelers Way (thetravelersway. com) and enjoys traveling with her family, exploring destinations close to home and a little farther away.

State law change to election ballot impacts straightparty voting editorial@youarecurrent.com According to the Association of Indiana Counties, Inc., voters planning to cast a straight-party ballot in the Nov. 8 election need to be aware of changes to the general election ballot which could impact their final ballot selections.

Senate Enrolled Act 61, which takes effect for the first time in the upcoming general election, requires voters to select individual candidates when voting for any at-large offices.

“Voters still have the option to cast a straightparty ballot, but it is important to note this option will not cast votes for candidates running for any at-large offices, school board positions, nor will choosing the straight-party option cast votes for any public questions,” stated Debbie Walker, president of Association of Clerks of Circuit Courts of Indiana. “Voters must proceed to that position on the ballot and make their selections to cast their votes for those offices or questions.”

The Association of Clerks of Circuit Courts of Indiana and the Association of Indiana Counties urge voters to educate themselves about their ballot options.

Walker, who also serves as Henry County Clerk of the Circuit Court, said, “On behalf of all clerks of the circuit court of Indiana and the Association of Indiana Counties, we want to ensure voters are aware of this new law and do not inadvertently fail to cast their votes for at-large offices.”

Pining for an empty nest

F R O M T HE BA C K SH O P

It’s the best we could do?

Nearly two years ago, we predicted here that Hillary Clinton would win the race for the White House. Polling this week leaves us in doubt about that. Her opponent, Donald Trump, has gained mightily in sampling - not so much because he’s “the answer” but because she is “the question.” With the unraveling of the Clinton machine - what with pay to play, getting debate questions in advance (thanks, Donna Brazile!) and total ineptitude with respect to email statements and servers, among other “attributes” - her campaign is looking sickly as we head for the Nov. 8 vote. Let us be frank: To quote the egomaniacal Trump, having Clinton as president would be a “disaster.” Having him? Questionable. The Clinton machine sinks deeper than any. Former President Richard Nixon was forced from office for the Watergate scandal. We believe that everything Clinton has done makes Watergate look like Romper Room. Is it rigged, as he suggests? Yes, we believe it is. The Democratic National Committee all but locked out Bernie Sanders, and, of course, there was the feeding of debate questions along with the Bill Clinton-Loretta Lynch “chat about grandchildren.” Please! Maybe it’s not the corruption that raises eyebrows here anymore, but how stupid the machine believes all of us are. We wouldn’t want her within 100 miles of a seat of power. These candidates are what we as a nation have given ourselves? If there is anything we like about Trump, it’s that he has brought the spineless Republican Party almost to its knees. If there’s anything we regard about Clinton, it’s that she married well.

Sadly, that is that.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

A co-mission Commentary by Terry Anker A basic principal of the law is the distinction between commission and omission.

One points to those times when a person is proved to have committed an act prohibited by a particular code or rule. Alternatively, one can be held liable if they should have taken a specific action but failed to do so.

The former is fairly straight forward.

Namely, one steals from another, violating the local law, and is held to account for the transgression. The latter can be a bit more complicated. Imagine a therapist who believes that his patient may have violent tendencies. Does the doctor have an obligation to report the potential criminal to the police or should he protect her privacy?

What if the patient disclosed that she had already killed her husband and was storing him in the freezer – would the doctor be an accessory to the crime if he simply omitted disclosure? What if the patient killed again?

Should the therapist have tried to prevent

it? Must he have?

On Nov. 8, many of us will cast a ballot to select a new leader of the free world. And, we carry with us into the voting booth any number of deeply held beliefs. Some of them have been tested by close examination and others have not. Without a doubt, a few will negatively judge the choices we make. Others will sympathize.

Do we have a co-mission – to vote and to make a perfect choice? If we cannot, can we opt out? Is how we vote as important as knowing that we did? This is a year where many believe committing the act of voting for president is a near crime while a choice to omit is a high road alternative. Can we judge those who vote “wrong” more harshly than those who fail to mark a ballot at all?

Q U O T E O F T HE WEE K We stand today at a crossroads: One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness. The other leads to total extinction.

Let us hope we have the wisdom to make the right choice.

– Woody Allen

As I sit contemplating a recent email, I’m reminded that my husband Doo and I are on the verge of something humor wonderful. The aforementioned message was from our medical provider, dutifully informing us that we no longer have access to our oldest’s health records, including the diagnosis and prescribed care for a broken nose he suffered yesterday on his 18th birthday (yes, the same kid who crashed his grandfather’s car on Mother’s Day, four days after receiving his driver’s license, was on the wrong end of a particularly hard and pointy elbow during a PE class basketball game. Of course, I’ve already been blamed, as I’m the mean mom who refused to call him out for first period so he could sleep in on his most special of days).

We are now officially the parents of an adult, albeit one with a now slightly crooked nose. And even though science says his brain won’t be fully developed until he’s 25, I am within my legal rights to kick him out of the house and wish him best of luck. Hallelujah! Not that we have any mind to do so, but it’s comforting to know we have the option. Am I right?

But I digress. The point is, Doo and I are fast-approaching a new phase in our lives, one without carpool duties, homework panic attacks and band fundraisers. God willing, all four of our precious little angels will be gone in less than six years. I know that parenting never gets easier, that my children will always cause me worry, but I have to admit I am totally looking forward to a Wilson empty-nest.

So in addition to a dangerous but kinda-cool crossbow gift and a hilarious “What’s-Up? Chicken Butt” card, we celebrated the bejeesus out of this milestone birthday. A cupcake breakfast, Spongebob balloons and a Benihana dinner. Throw in an emergency room visit and you have the makings of, if not a perfect day, at least a memorable one.

Happy 18th, my darling! Dad and I are thrilled HIPAA now applies to you! Peace out.

Washing my hands of it Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Last week, an Indianapolis doctor published an article in the New York Times with this startling admission: “I will humor eat food that has fallen on the kitchen floor.” Pediatrician Aaron Carroll claims a kitchen floor is not that dirty, at least compared to other germ-laden parts of the house. Putting food back on the platter after it was dropped on the floor would be dangerous to my health. My wife would kill me.

Dr. Carroll is the author of two books about medical myths, debunking fallacies like needing to drink eight glasses of water a day, the human’s inability to digest gum and that eating turkey makes you drowsy (Thanks. Now we all need a new excuse for snoring during Uncle Leo’s war stories this Thanksgiving).

Dr. Carroll’s mentor is University of Arizona microbiologist Charles Gerba, known as Dr. Germ, who attained recognition for his famous study (this is true) where he numbered sheets of toilet paper in public restrooms to determine who used more paper, men or women.

After his research was published, he was not invited to the office Christmas party. By the

way, when Dr. Gerba completed his study, he passed the research paper around the faculty lunch room. Many were skeptical of his germ theories, but they all ended up with his cold.

Both Dr. Gerba and Dr. Carroll agree that the kitchen floor is far cleaner than the arm rest on your easy chair, and still not as disgusting as your can-opener, which is almost pristine compared to your TV remote. Toilet seats are relatively germ-free, at least compared to the handle on your fridge door. If you drop half a tuna sandwich on the floor, you can eat it, but if you want to put it back in the refrigerator, use your foot to open the door. Gerba also claims the most dangerous bacteria are on the handset of an office telephone. In fact, dining off a toilet seat in the company bathroom is actually safer, germ-wise. Bon appetit.

By the way, I just heard that Kanye West might dump Kim Kardashian. I figure that after reading this column, you might enjoy a little dirt.

Riley, Colts promote safe sleep

By Heather Collins • news@currentincarmel.com Riley Children’s Health and the Indianapolis Colts have announced prevention their partnership for the sleep safe initiative to help reduce infant deaths and increase positive outcomes for Hoosier babies. Matthew Cook, president of Riley Children’s Health, Kalen Jackson, vice chair and co-owner of the Indianapolis Colts, and Dr. Jerome Adams, state health commissioner for the Indiana State Dept. of Health, made the announcement Oct. 12 at IU Health North Hospital.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, roughly 3,500 infants die suddenly and unexpectedly each year in the U.S. “We have the power, through partnership to change this,” Adams said.

When used properly, sleep sacks ensure safe sleep for newborns and help reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).

The sleep sack is a blanket swaddle and can be used to replace the use of loose blankets, which can be hazardous and potentially fatal for newborn babies.

During the announcement, representatives of IU Health and the Indianapolis Colts, as well as the state health commissioner, stressed

Music & Memory benefits seniors

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Mary Best is a perfect candidate for Music & Memory, a personalized music therapy program. therapy Music has always been a big part of The Barrington of Carmel resident’s life. Best, 86, majored in music at the Jordan School of Music at Butler University and was an organist at Irvington United Methodist Church in Indianapolis and a music teacher at Heritage Christian School.

Best was diagnosed with Lewy body dementia five years ago, a condition that can resemble Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s disease and is sometimes difficult to diagnose.

“She does wake up, and she is more aware,” said Christine Best Perkins, her daughter who lives in Westfield. “It’s nice because a lot of time when I come she’s almost in a catatonic state or she has her eyes closed. The music helps her come out of it more. She’s more responsive.”

Perkins said her mother told her years ago that she didn’t want to lose her music.

“She had recorded herself playing hymns and other songs,” Perkins said. “I put that on the iPod and she is listening to herself play

Son’s death leads father to find addiction cure

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Following his son Aristotle’s overdose from prescription drugs at age 24 in September 2015, Joseph Pappas went drugs searching for answers.

He hoped to find a solution to keep other fathers from his intense sorrow.

Pappas has opened Emerald Neuro-Recover Centers, which provides treatment for people suffering from addiction to opiates, heroin, meth, alcohol and other substances.

“If no other father has to go through what I have to go through, I’ll feel like I’ve accomplished a lot,” Pappas said. “I really feel as I’ve been called to this.”

Aristotle, known as Ari, was a standout running back at Bishop Chatard High School.

“He lost his mother his senior year and was never the same (after her death),” Pappas said. “He got a (football) scholarship to Ball State and broke his hand as a freshman. They prescribed opiates.”

His father didn’t realize how bad his addiction had gotten until near the end.

“This is what I do for him,” Pappas said.

The center uses intense IV NAD+Amino Acids Therapy. NAD stands for Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide, a coenzyme found in all living cells. The clinic opened in Fishers in the summer but moved to 12289 Hancock St., Suite 36, in Carmel in September.

Pappas, a Westfield resident, said the treatment helps cure cravings. The average treatment is six to 10 hours a day for 10 days, but Pappas said some patients need longer.

“We restore the brain by IV therapy to its pre-addiction neurologic levels,” Pappas said.

“We get rid of all the cravings. We get rid of all the withdrawals. We get rid of the anxiety and depression that are associated with the withdrawals of opiates.”

Pappas said Emerald is the only facility in the Midwest using the protocol, which helps to flush drugs from the body, rebalancing and realigning the brain’s neurotransmitters.

Caleb Moe, 25, had been to nine other rehab facilities for his heroin addiction, and each time he has relapsed. On his ninth day of a 12-day treatment, Moe said his cravings rated

a two on a scale of one to 10.

“When I came in, the cravings were at an all-time high,” Moe said.

His father paid for the treatment as a last chance.

Wes, a 24-year-old from Avon who didn’t want his last name used, completed the treatment Sept. 15. He has had no desire to use drugs since then.

“It’s almost like I completely hate drugs now,” said Wes, who is going to Ivy Tech in January to become a nurse.

The NAD IV treatment costs $12,500 to $15,000. It is not covered by insurance. Pappas said it is still considered experimental, even though it has been used for years.

“We’re trying to get it approved by the VA, and that will open the door to other insurance companies,” Pappas said. “I’m hoping within the next two years we’ll be covered by insurance.”

Pappas is assisted by Dr. Gabriel Rosenberg, a Carmel resident and long-time pediatrician, and Dr. William Jones, a psychiatrist.

Rosenberg said the NAD treatment has an 87 to 90 percent success rate of patients staying off drugs.

“To me, this is so exciting,” Rosenberg said.

“We’re in a terrible epidemic of drug abuse everywhere. This will help them get back to school, get back to life and be a useful citizen.”

Joe Hess’ band to play NYE

Palladium officials were seeking a concerts country band, and a third party recommended Hess’ band.

“It was exciting to get the call from the Palladium, and when they decided to have us there, that was really cool,” said Hess, who has lived in McCordsville for 11 years.

The New Year’s Eve Extravaganza will start at 9 p.m. Hess’ band will play in the Founders Room at the Palladium From left, Larry Shepard, Joe Hess, Tony Randolph and Tracy McKee form Joe Hess in Carmel.

The Impalas, & the Wandering Cowboys. (Submitted a party band, photo) will play on the Palladium stage. The Scott Routenberg Jazz Trio will be in the Songbook Lounge. DJ Lockstar will play in the Robert Adam Room.

Hess, 40, said the group plays mostly covers because it doesn’t have enough original songs for the longer shows they play.

“We have six songs on an EP ('Chapter I') we recorded, either written by me or writers from Nashville, Tennessee, and we incorporate that into our sets,” Hess said. “The kind of covers we play range from Johnny Cash to Garth Brooks up to the newer stuff like Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan.”

Hess, the vocalist, and Larry Shepard, guitar, Hartford City, are the two original members. Tony Randolph, drums, Selma, and Tracy McKee, bass, Nashville, Tenn., have since joined.

A professional land surveyor, Hess recently changed jobs so he could do part-time work and devote more time to his music.

There will be a 'Chapter 1' release party Nov. 12 at 8 Seconds Saloon, Indianapolis. Doors open at 6 p.m. and Hess’ band will play at 10 p.m. Two autographed guitars will be given away. To get in free, Hess said to send him a message at Facebook.com/joe.hess.7758 or jhtwc.com for tickets or tell the door attendant they are there to see his band.

For the New Year’s Eve party, tickets are $65 before Dec. 1, $85 after, including food and party favors. For more, visit thecenterpresents.org.

It was formed in 2015 and consists of 40 singers ranging from 30 to 70 years old with a wide range of performance backgrounds. The FCC is an outlet for residents of Fishers to share their passion for performing with the community.

“With different backgrounds and experiences, I think we work stronger as a team as each person can bring a different ingredient that helps mold and shape our unique choral sound,” said Schuyler Brinson, music director and conductor for the Fishers Community Chorus. “In many ways I think of it as the individual ingredients that are in a recipe. Each provides something unique and important to the food we’re preparing. When they are combined, you end up with a wonderful product.

The same is true for a choir. When you combine everyone and mold and shape the sound, the end result is a unique and blended choral ensemble.”

The FCC is a volunteer group. Brinson said

he enjoys the challenge of taking individual voices and molding them into a unified sound.

During the rehearsal process, Brinson encourages the choral members to perform and tell the stories of each of the songs.

“I believe it’s one thing to simply sing the text, but it’s another to make the notes and words on the page come alive,” Brinson said.

“An Afternoon on Broadway” features pieces

CHS ready for ‘The Sting’

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel High School senior Blaine McBroom is relishing his role as the ultimate con man in “The Sting.” schools “(Henry) Gondorff organizes the whole thing, so it feels cool to be the puppet master behind the whole operation,” McBroom said. “To play that role has been difficult to understand his different emotions and how he feels about the fact this will be his last con before he retires.”

CHS’s production of “The Sting” is set for 7 p.m. Nov. 10 through 12 at the high school’s Studio Theatre. In addition, there is a 2 p.m. show Nov. 12.

The play is set in Chicago in 1936. Paul Newman played Gandorff and Robert Redford played Johnny Hooker in the 1973 movie, which won an Academy Award for best picture.

“I think it appeals to a very large audience,” said McBroom, who will attend Columbia College Chicago to pursue comedic acting, writing and improv. “I like the twists and how everything comes together at the end.”

Junior Reese Nordeen is cast as Hooker.

“He’s a young and scrappy guy,” Nordeen said. “He’s a pupil under Gondorff, and I’m learning the ways of the con under him. For

“It’s one of the bigger roles I’ve had,” said Burton, in his 10th CHS production. “He’s a menacing character, not something I’ve got to do before. I’m having a lot of fun.”

Director Jim Peterson said the best part of the production is being able to use so many students (42) in the cast.

Dancer to appear in ICB event

Tailgating in the late fall has its temperature challenges. Sometimes we tailgate in the cold morning and then sit in the stadium in the hot sun. Sometimes we tailgate in the afternoon sun and experience a fall in the temperature as the game proceeds into the night. So the question is, “How should we dress for the weather?”

The use of layers is the best strategy. One should have a base clothing layer to regulate body temperature and move moisture away from his or her skin to a second layer, where it spreads along a larger surface area where it can dry more effectively.

For warming nutrition, try this great recipe: Very Simple Tailgate Turkey Chili 5 ways This chili avoids a little of the fat of ground beef without losing any of the flavor we require for pre-game and post-game meals.

You’ll find that the whole tomatoes are very soothing to your throat on a cold day.

Ingredients: 2 lbs. ground turkey, 1 lb. spaghetti, 3 pkgs. McCormick’s Chili Mix (or your favorite), 3 28 oz. cans whole peeled tomatoes (un-drained), 4 15 oz. cans dark red kidney beans (un-drained), Olive Oil. Preparation: The night before, cook pasta according to package directions, then drain and set it aside. Brown the turkey in a large pot with some olive oil. Then add everything else to the pot. Bring the mixture to a low boil and then reduce the heat to allow the chili to simmer for one hour. Stir the mixture occasionally. Allow the chili to cool on your deck or balcony. Then refrigerate overnight. Put pasta

into paper cups with drain holes punched in the bottom to allow water to drain away. Refrigerate the spaghetti cups overnight.

On game day heat the pot of chili to a boil, then remove from heat and place the pot onto a pad in your Coleman powerchill thermoelectric cooler to keep it hot on your trip to the game. You can also add the paper cups of pasta to this heated cooler. Or you can place the chili in a room temperature cooler surrounded with insulating towels and use your grill to heat it at the game. You can heat water at the game or from a thermos and pour it through the cups of pasta before you add them to your individual chili bowls. Serve chili over the spaghetti and add onions and cheese.

If asked, “5-way” means: 1. Spaghetti, 2.

Chili, 3. Beans, 4. Onion, 5. Cheese.

Huntington branch to close

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Huntington Bank’s tenure in Carmel’s Sophia Square will last less than two years.

The 110 W. Main St. branch, Banking which opened in February 2015, will close Jan. 20. Brent Wilder, Huntington’s corporate public relations director, said Sophia Square is part of a ninebranch consolidation spread throughout the company. Wilder said the customer notification started Oct. 19. The customers’ accounts will be transferred to the branch on 998 S. Range Line Rd., less than a mile away.

“We used that Sophia Square branch as a pilot test design branch for the company,” Wilder said. “It was the first time we had tried that type of space and branch design. There is smaller square footage. There was a different interior floor plan. We are continuing to use some of those features within our ongoing branch designs, most notably the 24-hour interior lobby. We decided to close that specific branch even though we’re continuing to expand in Carmel.”

Wilder said bank officials looked at factors such as customer traffic, transactional trends and proximity to other locations. It was all walk-up business because there was no drive-thru.

“It made sense for us at this time to do the consolidation,” Wilder said. “I know it seems like an unusually short period of time, but since (Carmel) is a test market for us, we appreciated the opportunity to test that model at that space. We got the most we were going to get out of the (pilot) experience. We’re still using some of the design elements that we introduced there as we expand into other locations.”

Instead of normal teller lines behind a counter, there was a free-standing teller pod at Sophia Square.

Wilder said the Sophia Square branch had a lean staff.

“We’re looking to absorb them into the branch network or other job opportunities at Huntington,” Wilder said.

Italian restaurant to open Nov. 14

By Heather Collins • news@currentincarmel.com Convivio Italian Artisan Cuisine at 11529 Spring Mill Rd. will open Nov 14. The restaurant will feature cuisine coming soon rooted in Italian tradition with an innovative and creative twist.

Co-owner Andrea Melani said he and his business partner, Emilio Cento, have been working on the concept for Convivio for three years. Cento also is Convivio’s executive chef.

Melani is from Liguria, a region off the Northwest coast of Italy, near France. Melani’s family owned two restaurants in Italy. Melani moved to Indianapolis 17 years ago and has had extensive experience in the Italian restaurant business, including being the general manager of Bravo in Castleton for eight years.

The theme of the restaurant is innovating tradition. Convivio’s recipes consist of original and family recipes and traditional Italian fare.

“We are more open-minded to innovating some of the Italian cuisine,” Melani said. “We are traditional, but very open to creating new things.”

The menu will feature 10 to 12 different

Andrea Melani and Emilio Cento, co-owners of Convivio. (Submitted photo)

shapes of flavored pastas. Pasta flavors will include red bell pepper, spinach and beet.

The restaurant will have a live pasta shop, and all of the pasta is made fresh in-house.

The atmosphere includes a rustic-modern mixed decor of an Italian-style granary, photographs of farming and artisanal workers on the walls, historical illustrations of the history of pasta making, contemporary Italian music and contemporary Italian novelties.

Convivio will be open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Mondays through Thursdays, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Fridays and Saturdays and 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Sundays. For more, visit convivioindy.com.

Great service starts with engaged employees

Commentary by George Kline

Employee engagement receives a great deal of attention. What is meant by that?

Employee engagement is workplace broadly considered to be the relationship between an organization and its employees. Employees who are engaged are enthusiastic about their work and actively support the organization.

It makes sense then that employee engagement is linked to customer experience. Companies with engaged employees have been found to benefit by increased profits, greater productivity, decreased employee turnover and improved customer experience.

According to a recent KPMG study, 70 percent of engaged employees report having a good understanding of customer experience versus only 17 percent of disengaged employees. In the same study, companies with engaged employees experienced a 19 percent increase in income while companies with disengaged employees experienced almost a 33 percent decrease. That’s huge!

Engaged employees work harder for customers, both internal and external, and recommend their company’s products and services.

That’s powerful!

Create a culture of engagement Creating a culture of engaged employees starts with communicating clear goals and expectations. Employees want to know how they contribute to the larger organizational goals and at what level they need to perform to meaningfully contribute.

Understanding how they contribute leads to

a stronger team environment where employees interact, work together and appreciate how others contribute to the organization.

Encouraging innovation engages employees to look for better ways to do things. This is especially true for touch point employees who see first-hand how to improve customer experience.

Encourage open communication Create an environment of open communication that doesn’t criticize new ideas and set up easy channels for employees’ ideas to surface. Connect actions taken to employee suggestions so employees see and understand how their input is used.

Be transparent by sharing information.

Let employees know what is going on in the company — good and bad. Keeping employees in the loop communicates that they are important to the organization and increases the sense of ownership.

Give feedback Give employees ongoing feedback on individual, team and organizational performance.

Annual performance reviews and company updates are inadequate for creating an engaged workplace.

There are many ways to foster employee engagement. Regardless of how it is accomplished, the rewards are tremendous.

Pended sales up 6.1 percent Commentary by Jim Litten Central Indiana’s residential real estate market showed steady growth in September, according to statistics real estate compiled by F.C. Tucker Company. Compared to September 2015, overall pended sales rose 6.1 percent despite homebuyers having 2,118 fewer homes on the market from which to choose. The average sales price increased 2.5 percent to $188,145. Statistics for the 15-county region indicate 2016 pended home sales are on track to exceed last year’s results.

Hamilton County’s pended sales jumped more than 17 percent in September 2016 compared to September 2015. Prices have also increased by 2.8 percent over last year to an average of $285,496. The number of available homes for sale, however, continues to decline in the region; inventory in Hamilton County slid 8.4 percent in August, a drop of 162 homes available compared to this time last year.

• In Carmel, the average year-to-date home sales price increased 1.8 percent to $356,940.

• Inventory moved at a faster pace in Carmel in September 2016. Overall, homes sold in 54 days – 10 fewer days than this time last

year.

• Buyers in Carmel had fewer options available to them. Last month, 554 homes were available for sale – six fewer homes compared to September 2015.

• Pended home sales have grown in Carmel.

In September 2016, 135 homes sold – an increase of 32 homes compared to September 2015.

• Of the pended home sales in Carmel last month, one was priced $2,000,000 or higher, three were priced $1,000,000 to $1,999,999; 14 were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 54 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 38 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; 23 were priced $100,000 to $199,999 and two were priced $99,999 or less.

Despite the drop in homes for sale, home buyers are snatching up available homes rather quickly. Low mortgage rates and appropriately priced homes should keep positive momentum in home buying through the end of 2016.

Help keep leaves out of storm drain grates Submitted content courtesy of the Hamilton County Surveyor’s Office Autumn is upon us. The changing season brings shorter days, beautiful fall colors and cooler temperatures. Auoutdoors tumn also means that the leaves are falling off the trees. Rain and wind can carry these leaves to storm drain grates. The leaves accumulate on the stormwater grates or the leaves travel further and into the storm sewer system and into the open ditches. In either case, this accumulation of leaves and other debris can impede or block the flow of stormwater resulting in localized flooding of yards and roadways. Ponding water in the roadways can lead to unsafe driving conditions and ponding water in rear and side yards is a nuisance and can lead to property damage.

We can all do our part to keep stormwater flowing into the drains. If you see a storm grate or roadside ditch that is clogged and can clear it without placing yourself in danger, please remove the leaves. Watch the weather forecast and remove the leaves before rain is forecasted to fall.

If a roadway grate or side ditch is clogged, use a rake to help reach the leaves without

entering the street. Please do not place yourself in danger when removing the leaves.

• Leaves can be collected and placed in large paper landscape waste bags, mulched into your lawn with a mulching lawn mower or other equipment, or composted on-site.

• Some communities offer leaf removal service. Please confirm with your community that a leaf removal service is provided, the requirements to participate, and the schedule for this service. Unless

your community requires the leaves to be stockpiled along the curb in the roadway, it is best to place leaves within the tree lawn area and not in the roadway itself.

Hamilton County, The White River Alliance and Clear Choices/Clean Water have partnered in the development of the Storm Drain Stewards program. This program allows volunteers to take a service pledge and adopt a storm grate.

Blueprint for Improvement: Outdoor living spaces Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions:

After

The goal was to create low maintenance outdoor living spaces for both entertaining and every day life.

1. The deck footprint was expanded to allow for seating, making this a place for the family to gather and entertain. The Trex composite deck and railing material requires little maintenance to keep it looking new.

2. The staircase was expanded and relocated to allow for more space to dedicate to the grill. The grill now sits in its own alcove with a stainless steel prep shelf.

3. LED deck lights were added down the stairway leading to their existing outdoor fireplace to make evening entertaining easier.

4. Their screened-in porch was transformed into a three-season room with the addition of a new EZE breeze window system. These vinyl glazed panes have the transparency of glass without the cost or weight. When closed they can seal the room to allow for more everyday comforts like baseboard heating and more substantial furniture.

Before Background Info: This 2005-built home in the Dean Road area in Indianapolis was in need of an upgrade to their outdoor living spaces. The homeowners needed a better space to enjoy their lush back yard and pool area.

Before problems: The original deck was stained cedar decking that required a significant amount of maintenance each year. These active homeowners needed an improved outdoor living solution with easy upkeep. Their sunroom was in need of updates to transition it into a three-season room.

Not boring conversations Commentary by Lorene Burkhart

SEASON SPONSOR

PRESENTED BY

ONE STOP. FOUR PARTIES. RING IN THE NEW YEAR IN STYLE!

MEDIA SPONSOR

After settling into my retirement community, I began organizing some fun activities that would encourage folks Seniors to have meaningful conversations. I was certain that the geographical diversity of our residents would provide a rich composite of thoughts.

Each group has 12 people who meet for dinner twice a month with a specific topic for conversation. The group decides the topic for the next discussion so we have a couple of weeks to think about it.

Recently, when the topic was patriotism, a 90-year-old gentleman who was born, raised and educated in Nazi Germany before coming to the U.S. to spend the rest of his life as a research scientist explained the difference between nationalism (Nazi Germany) and patriotism (U.S.). It was most enlightening and provided a perspective that caused us to think about our own heritage.

Another time we shared who was most influential in our lives. We heard from a retired Wisconsin minister, a former Ohio corporate executive, a lady from Chicago who has created a marvelous collection of miniatures and the rest of us who were equally interesting.

As we shared our stories we had a wonderful glimpse into the rich lives of residents who were influenced by teachers, family members and friends.

The second group has been getting acquainted by sharing their stories – where they were born, raised and lived their lives. One lady, from Palo Alto, Calif., lived many years in Lima, Peru with her professor husband. Another lady discovered that she and two other residents grew up within 50 miles of each other in Oklahoma and also share a Cherokee heritage. We’ve also explored the word “trust” and what it means to us personally.

This week we’re sharing stories of our favorite vacation. Just thinking about picking one has caused me to review years of fabulous travel with friends and family. I’ve finally decided to tell about a hilarious week in Colorado with girlfriends when we were all much younger. I can hardly wait to hear the other stories. Nothing boring here!

Lorene Burkhart resides at The Stratford in West Clay. She is the author of seven books.

Passau: Swords and records Commentary by Don Knebel

Passau is sometimes called the City of Three Rivers because it lies at the intersection of the Danube, Inn and Ilz rivers. About once every five years, one of the rivers floods. In 2013, persistent rains caused the Danube to reach levels several feet above the tops of doors in the city center. The outside wall of an old building marks the crests of 10 major floods since 1501. The 2013 waters reached a level not seen in 500 years.

Passau, Germany, prides itself on a record many would think beyond the reach of a city of 50,000. It recently posted travel another record for which its residents were not so happy.

From 999 to 1803, Passau was ruled by a prince-bishop, a bishop with secular powers. Veste Oberhaus, the bishop’s imposing fortress, still overlooks the city from a small mountain across the Danube. A large red wolf from the bishop’s coat of arms adorns the building’s exterior. The wolf once identified Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornswords forged in Passau, which were revered burg LLP.
