Mayor discusses budget with council

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com In proclaiming the 2018 city budget “fiscally sound,” Fishers mayor Scott city Fadness presented a $103,817,303 plan to Fishers City Council on Sept. 18.

The council will vote on it Oct. 16.

Fadness explained the city’s financial discipline by maintaining solid cash reserves prior to presenting Fadness the new budget.

“Every year, we have exceeded our need by millions of dollars in the cash reserve fund, which is a wonderful testament to financial management,” Fadness said. “2017 exceeded $2.9 million (in cash

reserves), and by the end of 2018, we will still be exceeding by $2.4 million, which is a sound financial position for a city to be in.”

In the 2018 budget, the operating and capital will be $89,198,792 and debt service for 2018 will be $14,618,511.

Fadness said 2018 investments will focus on people and capital. They include a 5 percent raise for city employees and offering up to a $1,000 match program for employees investing in a 457 plan.

“Because of our sound financial management and the positive momentum, we will invest in our people,” Fadness said. “This year, we are able to recognize that and reward them accordingly.”

The budget also allows for hiring three police officers; three firefighters; a civilian for administrative work with the police de-

Council divided on salary increase, approves chicken coop What happened: The Fishers City Council voted for an amendment to the salary ordinance to allow for a 5 percent pay raise for city council members and the city judge, 5-2.

What it means: In the 2018 budget, there is a 5 percent salary increase for city employees and the mayor. The salary ordinance did not include city council members or the city judge. Council member Brad DeReamer made the motion to also include council members’ and the city judge’s salary.

The vote passed 5-2, with Eric Moeller and Cecilia Coble voting against raises. The salary ordinance will go before the council for a final vote at its October meeting.

106th Street construction to be closed 400 days

1918-2018

CLEARVISTA LAKE IS

REACHING FOR THE STARS!

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Beginning in November, 106th Street will be closed for 400 days.

Closures will extend along roads the road from Crosspoint Boulevard roundabout to Eller Road, with main intersections at Allisonville and Hague roads remaining open. Construction is mostly for a sewer force main extension to allow for current and future flows, but while construction is ongoing there also will be drainage and street improvements.

The project is expected to cost $12 million.

“It’s a capacity expansion project to allow us to take additional wastewater flows,” said Rick Farnham, director of the water quality division within Fishers Public Works Dept.

Jonathan Valenta, assistant director of the water quality division with Fishers Public Works Dept., said the reason for the force main extension is the city’s growth.

Drainage improvements will be made because of standing water issues. “(The sewer force main) will run down the center of the road, and while we’re doing that we might as well improve the

road,” Valenta said.

The road will remain one lane in each direction, but 3 feet will be added to each lane.

The intersection at Eller Road and 106th Street will be closed when construction starts, but access to Heritage Park and the Ambassador House will remain open.

“Fishers continuously reinvests in its infrastructure to service the basic needs of the community,” Mayor Scott Fadness said.

“While detours associated with this project may be an inconvenience for a period of time, in the long run this is the right thing to do to ensure safe and proper service to residents.”

Thinking about changing your name? While it can be time consuming, the process of changing your name is a fairly simple one.

Did your name change because you recently got married? No problem—head on over to your local Social Security Administration office for an application. You’ll need to bring with you proof of citizenship, documents that prove your identity, and certified documents that reflect your change of name (like a marriage certificate). Was your name changed as part of a divorce decree? The Social Security Administration will make you jump through the same hoops and you’ll need to provide a certified copy of your divorce decree. Changing your name for reasons outside of a marriage or divorce, however, takes a little more effort and requires petitioning your local circuit, superior, or probate court.

Who’s eligible to petition a court for a name change?

Indiana residents may petition a court for a name change if they are at least 17-years-of-age, are not currently incarcerated, and are not currently required to register as a sex or violent offender. If you meet those requirements, you should be good to go and can file a petition in your local county court. You’ll be responsible for paying a filing fee, which can vary from county to county.

Indiana law does have statutory requirements that must be met for a petition for a name change to be valid. What names have you gone by or are associated with? Do you have proof of citizenship? How about a valid U.S. passport? Do you have any felony convictions? Among other requirements, these are just a few key pieces of information that must be contained within a petition for name change.

If you’re requesting a name change on behalf of a minor, expect to meet additional requirements. Most notably, the reason(s) for the name change of a minor must be listed and the written consent of the non-filing parent is almost always required.

Notice requirements must be met before a name change will be granted. After you’ve filed your petition and paid the appropriate filing fee, you still must abide by Indiana’s notice

requirements, all of which need to be met before your scheduled court date. You’ll need to publish 3 weekly notices of your name change petition in your local newspaper, the last of which needs to be published at least 30 days prior to your scheduled hearing. These notices allow interested parties, like a creditor or, in the case of a minor, a parent, to come forward and object to the name change.

Sounds straightforward, right? If you’re changing the name of a minor, you’ll need to include more specific information within the notice than is required for an adult name change. Additional rules also apply if you’ve had a felony conviction within the previous 10 years and noncompliance of the additional notice requirements under the statute could result in a Class A misdemeanor.

Once you’ve completed all your notice requirements, you’ll need to file proof of your publications with the court. This requires a verified affidavit of a disinterested person and, although this is typically handled by a person in charge of handling legal notices at your local newspaper, it’s important to follow up to ensure the court has all required documentation prior to your scheduled name-change hearing.

Don’t forget you’re responsible for notifying applicable agencies of your name change! This is no different than if you change your name due to marriage. Once your name change has been granted by a court, it’s your personal responsibility to make sure government agencies, employers, creditors, and any other interested party are aware of the change. A copy of your court order granting your name change is usually sufficient for most businesses, but some agencies, most specifically government agencies, may require a court-certified copy.

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

If you have questions or concerns regarding name changes, divorce, custody, mediation, collaborative law or any other family law concerns, please contact our firm at 317.DIVORCE or visit our website at www.hzlegal.com.

History on stage Geist resident Donna Wing conducts Candlelight Theatre shows at Harrison home

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com For Donna Wing, her visit to the President Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site was love at first sight.

Wing’s then-12-year-old son, cover story Chris, had been asked to play a part as an interpreter when he was at the Indianapolis historical site.

“An actress dropped out, so I filled in,” Wing said.

“There was never anything I had ever done in my life in theater that was even close – to be able to perform in this kind of setting with an ambient setting, ambient lighting, candlelight. There is all that history, and to actually perform in a room where a U.S. president died, and a room that he was notified he was president, is special. I started mulling that we could do a lot more in this space in the way of theater if the then-CEO/president (Phyllis Geeslin) liked the idea.”

Wing, a longtime Geist area resident, drew up a proposal in April 2003 where, instead of using impromptu interpreters, they would use actors.

“My experience was with stage actors,” Wing said.

“Then I had an idea if a person could come to the theater, sit in a room, watch a play with 19 other people while two other plays were going on in different rooms, then they would rotate and see all three plays. I thought, this is a crazy idea.”

But after the 90-minute proposal, Geeslin was sold.

“We opened in March of 2004 with three plays,” said Wing, who serves as the Candlelight Theatre creative director. “We used Victorian playwrights for the first show. Things have come a long way since then. We opened to an almost sold-out home. We started with six nights. By the third year, we sold out two weeks before we opened. We opened a seventh night and had to turn people away.”

The Candlelight Theater has become a fixture at the home.

“Why the Candlelight Theatre is so important is it allows us to share these stories in innovative ways,” said Charlie Hyde, Harrison Presidential Site president and CEO. “We usually try to tie into the era or to the Harrison story in some meaningful way. We are not trying to clobber anyone over the head with history. This is about fun. This is about entertainment and quality theater. There are ways to do that to work into some of the history.”

Hyde said Harrison’s first wife, Caroline, who died

Candlelight Theatre holds four annual plays There is a four-play season each year. The Harrison Presidential Site now has a resident playwright, James Trofatter.

“James joined us as an actor in our second or third year, and he now writes our plays, or the majority of them,” Candlelight Theatre creative director Donna Wing said.

The company is a volunteer troupe of 11 men and 11 women.

“It takes a special actor,” Wing said. “They have to be able to deal with the audience in close proximity.”

This year’s fall performance will be “Victorian Villains,” set for Oct. 13-14 and Oct. 20-22.

It’s one of six that Wing said are rotated around Halloween.

“It’s what I call sophisticated creepy,” Wing said. “Parents leave thanking us because we were able to bring our children to a Halloween event where they were scared, and it was spooky, but they learned about U.S. history.”

This is the second year “’Twas the Night Before…” will be held in December.

“We put it together last year, and it went very well, so we are expanding those characters,” Wing said. “You go into a room and meet a different character. Some are real and some are fictitious.”

The spring performance features mystery plays, which last 25 to 30 minutes in three different rooms with an audience of 20. The April 2018 version will be called “Murder in Triplicate.”

“Our resident playwright writes 75 percent of the plays we do in the spring, because he knows the actors and the space, and they can be timed meticulously,” Wing said.

The Candlelight Theatre made an agreement with the Cook Theater at Indiana Landmarks to present four performances on “The Trial of Nancy Clem” in July 2018.

“We required more than 30 minutes and a larger cast for the play,” Wing said.

Clem, who was the first woman in Indiana on trial for first-degree murder, was charged with killing her business parter, Jacob Young, and his wife, Nancy Jane.

Harrison was the prosecuting attorney in one of her trials. Clem was convicted of murder in that trial, but the conviction was overturned on a technicality by the state Supreme Court. Two other times, there was a hung jury.

Another time she was convicted, and the state Supreme Court again overturned it. Wing will portray Clem, a role she has played in the past.

“There will be a piece where the audience will decide (her fate),” Wing said.

Mea culpa to the chief

Thumb-driven communication

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker Even as another “breaking” news story is pushed out on social media or live broadcast by some beleaguered, up-and-coming reporter striving to make a name for himself as he risks life-and-limb in reporting from a hurricane zone, one wonders if a little less instantaneousness might make more sense. Sometimes, are we better off to reflect a bit before we commit to the world our first and spontaneous thoughts?

Sitting in any coffee shop, one is entertained and, frankly, impressed by the thumbability of the collected masses. Folks attack their smartphones ferociously.

Whatever the message, it is delivered nearly immediately and often with little intentional thought. Some of us live in a world where impulse dictates action.

As communication technologies evolved, Gutenberg took great care to select topics for distribution. Martin Luther came to know his publishers personally to ensure their support in circulation. Franklin and other Founding Fathers pushed hard for a national mail service. Even most recently, folks had to find a telephone, attached to the wall, and rotary dial a single intended target. Were we better served when our impulses were more constrained?

What harm is done when our drunk-dial is not directed only at a person we know but instead broadcast to the universe – friend, foe and future alike? If poor judgment, even in a weak moment, becomes a permanent scar, how do we cope? If we let our thumbs do the talking, is our brain taking the backseat?

Slippery slope analogy Editor, Danielle Wilson, I enjoyed your column, “In support of moms,” from Aug. 15, but there were parts that were very patronizing to stay-at-home mothers.

"Personally, I was not cut out to keep toddlers alive and entertained for 10 to 12 hours a day.” I think you conveyed your point, and it's valid.

But then you went on to say, "I couldn't handle the monotony and loneliness of constantly discussing Barbie's wardrobe options with a preschooler.”

Do you think all stay-at-home mothers craft their day in that fashion? Even if they did, implying that it's lonely and monotonous is quite condescending and arrogant.

Also, debating stay-at-home moms has been going on since women entered the workforce, so don't blame it on today's political climate.

Lastly, what does a fictional novel that you mentioned in the article, "The Handmaid's Tale,” about a totalitarian society that treat women as property of the state, have the slightest connection to the topic of women choosing to stay home with their kids?

Seriously, is that your potential slippery slope analogy?

I'm at a loss for words. Good luck and God bless.

Justin Greger Indianapolis

I used to honk people off all the time with my columns. PTO moms, Catholics, the breastfeeding contingent – I humor could go on and on. I would receive hate mail about once a month, usually highlighting my terrible parenting or wife-ing skills (is wife-ing a word? Now the grammar police will be writing!) and, occasionally, offers of prayer-circle mention. Not that I miss the backlash, but I do wonder if anyone out there is reading me.

According to my Current inbox yesterday, they are! Thirty-three emails awaited my attention. Most were spam, but 10 were not. I’d completely forgotten about my piece a few weeks ago where I likened President Trump to my teenage daughter, labeling them both insufferable. I’d apparently struck a nerve with a few Republicans who wrote that it was I (or is it me?

Grammar police, I need you!) who was being insufferable with my disrespectful trash talk.

They have a point. I shouldn’t have compared my 16-year-old to a baby boomer.

She still has nine years before her brain is finished maturing. She’s dealing with hormones and homecoming, academics and acne, college applications and cellphone apps. Of course, no one can stand to be around her – she’s a hot mess!

But I do expect our president to at least behave like he has a plan. Like he knows what he’s doing? I didn’t vote for him, but I believe in the office he now holds. So pull it together, Mr. Trump. The PTOs of this world, and, yes, even this grammar-questioning writer need you.

Peace out.

Driving while not intoxicated Commentary by Dick Wolfsie “Have you been drinking?” asked the officer when he stopped me on Broad Ripple Avenue in Indianapolis, after I humor had turned off of Keystone. I was on my way to do a WISHTV remote shoot, my usual Sunday morning beat.

“Drinking? Officer, it’s 9:30 in the morning.”

“When is the last time you had a drink?”

“I don’t remember.”

“That’s not a good sign, sir.”

“That’s not what I mean. I think I had a beer three nights ago,” I stammered. Stammering, by the way, is not recommended during a situation like this.

The officer explained that when I made my turn, I “nicked the median with my front tire,” and that in his experience, “this usually means the person has had a few too many.”

“Officer, I’m not drunk. I’m just a lousy driver.” As you can see, I was having trouble saying what I meant to say.

He went back to his patrol car with my registration. A few minutes later he returned to my vehicle. “Have you ever been

arrested?”

“Arrested? Look, I know you’re just doing your job, but other than having a few books overdue at the library, I’ve never been in trouble in my life.”

“Sir, I am going to let you go, but based on your careless turn, I would be justified in giving you a breathalyzer to see if you are legally drunk.”

When I got home, Mary Ellen asked why I was so late. I told her that I hit my front tire on the median and a cop pulled me over for being intoxicated.

Yesterday morning I went back to that corner and performed the same maneuver multiple times. In 9 out of 10 attempts, I was successful in negotiating the pesky median that separates the opposing traffic lanes.

If I were a baseball player, that would be a .900 average. However, it wouldn’t be for hitting. It would be for missing.

James and names Commentary by Melkote Ramaswamy Have you heard of Robert Hope, John Carson, James Carter and Richard Cheney?

Think again. These are opinion none other than Bob Hope, the comedian; Johnny Carson, the late night talk show host, Jimmy Carter, the former U.S. president; and Dick Cheney, former vice president under former U.S. president George W. Bush. This simply goes to show that Bob and Robert, John and Johnny, James and Jimmy and Richard and Dick do not register identically.

Pat, Mel, Sam, Joe, Sandy, Chris—you can’t tell if these refer to men or women by just hearing their names unless you spell them out in full to distinguish Patrick from Patricia, Melvin from Melissa, Samuel form Samantha, Joseph from Josephine and Christopher from Christina. Further, you have to spell out to differentiate Marion from MaryAnn, Toni from Tony, Bobby from Bobbie, Billie from Billy, Jean from Gene and Gerri from Jerry.

One rule that seems to be obeyed fairly well is that you can make a last name out of a first name by simply adding ‘s,’ as in

Johns, Roberts, Richards, Edwards, Philips and Rogers. I have yet to come across Josephs or Ronalds.

For reasons only they know, some people prefer to be called by their middle names.

My former Johns Hopkins classmates, D. Ronald Tilley and N. Russel Roberson, are glaring examples. John F. Kennedy without the middle initial somehow looks incomplete. Some folks want to be called by their initials. Don’t ask what J.R. or E.R. stand for.

Singer Cliff Richards and TV actor John James are examples of combined first and last names—call them combos.

Some names are versatile and can be first or last names, as in Rose and Kay. Does Al stand for Allen, Alfred, Albert, Alfonso? Perhaps all of them.

If this is all confusing and confounding, you simply haven’t heard a South Indian name.

Sub Zero ice cream now open in Carmel

By Heather Collins news@currentinfishers.com According to John Einsfeld, the faster the freeze, the creamier the new biz result.

Einsfeld and his wife, Brenda, are Indiana Area Developers for Sub Zero Ice Cream. The company produces liquid nitrogen ice cream that is frozen in 15 seconds.

The Einsfeld’s opened the Carmel Sub Zero Ice Cream shop Sept. 8 at 111 W. Main St., a site that was most recently home to Auntie Em’s Frozen Custard and Cupcakes.

It will have a grand opening ceremony the first week of October.

Einsfeld has a passion for ice cream and was previously the general manager for Eddy’s Grand Ice Cream for 13 years.

Einsfeld said Sub Zero is the U.S. leader in liquid nitrogen ice cream. The Indianapolis Sub Zero location on Mass Ave. is the No. 1 Sub Zero Ice Cream store in the U.S. Einsfeld said he wanted to add a location that would have a similar feel to the Mass Ave. location. Sub Zero also has a shop inside Castleton Square Mall in Indianapolis.

Dispatches

The Einsfelds plan to open a location in their hometown of Fishers. New locations in are planned Zionsville, Broad Ripple and Fountain Square in the next 12 to 16 months.

Einsfeld said Sub Zero Ice Cream is all about the experience.

“When a customer walks in our door and they see the cloud of vapors from the liquid nitrogen hitting the fresh cream, they see a phenomenal experience take place,” Einsfeld said. “What’s really impressive is whether you’re 3 years-old or 83-years old, we have everybody coming in that loves ice cream and loves to watch the ice cream being made.”

The ice cream is transformed in-store from a cream base to a fresh ice cream in 15 to 20 seconds. Einsfeld said customers often video the process.

Sub Zero Ice Cream also caters events and gives presentations to local schools about the science of liquid nitrogen, which always ends with a scoop for each student.

Back-to-school backpack safety Commentary by Tiffany Thacker What concerns do you have when kids carry heavy backpacks? Heavy backpacks strain the muscles in the back, neck, shoulders, spine joints and rib cage. kids Heavy weight bearing on a young person’s back can distort the natural curves in the back and lead to rounding of the shoulders.

What are signs a child is injuring his/ her back? Signs of injury include constant pain, leg pain with numbness or weakness, or if pain causes your child to wake up while sleeping. If your child experiences any of these symptoms, even if it’s just for a few weeks, it’s important to make an appointment with his/her primary care physician.

What can parents do to prevent their children from back problems caused by heavy backpacks?

There are several things parents can do to

protect their child’s back: • Use your home scale to weigh your child’s backpack. The backpack should not be more than 10 percent of their body weight.

• Pick a backpack that fits your child. It should not rest any lower than the small of their lower back. If it hangs too far down, it will increase your child’s lower back pain and risk of falling.

• The shoulder straps should be wide and cushioned to help distribute the weight. A strap that goes across their hips will also help with proper distribution of weight.

• Make sure your child uses both straps and doesn’t sling it over one shoulder.

Holding a backpack on one shoulder causes excessive strain and throws off proper body alignment.

• Distribute the weight of the backpack so the heavier items are resting closer to the child’s back.

Infant mortality summit – The fifth annual Labor of Love infant mortality summit will be held Nov. 15 at the JW Marriott in downtown Indianapolis. This year’s summit will focus heavily on the impact the opioid epidemic is having on mothers and babies. Visit 2017laboroflovesummit.my-trs.com to register.

Extra uses for aspirin – Aspirin can zap inflammation within a few minutes. Simply crush aspirin and water into a paste, then spread it over an ingrown hair or pimple. Leave it on for a few minutes, then wash the paste off with warm water. The salicylic acid in aspirin helps clear out anything that’s trapped in the hair follicle or pore. You can also rub a wet aspirin tablet over an itchy bug bite for relief.

Beef & Boards to hold auditions

Gaynor thrilled to be inducted into Songbook Hall of Fame

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Mitzi Gaynor isn’t sure if she will sing at her upcoming Songbook Hall of Fame induction. One thing for sure is she won’t be able to show off famous dancing moves.

While rehearsing for a tour in August, Gaynor broke her foot.

“I fell off my 4-inch heel,” Gaynor said.

Stumbles are rare for the legendary singer/dancer/actress, who will be inducted into the Songbook Hall of Fame Sept. 30 at The Palladium in Carmel.

The dinner part of the gala is sold out but tickets remain for the second half, which begins at 8:30 p.m.

“I love it, I love it,” Gaynor said of the induction. “It’s just wonderful.

This man (Michael Feinstein) is so marvelous.

He’s so wonderful, I can’t stand it. He’s such a fine human being and so talented. He wants me to be in this (Hall of Fame). It makes me want to cry, it makes me so happy. I’m so proud of it. Not many Mitzi Gaynor performing in “South Pacific.” people have ever done this.”

Feinstein is the artistic director for the Center for the Performing Arts and Songbook Foundation founder.

Gaynor will be inducted along with Ella Fitzgerald and Ray Gilbert, both deceased.

“Ella was a friend of mine. She used to live down the street in Beverly Hills,” Gaynor said.

Gaynor has great praise for Kristin Chenoweth, who will perform at the Gala.

Best known for writing lyrics to Academy Award-winning song “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah” from Disney’s 1946 classic “Song of the South.”

Gilbert also wrote “You Ray Gilbert Belong to My Heart,” “Sooner or Later” and “Casey at the Bat.” Gilbert died in 1976 at age 63.

editorial@youarecurrent.com

Following her movie career, Gaynor did a series of TV specials in the 1960s and ’70s.

Gaynor said her show, “Razzle Dazzle!

My Life Behind the Sequins,” features music and stories from her past.

Mitzi Gaynor as she performs today. (Sub“I sing, I dance and mitted photos) change costumes eight times,” Gaynor said.

Appearing before a live audience still thrills her.

“There’s nothing like it in the world,” said Gaynor, who enjoys bantering with the audience. “It’s so much fun. I feel like I’m with my family, no, better than your family because your family is always such a pain in the (butt).”

Gaynor said she will retire the first time she doesn’t sell a ticket.

“Or the first time I can’t wait to get to the theater to rehearse, then I’m going to quit,” Gaynor said.

Gaynor made her movie debut at 19 in “My Blue Heaven” in 1950. She appeared with Ethel Merman and Marilyn Monroe in “There’s No Business Like Show Business” in 1954.

Perhaps her most recognizable movie role was as Ensign Nellie Forbush in Rodgers & Hammerstein’s “South Pacific” in 1958.

Feinstein and Songbook Ambassadors Annie Yokom (2010), Julia Goodwin (2013) and Finn Sagal will be part of the show.

When: 8:30 p.m., Sept. 30 Where: The Palladium, at the Center for the Performing Arts.

Tickets: Start at $125.

For more, visit thecenterpresents.org.

Known as “The First Lady of Song,” Fitzgerald was one of the most popular singers in the U.S. for more than half a century.

She sold more than 40 million albums and won 13 Grammy Awards. Fitzgerald won two Grammys for two Songbook projects, singing Irving Berlin and Duke Ellington songs. Fitzgerald died in 1996 at age 70.

DRAB TO FAB: KITCHEN, BATH AND LAUNDRY ROOM REMODEL The Affordable Companies • The-AffordableCompanies.com • (317) 575-9540

By Courtney Walker The client-designer partnership in this kitchen, bath and laundry room remodel was nearly one of those fairy-tail stories. While talking with both The Affordable Companies’ designer, Carlie Crousore-Suski and her client about the beginning inspiration, process and end result – their answers were nearly the same.

Lighter, brighter, “everything” is what they both love in the new design.

It started when The Affordable Companies renovated the Masthead project in Fishers and opened the kitchen reveal to neighbors, friends and clients.

The prospective client instantly fell in love with the design and designer, Carlie. Years later, Carlie received a call.

says. “From there, I had a great idea of what she was looking for in a custom kitchen and bath.”

As you may notice from before images, the kitchen, powder bath and laundry were dark, divided and displayed poor lighting elements.

“By shifting tall items to one side of the room, this allowed us to knock down the wall between the kitchen and dining room to create an open concept with glass doors, glass shelves, open wine storage and great lighting,” Carlie says.

“One of my fears of the new design was losing storage, but I actually have more functional storage now,” the client said.

The kitchen and powder bath were designed with a fully custom cabinetry line from The Affordable Companies.

“To state it simply, if you can dream it, we can build it,” Carlie says.

Equipped in her client’s kitchen are spice racks, flatware dividers, tray dividers, roll out trays and the cutest and most functional wine storage niche – accessible from both the kitchen and dining room. Just off the kitchen, a powder bath renovation used the same cabinetry line.

“My husband loves his new bath with operating drawers in the vanity for storage,” the client says. “I wanted it to look more like a furniture piece. The outcome was the perfect compromise. He’s also thrilled with the amount of light in his bathroom.”

If this flawless renovation story and beautiful design gives you the redo fever, contact a design professional at The Affordable Companies by visiting their website the-affordablecompanies.com or give them a call at 317-575-9540.

Daylight affects weather Commentary by Joe Drozda and Bob Bley Experts tell us that in September we lose about 1 hour and 17 minutes of daylight.

Here’s a tailgate riddle: What starts out cold, gets hot and then ends up cold, even though its fire never goes out? The answer is a fall day of tailgating. If you’re planning a fall tailgate party, you have to keep temperatures in mind.

For the full column and a list of foods that will keep tailgaters warm, visit currentnightandday.com.

Cumin Yogurt Dip Ingredients: 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 2 cloves garlic crushed and diced, 2 cups plain Greek yogurt, 4 tablespoons sour cream, 1/2 teaspoon salt (fine sea, plus more to taste), 1.4 teaspoon cayenne Preparation: Mash, peel and chop the garlic, then sprinkle it with a little sea salt and mash it to form a paste. In a medium bowl, stir to combine the yogurt, sour cream, garlic, ground cumin, salt and cayenne. Adjust all seasonings to taste.

Cumin yogurt dip has a little kick.

(Submitted photo)

Cover and chill to allow flavors to blend for at least 2 hours. Transfer the mixture to a seal-and-serve container and pack in your food cooler. At the tailgate, serve with vegetables and/or crackers. Make it more attractive by sprinkling a few whole cumin seeds on top (serves 12).

Blueprint for Improvement: Modern master bathroom Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions:

Before

Background Info: This spacious home in the Valley Brook neighborhood of Carmel was built in 1989.

Throughout the home there are several bathrooms, and many hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been updated since the home was built, including the bathroom in the master suite.

Before problems: The master bathroom had plenty of space, but the original cabinets were bulky and lacked efficient storage. The design and layout of the shower and tub made the bathroom appear smaller than it was. Additionally, the bathroom fixtures dated the space.

After

The owners wanted to give their master bathroom an update while creating more efficient use of the space they had. Their new master bathroom has an open, modern design.

1. The biggest transformation was removing the standard gold framed shower and replacing it with a frameless glass shower, making the room appear much larger, overall.

2. Another dramatic change was replacing the decked tub with a free-standing tub and repositioning it to create more space for the second vanity.

3. New quartz countertops and wood-look tile flooring give the space a modern but timeless look.

4. Additional changes included custom cabinetry with efficient storage solutions and a new light plan to brighten the space.

Dispatches Aspirin for stain removal ­— If your white t-shirts have sweat stains that don’t come out in the laundry, try this hack: Mix a couple crushed, uncoated aspirin with warm water, then add the mixture to the stains.

Let it sit for a few hours, then throw the clothes in the washing machine as usual.

Allowing clothing to soak in water with aspirin can help to release stains before they are washed the conventional way.

Replica of the Seat of Moses in Chorazin, Israel. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Chorazin and the Seat of Moses Commentary by Don Knebel

Chorazin is one of three villages most closely associated with the earthly ministry of Jesus. Excavations at travel Chorazin have revealed both a chair described by Jesus and an inexplicable image of a monster.

During the first century, Chorazin (or Korazin) was a Jewish village set on a hillside north of the Sea of Galilee. The village, known for the quality of its wheat, was about 2 1/2 miles due north of Capernaum, the center of Jesus’ ministry. According to the Bible, Jesus performed most of his miracles in Chorazin, Capernaum and nearby Bethsaida. Because the people witnessing those miracles did not repent, Jesus expressly cursed all three villages by name, beginning with Chorazin. As a result, early Christians expected the Antichrist to be conceived in Chorazin. Later Christians believed Jesus’ curse explained why a fourthcentury earthquake destroyed Chorazin, by then an important city.

Although archaeologists have not yet found the remains of first-century Chora-

zin, they have uncovered ruins from the third century. In the middle of the 25-acre city was a large synagogue, constructed of black basalt, a volcanic stone. In 1926, excavators found a chair, carved from a single block of basalt and inscribed in Aramaic, near the wall of the synagogue that faced Jerusalem. Scholars believe the stone chair was the so-called Seat of Moses. According to Jesus, as quoted in the Gospel of Matthew, rabbis made authoritative pronouncements from the Hebrew Scriptures while sitting in this chair. The original chair is in the Israeli Museum in Jerusalem, but a replica lies along the southern synagogue wall. Curiously, the Chorazin synagogue also featured a stone relief of the head of snake-haired Medusa. Why a synagogue used for worship by people forbidden to have graven images would include the representation of a monster from Greek mythology remains a mystery.

Generator safety — A generator is the best thing to have in a blackout. But, like any internal combustion engine, a generator engine exhausts carbon monoxide gas, which can give you a headache, knock you

Basement flooding dangers — If your basement gets flooded because of heavy rains or a water line break, there are a couple of things you should do before entering the basement. Call the electric and gas companies to have those utilities shut off. Live power lines in the water can electrify it, and a damaged gas line can cause gas to leak into the space above the water. You might not even smell the gas because of other odors in the water.

Slide a small rolled up towel into the sleeve. For delicate items like blouses, use a thin linen dishtowel. This will prevent you from ironing creases into those sleeves.
