Orangetheory Fitness spreads to Fishers, influences resident to open Keystone location

By James Feichtner • james@youareucurrent.com A Florida-based fitness studio is spreading its reaches into Indiana over the next year. With more than 300 studios worldwide, Orangetheory Fitness is a studio that combines the use of heart rate monitors and certiexpansion fied trainers to coach group fitness sessions. With a location already well established in Carmel, OTF is now looking to open a store in Fishers in spring 2016 and even has a Fishers resident opening her own store in Keystone.

Orangetheory Fitness IndiMcDonald ana area representative Shaun McDonald said with their first location being in Carmel, many of its clients are coming from not only the Carmel area, but surrounding cities. Expanding into Fishers would allow clients to relocate at a studio in Haas their home city.

“When you’re the first studio in the market we would pull from the other areas where you would have other studios.

So once we have other studios in Fishers and down in that Ironworks area, we would expect some of our current members to use some of those facilities, but that is part of the cool thing because you can use your membership at any of the locations,” McDonald said.

McDonald said that Fishers has many of the same clientele that Carmel has and that it’s future location in Fishers at 116th Street and Olio Road would also market to Geist-area residents as well.

“When we look at Fishers, it really has the core customer base that Carmel has. We have dozens and dozens of members from Fishers using our Carmel location right now waiting for our Fishers location to open up. They ask us on

a weekly basis, ‘When is Fishers going to open up for us?’ It can’t open soon enough,” McDonald said. “There’s also the chance that it might stretch out a bit further in and around Geist. I think that whole area is just going to be awesome. The numbers look like they are going to rival our Carmel location.”

The Fishers location is expected to open in spring 2016 and will be approximately 3,000 square feet attached to an existing retail center.

“It’s kind of like a ‘build-from-the-ground-up’ even though it’s just going to be hooked onto the end of the current place,” McDonald said.

“They’ve broken ground (last) week and our expectation is we will be opening around the end of April of next year. We are just super excited about that location. It’s kind of a wide range of demographic. I don’t think we could ask for a better location.”

The Fishers location will mark the third location in Indiana, as the second location is in the Ironworks building in Keystone and is coincidentally being opened by McDonald’s sister-in-law and Fishers resident Jennifer Haas.

Haas said her experience with OTF in Florida

made it hard not to resist the opportunity of getting involved when OTF made its way to Indiana.

“My husband and I decided to buy a franchise.

We bought one license, and it’s here in the Ironworks building,” Haas said. “We see people getting excited about it, and we believe in the brand. I had personal experience working out in the studio when I was in Florida visiting several times. It’s a simple concept. It doesn’t strike us as a fad at all. Everywhere Orangetheory goes it just blows up in the community. It’s a young, fun brand.”

Haas said the main reason she enjoys the program is because it’s an economical and flexible way to stay in shape.

“I like the simplicity of it. I like the convenience of it,” Haas said. “You get the benefit of both strength and cardio training. We love the feature of the heart rate monitor. It makes it appropriate for all ages and levels because you’re not competing with other people in the class.

You are just monitoring what your body is telling you, what’s comfortable for you.”

HSE board approves budget, examines CCA success Compiled by James Feichtner • james@youarecurrent.com

The Hamilton Southeastern School Board met Oct. 26 for its final meeting of the month.

What happened: The Hamilton Southeastern Future Famers of America Skill-a-Thon team won the 4-H Skill-a-Thon state championship. The Skill-a-Thon contest takes a large range and deep look at the livestock industry in several areas with team and individual competitions. At the meeting to receive their awards were students Laura Allaben, Kassidy Fletcher, Sarah Burk and Brant Boram. They were led by their sponsor, Thomas Younts.

Why it matters: This is the first time that the HSE team has won first place in the state competition.

The team will go on to the national Skill-a-Thon contest in Louisville, Ky., on Nov. 16.

What happened: An update was presented to board members regarding the success of the newly-implemented College Career Academies at both HSE high schools. A short video created by students and staff was displayed to board members depicting the satisfaction students and teachers have seen with the new CCA facilities. Assistant Supt. Dr. Janice Combs also updated the board on the ongoing efforts to continue to improve the career aspect of CCA as HSE works with J. Everett Light Career Center and Ivy Tech Community College to bring their programs in closer proximity to the district.

Why it matters: Beginning next year J. Everett health sciences courses will be coming to both high school campuses. Ivy Tech will possibly offer information technology certification opportunities for students, as well. Currently, the locations of Ivy Tech and J. Everett Light are seeing a lack of enrollment from HSE students due to the distance of their facilities. Bringing some of their programs to HSE schools would encourage greater enrollment from students.

What happened: The finalized 2016 HSE budget was presented before board members for approval.

Why it matters: The 2016 budget was approved by board members and totaled approximately $210 million.

Board members also approved several resolutions, including the 2016 through 2027 bus replacement plan.

What a blessing when we can practice love for one another in tangible ways. The blessing is not just for those who religion receive but for us when we give, maybe even more so.

This past week I got the chance to practice hospitality with two of God’s people. They both needed to experience God’s grace but both in different ways. One had gone through severe health problems and needed to see God’s people would care for them. The second has gone through nine years of legal wrangling (still not over) and just needed to know God would provide.

For the first, hospitality was shown when several congregations in Lawrence met their financial needs due to depleted funds caused by being out of work as the result of their illness. God’s people are called to care for their own and others and it was marvelous to see this happen first hand.

The second was shown hospitality by God’s people providing a weekend away from all the worries and troubles and met all their weekend expenses. This, for them, would not have been possible due to their mountain of legal bills. By the end of the weekend, you could

see the peace and relaxation on their faces.

Hospitality is more than just serving coffee after church. It is the deep care given to another without the expectation of return.

Hospitality is the tangible expression of love for another whom we perhaps don’t even know. When this happens, those who receive are blessed. The ones who give are blessed, and the community of God’s people is blessed.

Perhaps, even the larger community is blessed by people having their hearts restarted, so they will respond again, the next time.

If you have been hurt by the church, turned away by the church, ignored by the church or been invisible to the church, I want to apologize to you and ask your forgiveness. We are called to do better, and I hope you will give us another chance. God would expect nothing less and neither should we in practicing hospitality.

Lawrence resident follows new path after retirement to run for mayor

By James Feichtner • james@youarecurrent.com

Retirement can mean a variety of things to different people.

For Lawrence resident Steven Collier, retirement led to becoming a mayoral candidate for the City of Lawrence.

Growing up and living in Lawrence for 54 years, Collier first found work in the local school system cover story after transitioning through it himself as a boy.

“I grew up in Lawrence. I moved to Lawrence in 1964 and went through Harrison Hill Elementary and Belger Senior High, now Lawrence Central, then went off to school,” Collier said. “I was lucky to have a good senior year playing football at LC.” Collier went on to attend Hanover College, a following that would continue through his two children. During his time at Hanover, Collier discovered a love for teaching. Utilizing his contacts at Lawrence schools, he was able to get a job right out of college at the newly opened Lawrence North.

“I got a teaching job a little after I had graduated. I spent 33 years teaching and coaching at Lawrence North; football, wrestling and baseball," he said.

Collier’s decision to retire came in 2010 when his own kids were starting to begin their own family.

“When I decided to retire, it wasn’t a snap decision, but my son and daughter-in-law were getting ready to have a child,” Collier said. “We had always planned to retire at 55 if we wanted to. So I retired then in June of 2010 fully intending to work somewhere else.”

It wasn’t until after Collier retired that his involvement in city government would arise.

“After about three or four months (my wife and I) had done some traveling, and I was invited to go to a Lincoln Day dinner,” Collier said. “Both my kids had worked for the city in some capacity, but that was kind of the limit of my exposure.”

Collier was eventually asked to run for a seat on the common council. As Collier spent time on the council, he began to understand the need for change in Lawrence.

“I began to really watch what as going on (in the city) and you always want to have some sort of an impact on people,” Collier said. “Then as I’m on the council, I begin to be frustrated on how things are moving along in the city. It seemed to me like we weren’t spending our money in a way that best benefits the citizens of Lawrence.”

But when Collier was first approached to run for mayor, he was unsure he was up for the task.

“I said, ‘I’ve just been on the council for about a year and a half.’ Then I began thinking about it, and my wife and I had talked about it. I had this excitement growing saying that this is something I think I can do and make a change and have an

impact,” Collier said. “I began to really have a very real interest, and now a goal, to run for mayor of the City of Lawrence.”

In his pursuance of the mayoral position against incumbent Lawrence Mayor Dean Jessup, Collier said he has three large goals he hopes to implement.

“Economic development comes into play because the only thing you can increase, if your city grows, is a local option income tax, and that comes right back to the city,” Collier said.

“The more people you have employed in your city, the higher that goes. So economic development has to be in the forefront in order for cities to grow.”

Another goal is to increase the connectivity within the city.

“Lawrence is in a bit of a unique situation. The city itself annexed Oaklandon back in the mid ‘70s,” Collier said. “You had the City of Lawrence, and then you had a gap where Fort Harrison was and then you had Oaklandon out there. We really didn’t have any way to have the city connected into one entity.

My goal would be to create ways where people can actually walk or ride their bikes to the city-center and then go back out (to Oaklandon). That’s a long-term goal for me, and that’s a big job.”

His third goal would be to further enhance the public safety departments in Lawrence.

“We were able, last fall, to get some good things accomplished for fire and police,” Collier said. “We finally got something called Kelly Days for firemen, got the money back to hire 12 EMTs, got money appropriated to hire additional policemen, and then we got lucky and got a public safety tax increase, which is probably the only tax increase I’ll support. So we’re in position to make some real stride for our public safety.”

Girl power

FROM THE BA C K S H O P Across the table comes a forecast We had occasion to dine with a customer and his bride recently. The discussion, of course, turned to politics, as inevitably is the case when we all get together. Our guest is a rather astute fellow, well educated and on the corporate fast track, it seems. We talked about the Republican Party, and whether it really knows what the heck it is doing. Our guest was quick to point out that presidential aspirant Donald Trump (R-Billions) would fade after the holidays. Then came forth the poll results showing Trump trailing Ben Carson (R-Md.) in Iowa. Is this the beginning of the end, as our guest believes? It well could be, but we all agreed that after the holidays is the time to really zone in on results. You may find it as interesting as we did that our guest was quick to note John Kasich (R-Ohio) is, in his opinion, an “incredibly viable challenger” and “I think his numbers will improve” in the new year. We’re not so sure, but that would be interesting to watch.

••• With the Nov. 3 municipal election all but at hand, placement of candidates’ signage becomes, believe it or not, a safety issue.

Once upon a time, pre-Current, we placed signs for candidates, and in some cases it was done incorrectly. INDOT has a timely reminder: Don’t obstruct views of motorists.

Signs should not block visibility for traffic entering and exiting a roadway at intersections and driveways. Indiana Code 9-21-4-6 authorizes INDOT and local governments to remove advertising signs from their public thoroughfares. We urge the candidates and their supporters to be vigilant of the rules when placing signs.

Tick tock

Commentary by Terry Anker

The ticking of mechanical clocks can be heard in almost all of the communal rooms of our home. We wind them each week. We transport them to Arcadia, Ind., with utmost attention for their routine care and maintenance. And we use them for their intended purpose, to tell us the time, as some have been employed for many, many decades.

The constant tick tock proves to be a familiar and soothing backdrop corresponding with the ordinary sounds of a living household. The fan cycling on the refrigerator, the whoosh of air through the ductwork and the leaves rustling outside the window in an overnight rain – all contribute to the symphony of an embracing chord that wraps us with a sense of domestic sanctuary.

My father-in-law, a stalwart member of the Greatest Generation, elevated my interest in horology to a new level. First visiting the home of the successful businessman, father and World War II Army Air Corps bellygunner, I was struck by his own modest, if

well curated, collection of antique clocks. His attention was at once directed to the practical – taking a train each day to his office in downtown Chicago required constant reminder of routine schedule – but also in the mechanical complexity, even wonder, in their movements and elegance of design.

His clocks are now our sons’; and, there is one in my office at work and my study at home. They each dutifully remind me with a gentle chime that time is passing and as each moment expires another follows – each tick is followed by a tock, then a tick again and so on. In it, there is a comforting continuity. Sometimes the chime can be a bit of a nudge to progress to the next duty.

But always, its steady reminder reassures that simple upkeep preserves both beauty and practicality.

Q U O T E O F T H E W EE K Pride makes us artificial and humility makes us real.

– Thomas Merton

This past week I was supposed to be enjoying fall break while my kids went back to school (I teach in a neighhumor boring district with a different schedule). I had it all scheduled: I’d work just a little, but mostly I’d be bingewatching “Breaking Bad” and prepping the yard for Halloween. Alas, my beautiful week full of fun and relaxation was not to be. Nevertheless, girl power saw me through.

Sunday night had me pulling our Honda Accord into a hotel parking lot on the way home from the Colts-Patriots debacle to find a screw embedded in the driver side tire. I moped around on Monday hoping Doo would handle the flat. He did not. So on Tuesday after a quick YouTube video and a glimpse at the owner’s manual, I nearly sprained my wrist trying to get the lug nuts loosened.

Eventually I managed to jack up the car and put on the spare. I was covered in grease and sweat, and had to spend another two hours at Discount Tire, but I did it. Girl power!

The next morning I woke up to horrible sinus pressure coupled with the realization that I had unfortunately scheduled a dentist appointment for noon. Wednesday was a complete wash except to say that despite having my poor teeth drilled, I managed to carpool four kids to five activities, make dinner and set up a witch, a grim reaper and a zombie Maddie without offing anyone. Girl power!

Thursday I felt even worse despite an Alka Seltzer Cold cocktail to wash down some Benadryl. After almost three hours of driving around the Southside to find flooring for our fecal-contaminated house (see previous column), I had to take our stupid dog to the stupid vet for a stupid vaccination. She’s an immature 70-pound Lab with anxiety issues who cannot tolerate small, enclosed spaces.

Girl power not only gave me the patience to bring her home, but also to spend the evening battling extension cords and orange twinkle lights.

The perfect fall break it was not, but thank you Jesus for girl power! Peace out.

Sister act: Zionsville sisters share love of theater in two shows

By Heather Lusk • news@geistcurrent.com One is playing a sullen teen. The other will portray a bunny.

Yet these girls are more alike than different.

Sisters Claire and Cynthia Kauffperformances man have found themselves in paid productions for the first time in their relatively short acting careers. Claire, a third grader at Pleasant View Elementary, will perform in the Indiana Repertory Theater production of “Peter Rabbit and Me” this month. Cynthia, a freshman at Zionsville Community High School, is the understudy for the character Wednesday Addams at Beef & Boards’ production of “The Addams Family.”

Both girls began acting at The Little Black Box in Lebanon and have performed in community and small theaters throughout the Indianapolis area. The girls are the oldest and youngest in their family of four children.

Kim Kauffman, the girls’ mother, said Claire auditioned for her first role to follow in her big sister’s footsteps. But after performing in “Annie” this summer, Kauffman noticed there was more to it. “I realized, oh no, she has the bug,” she said.

Cynthia auditioned for “The Addams Family” simply for the experience of being on that stage, never expecting to be cast.

Since understudies only perform if the lead is ill, Kauffman approached Beef & Boards to ask if they would consider a single performance for family and friends. The idea was approved. So on Nov. 4, Cynthia, along with the regular cast, will hold a special performance for which tickets can only be reserved online. There will be no meal included, as is common with Beef & Boards dinner theater, but patrons may bring their own food and beverage. Ticket prices are reduced to $27 as a

result and can be purchased online at www.TheAddamsFamily.

MyEvent.com.

On the website, Cynthia is asking for donations for a friend,

Rosie, who has Cystic Fibrosis. Rosie, 15, received a lung transplant but is now receiving treatment for chronic rejection. Both girls met in the theater, so Cynthia would like to raise funds to send her friend to New York to see Broadway shows.

Beef & Boards generally doesn’t employ understudies, but Cynthia has found the experience to be quite valuable. The seriousness of the atmosphere she finds different than the casual rehearsal schedule she has faced in prior productions.

“It’s kind of hard to keep up with them,” she said. “They get the whole show done in two weeks. It’s a taste of what they do in the professional business.”

The sisters have found it helpful to have someone in the family who understands their needs as performers. “It’s fun having somebody else who knows what I’m talking about,” said Cynthia, who utilized her sister’s help to practice lines, which have to be memorized precisely as the understudy.

“Whenever I get in a show, she’ll make sure I’m practicing my lines. She’ll practice them with me,” Claire said. “If I have a dance, she’ll show me the things I’m doing wrong, and she’ll show me how to do it.”

Claire insisted she helps her sister in other ways too, including her big sister’s wardrobe. “Sometimes you say ‘What should I wear?’ and I help you pick that out,” Claire said.

Claire heard the Indiana Repertory Theater was holding open auditions and asked her mother if she could attend with her sister. Both girls auditioned and received callbacks, but by then, Cynthia had been offered the understudy role. Claire auditioned a second time and was cast as bird, girl and bunny in “Peter Rabbit and Me.” “Peter Rabbit and Me” is playing from Nov. 21 to Dec. 20. Tickets are available at IRTLive.com.

Jennie DeVoe just recently put the finishing touch on her album, literally.

The inspiration for the album title, “Picking music Flowers on the Moon,” comes from a line in one of her songs.

“It’s an old-fashioned drawing,” DeVoe said. “I was a big fan of Maurice Sendak (illustrator known for children’s books). I drew a couple of moons, one for the cover and one for the back.”

DeVoe will release her new album at two concerts Nov. 7 at The Warehouse, 254 1st Ave. S.W., Carmel. The shows will be at 7 and 9:30 p.m.

“That’s (album release) a good reason for people to come because it’s something that hasn’t been available to people before,” said DeVoe, who lives on the north side of Indianapolis.

This is singer-songwriter DeVoe’s 10th album. The album, under DeVoe’s own label, was recorded live in August at Aten Place in Boyne Falls, Mich. Aten Place is a big barn the owners converted into a concert hall. It was DeVoe’s second appearance at the barn.

“It had some magic to it,” DeVoe said. “So it was just a matter of getting the right levels.”

Because it was a live recording, DeVoe said the price of producing wasn’t as costly.

“This CD sort of made itself,” she said. “This show had some magic to it. So it was just a matter of getting the right levels.

So there was no overhead except for me making the art.”

11505 N. Illinois St. Carmel, IN 46032 MarketDistrict.com 317.569.0171

The album includes some of DeVoe’s original songs and covers of other artists, such as a cover of Carole King’s “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow” and an acoustic version of Sly and the Family Stone’s “Que Sera.”

The inspiration for another cover came from listening to her father’s older records.

“He listened to Billie Holiday and Louie Armstrong,” DeVoe said. “I remember listening to ‘I Put a Spell on You’ by Nina Simone. It’s a culmination of me hearing a version from everybody, from the Creedence Clearwater Revival version to Nina Simone. It was me on guitar and my bass player.”

Prior to this release, DeVoe promoted her last album, Radiator, though a Kickstarter campaign.

“We tripled our expectations, so that was a big sigh of relief,” DeVoe said.

Now DeVoe is eager to return to The Warehouse.

“We did enjoy our last show at The Warehouse in May, which sold out,” DeVoe said. “We could have sold out two shows. So it was the venue owner’s idea to have two shows back-to-back.”

DeVoe said it will be completely different from her last Warehouse show.

“I’m always doing something new so I’m not completely repeating myself. We’ll even throw in a couple new songs that we’ve never done before. It keeps us all on our toes,” DeVoe said.

Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 at the door.

Polenta: Taking dinner to the next level Commentary by Ceci Martinez Take a bland and boring polenta dish to the highest level! This simple but incredibly delicious recipe, “Tomato, Olives and Capers Sauce over Polenta” is colorful, inexpensive and best of all is a 1, 2, 3 meal, perfect for the fall/winter season.

Note: Wine suggestion: Vintjs Petite Sirah or Chariot Gypsy, from Trader Joe’s; both great red wines from California go beautifully with this recipe. The tomato sauce and polenta can be prepared up to three days in advance. Cover and refrigerate separately. Reheat at serving.

TOMATO, OLIVES AND CAPERS SAUCE OVER POLENTA Serves: 4 Ingredients: 3 cups milk, 1/2 cup light cream or half-and-half, 1 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, 1 cup polenta, 1/2 cup freshly grated Swiss Gruyere cheese, 2 large onion, peeled, halved lengthwise, and cut into thin halfrounds, 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, 1 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes in juice, 1/3 cup pitted Kalamata olives, 1 tablespoon capers, 2 cloves garlic, chopped, 2 fresh or dried bay leaves, 1 teaspoon dried oregano Directions: In a large saucepan, bring milk, cream, 1 teaspoon of salt and nutmeg to a

boil over medium heat. (Watch carefully, milk will boil over quickly.) Add polenta in a steady stream and stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, cook until mixture begins to thicken, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add the cheese, and mix all well. The polenta should be creamy. To prepare sauce, in a large skillet combine onions, 2 tablespoon olive oil and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cook until caramelized. Add tomatoes and their juices - break tomatoes into small pieces, olives, capers, garlic, bay leaves and oregano and cook, covered over low heat until sauce starts to thicken, about 5 to 8 minutes. Serve polenta right away, topped with sauce all over.

Park presents slavery program

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Conner Prairie Interactive History Park will provide its annual glimpse into what it would be like to be a education fugitive slave in Indiana in 1836.

Performances of “Follow the North Star” are Nov. 4, 6, 7, 12-14 and 19-21 at Conner Prairie, 13400 Allisonville Rd., Fishers. The 105-minute program starts at 6:30 p.m. and groups of about 15 people will be staggered every 15 minutes after that, traveling through the grounds.

“It’s pretty rare that you’ll find a museum program that lasts this long,” said Rosie Arnold, Conner Prairie education and programs manager. “This one has its staying power because it creates such a strong impact on people, and it remains relevant today.”

The program is an underground railroad simulation.

“We use our historic grounds to recreate the experience of the underground railroad in Indiana in 1836,” Arnold said. “The guests are playing the role of the fugitive slave. The storyline is you have been brought to Indiana illegally because Indiana was technically a free state. Throughout the course of the

program, you are able to escape and begin your journey north trying to seek freedom.”

Arnold said all the characters are based on research on people they know existed.

“It gives you a variety of different attitudes and perspectives on people’s feelings about slavery in that time period,” Arnold said.

With the guests playing the role of the fugitive slave, Arnold said it is an intense program, so it is not recommended for children under the age of 12.

“But it can be a very powerful and worthwhile experience,” Arnold said.

Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. The cost is $20 for nonmembers and $17 for members.

Cold weather food survey

By Joe Drozda and Bob Bley Football season, in our part of the nation, begins around Labor Day and ends usually after Thanksgiving. Early in the season tailgate temperatures are in the high 80s, with a hot sun that burns us. This is when we need shelter from the sun, we hope for a breeze and we use sunscreen to protect our skin. This is the time of the year we serve cold foods and cold beverages. In a short three months things change a lot.

Usually by late season we are expecting cold weather. This is when we eat hot foods and drink hot beverages. This is when we try to find a way to sit in the sun and get a shelter erected so we can be out of the snow, freezing rain and dreaded wind that blows a chill almost right through our bones.

We annually survey tailgate lots for menu items and preferences. Here are the 2014 top choices for cold weather main course foods.

• Chili is first with 45 percent • Sausage 18 percent • Chicken 10 percent • Non-chili soups 6 percent Cold Weather Turkey Chili Made with ground turkey, 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.

Ingredients: • 2 lbs. ground turkey • 3 pkgs. McCormick’s Chili Mix (or your favorite) • 3 28oz. cans whole peeled tomatoes (un-drained) • 4 15oz. cans dark red kidney beans (un-drained)

Be prepared to serve everyone two servings of this turkey chili. (Submitted photo)

To Prepare: Brown the turkey in a large pot, drain it if you must, and then add everything else. 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. Serve with oyster crackers or French bread.

If you have children at your party, you can float some hot dogs in this chili for 15 minutes and serve them on buns for the kids.

WARNING! Unless you tailgate with wimps, you’ll need to have enough chili to serve everyone at least two bowls of this cold weather favorite! The whole tomatoes become very hot and sooth one’s pipes in the sore throat cold weather post-game tailgate party.

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

Why settling with average stinks Commentary by Randy Sorrell It’s a constant battle for those of us forwarding the definition of luxury outdoor living spaces. How do we outdoor living fight mediocrity?

How do we behave differently so that your backyard living space is not a “knock off” of the rest of the neighborhood? How do we NOT be average (without busting the budget), because there are no trophies for average?

Here are four proven strategies to escape the vanilla of average: 1. Hire a proven designer or landscape architect with a styled history of success, and a few failures mixed in for gumption. And then follow their lead. Challenge them when your gut tells you to.

2. Don’t be afraid. Be bold and benign at the same time. You will likely understand that when the time is appropriate.

3. Personality … yours, must show itself in the deck/patio/landscape/grill station/ lanais, etc. … that finally gets installed.

After all, it’s your space and you are writing the check.

4. Anticipate. The most compelling of the lessons is to anticipate how you hope to use the space. What moments do you hope to create? And it’s more than

There are no trophies for being “average,” according to Randy Sorrell. (Submitted photo)

“I need a four-top table and an umbrella for shade.” It sounds more like “I see myself and my significant other relaxing most evenings with a book and a glass of wine. Ideally we could accommodate a few friends/neighbors/kids for cookouts. And I want it to feel very urban.”

Frankly, it’s pretty simple for us to build a space that looks like page 14 of your favorite supplier catalog. And it will look incredible.

Just like the hundreds of others that look like page 14 in the city. Or whatever page, of whatever catalog…

But we can do better. We must.

Hardwood vs. engineered floors Commentary by David Decker This time of year many homeowners are looking into new flooring before the holidays.

Hardwood floors are INdoor living a classic, beautiful choice that will last for years to come. If you’re considering adding hardwood floors, however, you will need to decide whether to install solid or engineered hardwoods. Both are 100 percent wood and a valuable investment in your home, but there are some very important distinctions.

Solid hardwood floors are created from one solid piece of wood. The thickness can vary, but generally between 3/4 inch and 7/16 inch. Engineered wood, on the other hand, is constructed from multiple layers of wood with a solid wood top layer. Below the top layer is a core of fiberboard layers followed by a hardwood backing.

This unique construction keeps engineered hardwoods safer from buckling and warping.

Because of this they work well in any floor in your home, including basements. Because they are more stable you can get wider and

floors or above.

Most assume that solid hardwoods are more expensive, but that’s not always the case. Considerations such as installation method, condition of the subfloor and labor costs can greatly affect the final cost. Engineered hardwoods tend to be more DIY-friendly and may save you money on installation.

They can be installed as a “floating” floor in which the boards hook into one another and “float” above the subfloor. Hardwoods, on the other hand, should always be installed by a professional and are glued, nailed or stapled to a wooden subfloor.

Both hardwoods and engineered hardwoods come in a wide variety of lengths and widths for any room.

The ‘Pope’s Revenge’ a Christian symbol Commentary by Don Knebel During the Cold War, the East German government erected a 1207-foot-tall broadcast tower in East Berlin, intended travel to celebrate the superiority of the Communist system. The plan backfired, constantly reminding East Berliners of what they were missing. Today, the tower is a symbol of a united Berlin.

The tower, called Fernsehturm in German, was designed a few years after the Soviet Union had beaten the United States into space with a spherically-shaped satellite named “Sputnik.” To trumpet that achievement, the concrete base of the tower was designed to suggest a rocket, with a sphere representing Sputnik near the apex. The massive sphere, with seven floors inside, was covered with 140 stainless steel panels, designed to gleam in the sunlight.

Even before the tower was completed in 1969, residents of Berlin noticed something the East German architects had never anticipated. Sunlight reflecting from the panels of the sphere created a nearly perfect Greek cross, visible throughout the divided city. West Berliners quickly dubbed this Christian symbol in a Communist country the “Pope’s Revenge,” divine retaliation for the government’s removal of crosses from East Berlin’s churches.

An embarrassed government reportedly tried painting the tiles to eliminate the cross, without success.

When President Ronald Reagan spoke before Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate on June 12, 1987, demanding that Soviet Leader Mikhail Gorbechev “tear down this wall,” he spoke of the efforts to eliminate the unintended cross: “There in Berlin, like the city itself, symbols of love, symbols of worship, cannot be suppressed.” Twenty-nine months later, the Berlin

Broadcast Tower in Berlin, Germany (Photo by Don Knebel)

Wall came down and Berlin was united. Today, Berlin’s tower attracts more than a million visitors a year, many eating in its revolving restaurant 680 feet above the street. On sunny days, Berlin guides point to the gleaming tower and its cross, proudly noting that other crosses have returned to their churches.
