Task force sets perimeters, timetable

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Grumblings about downtown parking are about to get louder as the city is taking an in-depth look into the ongoing issue in an The Commute effort to examine and address concerns raised by residents, businesses, employees and guests.

At its first meeting on March 4, the downtown parking task force hit the ground running to define the stakeholders and the study boundaries of the White River and DuBois Wayne, Division and 16th streets.

“We’re talking about nine hours in a 24-hour window,” Noblesville Common Councilor Jeff Zeckel said.

“I think it’s important we keep that in mind.”

Noblesville Chamber of Commerce President Bob DuBois was selected to lead the task force. DuBois said his goal for the next meeting is to compile issues so “any resident can look at the list and find their area of concern.”

“We want to make sure that people have a voice in the process,” he said.

The task force said public input is vital in the process but is uncertain of the exact way it will gather opinion. Possibilities discussed included an online and hard copy forms and public forums. More details are expected to be announced at the next meeting at 10:30 a.m. March 18 at city hall.

Mayor John Ditslear, who created the task force, said it was the Dec. 16 edition of Current in Noblesville that started the downtown parking situation conversation. The story discussed a new smart car the police department purchased to more efficiently and safely enforce parking, the ordinances on the books and downtown workers feelings about the traffic situation.

“We have the car. We have not bought or picked

out the software. So no one needs to get excited about a different way to enforce the ordinance.

Maybe out of this we may have a new ordinance or none,” Ditslear said. “It’s not going to happen for a while.”

Police enforce the two-hour limit, which is per day and not per spot according to the ordinance. The current chalking of the tires dates back to the 1950s.

“I’m not a big fan of any of this but you have to do it,” Ditslear said. “The ordinance itself has been there forever. It has not been changed. We all want to look at it.”

“In 1954 we didn’t have 10 restaurants and a huge law firm,” said Alaina Shonkwiler, economic development specialist. “It’s a vibrant downtown (now).”

The city has free, metered and tagged parking in and around the downtown square. Ditslear said the city would love a parking garage but does not have the money to build one, which is estimated to cost $20,000 a space plus the cost of the land.

“Yes, we would love one,” he said. “It’s not something we could do but have looked at. We’re talking to the private sector.”

The task force consists of Noblesville representatives from the city, chamber of commerce, Main Street, common council and downtown business owners, merchants and residents.

Timetable The task force has created the following schedule: • March – Identify issues; gather and review existing information • April – Determine additional information to gather/study • May-June – Establish current conditions • July-August – Identify areas of improvement: education, way finding, regulations, capacity and smart city tools • Before December – Announce solutions/ recommendations

Parks host black tie with a twist

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Billed as “A black tie event where everyone will be in jeans,” the inaugural Clip It benefiting the Friends of Hamilton County diversion Parks will challenge, engage and entertain its guests unlike any traditional fundraiser at 6 p.m. March 20 at the Ritz Charles in Carmel.

“It’s a really cool fundraising effort like no other,” HCPR Resource Development Specialist Don Nicholls.

Nicholls said the event will include the conventional black tie affair standards of drinks, Nicholls fine dining, live and silent auctions, live music from Rodney Stepp and dancing.

“If you come in your Gucci black tie or your Ralph Lauren dress you’re going to be less inclined to climb up that rock wall,” he said. “I think the vast majority of people will be dressed accordingly and that would be everything from jeans to khakis and trail boots … If people feel more comfortable to be in formal attire, then by all means they should come dressed that way. I think it will be a real interesting mix of fashions there.”

Nicholls said the event is a way to embody the parks department and introduce everyone in attendance to some of the developments happening out at Strawtown Koteewi Park.

“The public for the most part doesn’t quite know, and if they know it might be more of what they heard or rumors, about the new bevy of features that will be shown in a microcosm,” he said.

Nicholls said the event will include a rock climbing wall and at the top guests can access

the aerial park (or sky trails).

“That particular sky trail will end in a zip line,” he said.

Other stations include a birds of prey professional will present live birds and information and a full scale archery range with real arrows and targets.

“These are all going to be fun activities but I think they are going to go a great distance in underscoring the exciting developments, in many ways innovative elements, we are going to be introducing at Strawtown Koteewi Park specifically,” Nicholls said.

City bombed with scarves

The City of Noblesville was recently bombed – by warm, handmade scarves and good intentions.

The congregation of Roots of Religion Life Lutheran Community placed scarves around the Courthouse Square, on bike racks, light poles, benches, trees and signs.

“We try to do a community outreach once a month,” Pastor Teri Ditslear said. “In February, we wanted to do a random act of kindness for the community. The tags on the scarves said, ‘Take this scarf if you need it or want it.’ On Sunday before they were distributed they were prayed over by the kids and people of Roots of Life.”

The project was seen by a congregation member in the Lutheran magazine and how it was done in another community. Ditslear said the scarf creation began in January in preparation for the bombing.

Ditslear said scarves also were taken to the Riverview Health chapel, laundry mats around town, Seminary Park, Southside Park, a little independent grocery store on South 10th Street and in places where they know there might be homeless.

“We were just targeting anyone who had a need to keep warm or needed a bright spot in their life,” she said. “All in all we distributed about 120 scarves. Some were hand knit or croqueted,

some were made from fleece.”

Remaining scarves were donated to the Noblesville Trustees office, which the church is working to create homeless packages with pillow cases, hand warmers and toiletry items for its March outreach project.

“We hope we made a difference in lives, even if it was just a small thing,” she said.

Ditslear started the church with a small group of people, who she said are dedicated to hospitality and welcoming all people and those who want something different in a community of faith. She said Roots of Life is “nested” in the Logan Street Sanctuary, 1274 Logan St., Noblesville.

Sunday service is at 10:30 a.m. For more information, visit www.rolcommunity.com.

Hamilton County officials said that one of the most glaring traffic issues in Carmel-Westfield will be rectified in the The Commute coming years.

Hamilton County Commissioners Christine Altman and Mark Heirbrandt said Keystone Avenue and 146th Street will be connected. Construction is expected to take place in 2017.

“I’m so excited,” said Altman, a Carmel resident.

“It’s one of the best projects we’ve got going.”

Officials said the problem with U.S. 31 is that it causes traffic issues for those utilizing 146th Street, one of the county’s major east-west arteries.

“Right now commuters get stuck and have to go up to 151st Street to get onto Keystone (Avenue) or down to Smokey Row (Road),” Heirbrant said.

“It causes tremendous congestion there,” Altman said. “This gives a lot of people access to go southbound on Keystone.”

The project will cost an estimated $12 million with $4 million coming from the state. Heirbrandt said the remaining amount would include TIF dollars from Clay Terrace.

“It was a huge deficiency in the U.S. 31 plan,” said Hamilton County Highway Dept. Director Brad Davis. “The state had a limited amount of funds and the option was dropped off at the time. We had to pick it up.”

As part of the project, Altman said the stop light on Lowes Way will be turned into a roundabout. Officials said the project is already designed and they are working with the City of Carmel to develop a plan.

“It may connect over to Range Line Road for economic development,” Altman said, adding an environmental study will be done. “It’s been high on our radar.”

EDUCATION Meet your teacher, Rick Towle Rick Towle is known as a true Renaissance Man. He is a former recipient of the Eli Lily Creativity Grant in 1995. Towle’s grant project afforded him the opportunity to travel to all of the national parks and create a photographic tour. He was instrumental in creating the outdoor education space Chinquapin Ridge near White Towle River Elementary. This space includes 17 acres of wetlands and green space.

Every two years, Towle sponsors the middle school Rainforest Trip. This has afforded him the opportunity to present at state and national conferences with colleague Tanya Mueller.

Grade/school: Seventh-grade science teacher, science department chairman, assistant athletic director and FCA sponsor at Noblesville East Middle School.

Number of years teaching: 36 of which 31 have been in Noblesville Schools. Prior to Noblesville, he taught high school students.

Why he became teacher? I really enjoyed science and wanted to share my passion with others. I have a definite affinity for the outdoors – love nature and wanted to teach things about the environment that are important.

What are goals for your students? My No. 1 goal for students is for them to work to the best of their ability, whatever that is. I love kids that try things even when they don’t know how to do them because, eventually if they keep working, they will get it. It’s important to at least try and give it a shot.

What advice would you give for parents?

Get your kids outdoors. Let them experience the world outside not just through Discovery Channel on TV or online. Go to parks, experience the outdoors. I know everyone is busy, but make time to get outside and experience life. It will help your kids develop an appreciation for it.

What do you do outside the classroom?

I am a former girls basketball head coach of 20 years and former football coach. As the assistant AD, I am able to stay in touch with kids and sports, which is of interest to me. I also am the current president of the Blatchley Nature Study Club. This club has been in existence since 1922.

It is a club for nature enthusiasts who meet monthly at their clubhouse on 20 acres, north of Potter’s Bridge.

What is something others might not know about you? I love to cook. My passion for taking risks carries over into experimenting with food.

What makes Noblesville Schools special?

The willingness of administration and staff to let you try new things and take risks. A lot of things I’ve done are because I was supported to take risks, for example the rainforest trip. There are not a lot of public school systems that would support taking middle school students out of the country. Risk-taking is good for you.

Schools to showcase technology

By Robert Herrington robert@youarecurrent.com Noblesville Schools wants to inform the community and parents how it is engaging, inspiring and empow#MillerShift ering students while developing 21st century skills during its second Learning Showcase from 6 to 8 p.m. March 11 at Noblesville High School, 18111 Cumberland Rd. “The feedback from last year was overwhelmingly positive,” Noblesville Schools Director of Technology Andrew Swickheimer said. “The thing I remember hearing the most was how impressed people were with the innovative learning happening in our classrooms.”

The event is open to the public and students are the featured presenters. Swickheimer said it is a great opportunity for them to share their learning and develop the skills they’ll need for college and career.

“For most of us, when we think of school we think about our own experiences as a student when we were in school,” he said. “Knowing that our society is digitally driven, and employers today expect a high level of technical, collaborative and problem solving skills from their employees, Noblesville Schools set out to change what education looks like with our Miller Shift approach to education.”

Swickheimer said a few minor changes

were made to the program.

“We’ll kick off the evening in the auditorium at 6 p.m. with some comments from (supt.) Dr. Beth Niedermeyer and the recognition of our 2015 Innovative Teachers of the Year award winners,” he said.

Swickheimer said the event will include more than 70 interactive displays representing all grade levels and buildings throughout the district.

“It’s important for us to share what’s happening in our classrooms from the perspective of our students and teachers,” he said. “We want parents to know success in school is about much more than just test scores.”

Heart of Gold

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com “Anybody that has had someone pass, it’s going to hit them.”

Bobbie Dill, senior regent cover story at the Noblesville Moose Lodge, said Noblesville resident Sonsee Cloud’s song is an emotional one that almost anyone can relate to.

“It’s just a really amazing song,” she said. “The girl sings her heart out … She puts her heart and soul into it – her family and friends.”

On Feb. 28, Sonsee Cloud released her debut single, “How Do You Say Goodbye,” to a hometown crowd filled with supporters and those who helped inspire the song.

“Stuff like this brings people together,” Dill said. “When it comes to someone in the community needing help, Sonsee is there.”

Wendy Gibson has been best friends with Cloud for the past nine years.

“She’s a beautiful person inside and out,” she

said. “She has a heart of gold and is the first one to step up if someone needs something.”

Gibson said she cried when she first heard “How Do You Say Goodbye.”

“It brings back memories of my dad, he died of cancer, and our friend Simone. They did an amazing job on it,” she said.

Simply put, “How Do I Say Goodbye” is a song “dedicated to the loved ones that left us way too soon.”

“This song expresses the feelings of the last precious moments of someone’s life where you want to comfort them and let them know you are there for them and they are not alone,” Cloud said. “It’s the question we all have inside our hearts, ‘How do you say goodbye?’”

“It’s an inspirational country song,” guitarist Randy Martin said. “It starts out with a fiddle.”

Martin said the idea of the song was his and he brought it to Cloud. It was the first time the two had worked together on a song before.

“What I originally thought about it was something different but she put it in the perspective of how do you say goodbye to people who are passing because of cancer or whatever,” Martin said. “That’s what the whole thing is about, people who are lying on their deathbed and the people, their loved ones, they don’t know what to say.”

Martin and Cloud said co-writing the song was a mutual effort.

“It’s kind of amazing how you come up with a thought, and then you come up with the words of the song, and then you put the melody with it,” Cloud said. “It’s really neat how it starts out and how it ends up.”

Simone Newton, Sarah Livesay and Teonia Clark were the three main people who inspired the song.

Meet Sonsee Cloud

• Age: 48 • Family: Husband, Jerry, and daughters, Brandi and Jeri Lynn Thompson • Residence: Noblesville • Birthplace: Noblesville • Hobbies: Music and helping with a lot of benefits • Musical influences: George Jones and old country • Which musician would you like to share the stage with? Miranda Lambert • Favorite food: Mexican

“The big inspiration to me was when Simone was passing away,” Cloud said. “I was sitting there watching her go through this whole cancer thing and from the beginning to the very end. In that transition it’s like, ‘How do I say goodbye to her? What is a good way to say goodbye to her? How do you? That’s what the song is about.

That’s when you toss out these ideas.”

Cloud said performing the song live is still emotional for her.

“When you do a song like that sometimes you can’t make it through that. Sometimes you can,” she said. “My sister passed away a month before Simone did unexpectedly so it is very emotional because the words to me and the song are so real.”

Cloud has resided in Noblesville most of her life, with a brief exception when she lived in Bloomington. Her family worked at the foundry and on the weekends they would all go to her grandmother’s and sit out on the porch with guitars and sing.

“I think that is what first caught my interest in it,” she said. “My uncle had a recording studio and always tried to get me interested in it. I was 16 but not interested in singing. I was kind of shy and didn’t want to get in front of people.”

Cloud said it was her father who asked her to start a band.

“He kept begging me to do it with him (in 2009),” she said.

That is when Cloud met Martin, who had returned to Central Indiana after living in Nashville since 2001. Martin previously lived in Noblesville since 1974.

“I have all the respect in the world for her and her voice. It doesn’t matter if it is this song or not, I love to hear her sing,” Martin said. “This song in particular is like it opens up

again. The way she sings it is from the heart.”

Jason Roller, a friend of Martin’s and band member of country artist Kelly Pickler, has Magic Shack Productions in Nashville, Tenn.

“She sings it from the heart. I think you’ll fall in love with it, I really do,” Martin said.

When they aren’t performing, Martin said the two are taking trips to Nashville.

“We’re developing her as an artist, not just a songwriter,” he said. “We want to perform as much as possible. We have a love for that and a love for songwriting. We’re doing what we love.”

“We have a terrific following. We have a really good fan base and they are all ages, 21 to 86,” Cloud said. “I definitely want to write more.

We’ve got a song we are working on right now.”

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Participation is a responsibility We recently met with a city council member up for re-election in May. His name and municipality of service are not germane to this discussion. What does matter, though, is the topic of voter participation, or, perhaps, voter apathy. He allows that the failure to exercise the right and responsibility to cast votes can be traced to the home. We’re in agreement. Back in the day, it was something of a rite of passage to gain a voter’s registration card. Back then, voting was way less about politics than it was about having your voice heard. We suspect, as did the visiting council member, that the issue isn’t even a blip on most families’ radar screens – and that’s a shame. Prior to each election, primary or general, we always include a reminder to get out and vote. Looking at voter-participation numbers, we’ve concluded the message was unimportant to many. We asked our visitor about immersion - in community; in issues; in, yes, politics. The councilor’s belief is the same as ours: Most among us would prefer to sit on the sidelines than play the game, as it were. Most all want a solution, but fewer seem to be willing to roll up their sleeves and become a part of it. Former Congressman Lee Hamilton (D-Ind.) adroitly sums this up in a recent op-ed, in which he writes, “You can’t study every issue, but you can pick one and dig in, whether it’s a big problem like climate change or a smaller one, such as how to get food delivered to shut-ins in your community.” The point is, voting, like getting involved in endeavors that move the community forward, has to be a conscious decision.

Writes Hamilton, “Our Constitution’s preamble begins, ‘We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union’... . At heart, that’s what getting involved means …”.

Are you willing to help make it better? We are and we believe we do. We hope you’ll join us.

Amateur night

Commentary by Terry Anker

New Year’s Eve is one of those. St. Patrick’s Day is too. These are counted among the days when good, common, folk are encouraged and even expected to behave irresponsibly. Anyone who knows me will tell you that I’m all for having a good time. And occasionally, the fun includes an adult beverage or two. But what’s the pleasure of racing headfirst into the drunk tank?

We live in an age of excess. Government is getting bigger. Everything on the Kardashians is getting bigger. TV’s are getting bigger. Supersize seems to be the new medium. More. Bigger.

Faster. Is it human nature to covet exceeding last year’s accomplishments? Competition and continuous improvement are virtuous endeavors.

It is good to seek to enhance and upgrade routinely. But do we sometimes mistake growth for advancement? When is our desire for extra an excess?

Collectively, we eat too much and the data shows it. Portion sizes have bloated to unprecedented levels. Some would argue that we con-

sume too much of everything – food, fuel, natural resources, health care, to name a few. We drive ourselves to ever out-do what came before. It wasn’t that long ago that a 30-inch television was an amazing luxury. Now, it is disposable.

And, life marches on.

What is the cost of our need for more? Certainly, Americans struggle to save money. Our savings rates, compared to consumption, are abysmal. Also, our sports are now “extreme” and our parties epic. Likewise our waistlines are buckling under the long-term effect. With March returns St. Patrick’s Day and its celebration often includes a good deal of beer, Jameson’s and jocularity. But in a culture where more is more, can we hope to survive the party in tact? If amateur drinkers are the most dangerous, aren’t we better off to stay home on amateur night?

Our nation has all sorts of arcane, nonsensical laws on the books. Each week, we’ll share one with you. In Akron, Ohio posting signs at swimming pools is illegal.

If you are lucky enough to find a way of life you love, you have to find the courage to live it.

– John Irving

You won’t believe what I did over the weekend. My four sisters and I auditioned for the Family Feud! The Family Feud! And not to boast, but I really believe we have a shot at making it on to the show. Seriously, by summer, I could be blowing my fifth of a hundred grand on a Caribbean cruise!

My youngest sister Emily has always wanted to be on the Feud, and when she saw they were coming to Columbus, Ohio, my sister Christina’s hometown, she convinced the rest of us to join her. My twin flew in from L.A., another sister came from Louisville, and Em drove over from Chicago. Five gorgeous gingers, all closet actresses? Puh-lease. How could we not make it?

The actual audition consisted of a mock game between us and another family in front of two hundred other Feud hopefuls. We made a grand entrance from the back of the Radisson’s ballroom, high-fiving strangers and throwing admittedly-crooked cartwheels. Emily introduced us and then we got down to business. First question? “Name something people like to eat … ” DING! Emily rang in and shouted “French fries!” Rachel, our host, yelled back “Eeeehhh!” She hadn’t finished. “Name something people like to eat in slices.” Fortunately our opponents responded with “potatoes,” which made no sense whatsoever. We played.

Christina said “pizza,” the number one answer on the board, and my third sister got buzzed for “watermelon” although we all felt it was a “Good answer!” My twin said “oranges” (correct) and then I drew a complete blank.

Stalling, I said “Rachel. I. Am. Going. To. Go. With…Pie!” Shoo! And of course I pronounced it “pah” to emphasize my southern roots. Back to Emily, who said “apples,” and then to Christina who immediately dropped to the floor and did the worm. THE WORM. Right there, on camera.

I’m sure that’s why the casting director invited us for a private interview. That and the fact that we were complete spazzes. I nearly threw a hip jumping up and down and could barely speak afterwards from all the screaming. I hope to God I never see that footage!

Upstairs, they asked for interesting facts about ourselves. Christina obviously performed the worm again (She has four kids!); my twin told of her appearance in the worst-rated Super Bowl commercial of all times (1998, Coke, Redheads, Google it); and I explained how I once sucked an eyeball from a rabbit’s skull during Air Force survival training. Pure TV gold, right?

We’ll find out in two weeks if we’ll be heading to Atlanta to tape. And rest assured, I’ll detail every minute of my rise to stardom on the Feud. Survey says, “Peace out!”

Try this Irish favorite for St. Patricks Day Compiled by Melissa Hicks Beer Braised Irish Stew and Colcannon

Ingredients: For Irish Stew: 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, 1 (3 pound) beef chuck roast, trimmed of fat and cut into 1/2-inch cubes, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 cup coarsely chopped onion, 1 cup coarsely chopped carrot, 1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle dark beer, 2 bay leaves, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce.

For Colcannon: 3 slices bacon, 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks, 2 cups thinly sliced cabbage, 1/4 cup warmed milk, 2 tablespoons butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley.

Directions: Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Heat the vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until very hot, and brown the meat in 2 batches, stirring to brown the cubes on all sides. Return all the meat to the Dutch oven, sprinkle with flour and stir lightly to coat the meat with flour. Stir in onion, carrots, dark beer, bay leaves, thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil, and cover. Place the Dutch oven into the preheated oven, and cook for 45 minutes; uncover, stir the stew, and cook until the beef is very tender and the liquid is reduced by half, about 45 more minutes. Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined

Irish Stew plate. Crumble the bacon and set aside. About 30 minutes before the stew is ready, make the colcannon: Place the potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two. Place the cabbage into a microwave-safe bowl, and add 1 or 2 tablespoons of water. Cover and microwave on High for about 2 1/2 minutes; uncover (watch out for steam) and stir the cabbage. Cover and microwave for about 2 1/2 more minutes, until the cabbage is slightly tender but not mushy. Drain excess liquid, and set the cabbage aside, covered. Place the potatoes into a large bowl, and add milk, butter, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Beat the potatoes with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

Stir in the cabbage, crumbled bacon and parsley until well combined. To serve, place a scoop of colcannon onto a plate, make it hollow and fill with braised beef stew. Original recipe makes eight servings.

We all have a little extra layer of belly right now. But we can stop dreading the upcoming swimsuit season, and just nutrition need to help our body become a greater fat burning machine and stop derailing progress along the way.

Key is a diet rich in proteins and green vegetables and cutting out simple sugars and carbs, especially late in the day. Nighttime eating can undo all your hard work, except for a high protein snack. Protein breaks down more slowly, and in fact 20 percent to 30 percent of the calories of protein are burned breaking it down. And protein helps fuel your lean muscle increasing your fat burning potential while you sleep.

Avoid processed and fast foods, which are often rich in trans fats. Foods high in trans fats not only increase weight more than other foods of the same calories, but have an affinity to specifically cause belly fat gain.

We can also naturally boost our fat burning potential. Caffeine and polyphenols in green tea,

7 Keto DHEA and the MCT oil in coconut oil have natural properties that boost our metabolism.

And CLA has been clinically proven to help metabolize stubborn belly fat at a dose of 1.7 grams per day.

Working hard? Just make sure you keep the sleep bank full or you’ll undo benefits of the diet and exercise of the day. Lack of sleep increases cortisol hormone levels which triggers our body to store more fat.

Alcoholic drinks, while great socially, are empty calories that almost immediately interrupt fat burning. And each gram of alcohol packs almost twice as many calories as normal dietary carbohydrate.

Drink in moderation and limit to once a week or refrain entirely to shed unwanted belly fat.

It’s coming. Start taking steps now and you’ll be thanking yourself this summer.

Taking grammar to heart

Commentary by Jordan Fischer

Question: “Dear Grammar Guy, has everyone totally forgot what they learned in grade school about ‘bring’ and ‘take?’ I Grammar Guy have heard many examples lately from college educated(?) folks misusing these words. Here’s an example: ‘I have to get up at 5:00 to bring Mom and Dad to the airport. Why am I still up?’ (from a Facebook post) Obviously to me it should be ‘take’ since the writer is not currently living at the airport. Should I just give up on it?” – (Bernie Augenstein, Greenwood) Answer: Never give up, Bernie! Never surrender!

I share your pain on this one. The rule is really quite simple – and it’s all about you!

The Oxford Dictionaries boil it down to this: “The essential difference between these two words is that ‘bring’ implies movement toward someone or something … whereas ‘take’ implies movement away from someone or something.”

Given your example above, “take” is clearly

the correct word. But let’s flip it on its head to see how the point of reference of the speaker changes things.

If our speaker is, in fact, already at the airport, they might say something like, “Did you bring snacks for the flight?” or “I brought headsets for all of us.” However if the speaker is still at home, the verb changes: “Mom and Dad already took the snacks with them.” “Are we all taking carryons?” (Side note: Several airlines appear to be spelling “carry-on” as “carryon.” Don’t do that.)

Just remember the two parts to the equation: Where you are and where the person or thing is going in relation to you. Things are “brought” to you and “taken” away from you – despite the Gershwins’ lovely 1937 song claiming the contrary.

Section of Parthenon Frieze in the British Museum. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Will England lose its marbles?

Commentary by Don Knebel

Magnificent marble sculptures from the Parthenon are among the most popular of the eight million items in London’s British Travel Museum. These so-called “Elgin Marbles” are also the museum’s most controversial items, with persistent claims they were plundered from Greece.

Pericles built the Parthenon atop the Athens Acropolis in the fifth century B.C. to house a colossal statue of the goddess Athena. The colonnaded building, visible throughout the city, was the epitome of classic Greek architecture, adorned inside and out with exquisitely carved marble figures and friezes. As Athens later fell to different empires, the Parthenon was converted to a church and then a mosque and finally an ammunition dump. In 1687, gunpowder stored by the Ottomans exploded during a battle with the Venetians, severely damaging the Parthenon. The artwork was strewn amid the rubble.

In 1798, Thomas Bruce, the seventh Earl of Elgin, became British ambassador to the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, then controlling Athens.

Initially desiring only to make casts of the art he found in the Parthenon ruins, he later decided to take it home. Whether he wanted the pieces for his Scottish estate or to prevent further damage

is still disputed. Whatever his motive, he obtained a controversial document from the Sultan purportedly giving him permission to remove “stones” from the Acropolis. Interpreting the document to permit the removal of anything made of stone, Lord Elgin personally spent 70,000 pounds to remove and ship to England about half of all the artwork of the Parthenon, including 17 pediment statues, 15 exterior panels called “metopes” depicting mythical battles, and 250 feet of the frieze honoring the Olympian gods that originally extended around the interior. Apparently needing money, he sold the items to the British government in 1816 for 35,000 pounds. Since the 1850s, the word “Elginism” has been used to describe cultural vandalism.

The Elgin Marbles are now displayed in the British Museum’s Duveen Gallery, a large room built especially for them. The Greek government has repeatedly demanded their return as stolen art, a claim the British government has rejected.

In 2014, UNESCO offered to mediate the dispute.

Stay tuned.

What are your shields?

Commentary by Kristin Boice

our painful or hurt feelings so we discharge them onto other people. When we focus on the other person, it prevents us from moving forward and healing.

3. Criticism or judgment. When we are in judgment of another person, it’s because we are struggling with that same issue within ourselves.

4. Shutting down. We will freeze or just turn it off. We won’t communicate or talk about a situation, which tends to make it only get worse.

5. Withdrawal. We might go into flight, runaway or numb out from a situation or conflict. The situation doesn’t go away. We must face it and move through it in order to get to the other side.

It’s a universal need to feel safe and secure emotionally and physically. Most of us are looking for certainty. When relationships we don’t feel like we are emotionally safe or certain about the outcome, we become afraid and want to protect ourselves by closing off emotionally – using shields or defense mechanisms.

Unfortunately, they really don’t protect us. They tend to create feelings of disconnection, separation, loneliness, anxiety and depression. The five most common shields are: 1. Anger. This one is an easy one to fall back on. It’s a cover up for something deeper such as fear, hurt and/or pain. For many, it’s easier to get angry than to figure out why you are triggered and calm yourself down before reacting.

2. Blame. We often want to blame others for how we feel. We don’t want to deal with March

Finding the best lights

Commentary by David Decker

It’s time to look beyond the ceiling fan. When it comes to lighting up the room via overhead lights, many homeowners choose standard, boring and often ineffective ceiling indoors fixtures. This is a real missed opportunity in terms of design.

Ceiling light fixtures are key decorative elements that many homeowners tend to gloss over when building or remodeling a space. Not only do they properly illuminate the room, but carefully chosen lighting fixtures can also tie together various design elements into a cohesive, final look.

The first step in choosing an effective ceiling light is analyzing the specific lighting needs of the room. Decide what tasks will be completing in this room, and what lighting will make completing the task easier. Kitchens often require very bright lighting to make cooking and entertaining easier. Bedrooms may require dimmer lights to create a relaxing, comforting atmosphere. You’ll also need to take into account the amount of natural lighting that’s already present.

Rooms without a great deal of natural lighting may require brighter lights to compensate.

After you’ve figured out the logistics of the room, the fun of selecting a ceiling fixture design can start. Select a fixture that complements the overall décor of the room and your home in general. Style, shape, color and size all play an important role in creating a fixture’s look, so pay attention to all of these elements. Popular ceiling fixture options include: • Chandelier: Make an elegant, showy statement in your room by hanging a chandelier.

Ideally, the bottom of the chandelier should hang at least 7 feet above the floor, so people can walk comfortably beneath it. If

hung over a table or piece of furniture, the fixture should hang 27 to 30 inches above (if you are working with a standard 8-foot ceiling). Again, these are general guidelines and can be adjusted accordingly.

• Pendant lights: These are perfect for spaces or areas that need direct overhead lighting, such as over a kitchen island or a wet bar. Measure and hang pendant lights similar to the way you would install a chandelier.

• Ceiling mounts: If you’re looking for a more subtle design, mounted ceiling fixtures may work well for your room. They come in countless shapes and styles, so you’re sure to find one that works well with your décor. Ceiling mounts offer more of a design impact than recessed lighting, without attracting as much visual interest as chandelier or pendants lights.

Lastly, you’ll need to consider the types of bulbs each fixture requires. Different types of bulbs emit different colors of light, so the feel of your room will change slightly depending of the type of bulb you select. You may also want to consider energy-efficient bulbs to decrease energy costs for your home.

Overhead lighting should be just one piece of your overall lighting design. Complete your lighting effects by adding wall, task and accent lighting, so your home looks spacious and beautiful at any time of day.
