Noblesville couple to raise money for muscular dystrophy

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Amy Shinneman has never been able to run or jump because of her weakened condition.

For years, PHILANTHROPY Shinneman, 45, knew muscular dystrophy was a possibility, but she wasn’t officially diagnosed until November 2018.

“I got genetic testing along with my parents, and that’s when I found out for sure,” Shinneman said. “Doctors thought it looked like muscular dystrophy, but doctors couldn’t really place it until the testing of my parents and myself.”

Shinneman said she has weak muscles throughout her entire body.

“It’s a struggle to walk,” said Shinneman, who walks with a limp and needs a mobility device for longer distances.

Her husband, Jamie, is a marathon runner.

He started raising money and awareness when he competed in his second Boston Marathon in April. The Muscular Dystrophy Association offered a duo bicycle so the couple can train to compete in the Chicago Marathon Oct. 13. They are raising money through MDA Team Momentum pages.

“I can’t wait to get her to the finish line of her first race ever,” Jamie said.

Sinneman and her husband, who are Noblesville High School graduates, have two sons, Luke, 16, and Jack, 12. Luke, a sophomore, runs cross country for NHS. Jack, a seventh-grader, competes for Noblesville East Middle School.

“I wanted to be a part of all the running that goes on around here,” Shinneman said.

“It’s a cool experience to feel that feeling of running.”

The couple is nearing the end of the 18week training period.

“It’s opened up a whole new world for us as a couple,” Jamie said. “It’s brought our two worlds together. A passion I enjoy allows me to immerse her into that world of running, and we can be together. Now, it can

be more of a complete family activity versus the three boys going out running, and she is kind of left behind, so to speak.”

Jamie said he takes his wife out on a long run on the weekends and then runs on his own the rest of the week.

“People are giving you high-fives and encouragement along the way,” Jamie said.

“We’re unique on the Monon, pushing on this bike. It gives her a sensation of running. One of the early times I was pushing her, she said she just loved the wind in her face. She never felt that before. She said, ‘If I close my eyes and listen to your feet, I feel like I’m running.’ To me, that meant a lot.”

Jamie has run in six marathons, having completed the Boston Marathon twice and Indianapolis Monumental Marathon four times.

Three named Community Pillars

By Renee Larr news@currentnoblesville.com Hamilton County Community Foundation has selected three Hamilton County residents ACHIEVEMENT to receive its annual Community Pillar Awards. The 2019 recipients are Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness; Dan Clark, vice chancellor for Ivy Clark Tech’s Noblesville Campus; and Lauren Guynn, executive director for Shepherd’s Center of Hamilton County.

The award honors individuals or corporations that work to solve challenges, build opportunity and create a brighter future for Hamilton County residents in three areas: mental health, inclusive economic growth and family and youth empowerment.

“The awards are given to individuals who are going above and beyond what is required of them as a board member, employee or community member,” said Mackenzie Poole, community leadership officer at HCCF. Fadness will receive the award for mental health in honor of his citywide advocacy to

address mental health and wellness.

Clark will receive the award for inclusive economic growth for his efforts to develop partnerships between local nonprofits and the Hamilton County Ivy Tech campus.

“Dan was also instrumental in the Workforce Innovation Network,” Poole said. “The $1.46 million grant was awarded to Hamilton County to scale up our workers in five different areas, construction, Guynn manufacturing, agriculture, technology and health care.”

Guynn will receive the award for family and youth empowerment in honor of her leadership in creating better opportunities for seniors to age in-place with dignity and respect.

“Lauren is the executive director of the Shepard’s Center of Hamilton County,” Poole said. “They connect seniors with different services they might not know about or need.”

Each recipient will receive $5,000 to award to the nonprofit of their choice. For more, visit hamiltoncountycommunityfoundation.org.

City showcasing Charters of Freedom at Federal Hill

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com A life-size display of replicas of the United States’ Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights and Constitution are now PARKS in place at Federal Hill Commons in downtown Noblesville, making it the third spot in the state to have similar displays.

The permanent installations are a result of a partnership between the City of Noblesville and Foundation Forward, a nonprofit that installs the displays across the nation, founded by Vance and Mary Jo Patterson. In 2011, the couple visited the National Archives in Washington, D.C., and were moved by the experience so much that they started an organization to build permanent displays of replicas. The first was dedicated in 2014 in North Carolina. Including Noblesville’s dedication, there are 23 nationwide. There are two others in Indiana, one in Kokomo and another at Hanover College in Jefferson County. Others are planned in Logansport, Huntington and Lawrence.

Noblesville’s display was unveiled on the east side of Federal Hill Commons during a Sept. 28 special ceremony. Congresswoman Susan W. Brooks was the keynote speaker.

“The Declaration of Independence, Constitution and the Bill of Rights are at the heart of our democracy and should guide government,” Brooks said. “With this permanent installment of the Charters of Freedom in Noblesville at Federal Hill Commons, we have a constant reminder that we are secured by our freedoms and rights as citizens of the United States of America.

“Congratulations to the citizens and leaders of Noblesville for being chosen as one of only 26 communities in the country to have

installments of these founding documents.”

Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear said the Charters of Freedom will complement downtown Noblesville’s Hamilton County War Memorial on the historic courthouse square and military monuments at Riverside and Crownland cemeteries.

“It was the mayor’s and Vance and Mary Jo Patterson’s passion that led us to celebrating our great country with this constant reminder of our freedoms bestowed upon us by our forefathers,” Parks Director Brandon Bennett said at the ceremony.

In addition, legacy pavers will be for sale to be installed around the display to honor loved ones, active duty military, veterans, first responders, families or organizations.

Little Free Libraries now planned for all city parks news@currentnoblesville.com Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear and members of the Mayor’s Youth Council recently unveiled its first legacy comREADING munity project – Little Free Libraries. The council worked in conjunction with the Noblesville Parks Foundation and was funded by a grant from Duke Energy to create the “Arts in the Parks” project.

A library will be available in every Noblesville park, including two in Forest Park and the pocket park downtown. The libraries at Seminary Park and Finch Creek Park will not be installed until construction is complete at each site.

Noblesville High School senior Grace Wiles said the idea was inspired by similar programs in other communities.

“We were looking for our first big project, something we could call our own,” she said.

“I thought, what better way to give people a sense of ownership of their parks? It gives people pride, so they want to go and spend time in the parks.”

Youth council members built all nine libraries and reached out to Noblesville Schools’ elementary art teachers to see if

they would like to help decorate with a literacy theme.

“It ties literacy to our community and the love of reading with arts,” Noblesville Youth Council Advisor Michelle Glodowski said.

“Two elementary art teachers stepped up to help paint two libraries each, Hinkle Creek’s Lori Ritchie and Lisa Fritz from North Elementary. The Hinkle Creek libraries will be installed at Federal Hill Commons and Hague

Road Nature Preserve, while the North Elementary libraries will be installed in Forest Park and Seminary Park.”

The libraries are based on a take-a-bookleave-a-book principle. The books are available to anyone in the community.

“We hope that this access to books will encourage a love of reading in readers of all ages and backgrounds,” Ditslear said.

“I’m proud of our youth council members for

coming up with this idea and bringing it to our community.”

In addition to building, installing and maintaining the libraries, the Mayor’s Youth Council plans to feature a book of the month or readings at the parks during summer and school breaks.

“The goal is that we would be engaged with the project throughout its time in Noblesville,” Wiles said. “It’s really cool and rewarding because my friends and I hang out at the parks all the time. We hope kids find their love of reading and their love of the parks, and once they are done reading, they can put their book on the shelf and grab another.”

Preschool certified for outdoors

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Nature’s Pointe Cooperative Preschool teacher Marlo Landis is a firm believer in the benefits of outdoor ACHIEVEMENT classrooms.

“There is a lot of research that shows all of their learning is enhanced by being outdoors,” said Landis, who teaches in the classroom for 3-yearolds and helps in the classroom for 4- and 5-year-olds.

Nature’s Pointe Cooperative Preschool, 1399 Greenfield Ave., recently became the first school in Noblesville to earn national recognition as a Certified Nature Explore Classroom from the Nature Explore program, which is a division of the nonprofit Dimensions Educational Research Foundation.

“It’s not just our nature courses. We can take our math, language and social skills and work on them out there,” said Landis, a Fishers resident in her 11th year at the school.

Kim Coretz, a Noblesville resident who teaches at the school, said Nature Explore wanted the outdoor classrooms to have separate places for building, climbing, gath-

ering and music.

“They have other areas we include like gardening and a mud kitchen area,” she said.

Cortez said the school had to get approval from the school board as well as from the landlord about changing the space and how it would be maintained.

“We needed funds, and a lot of it was donated by a parent who used to be at our school,” Cortez said. “More than anything, it helps them to do what they would normally do in an outside environment.”

EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION Noblesville Schools superintendent recognized for career achievements

Beth Niedermeyer during her tenure at Fort Wayne Community Schools with a group of her aerospace science students.

(Submitted photo)

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com Beth Niedermeyer is humble about her accomplishments in education. Having recently been recognized for her successes and contributions, she reflects fondly on her 35-year career and credits those who she says COVER STORY have helped her along the way.

Last month, Niedermeyer, who began her sixth year as superintendent of Noblesville Schools, was honored by her peers by being named the Central Indiana Superintendent of the Year, an award voted on by members of the Indiana Association of Public School Superintendents.

“With any award, nothing happens in isolation,” Niedermeyer said. “I am surrounded by a great team of people who are extremely talented, hardworking, creative and dedicated to this important work that we do. When you have that kind of synergy amongst your team, the sky is the limit for what you can accomplish, so I feel very fortunate.”

A group of approximately 40 superintendents representing 40 public school systems in IAPSS’s Central Indiana district chose Niedermeyer for the honor. The bulk of the state’s population resides in that district, representing 28 percent of public school students. The district encompasses Boone, Hamilton, Hancock, Hendricks, Johnson, Marion and Shelby counties.

“Dr. Niedermeyer is a role model among her peers and is frequently sought out by other area superintendents for her counsel and advice,” said Carl Johnson, president of the Noblesville Schools Board of Trustees. “Relationship building, valuing different perspectives, reflecting on data and making courageous decisions are all hallmarks of her leadership style. She is quick to step up whenever and wherever she is needed, and most importantly, her focus is always on what’s best for kids.”

Niedermeyer said she always wanted to be a teacher from the time she was a child.

“Just ask my youngest sister. I always got to be the teacher, and she was always my student,” Niedermeyer said. “I have a lot of teachers in my family. My dad is a retired teacher, and I had aunts who were teachers, so I always knew. But whenever any employee at Noblesville Schools wins an award, it’s an opportunity to showcase the school district and the great things that are going on.”

Of those things – which include the district’s handling of a 2018 shooting at Noblesville West Middle School, receiving high grades and recognition from the Indiana Dept. of Education and expanded use of technology, transportation improvements, among other successes — Niedermeyer said some of the most notable points include the passing of an operating referendum in November 2018, working with the Noblesville Diversity Coalition and a change in school-day

times.

“The referendum we just passed that focuses on mental health, safety and teacher compensation, I’m really proud in such a short amount of time how much we’ve gotten accomplished,” she said. “Another piece is our focus on diversity, equity and inclusion. That has been really important, not only for our school district, but for our community. The collaboration that has taken place with the city, chamber, local businesses and faith-based leaders, getting all of those people at the table to talk about this and take some action, I think that’s pretty unique.”

Niedermeyer also is pleased with the adjusted schedule, whereby elementary students start the school day earlier, and middle and high school students start later.

“It’s been really great to listen to teachers and get their feedback,” Niedermeyer said. “From the elementary perspective, teachers will tell you that by 2 p.m., the little ones start getting tired. They’ve noticed that since their day is now ending at 2:35 p.m., they’re much more alert. For the middle and high school kids, we’re hearing from teachers that they’re more engaged in class and less sleepy.”

A Fort Wayne native, Niedermeyer began her education career at Fort Wayne Community Schools in 1984, where she spent a decade teaching elementary education, aerospace science and classes to struggling high school-age readers before becoming a principal. She was later recruited by the Metropolitan School District of Pike Township to help open a new school as its principal before becoming the district’s director of elementary education, then assistant superintendent.

Prior to becoming superintendent at Noblesville in 2014, Niedermeyer worked at Hamilton Southeastern Schools as assistant superintendent for 14 years.

“I am at a place where I would like to finish out my career at Noblesville Schools. I love it here, and I have no plans to throw in the towel anytime soon,” Niedermeyer said. “I am

honored to be a part of this district and work with all of these great people. I am in a really good place.”

Niedermeyer will be recognized Dec. 5 at the IAPSS annual conference in Indianapolis.

MEET BETH NIEDERMEYER • Personal life: Married to Bob Niedermeyer for 33 years.

• Hobbies: Attened pilot school during her time teaching aerospace science. Loves to read, be outdoors and travel.

Niedermeyer said she is planning a trip to Peru next year to hike Machu Picchu. “On my bucket list is hitting all seven continents,” Niedermeyer said. “We’re at five. I haven’t been to Antarctica or Australia.”

• Education: Attended Snider High School in Fort Wayne before attending IUPU Fort Wayne (now Purdue Fort Wayne) and Purdue University.

• Awards and accolades: Fort Wayne Community Schools’ Teacher of the Year, Indiana Principal of the Year, Aerospace Science Teacher of the Year, Distinguished Education Alumna Award from IPFW, Excellence in Education Award • Community involvement: Serves on the executive boards of directors for the Boys & Girls Club of Noblesville, Noblesville Chamber of Commerce, Noblesville Youth Assistance Program, Noblesville Diversity Coalition, Noblesville Midday Rotary Club and the Hamilton County Workforce Innovation Network.

ESSAY

LETTER Abuse of power

Company of one Commentary by Terry Anker In the 1932 movie “Grand Hotel,” smoldering film star Greta Garbo exclaims repeatedly, “I want to be alone.” As the plot progresses, reallife reclusive actress begins a romantic relationship with a stranger to whom she had earlier proclaimed the need for solitude, thus guaranteeing that she would assuredly no longer be alone. The fictional character finds happiness only when she admits a secret desire to be anything but lonesome.

We good people often live the paradox. Certainly, those of us who are not blessed (or cursed) by a genetic predisposition to extroversion understand. While time engaged in the company of others is good, even necessary, the time we spend alone is restorative and, likewise, required for good health.

The needed allotment is not consistent across all persons. Something in us drives a longing for our own fortress of solitude, just as the same internal voice demands that we seek shared space.

In marriages, offices and crowded buses, we find ourselves pursuing intimacy while quietly hoping for independent identity. We alternate between striking up conversations and withdrawing, earbuds in place, into our own thoughts. How do we find the right balance? How do we give, and get, fully while still holding something back just for us?

Is there a way to simultaneously be entirely engaged and fully autonomous? With differing personality needs, who decides the standard?

It is another actress, Belgium-born Audrey Hepburn, who summed it up thusly: “I don’t want to be alone, I want to be left alone.”

Who said ‘one’ is easy?

Commentary by Danielle Wilson Stupid sick kids. They ruin everything! Or at least give me high blood pressure. When does parenting get easy?

I thought with three away HUMOR at college, I’d be mostly home free. My 15-year-old is fairly self-reliant and usually so busy with school and dance that I don’t see much of her. But she caught a nasty bug this past week and sent everything into turmoil.

For starters, the nurse practitioner declared her ickiness to be viral, which meant no quick antibiotic fix. I was pulling for strep when I dragged her to the Minute Clinic on the third day of 103-degree-plus temperatures, but no such luck. We left with instructions to treat symptoms and to prepare for potentially 10 more days of lethargy, body aches, fever and sore throat. Obviously, school was out, but I didn’t want to take off work to watch her. So, after maybe seven seconds of contemplation, I decided she’d

be fine on her own. What’s the worst that could happen? I mean, if its bubonic plague, there’s nothing I can do anyway. Good luck, little lady! Don’t you go dying on me! Yeah, Mom of the Year right here.

And I was actually more stressed about the amount of classes she was missing.

Five-days’ worth could seriously derail her quest to beat her siblings for highest GPA, not to mention send her into a whirlwind of anxiety about catching up — a true nightmare for me as a mother.

It’s hard when your baby is sick and you can’t do a darn thing to make her better. I guess I just assumed once I was down to one, parenting would be easy. Friends, I was wrong.

Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans.”

— John Lennon

Editor’s note: This letter is a response to a letter published in the Sept. 17 edition of Current in Noblesville.

Editor, Hold President Trump accountable for what criminal activity? You say, “We’ve got the facts.” Yes, we do, but not the facts you want.

As House Judiciary Committee member Republican Jim Jordan said, “The president was falsely accused of colluding with a foreign state (Russia) to impact the election.”

When (fired FBI Director) Jim Comey was deposed by the committee, he stated, “After 10 months of investigation, the FBI had nothing. (Special Prosecutor) Bob Mueller investigated for 22 months, spending $30 million of taxpayer funds and testified before the committee that he had nothing.”

Those are the inconvenient “facts we’ve got.” The problem is, you Democrats are still committed to overturning the 2016 election, regardless of the facts.

There must be a consequence for this abuse of power. There should be persons held legally accountable, starting with the unelected bureaucrats that attempted a coup against this president and his administration.

George Hodgson, Noblesville

Bleeding could signal disorder Commentary by Sweta Gupta It’s commonly believed that women and girls can’t have bleeding disorders. People often think only boys and SCREENING men experience compromised clotting (the body’s natural ability to stop bleeding).

But women and girls can have bleeding disorders, and their first symptom could be heavier-than-normal menstrual bleeding, which can pose significant issues. If not addressed, an undiagnosed bleeding disorder could present a host of challenges in the event of an accident, surgical procedure, pregnancy or drug interaction.

Heavy menstrual bleeding (HBM) symptoms include: • Period lasting longer than seven days • Soaking through a pad or tampon in 1-2 hours • Passing clots larger than the size of a quarter • Iron deficiency, anemia, or need for blood transfusion • Missing days of school or work due to bleeding In September 2019, the American College

of Obstetricians and Gynecologists said teens with HBM should be screened for bleeding disorders. While bleeding disorders affect 1 to 2 percent of the general population, they’re found in approximately 20 percent of adolescent girls who are evaluated for HBM and in 33 percent of adolescent girls hospitalized for HBM, wrote members of the ACOG Committee on Adolescent Health Care in the opinion, published in Obstetrics & Gynecology.

The Indiana Hemophilia & Thrombosis Center in Indianapolis, 8326 Naab Rd, offers a Girls Only Clinic to screen adolescent girls, ages 11 to 18, with HBM for bleeding disorders. The clinic offers the combined expertise of a pediatric hematologist and an adolescent medicine specialist twice a month. If a bleeding disorder is diagnosed, comprehensive care and regular follow up is provided at IHTC. For more, visit ihtc.org/girlsonly.

Wood Warbler Coffee’s motto is “Giving Back to Nature One Cup At A Time.”

That suits owner PHILANTHROPY Jeff Canada’s mission perfectly.

Canada, a former president of the Indiana Audubon Society and an avid bird-watcher for 10 years, is roasting and selling specialty coffee wholesale to raise funds for wildlife habitat conservation.

“Every coffee purchased under their names gets a 10-percent donation from the sale of each bag,” the Noblesville resident said. “We sell bird-friendly certified coffee.

It’s certified by Smithsonian Institute and has to meet certain requirements. We have Columbian, Nicaraguan and then I have a blend. There are four different bird-friendly coffees (under the Bird Song Blend).

“We partner with nonprofit conservation organizations and place a coffee with the organization’s name on it on our website.

We sell Smithsonian Certified Bird Friendly Coffee, Rain Forest Alliance Certified and Fair Trade Certified coffees.”

The company continually adds new part-

ners. Canada is putting three coffees on the website to support Joy’s House. Fifty percent of sales through Nov. 1 of Joy’s House Honduras Natural Light Roast, Medium

Roast and Sumatra Dark Road will go to Joy’s House, which serves adults living with life-altering diagnoses and their families by offering adult day care. There are sites at the University of Indianapolis and in Broad Ripple.

The coffee, which is roasted in Noblesville, is available at nature stores and gift shops and online.

Canada has been selling coffee for just more than a month.

“I’ve been roasting for a couple of years and had been a business owner in the past,” he said.

Canada said he formerly roasted coffee and sold it to friends on the side to raise money for the Indiana Dept. of Natural Resources’ fund to support peregrine falcons in downtown Indianapolis.

“When I came up with the idea of putting partners on our website and doing it that way, everyone loved it,” said Canada, who has reached out to nonprofits in other states.

The bird in the logo is a Canada warbler.

“So it ties in with my name,” said Canada, who sells coffee in 12-ounce and 5-pound bags.

Candlelight Theatre holds spooky show editorial@youarecurrent.com

Local coffee shops serve up fall favorites

Candlelight Theatre has a spooky special for Halloween by presenting “Ghost Tales of the Civil War” by resident playwright James Trofatter at the Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site on select dates in October.

The full-length play is replete with, historical artifacts and the rich ambience of President Benjamin Harrison’s original furnishings, making it a one-of-a-kind theater experience.

Candlelight Theatre founder and creative director Donna Wing, a Geist resident, will appear in the performances. Hamilton County performers include Emily Jackson, Carmel; Ann Richards, Fishers; and John West, Noblesville.

Dates are Oct. 11, 12, 18, 19, 26 and 27. The performances at the site, 1230 North Delaware St., Indianapolis, begin every half-hour, with six shows each day, 6 p.m. until 8:30 p.m. and 2 p.m. until 4:30 p.m. Sundays.

Cost is $14.95 to $17.95. Tickets are available at eventbrite.com/e/ghost-tales-of-thecivil-war-tickets-61949682167.

Commentary by Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com As temperatures cool and leaves begin to fall, there’s nothing better than cupping your hands around a BEVERAGES mug of warm coffee on a chilly morning, or at midday for a pick-me-up. Hamilton County brews up plenty of options, new and old, for those who love coffee.

ROSE & LOIS Opening soon at 7249 E. 146th St., Suite 110, Carmel You can order coffee to-go, but have you ever heard of a coffee truck permanently on the go? Rose & Lois is a new business with plans to open its first brickand-mortar shop by 2020. Owner Rachel Priddy didn’t want to wait around until the shop was ready, so she and her family converted a trailer into a mobile coffee shop. Priddy sets up in the parking lot on 146th Street and Community Drive, where her new store will be built. Hours from 7 a.m. to noon on weekdays. She is serving lattes, nitro cold brew and hot coffee to folks on their way to work in what is called the “coffee desert” of Hamilton County by local coffee drinkers. I ordered the pistachio latte and sampled the Costa Rican drip coffee, both of which warmed me right up on an autumn morning.

NOBLE COFFEE AND TEA 933 Logan St., Noblesville My favorite place to settle in and knock out my to-do list. The shop is big and has spacious seating with soft wood tones, the ultimate cozy atmosphere. You can sit by the window and watch people in downtown Noblesville hustle about, or cozy up in the corner to read a good book. I suggest an iced Americano or the Highlander Grogg blend, which has butterscotch, rum and caramel flavors.

(Above) Rachel Priddy displays her Rose & Lois mobile coffee shop. (Photo by Heather Sherrill Photography) (Right) The Black Hat at The Well Coffeehouse in Fishers is a smooth blend of cinnamon, cayenne and charcoal mocha. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

THE WELL COFFEEHOUSE 8890 E. 116th St. Suite 120, Fishers This is another of my favorite places to work from. The Well recently expanded its menu and now offers lots of light, healthy options, which also happen to be delicious (curry chicken salad bowl, turkey pesto sandwich, etc.). The Well just rolled out its seasonal menu, with offerings like Somethin’ Pumpkin’ (pumpkin, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, ginger latte), Secret Garden (juniper, bergamot, lavender cold brew) and Black Cat (cinnamon, cayenne, charcoal mocha).

Blueprint for Improvement: Basement has something for everyone Commentary by Larry Greene

THE SOLUTION

After

Before

1. The space was divided into a large entertainment area and a home gym.

2. The kids have their own space for playing multiplayer video games. It’s complete with two TV screens and cabinets for storage of consoles and games.

3. The barn doors that separate the living area from the exercise room feature innovative stops for soft-opening and soft-closing functionality.

4. Built-in shelves and cabinets display the homeowners’ collection of sports memorabilia; the glass barn doors below the TV are a fun tie-in to the fullsize doors in the room.

5. Custom wood planks behind the television were hand distressed on-site.

To get started on your own remodeling project, visit us at caseindy.com or stop by one of our three locations.

Background: Built in 2010, this home is in the Longridge Estates neighborhood on the west side of Carmel.

THE CHALLENGE The homeowners wanted to create a space that would be enjoyed by the whole family, including two kids who love to play video games and parents who enjoy entertaining and exercising at home. They also wanted to update the aesthetic of the basement to reflect the style of the rest of their home.

Hit me with your pet shark Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Convent in the Desert of the Lions in Mexico City. (Photo by Don Knebel)

History of the Desert of the Lions Commentary by Don Knebel Much of Mexico City, a city of almost 9 million people, is crowded and noisy. But an hour’s drive from the center of TRAVEL the city is a still-peaceful area that was once the home of unusual monks seeking to be closer to God. In 1521, Spanish forces led by Hernán Cortés captured the area that is now Mexico City from the Aztecs. To help convert the indigenous people to Christianity, Catholic monks soon began arriving from Spain, including the so-called ”barefoot Carmelites,” who claimed a spiritual linkage to Jewish hermits once living on Israel’s Mount Carmel. They got their name from the requirement that they walk barefoot and took vows of poverty, chastity and absolute silence. In 1606, after having established convents among the villages in the valley, the Carmelites built a convent in an uninhabited wooded area in the mountains west of the villages, about 5,000 feet above the valley floor, where they could meditate without distractions. In 1722, the monks demolished their deteriorating convent and replaced it

with a still-standing domed structure that included a chapel and rooms for visiting monks. They named their 4,600-acre site “Desierto de los Leones” (“Desert of the Lions”) after its isolated (deserted) location and the pumas prowling the forests.

By the middle of the 19th century, the Carmelites had abandoned the Desert of the Lions, which became Mexico’s first protected forest in 1876. After use as a military headquarters, the area became Mexico’s first national park in 1917. Today, the Desert of the Lions and its immaculately maintained grounds are within the boundaries of Mexico City. Some rooms within the convent building are now museums, illustrating the life of the monks who once lived there. The still-active chapel and gardens are popular for weddings and quinceañeras, parties recognizing a 15-year-old girl’s coming of age.

I’d love to be in a real band someday, if for no other reason but to come up with cool potential band GRAMMAR GUY names.

Are you ready?

Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Mondegreen!

After a quick Google search, it appears as though both Mondegreen and The Mondegreens are already band names. All the good ones are taken.

Because I don’t want to get in a legal battle with either band, I’ll just tell you about the term “mondegreen” instead.

A mondegreen is a term for a misheard music lyric that you sing or hear instead of the correct lyrics. Writer Sylvia Wright coined the term in 1954 in an article for Harper’s Bazaar, in which she recounted a misunderstood song lyric from “The Bonny of Earl Murray.” Instead of the actual lyrics “...and layd him on the green,” Wright heard “and Lady Mondegreen.”

I love mondegreens. Some notable mondegreens include lyrics from Jimi Hendrix’s song “Purple Haze.” “Excuse me while I kiss this guy” instead of “excuse

me while I kiss the sky” often is heard.

Pretty much every line from Elton John’s “Tiny Dancer” is easy to mishear. “Hold me close now Tiny Dancer” really does sound like “folding clothes with Tony Danza.”

I’ve also heard people think this line said, “Happy birthday, private waxer” and “Hold me close, I’m tired of dancing.”

Our brains hear these musical words and interpret them as whatever sounds make the most sense. That’s why, when we’re listening to a Pat Benetar hit, we’re prone to hearing “Hit me with your pet shark” instead of “Hit me with your best shot.” I think I like the “pet shark” line better.

I could go on and on with examples of familiar mondegreens, but I want to take a moment to dub the already-knighted Elton John as the King of the Mondegreens.

So, if you ever hear me going on about some guy named “Monty Green,” you may want to look up the lyrics to find out what I’m actually singing.
