Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear presents the 2016 city budget to council at its Oct. 27 meeting. (Submitted photo)

Noblesville Common Council passes 2016 operating budget

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com After passing a red (non-balanced) budget in 2015, the Noblesville Common Council, at its Oct. 27 meeting, unanimously governement passed the 2016 operating budget of $45,094,858, along with salary ordinances for elected and appointed officials and city employees.

But several city councilors say even though the budget is “in the black,” they will have to start looking into other sources of revenue.

Throughout the budget process, it has been repeated that the city has and will continue to lose $5 million each year as a result of stateimplemented property tax caps.

“Obviously it’s a tough budget. It’s pretty lean, but it is a black budget by (approximately) $12,000,” Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear said.

One source of additional revenue that has been thrown around is the potential for a trash and recycling fee. Currently, Noblesville is the only city in the county that does not charge for trash and recycling pick up. Just one month ago at Mayor Ditslear’s State of the City address, he said if the fee or other forms of revenue for the city don’t become available, the city would be forced to cut some of the high-quality services residents have come to expect.

Councilor Greg O’Connor said at the Oct. 27 meeting some of those changes can already be seen in the 2016 budget.

“I think that one of the things that we’re starting to see now, contained in this budget, we had to reduce the amount of money we’re putting in for paving, about half a million dollars. There’s some other things we’d like to be doing in the city … projects that total about $2.3 million, that we’re not going to be able to do based on this budget. I think the reality is starting to set in,” O’Connor said. “From a fiscal conservative per-

spective, this budget is right there. From a longterm growth perspective … in the end, is that where we want to go? I guess that’s a question for us, the council, to look at that and start to make decisions about what we can and can’t do.”

Council President Rick Taylor agreed.

“I’m happy we have a black budget, but I don’t think we’re moving the city forward with this budget. I think there’s a lot of things that need to be in this budget that aren’t,” Taylor said. “The bottom line is I feel like we were elected to move the city forward, and citizens respect us and voted for us to do that. With this budget, I think we missed the boat. I think this council’s got work to do, and we need to find revenue. We’re going to continue to lose $5 million (each) year to property tax caps, and we have done nothing to offset that. As elected officials, I think we need to do a better job.

Other than property tax caps, several other factors make up what city officials are calling a tough budget year.

• The 2016 calendar has 27 pay periods, compared to 2015’s 26. The extra twoweek pay period forced budget decisionmakers to automatically remove $1 million to cover the extra payment for both elected and appointed officials and city employees.

• Public safety makes up 53 percent of the budget. A press release submitted immediately after council’s approval of the budget stated public safety is the city’s No. 1 priority, resulting in “a number of areas that have needs but are unfunded with this budget.” In the same release, Mayor Ditslear said, “We are still investigating alternative funding options to improve the budget. We are trying to address all of the police and fire needs. Unfortunately, the tight budget also doesn’t allow us to hire four additional police officers.”

Our Lady of Grace Catholic School’s food drive has a new feature to encourage donations with different themes donation throughout the week.

“Parent volunteers thought the themes would keep the week interesting and help contribute to areas of the food pantry that have greater needs such as baby items, which are always in demand,” said Morgan Welsh, Our Lady of Grace fifth grade teacher.

The donations from the drive, which runs Oct. 31 through Nov. 6, go to the Noblesville Society of Saint Vincent de Paul’s food pantry, serving Hamilton County.

Among the food and supplies needed are canned vegetables, fruits, tuna, meats, cereal, toilet paper, toiletries, diapers, baby food and cleaning supplies.

Monday the theme is “Rise ‘n’ Shine Monday,” for breakfast food like cereal and oatmeal. Tuesday is “All Cleaned Up” and “Oh Baby,” for toiletries and baby items. Wednesday is “Canned Food Wednesday.” Thursday is “Oodles of Noodles,” for boxed noodles, sauces and spices. Friday is “Free for All” day, so it’s the donors’ choice.

The annual food drive, which began in 2001, serves as the fifth grade service project for the school, 9900 E. 191 St., Noblesville.

“The students get to see how the shelves fill with all the donations and soon realize how quickly it is all utilized. For many, this develops their desire to continue to serve those in need,” Welsh said.

The school goal is 17,500 items, more than seven tons of donations. Welsh said the goal is up from 15,000 items last year. Boxes are available in the school lobby.

Francesca Mohan, immediate past president and a member of the board of the service club, has long been involved with the project.

“We put them all around the square, the courthouse and town,” Mohan said. “We put out well over 100 flags.”

Mohan said when the flags are outside a private business, they ask for a $30 donation each year to offset the cost of upkeep and their replacement.

“We just spent $400 on the purchase of new flags because you have to retire them when they get too beat up,” Mohan said. “You have to make sure they’re in good shape.”

The $30 would guarantee every time the club puts up flags for a national holiday or other special occasions, one would be hanging outside their business.

Mohan said around Memorial Day the club sells small flags that are dedicated to loved ones who have died or honor people that

“The small flags go all around the courthouse, and they get a plaque that goes with it, saying ‘in memory’ or ‘in honor of,’ however, they want to phrase it,” Mohan said.

State Rep. Kathy Richardson (R-Noblesville), a member of the club, is in charge of the small flags.

Mohan is part of group of volunteers that places the full-sized flags out each holiday.

“I’ve hung them myself in the snow and the rain,” Mohan said. “We have a core group of four or five volunteers that hang them. We do it at about 7:30 in the morning before the downtown traffic begins.”

Local survivors create flower arrangements for others with cancer

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com Slighty drowsy flowers are often either overlooked at the grocery store or replaced by staff with the freshest and newest bouquets. But what happens to the old ones?

Beginning early this summer, a small group of women from Noblesville’s North Harbour neighborhood began working with the Kroger grocery store at 146th Street and Hazel Dell Parkway at Hazel Dell Crossing. The store donates all of its older flower bouquets to the Pink Ladies.

“It took a couple of months to get it up and running, to get everything OK’d through corporate Kroger,” said Linda Franck, a Pink Lady. “They’ve just been amazing.”

Organized in 2008, the Pink Ladies began as a women’s support group for cancer survivors.

But this year, on June 30, the Pink Ladies started its “Making a Difference” initiative to deliver flowers to cancer patients in area hospitals and assisted living facilities.

“We also give to the nurses station to keep them going,” said Pink Lady Stephanie Reed. “It’s not an easy place to work.”

“Many of the people we deliver to are bed-ridden or hardly ever get out,” Franck said.

But they don’t only pick up the flowers and deliver them. On each alternating Tuesday since the Making a Difference program took hold, a Pink Lady donates the space of their garage

Girl power

F R O M T HE BA C KSH 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.

••• We salute Riverview Health, which earlier this week hosted its annual Breast Cancer Celebration of Life at Purgatory Golf Club in Noblesville. We’re told it was a phenomenal event. The crowd came from far and wide to honor those who have or have beaten breast cancer (including many of the ladies on today’s cover) and their supporters. This is a great community event that recognizes our residents’ perseverance in the fight against this insidious disease, and it helps to bring to a close Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The battle must continue, and we ask that our female readers opt for increased awareness and earlier detection through screening.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

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 HE WEEK 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.

REA D ER ’ S V I EW NSDAR thanks city and mayor Editor, The Horseshoe Prairie Chapter of the NSDAR (National Society Daughters of the American Revolution) would like to thank the City of Noblesville and Mayor John Ditslear for the Proclamation honoring the chapter on its 45th anniversary and naming Oct. 11 as “Horseshoe Prairie Chapter, NSDAR Day” in Noblesville.

We deeply appreciate the honor and the recognition.

The Hamilton County Chapter, whose first Chapter Regent was Mrs. Judy Dillon, works to carry out the mission of the national organization. DAR members are descendants of patriots who fought for the cause of independence of our country during the Revolutionary War. Among the many outreach initiatives of the DAR are education, historic preservation, veterans recognition and issues, genealogical research, participating in naturalization ceremonies welcoming new citizens at their oath of citizenship by presenting them with an American flag, coordinating the DAR Good Citizen Award for high school students, pro-

moting the American History essay contest for grades 5 through 8 and high school and collecting toiletry kits and personal items needed by patients at the Veterans Administration Hospital and the Homeless Veterans Shelter.

In January, the Chapter was recognized by the U.S. Dept. of Defense as a Commemorative Partner in recognition of the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War. The NSDAR has provided special certificates of recognition for those who served during the Vietnam War. Contact your local American Legion post or VFW post or email HorseshoePrairie@aol.com for more information.

The local chapter is proud to be part of a long-standing tradition as the National Society of Daughters of the American Revolution celebrates its 125th anniversary in 2015. To learn more about DAR, I encourage readers to visit www.dar.org.

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

By Heather Lusk • news@currentnoblesville.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.

CHS actors share roles

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel High School theater teacher Jim Peterson didn’t have a hard time casting the lead actors in “The 39 Steps.” theater Everyone gets their shot.

“We’re calling it a company approach. The idea is there are 19 actors playing 150 different characters,” Peterson said.

“They say from the film there are 150 characters, but there are not 150 speaking parts. We have them play all the leads, but things like furniture, the dog, the sheep, and they play the car police chase them in.

“The main character, Richard Hanna, has a hat and coat, and whoever is playing him has the hat and coat. He’s the one who gets accused of murder and has to clear his name. I hope the audience is going to follow it.”

The performances for “The 39 Steps” will be at 7 p.m. on Nov. 12, 13 and 14 along with a 2 p.m. show on Nov. 14 at CHS Studio Theater.

Peterson said the play is more madcap fun than the 1935 movie version directed by Alfred Hitchcock.

Sophomore Eric Bembenek said he’ll play a character in one scene and then a different actor will play the same character.

“It’s a fun show and has a lot of twists and turns,” Bembenek said.

“It’s kind of confusing, but it adds to the humor to it.”

Senior Michael Davis said his work with Comedy Sportz, an improv group, helps with this play. Davis plays Hanna and one of the Bembenek villains.

“I’m used to it because I play unscripted roles with my improv group,” Davis said. “So I’m used to jumping around and switching characters.”

Davis said he helps explain what will happen to Davis the audience before the play.

Senior Kate Milazzo said it’s a different kind of theater than most are used to seeing.

“We all get to play these fun, interesting characters,” Milazzo said.

And, these aren’t just any turkeys! They’re our Chefs’ favorite Plainville Farms turkeys — no paltry status! These turkeys are all natural, raised in stress-free environments, fed an all-vegetarian diet, and free from antibiotics, artificial ingredients and hormones, so all you get is pure turkey flavor!

Want just the entrée? We can do that. Just want the sides? We can do that, too.

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.

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

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

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.

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

An actress portrays a character in the Follow the North Star program at Connor Prairie. (Submitted photo)

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

Written & Created by Roger Bean Musical and Vocal Arrangements by Roger Bean, Michael Borth and Jon Newton

Featuring the hits...

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.

Photo by Julie Curry Photography

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)

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 longer planks. Solid hardwoods, on the other hand, are sensitive to high humidity and con-

tract with the change in moisture. Because of this, they are only recommended for first 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.

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

Why 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 to do hope to create? And it’s more than “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.

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 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.
