City preps for winter weather

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com When snow and ice hit this winter, many Noblesville streets should be cleared a bit quicker than in the past with the addition of roads a second salt barn.

“The people on the east side of Noblesville should see an improvement on their service and response time when winter hits because of the new salt barn,” Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear said. “The new facility is estimated to save our drivers an hour and 15 minutes every time they have to refill.”

The second salt barn, 12575 E. 166th St., was opened Nov. 9 at a cost of approximately $1 million. It holds 5,000 tons of salt. The River Road Salt Barn, 16101 River Rd., was built in 2007 and holds 3,500 tons of salt.

Noblesville is in a buying co-op for salt with other cities in Hamilton Co. “By having two barns now, we should always be able to take delivery of all of our salt in the offseason,” Noblesville Street Commissioner Patty Johnson said. “That helps tremendously not having to worry about taking crews off the streets to unload orders during the winter or receiving multiple orders.”

Street department employees work 12-hour shifts until the streets are in acceptable condition during storms.

There are 33 plow drivers with a fleet of 18 pick-ups with plows, five single-axle dump trucks with plows, eight tandem-axle dump trucks with plows and six pick-ups used to spray brine.

Robert Herrington, public affairs manager, said the city has budgeted $350,000 to purchase salt.

An average snowstorm requires approximately 600 tons of salt to cover the entire city.

If there is sufficient notice of a pending winter storm, Herrington said pre-treating begins several days ahead. The pre-treating is done with salt brine and rock salt if there is no rain prior to the storm reaching Noblesville. Salt brine is more

cost effective than using rock salt and reacts better to the road surface and doesn’t scatter like salt. But salt brine does not work on wet surfaces.

This winter, the city plans to be more active through social media in providing updates to residents when available about plowing and snow removal, Herrington said.

Current in Noblesville’s Market District Teacher of the Month winner was Julie Sanchez, a fourth grade teacher at Our Lady of Grace Catholic School. Her student, Hadley Macey, nominated her by writing a 100-word essay. Their reward?

A classroom pizza party and $50 gift card from Market District, the Teacher of the Month sponsor.

Here is Hadley’s winning essay: My fourth grade teacher, Mrs. Julie Sanchez, is the best teacher in the world. She deserves to win an award because she is positive in the classroom and encourages our class to do their very best and be good citizens. She has a very big heart and cheers us up when we feel sad. She makes learning fun. I know Mrs. Sanchez works very hard and many hours for her students and school.

She attends school sporting events to cheer on her students. For these many reasons, Mrs. Sanchez at Our Lady of Grace Catholic school in Noblesville should be Teacher of the Month.

Rodgers races to finish New Year’s goal

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

At the start of 2015, a group of seven friends set a goal of running at least one mile each day. running Only one remains as time runs out on 2015.

“The closest one to me dropped out six months ago,” Tammy Rodgers, Noblesville, said. “Some only lasted a month, some three or four months.”

The group included Rodgers’ sister Nancy Riley. Rodgers, who has run a personal training business, Fitness on the Square, 173 N. Ninth St., Noblesville, for 12 years, has been a trainer for 28 years.

As she nears the end, the hardest part Rodgers said is remembering to run every day.

“So about a month ago, I woke up at 11:45 at night,” Rodgers said. “I got up, put my winter

coat on and ran in my pajamas a mile.”

She typically takes nine to 10 minutes to run a mile so she made it with a few minutes to spare.

“Usually Monday through Fridays we run four to six miles,” she said. “Then Saturdays and Sundays I just run a mile.”

During trips with her family, she ran in Washington D.C., and Charleston, S.C. Rodgers, who turns 50 Jan. 12, competed in the Noblesville Mini-Marathon in May. She said she wouldn’t make this kind of goal again.

“The hardest thing was doing every day,” Rodgers said. “One day I had the flu, and I still ran.”

Her only reward is everyone else has to buy her dinner if she finishes these final days.

“We’re working on coming up with a goal for next year,” Rodgers said. “We always set it on the New Year’s Eve run.”

Local Girl Scouts help decorate State House Tree

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com

Promise Road Elementary Girl Scout Junior Troop #272 with Lt. Gov. Sue Ellspermann at the State House Nov. 30. (Submitted photo)

Girl Scouts all over central Indiana recently had the opportunity to create ornaments with a blue and gold theme for holidays this year’s State House Tree.

But in addition to making ornaments, Promise Road Elementary’s Girl Scout Junior Troop #272 was invited with a few other area troops Nov. 30 to trim the tree.

The troop’s ornaments were “snowgirls” made from the girls’ handprints on blue bulbs, complete with one of the snowgirls on each ornament wearing the traditional green vest and holding up three fingers, representing the Girl Scout Promise.

After decorating the tree, troop members enjoyed cookies and cider and were able to talk with Lt. Gov. Ellspermann and tour her office and the State House.

2016 to bring changes in roads, government, development

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com Each year, the City of Noblesville grows, from expanded city services to development to new roundabouts and more. In 2016, Mayor John Ditslear says residents

can expect to see that growth continued.

“The number one goal each year is public safety and making people feel secure about living, working and visiting our great city. We also want to increase our quality of life through a variety of initiatives,” Ditslear said. “Quality of life initiatives

are important because they not only provide residents with more options, but they make the city more enticing for businesses interested in moving here. We plan to see our success of attracting, retaining and expanding business continue in 2016.”

Budget The $75,522,123 in-the-black budget for 2016 was passed by the Noblesville Common Council Oct. 28, with a general fund totaling $45,291,270.

During budget discussion, city councilors and Ditslear alike agreed it wasn’t an easy budget year, particularly after what they Ditslear say amounts to approximately $5 million annually in losses as a result of property tax caps implemented by the state.

“City departments have done their best to continue to provide services at the same quality our residents expect with less employees and resources,” Ditslear said. “We are running a lean city budget, but there are projects (and) programs that need to be addressed that reach outside of our current funding. To address this the city is looking at a cost-neutral trash fee of $10.57 per residence per month or $126.84 each year.”

Trash and recycling fee Whether citizens are for or against it, Ditslear said his hopeful implementation of the fee for

city residents will help offset recent losses.

“Before a vote will take place, we want to provide as much information and give residents adequate time to provide feedback to common council representatives,” Ditslear said.

Expected to be presented in January, the ordinance that could approve the fee hasn’t come before the Noblesville Common Council yet. If passed, the fee wouldn’t be implemented or begin until closer to the middle of the year, Ditslear said.

Ditslear added that the fee would be included in residents’ sewer bill, an all-in-one payment.

Federal Hill Commons With a projected opening of September 2016, the development of Federal Hill Commons is moving along quickly.

“We hit a pretty big landmark in being able to get pavement down on the parking lot. That is going to allow us to continue through the winter from a staging perspective,” said Parks Director Brandon Bennett. “If we don’t have a bad, bad winter, we should stay on Bennett schedule. The big thing for us to hit is that August timeframe for us to be able to get seed down.”

However, the west-of-downtown, 6.75-acre park isn’t expected to be completely finished until this time next year.

“So, when we open, a lot of it’s not going to be usable because the event lawn is going to be seeded, but there will be some things,” Bennett said. “I would love to have a grand opening, a full opening, sometime in the winter in December, because we’d like to be able to put (an ice) skating rink in.”

Trails In 2016, the final phase of the Riverwalk will begin construction, connecting Maple Avenue to other portions of the trail along the White River.

“We have a trail connection project to address gaps throughout the city. This will help make our trail system more complete and easier for residents to get around,”

A bird’s-eye view shows the layout of Federal Hill Commons. (Submitted image)

Ditslear said. “The city also is acquiring land along our portion of the Midland Trace Trail, which will connect with Westfield’s portion at Gray Road. It will take a few years to reach from the west side of the city to downtown, but once it is completed residents will be able to use trails to get from the heart of our city to the Monon Trail and down to Indianapolis.”

Nearly a dozen new businesses or expansions are already in the works for 2016, including, along the Ind. 37 corridor, Jimmy Johns, Starbucks and Tom Wood Volkswagen; at Exit 210, Helmer Scientific (25,000-square-foot expansion), Holiday Inn & Suites, Pharmakon Pharmaceuticals (50,000-square-foot expansion) and Primanti Bros. Restaurant; on 146th St, Poet’s Walk Assisted Living, Giant Eagle Get-n-Go Fuel and Convenience Store and a proposed “micro hospital”; and downtown, Dealer Auto Outlet.

City officials are careful about what new businesses are announced and when, prior to the filing of construction and development documents to city offices.

City of Noblesville Public Relations Manager Robert Herrington said, “We can say that Exit 210 will be a major point of emphasis for us in 2016. We have a lot of interest in that area and expect to make announcements in the coming year of new development.”

Greenfield Avenue and 10th Street – This five-point intersection just south of the heart of downtown will get a much-needed facelift in 2016. Still in the design stages, the city has begun plans to make this intersection a roundabout, to be completed by fall 2016. Bid opening will begin in the spring, with the project officially breaking ground with utility relocation and roadway work in June.

“Right now we have three of the five properties secure for the South 10th Street roundabout,” said City Engineer John Beery. “As long as there are no issues with the other two properties that intersection Beery with Greenfield Avenue and Christian Avenue will be constructed in 2016.

City officials also say the revamping of this area will also service as a new, southern gateway into the city from Fishers.

Resolutions: Ho, ho, ho The year that was has almost turned into the year that will be! An early top of the calendar to you all, and we hope your holidays were good to you and yours! Before we go headlong into 2016, we’re going to offer a handful of resolutions. These won’t be the types of resolutions millions make on Jan. 1 each year, only to fall off the wagon about a month later.

No, these are resolutions that have absolutely zero-percent chance of coming to fruition: 1. We resolve that local government spending be curbed to manageable levels.

2. We resolve that there will be no additional referenda for schools.

3. We resolve that there will be a legitimate face of change in this nation and it will be in the name of a legitimate third party.

4. We resolve that the arts in our communities be fully funded, with corporations stepping up in higher numbers.

5. We resolve that budget surpluses are recognized as taxpayer dollars and refunds provided to we poor saps that over-funded the coffers to begin with.

6. We resolve that government grants are “our money,” too.

7. We resolve that every article of the U.S. Constitution be observed so our forebears may return to resting in peace.

8. We resolve that everyone will “move to Costa Rica” if Hillary Rodham Clinton is elected president. (Start packing, folks.)

9. We resolve that those that govern will give the residents of our communities more than lip service.

10. We resolve to awaken from this strange dream.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Dinner at dawn Commentary by Terry Anker With the holiday break upon us, many will be spending a spate of “quality” time with family, loved-ones and other assorted acquaintances. In spinning the television dial (for those younger among our readers it is what we elders used to do to change the channels from a knob attached to the front of the device instead of clicking a remote control from the comfort of the sofa), one can find nearly as many movies dedicated to the strain of interaction with these folks as we can films extoling the virtues of the season. Even good-old George Bailey forgot his “Wonderful Life” for a moment when feeling the pressure of a bumbling uncle, a sick kid and a demanding domestic calendar.

We work ourselves to the breaking point to create perfection – only to have it ignored, at best, or disparaged, at worst, by those to whom we dedicated our effort. We cry out, “I’m sorry you don’t like the dinner I woke up at dawn to prepare for you and your un-

derserving clan!” Yet, is seeking appreciation really the point? Naturally occurring sibling rivalry, assorted misunderstanding and every manner of decades-old petty grievance have percolated into a concentrated concoction that is as toxic as it is unnecessary.

It is not to imagine that there aren’t real, legitimate, and powerful reasons to hold a grudge, but one wonders if it really matters.

These people, for the most part, are here to stay. They will be at the table next year, and the year after. We will be at their funerals – and if not, they will attend ours. These ties, even if painful and imperfect at times, deserve our commitment – at least for a day or two per year! Ignore the insult and look for the good. Or, is it possible that we’ve become part of the problem?

Q U O T E O F T HE W EE K The only way around is through – Robert Frost

Sometimes I just don’t want to be needed. Maybe it’s the holidays, but I am literally about to shiv humor the next person who asks for breakfast, a back rub, help with homework, or anything that involves me and/or my superhuman, Janeof-all-trades capabilities. Being a mom is exhausting.

A large part of this feeling is the nature of being an educator. Teaching high school means I’m basically a surrogate parent to 180 of our future leaders. It’s taxing to say the least, especially on test days when 123 of them realize they have no idea what I’ve been talking about for the last week and they all come for help at 7 a.m. I’m a good enough actress to proceed with patience, but on the inside, I’m questioning the world’s chance of survival when this lots in charge. (Kidding!

You’re all brilliant!)

After a day of helping everyone else’s teenagers, I go home to my four who’ve been left to their own devices for at least an hour. My oldest daughter asks me to listen as she talks stream-of-conscience about her emotions. My youngest begs for help with math and laundry. My oldest just wants me to make him “food.” And my middle son sits so quietly while he plays games on his phone that workingmom guilt compels me to ask if I can do anything for him. Argh!

But I don’t want to do any of this. What I want is to lock myself in my bedroom and zone out on Drunk History. I don’t want to plan dinner or run to the grocery or pick anyone up from [enter your sport here] practice. And I sure as shoot don’t want to play the good wife to my husband, who can often be needier than the kids! “Will you please rub my feet/grab my dry cleaning/watch Top Gear with me?”

No! But of course I do. Because that’s what it means to be a spouse, mother, and/or teacher. We answer the call even when we don’t want to. And on that note, I must go. Someone needs me! Peace out.

Conner Prairie receives ‘extraordinary’ grant Editor, We had an extra reason to be thankful in the days before Thanksgiving as we received some extraordinary news.

Lilly Endowment, the largest philanthropic organization in Indiana, awarded a $7.5 million grant to Conner Prairie, part of $100 million in grants to 14 cultural organizations in the central Indiana arts community.

Founded in 1934 by Eli Lilly and independent since 2006, Conner Prairie has transformed in the past decade into an immersive, family friendly history park with hands-on learning about science, the arts, nature and life in Indiana. The gift will ensure that Conner Prairie will be a viable and progressive institution for the next 100 years – and beyond.

Conner Prairie will welcome nearly 400,000 visitors this year, including about 65,000 students. We plan to use $6 million of the grant to bolster the endowment that Mr. Lilly cre-

ated as it supports all that we do, especially the expense of reduced or free admission for students, veterans and visitors on public assistance. The remaining $1.5 million will be used to help raise future financial support and ensure our long-term sustainability, specifically to fund a renovation of our historic Chinese House, used for receptions, corporate retreats, weddings and parties; partial funding for an enhanced facility for summer camp programs; and the hiring of additional fundraising professionals to share the story of the new Conner Prairie and its exponentially increased impact on the community.

This grant from Lilly Endowment helps us begin our second decade as an independent organization. We are excited about our future and grateful to the endowment for its foresight and generosity.

‘When is a tax not a tax? When it’s called a fee’ Editor, For some reason, the mayor and his office, including the planning department – who I might add use the old and worn out talking points – are getting a large advantage with Current, Reporter and other publications promoting the mayor’s ridiculous trash fee proposal and money grab.

My current taxes paid already pay for this trash removal service. Front page headlines or viewpoints? Really? The elected and bureaucrats seem to be great in discussing the fear factor or the sky-is-falling logic when neither exist. I could go on and on about double taxation regarding the to-beproposed fee that the mayor, several years ago, previously agreed he would never bring up again.

The dollar amount in this discussion is small change within the overall budget of Noblesville that included the priorities identified by the mayor as being important. Redundancies are included. However, now he talks about public safety, and as per most voters, more police and fire are not needed. Other priorities, including (Federal) Hill Park and

numerous other projects and TIFs, including the (BlueSky) project, have taken city funds as priorities and now the city wants more?

His call and decision, but (he) now wants more dollars from fees (When is a tax not a tax? When it’s called a fee.) to fund other projects identified as needed now and in prior years, but now they have become a priority per engineering departments and the mayor’s editorials of recent and past. How can that be? Take a look at Eighth Street from Conner, south to Division Street. Awful may be a fair choice of words to describe this roadway for the past seven to 10 years.

Did I not also read recently that the city was to receive many more dollars from the state as a result of the $400 million road and bridge repair program with the funds to be released in the near future? Don’t recall the share for Noblesville, but Carmel was to receive $24 million plus as I recall. What is that money to be used for?

Same old, same old if you ask me and many other voters! Manage with what you have!

Thanks, Jim Williams, Noblesville

Palladium performer Rosanne Cash reconnects with Southern roots

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Rosanne Cash considers herself a New Yorker. Been planted there for about 25 years and the singer-songwriter loves everything about the city. cover story “I was always a New Yorker at heart, I do believe,” Cash said. “I married a native New Yorker and now my son is a fifth-generation New Yorker on his dad’s side. I just had lunch with five other women who are all writers, one is an architect and one is a scientist. I just love that community exchange of ideas. It’s very good to be a writer in New York.”

Yet the eldest daughter of Johnny Cash and Vivian Liberto was born in Memphis in 1955 before her family moved to California in 1958. Her parents divorced in 1966. Cash later spent some time living in Nashville.

“I’m still connected by blood and family to the South even though I haven’t lived in the South for about 25 years,” Cash said. “I just thought it was anecdotal that I was born in the South and my family were Southerners. But it turns out going back on many trips the last few years my heart was really open to it. I reconnected to these people and these places, some of them feel very haunted. It was a powerful and inspiring experience and a lot of songs came out of it.”

Cash released “The River & The Thread” in January 2014. She will perform songs from that album and other favorites at 8 p.m. on Jan. 8 at the Palladium in Carmel. The album won three Grammy awards in February, including Best Americana album.

It’s a collection of songs by Cash and her husband, John Leventhal. Cash made visits to the South, starting when Arkansas State University contacted her about wanting to buy her father’s boyhood home in Dyess, Ark., and asked the family to get involved in the restoration and the fundraising process.

“I don’t get involved in projects about my dad, but this one really pulled at my heart,” Cash said. “So I got involved. My heart was open and it was a powerful experience.”

This album was a departure in that most of the album’s songs were written in the third person.

“I was writing more about characters and experiences outside of my own,” Cash said. “That was very satisfying, but

challenging at first. One song even went back to my own Civil War ancestors called ‘When the Master Calls the Roll.’ It was one of most satisfying songwriting experiences I’ve ever had and it kind of opened the door in some ways to writing about characters. It was in the tradition of those great Appalachian narrative ballads.”

Cash said many artists will say their last work is their favorite or their best.

“But I bet in 20 years I’ll look back and say that was a real peak for me, that was a special, special album,” she said. “I feel it was the best I could do on every song.”

Part of the appeal of Cash’s music is that it crosses all kinds of genres, country, blues, rock and folk.

“I’m restless and I’m curious and I listen to all kinds of music,” Cash said. “I don’t think you have to join a religion when you are a musician unless you’re a pure jazz or traditional bluegrass (musician) when you are working on specific tradition. I’m a songwriter and I borrow off genres and I love a lot of different kinds of music. You process it and it comes out.

It’s challenging and exciting to try things that are a little out of your wheelhouse.”

What To Expect: Parenting Coordination A recent, positive trend in Indiana family law cases, as well as several other states, has been the application of a parenting coordinator in high conflict situations.

Typically a mental health professional or a lawyer, a parenting coordinator or “PC” is an individual appointed by order of court and charged with managing on-going issues between parents (and others) in cases with constant and substantial disputes involving child custody and parenting time issues. Either party may petition the Court to appoint a parenting coordinator or if they concur that their situation would benefit from the involvement of the PC, the parties can submit an agreement to appoint one, including selecting the PC. What is a PC’s role? The Order of the Court will have considerable detail as to the extent and limitations of the duties of the PC. Depending on the level appointed, the PC may have the ability to act as a communication facilitator, an ongoing mediator and even, essentially, an arbitrator. As a general rule, the PC cannot modify the court order. For example, the coordinator may recommend a different weekly parenting time schedule, however, does not have the authority to modify the amount of time each parent has with the child(ren). All recommendations of the PC require approval of the Court to go into effect and each party has the opportunity to contest these before the judge, if desired. As the goal is to help the parties effectively co-parent and address issues which may arise from time to time, the parenting coordinator typically meets with both parties regularly, receives day-to-day questions and complaints about any aspect of a party's conduct, gather information from outside sources (schools, doctors, counselors, etc.) and works with the parties, first looking for a consensus or at least a basic agreement. If this is not successful, the PC may choose to inform the parties of what the PC believes is in the best interests of the children

11

in the hopes of pushing the parties to an agreement. Last, the PC may submit their recommendations to the Court if no agreement is possible.

In Indiana, there are several levels of authority in Indiana for PCs. A Level III Parenting Coordinator is the most frequent choice, holding a high level of authority and may make binding recommendations to the parties on the issues presented for consideration. A binding recommendation may only later be set aside by a Court Order after one party formally objects to the recommendations by filing an objection with the Court. Further, parties should be mindful that the parenting coordinator can later testify in court about the non-compliance or other issues which may arise during the sessions.

How much will this cost? Parenting Coordinators are most often attorneys and charge parents for the time involved in addressing the issues presented. The typical Court order will have the parents sharing the costs such that they are both “invested” in the process.

As part of their authority, however, the PC may have the ability to reapportion costs if one party’s lack of cooperation is clearly a primary issue and the source of a disproportionate amount of the costs.

At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., our team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs. If you have questions or concerns regarding divorce, custody, support, or any other family law concerns contact our firm at 317.DIVORCE or visit our website at www.hzlegal.com. We have attorneys at our firm who are active Parenting Coordinators and available for appointment.

‘Run For Your Wife’ on stage now

By Zach Dunkin • news@currentincarmel.com He’s back! And so is the rest of his crew.

Veteran actor Eddie Curry returns to reprise his role as the two-timing John theater Smith in Beef & Board Dinner Theatre’s season-opening “Run for your Wife,” Dec. 29-Feb. 7.

In one of his favorite roles as a cab driver leading a double life, Curry gets to re-spin some very outrageous alibis and white lies as his character scrambles to keep his life and marriages to two different women from unraveling.

“It will be a little different for me this time, and I may modify some of the physical stuff a bit,” said Curry, who first played the role on the B&B stage seven years ago. “Generally, when reprising a role in the past it has been easier. I am fortunate to share the stage with many of the actors I did the show with last time, so in theory it should be easier.”

Sarah Hund returns as Mary Smith and Jeff Stockberger is back in the role of Smith’s neighbor, Stanley Gardner. Erin Cohenour stars as John’s other wife, Barbara. It’s actually the same quartet that starred in B & B’s recent production of “The Addams Family.”

“Sarah is such a funny and giving actor,”

As part of our mission to support artists, Nickel Plate Arts, with the help of several key partners, will pilot business training classes for artists beginning in August 2015. Indianapolis law firm Brannon Sowers & Cracraft PC has stepped up as an early adopter of the project. BSC’s director, John Brannon, is a Noblesville resident and strong supporter of the local creative community.

We tapped into the business-related community. Next, we sought out local partners. We chatted up organizations in our area, and discovered key groups that shared goals and values that seemed to mesh with artists’ requests for business training. It seemed to us that each of these organizations could play an important role in the development of business training resources for artists.

We want this to be a resource for supporters on multiple levels, giving business leaders a chance to get to know artists and learn from their creativity and unique experiences. This cross-pollination should prove to be an economic asset and emphasize that this is a great area for businesses of all sizes to find talent and do business.

We hope that from these discussions, artists will begin to get a sense of the value of the program, and we better understand which teachers or subjects artists like and need.

We have been carefully cultivating this project through a complex process of exploring and connecting ideas, opportunities, resources, partnerships and perspectives over the past three years. Here’s how it happened.

We listened to artists’ needs. Through online surveys, formal feedback sessions and casual conversations, we learned that many artists in our network are

And then we’ll dive deeper. The second phase of the project, slated to begin in the fall, will include in-depth workshops for smaller groups of people taught by topical experts. Themes for these workshops will be based on feedback from the panel discussions. The final phase may include an interactive web component that will allow artists to not only see upcoming events, but also to reserve their spots, find archived resources and more.

Law Firm’s Expanding Support of NPArts

Brannon Sowers & Cracraft has been a Nickel Plate Arts First Friday sponsor since the summer of 2014, but as of July 2015, the law firm will increase its support level to become a Community Development Sponsor and help us infuse creativity into each of our six communities.

Patty Hughel, Attorney/Director at BCS, will assist us in planning sessions and participate as a panel member and workshop leader. Patty will provide insights into copyright law and how artists can best protect their works in the modern, digital world.

Ingredients for Avocado Aioli: • 2 avocados, halved, seeded and peeled (save the pit) • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice • 2 tablespoons olive oil • Salt and pepper to taste Directions: Scoop the avocado pulp into the bowl of a food processor. Add lime juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Process until smooth. Adjust seasoning. Place mix in a bowl, add avocado pit (this helps from turning brown), cover with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface and refrigerate. Remove pit when is time to serve.

The many myths floating around about home improvement projects can distort the reality of your home project. (Submitted photo)

TV shows don’t always reflect reality Commentary by David Decker If you’re like us, you love a good renovation show on HGTV or the DIY network. It’s always fun to see a home transhome formed from awful to amazing in just under 30 minutes. However, sometimes what you see on television doesn’t exactly reflect reality. We’ve done hundreds of bathroom and kitchen remodels, and installed thousands of feet of flooring, and we can tell you – you can’t always believe what you see on TV. Here are some myths you might see on renovation shows, and the truths we’ve learned from years of experience.

Television myth: Granite is king Some renovation and real estate shows will tell you that granite countertops are a musthave item and anything else is unacceptable.

We agree that granite is gorgeous and a lovely choice for your home, but it’s far from the only great material to use. Quartz, marble, wood, and even concrete can create a beautiful and durable countertop for your home.

Television myth: Hardwood floors are the only option

Remodeling shows tend to put a high-emphasis on installing hardwood floors, and we understand why. Hardwoods are a gorgeous choice and add value to your home. However, hardwood floors don’t fit every budget and lifestyle. Modern technology has brought us many laminate and vinyl options that give the look of hardwood at a lower cost, and with greater durability.

Renovation and remodeling shows are fun and entertaining, but it’s important to remember that they only present us with a small picture of what remodeling is like. For real answers about the remodeling experience, we recommend scheduling a consultation with our professionals so we can answer your questions and meet the specific needs of your home.

David Decker is president of the Affordable Companies, which include Affordable Kitchens and Bathrooms and now Affordable Custom Flooring. They are based in Carmel (575-9540, www.theaffordablecompanies.com). E-mail home improvement questions to david.decker@theaffordablecompanies.com.
