Open Doors 75 percent complete with capital campaign

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Open Doors of Washington Township – a food and clothing pantry in Westfield – launched its capital campaign Oct. new location 10 with hopes of raising $310,000 for the construction of a new, 5,000-square-foot facility. The new location is planned on a plot of land adjacent to Monon Trail Elementary School.

Since the group introduced the campaign at Westfield Chamber of Commerce meeting late last year, it has raised 75 percent of the money through donations from companies and individuals.

“We are thrilled with the success of where we are so far. We are just thrilled that the community has been so supportive,” said Jerry Rosenberger, treasurer. “It’s just a blessing we appreciate.”

To continue the quest to raise the funds, Open Doors will communicate with the pastors of the 14 churches that support the food and clothing pantry to present in front of the congregation.

The next item on the group’s timeline is selecting one of the three potential structural building companies for the construction of the new building. Rosenberger said he is searching for partners to assist Open Doors with the indoor construction of the building as well.

“With the inside we will need some framing people and electricians and plumbers … I want to talk to some of the local contractors in the Westfield area for helping us out to provide some free or reduced labor for those things,” he said.

For those wishing to help, contact Rosenberger at jerryr2810@yahoo.com.

The current Open Doors facility, located in the old fire station off of Jersey Street, is only 2,800 square feet. Rosenberger said with food drives, the current location doesn’t have enough space, and the food is spread through Westfield at different churches and warehouses.

“We just have things spread around because we don’t have room so (the new building) should take care of all that so we can consolidate all of our space needs in one building,” he said. “It’s very inefficient now when we store food somewhere else than the pantry. This will resolve a lot

of issues with the fight for space.”

The capital campaign will continue through March, and donations can be made through the new website, OpenDoorsWestfield.org, or sent via check to P.O. Box 196, Westfield, IN 46074.

“We’ve had great success with people even outside of Westfield, in Noblesville and Carmel, donating,” Rosenberger said.

Open Doors should break ground at the new location by the middle of the year, and the group expects to move in spring of 2017.

Three generations of Westfield couples dole out relationship advice

Katherine Cole and Derek Dolen Katherine Cole and Derek Dolen recently got engaged after dating through high school. Cole currently attends Indiana University, and Dolen is a student at Purdue University, but the couple doesn’t let distance get in the way of the relationship.

“Take it seriously,” Cole advised other couples.

“Don’t assume that you’re going to break up in six months, especially for younger couples. We were 15 when we started dating and took it seriously the whole time, and now we’re getting married.”

Dolen credits the couple’s success to communication.

“Communication is important but equally important is listening, especially in a long distance relationship,” he said.

The Knights also met in high school and will be married for 20 years this summer. They agree with Cole and Dolen on the communication aspect, but have other advice, as well.

“We make a lot of time for each other no matter how busy we get with kids and jobs and things that pull you away. We always make time,” Dawn said.

One common tip for relationships, never going to bed angry, has proven helpful in the couple’s longevity.

“It’s made for some long nights occasionally,” Dawn joked.

The couple owns Grand Junction Brewery and agrees the business is one of their hobbies since they both love beer.

Jon said making quality time for each other doesn’t have to be anything fancy, and even running errands together can be an adventure.

“Marry someone who is also a friend,” Dawn said.

“We love each other, but we are also best friends and that helps a lot.”

“Never make any disparaging comments about your better half to other people,” Jon added. “Only talk about your significant other in a positive light.”

For their 25th anniversay, the Keens visited Paris.

Mark and Linda Keen Mark and Linda Keen met in Missouri when Mark hired Linda for a job in special education. Years later, the two realized they were better off as a couple.

“I can’t remember not being married to Mark,” Linda said of the superintendent at Westfield Washington Schools.

Linda said something couples need to realize is that people change over the years.

“I think the most important thing is you have to understand that people don’t stay the same,” she said.

“My advice would be to recognize that in a marriage, both people have to be happy, satisfied and fulfilled as individuals before they can be fulfilled as a couple.”

In terms of interests, the couple shares one strong, unique one. They compete together as what Mark deems “amateur ballroom dancers.”

“As far as the dancing goes, it has given us an activity that we both enjoy doing together,” Linda said.

“Which I think is important in a marriage. In order to do it, we have to work together as a team which carries over into other parts of our marriage as well.”

The couple takes dance lessons at Aurelia Dance Studio in Westfield.

What advice would you give other couples?

Communication, taking the relationship seriously.

Making time for each other, never going to bed angry, find a friend in your spouse.

Evolve with the significant other instead of as an individual, enjoying activities together to strengthen the marriage.

Parenting ain’t easy

F R O M T HE B A C KSH O P

U.S. 31 a boon to our region It seems like it was ages ago, when the project to convert the former Meridian Street into a freeway now known as U.S. 31 got under way in 2011. As was the case with the making of Keystone Parkway, we all lived with varying shares of delays, dust and dirt and shortcuts, but now that it’s all but complete, who really remembers it? As we wrote back when Keystone was in the thick of being converted, no one would think much of the inconveniences long term, because the pleasure was and is worth whatever pain was associated with the project. And thus shall be the fading memory of all that U.S. 31 entailed for motorists. We never imagined the day when we could travel in six minutes from 146th Street to I-465, but that’s reality, and we rather enjoy it. And speaking of the interstate, the flyovers are nothing short of incredible. Everything has flowed effortlessly for us, and we imagine it’s the same for you.

There are some finishing touches to be applied, but, oh, what a difference the new thoroughfare makes. Well done!

••• Thanks to all our readers that participated in the recently concluded contest to select the best marriage proposal. We have winners!

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

This could be a rumble Commentary by John L. Micek It’s so on.

Instead of a coronation, Democrat Hillary Clinton, the ultimate political insider, left Iowa last week in the middle of an honestto-goodness campaign against a septuagenarian, self-described Democratic Socialist who’d promised his supporters a political revolution.

For Republicans, Donald Trump, the bloviating former reality TV star who boasted that voters would get so sick of winning with him that they’d beg for the occasional loss, found himself awkwardly trying to be gracious in defeat to Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, who speaks in the cadences of the pulpit and dresses in the suits of a mortician.

A defining Iowa win was considered critical for Clinton, who trails Sanders by an average of 18 points in New Hampshire, based on data compiled by RealClear Politics. The

Granite State holds its primary today. In 2008, Clinton lost Iowa, and the race, to another charismatic outsider — Barack Obama.

The Clinton camp tried to characterize Sanders’ strong Iowa showing as a one-off. But Sanders’ win highlights ongoing problems for Clinton, who’s faced questions about her honesty and trustworthiness over an email scandal that simply will not go away.

With just five percentage points separating them, Trump, Cruz and U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida provided Republicans with an unexpected three-way race for the GOP crown heading into today’s vote.

A dead heat for the Democrats. A horse race for the GOP. John L. Micek is a political journalist and opinion editor for PennLive/The Patriot-News in Harrisburg, Pa. You may email him at jmicek@pennlive.com.

Q U O T E O F T HE WEEK Liberty means responsibility.

That is why most men dread it.

– George Bernard Shaw

When does parenting get easy? I thought that once my kids grew out of the croup-prone, communicationhumor challenged phase, I’d be set.

Then I was certain that when my oldest could babysit my youngest, life would begin anew. Now that I have a teenage driver, I should be golden, right? But parenting only seems to be getting harder.

The reasons for my current maternal ulcer are one sick daughter and one underachieving son. Together they have pushed, nay, shoved my mommy patience to the brink. Two totally different parenting dilemmas thrust upon me as I also try manage a job, house, a husband and various other everyday minutia.

First up, my tiny dancer. Eleven days ago she began complaining of a headache, and while I first chalked it up to lack of sleep, by the fourth day of constant pain, I began trolling the internet for brain tumor symptoms. Everything checked out fine at the pediatrician; the doctor simply advised to up the OTC ibuprofen. But after a sixth day and multiple SOS text messages from her, I had to work some logistical magic over my lunch break to get an unauthorized neighbor to break her out of school.

The headache was getting worse, and had us both in tears that evening. It seemed I could do nothing to help my baby. Finally, on office visit number two, the doc found fluid in her ears and swollen glands. Thank Jesus! I can handle a sinus infection! We’re now on antibiotics and the headache has all but disappeared.

In the middle of this “What if my kid has cancer?” week, my husband Doo casually glanced at our 17-year-old’s grades, and completely lost his shtick. We ended up in a fight about the best way to encourage our son to work to his potential, and completely forgot to even ground the ne’erdo-well. How do we motivate a kid who is quite happy with “doing okay?” Should we step back or get in his face? I don’t know, and it’s driving me nuts.

So I ask again, “When does parenting get easy?” Peace out.

My wife says I’m not a spiritual person, but shopping at Whole Foods is really a big step in that direction for me. humor I don’t like buying eggs and milk in the same place that sells snow boots, an unassembled chest of drawers and treadmills, like Super Target or Meijer. Those stores are Half Foods.

At Whole Foods, almost everything on the shelves is edible, except stuff that is fat-free, gluten-free or sugar-free … which, come to think of it, is almost everything.

Last week, I bought a bar of soap, wrapped in clear shrink-wrap. When I got out of the shower the next morning, I told Mary Ellen I didn’t think it lathered very well. “Is it because it’s organic?” I asked.

“No, it’s because you just washed yourself with a wedge of cheese.”

Mary Ellen’s shopping list is a model for anyone who wants to eat healthy: almond milk, kale and low fat granola. If I shop on my own at a regular supermarket, I smuggle in white bread, hard salami and doughnuts.

When we shop together, I’m on a very short

leash and the chances of getting any treats are zero – even if I beg. I wish my wife would treat me more like a dog. I deserve it.

Magazines at Whole Foods always have the words Yogurt or Yoga or Yogi on the cover.

One was called “The Road to Renewal.” I expected it to contain approaches to reaching nirvana, but instead there’s a check-list for what to take on your next journey. There was no mention of a positive attitude, or a degree of self-reflection or introspection. Instead, the top three items were underwear, white socks and sandals – important things to take on one of the several dozen mind/body retreats they offer around the world, and at a very lofty price, too.

So I guess you can be a new-age, WholeFoods-shopping, transcendental-meditating Buddha fan, and still believe in making a buck.

That’s the spirit!

I wish my wife would treat me more like a dog. I deserve it.

VALENTINE’S DAY

Current in Westfield

Current asked readers to submit short essays about romantic marriage proposals. Online voters chose the top three favorite stories of romance. To read more of these essays, visit youarecurrent.com.

THE MOST ROMANTIC MARRIAGE PROPOSAL

Scavenger Hunt ends with proposal by Gail and Jay Blackburn of Carmel My now husband’s name is Jay Blackburn. We live in Carmel, have two beautiful girls, Grace (13) and Rachel (9). We have been married 16 years.

In July 1998, I was offered the opportunity to go to Europe and live for three months and work. Little did I know when I got this offer, my then-boyfriend, was planning out an elaborate proposal for me that was due to take place the very next weekend after I was offered the job opportunity. Of course, I was to go on my European job assignment in three weeks.

So it was also around our “dating anniversary,” so he just told me he had a surprise for me, and I wasn’t to put anything on the calendar for Saturday, July 11th. That morning he sent me off on a scavenger hunt.

First stop was a trip to the spa (which I love). I got three treatments and a light lunch at Phillipe’s Spa in Indy. At that end of it, one of the people working in there came into the dressing room and gave me a card (from Jay) that gave me my next destination. I was to go “Parisian” (now no longer at the mall) since I was about to embark on a European adventure.

I was to pick out my favorite perfume (with the gift card in the card) and ask for a certain person behind the perfume counter that would help me with my next destination.

I got another card (from Jay) that advised me to go to “The Gap” and pick something out (with gift card again) that I would enjoy while we would have a “gap” between us as we lived in two different countries (I purchased a pair of pants). To read the full story, visit youarecurrent.com.

Life’s like a box of chocolates

by Lindsey Campuzano of Noblesville

My husband, Armando, proposed to me on February 17, 2008.

Since we’d only been dating about a year and Valentine’s Day had just passed, it came as a complete surprise.

Armando had recently purchased a new home, and we had invited my parents and younger siblings over for dinner and to see the new place. After dinner, as we were chatting in the living room, Armando disappeared into the bedroom. He was gone long enough that I was beginning to wonder what he was up to, when he emerged with a box of Ghirardelli chocolates. He handed them to me and asked me to pick one. I am not a huge fan of chocolate, so I declined and handed them to my sister to pass around the group. As the box of chocolates made its way around the room, Armando insisted that I try one. I agreed and when the box was in my lap, I started to select one. He stopped me, telling me there was a special one he wanted me to try. Nestled among the chocolates, he had wrapped a beautiful ring in a Hershey’s Kiss wrapper. In front of my family, Armando asked me spend the rest of our lives together and I happily agreed.

Eight wonderful years later, it’s the best chocolate I’ve ever received.

The package deal by Mary Pierce of Noblesville My story is not a traditional engagement, because as my oldest son told my future husband, “She is a package deal.” (My boys were ages 9 and 14.) My future husband, John, had never been married nor had any children. That was December 2002.

Fast forward to March 2008, John told me to pack an overnight bag with clothes suitable for dinner. He had a surprise date planned. I did not know that he had already asked my father for permission to ask me to get married. We had discussed getting engaged, but I had no idea when it would happen.

So, on March 20, 2008, I packed my bag and off we went. I had no idea of our destination and no hints. We arrived at The Canterbury Hotel where John made reservations for the presidential suite, which was incredible.

We entered the presidential suite and there was an enormous beautiful floral arrange-

ment. I turned to John and said, “Wow, they take care of everything.” At that point John said, “I took care of that. They are yours. I took care of this as well.” He took out a small box, got down on one knee, and asked, “Would you be my wife?”

Of course, I said, “yes.” After I said yes, John said that you have two hours to call everyone and then we have reservations at St. Elmo’s and tickets for the Bruce Springsteen concert. Following a wonderful dinner, we went to the concert where everyone congratulated us. John planned and surprised me with the most wonderful, magical engagement.

We were married June 8, 2010. Both of our sons gave wonderful toasts. Everyday, I am thankful for a wonderful man who married a “package deal” and became the best husband and father a woman could ask for.

Perfectly pink Commentary by Anna Skinner After recently receiving its liquor license, Rosie’s Place in Noblesville wasted no time in establishing a great mix of unique recipe and traditional cocktails for being a breakfast and lunch café. Waiting until 5 o’clock to indulge won’t be an option as you can take your sweetie out on Valentine’s Day and order the colorful Grapefruit Mimosa.

The unique spin on the traditional orange juice and champagne beverage comes in three parts – a small bottle of champagne, a small decanter of grapefruit juice and an empty champagne flute. You play mixologist, and whether or not you prefer your unique mimosas fruitier or with more bubbly, it’s all up to you to decide.

It yielded about two mimosas and is a perfectly pink way to share your love and appreciation with each other on Valentine’s Day. Not a grapefruit fan? Rosie’s Place offers the traditional orange juice and champagne version as well to start the special morning off right.

Deliver Valentine’s songs

Almond French toast

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

Commentary by Ceci Martinez

Circle City Sound has been delivering love songs for Valentine’s Day for more than 20 years. gifts Several barbershop quartets, wearing tuxes, from within Circle City Sound, travel all over the Indianapolis area to perform Singing Valentines.

“One time we sang to a fellow, whose wife bought the Valentine for him, while he was in the dentist’s chair,” said Circle City Sound member Jack Shaffer, a Carmel resident. “We’re singing to him while the dentist is cleaning his teeth.”

Shaffer said it is usually a two-day event when the quartets schedule these Singing Valentines, but with Valentine’s Day falling on Sunday this year, they will have quartets out for three days, Feb. 12-14.

Shaffer said each quartet will do 10 to 18 each day, depending how far apart the visits are that day. He anticipates they will perform 100 Singing Valentines.

Shaffer said they perform “Let Me Call You Sweetheart” or “Heart of My Heart.” They deliver a personalized Valentine’s Day card from the person who ordered it and a silk rose. The quartet also poses for a picture

Moist croissants by dipping them in the egg batter and transfer them to the pan; brown lightly on both sides at medium-low heat, place them in the oven to keep warm.

In a small pan, mix syrup or honey, 2 tablespoons of butter, almonds and almond extract. Heat for 5 minutes while mixing with a spoon. Remove croissants from oven and spread syrupalmond mix evenly; return to oven for 5 minutes. Serve warm accompanied by your choice of fruit.

Warm your winter with local hot chocolate

Toasted Marshmallow Hot Chocolate Mama Bear’s Bakery and Café, Geist I don’t frequent the Geist side of Fishers very much, but I made a special trip out there after discovering that Mama Bear’s had some of the best hot chocolate in the state. If there was an award for this, I’m pretty sure it would be hanging on the ski lodge-esque café’s walls. Their hot chocolate was made with a toasted marshmallow syrup. It gave the smooth, creamy taste of the traditional hot chocolate topping which I preferred over the foaminess from actual melted marshmallows. The baristas also donned the top with cute latte art and a dash of cinnamon to customize the beverage. Craving whipped cream? They can top your hot chocolate with that instead of the milk designs.

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com For years, I have been a self-christened coffee fiend, coffee snob, coffee addict – take your pick – and I didn’t waste time with non-caffeinated beverages. Why drink beverages something delicious when you could drink something that kick starts your day? But, I set my assumptions of those sinful non-caffeinated beverages aside as I toured Hamilton County seeking for the best hot chocolate havens.

Frozen Hot Chocolate (Spiked) Langton’s, Carmel This one is for the parents. Send your kids next door to a more family friendly café or bakery and cup your hands around this frozen delicacy. Crafted with Patron XO Incendio, Ghirardelli Chocolate Liqueur, Frangelico Hazelnut Liqueur and topped with a fluffy whipped cream, this was a unique take on a spiked hot chocolate. Another twist? It’s actually served over ice. Yet, as you may guess, despite the iced beverage, Langton’s version of hot chocolate will do the job of warming you up even though it’s frozen. The Incendio gives the drink a little kick, but it’s not unbearable for the mild taste buds out there. Whether it’s a cold or warm day, treating yourself to this spiked nectar of the chocolate gods will warm your soul.

dark hot chocolate The Quirky Feather Confectionary, Carmel This little café opened quite recently, and I enjoyed their coffee so I chose to try their hot chocolate. They offered three varieties – dark, white, or tuxedo, which was a mix of the two. I chose dark, as I am not an overly-sweet person. It was phenomenal.

The dark chocolate was not overbearingly sweet, but not bitter like some darker chocolate beverages or snacks can be. And the best part? The whipped cream is made in house with real whipping cream and not from a packet. It was a nice touch on a classic hot chocolate. A generous chocolate drizzle on the homemade whipped cream topped the hot chocolate off and rated it a 10/10 on my snobby scale.

All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2016) “Where’s Amy?” … I loved attending the amazing, sold-out production of “Sweeney Todd” at the Actors Theatre of Indiana. I urge you to drop everything and go see this show, which runs until Feb. 14. Yep, it’s true, you can take your special Valentine on a date to see this mindblowing show with a stellar cast and crew. I am still blown away by the fact that ATI’s “Sweeney Todd” was like seeing an authentic Broadway production without actually being on Broadway. The popular and haunting songs written by Stephen Sondheim were brought to life by Don Farrell, Judy Collins and the entire company. The orchestra never missed a beat, and I loved the set, which included a fancy red barber’s chair and a piping hot stove perfect for baking delicious meat pies.

Every time I attend a performance at ATI, I am reminded that we are blessed to have such an incredible professional theatre company right here in Carmel. I have seen many theatrical productions all over the world. ATI’s “Sweeney Todd” is brilliant and not to be missed. Bravo to my pals at Actors Theatre of Indiana - “Sweeney Todd” has set the bar high. Grab your friends, and make an appointment with Mr. Sweeney Todd for a shave if you dare. You will be sitting on pins and needles and loving every minute of it! Oh, and don’t miss the upcoming “Unnecessary FARCE,” which runs April 29 May 15. For more info on the hottest tickets in town, visit atistage.org, or call 843-3800 to reserve your seats.

“Where’s Amy?” looks forward to seeing you there! Too much fun!

Don Farrell, Sr. was happy he passed on his son Don Jr.’s invitation for a free shave at “Sweeney Todd” on opening night. Don Farrell Jr. is a co-founder/ artistic director of Actors Theatre of Indiana.

Bravo to talented high school students and ATI actors Elizabeth Hutson and John Collins who told “Where’s Amy?” they were excited to have the opportunity to perform in “Sweeney Todd” at the Actors Theatre of Indiana.

“Where’s Amy?” always loves hanging out with her pals Jeff and ATI director of marketing and development Kristen Merritt.

Chocolate pudding with stawberries Commentary by Ceci Martinez

Who can resist a simple but incredible delicious chocolate treat? Chocolate pudding with strawberries is the perfect gift from your kitchen to your loved ones this Valentine’s Day! I cannot remember who said, “Sometimes the best dishes are the simplest,” but it is certainly true with this.

Note: Did you know that the word “chocolate” comes from the Aztec word “xocoatl,” the bitter drink made from cacao by the Aztecs and Mayans?

Serves: 4 Ingredients: 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons

cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 2 cups whole milk, 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, 1 pint strawberries Direction: In a saucepan, whisk together sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch and salt. Add milk, whisking to combine, set pan over medium heat. Bring to boil, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, and cook until pudding thickens, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn off the heat, stir butter and vanilla.

Ladle pudding into four small bowls and let cool. Serve at room temperature or chilled.

Westfield business aids in investing, manufacturing

THE

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

One Westfield business owner aims to make a difference for inventors big and small.

Michael Schnell, owner of product Rising Product, LLC. headquartered in Westfield, helps inventors with investing, engineering and manufacturing the products they want to create.

Rising Product aids in an inventor’s creation from basic design to manufacturing.

“A lot of inventors spend thousands to get invested and a very small portion of them actually get what they want,” Schnell said.

“They don’t know how to put it all together and make sure it’s going to be successful, and that’s what we do. We have the whole puzzle and can put it all together for them and give them what they need to sell the product and bring it to market.”

The business launched in 2000 and also aids companies with price reduction. Schnell worked with Cummins, a power generation equipment company, with that concept.

Rising Product assists inventors with assembling, logistics and engineering as well as investing and manufacturing. Schnell moved to Westfield three years ago from Zionsville to raise his family.

Rising Product has worked with big and small companies, as well as individuals.

Schnell said the biggest company he worked with was Crayola, to design colored sand, and Cummins.

Now is the time to sell!

“The biggest thing I can say is there are so many inventors out here, and everybody’s got a great product, but how do you know how to actually bring it to market, and how do you even design it?” Schnell said. “They come to me with the greatest idea in the world and bring me the product, and we start to work on it together. We help them fill in the spaces that they haven’t been able to do.”

Inventors or companies wishing to use Rising Product’s services, email schnell@risingproduct.com.

Dispatches Tourism improves – The introduction of the Grand Park Sports Complex in Westfield in 2014 and a continued strong weekday business market pushed the local overall economic impact of tourism up 4.8 percent between 2013-2014, Hamilton County Tourism officials said recently. The annual study from the Indiana Office of Tourism Development showed direct visitor spending grew to nearly $389 million.

The local tourism economy contributes more than $90 million to state and local taxes.

Hamilton Co. joins JDAI – Thirteen counties, including Hamilton Co., will join Indiana’s Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative this year. JDAI aims to improve outcomes for children in the justice system while ensuring public safety. JDAI and other juvenile reforms have allowed the Dept. of Correction to save more than $15 million annually, and re-arrest rates have declined from 25 percent to 10 percent in JDAI counties.

OneZone and SCORE partner – With an initiative to provide OneZone members new tools to grow

and prosper, OneZone and Indianapolis SCORE announce a new partnership. Beginning this month, on-site mentoring by SCORE volunteers will be available to members of OneZone, the organization formed in 2015 with the merger of the Carmel and Fishers chambers of commerce.

Realty awards given – MIBOR Realtor Association recently recognized industry and community service standouts at its annual event – The Ball: A Benefit For the REALTOR® Foundation. Award recipients included: 2015 Realtor of the Year – John Creamer; 2015 Affiliate of the Year – Dorothy Dodd of Salin Bank; Distinguished Service Awards – Janet Jernigan, Tom Johnson, Steve Sullivan; F.C.

Home advances for technology Commentary by David Decker Technology is moving faster than ever and we’re seeing huge advances in the abilities of our phones, our home enterinteriors tainment systems, and our vehicles. But did you know that tech is even taking over the kitchen?

Advances in technology have made life in your kitchen easier than ever. Check out some of our favorite ways technology is improving home kitchens.

Charging Stations The place where once you may have had a message station for your home phone has now become a place to charge and store your smart devices. Built-in USB ports allow you to maximize your charging potential while minimizing the number of outlets needed. This is an easy way to keep an eye on all the devices in the house and make sure their batteries are full.

Sensor-Activated Lighting Is there someone in your home who is always forgetting to turn off the lights? Automated lighting can help solve that problem.

Sensors can turn the lights on when they detect motion in the kitchen, and if there’s no motion for a set period of time, they will the

turn lights off. Lights can also be programmed to turn on and off at specific times, and can be controlled by your smart phone. This is a great innovation for families with lots of kids, or anyone who wants to save money on their utility bills.

Hands-Free Faucets When you’ve been handling things like raw

meat, the less you have to touch the better.

Hands-free faucets are perfect for the busy cook and they can cut down on the spread of bacteria through your kitchen. They are also great for youngsters who want to fill their own cup but can’t quite reach the handle.

Dispatches Cold-season veggies – A good variety of crops actually grow best during the cooler months. If you aren’t quite ready to give up your fresh produce each year, try planting cold-season veggies like broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, peas, and Brussels sprouts. Collards, mustard greens, spinach, kale, mâche, and many kinds of lettuce also prefer cooler temperatures. Root veggies like turnips, beets, radishes, rutabagas, and baby carrots are more options for the cold-weather garden.

Source: Natural living Get a jump start on weeding – As soon as the snow starts to melt you might start to see weeds popping up. Pulling weeds in colder weather will actually reduce the likelihood of them regrowing in warmer months.

Source: Natural living Don’t waste lemons – If you need only a few drops of lemon juice, avoid cutting the lemon in half - it will dry out quickly that way. Instead, puncture the fruit with a metal skewer and squeeze out exactly what you require.

Karnak’s forest of columns

KITCHENS

Commentary by Don Knebel A colonnaded building near the modern city of Luxor demonstrates the travel skill of ancient Egyptians. But the huge structure also shows that Egyptian architects, who could design the pyramids, never learned to employ a basic architectural element.

In about 1900 B.C., pharaohs began building temples honoring Egyptian gods near their capital at Thebes. This complex, named “Karnak,” eventually covered more than 1000 acres, making it the world’s second largest religious site.
