INDOT to close part of U.S. 31 in April

INDOT has announced plans to accelerate U.S. 31 construction, and the changes will mean a portion of the road will close in April and the resulting traffic will be redirected onto Keythe commute stone Parkway.

That closure had previously been scheduled for 2015.

Early utility relocations and cleared right-of-way will allow the previously planned closure of U.S. 31 between Old Meridian Street and 136th Street in Carmel to begin on or after April 4.

U.S. 31 will reopen to traffic before Thanksgiving 2014 as construction on the corridor continues through the end of 2015.

INDOT spokesman Nathan Riggs said that although there are no huge cost savings associated with moving the closure dates to 2014, there were just more construction benefits to completing the necessary work this year.

The benefits for motorists and construction crews include: • Improving work zone safety while elevation changes are made for new bridges at 126th Street/Carmel Drive, 131st Street/Main Street and 136th Street.

• Shortening the closure duration to eight months, compared to approximately 10 months if the closure were to happen during 2015.

• Balancing traffic impacts of overpass and interchange construction across 2014 and 2015.

• Removing traffic signals from 8 miles of U.S. 31 through Carmel and Westfield by the end of 2014.

• Allowing INDOT to honor its commitment to open the new U.S. 31 Hamilton County freeway to traffic by the end of 2015.

Keystone Parkway and I-465 will serve as the official detour, while Carmel city streets will provide access to businesses on either side of U.S. 31.

Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said that cars and SUVs can get around the closure by utilizing Pennsylvania and Old Meridian streets.

He also noted that Carmel Drive will remain a viable way to cross U.S. 31.

But is the city ready for the trucks that will traverse Keystone?

“Yes. We started preparing over a decade ago,” Brainard said. “I think Keystone will work well.”

He said there is going to be a period of adjustment required from Carmel drivers, but that a good local road system is going to help.

“There’s been a lot of thought given to detour routes,” Brainard said.

But one intersection that can’t be avoided is the stoplight at 96th Street and Keystone Parkway.

Brainard said it’s a city-maintained stoplight that will need to feature a long north-south green light.

Riggs said INDOT will be modifying signage along Keystone Parkway, evaluating traffic models and constantly working to monitor the roads for improvements.

Public meetings The new U.S. 31 Hamilton County project team has scheduled meetings this week to help businesses and emergency responders to prepare for the effects of the additional traffic.

Public open houses also are scheduled in midMarch 18 at Carmel High School and March 19 at Westfield Middle School, 345 West Hoover St. Each open houses will run from 5:30 to 8 p.m. with a presentation at 6 p.m.

“We want to make sure that the businesses along the corridor are getting updates, and that we’re hearing their concerns as well,” Riggs said.

DVD review The problem with many fantasy book franchises that get turned into a series of movies it the individual films often seem much like one another. “The Hunger Games” only needs two films to arrive at dreary repetition. “Catching Fire,” the sequel to 2012’s mega-hit, unrolls in very much the same fashion, culminating with gladiatorlike games where young champions vie to kill each other off while an agitated populace is forced to watch on TV.

The art of murder

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

In a remote estate in the countryside of Connecticut, famous artist Jack Brooks awaits the imminent arrival of his art dealer. theatre But, the visit is not a standard one, for he is intending to kill the man. “Art of Murder” by Joe DiPietro, 2000’s Edgar Award Winner for best mystery play, will be performed at 7:30 p.m. March 7, 8, 14 and 15 and 2:20 p.m. March 9 and 16 at Westfield Playhouse, 1836 Ind. 32 West. The show is directed by Jan Jamison.

“This is a great script. I love the way this is written,” she said. “The audience will enjoy the twists and turns of the over ‘murder plan’ throughout the play.”

Jamison said she enjoys DiPietro’s productions and he is one of her favorite authors.

“It took me at least three readings of the play to figure out the ‘murder plan’ and how it was orchestrated by the characters. I loved the nuances and knew I wanted to put this script to life,” she said.

The cast includes Monica Reinking as Annie Brooks, Syd Loomis as Jack Brooks, Thom Johnson as Vincent Cummings and Addison D. Ahrendts as Kate.

“This cast has been amazing to direct. I cannot find the words to express the enjoyment I find from building a production from the auditions, through the blocking and the character

Jamison warns that show includes loud music, screaming and gunshots throughout the show.

Meet your teacher, Angie Hall Grade/subject at what school: Special education teacher (functional academics), Westfield Intermediate School Number of years teaching: 13 Background/Schooling (college & high school): Noblesville High School; B.S. elementary education and special education, Ball State University; M.A. education, Indiana Wesleyan University; and administrative license, Indiana Wesleyan University.

Why did you become a teacher? My parents were both educators. Their love for teaching was contagious. They were constantly searching for creative ways to make learning meaningful and engaging. Starting at the age of 7, I helped my mom with her summer school program. She worked with young adults with severe disabilities. My mom inspired me because she did whatever it took to promote individual growth and success. She was fun, unique and her student’s biggest advocate. There was no doubt I wanted to teach from a young age.

What goals do you have for your students? My goal is to teach self-advocacy, perseverance and compassion. I want each student to

know his/her strengths and passions and not be afraid to explore them. Imagine each child with a toolbox. I want to fill their boxes with a variety of tools they can access along their learning journey and beyond, into adulthood.

What do you encourage parents to do at home to help their children strengthen particular skills? Create opportunities for authentic learning outside the school setting. Connecting learning to life experiences is powerful and meaningful. Challenge your children to think creatively, problem solve, and take positive risks with their learning. Invest time in talking to your children about their day, personal goals and their reading interests.

What is your favorite movie: “The Wizard of Oz” Who is your favorite musician or band: David Gray What’s something your students might not know about you? I have competed in more than 20 half marathons and one marathon.

The art of networking

By Lauren Olsen • news@currentinwestfield.com This month’s Westfield Chamber of Commerce luncheon was a networking event designed to help Westfield’s professionals Chamber meet and mingle. The event was held at The Bridgewater Club, 3535 E. 161st St., and offered each member a chance to participate in three rounds of networking with people outside their field, giving them a chance to meet people they otherwise may not have met.

Christina Bonner, community relations and enrollment specialist, attended the event and found it to be beneficial for her professional career as well as personal gain.

“The benefit of networking Bonner with companies in the area is

not only for professional gain, but a way to learn about new personal endeavors as well,” she said.

Many other people at the event had the same sentiments. They enjoyed making professional connections but also appreciated getting to know more people in the community on a personal level.

Another Chamber member in attendance was Nicholas Feipel, Doctor of Optometry at Busby Eye Care, who found the event particularly valuable.

“It was extremely beneficial for a young professional to not only meet a lot of great and experienced professional business owners, but to also improve on my networking skills in such a great community,” Feipel said.

The next Westfield Chamber monthly luncheon is March 20 at The Bridgewater Club. The keynote address will be an update on the U.S. 31 project.

Westfield’s Severson sisters create business with inspiration messages

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com A little postcard in the mail led two Westfield sisters – Emma, 15, and Lindsay Severson, 13 – to start their own business, Positive Postcards, encouraging and motivatcover story ing others.

“The idea for the business started a couple years ago,” said their mother, Leah Severson. “They both came home with awesome report cards and I wanted to do something special for them. So Leah Severson I designed and mailed a postcard to each of them. One said ‘Way to go!’ and the other ‘I’m so proud of you!’”

“Lindsay and I really liked them,” Emma said.

That little piece of mail was such a big hit the family business began in September.

“It’s a great little business but I don’t have time to run it,” Leah said.

“We usually don’t get mail unless it’s our birthday, so getting a postcard in the mail with a nice note from our parents was really cool,” Lindsay said.

Emma and Lindsay decided it would be a great business for them to run. So with their parent’s help, they designed and printed three sets of

postcards.

“We hope that for people that receive them it makes their day happier and they get inspired to send it to someone else,” Lindsay said.

“We want it to make their day a little special.

nience, the two said working with their sibling is aggravating at times.

“It’s frustrating sometimes,” Emma said.

“We’re very different, especially when it comes to organization. I’m not as detailed oriented as she is and sometimes that clashes.”

“She doesn’t like to keep stuff neat and it’s very annoying,” Lindsay said.

“The whole thing is sending it to anyone who needs a pick-me-up. As parents we might say ‘good job’ but they (children) may not hear you,” Leah said. “It’s a great way for parents and grandparents to stay connected. You can put it on the mirror or in a picture frame – ways to cheer on your kids and that you are thinking of them long after saying, ‘Good job.’”

One aspect the girls did agree on was using their business to give back to their community; it would be an important part of their business strategy. Each week the sisters partner with a nonprofit and provide 50 percent of the proceeds to their organization. In early February, Positive Postcards raised $164 for the Westfield After-Prom Party Committee.

“Right now we’re looking for churches, schools, really any non-profit organization that wants an easy way to raise money,” Leah said.

To promote their products, the sisters spent many mornings at craft fairs and making cold calls to local businesses. The two said the mostoften-asked question is if the postcards are printed or electronic.

“We have to educate people that we still send items in the mail,” Emma said.

Emma, who maintains and edits the website, said she has learned social skills through the business.

“Talking with a lot of people you don’t know at craft shows and local businesses,” she said.

“It (cold calls) was uncomfortable talking to the manager with no appointment or anything, but it worked.”

“I’ve learned it takes a while to get started,” said Lindsay, who is in charge of social media and packaging and quality control of the orders.

The cards are sold in packs of 10 designs online at www.positivepostcards.net. Currently there are three packs available – kids, teens and Bible verses, the latter two being the best sellers.

“It’s funny because the original item was for little kids and the other two came later,” Leah said. “They are a little more universal because you can send them to any age.”

The sisters are looking at creating male- and female-specific packs.

“When we get it a little more off the ground we’ll expand it and offer more products,” Emma said.

Postcards also are sold at five Hamilton County stores, including Basket Pizzazz, 4 Kids Books and Toys, Delaney’s Gift Shoppe, Capstone Bookstore and Simply Sweet Shoppe.

Award for Cook richly deserved No, we’re not campaigning on behalf of Mayor Andy Cook here, but we’re tossing him a double thumbs-up (that would be four thumbs, two apiece, here) on the occasion of him being name Outstanding Public Official by the Greenways Foundation of Indiana. The honor is in recognition of Cook’s administration’s efforts in trail development in Westfield. There is no arguing that our trails have come light years during his term of service to the city, and they are amenities that enrich our community and enhance its standing as a relocation destination for residents and businesses. “It really is an honor to be recognized by the Greenways Foundation of Indiana, and I look forward to continue working toward our mutual goals of creating connected communities,” Mayor Cook said in a statement last week. According to the city, there exist 11.9896 miles of named trails completed in Washington Township, including Anna Kendall, Cool Creek, Cook Creek Park, Grand Junction, Little Eagle Creek, Midland Trace and Extension, Monon and Natalie Wheeler. In addition, there are 70.6241 miles of existing trails in Washington Township – named and unnamed.

It’s a wonderful thing for our city.

Mass transit idea overrides politics

The secrets we keep

Commentary by Terry Anker

Social media has opened up a new world for window peepers. Unbeknownst to many of us, our photographs are taken hundreds of times per day. Happily, most of the celebrity we might anticipate is abated by the fact that these shots are largely video surveillance at the ATM, gas pump, store, restaurant, school, workplace and just about every place we might venture during the day. These are not routinely posted to the web unless something exciting or funny occurs (think bank robbery or dancing cat).

We don’t control our image. Ordinarily, we don’t even know that it is being used. But the most common, is the photo posted to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, MySpace, LinkedIn, Tagged, Google+, Pinterest, or YouTube (these are on the top 10 list for most used social media sites of the billions of posts each year). Again, permission is rarely asked and we often don’t know of it.

Google has announced a new project called, simply enough, Image. At images.google.com one

can upload an image of anyone and the program will scan the web to find similar pictures. I did it today of myself; and, wow, it pulled up pictures of me from all over the place. Some were known to me – others definitely not. But even more simply, a long-lost acquaintance posted a photo from an eighth-grade basketball tourney (we won!) to his Facebook page. Another friend saw me in it and let me know it was out there. I found the shot and the dozen or so of comments about it. My 13 year-old saw it – and observed our family resemblance.

But the picture could have easily been me in college holding a Little King Cream Ale slightly before my 21st birthday. Is it better to live a world without secrets? We may not have much choice.

As Hamilton County mayors, we believe central Indiana needs more and better transit.

We appreciate that the legislative study committee, under the leadership of Sen. Pat Miller, came to that same conclusion.

Hamilton County has become one of the nation’s fastest-growing communiBrainard ties by looking forward and embracing what could be, rather than simply accepting what is. The people of this county have recognized that our quality of life and our prosperity depends on making this a place where Cook people want to live, work and create businesses today and into the future.

Creating that kind of place requires the amenities people are coming to expect from 21st century communities - that includes transit.

Ditslear We are encouraged with the progress of Senate Bill 176. While it’s not perfect, it’s a strong start. We’re pleased it creates a funding mechanism and provides local control by allowing county councils to seek their own voter referendums to fund and build a transit system.

Even with a wide range of political perspectives, the vast majority of the senators and representatives on the committees that have heard the bill have agreed with our stance.

In other words, the importance of the issue is overriding politics – a true sign of its significance.

We applaud these forward-looking legislators and thank them for their leadership and consensus-building on a topic that’s critical to the future economic vitality of our region.

How to write good hate mail

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

I love hate mail. But I have to be honest; some of you really need to brush up on your libel.

Take, for instance, a recent humor e-mail. The reader was quite indignant with respect to the column about my friend, whose morning with her children was ruined by a criticizing old biddy. But her comments fell short, mostly because she didn’t know how to write a decent critique. Luckily, I’ve developed this Guide to Good Hate Mail.

1. Read the column. Thoroughly. The aforementioned hater spoke at length about how poorly I had handled the situation because of my obvious lack of self-confidence, but I actually wasn’t even there. The article was about a friend’s experience. Come on now! If you’re going to use my own words against me, at least get the facts straight!

2. Play the religion card. Even though you know nothing of my faith, when you write, “You are clearly not a Christian, which might be the root of your unhappiness…” you can be sure I’ll take notice. Sure, it might not have the desired response (Doo and I enjoyed a wonderful laugh at that one), but you’ll certainly gain my attention.

And never underestimate the impact of a well-placed Scripture passage. My favorite is John 8:7. Learn it. Love it. Use it.

3. Question my parenting. So what if you’ve

never actually met me or my husband or any of my kids. You read my columns, right?

We’re as good as sisters, then, making you perfectly qualified to pass judgment. Have fun! Give unsolicited advice, badmouth my children, suggest therapy and spiritual healing (a Bible verse would fit nicely here). Or just cut to the chase and tell me I’m a terrible mother. I appreciate brevity in my hate mail as I have an enormity of selfish needs to see to above those of my family.

4. Go on and on about what an awesome spouse, parent, sibling, friend, PTO volunteer, church-goer, and eater of organic foods you are. My life is miserable, and I long to be as awesome as you!

Remember, I have low self-confidence and am going to Hell, so any awesome thing you can say to help me change my ways would be simply awesome.

5. Use synonyms. When I see the word “awesome” written repeatedly, you lose respect as a writer and a hater.

Next time you feel compelled to send hate mail, please consult this guide. It’ll make my reading so much more enjoyable! Peace out.

Makin’ bacon an issue

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

Why do I write so many columns poking fun at magazines? I have skewered Handyman magazine, Storage Solutions and humor Muscle Fitness, to name a few.

This is because each month when I go to refill my cholesterol medicines at the pharmacy I have to walk past the periodical display. I need a distraction, so I grab something off the shelf, plop down in the corner and read it cover to cover. This annoys the store manager who tells me to get up off my fatty acids or I won’t get my Lipitor.

This week I saw a cooking magazine that takes the cake. Actually, cake would have been healthier. The Food Network’s newest offering is titled “The Bacon Issue.” Yes, it’s an entire 300 pages devoted to bacon, a strategy to compensate for their relatively poor-selling Tofu/ Kale issue. The cover story says you can find 108 amazing recipes inside, which, by the way, includes 27 really bizarre ones—like the chocolate bacon cupcakes on the cover. Also on the front is a photo of a lollipop made out of bacon, the perfect way to lure the little ones away from sugar, which we all know is so unhealthy.

Inside the magazine is a detachable tiny booklet that contains 50 recipes for bacon appetizers. Things like: bacon jam, bacon-wrapped bananas and bacon ice cream. You wedge this little brochure in your back pocket and if

you are stuck at a party where the only hors d’oeuvre is a vegetable plate and yogurt dip, you can offer a subtle hint by leaving the brochure next to the broccoli before you split for the Rib Shack.

Dessert lovers need not shrink in despair.

How about a giant BLT cake? It’s not made with the traditional ingredients, but it does look like the classic sandwich. The bacon is fashioned out of tootsie rolls, the tomatoes are made of red gummy bears and the mayo is plain white frosting. Sliced angel food cake substitutes for the bread. Don’t ask me about the lettuce. Trust me: do not ask me about the lettuce.

There are now bacon-of-the-month clubs: They deliver a different kind of bacon right to your door, along with recipes and ads for the latest bacon products like bacon rub, baconflavored envelopes and bacon-flavored lip balm.

I am now thinking of joining either Bacon Buddies or Pork Pals: both have five-star ratings.

I had been with a different group, but my wife didn’t like my getting emails from “The Strip Club.”

Yes, this craze is a sickness. Ironically, no one wants to be cured.

In any divorce case, there are two main categories of issues to be resolved prior to finalization: child-related issues and those related to the division of the martial estate. Under Indiana law (an absent a prenuptial agreement), the marital estate, or “marital pot,” is comprised of any and all assets and liabilities acquired prior to or during the marriage, whether through inheritance or gift. The date the parties file the Verified Petition for Dissolution of Marriage effectively “cuts off” what is included in the marital estate and; therefore, those items which are subject to division by the Court. Generally, assets or debts acquired by either spouse subsequent to the date of filing of the Verified Petition for Dissolution of Marriage are considered separate property of that individual.

Indiana law presumes that an equal (50%/50%) division of the marital estate is fair and equitable. In order to determine the overall estate, each litigant and/or their counsel, must perform due diligence to determine (1) what compromises the marital estate and (2) the values of each asset/liability therein. A majority of assets and liabilities are valued on the date of filing of the Verified Petition for Dissolution of Marriage. Therefore, the marital estate will be a “snapshot” of what existed on that day and the values on that same day.

The Court and the parties have discretion, however, to value certain assets as of the date of distribution. Most often, Courts will choose to value assets which fluctuate due to market changes at the time of distribution to either party, less any post date-of-filing contributions made by the account holder, to allow both parties to equally share in those gains or losses of any such accounts during the pendency of the divorce.

In determining the value of real property, the parties may use appraisals, property tax assessments, and comparative market analyses to agree upon a value for the marital residence and/or additional properties. Courts place most weight on the values put forth in formal appraisals; thus, if parties are unable to agree upon the value of real property – Courts can often be confronted with competing appraisals and expert testimony from the appraiser.

Alternatively, in the event parties agree to list a piece of property for sale, they may agree that whatever proceeds actually received are to be equally divided between the two spouses.

The latter approach allows for the divorcing parties to finalize the divorce without having to await the sale of their house.

Either party may request, however, a deviation from the presumed 50%/50% division in his or her favor which the Court may grant, if the Court deems the request appropriate after considering evidence presented and the statutory factors allowing for such deviations. Litigants would be well advised to seek the advice of counsel in determining how to best proceed with such requests.

FROGZ aimed at young families

By Dawn Pearson • editorial@youarecurrent.com Spring will certainly look good after the winter Mother Nature whipped up for us. And leaping all over Carmel will be FROGZ. THeatre Frogs, frogs and more frogs - along with their friends the penguins - perform in this theatrical event that is making a name for Imago Theatre, creator of this “hoppy” adventure.

“This is a family show designed with a lot of illusion and imagination, really geared for youth three years old and up,” said John Hughey, director of external relations at the Center for the Performing Arts. “This show becomes a big playground where frogs and penguins play together.

It’s in our small theater and there will be audience participation.”

Hughey said FROGZ is like a Cirque du Soleil show that will introduce children to mime, acrobatics, and dance.

“There are wild costumes and all original music. The frogs and penguins take on human characteristics,” Hughley said. “There is a lot of audience participation, too, with oversized beach balls and giant slinkies that become part of the act. So families will enjoy this together in a small intimate theater.”

“Imago has been creating transformative theatre that crosses boundaries traditionally associated with language, age and the physical realm,” said Carol Triffle and Jerry Mouawad, the artistic

Come find love in ‘Philadelphia’ with CCP

By Terri Spilman • editorial@youarecurrent.com

The Carmel Community Players continue their 20th Anniversary Season of Restoration Celebration by presenting the romantic THeatre comedy classic, Philip Barry’s “The Philadelphia Story,” March 6 through March 16 in the Carmel Community Playhouse at Clay Terrace Mall.

The play’s cast is very seasoned as some actors have film, TV and Broadway theater experience in addition to the many who have appeared in several local productions.

In the movie version of “The Philadelphia Story,” Katharine Hepburn’s character, Tracy Lord, is a headstrong, spoiled daughter from a well-todo family in Philadelphia torn between her dashing ex-husband, played by Cary Grant, charming society magazine reporter Jimmy Stewart and her fiancée.

The play’s director, Lori Raffel, said the stage production is very similar to the movie with some exceptions – there are a few character changes and the location is limited to the Lords’ house outside Philadelphia.

“The play was written by Philip Barry specifically for Katharine Hepburn to star in on stage.

Her last several movies had tanked and producers were losing faith in her ability to draw an audience,” Raffel said. “Katharine herself put up 35 percent of the money to produce the play on Broadway, and it paid off - it was a huge hit. She

and the playwright always had in mind to make the play into a movie - and that was a big success as well.”

“Above all else, The Philadelphia Story is about love, relationships and family. It’s one of the most successful American comedies every produced,” Raffel said. “I wanted to direct it because I love the time period - the 1940’s - and I love the central character - Tracy. She is strong, stubborn,

flawed and fearless - which makes for a great play.”

“The Philadelphia Story” • Performance are 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays; 2:30 p.m. on Sundays • Carmel Community Playhouse at Clay Terrace Mall • Tickets are $15 for adults; $12 for seniors and students • For more information visit www.carmelplayers.org.

With a stroke of luck and perhaps a little fate, John Dompier joined the Wings Etc. family as the new owner of the Noblesville business location. After several years of experience as the owner of Hubler Express Collision at its five Indianapolis locations, his path crossed with the company, a friendship was struck, and a new business was born.

Dompier is excited to announce the opening of this new location at 135 Sheridan Rd. on March 4, with the help of his staff, including general manager Michele Dick, and assistant manager Jessica Hood.

“It’s in a great location and I expect we will have a great lunch and dinner rush. There is nothing else like in this area,” Dompier said.

As the name suggests, there is more than just wings on the menu at this family oriented restaurant. Wings Etc. is not only known for its 17year streak for best wings in Indiana, but other features on the menu including burgers, salads, wraps, chicken, flat bread pizzas, and the famous “Home Wrecker Hotdog.”

Net investment gains for the fourth quarter of 2013, which include both realized and unrealized gains in the company’s limited partnership investments, were $4.6 million after tax, or $.30 per share, compared to net investment gains of $0.2 million, or $.01per share, in the same quarter of 2012.

Minimum wage correlation - In the restaurant industry, some chains have already prepared to boost menu prices in response to minimum-wage changes. At the national level, Congress and President Obama continue to grapple with increasing the federal minimum wage; and changes at the state level could bring similar hikes at eateries across the country. Restaurants are a large low-wage employer, and industry executives have grumbled that wage increases - combined with additional costs resulting from Obamacare - are driving up the price of doing business. To maintain profits, a number of chains have recently announced plans to partially offset the increases by passing them to consumers. SOURCE: Bloomberg Businessweek

Metaphors versus idioms

Commentary by Jordan Fischer

Question: “A friend said to me that he was ‘under the weather, metaphorically speaking.’ I didn’t want to correct him, since he was sick, but I don’t think that’s right.

GRAMMAR GUY Was that a metaphor, or was it actually an idiom?”

Great question! You are correct. Hopefully your friend is feeling better by the time you come around again to offer him some wisdom.

Metaphors and idioms are often mistaken for one another in speech in just the manner you’ve illustrated. In fact, “speaking metaphorically” is often mistakenly used when people actually mean they are “speaking figuratively.” Staying on subject, though: What is the difference between a metaphor and an idiom?

A metaphor is a rhetorical figure of speech found under the umbrella of analogy. A metaphor is formed by stating that one thing “A” is another thing “B.” Shakespeare famously used metaphors to great effect – and so for an example, we’ll turn to the Bard: “But soft! What light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.”

We understand that Juliet is not, in fact, the sun. But to our teenage heartthrob Romeo, she seems a bright, incandescent, almost life-giving figure appearing at the window as the sun at

dawn. How romantic.

An idiom, by contrast, is an expression with a figurative meaning that doesn’t correspond with its literal meaning. Idioms are understood intuitively by native speakers, but can be very difficult for someone learning the language. Examples of idioms in English include “couch potato,” “hit the road,” “spill the beans” and “under the weather.”

Some idioms, like the phrase “Achilles’ heel,” are also metaphors, but the two are not inherently related like metaphors and similes are.

A great and simple method of determining whether a phrase is an idiom or a metaphor is to ask whether it is directly comparing two things.

“In the middle of June, the blacktop was lava” is a metaphor – it directly compares very hot asphalt to lava. “To pull someone’s leg” is an idiom – we understand it figuratively to mean to tease or joke, and it fails to be a metaphor because it makes no comparison.

Just keep comparisons in mind, and you’ll be able to distinguish metaphors and idioms at the drop of a hat.

During 1492, the Alhambra in Grenada, Spain, was at the center of events that literally changed the direction of human history. Today the Alhambra is the finest example travel of Islamic architecture in Europe.

Grenada was founded in the eleventh century by successors of Muslims who had captured most of what is now Spain from the Visigoths in 711. By 1248, Christian forces had recaptured all major Spanish cities except Granada. Grenada, whose Muslim rulers welcomed its Jewish residents, became one of the most important cities in Europe. In the fourteenth century, Grenada’s Nasrid rulers completed the Alhambra on a hill overlooking the city as a combined fortress and palace. The main courtyard surrounded a circle of twelve marble lions, representing the twelve tribes of Israel, carved by Jewish craftsmen. The palace included an imposing Hall of Ambassadors, where the Sultan of Granada received visitors.

On January 2, 1492, the Sultan surrendered the Alhambra to the superior forces of Ferdinand II and Isabella I, the “Catholic Kings” whose marriage had united two Spanish kingdoms. Isabella immediately occupied the chair in the Hall of

Ambassadors, reportedly receiving Christopher Columbus. Columbus, who had seen Granada fall, pitched anew his plan to sail west and convert the Muslims of India to Christianity.

The “Alhambra Decree,” issued by Ferdinand and Isabella on March 31, 1492, ordered all Jews to leave Spain within four months unless they converted to Christianity. On April 17, Ferdinand and Isabella commissioned Columbus to sail to India and he left Granada on May 12. By July 31, up to 800,000 Jewish residents had fled Spain to avoid execution without trial. On October 12, 1492, Columbus, who may have been secretly Jewish, encountered the lands of the “New World” he insisted to his death were part of India.

In April 1992, five hundred years after the Alhambra Decree, Spanish King Juan Carlos, wearing a yarmulke, welcomed descendants of the expelled “Sephardic” (Spanish) Jews back to Spain, where they can now become citizens. The Alhambra, witness to the best and the worst of Spanish history, has become one of Spain’s most popular sites.

The remodel: Space planning improves master bath

Commentary by Larry Greene

EXISTING BATHROOM: The owner of this home in the Admirals Landing subdivision at Geist had lived with his master bathroom blueprint for for almost 20 years. “The improvement bathroom was old. Everything was black and white, the tiles needed regrouted and the faucets needed replaced. I wanted to change things and decided doing it piecemeal made no sense. So I decided to remodel the whole space.”

ELIMINATING LARGE TUB DECK: Eliminating wasted space was a goal for the project. “The master bath had a bad set up. The large tub deck under the window included wasted space on each end. I had two vanities but they were on opposite sides of the room and small.” The homeowner wanted to keep a tub in the space, and was hoping for a double vanity. The shower was well located and appropriately sized, therefore the new design did little to alter its footprint.

COORDINATING TILE & GRANITE: The owner wanted helping selecting the right materials. “I wanted granite countertops and tile in the shower and on the floors. My designer helped me narrow my choices so I ended up with what I liked.” The Colombian Sand floor tile was chosen to compliment the Alviana Noce shower wall tile. Maple cabinetry in a soft white color with a slate glaze contrasts the tropic brown granite countertops. Carrying the granite over to the tub deck, wall caps, shower seats, niche shelves and door sill provided a cohesive look.

before & after

RESULT: Removing the existing tub and decking left room for the new tub to be installed next to the shower. The shower was expanded slightly to provide a cohesive line between the shower and the tub. The opposite wall was filled with a large double vanity, greatly increasing the counter and storage space in the bathroom.

Although the overall footprint was not expanded, the room felt much more spacious with the reconfiguration.
