Community support is music to their ears

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

When Westfield High School Band Director Mark Sands began teaching in 1998, he had 28 students in his band. This year, Sands instructs 160 students and said other music proachievement grams like the choir have grown similarly.

“Getting the word out the music program exists is an important aspect,” he said.

In addition to performing classes, WHS offers other music classes including history, theory and introduction.

“We worked really hard to get established,” Sands said. “It’s nice to have the hard work students put in recognized.”

To assist the bands, Mayor Andy Cook proclaimed March as “Music in Our Schools” month.

“Music and the other arts significantly enhance the morale and quality of the school environment and plays a significant role in preparing children for a productive role in our society,” Cook said.

“The City of Westfield proudly supports our many students and teachers who dedicate their time and talent to music performance and education and congratulate all for their extraordinary contributions to our community.”

Officials said the study of music contributes to young people’s development through heightened skills in listening, reading, self-expression and creativity. It also engages the youth in individual and group activities and provides a competitive edge for students.

“It’s very important to highlight the fact that as Westfield grows, every kid finds a niche, a goal and something they are passionate about,” WHS Principal Stacy McGuire said. “They develop a passion or a career and something they will do for a long time.”

One student who found her passion for music in sixth-grade is WHS senior Sara Barker, who plays the clarinet.

“We do find a niche in the school. It gives us as individuals an opportunity to find out who we are working through music,” she said, adding the proclamation was “well deserved.” “Students in high school and schools before strive to improve what they do.”

WHS senior Aaron Smith said the recognition from the city and school district is a huge accom-

plishment for the program.

“I really can’t imagine going through a school day without music,” he said. “I can’t imagine not having that release … Schools losing their music programs horrifies me.”

Smith began playing trumpet in sixth-grade and

switched to percussion in seventh. “(Music) is a good way to express yourself,” he said. “It is something that is constantly challenging.

There is always something new to work on and develop.”

The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies is the tale of a band of dwarves trying to reclaim their mountain kingdom from a dragon usurper ending with a massive war with the various races of Middle-earth squabbling over the spoils. Humble hobbit Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) is literally caught in the middle. The battle scenes are epic in scope, but the sweet story of a hobbit’s journey gets swallowed.

A who’s who of Hamilton County met on March 13 for the annual fundraiser breakfast for Janus Developmental Services.

Janus Developmental Philanthropy Services provides people with disabilities the opportunity to participate and contribute through the community through programs that help them find jobs, develop skills and thrive in the world.

The four honorary co-chairs for the fundraiser were mayors Jim Brainard of Carmel, Noblesville’s John Ditslear, Andy Cook of Westfield and Fishers’ Scott Fadness. In all, around 400 people filled the 502 E. Event Centre, a new banquet hall where The Fountains used to be located.

The breakfast put a spotlight on all of the great things that Janus does, including helping find jobs for people with disabilities in Hamilton County. The nonprofit has partnered with 40 local area businesses.

Megan Varnaud, 47, a 1998 graduate from Hamilton Heights High School, spoke about how Janus helped find her current job at the Monon Community Center, where she has worked for the past three years, cleaning exercise equipment for about 15 hours a week.

“I like my job a lot and I make more than the minimum wage and just like you I pay taxes,” she said.

Other services offered by Janus include the Hamilton County Express, a public transit system that is scheduled on a first call basis to help people commute within the county.

Debbie Laird, director of development and transportation services at Janus, said there’s been a 63 percent cut in government funding, so it’s even more important to fundraise for their nonprofit.

“Raising funds helps us keep these programs going,” she said.

To find out how you can get involved with Janus, contact the development department at 773-8781, ext. 112.

Robert Shwe has a laugh with fellow Standard Locknut employee Eric Walsh after his shift ended.

(Photo by Robert Herrington)

american dream Burma refugee Robert Shwe is proud of his new citizenship

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Indiana’s climate is just one of the few things different than Robert Shwe’s home place of Burma.

“Every day for me is cover story cold,” Shwe said.

The security and comfort he now has is another. Shwe, 40, has a stable job at a company he loves working for and recently became an American citizen.

“I obey the laws and respect everybody. I love America,” he said. “I’m proud to be myself.”

Shwe is training to be a machinist at Standard Locknut, LLC., 1045 E. 169th St., Westfield. Last year, he was nominated as one of the company’s rising star employees.

“I love the machine,” said Shwe. “Everyone is very friendly. I like it so much.”

The path to Westfield was not an easy one for Shwe.

Shwe said he had unstable jobs working at a grocery store and playing soccer in Burma. When the ongoing civil war became worse, Shwe left his mother and sister and decided to go “underground,” illegally to make his way out of the country. Shwe said it was dangerous because he didn’t have a passport and if caught he would be returned to the government to settle his punishment for attempting to leave.

“Most of the people in the country were no

good. That time was quite bad,” he said.

Going through the mountains, Shwe made his way to Thailand and then Malaysia where he spent 10 years of his life. To make a living, Shwe worked as a welder in construction before a family took him in as a butler and to assist with child care.

“The American government and United Nations worked together and brought me up,” he said.

After being designated a refugee, Shwe was flown to Buffalo where he spent a couple of months before relocating to Indianapolis. Shwe said he had a friend here and moved to Indiana

four years ago.

“The first time I went downtown (Indianapolis) I got lost,” he said. “People are not greedy or fussy. Everything is good for me.”

Shwe began working at Standard Locknut on May 23, 2011.

“During our interview we fell in love with him.

He always has a smile on his face. You never see him in a bad mood,” said Jean Vanata, Standard Locknut human resources manager. “He appreciates it because we provided him the opportunity to learn a skill set. We knew his desire to work hard and he has not proved us wrong. He’s just

an amazing, great guy.”

When studying for his citizenship test, Shwe said he like learning about the country’s history and presidents.

“There are a lot of opportunities for me, a lot of human rights here,” he said. “Whatever you want to do, inside the law, you can do.”

To celebrate his citizenship, fellow employee members formed a tunnel at the end of his shift and waved USA flags as Shwe walked down the aisle to the song “Proud to be an American.”

Afterwards, Shwe was given an American flag cake.

“Big six-foot grown men were standing there and waving flags like a kid at the Fourth of July parade. That speaks volumes,” Vanata said.

Shwe also gave a brief speech of his appreciation.

“I was really, really excited and happy,” he said. “I don’t know how to say thank you to my Standard Locknut family. I felt like an Oscar winner holding the statue.”

Shwe said he eats rice and curry every day and can find his cooking materials at Asian markets or grocery stores. When he is not working third-shift at Standard Locknut, Shwe said he enjoys playing guitar in his house, fishing and being outdoors.

“I was a very good soccer player in my country,” he said. “I wish I could have come to America 10 years earlier to study.”

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Sever government’s lengthening arm Our friends at Human Events sent a missive last week about the long arm of government getting longer. This time, the National Labor Relations Board on April 14 would like to make a law that businesses must provide employees’ phone numbers and personal email addresses.

Who’s telling the jokes? The U.S. Senate already has defeated the measure, and this week the U.S. House of Representatives is going to vote on a Congressional Review Act resolution that the Senate has already passed to tell the NLRB to stop using government power to benefit union bosses. Last we heard, doling out workers’ personal contact information is a desecration of basic privacy entitlements and will inevitably lead to workers being targeted for harassment at the hands of union leadership. As your fellow Americans did with respect to the Senate vote, you should tell your House representative that you want privacy protected by sending a virtual “Do Not Disturb” letter at http://friends.channeldemocracy.com. And, as Human Events noted: Unlike the government’s proposal, this letter is voluntary.

••• Last week, one of our managing editors, Robert Herrington, hit the nail squarely on the head, when he penned a column taking “nearly invisible” candidates to task. We’ll parrot here what he proffered. The act of public service is serious business, just as is running for public office. Many candidates have declared for the primary election, and some of them even attend public meetings, like those of councils and boards. Some. Others are content to just hit the trail. It seems to us that if one wants to serve, he or she should make it a point to attend and grasp the goings-on of such panels.

Knowing the issues, challenges and opportunities and fully understanding them are separate animals. Ask your candidates (unless they already serve): Do you attend the meetings, and what have you gleaned from them? Then listen carefully. It will help you cast an informed vote on May 5. You are going to vote, correct?

A big week

Commentary by Terry Anker

It has been a big week. They all are; but, this one seems especially packed, back-to-back, with all the things that keep the adrenalin pumping. Life has a way of reminding us that it is in charge.

In Singapore on business, Carolyn, my bride of almost a quarter century now, emailed to let me know that her Mom, self-sustaining and independent into her 90’s, needed to move from the condo, where she’d lived the whole of the 10 years since her husband of 55 years had passed, into a place where greater care could be given her – at least for a little while. So, Carolyn and the boys made the trip to north suburban Chicago to visit and check the transition.

The very next day, I returned to the US and my family found its way home for our reuniting. Our oldest has discovered that competitive college ultimate Frisbee can be a dangerous contact sport. His surgery to repair the shoulder damage incurred a week or so back was scheduled; and

we wanted him to be home, rested, and ready to go.

Work, delayed by inattention, piles up. Laundry, delayed by inattention, piles up, too. But with a bit of triage and good luck, we hit the necessary, review the less pressing, and hold-on to the rest. Life is unimpressed with our project management skills. Word came that Carolyn’s Mom died a little more than a day after the visit. While unwelcomed, the news was not unanticipated.

So, we’ve planned arrangements. We helped our boy through his surgery (all went as hoped).

We worked a little (I even wrote a column). We managed to wash a few delicates. And, it’s only Wednesday. Maybe the best thing to do when life overflows is to let it. Could we stop it if we tried and would it really matter?

Q U O T E O F T HE W EE K “Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint on it you can.”

-Danny Kaye

How would you react if your son caught the winning TD pass in the Super Bowl? Would you cheer? Cry? Twerk? I did all three when my extremely constipated 4-month-old son finally managed to “pass his own football” after an hour of straining and screaming. Honestly, I couldn’t have been prouder! The next morning, our momentary trauma long-forgotten, I vowed to add juice to his diet, and that was that.

Then, five years later and still constipationignorant, I found myself at a Promptcare with an obscenely hot physician, trying to explain how, even with laxatives and a children’s enema, my infant daughter couldn’t go. I watched in horror as he nonchalantly “extracted” the blockage with a Q-tip and then lectured me on the importance of dietary fiber. Not my finest parenting moment, to be sure.

Now, thanks to another child, I’m finally an expert on children’s constipation. He’s had it so bad that we’ve been seeing a pediatric G.I. for more than two years. Part of his problem is his diet, which rarely sees a fruit or a vegetable, but the other part is just his body. His intestinal tract hasn’t matured enough yet to process foods properly. There’s nothing I can do for his genetics, which I blame entirely on my husband, but I can address what he eats.

Unfortunately, that’s a lot easier said than done. After all, he can’t down 12 espressos to stimulate his bowels, and Mueslix just tastes nasty.

Our main course of action has been Miralax, which is exactly as the name implies, a miracle laxative. The beauty is it’s “tasteless, odorless, and dissolves instantly in liquid,” so I can sneak it in hot chocolate fairly easily.

Next up are the fiber supplements. Two candy-like tablets a day plus Benefiber sprinkled on and in anything he eats. We’ve also switched out Wonder Bread for its brilliant imposter, whole-grain white, and changed to iron-free vitamins. As for the MIA fruits and veggies, he’s only come on board with canned pears and peeled apples, neither of which provide much fiber, but it’s a start.

Hypothetically, we should be able to wean him off all this subversive counter-constipation “crap” any time now, but on the few occasions when we’ve forgotten to administer his “meds” for several days, he’s reverted right back to a strung-out 6 year old, red-faced and crying on the toilet. According to his doctor though, he’s a healthy normal little boy who may just have to deal with a laxative addiction. And I’m okay with that, as long as he says “Hi Mom!” while holding the Lombardi trophy. Poop out! Please!

Policing humor one show at a time Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I like TV shows about crime, but over the years I have found that there are number of recurrent themes in these law enforcement programs that drive me humor crazy. Here are a few examples: KNOCKING ON A CRIMINAL’S DOOR: When a cop knocks on a suspect’s door, he is always home.

Don’t bad guys ever go to a flick or to the 7-11? Or out for an afternoon heist? Usually it’s the suspect’s old lady (the preferrred gangster term for wife or girlfriend) who answers the door. She tells the cops he’s not there while he is sneaking out the back window and will quickly be tackled in an alley. Let’s put a few officers in blue at those back windows. I know Cagney and Lacey are looking for work.

THE BARTENDER: Cops constantly show bartenders pictures of customers who might be guilty of a crime. The bartender shrugs and claims he doesn’t recognize the person, so Mr. Policeman threatens to report that his beer glasses are dirty. All of a sudden, a brainstorm: “Yeah, she was in here three weeks ago Tuesday wearing a yellow blouse and tight blue skirt with a man about 20 years older than her with gray hair who had on a three-piece suit and a tattoo on his neck.” Don’t underestimate the power of the Board of Health.

PARTNERS: Every male cop on TV has a female partner who is beautiful. I mean really, really beautiful. This wouldn’t seem to be the type of profession to attract such a stunning beauty. Why would a woman like that want to investigate a murder? Did you just say “because she’s drop-dead gorgeous?” STOP, you’re killing me!

SWAT TEAMS: When a SWAT team goes into some dan-

gerous situation, everyone is wearing bullet-proof vests and crash helmets, and carrying a protective shield—except the stars of the show, who sport a nice sweater vest and cap that says FBI or NYPD. It might as well say: “I’M A CELEBRITY: DON’T SHOOT ME.” VIDEO CAMERAS: Perps need to realize that video cameras are everywhere: hotel hallways, street corners, bathrooms, warehouse parking lots. And yet, you never see anyone wearing a mask on television. The Lone Ranger and Lady Gaga don’t count. I’m only talking about bad guys.

ARREST: A man has just been apprehended for a felony.

The police have wrestled him to the ground and beaten the stuffing out of him, but now they are concerned he may bump his fragile little head on the car door frame when they stuff him in the vehicle. They didn’t care that much when they kicked him during the arrest.

HOTEL DOORS: Cops break into hotel rooms by simply batting their shoulders into the door. Sorry, that can’t be done. No way. Oh, you’re holing up at Motel 6? Never mind.

Finally, when a murderer throws someone out a window, the victim always lands on a car hood, never the street. With alternate side of the street parking, the odds are you’re going hit the pavement half the time.

Well, I gotta go. Someone is banging on the front door. I hope my old lady left the back window open.

Industrial park eyes development

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com A group of local investors is looking to transform 7 .1 acres of industrial area into a mixed use commercial development construction near U.S. 31. Officials said the project is expected to produce $35 to $45 million of assessed value to Westfield on top of multiple job opportunities.

On March 9, the Gateway Southwest district was presented to the Westfield City Council.

Randy Zentz of Westfield Community Land Investors said the property consists of five parcels that include a grain elevator and farm store.

“It’s not the highest or best use for the area,” he said. “We plan a water feature at the front of the property, which is already below grade and can work as a retention area. Our focus also works on the whole property being a pedestrian friendly area with trails that will eventually connect with the Monon and in turn connect to Grand Park.”

The 7.1 acres will include four buildings.

“Access from (Ind.) 32 has been removed. We need destination products to attract visitors,” Zentz said.

Zentz said the group is in discussions with

multiple hotel brands and developers but the plan is to build a four- to five-story building with 100-110 rooms. Zentz said a minimum three-story building with 14,000 square feet is proposed as part of the plans.

Zentz said the 10,000 square-foot, three-story mixed-use office building will contain a variety of users including medical offices and professional services. The other two buildings include an 8,000 square-foot general business building and a 9,000 square-foot, single-story restaurant.

“We are working with several different users for this location,” Zentz said. “We are hoping for possibly breakfast, lunch and dinner but definitely lunch/dinner type of sit-down quality restaurant for that location.”

City councilor Cindy Spoljaric expressed concern about the hotel’s size not being large enough.

“We envisioned a large hotel/conference center use for that parcel,” she said. “This isn’t what we were looking for.”

The project now heads to the city’s advisory plan commission for review and a public hearing on April 6. It is expected to return to the city council on May 11.

Most people know diabetes can cause blindness, but did you know that smoking can? Did you know that sun exposure in the vision off-peak hours can be more harmful to vision than that of peak hours?

Did you know that high cholesterol and hypertension can also cause blindness?

There are many eye diseases which used to be only related to age like cataracts, and macular degeneration. But due to many of the lifestyle choices that we make, we are seeing these and other eye diseases earlier.

Smoking is probably the most surprising to patients. There is a large correlation between smoking and cataracts and macular degeneration, and because smoking raises your risk for cardiovascular disease, strokes in the eye can cause blindness. The more you smoke the higher the risk. Smoking also increases the risk of serious vision loss in someone who already has other eye diseases. But the good news is that after you quit smoking, the risk becomes almost as low as for those who never smoked.

We all know to avoid direct sun exposure, especially during the peak hours of the day.

However, reflected sun rays are the ones that

I’m sure most of you are pretty tired of the “alphabet soup” coming from the government about healthcare: PPACA, Patient care ACA, HIP 2.0 and the like.

I have one more for you: ACO, also known as Accountable Care Organization. Simply put, an ACO works toward the socalled triple aim: • Better care for patients • Better health for our community • Lower total cost of care.

Several local health care organizations, including Riverview Health, have recently become part of an ACO to better serve those who are 65 and older and are covered by traditional Medicare.

For most people, the impact will be minimal.

You’ll still be able to see your own physician.

You’ll still be entitled to all of your Medicare benefits. You’ll be encouraged to obtain your annual wellness exam and, from there, you’ll be encouraged to take part in all of the preventive care services—such as mammograms, colon examinations and diabetes management—that Medicare provides. By filling in these “gaps in care” and

better aligning your overall health care, we hope to achieve the triple aim.

Initially, ACOs will focus most of their attention on those who are at higher risk for illnesses than others. This increased focus includes hiring care coordinators who’ll work alongside physicians to better customize care for people who are part of the ACO. This also includes help in simplifying medication treatment and use of generic drugs, as well as making prescription fills easier. All of which is done at the direction of the individual’s personal physician.

For those of you who’ve received your ACO letter, you do not need to do anything else. For those of you who choose not to participate in the data-sharing portion of the program, you have instructions on how to “opt out.” We’re excited to participate with patients and other health care organizations on this newest initiative as we work to improve your care.

can do a lot of harm. And because the sun is at a lower point in the sky during off-peak hours, we get more reflected light into the eye during that time. UV rays from the sun are very damaging in and around the eye and can cause macular degeneration, cataracts, dry eye and even cancer in and around the eye.

And lastly, many systemic diseases like diabetes, hypertension and high cholesterol are all vascular diseases which affect the tiny vasculature in the eyes. With diabetes the blood vessels become leaky and we see a lot of bleeding in the eyes. With cardiovascular diseases you can have a blockage, which can cause a stroke inside the eye, leading to vision loss.

We cannot control our genetics but we can control our lifestyle choices. It’s important to eat well, exercise, stop smoking and wear protective coverings. It is equally important to have your annual eye examination since most eye diseases do not present symptoms until it’s too late.

I think we’re on to something…

Commentary by Jordan Fischer Question: “Dear Grammar Guy, please help me! I’ve got a new co-worker at the office who is a real stickler for gramgrammar guy mar rules. I’m pretty sure he even posted an anonymous correction to a company-wide memo once in the break room. Today he sent me an e-mail basically telling me I’m an idiot because I used ‘onto’ wrong. Can you straighten me out?”

Answer: Yeesh … that guy sounds like a real peach. Even I would never call someone out to the whole company’s e-mail list.

(Side note: I was going to say “the whole company’s listserv,” but apparently that’s a trademarked word with a capital ‘L.’ Who knew?)

There are three prepositions you need to master here: “on,” “onto” and “on to.” “On” and “onto” are both used to refer to a position in relation to a concrete noun. “On to,” which we’ll talk about last, can be a bit more abstract.

To start simple, “on” is used as “a function word to indicate position in contact with and

supported by the top surface of” something. You can sit on a chair. A cup can rest on a table. Your cat can lie on your keyboard.

“Onto” is used to indicate movement to a position on an object. “Onto” is an action preposition, if there were such a thing. You walk onto a stage. You fall onto your bed. Your cat leaps onto your face. You get the picture.

“On to” is used abstractly to indicate progress toward something, e.g. “moving on to bigger and better things.” “On to” is not used with concrete nouns.

To summarize, you need to tell your co-worker to stop getting on your case. Tell him you’re onto him and his shenanigans, and that he needs to move on to a new hobby. And then pat yourself on the back for how clever that was.

Visit where Jesus wept

Commentary by Don Knebel

On the day Christians remember as the first Palm Sunday, Jesus rode a donkey down the Mount of Olives from Bethpage to travel Jerusalem. All four Gospels report that Jewish followers acknowledged him as their Messiah by strewing branches (or coats) in his path, an event memorialized in a church near where the so-called “triumphal journey” began. Another church about halfway down the hill honors a less-well-known event during Jesus’ ride. Its construction unearthed some tantalizing suggestions about his earliest followers.

Jesus’ ride to Jerusalem followed a narrow road heading west toward the Kidron Valley that lies between the Mount of Olives and the eastern wall of the Temple Mount. According to the Gospel of Luke, as Jesus neared Jerusalem and saw the gleaming temple, he wept as he contemplated the city’s impending siege and destruction. In 70 A.D., as he reportedly predicted, Roman soldiers demolished the temple following a long and deadly siege of Jerusalem.

Because the Gospel of Luke was written after the destruction of the temple, many Biblical scholars believe hindsight played a role in the report of Jesus’ prophetic weeping. The Crusad-

ers who conquered Jerusalem in 1099 were not so skeptical. Desiring to plant a church wherever they could identify a Biblical tradition, Crusaders built a church where they believed Jesus had wept for the city. The church became a mosque when Saladin recaptured Jerusalem in 1187 and later fell into ruins. In the 1950s, the Franciscans built a church known as “Dominus Flevit” (the Lord Wept) near the site of the original Crusader church. The small church, in the form of a teardrop, honors Luke’s story of Jesus’ weeping. An arched window beside a “crown of thorns bush” provides a spectacular view of the Temple Mount and the Dome of the Rock now atop it.

During construction of Dominus Flevit, workers uncovered small stone boxes called “ossuaries” first century Jews used to store the bones of their dead. A few ossuaries include what some believe are Christian markings, perhaps indicating that people who welcomed Jesus on the first Palm Sunday may have chosen to rest forever along his path.

Subway tile trends for 2015

Commentary by David Decker

For generations, homeowners have been adding New York City modernist style to their kitchens and bathrooms by installing indoors subway tiles. These rectangular shaped tiles are excellent for creating a current, contemporary look that still feels very timeless. In 2015, subway tiles are being used in everything from backsplash designs to flooring and much more.

The subway tile design first debuted in the New York City underground subway system back in the early 1900s. The sleek, contemporary design quickly caught on with the general public, and soon the entire country was decorating kitchens and bathrooms with 3- by 6-inch, rectangular “subway” tiles. Over 100 years have passed since those first tiles were laid, and subway tiles remain as popular as ever. Ceramic is still the most popular material for the tiles to be crafted from, because it is easy to clean and maintain. However, subway tiles can be found in almost every color, texture and finish imaginable.

The two most popular places where homeowners install subway tiles are in the kitchen and bathroom. But they’ve made the leap into other spaces that benefit from easy-care surfaces such as laundry rooms, basements and fireplace surrounds. Visually, the shape of the tile tends to draw the eye upward, which makes the space seem wider and the ceilings appear higher. This is especially true for the larger-sized subway tiles. In terms of maintenance, ceramic subway tiles are tough enough to withstand heavy usage for decades. Simply clean the ceramic tiles with mild, nonabrasive soap to keep them looking shiny and new.

In 2015, a few subway tile trends to look out for center on tile placement, color selection, and grout choice. Shifting the direction of the tiles

can radically alter the look you are creating.

Many homeowners are choosing to install subway tiles vertically, instead of horizontally, which makes the ceiling look higher than it actually is.

This trend is being utilized in shower surrounds and bathrooms so that small spaces feel a little more luxurious. You can even use subway tiles to create distinctive border or frame patterns as well. Subway tiles are an excellent way to throw in a pop of color that won’t overwhelm the space. Popular colors this season include solid black, and bold primary colors such as Mediterranean blue, deep scarlet or mustard yellow. Use these in your kitchen or vanity backsplash to contrast with a more traditional cabinetry design for a contemporary look. And once a color choice has been selected, choosing a grout color that contrasts with the design is one way of putting a 2015 spin on the subway tile.

What to ask them before hiring Commentary by Bob Wasson

The time of year when homeowners take a closer look at their yards and begin to imagine the possibilities at hand. After Landscaping 38 years of helping families make their property more beautiful, and more functional, I’ve learned that you can help identify qualified landscaping professionals by answering five questions: Would you drive his or her truck? Landscape architecture is about attention to detail and aesthetics. These qualities ought to be evident in every aspect of your landscaper’s business – including the appearance of its vehicles.

How many employees does the company have? Is the company a one-person operation or is it comprised of a team of landscaping professionals that can complete a project in a few hours instead of taking several days?

How long has the company been in the landscaping business? Experience is impor-

tant. You don’t want to pay someone to learn how to landscape by practicing – and making mistakes – in your yard.

Where do their plants and trees come from? Plants and trees grown in the southern part of the United States are often sold at big box stores and may be less expensive, but they also are far less suited to survive an Indiana winter.

Can the company give you credible references? Before you invest in an outdoor living space or new landscaping, be sure to ask for references.

Remember, landscaping is an investment, not an expense. Choose a reputable landscaper, and it’s one of the best investments in your home you could possibly make.
