By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com A special historical figure visited the Westfield Rotary Club at its June 25 luncheon at The Bridgewater Club. To lead into the Independence event Day holiday, the father of our country, George Washington, spoke to local Rotarians.

Portrayed by David Best, “Mr. President,” as he preferred to be called, was dressed in period costume and spoke in character. Washington socialized with members before the meeting and spoke for 30 minutes during the meeting.

Washington molonial Army. In all the battles in which he fought, before and during the American Revolution, he never shed a drop of blood. Best said his uniform and hat had bullet holes through them, but he was never struck by a bullet.

Westfield Rotary Club President Bruce Watson said members learned many aspects of Washington’s life.

“We learned that he really did not want to be the first president, but was cajoled by his provincial associates to place his name in nomination,” said Watson. “Of course, we know the outcome of the election; he won overwhelmingly.”

Best told the group Washington just wanted to be a farmer like his good friend, Thomas Jefferson.

The first presidential residence was in New York City and when Washington arrived, he was greeted by throngs of people inside and out of his new home.

“Everyone wanted to speak with the new president, or to just be in his presence. He couldn’t get anything done,” Watson said. “As a result, he established a policy that he would only meet with the public for one hour on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons.”

Washington was convinced to run for a second term, and of course won again.

However, when he was urged to run for a third term he refused, believing that if he was elected again, people might start calling him King George.

Best said when Washington’s term was finished he retired to Mt. Vernon and spent the rest of his days doing what he loved – farming.

DVD review

Columnist Christopher Lloyd warns readers that “6 Souls” is more interesting to ponder as a cinematic failure than as an actual movie. Despite starring some very talented performers, including Julianne Moore and Jonathan Rhys Meyers, what’s supposed to be scary instead comes across as incredibly goofy – and tiresome.

The Fourth of July is fast approaching and this means fireworks. Lots of them.

However, columnist Mike Redmond’s love for fireworks is waning as obnoxious neighbors are lighting them off at the wrong times and place – too close to his house, too late at night.

Storm causes $250k in damages

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

Westfield firefighters saved two homes after storms rolled through the city on June 23.

Around 5 p.m., WFD Spokesman Jon Barrett said the family at 16127 Etna Green was sitting at home when they heard a loud climate bang. At first, Barrett said they thought the sound was nothing more than nearby thunder from the passing storm. Soon after, the family smelled smoke while a neighbor was banging on their front door. They quickly left the house and dialed 911.

“Within a few minutes, Westfield firefighters arrived with flames shooting through the entire roof and impinging on two nearby homes,” Barrett said.

Firefighters began extinguishing flames that were approaching two neighboring homes while extinguishing the roof fire. Due to the extreme danger from two separate wall collapses inside the home, firefighters fought the blaze from outside the home.

“Firefighters saved two homes tonight and made sure everyone was safe,” Barrett said.

“This is true testament to the tireless job they do every single day.”

Barrett said after the structure of the home was deemed safe, firefighters continued their battle inside the home.

“It took firefighters nearly an hour to gain full control of the fire. This fire was one of seven

Investigators determined the cause of the fire was a lightning strike to the home and damages were estimated at $250,000.

There were no injuries and WFD was assisted by firefighters from Carmel, Noblesville and Sheridan.

Fireworks become restricted

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com As families prepare their celebration plans, they will have to do so with Westfield’s new stricter fireworks restrictions in mind.

LAW In April, the Westfield City Council approved a new ordinance prohibiting fireworks within Westfield at all times and locations with the exception of the following: • Between the hours of 5 p.m. and two hours after sunset on Memorial Day weekend (Friday to Monday), June 29 and 30, and July 1 through 3 and July 5 through 9, and Labor Day weekend (Friday to Monday) • Between the hours of 10 a.m. and midnight on July 4 • Between the hours of 10 a.m. Dec. 31 and 1 a.m. Jan. 1 • Any other time and location duly authorized by the City of Westfield by permit to be obtained before the scheduled event The ordinance is not exclusive to noise makers.

“More house fires and personal injuries come from sparklers than anything else,” Council member Bob Smith said.

Previously, the police department was unsuccessful using the noise ordinance to handle complaints. Westfield Police Chief Joel Rush said this ordinance provides his officers with the ability to issue citations to city court.

“We didn’t have the ability to do that before.

Personal fireworks can only be set off on private property and at certain times and dates in Westfield. (Submitted photo)

There was nothing we could do,” he said.

According to the ordinance, “violations shall be punished by a fine of no more than $500 per incident as well as other penalty provided by the Westfield Code of Ordinances.”

While the burn ban last summer significantly reduced the number of complaints, Rush said summertime is when the police department receives the most calls from the public.

“More so when school starts,” he said. “It gets darker earlier, and kids are in bed.”

State to save $23M on U.S. 31 news@currentinwestfield.com The federal government will pay for a larger share of U.S. 31 improvements in Hamilton County, allowing the state construction to save $23 million. U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood approved increasing the federally funded share for the U.S. 31 Hamilton County Improvement Project to 90 percent from 80 percent on June 25.

The U.S. Transportation Dept. said the project is the first to benefit from a new provision in highway legislation that gives the agency discretion to increase the allowable federal match on eligible critical freight projects.

“Freight movement is critical to building a strong economy, and we support Indiana’s commitment to this very important project,” LaHood said. “New flexibilities in Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century will make it easier for all states to move important freight projects forward.”

The U.S. 31 project is part of a larger Indianapolis to South Bend corridor INDOT is rebuilding to handle increasing traffic, including more than 6,600 trucks using the corridor each day. The increased federal share will allow INDOT to use $207 million in federal dollars toward the total project cost of $230 million.

“The U.S. 31 project will relieve congestion and allow area residents to spend less time in traffic and more time doing what they enjoy, and it will

also reduce the time it takes to deliver merchandise,” Victor Mendez, administrator of the Federal Highway Administration, said. “It’s a win-win-win for residents, businesses and commerce.”

INDOT will upgrade U.S. 31 to interstate standards and convert it to a limited access freeway with entry and exit points only at certain interchanges to improve traffic flow. Work is underway upgrading U.S. 31 to interstate standards and widening it to six lanes between I-465 in Indianapolis and Ind. 38 north of Westfield.

One of the great aspects of Westfield Rocks the 4th is its location in Asa Bales Park.

“The setting makes it special,” Jones said. “Asa Bales Park is where all the festival and activities take place and there’s plenty of parking.”

Jones said the Westfield Intermediate and Middle schools are completely open for parking, as is the north side of Westfield High School.

While Hoover Street will be closed between Union Street and Shamrock Drive beginning at 8 a.m. Thursday, the surrounding streets and City Hall will be open.

“There’s lots of adjacent parking and four trail connections to Asa Bales Park,” she said. “The largest compliment we get is how quickly you can get out. There are so many access points.”

Jones said the car show awards begin at 8 p.m. and once done that area is open for residents.

“Those that come just for fireworks, these parking lots will be open back up probably around 8:30 p.m. for the public,” she said.

FROM THE BACKSHOP Everyone wins in Bloom contest

On par It is our position that honoring the service of fallen Marines through the establishment of academic scholarships in their names, is a noble commemoration of their sacrifice for the freedom of our country. The 2013 Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation Golf Tournament is scheduled for Sept. 12 at Pebble Brook Golf Club in Noblesville. Funds raised from the tournament will be used to establish a scholarship in the name of 2013 Honoree PFC Deryk Hallal, an Indianapolis native and graduate of North Central High School. Deryk was killed in action in Fallujah, Iraq, in 2004.

The scholarships are administered by the national office of the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation. This is the third year proceeds from the golf tournament have been used to establish a scholarship in the name of a fallen Marine. The 2012 Honoree was Sgt. Morgan Strader and the 2011 Honoree was Sgt. John Rankel. The long-term mission is to establish a perpetual scholarship in the name of each Marine from central Indiana that has been killed fighting in Iraq or Afghanistan since Sept.

11, 2001. Unfortunately, it will take many years to make that happen.

Aside from the dents, dings and scratches of a well-lived existence, it is beginning to exhibit indications of memory limitations and processing difficulties. While one could certainly take this analogy to refer to the aging process we humans endure, for now it is enough to paraphrase

famed psychotherapist Sigmund Freud in asserting that sometimes a phone is just a phone.

Replacing the device would be easy enough.

Cell phone stores are as ubiquitous on the strip center landscape as fast food restaurants. But I must admit, as my hair grays and my waistline expands I have become more inclined to replace what I have with another of exactly what I had before. Today, mine is a Windows phone. Certainly, Android and Apple are great products. But, I am settled. My young staff encourages me to stay ever current. And, I am pleased that they do. Is there a way to move ahead and stay the same? The shape, quirks and function are familiar to me. How do we throw out the bath water and make sure to keep the baby behind?

QUOTE OF THE WEEK Wanna write us a letter? You can do it a couple ways. The easiest is to e-mail it to info@currentinwestfield.com. The old-fashioned way is to snail mail it to Current in Westfield, 30 S. Range Line Road, Carmel, IN 46032. Keep letters to 200 words max (we may make exceptions), and be sure to include your home ZIP code and a daytime number for verification.

If you entered the Westfield in Bloom Floral Display Competition this year, congratulations. Regardless of whether you have been awarded (judging was to have ended June 30), we consider you a winner! We’re suckers for curb appeal and display of flora in general.

What you’ve done, award or not, is your share in helping to beautify your corner of the city.

Now in its fifth year (Can it be?), the competition steadily has grown in numbers and popularity. We view that as noteworthy. Let us put it this way: One of us has a residential neighbor that, regardless of being a fairly decent person, has let his yard backslide into a category that only Herman and Lilly Munster would enjoy. The noxious weeds are drifting across property lines, the shrubs are disgustingly misshapen and overgrown, and the lawn … er, weed patch … when it actually does get mowed, stirs up a dust storm more akin to what you would see in Oklahoma, for Pete’s sake! Pathetic is what it is; pride-less and careless, too. To think the homeowner in question refuses to do the bare minimum as “good neighbor” makes the blood pressure rise. Have one of us asked for rectification? Yes, he has.

Has his city of residence turned and looked the other way? Yes, it has. Is his homeowners’ association toothless? An implant dentist’s dream!

Now, with that beef in our wake, what Westfield in Bloom has done is give residents and merchants the opportunity to be prideful in their general gardening-and-presentation exploits if not the city itself. This year, the color of choice is purple, and there are interesting, eye-turning displays in front of a number of homes and businesses. You may visit www. westfield.in.gov, navigate to Westfield in Bloom and avail yourself of a mobile map that takes you to the entrants’ homes and businesses.

Enjoy!

READERS’ VIEWS Third party gives presidency to Clinton Editor, I am a Constitutional conservative, and as such, I am more than just a bit dismayed by the antics of the current Republican Party.

It seems the GOP has decided in order to win more elections, it must become Democrat-lite by compromising on immigration.

Constantly being told by the media, who, if anyone believes it has the best interest of the GOP at heart, I have some prime Brooklyn swampland for sale, it must move more to the center and nominate more moderate candidates.

Ask presidents McCain and Romney how they are enjoying their terms in the White House.

Hillary Clinton may be the next presidential nominee of the Democrats; and she may shake “the stain of Benghazi off her hands” (Current in

Westfield, 06/18/13), while showing the nation the newest line of pantsuits.

However, unless the GOP comes forth with a solid conservative, one that is principled and exciting, and not a RINO for the third election in a row, Clinton will surely assume the mantle of leadership on Jan. 20, 2017.

Brian Kelly and Steve Greenberg’s editorial asks “Again, a third party, please?”

As necessary as that is for true Constitutional conservatives, I will remember the Reagan 80-20 rule, that although I may not like a candidate on 20 percent of the issues, he or she will still get my vote for the other 80 percent. A third party will virtually guarantee a Clinton presidency should she seek it.

Shriners coming to Indy Editor, The Indianapolis area is in for some excitement, as 15,000 Shriners International members and their families fill up area hotels, event spaces and businesses for the international fraternity’s annual Imperial Session. This is the 139th year for this international convention. The session is a time for the Shriners to conduct

their annual meeting, name their new executive leader and celebrate with contests, parties and a parade. Shriners International is a fraternity focused on tradition, fun and philanthropy of Shriners Hospitals for Children. In 2012, more than 1,530 children from Indiana received treatment from the health care system.

Bored jar is ready for donations Commentary by Danielle Wilson

My prayer for summer: “Powers that Be, grant me the serenity to endure six more weeks of no school, courage to face the rainy humor days, and wisdom to know when to call the grandparents.” Yes, my friends, summer vacation is upon us, and this year I am more confident than ever that I will not only survive, but actually enjoy it. With the help of all the major religions’ deities and some very careful planning, you, too, can have a great summer!

Along that note, Doo and I held a family meeting in June where we hammered out the details for a homicide-free July. Our four children were invited to share their thoughts, and as expected, the biggest sticking point was about Xbox. Our boys argued that since it’s summer, they should be able to do whatever they want, including wasting weeks at a time sniping virtual zombies.

We felt it might lead to serial killer status. Decision? Two hours max a day. Tough, kids!

Another bone of contention was television.

Again, our two boys spearheaded the debate.

Essentially they felt that if they couldn’t watch at least a half-day’s worth of “Family Guy,” they would never know true happiness. We rebutted with something called a “book.” Bottom line?

One hour a day, plus they have to participate in the library’s reading program. I’ll certainly take the free ice cream and bouncy ball if they don’t

want them.

Also in the plan, the reinstatement of the “I’m bored” jar, a repository for the dollar fines handed out to anyone muttering any derivative of the word “boring.” Proceeds will go to an endof-summer Dairy Queen bonanza.

Once again, to further enhance this summer’s salt mine experience, “Amish day” will occur weekly. It was proposed unwittingly two years ago by our then 9-year-old son who, at the aforementioned decision to limit electronic interaction, cried, “I’m not going all Amish!” Should have kept your mouth shut Andrew, for you will indeed go Amish. No video games, computers, or television for one whole day. Our kids will be forced to use their imaginations and find old-fashioned forms of amusement. It may not work, but their discomfort should prove highly entertaining.

So, the chore chart is up and rockin’, and the Forced Family Game night schedule (“You will have fun, damn it!”) is in full swing. We’re keeping our fingers crossed that our careful planning will result in a blissful summer vacation. If not, I’m more than prepared to offer up ritualistic sacrifices to any god out there. They take children, right? Peace out.

A very bad oxidant

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

Ever since my wife retired she has a lot more time to read, including Prevention magazine, an annoying little publication that humor makes you worry about nearly every aspect of your life from the second you wake up in the morning.

The big topic in each month’s issue is antioxidants in our food, which the editors claim “shield us against free radicals that inflame our artery linings, turn normal cells cancerous, damage our eyesight, increase obesity and visibly age us.” When given a choice, I’d rather read Bride Magazine in the doctor’s office.

According to an article by Jo Robinson, excerpted from her book “Eat on the Wild Side,” prehistoric man had superior food, far richer in vitamins and minerals than modern-day fare.

Of course, those guys had a lifespan of only 22 years, which meant they never had to raise a teenager. I’d have thought that would add an extra 20 years, easily.

The writer is a bit obsessed with how corn has diminished in nutritional value during the millennia. She claims that corn is much too sweet nowadays. (Yeah, that’s a common complaint you hear at the farmer’s market.) The author instructs the reader on how not to cook corn, advising against “ripping off the husks, stripping the silk and putting the naked ears into the water.” This is the most erotic para-

graph ever to appear in Prevention.”

Other fruits and vegetables have also faltered. The writer claims there was once an apple that had 100 times the antioxidants that most fruit has today. Sadly, someone has already eaten that apple. This magazine has nothing but bad news.

Salad is the biggest loser in today’s world.

Robinson wants us to treat our leafy friends right. She recommends we pull the lettuce leaves apart, soak in water 20 minutes, and spin dry. Then place in a plastic bag with 20 evenly spaced pin pricks. This is more time than I spend with any of my current friends.

Oh, and there’s this: “Tearing lettuce leaves before storing them doubles the antioxidants because plants respond to ‘insults’ by producing bitter phytonutrients to fend off insects and animals.” If you think your head of lettuce was insulted when you tore its leaves, see how it feels when you spit it out.

When my wife finished this article, she was torn as to whether to believe every word. “I’m not saying I’m not anti- antioxidants, she told me. I have no idea what that sentence means, but I think four negatives make a positive.

County’s jobless rate lowest news@currentinwestfield.com

The Dept. of Workforce Development has reported that Indiana’s unemployment rate decreased to 8.3 percent in May, economy down from 8.5 percent a month earlier, as the state’s private sector added 9,000 jobs.

The agency said the increase in private sector jobs is the largest monthly increase in Indiana since February 2012. Growth occurred at twice the national average for the month (0.4 percent vs. 0.2 percent). Commissioner Scott Sander said private sector employment in the Hoosier State is now at pre-recession levels not seen since July 2008.

Area United States May 2013 May 2012 Indiana May 2013 May 2012 Hamilton Co. May 2013 May 2012 Westfield May 2013 May 2012

“May was quite a positive month for job growth in the Hoosier State,” he said. “Most tangible employment measures seem to be trending in the right direction for the moment, which is cause for cautious optimism.”

Sanders said Indiana has added 45,300 private sector jobs during the past year, more than a third of which have occurred since the start of 2013. He said 13 percent of private-sector growth during the past year has come from manufacturing.

Nine of Indiana’s 92 counties have an unemployment rate of 10 percent or higher, while just two have rates below 6 percent. Hamilton County’s rate of 5.6 percent was the lowest in the state.

Fireworks safety tips

Commentary by Ben Coe

Bottle rockets and firecrackers can fly in any direction and may explode on or near someone instead of up in the air. SparInsurance klers are also a huge risk, as they burn at very high temperatures and are often given to children too young to use them safely. All fireworks pose potential risks of burn, blindness and other injury.

When using fireworks, always plan carefully in advance for who will shoot them and what safety precautions you will have in place. Here are some suggestions to ensure safety and avoid accidents: • Use fireworks and sparklers outdoors only.

• Only use fireworks if they are legal where you live (check both state and local laws).

The National Council on Fireworks Safety provides easy-to-use information on state laws at www.fireworksafety.org.

• Always have a hose or water bucket handy.

• Only use fireworks as intended. Do not alter or combine them, and do not use homemade fireworks.

• Keep spectators a safe distance away.

• Wear safety goggles when handling or shooting off fireworks.

• Do not shoot fireworks off if under the influence of alcohol.

• Never give sparklers to young children.

• Show children how to properly hold sparklers, how to stay far enough away from other children and what not to do (throw, run or fight with sparkler in hand) – but supervise closely, regardless.

• Point fireworks away from people, homes, trees, etc.

• Never try to relight a dud (a firework that didn’t properly ignite).

• Soak all firework debris in water before throwing it away.

• Do not carry fireworks in your pocket or shoot them from metal or glass containers.

• Never let children play with fireworks unsupervised.

• Make sure pets are secure and inside before setting off any fireworks that may scare them or harm their sensitive ears.

When to use on and onto

Commentary by Jordan Fischer

Question: “I’m wondering how you differentiate between the words ‘on’ and ‘onto?’ Like in the sentence: ‘My cat grammar guy jumped on my head.’

Should it be ‘onto?’”

Answer: Your cat does that too? We recently had a kitten move in with us, and her favorite place seems to be my face, particularly when I’m trying to catch a few winks. Anyway … on to our grammar question.

There are actually three prepositions worth learning about 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.

“On,” to allow the Merriam-Webster its moment, 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.

And so, back to your original question: Your cat jumped onto your head. Once there, it rested on your head. And while I was writing this column, my kitten leapt onto my computer mouse several times. I guess cats know their prey, even in our digital age. And now you know how to use “on,” “onto” and “on to.”

I don’t know what I was thinking the other day when a bought an entire watermelon for my small family of four. My husband food and I can only eat so much watermelon and my children are so young that they don’t eat much either. But I didn’t want my watermelon to go to waste, so I came up with the perfect solution: fresh watermelon lemonade.

Oh my goodness... I love lemonade, and I’ve tried many flavored varieties, but not much beats the taste of fresh watermelon lemonade!

You can, of course, make the lemonade base of this drink from scratch, but I really think that Simply Lemon is a great tart and tangy lemonade so I used this as my base for my drink. Just keeping it simple around here.

Here’s how to make watermelon lemonade: Watermelon Lemonade Yield 1 cup Ingredients: • 1/2 cup Simply Lemonade (or from scratch) • Approximately 1 cup seedless watermelon Directions: 1. Blend watermelon chunks in a blender until it becomes smooth. No need to add anything else to the blender, just put the watermelon in there and blend away.

(Also, no need to take the white seeds out, those will blend up.)

2. Combine 1/2 cup lemonade with 1/2 cup watermelon juice.

3. Serve over ice.

I took a glass out to my husband who was working in the yard, and he thought it was so delicious. My kids both loved it, too. And of course, so did I. It is a little bit tart, but plenty of sweet and

Watermelon Lemonade is tart and sweet. (Submitted photo)

tastes just like summer.

Happy summer!

What’s my favorite plant?

Commentary by Holly Lindzy

If I had a dollar for every time I was asked to name my favorite plant, I could retire, but I wouldn’t.

Outdoors I love plants. And I love to run my mouth about my opinions, so when someone asks me about my favorites, a puppy dog tail wags in my head. Granted, my answer often depends on the time of year and what’s in bloom. But, I have my go-to, (drumroll, please) the magnificent Oakleaf Hydrangea.

Any plant that’s special to me has to have more than one season of interest. I mean, if you’re going to spend a designated dollar amount on one plant, doesn’t that just make sense? So, if it’s got an amazing bloom and great fall color, for instance, it’s on the list.

Now, back to my Oakleaf which bears so many wonderful attributes I wonder whether I can fit them all in my dedicated space of 300 words. Right now, I am divinely smitten with its plump form and plentiful bloom. Planted in part sun about five years ago, my 6-foot by 6-foot shrub is covered in huge clusters of white blooms bobbing atop carefree, oak leaf shaped foliage which will take on a red-purple fall color.

By then, the flower heads will have aged to a handsome pink. (Yes, pink!) And when the plant is spent, dried blooms will remain to accompany the peeling bark of the stems. Need I say more?

But wait. There is more. People may think (with frowns on their faces, I’m sure) they don’t have the space for such a massive shrub. Fret not, for there are dwarf varieties equally as beautiful. Sikes, Pee Wee or Ruby Slippers will fit your smaller space in part sun and be just as stunning and care free.

So, there you have it – my all-time favorite plant and secret to traffic-stopping, conversa-

tion-starting garden design: Oakleaf Hydrangea as an anchor or focal point.

That’s my opinion. No dollar necessary.

Appreciate your freedom to create custom project Commentary by Randy Sorrell

Incredible backyard living spaces will be exhausted by week’s end, as will fortunate owners and guests as entertaining thrives and we celebrate our freedoms and the luxury of residing in the greatest country on this planet.

Outdoors This luxurious project is not typical by any means. Custom projects are not intended to be, regardless of size. Fortunately “custom” does not have to mean expensive… just well designed! The finished space should speak to you, addressing how it will be enjoyed and the size of gatherings you will appreciate during the years. Freedom to make those decisions, within financial constraints, is something we take for granted. Sure, irritating construction drawings and building permits are sometimes required and homeowner’s associations are increasingly commanding their feedback.

After multiple designs, we landed on this spacious design for the elegant lanais. Creating a clipped roofline to plant the custom brick/mortar and cobblestone fireplace was a brilliant design element that pulled the space inward and suggests just the correct amount of privacy. Travertine flooring on the outside of the see-through fireplace was a huge bonus and marries well with the traditional red clay paver patio under roof. Gorgeous ceiling fans provide a nice breeze when necessary.

This project, and gracious career, reminds me of two of my favorite leader’s quotes: “Freedom prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is acknowledged.” Ronald Reagan “For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respect and enhances the freedom of others.” Nelson Mandela However you choose to celebrate July 4th, please pause a moment to thank the men, women, volunteers and leaders who have served bravely to cause freedom to prevail.

The benefits of distressed flooring are many

Commentary by David Decker

In case you hadn't noticed, designers have a passion for rediscovering old things and making them feel new and modern again. Such is the case for distressed hardwood indoors flooring, a new hardwood trend that has become a popular choice for homeowners. These hardwood designs are scraped, either by hand or a machines, to give them a weathered, aged appearance. The result is an edgy, contemporary look that many homeowners love.

In the past, many homeowners replaced or hid their old, worn hardwood flooring under carpeting. So why has distressed hardwood become popular today? For one, many people love the lived-in feel of distressed hardwood. It can add character and a rustic feel to a room, without overpowering the rest of the decor. And because the floors are already distressed, the everyday wear and tear that inevitably occurs to hardwood flooring will not be noticeable. This makes it a great flooring option for homeowners with pets that may otherwise damage brand-new planks.

There are two ways to create the texture of distressed flooring. The first involves a handscraping process where each board is distressed by a craftsman. The second uses a machine to mimic the look by sanding and wearing the surface. Because they require a great deal of

istic and unique. The craftsman can mimic wormholes, dents, splits and other characters that mimic the natural appearance of worn wood.

Machine-made floors simply scrape a repeating patterns across the wood, which gives the floors a more artificial feel.

Distressed hardwood can come in a variety of finishes, but you will likely want to have your flooring prefinished by the manufacturer.

This is because the preparation for distressed hardwood is much different than traditional hardwood floors. The sanding that prepares the hardwood floor for finish can actually destroy the distressed look of the flooring.

Distressed hardwood is available in a number of designs and styles. Two popular distressed solid wood choices are hickory and walnut, but there are many options to choose from. Or you could go with an engineered wood option, which would increase the number of colors and looks available to you. Additionally, you could choose to stain or varnish your distressed flooring for added effect. A darker stain or varnish will emphasize the scraped surface because it find its way into the cracks of the hardwood.
