Behind the badge: Eric Grimes

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Eric Grimes said he wanted to be a police officer since he was in Boy Scouts as a child.

Current caught up with him to learn more about the Westfield Police Dept. and his profile duties.

Age: 29.

Hometown: Indianapolis.

Lives: Westfield.

Position: Sergeant.

What made you want to be in the police department? “I was in Boy Scouts early on, and I think going to that and being involved in the community and having officers come in to Boy Scout meetings and talking about their jobs sparked my interest. I progressed through Boy Scouts in high school, I am an Eagle Scout, and I started doing ride-alongs in high school. I saw just a whole variety of things police officers do for the community, so from that, I transferred into law enforcement.”

How long have you been with the department? “I went to the police academy in 2007. I was an officer at IU Bloomington for two years, and then I worked at the Culver Police Dept. in northern Indiana. I got hired in Westfield in 2009.”

What did you major in at Bloomington? “I majored in criminal justice and minored in sociology. I did the academy halfway through college – the summer before my junior year. I then went to school full time and worked for the IU Police Dept. I went to school during the day and

worked during the night.”

What’s one thing you want the community to know about your job? “The impact that police have on people, and they will have that impact on them for the rest of their life. People remember that, especially when you have a positive impact on somebody’s life, they’re impacted forever. I think it’s a unique and awesome opportunity to have.”

What’s your favorite community interaction since you’ve worked in Westfield? “The Relay for Life event. My father got diagnosed with cancer and passed away in 2010. I started doing Relay for Life and got heavily involved in the community.”

After the Westfield Washington Township and the Carmel Clay Township boards of trustees met individually on June 28, the decision was made to not add a mass transit referendum to the ballot in November. This referendum would have allowed voters to decide whether to support a tax increase ($.25 per $100 of iincome) for a mass transit system in central Indiana.

The Westfield Washington Township board voted the morning of June 28 to put the referendum on the November ballot. However that evening the Carmel Clay Township board decided to delay its vote until 2018.

Money from the potential tax increase following a successful referendum would fund the Red Line, a rapid-transit bus route that would extend from Greenwood and Indianapolis through Carmel and all the way to Westfield. Indianapolis has already voted to include the referendum on its Nov. 8 ballot.

The $198 million Red Line project is part of a $1.2 billion regional transit plan known as Indy Connect.

Libertarian signs tax pledge

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com The Americans for Tax Reform created the Taxpayer Protection Pledge, a certificate that Libertarian candidate and politics Westfield resident Donald Rainwater recently signed.

“It is basically designed to be specific to different levels of government,” Rainwater said of the pledge. “I pledge as an individual running for office to oppose and vote ‘no’ on any and all tax increases. The idea obviously being that the government has already taxed folks enough, and the government needs to do a better job with the money they are already collecting.”

Rainwater is running as the Libertarian candidate for State Senate District 20, a spot currently held by Republican Luke Kenley.

“I feel like the State of Indiana and the General Assembly are very proud of the fact they have a $2 billion surplus and a rainy day fund, yet they continue, as a Republican-controlled general assembly, to propose new taxes and tax increases,” Rainwater said. “We’ve got all this money in surplus, why aren’t we figuring out how to better spend the money we have instead of continuing to tax hardworking people just to put it in a state savings account?”

Rainwater signed the pledge in May. He

said he decided to sign the pledge after he listened to commercials regarding the state passing a cigarette tax to aid in road funding.

“I’m not a believer in the government using taxation to change people’s personal behavior,” he said. “I don’t think that is consistent with liberty and justice for all.”

Noblesville Democrat Paula Gillia and Rainwater will run against Kenley in the Nov. 8 election. State Senate District 20 includes Fishers, Carmel, Noblesville and Westfield.

Marissa Barrows earned the Girl Scout Gold Award by building a butterfly garden at Westfield Playhouse. (Submitted photo)

Barrows earns Girl Scout accolade

By Sara Barker • news@currentinwestfield.com A Westfield woman recently earned the Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest award a Girl Scout can earn, by building a butterfly garden.

Marissa award Barrows, 19, worked on the garden for two years, spanning from the beginning of her junior year at Westfield High School to the end of her senior year.

Barrows In order to win the Gold award, Girl Scouts must plan a project that solves a problem, find volunteers to help fund it, build it and find a way for it to be sustained over the years.

When planning her eight-by-four-foot butterfly garden next to the Westfield Playhouse, 1836 Ind. 32, Barrows had the ecosystem in mind.

“Butterflies are starting to go extinct. That’s the main reason (why it was built),” she said.

Barrows received a $500 grant and free flowers from the Hamilton County Master Gardeners Association to aid her in constructing the garden. A local master gardener also helped her plan out the space.

“It was really simple to do. The hard part, really, was finding the materials to make the raised garden bed,” Barrows said.

To find volunteers, Barrows posted flyers around the city and took out advertising space in local publications. The volunteers helped her prepare the soil and plant flowers.

In order for the butterfly garden to be sustained, Barrows chose two younger Girl Scout troops to take care of it in the future.

“I am just hoping that it inspires other people to build their own butterfly gardens,” Barrows said. “People don’t really know it, but when they plant Black-eyed Susans, they’re planting a flower that butterflies like.”

Barrows said she has been a Girl Scout for 14 years, a longer time than most of her peers. “(Girl Scouts) was something really fun to do and a place to make friends much easier than it would be outside of Girl Scouts,” she said.

Group to fundraise for vets, pets

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com On July 9, members of the Wheel Dawgz will once again ride their motorcycles to raise funds for Pets Healing Vets, a event 501(c)(3) organization that connects dogs from the Humane Society of Hamilton County with veterans returning to the states.

The fourth annual “Randy’s Memorial Ride” will be 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. July 9 at the Moose Lodge, 900 W. Jefferson St., Tipton. The namesake of the fundraiser is for Randy Boes, a Vietnam veteran who was the uncle of Justin Boes, president of Wheel Dawgs.

Many members of the Wheel Dawgz are Westfield residents who work at Indiana Mills and Manufacturing, Inc. “I really can’t think of a better charity (than Pets Healing Vets) and a charity that gives back to our veterans and gives them companion animals,” said Westfield’s Randy Graham, a Wheel Dawgz member. “It also rescues animals from the Humane Society of Hamilton County.”

Many Wheel Dawgz members are veterans themselves, including Graham. All members share a love of pets, motorcycles and veterans.

Nehemiah Vision Ministries built a hospital in Chambrun, Haiti, where Amy Bennett will be working this month.

Westfield grad Amy Bennett prepares to help others in Haiti

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Many college-aged students spend summers interning around the world, but not everyone does it in hopes cover story of helping others.

Amy Bennett, a 2014 Westfield High School grad and current Purdue University nursing student, will experience both this summer.

Bennett will spend this month in Chambrun, Haiti, where she will assist at the village hospital built by Nehemiah Vision Ministries.

“I first went on a mission trip with my high school Bennett ministry at Grace Church, and we went on a week-long trip and helped out at an English camp,” the 20-year-old said.

“Last time I was there, they hadn’t finished the hospital yet. They just had a clinic, a really tiny clinic I got to shadow for a day. Now I’m a nursing student, I will be a student intern for nursing at the hospital.”

Bennett will spend the month helping in the malnutrition clinic or in a traveling clinic.

“As an intern, I can help in the hospital, and my dad, brother and sister will be there the last week I’m there on the same mission trip I went on four years ago,” Bennett said. “They’ll be helping with the English camp, so I can help with that a day or two, and be with them.”

Bennett said although she loves caring for all people, her true passion lies in maternity healthcare.

“I’m really interested in women’s health. I really love pregnant women and babies,” she said. “I think I want to keep going and (become) a nurse practitioner and be in women’s health or a midwife. (Haiti’s) healthcare

problems are very different from the (United States’), so I’m really excited to learn as much as I can and get to know the culture.”

Bennett raised approximately $2,000 to cover her food and housing during her stay and did so by sending letters to friends and families and selling homemade meals and desserts.

“It’s life changing getting to see a different culture, and I’m really excited to see how healthcare is different,” she said. “NVM is a really great organization, and they have child sponsorship programs and it’s a way people in the states can help if they aren’t able to travel to Haiti. (The child sponsorship programs) fund (the child’s) education and supplemental food.”

Bennett also has traveled to Costa Rica, El Salvador and Ukraine. She has plans to return to Haiti again after her internship.

“It’s life changing getting to see a different culture, and I’m really excited to see how healthcare is different.”

The 501(c)(3) is 12 miles northeast of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and it ministers to the people living in Chambrun, Onaville and other Haitian towns.

“Chambrun, Haiti, is this rural village, and they have a church, a school, an English camp and they just built a hospital,” said Amy Bennett, an intern traveling to Chambrun through NVM as a Purdue University nursing student. “We were able to go down and visit kids and play with them.

We got to go to church as well which was neat because it was in Haitian Creole.”

Bennett traveled to Haiti through NVM in 2012, as a part of her high school ministry at Grace Church. Housing is provided on the NVM 18-acre campus.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Who’s least untrustworthy?

OK, we can’t help ourselves with respect to the upcoming presidential election. It’s no surprise the vitriol gets nastier by the day, and it’s going to get much, much worse. We tend to agree with recent comments made by well-known pollster Frank Lantz, who, commenting on the high negatives of both Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) and Donald Trump (R-Billions), said, “The candidate who proves they are less untrustworthy is the candidate that’s going to win.” So Trump’s “Crooked Hillary” label likely makes sense. She’s hitting back, of course, but Trump is smart in bringing up all the past Bill and Hillary scandals of the past, as most of us forget the details. While pundits have told us this election will be like no other, it does bring to mind the 1988 battle between George H.W. Bush and Michael Dukakis (Remember him?). The Republicans knew it had a weak candidate in Bush, and the strategy was not to build up Bush but tear down Dukakis.

Mission accomplished. Perhaps this is what 2016 is all about: Whoever can launch more and effective punishing attacks on the other, wins. Trump has a great arsenal in Hillary being, well, Hillary, but we never underestimate the power of the Clinton machine. Either way, it will be a great spectator sport.

••• We hope you will have a safe and restful, if not overly patriotic, holiday weekend. Our nation’s independence is reliant on so many, and it’s defended the world over. To those that serve, and to those that came before them, our heartfelt thanks for all that is done each day so that we are ensured our freedom continues unabated.

Fame: It’s going to live forever Commentary by Terry Anker It is a popular subject of our culture. We sing songs about it. We dedicate films and television shows to it. It seems that we even select our political leaders, in part, because of it. Fame. It is pursued and reviled in nearly equal measure. Yet, its allure is undeniable because of both the power it bestows and the very fact that it bends the rules of life to conform to those who wield it. There are no velvet ropes that cannot be moved or inconveniences that cannot be overcome. For those standing in the bright light of fame, as 1980s British rock-and-roll band Dire Straits memorialized in its anthem to fame – you get “money for nothin’ and chicks for free.”

We all want to be special. There is nothing innately wrong with the desire to have our peers take notice of our ability, appearance or agenda. It is good to feel loved. One might imagine it is good to have things go our way a bit more. But the reality distorting prin-

ciples of fame often become a dangerous and addictive state of affairs. Too quickly one can come to believe that privileges, once imagined to be special, are now to be expected. They consider a life without firstclass passage too difficult to be endured.

Can we become trapped by our own expectations? Surely. Can our understandable need to be important be tainted as we achieve the very thing that we are seeking?

Probably. Kardashians, political candidates and community organizers all use fame as a tool to open doors and meet objectives.

In fact, it is most impressive what can be achieved doing little more than manipulate fame. But, is being a V.I.P. enough? Is fame an end in itself? Somehow, I doubt it.

Q U O T E O F T HE WEEK “A man is not finished when he is defeated. He is finished when he quits.”

– Richard Nixon

Recently we Wilsons had an interesting turn of events to which, in the broader context of parenting, I think humor many of you will relate.

My boy/girl twins are almost 15 and were set to make their Catholic confirmation last weekend. On the last day of their five-day preparation retreat, literally seven hours before the ceremony, I got a call from my son telling me he did not want to be Catholic.

He would not be making his confirmation that evening. My initial thought was, “But I ordered two cakes!”

He couldn’t explain his reasoning over the phone but assured me that this decision was not something he had taken lightly. I told him I was proud of him for choosing his own path, but hung up in tears. Had I done this? Had I been the one to turn him away from Catholicism, from my heritage? Or was he simply acting out a teenage rebellion, deciding this was easier than smoking pot? With no time to contemplate my maternal shortcomings – his sister was still going through after all – I continued making pasta salad for the post-mass party.

I did however text the relatives to let them know what had transpired and left the question of gift etiquette in their hands. When I picked him up prior to the mass, I heard his reasons. They were good. They were strong. And in that moment, I realized maybe I was actually a decent mom. I’d somehow taught my kid to stand up for his beliefs, whatever they are, and even if they aren’t the same as my own.

To my surprise (and his, I suspect), the family recognized this as a special moment, too. They rallied around my son in support of his decision, showering him with cards and cash anyway. In one particularly brilliant recovery, an aunt simply crossed out the word “confirmation” and wrote “cool new glasses.” Perfect.

Teens don’t always make the right call, which is why at cross country drop-off I love yelling “Make good choices!” But in this case, my son made the right one.

Peace out.

Walmart greeter looks like a low-stress job, but the employment contract requires being nice to people. Like I’d sign something like that?

Toll booth collector intrigues me. You meet people with no risk of establishing a real relationship. If you really want change, this is the gig for you.

How about lumberjack? You’re outdoors, and you can wear the same shirt every day. It would be fun to come home and say, “Honey, I got the axe at work today,” and not have her burst into tears.

I think I should have been a tour guide. First of all, you don’t really have to know anything, because no one will dispute it, nor remember what you say. Our guide in Savannah recently told us how Savannah was founded when the Pilgrims came over and … no, that’s not it. Actually, the Spanish missionaries arrived first … no, that doesn’t sound right. Whatever.

I’d be an excellent tour bus driver, as well.

I have no sense of direction, but the passengers have no idea where they are going, either. If lost, I could make up outrageous stories about how in this very isolated area three Catholic nuns saved the city of Savannah from the Spanish war ships by staying awake 72 straight hours to man the lighthouse. See? I told you I’d be good at this.

I couldn’t be this lazy in my present work.

The last 40 years would have been so much more pleasant without that accuracy monkey on my back.

If I had the chance now, the lure of a microphone and a captive audience moving at 45 miles per hour would be tough for me to turn down.

And here’s the best part: I could tell the same jokes every day, 50 weeks a year and no one would know.

Titus Bakery expands to Westfield

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Titus Bakery has been a staple on Lebanon’s Main Street for more than 35 years, and now, the bakery will be exnew biz panding for the first time.

Terry Rake and husband Tom own the bakery, and Terry said she and Tom are looking forward to the expansion.

“We chose that area because of growth … as well as it’s on Ind. 32, and we are on Ind. 32 (in Lebanon), so it is easy for us to get to,” she said. “We have a large customer base from that area, so we just felt that would be a great location for us.”

Titus Bakery specializes in doughnuts, specifically the Persians, but the shop also sells sandwiches from the Boar’s Head brand on its homemade bread.

Terry said although the physical location of the business is local, the store gets customers from all over.

“We’ve got a great team of staff and great support from the community and a good following, people come from all over to come here,” she said. “They’ll call from Chicago to reserve an order. We’re not just a local business.”

The new store will be at the Monon Marketplace development on the south side of Ind. 32 and the west side of U.S. 31. The Rakes said they are planning for an early- to mid-July opening.

“We’re looking forward to being a part of

Westfield and being a part of people’s families,” Terry said “It’s a real tradition for people to come here. We hope to duplicate that over there, too.”

The bakery will sell boxed lunches, and Terry said she believes that will attract teams from Grand Park, just a few miles north of the new location.

“Quality is everything; we bake things by hand. There’s some equipment we use, but it’s made the old-fashioned way,” she said. “We take great pride in our product.”

This year, Titus Bakery won 93.1 WIBC’s “Best Doughnut in Indiana” for its maple bacon doughnut. It also was named an “Indiana Company to Watch” in 2015. It’s received various other awards, as well.

While our immune systems protect us from viruses and bacteria, they also can react — or overreact — to family medicine harmless materials which trigger allergic reactions. Nearly 20 percent of Americans have some type of allergy. And while seasonal allergies with symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes and coughing are the most widely known allergies, many other substances, including foods, also can cause allergic reactions in some people.

Dust mites, pet dander, peanuts and seafood are other common allergens. People who are allergic to pet dander and dust can experience symptoms similar to seasonal allergies. They also may have red- or itchy-skin rashes or hives. Food allergies may cause a variety of symptoms, including stomach pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Allergies to nuts and other substances, such as insect stings, may cause the most severe and potentially life-threatening reaction — anaphylaxis — which causes a drop in blood pressure, difficulty breathing, loss of consciousness and shock. Individuals with severe allergies carry

epinephrine, a medication that stops severe allergic reactions. It comes in an auto-injector for quick and easy delivery.

It’s important to remember people can be allergic to anything. Medications, latex, metals, household cleaning chemicals and perfumes and dyes are other common culprits. Severity of the allergic reaction can differ greatly from person to person. In some cases, the reaction is quite noticeable; in others, it may be so mild it’s virtually overlooked.

If you think you have an allergy, see your primary-care doctor for an initial evaluation.

Depending on the circumstances, he or she may refer you to an allergist. There are a variety of tests, including simple blood tests, to help pinpoint allergies. Working closely with your doctor, most common allergy symptoms can be relieved with treatments that include oral antihistamines or regular allergy shots.

Supplement dangers – We often hear that supplements are a good alternative to chemical laden drugs, and that’s often true. The FDA, however, doesn’t regulate supplements that same way that it does drugs, and their manufacturers aren’t required to prove their claims about effectiveness. Some supplements, zinc for colds, for example, have lots of evidence to back them up. Others, such as Vitamin D to control diabetes, lack supporting evidence. The moral: do plenty of research before choosing a supplement.

Grammy Award-winning artist Melissa Etheridge rocked the stage and halls of the Palladium four years ago. Where’s Amy was mesmerized by the return of Etheridge on June 21, when she belted out songs with her sweet, raspy voice and contagious energy and played to a packed house. Several guests and friends of The Center of the Performing Arts had the opportunity to attend a special VIP meet-and-greet before the concert and said it was the highlight of their evening. Etheridge released her latest album “This Is M.E.” in 2014, and fans loved listening to her sing the featured singles, “Take My Number,” “A Little Bit of Me,” and “Monster.”

Etheridge also brought down the house with her classic hits “I’m the Only One” and “Come to My Window.” Every time I attend a concert at the Palladium, I leave feeling pumped, and my heart is full. Etheridge touched the hearts of her fans when she sang and dedicated her new song, “Pulse,” to the victims of the Orlando tragedy. It was beautifully written, and 100 percent of all download proceeds go to help those affected by the tragedy in Orlando. Hands down, Etheridge gave a superb concert, and I left with a smile on my face thinking about how fortunate we are to have The Center for the Performing Arts working hard to bring the best worldwide entertainment to Carmel. Grab your family and friends and be sure to check out the 2016-2017 season, because Where’s Amy can’t wait to see you there! For more, visit TheCenterPresents.org.

It was a VIP family affair for Palladium sponsors, from left, Teri, Jack, Michael and Ron Lenz, all of Fishers, who are fans of Melissa Etheridge and said they love reading Where’s Amy.

Kevin Byrd (Carmel), Amy Rexroth (Carmel) and Mike Kueper (Fishers) loved hanging out and rocking to the sounds of Melissa Etheridge at the Palladium.

Carmel’s Jenn Kampmeier organized Rock the Cradle and Indy Family Fest, and now she has a new brainchild – the first mobile wine truck in the state. drinks She bought the bus last winter and began the rehab process in March.

“It took a good eight weeks to do it,” the self-titled “mompreneur” said. “There’s nothing else out there like it, so we were doing everything ourselves. We got the bus down to the bare bones and built it up again.”

The Vino Mobile, or Vinny, as Kampmeier fondly refers to it, has no seats and people can’t ride in the bus. The wine truck is completely mobile with a full bar, and it is available to be rented year-round.

“We always have five wines on there,” she said, adding that riesling, chardonnay, pinot grigio, pinot noir and a cabernet or cab blend are the most popular. “Indiana is a sweet state, and we love our moscato, love our riesling, so I’m going through that like hotcakes.”

The wine is purchased from Monarch Beverages, Coastal Wine and Spirits and Republic National Distributing Company.

Her first few customers include the Westfield City Market, and she has already been booked for weddings. She also has made an appearance at some summer concerts in West Clay, Avon, Noblesville and Fishers.

Glasses of wine cost between $6 and $8, depending on the wine.

Although Vinny has no seats and customers can’t ride the bus like some of the brew buses found around Indianapolis, Kampmeier said seats are on the agenda.

“Eventually, when we get done with 2016 and sit back, franchise is ultimately where I want to go with this,” she said. “We aren’t just a seasonal wine truck because we have a portable bar. We can take a custom bar anywhere, and (Vinny) is the transport. He’s the attention-getter.”

Customers have to be more than 21 years old to enjoy beverages. To rent the Vino Mobile Bar for an event, or to learn more, visit facebook.com/vinomobilebar.

‘Basement Ladies’ on stage

By Zach Dunkin • editorial@youarecurrent.com As far back as the 1940s, Walt Disney began a practice of putting its classic animated films like “Snow White” and “Bambi” theater in the vault.

Likewise, Beef & Boards Dinner Theater will lock up one of its favorites, “Church Basement Ladies,” following its July 14-Aug. 21 run.

“We’re bringing back the original production,” said Patricia Rettig, director of marketing and media relations. “There are several in the series, and we’ve presented four of them, so it can get confusing. This is the show where it all started, which we first presented six years ago. And it will be the last time we present it for a while. It’s going back into our vault, to borrow Disney’s term.”

“Church Basement Ladies” is based on the best-selling book, “Growing Up Lutheran” by Janet Letnes Martin and Suzann Nelson. The musical comedy is about the women who work in the church basement cooking meals for church functions. Four women do their best to organize food, stave off potential disasters, share and debate recipes, keep the pastor on due course and try to solve the problems of their changing rural Minnesota

Three of the five actors from the original 2010 Beef & Boards cast are returning for this production: Eddie Curry as Pastor E.L. Gunderson; Licia Watson as Vivian Snustad, the matriarch of the group; and Karen Pappas as Mavis Gilmerson. New to the lineup are Lindsay Sutton as Signe Engleson and Dawn Trautman as Signe’s mother, Karin Engleson.

Chariot Festival set for July 9

By Desiree Williams editorial@youarecurrent.com The Chariot Festival of Indianapolis is back for its second year and will offer food, entertainment and a traditional family fun Indian celebration. The event will start at 10 a.m.

July 9 at the Hindu Temple of Central Indiana, 3350 N. German Church Rd., Indianapolis.

Ratha Yatra is the tale of the journey of three Hindu deities – Lord Jagannath, Lord Balabhadra and Goddess Subhadra – from their temple to their aunt’s home on grand chariots.

The event originated in Puri, Odisha in India, but it has spread worldwide since 1967 with the first U.S. festival in San Francisco.

“Our event is not about any religion, thought or belief,” said Saswati Pandab, one of the festival organizers. “It about people coming together, getting to know each other, enjoying, dressing up and trying out something new.”

Pandab moved to Fishers in 2004 where she found a small group of people working to organize the event there. They couldn’t plan it all on their own, so they reached out to the Hindu Temple for help. Now, they have gained sponsors as well as more organizing members

who donate to make the event possible.

During the festival, visitors can help pull the chariots around the temple, play instruments and enjoy Indian cuisine. The only cost for the event is a food coupon, which Pandab said will be less than $5.

Pandab said the event was so successful last year that the group already has plans to expand the festival to the downtown area within the next few years. She said they are hoping to make this event as well known as the ones in New York or California.

“The more people get to know about it, the more people participate, one day we will be able to Google ‘Ratha Yatra Indiana,’” Pandab said.

Blueprint for Improvement: Creating functional space Commentary by Larry Greene

Before Background info: This 1930s bungalow in Meridian-Kessler was a bachelor’s pad before the couple got married. The two-bedroom home was just not enough space for the newlyweds.

Before problems: The luxury of space and privacy was lacking in this small home, especially with only one shared bathroom. Most of the home was original and very dated, with original cabinets, plaster walls and flooring.

After

After solutions: The goal was to create additional and more functional space with an updated look throughout the entire home.

1. A second story was added to include a master suite with sitting room, a cathedral ceiling, hardwood floors, laundry room and a balcony off the bedroom.

2. The kitchen received a remodel with new cabinets, countertops, lighting, hardware and appliances.

3. New windows were installed throughout.

4. Updated lighting, flooring and finishes throughout the home.

5. All roofing and siding was replaced, along with a fresh coat of paint to give the exterior an updated look.

Talking politics Commentary by Jordan Fischer Good news for those of you out there in Grammar Land: the Grammar Guy is back from his hiatus and ready to grammar guy talk politics (sort of).

Generally, holding the position of Grammar Guy in as high esteem as I do, I try to stay above the fray. But now that election season has roared upon us with all its sound and fury, even I can’t resist a few steps on the campaign trail.

Don’t worry: We’re not going to be spellchecking campaign mailers or critiquing candidates on their subject-verb agreement. We’re going deeper. So grab your copy of Aristotle’s “Rhetoric” and prepare to talk about the art of persuasion.

If ethos, pathos and logos sound like characters from the Three Musketeers … then you’re surprisingly well-read for someone who’s not familiar with the modes of persuasion.

First put to page by Aristotle in the Fourth Century B.C., the modes of persuasion (ethos, pathos and logos) are how speakers appeal to their audiences. I’ll let the man himself do the introductions: “Of the modes of persuasion furnished by the spoken word there are three kinds. ... Persuasion is achieved by the speaker’s personal character when the speech was so spoken as to make us think him credible (Ethos). ...

Secondly, persuasion may come through the hearers, when the speech stirs their emotions

(Pathos). ... Thirdly, persuasion is effected through the speech itself when we have proved a truth or an apparent truth by means of the persuasive arguments suitable to the case in question (Logos).”

Repackaging that for this century, ethos is an appeal to authority – specifically the speaker’s. It can come from expertise, from an elected position or just inherent goodness. The important thing is that the speaker has authority, and you should listen to him/her because of it.

Pathos is an appeal to emotion. If you’re a fan of the Simpsons, you’ll recognize pathos in Helen Lovejoy’s frequent, handwringing appeals for “somebody to please think of the children.” Won’t you?

Logos is the appeal to logic – and it’s often the least effective mode. If you’d like to understand why, consider that Airborne – the popular Vitamin C supplement – made its parent company $70 million between 2011 and 2012 – a full three years after the makers admitted in a $23 million class-action lawsuit that there was “no competent and reliable scientific evidence” to support its health claims. As of the writing of this article, a bottle of 75 Airborne gummies goes for $23.75 on Amazon.

Coming up next week: “Ethos, or: Why people should listen to me.”

Jordan Fischer is a contributing columnist for Current Publishing. To ask Jordan a grammar question, write him at rjfische@ gmail.com.

Dispatch Fact checking – You’ve probably fallen for one of those stories that makes the social media rounds.

They’re usually either sappy, like the story of Daisy the dog rescuing people on 9/11, or designed to scare you into taking some kind of action. Have you seen the recurring warning about Facebook posts becoming public? Both stories are false, but people repost them anyway. Before passing on such stories, take a minute to fact check on a website like Snopes.com, TruthorFiction.com or FactCheck.org.

Along Amsterdam’s Singel Canal. (Photo by Don Knebel)

The canals of Amsterdam Commentary by Don Knebel Since 2010, Amsterdam’s canal ring has been on UNESCO’s World Heritage list. Since the 17th century, this unique travel transportation system has allowed visitors to the Netherlands’ capital to reach what is probably the city’s most famous attraction.

In the middle of the 13th century, Dutch fishermen established a trading village along the Amstel River in northwest Holland. The village became known as “Amsterdam” after a dam protecting the area from flooding. To protect against invaders, residents built a semi-circular moat around their village, extending south from the IJ, at the time a bay. In 1585, Amsterdam expanded beyond the moat and residents began using the moat, named the “Singel Canal,” for transporting themselves and their goods. In 1613, with its population continuing to grow from international trade, the city began building three additional canals in concentric semi-circular rings around the original moat, quadrupling the area of the city.

When completed, Amsterdam’s new canals were connected to each other and to the

Singel Canal by radially extending canals, enabling efficient water travel from any part of the city to another.

Amsterdam, with a population of more than 200,000 in 1800, was among the world’s largest and most prosperous cities, attracting people from all over the world. One of its most popular destinations, especially for visiting sailors, was an area inside the Singel Canal known as “De Wallen,” featuring drinking, gambling and prostitution.

Today, Amsterdam’s 165 canals, with a combined length of approximately 65 miles, are spanned by more than 1,200 bridges, three times as many as in Venice. Approximately 2,500 houseboats are moored along the canal banks, most serving as permanent residences.

Three million visitors a year board tour boats to traverse Amsterdam’s canal network, many ending their trip near De Wallen to explore Amsterdam’s still flourishing red-light district.
