Building permit sought for gun range

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Tim Tomich hopes to receive building permits for a clean, well lit and ventilated, state-of-the-art indoor shooting range later coming soon this week. Next week, Tomich wants to break ground on Tim’s Shooting Academy, 17777 Commerce Dr., and open later this year.

Tomich, who is “semi-retired,” said the idea came from his son-in-law.

“At age 16, I was a shooter and hunter,” he said.

“The one thing my father showed me was safety, safety, safety, safety.”

Safety of the public, customers and employees are Tomich’s first, second and third concerns when looking at creating an indoor shooting range.

“The most important part is educating the public on safer use of handguns and guns in general,” he said. “We want people to come here and experience the sport of shooting but more importantly, learn to be safe.”

To ensure safety, the building is following U.S. Navy specifications because they are the most stringent rules in the world, according to Tomich.

“We’re pouring reinforced concrete walls so we can keep everything inside the building,” he said.

“Elvis isn’t going to leave the building. Everything is designed with safety first… and we are in an industrial park, not near any schools or residential areas.”

Noise outside the building will also not be an issue with 10-inch reinforced concrete walls.

“Every two inches of concrete reduces the decibel level by 50 percent,” Tomich said, adding a typical shotgun blast is 165 decibels. “A whisper in a library six feet away is six decibels. The sound of a shotgun blast through 10-inches of concrete is about two decibels. The noise issue will not be a concern outside.”

Tomich is working with Technical Firearms Training and will have NRA certified firing instructors at the range. He said the onsite classroom will have space to accommodate 20 students at a time.

“Classes are for those who have never held a handgun to experienced people who are looking to properly handle a gun safely on a conceal and carry basis,” Tomich said. “We will have classes regularly – at least once a month, up to two or three a month depending on interest.”

The proposed gun range would be at 17777 Commerce Dr. (Submitted illustration)

Tomich anticipates a lot of women coming to the academy seminars.

“The largest growing population of shooters is women between the ages of 50 and 60,” he said.

Everyone who comes to the academy will listen to a 20-minute safety presentation before being allowed to enter the shooting range.

“Even the police chief most go through a training seminar before he’s allowed to go to the shooting range,” Tomich said, adding a breach flag will be placed in the gun before entering and after leaving the shooting range. “The first time they can load the gun is in the bulletproof stalls.”

Tomich said the shooting academy will sell firearms – upper-end handguns, shotguns and rifles.

“We will have weapons there people can rent,” he added. “Before you go out and buy a gun, fire that gun… What’s the first thing you do when shopping for cars? You take it for a test drive.”

DISPATCHES Young Republicans chair arrested – Marietto “Mario” Massillamany, chairman of the Hamilton County Young Republicans, was arrested and charged with drunken driving in Fishers on July 7. Shortly before 7:30 a.m., Massillamany was stopped by a Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office deputy for speeding after police say he Massillamany was doing around 60 miles per hour in a 35 mile-per-hour zone in the 5300 block of 96th Street, according to a police report. During the stop, the deputy developed probable cause to believe Massillamany was operating the vehicle while intoxicated. An OWI investigation was conducted and Massillamany submitted to a certified blood test. He was charged with OWI previous conviction and OWI with a blood-alcohol content between .08 and .15 He was booked into the Hamilton County Jail where he later posted bond and was released for a future court date. Massillamany is a former deputy prosecutor for Hamilton County and is an attorney. This is his third drunken driving arrest since 2000.

Captured – A non-venomous rat snake found a cool place to relax under the shade of a parked car in the Village Park Mall parking lot near Cool Creek Park on July 9. The Westfield Police Dept. contained the snake until Hamilton County Animal Control Coordinator Deputy Tom Rogers was able to capture it.

Cooking for charity – The Westfield Rotary wants Cool Creek concert goers to know that there is no need to bring a picnic dinner to the County Concert series. For the first three concerts and the next two, as well as the Vintage Vehicle Expo on Aug. 17, Rotarians are busy cooking jumbo brats and hotdogs at their blue tent to satisfy the tastes of both young and old. On these warm summer evenings ice cold drinks and a frozen ice cream treat also are available. Proceeds are used to support all the services Rotary members provide to the community, like the recently purchased picnic tables for their Sensory Garden Freedom Trails Park.

Police investigating robberies

INFINITI JX

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Westfield police officers are working with IMPD officers to catch those responsible for several burglaries, thefts and Crime vehicle thefts in the Beacon Pointe and Shadow Lakes subdivisions, located on the southwest side of the city along 146th Street.

WPD Sgt. Robert Dine said a number of incidents occurred from 3:30 to 4:30 a.m. on July 9. While no residents were harmed during the break-ins, Dine said objects stolen from homes and vehicles included electronics, computers, laptops, cell phones, GPS units and televisions.

“It was determined that three homes were entered, all of which were unsecured, all of which were occupied. Two vehicles were stolen, a white Dodge Charger and a Honda SUV. The keys to these vehicles were stolen during the burglaries of the unsecured residences,” Dine said, adding there were three additional thefts from unlocked vehicles.

Dine said the Honda SUV was found parked in a cul-de-sac in the neighborhood shortly after the owner called the police.

“Around 10:20 a.m., detectives from the Westfield Police located the white Dodge Charger in Indianapolis. With the assistance of IMPD, the Charger was recovered after a short pursuit,” he said.

Several items stolen from the residences were

Firemen win Fishers competition

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com A group of Westfield firefighters are on a winning streak. Members of the WFD Scott Firefighter Combat Challenge have achievement placed first at both the Cincinnati and Fishers regional competitions. The group’s focus is on its upcoming competition in Lexington, Ky. “There are a lot of bigger teams there. It’ll be a good test to see where we are at,” fireman Justin Anderson said.

Fireman Jeremy Devitt said the group practices whether they are on duty or off.

“It’s like our hobby,” he said, adding the team’s ultimate goal is placing at the national competition and competing at the world’s contest.

This is the third year Westfield has had a team participate in the global competition. Team captain Matt Hansen said a group saw the event televised on ESPN and “wanted to try and do it.”

“We went to a competition in Evansville. It was awesome. I fell in love with the camaraderie,” he said.

Hansen said the team practices three hours a day for five or six days a week.

“We all come from a sports background, and I miss competing,” he said.

The challenge seeks to encourage firefighter fitness and demonstrate the profession’s rigors to the public. Wearing “full bunker gear” and the Scott Air-Pak breathing apparatus, pairs of

competitors race head-to-head as they simulate the physical demands of real-life firefighting by performing a linked series of five tasks including climbing the five-story tower, hoisting, chopping, dragging hoses and rescuing a life-sized 175-pound “victim.”

“We race as individuals and everyone does the whole race,” Hansen said, adding the top three times compile the total team time.

Hansen said there are 15 to 20 regional competitions that attract hundreds of U.S. and Canadian municipal fire departments. The world competition later this fall will include teams from New Zealand, Germany, Argentina, Chile and South Africa.

City council recap What happened: Amendment to utility ordinance What it means: The Westfield Board of Public Works and City Council wish to formally amend the water and sewer rates. Chief of Staff Todd Burtron said the ordinance will not impact residential users but businesses with large meters that are low volume customers. “It’s reflecting what we should have done in the first place,” he said. Burtron said the changes are in line with Citizens Energy Group, which is in the process of purchasing Westfield’s water and sewer utilities.

What’s next: The ordinance will be up for adoption consideration on Aug. 12.

What happened: Amendment to Viking Meadows subdivision What it means: The proposed amendment would apply to Lot 29 in the residential subdivision known as Valley View at Viking Meadows, on the south side of 156th Street between U.S. 31 and Oak Ridge Road. The property is approximately 2.18 acres. The proposed amendment would modify architectural standards for Parcel D, lot 29, in regards to its roof pitch. The amendment would accommodate a home with a historical architectural style that lends itself to an alternative roof pitch.

What’s next: The council unanimously approved the amendment after being approved by the Westfield Advisory Plan Commission.

The petitioner also engaged the Valley View neighbors regarding the proposal and received no feedback in opposition.

What happened: Banas area voluntary annexation What it means: The area proposed for annexation is referred to as the “Banas Annexation Area” and is generally located adjacent to the existing corporate limits, south of 186th Street and west of Springmill Road. The annexation is 100-percent voluntary. The area is 61 acres of farmland and would cause little impact as existing public services cover the land surrounding it.

What’s next: The annexation will be up for adoption consideration on Aug. 12.

The coolest backyard ever – Natural Light Patio Covers There’s nowhere anyone would rather be on a beautiful summer day than the backyard deck, in a comfortable chair, sipping a cool drink. And yet, this idyllic scenario can so easily be spoiled if the sun is too hot and too direct.

There are dozens of solutions to block the sun, but nothing is as effective or rewarding as a Natural Light Patio Cover.

Imbued with almost magical qualities, the covers block all U.V. rays and 75 per cent of infrared rays, while letting through most of the light. The result is a cool setting that is still filled with natural light. There isn’t a giant solid awning casting a shadow not only on the deck but on the room behind the adjacent windows.

There isn’t a large umbrella that has to be folded down every time the wind picks up. And there isn’t a retractable sunshade that has to be cranked into position every time someone wants to sit outside.

Natural Light Patio Covers use Acrylite panels to filter out heat and U.V. while letting the light shine through, to create the perfect patio atmosphere. They can be attached to homes to cover decks and patios, or built as stand-alone covers detached entirely from the house.

They are permanent structures, engineered specifically for the Indianapolis climate to take the wind and snow without buckling or showing signs of wear. The see-through panels do not discolour or show any effect from U.V. rays. In short, they are the perfect way to ensure your backyard experience is ideal all spring, summer and fall for many years to come.

“We can even build enclosures to create three-season rooms,” says Cory Clapper, the Indianapolis sale consultant of the covers. “People have all sorts of uses for this technology,” he says. “We can build almost any kind of structure to fit in with a backyard plan.”

The Acrylite comes in two-foot wide panels that can be as long as 24 feet. Glazing bars between them provide structural support and can be formed into a single slope or cathedralstyle ceiling.

“When you look up through the panels, they are a sky blue colour,” Clapper says. “It’s like you’re looking at the sky.”

The aluminum structure itself comes in four colours and all Patio Covers include eaves troughs just like the roof of a house.

“The manufacturer guarantees the engineering of the panels, which are made in Germany, for 30 years not to fade or discolour, and has a 10 year warranty against hail damage,” Clapper says. “So, people can expect their covers to last 30 years or more. It’s a quality product.”

The structures are not inexpensive, but Clapper uses an integrity pricing system that keeps costs as low as possible. He provides free estimates and plans to run several open houses in London this summer, inviting interested homeowners to tour houses where he has installed a Patio Cover already.“When people see them and feel how cool they are standing there in the bright sunlight, they are amazed,” he says.

The company’s website features several options and configurations and as well as testimonials from happy customers who are already enjoying their Natural Light Patio Cover this summer.

4-H FAIR

Current in Westfield

www.currentinwestfield.com

4-H is a summer staple for the Day family

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Hamilton County Supt. of Schools John F. Haines organized the earliest Indiana boys corn club meeting of record cover story on April 9, 1904. Ninetythree boys enrolled in that first corn club and each was given 1,200 kernels of corn for his project. At the end of the year, members exhibited their corn in the courthouse walkways. From this beginning of one project, the interest and growth of 4-H has increased to more than almost 2,000 youth in Hamilton County and more than 68 projects.

Paul Woodward’s family moved to Hamilton County in 1932 when he was 7. Woodward, now 87 and living in Noblesville, and his older brother joined the Fall Creek Township 4-H Club led by Newell Hurlock and his wife in 1935.

Woodward During his first county fair, Woodward remembers the hogs were in tents on Logan Street in downtown Noblesville and cattle were sheltered in a livery stable, where the Hamilton County Judicial Center now is located.

The women’s clothing exhibits were displayed in the Armory.

“There were no livestock sales and most of the projects were directed toward rural families.” he said. “In October, corn and crops were judged in the hallways of the courthouse.”

The first Hamilton County 4-H fair was held three years later in 1938 at Noblesville’s Forest Park.

“It was an idea that grew statewide and countywide to get more people participating,” Woodward said. “A bigger group of farmers got involved and really made a fair out of it.”

Woodward still remembers that first 4-H fair and said times were different during the “horse and buggy” days.

“The horse shows were pulling horses. There were lots of cattle and hogs but not very many sheep or goats at that time. Crops were shown in the fall and the girl’s projects were mainly cooking and clothing,” he said.

The county fair was held at Forest Park in 1936 and 1937. In the following years, it moved around the county and was held in Sheridan, Walnut Grove, Carmel, Arcadia, Noblesville and Westfield. The 4-H fair moved out to the present 4-H fairgrounds on Pleasant Street in Noblesville in 1948. Monte Jessup donated 2.5 acres for the

fairgrounds. At that time, it was an airport. The Hamilton County 4-H Council purchased 12 acres more land from Jessup.

The Hamilton County 4-H Fair is a special place where many families have fond memories like Ann and Kevin Day of Westfield.

“I met my husband through 4-H. Our first date was the night I won Supreme Showmanship (in 1974),” Ann said.

“We met at an event at Purdue University, but I didn’t ask her out until a year later. I asked her out at the fair,” Kevin said. “I bet there are a lot of people who met their mate at the fair.”

Both credited their families for being involved in 4-H as youth.

“I was the fourth of five children. It’s what you did, but I loved it,” Ann said. “It’s taught us how to be organized, time management and to finish something once you start. It teaches you to give back too.”

“It’s given us good life skills. You learn to win, learn to lose and make lifelong friends,” Kevin said.

After 33 years of marriage, the Day’s have two sons – both of whom were 10-year 4-H members and Supreme Showmanship winners (Nathan in 2003 and Cameron in 2008).

“It was what our family did. Part of our vacation during the summer was the family down at the barn all together,” Nathan said. “It’s had a big

impact on my life,” he said. “I’m more involved in the livestock industry now than I was in 4-H.” “During the fair, you wake up early and take care of the animals around 6 a.m. You walk around and see people you don’t get to see all year. You’re like a family for one week,” Cameron said. “There’s a sense of community. There’s a competitive side, but you’re all working toward the same goal.”

Cameron compared his time in 4-H to running a business.

“It’s like you own a business in fourth or fifth grade. You take care of it and work on it. You’re in charge and have a huge responsibility working toward a goal and accomplishing your goal,” he said.

Though their children are no longer in 4-H, the Day’s have nieces and nephews in 4-H and are constant patrons at the fair.

“I love seeing friends and being with family (at the fair),” Kevin said.

“I turned down three judging jobs to be able to attend the swine show,” Nathan said.

While buildings and arenas have been added since their days, the Day’s said the heart of the 4-H program has remained consistent at the county fair.

“It’s not changed, which is good,” Kevin said.

Bring a healthy appetite

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

What would a county fair be without food? There are a lot of options available at the Hamilton County 4-H Fair – fair food some good, some not so healthy, and some you can only get once a year.

Here are a few ways you can fuel up at the fair: Extension Homemakers’ Specials Those that need a break from the heat or spend all their time at the fair and need a home cooked meal should check out the Extension Homemakers’ Kitchen inside the Exhibition Center, southwest of Hall B. Breakfast is available 8 to 10:30 a.m. with specials available 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday to Sunday and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday. This year’s meal schedule includes: Thursday – spaghetti and breadsticks; Friday – chicken & noodles; Saturday – meatloaf; Sunday – Swiss Steak; and Monday – ham & beans.

Producers’ Barbecue Outside in the commons area (next to the Small Animal Barn) is the individual species and joint producers’ food.

The joint producers barbecue is available 5 to 9 p.m. Thursday to Monday. Individual species (food products that come from particular animals), which vary each day of the fair, are available from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Days include: dairy, Thursday; rabbit and poultry, Friday; pork, Saturday; sheep, Sunday; and beef, Monday.

Food Tents More than 15 food booths will be located right outside the Hamilton County 4-H Exhibition Center and in the 4-H Commons. Vendors include county 4-H clubs and local churches, organizations and businesses. Each tent will offer something different – milkshakes, candy, fruit slushies, corn on the cob, chicken fingers, elephant ears, gyros, walking tacos, etc. While every vendor can sell water, soda pop can be purchased in the Junior Leader Soda Shop next to the entrance of the Small Animal Barn.

Hamilton County 4-H Clubs – There are 40 4-H clubs in Hamilton County including three new ones: Fishers Showstoppers led

by Lisa Swain in Fishers, 4-Ever 4-H led by Susan Young in Carmel and Highlands 4-H Club led by Bryan and Michelle Vackar in Carmel. Combined they consist of 1,963 4- H’ers, including 483 first-year members and 153 mini 4-H’ers. Other clubs available in Hamilton County include: Clover Kids, White River Blue Ribbon, Sheridan Merry Makers, Sheridan Ag, Carmel Colleens & Gents, Carmel 4-C’s, Carmel 4-Star 4-H’ers, Carmel H4, Fire Crackin’ 4-H’ers, Fishers Four Leaf Clovers, Friends Forever, Jolly Rogers, Mudsockers, Progressive Farmers, Royal Rascals, Southeastern 4-H’ers, Husky 4-H’ers, Jackson Hotshots, Forest Hill, Heartland 4-H’ers, Noblesville H & H, Stringtown Pikers, Winners Unlimited 4-H Club, Westfield All American 4-Hers, Westfield City Slickers, Westfield Cloverleaves, Westfield Whiz Kids, Shamrock Shakers, New Heights, Walnut Lassies & Laddies, Harey Hoppers, Shooting Sports, Hamilton County Jr. Sheep Assoc., Llama Trekkers, Four Leaf Clover Cloggers, Giddy Up Gang, Trail Blazers and Sterling Shields Stables.

IBC to host blood drive at fair – Fairgoers can give blood during their visit to the Hamilton County 4-H Fair on July 19. The Indiana Blood Center’s Mobile Unit will be open from 2 to 6 p.m. north of the Swine Barn. Donors will receive a voucher for a free milkshake courtesy of Hamilton County Farm Bureau, Inc. and a ticket to upgrade a meal in the Hamilton County Producers Tent to use any time during the 2013 4-H Fair, along with other incentives provided by the Indiana Blood Center. IBC is the agency through which lifesaving blood and blood components are supplied to more than 60 member hospitals throughout central and southern Indiana. IBC provides vital assistance to modern medicine through other related services including specialized blood typing for organ transplants, viral marker testing, tissue banks and the National Marrow Donor Program.

Homemade ice cream contest – Bring the family recipe and join the fun at the Homemade Ice Cream Contest at the Hamilton County 4-H Fair on July 19. The contest will be at 7 p.m. in the 4-H Commons on the east side of the Show Arena. The contest is open to all Hamilton County residents. Each team of two to four people will have 40 minutes to make its favorite ice cream recipe. Prizes will be awarded in three categories. They are: all flavors – electric freezer, all flavors – crank freezer and youth (ages 19 and under). A special award will be given to the team who best demonstrates the “Art of Ice Cream Making.”

Participants using recipes with eggs must use cooked eggs, egg substitutes or powdered eggs. Teams must furnish their own supplies and register in the 4-H Office by 5 p.m. July 19. For more information or a registration form, visit www3.ag.purdue.edu/counties/hamilton/Documents/ IceCreamContest.pdf or contact the Purdue Extension Hamilton County Office at 776-0854.

Help 4-Hers feed the hungry – Hamilton County residents can join the Hamilton County 4-H Program, Riverview Hospital and Good Samaritan in the ninth annual “4-H CAN Make a Difference” food drive in conjunction with the Hamilton County 4-H Fair. The public is encouraged to bring nonperishable food items such as canned soup, vegetables, beans, peanut butter, pasta, cereal/ oatmeal, powdered milk and rice to the fair. The food banks strive to acquire nutritious food for low-income families and individuals in our community. Drop off items in Exhibition Center Hall B during the 4-H Fair July 18 through 23.

Pet parade – Youth and their pets can explore their creativity by dressing in costumes to participate in the Hamilton County 4-H Pet Parade on July 21. The Pet Parade will be at 6 p.m. in the Rabbit Tent (west of the O.V. Winks building) at the Hamilton County 4-H Fairgrounds, 2003 Pleasant St., Noblesville. Participants must be 2 to 8 years old and accompanied by their favorite pet. All participants will receive a ribbon and awards will be given to the most creative participants. Participants are to report to the Rabbit Tent at 5:30 p.m. for registration.

Proof of the pet’s current rabies vaccinations must be provided at time of registration. Immediately following the event, all Pet Parade pets must leave the 4-H Fairgrounds.

FR O M T H E BACKSHOP Campus will help reshape city’s ‘edge’

Losing focus It is our position that the alarming increase in the diagnosis of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, more commonly known as ADHD, should be closely monitored. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, diagnosis of the disorder has escalated more than 50 percent in the U.S. during the past 10 years with one in five high school-aged boys being diagnosed. The most commonly prescribed treatments are stimulants commonly known as “study drugs.” Unfortunately, many of the individuals prescribed these “study drugs” are now distributing them among fellow students who don’t have prescriptions for the drugs, thereby using them as “mental steroids.”

These drugs also are addictive and can cause anxiety. Since the diagnosis of ADHD is purely based on feedback from patients, parents and teachers, the question must be begged, “Why the increase in diagnosis and is drug therapy really necessary in all cases?”

Interestingly, diagnosis of ADHD is not nearly as high in Hispanic and African American populations. Possibly the difference is due to lack of education on the issue, social stigma or varying perceptions of lack of concentration being categorized as a “disorder” that needs treatment. If the trend in “brain juicing” continues to escalate, it is a very troubling sign indeed.

Air traffic control Commentary by Terry Anker In the modern world, we have a strong variety of choice at our disposal. A dizzying array of food, lifestyle, and other options arrive in waves prompted by the stunning success of our capitalistic system from the past quarter of a millennium or so. Our grandparents (or even parents) would be amazed by the thousands of options of new products and services available to enhance or extend life.

In the area of transportation alone, automobiles are safer, faster and more efficient and luxurious than at any previous time in our history. Airplanes fill the skies such that most cities of any consequence are all scrambling to invest in enlarged or redeveloped airports to keep up with the volume. This new-found mobility has flooded the roadways with scores of commuters overwhelming capacity and leading to calls for more efficient means of conveyance like the efforts aimed at regional transportation.

But in the context of these seismic shifts in

consumer habits, one still has to figure out the best way to get from Indianapolis to Chicago for the mother-in-law’s birthday party. There was a time, in a U.S. domestic pre-terror world, that the fastest way to make the trip was a commuter flight. The airport was closer (the new terminal is great but it seems to take 30 minutes longer to get there) and the lines were short. One could arrive, park and board a plane in a third the time it now takes. Today is a very different story. The good folks at the Airport Authority (the name conjures up brown shirts and jack boots) work hard to make air travel stress-free, but when is it simply easier to drive? Is it distance, time or TSA agents who seem angry at you before you meet them that determines the route?

The city’s emerging crown jewel, Grand Park, the only sports campus of its kind in the U.S., is emerging nicely and appears to be on target for opening in the spring. The arrival of warmer weather and not as much precipitation as the winter featured has sped along the work on various aspects of the 360-acre complex.

We find it noteworthy that seeding of multipurpose fields is under way, and all the dirt you may or may not see out there will be replaced by lush, green surfaces for competition. It also is the growing of an economic base, if you choose to view it that way – and we do. Once this park has opened for business – don’t kid yourself, it IS all about business in the beginning and in the end, as it should be – the city’s businesses will be the primary beneficiaries. All the patience will be rewarded at the cash register; we truly believe that.

Add to it the finalization of the U.S. 31 project, and Westfield clearly will be an edge city unto its own, not unlike its neighbor to the south, Carmel. Grand Park will contribute to the redevelopment of the city’s identity and will be a significant plum for not only Westfield but Hamilton County, as well.

So as crews continue installing field lighting and wrapping up work on the pump house, we find it to be an exciting time. It’s all coming together very nicely, and now Grand Park Boulevard, the main thoroughfare through the campus, is paved and the pedestrian tunnel is complete, allowing pedestrians to walk from the baseball side of the park to the soccer side without having to cross any vehicular traffic. More excitement: If weather continues to cooperate, the park could see its first activity in late fall. Now, how cool is that? For more information on the project, you may visit www.GrandPark.org.

In support of the towers

Editor, A decade or more ago, if I had learned of an idea to construct soaring towers at the intersection of Ind. 32 and U.S. 31, my reaction would have been entirely negative. I would have seen this move as idiotic and irresponsible. Exhibiting that same factsand-figures mentality that we engineers are so often stereotyped with, I would have argued that such expensive artwork has no place on the list of public projects; that there is no practical purpose.

But I would have been wrong.

My opinion on such matters has changed completely, and it has changed due to several key experiences. In my career, I have been blessed with the opportunity to work on some large, high-profile projects. Though my involvement starts once the design is underway, the goals and purpose behind each project extend into coordination and planning meetings.

I learned while working on plans for Lucas Oil Stadium that the project was not about the game of football so much as the business of football. I wasn’t helping to design a building for the Colts. I was helping to design a building that contributes greatly to the persona of Indianapolis. If graded purely on the merits of function, the stadium would not have an operable roof, expanses of moving glass or the distinctive ‘fieldhouse’ architecture.

Advanced bookings show already that Grand Park will be a tremendous draw, bringing visitors and subsequent businesses to Westfield. But do

you suppose our city will be recognizable in the snapshots of athletes on the field?

On the other hand, do you recognize St. Louis by the arch? Or Paris by the Eiffel Tower? Really, what purpose do either of those serve? They create an identity. And anyone growing a business will tell you that you can’t put a price on identity.

You know what’s under the golden arches long before you’re close enough to read the sign.

To be perfectly honest, I’m still not certain that the current design is exactly what I would choose. There’s plenty of room for personal opinion. But it’s undisputable that the proposed towers will be iconic. Likenesses of those towers will be on T-shirts and placemats at restaurants who haven’t even found us yet, but will.

For those who suggest that we would be better served by a local tax break instead of funding the towers, I respect your opinion. We’re thinking along the same direction. Except I’ve learned to project forward, and apply the math long-term.

Take the cost of the towers and distribute that money among everyone in Westfield – how much do we get? And then it’s gone. But invest in a bold and recognizable gateway symbol, and reap the rewards of growth for many years to come.

I applaud the leadership and planning efforts that are taking place. I won’t agree with every move, but I like the direction overall. So long as the priorities continue to be carefully monitored and balanced, let’s see if we can get those towers built!

Cartoonist was drawn west

Commentary by Tim Campbell

Most of you only know me as the guy offering up the weekly Currentoon in the paper, but I thought I would break tradition and try my skills at communicating with more verbiage and less visual.

Last week, I ventured to the American West and attended my first convention of the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists in Salt Lake City.

The first day of the convention was held at The Leonardo (a cool museum combining science and art) and featured various sessions on The Art of Controversy. The highlight of the day came in the evening with the annual Cartoonist Death Match at the Tavernacle Piano Bar. In this event, four editorial cartoonists were given the chance to show their cartooning skills (and their firm grasp of foul language). Fortunately for the patrons of the Tavernacle, the participants were mercifully shot with a Nerf gun if they ran over their allotted time.

The second day also was filled with various sessions on our craft, but the most interesting for myself was a discussion given by Jann Haworth.

Jann, along with her former husband, designed the cover of The Sgt. Pepper’s Lonley Hearts Club Band album back in the 1960s. Along with many tales she shared about the Beatles and the album cover, the most amusing story she told concerned getting written permission from the various (living) celebrities that were to have their likenesses

included on the cover. Having written and asked permission from Mae West, the legendary sex symbol/actress responded by asking why she would have any association with a Lonely Hearts Club. Thankfully, an explanation of the album cover’s concept was given and her classic image is included for eternity.

Perhaps the most epic event for all of us occurred at the Natural History Museum of Utah where we spent an evening with a living legend in our profession, the great Pat Oliphant. Oliphant has been doing editorial cartoons since most of us were eating crayons. He charmed and delighted us at 77 years young in his Australian and tales of the good ol’ days when newspapers were abundant and lampooning former President Richard Nixon in caricature was a daily delight.

Overall, I found my first AAEC convention to be phenomenal with respect to the people I met. It’s an amazing and satisfying feeling to be surrounded by so many people I admire (many of them Pulitzer Prize recipients); I came to realize they already knew of me and my work before I arrived.

I left Carmel as a fan of all these talented and passionate people and returned from Salt Lake as their friend. I can’t wait for next year’s convention.

She pulls her in every time

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

I confess. This past weekend I committed a cardinal sin of parenting. No, I didn’t divulge Yogurtz plans to a toddler before humor we were actually pulling into the parking lot (that would be madness!) or retract a disciplinary verdict once the tears began (their tears, not mine), but I did break a mommy rule that I constantly critique other parents for disregarding. And though it pains me to admit that I am, on occasion, less than perfect, I’m hoping you can learn from my mistake. Here it goes.

I engaged in an irrational argument with my 9-year-old daughter. There. I said it. I know, I know, I wasn’t in a good place when I went to check on her, and I should have walked away as soon as I saw that she was safe. But I was tired and irritable and as soon as she began crying and screaming, well . . . I just got sucked right in.

Something about how I had lied to her and had broken my promise of staying away from people who smoke, including my husband Doo (because now I was going to die from lung cancer) . . . ugh, she made me so angry that I jumped right into the crazy and treated her as if she were a hostile, adult witness.

Of course, as soon as I removed myself from the controversial situation, albeit way too late, I thought, “You’re an idiot, Danielle.” Doo concurred.

“You know better than to engage her! She’s a

drama queen. She’s going to push all of your buttons so she can get and keep your attention.”

I hate it when he’s right.

I honestly think God gave me a gorgeous little girl/future Oscar winner as penance for my tendency to judge others’ parenting decisions. Not to their faces, of course. That’s just mean. But behind closed doors unfortunately, analyzing the way other people handle their children is, and always has been, one of my favorite pastimes.

(At least it’s not porn!) In my defense, I empathize now, too, though that piece of maturity apparently goes unnoticed by God as He seems to enjoy watching me struggle almost daily with a precocious tween.

It’s just so much harder to squelch tantrums when you’re emotionally involved. I have no issue dealing with nieces and nephews when they lose their wheels, but as soon as it’s one of mine, in particular a daughter, I can’t seem to stay “above the fray.” I completely disregard the “Shallow Water” sign and dive in head first.

Stupid.

We all have our parenting challenges; mine is avoiding middle-school arguments with my children. Ah, well. Who wants Yogurtz? Peace out.

Saturday night cat attack special Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

As of this past Saturday morning, I had nothing to write about. Then the cat bit my wife. I know, a cat bite is nothing humor to make fun of. Neither was my lung biopsy, but I managed to crank out an entire humor column about that several weeks ago.

Mary Ellen had pretty much forgotten about the feline attack, but that night after dinner with friends, she casually mentioned the redness on her ankle while on the way home in the car. Bob and Cathy, both armed with their iPhones, were in the back seat googling away, entering phrases like: Fatal cat bites and, lethal kitten puncture wounds.

Once Bob and Cathy had convinced my wife that the swelling was either pasteurella multocida or staphylococcus aureus, we headed for the nearest walk-in med center. I know that’s a really dumb way to spend a Saturday night with friends, but with my wife’s excellent health insurance, it was actually a cheaper evening than all four of us going to the movies.

Before she was treated, Mary Ellen had to fill out a form. The first part was titled “Victim Information.” The second section was labeled “If the Victim Was an Animal,” which is either the kind of man-bites-dog story I’m always looking for as a reporter, or if it’s a dog bites dog story, then I want to be there with a news

crew when Fido picks up a pen and fills out that form.

The receptionist said there was a long line to see the doctor and requested that Mary Ellen put herself on the waiting list and come back in an hour or so. I told the nurse that the next time my wife needed medical attention like this, we’d try to call about 45 minutes before she planned to torment the cat. Mary Ellen did not think that was funny.

Cats and dogs aren’t the only attacking culprits. In fact, one part of the form provided a list of species that could potentially bite a human.

They were in alphabetical order, so the first one on the list was bats, and number two was cattle (which I think would be embarrassing to admit to.) Okay, maybe a mad cow, but how do you let an entire herd bite you?

When we finally saw the doctor, he confirmed the potential severity of a cat wound and suggested that an X-ray be taken to be sure the ankle bone had not been penetrated.

Cathy, who was by now the leading cat bite expert in Central Indiana, wanted to know why that procedure was necessary. “Because the cat is now missing two front teeth,” I told her.

AUTISM CLINIC OF INDIANA

New hope for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADD and ADHD Highly Trained Medical Staff • Advanced Individualized Treatment Options • Most Major Medical Insurance Plans Accepted Genetic Consultation • Review of Medical records • Laboratory testing “While early intervention is critical, ASD Treatment Clinic taught us it is never too late with children on the Autism Spectrum. We have three teenage children on the spectrum with varying ranges of disabilities. With Genetic Consultants of Indiana, ASD Treatment Clinic we learned what was happening to our children from the inside out. I call it our roadmap. We found out what our children needed without guessing or trying experimental treatments.

Plus we loved that our major medical insurance was accepted.” - Bob & Sharon Smith, IN

“A child sneaks out of the house, runs away, is hyper, has minimal focus and can’t socialize with friends for more than a minute. That used to be our son, Jack.

• SOCIALIZATION: Why is my child having difficulty making friends?

• IMPULSIVENESS: Why doesn’t my child understand consequences of his/her actions?

• FOCUSING: Why does my child have problems paying attention in school and at home?

• HYPERACTIVITY: Why can’t my child sit still, and has trouble getting to sleep or staying asleep?

• ANGER: Why does my child display such anger and gets out of control with his/her emotions?

If you can relate to any of these questions there is help.

15

People think the answer to autism and ADHD are psychiatric medicines, but we knew that was only going to cover up his real symptoms. Despite this, we tried several mainstream treatments that produced little to no results. In the six months that Jack has been on the protocol through ASD Treatment Clinics, he has experienced much improvement with his focus, learning ability, behavior and overall wellbeing.

Early intervention is very important for children on the autism spectrum and we thank God that we were led to the ASD Treatment Clinic. Jack now has a treatment that we can trust will improve not only his life but the lives of our entire family.”

SOR musicians hit the road

By Kathleen Devaney • editorial@youarecurrent.com Just like Jack Black got his band to battle in the movie “School of Rock,” Carmel’s own School of Rock battled it out June 29 and 30 at Summerfest, “the world’s largest music Music festival” in Milwaukee, Wisc.

SOR bands played stages at Summerfest among artists like Pitbull, The Silversun Pickups, Alice Cooper and others. This year’s Battle of the Bands competition was called Gemba (which is Japanese for the “real place.”)

There were 30 bands representing 21 Schools of Rock from across the country competing. The winner of the entire SOR competition hailed from Seattle, Washington.

While SOR Carmel may not have made it into the six final bands to compete, the school of just more than a year old rocked out and played perfectly.

“We were proud of our kids,” said the owner of SOR Carmel Steve McFarland. “In the end, the kids got an experience most musicians would kill for... playing on big stages at the largest music festival in the world, they met new friends, and saw just how good they can become when they stick with it.”

SOR Carmel played six songs from a variety of artists.

“Our covers of Led Zepplin, Soundgarden and the Doobie Brothers were flawless,” McFarland said.

Bands were judged by members of the Cold War Kids, the guitarist from Bowie, the drummer from Stray Cats and others.

SOR Carmel consisted of 13 band members, ages ranging from 11 to 17 years old. Members played with different members depending on each song.

“We don’t actually put kids in bands, we cast a show,” McFarland said.

Since SOR Carmel has been open, bands have played venues such as Old National Centre, The Hard Rock café Indianapolis and the Van’s Warped Tour.

The drummer for SOR Carmel, Cameron McLenaghen, said he was excited for Summerfest because it’s a good opportunity.

“I’ve played a lot of shows before so I’m not nervous,” he said.

SOR Carmel of whom has about 100 students, all mostly joined at beginners experience levels.

Swine flu threat changes policies

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

According to the Indiana Board of Animal Health, 29 pigs from the Grant and Hancock counties fairs have wellness tested positive for variant influenza A (H3N2v), causing 12 human cases of swine flu as of July 3. To ensure the safety of Hamilton County 4-H Fair patrons, organizers are taking extra precautions – “over and above what the Indiana Board of Animal Health have recommended” according to Bill Rice, Hamilton County ag and natural resources extension educator.

“We understand a lot of people want to see the animals but we’re just trying to think of their safety,” he said. “We’re discussing asking the public not to enter the (swine) barn. This is all part of public health safety to protect them.”

Patrons should know that you can’t get swine flu from eating pork products. It’s a respiratory virus that’s passed the same way any other flu is spread, through droplet infection. Since there is no vaccine available for people to protect against this virus, the best way to prevent infection is to avoid sources of exposure to the virus.

Rice said animal move-in day is July 17, before the start of the 4-H fair on July 18, but this year all swine will not be allowed on the fairgrounds until July 19. The incubation time is estimated at 72 hours and IBAH officials say the shorter amount of contact hogs have together the less likely the influenza A will pass from animal to animal. Rice added that like all animals, swine will be subjected to a check from a veterinarian before being allowed in the barn.

“Those animals not going to the livestock auction will leave Monday morning,” he said.

Unlike many counties, Rice said Hamilton County is requiring that their swine have two doses of the influenza A vaccination – with the last dose administered before June 30.

“We’ll have a signed, notarized affidavit to that affect,” he said. “With the 72-hour period and vaccination protocol, we’ve certainly minimized

the risk,” In addition to an increased number of hand sanitizer stations at barn entrances and across the fairgrounds, Rice also suggests that parents with young children carry them when walking through barns.

“They are at the same level of the animals breathing and try to touch them,” he said.

Emily Peterson and her sister, Jenna, have two hogs each. Both are aware of the rule changes this year.

“I think the shots are a good thing because it prevents the disease in the barn,” Emily said.

“People come to the fair to see the animals.”

Both girls said the biggest change will be the care of their animals. Since both show more than one species, move-in day is usually a long one as they prepare the temporary living quarters for their animals. This year, they will have to go through the process twice and care for their swine at home as their animals are at the fair.

“We usually stay at the fair until 10:30 or 11 o’clock,” Jenna said, adding she’ll have to wake up earlier and leave the fair earlier when her hogs are not at the fairgrounds.

Variant influenza A H3N2v was identified in Indiana last year, with a total of 138 cases in 2012.

Is your jewelry protected?

Commentary by Jamie Ianigro

Question from Anonymous from Zionsville: I’m getting ready to buy an expensive piece of jewelry. What do I need to do to make sure it’s properly protected?

Insurance Response from Jamie Ianigro: Congratulations! I hope you get the answer you’re hoping for. As you have recently realized, jewelry is high-valued, easily lost or destroyed and vulnerable to theft.

Jewelry is covered on a standard home policy, but usually has a special limit on the total amount of coverage (usually a few hundred dollars). It doesn’t sound like a few hundred dollars is going to cover your potential purchase. Luckily, there are a few options available to protect your jewelry.

Adding an endorsement to your home policy is the easiest way to protect your jewelry, but you can also purchase a separate policy or roll the dice and leave it uninsured. When deciding which method you are going to go with, there are a few questions you should keep in mind: • Does the coverage consider jewelry values that increase over time?

• Does it cover mysterious disappearance (it’s gone, but you don’t know when or how it disappeared)?

• What causes of loss does the policy cover and exclude?

The next thing you need to figure out is what your piece of jewelry is worth. Since this item will be newly purchased, you have a store receipt or certificate from the jeweler. If you don’t have a receipt or the item has not been appraised recently, it’s time to seek out an expert and get an updated appraisal. Sometimes a jewelry store that you frequent will offer free appraisals, but usually you have to pay for an appraiser’s services. The American Society of Appraisers is a good resource if you’re looking for an appraiser. You can use the “Find an Appraiser” feature on their appraisers.org website.

It is common practice to have your appraisals updated every three to five years. In addition, there are a few other things you should consider doing: • Take photos of your jewelry from several angles • Keep original receipts and appraisals • Consider keeping your jewelry in a hidden safe or storage area Make sure you’re not being overprotective though. Jewelry is bought to be worn and can’t be enjoyed sitting in a safe.

Jamie Ianigro is with Shepherd Insurance & Finanacial Services.

Teotihuacan is an ideal solution for pyramid seekers. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Mexico’s pyramids rival Egypt’s Commentary by Don Knebel

For anyone with an insatiable desire to see ancient pyramids and for whom a trip to Egypt is out of the question, Travel a trip to Mexico offers an ideal solution. Just a few miles from Mexico City are the monumental pyramids of Teotihuacan, one of the world’s most important cities during the first millennium.

Teotihuacan was founded as a religious center on a highlands plateau in about 200 B.C. By 600 A.D., Teotihuacan had a population of up to 200,000, making it the largest city in what are now the Americas and the sixth largest city in the world, about a third the size of Constantinople. Multi-story apartment buildings accommodated the large urban population, which included skilled potters and artists whose remarkably well preserved murals are still on display.

Teotihuacan’s brick and stone pyramids are connected by a broad boulevard. The Pyramid of the Sun, constructed in about 100 A.D. along the boulevard, is the third largest pyramid in the world. At 733 feet per side, its base is about the size of that of the Great Pyramid of Giza but it rises only half as high. The Pyramids of the Moon and of the Feathered Serpent, at opposite

ends of the boulevard, are smaller but equally impressive.

The pyramids of Teotihuacan were built as places of worship, with temples to influential gods on their flattened summits. Bodies buried in the pyramids with their hands tied have been interpreted as sacrifices to those gods, probably made at the times the temples were dedicated.

Teotihuacan collapsed in the seventh or eighth centuries. When Aztecs later discovered the ruins, they gave the city its current name, which means “the birthplace of the gods.” Mistaking the pyramids for tombs, they named its boulevard the “Avenue of the Dead.”

Americans often assume they must cross an ocean to see the important cities of antiquity.

But at about the time Rome was falling to the barbarians, Teotihuacan in nearby Mexico rivaled the great cities of the world in size and influence. A trip there provides the bonus of seeing a collection of pyramids whose only real rivals are in Egypt.

What about the Oxford comma?

Commentary by Jordan Fischer

Question: “Have the rules for serial commas changed? When I was in school, it was ‘red, white and blue’ (the grammar guy second comma being unnecessary with the ‘and’), but in my children’s school books, it appears to be ‘red, white, and blue.’ Is there a rule about this?” (David Ballard) Answer: Thanks for writing in, David. The serial, or Oxford, comma is a popular point of contention between writers and grammar enthusiasts. It’s also the name of a popular single by the band “Vampire Weekend,” but that’s not really germane to this column.

To answer your question: Yes, there is a rule about the serial comma – many of them. Which rule you abide by tends to be decided by what country you’re in or what style guide you follow.

The “Chicago Manual of Style,” Strunk and White’s “Elements of Style,” and the AMA and APA stylebooks all mandate the use of the serial comma.

It is also mandated by the “Oxford Style Manual” (thus an “Oxford comma”). The typical reasoning behind using the serial comma is to create

3

uniformity and to eliminate ambiguity about the relationship between the last two items in a series.

On the flip side, omitting the serial comma has its proponents as well: “The New York Times Stylebook;” the AP Stylebook (used by the vast, vast majority of newspapers and magazines in the U.S.); the style guide of “The Economist,” the “Cambridge Guide to English Usage;” etc. Why not use the serial comma? The argument goes that it is redundant in simple lists since there is already a conjunction separating the last two items.

On this particular grammar debate, in the end it’s a matter of choice and consistency. If you’re writing for a medical journal, or following the Chicago (or agreeing) style guide, use the serial comma. If you’re writing for a newspaper or magazine, omit the serial comma. Otherwise, pick a side, grab a style book and join the debate. Nobody likes a fight like grammar nerds.

Recently, I was shown a fabric that a client had hoped to use to recover her sofa. The fabric was purchased from the decorating clearance rack at a local fabric store and met her need for a color match. She wanted my blessings before moving forward.

Without saying a word, I took her swatch and with just five scrapes of a fingernail, I was able to dig a hole in the fabric.

Needless to say, this was not a textile suitable for upholstery usage. It might have worked for a drapery application but it would have been a complete disaster on furniture.

Upholstery fabrics have to withstand the lifestyle of those in the home. They are typically made of durable fibers and often backed with latex for stability.

The durability of an upholstery candidate is indicated by a double rub factor. This is also referred to as the Wyzenbeek factor which is a testing system that indicates the ability of a fabric to resist surface wear caused by rubbing contact with another fabric – 15,000 is the minimum for heavy duty upholstery usage.

Fiber blends are frequently the best choice as the negatives of one fiber can be balanced by a positive of another. Linen that is blended with polyester will be far more resilient to wrinkling, and polyester that is paired with cotton has a nicer sheen than poly alone.

Upholstery is intended for the long haul so the pattern is just as important to consider. A floral or plaid all over a sofa or sectional can be overwhelming. A solid texture is an ideal choice as the accent pillows can be changed as tastes change.

Ideal window treatment fabrics will feature different qualities. An ideal textile depends on the room and the application. Fabrics for drapery can be loose and delicate while a cornice or shade can be stiffer or coarse.

The drapability of a fabric is indicated by “the hand.” This term simply means the way the fabric feels when it is touched and how it drapes when held. Descriptions such as softness, crispness, dryness and silkiness are all terms that

Do you equip or enable others?

Commentary by Kristen Boice

Do you tend to make excuses for the behavior or choices of others? Do you want to rescue or save others? Do you relationships want to help people and end up feeling exhausted? Are you working harder than the other person? Do you do things for others or stuff your feelings just to keep the peace? Do you rationalize or minimize other people’s choices or behavior in order to keep from being embarrassed?

These are all key questions when exploring whether or not you are an enabler.

What exactly does it mean to be an enabler?

Enablers have good intentions of helping other people yet they provide solutions and fix things for others preventing them from suffering their own consequences. Ultimately, people never learn the lessons they need to make better choices and grow. Enablers end up doing the work for them and the person floats along without solving their problems.

There is a big difference between enabling and equipping people. When we equip someone, we give the person the information or guidance and then let that person make their own decisions. We let go of the outcome and understand it is out of our control and the other person has to want to help themselves.

We also let the person know they can handle it on their own. We understand we are doing a

disservice to another if we try to save or rescue them. They have to want to help themselves. We model what it looks like to have good boundaries by saying “No” when necessary. There is an understanding that we are all responsible for our own decisions. We empower others to step into who they are and help them learn from every decision they make.

On the other hand, an enabler tends to want to save and rescue others. Enabling doesn’t allow the other person to make their own choices and understand the connection to the consequences. Many people have to learn from experience to not repeat the same mistakes. Enablers have a hard time seeing someone struggle and learn from their own choices. They take responsibility for other’s choices and somehow feel responsible themselves.

We can often see an enabling pattern with parents. The best job we can do as parents is equip our children so they can make the best choices. Let them learn from their own choices and understand the cause and effect between choices and consequences both positive and negative. Ask yourself, “Am I equipping or enabling them?” before taking action.

Since it is bikini season, focusing on your abs can result in quick toning if paired with proper cardiovascular activity. Pair this toning ab workout with three to five days of cardiovascular exercise. You might surprise yourself with incredible results!

SWISS SPORTS SWING Lie back, knees bent, feet flat on floor, arms at sides, palms down. Extend right arm overhead and left leg straight out, then bring right hand and left foot up toward each other as you curl your upper back off floor. Exhale; lower. Do 20 reps, then repeat on opposite side.

TRUNK TWISTER Stand with feet together, arms down, elbows bent to 90 degrees. Jump about 6 inches to left as you twist torso right 45 degrees. Repeat in opposite direction for 1 rep. Do 3 sets of 20 as fast as you can.

HIP SWIVEL Get into a plank position, resting on forearms with your hands clasped. Lift butt toward ceiling while rotating left hip toward floor; return to plank. Repeat on right side for 1 rep. Do 3 sets of 20.

Admire your rock-star abs in the mirror.

Gel – Gel is great for almost every hair type and it will provide control and shine, while also enhancing volume. Ideal for spiking shorter hair, or laying down longer hair. Hold = 4 (Salon 01 suggests Gage Shaping Gel).

Cream – Creams are less shiny then gels or pomades and work best on medium to long hair of any texture to build volume and density. Hold = 4 (Salon 01 suggests Gage Shaping Cream).

Paste – Use this if you have thick and/or straight hair to improve texture and to achieve maximum control. Hold = 5 (Salon 01 suggests Gage Shaping Paste).

SALON 01 Q&A: YOU ASKED, WE ANSWER! “How can I get smoother hair without damaging it?”

We have a couple options at Salon 01 to get the smooth, silky hair you desire!

The first is the Keratin Complex Smoothing Treatment or the Express Keratin Blowout. These services infuse keratin into your hair’s cuticles without overloading your hair with chemicals. The treatments are then sealed in with high heat from a flat iron. Generally, the results from these treatments last about six to eight weeks, depending on how well you maintain the upkeep regimens.

The second option, which has become our most popular, is the Brazilian Blowout. This service enriches hair with amino acids and acai berry extract and creates a smooth silky finish that lasts up to 12 weeks. Each of these treatments will eliminate frizz in your hair as well as reduce drying and styling time.

Simple solutions can also be smart choices

Commentary by Randy Sorrell

For printing your a quote next job. on CALL TODAY US

PC or MAC? Me, I’m a Mac junkie. Our business and family successfully transitioned a few years ago after an avalanche outdoors of viruses and clunky programs. We have been thrilled with the ease and how solutions seem to flow naturally.

Our creative “green” industry is ripe for forward programs and the elegant Apple world.

The biography of Steve Jobs, authored by Walter Isaacson, celebrates the brilliance of simplifying, among other progressive views, and his fruitarian lifestyle. His outrageously strong opinion proved that when implemented correctly, simple can also be very smart. Easy to operate. Gorgeous. Stunning.

Simple. Smart. Brilliant.

Curiously, the same can be said regarding outdoor living spaces and the design thereof. Complicated spaces can be a challenge to navigate and difficult to appreciate. Our interpretation of this brilliant simplicity translates to oversized patio landings, gracious step systems with flowing treads/risers, clean materials, natural stone, the use of anything real, repurposing where appropriate and plants that perform multiple functions (shade, privacy, color, fragrance, intrigue).

The featured natural boulder retaining wall is oddly synonymous to the PC or MAC dilemma.

Sure, the wall could have been constructed out

The five-ton Indian Hill boulders simply, but smartly, hold the hot tub and patio in place. (Submitted photo)

of popular segmental retaining wall stone that frequents many neighbors’ back yards as seat walls (included elsewhere in this project). But, the locally sourced, five tons of Indian Hill boulders installed quickly, confidently holds the hot tub and patio in place, screams color, provides unique texture and looks stunning as the dragons blood creeping sedum and yellow moonbeam coreopsis make themselves at home. Which would you rather have?

We understand the sadness associated with losing a beloved pet. When the need arises we offer compassionate pick up of your pet from your home or veterinarian's clinic; private cremation or burial assistance.

Our pet memorial center offers a dedicated Rememberance Room to say your last good bye and receive your pet's cremains in privacy. Our Sanctuary is available for life celebrations, visitation and funerals.

Subway tiles are still a good choice

Commentary by David Decker

Subway tiles have been a go-to design choice in kitchens and bathrooms for generations.

These rectangular shaped indoors tiles are excellent for creating a current, contemporary look that still feels very timeless. Today, subway tiles are being used in backsplash designs, flooring and more.

The subway tile design first debuted in the New York City underground subway system back in the early 1900’s. The sleek, contemporary design quickly caught on with the general public, and soon the entire country was decorating kitchens and bathrooms with these “subway” tiles. Back then, most subway tiles were made from ceramic, measured 3 x 6 inches, and came in white. The key to their popularity was their ability to make any room look more open and airy. Plus, they were stain resistant and easy to keep clean, which was a huge bonus for homeowners who didn’t have the luxuries of modern cleaning equipment.

More than 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, because it is easy to clean and maintain, but subway tiles can be found in almost every color, texture and finish imaginable, you can be sure that there is an option available to match any home décor. Manufacturers have even

reworked the 3 x 6 inch size standard.

Now, almost any rectangular tile with a height twice its length is classified as a “subway tile.”

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 Subway tiles are easy to maintain. (Submitted photo) such as laundry rooms, basements and fireplace designers have used subway tiles to create dissurrounds. Many people love the way they can create sleek, modern looking backsplashes or tile tinctive border or frame patterns. Place a border around the shower area, or frame your bathroom surrounds. Visually, the shape of the tile tends vanity space. And don’t forget, these types of tile to draw the eye upward, which makes the space accents are a great way throw in a pop of color seem wider and the ceilings appear higher. This that won’t overwhelm the space. is especially true for the larger-sized subway tiles. Large-scale tile is becoming increasingly David Decker is president of the popular because its size tricks the eye into makAffordable Companies, which include ing the room look larger than it really is.
