Morse Beach ends 2012 season early

By Stephanie Simpson • editorial@youarecurrent.com Due to the low and receding water levels caused by this summer’s drought, Morse Beach has had to close for the rest of the 2012 season. Normally, the beach would be open daily until Aug. 14 and thereafter would be open on weekends until Labor Day. Lifeguards and season pass holders are greatly Morse Beach affected by early closing. Allen Patterson, director of Hamilton County Parks and Recreation Dept., which runs the beach, said that lifeguards were given the option to stay on staff to help close down the beach. Those who agreed to stay are now working on various projects to get the area ready for next year’s summer season.

Such maintenance activities include putting equipment away, repairing ropes and buoys and painting the bathhouse. As for the few summer pass holders, Patterson is still discussing how to best handle the situation.

Closing early isn’t something entirely new for Morse Beach. In Patterson’s 20 years in the department, he recalled the beach having to close due to drought conditions one time before. Additionally, during this previous early closing, there was less water than the beach has now.

So for the rest of the summer, residents will have to cool off in local pools and splash parks and look forward to the opening of Morse Beach in 2013.

Peterson wins best in show in first year

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

For the past two years, Jenna Peterson competed in the mini 4-H program. In her first year as a 4-H member, the 9-year-old daughter of John and Susan Peterson won Grand Champion in Home Environment.

“It’s a Grand Champion purple ribbon,” the Husky 4-Hers club member exclaimed to her mother and older sister, Emily, when she saw the results after judging.

Each age-based group has a champion and reserve champion. Of those, the top two projects are awarded Grand Champion and Reserve Grand Champion placing.

“It’s exciting because when you are a beginner, it’s hard to win because there are so many older people doing it,” Jenna said of being named best in show. “I was shocked.”

Jenna said the Home Environment project teaches 4-H’ers “how to remodel things that are not really useful.” For her project, Jenna transformed an old Navy artillery case into a school supplies trunk.

“She was covered in dark paint when she was sanding,” Susan said of her youngest daughter.

A day for the dogs

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

The first 4-H project occurred before the county fair officially opened. Inside the air conditioned Llama Barn, members of the dog project participated in dog obedience on July 16. This is the fourth year Amy Grace Clark of Carmel has competed with her collie, Sierra.

“I just enjoy doing it with my dog and doing stuff with my dog,” she said.

Members in the dog project learn about canine care, training, nutrition and health.

The dog project also consists of the 4-H Dog Agility contest, which will begin at 8:30 a.m.

Saturday in the Llama Barn. While all dog

project participants must complete dog obedience, dog agility is optional. Dog obedience focuses on training, commands and hand signals. Dog agility courses include weave poles, hoops, jumps and other obstacles.

“I definitely prefer agility,” said Clark.

“You get to do a course, your dog enjoys it more because there’s lots of obstacles and more interaction.”

4-H Queen Pageant Huber named 2012 4-H Fair Queen

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

Kelly Schuetter

The final 4-H fair for any 10-year member is always memorable, but for Arcadia’s Sarah Huber, it was “shocking.” Huber was crowned the 2012 Hamilton County 4-H Fair Queen, beating out 22 other contestants.

“When they first called my name I was really surprised and incredibly excited,” she said. “It’s such an incredible moment – it’s overwhelming.”

Huber, the daughter of Doug and Bernie Huber, said the fact she was the newest county queen didn’t hit her until the following day when she thought about the gallery of Hamilton County 4-H queen photos hanging inside the fair office.

“What an honor it is to be queen and have your picture up there,” she said. “It’s the crowning moment of my 4-H career.”

Looking back at her 10 years as a member of the Huskey 4-H’ers 4-H Club, Huber said she’s really grown and knows how hard volunteers have helped her and other 4-H’ers.

“I appreciate how much 4-H has taught me,” she said.

Since this was her final fair as a participant, Huber said she was looking forward to handing out ribbons as queen and experiencing that “really exciting moment” when students get recognition for their hard work.

“I get to go to shows I haven’t been to at the

Makaila Osborne Sarah Huber fair,” she said. “I’ll learn more about what it’s like to show animals and the process.”

This year was Huber’s first time as a queen contestant.

“I wanted to do it for several years but was so busy with volleyball,” she said. “My 4-H leader and mom encouraged me to participate.”

The 4-H Fair Queen Court included Makaila Osborne of Sheridan, first runner-up; Christy Kettler of Westfield, second runner-up; Kelly Moorhous of Arcadia, third runner-up; and Kyleigh Kimbrell of Fishers, fourth runner-up and Miss Congeniality.

“It’s even more fun to be with the girls on the court,” Huber said.

Cover story

Westfield’s Kendra Lancaster talks about preparing to represent the U.S. in the London 2012 Paralympic Games

By Jordan Fischer • jordan@youarecurrent.com Karen Lancaster has simple advice for parents with handicapped or disabled children: “Never let them say ‘I can’t.’”

In August, that attitude will be taking her oldest daughter, Kendra, to the London 2012 Paralympic Games, where she will join the U.S. Women’s Sitting Volleyball Team in competing for a gold medal. Kendra has worn a prosthesis on her left arm since childhood due to a congenital amputation.

This year will be Kendra’s third trip to the Paralympic Games: she won a bronze medal with the team in 2004 at the Athens games, and a silver medal in 2008 at Beijing.

‘A fun kid to have’

“Kendra was a pretty rambunctious girl,” Karen said, adding that she and Kendra’s father Kent encouraged her to stay active. “She would try anything. She was not afraid of trying new things. She was really, really smart, and pretty adaptive.”

In school, Kendra “did everything,” according to her mother. “Everything” included soccer, basketball and, eventually, volleyball.

“When she found volleyball in middle school, she kind of found what her true love was,” Karen said. “I always tried to push her toward soccer, because soccer for her would have been a little easier, but she wasn’t a big fan of soccer. She loved volleyball.”

At Westfield High School, Kendra played on the varsity volleyball team, and she continued her love of the sport into club leagues at Purdue University.

“I was really lucky to have coaches that were willing to work with me on techniques,” Kendra said. “Even now, I’m having to make those adaptations because I can’t do things with my hands that my teammates with two hands can. It’s an extra challenge, but I don’t have any trouble meeting it. I just need some extra time.”

Her sophomore year of college, one of those coaches suggested to Kendra that she try out for the U.S. Paralympic team. So, along with her mother, she flew to Colorado to attend a training camp. Until she got there, however, Kendra said she didn’t know the team played a sitting variant of the game.

“Her whole life, she has never been quoteunquote handicapped,” Karen said. “I think that was just part of the way we raised her. She always played stand-up volleyball. I think she never identified as handicapped or disabled, and here she was playing with all of these handicapped and disabled kids. I think it kind of unnerved her.”

“It was a really hard transition,” Kendra said. “I remember going back to our hotel room at first and just crying because I wanted to go home.”

But, she said, her mother encouraged her to stick it out.

“She was always supportive no matter what I did,” Kendra said. “And she’s probably the only reason I stuck with the sitting team.”

Current in Westfield

Kendra did stick with it, though, eventually being asked to join the team for the 2004 Paralympic Games in Athens, a season that was eyeopening for her, she said.

“We were an underdog that year,” Kendra remembered. “We were so bad compared to the other teams that they just stomped us. So when we showed up and started beating the good teams, it surprised a lot of people.”

The team took home the bronze medal on Kendra’s first Paralympic run and a silver medal in 2008. This year, she said, they have their eyes set on the top prize.

“In 2004 we just wanted to medal, and even that was kind of a reach for us,” Kendra said.

“This time around, I don’t think we’ll be satisfied with anything less than gold.”

Kendra has spent most of her summer traveling back and forth from Edmond, Okla., where the team trains at the University of Central Oklahoma. Her mother, who works as a bus driver for the Westfield School System, has been fundraising to bring Kendra’s grandmother, her younger sister Kelsie and herself to watch the London games this fall.

Though her mind is firmly set on the upcoming competition, Kendra has spared a few moments to think about life after London.

“I’ve been thinking about when it will be time to retire and move on,” she said. “After my car accident last year, and it taking me out for a whole year, I’m not sure I’m ready to give it up after what it took me to get back into it.”

Regardless, Kendra said she’ll be following her personal philosophy of trying to live in the moment.

“Nothing’s going to stop me,” she said. “I’ll always find a way to do what I want.”

The Paralympic games run Aug. 29 to Sept. 9. www.currentinwestfield.com

VIEWS

Opinion

Brightpoint HQ

It is our position that the pending sale of locally-based cell phone distributor Brightpoint is a significant concern for the entire Central Indiana region. Certainly protection of jobs for the 1,300 workers in Plainfield is paramount, but even if headcount remains steady the loss will be felt throughout the community.

Corporate headquarters provide much more than just a sense of local pride. Support of local philanthropy and leadership in community activities are concentrated around a company’s decision makers. When those decisions are being made in other states, as will happen when the Brightpoint sale is completed, corporate engagement will inevitably diminish.

Even if most local jobs are initially preserved, the longer-term trend can be expected to disfavor Central Indiana. No doubt this area offers a competitive location for distribution hubs, but just as certainly Brightpoint CEO Bob Laikin wanted his facilities to be close to him and to benefit his community. Our home-court advantage will be absent when future decisions of this sort are being made in California.

Mr. Laikin and his team are to be commended for the business they built and the local support they’ve shown. We hope that they continue to be involved and advocate on behalf of Central Indiana while other entrepreneurs fill any voids left by Brightpoint’s HQ relocation.

Watering restrictions are serious business

Negative space Commentary by Terry Anker Decorators refer to it as negative space – the absence of something, often clutter, which in its void makes apparent the more sublime elements of the arrangement. The point is that the deficiency of distraction allows one to focus on the essential elements of our environs with greatest clarity.

Such is the case with the emerging understanding of my eldest. Now participating in a program through his school that arranges and chaperones an annual exchange program with its sister school in Japan, he finds himself 16 years old and now residing with a host family half way around the globe. Yet thanks to the wonders of Internet communication and ubiquitous Wi-Fi, we are able to solicit a daily update on his travails. Food is first on his list of daily observations – for anyone who has experience with teenage boys this comes as no surprise. Then comes comment on architecture, culture and people. But this week, he Tweeted something to the world (a Tweet is

an Internet-posted comment that is visible to all of his followers and to millions more who prowl these locales) that highlights the lucidity that only comes from great distance. He discovered, as many have before him, that one travels to learn about other countries, but instead learns as much or more about their own.

I am anxious to discover what he’s garnered.

Did he find a new understanding of American exceptionalism; or instead, did he find an ancient culture more refined and transcendent than our own? Perhaps the depth of his insight will be limited to noticing that the Japanese eat more fish and less beef. Regardless, he is learning that much is gained from perspective. It inspires me to get outside of myself and try to gain a little distance from my own beliefs. Wish me luck.

Westfield, as you might know, correctly has issued mandatory watering restrictions. Not only does this keep the supply from further dwindling, but it also keeps the water pressure up for firefighting measures. Please do your part. To ignore the restrictions could place the city’s water system in great peril. So, if your address is evennumbered, you may irrigate only on Mondays and Wednesdays, odd-numbered on Tuesdays and Thursdays. That is all that’s allowed. If you see anyone in violation, file a report with Public Works Customer Service at 804-3150. For more information, visit www.westfield.in.gov.

••• Through our untrained political eyes, we view President Barack Obama actually defining what challenger Mitt Romney represents for and to the American people. If that truly is the case, Romney had best assert himself, or it’ll be lights out before the game ever begins. It’s something for all of us to watch. Tell us if you disagree.

••• A friend recently told us his daughter is fired up for school, which, for her, begins next Monday. She attends a private school, but still, whatever happened to summer? Back in the day, which is how it should be today, we were out the first Friday in June, back the day after Labor Day. If this kid we know wanted to go to summer camp, for instance, she would have barely made it to the fourth of the traditional eight weeks – given most camps’ calendars. There is too much time off during the year. We believe 180 days can be achieved and still give the kids a full summer.

••• The Department of Energy, which was created in 1977 to lessen our dependence on foreign oil, has beefed up to 16,000 employees and an annual budget of $29.5 billion. Oh, and we now import oil more than ever. What a joke!

Sounds like a “green” initiative to us.

Sorry for the name calling, not stance Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Wow. I just returned from vacation where I was thankfully unable to access my e-mail, or should I say “hate mail.” I knew I’d upset some folks when I wrote a column on immunizations, I just didn’t think the response would be quite so intense. I haven’t received this much backlash since my controversial articles on homeschooling in 2009. [See Current archives for some fun reads!] I suppose when I attack parenting choices, however, I deserve it.

That being said, I won’t apologize for my opinions on immunizations, though I will say I’m sorry for branding people who choose not to immunize as “idiots.” That was an unprofessional comment based purely on emotion. You certainly have the right to choose what’s best for your children, and like I said in the article, I support you 100 percent in that capacity. I don’t agree with your choice at all, but that doesn’t give me the right to call you an idiot, at least not in public.

Most of the hate mail was from parents of autistic children, so let me address them first. I personally know several families with an autistic child. It is a devastating diagnosis and can drastically alter the lives of everyone involved.

I don’t blame you for looking for a reason for why your child is different. I am surprised, however, that so many of you truly believe there is a global conspiracy among governments and pharmaceutical companies to not only suppress

any connection between immunizations and autism, but to possibly bring back the plague for population control and profit. Really? Clearly I have misjudged the CDC and Eli Lilly.

And although most of the physicians and nurses who wrote in agreed with me, I did receive some negative comments from medical professionals, saying I knew nothing of science.

“Why do you even care if your kids are vaccinated?” I care because even vaccinated children can get sick (that much I do know), and I really don’t want my household to be quarantined for a month because some unvaccinated kid brought measles to the local elementary school.

Finally, let me remind all of you who constantly complain about my lack of professional journalism that I’M NOT A PROFESSIONAL JOURNALIST, nor do I claim to be! My column is posted under opinion or humor, not hard news. I write about what I think as a resident of Indianapolis suburbia. And contrary to what several readers believe, I don’t wear Prada or drive a Cadi, nor do I channel Hitler in my free time.

I’m just an average working mom who frequently suffers from word vomit, the content of which occasionally warrants some hate mail. Peace out.

Carpet color options: beige, beige or beige Commentary by Dick Wolfsie We’ve always been envious of friends who have done it in every room of their house. So, we finally decided it was now or never: we were going to re-carpet our entire home. We had successfully avoided this huge hassle in the past by moving just as the carpet had worn out our welcome.

Early in our relationship, we once moved when the fridge needed to be defrosted. We just couldn’t be bothered.

We knew our carpet was dirty and disgusting when we started wiping our feet before going outside. Also, when friends came over for a cocktail, we told everyone it was a shag carpet. It really wasn’t. It just looked that way because we’ve had dogs and cats for 32 years. Sometimes I walked out of my bathroom while brushing my teeth in order to watch TV in my home office. There were a few toothpaste globs on the floor. I scraped them up now and then. They looked a lot like dinner mints.

Once we made the decision to go ahead with the project, I stood at the bottom of the stairs and scanned the house. The immensity of the task overwhelmed me. I wondered if we really had to do the first and second floor at the same time.

“Two stories in one day is a lot to cover, Mary Ellen.”

“Isn’t that the attitude that got you demoted at Channel 8?”

12 | July 24, 2012

When it was time to pick the color, Mary Ellen pretended she wanted my input, so she flung some carpet samples on the floor. “Help me decide between the bistro, buff, desert sun, kangaroo, ecru, fallow, fawn, russet, sepia, moose antler, tawny, sienna and Sahara. I want something that won’t stain when you walk into the living room eating your breakfast cereal.”

“Do they have something in a nice Wheaties shade?”

“Dick, this is hard work. Which color do you like?”

“OK, beige.”

“They’re all beige.”

“See, that’s what made it so tough. Time for a beer.”

Because I am cheap, I was looking for ways to cut corners. (Actually, the carpet installers do that for you at no extra charge.) The idea I came up with was to take the dozens of carpet samples we had and use them to create a patchwork of colors that would cover one entire room. Mary Ellen said that was the stupidest idea I ever had in our entire relationship. She’s so young to be losing her memory.

IU Health earns best in state, national honor roll

By Jordan Fischer • jordan@youarecurrent.com Indiana University Health last week earned the distinction of being the first Hoosier healthcare system to be named to the U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals “Honor Roll.”

The title is the top distinction given to the best medical centers across the country, as determined by the national news magazine.

“These hospitals are the kinds of medical centers that should be on your list when you need the best care,” said U.S. News Health Rankings Editor, Avery Comarow. “They are where other hospitals send the toughest cases.”

Compression of realities Commentary by David Cain

Here’s a stunning reality, the iPhone is only five years old. The first version, now considered a relic, was introduced on January 9, 2007, and offered for sale on June 29, 2007. That little smart phone that now boasts sales in excess of 146 million units just turned five.

In March of 2012, Encyclopedia Britannica announced it would not produce any new print editions. The 2010 edition is the last to be printed, ending a legacy that had continued since the first edition made its way to an information-starved world in 1768. Did Google replace Britannica’s print version or is it actually Wikipedia that stepped in the way? Regardless, the encyclopedias that graced the shelves of my childhood are now dusty artifacts for garage sales and antique malls perched next to the rotary dial phone.

redefined. It is like raising kids, when you are around them you don’t realize how big they are getting. Before you know it, they are adults.

Our realities are compressing to the point where we’ve lost all perspective of the past. Our reality is evolving at the speed of technology, creating an elusive normality that once provided comfort.

The key is to stay in the today. The fundamentals haven’t changed. People must still have meaningful relationships and establish connections. People still rely on other people. People still need products and services that add value. People still need to have human connections. People still need you but they are just expecting you to offer yourself faster and better than before.

Wine Recommendation: 2010 Hubert Veneau Pouilly Fumé ($17) When serving this dish as a side for a more savory entrée, it is best for the wine to bridge the gap rather than highlight the side dish alone. This is particularly helpful when the dish is seasoned with balsamic herbs. Available in specialty stores.

Are Married Parents Really Better for Children?

How many times have you heard a divorced (or soon to be divorced) parent state “We stayed together for the kids”? We hear it all the time.

Even when recounting horrible acts of deceit, abuse or cheating, these people seemed to think that they were doing what was better for their children: Stay married.

Vintage Movie Night: “Jason and the Argonauts” – Film collector, historian and preservationist Eric Grayson shares one of his favorite vintage films “Jason and the Argonauts” at 8 p.m. this Saturday in the Garfield Park Arts Center (2432 Conservatory Drive, Indianapolis). Jason seeks help from the Greek goddess Hera to complete an epic and perilous trip to find the Golden Fleece. Tickets are $3 at the door. For more information, visit gpacarts.org.

“With a Wimper” – This darkly comedic tale about the end of the world is making its world premiere at Indianapolis’s Phoenix Theatre (749 N Park Ave.). As the end draws nigh in a torrent of blood and magic, the world comes closer to conclusion. “With a Whimper” is running Thursdays through Sundays now through August 12.

Tickets range from $15 to $25. For more information, visit PhoenixTheatre.org.

For years researchers have been trying to find direct evidence as to whether it is better for parents to “suck it up” and stay together or divorce and move on. The evidence is divided. Many studies suggest that children of divorced parents are more likely to grow up poor, have behavioral problems or experience health problems.

However, new studies are starting to address the quality of the family relationships. It has been found that the quality of the relationship between parents definitely matters. According to a study from the Center for Law and Social Policy, children who grow up in married families with high conflict experience lower emotional well-being than children who live in low-conflict families, and they may experience as many problems as children of divorced or never-married parents. Research indicates that marital conflict interferes with the quality of parenting. Furthermore, experiencing chronic conflict between married parents is inherently stressful for children, and children learn poor relationship skills from parents who aren’t able to solve problems amicably. When parents have a highly discordant relationship, children are often better off in the long run if their parents divorce.

Between 30 and 40 percent of divorces of couples with children are preceded by a period of chronic discord between the parents. In these situations, children do better when their parents divorce than if they stay married.

Most parents try their hardest to be the best parent they can be. We make many sacrifices in the name of raising our children to be happy, well-adjusted adults. No matter whether you are a single parent, divorced or married, one of the most important things you can do is to create happy, emotionally healthy homes for them to be raised.

In June 2012, 484 homes pended in Hamilton County – an increase of 49 homes compared to June of last year.

• Home sales are up in Westfield. In June 2012, 75 homes pended – an increase of 14

Illuminated Skin

Sometimes a slight change in your beauty routine can make all the difference. While many opt to smooth on foundation before applying concealer, the trick to achieving Kim Kardashian’s illuminated skin is to reverse the formula. Be sure to choose a concealer that is half a shade lighter than your natural skin tone, as anything too fair will look chalky. Dab the product right under your eyes and blend downward in a v-formation that lines up with the sides of your nose. You can also swipe a touch of the concealer along the bridge of your nose to give it a more contoured appearance. Then, fill in the rest of your face with a tinted moisturizer or lightweight foundation to blend any harsh edges and even out the rest of your skin.

Metallic Shadow

A full smoky eye can look too heavy for the summer months, so opt for a single color in a deep bronze instead. This simple eye makeup can have a sultry feel, thanks to the shadow’s antiqued hue. When working with powder shadows, be sure to smooth on an eye primer before blending on the shade. This will add extra staying power, and make the product’s color really pop.

Stop by Salon 01 and visit us to see the latest selection of Jane Iredale and our own Salon 01 brand makeup. Our eye shadows are light and contain SPF, which can help keep your skin safe all summer long.

The elephant in the room Commentary by Bob Walters

A thoughtful reader named Greg responded to a recent column and provided an elegant encapsulation of modern American secular narrative.

In “The Rocket, the Republic, and Romans 13” (July 10), I went on about faith and how God’s truth and justice is superior to man’s or government’s or the U.S. Supreme Court’s truth and justice. This column’s customary italic epigram stated that “God’s truth and justice is the American way,” and that “we are losing our way.”

Greg, in erudite disagreement, wrote “it’s the person whose bias is that his/her own god(s)’s truth and justice is the American way who has lost his/her own way.” So, that would be me.

Greg argues for the “aggregate ways of individual Americans,” a “consensual social contract,” that knowledge is “justified belief,” that truth is merely “human sensory witness” and that faith is a theocratic “presumed socio-political prerogative.” In other words truth, like America, is a collection of secular parts.

It was a great email, eloquently stated. It intended to obviate God’s place in the “American Way” conversation, which secular America is desperate to do. I thanked Greg and asked what he considered to be “truth,” and whether or not “hope” was a proper aim of democracy. I loved Greg’s response.

Greg related the oft-cited “Elephant story,” where four blindfolded people – a father and

25% OFF SELECT FAUX WOOD BLINDS Expires August 15th

three sons – touch a different part of an elephant and think it is four different things. Since the father touched the trunk and thought it was a snake, he forced his will on the sons who thought they had touched a bird (ear), a tree (leg), and a rope (tail). Dad had the power … dad said it was a snake … so, it was – incorrectly – a snake.

Greg’s point is that truth and faith are matters of opinion depending upon which part of the elephant we touch. And “power” should never determine whether “truth” is a snake, ear, tree, or whatever: you cannot force truth … or faith, belief, or love, for that matter. But the “snake” conclusion is a perfect, multi-entendre picture of secularized philosophy, academia, politics, culture, and justice getting it completely wrong.

Here’s why: The family grasped the parts, but missed the elephant. Truth is a whole thing that a real God presented to a fallen world in the real person of Jesus Christ. And while an elephant is big, God is bigger. I want American ideals and my faith to be bigger and stronger than any part of an elephant; not as small and weak as manmade truth.

To perpetuate that bigness, God’s truth -not man’s opinion- is our greatest hope.

Design

The foundation of good design Commentary by Vicky Earley

The basic rules of proportion and scale are unchanging. They are reinterpreted according to the needs of the time. I like simplicity and I believe in restraint. Above all, there should be harmony-of proportion, line, color, and feeling.

The most important element in decorating is the relationship between objects- in size, form, texture, color, and meaning. None of these is in good taste in itself but only in relationship to where it has been placed and what purpose it is to serve. – Eleanor McMillen Brown Interior design is about the big picture and the big picture works when it is the result of a carefully planned compilation of elements and principles.

When the principles are spurned,, there is a very good chance that a space will appear haphazard and chaotic.

These principles are basic to all good design and must be treated with the respect they are due and should be altered only with care.

• Balance: You will most likely feel if a room is unbalanced. Balance simply refers to the visual equilibrium of a room which is achieved by the placement of objects within a room according to visual weight.

• Shape, color and texture all help to determine their visual weight..

• Focus: This refers to the direction the eye travels and remains as it first enters a space.

A multitude of focal points in a room make it quite uncomfortable as there is no place for the eye to rest.

• Harmony: This is achieved when the elements of a room work together to form a visually pleasing cohesiveness with the proper balance of variety and unity. Harmony in design is similarity of components or objects looking like these belong together. This unity can be defined as a design thread that tells a story from one element to another.

• Proportion: Ah, Proportion and his best friend Scale . This is something the real estate agent fails to mention when showing you a home with a two story great room.

Technically, proportion refers to how the elements within an object relate to the object as a whole while scale relates to the size of an object compared to the space in which it is located.

• Rhythm: The rhythm of a room controls the visual flow around a room. Rhythm allows the eyes to move around from one object to another and creates a harmonious atmosphere in a room.

A family home that incorporates these is not unlike the paints that an artist uses in the creation of a breathtaking work of art…each color and brushstroke plays off another color within the guidelines of design principle. The result is a warm, inviting space for living.

Masada

Mountaintop experiences

Photo by Don Knebel

Commentary by Don Knebel For Herod the Great, the king of Judea at Jesus’ birth, Masada was a place to keep cool in the summer. For the people of modern Israel, Masada is a constant reminder of the courage of their ancestors and a symbol of their own determination.

During his reign from about 36 to 4 B.C., Herod was a prodigious builder trying to improve the image of his little kingdom in the eyes of his bosses in Rome. The accomplishments of Herod’s engineers were remarkable.

But none of Herod’s many building projects have had the lasting influence of Masada, rising 1,300 feet above the desert. At the top of this plateau, Herod built an elaborate city, complete with Roman baths, an underground reservoir and a summer palace overlooking the Dead Sea. The only way up to the fortified complex was a narrow “snake path.”

In 66 A.D., Jewish revolutionaries captured Masada from the Romans. They and the families that joined them held out against a Roman siege

for seven years until engineers built an earthen ramp to the top and soldiers broke down the walls. According to Josephus, the first-century Jewish historian, the entering soldiers found all but seven of the 960 holdouts dead, killed by their own hands to avoid being taken alive.

Today, a plaque at Masada reads: “What of us? What is our Masada? How much of all this will we take with us, and how much of our own will we add?” Since the time of Moshe Dayan, new members of the Israeli military have walked the snake path for a swearing-in ceremony among the ruins, which ends with a pledge that “Masada shall not fall again.” For everyone visiting Masada, the mountain top, now reachable by cable car, is a powerful reminder of the indomitable Jewish spirit and the universal yearning of people to be free.

Prepaing yourself for a platform switch Commentary by Ken Colburn

to the Galaxy S III or just archive them on your computer to keep from filling up your new phone with old photos (you can always upload them to Picasa Web Albums if you want access to them from the S III withouttaking up storage).

If apps and music are important, it gets a little more complicated.

Since the Galaxy S III is an Android device, the apps that you have on your iPhone won’t transfer so you’ll need to do some homework to see if you have any ‘can’t live without’ apps that aren’t available in Google’s App store ( https://play.google.com ).

Most popular free and pay apps are available on both platforms, but in general, you will have to repurchase any apps you already purchased for the iPhone. You can try contacting the app developer to see if they will work with you, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.

When it comes to music, the complexity of the transfer will be based on whether you purchased the music from the iTunes Store or transferred the songs from your own CDs. Any music you transferred (or ripped) from your own CDs can be transfered directly to the S III, but any songs you purchased from the iTunes Store will have copy protection that will require you to take some extra steps to convert the files first.

I’m strongly considering a jump from my iPhone to the Samsung Galaxy S III but concerned about getting all my stuff over. Is this an easy thing to do or is it going to be a nightmare? - Glen The smartphone battle has definitely heated up with the release of Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S III and I’m hearing this from more iPhone users than with any previous Android phone release.

The primary concerns for most users are the apps, music, contacts and photos; the more of these items you have the more complex it can be.

If you don’t really have any apps or music that you care about, than the transition would be rather painless and quick using an app called ‘Bump’ ( http://bu.mp ) that is available for both platforms.

You simply install the app on both phones, select all your contacts or just the ones you want to transfer and then ‘bump’ the phones together to transfer them. It’s very easy to setup and transfer, so this won’t require any real technical skills to execute.

‘Bumping’ your photos takes a little more time because there is no ‘select all’ option, but think of it as an opportunity to get rid of those less desirable photos. One downside to this method is that Bump compresses the photos to transfer them, so if you want them in the original resolution, I’d use Picasa to import them (& any videos you shot) from the iPhone.

Once you have them on your computer, you can decide whether you want to transfer them

Gardener stumped by color Commentary by Holly Lindzy

By far one of the most adaptable summer flowering shrubs is the Rose of Sharon – glossy foliage, beautiful bloom, easy care and quick to fill a space. It’s an Indiana summer staple. And I had to have one.

Throughout the years, time and again, I would go to purchase one for my garden and get stumped on color selection. Every time.

White, purple, blue-purple, pink . . . what’s a girl to do? Years passed, gardens evolved – minus the Rose of Sharon.

In catalogs I would see “Tri Color Rose of Sharon!”, like it was some hot commodity which meant it was trending and that’s not my style, so I’d pass. What’s “hot right now” is of little interest to me.

Then one day I was working in a yard of a friend removing some plants to put in three good sized Serviceberry. Part of the removal included some one-foot-tall volunteers from a nearby Rose of Sharon, of which I had no clue the color. On a whim, I set them in a bucket to take with me. There’s no crime in that – right?

So, home I toted two decent starts of the unknown Rose of Sharon, planted them in the corner of my garden and watched them grow,

Rose of Sharon green and perky, to about three feet that first year. Next summer, to my delight, it bloomed in two colors – white and purple. It couldn’t be more appropriate.

Now every year I look forward to seeing my “bi-color” surprise Rose of Sharon, and retelling the story. No more indecision and angst. Like closing your eyes and dropping a finger in the phone book, I threw caution to the wind and left it to chance.

And now it’s all mine. Sort of.

Veggie color – Celery green mixed with a tint of yellow is a color that works wonders for a room without getting that weird mint green color. Try it if you're looking for something new and a bit unique. - betterhomes.com

Late start – Spring is generally the time to plant new things and let them grow, but if you got a late start, there are still several plants that bloom during the summer. Potentilla, butterfly bush, and crape myrtle are just a few examples. - bhg.com

Try this – To remove candle wax that has dripped onto cloth, use the dull edge of a knife to scrape off the wax before placing several paper towels on both sides of the fabric and ironing on a low setting. The towels will absorb the wax. - almanac.com

Not white – When arranging your house, there always seem to be rules.

Some of them are easy to bend. For example, ceilings don't always have to white. Choosing a color that's on the same palette as the rest of the room gives it depth and character. - bhg.com

“Current. It really works.”

"Our business has picked up incredibly since we resumed advertising in Current. I walk around the dining room and ask my customers how they discovered Kincaid's, and almost every one of them said, 'Current.' It really works."

Outdoors Introducing The All-New 2013

LEXUS RX The next chapter of utility vehicles.

Drought: Damage control Commentary by Chris Arney

Although rainfall has been sporadic, we are on track for one of the driest seasons that any of us have seen. It is a fact that many lawns and landscapes are suffering and their overall health and appearance will continue to decline. As the water company urges us all to conserve water, we are limited on what can be done. As you look around, you will notice that even well established lawns, shrubs, and trees are declining rapidly.

Most lawns will require some level of rejuvenation this fall. Damage will include localized patches of dead turf and widespread thinning out of turf grass. Reseeding these areas will be standard treatment. Depending on the extent of the damage, additional work may be warranted.

Core aeration, additional top soil, tilling, and re-grading, all will be options to consider. Late August will be the timing of most of this work.

There will also be an opportunity for some late fall (November) seeding as well. Plan on budget-

ing some time and money for later this summer to repair your lawn.

Landscape trees, shrubs, and perennials are also taking a beating. Wilting, leaf loss, and browning are all signs of lack of water. The best use of water in the current conditions is “slow deep watering”. Soaker hoses, tree bags, and a slow trickle of water from a hose are all good methods. Use a nail to punch a hole in the bottom of a five gallon bucket. Fill it with water and place it next to trees and shrubs for another slow watering option. All of these options will help to control the damage brought on by this season’s weather. Some plants will die, some will struggle for years, and others will bounce back healthier than ever.

TEST DRIVE THE ALL-NEW RX TODAY. With a driver-inspired design, intuitive technology and an innovative approach to performance, the RX not only created the category, it’s redefined it.

Chris Arney is the director of landscaping operations at EA Outdoor Services. You may contact him at Chris.Arney@ EAOutdoorServices.com.

Mrs. Plum – If you have room that's always swamped in light and you find that a lot of colors don't work on taking that light, try a deep, plum color. The natural light will balance the saturated heavy color of this purple. - almanac.com
