What it means: A 10,000-square-foot office building on 1.47 acres was proposed. Richard Thomason, architect for the project, presented three specifics to the commission: parking space, an amendment to the landscaping and an amendment to allow for a lighted sign. The east-side parking lot encroaches on the yard an additional five feet to allow for 30 to 33 parking spaces, slightly smaller than average for office parking. Thomason requested to decrease the number of trees because of unhealthy landscape due to density. Thirdly, Thomason requested for a lighted sign to be added to the southeast corner of the property advertising the office tenants and the Bridgewater Apartments nearby. No comments were made at the public hearing.

Jake Laird Community Day set

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Indianapolis Police Dept. Officer Timothy “Jake” Laird was an active participant in his community in addition to serving it. After his death in 2004, his parents Mike event and Debbie wanted to continue his passion for community involvement.

The seventh annual Jake Laird Community Day will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. Aug. 2 at Quaker Park, 17501 Dartown Rd. The Lairds will be in attendance.

Laird “It’s a day that we showcase all our different specialties like a K-9 demonstration and SWAT,” WPD Chief Joel Rush said. “Jake was an IPD officer killed in the line of duty, and he was big in the community. His mother and father live in Noblesville and have taken his passion for the community and continue on with that outreach supporting police and fire departments across Indiana.”

The event is open to the public, and there will be free food and games, face painting, a rock wall, a dunk tank, a bike-safety demonstration and bounce houses. Last year, ap-

proximately 500 to 600 people attended.

“It’s just a fun time for the family, and you learn more about the police department,” Rush said. “The Lairds raise money and donate to the police and fire departments for equipment, and they help fund our community day.”

Laird was killed Aug. 24, 2004, after responding to multiple 911 calls regarding gunfire on the south side of Indianapolis.

The Jake Laird Community Day is again paired with National Night Out, an event designed to heighten drug and crime prevention awareness, provide support for local anticrime programs and more.

DIVORCE – WHAT TO EXPECT: College Expenses In Indiana, in many family law cases, in addition to receiving normal child support, either parent can request the court to order the other parent to help contribute towards post-secondary educational expenses once the child nears college. In any Dissolution of Marriage, Post-Dissolution, or Paternity action, the court will almost always enter a child support obligation to be paid by one of the parties (typically, the noncustodial parent). The Indiana Child Support Guidelines are presumed to be applicable in every such proceeding and govern the payment and determination of child support. The Guidelines are based on the “Income Shares” theory; more specifically, that both parents are responsible for the support of a child based upon their respective income shares. However, once the child is emancipated, and if college expenses are not discussed prior to emancipation, one parent may be left with the burden of post-secondary educational expenses, without contribution from the other parent.

Effective July 1, 2012, the Indiana State Legislature reduced the age of emancipation from 21 to 19 years of age. Being mindful of typical family circumstances, the legislature wanted to more fairly recognize families where the college-aged child was residing at school and spending little to no time with the custodial parent, who was receiving support. However, this change has had a major effect upon a parent’s ability to request post-secondary education expenses. Thus, if you have a current support order and a child nearing the age of 19, you should consult an attorney in order to determine your options for emancipation and requesting post-secondary education expenses. Plan accordingly and preserve your right to request such expenses prior to the child’s 19th birthday.

Unlike child support, post-secondary educational expenses are not guaranteed, thereby making each situation fact-specific.

When determining post-secondary education expenses, courts will consider several factors. These factors include, but are not limited to, the child’s aptitude and ability to attend college, which determines the child’s college selections. Additionally, courts consider the child’s ability to contribute to educational expenses either through work, scholarships, grants, obtaining loans, and obtaining other sources of financial aid reasonably available to the child and each parent.

Typically, courts are looking to the child to help contribute towards their future in some way. Finally, and arguably, the most significant factor the courts consider and place a lot of emphasis is on a parent’s ability to contribute toward such college expenses. Thus, the amount each party in a post-secondary education matter is ordered to pay will be very fact-sensitive and can vary significantly depending upon the aforementioned factors.

The Guidelines suggest typical expenses, for which parents can be expected to help contribute towards college. In most cases, typical post-secondary educational expenses shall include expenses such as, tuition, room and board, and books and fees. With proper preparation, based on this new legislation, families can plan ahead and help reduce any anxiety about the allocation of college expenses.

Bicentennial torchbearers chosen

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

REMODELERS

At age 10, Kyle Condra got to carry the torch for the 1987 Pan American Games in Indianapolis. county Now Condra, 39, a Carmel Fire Dept. lieutenant, has been named one of 38 Hamilton County torchbearers for Indiana’s Bicentennial Torch Relay. He was chosen by a selection committee.

“All of our torchbearers have affected positive change in many ways,” stated Brenda Myers, Hamilton County Tourism president and chief executive officer. “The decision was not easy. These 38 people showcase how Hamilton County is a part of a bigger story in the state’s history.”

The torch will enter Hamilton County from Boone County at Zionsville Presbyterian Church at 3 p.m. Oct. 13. The torch route will then travel through Carmel, Westfield and Fishers, before arriving at the downtown Noblesville square at 7 p.m. The relay will end Oct. 15 at the Indiana Statehouse in Indianapolis.

Other Hamilton County relay nominees received a certificate and will receive a shirt to wear on the day of the relay. The committee used state criteria to narrow down the field from a strong pool of candidates.

Condra, a Noblesville resident, was nominated by his uncle, Greg Apple.

“I had no idea I was nominated until I got the letter in the mail,” Condra said. “To see how few people were selected and how many were nominated, that was quite a shock. Looking back, my wife (Traci) was asking questions out of the norm. She was doing spy work to get some information for my uncle.”

WWES, OTES under construction

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Parents and students can expect to see some construction at Washington Woods and Oak Trace elementary schools until next summer, and Principals Robin Lynch and Scott Williams said they are excited about the outcome.

Both schools are being designed off of Carey Lynch Ridge Elementary School, where the same expansion project was completed three to four years ago.

“We are adding on four kindergarten classrooms that ultimately can be used as kindergarten classrooms or potential developmental preschool classrooms,” Lynch said of OTES’s expansion. “It will expand the kindergarten playground a bit. Then, we are also adding a small, multi-purpose room off of the front cafeteria area to help accommodate our additional growth.”

WWES completed the kindergarten playground expansion this spring in preparation for the construction. Williams said because CRES has already done the expansion, the WWES and OTES expansions will go

smoothly.

“The advantages of working from the same building footprint over and over is we keep making improvements and saving taxpayers money by doing that … Every time we build this building again, we make it better,” Williams said. “We straightened out the addition so we have a large, rectangular space, and we are turning that Williams into instructional space.

It couldn’t be done at Carey (Ridge) because they have underground utilities. Robin and I worked hard with the architects for that space to be designed instructionally … and creating more space in the classrooms. We are only able to do that because we have done it once before, and we can look on it and improve on it.”

The school board, through capital projects and bonds, approved the $7.75-million project. “(The expansion) serves two major purposes. As the district continues to grow, it allows us to serve the growing population,” Williams said. “It provides more flexibility in the way we group and regroup students.”

For Indiana students, college worth cost

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com it.

For Charu Dwivedi, college was well worth

“I thought going to college was an absolutely wonderful experience for me,” said Dwivedi, a 2011 Carmel High School graduate. “Besides academically, I feel that college gives students the Dwivedi opportunity to grow as individuals. You live an independent lifestyle and have a chance to become the person you’ve always wanted to be. Going to Purdue allowed me to get out of my shell and participate in events and organizations that allowed me to become a confident young adult.”

Natalie Damiani, a 2013 Westfield High School graduate, also believes college is worth the price.

“Your degree can land you a job that you love, so it is worth every penny,” she said. Damiani is a current senior at Purdue University Dwivedi, who is working as a teacher at Dolce Daycare and Preschool in Fishers, will attend Eastern Michigan University this fall to pursue her master’s in speech-language pathology.

A fellow 2011 CHS graduate Alexis Cozzarelli, a 2015 Ball State graduate, is working as a historical interpreter at Conner Prairie.

“I think college is worth it if you definitively know what you want to do,” Cozzarelli said. “I was very wishywashy on what I wanted to pursue after college, on whether I wanted to go to grad school or law school Cozzarelli or do something completely different.”

Cozzarelli, who majored in history, realized she has to go back to school to do what she really wants, teaching social studies. She will return to IUPUI this fall.

Dwivedi’s co-worker at the daycare, Kendra Wagner, 22, graduated from Neighbors New Vistas High School in Portage in 2014.

“Growing up I always had an awareness that colWagner lege was important,” said Wagner, a Fishers resident. “As I got older and learned how expensive it was, and how often people drop out/change majors, I knew I wouldn’t be ready for college at 18. Some people know exactly what they want and they go for it, and I think that’s awesome. Personally, I knew that going to college for something I

The following 13 colleges participated for this pilot survey: Ball State University, Butler University, Calumet College of St. Joseph, Grace College, Indiana University East, IU Kokomo, IU-PU Fort Wayne, Ivy Tech Community College, Manchester University, Marian University, Taylor University, Vincennes University and WGU Indiana.

Statewide results: Positive findings Worth the Investment/Debt: Overall, 81 percent of alumni surveyed agree that their higher education was worth the cost.

For those with student loans, 76 percent agree college was worth it.

Greater Well-Being: Indiana’s college graduates report higher levels of wellbeing than those graduates surveyed nationally on all five elements measured: sense of purpose, social well-being, financial well-being, community well-being and physical well-being.

More Fulfilling Work: Indiana’s college graduates report work fulfillment at the national average for college graduates.

Nearly half (48 percent) of Indiana alumni surveyed indicated they are deeply interested in the work they do. never experienced in the real world would be too risky.”

So she tried to explore what she wanted to pursue in lower-wage jobs.

“I saw how my experiences in the workforce carried from job to job,” she said. “I would say I worked myself around the ladder until I narrowed my interests down.”

She now plans to take her education a step further. ”For me, taking care of kids and teaching them is a natural thing, there›s a lot to consider in making a career out of it, and at this stage I’m not exactly sure what I’ll do,” Wagner said.

Statewide results: Opportunities for improvement Well Prepared for Life: Just 37 percent of surveyed graduates strongly agree they were well prepared for life outside of college.

Support and Guidance to Graduate: Less than half (47 percent) of alumni say they received support outside the classroom to help them graduate.

Work Experience and Job Placement: One-third (33 percent) of students who had a job or internship during college reported that a work or internship experience was a requirement for their degree program. Less than half (45 percent) of students who had a job or internship during college received help securing an internship or job during college, and only 15 percent reported their college helped them secure their first job after graduation.

Degree-Career Alignment: Nearly onequarter (22 percent) of graduates surveyed indicated their undergraduate degree was not at all related to their current work.

WEF gives $1M worth of scholarships, grants

By Jenna Liston • news@currentinwestfield.com The Westfield Education Foundation has given out $1 million worth of scholarships and grants to seniors at Westfield High School and teachers in Westfield Washington Schools since its inception in 1986.

For 30 years, the nonprofit foundation has raised money to support teachers and students who have applied for grants and scholarships. Teachers can request up to $1,000 for innovative teaching ideas that will engage students in and outside of the classroom.

These ideas can include projects such as outdoor gardens, building model roller coasters to define the laws of physics and bringing in artists and programs for students to learn from.

This year, $45,850 was given to seniors who applied for scholarships in the graduating class of 2016 and $15,000 for teaching grants throughout WWS. Fundraising from events such as the Underground Railroad Run, the Harlem Wizards basketball game, specified license plates purchased through the BMV and voluntary payroll deduction contributions from Westfield Washington Schools staff all contribute to the funds of scholarships and grants.

Jan Skinner, Westfield Education Foundation executive director, said working with the foundation for the past 13 years has been a very rewarding experience.

“Our million-dollar-award achievement

would not be possible without the support of our dedicated sponsors, participants and volunteers,” Skinner said.

Students can apply for scholarships ranging from $500 to $6,000, online at Naviance.

Duane Lutz, president of the foundation, said he is excited to see the foundation’s growth in the upcoming years.

“As our school district continues to grow, our goal is to increase the annual awards to further promote education excellence,” Lutz said.

Food for thought

FR O M T HE b a ck s h o p Clinton lacking regard for women If anyone out there was watching the GOP convention July 18, we’re sure you were struck by the emotional speech by Patricia Smith, mother of Sean Smith, who died in the 2012 attack on the U.S. Embassy in Benghazi.

She pointedly blamed Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton for not providing the necessary security that fateful night. She said Clinton “looked me squarely in the eye and told me a video was responsible” for the attack. We now know that’s not the case; clearly, it was a terrorist attack. We couldn’t help but feel the anguish and pain Smith still is suffering in the wake of her tragic loss.

We, too, can feel the betrayal she experienced after being lied to by Clinton. Wanting the last word, Clinton then accused Smith of lying. Can you imagine? It really gets one thinking: After all we hear about Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s polling deficit among women voters, this incident is telling – enormously so – as to what Clinton really thinks of women. To lie to a grieving mother is beyond the pale. While politics can be a brutal game, we believe strongly that this incident fully demonstrates once and for all that the only woman Clinton cares about is herself.

••• Please consider attending the seventh annual Jake Laird Community Day at Quaker Park from 5 to 8 p.m. Aug. 2. As was the case last year, the event will be paired with National Night Out. It memorializes and pays tribute to Timothy “Jake” Laird of the Indianapolis Police Dept., who lost his life in the line of duty Aug. 18, 2004.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Stupid and evil Commentary by Terry Anker One wonders if Gutenberg and his contemporaries imagined the impact that their printing press might have on the world – namely, it freed the flow of information in a game-changing way. More people could claim a voice; and, more people could hear it. Certainly, there must have been some discussion as the stylish folk of 1439 peered over the craft ale they were sampling from their distinctive lead tankards from the new maker’s space around the corner. What does it all mean? What will this new “social” media bring us?

So, now that we are collectively 600 years older and wiser, what have we learned?

The newest “social” media allows for an even more liberal movement of information than did Mr. G’s original device. Even as we contemplate the changes afoot in the order of things now that the New York Times has fewer readers than Kylie Jenner, those changes are marching on. Articulate and profane alike, we all have a voice. Unvarnished

and unmitigated, we can all be heard!

In a symphony of ever increasing cacophony, should we raise our voices even louder to ensure that WE ARE HEARD ABOVE THE RABBLE. OUR VOICE MATTERS! LISTEN TO ME! Gutenberg printed what he believed to be the most important ideas – and hoped to share them widely. In a quick survey of modern social media, it seems that one is more likely confronted with hate and bigotry than with the advancing of affirmative ideas. “You are stupid! Your candidate is stupid. This recipe is stupid. You must be too stupid to see how stupid you are! We’re only saying you’re stupid to be nice – we really think you are stupid AND evil.”

In a world where everyone is in the ring, is it possible to imagine that most hits will be above the belt?

– Mahatma Gandhi

A few weeks back, I wrote a column about one of my sons deciding not to make his Catholic confirmation. I humor actually thought nothing more of it until I started receiving a ton of emails, both good and bad. What was my take-away? People are reading me!

During the summer! And if they are getting worked up over a rather non-controversial issue like a teenager’s choice of faith, imagine what would happen if I gave them something really write-the-editor worthy.

Like if I addressed the upcoming election and why I’ll be voting for Hillary. Yes, Hillary! Of course, politics can turn nasty in a heartbeat, so perhaps I should withhold my rather low opinion of “The Donald” and discuss matters of a less divisive nature.

Would my support of gay marriage strike a chord in our conservative suburban bubble? I like to think not, but I know my audience. Maybe I could write at length on the reasons I’m both Catholic and pro-choice, a seemingly glaring contradiction until I explained my views. Which, unfortunately, I won’t be doing right now because I have bigger fish to fry. Another time, then.

I could always rant about the deplorable state of public education and the appalling treatment of its teachers, but people around here tend to put in their ear plugs whenever that topic is broached. Maybe I should stick with mom issues, which are, without question, my forte. I could easily pen a whole book on why epidurals, infant formula and letting your 2-year old watch Nemo for 17 minutes so that you can swallow a pretzel nugget and sponge-bathe your pits are all OK. Seriously. It’s maternal survival before pre-school applications, my friends, and don’t let anyone shame you into doing otherwise.

Have I honked enough people off yet?

I feel as though I’m just getting started. I have yet to mention immunizations, Black Lives Matter, gun control or Daenerys Targaryen’s claim to the Iron Throne, all of which I strongly support.

A little food for thought. Enjoy your meal!

Peace out.

Grand Park’s first Westfield Rocks the 4th a success Editor, As the City of Westfield’s Parks and Recreation director, I want to personally thank you for supporting our community events. This year’s July 4th celebration truly rocked the 4th. Even with a lingering threat of rain and storms, we had more than 20,000 people attend Westfield Rocks the 4th.

We pride ourselves in offering free community events. However, without our partners, we wouldn’t be able to have such great events. The Current has been a tremendous partner to the Parks & Recreation Dept., as the publishers were gracious enough to be one of our sponsors. With their support, we were able to reach nearly

30,000 people through our event website.

I also couldn’t put on Westfield Rocks the 4th without the dedicated help from my staff, the Public Works Dept., the Westfield Police Dept., the Westfield Fire Dept. and the Grand Park Dept.. The Westfield employees and the hundreds of volunteers work rain or shine on the Fourth of July to make sure our event is the best in central Indiana and beyond.

I look forward to next year, when Westfield Rocks the 4th will be even bigger and better.

Thank you to the Current.

Verizon helps fight violence

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com With Verizon Wireless’s new store open at 1950 Greyhound Pass, customers have more options than technology like new biz tablets and phones.

The new business is the first Smart Store in central Indiana, featuring four different lifestyle zones through its 4,095-square-foot interior, including a Get Fit zone, Amplify It zone, Home and On the Go zone and a Power On zone.

In addition to the Smart Store, Verizon Wireless donated a $20,000 HopeLine grant – dedicated to promoting teen-dating-violenceprevention programs – to the Domestic Violence Network as part of the ribbon cutting celebrations.

“Teen dating abuse is a pervasive and devastating issue,” stated Pat Lewis, director of retail sales. “The more we can do to raise awareness at an earlier age, the better.

Customers and visitors to the new store can donate their no-longer-used wireless devices and accessories for HopeLine, which then generates grants for nonprofit organizations.”

The Westfield and OneZone chambers of commerce were both present at the Westfield-Carmel store’s ribbon cutting, as well as Kelly McBride, executive director for DVN, and Hamilton County Commissioner Christine Altman.

“We are very thankful that Verizon Wireless has chosen to invest in our community,” Altman said. “We want to thank them for addressing the issues of domestic violence and sexual assault. It will take the work of the local and state government and partners like Verizon and nonprofit parts like Prevail and (Domestic Violence Network).”

The Westfield-Carmel Smart Store is open 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday. For more, call 317-5809548, or visit Verizon.com.

IU Health launches video visits

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com IU Health has released a new way of seeing a physician.

IU Health Video Visits was created, and patients can now see a physician or practitioner without ever leaving their technology homes.

“This is an opportunity for a patient to connect with a physician on many types of devices,” said Ian McDaniel, executive director of telehealth and retail services at IU Health. “Physicians can interact and interface with that patient via video and voice.”

Video visits are used for low-intensity problems, McDaniel such as coughs, colds, flus, skin conditions and eye conditions. A pilot program was launched internally and used for several months with IU Health employees and dependents.

McDaniel said many patients have interacted with a physician via phone, and this is a step up for physicians to diagnose problems.

“Physicians have been practicing with less information across the course of history, and now we are given the opportunity to interact with more information than we had on the telephone,” McDaniel said. If a physician believes a patient requires lab testing, they will be referred to IU Health.

Other area hospitals are exploring similar ways of interacting with patients.

“We believe that tele-medicine as a general field is the future of healthcare delivery,” said Dr. Richard Fogel, chief executive officer for St.Vincent. “It allows another access point into the healthcare system, and it is particularly useful for people who live in rural areas. It doesn’t replace a face-to-face meeting, but it is in addition to it.”

Dr. John Paris, chief medical officer at Riverview Health, said Riverview is looking forward to instilling something similar to IU Health’s Video Visits.

“We are doing our due diligence to see what vendor and platform should be used,”

A screenshot of the IU Health Video Visit app.

Paris said. “We will certainly start slowly as we learn the benefits and the risks of the new technology.”

The Indiana General Assembly recently passed a law that went into effect July 1 that allows physicians to prescribe medications over real-time video visits.

McDaniel said currently, insurance is not accepted over the video visits, and each visit costs $49 and lasts approximately 20 minutes.

McDaniel said the hospital didn’t want to wait to get insurance contracts signed for the video visits, as that would delay the technology’s access to the public. Billing insurance companies in the future is a possibility.

The IU Health Video Visits app is free and available through Apple and Android app stores. To use the program on a computer with video features, visit iuhealthvideovisit. org.

I attended the seventh annual Lobster Palooza, which was hands-down the hottest ticket in town. Honorary chairs Larry and Dinah Bird hosted the evening on the beautiful grounds of the Frank and Katrina Basile Opera Center. Guests enjoyed a traditional Maine-style lobster bake that included steamers and clams, clam chowder, corn on the cob, plus the biggest fresh lobsters flown in from Maine complete with all the fixings. Delicious summertime cocktails and dancing to the fabulous tunes of Henle and the Loops made the night extra special. All the proceeds from the evening benefited the Indianapolis Opera Resident Artist Program, which trains future opera stars and serves more than 27,000 Hoosiers annually.

HCAA member receives grant award

By Desiree Williams • editorial@youarecurrent.com Alys Caviness-Gober, Noblesville, only got involved with art a few years ago, but she has dealt with disabilities her entire life. As the recipient of a art recent grant award, she will be combining both by using art to illustrate living with disabilities.

This summer, Caviness-Gober received the Individual Artist Program award from the Indiana Arts Commission, which includes a $2,000 award with a grant period that began July 1 and runs until June 30, 2017.

“I just wanted to bring awareness to hidden disabilities,” she said. “It’s very hard. Normally, it’s out of your control.”

She used the term ‘hidden disabilities’ to describe something physical or mental that cannot be seen from the outside, but rather it’s something that manifests through behavior, cognitive abilities and social interaction.

Caviness-Gober was diagnosed with an incurable lung disease at a young age and has experienced various heart problems One of Alys Cavinessand retinal bleeds over the Gober’s paintings. CavinessGober submitted this piece, years. Living with these and four others, to the hidden disabilities proIndiana Arts Commission pelled her project’s vision. with her grant application.

“In our culture, there’s (Submitted photos) still that idea that if there’s something physically wrong with you, you’re less than and I really don’t like that,” she said. “To turn a negative into a positive image, that’s kind of what I want to do.”

As a grant recipient, she will be creating 10 to 12 large-scale, abstract paintings that will use texture, shapes and colors to evoke the emotions represented by hidden disabilities. Along with the paintings, Caviness-Gober will hold monthly open discussions about the artwork and disabilities in general.

“It was very encouraging because not only was it the first grant I ever applied for, but it legitimizes you as an artist. As a disabled artist, getting positive feedback like that is rare,” she said.

She said she hopes to have an exhibit in Noblesville at the end of the grant period, with all items for sale. She also plans to include a short explanation on the back of each piece about the grant award and what the painting represents.

Pergolas: The preferred aesthetic Commentary by Randy Sorrell

Sleek drapes fastened to corner posts offer privacy and protection from the sun. (Submitted photo)

Think this homeowner isn’t serious about generating shade and privacy?

Look closely outdoor living and discover stylish solutions for each. A few are traditional tools we’ve employed for decades … leafy shade trees and thick evergreens.

Others are hybrids created in recent years that activate shade and privacy immediately … think instant gratification.

Pergolas, when detailed correctly, are a preferred aesthetic that also serve to frame views, create dappled shade and cultivate privacy. The 6”x6” cedar posts buried in concrete footers have appropriately sized 2”x12”x20’ beams bolted to them. The predominant shade is cast from the additional 2”x6” overhead members. Painting activates an immediate sense of elegance and confidently marries the structure to the home. This pergola doesn’t cover the entire patio, yet performs nicely.

Notice the sleek drapes fastened to the corner posts? They look sharp, offer a solid barrier of privacy when closed

and attack the sun in the late afternoon after it falls below the pergola beams.

Recessed blinds in the beams are another fashionable option.

Notice the historic feel of the blue stone/slate patio surface? This material is timeless. They are forever relevant and always a head turner.

A richly detailed limestone seat wall embraces the fire feature and behaves as a completely separate living space.

Limestone and blue stone are classic pairings that we are not able to use often so it’s genuinely appreciated when we can. It requires the right setting, correct home and willing clients who appreciate those elements.

Creating shade and privacy is an essential element for luxurious outdoor living and the America’s patio driven surge has fueled lots of current solutions.

Flame of Liberty above Pont de l’Alma Tunnel (Photo by Don Knebel)

Paris’ accidental memorial Commentary by Don Knebel A monumental flame in Paris was intended as a symbol of friendship between two nations. A tragic coincidence transtravel formed that flame into a muchvisited memorial.

In 1989, the International Herald Tribune donated to the citizens of Paris a full-sized replica of the flame that now extends from the torch of the Statue of Liberty in the entrance to the New York Harbor. Named “The Flame of Liberty,” the gold-covered copper sculpture was provided on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the newspaper’s first publication of an English language edition in Paris. The gift returned a favor to France, which had given the Statue of Liberty to the United States on the 100th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. The flame also recognized the support of French citizens in the 1986 restoration of the Statue of Liberty. Among other things, the restoration returned the torch flame to the original design of French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, replacing a version

that included large glass-covered openings so the statue could be used as a lighthouse, as it was from 1886 until 1901. After more prominent locations for the 11-foot-tall Flame of Liberty were rejected by Parisian authorities, it was placed on a black and gray marble pedestal above the western opening of the Pont de l’Alma Tunnel that conducts l’Avenue de NewYork under the Place de l’Alma.

On Aug. 31, 1997, Diana, the Princess of Wales, was fatally injured in an automobile accident inside the Pont de l’Alma Tunnel. Mourners immediately began placing flowers and other expressions of their grief and respect at the base of the Flame of Liberty, located just above where she had died. As a result, the gold flame near the Place de l’Alma has become an unofficial memorial to Princess Diana, with many visitors assuming it was erected in her honor.
