School-bus safety is a must

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

As students across the country head back to school, Westfield’s IMMI brought together elected leaders, school oftransportation ficials, emergency responders and concerned parents to have an honest discussion about the behavioral and safety issues facing children on its school buses.

“Every day, school districts deal with student injuries, bullies, bad behavior and distracted drivers on their school buses,” said IMMI CEO Larry Gray. “At IMMI, we’re committed to child passenger safety, and we know there are no more excuses for putting our children at risk. That’s why we decided to hold our SafeGuard: School Bus Safety 101 event. The solutions are out there, but there is too much misinformation getting in the way of progress.”

IMMI is the worldwide leader in advanced safety restraints. During the presentation, IMMI Vice President James Johnson said the United States averages six fatalities and 17,000 injuries on school buses each year. Of the injuries, 58 percent (9,800) were noncrash injuries.

“With a lap and shoulder belt, it ensures you are in position and it reduces fatalities and injuries by 50 percent,” Johnson said.

Buses without seatbelts are designed for low-

speed frontal crashes, where students must be in the “compartment” and facing forward. Crashes that occur from the rear or cause roll-overs make the vehicle not as safe. IMMI’s SafeGuard brand leads the industry in providing more bus seats with lap-shoulder belts for school buses than any other manufacturer in the country.

“We’re proud we are protecting 700,000 students every day, but yellow school buses transport 24 million students every day. We’re just beginning to scratch the surface,” Gray said.

The company’s flex seats provide options for three small children to use seatbelts or two older students.

Johnson said it costs $7,000 to $10,000 to place seatbelts in 66-passenger school buses - $10,000 for larger buses and around $3,000 for small ones.

“The safety of our children is something all school districts care deeply about,” Congresswoman Susan Brooks (R-Ind.) said. “A lot of P.T.O.’s and school boards need to have this discussion.”

Bus accident – A Westfield Washington School bus was rear-ended on its way to school on Aug. 14. Chris Baldwin, WWS director of human resources, said bus No. 65 was stopped at the intersection of Ind. 32 and Gunther Boulevard.

“All students and the bus driver were safe.

There were no injuries,” he said. “The bus was not damaged and continued to Washington Woods Elementary School when cleared.”

Baldwin said the bus arrived to school a little bit late and the parents of the 41 students on board the bus were contacted and informed about the incident. Aug. 14 was the start of the WWS 2013-14 school year.

Matt and Teresa Skelton ride along the Asa-Freedom loop. (Photo

by Robert Herrington)

All Roads Loop • Level: Advanced • Distance: 5.05 miles • Entry points: Red Man Park and Freedom Trail Park.

• Description: This loop runs entirely on paved roads. It is only slightly hilly, but the lack of sidewalks along several roads has earned it an advanced level rating. If you are willing to give it a go, this loop travels by interesting places such as the site of the display gardens.

Asa-Freedom Loop • Level: Family • Distance: 3.5 miles • Entry points: Asa Bales Park and Freedom Trail Park.

• Description: A good portion of this loop is on designated trail but the rest is on road. There is one difficult crossing on Ind. 32 but the rest of the loop is great for the family.

Monon-Midland Inner Loop

Midland-Cool Creek Loop • Level: Family • Distance: 8.4 miles • Entry points: Cool Creek Park, Simon Moon Park and Liberty Park.

• Description: This loop goes by three and is perfect for the whole family – with parental supervision. Half of this loop is on designated trails, but the other half is on the road. Be careful riding on portions of Carey Road but also be sure to enjoy the beauty of Cool Creek Park.

Monon-Midland Outer Loop • Level: Family • Distance: 7.5 miles • Entry points: Quaker Park and Monon Trailhead.

• Description: This loop travels mostly through subdivisions and paved trails and will be great for the whole family. There are two parks to enjoy along this loop – Armstrong and Quaker.

Asa-Simon Line • Level: Beginner • Distance: 1.85 miles • Entry point: Asa Bales Park and Simon Moon Park.

• Description: This line connects Quaker and Simon Moon Parks, which provides a safe and enjoyable ride for people of all ages.

Westfield creates more options for bicyclists throughout city

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com The City of Westfield recently has created seven newly-mapped bike loops, adding a total of nearly 80 looped miles cover story for riders.

“We are so fortunate to have the Monon and Midland trails running through Westfield. The new bike loops take advantage of those trails while offering some more advanced routes for those expert riders,” Westfield Mayor Andy Cook said.

In addition to providing riders with a varied riding experience, the new bike loops help to link neighborhoods, parks, schools and create an opportunity for affordable recreation.

“The basic concept is to show that Westfield is a bicycle friendly community,” Park Director Melody Jones said. “It’s very important because if you have more families taking out young kids, we need to make sure they aren’t heading out on a bicycling experience that might be bad… It’s a safe place for anybody that’s cycling.”

The bike loops are grouped by difficulty and include beginner, family, advanced and expert levels. The length of the bike loops range from 1.85 miles to 33.3 miles. Signs have been installed along the bike loop routes to help riders identify the correct loop for their skill level. “(With family), you take a family but supervision is still needed for street crossing at lights or stop signs,” she said. “It’s multi-generational. It’s still an easy ride and not very long. The longest is eight miles.”

Jones said the advanced loops are more difficult and consist of a couple hills, minimum

shoulders or sidewalks.

“It’s not for a small child,” she said. “For expert loops, riders should pick their times – not during rush hour unless you can ride with traffic.”

Riders will be taken on routes along the Monon and Midland trails, through downtown Westfield and along surrounding countryside.

“We’re extending the cycling experience in Westfield, utilizing our trails and area,” Jones said. “We’re pointing out that not every bicycle recreation experience has to be exclusively on trails.”

Teresa Skelton, 58, has lived in Westfield her whole life and said the new focus on bike trails is fantastic, especially since she lives nearby several loops.

“I live here and work here. It’s great way to get exercise; a great way to see things in the community other than with an automobile. Our trail system connectivity is fabulous. It’s a nice way to connect the community, socially and even economically – you can ride to work, the bank or Kroger,” she said.

Jones said the loops are the first step and the second is the city’s complete street policy, which started earlier this year. The city has a spine of trails but connections still need to be made.

Jones said four major areas have been identified as priorities: 156th Street from Oak Ridge to Spring Mill roads, 161st Street from Oak Ridge to Spring Mill roads, 168th from Oak Ridge Road to the Monon, and 161st Street to Midland.

“We’re aggressively going after the quality of life,” she said. “Westfield will be the best connected community utilizing alternative transportation in Central Indiana.”

Little Eagle Creek Loop • Level: Expert • Distance: 14.7 miles • Entry point: Raymond Worth Park • Description: This loop is almost entirely on paved roads with little to no shoulder, but the many curves, mature trees and Little Eagle Creek make it a pleasant ride. Be careful; there are plenty of hills on this trip.

• Level: Advanced • Distance: 7.5 miles • Entry points: Quaker Park, Monon Trail, Asa Bales Park, Liberty Park, Cool Creek Park and Midland Trace Trail.

• Description: While most of this loop is on designated trails, the portions on roadways are tough enough to warrant an advanced rating. This loop connects four parks and has plenty of interests – whether that be the splash park, library, Old Friends Cemetery Park or the Monon Trail.

Northwest Border Loop • Level: Expert • Distance: 33.3 miles • Entry points: Raymond Worth Park and Grand Park.

• Description: This is the longest loop in Westfield and is filled with enough obstacles to rate it for expert riders only. It is almost entirely on paved roads with limited or no shoulders, is very hilly and is very long. The speed limits on roads for this loop go up to 50 miles per hour, but if you feel up to the challenge it is a very pleasant trip through agricultural fields, groves of trees and the Westfield countryside.

Another month, please Commentary by Terry Anker With the coming end of the annual lengthy break from the traditional school year upon us, the chatter around the house heralds the impending “end” of summer. As a fan of the long, warm days, I prefer to hang on to the calendar demarcation of its demise – Sept. 22.

But a return to the standard daily routine of bus stops and copious homework most assuredly will remind me that, indeed, the halcyon days have succumbed to the inevitable march of time. Perhaps someday, when the kids are grown and gone, we can return to a summer only ending with falling leaves and the smell of campfires. It might be like awaking without an alarm clock rousting one from slumber. The first light of dawn, corresponding with one’s own internal need for rest, would softly awaken to the new day.

Without regard to the flaming horseman that announces it, summer, at least as it is celebrated in the Anker home, is lunging to-

ward its final weeks. As with the close of most important moments, it leads one to pause and reflect on these months that have passed.

How will we remember the summer of 2013?

Will we remember it at all? Did we travel? Did we travel too much? Did we laugh? Did we cry?

Did we live these expansive days to their fullest potential? Did we take pause to enjoy the simple pleasures wrought by the sunshine on our shoulders?

All in all for our family, it has been a good season full of all the things that one expects to accompany the time. Perhaps the greatest test of enjoyment is to ask one’s self whether we are ready for the summer to end. From where I sit, the answer is an emphatic NO – another month or two would be just fine.

Were we perplexed? How about angered?

Maybe we were shocked? We’re talking about Congress staffers’ exemption from ObamaCare (if it ever happens), so the answers to those questions are no, no and no. We actually, and sadly, expected it. It got us thinking about the whole ObamaCare mess and the “dialogue” between Democrats and Republicans on the subject.

Republicans are determined to stop ObamaCare by any and all means necessary. The oft-repeated argument from Dems against the GOP effort is that that GOP has offered no alternative to the legislation. We’re of the opinion that no alternative is necessary. It’s simply a bad bill, and it needs to be killed. And yet, as always happens, what we’ll see is what we’ll deserve. Shockingly, the polls on ObamaCare consistently show majority opposition, and yet it continues to be shoved down our throats.

Even Obama’s strongest constituency, the union worker, is complaining about the bill.

Tells you something, doesn’t it? If the plan is as good as the boss says, why are there so many given exemptions, which he doles out as favors?

We don’t believe his plan, as written, will survive. Although, this bill is so bad and so costly, Congress will pass it, because Congress usually lets all of us down. Some form of the bill will rise. We believe strongly the president has more than a sneaking suspicion his plan, as we all know it, will continue to crumble at the edges and could ultimately implode. Again, he’s just taking care of his pals and buddies by exempting them. The crux of our beef: The majority of the rocket scientists in Washington want to force something down our throats, but they are too good for the legislation. How can that possibly be? We’ll tell you: America voted them into office, that’s how.

‘Thank God school is back!’

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Thank God! School finally has started back. I know, I sound like a broken record (that’s an old version of a CD, kids) because I keep saying the same thing every August, but humor I really suck at parenting during the summer. Though I try my darndest to implement routine, I simply cannot compete with the beautifully rigid structure of the academic year.

Few if any of our supposed summer rules worked out this time around. Maybe it was because my husband Doo and I were gallivanting in North Africa for the better half of June or perhaps because our kids are older and aren’t as easy to coerce, but by the time we finally went Medieval on their butts about the chore chart and Amish Day, I was buying cartons of number two pencils and spiral notebooks. Seriously, trying to coax a teenager out of bed by noon was hard enough, let alone getting him to mow the yard before the wheat needed harvesting. And that reading program I was so gung-ho about in May? The only member of this family who set foot in a library was Doo, on the multiple occasions he needed to escape the chaos of our house.

Basically, I ended up fighting twice as many battles as usual while our minions did seemingly half the amount of work. But I take full responsibility for my children’s laziness. As a teacher,

summer is my break from reality, too. I have no desire to awake early and make sure the dog is walked before prime sun-burning hours. I don’t want to insist that the Xbox gets shut down only to have the boys nag me because they’re bored. And I’m certainly not going to dig my heels in when my daughters decide to turn their bathroom into a nail/make-up salon when they should be Cloroxing their toilet. Can’t a girl just read Nora Roberts in peace and quiet?

So, I am honestly thrilled that everyone, including I, is back to school. Despite the homework insanity and lunch drama that undoubtedly will begin to creep back into our lives, I love that the kids are out of the house and occupied for at least 50 percent of the day. I love that Doo is now the primary caregiver in the mornings and afternoons (as I am busy raking in the big bucks dealing with other people’s teens) and might soon feel compelled to do the dishes and laundry. I love that there will be purpose and order to our weeks, and that the calendar will again dominate our refrigerator.

I’ll probably change my tune next spring, but for now, thank God school is back! Peace out.

Who knew it was hiccups?

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

It was Friday night and I had been at it for almost six minutes. “At your age, I’m not sure your heart can take this,” said my wife. Then to show how concerned she was, Mary humor Ellen burst out laughing.

Achoo! If I had known it was this easy to get such an appreciative response, I’d have sneezed 35 times in a row a lot earlier in our marriage. My persistent sternutation (that’s sneezing) was, for some reason, a source of great merriment, far outweighing my fall last week down a full flight of stairs while I was vacuuming. In fairness to my wife, before the guffawing there is a brief span of time while she confirms I have not broken my spine or suffered a head trauma. Then let the fun begin.

Achoo! (No. 36), although in all honesty this is just an estimate, because you don’t start counting sneezes until you realize it may be the beginning of a historic run, and then it may be too late to get an accurate count.

Achoo! (No. 37) and now Mary Ellen was wiping away the tears, asking me if there was possibly some grass stuck up my nose. At least I think that’s what she said. It was hard to understand her. However, in 33 years of marriage, that would have been the first inquiry of this nature. And we grew up in the ‘60s.

Achoo! (No. 38) and we were nearing a point

where my wife’s side was starting to ache. I wondered whether her reaction to my situation had now equaled her hysterical response to my walking into a glass door at the Haversticks’ or banging my head under the kitchen sink after fixing the garbage disposal.

Achoo! (No. 39) and my sneezes were now more closely spaced which meant that poor Mary Ellen had virtually no time to breathe and was gasping for air. I felt bad for her. She had been having such a good time.

Achoo! (No. 40), but at that sneeze, I sensed a slight decline in her enjoyment of my predicament. Then I made the mistake of asking for a Kleenex. She handed me one of those tiny squares from a little package in her purse and for some reason this made her start laughing all over again.

There was no 41st sneeze. Calm reigned in the Wolfsie home. I wanted to watch a movie on cable so I picked an old favorite: “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.” Mary Ellen went upstairs to read. She said she wasn’t in the mood to laugh.

It features authentic Greek food and pastries, Greek beer and wine and live music from wellknown area Greek musician George Karras. Traditional Greek dancing will be presented by the Holy Trinity Hellenic Dance Troupes, and Greek dance lessons will be offered as well. An open marketplace will feature a large array of food and drink, and Greek-themed T-shirts, jewelry and icons also will be available for purchase.

Other attractions include a children’s activity tent, a Greek cultural tent and tours of the magnificent Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox church.

“It’s been a true privilege to work side-by-side

Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox parishioners prepared more than 72 dozen kourambiedes cookies (a butter cookie covered in powdered sugar) in preparation for GreekFest 2013.

with so many dedicated volunteers over the past three years,” said Lawrence N. Eleftheri, Greek Fest president. “Our goal has been to promote our culture and faith while bringing our parish family together in order to celebrate our heritage with the Central Indiana community. It’s been wonderful to see so many mem-

bers of our Parish involved as they donate time, energy, and resources for the benefit of our Holy Trinity family while having fun and building strong memories to be passed on to future generations.”

Presale coupon books are available at area Marsh supermarkets which will include free parking on church grounds. Purchase of a $50 coupon book includes premier parking and an additional $5 toward festival purchases. Premier parking on church grounds without the advance purchase books is $5, and free parking with shuttle service is available at Riley Llama Farms, at the corner of 106th Street and Towne Road.

For the first time this year, retirement communities from the area were invited to bring attendees to experience a Greek Fest meal, along with an Iconography and architectural church tour, before the festival opening. They will have the opportunity to dine banquet-style, inside. Groups interested in arranging future events may contact 733-3033.

WARMfest will close out summer

By Mark Johnson • editorial@youarecurrent.com

As the summer season begins to wind down, many people will undoubtedly look to make the most of the remaining days LIVE MUSIC of sunshine, warm weather and outdoor activities.

Many view the summer months as bookended by Memorial Day and Labor Day, with the latter serving as a kind of last hurrah for the summer months.

For this upcoming Labor Day weekend, Broad Ripple Park will help to close out summer on a high and festive note. On that weekend, the park will host the inaugural White River Arts & Music Festival, or WARMfest, a three-day music and arts festival that will feature local, regional and national acts as well as the Indie Arts & Vintage Marketplace.

WARMfest, though, has more than just an entertainment agenda. Part of the proceeds from the festival will go to help the Carl G. Fisher Society a non-profit organization that seeks to restore the White River to its original greatness as a site for entertainment and education.

“WARMfest is actually a vision in progress,” WARMfest Executive Director Dan Ripley said. “Our goal is to cultivate a stewardship of the White River. We wanted to create an event that would raise awareness first in Broad Ripple, then in the city of Indianapolis. Our goal is to revitalize and restore the area, to bring it back to the great resource that it once was. Our festival is about much more than just music.”

The impetus for the event began as a collaborative endeavor between Indy Parks & Recreation, Keep Indianapolis Beautiful, and CGFS. That effort sought to clean up Broad Ripple Park’s shoreline, thus giving patrons of the park an unobstructed view of the White River.

“That was definitely one of the goals,” Ripley said.

“To clean up the shoreline and restore views to the park that haven’t been visible for years. This is nothing original. There is a rich history of Broad Ripple Park and White River. These were vacation and resort areas with amusement parks and what was, for many years, the largest outdoor pool in the state.”

Yet, those who attend WARMfest will be treated to a wide array of food, art, games and activities. A diverse group of musical acts will perform across five stages throughout the three days of the festival. Veteran performers such as Big Head Todd and the Monsters and Michael Franti & Spearhead will share the stage with up and coming artists such as Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue, while local legend Jennie Devoe also will perform.

Ripley is very pleased with the musical lineup, a variety of styles and genres that truly offers something for everyone.

“We’ve partnered with promoters MOKB and that has been very beneficial to me. They did a great job with the talent. We are creating a festival that moves people and also provides funding and resources,” he said.

Turn your craft surplus into cash editorial@youarecurrent.com Call it “Goodwill for Crafters,” “Craft-palooza” or whatever you’d like, but the Crafters Flea Market is a day-long events yard sale of strictly craft supplies.

Always In Stitches invites crafters of all types to set up booths from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sept. 14 to sell any kind of craft supplies they have on hand and no longer need. The Crafters Flea Market will be immediately behind the quilting, yarn and fabric store at 1808 E. Conner St., Noblesville.

“When you’re a crafter, you always have more supplies than you’re going to use,” said Lyneen Burrow, shop owner. “It doesn’t matter what your craft uses, you’re going to accumulate fabric, paper, yarn, paint, wood, clay, embellishments, kits, patterns and books that you don’t use, won’t complete or no longer need.

The $10 booth fee will be given to charity, but the sellers will keep their proceeds and get a $10 Always In Stitches gift certificate in appreciation of their full-day participation and for cleaning up their area before leaving.

The Crafters Flea Market is open to all; spaces fill quickly. For more information, call Always In Stitches at 776-4227. In case of rain, the sale will be held on Sept. 21.

Weight won’t affect necklift

Commentary by Dr. Barry Eppley

Q: I am a 55-year-old women who is a little overweight. At 5’4” and 190 pounds, I wouldn’t call myself fat just above my ideal body weight. The realaesthetics ity is that this weight is very stable, and I have been relatively the same weight for almost 20 years. I exercise and eat reasonably and this is just the way it is. I am fine with that as I am otherwise healthy. My face has always been a little plump but otherwise firm until the past few years.

I have noticed that there is some jowling that has appeared along the jawline but the real problem is my neck. It has gotten so droopy and saggy that I know it is time for some type of necklift. Am I too fat to get a facelift?

A: Your question is a good one and would be

Her two-year certification became effective on July 9. She is the only PCMH Certified Content Expert in Indianapolis. According to NCQA, the PCMH is a healthcare setting that facilitates partnerships between individual patients and their personal physicians and when appropriate, the patient’s family.

a lot more relevant if you were younger. But as you have gotten older, regardless of your weight, the skin in the neck has begun to sag. This sagging is the result of the skin stretching and loosening, no longer being able to support the weight of the fat it contains. Many men and women with similar situations and face shapes actually get great benefit from neck reduction/tightening.

Until proven otherwise, it may be that you may get a greater benefit from a necklift than someone who is thinner with less loose skin. Delaying a necklift may make sense if you are planning to lose more than a few pounds of weight but that clearly is not the case.

Start and end with gratitude Commentary by CJ McClanahan

If you’ve watched TV, listened to the radio or surfed the internet recently, then you know why.

We are move the needle constantly bombarded with the following message – “Your life is missing something. You lack a nice car, rock hard abs or a fully-funded 401k.”

All advertising is built on scarcity/fear. After hearing that type of message thousands of times a day, it’s difficult to keep things in perspective.

But you can do it. Here are some simple strategies to get you started.

First, start and end your day with a prayer of gratitude. In other words, count your blessings. I

would encourage you to write them down.

Next, focus on the needs of others. Find someone in your life that needs a kind word or a helping hand.

Finally, disconnect from the media. Go to dinner with your family and leave the phone at home. Try reading a book at night instead of watching the evening news.

As with most things in life, the solution is simple. All you need to do is execute.

Commentary by Vicky Earley

You know you want a home that looks pulled together. You would like to know that you will get the most out of the amount budgeted for the project. You recognize that indoors you do your profession well but interior design was not your calling.

This is the time to call in the services of an interior designer or decorator.

If you have not used a designer before, it can be intimidating.

The fear and mystery can be enough to halt the project before the first fabric is found.

The best projects are the result of communication and trust. A close bond develops between a good designer and the client during the design process so, first and foremost, the individual who is about to step into your home has to mesh with you, your family and your lifestyle.

Finding that perfect decorating partner is the biggest challenge you will encounter in the process. The best interior designers are one part artist, one part business professional, one part circus master, one part visionary and one part translator. Don’t expect to Google “talented decorators” and have your perfect design professional appear.

Ask around. Ask someone who has a home that you admire.

Keep in mind that some hold their designer’s name close to the vest… just like the best babysitters. Check references. Double check what others have said on Angie’s List.

When you interview the potential designer, look for someone who asks questions and listens to the answers. A good decorator should constantly probe to solicit a vision for the final product. If pertinent questions are not being posed, it is a sign that you are not the focus.

Musty mattress must – Is the old mattress musty? Marry Ellen Pinkham says try thinly sprinkling baking soda on top of it. Walk away and do something for the next few hours, and then vacuum the mattress off. – www.hgtv.com

Look for someone who does not operate as a “Yes” person. That is a sales person, not a design professional. You are hiring them to facilitate your vision without the pitfalls of going it alone.

Before committing to a designer, ask yourself the following: Do I feel comfortable with this person? Remember, you will be spending time with this person so a level of rapport is essential.

Is he or she clear about the costs involved? There should be a clear understanding of how fees will be charged in advance. Surprises are not a good thing in this situation.

Unless the designer selected is totally devoid of talent, the benefits will outweigh the cost. Just the avoidance of one mistake can be worth the entire consultation fee. Parts of a project that have to be redone due to error are costly. The elimination of sleepless nights due to uncertainty is worth every cent of consultation billing.

Where glib and glitz mingle Commentary by Don Knebel

The Tower of London is one of England’s most popular destinations. Well rehearsed “Beefeaters” explain its history with Travel ghoulish delight and the crown jewels dazzle visitors riding past them on a people mover. But the glib and the glitz mingle with the ghastly.

At the heart of the 18-acre Tower complex is a castle erected in 1078 by William the Conqueror after he crossed the English Channel and defeated Anglo-Saxon King Harold. A series of buildings and towers were added later in two concentric circles around the original castle. Although used for many purposes, the Tower of London has served as a prison almost from the beginning and its stone towers have been the scenes of crimes and intrigue.

The so-called “Bloody Tower” memorializes two young princes murdered there by their uncle, the future King Richard III. The Wakefield Tower, where King Henry VI was murdered as he prayed, displays a collection of instruments of torture, used to extract “confessions” from those whose religious beliefs didn’t match those of the monarch. The most frequently used instrument was the Duke of Exeter’s Daughter, named after the Constable of the Tower who introduced it.

Ropes wound around oppositely rotating drums stretched the victim on a rack, inducing pain so severe that a confession was almost inevitable.

Although known for its beheadings, the Tower of London itself was the scene of only a few executions. Condemned prisoners not deserving the privacy of a Tower execution were killed on

nearby Tower Hill, their newly severed heads held high for the cheering crowds. As told by the Beefeaters, Tower executioners were notoriously inept, one taking 11 whacks of his axe before finishing off the Countess of Salisbury. Another, a butcher by trade, completed his job with a knife. Anne Boleyn was afforded the courtesy of a French swordsman, who dispatched her on the Tower green with one stroke.

A trip to London isn’t complete without a visit to the Tower. But expect not only to be entertained, but to be reminded of how cruel human beings can be to each other, often in the name of religion.

LOVE YOUR HOME AGAIN.

Don’t make this harder than it is Commentary by Jordan Fischer

Question: “People at my office often talk about their ‘brother-in-laws’ or ‘sister-in-laws,’ and it drives me grammar guy crazy. Please write an article clearing up this nonsense. Hopefully some of them will see it.”

Answer: Sounds like this one has been wearing on you for a while. I’ll see what I can do.

Words like “brother-in-law,” “U-boat,” “not-forprofit,” etc., are known as hyphenated compound nouns. They can get a bit tricky at times; since there are often several words you have to deal with when deciding where to place an “s” to make their possessive form.

The rule in this case is to place the “s” after the primary noun: “brothers-in-law,” “U-boats,” “not-for-profits.” Why “brothers-in-law” and not “brother-in-laws?” Well, think: Are you saying you have multiple brothers (by law), or that you have a brother due to multiple laws? I’m guessing the former. The same logic holds for “sisters-in-law,” “parents-in-law,” etc.

Now, if we want to make a hyphenated compound noun possessive, things are very simple:

Add an apostrophe and an “s.” “My brother-inlaw’s boat is ready for the summer.” “The not-forprofit’s fundraiser should be a blast.” We don’t always get simple, standard rules in English, so enjoy this one and don’t make it any harder than it needs to be.

Just to be thorough: On the off-chance that you ever wanted to make a hyphenated compound noun plural and possessive, you just follow both rules. If you have multiple brothers-in-law, and they all have boats, you’re talking about your brothers-in-law’s boats. Don’t let yourself get intimidated just because you’re forming a “plural, possessive, hyphenated compound noun.” Just add “s” to the primary noun, and an apostrophe and “s” to the end of the word. Simple as that.

One final note: Even though you didn’t ask about it, the plural of “attorney general” is “attorneys general.” I think we can all agree it sounds weird … but there it is. Hopefully you found that edifying.

STRAIGHTEN UP FOR FALL After sporting beach waves this summer, switch it up a little, and straighten out your look with a stylish and sleek ‘do. Part hair down the middle and work a styling crème, such as Salon 01’s “Straight & Smooth”, through damp hair. Blow dry straight and part down the side or middle. If necessary, go over face-framing pieces with a flat iron.

t

Ci

When straightening hair, keep in mind that your look should be polished, yet natural. Going overboard with a straightener is a no-no.

NO FUSS FACE We all have those days where we plan on sticking close to home, running a few errands, maybe hitting the gym in the late afternoon, or meeting a couple girlfriends on the Monon with strollers in tow.

While a ponytail is a very acceptable (and even chic) hairstyle for these activities, we cringe at the idea of being out in public (or out of our bathroom for that matter) without paying some sort of attention to our face. Follow these steps for a low maintenance but fresh look: 1. Dot concealer on blemishes and under eye circles with your finger. Concealer will help even out your skin tone without needing to apply a layer of foundation.

2. Dab a tiny bit of liquid or gel blush to your cheeks and use your finger to blend it in for a fresh glow.

3. Apply a stroke or two of mascara, or simply use an eyelash curler to accentuate and widen your eyes

BRIDE TO BE As you may guess, autumn is one of the most popular seasons for weddings. The cool temperatures and changing leaves make for a beautiful, scenic setting for the big day. Salon 01 has beauty tips for you that will make your upcoming autumn wedding day one to remember for a lifetime.

• For a fall wedding, keep your lips a rich shade, such as a dark plum or burgundy.

• Bring some sparkle to your eyes with gold eyeliner.

• Remember to use a cream bronzer underneath your cheekbone to illuminate your face.

• Remember to freshen up your hair color the week before the big day so they are rich and bright.

Call Salon 01 today to speak with our Bridal Director to schedule hair and makeup appointments for you and your bridal party. We will work hard to make sure your day and your look are flawless.

Space planning is the key to a successful basement remodel

Commentary by Larry Greene

Existing basement: Located in the Saddlecreek addition on the west side of Carmel, this home had suited its owners since they built it.

However, as the children blueprint for grew, it was time to reimprovement assess how they utilized their space. “Now that the kids are older, we do not have as many toys,” stated one of the homeowners. “We created a family project of purging the old stuff to create an area that we could all use.”

Design phase: Creating a multi-use space was the goal of this remodel. “I have a homebased sewing business,” said one of the homeowners. “I needed space to work and stage. Also, my husband needs room for his new hobbies.

And, we have always wanted an exercise area that was separate from the kids’ area.” The lower level was previously unfinished, but was still being used as a work, exercise and storage space for the family. Transforming the original basement into a welcoming place for the whole family meant designating areas for their many interests.

Space planning for family activities: The final design created activity vignettes within the original footprint of the basement. The two spaces around the central staircase were long and narrow with two alcoves. End walls of the main room became hobby and work areas with plenty

Before, the family’s basement area was used to store toys and other items a young family needs.

of space left in between for large gatherings.

The media room and musical instrument practice area were tucked into the alcoves. The exercise room was set into the area on the backside of the staircase, where a large gathering space was not needed. The existing plumbing dictated the placement of the full bathroom. Fortunately, it was located on a back wall that supported the intended work flow. Natural light from the two daylight windows was supplemented with a comprehensive lighting plan.

Speciality spaces: Cabinetry was designed for the intended use of each area. The sewing space needed long tables and lower and upper cabinets. The fish aquarium area needed a sturdy countertop and floor space. In the bathroom, a decorative utility sink provides the space needed to clean the fish tank while blending with the overall décor.

Final results: “The remodel has changed how

After, purging items the family no longer needed created room for more specialized areas for mom and dad, such as a sewing space and a special place for an aquarium. (Submitted photo)

we live,” stated one of the homeowners. “My two daughters go down there and hang out together.

We have family movie night and do lots of crafts, too. It’s nice having a practice area without having the rest of the house involved. We can just shut the door and no one hears anything.”
