Torch passes through Westfield Commentary by Zach Burton On Oct. 13, our community will stop briefly to cheer on the Bicentennial Torch as it passes through back in the day Westfield.

The five-pound torch will pause in Westfield in front of Union Bible College on South Union Street from 4:45 to 5 p.m.

In 1860, a committee of Quaker residents was put together consisting of David Baldwin, Calvin Hunt and Levi T. Pennington in order to collect funding to build a school for members of the Society of Friends. After raising $2,000, a two-story building was erected on a threeacre campus. On Jan. 7, 1861, Union High School officially opened, with a total of 65 students.

Required courses for a student at Union consisted of three years of Latin, algebra, botany, zoology, geometry, rhetoric, general history, logic and moral science.

It should be noted that although coeducational institutions were a rarity during this period of American history, Union’s first graduating class had one girl, Manzanita Anderson Covode.

Westfield resident sets up spooky display

Jolie Renee with her Halloween village that she began creating in September. (Photos by Anna Skinner)

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Trick-or-treaters come to Jolie Renee’s house for more reasons than candy on the evening of Oct. 31. cover story Starting in September, Renee began constructing an elaborate village full of spooky figurines, Halloween-themed buildings and a scary terrain. She’s been creating the spectacle since 2004, when she and her husband, Brian Paulson, moved to Westfield.

“I put villages together on a smaller scale before, but once we moved here and had more space, I decided to use the dining room to display villages and have the trick-or-treaters come in and see them,” she said. “Over the years, my villages have been getting bigger and bigger. At first, the trick-or-treaters were kind of reluctant to come in. What I found was the parents would come in with them and then the parents ended up liking it so much so that now every year when the trickor-treaters come, the parents are coming in

automatically to see it as well.”

Renee tries to switch up her Halloween layout each year, changing the terrain from mountains to riverside villages and locating the buildings and figurines in new spots. Adjacent to her dining room, she sets up a Halloween gallery in the living room.

Many Halloween decorations are made outside of the U.S., because once an original artist’s work becomes mainstream, it is then reproduced and imported back into the nation. Renee attends various Halloween events across the nation to purchase one or two new unique Halloween decorations made by a U.S. artist. She also acknowledges purchasing items from a local store for a spooky effect “I will go to Party City and get little skeletons because there is no way to get original artwork of something like that for a haunting atmosphere,” she said.

Renee began collecting in the 1990s at country folk events and always gravitated toward Halloween items.

“When the trick-or-treaters are here, I have

Jolie Renee has created a Halloween village and a gallery room every Halloween since 2004.

scary music going, and the candy and some of the animated things like sensor items that activate when you reach to get candy,” she said. “I enjoy it. I get a little carried away with it because I feel like I don’t want to do something average. I don’t think it’s worthwhile to do anything unless you really do above average.”

Renee said of all the materials, Styrofoam is the easiest to use as a terrain because holes for electrical wires or tree figurines and other materials are simple to create. She purchases her figurines from two manufacturers and doesn’t necessarily use all of the figurines and buildings each year. She said she frequently purchases items on eBay because many users sell the items in good condition.

Renee sets up her village in her Pines of Westfield neighborhood home, but she said kids from bordering neighborhoods also trek over to see her exhibit.

Approximately 110 kids and families stroll through her display during trick-or-treat hours.

Besides her village, Renee said she also goes “above average” in the candy department.

Jolie Renee’s favorite holiday: Although she goes all out for Halloween, Jolie Renee said when it comes to her favorite holiday, it’s a tie between Christmas and Halloween.

“It’s a toss-up between Christmas and Halloween,” she said. “As far as Halloween is concerned, I love the association with the fall colors and harvest season, the mums and the pumpkins and the whole nine yards.

The fact that people have fun and it doesn’t matter their economics (situation), Halloween is a season you can have fun no matter what.”

Yet she decorates for Christmas as well, and she always created a Christmas village until she recently began to have less time to decorate and sold all her Christmas pieces except for two.

“I have found it’s just a lot of work. I just thought I would cut down on the Christmas village, but this whole (living) room would be decorated with Christmas items,” she said.

“It’s become a gallery room.”

The cat’s meow

the raging moderate Trump certain he won debate

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Will Durst An estimated 84,000,000 Americans tuned into the first presidential debate at New York’s Hofstra University last month, but Donald Trump did not seem to be among them. Mentally he had checked out, maybe to seek admission to Dr. Snuffleupagus’ clinic to score some surplus Claritin. A consensus of post debate polls revealed 54 percent of respondents thought Hillary Clinton won, 24 percent considered Trump the winner while the other 22 percent either had no opinion or looked at the questioner like they were crazy for even asking. The month of September witnessed a Trump surge that thrust the real estate mogul into a dead heat, so these numbers indicate half his supporters thought he lost. His own spin-doctors were ecstatic he managed to pronounce his own name correctly. Trump embarked on a post-debate oblivion tour to tell whoever would listen (Fox News) how everybody was telling him he had totally won the debate by a wide margin. Presumably these are the same “delusionals” who so often remark on his terrific temperament.

Not just a great temperament, the best temperament in the history of presidential politics. The major debate knock against Hillary Clinton is that she was too scripted, but that’s more Team Trump sniping, jealous that the former Secretary of State was able to string words together into actual sentences with subjects and predicates and points and stuff. The show’s not over. There are debates scheduled for Oct. 9 and Oct. 19.

Happy birthday, Indiana

Commentary by Terry Anker

Every 200 years or so, we ought to have a party. And since we’ve waited so long, let’s make it a big one. Many of us Hoosiers remember from our Indiana history class that our fine state officially joined these United States December 11, 1816, to be exact. Over these 20 decades that mark Indiana as a defined political geography, we have often taken note of the significant passing of time, the accomplishments of those who came before us and the gentle landscape with which we find ourselves presented.

During the celebrations commemorating our centennial year, we recognized our famous citizens and contributors. We built monuments to our contributions to the preservation of the Union. We created our first community foundation. We founded our system of state parks. We paraded while brass bands played.

Today, yet another century has come and gone. Since the land upon which we now reside has been home to countless humans

for 10,000 years, we might wonder if a couple of hundred years warrants much of a to-do. Yet given the fleeting days of short human lives, shouldn’t we pause occasionally to recognize our contributions, however fleeting?

Officially, the lead party planner is the Indiana Bicentennial Commission (in.gov/ ibc). These good people have put together all kinds of important facts, places to visit and things to do in honor of the anniversary.

Check out the website if you are inclined.

But if your busy calendar allows for only one birthday party for Indiana, consider joining me for a leg of the statewide Bicentennial Torchbearer Relay to be held at Conner Prairie in the late afternoon Oct. 13 – then stick around for the popular Headless Horseman tradition at the interactive history park!

Q U OTE OF THE W EEK “Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.”

— H. L. Mencken

Our cat just celebrated her seventh birthday. Hooray! We’ve managed to keep her alive all these years despite moving humor houses, acquiring a dog and occasionally forgetting about her entirely over long weekends. The most amazing thing is, I might love Ginger more than my kids (interpret that sentence however you’d like; both ways are true). And that’s saying something because I am not a pet person and, according to my husband, Doo, I am cold and dead inside. Perhaps that’s why I love the cat. She totally appeals to my practical, stoic nature.

1. Felines have the lowest maintenance plans of any domesticated animal, especially the short-hair domestic options.

I’ve never taken Ginger for a walk in the single digit temps, swept up enough of her hair to form another cat, or cleaned her diarrhea out of the shag carpet. I cannot say the same for our lab.

2. Cleaning the litter box makes for the perfect punishment for the short people who live with us. Even with the multi-cat clumping and ammonia-absorbing super formula, scooping poop is stinky and degrading. Love it!

3. I dig her attitude. When I walk in from work, there’s no needy bull like I get from the dog (or my kids). If Ginger decides to grant me with her presence, it’s more like, “Hey, woman. You’re alive.

I’m going back to my room. Call me when dinner’s ready.” So cool.

4. O.K., I may not be entirely dead inside, because I do believe there is something magical about having a soft fuzzy creature purring with contentment on your lap on a cold winter’s night. Who needs the snuggie when you have a cat? Actually, Ginger’s favorite spot is atop our snuggie, making for a double dose of adorable warmth!

5. You never know what you’ll find in the fridge. Seriously, Doo thought he heard meowing in the kitchen, opened the door to the refrigerator, and there she was. Oops! No worries, Ginger hadn’t been cooling for more than a minute or so. Five tops.

Long live Ginger, and cats everywhere!

Peace out.

VIEWS

Current in Westfield

www.currentinwestfield.com

Getting a leg up Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Publicly sharing personal medical problems is not a good idea. Several years ago, I mentioned in a column that I humor was losing my sense of smell. A doctor wrote me and suggested I might have a brain tumor. Others just said I should have my head examined. I’m not sure if this was the same advice.

I received similar notes of concern when I reported my sneezing fits — sometimes a couple dozen achoos in a row. A reader commented this might be an indication of a severe case of “drug-induced rhinitis” and that she was going to pray for me. Then she said, “God bless you.” She needed to say it 25 times.

One suggestion for my persistent nighttime leg cramps was mustard — cheap mustard, not gourmet types like Grey Poupon or Gulden’s. More like French’s. He recommended two teaspoons right before going to sleep. I didn’t tell my wife I tried it, and when we got into bed, Mary Ellen suggested I change toothpaste brands. She said not only did my breath stink, but also my teeth were yellowing.

Referring to my leg cramps, one reader asked, “Dick, ever try soap?” I took that kind of

personally. I asked my doctor about all these cures. He had heard that putting a bar of soap in the bed worked, but he hadn’t mentioned it to me, figuring I already knew about it. How would I know that? Did I go to Harvard medical school like he did?

I tried the soap, hoping Mary Ellen wouldn’t notice. She’s always accusing me of falling for every wacky idea.

“Dick, what’s that strong soapy smell?”

“Look, Mary Ellen, don’t think I’m totally nuts — but I put a bar of soap between the bed sheets.”

“That is incredibly weird, but it might cure those leg cramps.”

My absolute favorite email response was from a woman who said she sometimes missed work because she spent the entire day in bed with gramps. She thought it was a hereditary problem.

I’m hoping hers was a spelling problem.

Direct primary care launches

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com After months of developing its direct primary care business model, Freedom Healthworks found its first business partner change in Westfield Premier Partners, a practice owned by doctors Robert and Elaine Habig for the past 36 years.

By switching to direct primary care, a change that will go into effect Nov. 1, the practice can eliminate the insurance companies out of the exam room.

“It’s just direct care between the patient and doctors,” Elaine said. “We get the insurance company out of the exam room. Most people pick their doctor because of who signs up with their insurance company instead of being able to choose the doctor they want.”

Under direct primary care, Westfield Premier Partners will use a subscription-type service as well as services and tests clearly listed with prices.

“We’ve been in medicine a long time and medicine has changed a lot, and we want to be there more for our patients and do a better job with more care,” Bob said. “It’s what old-fashioned medicine used to be. You came in with plenty of time with physicians. It was one-onone, and it wasn’t hurried. You felt fulfilled and

your health was better taken care of.”

The Habigs said the concept is new to Westfield and the first of its kind in the area.

Freedom Healthworks handles the administrative end of the practice by dealing with the accounting, bookkeeping and more.

“It’s just going to be a whole new experience,” Elaine said. “The difference between this and other medical offices we have been in is the experience. We are all experienced with decades of care.”

Two informational sessions about direct primary care and the differences it offers will be 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Oct. 10 and Oct. 17 at the Westfield High School Auditorium, 18250 N. Union St.

IU Health pledges more AEDs news@currentinwestfield.com When Indiana State Police Supt. Doug Carter took the podium during a media announcement with IU Health philanthropy at IU Health North Hospital Sept. 28, he was moved by the donation of 15 Automatic External Defibrillators for his state troopers.

After a surprise announcement at the end of the press conference, Carter had reason to be even more grateful to IU Health and Jon Goble, president of the hospital’s north region.

“Why can’t we put an AED in every police car?” Goble said. “That’s the objective. The faster we equip your vehicles with AEDS and give you the tools, the more lives we will save.”

To make that a reality, Goble announced that IU Health would pledge an additional 50 AEDs by the end of 2016. Those 50 are in addition to the 15 already pledged and also those funded through proceeds from the Bolt for the Heart 5K, which will take place in Carmel on Thanksgiving Day. AEDs are predominately used on patients who suffer sudden cardiac arrest. Among the successes of AED use in the state of Indiana is Danny Rhoad, a 13-year-old Westfield boy

whose life was saved by an AED that was stationed at Grand Park in May. He was playing baseball when a ball struck him in the chest.

Coaches ran to a concession stand, which had an AED, and used the defibrillator to restore Rhoad’s heartbeat.

“Simply put, those people saved Danny’s life,” said Laura Rhoad, Danny’s mother.

“Without the AED Danny wouldn’t be here.

We’re grateful to be here, to be part of this celebration.”

New owners adapt to Jan’s Village Pizza

By Chris Bavender news@currentinwestfield.com

Walk into Jan’s Village Pizza and you’ll notice the new paint, the small round table tucked away in a cozy restaurant corner for couples, and the new owners, Kim and Bryan Kercheval. The couple took ownership Aug. 1.

“I wanted to get back into the restaurant industry and this opportunity presented itself.

I went into work with Jan (Miller) about two years ago to learn the recipes and the business operation,” said Kim, who has 20 years’ experience in the restaurant business.

The Jan’s locations in Westfield and neighboring Sheridan had been owned by Steve and Jan Miller since 1997. The couple decided to retire.

“We know they’ll do just fabulous, continuing the tradition of good pizzas and good service we started,” the Millers wrote in a post on Jan’s Village Pizza’s Facebook page.

“We are so excited for them, and for you our customers, a new era begins.”

A new era that included a makeover of the Westfield shop – including a new floor for the kitchen and new paint in the upper room and main dining room.

“All of this was possible because we had so many people willing to help us clean and paint. Friends would come by and say, ‘I’ve got an hour to paint,’” Kim said. “The staff was a tremendous help by coming in and painting and doing whatever needed to be done to help get the shop open. My mom and sister came in from Illinois and stayed for about two weeks to help us get everything ready. We couldn’t have done it without them.”

Another new touch is the date table.

“We had a small, cute round table we felt would be a perfect table for this corner. We wanted a cozy area for a couple on a date or just an area where you could really con-

nect with the person you were dining with,” Kim said. “We ask everyone who sits there if they’d like their picture taken.”

The menu features new dessert items: a white macadamia nut cookie with French vanilla ice cream and a raspberry topping, and a chocolate chip cookie with mint chocolate chip ice cream with a chocolate drizzle. Pizza fans will still find their favorite pies on the menu, including The Special and The Mediterranean.

“This pizza (Mediterranean) was the winner of the 2013 Midwest Pizza Challenge. The customers love the ingredients and the taste of it,” Kim said. “The Special is amazing because it has everything on it. Each bite is a deliciousness of veggies and meats.”

Jan’s has been staying open late for home football games and offering a buffet with special pricing for students who come in after the games. Plans also are in the works for some “fun ideas” for adults and kids alike.

“We are continuously working to improve our operation but will have the same great quality that Jan’s Village Pizza has always had,” Kim said.

Dispatches Recycling grants available – The Indiana Department of Environmental Management has announced the availability of grant funds from the Recycling Market Development Board. Eligible candidates may seek a grant ranging from $1,000 to $500,000 with a 50 percent required match. Grant requests will be accepted through Oct. 17.

Cursed Castle begins Oct. 8

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Through the past 53 years, the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis has seen haunted houses ranging from family fun pirate ships to vampires, carnivals, a wicked workshop and more.

The haunted houses change each year.

This year, the museum will be transformed into a Cursed Castle to provide two different events for families.

“We offer two unique experiences for families for Halloween. The first is Lights-On Hours, and those are for the trick-or-treaters, for kids to go through with parents and get a goodie bag,” said Bis Feldman, head witch and co-chair of this year’s haunted house. “Our haunters have no makeup and are very friendly. The second is Frightening Hours. That is more of a typical haunted house experience. Haunters don’t touch anybody that goes through. It’s more of a jump-out, creepy kind of scare situation for those that enjoy that type of thing on Halloween.”

Feldman said youth in the Frightening Hours experience range more toward junior high ages, but there have been some

The Cursed Castle will open Oct. 8. (Submitted photo)

younger children wanting to participate in the past. There is no age minimum.

Tickets are $8 per person, and children under 2 years old are free. Beginning Oct. 8, Lights-On will be open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, and from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sundays and Tuesdays. Frightening Hours will be from 3:30 to 9 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

Feldman is a co-chair with Mary Beth Reffett. Co-chairs serve a one-year term.

“All the money from the haunted house goes directly back to the children’s museum for free nights and programs for the local neighborhood and exhibits in the museum,” Feldman said.

All entries must be winter-themed on original artwork on an 8 ½ x 11 paper and submitted to SoHo (620 S. Range Line Rd.) by Nov. 20, by 3 p.m. Judging will be completed by Nov. 21. An artist reception will be hosted at the Carmel Arts Council Children’s Art Gallery (40 West Main St.) from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. Dec. 2.

Looking to grow its audience, 101-year-old Booth Tarkington Theatre takes a bold and bawdy step into the land of adult language and sexual innuendo theater when it presents Mel Brooks’ horror film parody, “Young Frankenstein.” Running Oct. 21 through Nov. 5, the over-the-top musical is best suited for teens and adults.

“Civic Theatre is known, certainly for the last 50 years of existence, as being primarLasley ily family-driven with big Broadway shows, classic plays, and things like that, and we certainly want to maintain that reputation,” said Michael Lasley, executive artistic director who has been with Civic since 1990. “At the same time we are looking for opportunities to expand our audience to something a little more adult without getting too far outside the family realm.”

Civic tested the waters two years ago with a production of Monty Python’s “Spamalot,” similar to “Young Frankenstein” in its adult language and situations, and the play was well-received.

“This (‘Young Frankenstein’) seemed like a natural progression,” said Lasley, noting that the season still includes family gems such as “Beauty & the Beast,” “The Music Man” and “The Complete Works of Shakespeare (Abridged).” “You don’t want to turn your back on your bread-and-butter audience, but we’d like to attract more from the 21-to-40-year-old crowd.”

In “Young Frankenstein,” Frederick Frankenstein (Steve Kruze), the grandson of the infamous Victor Frankenstein, inherits his family’s estate in Transylvania. With the help of a hunchbacked sidekick, Igor (Damon Clevenger) and a sexy lab assistant, Inga Frederick (Devan Mathias of Fishers), Frederick finds himself in the mad scientist shoes of his ancestors and brings to life a monster (B.J. Bovin of Carmel) rivaling his grandfather’s creation. The monster escapes, triggering all kinds of hilarious situations.

The musical is based on Brooks’ 1974 comedy film starring the late Gene Wilder. Lasley traveled to New York to see a video production at the New York Public Library of the Broadway musical, partly to check out Robin Wagner’s original set design.

Civic is renting a scaled-back version of the national tour’s set and costumes.

“A lot of times you are getting original drawings, the prop list, and things like this, but sometimes it’s really hard to figure out how it all fits together and works,” he said. “By watching the video I was able to see the broad strokes of the set, which will make it a lot easier to understand what I must deal with when it rolls off the truck. We won’t get the set until Oct. 12, and we open the show nine days later.”

Seasons’ change Commentary by Joe Drozda and Bob Bley

WILLKOMMEN, BIENVENUE, WELCOME… In Here, Life is Beautiful.

NOVEMBER 4 - 20, 2016 SEASON SPONSOR

Book by Joe Masteroff • Based on the play by John Van Druten and Stories by Christopher Isherwood Music by John Kander• Lyrics by Fred Ebb • Broadway production directed by Harold Prince Produced for the Broadway Stage by Harold Prince

“O hushed October morning mild, Thy leaves have ripened to the fall; Tomorrow’s wind, if it be wild, Should waste them all.”

This is Robert Frost’s opening of a poem about the peace and pleasure of October.

He writes about how we are beguiled. Defined, this can mean “to cause time to pass pleasantly.”

And for anyone traveling to a football game there is no secret that the season has changed. The lush wet summer green leaves have turned brown. The harvesting machines bring in corn and beans and farmers are cutting hay. The mornings and evenings are cool while the days are mild and warm. The trees are beautiful, making the drive to the game more enjoyable. Some families are even stopping at roadside stands to buy apples, cider and pumpkins on their way home from the game. There is a smell of burning leaves in the air.

If we give an exam to tailgaters about why they love the fall, they will check the box for “all of the above.”

Keeping with the season, here is a great seasonal recipe to give you pleasure.

Apple crisp Ingredients: 8 to 10 apples, 2 cups flour, 1 cup white sugar, 1 1/4 cups rolled oats, 1 1/4 cups brown sugar, 3 teaspoons cinnamon, 1 1/4 cups butter Preparation: In a large bowl mix together the flour, sugar, butter, oatmeal, 1 cup of brown sugar and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon.

Mix everything together using your hands until it’s turned into small pebble-sized clumps of dough. Peel and core the apples, slicing them

into thin strips. Once you have enough to fill a 9 x 13 glass pan to just under the rim, mix the apples with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and the remaining 1/4 cup of brown sugar. After you’ve mixed the apples and brown sugar together, spread the flour mixture over the top, making sure to smooth it evenly across the entire pan. Bake in a 350 oven for 50 to 60 minutes or until the crisp mixture turns a nice golden brown and the apples have lost their crispness but still have some body. Refrigerate overnight. Then cut into manageable size pieces. Place these into a plastic sealable 9 x 13 container (the kind that can be burped).

This crisp is delicious on its own, served with whipped cream, or if you want to have some dry ice in your cooler, with ice cream.

Penne puttanesca Submitted recipe and photo courtesy of Donatello’s Italian Restaurant in Carmel This is a great option for vegetarians at Donatello’s Italian Restaurant. It does have anchovies but can be left out if you want.

There are various accounts of the origin, but the popular theory is that in the 1950s a chef was serving his customers and barely had any ingredients left in the pantry. He threw together what he had — some tomatoes, olives, and capers — and invented a pasta meant for a peasant, because it’s made with leftover ingredients. Hence, the colorful name.

Notes: I know some people don’t like anchovies but they should melt away and you won’t really know they’re there except they add a nice salty, seaside flavor to this dish.

We recommend pitted kalamata for this dish.

Serves: 1 to 2 people Ingredients: • 1 cup whole peeled tomatoes • 2 teaspoons of finely chopped garlic • 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil • Handful of pitted kalamata olives • 1 teaspoon of capers • 2 pieces of anchovy • 1 cup of cooked penne pasta Directions: Put on a medium pot of water to boil.

Drain the juice from the tomatoes and place them in a mixing bowl. Put on a latex glove and squeeze the whole peeled tomatoes until they are small bits but still somewhat chunky.

Grab a medium-sized skillet and heat it to medium heat. Pour olive oil in the pan and let it warm up without burning or bubbling up.

Add garlic (you can add more or less based on preference) but make sure it doesn’t brown or burn. Burned garlic will ruin the dish and you’ll need to start over. Use a low heat and be sure to stir the garlic so it doesn’t

stick. The finer you chop the garlic the more it’s likely to burn, but finely chopped garlic also helps spread the flavor throughout the dish, so just keep an eye on that.

You’ll also want to add some anchovy. This should melt into the olive oil instead of being one big piece. You can break it up and stir it with your cooking fork or chop it ahead of time. Some people like using anchovy paste but we think whole anchovies are better.

Make sure you don’t add too much olive oil. You’ll be able to tell when you add your tomatoes.

Once the garlic is cooked but not brown, add the tomatoes. You’ll hear them sizzle so make sure the heat isn’t too high.

Your goal is to have the olive oil and tomatoes to mix together seamlessly. Heat and stirring should accomplish that.

Once the sauce is almost done — you can tell the tomatoes are warm and soft without being mushy — you can add your capers, oregano and olives. You want the olives slightly cooked so they are warm and soft, but they don’t take as long as the rest so you add them at the end.

Add the fresh cooked pasta to the sauce while it’s still hot and it will absorb some of the sauce before you scoop it into a bowl.

Blueprint for Improvement: Transitional family room Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions:

After

The goal was to create a focal point in their living room that results in a great first impression for their home.

1. The existing cabinets were modified to house all of their existing AV equipment. The original cabinets were painted a rich gray color and the bottom cabinets now have a copper-colored laser-cut door insert.

2. The original mantel was replaced with two handcrafted rustic Colorado lodgepole pine mantels that help draw the eye upward and add an elegant touch of nature.

3. The design above the mantel mimics the design in the copper door fronts. This piece creates a much more dramatic fireplace wall for the center of the home, and is more appropriately proportioned for the large wall.

4. Stacked stone was used to create the base of the fireplace and the hearth. This stone gave the homeowners a great color palate to draw from for the rest of their living room space.

5. New floors were installed throughout the living room and first floor. Wide plank, hand-scraped hardwood floors completed the wholistic aesthetics of the space.

Before Background Info: This 1990’s Carmel home in the Brookfield neighborhood was lacking some character. The homeowners were looking for help in reflecting their personal style within their home.

Before problems: The fireplace wall in this home was primarily a large expanse of drywall. The homeowners did not like that their fireplace was lost on a very large wall in their living room.

Saadian tombs in Morocco Commentary by Don Knebel The Saadian tombs in Marrakech, Morocco, reflect the architectural achievements of the Saadi dynasty. They also reflect travel an era of religious tolerance.

In 1554, the Saadi family became rulers of all of Morocco. In 1578, Moroccan forces defeated a crusade led by 24-year-old King Sebastian of Portugal. Using the wealth from the ransom of European prisoners, Ahmad al-Mansur, the sixth Saadi sultan, constructed El Badi (“the marvelous”) Palace in his capital of Marrakech, modeled on the Alhambra. When finished, the palace contained 360 rooms, a massive courtyard and a pool measuring 300 feet by 60 feet. Palace rooms were decorated with marble from Italy, gold from Sudan and jade from China. Al-Mansur and later sultans used the palace to host lavish receptions for European ambassadors, showcasing Moroccan power.

Before al-Mansur died from the plague in 1603, he constructed tombs in the grand style of El Badi Palace for the royal family, their servants and government officials. The

tombs included two mausoleums, one with 12 columns, which eventually sheltered a total of 66 graves, and a garden containing more than 100 graves. In 1672, Moulay Ismail ibn Sharif claimed the title of Sultan of Morocco and displaced the Saadi dynasty. Over a 10year period, he demolished El Badi Palace.

Apparently afraid to destroy the resting places of the dead, he sealed and hid the Saadian tombs. The French rediscovered the tombs in 1917, restored them to their original grandeur and opened them to the public.

A visit to the Saadian tombs, a major Marrakech attraction near the Kasbah Mosque, conveys the style and elegance of El Badi Palace. A few of the grave markers, both in one mausoleum and in the garden, are oriented in an east-west direction, perpendicular to the remainder. They mark the graves of Jewish members of the royal staff.

Choosing a pumpkin – It’s time to visit the pumpkin patch and select the best pumpkin for carving. Look for pumpkins that are fully ripe with a hardened skin. It should be hard enough that poking it with your fingernail won’t crack the surface. Check for any blemishes, soft spots or nicks. Even a small spot can cause the pumpkin to rot more quickly. Finally, don’t carry it by the stem. If the stem breaks off, the pumpkin can rot more easily.
