Construction begins on new BACA building

By Derek Fisher derek@youarecurrent.com The Behavior Analysis Center for Autism began construction on a new building near Zionsville April 23. The groundbreaking ceremony for “BACA-Z” took place at Anson Business Park, 6704 Central Blvd., in Whitestown.

BACA-Z will serve up to 60 children and employ approximately 70 staff. Features of the new building include two separate wings and play areas to serve both young and older children. BACA-Z is currently serving children and families in a temporary location at Eagle Church in Whitestown.

“The new location is more convenient for our clients on the northwest side of Indianapolis, Zionsville, Sheridan, Lebanon and Lafayette,” said Devon Sundberg, BACA administrative director.

The BACA provides a continuum of applied behavior analysis services to children and young adults with autism in three other locations. Two of the other sites are in Fishers and the third center is in Elkhart.

Treatment is based on current research findings from the most experienced schol-

ZIONSVILLE SchOOLS REfERENdum

DON’T BE FOOLED The NO Again Crowd Is Misleading Voters About Zionsville Schools

NO Again says Zionsville wasted money on new facilities.

NO Again says Zionsville teachers are overpaid.

FACT: Zionsville has not added a penny of facilities debt in seven years – and buildings and other facilities have nothing to do with the crushing deficit in student learning.

False!

FA C T : According to the State Department of Education, our average teacher pay ranks 49th in the state. Blaming teachers is not a solution.

NO Again says Zionsville schools haven’t cut the fat.

False!

NO Again says Zionsville should follow a State Checklist, including consolidating our schools with others.

FACT: More state government control is wrong. We need more local control by investing directly in our own students’ learning.

And we should reject calls for consolidating with Lebanon, Western Boone or others.

False!

FA C T : ZCS is the leanest school system in Indiana, cutting central administration nearly 50% since 2006.

Fals

NO Again says Zionsville Schools are sitting on a pile of cash.

FA C T : Zionsville schools have a $3.1 million deficit in the student learning fund. The NO Again crowd is demanding reckless actions in response, including exhausting our already shrinking emergency funds and unlawful use of textbook, cafeteria and transportation funds. Illegal actions are not solutions.

False!

e!

NO Again says voting NO does no harm.

False!

FACT: That’s what they promised last time. What happened?

250+ crowded classes, 55 teacher cuts, science and reading slashed. NO Again will make matters worse: more crowded classes, more teacher cuts, severe cuts in foreign language and music. They misled before, why should we trust them this time?

YES! is Best!

Only a YES! vote will restore great schools that ensure strong home values by giving us:  The smaller classes our students need to be successful  Reading and foreign language programs that prepare Zionsville graduates to compete in the global economy  Strong home values resulting from an excellent school system  Keeping more education funding in Zionsville, instead of state  Science labs where students can safely government siphoning much of our money to big city schools conduct hands-on experiments

End Crowded Classes. Protect Home Values.

Plain talk

In and out with my dog, Brutie Commentary by Ward Degler

When it’s warm, I sit on the deck by the pond to eat lunch. My dog, Brutie, knows this and can’t wait to slip the surly bonds of confinement to join me. Then he nose-checks every square inch of the yard at super sonic speed.

If I take a break from my peanut butter toast to amble over to the garden to check for emerging peas or green beans, he will kick it into high gear and circle the entire back yard no fewer than five times. Between revolutions, he trots up to me for praise and honors.

After I return to the deck and my lunch, Brutie decides he needs a little nourishment of his own and begs to go in. Dutifully, I put down my banana and let him in.

Just as I pick up where I left off, Brutie announces that he has finished eating and is ready to return to the magnificent arena of outdoors.

From the doorway he launches into full bullet mode again and investigates every tree for errant

squirrels and every nook and cranny for savage chipmunks.

Convinced that all wildlife is behaving, he returns to the deck for further orders. I scratch him behind the ears, which for some reason reminds him he needs to go into the house again.

Five minutes later, he wants back out. And when I go in a minute later to refill my coffee, he assures me that is just what he has been waiting for. Inside, he follows me to the kitchen and then disappears into the dining room. Fine, I return to the deck. Thirty seconds later, he wants back out.

Why on earth does he do that? I’ve got some ideas, of course, which I’ll share with you just as soon as I let the dog out.

Local farm added to ‘Historic Places’ list

By Derek Fisher • derek@youarecurrent.com The public is invited to attend the unveiling of a historic marker that will recognize Maplelawn Farmstead’s inclusion as a historic site on the National Register of Historic Places.

The unveiling is at 1 p.m. tomorrow at the Maplelawn Farmstead, 9575 Whitestown Rd. The farmhouse and outbuildings will be open for tours, and light refreshments will be served.

Selected for inclusion on the National Register for its role as a prosperous farm from 1852 to

1924, Maplelawn Farmstead illustrates the progression of agricultural development and land use in central Indiana during the last half of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century.

The farm, which is now comprised of 3.9 acres, was originally established in 1835 on an 80-acre tract. With its complement of intact buildings and rich history, the Maplelawn Farmstead is being preserved, restored and developed as a unique park and educational center. Future plans include educational programs, historic demonstrations, barn dances and walking tours.

Cover story

Bartender Karen Irwin serves drinks with a side of singing

By Donna Monday • editorial@youarecurrent.com The lady who pours drinks in the afternoon pours out her heart on Tuesday evenings. And people drink it in.

“She sings like an angel and rocks like Janis (Joplin),” says her boss, Patrick Mullen, owner of Patrick’s Restaurant on Main Street in Zionsville, where Karen Irwin tends bar.

On Tuesday evenings around 6, Irwin leaves the bar to grab a microphone and sing for Patrick’s patrons. Anyone walking the brick street at that time can hear her two blocks away from the Patrick’s terrace.

It’s not just her voice that’s big. Irwin is three-fourths of an inch shy of six feet tall and wears size 11 men’s shoes.

Still, she finds girly sandals that fit. She knows the lyrics to hundreds of songs and, with Scott Ballantine on guitar, she belts them out one after another. She can rock, swoon, swing and croon.

She does Janis Joplin proud and ends many a performance with Joplin’s “Mercedes Benz.”

Asked about her attraction to the late, great rocker, Irwin says that the best singing comes when a vocalist is “invested in the moment.”

“If they are singing about joy or suffering, you hear it,” she says.

As to her own joy and suffering, a man named Sam was the cause of both. From the moment they met, she loved him and he loved her. They lived together for three years and were engaged to be married.

Then Sam committed the ultimate betrayal. He “dropped dead of a heart attack at 49 at the corner of 60th Street and Kingsley,” she reports matter-of-factly.

Not that there was anything matterof-fact about her grief. She disposed of some of his ashes, but says she had “a big bag left over. I called it my bag of boyfriend, and I slept with it. Finally, my girlfriends said I was being too weird. So I thought it over and went to Build-a-Bear.”

One can guess the outcome of that venture.

Today, an old-fashionedlooking Teddy named Sam sits in an old-fashioned-looking chair in Irwin’s apartment over the antique store on Main Street.

Current in Zionsville

Sam, the bear Inside Sam the teddy, near his heart, is a little plastic bag of the original Sam’s ashes.

It’s apparent that Irwin comes from creative stock. She is the poster child for successful IPS schooling, having timed it just right when money went into the arts. She was one of six freshmen accepted into Broad Ripple’s theater program when it was a magnet school for the performing arts and the humanities. She later studied theater at the University of Evansville.

“I think I’m a better actor than singer,” she says. “I became a singer because I wasn’t getting enough work as an actor.” She’s scored an acting gig this summer from mid-July to mid-August at the Phoenix Theatre in “With a Whimper.”

Meanwhile, she loves living and working on Zionsville’s brick street. She signed on with Mullen because she believes in what he and his wife, Beth, are trying to do. “He’s not in the business just to make money but to contribute to being a part of the community,” she says. “I’ve run into it a lot on this street – people who seem to have a lot more integrity, community and compassion. I don’t know if it is philosophical or spiritual. It isn’t just about how much money you can make and who you can get it from.”

Her contribution? Well, she must be doing something right, according to Patrick’s patrons. Jill and Tim O’Connor, from Carmel, dance to the music. “We only come here because of her,” says Jill.

And Joe McCann, who came to hear his guitar teacher, Ballantine, had never heard Irwin sing. Asked what he thought of Irwin’s performance, McCann replied, “How about holy crap! She’s good. That was fun!”

Which is what Mullen wants to hear. “A restaurant is an entertainment business,” he says, “and (Karen) gets that.” www.currentzionsville.com

Editorial Our Currentoonist?

Yep, No. 1 in state

Political Noise Pollution It is our position that negative political campaign advertising is a counterproductive use of time, money and the attention of the voting public. As Election Day nears, the airwaves are filled with a cacophony of harsh-voiced accusations. Television images project defaced candidate caricatures as a flood of postcards fill mailboxes with negative messages. All this finger pointing just seems to be creating a big obnoxious cloud of political noise pollution. Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions churning the negative campaign machines that are producing all the smoke and mirrors. Are registered voters expected to go to the polls with the mindset of, “Who are we voting against today?” Just as we have a right to vote in this country, we also have a right to clear and concise positive messages from those seeking political office. Voters want and deserve to know what these candidates “can” and “will” do for their constituents, as opposed to casting a vote because another candidate “didn’t” and “won’t.” Give voters credit.

Give voters good information. Give voters' eyes and ears a break. Get rid of the political noise pollution and let voters breathe easily during election season.

Beating a point

Commentary by Terry Anker

Recently I found myself at the table when a particularly vociferous disagreement erupted between two thinking and engaged folks, each with their own particularly impassioned views on life and the body politic. As personal insults were exchanged, it reminded me of the only physical beating ever to take place on the floor of the U.S. Senate. In May of 1856, a member of that august body, Charles Sumner, had laid out a blistering attack on supporters of the U.S. system of chattel slavery including remarks directed in personal offense at Senator Andrew Butler. Some supported Sumner’s then-considered uninformed and radical point of view, while others did not. Regardless of the value of the discourse, Butler’s nephew, a member of the House of Representatives, believed that a line had been crossed and took it upon himself to enter the Senate chamber and promptly beat Sumner.

Opinion about Butler’s escalation of the matter was varied. As one might imagine, supporters of Sumner’s standpoint were outraged,

while those looking at it from Butler’s position found his move not only justified, but also minor in comparison to the transgression attributed to Sumner. Regardless, the attack had a chilling effect on discourse in the Senate. Sumner’s desk sat empty for three years as a reminder of the dangers of taking an unpopular stand – or in contrast, as an example of the importance of martyrdom.

The use of harsh and intimidating language is today, and perhaps has always been, a part of the American discourse. But, is it ever the most effective tool for advancing a reasoned opinion?

Our own frustration with our inability to reach consensus with our peers can be expressed in a number of ways. But are angry, dismissive, profane or other postures productive? Should they be a part of our regular discourse?

Tim Campbell is No. 1. It’s neat to be able to talk about our Currentoonist in a sentence like that. A bit of explanation is in order. Tim entered the Indiana Society of Professional Journalists’ contest for excellence in the industry. He submitted a sampling of his Current works, and, lo and behold (although not surprising to us), he won first place, kicking tail against some stellar competition. He picked up his hardware at the annual banquet last weekend and is a happy man these days. Actually, Tim generally is a happy man. He’s also a genius as an illustrator and a sometimes-polarizing cartoonist, and we’re lucky to have him on the team. He thanked us for taking a chance by launching Current and giving him an outlet. The truth is, he took a chance on us. Well done, Mr. Campbell. (You may view his winning entry at www.youarecurrent.com.)

Referendum decision is difficult Editor, I have been trying to decide how to vote on the referendum issue.

I’ve gone to the meetings and heard the proreferendum people pitch their story. However, none of the meetings have addressed the most critical question: When will it end?

That is the same question Town Councilwoman Suzanna Suarez asked the school board – they said they could refinance the bonds in 2015. The numbers don’t lie – you would need to erase almost 50 percent of the debt service expense to balance the budget without another referendum, so refinancing the bonds certainly is not a viable option.

What’s the bottom line? ZCS and the community are up against the wall, and it doesn’t look like there is any way out. When I think

about voting yes, I picture myself as a helpless person feeding big chunks of flesh to a hungry dragon. I worry about when I will run out of flesh. The facts do not lie – the $4.7-million referendum this year will become a request for $9 million in 2015. If we vote no, class sizes will be smaller than what we want them to be. Will it impact the overall quality of education? No one can say for sure.

Everyone must think about the long term, beyond the next three years. As the expense grows to maintain the “optimal class size” in ZCS, how much flesh does the average resident of this community have to continue to feed this dragon?

I’m still undecided on how to vote.

Supt. Robinson spends excessively Editor, I am writing in response to the April 17 “From the Backshop.” The publisher wrote “…

We also know (Zionsville Community Schools Supt. Scott) Robison hasn’t added 1 cent of debt.” That is incorrect. Supt. Robison spent millions to renovate a multidisciplinary room

that is underutilized, renovate the Employee Health Clinic at Pleasant View Elementary while there are many clinics and hospitals close by and install a new irrigation system and stadium lights. Such excessive spending is not necessary to educate our children!

Mother’s Day list

Commentary by Danielle Wilson Alright mommies, our day approach-eth! And because I’ve finally wised up to the fact that my family, though attractive and talented, are not mind readers, I’ve again prepared a “to-to” list to help them orchestrate the perfect Mother’s Day. No more disappointment when they forget it’s my day, no more bad-mouthing my husband because he didn’t clean the dishes and no more wondering why I had children in the first place when they fight and whine on this most precious of Sundays. I’m taking control!

1. Deliver breakfast in bed. The menu should include a tall latte from Starbucks, a sausage biscuit from McDonald’s, a small side of fresh pineapple and perhaps a Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pie. I would like to be served at approximately 9 a.m., depending on whether or not I am awake at that hour. The flush of the toilet shall be your cue.

2. Assume the role of domestic servants. I expect to come down and enjoy, throughout the day, a clean kitchen, a picked-up family room and fresh-smelling lavatories. I don’t want to see soccer cleats or Barbie’s posse on the stairs, nor do I want to receive any requests for laundry, meal prep or homework assistance. Uniforms are optional.

3. Be nice to each other. Nothing ruins a peaceful mood more quickly than a smack down among siblings. Take your fights outside (unless I am outside, in which case you should go to a

neighbor’s before resuming your rumble). Pretend that you love each other.

4. Compliment me. Gorgeous is not too strong a word.

5. Take me out for a simple dinner and don’t throw a tizzy if they’ve eighty-sixed the chicken fingers. This isn’t about you! And please select a restaurant with a liquor license.

Sure, detailing beforehand how you will spend each hour on Mother’s Day isn’t the most “romantic” way for life to go down, but let’s face it, this is a heck of a lot safer for everyone. I know my expectations will be met, and they know they won’t be in hot water come Monday. Planning the day yourself also takes the guesswork and pressure off your husband. Men just don’t get it, and now they won’t have to.

So think about what would make you happiest, and go for it. If you want a bouquet of lilies, ask for them. If you prefer to spend the entire afternoon without kids, organize a sitter. And if you want to wallow in butter-smothered popcorn gazing at dreamy Zac Efron, then Fandango some tickets today. Make Mother’s Day about you for once by doing what you do best­– controlling everything and everyone around you! Peace out.

Underwear musings Laugh by Mike Redmond

“Semper ubi sub ubi,” read the message scrawled in the back of my Latin book, a greeting from a bored sophomore long ago. “Always wear underwear.”

Sound advice, if not sound Latin, and I have always taken it to heart. With very few exceptions (and none of your business what they are), I semper ubi my sub ubi.

In fact, I purchased some new sub ubi just the other day and found the experience so interesting that I wanted to tell you about it.

This was an online purchase. I do that a lot.

Now, I don’t buy everything online, but I figure underwear is one of those things you don’t really have to visually inspect before you hand over your dough.

So I went online and found some that looked like they’d do the job. Then the Underwear Company came back at me with an offer: Would I like to enroll in their Underwear Replacement Program and have new shorts shipped to me at regular intervals?

Wow. Book of the Month Club, yes. But Underpants of the Month Club?

It just doesn’t work for me. For one thing, the interval they suggested – every three months – is too frequent. Underwear doesn’t qualify as old until it starts to develop failures in fabric integwww.currentzionsville.com

rity, also known as holes, or the elastic fails. Boy, I really hate that second one. There’s nothing weirder than having your outside pants stay up while your inside ones are falling down.

But just because underwear is old doesn’t mean it’s no longer useful. You wouldn’t want to put it on for date night, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get some wear out of it.

The important thing, of course, is that it’s clean. Mom said always to wear clean underwear in case you had to go to the emergency room.

She said nothing about vintage.

Furthermore, I only have so much money set aside for new unmentionables, and I think I’d like to handle the scheduling, if that’s OK with the Underpants People.

I see what they’re getting at. They want us to semper ubi sub ubi, which is fine, and they want us always to have a clean pair, which would make Mom happy, but they want to sell me stuff when I don’t want to buy it.

There’s a Latin response for that, also learned from the back of my textbook: Nullus via, Josephus. No way, Jose.

Benefits of annual ‘well-woman’ exams Commentary by Linda Witham It’s become increasingly common for women to put their own health care needs aside while caring for children, working or engaging in other activities. At every age, women should schedule an annual “well-woman” exam that includes preventive health care and guidance on diet, exercise, safety and contraception (for premenopausal women).

Regarding prevention, women often have questions or concerns about breast health, specifically screening mammograms, and pap smears. The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends annual mammograms beginning at age 40, along with clinical breast exams. ACOG also recommends breast self-awareness – looking for lumps, swelling, change in size or shape, dimpling, discharge, rash or pain. This also may include monthly breast self-exams. Women should report any changes to their health care provider.

Breast cancer, which claims nearly 40,000 lives annually, is the leading cause of cancer-related death in women. That’s why it’s important to talk to your doctor about your personal risk (based largely on family history) to see if you should consider enhanced screening, such as an MRI or gene testing.

Each year, there are more than 12,000 new

cases of invasive cervical cancer, and more than 4,000 women die from this disease. Many women are surprised to learn half of diagnosed cervical cancers are late-stage, correlating with lack of screening, particularly in older women.

Historically, it was recommended women have annual pap smears to screen for cervical cancer; however, ACOG changed its recommendation to every two years beginning at age 21 and every three years starting at age 30. Your doctor will likely recommend more frequent testing if you have certain high-risk conditions, such as human papilloma virus infection or a history of abnormal test results. Persistent HPV infection is the condition that causes cervical cancer. Pap smears can include HPV testing; ask your doctor for more details.

For today’s busy women, there are never enough hours in the day. Remember to take some time out to get a “well-woman” exam. It’s one of the best ways to maintain and improve your health for years to come.

Wellness Pregnancy is OK after tummy tuck HEALTH

Commentary by Dr. Barry Eppley

Q: I am 21 years old and have lost 65 pounds during the past two years, which has left me with a lot of excess skin and an overhanging abdominal apron. I have been researching tummy tuck surgery to remove it. My main concern is, if I get pregnant in the future, will the tummy tuck scar interfere with my belly stretching during pregnancy?

A: There is no problem with becoming pregnant and having children after a tummy tuck.

This is not a rare occurrence at all. The slow stretch of tissues during pregnancy easily ex-

pands the abdominal skin. Since you are young and have never had children (and likely will), the muscle should not be tightened during your tummy tuck – only the overhanging skin and fat should be removed. This will make a dramatic change in your waistline and provide years of feeling better about your body.

Dr. Eppley is an Indianapolis board-certified plastic surgeon.

Overcoming the fear of flying

unleash your

Business by David Cain I hate to fly. Strong words, I know, but being in the air scares me more than just a little.

I always get to meet people when I fly. They aren’t really looking to meet me, but my clutching of the armrests on takeoffs, landings and any rough in-betweens always attracts their interest. The interest isn’t one of wanting to get acquainted, but instead, they glare like I’m a crying 6-month-old ruining their flight.

I have to talk to get my mind off the flying.

When you think about rational things, your emotions tend to loosen their grip. I know when I feel my emotions, in the air or at home, they start to take over. When I force myself to think, I become rational, even if it is just working a math problem or talking about where you’re from. Thinking makes us more rational and makes us all different than other animals.

When the plane touched ground, the tension drained and exhaustion became my norm. I sat down in Chicago to wait for my next flight. It was a rainy day. As I sat watching people come and go, there were a lot of people running.

There was also a big line at the gate ticket counter. Two women in separate lines were crying.

Delays. The first woman walked away sobbing.

I started thinking about the demeanor of an airport as storms move across the nation. Planes are late and flights are missed; people’s lives are

disrupted. Pilots, passengers, gate attendants alike. Disruption. But for these women, I couldn’t help thinking things are never as big a deal later as they seemed at the time. This day would be a blip on their radar. It would quickly and neatly be archived as soon as it ended.

I returned home on time with two things to consider improving. The first, always remember rational thinking can trump emotions. It’s the surest way to diffuse emotionally charged situations. The second, things are never as big of a deal later as they seem when you are dealing with them. I think I’m not only ready to fly again, but I’m also ready to tackle daily problems.

Outdoors Raised-bed gardening for beginners INSIDE & OUT

Commentary by Chris Arney

There are many advantages of raised-bed gardening, including less weeding, earlier planting and higher yields. The philosophy behind this type of gardening is that it maximizes the use of valuable bed space, minimizes the amount of ongoing labor and allows for the use of highquality soil. Raised beds also dry more quickly, tend to have warmer soil and provide a haven for beneficial insects and worms. With all the benefits of a raised-bed garden, it just might be the right choice for you. Here are some tips to start your own raised-bed garden: 1. Start by building a frame to contain the bed. While stones, bricks and blocks will work well, I prefer to use 6-by-6 landscape timbers. Limit the width of the bed to 4 to 5 feet so that you can easily reach into the middle of the bed, and be sure to space the beds far enough apart so that you can easily mow the grass between them. After constructing, backfill the bed with topsoil, compost, peat moss and other organic matter. Raising the soil level 6 to 8 inches

will do wonders for your back!

2. Plant the plants close together so there will be no space for weeds to grow when the garden matures, which will nearly eliminate your maintenance weeding.

3. Install a trellis in the bed to let climbing plants (pole beans, tomatoes and cucumbers) grow above low-level crops like lettuce, squash, zucchini and eggplant. When crops are spent, replant in their stead – there are a few quick-growing crops that can be planted late into the season (radish, lettuce and even beans).

4. Mulch the plants to help keep the soil moist. Add some annual flowers for seasonal color.

Raised garden beds can be a great addition to your landscape, providing structure while putting food on the table.

Remodeling by David Decker No matter what you call it – sustainable, eco-friendly or just plain green – a modern bathroom improvement project is about much more than being friendly to Mother Nature’s environment.

It’s about being friendly to our family’s health as well.

An older bathroom is generally the smallest, dampest, most energy-intensive, water-hogging, chemical-laden, smell-trapping, light-starved, material-sensitive, under-ventilated, traffic-jammedup, malfunction-prone room in any home.

And while we all are well aware of the virtues of modern low-flow water fixtures, low-energy light bulbs and recyclable building materials, the basic challenges a bathroom presents to human physical and mental health reach far beyond the scope and effectiveness of surface disinfectants, scrub brushes and toilet bowl cleaners.

Granted, the more bathrooms there are in a home, the more convenient it is for the home’s inhabitants. That’s a functional as well as a “mental health” bonus. But bonuses are also numerous in the sanctuary and spa characteristics – increased size, natural lighting, steam showers, heated floors, walled-off toilets, serene motifs and beautiful decorating – designed into today’s custom master bathroom improvements.

Home improvement professionals are experienced in explaining sustainability options as comfort and health considerations abound. Ventilation alleviates humidity and excess heat, thus preventing mildew and mold, while controlling

various fumes and smells making for a kinder, gentler, less allergic bathroom environment.

And a quiet, efficient modern vent fan on a timer minimizes energy use.

Construction materials are critical health factors. For example, fiberboards used in some cabinets emit residual formaldehyde vapors from manufacturing processes. It’s better to go with solid wood or wheatboard cabinetry, or in any case consider how potential allergens could affect your family.

Tile floors with recycled content and small grout lines are easy to clean and are resistant to mold, mildew and stains. Many caulks, adhesives, sealants and grouts contain inhibiting compounds that prevent mold and mildew, lessening usage of irritating cleaning agents. That prevents pollution and promotes human health.

Be kind to the environment, but don’t forget: we’re part of Mother Nature, too.

INSIDE & OUT

Outdoors

Retrofit makes outdoor spaces more inviting Remodeling by Randy Sorrell Often, tasteful retrofits are designed to expand an existing sterile, underused outdoor living space into a fun magnet. Most of us have some sort of existing patio or deck, but it might simply lack the personality that prompts it to be inviting. Consequently, the sofa sees more action than the patio furniture.

As with many exposed aggregate and concrete patios, this one had settled several inches over the years and was too abbreviated for comfort. Dave with AAA Mudjackers (574-1990) was able to successfully level the patio, saving the homeowners several thousand dollars in removal and replacement. Dave has managed several “saves” throughout the years and is nice folk to work with for leveling sidewalks, patios and garage floors.

Fun magnet Now the fun begins. The existing patio was nearly doubled in size with a smart design allowing for true red clay pavers to act as the body with a striking blue slate uniform edge. The same red paver was repeated along the sidewalk edge for walkability and drama. The materials married well with the neighborhood, style of home and with the exposed aggregate patio.

A natural boulder fire feature and formalized seating wall helps finish the project and confidently delivers an excuse to spend more time outside. Although the seat wall stone is somewhat common, the red clay paver ribbon

and cut limestone cap on the column screams custom and is a friendly cost strategy. Funny thing about fire features and seat walls … they just seem to attract people, particularly when hugged by tasteful landscaping that hints of privacy and elegance.

Stately pachysandra groundcover and an authentic sweet bay magnolia are very appropriate here. This quasi-evergreen magnolia produces sporadic vanilla fragrant flowers from late spring through the fall and is one of my favorites. The woods edge was reinforced with a few native shrubs and trees to enhance the effect.

From sterile to fun – a classic retrofit!
