New manager at Zion Nature Center

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com

For Mindy Murdock, 35, science is life.

Combining her love for animals and nature, Murdock just landed her dream job as the new manager of Zion Nature Center. parks “I have always loved animals and I’ve always loved education,” Murdock said, which is why she initially studied zoology at Kent State University in her home state of Ohio.

But after an internship at a zoo, Murdock knew she didn’t want to work exlusively with animals.

While earning her Masters in Science from the University of Akron, Murdock studied under Stan Stein, a nationally recognized interpretive naturalist.

“He put me in the world of parks and outdoor education,” Murdock said.

She finished her thesis project on fenced lizards, studying the creatures from the southern states all the way to Nebraska.

Now, as a certified interpretive naturalist herself, Murdock is ready to educate the Zionsville community.

“A naturalist is somewhere between a teacher and a scientist,” she said. “And when we say interpretive naturalist it just means we bring in tangible things that people can relate to and teach science. We make hard science something that everyone can understand.”

Without the burdens of being a traditional educator, Murdock brings creativity into the programs she is establishing at the nature center.

“I want to make a big push in the fall to get programming going,” she said. “Everyone always says that [the nature center] is this little gem and a hidden secret. But for it to stay viable I don’t want to keep it a secret. I want to do programs with the schools, the retirement communities, and even form partnerships with places like the library.”

To watch a video tour of the nature center, and hear a short interview with Murdock, visit www.currentzionsville. com.

Council talks street closures

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com

At the recent Zionsville Town Council meeting, councilman Steve Mundy briefly introduced a document to the council government that was drafted by the Zionsville Chamber of Commerce in regards to downtown street closures.

This document states: “After a review of the special events policy, [the chamber thinks] limitation is the best route to take,” thus potentially limiting the number of street events in Zionsville.

The chamber is recommending that an addendum be made to the special events policy. This addendum would only address Saturday street closures, only full-day closures that prohibit parking, and “not rolling closures for walks, runs, and things like March-a-Thon.”

There are only two Zionsville events every year that would be considered full-day closures.

Those are Brick Street Market, which is every May, and the CruZionsville Porsche show, which is every June. The four partial-day closure events every year are the Street Dance, Fall Festival, Miss Indiana and the Christmas in the Village parade.

The chamber proposes “limiting it to that number.”

According to councilwoman Candace Ulmer, the addendum has yet to be adopted and will first be reviewed by the Zionsville Merchants Association.

“[The merchants] are affected by what happens on Main Street,” Ulmer said.

The proposed addendum states that no new full-day or partial-day events on Main Street could be created without petition, because of the “special nature of Zionsville’s Downtown Business District.”

The Downtown Business District is defined as the area bordered by Elm Street to the east, Sycamore Street to the south, First Street to the west, and Poplar Street to the north.

Mundy said that the final rendition of the proposal will be available at the council’s July 7 meeting, noting that action is “not urgent at this point,” however, the council must approve the chamber’s proposal for this plan to be effective.

“After this is approved, if there is a request for another full day street closure with great merit, they will consider those as well,” Mundy said. “There may still be opportunities for other closures.”

Mundy, along with councilman Tim Haak, are schedule to meet with chairman of the downtown committee, Tom Casalini, this month to discuss the proposal.

Casalini could not be reached before the time of publication.

The next council meeting is 7 p.m., July 7 inside town hall, 1100 W. oak St.

Players run through a match during the 2013 season. Hickory Hall Polo Club is one of two polo clubs in the state. (Submitted photo)

New season starting for polo club

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com Indiana only has two official polo clubs, and one of them is in Boone County.

The Hickory Hall Polo Club, in Whitestown, is kicking off its 2014 polo seavolunteers son this week on June 20.

Fridays and Saturdays from June through September, Hickory Hall Polo Club members have matches at their Whitestown location at the Hickory Hall farm, in addition to travelling to nearby cities for matches.

Donna Freeze, whose fiancé is polo player Bill Thompson, is a polo enthusiast and said that polo is a rare sport in the Midwest—but not so far removed for everyone to enjoy.

“It’s a great event for all ages,” Freeze said. “[The matches] are so much fun.”

Freeze said that players range from age 22 to age 72, and is a club for both men and women players.

Every match played at Hickory Hall raised funds for a local charity such as Little Red Door, or Witham Health. 100 percent of all proceeds from the matches go towards charity.

For more on Hickory Hall Polo Club, visit www. indypolo.com.

Polo 101 A match consists of four to eight chukkas or chukkers (periods) that last seven minutes and 30 seconds each. A horn is blown at the end of seven minutes to signal to the players that 30 seconds remain in the chukker.

During the 30 seconds, play continues until a team scores or the ball hits the sideboards.

If neither occurs, at the end of 30 seconds the horn blows twice to signal the end of the chukker.

There are four minutes between each chukker and 10 minutes at halftime.

After each goal the teams change direction.

The team that scores the most goals wins.

School board, parents converse about ALEKS and more

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com At the June 9 meeting of the Zionsville Community School Corporation Board of Trustees, the board addressed several hot-topic issues such as random drug testing, and education the ALEKS math network.

Below are updates on some of the items discussed.

The next school board meeting is at 6 p.m., July 14, in the Educational Services Center, 900 Mulberry St. ALEKS math network The debate over ALEKS math continued, as disgruntled parents took to the microphone to address the board. This came after Supt. Dr. Scott Robison presented the Purdue University review of the computerized ALEKS math program. Zionsville parent Sarah Weidner helped lead the petition for the school’s evaluation of the program.

The review states the following cons or challenges in ALEKS: • Some students in middle school are not ready for self-guided computer learning • Very little higher-level mathematical thinking is built in to the ALEKS curriculum.

• Students and parents are provided with a limited amount of support within ALEKS. Many of the parental concerns presented are that ALEKS is an emotional and mental stressor for students, and encourages them to rush

through math problems without really learning how the correct answers can be achieved.

“Our focus is on student growth, and we want our students to do well,” Robison said, and noted that any recommendations from the Purdue review are his recommendations to the board.

One parent, David Brake, addressed the board with an emotional account of his family’s struggles with ALEKS. “I think that we need to know not only how

Stein

effective ALEKS is … but we need to know if it is doing harm to the mental health of our students,” Brake said.

Board member Bill Stanczykiewicz said that while there has been no decrease in test scores since the implementation of ALEKS, there has also been no increase. He said that he wishes the Purdue study included more parental input, and that if he knew what he knows now about ALEKS he might not have voted in favor of it

What happened: Neighbors in the Cobblestone Lakes subdivision rejoiced as Robison announced that the proposed maintenance facility on County Road 875 would not be built.

What it means: A large multi-room storage facility will not be constructed in the proposed residential area, but this means that ZCS will need to find storage elsewhere on existing campuses.

What’s next: The board approved the superintendent’s proposal to begin plans for a smaller, more concealed storage facility behind Pleasant View Elementary.

What happened: Parents and students of Zionsville Community High School spoke out against random drug testing.

What it means: The board will continue to discuss ZCHS Principal Tim East’s plan of random drug testing for all students who participate in sports, park their cars on school property, or are involved in extra curricular activities.

more than three years ago.

“I didn’t hear the parent voice and I was saddened by that,” Stanczykiewicz said.

Board member Joe Stein said he would like to see a little more work put into making sure ALEKS problems are resolved before the next school year begins.

“I as a father have sat at the table watching each of my kids cry as I am teaching them math,” he said. “It’s about teaching kids to think.

I think that’s one of the shortcomings of ALEKS. It’s too easy for these kids to just put answers in … just so they can complete a piece of the pie.”

The administration has agreed to continue the discussion of ALEKS and its effectiveness in the schools.

Current in Zionsville has gathered input from Zionsville parents as part of an online survey about ALEKS. To read the survey responses, visit www.currentzionsville.com.

Random drug testing FAQ

news@currentzionsville.com

Zionsville Community School Corp. provided Current in Zionsville with common questions and answers regarding random drug testing. For more on this, visit www.cureducation rentzionsville.com.

What is the research on the effectiveness of RDT programs in schools?

The research on the effectiveness of RDT programs is mixed. A recent study in the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs from Jan. 2014 found that RDT programs alone are a relatively ineffective drug-prevention policy and concluded that improved school climate has a greater impact on reducing substance abuse. Another study from the Institute of the Education Sciences in 2010 that followed up on RDT programs implemented with schools who had earned U.S. Department of Education, Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools grants found that, “Some 16 percent of students subject to drug testing reported using substances covered by their district’s testing in the past 30 days, compared with 22 percent of comparable students in schools without the program. Similar patterns were observed for other measures of student-reported substance use, but those differences were not statistically significant.”

Our recommendation is in line with both of these findings. We believe that an RDT program is just one component of a comprehensive plan to create a culture of healthy life choices. The research is clear that students covered under an RDT program report lower rates of use of the tested substances. Additionally, programs like our annual healthy life choices convocation and After Prom are focused on creating and supporting a climate where students can develop the relationships described in the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs study as effective in reduc-

ing substance use. A key to the success of the addition of an RDT program to our overall healthy life choices interventions is that the implementation must remain focused on communicating our expectations and goals with our students and applying consequences focused on encouraging the restoration of healthy life choices.

Will the cost of implementing the program redirect funds away from the classroom?

No. Our proposed RDT program will be funded completely from the proceeds from our vending machine and concessions revenues and no school district general fund dollars will be repurposed to implement this program. Anticipating a random draw of a number of participants that can be tested during one class period and conducting between three and seven unannounced tests per year at a current cost of $36/student, our annual maximum implementation cost will be between $5,000 and $6,500.

1. Under this policy, Zionsville Community School Corporation will pay for all initial random drug tests, all initial reasonable suspicion drug tests, and all initial “follow up” drug tests.

2. A request on appeal for another test of a “positive” urine specimen is the financial responsibility of the student or his/her parent/guardian.

3. Counseling and subsequent treatment by non-school agencies is the financial responsibility of the student or his/her parent/guardian.

4. A custodial parent/guardian request for voluntary inclusion in the RDT pool as a non-selected participant is the financial responsibility of the parent/guardian. Is an RDT program constitutional? Yes. Board of Education v. Earls (2002) is the United States Supreme Court case which upheld the constitutionality of mandatory drug testing by public schools of students.

“I wanted to find a project that would bnefit my church home,” said Ross Hill, who was just promoted to Eagle Scout. (Submitted photo)

Student soars to Eagle Scout rank

By Zach Manges • news@currentzionsville.com The Boy Scouts of America has added another Eagle Scout to its honored numbers with Zionsville resident Ross Hill, who was granted the rank on May 29, the same Achievement day as his 18th birthday.

Last month, Hill completed his Eagle Scout Service Project by restoring the utility trailer used by Zionsville United Methodist Church. Hill chose the project itself because of his lifelong appreciation for the church.

“I wanted to find a project that would benefit my church home and the congregation that I’ve been a part of my whole life,” Hill said. “When I saw the condition of the trailer, I thought I could restore it to make it more useful to the church.”

Although the restoration was a boon to the congregation, it had its benefits as well for Ross as an educational opportunity.

“I learned to measure twice and cut once,” Hill

said with a chuckle. “I learned that most projects require more work than you think there will be, and that you must expect changes to your original plan.”

The restoration of the trailer was not just a lesson in quality craftsmanship, but one of leadership, as Hill led a group of all ages to help him complete the project. Steps in the process such as sandblasting and powder coating required the skills of several experienced individuals who also aided in the effort.

Hill notes that a particular favorite part of the project for him was showing the completed result to the manager of Lowe’s, who offered advice on the construction. With the completion of the project and the earning of his Eagle Scout status as Hill’s final participation in Boy Scouts, of great significance to the entire journey has been the sense of accomplishment.

“It’s a relief and an achievement to finish the project,” Hill said. “I’ve learned a lot that I know I will find useful in adulthood.”

Nostalgia while mowing the lawn Commentary by Ward Degler I mowed the lawn with my walk-behind mower last week. I haven’t done that in years, and wouldn’t have now except Plain talk my big old honker of a riding mower burned out a bearing in the mower deck.

For two hours I trudged along cutting puny 18-inch swaths. The rider, on the other hand, whacks away 42 inches at a time, getting me to job-done status in about 45 minutes.

It was eerie. Walking while mowing is what I used to do as a kid to earn money. Every summer I snagged a few lawn customers and then spent part of each week mowing their lawns for $3 to $5 a pop.

The work was tedious, mindless and boring, and what was weird about the other day was I found myself thinking the same meandering thoughts I had while mowing as a kid.

While cutting Mrs. Baxter’s grass, I always thought about my bicycle. There was a new basket at Western Auto that I wanted to buy. I had

bought new handlebar grips a few days before and thought the new basket would give my aging bike a facelift.

I was also considering a new paint job. I always seemed to think about that when I was trimming around Mrs. Baxter’s rose trellis. She painted it a different color every spring.

At Mrs. Hanson’s yard I always thought about my next trip to the local swimming hole. Mrs. Hanson’s yard was mostly uphill and her mower was a reluctant beast. Halfway through I would be sweating like a racehorse and dying for a cool dip in the creek.

Nostalgia is great. But there was another thing I used to think about back then: how great it would be to own a riding mower and never have to walk behind one again.

According to the BAGI, a passive home uses 75 to 95 percent less energy than current new buildings that meet today’s U.S. energy efficiency codes, which means immediate savings starting with the first utility bill.

Zionsville resident and LEED-certification professional Tom Santelli said he hopes that more passive homes will come to Whitestown or Zionsville in the near future.

“That’s one of the things I would like to try and get motivated with through the Boone County Council,” said Santelli, who beat Gene Thompson for a seat on the Boone County Council in the May primary. “It’s disconcerting because there are not a lot of LEED standards being initiated in Boone County right now.”

The home that received the awards from BAGI is in Nashville, Ind., and was built without a traditional furnace or air conditioner, and is sealed air tight to control air movement by use of a state-of-the-art air exchanger which pumps

fresh clean air into the home.

“The house is one-of-a-kind,” said David Marquart, owner of Custom Woodcraft Builders.

Special design features created by The Beamery include: handcrafted timber wood frames with peg joinery (no nails or screws), a centrally located 28-foot poplar tree with a wrap around spiral staircase and maple stair treads leading up the third floor loft, screened in porch with wrap-around deck, walk-out basement, and cypress wood from the Tennessee River area.

“We just need to push more builders in this direction,” Santelli said. “I am happy to hear that The Beamery is helping an Indiana home like this.”

For maximum energy efficiency, the 4,500-square-foot home is wrapped in an envelope of foam made in Indiana, which is also under the basement floor. In addition, it features the following energy-efficient designs: R24 structurally insulated wall panels (also known as SIPs), LED lighting, triple pane windows, and energy-saving appliances.

The residential home faces south to get as much solar energy as possible through the long vertical windows, which allows the house to get more sun in the winter, and shade during the summer.

“The key to being energy-efficient is sealing the house, and then you can enjoy a constant year-round temperature indoors,” Marquart said.

“Our contractors sported T-shirts all winter long while working on the home.”

No cluttered closet stood a chance. Dusty attics, they were warned. Spring cleaning has come and gone, and for many households, Charity left a pile of unwanted clothing and household items in its wake.

A garage sale may seem like a good way to solve this problem, but still will likely result in a mix of items lingering. These items can be put to good use, however, and positively affect Boone Co. families’ lives with a little help from The Caring Center in Lebanon.

The Caring Center is a not-for-profit organization accepting all kinds of donations, giving “a chance for every family in Boone County to be self-sufficient.” The center is home to a food and clothing pantry as well as a furniture bank, the contents of all of which goes directly to needy families in Boone Co. Theresa Hanners, executive director of The Caring Center, said that the donations make a huge difference in the lives of the needy families.

“This year we served 81 families a week for food and about 20 families a week for clothing,” Hanners said. With such a large demand, the need for donations this summer is high.

“I know school just got out, but we are looking forward to getting the kids back in school, and we’re always looking for children’s clothing kindergarten to 12th grade,” Hanners said. Hanners also mentioned that The Caring Center is always accepting food items and appreciates donations to the food pantry, as well.

This summer, the remnants of spring cleaning and garage sales can have another life and go directly to helping a family in need. The Caring Center even offers furniture pickups on Wednesdays and Fridays, which can be scheduled in advance by phone. Donation drop-offs can be done anytime during operational hours at the Lebanon location, 1230 Ransdell Ct. right off of Ind. 32. The Caring Center hours as well as more information about family programs can be found at www.thecaringcenter.net. The Caring Center can also be contacted at 765-482-2020.

Indiana State Police has sent a reminder about the dangers of meth lab trash.

With favorable weather now in crime our midst, people are taking advantage by walking, jogging and bike riding on local roadways. The potential exists that some people may come across trash left behind by those who have manufactured methamphetamine (crystal meth). The Indiana State Police Meth Suppression Section wants to remind citizens that this trash may contain chemicals that are toxic, flammable, corrosive, and acidic. The combination of these chemicals could cause an explosion, fire or burns if they come into direct contact with the skin.

The Indiana State Police Meth Suppression Section, have identified some points for the public to keep in mind.

Meth cooks are using a variety of containers to manufacture their product. A popular con-

tainer is the one-and-a-half-gallon gas can. These cans appear to be new and have been found along the roadside by unknowing people who believe that they have found a new gas can and end up with a working meth lab.

Other Items to be aware of include battery casings, Ziploc style bags, empty blister packs, and containers (pop-bottles, jars, etc.) that contain a granular material. They may or may not have a tube extending out of the top depending on whether it is a hydrochloric gas generator (HCL) or a one-pot reaction. Both of these are extremely hazardous.

Be aware of any type of cylinder found in an odd place (middle of a field, ditch line, wooded area) that has a modified valve. These cylinders are used to store or transport anhydrous ammonia, which is an extremely dangerous gas when direct contact or inhalation has occurred.

Any questions or concerns about meth can be directed to the Meth Suppression Section at (877) 855-METH or online at www.meth.in.gov.

Local kids heading to Camp Riley

By Devynn Barnes • news@currentzionsville.com

Since 1955, Camp Riley has been putting smiles on the faces of children with physical disabilities, and giving them cahrity confidence as well. This summer, three Zionsville children will have the chance to travel to the camp in Martinsville, 20 miles south of Indianapolis for the summer adventures of a lifetime.

“She looks forward to Camp Riley more than Christmas,” Zionsville resident Heather Ztezl said about her daughter, Sarah. Sarah, who is 11 years old, will be attending Camp Riley for the fourth time this summer. “It helps her just with independence and being around other kids with disabilities. They work on a lot of goals throughout the week,” Ztezl said.

Camp Riley has five camp sessions throughout the months of June and July, each held at Bradford Woods, Indiana University’s outdoor recreation facility. The Camp started as a partnership between Riley Children’s Foundation and IU, and now serves nearly 250 children a year. Jason Mueller, the director of regional communications for Riley, talked about the positivity time at camp can bring to children’s lives.

“Camp Riley is available to all families and all

children regardless of family’s abilities to pay… it’s truly an incredible opportunity for children with physical disabilities,” Mueller said.

Thanks to Riley Children’s Foundation and donors, no child is ever turned away because of inability to pay for camp; the swimming, hiking, horseback riding, climbing, canoeing and other activities at Camp Riley are available to all children with physical disabilities.

The theme for Camp Riley 2014 is “Around the World,” so kids like Sarah get to experience “new adventures from around the globe” without leaving Bradford Woods. This year, the group of campers will represent 10 different states and 60 different Indiana counties, and as a three-year camp veteran, it looks like Sarah will represent Boone County well.

Donors interested in providing the Camp Riley experience to Indiana children with the gift of a campership should contact the Riley Children’s Foundation.

Dark chocolate: A superfood Commentary by Dawn Parker

Dark chocolate is one of my favorite healthy indulgences. Not only is it delicious, but if you buy the right kind, it can be plain talk considered a health food.

There are several health benefits to cacao (kuh-kah-oh), but unfortunately not all chocolate bars are created equal when it comes to this important ingredient. I’d like to share some of the health benefits of dark chocolate and how to choose a high-quality chocolate bar.

Chocolate is made from cacao beans, which are half cacao butter. When the cacao butter is removed, the remaining product is pulverized into cacao powder. Most people are more familiar with cocoa than cacao, so what is the difference? Cocoa is usually cacao powder treated with alkali to remove bitterness, which is called “Dutching.” This process removes many of the antioxidant flavonols, and reduces the health benefits. So if you’re trying to get the most health benefits out of your chocolate, read the label and pass on those that have alkali or Dutch processing.

Cacao has more antioxidants than most foods in the world. Antioxidants protect us from agerelated health conditions and illnesses. It is an excellent source of magnesium, iron, vitamin C and fiber. It is also a good source of PEA, aka the love hormone, zinc, manganese, tryptophan, serotonin and theobromine. Cacao has appetite-

suppressing qualities, can be a weight-loss food and is considered to be a superfood.

There are several factors to consider when choosing a chocolate bar. I recommend choosing a chocolate bar that is organic or non-GMO and with a high cacao content – 70 percent or more. Here are some ingredients to look out for in chocolate bars that are not labeled organic or non-GMO: 1) sugar, which when listed as just plain sugar (not cane sugar or evaporated cane juice, etc.) is usually from GMO sugar beets, 2) milk, lactose, milk fat or other dairy ingredients, which unless labeled otherwise, come from cows treated with antibiotics and hormones and fed GMOs, 3) soy lecithin, which unless otherwise labeled is GMO, 4) vanillin, which is not vanilla, but in many cases is a synthetic product, and 5) artificial flavors, because we don’t even know what they are.

If you have any chocolate products in your house, or next time when at the grocery store, take a moment to review the ingredient list and compare to make the healthiest choice. You’ll pay a little more for the higher quality bars, but real food costs more than food-like substances. Your health is worth the small difference in price.

Christian artist and families will ome out for the second annual Light the Night festival. (Submitted photo)

Christian music festival

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com The second-annual Light the Night Christian Music Festival starts this week at the Boone County 4H Fairgrounds in Diversion Lebanon. The festival takes place over the course of three days, from June 20 to 22.

For the Light the Night founder, Michael Dubbels, this event is about bringing the community together.

“It started as a dream idea to have a big backyard event with music and a Christian focus,” Dubbels said.

Last year, Dubbels’ dream came true when he and his family hosted The Rhett Walker Band on his property, along with other local artists and a fireworks display.

“The long story short, it was just top notch,” Dubbels said. “It went extremely well.”

This year, the county asked Dubbels if he would like to move the event to the fairgrounds to allow for more space.

The festivities kick off on Friday night when headliners such as The Rhett Walker Band and The Hunter Smith Band perform. Following them, more than 20 artists will perform the rest of the weekend. Additionally, there will be fireworks during the evenings, activities for children and teens, an antique car show, and multiple food vendors every day.

It is free general admission for anyone who wishes to attend. There are also campsites on the property, and spaces for people who want to park their RVs or set up a tent.

“The real highlight is all of the fireworks,” Dubbel said. “And that this is open to everyone in the family.”

For more details on Light the Night, visit www. lightthenightfestival.com.

schedule of events June 20 There will be ample parking for vehicles and motorcycles. Come early and set up your tent in the camping area. Stroll through the exhibits in the various vendor areas. Bring the kids to enjoy the kids zone with inflatables bounce houses and obstacle courses. Don’t miss out on all the food vendors as you prepare your way to the outdoor amphitheater and main stage to hear artists on the North Track.

June 21 Saturday kicks it into high gear with a car show and motorcycle ride in. There will be three stages with artists performing throughout the entire day. There will be activities for teens in the central lawn area north of the Main Pavilion. The kids zone will include inflatables, petting zoo, clinics, and programs for youngsters. There will be church, ministry, missions, non-profit and business vendors in the various facilities through the entire weekend. The night will end with a fireworks display at dusk.

June 22 The weekend will conclude with an extended outdoor service between 9 and 11 a.m. featuring various musicians and guest speakers.

A steeple still standing Zionsville United Methodist Church celebrates 175 years

Sister and brother Fanny Rosenstihl and Frank Huff speak to the congregation about what it was like growing up in the Zionsville United Methodist Church. “Frank and Fannie have lots of good stories,” said Jennifer Hicks, the church’s director of newcomer and congregational care.

(Submitted photo)

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com For Frank Huff, Sunday mornings were never for sleeping in.

In fact, he did quite the opposite from the time he was a small boy. His cover story mother would wake him as soon as the church bells began to ring, forcing a young Frank to make a groggy dash to the church pews.

“Mother insisted we walk to church every Sunday,” Huff said with a laugh. “She was very persistent.”

Frank and his sister, Fanny Rosenstihl, grew up in the village of Zionsville in a small home at 90 E. Pine St., and from the earliest days of their memories, they have been members of the Zionsville United Methodist Church.

This month, the church is celebrating 175 years of ministering to the community.

“Frank and Fanny have lots of good stories,” said Jennifer Hicks, the church’s director of newcomer and congregational care. “As do lots of the people in this community.”

Huff recalls the church being a “staple” in the community, and remembers passing by the two town supermarkets, the old hardware store, and the gas stations on his weekly walk to the chapel.

About ZUMC

“There were only two churches in Zionsville at that time,” Huff, 77, said. “There was the Methodist and the Christian church, so you were one or the other. And let me tell you, church was always the center of the community.”

Hicks, who has lived in Zionsville for 15 years and has raised three children in the church, said that while the church has grown and evolved throughout the years one thing remains special: the people.

“They all have a history, which is really a history of our town,” Hicks said.

Glenn Howell, Senior Pastor of ZUMC, has been working within the network of Methodist churches for 30 years and said that Zionsville’s church offers a unique environment for its congregation.

“It’s a big moment to turn 175,” he said. “Not many things in Zionsville are still going at 175. It’s a great time. And it’s like the community in the sense that this church is full of very talented, generous people.”

To mark the 175th anniversary, members of the church went on a pilgrimage to Israel earlier this year. They also held a celebration on the steps of what is now Nancy Noel’s art gallery, The Sanctuary.

This Main Street building is the site that held the church for nearly 100 years, from 1854 until 1962. Prior to this location, church was held inside a log building on Michigan Road.

In 1962, the church moved its location to the 1100 W. Oak St. site, which now houses Zionsville Town Hall. It was not until 2001 that it moved to its current location on Mulberry Street.

Fun Facts

• The church’s oldest member is Charlie Miller, who is 95.

• The longest-attending members are Marjorie Turley, who has been a member for 77 years.

Total cost of the building was $250,000.

More sense than dollars

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Dave Brat, the Tea Party challenger to Virginia GOP House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, won the primary last Tuesday night in what irrefutably was a major upset. Brat took aim at Cantor’s support of immigration legislation that would give amnesty to those that entered the United States illegally. There are mixed reports out there, but Cantor spent well more than $1 million dollars on his campaign (and had more in reserve), while Brat spent in the neighborhood of just more than $100,000. This is the first time since 1899 that a sitting majority leader had lost an election – and remember, this was the primary. Said Brat in a story posted on FoxNews.com: “If you go knocking door to door, you’ll know the American people think they’re in trouble. … It was a miracle.” Good to know there are some Republicans – and supporters – attempting to clean up the party. It’s also proof that a strong message means more than a brimming cache of cash.

When encouragement is justified Commentary by Terry Anker The now defunct Indianapolis Athletic Club had a policy of posting the names of members who were unwilling or unable to pay their bills in a timely fashion in a prominent place on the wall of the clubhouse. Deadbeats or not, it would convince the errant fellows to pay up. And, it would offer some prurient thrill to the collected mass that would routinely peruse the list with each new month. Some names would be surprising and might indicate an unusual financial problem for them or their companies. Others were familiar in the fraternity of slow-payers. Either they traveled so much that their mail (and their attentions) were lagging far behind the expectation of the accounting department; or as was more often the case, they were habitual over-spenders, gladly charging today what they could not pay for tomorrow.

It always struck me as a highly effective, if somewhat direct, way to keep receivables under control. There are many points on the sliding scale from failing to collect what we’re owed to

outright public humiliation of those who convert the property of others without fair payment.

Some organizations send slow accounts to a collection agency promptly and without fanfare.

Others, attempt to consider circumstance. Why is the payment late? Can we rely on eventual remuneration?

But do we have a right to be indignant of folks who do not pay – at least not like we do? What right does the community at large have in keeping other people current? Should we be more compassionate or less? Can we judge the neighbor whose association dues are years behind yet still maintains a fleet of automotive toys?

Can we criticize the unfulfilled pledge from the person in church with the Cadillac in the parking lot? When is a little public encouragement justified?

Q U O T E O F T H E W E E K “Our culture is competent to implement almost anything and to imagine almost nothing.”

- Walter Brueggemann

Well I just returned from my family’s annual pilgrimage to the best people-watching, and as it turns out, educational, humor amusement park in the Midwest, Kings Island. Luckily for your reading pleasure, it did not disappoint.

We arrived about 30 minutes prior to the gates opening, leaving me more than enough time to apply sunscreen to my pasty-white ginger offspring and to count tattoos among fellow park-goers. Standing in one location, I easily identified 21 ink lovers in less than 60 seconds.

We headed first to the Banshee, the new pipe coaster which claims to be the longest inverted one in the world. My youngest daughter sat out, not quite ready to submit her little body to blackout-inducing G-forces. Oh, how I wish I had volunteered to stay with her. Even with prophylactic naproxen coursing through my bloodstream, I got off the ride with a pounding headache, feeling dizzy and slightly nauseous. Assuming my mild concussion would eventually abate, I continued on to more brain-jarring rides until just after lunch, when I finally called it quits. Clearly too old for that nonsense, I transitioned to gentle log flumes and the ‘80s Flashback Show. Michael and Bruce on the same stage!

The beauty of throwing in the towel that early of course is that I had hours to sit and judge fellow patrons while my family pressed on. The reoccurring themes? Obesity and immodest dress. Granted, Kings Island has a water park and the day was plenty hot, but if I never see a plus-size gal in a string bikini top riding the Racers again in my life, that’ll be one less traumatic moment to address in counseling.

Even my 10-year-old asked why there were so many overweight people. As I sucked down a soft-serve cone, I explained about the Midwest weather and consequential lifestyle.

Then over a pepperoni pizza, we discussed how you can be stuck indoors for six months but still be healthy. At Wendy’s on the way home, we decided we’d learned some valuable lessons about nutrition and ketchup.

Our teenager’s cell phone lies somewhere underneath loop four of Diamondback, our older daughter left in tears because she just “wanted to ride one more ride,” our younger son is combating addiction after failing to win a life-size gorilla on the ring toss and I am suffering a mild wrist sprain from the Haunted House Shoot-Out. Overall, though, we can chalk up another successful Kings Island venture for the Wilson clan. Peace out.

Jet stream for my mouth Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I keep a clipboard next to my bed where I attach newspaper articles, snippets from magazines, photos, anything that might humor be an inspiration for my next column. If I still can’t think of anything funny to write by deadline, I just whack myself in the head until something dawns on me. In the past 13 years, I have done that 650 times, which should explain a lot.

On the top of the clipboard this week I inserted a little instruction pamphlet that came with a new device my dentist suggested I buy. I have several dental implements in my bathroom. He told me I needed this thingamajig because after Alyssa, the hygienist, dug away at my gums for 40 minutes last week, there was some bleeding. The doctor asked if bleeding had been a recurring problem, and I said yes – every six months when Alyssa digs away at my gums for 40 minutes.

The package arrived three days later. The box said: Hydro Floss – A New Generation of Oral Irrigators.

Yikes. This sounded like my mouth required not just a qualified dental professional, but a small team of agricultural workers, as well.

I opened the pamphlet and, as is always the case, the buyer is admonished not to use the product until all the directions have been read.

There were four subsections on the first page, all related to eliminating the possibility of elec-

trocution: DANGERS, WARNINGS, CAUTIONS and SAFEGUARDS. These are not the kinds of words you want to see associated with a machine you are going to fill with water, plug into a wall socket and then insert into your mouth. The first caution is: Never let children use the Hydro Floss without supervision. Too bad, because with two of these gadgets, kids could have a great water fight.

Using the Hydro Floss requires a deft touch.

The manufacturers recommend that you first practice in the mirror without the water stream.

The instructions say that once you feel proficient, you can fill the machine with warm water and begin. But now the manual warns you NOT to watch yourself in the mirror because, “this will cause a mess.”

Since I comb my hair and shave while looking in the mirror, I couldn’t imagine how this would be a problem. But it was. Water ended up everywhere: the floor, the mirror, all over the walls. I even got some in my mouth.

Now that I’ve learned how to use it, I can recommend the Hydro Floss. I’d also suggest you buy the two-year extended warranty. And a good mop.

READER’S VIEW

Not all right wing

Editor, David T Jones in the June 10 edition is right on.

Real journalism is unbiased, and your paper, too

often, is not. All Zionsville is not right wing. There are many moderates and liberals who live here.

Julie Johnson, Zionsville

Backshop too conservative

Editor, I agree wholeheartedly with David T. Jones letter to the editor in the June 10 issue of Current In Zionsville. I too have written to you twice regarding your Right Wing bias paraded in every issue.

The first time was over a year ago. Months went by & I refused to even open Current-tossing it instantly into the recycle bin.

Recently I have taken a peek inside just to see if this is still how you choose to operate. Sadly, I see the inflammatory, at times deceptive, misleading or misinformed Fox-fueled talking points.

“From the Backshop” & “Currentoon” only offers up your particular narrow views & NEVER depicts Republican lunacy or antics.

I reiterate what Mr. Jones stated: “ Not everyone in Zionsville is a Right Wing Conservative.”

You are incredibly offensive to those of us who are NOT Right Wing Conservatives. Why do you choose to alienate those not on the Right when

Current is apparently supposed to be a “neighborhood” publication?

Your propaganda has no place in a publication like this. Stop assuming that ALL of us in Zionsville share your distorted views-we do NOT! Playing semantics games to claim you are not Republicans when you promote the Rightest of the Right Wing exclusively is not fooling anyone.

This is an old ploy.

The thinly veiled racism (see recent commentary on Donald Sterling & “Redskins”), disregard for & distortion of facts, demeaning President Obama and Democrats in general must stop.

It is time to let the air out of the tires on the out of control clown car. In the current climate of extremism the last thing we need is more fuel on the fire from a little so-called “neighborhood paper.

THIS WEEK Dick Gregory on stage – Comedian Richard Claxton “Dick” Gregory has lived a life far from ordinary. He is listed on Comedy CARMEL Central’s Top 100 Stand-Up Comedians of All-Time, and in the 1960s helped bridge African-American comedy to Caucasian audiences with much success. Dick Gregory began performing comedy while in the U.S. Army in the mid 1950s. Through the use of irony and satire, he held up a lens to American society and its stereotypes, using comedy and social action to address injustice and discrimination in American society. A performance in 1961 at the Chicago Playboy Club launched his national reputation; within a year, he played to sold-out audiences in nightclubs and became a popular television comedian. For more information, call 848-5500.

Symphony on the Prairie returns with WWI medley

By Joseph Knoop • joseph@currentincarmel.com The annual patriotic program “keynote address” for Symphony on the Prairie will get an added musical boost this year from music songs of the First World War, which started 100 years ago.

Something else special about the 2014 “StarSpangled Symphony” – the series’ most popular weekend – is that The World War I Medley, performed by the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra under the baton of assistant conductor David Glover, will feature harmonica player Michael Runyan in his own arrangements of four doughboy favorites.

Runyan’s performance also will be his last as a symphony employee. He’ll retire after 28 years of service in the orchestra’s library at the end of August.

His interest in the harmonRunyan ica goes back decades, and wanting to exploit his ability as a professional soloist with the orchestra is part of his motivation for retiring at age 61.

There’s another musical reason, too.

“Over the years, I’ve been writing compositions and arrangements, and I haven’t had the time to put them into circulation in the wider markets,” Runyan said. “It just makes sense.

It’s intellectual property that needs to be monetized, and I think it’s stuff people would love.”

A local example is no further away than the concerts of July 3-5, with longtime Symphony on the Prairie maestro Alfred Savia on the podium.

The conductor and symphony artistic administrator Zack French strategized over a World War I medley, and, assisted by Runyan, came up with “Over There,” “It’s a Long Way to Tipperary,” “Keep the Home Fires Burning,” and “Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit Bag.” Runyan’s kit bag consists of a variety of harmonicas, ranging from low to high, and they will be drawn upon in the program’s second half. That will include his role model Richard Hayman’s arrangement of “Home on the Range,” a Hayman-Runyan version of “Shenandoah,” and a new Runyan arrangement of Charlie McCoy’s “New River Gorge.”

As the symphony’s head librarian, Runyan’s main responsibility has been to make sure he and his staff get the right music on the right stand at the right time. And advances in computer technology in the course of the past three decades have made his job somewhat easier when it comes to finding materials conductors want to perform.

Still, physical copies of the music often have to be rented and performance rights always secured.

“Over the years I’ve helped the professional orchestra world with databases to track their performances,” Runyan said, which has made orchestral libraries more efficient in generating information vital to their organizations’ history:

What was performed when, in what setting, in what edition?

There are more burdensome chores, too.

When orchestral parts are borrowed, how often have Runyan and his staff had to deal with messy parts, worn by handling and excessive, unerased markings?

“From my first day to my last,” Runyan replied with a sigh. “It’s the nature of the beast. Sometimes it’s like borrowing a used handkerchief.”

Being with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra from the inception in 1986 of its popular Yuletide Celebration spurred Runyan’s creativity.

The later arrival of Jack Everly as principal pops conductor stretched the librarian-musician even further.

“Jack’s approach is to make a musical event out of (a pops concert), make a dramatic arc to it,” Runyan said. “Timing, the era of the pieces, the works – it’s just entertaining all the way through. I think it’s a blessing that I was here to be a part of that. It’s really been an honor.”

Main Street Productions of Westfield will be staging “The Diary of Anne Frank” for the next two weekends – but with a twist.

In this gripping new adaptatheatre tion by Wendy Kesselman of the original stage play by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, newly discovered writings from the diary of Anne Frank - as well as survivor accounts - are interwoven to create an impassioned story of the lives of people persecuted under Nazi rule.

“We kept this version as pure as possible,” said director Kristin Wilson. “And everything is accurate to its time. There are pages and speeches from Anne’s diary that come directly from the book and are unedited.”

The cast, which ranges from newcomers to seasoned veterans, has worked hard to maintain the historical accuracy and raw emotion of the original play.

“I’ve read the diary several times, and it’s something I’ve always been fascinated by,” said Maggie Williams, who will star as Anne Frank.

“It’s relatable because she is just an ordinary girl thrown into her situation.”

Williams has been involved with theatre for 10 years. However, adapting to this role has been different from any of her previous roles.

“This is the first time I’ve played someone who

isn’t a fictional character,” she said. “There is more pressure trying to do a real person justice, but it’s been a good challenge.”

Much like Anne Frank’s family bonds throughout the play, the cast has developed a family-like atmosphere during rehearsals.

“Whenever you put on a show in an intimate space and everyone is on stage, you tend to get close and it is a very good bonding experience,” Williams said.

“The Diary of Anne Frank” • 7:30 p.m. June 20, 21, 27 and 28 and 2:30 p.m. June 22 and 29 • Westfield Playhouse, 1836 W. Ind. 32 in Westfield • Tickets start at $12 • For more information call 896-2707 or visit www.westfieldplayhouse.org.

Ticket lottery for sold-out musical

By Chris Bavender • editorial@youarecurrent.com

The Book of Mormon is coming to the Old National Centre June 17-22 and, while the show is almost sold out, you still have theatre a chance at tickets through a lottery.

The musical – winner of nine Tony Awards – will make a limited number of tickets available with a pre-show lottery. Entries will be accepted at the box office starting two and a half hours before each performance. Names of winners will be drawn two hours before the show for the tickets – priced at $25.

The Book of Mormon – which opened in 2011 – has been called one of the “filthiest” and “most offensive” shows on Broadway. Created by Matt Stone and Trey Parker – known for their animated TV show South Park – is the story of two young missionaries who go to Uganda to try to convert residents to the Mormon religion.

“My love for musicals comes from Rogers and Hammerstein and all the classics on VHS and the local community theatre,” Parker said. “I wanted something happy and optimistic and structured in that way and just in the same way they would do it about people living in Oklahoma or Chinese Americans in San Francisco or people in the South Pacific. It was like, this is our theme and this was our group of people and it really was let’s try and make a cool, traditional musical first and then the Mormon thing was sort of this ‘Oh,

Phyre Hawkins, Mark Evans and Christopher John O’Neill star in “The Book of Mormon.” (Submitted photo by Joan Marcus)

here’s the one – let’s do it about this.’”

“That aesthetic and that choice the church makes to make that kind of their public image seems to just fit with musical theatre,” Stone said. “There’s just something about their attitude that just makes it look like they’re about to burst into song.”

The Book of Mormon • June 17 through June 22 • Old National Centre • 502 N. New Jersey Street in downtown Indianapolis • Tickets start at $25; Winners of the ticket lottery must be present at the time of the drawing and entries are limited to one per person and two tickets per winner. • For more information call (800) 982-2787 or visit www.BookofMormonTheMusical.com.

What is a Stretch IRA?

Commentary by Joel Harris

One of the most powerful estate planning tools is the “stretch IRA,” which is a Traditional IRA or Roth IRA designed to finance allow an account owner’s beneficiaries the ability to continue tax-deferred or tax-free growth during one or more generations after the death of the original account holder.

Simply put, a stretch IRA can potentially have a profound effect for multiple family members if a huge wave of wealth is transferred during the coming years.

The first step in building a sound wealth transfer strategy is to determine to whom you’d like to leave your IRA assets. Your beneficiaries might include your spouse, children, grandchildren, a trust, a friend or neighbor, a charity or a combination of all of these.

It is imperative to do beneficiary reviews because your wishes might change.

If your spouse is designated as the beneficiary of your Traditional IRA, they have a unique advantage in that they may choose to roll the remaining account balance over to his or her own Traditional IRA. This is powerful because the spouse has the ability to make additional contributions to the IRA, name his or her own beneficiaries; and most importantly, wait until he or she is 70½ before starting required minimum distributions. This allows a spouse the ability to take advantage of the tax-deferred growth and not immediately take distributions, which count as ordinary income.

On the other hand, a non-spouse beneficiary of a Traditional IRA must begin taking RMDs (required minimum distributions) by Dec. 31 of the year following the death of the original account owner. This is where the “stretch” features really come into play for a non-spouse beneficiary.

Instead of RMDs being calculated by the original account holder’s age, the RMDs will be based on the beneficiary’s life expectancy factor as defined by the IRS’s “single life expectancy” table.

Here’s a simple example to illustrate how the stretch IRA strategy works for a non-spouse beneficiary of a Traditional IRA.

Harry is age 79, and has a Traditional IRA worth $400,000. Since Harry is older than 70½, he’s required to take RMDs based on his life expectancy. Based on his age, he will be required to withdraw at least $20,512 ($400,000 divided by 19.5), and it will be taxed as ordinary income.

Then Harry dies and names Suzy, his daughter, the beneficiary of his Traditional IRA. Suzy opens an inherited IRA and transfers the assets into the account. Suzy is 47 years old when she inherits her father’s account. Instead of RMDs being calculated on Harry’s age, the new RMDs will be calculated based on Suzy’s age. Because Suzy must take an RMD by Dec. 31 of the year following her father’s death, she will need to start taking withdrawals at age 48. At age 48, the dividing factor in the single life table for inherited IRAs is 36, so Suzy’s RMD on a $400,000 inherited IRA is $11,111 the first year, which is far less than what her father would have been required to withdraw. It is important to note that this required distribution will be taxed as ordinary income for Suzy.

The RMDs will grow for Suzy every year, but as you can see, this strategy allows her to keep more money deferred from taxes, which can potentially have a profound effect on the compounding effect of her inheritance during her lifetime.

In this column, I only primarily focused on the inheritance of a Traditional IRA. If you’re the lucky beneficiary of a Roth IRA, some different rules apply.

A stretch IRA can be one of the most powerful estate tools to leave a lasting legacy for future generations. Secondly, they can lessen the effect of ordinary income tax liability for beneficiaries because they can stretch the required distributions over a longer period of time.

As 10,000 baby boomers turn 65 every day in this great country, educating yourself on the most efficient ways to preserve and transfer your hard earned money is vitally important.

Eli Lilly now part of testosterone-replacement lawsuit – Abbott Laboratories, AbbVie Inc. must face lawsuits consolidated in federal court in Chicago that claim they hid the risks of using the testosteronereplacement drug AndroGel, a panel of judges ruled.

The market for testosterone replacement drugs, which include AndroGel and Axiron, made by Indianapolis-based Eli Lilly and Co., is worth $1.6 billion annually. The consolidation will encompass all suits against makers of testosterone-replacement pills, including Lilly, the panel said in its order. Lilly had $178.7 million in Axiron sales in 2013. The decision to collect the AndroGel cases comes after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said it will re-examine the safety of testosterone-replacement drugs after studies showed the medicine posed an increased risk of heart attack and stroke.

Brazilian Churrasco meat is perfect for a World Cup cookout. (Photo by Ceci Martinez)

Recipe for World Cup fans

For all the soccer fans out there two words come to my mind: BRAZIL 2014!

Just to write these words makes my heart jump with excitement for the World Cup. It always amazes me the power of soccer; for 30 days it unites the world.

Let’s welcome the World Cup and celebrate it the Brazilian way by throwing a block party with friends and neighbors, or just a BBQ with your loved ones. For this fun and thrilling event my husband is helping me in the kitchen. He is making this delicious Brazilian meat with this terrific, brightly and tangy sauce that goes well with everything! Drizzle this on fish, chicken, sausages and vegetables. You can even dip bread in it! It’s a regular guest at our summer table!

Note: For an extra Latin beat to your party listen to this great CD: “50 Top Brazil Party Hits Playlist” It will keep the party going all night! You can also find it on iTunes.

CHURRASCO Ingredients: 2 lbs top sirloin steak, cut in kabobs, Coarse sea salt, Pepper, Olive oil Directions: Preheat a gas grill. Pad dry meat kabobs with paper towel. Insert a grilling skewer through 4 kabobs leaving about an 1/2 inch between kabobs. Add sea salt and pepper to meat and grill to desired term ~ 4-6 min on each side depending on thickness of meat cut. Remove

from grill and place on a serving board. While cooking kabobs grill a selection of your choice of organic vegetables (Portobello mushrooms, asparagus, bell peppers) previously oiled with virgin oil and salted.

CHIMICHURRI This marinade must be made at least an hour in advance; I like to do mine a day before.

Make sure to use fresh herbs, as it makes a huge difference. I don’t like to use a blender or food processor.

Ingredients: 1 cup finely chopped fresh flatleaf parsley leaves, 2 tablespoons fresh oregano, 2 tablespoons minced garlic, 2 tablespoons minced red bell pepper, 2 tablespoons minced shallot or white onions (optional), 1 to 2 tablespoons crushed red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper Directions: Chop parsley, oregano, garlic, red bell pepper and onions; add ingredients to a bowl and sprinkle with red pepper flakes; add cumin, vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper. Makes about 1 cup. Marinate the meat in the sauce when you serve the dish.

He hasn’t performed any advertis-ing whatsoever – not even the most basic methods! There was no flyer box, there was just one open house after Lindsey had begged. The photos online were terrible & dark. He even stood her up for a scheduled appointment because he was on the golf course. She got Jennifer’s contact info from a friend, and the rest is history! Jennifer handled the listing of Lindsey’s adorable home in her usual manner, & an acceptable offer was received within 21 days. Just a simple amount of attention was all Lindsey needed to get that house sold. She told Jennifer later on that she was “blown away” by the effort that was put into the marketing of her home. Hearing Lindsey’s story was horrifying, but Jennifer was thrilled to be the LAST agent Lindsey needed to call.

Don’t mistake these words Commentary by Jordan Fischer

The English language has a lot of words that look alike. Some of them are related, some have nearly identical meangrammar guy ings, and others just don’t mean the same thing at all. The latter tends to cause confusion when speakers aren’t familiar with the differences. To help you avoid a mix-up, here are a few words that share looks, but not meanings.

Contingent and contingency: You probably know the word contingency. It’s often paired with plan and means a possible event. Its adjectival form, contingent, means subject to chance or dependent on something not yet certain (i.e.

Your ability to go on vacation is contingent upon your request for days off being accepted).

The noun contingent, however, means a representative group or a quota of troops. The correct way to use it would be to say, “A contingent from the Associated Press has asked the White House for greater transparency.” Often those unfamiliar with the word will erroneously use contingency in a situation like this rather than contingent.

Levee and levy – A levee is a structure built to prevent a river from flooding nearby land. To

levy is to impose a tax or draft.

Regimen and regiment – A regimen is a regulated course of diet, exercise or manner of living. A doctor might prescribe a regimen of antibiotics to counter a bacterial infection in a patient. A regiment is a military unit.

Reign and rein – This one is a little confusing.

A reign is the rule of a monarch, and reins are straps used to control an animal. However, phrases like “take the reins” – to take control – and “free rein” – to be without constraints – create, an artificial similarity between the words under the brain’s label of “words that mean control.”

Desert and dessert – You’d think people would have learned this one by now, but I’ve seen it messed up everywhere from billboards to restaurant menus to websites. A dessert is the course after dinner – typically something sweet like pie or ice cream. A desert is a barren or uninhabitable place. If you’re eating a desert after dinner, you’re doing it wrong.

The Palace of Westminster (Photo by Don Knebel)

Westminster’s home of traditions Commentary by Don Knebel The Palace of Westminster, lying along the west bank of the River Thames, is the official name of the building housing England’s ParliaTravel ment. Although most of the eightacre complex was built in the 19th century, its traditions reflect a much longer history.

The original Palace of Westminster, the London home of English kings before becoming the meeting place of Parliament, was almost completely destroyed by fire in 1834. Parliamentary committees rejected proposed classical designs they thought suggested the White House and U. S. Capitol, considered symbols of rebellion. They selected instead a style known as “perpendicular Gothic,” with three towers more than 300 feet tall. The building, completed in 1870, includes 1,100 rooms, 100 stairways, three miles of hallways and a shooting range. “Big Ben” is a bell, housed in the Elizabeth Clock Tower. The Chambers for the House of Commons were rebuilt after being bombed in World War II and intentionally has fewer seats than members.

The building incorporates traditions from earlier eras. The Lord Speaker of the House of Lords sits on a red sack of wool reflecting the central

importance of wool to England’s medieval economy, a custom dating from the 14th century. A box of snuff near the entrance to the Commons Chamber has been kept full since at least the 17th century, when smoking was banned. Members of Parliament from opposing parties face each other on historic green-covered benches, with two red lines on the floor between them demarking an area where no one may stand. The lines are said to be two sword lengths apart to prevent dueling. MPs are expected to hang their swords on pink ribbons in the cloak room.

The best time to visit the Palace of Westminster is on Wednesdays, when the Prime Minister fields questions from the Leader of the Opposition, accompanied by heckling and cat calls. The session has gotten less raucous since the questioning time was moved to before lunch, when MPs used to down a pint or two to get ready, but it is still entertaining. Seats in the now shielded Strangers’ Gallery are limited, so plan ahead.

Generating appropriate shade to relax, escape Commentary by Randy Sorrell The featured project speaks to many luxury outdoor living trends from the need for shade to the love of employing natural OUTdoors materials. This hidden patio almost feels neglected from the rest of the property. It’s nestled off the side of the house, not necessarily easy to get to and is recessed into the grade by three substantial cut-limestone slab steps. And its’ perfect. Exactly what the homeowners wanted to experience when we planned this escape from reality for them. It’s there place to manage a little down time from the kids, read a book and enjoy a glass of wine.

SHADE STRATEGIES How to generate appropriate shade is perhaps the most frequently asked question we respond to. Of course shade trees are very affective, but waiting several years for impact is typically not preferred. Umbrellas are fantastic too, and we employ them often, but can get in the way.

Often, it’s a combination of strategies that bring the hoped for shade and the structurally sound pergola is a preferred tool. A wellplanned pergola can echo architectural details from the interior of the home serving to blend the spaces together. It can formalize an area or naturalize it based upon construction details and paint palette. But mostly it simply creates a nice dappled shade area that travels with the

Cool kitchen and bath ideas

Commentary by David Decker

We are always on the lookout for new trends, styles and updates that can transform your living spaces. Here, I’ve compiled a indoors list of cool ideas for kitchen and bathroom updates that may inspire you to jumpstart a few summer renovation projects. Take a look and start feeling creative.

Kitchen • Floating shelves: Instead of storing their dishes away in cupboards and cabinetry, more homeowners are choosing to display them as part of the kitchen aesthetic. Floating shelves are designed to be installed on a wall without showing any hardware or stabilizing brackets.

• Brass, black and gold metals: In everything from faucets to cabinet fixtures, brass, black and brushed gold have become trendier trendy than traditional silver.

• Colorful backsplashes: Looking for a way to put a pop of color into your neutral kitchen? Try using colored tiles to create a visually exciting backsplash. Tiles are so versatile that you can experiment with designs using solid colors, patterns or mosaics.

• Corner sinks: Most kitchens don’t utilize the corner for anything more than a countertop or appliance. A corner sink can free up your countertop space while bring a unique and trendy look to the kitchen.

• Outside kitchens: For the family who enjoys eating, cooking and entertaining in the sunny weather, an outside kitchen is the perfect set-up. Outside kitchens are growing in popularity around the country, because they are so impressive, glamorous and functional at the same time.

Bathroom • Stand alone tubs: Because they take up less space than the traditional tiled-in-tub, many homeowners are choosing to install a freestanding tub. This also frees up space to create a luxurious modern shower.

• Luxury showers: When it comes to relaxing and unwinding after a tough day, showers are becoming more popular than bathtubs. Look for spacious showers that

“Posting our job opening in Current was a tremendous success. Within hours of the issue being distributed, we had numerous inquiries from very qualified individuals. We signed up to have our ad run for two weeks, but was able to settle for one since we found the perfect person to fill our position so quickly. You can't beat Current when trying to reach out to the local public, and we will definitely use its services again."

don’t include a traditional bench seat.

• Innovative storage: Bathrooms always seem overcrowded with beauty products, shaving kits, soaps, electronics and more.

Maximize your storage space by taking advantage of moveable storage, deep cabinet drawers and behind the door storage.

• Glamorous lighting: A great lighting scheme in the bathroom can help you start and end your day in the right mood. Ditch your traditional overhead, vanity lighting for some innovative LED backlighting or stylish wall sconces. Install an overhead light or chandelier for an extra touch of elegance.

• Smart electronics and appliances: Technological advances like touch-less faucets, high efficiency toilets and showerheads that conserve water are in high demand.
