Market study moved to town council

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com

Peak parking hours in the village

At last week’s Zionsville Plan Commission meeting, president of the Zionsville Economic Development Committee, Charlie Edwards, stood development before the commission and presented the most recent version of the Downtown Market Study and Parking Analysis, an initiative steered by the EDC. Edwards, a resident of Zionsville since 1976, said that the EDC is an “an umbrella organization” for marketing and economic development in Zionsville, and was excited to participate in a study that would draw attention to the village.

Previously, the EDC led the way for developments in Creekside Corporate Park and South Main Village.

“The third prong to look at was the village,” Edwards said.

Diane Williams, the director of BDI, and Peter Lemmon, a civic engineer with TADI, were hired by the EDC to do the market study and parking analysis.

Williams said that in studying Zionsville, the word “authenticity” came up time and time again as she looked at where people dine, and where people shop.

“You have a number of downtown business niches that are really strong,” Williams said.

• Noon to 1 p.m. on weekdays • 10 to 11 a.m. on Saturdays

Lemmon told the group that his research shows Zionsville as a place with a lot of community involvement.

In Sept. 2013, Lemmon and Williams collected survey responses from more than 900 Zionsville residents.

“The other thing that we wanted to drive this plan was data,” Williams said. “We didn’t just track people’s beliefs and feelings were but what their actions were.”

A primary focus of the study was on parking, of which Lemmon said 860 parking spots were found. Half of these parking spots are private, while the other half are public.

“We got a lot of good feedback as the process was going,” Lemmon said. “And if people are willing to walk two blocks from their primary destination parking is really pretty good in the village.”

President of the plan commission, Allan Rachles, said that this study “is one of the best pieces of work” he’s ever seen, and the group consequently agreed that the study should be moved to the Zionsville Town Council, where it is expected to become part of the town’s comprehensive master plan.

Degrees awarded – Miami University in Ohio has awarded the following Zionsville residents with degrees during their spring commencement exercises: Mitchell Wyatt, Adam Ward, Nicole Studebaker, Casey Smitson, Chelsea Patterson, Claire Mattison, Liesl Carney, Hannah Biggs and Mackenzie Andrews.

New bariatrics office – IU Health Bariatrics has begun seeing patients in their new office, located within the Medical Office Building at IU Health North Hospital, 11725 N. Illinois St., Suite 350.

In this version of the tale, Noah (Russell Crowe) is a temperamental eco-warrior, a vegetarian who carefully harvests the bounty of the land, as opposed to the meat-eating descendants of Cain, who mine for precious metals, wage constant wars, and worse.

He receives dream-visions from the Creator (the word “God” is never used) indicating He plans to destroy the world, and Noah is charged with saving all his creatures. Read more at www. currentnightandday.com.

In Indiana, in any Dissolution of Marriage, Post-Dissolution, or Paternity action, the court will enter a child support obligation to be paid by one of the parties, (typically, the noncustodial parent). The Indiana Child Support Guidelines are presumed to be applicable in every such proceeding and govern the payment and determination of child support. The Guidelines are based on the “Income Shares” theory; specifically, that both parents are responsible for the support of a child based upon their respective income shares. The underlying philosophy is that a child should be provided the same lifestyle which would have been afforded to him/her had the family remained intact or had the parties married. The Guidelines are presumed to apply in each case unless a reason can be shown as to why a deviation from the calculated obligation is warranted. In determining the support obligation, child support calculators are used to create a Child Support Worksheet, which must be filed with the Court in each proceeding. In addition to the parties’ gross incomes, other factors included in determining the support obligation are: actual work-related childcare expenses, healthcare insurance premiums for the children, parenting time overnights exercised, support or maintenance received or paid, and subsequent children in either parties’ home. When a Court deems appropriate, numerous benefits received by one party, including parties’ bonus incomes, commissions, or even regular gifts from family or friends, may be included as income for support purposes.

There are a number of reasons to deviate from the presumed obligation by the Guidelines. These include, but are not limited to, voluntary unemployment or under-employment by one of the parties. If a Court finds either of these to be a factor, it may impute potential income to that party for purposes of determining support.

There are cases wherein clients propose to their attorney an agreement with the opposing party to forgo the receipt of support. This is not appropriate in most cases. Such an arrangement may be appropriate if the parties equally share physical custody of the child(ren) and agree to share expenses due to the fact that their incomes are relatively similar, however, parties must understand that it is not their right to waive support for the child(ren), rather it is the child’s right to receive the same.

Issues with respect to child support are very fact sensitive and different issues will arise in each case. A thorough knowledge and understanding of the Guidelines is necessary to determine the appropriate obligation in any given case when issues arise.

At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., our team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs.

Sign up now for a chance to be Miss Fall Fest

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com

Paige Harder smiles as she is awarded during Miss Fall Festival last year. This year’s competition is on Sept. 7, in the Zionsville Town Hall Community Room. (Submitted photo.)

Louanne Gibralte knows a thing or two about pageants, even though she’s never actually been in one herself.

For several years now, the Lions Club’s Fall Festival has held a Fall Fest Miss Fall Festival competition. And for the last four years, Gibralte has been the competition’s director.

“I am not a former pageant participant,” she said. “I got involved in this through the Zionsville Lions Club.”

She said at first she was asked to judge in the competition, and then eventually she was running the whole show. Her co-director this year is Gail Robbins.

The local pageant is for girls from ages 13 to 17, and participants must reside in Boone County and not be a graduating senior the year of competition.

“This is a scholarship pageant associated with the Miss America Organization,” Gibralte said. “The winner of Miss Indiana Outstanding Teen will then go to Orlando to compete for the title of Miss America’s Outstanding Teen. So this is a kind of like a ‘junior’ Miss America. So you must compete at the local level first, which that is what our pageant is), then go to state, then go to national.”

The winner of the Miss Fall Fest pageant will receive a $500 scholarship from the Zionsville Lions Club. “[The winner] also gets to be involved with many different events during her reigning year,” Gibralte said. “Many events such as parades, opening ceremonies, dinners, luncheons, programs, and shows.”

The reigning Miss Fall Festival is Paige Harder, who placed in the top ten this year at the Miss Indiana Outstanding Teen pageant held in June. Before Harder, the titleholder was Samantha Robbins.

This year’s pageant will take place on Sept. 7, inside the Zionsville Town Hall Community Room.

“It is one day only and the winner is announced at the end of the pageant,” Gibralte said.

Contestants must register by Aug. 25. There is no entry fee to participate. To register or get more details on how to participate, email missfallfestival@gmail.com.

Yoga can be intimidating at first. However, if you can let go of judgment and inhibitions, on the mat it does not have to be.

Yoga can bring out the child in you just by laying on the floor and having fun. One of my favorite poses that has huge benefits is shoulderstand. This pose has been called queen or mother of all poses and even an all-body-parts pose. In Sanskrit it is known as sarvangasana.

The king of all poses is the headstand.

My favorite way to get into shoulderstand is to curl myself into a ball while sitting on my mat then rock and roll four or five times on my spine before lifting my feet up into the air and placing my hands at my hips. It is so important not to look left or right while in this pose so you do not compromise your neck. To lift yourself as high as you can, support you back with both your hands and keep your elbows close to your body. Hold this pose for six to 12 long inhalations and exhalations.

A highly acclaimed yogi has confirmed that

“some yogis do only this pose.” It can be held for 30 seconds up to 30 minutes. Shouldstand is a cure-all for most of the common ailments we encounter, like constipation and the common cold. This inverted pose allows fresh, healthy blood to circulate throughout your entire body. It alleviates hypertension and relieves insomnia and soothes the nerves. It can be practiced on a daily basis.

Modification: If this pose is just not right for you, never fear. You can do “legs up the wall pose” or Viparita Karani.

No kidding. You just sit on the ground with one hip as close to the wall as possible. With one smooth movement, swing your legs up the wall and your shoulders and head lightly down onto the floor. Your sitting bones are as close to the wall as possible.

Close your eyes and breathe knowing you are getting all the wonderful benefits of shoulderstand, too.

Wasps imported to save Ash trees Commentary by Ward Degler It’s been a sad few years for Minnesota. But, maybe the end is in sight.

When I lived there in the Plain talk 1970s, the state was plagued with Dutch elm disease. The vicious little elm bark beetle came from Asia in wooden packing crates and attacked elm trees by the millions, killing them by boring under the bark and cutting off the flow of sap.

The state department of natural resources organized cutting and disposal crews, armed them with chainsaws and sent them out to cut down every diseased tree in the state.

The trees numbered in the millions. Unfortunately, because of the pervasive nature of the beetles, the trees could not be used for lumber or for firewood. Instead they were dumped into yawning pits hastily dug with bulldozers. Every community had one, and when all the trees had been dumped into them, they were sprayed with insecticide and covered with dirt.

It was a tragedy of epic proportions because the elm tree was Minnesota’s most popular shade tree. Streets were lined with them. I had three in my backyard.

Perhaps no town was more drastically affected than Mountain Lake, a small college town south of the Twin Cities. Main Street was also the highway that ran through the middle of town. Both sides of the street were lined with

huge elm trees that joined their branches overhead forming a picturesque tunnel. In the spring the air was light green from emerging foliage. In the fall the light turned amber. Everyone slowed down to enjoy the drive through Mountain Lake.

Then the chainsaws came, the trees were cut down and the town was reduced to a moonscape.

The city fathers met and declared they would rebuild with new trees. They planted ash trees.

Other cities followed suit and soon willowy ash saplings were filling the gaps left by the elms.

Then a new plague arrived, also from Asia, and also in wooden packing crates. The emerald ash borer marched across the state and found a banquet waiting. The insects were first discovered in 2002 in Michigan. They multiplied rapidly and quickly became a lethal threat to Minnesota ash trees, including those along Main Street in Mountain Lake.

But this time tragedy may be averted. A solution may have been found to save the trees. Minnesota just announced the import of a stingless wasp known to the scientific crowd as Tetrastichus planipennisi. The wasp is a parasite which lays its eggs under the bark of the ash tree, and the larva attacks the ash borer.

And, oh yeah, the wasp also comes from Asia.

Duke site at max capacity

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com

The joint project between Browning Investments and Duke Realty’s AllPoints building in Anson has resulted in a multi-faceted leasing project over the last year.

DEVELOPMENT Now, more than 257,000 square feet have been filled with the help of logistics firm Kenco, meaning that building 7A is 100 percent full.

“When we decided to develop AllPoints at Anson 7A on a speculative basis, we were confident that we would be able to lease it quickly given interest in this submarket and the limited number of modern, high-quality properties available in Indianapolis’ northwest quadrant,” said Charlie Podell, Senior Vice President of Duke Realty’s Indiana operations. “We are pleased to welcome Kenco to AllPoints at Anson 7A and reach full occupancy in this property.”

According to Podell, AllPoints at Anson is one of the largest distribution parks in the Indianapolis-metro area. The precast concrete building features 32-foot-high dock doors, dock bays, interior bays and a 61-trailer stating area, in addition to a large car parking lot.

Although all of the existing AllPoints buildings in Anson are now at capacity, there is still 316 acres of land available to support an estimated six million square feet of industrial, data center or manufacturing space.

“Bringing this building to 100 percent occupancy in the first half of 2014 is testament to the unparalleled advantages that AllPoints at Anson offers,” said John Hirschman, President and CEO of Browning Investments. “This premier industrial campus, located off of I-65 in Whitestown and just north of I-465, provides convenient interstate access to both Indianapolis and Chicago.”

Maplehurst bakery expanding

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com

Fresh baked goods frozen to perfection and shipped across the country, where they are unwrapped and enjoyed by thousands; this is what Maplehurst Bakeries is all DEVELOPMENT about.

Headquartered in Brownsburg, the company is expanding its manufacturing facilities into Boone Co., with a new, 180,000-square-foot plant expected to open in March 2015.

The location will be in the fast-growing territory on the border of Lebanon and Whitestown.

The manufacturing facility will house the company’s warehouse, distribution and manufacturing operations for cake and cupcake products.

Last week Gov. Mike Pence commented on the expanding job growth in Boone County, saying

that for growing companies like Maplehurst Bakeries, Indiana’s workforce, lower expenses, and central location provide the perfect “recipe for business success.”

“Maplehurst Bakeries’ growth is a win for Indiana, and we welcome hundreds of new Hoosier jobs,” Pence said.

Maplehurst Bakeries, which currently has more than 1,000 employees across the country, including more than 300 full-time employees in Indiana, plans to begin hiring more than 200 people in December.

“This new state-of the-art plant will give Maplehurst Bakeries the added capacity to better serve our North American customers with a wider product assortment of cakes,” said Kevin McDonough, president of Maplehurst Bakeries’ Weston Food’s frozen division.

Taste for a Cure

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com Running from Aug. 5 to Aug. 10, the Traders Point Charity Horse Show and Country Fair at Wild Air Farms will be bigger than ever this year, according to event organizer and spokeswoman, Janelle Morrison.

“You don’t have to be a rider or have ever been a rider to appreciate the athleticism of this event,” Morrison said.

This athleticism is, according to Morrison, of “Olympic quality.”

“This is the best of the best,” Morrison said. “But you can be any age, any level of experience… and enjoy the show.”

Established by Elizabeth “Liz” Johnson, an acclaimed equestrian and Zionsville resident, the charity horse show benefits Riley Hospital for Children, a cause that is near and dear to Johnson’s heart.

“Over the course of the years, with her son Johnny Johnson, they have continued to grow the show itself … they keep expanding in ways that are nationally recognized,” Morrison said. “Mrs. Johnson is the epitome of grace and service to her

community and she wants to make sure that her land is preserved and benefits the community in a meaningful way. She is always thoughtful to how she can help the local community of Zionsville … but she also has a global vision of helping the doctors and researchers at Riley.”

Just this year, the Traders Point Hunt Show was named as the third greatest show in the country.

“We just received the certificate. The news came from Lexington, Kentucky, from the National Show Hunter Hall of Fame. And it is a high honor for Mrs. Johnson for this event to be named as such.”

For more on the history of Wild Air Farms and its owner, Liz Johnson, visit www.currentzionsville.com.

Riley Hospital for Children will be hosting their 2nd annual Taste for A Cure event at Wild Air Farms on Aug. 7. Proceeds will benefit the diabetes and heart research at Riley Hospital for Children. The event is in conjunction with the 37th annual Trader’s Point Hunt Charity Horse Show.

Guests can enjoy tastings from local restaurants, Weber Grill, Cobblestone Grill, Sweet N’ Savory, Eddie Merlots, Dominos, Stone Creek, Granite City and Patrick’s Kitchen. Beer, wine and cocktail tastings will be provided

by Sun King Brewery, Rettig Hill Winery and Fuzzy’s Ultra Premium Vodka.

The event will run from 6 to 8:30 p.m. and the tickets are $50 per person. Attendees must be 21 or older to attend. The band Henle and Loops will provide musical entertainment.

Last year, elementary French students made crepes, or French pancakes, during one of their before-school French lessons. (Submitted photo)

Allez! K-4 students can get ahead early with French class

By Devynn Barnes • news@currentzionsville.com

Aspiring French speakers can get an early start thanks to L’École Française, or The French School, a before-school French program for elementary-aged Zionsville schoolchildren.

This school year, students in grades kindergarten through fourth grade can start soaking in the skills they need to become successful French speakers all before their normal school day even starts.

Gretchen Carlson, public relations liaison for L’École Française, has seen first-hand the benefits of learning a language early, and she knows the effectiveness of the program. She said that the earlier children learn French, the better.

“[It’s] a Canadian curriculum – it’s meant for English speakers learning to speak French,” Carlson said.

Aimed at an elementary audience, the program includes lots of games, singing, and interactive activities as opposed to repeated memorization. The teachers keep the learning fun, and the kids reap huge benefits in return.

“By learning a language before you’re 12, you’re able to hold onto the language in a different way,” Carlson said, and recent research agrees with her.

In a study conducted by Duke University, president of the National Network for Early Language Learning Therese Sullivan Caccavale noted the advantages of l earning a second language as a child.

“Studies have shown repeatedly that foreign language learning

increases critical thinking skills, creativity, and flexibility of mind in young children. Students who are learning a foreign language outscore their non-foreign language learning peers in the verbal and, surprisingly to some, the math sections of standardized tests,” Caccavale said.

Caccavale said there is no time like the present for a child to begin the journey of learning a foreign language, and L’École Française can help lead the way.

Classes begin the second week of school, on Aug. 19, and registration can be completed through Eagle Rec on each ZCS elementary school’s homepage. For more information, contact Gretchen Carlson at zionsvillefrench@gmail.com or visit www. zionsvillefrench.org.

ReadUP seeking tutors

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com ReadUP volunteers are needed this fall in Boone County, as school children hit the books once again.

“This is a successful United Way of Central Indiana program to help kids improve their reading skills will continue in Boone County this fall,” said Christie Snyder, United Way Boone County area director.

ReadUP tutoring is part of United Way’s education priority that focuses on early childhood development and elementary education.

“I firmly believe daily reading practice increases reading comprehension and frequently inspires students to read to learn, as well as to read for enjoyment. The ReadUP program provides increased opportunities for regular reading practice with the guidance of an adult tutor,” said Diane Scott, director of curriculum and instruction. “The student participants’ exposure to another adult

who fosters the value of reading is another powerful benefit of the ReadUP program.”

Tutors are needed on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Students will read from a selected book while the tutor assists and asks questions designed to improve comprehension and build confidence. Volunteers can register to become a Boone County tutor at www.uwci.org/ register-for-readup.

A 90-minute mandatory training is provided for tutors. Trainings will be held on Aug. 19 and Aug. 26 in Lebanon. Volunteers must also pass a criminal history check.

Interested in learning more about how you can help our children succeed? Contact Amy Hammerle, the Boone County Volunteer Engagement Coordinator for United Way of Central Indiana, at 765483-0165 or amy.hammerle@uwci.org.

No permanent damage: Round Two Commentary by Julie Osborne The launch is upon me – again! With Nate a rising junior at Boston College, younger sister Carolyn will soon be flying the nest but much closer to home, my alma mater Indiana University. I would be lying if I said I wished she was joining her brother on the East Coast. The thought of packing up a car instead of large cardboard boxes less than 50 pounds, driving south instead of around Boston “rotaries” (i.e. roundabouts on steroids), and seeing him only at holidays is not an experience I wish to reproduce. Good ol’ Indiana works for me and it does for Carolyn, too. No brainwashing required.

As an experienced launcher, I have learned a few things along the way. Here are a few of my favorites to share with your college-bound kids: • Visit the bookstore to check out the books before registration. The same class with a different professor can have totally different books. If you don’t like the books, can you imagine the class?

• Wash everything in cold water. Dry on low heat – enough said!

• Go to extra classes the first two weeks of school in case you need to make a change. Professors will likely let you in if

you show interest.

• Be a contributor to the school. This is slightly different than the “Get Involved” theme every school preaches. Why not take it a step further and look for ways to match your passions with the needs of the school? “Make this college a better place.” Later, you can tackle the world.

• Red Solo cups work for water, too.

• Assertiveness at airports is essential, especially three days before Christmas. If volunteers are needed, don’t give up your seat unless a boarding pass for the next flight is provided AT THAT MOMENT. Otherwise, the first Christmas back together may not be together.

And, of course, my final advice I will be repeating again as I say my tearful goodbye to Carolyn on Aug. 20, “No permanent damage – no babies, no tattoos, no trips to the hospital!”

I’m not concerned about this at all, but it doesn’t make the second time around any easier.

New business owner wants to help kids eat better

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com

Dawn Parker knows a thing or two about food, and as a certified health coach, her passion is sharing that knowledge with everyone she meets.

“Having worked in the health care field for over 15 years, the more I learned about how our health care system works, and its shortcomings, the more I felt drawn towards nutrition as the solution,” Parker said. “I learned about issues with our food supply that shocked me and how to improve the way my family eats. I learned how to use food as medicine and went from

someone who caught every cold, flu or virus that went around to someone who hasn’t caught even a cold in almost three years. And I owe this turnaround to knowing and utilizing the power of nutrition.”

Parker was trained at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, where she learned hundreds of theories in healthy eating. Now, she is on the cusp of opening her first Zionsville business to help guide Parker people in their search for the most balanced lifestyle.

“Having worked one-on-one with clients for over a year now, I am opening this new office to expand my practice. I will continue to focus on working with clients one-on-one, as well as increase my ability to work with couples and groups,” she said.

Parker, herself a mother of picky eaters, said she has honed her own cooking skills, and knows exactly how to help families integrate good foods into their children’s diets. “[My cooking skills] were pretty average to start, and now I know how to make truly healthy food taste delicious, even by my kids’ picky standards,” she said. “Knowing how much this knowledge has meant for me and my family, I want to share that knowledge with everyone I can. I am especially passionate about working with women and moms because I feel that teaching our

Parker recommends parents offer their kids a “buffet” of veggies to try at mealtimes.

FROM THE BACKSHOP

Commentary by Danielle WIlson

IRS e-mails are gone for good

There is much anti-Internal Revenue Service sentiment lingering multiple months after the infamous missing e-mails become known to the sheep of this nation. We all expect answers as to where the e-mails to and from former IRS “executive” Lois Lerner actually are. Believe this: We’ll never know. It’s that simple - unless, of course, someone comes forward and rats her out. Still, we don’t see that happening. People, there is a reason Lerner invoked the Fifth Amendment and refused to testify about the whole mess. That reason? She doesn’t want us to know. The Grand Old Party wants all of us to believe this is obstruction of justice. It is, in our opinion, but the fact that the Republicans, the party of no backbone, are calling it such seems to lessen the impact or severity. And what of the head honcho at the IRS, John Koskinen?

He’s appearing to be too much of a sideshow to run the agency efficiently, not that anyone really is up to that task. He was supposed to bring back the luster for the embattled office (like it ever existed), and President Barack Obama indicated that would happen. Instead, we hear Koskinen’s lectures and vitriol, and everything seems as dysfunctional as it was before his appointment to the helm. And, as multiple news outlets have reported, it seems the president wanted his “guy” in charge, because the agency (insert massive shudder here) was charged with the monumental task of implementing ObamaCare. Nothing like having one among the home team watching out for the clubhouse’s best interests. Some believe the safer move would have been to have someone from the GOP run the show at the IRS. That wouldn’t have worked, either.

And as for the president, with this, domestic issues, the Middle East and countless other agenda items up in the air, he chose to attend a number of fundraisers on the West Coast last week. Again, wait for the movie, because the e-mails are not coming.

Lap of luxury Commentary by Terry Anker Few would argue that the current system of rapidly increasing costs and compounding debt is a sustainable long-term plan for higher education. Yet there are even fewer among us who might dare to challenge the accepted standard for the paper chase. Certainly, we lucky ones who have managed to matriculate, secure employment, and then make good use of the opportunities presented are standing specimens of the incontrovertible truth that graduates make more money and encounter superior choices over those, on average, without the sheepskin.

But in a time of burgeoning and suffocating obligations levied upon those who can least afford it, is the higher education system doing all that it can to open a path to admit more of us to the supposed nirvana of degreed status? Many universities have fallen into a feedback loop of rising costs (often exceeding the cost of living by a dozen or more times in the years since we made our way out of the hallowed halls) and ever-increasing amenities (always claiming that

luxe is the key to a qualified and diverse student body).

Are granite counter tops and city bus passes required to become educated? Would one’s understanding of the basic principles of accounting be adversely affected if they had to share a bathroom in the dorm? America continues to teeter, even after the explosive financial correction of these past several years, attempting to balance what it can afford with what it wants.

Does indulging our desire to swaddle young people in luxury ensure they will live a life enslaved to debt?

Luxury education is not the same as higher education. And when we confuse the two, perhaps we need to go back to school and figure out the distinction. I will take a private room with a view of the rec sports center.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK When you’re racing, you’re living, everything else is just waiting.

– Steve McQueen

As I sit at my desk preparing to write this final installment of my controversial three-part series “Evolution of a Dance humor Mom: An Exposé,” (Pulitzer, take note!) I can’t help but notice how my journey parallels that of someone travelling through the five stages of grief.

After my daughter’s first-ever dance competition in January, I wrote of nothing but positives … the supportive and professional atmosphere, the fair and clearly-defined judging guidelines, and the beauty and grace of all the young performers. Dance was the perfect creative and empowering outlet for girls everywhere.

Yay dance! Looking back now, I can clearly see I was floating in the shock and denial phase, subconsciously unable and unwilling to look below the glitter lipstick and faux lashes to the crazy that quietly fermented beneath.

By her third competition, however, I had moved on to anger. I couldn’t figure out how awards were bestowed, and for that matter, how age groups and skill levels were defined.

I’d had it up to her tiara with obnoxious mothers screeching during performances, “WORK IT, KAYLA!” and “YEAH, JASMINE! OWN IT!” And I was done with the eight hours of wait time for three minutes of jazz. On a Saturday. And again on Sunday. Dance is outrageously expensive and most moms are all clearly living vicariously through their tiny tappers; why hadn’t anyone warned me? This wasn’t fair! Where’d my life go? Damn it!

But we were committed, and I was forced to stay the course. I failed miserably at the bargaining stage (“If you don’t sign up next year, I’ll buy you a pony!”) and muddled through a few weeks of depression (“I’m sorry my tears ruined your bun, honey . . . I’m just so sad to be missing the family reunion.”). Those were the darkest of days.

As the season finished this past week at Nationals, however, I’m proud to say I finally reached the last phase, that of acceptance.

My daughter has found her passion, and when I see her light up with pure joy as she leaps across those stages, I know that I must suppress my gut instinct to grab her and run as fast as I can to the nearest rec soccer field. I must do whatever is in my power as a parent to put her dreams ahead of my frustrations. I have accepted the cost, the time commitment, even the requisite sequenced booty shorts. I know to bring a good book, a pair of quality ear plugs, and to simply enjoy the endless opportunities to ruthlessly judge other women and their children. I accept my fate.

My name is Danielle. I am a dance mom.

Peace out.

Memory lane: What a trip

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

My wife is planning a very exciting vacation to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary. This was a big surprise to me. Not the humor vacation part, but the 35 years. I thought it was 34. Right now she is on the back porch, the patio table stacked high with books and brochures, notepad in hand, as she prepares for her next Internet search. She has made me look at photos and videos of Rome, Venice, Marseille and Monaco. I’m not sure why we are even going. I’ve already seen everything I want to see. Plus, I’m taking her to Olive Garden tonight. Are women ever satisfied?

I’m happy to be going almost anywhere, even if I was there once before. That’s because I don’t remember places, so everything is new and fresh to me. If you set my wife down in the center of Prague, or Budapest or Vienna, she’d know exactly where she was, clear memories from a previous trip. I can do that also, sort of: Shelbyville, Kokomo, Carmel, not a problem. Greensburg has that tree thing going on atop of the courthouse, right? Or is that Greeenfield? Whatever.

The truth is I don’t have a clear memory of most things in my life. My brother recently asked me if I remembered exactly how many years he and I had to share a bedroom when we were growing up. That room sharing thing did not sound familiar. I’m even a little hazy on the growing up part.

Sometimes I try to pretend I remember stuff, but she’s too smart for me and gives me little pop quizzes.

“What do you remember about Rome, Dick?”

“Oh, the churches, lots of churches. Love those

churches.”

“Can you name one church you remember seeing?”

“Of course. There was Saint, Saint… you know how bad I am with last names.”

“Do you remember going to the Coliseum?”

Now I’m really worried. No way had I forgotten seeing a football game.

While she was researching restaurants in one country we’re going to visit, I interrupted to ask her what we were having for dinner later in the evening. “I don’t have a clue, Dick, but on September 24, I’m having the salade aux lardons and the daube provencal.” She told me I could have the pissaladière, which I’m hoping is pizza.

Later in the afternoon, I learned that we were going to spend one entire morning looking at Roman ruins.

“I’m really good at making these kinds of plans, aren’t I, Dick?” asked Mary Ellen.

“Oh yes. If anyone can ruin an entire day, you can.”

At one point, I suggested we should make the trip a little more unplanned.

“Look, Mary Ellen, I don’t want to be a grump about this, but I like spontaneity. I need to know there will be a least one surprise in this vacation.”

“Oh, you won’t be disappointed. I have something right here that will shock you and you will not forget it for a long time.”

That’s when she handed me the bill.

READERS’ VIEWS

Flossie remembered

Editor, I just had the pleasure of reading [Donna Monday’s] “As I remember: Flossie’s sign” article in the Zionsville Current as tears were streaming down my face. What a lovely memory of my adored grandmother whom I still miss immensely. I have so many fond memories of growing up in Zionsville with her loving guidance. She and I always decorated that stop sign together and I thought that EVERYONE did that to their stop signs! I remember [Donna] and my grandmother was very fond of [her]. Now that both my grand-

mother and mother have died I miss remembering the small quaint town. It has changed so much in the last 60 years that sometimes I don’t recognize it as the town that I so dearly love.

Thank you for “sharing” those small town memories of my grandmother with me. She is looking down on us and smiling!

Fondly, Lisa Lawson (the daughter of “Betsy” Pedersen Lawson and granddaughter of Flossie), 46077

Thank you, Donna

Editor, Thank you for running a great article on Flossie. My sibs and I grew up on the NW corner across from Flossie, who was a third grandmother to us. (We moved there in 1946.) We loved her and still talk about our experiences with her.

I miss her so much. The article was such a great reminder and I can remember well the

morning glories and the decorations. Actually, she started planting morning glories way back when stop signs were yellow and black. That is how far down the road we go with her.

Thanks again, I really enjoyed that trip down Memory Lane.

HART finding traction with ‘Shakespeare in the Park’

By Jay Harvey • editorial@youarecurrent.com

The Bard himself recognized that an audience’s active imagination is needed to make his plays work. Some of his plays theatre have prologues or epilogues to solicit their help.

The director of “The Tempest” this summer at White River State Park believes the magic that threads its crucial way through the last play William Shakespeare wrote alone doesn’t have to fool audiences in order to enchant them.

For its sixth annual “Shakespeare in the Park” production, Heartland Actors Repertory Theatre has brought in Courtney Sale, associate artistic director at Indiana Repertory Theatre, to direct the show.

“I lean toward visual storytelling,” Sale said.

“And we’ll keep this simple and straightforward.

That’s my contract with the audience – it’s not about smoke and mirrors.”

That means “we will show some of the strings,” director Sale promised in a recent interview, using an analogy from the art of puppetry. With the aid of movement and the highly detailed use of music, “The Tempest” will engage imaginations at the outdoor venue in three free performances, beginning July 31.

It takes place in a more firmly settled atmosphere than the Repertory Theatre has enjoyed in its short history.

“We’re trying to be more solid as a company,” said artistic director Diane Timmerman, and move beyond “not knowing if we have funding from year to year.”

The Heartland Actors Repertory Theatre has major support from the Christel DeHaan Family Foundation, the Lilly Endowment and the Indianapolis Foundation. And Timmerman sees corporate support as the next step.

The actor-founded company, mostly professionals in Actors Equity, has a new partnership with Butler University, where Timmerman chairs the theater department. That gives it the services of student interns and an outdoor rehearsal space, among other benefits.

Sale, a newcomer to Indianapolis who lives in the Chatham-Arch neighborhood with her husband and their 9-year-old son, brings to the assignment a background in new plays and devised work (presentations created collectively without pre-existing scripts).

Shakespeare’s fantasy of a deposed duke named Prospero who rules a remote island and uses magical powers to bring about personal justice may well be the perfect vehicle for the kind of theatre she favors. The Duplicates, the company she worked with during graduate study at the University of Texas, always did outdoor

performances.

“It’s work on a scale I’m comfortable with,” she said, noting that a reverent approach to Shakespeare is not for her. “I told the cast, ‘We can make something new together.’”

The Heartland Actors Repertory Theatre production’s opening scene, for instance, which gives the play its title, will represent the storm without using any of Shakespeare’s words.

That’s among the bolder cuts Sale has made along the way to keeping “The Tempest,” already among Shakespeare’s shortest plays, within Repertory Theatre’s desired two-hour limit.

“The blank canvas” that she needs to fill with Shakespeare’s material has room for lots of funny stuff. That’s concentrated in a couple of the shipwrecked characters who enlist the island’s primitive inhabitant, Caliban, to take over the island.

“I’m shameless with comedy,” Sale said.

She also finds enthralling the intense but innocent young love of Miranda, Prospero’s daughter, and the shipwrecked prince, Ferdinand.

“They are really young, and they are the hope for the future,” Sale said.

Then there’s the problematic character of Prospero.

“I’m fascinated by his difficult nature,” Sale said. “There’s revenge, rage and schemes in Prospero – it’s nice to have that represented. I don’t use a scholarly or cerebral approach to him; I’m making it relational.”

In 2011, Sale first saw the actor she’s selected to play Prospero in a one-man show at IRT about the legendary James Beard. That helped pave the way for her to relocate here. Robert Neal starred

in “I Love to Eat,” by IRT playwright-in-residence James Still, whom Sale had met when he visited Austin to see a Duplicates production.

“I was enchanted by the play and Robert’s performance. And the post-show discussion was great – it just surprised me.”

Sale, who directed “And Then They Came for Me: Remembering the World of Anne Frank” and “The Mountaintop” for IRT this past season, seems to be a connoisseur of happy surprises. She describes Indianapolis as “my Easter-egg hunt.”

“I am totally in love with Indianapolis; it snuck up on me,” she said.

She’ll reach her one-year anniversary at IRT in August, as she and her husband continue to make a long-distance, two-income marriage work: Sean Manning is director of visitor services at the National September 11 Memorial & Museum in New York City – a job whose challenges hardly need description here.

The Indianapolis theatre scene in particular wins Sale’s endorsement.

“We have an incredible pool of artists and work happening here. I keep being enchanted and surprised,” she said. “There’s so much goodwill too. That doesn’t happen in a lot of other cities.”

2014-2015

Review by Julie Kennedy The Scoop is Zionsville’s brand new ice cream and coffee shop on South Main Street. This beautifully-refurbished 19th-century house has great indoor seating, a wrap-around front porch covered with rocking chairs and wicker furniture and a cozy back patio.

With nearly 30 unique flavors to choose from, The Scoop serves ice cream from the Valpo Velvet Ice Cream Company in Valparaiso, Ind. Employees of The Scoop seemed happy and eager to help customers as they strolled into the shop and willing to answer any questions about the new business.

On The Scoop’s website, owner Elizabeth Demaree states that The Scoop is not like any other ice cream shop because it “is a gathering place where everyone is welcome.” It certainly feels that way inside.

The shop is open from noon to 10 p.m. daily, but will open earlier once the coffee menu is up and running, as Demaree says she wants to start catering to the breakfast and coffee crowd.

Overall, The Scoop’s environment is friendly, cheerful and relaxing and serves up a delicious

How to pay for your care Commentary by Wesley A. Young If you are concerned about the high costs associated with long term care now or in the future, nursing home and veterans benefits are available to help cover some or all of the costs of in home care, assisted living or a nursing home.

Benefit programs are not just for the poor any more. All taxpaying citizens who meet the eligibility requirements are entitled to receive benefits. With the cost of a nursing facility regularly reaching $85,000 per year, very few Hoosiers can afford to pay for care out of pocket.

Veterans benefits Myth: Veteran’s benefits can take up to two years to be approved.

Reality: A well-crafted, thoroughly completed and handdelivered application can regularly be approved in three weeks to three months.

Most veterans who served during war time and their current or surviving spouses can become eligible for benefits which can pay for in home care, assisted living or nursing home. The tax free monthly maximum benefits are: $1,130 for surviving spouse of a veteran; $1,759 for veterans; and $2,085 for veteran and spouse.

Medicaid nursing home benefits Myth: Medicaid can take my house, my car, my money and all of my possessions.

Reality: There are several rules that allow for the protection of the majority of a person’s assets. Don’t be misled by misinformation and myths.

Medicaid can pay for the entire monthly cost of a nursing home facility, doctor co-pays, medications, dental, vision and other expenses less a portion of the applicant’s fixed monthly income. There are well over a hundred facilities in central Indiana and most of them accept Medicaid.

Under current federal law, private pay and Medicaid residents must receive the same level of care and services.

Whenever you are working with a government agency, you can count on a maze of forms and procedures to gain eligibility. You should only work with a company that specializes in this area of planning and has relationships with local facilities and their staff.

Amenities key for assisted living Commentary by Ruthann Graham The most recognized trend in assisted living today is “85 is the new 70.” People are waiting longer to move into assisted living. When they decide to make the move, they are looking for a long list of amenities that not only duplicate what they had at home, but additional ones as well.

The assisted living resident is becoming more vocal in what they are looking for in their new home. They want high quality food preparation and presentation so that they feel comfortable inviting their friends and family over to join them for a meal. They are looking for amenities that can provide their grandchildren a place to go and play when visiting their grandparents. They are looking for new and exciting activity programming that includes technology learning, exercise programs, and lectures and cultural events that stimulate their body and brain. The trend of the new resident moving to assisted living is “use it or lose it.” And, the communities are having to ramp up their activity programming to accommodate the new awareness of health that is extremely important to the resident.

And, of course, they want transportation that can take them shopping, to appointments and to do personal errands. However, a very welcomed and convenient trend is the communities are now bringing the medical provider to the resident so that the resident doesn’t have to leave the community for doctor appointments and Physical Therapy appointments.

Perhaps the biggest trend in assisted living is making sure that when existing assisted livings are renovating or new assisted livings are being built that they include a memory care area or wing to accommodate the ever increasing cognitive disabilities such as dementia or Alzheimer’s disease.

The new memory care areas are being built to offer increased sunlight, outdoor spaces, simple and easy to maneuver floor plans that offer ease of mobility for the residents and activities that keep the resident happy and engaged.

Z’Sparkle back for fifth year

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@yoaurecurrent.com

Men in heels prancing down Main Street – that is Z’Sparkle Party Drag Race to End Alzheimer’s.

Deemed a lighthearted and fun event designed to bring people together to raise awareness about a devastating disease while raising money to support the Alzheimer’s Association, this year’s Z’Sparkle in Zionsville is at 7 p.m., Aug. 8, on Main Street.

“I think, obviously [Alzheimer’s] touches me very personally, and I think it does that for a lot of people,” said founder Amy Lacy. “It’s the sixth leading cause of death in America.”

Lacy’s mother died from complications with Alzheimer’s, and thus for five years Lacy has been doing everything in her power to help researchers find the cause and a cure. Since 2010 her group of friends and community sponsors with Z’Sparkle have raised more than $100,000 for the Alzheimer’s Association of Greater Indiana.

“When we hit that mark we felt like our crazy little event had really made a difference in the fight against this horrible disease, but we want to do more, so we’re back for our fifth anniversary.”

Lacy said that “dragstars,” men dressed as women, and “dudettes,” women dressed as men will parade down Main Street and “work the crowd” to get donations. Community members such as Bob Goodman, Ray Cortopassi, and Zionsville town councilman Tom Schuler are ex-

pected to dress in drag.

Goodman has even grown out his hair for the event, and afterwards will cut it for a donation to Locks of Love.

“It’s pillars of the community that are participating in this,” Lacy said. “It’s not an unwholesome event, because it really is just regular guys getting out of their comfort zone to do something great … Cross-dressing does not have to be associated with any kind of sexuality. It is just for fun.”

Lacy noted that even Doug Gauthier, Zionsville Police Dept. Capt., dressed up as a woman last year, and even made his own dress out of duct tape.

“He let people sign his dress for a donation,” she said.

In addition to the parade down Main, there will be a DJ and a special VIP tent in the town lot on Pine Street. The tent, sponsored by Zionsville Meadows, will provide an opportunity for guests to sample foods and spirits while meeting and mingling with the “dragstars” and “dudettes.”

The cost of food is included in the ticket price.

A microbrewery beer van, wines and the signature drink “Sparkle-tinis” will be provided by Cobblestone Grill at a cash bar.

Tickets are available online at www.zsparkledragrace.com, at Akard’s True Value Hardware or at the door. They cost $12 online or $10 at Akard’s.

First Merchants, Community Bank to merge news@currentzionsville.com Muncie-based First Merchants Corporation has agreed to acquire Noblesville-based Community Bancshares, Inc. and Community Bank will merge into First Merchants Bank. Officials said the agreement is worth approximately $46.3 million.

The merger is expected to close in the first quarter of 2015 after shareholder and regulatory approvals.

“Like First Merchants, Community Bank has a deep-rooted commitment to community banking and we are excited for it to become the newest member of the First Merchants family. The addition of Community Bank supports our goal of becoming a more efficient, higher performing company,” First Merchants CEO Michael C. Rechin stated. “From Community Bank’s beginning in 1991, Chuck Crow and his management team have played a pivotal role serving Hamilton and Madison County commercial and consumer clients.”

First Merchants has nearly 100 banking offices around the state, primarily in central Indiana. The Community Bank franchise will add seven locations including six banking centers in Hamilton County.

Community CEO Charles L. Crow, president Larry W. Riggs and executive vice president Russell W. Freed will join the First Merchants management team as part of the merger.

“We are excited about the opportunity to become part of the First Merchants family, and believe this partnership will be good for our clients, shareholders, staff and communities,” Crow stated. “The core values of both companies share a commitment to local decision making, personal service, long-term relationships and community involvement.”

Based upon current financials, First Merchants and Community Bancshares will have combined assets of $5.7 billion and will remain the second largest financial holding company headquartered in Indiana.

Homes selling faster than in ‘13 Commentary by Jim Litten With average home prices reaching $173,393 in June 2014, home sales prices are up 7.4 percent compared to June 2013.

Seven of the nine counties that F.C. Tucker real estate tracks experienced slightly higher home sales prices in the first six months of 2014 compared to the same time period last year. Boone County was among the areas reporting gains – up 10 percent to $282,310 from $256,628.

• The average sale price in Zionsville experienced an increase. For the first six months of this year, the average price rose 11.3 percent to $385,247 from $346,198.

• In Zionsville, pended home sales have declined. Last month, 37 homes pended, a decrease of 27 homes compared to June 2013.

• Homes in Zionsville are selling faster. Last month, homes spent an average of 78 days on the market – 10 fewer days compared to June 2013.

• In Zionsville, inventory is tightening. In June 2014, 204 homes were available for sale, while 232 homes were available in June 2013.

When comparing this year’s sales numbers to last year’s, it’s important to consider that 2013 was the fourth best year in Indianapolis real estate history. In 2013, we were still recovering from the previous cycle of the housing downturn, so last year’s spike in sales was tremendous. I believe we’re likely approaching a ‘new normal’ where sales growth will be less dramatic moving forward.

Marrakesh: Cobras on the square Commentary by Don Knebel When Marrakesh (or Marrakech) was a stop along the international “hippie trail,” Crosby, Stills and Young sang fondly of “blowing travel smoke rings” and “charming cobras on the square.” Today, smoke rings are harder to find in Morocco’s third-largest city, but cobras still entertain visitors on the celebrated square.

The Almoravids founded Marrakesh at the foot of the Atlas Mountains in 1062 as the capital of an Islamic empire comprising southern Spain and northwest Africa. The Almohads, practicing a severe form of Islam, conquered Marrakesh in 1147, killing thousands of its citizens and destroying many of its buildings. The Almohads built the Koutubia mosque over the ruins, its 253-foothigh minaret now a Marrakesh landmark. Marrakesh declined under the Almohads, but entered a period of renewal in the 16th century under the Saadi dynasty, which built the magnificent El Badi Palace to mimic the Alhambra in Granada, Spain. The beautiful Saadian tombs, rediscovered in 1917, contain graves of Jewish members of the palace staff mingled with those of the Muslim royal family. In the late 19th century, Marrakesh’s Grand Vizier built the Bahia Palace for his four wives and 24 concubines in the mudejar style of Moorish Spain and Morocco.

In the 1960s and ‘70s, Marrakesh’s hashish and hostels attracted members of the counterculture

seeking a cheap kasbah high. Its aura of authentic oriental mysticism drew the likes of the Rolling Stones, the Beatles and Yves St. Laurent, whose ashes were spread around the restored Marjorelle Garden that he purchased in 1980.

Hashish is now illegal in Marrakesh and deluxe hotels and casinos have replaced the flophouses of the hippie era. Visitors come from around the world to see the Koutubia mosque, the Saadian tombs, the Bahia Palace and Jemaa el-Fnaa, the most famous square in Africa. Reportedly once the site of public beheadings, the square is filled

Chance vs. opportunity

ISN’T IT TIME YOU EXPERIENCED THE LUXURY OF A RIVER CRUISE?

Commentary by Jordan Fischer Question: “Dear Grammar Guy, I would like to take this ‘chance’ to ask you about the use of ‘chance & opportunity’.

I see this as a real ‘opportunity’ humor to clear up the proper time to use each word.

Thank you for the ‘chance’ to write you. I can’t wait for the ‘opportunity’ to read your reply.” – (David Stratton) Answer: This is a tricky one, David. We’ll see why in a moment.

Consider this example: Every child born in the United States has a chance of becoming president.

Few of us, however, will have the opportunity.

In many circumstances, “chance” and “opportunity” are interchangeable. Merriam-Webster lists a primary definition for both of them as “an amount of time or a situation in which something can be done.”

Fortunately, our friends at the dictionary also offer a few more elucidative definitions for each.

“Chance,” they say, is “the way that events happen when they are not planned or controlled by people” – or, more simply put, “the possibility

that something will happen.” An “opportunity” according to Merriam-Webster, is “a favorable juncture of circumstances” or “a good chance for advancement or progress.” That last definition – “a good chance” – is the key here.

A “chance” is broad and undirected, like, for example, a job listing in a newspaper. Anyone can see the listing. Anyone can apply. An “opportunity” is specific and, importantly, positive.

Continuing with our job listing, the “opportunity” is when they call you to offer you a trial run at the position.

“Opportunity” comes from “opportune,” meaning “suitable or convenient for a particular occurrence.” The “particular occurrence” part of that is your takeaway this week. A “chance” is a nebulous possibility that something might or might not happen. An “opportunity” is a good possibility of some particular, positive thing happening or being made to happen.

French salad with a spin

A salad nicoise is a mixture of fresh cooked and raw vegetables. It is of French origin from the region of Niza. Julia Child introduced this salad to the United States. This delicious and healthy recipe can be presented as a main dish. You can use a variety of vegetables – tiny carrots, baby zucchini, peppers, artichokes. No matter what ingredients you use, they should be prepared separately, then arranged nicely on a bed of lettuce.

SALAD NICOISE Serves: 4 Ingredients: 1 pound crisp green beans, trimmed, 6 Yukon medium potatoes, 6 tablespoons olive oil, 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, 12 to 16 Boston lettuce, washed, and dried, 4 ripe tomatoes, quartered or ripe cherry tomatoes, 6 hard-cooked eggs, peeled, quartered 1 (8 ounce) can oil-packed chunk white tuna, drained, fresh lemon juice, 1 (2 ounce) can anchovy filets, 1/2 cup kalamata black olives, packed in olive oil, 2 tablespoons capers Dressing: 1/4 cup olive oil, 6 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 heaping teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, 1 tablespoon finely minced shallots, 1/2 teaspoon fresh chopped herbs (tarragon, thyme, chervil, or parsley)

Directions: Steam beans until just done, 3 or 4 minutes (al dente). Rinse under cold water and set aside. Boil potatoes in their skins until done.

As soon as you can handle them, cut into halves.

Mix together the olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper in a bowl. Toss the potatoes, green beans and tomatoes and turn to coat well. Arrange the lettuce leaves on individual plates or a platter.

Alternate the dressed beans, tomatoes, and potatoes and add the hard-cooked eggs. Top with the tuna, flake gently, and season with lemon juice and pepper. Drape the anchovies across the vegetables, and a sprinkling of capers. Scatter olives over the top.Whisk together all dressing ingredients, and drizzle over salad.

Creative interpretation of an outdoor fireplace Commentary by Randy Sorrell This incredible outdoor creation was driven by the brilliant homeowners’ vision for something unique, elegant, very livable Outdoors and full of shade opportunities. A place where family and friends can connect is the result is art, steel and fire merged.

Her sense of style guided our design – and, we may have borrowed a few design features from another structure built earlier this year. She witnessed the drama of oversized lumber married with the tapered columns and immediately recognized the value. We consider this a modern interpretation of craftsman style (whatever that means).

Shade/privacy Again, shade was a major driver as well as creating a formal outdoor room sensation. The drapes contribute in a lively fashion for each and watching them catch the breeze and provide movement is an added bonus. Immediate intimacy is created when they are partially closed.

Brightly colored pots filled with fragrant annuals and a palm jazz up the space.

Fire Notice the rusted steel panel suspended between the columns towards the back of the space. That piece of custom art serves as a fireplace “chimney” to the rectangular steel basin below which behaves as the remaining fireplace.

GET FIT NOBLESVILLE!

This incredibly custom piece is absolutely a focal point to the space and is an original, although I have not been asked to sign it. Space, budget and design often don’t allow for a formal fireplace and this was our creative interpretation.

I’m imagining there will be more to follow.

Incredible outdoor living spaces continue to dominate everyday conversations. Families

gather. Friends convene. Problems are solved and smiles are discovered.

Luxury vinyl can mimic realistic textures Commentary by David Decker While most people wouldn’t think vinyl to be a very contemporary flooring choice, there have been many innovations in vinyl indoors over the last few years. Today’s luxury vinyl tile (or LVT) products have been specially developed to mimic the look of natural materials and textures, which can bring a new degree of beauty into your home. While LVT has been gaining popularity among builders, the majority of homeowners remain unaware of the innovations and benefits of LVT flooring. Let’s quickly take a crash course in LVT 101.

Aesthetics Luxury vinyl can mimic realistic textures such as distressed wood finishes, stone, slate and even woven textiles into virtually any space. The wide array of designs comes from the way it’s manufactured. LVT is created when layers of different synthetic materials are bonded together and overlaid with an image. The appearance of the design is actually printing using a giant press, and then protected with a clear coating that’s applied on top. LVT prints are pretty amazing because they can perfectly render various natural materials such as stone or hardwood almost identically. It’s no secret that natural materials can often be very expensive to install and maintain.

offers you an alternative way to capture the look of natural materials and bring them into spaces that may not have accommodated the real-life versions. The only consideration to take into account is that LVT must be used on flat, level surfaces. This means it cannot be used on stairways or other inclines.

ally, LVT floors are inherently water resistant. All that’s required to clean LVT is simple, damp mopping. And because it’s made from sustainable materials that can be recycled, vinyl is a green building material.

Safety Manufacturers of LVT have paid careful attention to creating a product that’s safe to use in commercial and residential spaces. Vinyl meets flammability codes and is slip resistant in case of spillage. And because it’s made of multiple, resilient layers, LVT planks are generally more comfortable to stand on for long periods of time.

As an added benefit, they tend to be warmer underfoot than ceramic tile or stone.

Cost Luxury Vinyl tiles are quite cost efficient, when compared to their natural counterpart. And given their durability properties, LVT flooring can last for years to come if properly cleaned and maintained.

The next time you experience a health emergency, think fast. And choose St.Vincent Carmel for care that’s been repeatedly recognized as one of the best in the nation.
