Hoosier Village opens Community Center and Hickory Hall

By Julie Osborne • julie@youarecurrent.com Hoosier Village, Zionsville’s 300-acre retirement center, has expanded into a state-of-the-art community that will appeal to the lifestyle of the aging baby boomer generation. Last week marked a significant milestone in its $32 million expansion with the opening of a community center and Hickory Hall, a memory support center.

The new community center includes a 30-by-57 foot indoor pool, a fully equipped fitness center, a spa for massages, an art studio, classroom space and multiple exercise rooms for classes such as ballroom dance. Hickory Hall is licensed for residential care and implements design and program concepts from the most current research on Alzheimer’s disease and other memory support. It offers 36 private accommodations and a residential environment with a variety of common living spaces.

“Completion of the Community Center signals not only a key milestone for the construction project, but a symbol of today’s senior, who wants to stay active,” said Sally Keenan, executive director of Hoosier Village. “Today’s seniors are planners, and they want to continue to make their own decisions. Many like the peace of mind that comes from knowing a change in their life situations won’t require a major move.”

Hoosier Village’s expansion is part of a growing trend. As a Continuing Care Retirement Community, it provides facilities and services to meet the needs of current and future residents, from those with an active lifestyle to those requiring additional care.

“Aging isn’t always about healthcare,” Keenan said. “Seniors are

Zionsville students help with project – Zionsville’s Emily Denne, Kaitlin Koenig and Kelly McKnight of Zionsville participated in the University of Evansville’s Freshman Service Project on Monday, Aug. 20. The community service project sent students to 20 locations throughout Evansville, including parks, community centers and other nonprofit organizations to perform tasks ranging from painting to landscaping.

“The goal of the Freshman Service Project is to help new students get acquainted with the community they’ll call home during their college years,” said Geoff Edwards, director of UE’s Center for Student Engagement and coordinator of the Freshman Service Project. “Last year, UE students contributed more than 19,000 hours of community service, and we hope the Freshman Service Project inspires many students to continue serving the Evansville community.”

Residents and their visitors also receive half-price greens fees at the nearby Golf Club of Indiana.

Now that Phase I is complete, Phase II work has begun on Hawthorn Hall, with an opening expected in April 2013.

Along with replacing an existing residential building, Hawthorn Hall will feature multiple venues for dining and 100 upscale apartments.

“As our community ages, the amenities (at Hoosier Village) allow residents to stay in surroundings they’re familiar with,” said Town Manager Ed Mitro. “Zionsville is fortunate to have Hoosier Village.”

New display for ZCHS Art Department – Jon Dehner, ZCHS art teacher, was awarded a grant from the Zionsville Education Foundation and the Stephen Colbert Foundation to purchase a television to digitally display student art work.

Plain Talk / Fundraiser

Taking a tour in a Model A Ford Everyone needs a friend who owns a Model A Ford. And it helps if he likes you and is generous.

My friend is all of the above, and last week after church he offered to take my wife and me on a tour of the town. We jumped at the chance. After all, this was a car I spent many a dreamy Saturday working on in my neighbor’s back yard when I was a kid.

My friend’s A is a late 1928 model, which means it has a few of the model changes planned for the 1929 version. Henry Ford had a habit of doing that, and it used to rankle those who bought earlier in the year.

The price of a Model A ranged from $385 for the Roadster to a whopping $1,400 for the luxurious Towncar. My friend’s car is a Roadster, perfectly restored to showroom condition. The only things he has added are seat belts and turn signals, making it street legal.

Model As had simple four-cylinder engines that propelled you along at speeds between

40-65 mph. They used regular leaded gasoline, which is no longer available, so my friend has to add a lead additive when he fills the tank.

One of the more charming things about the Model A is the horn. Today’s car horns are a carefully tuned two-tone blast. “Honk-honk.”

The Model A warned pedestrians out of the way with a resonating “Oogah-oogah!”

It was in the 70s and sunny. We climbed into the rumble seat in the back of the car and off we went. During our brief tour we got so many smiles, thumbs-up and wide-eyed wows, I lost count. The Model A was a stellar machine in 1928, and it still is today.

So, the next time you see some guy driving a Model A Ford, invite him to dinner. It could pay big dividends.

A body divided

Commentary by Don Knebel

Venice, encompassing 188 islands strung together by about 400 bridges, is perhaps the most unusual city in the world, with canals serving as roads, boats serving as buses, and gondoliers serving as aphrodisiacs. From catching the water taxi docked at the airport to buying gelato from a street vendor to watching glass blowers create pieces of art in nearby Murano, nearly everything about the Venetian experience is unique. More than 20 million visitors a year crowd colorful St. Mark’s Square, where they mingle with jugglers, dancers, musicians, live statues and pigeons. Unknown to most of those visitors, for more than a thousand years Venetians have shared with Egypt their most prized possession -- the bodily remains lying in the magnificent Basilica of St. Mark.

In the early part of the ninth century, Venice lacked a suitable Christian relic commensurate with its growing power. So, in 832 A.D., Venetian merchants crossed the Mediterranean to Alexandria and stole the body claimed to be that of St. Mark. The remains were smuggled out of Egypt in a barrel of pork so the Muslim rulers of Alexandria would not inspect it.

Egyptian (“Coptic�) Christians have long accepted the idea that the body of St. Mark now lies in Venice, but insist that the thieves somehow left his head behind, where it remains preserved in St. Mark’s Coptic Orthodox Church

in Alexandria. In 1968, Pope Paul VI, considered the successor of St. Peter by Roman Catholics, delivered to Pope Cyril VI, considered the successor of St. Mark by Coptic Christians, a bone fragment from Venice to rejoin the head in Alexandria. In such small steps does interfaith understanding and reconciliation begin.

Cover Story

Zionsville man traces his roots on Norwegian reality show

By Derek Fisher • derek@youarecurrent.com Learning about ourselves and tracing the steps that brought us to where we are can be a local task. We can search our library’s genealogy department, we can Google things on our computers or simply ask questions of older relatives.

Todd Ferris followed a very different path to learn about his roots. He landed a spot on a reality television show. In Norway.

Ferris, a Zionsville resident and great-great grandson of a Norwegian immigrant, is set to appear on the third season of Norway’s extremely popular Alt for Norge program, which features 12 Americans of Nordic descent vying in an array of challenges.

The winner’s prize? $50,000 and a once-in-alifetime meeting with the Norwegian fork of his family tree.

For Ferris, the idea started as a lark and ended up as something of a life-altering event.

“Two years ago, my aunt was at a Sons of Norway meeting and heard that the show was looking for people who’d never been to Norway before,” Ferris said. “It looked like an adventurous thing to do, so I sent in an audition tape – it was pretty cheesy.”

Ferris explained that he’d been so used to the American concept of reality television – strong personalities, conflict, etc. – that he assumed Alt for Norge would want more of the same.

Dressed as a news anchor and being as outlandish as possible in his submission, Ferris had unknowingly missed the program’s breadbasket entirely.

“They told us on day one that it was a family show and they didn’t want fighting or cliques formed,” he said, “and they took steps to make sure that those things wouldn’t happen. That was the biggest difference.”

A year after receiving his rejection letter – “They did tell me they enjoyed my video,” Ferris said – he got a second chance. Asked politely to tone it down the second time around, Ferris simply talked about himself and his family in his second try. A short time later, he was through a 40-person second round in Chicago and off to Norway.

Ferris’ season, which began shooting in April, is long-completed and the premiere episode is set to air tomorrow, but he contractually cannot give details of what transpired until they happen on the show.

ers along the way, with the underlying theme being learning more about one’s history and oneself.

Few yet know how much Ferris got to absorb in his native homeland and for how long, but suffice it to say he came back a changed person.

“Growing up, my mom always stressed Norwegian traditions,” he said. “We’d say a Norwegian prayer before formal dinners and she made a Norwegian cake for my wedding. I never really appreciated them until I came back – there’s a whole new appreciation for things I’ve been missing out on.”

When Ferris did come back, he returned to two three-and-a-half year old girls and a pregnant wife. He said the time apart was tough, but a strategy had been put in place before he left.

“My wife was a trouper,” said Ferris. “She handled it well and we took steps to prepare. I wrote a letter for every day for the kids to read, and for her as well. They kept a journal at home, and I kept a journal of what I did over there.

They handled it as well as they could have.”

Does Ferris have any tips on what to look for as season three unfolds?

“We’ll see how it plays out,” he said. www.currentzionsville.com

Opinion We celebrate good news, too

Neil Armstrong It is our position that with the passing of Neil Armstrong we have lost a true American hero. The Purdue graduate and first man to walk on the moon passed away on Aug. 25 due to complications from a cardiovascular procedure.

Neil Armstrong’s famous walk on the moon both captivated and inspired a nation. As the world sat glued to its television screens, Armstrong firmly placed himself into history as one of the greatest explorers as he stepped down that ladder and said his famous line. It helped us realize that, with a little teamwork and perseverance, anything is possible.

Even after his last flight on Apollo 11, Armstrong stayed true to his values and did not let his fame become a distraction. He held on to his Indiana roots by staying connected to his alma mater, Purdue University.

The fearlessness that Armstrong showed during his Apollo 11 flight and throughout his career as a U.S. Navy pilot and test pilot is a model character for generations to come. For someone who could have had the nation in his palm, he stayed humble and committed to his passion.

Dog day afternoon

Commentary by Terry Anker

Humans have domesticated and kept animals since the earliest times. Then, even as now, we shared our food and domestic arrangements with these furry friends. And they, like us, flourished because of the construct.

Today, cats, dogs and just about every other sort of manageable beast from boa to potbelly can be found alongside Homo sapiens. To be sure, we benefit from the relationship. In fact, many people-serving institutions, from retirement homes, centers for the disabled and even prisons, include pet “therapy” in their work.

Studies show that interaction with animals can bring profound change in the demeanor and, in some cases, the actual intellectual and physical capacity of a person. And dogs have been assisting the blind and those afflicted with seizures for generations. Likewise, many police departments rely heavily on the contribution of their canine counterparts. So what is it that our loyal companions hope to find from us in return?

Sure, it is good to be in the company of the king of the food chain. Our pets, in the best cases, are well-treated members of the family.

They can expect to live long lives secure from the threats that their wild cousins must endure. One is reminded of the great scene from the Disney classic “Lady & the Tramp,” wherein Tramp tries to convince Lady that the undomesticated life is best. Perhaps it is a thinly veil comment at when any of us choose marriage over the single life, but it also gets at the point that the sacrifice of domestication is well compensated.

Yet likewise, alongside many of us, our animals endure the worst of the human condition. Some are beaten. Some are eaten. Yet they stay close as if somehow knowing, even if we humans forget, we are all better and safer for being together.

Marshmallow fluff and double-dipping Editor, I have analyzed the Storm Water budget and there are numerous one-time expenditures totaling $290,000 that are included in the total expenditures from 2009-2013. Using the cumulative five-year expenditure, divided by five years, a $646,000 yearly budget is derived. This is the figure upon which the Zionsville Town Council has based the proposed annual Storm Water Tax/Fee of $3.86 per month, per unit.

If you take the $290,000 figure and divide it by five years, it results in an average of about $60,000 per year that should not be included in the 2013 Storm Water budget.

If the town council decides at Tuesday’s meeting to approve this tax/fee, the 2013 Storm Water budget upon which the rate is determined should be reduced by this amount, resulting in a figure of $586,000. The resulting tax or fee rate

should not be based on the inflated $646,000.

The annual average of $60,000 built into the current budget is nothing more than marshmallow fluff.

Are we being double-dipped? If these budget line items are currently included in the Town’s annual budget, and the services are already provided to the tune of an average of $646,000 per year over the past four years, and it is currently funded by property taxes, why is the town council proposing creation of a new utility that henceforth would be funded by a new fee? Is this some sort of scam? Or, perhaps it’s fraud on the part of the town leaders to raise an additional $650,000 per year in tax revenue? Why? Perhaps it’s to pay the penalty of consolidation and install sewers in Union Township to benefit developers?

Big Red was preceded in death by Volkswagen Jetta, Toyota “Rav Rav” Rav 4, Ford Taurus and Chrysler Pacifica. Though she never married or had little mini-vans of her own, Big Red was cherished by many. She is survived by her grieving parents, Danielle and Doo; her faithful riders, Geoffrey, Andrew, Corinne and Madelaine Wilson; two nondescript siblings, Dodge “Dad’s Car” Caravan and Honda “No Nickname Yet” Accord; and a horde of saddened passengers, young and old alike.

There will be no visitation. A private cremation service will be held at the end of September. The family would like to express their deepest appreciation to President Barack Obama and his timely Cash for Clunkers Program. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to your local Tire Barn.

Fair parting, Big Red! May you find peace (and a hubcap) as you drive along that heavenly highway to Scrapville. You are already deeply missed. And though you have been replaced by a silvery younger model with a black interior, you will never be forgotten. So true. Peace out.

I came across this obituary while cleaning out the storage room: Dodge “Big Red” Caravan, 11, of Carmel, returned to her maker Aug. 22 after a long and difficult battle with a slipped transmission.

Humor

In pursuit of watermelon Commentary by Mike Redmond I’ve gathered you here today to discuss an item of grave importance, something that has been on the minds of many during these troubled times; an issue so great that it may indeed have a direct bearing on life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness: How to pick a ripe watermelon.

Ok, life and liberty probably aren’t at stake here, although you could make an argument that a really good watermelon is included in the pursuit of happiness.

I get asked about this all the time. I don’t know why. I guess there’s something about me that says, “Here’s a man who knows his watermelons.” Probably because I look like I swallowed one.

I know three basic Watermelon Selection Protocols: The Thump, the Crack and the Spot Check.

My dad believed strongly in the Thump method. He would go through an entire bin of Charleston Grays, rapping them all with his knuckles until he found one that sounded just the right note – a slightly hollow B-flat. Which, coincidentally, was the same note sounded when he used the Thump Technique on my skull.

I have tried this method, but I have to thump my head first to get the right note, and after two

or three tries I have a headache and don’t want watermelon anymore.

My brother uses the Crack method. You lean on the watermelon and if it makes a quiet cracking sound, it’s ready. You have to be careful about this one. A loud cracking sound means you leaned too hard and you’re buying that melon whether you want it or not.

This leaves the Spot Check method. You turn the melon over and look for the spot where it sat on the ground. If it’s white, don’t buy it. If it’s yellow, do. If there is no spot, put down the eggplant and get your eyes tested.

I’ve decided to go with the “What The Heck” method. You pull one out of the bin and say “What the heck, maybe it’ll be ripe.” By my reckoning, you have just as good a chance this way as you do with thumping, cracking and checking, and as a bonus, it turns a watermelon into a Christmas present. You never really know what’s inside until you open it. It might be a wonderful surprise, or it might be socks and underwear. You take your chances. And if you hit the jackpot, a good watermelon is well worth the purfuit.

Zionsville Lions Club Fall Festival amps up with new ways to celebrate the season

“Trouble Man” by T.I. – In stores and available for download Tuesday, the eigth studio album from hip hop recording artist T.I. features the singles “Love This Life,” “Go Get It” and “Ball.”

By Christian Sorrell • christian@youarecurrent.com Two months ago amidst burn bans and firework display cancellations across the state, the Zionsville Lions Club and its president, Leigh Ann Akard, made a decision to cancel the AllAmerican July 4th Celebration at Lions Park.

The event is not only a yearly center for celebration in Zionsville, but is the Lions Club’s second-largest fundraiser of the year.

“It was public safety for us with the July 4th event,” said Akard. “If we have 15,000 people in the park, it would Akard have just taken one yahoo with a sparkler or even a cigarette to cause a bad situation.”

As a result of the cancellation, the Lions Club’s Fall Festival, the largest annual fundraiser for the organization, has been amped up to bring even more entertainment options to families, children and adults than it has in years past. This year, up to 25,000 people are expected to attend the festival.

“Losing the July 4th celebration was a huge hit for the Zionsville Lions Club this year,” said Akard. “We need to take our second-largest fundraiser and our largest fundraiser and combine them into an even larger fundraiser than ever before.”

Beginning Friday evening, the Fall Festival kicks off with the VIP Carnival, an annual event in which families are invited to bring www.currentzionsville.com

The Kiwanis CLub Fall Festival Parade begins Saturday morning at Zionsville HIgh School.

their special needs children out to the carnival and enjoy free rides, food and fun. The Zionsville Alpha Leo Club, a newly founded youth organization, will be acting as “designated riders,” roaming the carnival and riding attractions with those children who would like assistance.

Having grown over the last several years, the VIP Carnival is expected to attract 800 or more carnival-goers Friday evening.

“The VIP Carnival is an opportunity for a segment of the population to attend a festival that they wouldn’t be able to attend otherwise.

We have people coming from out of state, sometimes driving longer than the carnival itself lasts,” said Akard.

Saturday’s festivities begin at 10:30 a.m. with the Kiwanis Club Fall Festival Parade at Zionsville High School featuring Akard as the Grand Marshall, and continue throughout the day and evening until 11 p.m.

Something entirely new for the festival this year, the Lions Club is offering the Z’Luau Lounge starting at 5 p.m. on Saturday. The lounge will feature live music by the Reece Dickerson Band, food and adult beverages including a range of craft beer from Triton Brewing Co.

“If you don’t have kids or a craft, this is the place for you. We wanted to create more opportunities for everyone to have fun at this year’s festival,” said Akard.

The festival will not only feature a silent auction throughout the weekend but also a live auction Saturday at 8 p.m. in the lounge. Some of the most notable items currently up for auction include a “Pulp Fiction” film poster autographed by the cast, a Denver Broncos helmet autographed by Peyton Manning, a football autographed by Andrew Luck and a trip for four to Universal Studios including airfare and lodging.

“We’ve never had this much going on Saturday night at the park,” said Akard. “We are hoping to really give people a reason to come out and enjoy some of the entertainment that we’re providing.”

The Zionsville Lions Club Fall Festival is being held at Lions Park (115 S. Elm St., Zionsville) Friday through Sunday.

While admission is free, parking inside the park requires a $5 donation. For more information and the full schedule of events, visit zlionsevents.com.

‘A Chorus Line’ comes to the Tarkington

By Christian Sorrell • christian@youarecurrent.com The Civic Theatre’s 2012-2013 season kicks off this Friday with a true Broadway classic, “A Chorus Line.” Telling the story of a group of dancers auditioning for spots on a chorus line, it is clear to see why guest director Ron Morgan and producer Michael Lasley would have an interest in putting on the show.

“For a lot of us in my generation, this is one of the shows, if not the show, that made us Lasley want to do this,” said Lasley, gesturing around the theater.

“Although I feel like there are many new inspirations for young performers, I think that the show still carries all of the inspiration it always has,” said Morgan.

Morgan As a result of the size of the Tarkington’s stage, the Civic’s production of the show will actually be somewhat larger than the original Broadway performance. The main set consists of multiple 24-foot, three-sided periactoids that rotate, allowing the entire scene to be changed with the turn of a backstage crank.

With a black side, a mirrored side and a side saved for the show’s finale, the periactoids make for quite an impressive backdrop, almost double the size of a standard “Chorus Line” production.

Beyond theunique background, Morgan and Lasley are quite proud of what they have been able to create within the Center’s cutting-edge facility.

“A big star of our show is the lighting. It’s just so important that the lights tell a great story, especially in a show with as little set as this. Lighting has seen a number of big technical improvements since the show was originally conceived,” said Morgan.

With a number of professional and concert dancers in the cast, Morgan’s extensive choreography background and the show’s strong technical aspects, “A Chorus Line” promises to be an impressive display of Community Theater on a scale larger than the original.

“When a theater can pull off ‘A Chorus Line’ and do it well,” said Morgan, “that’s the time to do it.”

Preparing for the season • Start planning the menu for the first game.

This week’s recipe is pasta salad which is good for early season, warm-weather tailgating. This pasta has a bite from the ranch dip, but it won’t overpower your main courses like sausage, burgers or chicken.

Ingredients: One package of ranch flavor party dip, 1 cup of sour cream, 1 cup of milk, 1 pound of your favorite pasta, 3 cups assorted veggies, 1 cup of large pitted olives, 1/4 cup crisp chopped bacon pieces Preparation: Prepare the party dip per directions with a wire whisk. Let the mixture thicken in the refrigerator. Cook the pasta al dente and then drain it in a colander. Using a large, plastic, re-sealable container, add the pasta, chopped veggies and bacon. Chill the mixture in the fridge overnight. On game day, mix in the party dip and put the container into your cooler. It’s ready to go, and by tailgate time it will be great with any sandwich or chicken.

August is here. It’s been months since you’ve thought about tailgating, hasn’t it? There were things that came to mind at the end of last season that you meant to do, but now the days have passed by and you don’t even remember what they were. Fear not! Here are simple ideas to get you started: • Make a list of your equipment. There will be tables, chairs, tents, grills, coolers, flags and much more.

• Get this equipment out of storage and check each piece for cleanliness, wear and tear and its importance in your tailgate set-up.

• Is there something you need to replace or even eliminate?

• Is there a new gadget on the market that is better than what you’re using?

• Check for end-of-summer bargains online and in the sale tabloids. This time of year, cookout and camping gear generally goes on season-ending sales.

• Get out the schedule for home games and check the times. 8 p.m. and noon starts may require entirely different menus.

• Contact your tailgating companions to get their thoughts.

Bumblebees and a Yellow Jacket Commentary by David Cain

Perhaps one of the coolest mascots ever, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jacket, is a feisty little bee that looks to me the perfect mixture of cute and menacing. I was visiting the campus for an event unrelated to the school when I noticed a bookstore loaded with bee accessories. It was the perfect find for a father in need of ample booty to return home to little ones.

I rolled into the store and surveyed the horizon. Armed with a reasonable budget, I was blown away when I discovered the bumblebee mascot. Cups, little shirts, little hats, little socks, stuffed bumblebees. It was catnip. I stepped back and took a breath. I decided that I should call home and make sure my little girls would be as enamored with the bee as me.

I made the call. The first discussion went quickly: “No bee, Daddy, I want a stuffed cat or candy.” Okay, that works. For the second call I knew I had to work for it if that little bee was joining me on the plane.

“You want Daddy to bring you a yellow jacket?” Who could resist that leading statement? Of course she said yes. Our discussion continued with a complete description that included my confirmation that the yellow jacket had antennas and a stinger. I had this little guy all picked

out; he was amazing – a little scary, I admit, but certainly something we could overcome. I had visions of her loving it so much, taking the bee to bed every night as her go-to animal and rewarding me with sweet kisses and an endless supply of “I love you’s.”

I arrived home anxious to give my gifts. The prized bee had traveled the entire trip by my side. I took out the bee and was greeted with screams. Her cries of sorrow and disappointment were not because of the bee’s menacing look. Instead, it was a mismatched expectation.

You see, she was expecting a yellow jacket that she could wear, complete with antennas and a stinger, not a stuffed bumblebee.

It was just another reminder of how important clear communication is for people and businesses.

It’s a reminder of how important it is never to make an assumption that who you are talking to will understand your jargon. It’s important to remember you have to be thorough. Well, it’s something I’ll remember every time I see that bee staring at me in his new home – my office.

Grammar Guy

Apostrophes and plurals Commentary by Jordan Fischer

Question: I’m a big fan of music from the 1960s. I’ve seen it written a lot of ways: The ‘60s; the 60s; the 60’s.; even ‘60s’ music. Which one of those is correct?

Answer: You’ve treaded here into one of the stickier grammar rules: apostrophes used to indicate plural nouns – though, in your example, the rule would be misapplied. We’ll get to that in a bit, though.

To answer your first question, if you’re talking about a specific decade like the 1960s, and you want to be a little less formal, writing it as “the ‘60s” is perfectly fine. There the apostrophe indicates an omission – specifically the omission of “1900.” It’s the same principle applied in some of the more cringe-worthy slang you might pick up from a Mark Twain protagonist: ‘cause (because), s’pose (suppose), etc.

Now let’s go through the rest of your examples, shall we? Let’s say you want to turn a number into a plural object. To stick with the 60 theme, let’s say you’ve got a very large group of people which you’ve counted off into 60 smaller groups. If you’d like each member of the number 60 sub-group to, let’s say, line up for lunch, you might say this: “Would the 60s please come to the cafeteria?”

The principle applies for all numbers (7s, 18s, 4,000s, etc.), and also for capital letters (As, Bs, Cs, etc.).

Of course, since nothing can be too easy in English, if you’d like to make lower case letters plural, you’ll need to bring that apostrophe back. Remember when your mother advised you to mind your p’s and q’s? She used apostrophes to do so.

The third 60 you’ve presented here, “60’s” is simply incorrect … unless of course you’re talking about a possession belonging to, I don’t know, a robot named “60.” But since robots still don’t have personal property rights, it’s not something we need to worry about.

The last 60 in your question, “’60s’ music,” is, I think, a valiant attempt to apply correct grammar. Ultimately, of course, it is one that fails.

The initial apostrophe is used correctly to indicate that something has been omitted (“1900”).

The second apostrophe wants to, I believe, indicate that the music in question comes from the 1960s. I can understand this. Why it is incorrect is this: The music does not belong to the 1960s; it is simply of the 1960s. In this use, ‘60s becomes an adjective in the same way you might say “Jamaican music” or “Celtic music;” thus no apostrophe is needed.

Remodeling

Laundry room update for family Commentary by Larry Greene

Original laundry room: This home is located in the Brentwood development on the east side of Carmel and was built in 1986. The owners moved in during 2006 and were not happy with how the existing laundry room looked. “It was old and drab. It lacked the function we needed as a family with two kids.�

Remodeling goals: The homeowners considered their long term goals. “Our plan is to remodel the entire home over time, so we wanted to bring a look to the laundry room that would blend with the house now and in the future. We did not want to remodel again as the look of the rest of the house changed. We were looking for modern appliances and cabinetry, but with a look that would coordinate with the rest of the house.�

Laundry room details: The new room includes new white stock cabinets with a Nantucket door style along with Staron solid surface countertops in pebble beach. The floor is covered with 8� x 8� tumbled Torreon stone tile while the backsplash is a blue ice-blended tile from Dal Tile. Finally, new recessed can lights were added in the ceiling and the entire project area was freshly painted.

Dog wash area: The owners spent time designing around the family pets. “This area speaks to the functionality we were looking for in the

laundry room. We have two active dogs that get pretty dirty and we wanted an area where we could clean them off and not make a mess in the rest of the room. The design allowed both adults and kids to use the area easily. The sink height is good for the kids and the faucets make washing the dogs very easy.�

Favorite features: According to the homeowner the new cabinetry made the biggest difference. “Our favorite part of the remodel is the clean lines of the new cabinetry.�
