Local artist to open new exhibit

By Julie Osborne • julie@youarecurrent.com

This Friday, Zionsville’s Kellar Mahaney will debut a new exhibit, “New Paintings: Contemporary Color Inspired.” The feature will open during the First Friday Gallery Walk and Fall Harvest of the Arts, at Franklin Barry Gallery at The Frame Shop, 617 Massachusetts Ave., Indianapolis.

Known for her use of vivid color and abstract expressionist style, long-time Zionsville resident Mahaney is known as one the region’s best contemporary artists.

A rewarding career in museum work and cultivating the arts includes founding of the Munce Art Center in 1981, as well as directing the SullivanMunce Cultural Center in Zionsville for more than 20 years.

In 2001, she returned to painting professionally full-time and her love for the art is reflected in her works.

“I believe in color, energetic brushstrokes, scale and experimentation,” Mahaney said. “A row of breathtaking Cosmos flowers swaying in the breeze gives me such joy and hopefully that joy translates in my paintings.”

Plain talk

Naming the baby

Commentary by Donna Monday

It’s a good thing I’m too old to get pregnant.

I’d name a daughter Montana Jane. Honest, I would. And she’d probably never forgive me.

I don’t know what it is about Montana. I do know what it is about Jane. I’ve never met a Jane I didn’t like. As for Montana, that’s more complicated. For one thing, I like the sound of it. Just say “Montana” out loud.

Isn’t that great? Doesn’t it just sound like, “Big Sky country”? And doesn’t that evoke images of clouds, rainbows, and a perfect shade of summer blue? A kid named Montana would own a sky full of opportunities.

Of course, she might not see it that way. She might suppose I’d wanted a baby boy. Or I’d wish her a life in the rodeo. She might think I’d lost the “name the baby contest” to some newborn in Topeka.

When I was a kid, Grandma told me she’d always wanted twins. Said they would be Bertrude and Gertrude, and she’d call them Bert and Gert. I thought God was kind in that Grandma never had twins.

Truth is, I think naming a baby is one of the

greatest chores we are entrusted with in this life.

How many things do we mortals get to do that outlive us? Oh, I know, we can plant the proverbial apple tree.

But how many of us still live where we planted the apple tree? I’ve planted trees that, bless their little blossoms, are now growing merrily in some other owner’s yard. Some are many owners removed from the young woman I was when I planted them.

A baby is different. She’s not going to stay where I plant her; but, by golly, she’d better stay in touch. And, like it or not, she’s gonna cart that birth certificate around for the rest of her life. Which is why it’s important to name her right in the first place.

Like I said, God is kind. I’m too old to have baby. So much for Montana Jane. She’s just the twinkle in this grandma’s eye. A playmate for Bert and Gert in the summer sky of my imagination.

Plain talk/Around Town

In memory of my dad Commenaty by Ward Degler

I was able to honor my father a little last week in a place that time has pretty well forgotten. I found an old Civilian Conservation Corps camp deep among the towering pines of the national forest in the north woods of Wisconsin.

In 1941 my dad was the superintendent there, and we lived in a government-owned one-room log cabin five miles from the camp. Dad hiked to work and back every day.

The CCC was part of the Works Progress Authority (WPA) set up to put Americans back to work during the Great Depression. The WPA built a lot of the country’s roads, bridges and dams back then. The CCC boys fought forest fires and planted more than 10 million trees.

Once when I visited the camp Dad, asked me if I would like to plant a tree. He took me to a small tool shed and let me pick out a shovel, showed me where to dig and handed me a tiny pine seedling.

Last week I walked a mile-and-a-half through the forest down an overgrown dirt lane to the campsite. All that remains today are two longneglected equipment garages and a couple of tool sheds. One of them may be where I got my shovel that day. I’d like to believe it is. All the other buildings are long gone. Not a trace remains.

Nor could I find the cabin where we lived. A new highway replaced the old one in a different place years ago, so it was probably torn down. The camp was closed when World War II started.

My dad died a dozen years ago, a month short of his 90th birthday. Still, standing in that quiet place where he once worked was a journey back in time, and I offered him a quiet and grateful salute.

Cover Story

How a Zionsville resident came to oversee one of the best venues in sports

By Derek Fisher • derek@youarecurrent.com It’s a big building, with big visibility. There’s a big job to be done, and big responsibilities to be shouldered.

The funny thing is, the man with all that on his plate prefers things to be just the opposite.

“I have no ambition to be the biggest and best,” says Mike Fox, Zionsville resident and director of Indianapolis’ Lucas Oil Stadium. “It’s kind of like being a referee: If they didn’t notice you, you probably did a good job.”

Fox has been doing just that for more than two decades, first as director of the Hoosier (later RCA) Dome and now its successor just across South Street. He is simultaneously the main man at the controls of one of the world’s most cutting-edge facilities, and a person who seeks to delegate instead of coveting the limelight.

That approach has worked well; early on however, Fox had no inkling his future held such a lofty position.

“The summer after my senior year at Indiana University, I still had to complete an internship as part of my curriculum,” Fox explained.

Not having wanted to take a semester away from studies and other interests in Bloomington – more on those in a moment – that summer of 1984 was the perfect time to assume such a position. As fate would have it, the then-Hoosier Dome had just been completed.

“Just after my senior year, the dome had just opened and I thought it was a good place to start,” said Fox. “I liked that there was variety there. I set up an interview with a man named Steve Hartman for my internship.”

It was that encounter with Hartman that changed Fox’s path for good – and also where we come back to Fox’s other collegiate interests.

“I was a student manager under Bob Knight for four years,” Fox said. “Hartman took one look at my resume – literally one look – and said, ‘You were a manager for coach Knight?’ I said I was. He said, ‘Well, if you can handle that bull****, you can handle this.’ He hired me on the spot.”

Fox interned for three years, dabbling in all facets of the dome and Convention Center’s operations – “I was interested in stadiums,” understated Fox – before being named interim stadium director after Jerry Oliver left to pursue an opportunity with the present-day Tampa Bay Rays.

“After a period of four or five months of being an interim,” Fox said, “they ended up giving me the job of running the stadium. I was 26 years old. And I was scared to death.”

If Fox is scared any longer, his reputation and track record certainly don’t tell the tale. He has overseen both men’s and women’s NCAA Final Fours, concerts, motorsports programs, high school football state championship games, countless other events – and likely every Colts game ever played in Indianapolis.

“There’s a question as to whether or not I missed one in the first couple years on the job,” Fox deadpans. “But other than that, I’ve seen them all.”

“Seen” is a relative term in Fox’s vocabulary – he rarely watches a single play on gameday.

“I figure if I’m watching the game, it’s taking time away from something else I should be doing,” he said. “And I don’t want 10 | October 2, 2012

my employees seeing me taking a break – that’s not the kind of example I want to set.”

Fox believes in delegation – “Over-management hinders creativity,” he says – and that’s a mantra he carried right up through his biggest event to date: last February’s Super Bowl.

“We treated the NFL just like anyone else,” said Fox. “They left here thinking it was the best experience they’d ever had. We worked every day between Jan. 2 and Feb. 18, and worked a little bit harder than normal. It was great for everyone – except my family. Didn’t see them much.”

And it’s family that brings us full circle, back to Fox’s Zionsville residency. After all, it was family that brought him to Boone County.

“I’m from a one-high school town,” Fox explained. “My wife is also from a one-high school town. When we were considering Zionsville seven years ago, we gravitated toward the sense of community; it was a home run.”

To sit across from the man and watch his face as he delivers it, one knows there is no pretense when he says, “I’ve had other (employment) offers, but I believe in putting down roots and helping your community be as good as it can be.”

To look at the big building at Capitol and South is to be certain Fox knows a little something about making things as good as they can be.

VIEWS

Opinion Some key questions for President Obama

War on Walley World It is our position that the war waged on super giant retailer Walmart, by Zionsville preservationists may be a lingering battle.

Recently, Wal-Mart Stores Inc. filed revised plans to build a smaller, more attractive store along Michigan Road, north of 106th Street on the Hamilton-Boone county line. The Zionsville Plan Commission is set to consider the proposal at its Oct. 15 meeting. However, aspiring Walmart Greeters, don’t put on your bright red vests just yet.

The fight has been going on for six years now and has spawned two lawsuits, one by Walmart claiming that there is no valid reason a store should not be built in the area.

While Zionsville is not immune to mega retailers with a host already doing business in the area, Village preservationists and local retailers have been dragging their feet for good reason. Perhaps the aberration is Walmart’s reputation for being a “small town killer,” putting smaller retailers out of business by using bulk purchasing to offer low prices on its goods and services.

Regardless of which side wins the war, here’s hoping that the Village of Zionsville remains a peaceful respite from generic strip malls and the mega-store grind. Let originality reign.

A tailored fit

Commentary by Terry Anker

In visiting a new tailor recently to have a button repaired on a suit, the no doubt well-intentioned seamstress suggested ever-sopolitely that they offered a service that would narrow lapels and generally bring a “quality suit back into fashion.” It was one of those moments where one is both complimented and insulted. She has, albeit in a backhanded way, suggested that there must have been some good taste and desire for superior fabric and construction in me – even though it was hard to see behind lapels that one could only imagine must be reminiscent of Dumbo’s ears.

A suspicious nature might lead one to conclude that the purveyor was simply looking to enhance the revenue from a modest repair to a complex alteration. But after a look in the ubiquitous mirrors lining the walls of the establishment, it was clear, even to an aging eye, that she was more sympathetic than rapacious.

So after agreeing to the new cut, delivery

and some small talk, I returned to my day reminded that even as time marches on, the details of our lives – once finely honed and completely intentional – can begin to say something entirely different about us. From one perspective, there is a measure of success in that the suit still fits, that it was of such quality as to last for a span measured in decades and that the value based per wearing had exceeded all expectations. Yet from another’s take, it appeared tired, at best, quaint. The tailoring, while classic, seemed dated and nostalgic. Did it reflect the attitude of its wearer?

Like so many passing moments if we stop to consider them fully, we realize that the meaning may be greater than imagined. Is it time to look at the cut of our lives and perhaps adjust a little?

“My expectation is that if you want to be president, you have to work for everyone, not just for some.”

– President Barack Obama, during taping of “The Late Show” with David Letterman.

That comment by the commander in chief came in response to Republican challenger Mitt Romney’s comments at a private fundraiser. We found the president’s comments quite interesting, if not begging of certain questions. Such as: • Was the president thinking of everyone when he bailed out General Motors to save union jobs (one of his most important sources of financial support) while crushing bond holders, which, in effect, broke American bankruptcy laws?

• Was he thinking of everyone when he granted all the ObamaCare waivers to, among others, union members? (For a complete list of those abdications, go to: www.freerepublic.com/ focus/f-chat/2900475/posts.) In case you’re counting, the list now is up to 1,231 companies, give or take. According the Health and Human Services Dept., ObamaCare waivers excuse about 4 million people.

• Was he thinking of all entrepreneurs when he gave more than half a billion dollars of taxpayer money to Solyndra? Remember Solyndra, the solar-panel company? When government picks winners and losers, we know for whom the loser’s bell tolls. It’s we taxpayers.

The president was just lucky that the “journalist” involved in this exchange was David Letterman. But, let’s face it: Would the questioning have been any tougher had Andrea Mitchell of NBC had been the interviewer?

Essex report off-base

Editor, The recent video report by Richard Essex on WTHR has a lot of Zionsville residents and business owners upset. The report not only ignored the true facts, but it also failed to balance itself with some positive content. Did WTHR report that Zionsville’s retail occupancy rate is now 90 percent?

Nope. Did they recognize that at least five businesses in Zionsville have had their two best years in a row? Negative. And if Zionsville is so bad, why are new businesses springing up? New ones this year include a new wine bar, a lady’s shop, another Italian restaurant, a new mattress store and a corporate design center. And that “For Lease” sign on the building in the beginning of Mr. Essex’s report? The previous business owner is a florist who moved down the street to a larger facility needing

to accommodate her growing business! Instead of the full story, Mr. Essex chose two shop owners to whine about their failing businesses and project the inaccuracy that their plight is the same throughout the Village. And then Mr. Essex interviews one person who closed down a business to spend more time with her graduating son, not because the business was failing! He conveniently forgot to pay attention to what the business owner was telling him. It’s time to see and read news reports that recognize those who are thriving in Zionsville! As to Mr. Essex: Please, go ahead, report the negative and skip the facts. The positive people of Zionsville will balance your biased reporting with a big smile on their face and let the song of a strong community ring true.

Paul Dreier, 46077

Please keep wandering Editor, I enjoyed reading the article “Wandering through Zionsville” last week and can relate to one of the last statements: “This is a fantastic, friendly, little town. Where have I been all these years?” I have lived in and around the Indianapolis area all my life (Greenwood, Fishers, Geist area, Carmel, and northwest Indianapolis). I started working in Zionsville just over a year ago. While I have always known about Zionsville and have known a few people who lived in Zionsville, I had no idea

how cool and unique this community was until I started working in Zionsville. I have since moved to Zionsville and tell others that Zionsville is Indiana’s “Best Kept Secret.” Most in and around Indy would label the Zionsville Community as being rich and conservative. I once thought that myself.

However, I have come to love the hard-working, family-oriented, “love to have fun” attitude, generous, and supportive community that makes Zionsville a community like none other.

Life-changing objects I've discovered Commentary by Danielle Wilson This has been a great year for me. Why? Three discoveries that have quite literally changed my life. And because I am a giving person, I’ll now share them with you, my fine friends.

Sperry Topsiders Yes, they are a bit expensive ($70) and yes, they can make already big feet look gi-normous (think clown shoes), but God bless them, these shoes will change your life.

When my dogs hurt, I get cranky, see, and when I get cranky, ain’t nobody happy. But I often want something a little dressier than my black and pink Sauconys. Enter the Sperry Intrepid. These leather and mesh topsiders are like baby kisses for your feet, with just enough support to make crisscrossing Kings Island or hiking a shale mountain perfectly enjoyable. Plus, they’re stylish. You’ll look like you just stepped off your yacht, even in Indiana. Get them wet, leave them on a beach, accidentally run over them in your van . . . no problem! They’ll beg for more and look good doing it. Simply amazing footwear.

Wireless Headphones Admittedly, I have control issues, particularly when it comes to bedtime. I demand complete darkness, silence except for my sound machine, and a room temperature that would make polar bears shiver.

My husband, Doo, as cruel Fate would have it, must watch television to fall asleep, breaking two of my carefully constructed sleep “requirements.” I can combat the light by wearing a

Photoshop for

mask and burrowing under two pillows but can never completely drown out the sound. I can’t tell you how many fights this has caused. Until . . . wireless headphones! They have changed my life! Now Doo can watch whatever he wants for however long, and I can’t hear a stinking thing.

I get to sleep and he gets to veg. It’s a win-win, and for $37, far cheaper than counseling.

The Effect of ADHD in the Marriage Another miracle available for purchase and cheaper than a shrink is this book. Even if you or your spouse does not have ADHD, it will change your life. “The Effect of ADHD” is basically an inside look at how opposite personalities can create strong relationships but can also cause tons of problems. When my husband and I read through it this summer, we kept saying “That’s us!” or “That sounds exactly like your brother!” You will relate to almost every scenario and situation presented, if not in your own household, in those of your friends and family.

And though the author doesn’t give answers, she offers techniques for resolving differences effectively and for celebrating even the most annoying habits (watching television in bed).

Again, you’re welcome. Peace out.

Carmel: Carmel Pedals Tour de Thursdays – CarmelPedals Tour de Thursdays, “Carmel’s casual bike ride,” is fun, easy and friendly. The group meets every Thursday evening and rides 10 mph for 10 miles. The event is a great way to see Carmel and meet new friends. Loaner bikes are available. For more information, visit the group’s Facebook page, Carmel Pedals.

Stonycreek Farm celebrates 40th Pumpkin Harvest Festival

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com What began as a small pumpkin patch in 1972 has grown into a full-service nursery and landscaping business. Harvest season is now celebrated each year on the 1860’s Stonycreek Farm, 11366 Ind. 38 East, Noblesville. This year marks the 40th Annual Stonycreek Farm Pumpkin Harvest Festival which runs now to Oct. 31.

“We now have third generation families picking their own pumpkins.

We take great pride in seeing children find their first pumpkin in our fields,” says Loren Schmierer, owner of Stonycreek Farm.

The 40th anniversary marks a first in Stonycreek history. Because of this summer’s drought, Stonycreek Farm has germinated pumpkins in greenhouses in preparation for the annual event. The seedlings were then planted in the field and maintained with a water truck. Thanks to a proactive germination program, the farm hopes to yield 50,000 pumpkins despite extreme drought conditions.

Pumpkins aren’t the only attraction at the festival.

Once again, the zip line is expected to be a crowd pleaser. The cost is $15 per person for anyone age 10 and up who weighs between 90 pounds and 250 pounds. In honor of the anniversary, those turning 40 years old during the month of September or October get a free zip line

ride (with valid ID). The zip line sails across the Christmas tree field, over a pond and gives riders a spectacular view of the hayride wagons heading out to the field. The ride is approximately 400 feet long and is 40 feet high in some places.

The festival includes entertainment for “kids” ages 8-80. Have you ever wondered what a grain grinder looks like? A new educational program will feature antique farm equipment where visitors can learn about the use of various vintage farm equipment. Other highlights include hayrides to the pumpkin patch, a haunted house, the gourd sling shot, corn cob cannon, Kiddiepillar (inflatable), candle making, farm animals, and more. Kids can take pony rides and talk with a blacksmith, as well as jump in a giant straw mound and play at the playground. Most activities have a nominal fee.

If you get hungry or thirsty, the Country Market is open daily. Smoked ribs, turkey legs, pulled pork, and Kettle Corn are sold on the weekends.

Mums and fall decorations are available for sale in the greenhouse.

During the peak weekends of the Pumpkin Harvest Festival, organizers said more than 2,000 people a day attend. The festival is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Private party sites are available during the evening from 6 to 11 p.m. Parking is $5 per car on Saturday and Sunday and there is no fee Monday to Friday.

Review

‘All that jazz’ and more at Beef & Boards Commentary by Hope Baugh “Chicago” is perhaps a steamier show than Beef and Boards audiences are used to. The costumes are skimpier, the language more raw.

However, the quality of dancing and singing is some of the best I’ve ever experienced there.

And it is, after all, a show about murderesses fighting for the media spotlight during Prohibition.

Deb Wims plays Roxie Hart, a bored housewife who kills her unfaithful lover in a jealous rage. Marisa Rivera plays Velma Kelly, a glamorous burlesque performer who catches her boyfriend in bed with her co-star sister and kills them both. Roxie and Velma meet in prison, where they fight over handsome, hot shot lawyer Billy Flynn (Curt Dale Clark.) He sings that all he “cares about is love” but really all he cares about is his $5,000 fee.

If all this sounds tawdry, it is. You don’t go to this show to find role models. It is also sexy and scandalous. I grinned the whole time, though, because this show both titillates and pokes fun at titillation.

I also grinned because even the “smaller” performances are treats. Alene Robertson as corrupt prison matron Momma Morton, M. J. Austin as flighty reporter Mary Sunshine, and Eddie Curry as cellophane husband Amos Hart, all make their famous roles their own in delightful ways. The ensemble of nine back-up singers-

dancers is solidly attractive and talented, too.

And those skimpy costumes I mentioned earlier?

Gorgeous. (Designed by Kurt Alger.)

I wouldn’t take children to this show but it is definitely a swell night out for adults who are looking for a bit of high quality sizzle “and all that jazz.”

“Chicago” continues at Beef and Boards Dinner Theatre through Sunday.

Killing flies and taking names Commentary by David Cain

I find flies especially irritating. Like a friendly dog that wants to explore you entirely, they are the great intruder of personal space. Unlike the friendly dog however, the fly gets into all kinds of unsavory places and in my mind the fly is indelibly linked to and a symbol of all things dirty. Only the roach comes to mind as nastier than the fly, an overreaction I’m sure.

As summer draws to a close, my outdoor activities have increased allowing the fly to take his rightful seat at the throne as king of irritations.

Again, I completely understand that I’m on the verge of being considered a germ freak, but the fly is an irritating fellow. You can swat and swipe at them and they still find a way to land on your food or the rim of your drink again and again.

Efforts to ignore them go unfulfilled. And, even if you don’t share my opinion of their nastiness, most would agree they are irritating. The proof, most people kill them.

For me, the fly also represents a business analogy. This seemingly inconsequential little guy, so tiny you’d like to ignore him, can spoil a party.

Consider a cookout. Lots of people, drinks, fun,

kids running about, laughter and smiles. There he sits, the fly with a dozen buddies crawling all over the food and drinks while people talk.

You shoo him. He lands on someone’s forehead.

You shoo him again, he moves to your arm then to your drink then to your plate. The fly is a relentless, determined spoiler. He always wants to disrupt your party, mildly irritate people, and he’s only interested in himself.

Little things can ruin the entire experience.

It takes a lot of work to prevent the little irritations in the daily experience of your customers, too. It’s a lot of work to get rid of the flies in your business. I am consistently on the lookout for flies. I’m the flyswatter or at least the fly spotter. Always working to prevent having flies, spot them quickly when they enter the scene, and immediately escort them out of our business party. After all, too many flies are a signal that something must be rotten.

Treating a sign of summer: swimmer’s ear Commentary by Jennifer Jones, M.D. This summer’s string of scorching hot days makes swimming in a pool or lake even more inviting. While swimming is a great way to cool off, kids who spend a lot of time in the water, especially underwater, can experience inflammation of the outer ear and ear canal – medically referred to as otitis externa, but more commonly known as “swimmer’s ear.”

Unlike middle ear infections (otitis media) that occur internally behind the eardrum, otitis externa affects the outer parts of the ear. The ear canal and outer ear can become painful and inflamed, usually from irritants such as water, cotton swabs and other foreign objects or from scratching too hard. With swimmer’s ear, the most common symptom is pain, although itching and redness may also occur. One way to tell if the pain is due to swimmer’s ear is to wiggle or pull on the ear. If this causes pain, it’s likely swimmer’s ear; if not, it could be a middle ear infection.

If your child has swimmer’s ear, your doctor will likely prescribe antibiotic ear drops with a steroid to be applied several times a day. The

pain should subside quickly, but swimming is generally discouraged while using the drops.

Some children (and adults) are more prone to swimmer’s ear than others. Keeping the ears as dry as possible will help prevent the condition.

Tilting the head and drying ears with a towel after swimming is a good way to avoid water from becoming trapped in the ear. Drying ears with a hair dryer on the coolest setting also works. For children experiencing frequent cases of swimmer’s ear, a swim cap, ear plugs or over-the-counter ear drying drops are often helpful. (Ear plugs should be used cautiously, as they can irritate the outer ear and contribute to the problem.)

For general ear care, refrain from clearing the ear wax from ears. The wax provides a natural protective barrier and helps prevent infection.

The only time a doctor will remove ear wax is to see the middle ear and check for infection.

Breast cancer prevention

By Tammy Rabe • editorial@youarecurrent.com Breast cancer is still a leading cause of death in women, but thanks to today’s advanced screening and early detection methods, breast cancer survival rates have improved dramatically.

Beginning in their 20s, women are encouraged to perform breast self-exams monthly to check for lumps or changes in shape, size or other alteration. Around the same age, women should also start having clinical breast exams. These should be performed at least every three years throughout a woman’s 20s and 30s and then yearly after age 40.

Additionally, mammography—still considered the gold standard for breast cancer detection—is recommended annually beginning at age 40 by the American College of Radiology (ACR).

A clearer picture A mammogram, which takes an x-ray picture of the inside of the breast, allows a physician to visually check for any signs of breast cancer that cannot be felt by physical exams.

Witham Health Services is proud to offer digital mammography, which provides higher resolution images for clearer details of the breast, as well as less radiation exposure and fewer diagnostic follow-ups.

Stamp of excellence The Women’s Center at Witham has been recognized as a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence by the ACR.

Are you at risk?

Breast cancer will be diagnosed in one in eight women during their lifetime. It’s imperative that you know your risk and receive proper screenings as directed by your health care provider. Risk factors for breast cancer include: Increases at age 40 and as you grow older, Drinking more than two glasses of alcohol a day, Dense breast tissue, Being a woman—though men are not immune, Family history of breast cancer, Hormone replacement therapy with estrogen over the course of several years, Menstrual cycle history: Women who got their periods before age 12 or those who began menopause after age 55, Obesity or being overweight, and Women who have never given birth or who gave birth after age 30.

“This designation affirms that Witham has earned accreditation in not only mammography, but also stereotactic breast biopsy, breast ultrasound and ultrasound-guided breast biopsy,” says Jason Scott, MBA, CRA, RT(R)(MA), Director of Imaging/Cardiac Diagnostics/Pulmonary/Neurodiagnostics. “All of our equipment and practices meet or exceed the quality assurance and safety guidelines set forth by the ACR.

Plains and simple Commentary by Don Knebel

Over the Labor Day weekend, my wife and I attended a wedding on an immaculately maintained farm just outside Henderson, Nebraska.

We learned that central Nebraska can provide as much of a cultural experience as the more exotic places I usually write about.

Henderson, population 986, was founded in 1874 by 35 Mennonite families from Russia.

The current residents have three Mennonite congregations, having divided over precisely how God wanted women to tie the bonnets they no longer wear. No alcohol is sold or openly imbibed in Henderson, divorce is rare, houses are modest and well-maintained and serious crime is essentially non-existent. As small towns all across America have decayed in the last fifty years, Henderson’s population has doubled. For Henderson, the Fifties are not a memory but an inspiration.

The residents of Henderson believe unapologetically that success comes from following God and working hard, in that order. The success of the area farmers is largely attributable to irrigation made possible by the Ogallala Aquifer. Fed by eight-inch wells, “pivots” up to a half mile long water the soybean and corn fields 24 hours a day.

When I asked one farmer if he worried that all the irrigation might one day deplete the aquifer, he

told me with no hesitation that he is not worried because he knows God provides the water.

On the way home, we asked ourselves, “Is there any downside to living in Henderson?”

There is. The fields of well-watered crops extending to the horizon in every direction can obscure the view of the world beyond, in which wells sometimes go dry, the most serious issue dividing people is not about bonnets and people who work hard and love God don’t always get the rewards they deserve.

Grammar Guy

Look-alike syndrome Commentary by Jordan Fischer There are approximately 500,000 words in the Oxford English Dictionary, and the list of words which didn’t make the cut is easily that amount over again. It’s an abundance writers take advantage of, certainly. For example, if I want to say that I’m sweaty, I have some options: clammy, perspiring, sudoric, diaphoretic, soaked, damp, dripping, etc.

With all those words to choose from, you’d think we’d have no problem steering words with similar meanings away from similar pronunciations and spellings … but no; that would be too easy. This week, in celebration of the pain this causes many editors (and I’m sure just about everyone trying to learn English as a second language), I present four word pairs that should just go their separate ways.

Adverse and averse – These two are a pain.

They’re both adjectives, and they both have a negative denotation. “Adverse” indicates an unfavorable condition, while “averse” (typically followed by the word “to”) indicates disliking or opposing something. The rule of thumb here is: If you’re talking about something you don’t like, you’re averse to it. If it’s something bad happening to you, it’s an adverse event.

Compliment and complement – If you ever wondered in math class when you would use all the stuff you were learning, that day has come.

“Complement” with two “Es” indicates some-

thing that improves, augments or adds to another thing. In geometry, which, incidentally, also has two “Es,” complementary angles are those which add up to 90 degrees. A “compliment” with an “I,” however, is simply an expression of praise.

For example: “Compliments on your interdisciplinary explanation, Jordan.” Thanks, reader.

Imminent and eminent – “Eminent” signifies prominence. A bishop is in an eminent position in his church. Many longtime residents are considered eminent members of their community. “Imminent” signifies that something is coming soon. There might be an imminent tornado warning, for example. In medicine, a transient ischemic attack, or mini-stroke, can be the warning sign of an imminent stroke.

Intern and inter – In the interest of full disclosure, these two appear on this list out of personal experience (and not a small amount of chagrin). To “intern” somewhere is to act as an apprentice or student worker. To “inter” somewhere is to be buried. So, for example, when a rookie reporter who is assigned to the obituaries desk writes that someone was “interned” at the local cemetery, he is incorrect (Unless maybe he’s talking about a mortuary sciences student).

Removing wall opens up kitchen Commentary by Larry Greene

ORIGINAL KITCHEN: This home is located in the South Harbour subdivision in Noblesville and was built in 1973. The current owner has lived there for 25 years and is the second owner.

REASONS FOR REMODELING: Why remodel?

“I always wanted a bigger kitchen. There was so much wasted space in the dining room, and the kitchen was smaller than those in most people’s apartments. It was a galley kitchen with little counter space and a huge pantry. There was no room for anything else. The builder must have felt that the large pantry meant there was no need for any other kitchen space! I had new cabinets, flooring and appliances installed in 2003 but it really did not help with the space issue. I decided I was going to stay here, as I like the neighborhood and the water, so it was time to expand the kitchen.”

DESIGN PROCESS: The owner went through a detailed design phase looking at several design schemes over the course of 5 weeks. “The goal of the remodel was better use of space.”

KITCHEN DETAILS: The expanded kitchen includes new painted maple cabinets in bisque and ebony capped with a two-piece crown along with new Hi-Macs solid surface countertops in Aztec Quartz color and bullnose edge. The floor includes new 13” x 13” porcelain tile from Dal Tile in Delta Gray color. The lighting upgrades

include recessed can lights, under-cabinet lights and decorative mini-pendants over the peninsula. The new white solid surface sink includes a Delta Palo stainless pull out faucet.

FAVORITE FEATURES: The owner commented on her favorite features. “The peninsula and the wall of cabinets are my favorite parts of the remodel. The red pendants give me the splash of color I wanted against the black and white cabinets. The small island gives me room to the unload groceries and to place food when I have parties. Before, there was no space for me to entertain in my kitchen.”
