Village Music owner pleads guilty to child molestation Sara Baldwin Schatz sara@youarecurrent.com On Oct. 10 at the Boone County Courthouse, Kristoffer Ryan Blattner, co-owner of Village Music in Zionsville, pleaded guilty CRIME to child molesting.

Blattner was charged March 22 with felony 4 child molesting, which is defined as “fondling of persons under age 14”, and class C/level 3 felony child molesting, defined as “sexual conduct of persons under age 14.”

Blattner At the start of the plea hearing, Judge Matthew Kincaid told Blattner he had the right to a trial and would forego it if he pleaded guilty. Blattner voluntarily entered the plea bargain, an agreement that allowed him to skip the trial and go straight to sentencing.

Blattner pleaded guilty to the felony 4 charge but not the class C felony. The court took the plea under advisement and a sentencing hearing was set for Nov. 8.

Blattner faces 2 to 12 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000. By accepting the plea bargain, he faces significantly less time than if convicted of both charges.

As of July 27, Blattner was present at Village Music, the company he owns with his parents. He teaches music lessons to children as young as 5. It is unclear whether he has con-

tinued to teach private music lessons while the charges were pending.

Blattner’s conviction will put him on the Indiana Sex and Violent Offender Registry as a “sexually violent predator.” His attorney, Allan Reid, asked Kincaid to allow Blattner to still be involved in Village Music when he determines the sentence.

Reid, Blattner’s attorney, had not responded to Current as of press time.

ployees deem important.

“More and more businesses are focusing on relocating or expanding to areas that have a great sense of community and focus on quality-of-life issues,” Haak said. “This is where Zionsville outpaces most other communities.”

Haak, whose salary as mayor has been $120,000 since he was elected in 2016, recently turned down a proposed 2.5 percent pay increase in the Town of Zionsville’s 2019 budget proposal.

“The quick answer is that I feel like I’m fairly compensated,” he said.

By comparison, the Carmel City Council recently proposed a 7 percent salary increase for Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard, which would make him the highest-paid mayor in the state at $148,786. Brainard also received a 6.5 percent increase last year.

ZCS plans clinic

By Desiree Williams news@currentzionsville.com During the Oct. 8 Zionsville Community Schools board meeting, Skillman Corp.

Vice President Victor SCHOOLS Landfair presented construction designs for the new ZCS Employee and Student Services Center. The 2.4-acre property is at 700 Mulberry St., east of Zionsville Community High School, along Pine Meadow Drive.

The Zionsville Town Council unanimously approved a zoning change for the acreage June 4, allowing ZCS to move forward with planning the center.

The building will consist of a St. Vincent clinic area on one side and district services on the other. After speaking with community members during a neighborhood meeting, the property will maintain much of its current landscaping.

The project will allow nearly 8,000 square feet at Pleasant View Elementary and Zionsville West Middle School to again become instructional space, which will be necessary to meet increasing enrollment rates, according to COO Rebecca Coffman.

The plans will be presented Oct. 22 to the Zionsville Plan Commission. If approved, Landfair said the proposed schedule includes awarding bids by Dec. 10, beginning construction this winter and completing the building by summer 2019.

He estimates the project to cost nearly $2 million.

ZCS proposes 2019 budget

5

Zionsville’s Top Selling Realtors®!

Compiled by Desiree Williams • news@currentzionsville.com What happened: For 20 years, Zionsville Community Schools CFO Mike Shafer has presented the proposed annual budget at a public hearing of the school board. This year, his proposal featured a structural shift.

What it means: Because of House Bill 1009, effective Jan. 1, 2019, the financial structure of school corporations will change. The ZCS structure previously consisted of five funds: general, capital projects, transportation, bus replacement and debt service. The new legislation eliminates the general fund and replaces it with an education fund and an operations fund.

The education fund is strictly for instructional costs. The operations fund combines the operations portion of the old general fund with the transportation, bus replacement and capital project funds.

Shafer said state aid will provide for the education and operations fund, while local property taxes will funnel into the operations fund, debt service fund and operating referendum.

State aid is determined by enrollment and funding per pupil. Funding per pupil is divided into two categories. The foundation is a fixed amount that each district receives while the second piece is a variable amount related to poverty. The ZCS district has the lowest percentage of students in poverty in the state, which means the corporation receives the least amount of funding per pupil, Shafer said.

What’s next: Budget adoption will occur at the next meeting at 6 p.m. Oct. 22.

School board and district leaders voiced concerns about the formula and considered strategies to approach the state legislature in its upcoming session with possible solutions.

The 2019 estimated budget is $85.5 million.

Revenue is projected to be $86.5 million, which combines 50 percent state funding with 46 percent property taxes and 4 percent other sources. Shafer said the community should see little or no change in property taxes.

Corteva teams with school for outdoor learning

By Heather Lusk news@currentzionsville.com

Teachers, students and volunteers from Corteva Agriscience recently worked together to create an outSCHOOLS door learning area at Eagle Elementary. The area will have a vegetable garden, textured native plants, a bubbling fountain and a sound garden funded by the Zionsville Education Foundation.

Corteva, the agriculture division of DowDuPont, raises funds for community improvement projects and provided labor and supplies. A sponsor-a-plant initiative will help fund the majority of the trees, shrubs and perennials.

STEM teacher Molly Haas said teachers helped plan and design the space.

“We want to redefine what learning looks like,” she said.

Everything in the garden will be touchable and safe, with plenty to explore and stump-seating for an outdoor classroom.

“We really want to make sure that the

garden isn’t just something you view from the outside, but you experience on the inside,” Haas said.

Each grade will create a unique project for the area, such as bat houses or a space for bees, allowing teachers to explore non-traditional subjects. “(The project) allows space for student’s questions within the topics you’re covering,” Eagle Elementary Principal Andrew Foreman said.

Kent and Randy Shaffer have a long history in the home building business. The brothers and ZionsARCHITECTURE ville residents are second-generation builders who learned the craft from their father, Bob Shaffer of Design Classics. Kent owns Kent Shaffer Homes and Randy owns Randy Shaffer Custom Homes.

They participated together in this year’s Builders Association of Greater Indianapolis Home-A-Rama to build a modern farmhouse in Westfield’s Chatham Hills community.

“It’s a 6,800-square-foot smart house,” Randy said. “It’s got up-to-date everything.

It’s on the golf course with a walkout basement, which makes it even nicer.”

The Shaffers partnered with Jacqueline K Interior Design for the home decor and Morningstar Landscaping for the landscape design.

The home competed against five others to win the People’s Choice Award at the Home-A-Rama, an event that showcases the work of hand-selected builders, designers and suppliers in the greater Indianapolis area.

“It’s a huge boost to our business. It tells you what kind of work we do when it comes to craftsmanship and how we build our homes,” Randy said. “I think it’s a reflection on years of experience.”

The family run businesses will continue to grow with Kent’s daughter, Kristen Hale, joining the team at Kent Shaffer Homes. The brothers’ next project will be building in a new development called Holliday Farms in Zionsville. The project is being developed by Henke Development Group LLC.

Memo to Rachel: stop calling Commentary by Ward Degler I get eight to 10 phone calls every day on our landline and another three to five on my cellphone. Virtually all of these are robocalls, the telephone PLAIN TALK equivalent of junk mail.

Some are worse. Like the ever-popular Rachel calling from Cardholder Services. She tells me that while there is nothing wrong with my credit card, I am qualified to receive a lower interest rate. To get the lower rate, however, I must call an 800 number immediately because, as Rachel says, “This is a limited time offer and will expire in a matter of minutes.”

The 800 number will connect me with someone who reads from a script designed to authenticate the call as legitimate and asks a few questions like what type of credit card I have, the expiration date, the balance and, ultimately, the card number itself.

Soon after, I would find my credit card maxed out and Rachel won’t remember me the next time she calls.

There are calls from the IRS, banks demanding immediate payment on past due student loans and other bogus debt collections. And let’s not forget the dethroned

prince of an unheard of province in Somalia who has to flee the country and needs you to watch over $1 million dollars that he will deposit in your checking account until he can get to America to redeem it. For your trouble, he will pay you a hundred grand.

You need only to send a $1,000 transfer fee.

The Federal Trade Commission reports there were 2.5 billion robocalls made in the U.S. during the month of June alone. That’s 9,600 calls per second.

Government regulators are trying to get control of this crisis, but the sheer numbers and creativity of the callers makes it nearly impossible.

In addition to the federal Do Not Call list, most states have their own regulations designed to curtail unwanted calls. In Indiana, a caller must have a live operator on the line when you answer, and he or she must identify who’s calling.

Somehow, I guess, Rachel never got the memo.

Ward Degler lives in Zionsville with his wife. He is the author of “The Dark Ages of My Youth ... and Times More Recent.”

Wineries continue to offer more than just wine to entertain visitors and create repeat customers. Locally, Hopwood Cellars Winery hosts a grape stomp to celebrate its October anniversary. Other wineries in the state have something for everyone.

• For the tunes: Family friendly live music, wine tasting and outdoor dining are the perfect evening combination at Two EE’s Winery and Country Heritage Winery, hosting concerts almost every weekend throughout the year.

• For the view: Butler, Oliver and Brown County wineries are all between Indianapolis and Nashville, Indiana, which makes an easy combination trip of sightseeing, wine tasting and shopping. Nearby Owen Valley Winery’s has a tasting room inside Spencer’s Tivoli Theater to combine a show with wine tasting.

• For the wine snob: Huber Winery, Turtle Run Winery and Best Vineyards are located within the state’s only designated wine region, Indiana Uplands. All are within an hour of each other for an afternoon of tasting or biking between the wineries.

• For the fresh air: Wildcat Creek Winery’s monthly yoga classes and nearby Whyte Horse Winery’s summertime hot air balloon rides, fall car show and wine stomp allow wine drinkers to enjoy the outdoors year-round.

“When you’re doing it on a small scale you get a chance to watch it (and adapt),” said Bruce Bordelon, viticulture professor at Purdue University and member of the Indiana Wine Grape Council. “It’s that real attention to detail that is something a small producer can do that a large-scale, bigtime operation just can’t.”

Bordelon said a resurgence in locally grown, artisan products has helped the Indiana Wine industry grow.

“Meeting the people who do it and their enthusiasm for what they’re doing, that becomes infectious,” he said.

ESSAY Life’s seasons

LETTER Brooks favors reducing Medicare, Social Security

Commentary by Terry Anker Our bodies carry us through this world like self-contained citystates. Each consumes resources, manufactures energy, grows and rebuilds. Cells are replaced, attackers are repelled and borders are held firm. In spite of a bit of expansion that accumulates over the years around the equator, we govern our territory fairly automatically.

Then, the years pile up and our infrastructure can use a bit of investment. Those we love transition imperceptibly at first, but time waits for no one. For some, graying hair may signal the changing season. For others, the furnace adds another shift as menopause turns up the thermostat. The web is rife with anecdote, conflicting notions, abundant data and confusing allegory. Some posts raise more questions than answers. Still, managing the mystery can make it all a bit less difficult.

Then, is it possible that men suffer much the same in different ways? Increasing weakness and loss of stamina continue to consume them even as the people in their lives seem to require more. One can surf the untamed internet seeking insight on this notion of manopause but little is garnered.

The point, of course, is not to lament the inevitability of what is, but to come to understand and hope to advance in our lives looking ever forward rather than as an aging Narcissus. As quickly as we adjust to the present, it becomes the past. With autumn continuing its slow retreat, we collectively assume an attitude of readiness. Frigid, short and gray days will become the standard. Even so, warm, sunny ones will replace them soon enough.

Living the fantasy nightmare Commentary by Danielle Wilson Well, I’ve gone and jinxed myself. Heading in to Week 5 of the fantasy football season, I am a horrifying oh-and-four.

HUMOR That’s zero wins, people. After publicly bragging about how my dance-mom superpowers would transfer perfectly to the make-believe world of starting, benching and trading professional football players, not one of my thoughtful and well-researched decisions has panned out, and mine remains the only team in a league of 10 without a W. In all fairness to me, injuries have plagued my motley crew. As our commissioner put it, I was running a MASH unit for the first month. Most of my stars are back, thank the Lord, but now luck has decided to abandon me. To wit, though, I racked up the second-highest point total last week. I just happened to play the team that scored the most. Come on, man! Can’t a gal catch a break?

Apparently not, and that’s the worst part.

I feel like I’m letting down womankind, or at least those ladies who care about sports.

As the lone female owner, I’d had dreams of showing the boys “how it is done,” that it didn’t matter that I’m a girl who’s never played a game of football in her life, that really all you need to succeed is a mother’s intuition and internet access. But that dream appears to be circling the drain, so to speak.

There is still plenty of time for me to recover, but I’ll be honest, I’m worried about my prospects for domination. Therefore, I humbly apologize for my earlier smacktalk. This fantasy stuff is hard! There. Am I unjinxed?

Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “Observe good faith and justice toward all nations. Cultivate peace and harmony with all.”

-George Washington

Editor, 5th District U.S. Rep. Susan Brooks has a record of supporting measures contrary to the interests of senior citizens. She supports the Budget for a Brighter American Future, which, over the next decade, would cut $537 billion from Medicare. It would raise Medicare’s eligibility age from 65 to 67, increase deductibles and replace Medicare’s guaranteed coverage with a flat-voucher payment system. According to the Congressional Budget Office, this would result in most Medicare recipients paying much higher premiums.

Brooks also voted for House Joint Resolution 2, which would change Social Security rules to require that benefits be paid only out of current-year receipts without drawing on the Social Security Trust Fund surplus, and to freeze Social Security rates regardless of benefit obligations. The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities estimates that Social Security benefits would be reduced by 17 percent.

Dee Thornton, Brooks’ opponent in the upcoming November election, will protect programs into which seniors have paid for decades. She supports maintaining and strengthening the Social Security and Medicare safety nets.

Vote for Dee Thornton on Nov. 6.

The fixer

VETCHECK PET URGENT CARE CENTER LOCATED IN FISHERS, IN FOR BOTH WELLNESS AND URGENT PET CARE NEEDS

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Last week, I looked back on our longtime handyman who became a good friend. When he passed in 2005 of cancer, I HUMOR wrote this: I once told Steve he was the greatest handyman east of the Mississippi. Steve said he could easily be the best handyman west of the Mississippi, also. I think he considered moving to Utah just to prove his point.

I can never replace Steve as a friend, but I do have to find another fix-it guy. Over the past year, as Steve’s condition worsened, my garage door fell apart, the molding on a kitchen cabinet peeled off, the toilet seat broke and the garbage disposal stopped working.

Because I was loyal to Steve and felt certain he would recover from his illness, I left things broken. Knowing him, I thought he’d be at my front door again very soon. Steve knew better. He was very practical and realistic about things. That’s why he was such a good handyman.

I will miss Steve chiding me for being totally useless. When Steve fixed something, he made it look easy.

Now that Steve is gone, my wife fears I may try to fix something without professional help.

“Can’t you call someone?” she asked the other day. “The hanging rod in my closet has been broken for a week.”

“Who am I going to call, Mary Ellen?”

“Dick, you know everyone. That’s what you do for a living. For example, don’t you know someone who taught his llamas to square dance?”

“They never miss a step.”

“And the man who eats earthworms for his daily protein?”

“I had dinner with his entire family.”

“And with all those people you have met, an entire computer file filled with talented individuals, you can’t find a handyman as good as Steve?”

It took more than 5,000 tomorrows for us to find another fix-it guy who could make our old house good as new, and then help us transition to our final nesting place. I don’t plan to ever fix anything. And that’s a promise that will never be broken.

How to cope with cancer Commentary by Jill Dodson A new cancer diagnosis can change your life and the lives of those around. Here are some tips for coping with cancer.

Take control DIAGNOSIS It’s common to feel overwhelmed with a new cancer diagnosis, but patients often feel better once they feel more in control of the situation and have a treatment plan in place.

Here’s what you can do to help patients and loved ones feel in control: • Gather information about the diagnosis from your care team and reliable websites.

• Communicate clearly with your medical team. Write questions down in advance of your appointments, bring someone with you and seek a second opinion if necessary.

• Don’t be afraid to ask family and friends for help and support.

• Treat yourself with kindness as you go through this journey.

• Be aware of benefits offered through your employer. Talk to your human resources department about disability and leave benefits and check if you

have critical illness or accident insurance. Encourage those who will be caring for you to do the same.

• Organize your medical bills. The financial impact of a cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming.

• Find a healthy outlet for your stress.

Build a support system Anxiety and depression are not uncommon when dealing with cancer. That is why a solid support system is critical. But where can you find support? Start with your medical provider and be open about how you are feeling and coping. This helps your medical provider connect you to resources, such as social workers, nurse navigators and support groups.

Finally, don’t overlook family and friends who offer to help. Remember, people like to feel needed. Whether it’s an offer to cook a meal or run an errand, learn to graciously accept support.

Jill Dodson is an oncology social worker at IU Health North Hospital.

Vintage Charm opens in Village

By Sara Baldwin Schatz sara@youarecurrent.com Nancy Allodi, owner of clothing-and-gift store Vintage Charm, is no stranger to launching a small busiMAIN STREET ness. Vintage Charm, at 130 S. Main Street in Zionsville, is her fifth location since starting the business in 2003.

The Zionsville store launched Oct. 4 and is already enjoying success.

“We had a great first three days of opening,” Allodi said. “We are very excited to be in the community. It’s such a great little town.”

Vintage Charm started as a home-based business selling mostly vintage goods, hence the name. When Allodi decided to open a storefront in LaGrange, Ill., she began offering new clothing, gift items and candles.

“We have evolved over the years,” Allodi said. “We are now 98 percent new but we display on vintage or mix in a few vintage items.”

In 2014, she decided to open additional stores. She now has five; three in Illinois suburbs of Chicago, one in Granger, Ind.,

and now the one in Zionsville.

“I kept it simple for quite a few years and now I’m expanding,” Allodi said.

Allodi’s niece, Lisa Wood, lives in nearby Traders Point. She noticed a vacancy on Main Street and mentioned it to Allodi.

Allodi, who has another niece managing her Granger store, said she saw promise in the two Indiana communities, but it also gave her a chance to connect with her nieces.

“It’s kind of becoming a family affair,” Wood said.

Akins directs Carmel Apprentice Theatre production of ‘The Addams Family’

editorial@youarecurrent.com The Actors Theatre of Indiana’s Fall Barn Bash is set from 6:30 to 11 p.m. Oct. 20 at Demaree Barn, 615 Starkey Rd., Zionsville Dwight Lightning and the Conch City AllStars will perform. There will be a pig roast, cowboy cocktails, Sun King beer and games.

ATI co-founders Judy Fitzpatrick, Don Farrell and Cynthia Collins collaborated on the following statement.

“We rely on the support of individuals who believe in the importance of live, professional theatre in Central Indiana. For ATI to continue to bring the high-quality productions and programs we are known for to Carmel and the surrounding areas, we need the support. We are so grateful to our patrons, sponsors and the foundations who believe in us. This event is a chance for people to invest in ATI, helping to ensure that we will always be here to engage, educate, entertain and enlighten our community from the most seasoned patron to the child experiencing theatre for the first time.”

For tickets, visit tinyurl.com/ATI-barnbash.

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com It’s not just “The Addams Family,” it’s director Maureen Akins’ family.

“We’ve become a family,” THEATER Akins said. “We’ve been practicing since the first of August and everyone has bonded and went down this journey together. We’ve really become a family. I call them my family.”

This is the Zionsville resident’s first turn at directing. The Carmel Apprentice Theatre presents the musical “The Addams Family” Oct. 19 to 28 at The Cat Theatre, 254 Veterans Way, Carmel.

The quirky characters are based on the 1960s situation comedy. The story centers on Wednesday Addams, all grown up, and fallen in love with a nice young man from a respectable family. Piper Williams, Carmel, is playing Wednesday.

“This is the biggest show they’ve had so far with cast members at this theater,” Akins said. “It’s a lot of people to put on stage, but we’re making it work.”

Akins said she was asked to direct when she was in “Murder on the Nile” in March.

Akins, who grew up in Zionsville, has acted in area theaters and Renaissance Fairs.

“I’ve been in a few shows in this theater and I’m a choreographer and a dancer,” Akins said.

Westfield resident Audrey Larkin played Lucy in “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown” in October 2017 in the Carmel Apprentice Theatre’s inaugural production. Then, Larkin served as director for “Murder on the Nile.”

Larkin said she wanted the role of Morticia when she auditioned.

“I’ve been challenged to dance quite a bit, which is always fun,” Larkin said. “And it sits right in the sweet spot in my voice.

These songs are really fun to sing.”

Jonathan Scoble, Carmel, is playing Gomez.

“My favorite part of Gomez is he is a

Spaniard and he gets to carry (and) dance with this tall glass of water (Larkin), and it’s working with great people,” said Scoble, who acted in “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown” and “Murder on the Nile.”

Traci White, Carmel, made her acting debut in “Murder on the Nile.”

“I couldn’t be more thrilled to be back here,” White said. “I just want to thank the The Cat owner Will Wood for bringing such a glorious thing to Carmel. It’s amazing.”

The Apprentice Theatre combines theater veterans with acting newcomers.

White plays Grandma Addams.

“It’s a super-fun role, she’s quirky,” White said.

White said she has attended theater shows for more than 30 years.

“I never thought about performing until

my dear, good friend Lisa (Williams) was part of the group,” White said. “I thought, ‘Why not (join), this is going to be the second half of my life.’”

Williams serves as the artistic director.

Layla Nazzal, a Carmel High School sophomore, plays a younger version of Wednesday.

“I’ve never acted before and I don’t have any lines in this play,” Nazzal said. “I’m a dancer and rhythmic gymnast.”

Shobha Rai, a Carmel resident, is playing a dancer and one of the ancestors.

“I’m from Nepal and I’ve had to learn dance from America and it’s new to me,” Rai said. “Our music and dance is totally different from here, so it’s a big challenge.”

They are cradled in double, blue corn soft tortillas. The most unique aspect to the tacos is the chicharron, or fried chicken skins.

The chicharron added an extra flavor and crackle. The tacos, however, were already bursting with flavor from a mild chile pesto, crumbled queso fresco and a tart bite from pickled red onions and cilantro. Lime wedges are served alongside.

‘Poppins’ helps Wheeler Mission

By Heather Lusk editorial@youarecurrent.com There’s more to the musical “Mary Poppins” than a magical nanny.

That’s the message Mandy THEATER Polster wants to convey. As volunteer director of Grace Church’s production of “Mary Poppins,” Polster said one of the show’s themes is healing broken relationships.

“If you look at the story of ‘Mary Poppins,’ there’s a lot of talk about the displacement in those relationships and needing a little bit of extra help,” Polster said. “If we look past the magic and spectacle that ‘Mary Poppins’ can be, there’s some really true and gritty relational needs and harmony that flow through the show.”

“Mary Poppins” runs Oct. 26 through Nov. 4. Grace Church is at 5504 E. 146th St. in Noblesville.

The story follows two children, Jane and Michael Banks, and their parents, whose focus is elsewhere. When nanny Mary Poppins arrives, she attempts to bring the family together and heal their relationship.

That aspect of the story is a reason Grace Church partnered with Wheeler Mission. A

Audience members can meet the cast and enjoy refreshments at a special Spoonful of Sugar tea after the Saturday morning performances. Tickets are $12 for the performance and an additional $5 for the tea.

Power posturing for ladder-climbing bosses

Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Do you want to hit the fast-forward button on your career? Do you want to collect underlings like GRAMMAR GUY baseball cards? If so, I suggest adopting a few fundamental power postures. This is all about making yourself look as big as possible. Wear as many jackets as possible; you’ll be sweaty, but your co-workers will fear you. Also, stand like you’re trying to scare away a bear in the forest.

My favorite power posture takes some work. Before anyone else gets into the office, make everyone else’s chair shorter than yours so you’ll look like a giant. It may take some MacGyver ingenuity to accomplish this, but you’re destined for greatness.

Do what it takes to literally rise above everyone else. Before you know it, they’ll all be your subordinates.

Just like it’s essential to view everyone at work as a subordinate, it’s also crucial to recognize a subordinate sentence clause when you see one. A subordinate, or de-

pendent clause, is a clause that can’t stand alone as a sentence, but it adds meaning to a sentence’s main clause. The main clause, which is independent, can stand on its own.

How about some examples?

I am going to work this morning.

This sentence stands on its own; however, that’s not all the information or meaning I intend to convey. Allow me to introduce a subordinate clause: I am going to work this morning if I can find my keys.

In this sentence, “if I can find my keys” not only doesn’t stand alone as a sentence, but it adds some important additional information into the sentence. This clause is a subordinate clause.

The word that introduces the subordinate clause itself is called a subordinator, which sounds like some kind of underwater Terminator knock-off movie. Common subordinators include because, since, if, although, while, before, after, unless and until. If your subordinate clause begins your sentence, always add a comma after the clause. Becoming familiar with these subordinators will make it easy for you to recognize subordinate clauses.

If you want that six-figure check, you’re going to have to tower over the mere mortal coworkers who either want to be you or date you. Just like subordinate clauses, they can’t stand on their own apart from the proximity of your sheer awesomeness.

Before you know it, they’ll be re-naming all the Forbes lists after you.

Restored Great Room of Catherine Palace in St. Petersburg, Russia. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Russia’s Catherine Palace Commentary by Don Knebel Catherine Palace, one of the most popular sites in St. Petersburg, Russia, is a monument to 18th-century extravagance and 20th-century skill.

TRAVEL In 1717, Czar Peter I gave his second wife Catherine a piece of land 20 miles south of St. Petersburg, which he had founded in 1703. Catherine erected a summer palace on the marshy site, which became known as Tsarskoye Selo (Tsar’s Village). In 1741, Elizabeth, the daughter of Peter and Catherine, became empress of Russia. Deciding that her mother’s palace was far too modest, Elizabeth, who reportedly owned 18,000 dresses, demolished it and started over. When completed in 1756, what became known as Catherine Palace stretched 1,000 feet from end to end, its blue stucco exterior ornamented with 200 pounds of pure gold. The lavish interior rooms featured walls with gilded rococo carvings and ceilings covered with magnificent paintings. The 10,000-squarefoot Great Room, used for balls and state

dinners, extended the width of the palace.

Because of its large windows, mirrors and 696 candles, people called it the Bright Room. When Catherine the Great became empress in 1762, she said the palace resembled whipped cream and rebuilt parts of it to reflect her neo-Classical tastes.

During the siege of Leningrad, as St. Petersburg was then known, Nazi troops used Catherine Palace as a barracks. During their retreat in 1944, the troops set fire to the palace, destroying much of it, including the Great Room, which collapsed. Relying on historic sketches, the Russian government restored many of the rooms, with the some of the funds coming from a benefit concert held in the Great Room by Elton John. The meticulously restored rooms reopened to the public in 2003.
