2012 Fall ZEF Grants

Zionsville Education Foundation Executive Director Tracy Phillips, left to right, and ZEF Board members Gary Coval and Bob Spoonmore present a grant for elementary robotics to Pleasant View Elementary Principal Chad Smith and Dan Layton, PVE Assistant Principal. (Submitted photo)

By Derek Fisher • derek@youarecurrent.com The Zionsville Education Foundation delivered grants totaling more than $34,000 to teachers throughout the district on Oct. 15.

The 11 grants awarded focus on an interdisciplinary approach to teaching, reading and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) in addition to music education and a community-wide opportunity to learn drug and alcohol avoidance skills.

“The projects selected by our community grants committee and approved by our Board reflect the continuing commitment of Zionsville educators to provide Zionsville students with innovative learning opportunities,” said ZEF Board President Mike MacLean.

During the grant process, a committee comprised of community members, ZEF Board members and educators reviews each grant proposal received. The committee then makes a recommendation to the ZEF Board, which awards grants based on the available funds.

Members of the 2012-2013 Grants Committee included Tammy Campbell, Mike Coussens, Missy Higgs, Mandy Keller, Teresa Meyer, Tracy Nasser, Matt Tucker and Brant Wright.

The principal representative is Kristin Landis, principal of Stonegate Elementary School.

“The Zionsville Education Foundation is equipping teachers to do their jobs under the new national Common Core standards,” said Theresa Knipstein Meyer, a

Peace through Yoga opens second studio

By Derek Fisher • derek@youarecurrent.com

Patrick’s reopens – Community members gathered on Oct. 8 to cut the ribbon for the re-opening of Patrick’s Kitchen and Drinks, 175 S. Main St. The restaurant had been closed since a fire in June. (Submitted photo) Chamber Meeting – The Zionsville Chamber of Commerce will be having its Annual Meeting on Nov. 28 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at Hopwood Cellars, 12 E. Cedar Street.

Next month, Peace through Yoga will be opening a second Zionsville location at 575 S. Main St. Sally Brown Bassett, owner of Peace through Yoga, says, “Yoga continues to be one of the fastest growing activities in the United States. After 10 years, we are thrilled to be opening a second studio, especially in Zionsville.”

Bassett Peace through Yoga opened its first studio in late 2002 in the heart of Eagle Creek Park.

The studio offers international yoga retreats mixed with adventure and service to destinations like Costa Rica and India. Peace through Yoga’s 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training has had many graduates in the last few years filling the need for yoga in the different parts of Indiana.

“In the fast-paced society that we live in, yoga truly is a way to find peace, balance and focus,” continued Bassett.

Approximately 30 different classes will be offered weekly at the studio, including Vinyasa, Power Yoga, Beginners’, Slow Flow, Gentle, Kundalini, Meditation, Yoga for Stress Reduction and Hot Yoga as well as special workshops. Yoga for kids and teens will also be on the schedule at this location.

Peace through Yoga’s grand opening will be Nov. 10. Classes will be offered that morning, with an open house from 1 to 4 p.m.

My dog is a shedding device Commentary by Ward Degler

My dog must have magical powers. That’s the only way I can explain the amount of fur he sheds and still has a full coat.

To start with, Brutie is a long-haired dog in keeping with his border collie ancestry. He does other border collie things as well. He will sit and stare at you until you want to scream. And he seems to have been born with a knack for herding.

Early evenings he will find me and herd me into the family room so we can watch television. I don’t think he has any favorite programs because once my wife and I are ensconced on the sofa, he goes to sleep.

He loves it when the grandkids come over. He herds them from room to room. Outside, he will herd them from one part of the yard to another.

When they grow up and go to school, alas, I may have to buy some sheep.

Now, about the shedding. Some dogs shed and leave a fine coating of fur on the carpet. When my dog sheds, you are hard pressed to find the carpet.

Layers upon layers of fur fall from his pelt. Clumps of fur float along the baseboards. He leaves a trail of fur whenever he walks through a room.

I brush him daily and get a ball of fur the size of a volleyball. I attack him weekly with a doodad called a furminator, designed to thin his coat.

The ball of fur from that is the size of a basketball. I get enough fur each week to make a new dog.

Any normal dog shedding this much would be as bald as a Mexican hairless. But Brutie stays resplendent in his luxurious fur coat. I don’t know how he does it?

It’s gotta be magic.

Ward Degler lives in Zionsville with his wife and dog. He is author of “The Dark Ages of My Youth … and Times More Recent.” You can contact him at wdegler@comcast.net.

Get thee to thy happy place Commentary by Donna Monday At last! I can write. I’ve a paper and pen and my “office” at the library...

Not that I don’t have an office at home. I have a sweet little room I call my garden library. My computer desk sits on a wall in front of a window facing west. The view is to die for. The woods are ablaze with golds and scarlets.

Maybe that’s the problem, a distracting view. But I doubt it. The problem is that I refuse to sit at a computer and write. I need a pen, paper and a place – almost any place away from home. I once wrote a beautiful “October” column in my car in the driveway of Salem United Methodist Church (by the way, if you haven’t time or gas money for Brown County, just take Kissel Road to Salem United Methodist Church).

I’ve written columns on napkins, envelopes and grocery sacks. My children (you remember Sparkplug and Rainbow) learned before first grade not to throw away any paper with pen or pencil marks. Marks that look like scribbles might well be my high school shorthand.

Yes, I took high school shorthand. I have the 120-word pin to prove it.

Betty Goodloe got a pin for 200 words per minute. She’d have done more than that, but that was as fast as Mr. Martin could talk.

But I digress. When I was diagnosed with a scary illness, my son gave me sage advice: “Mom,” he said, “go to your happy places.”

So here I am, in my official office: A comfy chair in the southeast corner of Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Library, top floor. It’s one of my happy places. So is Main Street. So is the Ohio River.

I’m lucky. I have lots of happy places. So do you. Life is short. Do yourself a favor. Go visit those places – soon and often. Sparkplug was right.

Crystal visionar�

COMMUNITY

By Derek Fisher •derek@youarecurrent.com By now, the story is somewhat well-known in the Indianapolis area: A trio of Carmel men with varied backgrounds teams up, purchases an abandoned factory, rehabilitates it and ends up hosting the biggest party of this past February’s Super Bowl week.

There is, however, much more to the tale – in backstory, in present happenings and in what the future holds.

In short, Crystal Catering, headed up by T.K. Nelson, is back in business after a nearly five-year hiatus. Nelson once worked for Jack Bayt, Crystal founder, and the two paired up with former Baltimore and Indianapolis Colt Gary Padjen late last year to create the Crane Bay, Indianapolis’ most unique event venue.

It is there the Super Bowl-adjacent Rolling Stone / Bacardi Bash was held, and the 23,000 square-foot facility provided the second location for Nelson’s new iteration of Crystal; the Fountains in Carmel was the first.

What does this have to do with Zionsville? Simply put, there is now a third Crystal Catering extension: The Sanctuary, 75 N. Main St. Crystal enters the picture on the heels of the departure of the facilities’ previous caterer, Ghyslain. A separate chef has been hired to head up The Sanctuary’s bistro, but Crystal will handle the rest.

Nelson, for one, is ecstatic about the development.

Current in Zionsville: How did the new relationship with The Sanctuary come about?

T.K. Nelson: “It just kind of came to us. Ghyslain was no longer going to be doing the bistro or the catering there, and they didn’t have the capacity to do the catering themselves. They had a recommendation to call us and we went over there and looked at the facility – I had been there once, but that was just to look at the gallery because I do have some of (proprietor Nancy Noel’s) artwork in my house. It pretty much was done in a couple of weeks.”

CIZ: How do both parties stand to benefit from this relationship?

TKN: “One of our focuses is unique venues, and that’s why we wanted to get involved with The Sanctuary to begin with – it’s a unique, elegant facility. We want places we can showcase what we can do. The Sanctuary is obviously one of those. To do things just 12 | October 30, 2012

in a banquet room doesn’t always show what you can do. It fits what we want to do as a company and how we want to grow.”

CIZ: What has Crystal’s involvement been thus far? Have things ramped up yet?

TKN: “We’ve been involved in three events so far, the most recent being Masquerade on Main. We’ve got three events scheduled in November and five or six in December so we’re busy already. It’s growing very well and we’re excited about it because it blends in so well with what we do.”

CIZ: What attracted you to The Sanctuary and talk about how great a fit this is.

TKN: “We have the right product, the right service, the right tradition and reputation to be there. They do about 50 events a year and want to grow it to about 70, and the work Nancy has done in there to really beautify that place is fantastic. Of course, with all her artwork it just makes it better. There’s a lot of functional space and we’ve been very happy to be involved there.”

Joining Nelson in his Zionsville venture will be executive chef Matt Scwartz, a former and once-again Crystal employee, and Maryanne Hawkins, who handles logistics alongside Sanctuary staff. Both show Nelson’s enthusiasm for the move.

CIZ: What have your impressions been thus far of The Sanctuary?

Matt Schwartz: “I think it’s a great opportunity. It helps us expand our horizons and what we want to do, as well as reach out to different parts of the city.”

Maryanne Hawkins: “It’s an absolutely beautiful facility. Any bride who’s getting married here will love it. It’s very pretty.”

Tellingly perhaps, it is Bayt, who still wields some oversight over the Crystal name, who sums up the endeavor succinctly.

“I try and come up with unique venues,” he said. “I was confident enough in the job (Nelson) was doing at The Fountains that we did the second facility (Crane Bay), and then they slipped the third one in on me. (The Sanctuary) is a small venue but very nice – elegant, actually.

I’ve always liked the facility; TK and the team Bayt have been doing a really good job.”

Life lines It is our position that eliminating one’s land phone line may not be in our best interests. Although this is a growing trend, one element of not having a land line is how it affects calls to emergency services.

Calls from cell phones are automatically directed to the nearest cell tower geographically. A call from a suburban or rural area conceivably could be directed to a tower in a neighboring county. Since first responders have designated areas to cover, a responder in southern Madison County could not respond to a call from northern Hamilton County. The time that it takes to redirect the call to the appropriate personnel could be the difference between life and death.

Additionally, those who have moved and decided to retain cell numbers may want to reconsider that decision as well. Not only could an emergency call be directed to the wrong tower, but the old, likely out-of-area code number will not provide the agency with good information on the location of the emergency.

Land lines may be old-fashioned, but they do automatically go to the appropriate emergency service agency.

Trust me

Commentary by Terry Anker

Who do we trust? Do we trust our spouses?

Our kids? Our parents? Ourselves? Or, do we trust strangers? Experts? Journalists? Government? This simple question has vexed human kind since we could first consider our own existence. Perhaps it harkens back to time in the cave when we most had to rely upon one another. If we chose a weak or irresponsible member to our clan, we’d likely not survive very long in the harsh reality of a sabertoothed world. So, we developed mechanisms to measure the veracity and reliability of the promised commitment of others. The most successful of us became acutely aware of deceit and chose to align with those more worthy of our confidence. The trust in us of others became crucial to our flourishing. Even now, centuries later, political candidates vie to convince us of their genuineness in a desire to advance their own agenda.

But trust affects not only the trusted but also the beneficiary of that bond. Isn’t one

who expects, demands or even profits from the trust of another in turn responsible to be trustworthy themselves? For example, isn’t one who expects honesty and integrity from their own children creating a compact whereby they are held to exhibit that same honesty and integrity themselves?

Of course, one can only be held to account for our own actions – we are not our brother’s keepers. Yet if we are honorable, can’t we expect honor from others. And if we choose to prevaricate, shouldn’t we expect others to practice treachery?

Even then, we are never sure of another’s uprightness. Perhaps this reality roots the maxim, “in God we trust, all other must pay cash.” People are flawed and truth requires difficult choices. But even in a realm lacking a carnivorous threat, can we hope to survive without trust?

Current in Zionsville

While we're feeling just a bit more confident about the outcome of the presidential election on Nov. 6, we still strongly believe Republican challenger Mitt Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts, has squandered an opportunity to blow up incumbent President Obama's oftrepeated stump speech that goes like this: “We can't go back to the failed policies of the past.”

Actually, we agree wholeheartedly with that, but not in the way of which Obama would approve.

You see, we believe our president has become the new George W. Bush, doubling down on failed policies that simply don't work. In other words, we fervently believe Romney should say that he agrees with the president in that we should not go back to the failed policies of the past. Those would be Obama's own policies, if you were wondering.

••• Musings from the third presidential debate: Did it strike anyone else that Obama seemed edgy and highly agitated, while Romney seemed more “presidential?” … Debate go-between Bob Schieffer of CBS News was the best of the three moderators in this series. And he stayed awake! Our opinion: Candy Crowley need not apply again. Jim Lehrer did a mostly credible job. Meanwhile, we’d vote for Ann Coulter, but the debate commission wouldn’t like her. At all.

She’s not part of the liberal mainstream media.

And she’s funny!

Formula a savior in nursing situations Commentary by Danielle Wilson Every once in a while I feel the need to rant.

This is one of those times. In the hotseat today– lactation consultants. And before you hang me out to dry, let me state that, of course, breast milk is awesome. Go breast milk! Not so awesome are the pushy, condescending, self-righteous women who make you feel like a crackhead mama when you choose to use formula.

Case in point: my twin sister. She is a firsttime mom who lives away from family. Her newborn daughter was constantly fussing and would never sleep for more than an hour or so.

She still wet her diapers but didn’t seem to be thriving like the books say a little one should.

So she did what any conscientious parent would do and visited the pediatrician. The doctor was disappointed in my niece’s lack of weight gain and recommended that my sister supplement her nursing with formula. He also suggested that she rent a breast pump so that she could see exactly how much milk she was producing.

Worrying that she had been starving her baby and with post-partum hormones raging, my sister drove 40minutes to a lactation company to obtain the pump. Was she met with compassion? Validation? Encouragement? No. With a crying baby in her arms, my sister was subjected to a lengthy lecture on the unique advantages of breast milk and the destructive repercussions of Similac. This woman flat out told her that she

should ignore the advice of a medical professional and “just try harder.”

Are you kidding me? How dare she! How dare she cause my sister, a new mother, to feel inadequate! Listen up, ladies. Breast feeding doesn’t always work. It’s not always easy and I firmly believe it is NOT always the best option for moms. I tried it with my first baby, and after two weeks of crippling sleep deprivation, I finally decided to let my husband lend a hand by taking a night feeding. The supplementing literally saved my sanity and probably our marriage.

Babies two through four began receiving at least one formula bottle a day from the get-go so that I could be a happier (and, consequently, better) parent. And guess what? All of our children met every milestone on time and have been extremely healthy thus far. (Of course, that could also be because we chose to have them immunized, but that’s a whole ’nother column.)

I am just so tired of hearing women criticize other women because they choose to use formula. Enfamil does not contain arsenic, people! It’s simply a healthy alternative to breast milk and in many circumstances, a lifesaver. And that’s my rant. Peace out.

Mail enhancement

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

Happy Holidays, everyone! I know we’re still two months away from Santa’s visit, but no one told my mailman, or the companies that have already sent me over a dozen catalogs with giftgiving ideas. Can you guess which of the following items are legit and which ones I made up?

Read on to find out.

REMOTE-CONTROL CANDLES: What a dreamy idea. Instead of an aromatic wax candle to set a romantic mood, you dig around in the sofa cushions looking for a remote to click on the artificial illumination. The ad says the LED lights last 100,000 hours, which is more snuggling than I had in mind for the rest of my life.

‘NO POOP’ SIGN: This nifty lawn ornament is a large silhouette of a dog leaving a deposit on your front lawn. The word NO is printed in big gold letters on the squatting canine, a warning to people walking their pooches that your grass area is off limits for their pets’ daily business.

Of course, since dogs can’t read, the sign makes Rover think this is exactly the place he’s supposed to go.

DOUBLE-BARRELED MARSHMALLOW CROSSBOW: Get it before the Democrats pass toy gun control legislation. Completely harmless, unless marshmallows are toasted and contain a hot sticky center. Not recommended at airport checkpoints or diabetes support group meetings.

THE SIX-FOOT-TALL TEDDY BEAR: This lifelike stuffed bear is the perfect gift for any child, unless he or she just watched a story on the news about a lone hiker in Yosemite National Park who was mauled by a grizzly.

SEASHELL TOILET SEATS: Easy to attach, this decorative commode replacement has preserved sea creatures embedded inside the Plexiglas frame. And what’s more comforting than the very thought that your bare bottom is about to make contact with shells, seahorses and starfish?

THE REMOTE-CONTROL TARANTULA: Perfect for bullies, sadists, and practical jokers with absolutely no sense of decency. Comes in black, jet black, ebony and midnight blue.

HANDS-FREE HAIR REGENERATOR: This device fits over your cranium and then zaps you with rejuvenating lasers, because if there’s one thing that will make hair grow (claims the manufacturer), it’s a little photo-bio-stimulation.

The device is 100% hands-free, which allows you to scratch your head, wondering why you blew $700.00 on this ridiculous item.

Guess what? These are all actual products.

Maybe you’ll get lucky Christmas morning.

Robertson, Utnage win Halloween Writing Contest

By Robert Herrington robert@youarecurrent.com

Lindsey Robertson and Ashley Utnage have been named the youth and adult division winners in the second Halloween Writing Contest sponsored by Current Publishing.

Youth Division Winner – Ashley Utnage Ten-year-old Ashley, a Fishers resident, said creative costumes are her favorite thing about Halloween.

“I make it or by accessories,” she said. “I’m going to be a cowgirl with one of my friends (this year).”

Utnage Ashley’s topic center on proper etiquette when wearing costumes while out trick-or-treating.

“I was brainstorming one day and had a really cool idea,” she recalled. “This story has a lesson.”

Ashley enjoys reading magical adventures and added her own interesting twist of Halloween night trick-or-treaters.

“Adding a magical spell would be a cool twist to it,” she said.

Ashley also has written her own book, Talent Trouble, about a kid who likes playing his musical instrument but isn’t any good and ends up winning the local talent show.

“I really like writing stories,” said the St. Louis de Montfort fifth-grader. “All the kids in my class know I write the longest stories.”

Adult Division Winner – Lindsey Robertson What a difference a year makes. Robertson came across the inaugural Halloween writing contest last year.

“Cursed? I don’t believe you.”The wife just laughed.

The wife was up all night creating the perfect spell. Finally, it was complete! Halloween was here!

Priscilla’s Pumpkins

By Lindsey Robertson

Priscilla was a serial gardener. The landscape around her home was the picture of perfection: manicured lawn, freshly mulched beds, trimmed hedges. A yard no weed dare take root in. A yard all the more impressive because she maintained it single handed. She had been widowed some years before and the neighbors said gardening was therapeutic for her.

Priscilla’s horticultural pride was the vegetable patch behind the house, which contained the epitome of a pumpkin vine. The plant produced a single, perfectly proportioned pumpkin each year. Priscilla was as well known in the neighborhood for her annual pumpkin carving as for her gardening prowess.

Her pumpkins never suffered the indecency 16 | October 30, 2012

of being hallowed; instead the pumpkin was left whole with intricate designs etched into the outer flesh. Sometimes the designs reflected events in Priscilla’s life, other times the spirit of the holiday.

Several years ago there had been her late husband’s portrait, followed by a knife, a wrinkled human hand, then a raven, a cat, a trowel, and last year was her dachshund, Noodle.

On Halloween, the un-carved pumpkin sat on Priscilla’s porch. She could not decide on what it should be. The first pumpkin had grown the year Jack died. No decision was needed that year as Jack’s face was already on the pumpkin when she picked it off the vine. The face had come as a shock— Jack’s body had never been found.

Priscilla concluded the Jack pumpkin was a malicious prank and was relieved the next year when a plain pumpkin grew in. She’d cut the pumpkin off the vine and driven a knife in near the stem, intending to turn it into a proper Jack-o-Lantern.

“I wrote the story then but I didn’t have Internet and didn’t mail it before the deadline,” she said.

When she saw this year’s notice, Robertson found her Robertson story, made a few changes and submitted it. While she has done creative writing in the past, this is the first writing contest the 29-year-old Noblesville has won.

“I was aiming for something unique – not another haunted cemetery story,” she said.

“I was trying to go for something a little different.”

Decorations and pumpkin carving (the focus of her story) are what Robertson enjoys most about the October holiday.

“I’m a grown adult that still decorates the house for Halloween,” she said.

warned you,” he said, hiding a grin.

The old couple pulled into the driveway, and Robert hid behind a tree. He was scared they would get mad that everyone stole the candy.

“Where did all of these pumpkins come from?” said the husband, clearly confused.

The wife just smiled and said, “You’re tired. You need rest.”

After the old man went inside, the woman walked over to Robert with the candy. He was frightened.

“It wasn’t my fault. I tried to warn them.”

“You did the right thing, so I am rewarding you.

Thanks.”

She handed over the gigantic candy basket with a warm smile on her face.

Every Halloween, there’s someone who has a sign that says “Take one”. Every Halloween, there are kids who don’t make good decisions. But every year, there’s someone who does the right thing.

Moral: Do what is asked and you shall be rewarded.

The knife had vanished from her hand and the image of the blade appeared on the pumpkin’s surface. The following year she made the mistake of touching the top of the pumpkin. Angered by the loss of her hand, she had attempted to remove the plant, but it wouldn’t budge or succumb to any poison. Leaving a pumpkin on the vine was not an option, as some unfortunate animal wound up on the pumpkin’s flesh. Last year it had been Noodle.

As evening approached, Priscilla made her way to the porch clutching a bowl of candy. She lost her footing on the uneven planks and the candy flew into the yard. Priscilla braced herself against the fall with her only hand. Her head came to a stop inches above the pumpkin. Then, with a sickening crack, her wrist gave way completely.

While trick-or-treaters traipsed across Priscilla’s lawn in search of candy, their parents admired the pumpkin on the porch. The terrified expression on Priscilla’s self-portrait was alarmingly life-like.

Finding the right spot to party Tailgaters generally park in the same spot, every game, next to the same people. They like it that way. Some universities, such as Penn State, encourage this by assigning every space a number so that strangers really don’t have a chance to park next to regular tailgaters. Some colleges, like Northwestern and Indiana, have lots where they separate the louder student tailgate parties far away from other fans. Even pro teams have private lots for big spenders. This way the ambiance of any given tailgate lot should remain constant for its regulars with no big surprises.

Now imagine that a stranger shows up in your reserved parking lot with a huge, loud, industrial generator that has no muffler. As this person sets up huge speakers and begins to raise the noise level by playing rock music, his entourage gathers and starts to consume large quantities of beer. This could change the mood of everyone in that lot who were used to quiet upscale tailgating. This happened to us at a recent game. It wasn’t appreciated. Several people complained to the police. Tempers were raised.

A word to the wise is to have consideration for others who are near you. If you find yourself in an area where the tailgaters frown on your idea of a party, it might be good for you to move to a

spot away from the crowd.

Here’s a recipe for a quiet adult tailgate party to start off your day of socializing. It’s for a great salsa that is also heart healthy. It’s called Kiwi Salsa.

Ingredients: 2 Kiwis peeled and diced; 1 small red onion chopped; 1 chopped red bell pepper; 1 clove of garlic (crushed); 1/3 cup fresh cilantro, chopped; 2 tablespoon lemon juice; 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes Preparation: Combine all ingredients in a bowl and serve on endive, baked chips or quartered pitas.

Safety Not Guaranteed • R, 85 minutes Commentary by Chris Lloyd In addition to being one of my favorite films 2012, “Safety Not Guaranteed” also nabs the title of Best Movie Nobody’s Seen. This tiny indie came and went from theaters quickly but inspired plenty of passion among the few who bought tickets.

This quirky black comedy/drama is about a trio of journalists sent to check out a cryptic help-wanted ad for a companion to travel through time. “Safety not guaranteed. I have only done this once before,” it concludes.

Aubrey Plaza, best known for TV’s “Parks and Recreation,” plays Darius, a cynical intern looking not so much for her big break as something to break the monotony. She finds it in Kenneth (Mark Duplass), the odd but oddly charming fellow behind the ad. Paranoid and defensive, he

slowly starts to let his guard down and a nascent romance begins to take form.

Do people in this story really travel through time? I won’t tell you, not only to save the surprise but also because it’s not really germane to the success of this film. “Safety Not Guaranteed” does not dazzle us with sci-fi hocus-pocus, rather studies what effect the possibility of its existence has on a small group of sharply-drawn characters.

What a daffy, dark, joyous ride.

DOUGH

Business

Getting productivity out of creating culture Commentary by CJ McClanahan In a world where everyone is struggling to differentiate themselves, most leaders agree that they’ve got to figure out how to get the most out of our team. You probably ask yourself the following questions regularly: • How can I get more productivity out of my staff?

• What is the best way to bring a new person up to speed?

• How can I keep a “bad apple” from influencing the rest of the team?

I guarantee you that there are hundreds, if not thousands, of books available that deal with each of these topics. In addition, I am certain that most of the solutions discussed in these books are viable and relevant.

However, because I know that you don’t like to read all that much, I’ll suggest a simpler solution. Before you’re able to get more out of your team, you need to develop the foundation upon which all of their performance is judged. You’ve got to build a great culture.

This is hard work and most companies pay very little attention to culture because it’s difficult to measure.

However, we’ve all been part of a rotten culture that is characterized by high turnover, unhappy customers and slow growth.

So, how do you do it? I recommend a three

step process.

• Define your Culture - Decide what is really important to your organization and get it down on paper. What are the rules (e.g. – we respect our coworkers, etc.) that should govern behavior?

• Get Commitment from the Team – Have every member of the team review your culture statement and create a large poster that each team member can sign. Hang this poster somewhere that employees and customers can easily see it.

• Live you Culture – As the leader, it is up to you to reinforce this culture every single day. Refer to your culture in meetings, memos and any other opportunities to have to interact with your staff.

If you are interested in making a lasting and meaningful change in your company, make it priority to invest in your culture. The benefits will be worth the effort.

As with most things in life, the solution is simple. All you need to do is execute.

Grammar Guy

Is ‘alright’ all right?

Commentary by Jordan Fischer Question from Jeanne Flanders: I enjoy your commentaries. They bring memories of English classes during the 1950s with Mr. Eiler.

Mr. Eiler had been my mother’s English teacher in the 1930s.

Mr. Eiler had a list of words written on the black board that were not acceptable. If a student used one of his no-no words on any homework, that paper received an automatic goose egg. As the year progressed, the list of no-no words grew longer. At the top of his list was alright. Using alright was all wrong.

Answer: I’ve received a couple of letters about the word “alright” recently. Some of them pointed out I’ve even slipped and used it myself a few times. Thankfully, my wonderful readers were on stand by to correct my error. I’m glad they did, as it highlights an important tenet of good grammar: Use of poor grammar should be pointed out and ridiculed as publicly and humiliatingly as possible, especially when the offender has the hubris to write a weekly column about it.

Just kidding.

But on to “alright,” which is, as you may have guessed by now, anything but all right. “Alright” is part of a growing list of colloquialisms which

has snuck its way into everyday usage. Other words on the list include “irregardless,” “anyways” and, shudder, “like” used as a conjunction. These words are so commonly (mis)used, in fact, that Microsoft Word includes them in its dictionary, save for “irregardless.”

Now, as grammarians, we must leave room for the language to grow, and it should be noted that “alright” has its defenders. Those in its corner say it has gained a colloquial distinction from “all right.” “All right,” they argue, signifies that something is proper or agreeable, whereas “alright” signifies that something is average or simply acceptable. In that case, you might say a perfectly laid out table is all right in preparation for guests to arrive, but the lukewarm coffee you end up serving them is “alright.” I wouldn’t necessarily say that, mind you, but some might.

At any rate, dear readers, please do not hesitate to nudge me back onto the path of proper grammar should you see me stray. It is only together that we achieve perfection, after all. Just be gentle about it, all right?

Adding a wine cellar in the basement Commentary by Larry Greene

ORIGINAL BASEMENT: This home is located in the Laurelwood subdivision on the west side of Carmel. The current owner has lived in the home for 17 years and the house was built in 1991. While most of the basement was already finished, there was an unfinished area that provided room for the addition of a wine cellar.

WHY BUILD A WINE CELLAR: The owner had been storing cases of wine in the corner of the unfinished utility room. “We have developed an interest in wine over the last 10 years. We visit Italy a lot and have begun buying wine over there. We had some rough racking in the basement, but it was not organized.”

WINE STORAGE VS. TASTING TABLE: “At first we were going to have a tasting room built, but we realized that we would not be drinking wine in the basement so we made it into just a wine cellar.”

ARCHITECTURAL DETAILS: The design called for the room to be framed out at roughly 10’ x 10’ and includes room for 1,100 bottles of wine. The room includes mahogany wine racking and trim with mahogany wood paneling on

the walls. The door to the room includes 48” insulated mahogany double doors. The ceiling is covered with mahogany wood panels, trim and crown molding.

LIGHTING: The room includes new Xenon under cabinet accent lighting along with new recessed can lights on dimmer switches.

DISPLAY CABINET: The back wall includes a base cabinet with a quartz countertop and backsplash featuring stacked mosaic stone tile under an arched valance. The floor tile is stone tile laid in a herringbone installation pattern.

FAVORITE FEATURES: The owner commented on her favorite part. “The wine cellar is something we really wanted - it is so nice to have everything organized now. We can easily see what we have, and the area is much more functional and beautiful. It is the best room in the house!”
