PENDLETON — The tricounty special education program that has served local students for more than 40 years will dissolve next year.

Area school boards

the South Madison Community School Corp. said services for students will not change for the 2016-17 school year.

South Madison administrators sent parents and guardians a letter Monday, April 4, stating when the co-op is officially dissolved on July 1, 2017, the transi-

tion will be smooth and the same quality of services will continue to be provided for local students.

The co-op has provided staff, training and other support services to students from area school corporations in Hancock, Madison and more recently, Shelby counties since 1973. This year, it served five school districts and about 2,500 students.

Lapel ups meter fines

The co-op’s future has been in question since Greenfield-Central officials announced plans to withdraw from the partnership in December 2014, citing a need for more in-house control over staff and programming. The school district launched its own special education program this school year.

ENDLETON — Four months after the man Connie Ake called “my husband, my exhusband and my life love” died unexpectedly at home in Pendleton, she is working to ensure he gets the final resting place she said he deserves.

Connie said Ed “Danny” Ake collapsed and died from a massive heart attack Dec. 10 at age 68.

Ake, 67, is arranging to have Danny buried in Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia, something the two had discussed for some time.

“He was an honorable man and deserves to buried in Arlington where (a) Vietnam memorial is,” she said.

Danny served in the U.S. Army from Dec. 28 1966, until Dec. 7, 1967. He was a Specialist 4 with the 2nd Infantry Division Advisory Team.

He was trained in communications, but it was for his actions on Aug. 12, 1967, that Danny earned the Silver Star for Gallantry in Action. The Silver Star Award is the third-highest military decoration for valor awarded to members of the U.S. Armed Forces.

LAPEL — Lapel Town Council approved increased fines for meter tampering and gave its initial nod to banning tobacco products in local public recreational areas.

The council passed the new meter tampering ordinance, which raises fines for tampering with utility meters from $50 to $125 for the first violation and $250 for additional violations, during its April 7 meeting.

Councilman Tony Pearson was the lone voice opposing the increase during the first reading at the March 17 meeting and during the final reading Thursday, April 7. Pearson earlier said he didn’t want to increase financial burdens on residents who were facing hard times.

The council also gave its initial approval to a tobacco ban in the parks; the ordinance is set for a second reading at the April 21 council meeting.

Park Board President Bill Hutton called for the action in March. He said the parks would be using money from a federal grant as development of the new complex on the southwest side of town continues.

Part of the requirements for government grants are prohibitions on the use of any tobacco products, e-cigarettes and other smokingor nicotine-related materials, according to Hutton.

Track senior is ‘the epitome of hard work’

By ROB HUNT ptnews@ptlpnews.com

LAPEL — Track runners are solo performers, always trying to better their times and set personal records.

They are also teammates, working with other runners and athletes to score more points for the team.

And some are members of a team within the overall team.

Senior Lapel sprinter Tera Addington fits the bill of a good teammate to the letter. Not only does she work extremely hard

to better herself, but she also is there for her fellow Bulldogs and is willing to sacrifice for the good of the team.

Her favorite event is the 4x100-meter relay, which set a school record last year and returns intact from last season’s 11th-place finish at regional.

Addington is joined by fellow senior Brandi Miller and juniors Samantha Voegele and Tylor Wyant, on a team that needed a little verbal boost prior to last year’s Madison County meet.

“I had to pep them up,” Addington said. “We were nervous because Anderson was a second better than us. So we beat them by four seconds in the county meet.”

Addington would like to return to the regional with the 4x100 team as well as run the 100 and 200 events.

With that goal in mind, she has been a fixture in the weight room and on the track this offseason.

“I started working out in the summer,” she said.

Senior Lapel sprinter Tera Addington starts her favorite event, the 4x100meter relay.

The relay team set a school record in 2015 and returns intact from last season’s 11thplace finish at regional.

Vacations with kids can be the best

Com m en ta ry

Kicking the cheeseburger habit

A

s I was standing on the sidewalk after a long day of visiting an amusement park, my feet throbbed in pain from the many miles we had walked.

We had logged about 21,500 steps, or 9.5 miles, during our 14-hour journey exploring one of the world’s top amusement vacation spots.

While there were far too many people, and the day was way too long, as it came to an end — with fireworks overhead — I smiled as we wrapped up one of the best days I’d had in a long while.

It wasn’t being at what some consider “the happiest place on earth” that made me smile so much. It was the happiness I saw on my nephews’ faces that made the day so special.

If I’d had my druthers, I’d have picked being on a quiet beach, reading a book, just chilling as an ideal way to spend my spring vacation. Sometimes, though, it’s good to let others pick and then sit back and watch them enjoy, while I got to bask in their happiness.

It makes a person realize just how much better it is to do things for others, particularly kids, than it is for yourself.

While it’s not always possible to plan a big vacation for others, it’s always easy to make decisions each day putting others, particularly kids, first.

Most good parents do it on a daily basis. So do sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, teachers and mentors.

What a great feeling it is to be the person creating a smile on a child’s face.

My parents taught me this. They sacrificed so many things, things they would have liked to do, by putting me and my sisters’ needs and wants first above what they might have liked to do.

Thinking back, I can hear my mom saying to my dad, “They’ll only be little once, so let’s do it.” That was her motto when making decisions about what to do in life as she raised five kids, and I try to follow it.

I know one day, far too soon, the kids in my life will be grown and on their

I

have a dining problem.

Not an eating problem. A problem with the things I choose to eat at restaurants.

Most of my healthierthan-thou friends will no doubt shout, “See! I knew it! He’s finally hit rock bottom, and he’s ready to seek help!”

Not even close.

I don’t have a problem; everyone else has the problem. (“See? Classic denial.

‘It’s everyone’s else’s fault but mine.’ Let’s stage an intervention!”)

I’m ashamed to admit it, being a creative professional who appreciates new experiences and events: my family thinks I’m boring and predictable when it comes to my restaurant food choices.

Predictable? I shudder to think that I’m predictable.

I prefer “oddly quirky, but mostly harmless.”

My sin is that I have a few favorite dishes that I order over and over when we visit a new restaurant.

Well, one favorite dish.

My go-to meal is a restaurant’s signature cheeseburger, extra-crispy French fries. Unless they have tater tots. I’m a sucker for tater tots.

That’s not predictable, is it? Careful, yes. Steadfast, of course. Predictable?

Hardly.

It’s basic research. A cheeseburger is the standard by which I judge that restaurant. If it can’t even master a simple cheeseburger, how bad will the rest of the food be?

A cheeseburger is difficult to master in its simplicity. Sure, it’s just a piece of ground beef with a slice of cheese, but you’d be surprised at how hard it is to do the simple things well.

And if the restaurant does a great job on the cheeseburger, then why bother trying anything

kristy deer own, so I choose to enjoy them and do as much for them as I can, while I have the chance. While they are still kids.

Yes, it’s true, I did enjoy going to a different city and taking in some warm weather. But, what I loved most was watching my nephews do so many fun and new things, like I did when I was their age.

Not only did we have a fantastic time during our epic 14-hour day at one of the coolest amusement parks, we teed it up and did the exact same thing three other times, visiting several different fun spots in sunny Florida during our adventure.

There is no doubt I spent way too much money, but what I gained from the experience was something money could never purchase. I experienced so many priceless moments with the kids in my life.

Some of the best times were at the day’s end when we all gathered in our hotel room, tired, to talk about what we liked most during our fun-filled days. They always ended with the kids talking about what fun we were going to do the next day.

At my age, I’ve been on many vacations to faraway lands, even exotic places, but I cannot recall another vacation I enjoyed any better, except the last one I took with young kids.

It’s because just about everything the adults who planned the trip did centered around the children we took.

In trying to make sure the kids had a good time, in the end, I felt like a kid myself watching them have so much fun.

Needless to say, I sort of felt like I needed a vacation to recover from my vacation. Still, I’d do it all again, and next spring I probably will.

Erik Deckers else? It’s mastered one of my favorite sandwiches, so why abandon a sure thing?

I don’t get to eat at restaurants that often, so I want something I truly enjoy, which means going back to my favorite.

But my family doesn’t understand this. They hassle me about the childishness of my cheeseburger, hand me a children’s menu, and ask me if I want Pirate Pete’s chicken planks or a peanut butter and jelly “sammich.”

No, but I do want to color the menu and help Pirate Pete find his way through the maze.

I’m not the only person who does this. Everyone has a favorite restaurant dish. Whether it’s the chicken nachos, the pasta bolognese, or the blue plate meatloaf special at a favorite diner, all of us have a go-to meal when we’re not really sure what we want to eat.

Speaking of food ruts, what’s the point of restaurant meatloaf? I never understood going to restaurants that advertise homecooked meals. The whole point of a restaurant is to get something you don’t normally eat. And we don’t normally get half-pound cheeseburgers with bacon, a fried egg, and barbecue sauce at my house.

We eat meatloaf; we had it tonight, in fact. We have spaghetti, macaroni and cheese, green bean casserole and pot roast. So we avoid places that specialize

in home-cooked meals. If I wanted a home-cooked meal, I’d eat at home, and do the things I normally do.

Like sneak a bowl of Cap’n Crunch after everyone else has gone to bed. Restaurants frown on patrons breaking in to eat cereal after they’ve closed.

Furthermore, I don’t order a cheeseburger at fancy restaurants. There, I’m willing to try just about anything. I’ll get salmon, steak or a pasta dish. If we go to a French restaurant, I’ll try the duck, and escargot for an appetizer. If we visit a German restaurant, I’ll go for the schnitzel or sauerbraten. And if we’re at a South American restaurant, I’ve been known to eat tripe.

See, that’s new and adventurous. That’s not boring. I’ve eaten frogs legs, for Pete’s sake! I AM NOT PREDICTABLE! Still, I’m not the only one who does this. I’m not naming names, but certain people I’m married to will frequently order the same dish whenever she goes to her favorite Thai restaurant. She insists that she only orders it half the time, which is probably true, because I don’t go there often enough to see if there’s a pattern.

Ultimately, I’ve reached the age where I’ve experienced all the major changes I care to experience. It’s not that I fear change; I just don’t see the point in it anymore. I’ve changed enough, my world has changed enough, and I want something that’s a little stable and reliable. And if a bacon cheeseburger is my anchor to everything that is good-hearted, pure, and true, then so be it.

Just put a fried egg on the burger, and pass me the kids menu.

Pirate Pete needs my help to find the buried treasure.

PENDLETON — The Indiana Department of Education recently announced 21 Promising Practices programs educators are using to help students learn in a non-traditional manner throughout the state.

Programs recognized in a recent press release included one used in the South Madison Community School Corp. called Google Hangouts.

According to the press release, the DOE is recognizing programs with highquality education practices and wrap-around services in schools throughout Indiana.

The South Madison School Community Corp. was represented in the group thanks to the program being offered on a regular basis at East Elementary School. It allows students to use stateof-the-art technology to interact with others either inside their own school or in other schools around the state, country or even the world.

Other schools within the district are also using the interactive concept of teaching, and educators said they love it. Students at Pendleton Elementary School recently did a math study with Hangouts, communicating with students from New York.

Much of the credit for the success of the districtwide program goes to East Elementary technology expert Jessica Zepik. She and other technology specialists around the district have been implementing the Hangouts program for all students.

The idea sits well with administrators.

“It is quite an honor to be recognized by the Department of Education,” East Elementary principal Andrew Kruer said in the press release.

It is a testament to the work and effort Zepik has put forth, he wrote.

“She has done a tremendous job collaborating with other staff in the building to help extend and enrich the learning of our students

through the Google Hangouts.”

The experience allows students to communicate and collaborate with others while demonstrating creative and critical thinking, and they always seem to have fun participating, educators wrote.

“We, of course, see the value in integrating Google Hangouts into our curriculum, so it is very validating to be included in the list of promising practices,” Zepik wrote in an email to the Pendleton Times-Post.

She is hopeful the recognition will give other educators ideas about how they can implement the educational tool into their own classrooms.

The Indiana Department of Education has recognized 50 Promising Practices programs to date, the press release said.

To celebrate Indiana’s bicentennial, the Department of Education will recognize 200 Promising Practices in schools throughout the state before Dec. 31, 2016.

“It is my mission to seek out great teaching and learning and to promote it when I see it,” Glenda Ritz, Indiana’s superintendent of public instruction, said in the press release.

“As I travel throughout the state, I see educators and administrators implementing programs that have a positive impact on Hoosier students. Promising Practices like those we are recognizing today shed a positive light on the great things happening in our schools every day.”

In addition to publicly recognizing selected schools, each Promising Practice is shared across the state as an example of best practices that positively affect Hoosier students. These programs are student-centered and focus on positively impacting students through innovative programming and activities that provide high-quality learning environments and experiences, state officials wrote.

Connie said he was in Quang Nghia province traveling with about 120 fellow soldiers when they were overrun by a division of Viet Cong numbering about 1,200.

“He grabbed a rocketpropelled grenade launcher and walked right into enemy fi re and started fi ring,” Connie said.

His actions that day also earned him another commendation — the South Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry — from the Republic of Vietnam, which fought alongside the United States against North Vietnam.

The time he served wasn’t long, Connie said, but what he went through took a toll on him and had a lifelong impact.

“He lived Vietnam and its ghosts the rest of his life,” she said.

She said while he was in Vietnam he won a ring in a card game from a fellow soldier who was killed in action soon thereafter; he wore that ring in honor of him the rest of his life, never taking it off.

Connie said he witnessed a lot of death and destruction. He didn’t talk about what happened in Vietnam very much, she said, but he did recount seeing a fellow soldier lose his leg from a grenade. She said Danny ran up and saw him bleeding profusely and tried to stop it, to no avail: “He bled to death right in front of him.”

In recent years, Danny spent a lot of time with fellow veterans at local halls. Connie said a typical day for him included visits to the American Legion in Fortville, AMVETS in Pendleton “and then he’d end up at the legion here in Pendleton,” not far from their house.

A BIT OF HISTORY Arlington National Cemetery is comprised of land that once belonged to George Washington Parke Custis, grandson of Martha Washington and stepgrandson of George Washington.

In 1857, Custis willed the 1,100-acre property to his daughter Mary Anna Randolph Custis, who was married to Robert E. Lee. After the Lee family vacated the estate in 1861 at the onset of the Civil War, federal troops occupied the property as a camp and headquarters.

In 1863, the government established Freedman’s Village on a portion of the estate as a way to assist slaves transitioning to freedom. The village provided housing, education, training and medical care.

As the number of Civil War casualties was outpacing other Washington, D.C.-based cemeteries, the property became a burial location. The first military burial took place on May 13, 1864, for Private William Christman.

On June 15, the War Department officially set aside approximately 200 acres of the property to use as a cemetery. By the end of the war, thousands of service members and former slaves were buried here. Ultimately, the Lee family was compensated for the property, and the land remained with the War Department

ARLINGTON TODAY Arlington National Cemetery has evolved from a place of necessity to a national shrine to those who have honorably served the United State during times of war — including every military conflict in American history — and during times of peace. The cemetery is the final resting place for more than 400,000 active duty service members, veterans and their families. “Service to country” is the common thread that binds all who are honored and remembered there.

The cemetery remains active with funeral services Monday through Saturday (except federal holidays), conducting between 27 and 30 services each weekday and between six and eight services each Saturday.

Information on burial eligibility and military honors is available on the cemetery’s website.

More than 3,000 ceremonies and memorial services also take place at the cemetery each year, including national observances for Memorial Day and Veterans Day at the Memorial Amphitheater.

For all the discussion about the Vietnam War, Connie said Danny stood fast for the reason he was there.

“He was proud of fighting... he said, ‘I fought against communism and oppression.’ He said ‘I fought for what the United States stands for: freedom.’”

Danny’s cremated remains are being held by Legacy Cremation & Funeral Services-Anderson,

awaiting notification from Arlington Cemetery that the remains are ready to be received.

Carrie Gee, a funeral director at Legacy, said Arlington Cemetery will give her three to four weeks’ notice of that date, and then the remains will be sent, at Connie’s request, through the U.S. Postal Service, the only service allowed by law to transport cremated remains, to a funeral

t s a L

home in the Arlington area. That funeral home will then transport the remains to the cemetery.

Gee said at this point, Danny’s remains won’t make it to Arlington until the end of April at the earliest.

Connie said once she learns of the burial date, she’s going to try to make arrangements to attend the honor service that will take place.

Gee said it’s not common for people from this area to be buried at Arlington. She said Danny is only person in the past three years from Legacy’s three locations to be sent there.

It’s common for people in this area to use Marion National Cemetery, which is less than an hour away.

Connie said Danny had a lot friends who served in Vietnam, but none are buried in Arlington; still, she wants to get him there because that’s what he wanted when they seriously discussed the issue years ago and determined he met the criteria. Also, she said there’s a war memorial at the cemetery she wants him to be near.

When Danny died, he wasn’t in great health, but his death was unexpected. She said he had started talking about possibly having his ashes scattered in Falls Creek because he loved the town and fishing in the creek so much.

But she said she’s certain he really wanted to be laid to rest in Arlington.

“I’m sure he’s going to be happy he’s going to be there,” she said.

And while he will be buried next to fellow veterans he didn’t know personally, he will be laid to rest with a small memento from one soldier he did know.

The ring he won in a card game and wore for 48 years straight never was removed from his hand.

Anthology to provide outlet, support shelter MADISON COUNTY — Stacy Savage, founding editor of Poetry Contests For A Cause, and Janine Pickett, publisher of Indiana Voice Journal, are collaborating on a new poetry anthology titled “Poets of Madison County.” They are seeking submissions from poets currently residing in Madison County or former residents who lived in the Madison County area for at least five years.

The book is an effort to highlight poets from Madison County and promote the literary arts in Anderson and surrounding areas.

DON'T MISTAKE A TAX EXTENSION WITH AN EXTENSION TO PAY YOUR TAXES. Men and women who file for a tax extension should know that an extension still requires taxpayers to estimate what they owe and send the IRS a check by April 15. A tax extension is only an extension to finish the paperwork, not an extension to pay. It's important to know an extension request must be filed by April 15.

MAKE AN ACCURATE ESTIMATE. Individuals who have filed an extension and are estimating what they owe should

not lowball the IRS. If the IRS finds you owe more than you've already paid, you will be subject to fines and penalties. A good rule of thumb when estimating is to examine last year's return. If you did not change jobs, purchase a home or earn substantially more or less money this year, you can base this year's tax estimate on last year's bill.

CHOOSE THE STANDARD DEDUCTION IF POSSIBLE. Many non-homeowners can simply choose the standard deduction as opposed to itemized deductions. Doing so can make it much quicker to file a tax return. In general, if finances are simple and not complicated, a standard deduction is the easiest and best route to take.

Visit the IRS Web site at www.irs.gov to learn the standard deductions.

SAVE MONEY ON TAXES WITH CHARITABLE DONATIONS We've all heard the saying about nothing being certain but death and taxes. As the calendar year comes to a close, many people might be thinking about how to reduce their taxable income from 2010. Charitable giving is one way to pay less in taxes.

In many cases, tax-deductible charitable giving can save a person money in the long run. The added bonus is that it can feel good to give as well. Making charitable donations can save a person thousands in tax dollars, provided the correct steps are taken.

1. Ensure the charity is a taxexempt organization eligible to receive tax-deductible donations.

2. Be sure to keep all receipts for charitable giving throughout the year. Generally donations less than $250 can be recorded with a cancelled check. Other donations will need a written acknowledgment from the charity.

3. Itemize donations when filing tax returns. If non-cash donations were given (such as clothing or automobiles) be sure to complete the applicable tax form.

LOCAL CHARITIES Want to give locally? Making contributions to local charities helps keep your donations in the community, helping the needy close to home.

The South Madison Community Foundation offers a large range of local funds that benefit the South Madison area. For more information, call 765-778-8444.

Outfitters is a non-profit organization that helps clothe children, located in Pendleton.

For more information on ways to help, call 765-778-9097.

Proceeds from the sale of the book, which will be available on Amazon, will benefit the residents of Dove Harbor, which provides a safe haven and healthy home to women and children in crisis situations.

Poetry guidelines: Send 1-5 poems (36-line limit), any style, any form.

Include a short bio of up to 100 words. Cover letter optional. Electronic and/ or mailed submissions accepted.

Deadline is April 30.

Electronic submissions should be sent to madison countypoets@yahoo.com.

Mailed entries should be sent to Madison County Poets, 3121 Mounds Road, Anderson, IN 46016.

“I’ve gotten a lot faster this year. We’re in the weight room a lot in the winter, then when it gets nicer outside, we go out and run sprints.”

Addington has also been a past participant in another activity, which has helped her with certain aspects of her running. She has received training in judo, a martial art similar to wrestling.

“I got into shape for track with that, honestly,” she said. “For my cardio, you have to have lung capacity to do that. It gave me more endurance.”

Her efforts in the weight room and as a team leader have not gone unnoticed by Lapel track coach Krista Loller. She wishes there were more like Tera.

“She is the epitome of a hard worker with a good attitude,” Loller said. “If you could clone that and have 20 other Teras, that would be great. She’s always willing to go above and beyond.”

Recently at an indoor meet, Loller told Addington she would be the alternate on the 4x800 relay team. The senior was worried because she had never run that distance before. Her coach, however, was not concerned.

“I told her not to worry about it,” she said.

“I wouldn’t have her do it if I didn’t think she could. She didn’t have to, but she would have done it. And she would have done a good job; she’s that kind of an athlete.”

After high school, Tera plans to attend college to study in an area that will keep her close to the sport she loves.

“I want to be a personal trainer,” she said.

“I’m thinking of going to Ball State; they have an elite sports medicine program.”

Her coaches aren’t the only people who notice Tera’s efforts. One can tell at a glance the diminutive senior is a workout junkie. Her teammates see it, too.

“My son (Hunter) is a junior,” Loller said.

“He said, ‘Mom, Tera is just a stud.’”

“She’s just awesome,” Loller added.

Though there are a lot of unknowns, administrators said the district will continue providing quality services to students with special needs.

Superintendents of districts who will still be involved in the co-op next school year — Eastern Hancock, Southern Hancock, South Madison and Northwestern Shelby — met earlier this month to discuss what shared services might be available.

Lapel struggles after early win Bulldogs go 1-3 at Tennessee invitational tournament

By ROB HUNT ptnews@ptlpnews.com

LAPEL — For the second year in a row, the Lapel baseball team spent a portion of its spring break in Clarksville, Tennessee, taking part in an invitational with teams from all over the Midwest. While the trip started well enough, overall the Bulldogs dropped three of four games over the weekend.

Arabians defeat Raiders

By ROB HUNT ptnews@ptlpnews.com

PENDLETON — The Pendleton Heights Arabians softball team unloaded offensively and took advantage of a sloppy Shenandoah defense to defeat the Raiders 17-11 Tuesday, April 5, in Middletown.

Pendleton Heights (1-1) pounded 18 hits and was led by sophomore Lauren Landes, who collected five hits, including three triples, while driving in six runs and scoring three herself.

Shenandoah (1-1) also committed seven errors, which paved the way for the Arabians to score 11 unearned runs.

Landes had plenty of support on offense.

Junior Jade Mollenkopf had three hits and scored three runs. Seniors Bailey Williams and Bailey Miller had two hits apiece, with Miller driving in a run, while junior Ashley King also had two hits and one RBI. Sophomore Savannah Hawhee drove in two runs while picking up a pair of hits and stealing two bases.

On the mound, sophomore Kelsey Sturgeon and juniors Makenzie McGuire and Audrey Ricker combined to allow just six hits. Nine of the 11 runs scored by the Raiders were also unearned, thanks to four Arabian errors.

Ricker closed out the game with 2.1 innings of shutout ball, and the trio combined to fan nine batters.

Herrington named to Top 60 list LAPEL — Lapel basketball standout Kamron Herrington was included in Hoosier Basketball Magazine’s list of Top 60 senior boys basketball players for 2015-16.

The Top 60 list was compiled by magazine publisher Garry H. Donna; those on the list were selected from about 1,600 seniors statewide using statistics, game observation and research conducted throughout the season and state tournament.

Ten players on the list were on teams who played in the 2016 IHSAA State Finals.

All of this year’s state finals teams have a Top 60 senior.

Herrington was part of Lapel’s Class 2A state championship team.

Three Bulldog pitchers scattered eight hits and got the offensive support they needed from the hot bats of seniors Jaxon Shirley and Austin Begley as Lapel notched its first win of the year with a 9-2 win against Waukegan, Illinois, to open play in Tennessee on Friday, April 8.

Sophomore Cameron Holycross, senior Nolan Clark and junior Jaren Cravens combined to control

things from the mound for Lapel. Holycross went three innings before giving way to Clark, who went three more innings before Cravens pitched a scoreless seventh.

The trio gave up two earned runs on eight hits and, while only striking out two, got solid defensive play behind them. The Bulldog defense committed a pair of errors but turned three double plays to keep runs off the board.

B O Y S

Offensively, Shirley drove in two runs and Begley scored twice as both players collected a pair of hits for Lapel. Sophomore Satchell Wilson also scored twice and drove in a run for the Bulldogs, who scored four runs in the fourth inning and twice more in the seventh to outlast Waukegan’s Bulldogs.

After the promising start to the weekend, the remaining three games were a struggle for Lapel.

The hot bat of senior Jaxon Shirley helped Lapel notch its first win of the year with a 9-2 win against Waukegan, Illinois, to open play in Tennessee on Friday, April 8.

EYES ON THE PRIZE Bulldog seniors to lead team on the links

By ROB HUNT • ptnews@ptlpnews.com

L

APEL — An air of optimism surrounds the Lapel boys golf team this year. It seems 2016 will be a year of opportunity.

With a core group of seniors returning for Lapel along with a talented crop of freshmen, the Bulldogs could be in position to take advantage of what seems to be a wideopen Madison County this year.

“Obviously, Pendleton Heights is always strong,” second-year Lapel head coach Josh Strange said. “I know that’s one of our goals is to win county. It’s not an easy task; there are some good teams there, and every school is improving.”

Three seniors on this year’s team — Dalton Mills, Tristan Mowrey and Tanner Winningham — competed in sectional last year. The team finished eighth in the tough Noblesville sectional, with Winningham missing out on advancing by a mere three strokes.

A better postseason is also a goal for Strange and his players.

“That was something we talked about after sectional last year,” Strange said. “Where do we go from here? If we want to get better, what areas do we need to work on?”

Winningham was heartbroken to have missed advancing to regional by such a small margin. Strange told him to channel that emotion and not to forget that moment and how it felt. He hopes the senior can use that shortcoming as motivation for this season.

Swim club fares well at state divisional meet PENDLETON — To finish off the short-course season, 24 athletes from Pendleton Swim Club competed with hundreds of regional swimmers in the recent 2016 Indiana Divisional Championship at Fishers High School.

A preliminary session was conducted for each event where the top 16 preliminary finishers moved on to the finals session.

In the final session, the top eight finishers received a medal on the podium.

PSC swimmers were on the podium for 36 individual finishes and six relay finishes during the weekend competition.

100 back; Robbie Courtney – first, 200 freestyle, third, 100 freestyle, third, 100 breaststroke, fifth, 50 backstroke and eighth, 50 freestyle; Evan Fredericks – second, 100 backstroke and third, 200 backstroke; Abby Harvey – sixth, 50 breaststroke, seventh, 100 freestyle and eighth, 100 breaststroke; Mackenzie Harvey – first, 50 backstroke, fourth, 50 breaststroke, seventh, 200 individual medley and seventh, 100 freestyle; Cameron Kordes – fourth, 200 backstroke, fifth, 100 fly and sixth, 200 breaststroke; Grace McKinney – sixth, 100 breaststroke and seventh, 500 freestyle; Will Morgan – seventh, 1,650 freestyle, seventh, 100 breaststroke, eighth, 50 freestyle and eighth, 100 breaststroke; Emma Robison – fifth, 100 fly, sixth, 200 breaststroke and eighth, 400 individual medley; Jacob Simpson – second, 50 fly, second, 100 fly, fifth, 50 backstroke, fifth, 100 backstroke and eighth, 100 freestyle; and Alia Walters – eighth, 50 breaststroke.

The following relay teams placed in the top eight:

Harvey, Sophie Kaster and Walters Fifth, 200 freestyle relay – Sarah Cole, Maggie Miller, Karly Riffey and Robison Seventh, 200 medley relay – Cole, Miller, Riffey and Robison Seventh, 200 medley relay – A. Harvey, McKinney, Emma Weflen and Claire Wittkamper Eighth, 200 freestyle Relay – Jaima Link, McKinney, Weflen and Wittkamper A. Harvey qualified for Age Group State in one event, and the following swimmers qualified for the Senior State: Brand, Fredericks, McKenna Jule and W. Morgan – all finishing with lifetime best times.

The swim club is on break and will resume training April 18 for the long-course season.

The club will conduct public swim lessons from May 9 to 25.

“I talked to him last year after sectional,” Strange said. “I could tell he was down. I just said to him, ‘Remember this.’ A lot of times, if we remember something like that, where we were close, where we could taste it but not quite accomplish it, that can drive you to do great things.”

Strange said he has seen improvement from almost all the players who have come out this year. Firstyear players senior Regan Metzger and juniors Jacob Gehring, Braxton Kemerly and Evan Russell join last year’s sectional com-

petitors and, although they haven’t played on the team, have all been playing golf in the summer.

“I’m excited because I’ve known their families for a long time,” Strange said.

“They’re the ones that picked it up because it’s a sport that they can play for a long time.”

A group of younger players who have been scoring well in preseason practice include sophomores Joe Contrell and Joey Stern and freshmen Logan McAtee, Jackson Fetty, Ian Vipperman and Reese Anderson.

Strange said this group should bring added competition to the team’s practices, and that can only make his team better.

“Each guy will be able to

challenge each other,” he said. “That is a beautiful thing to have. I definitely see a lot of competition at all levels.”

Strange said the team is improving a weakness from a year ago: the short game. He also said a strength of the team is patience.

“As a team, we are getting better at our short game,” he said. “I would say our strength is knowing how to get out of difficult situations — being behind trees and punching out, not making a bad situation worse.”

Lapel errors and five walks handed out by the Bulldog pitching staff as Lapel lost a 12-1 decision. Lapel managed just two hits in a game that was halted after five innings.

Despite the early season struggles, Jaxon Shirley and Begley have shined offensively for Lapel. Shirley is hitting .385 and leads the team with three RBI while Begley is Lapel’s top overall hitter, batting at a .571 clip.

The Bulldogs (1-4) will hope to improve their start with a strong showing this week as they begin their defense of the Nick Muller Memorial County Tournament.

Score is not kept for the lower-grade teams. The fifth- and sixth-grade teams played a round robin tournament; all the teams play each other in besttwo-out-of-three sets. The league doesn’t name a tournament winner; it aims to provide a skillsbuilding introduction to volleyball.

F R O M

T H E

With a word Jesus cut him short. “Be quiet! Come out of the man,” he ordered. At that, the demon threw the man to the floor as the crowd watched; then it came out of him without hurting him further. Amazed, the people exclaimed, “What authority and power this man’s words possess! Even evil spirits obey him, and they flee at his command!” — Luke 4:35-36

T

wo of the men whose words have impacted me deeply are with Jesus now, but their influence on my life remains in full effect. One taught me what it means to work harder, longer and until someone else says to stop.

The other continually spoke of God’s magnitude and the privilege of his children to dream big dreams and to follow him into their realization.

Those who followed Jesus around were afforded the privilege of being immersed in the very words of God. Words of power. Words of healing.

Words of deliverance. Words of hope. Words of instruction.

Words of rebuke. Words of life. Peter, even in the face of everything he knew about fishing, still cast his nets out into the deep water simply because Jesus said to do so. The catch was staggering.

God in his sovereign grace, through his Holy Spirit, still

Family of God

TOM WILES speaks. He speaks through his word. He speaks to our hearts.

He speaks through his creation. He speaks to us through each other.

His words come with authority and power. The demons were not afforded the option whether to obey. We have been.

The opportunity to live large stands before us. The key to seizing it lies in his words.

Visiting Praise the Lord, the God of Israel, because he has visited his people and redeemed them.

He has sent us a mighty Savior from the royal line of his servant David, just as he promised through his holy prophets long ago. — Luke 1:68-70

V

isiting people is something we’re all familiar with. We love when people come and visit us. We share life, build friendships

and just laugh together. Life is meant to be shared. It’s meant to be celebrated.

Visiting gives us that opportunity. When we either leave someone else’s home or they ours, we feel a fullness in our hearts.

Zechariah was no different.

Jesus showed up at his doorstep, a welcome visitor. He was only an infant at the time, but nevertheless there he was.

Zechariah came alive. He couldn’t contain himself, so he just started praising. “Here he is! Our Savior! It’s happening exactly the way God told us it would!” He celebrated his promise-keeping God. His soul came alive.

This visit from Jesus fueled the fi re in his soul. He was changed. He was at peace.

Many fi nd a visit from Jesus unsettling. He, the Savior, by virtue of his presence, confronts us with the reality that we need to be saved, to be rescued.

Our pride struggles with that truth. However, once we embrace his visit and place our trust in him for forgiveness and peace with God, our hearts come alive!

Life and life to the fullest is ours! So, turn the porch light on. Unlock the front door.

Prepare for the one visitor you will never want to leave.

Tom Wiles is senior minister of Fall Creek Christian Church. He can be reached at 765-778-3166 or tom@ fallcreekchristian.org.

Now if we are children, then we are heirs — heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. — Romans 8:17

O

ne of the most famous images from all the years of the White House is a photo that shows President Kennedy seated at his desk while his young son John plays underneath it. The famed “Resolute desk” made from the timbers of a British ship was a gift from Queen Victoria to President Rutherford B. Hayes in 1880.

Now if you or I went to the White House, we would not be allowed to just walk into the Oval Office and crawl under the desk to play while the president worked.

But the family relationship made all the difference for John F. Kennedy Jr. God has given us the immense privilege of being adopted into His family with the full rights and privileges that come with having him as our Father.

“Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is” (1 John 3:2).

Although we have not received everything that will be ours as children

AARON HAGRIS of God, we already have the authority to enter his presence and confidently present our requests to him.

In Romans 8:37, we find, “And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified together.”

This access is not because of our merit but because of his amazing grace applied to our lives in response to faith in him.

From the moment of salvation we are in God’s family, and we should not be content to live like orphans.

Instead we should climb under his “desk” with complete confidence that we belong.

For more information or help with questions that you have, call the church at 765-778-2000 or email aaron@solid rockbc.net.

Aaron Hargis is youth/associate pastor of Solid Rock Baptist Church in Pendleton.

cerned.

You are notified that you have been sued by the plaintiff named above in the court identified above.

The nature of the suit is to foreclose a mortgage involving real estate located at 210 Busby Rd., Lapel (Madison Co.), IN 46051 more specifically described as follows: LOT NUMBERED SEVENTY-FOUR (74) IN THE MEADOWS, SECTION THREE, A SUBDIVISION IN THE TOWN OF LAPEL, AS RECORDED IN PLAT BOOK 13, PAGE 212, RECORDS OF MADISON COUNTY, INDIANA. The details of the suit are stated in the complaint filed with the court. The complaint also states what plaintiff requests from the court and the amount demanded if any.

Summons by publication is specifically directed to the following named defendants whose whereabouts are unknown: THE UNKNOWN DEVISEES UNDER THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OR THE UNKNOWN HEIRS AT LAW OF HELEN L. SPURRIER, DECEASED. In addition to the above named defendants being served by this summons, there may be other defendants who have an interest in this lawsuit.

If you have a claim for relief against plaintiff arising from the same transaction or occurrence, you must assert it in your written response.

To prevent a default judgment from being entered against you, you or your attorney must file a written response with the court on or before the 3 day of June, 2016, that is within 30 days after the Third Notice of Suit; if you fail to do so, the plaintiff can obtain a default judgment and foreclose.

You may be entitled to a settlement conference that will allow you to speak with your mortgage company and discuss alternatives to foreclosure. If you want a settlement conference, you must request it with the court within 30 days after the Third Notice of Suit.

Keep in mind that the written response to the complaint and the request for the settlement conference are two separate things. If you do not file a written response within 30 days after the Third Notice of Suit but request a settlement conference, the plaintiff may still obtain a default judgment and foreclose. If you file written response but do not request a settlement conference, the court may decide you have waived your right to a settlement conference.

Miller, Jr. Attorney for Plaintiff 111 Monument Circle, Suite 842 Indianapolis, IN 462044211 Tel: 317-488-1421 Fax: 317-488-0350 NOTICE Pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, it is required that we state the following to you: This is an attempt to collect a debt and any information obtained will be used for that purpose.

The project proposes to replace the existing structure with a three span reinforced concrete slab bridge.

The project would also include incidental construction of the approaches and guardrail placement where appropriate. Storm water inlets and pipes will be installed north of SR 38.

Grading is planned for portions adjacent to the storm pipe and along the south side of SR 38 in the east and west quadrants. Construction of the project will require approximately 0.66 acre of new permanent right-of-way.

No displacement of residents or businesses will be involved with this project.

The maintenance of traffic will use the official detour of state maintained routes of SR 38, SR 13, and SR 32; however local routes may be used by local traffic. School corporations and emergency services will be notified prior to any construction that would block or limit access.

And access will be maintained to all adjacent properties during construction. Total cost of the project is estimated at $1,000,000. At present, we are planning to use both state and federal funds for construction of the project. The Federal Highway Administration and the Indiana Department of Transportation have agreed that this project falls within the guidelines of a Categorical Exclusion Level 2 with no effect to wetlands. Preliminary design plans, along with the environmental document and other information, are being made available for review in the following offices: 1.

eing a good neighbor means more than being friendly to the humans across the street, it also means being friendly to the animals in your yard.

Making your yard a safe place for local wildlife should be a top lawn care priority. With that in mind, here are some tips for creating a healthy habitat for local critters.

BE A VALUABLE REST STOP

Stock your yard with small native species of trees, shrubs and flowers to give wildlife needed nourishment, as well as cover from predators.

A source of water can also be a great resource for visiting fauna. Whether it’s a pond or a bird bath, be sure this zone is well-maintained so you don’t inadvertently create a haven for unwanted species. In the warmer months when mosquitoes are most active, you should change the bird bath water even more often.

PROMOTE SAFETY

A bird feeder in your backyard, full of water and seeds, will be the perfect invitation for beautiful migrating and local birds to stop by.

Just be sure your property is safe for birds. Unfortunately, birds don’t see clear glass. As a result, millions of birds die every year by striking glass. Don’t let your sliding glass doors or other windows become a death trap for birds.

To protect birds, apply special decals that reflect ultraviolet sunlight.

KNOW THE DEAL-BREAKERS In a seller’s market, you may feel pressured to sign on the dotted line as soon as you find that home you really like. Before committing to a mortgage, do

your due diligence. A shoddy roof, bad plumbing, foundation issues, outdated wiring and water damage are costly headaches you may not want to take on in a new home.

DO SMART RESEARCH The Internet is your friend.

So rather than cast a wide net, conduct smart searches. Websites make real estate searches easier by connecting buyers with timely and accurate listing information, as well as the listing agent. The site also features comprehensive, valuable data on the quality of life in local neighborhoods, including market reports, commute calculators, school scores and cost-of-living analyses.

GET SERIOUS Busy real estate agents with a tight schedule prioritize serious prospective buyers. Be first on their list. Before you discover your dream home, get your financial ducks in a row, because when competition is fierce, you can’t afford to wait for mortgage approval.

YOUR YARD StatePoint

When the weather warms up, it’s all about relaxing outdoors. But it’s possible you’ve neglected upkeep on your home’s outdoor spaces during the chilly months of winter.

To enjoy yourself more this season, take time to spruce up your yard. Here are some quick tips.

DEEP CLEAN

Like interior spaces, periodic deep cleans are necessary outdoors too.

But don’t waste your leisure time.

“With the right tools you can work smart, not hard,” says Jeff Devlin, host on a popular home improvement channel.

“A heavy-duty cleaner, such as Mean Green Degreaser, not only works indoors, but is ideal for my tough

outdoor cleaning jobs.”

Devlin recommends using the Super Strength multi-surface formula -- which is lab-tested to clean and remove grease, grime, mildew, dirt, and oil more effectively than its competitors -- to clean and remove mildew from patios, outdoor furniture, concrete, composite and wood fences and siding, as well as to clean and degrease tools, lawn equipment and grills.

Use it as a concentrated spray or diluted solution.

Clean with a brush or sponge.

“For your toughest jobs, add it to your pressure washer,” says Devlin.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

Perform routine upkeep to keep items from falling into disrepair or becoming overgrown or unkempt.

Sweep walkways and your deck regularly, especially if they are situated under trees.

Promote a healthy lawn by mowing it regularly, never removing more than one-third of the grass blade. Keep gutters devoid of leaves and debris so that water does not collect in your yard or at the base of your home’s structure. Rinse patio furniture, umbrellas and awnings using water or a diluted cleaner.

DO A SURVEY Take a walk around the perimeter of your patio, deck and yard to survey what needs to be cleaned, repaired or replaced.

Did potted plants and lawn ornaments survive the cooler months? Are outdoor light fixtures functioning? Are fallen branches littering the yard? Make a mental to-do list.

Boring to Beautiful StatePoint

I

t often feels like there aren’t enough hours in a day to accomplish chores; let alone home improvements. Luckily, several do-it-yourself projects can spiff up your space with little time and resources.

To take your home from drab to fab, get started with these easy projects you can accomplish in one weekend.

Laundry Room Facelift The laundry room doesn’t have to be a dull, boring place. It can be comfortable and pleasant, while still highly functional.

Incorporate new storage pieces and essentials, like hampers and drying racks to rid clutter. Consider installing a countertop above the washer and dryer -- if you have sideby-side models -- to create a smooth surface for folding and sorting.

Also, keep detergent and fabric softener in glass dispensers for a more decorative look. Lastly, paint the space a pretty, soothing color to give the room a refreshed feel and make it feel larger.

Paint an Accent Wall For an easy, inexpensive way to add drama to any room, paint an accent wall. Perfect for highlighting a focal point, such as a fireplace or shelving

unit, an accent wall commands attention.

According to celebrity designer Taniya Nayak, brightly colored walls or furniture, and bold, vibrant prints, are in style. So breathe new life into a room by incorporating these elements.

The key to painting is all in preparation, including washing down walls and taping around windows and baseboards. One of the most important tools you’ll need is a premium painter’s tape.

Enliven a Backsplash In the kitchen, a few cans of paint will work wonders on walls, cabinets, a kitchen island and your backsplash.

Paint your backsplash a solid color, use a stencil, or even create the look of faux tiles using painter’s tape.

Consider the other colors in the room before settling on the perfect

shade. If cabinets are dark, choose a lighter shade for the backsplash to keep the room from feeling too heavy. If you have white or lightcolored cabinets, a bright or darker paint provides contrast. For the finish, opt for a glossy sheen, as it’s more durable and easily wipes clean.

Rejuvenate Furniture There are many quick, inexpensive ways to rejuvenate existing furniture.

Seeing furniture in the same

position every day gets boring. Swap pieces around to instantly redefine the space. Plus, you can use this opportunity to thoroughly clean those tough-to-reach spots.

A fresh coat of paint can also provide a powerful update to such furniture as stools, chairs, bookshelves and dressers. Whether it’s a piece you already own or a garage sale gem, adding a personal touch will create new dimension.

Make it pop with eye-catching colors and unique hardware.

Remember, it doesn’t have to take months to make-over rooms in your home. You’ll be surprised what you can accomplish in one weekend.

DESIGN TIPS FOR

BOOMERS StatePoint

T

here are about 76.4 million Baby Boomers in the United States, according to the Population Reference Bureau. As this population ages, it will become important that features on their houses promote safety, are easy-to-maintain and last a long time.

Whether building from the ground up or remodeling a current home, take “aging-in-place” into consideration every step of the way. Here are some great projects to consider with strong payback:

in tubs, come with whirlpool and inline heater options to sooth aching muscles and joints. With many high-design fixtures and fittings available, a safe bathroom does not need to be just a utilitarian one.

FIRST-FLOOR PRIVACY

Many seniors opt to spend more of their time at home on the easy-to-navigate ground floor. But don’t compromise privacy in pursuit of accessibility.

Privacy windows can alleviate concerns you have about neighbors seeing you go about your business. Numerous styles and designs, including opaque decorative glass, acrylic block and true glass block windows are avaliable. Silkscreen glass designs can complement the overall style of the home. From your master suite to your bathroom to the main rooms of your home, avoid prying eyes with this crucial component of stylish first floor living.

SAFE, COMFORTABLE BATHROOMS

DURABLE ROOF When choosing a roof for over your home, seek out long-term durability without compromising beauty.

Slate and shake polymer roof products are low-maintenance, offer lifetime limited warranties, and come in a variety of color options that have the authentic look of natural materials. Impact- and fire- resistant, these hardworking roofs offer boomers both peace-of-mind and long-term value.

A BETTER BASEMENT

As mobility and coordination decline, slips and falls can make bathrooms a hazardous place.

Think of the years ahead by seeking out ADA-compliant bathroom features.

“Taller toilets that are easier to rise from, pedestal sinks that allow wheelchairs and walkers access, and walk-in tubs that promote easy entries and exits, are all bathroom features people may need as they age,” says Jean Dimeo, a certified aging-in-place specialist.

Companies are accommodating the boomer population by offering a wider selection of toilets, pedestal, under counter and wall mounted sinks. A popular product, some walk-

When building a new home, choose your foundation carefully. Not only is an uninsulated basement a major source of heat loss, but it’s throwing away potential space that can enhance your life. A “liveable basement” can be designated as a “grandkid zone,” an at-home office or crafting workshop.

You can use a pre-cast insulated concrete foundation system to create an energyefficient damp-proof basement. This foundation will help reduce utility bills for long-term savings.

Reinforced concrete walls create a permanent barrier against water, and pre-engineered access for wiring or plumbing features are a key element to whatever vision you have for this subterranean space.

CURB APPEAL

BOOSTERS StatePoint Boosting your home’s curb appeal can help it stand out.

Whether your goal is to personalize the exterior for your own enjoyment or you have plans to sell and want to improve resale value, there is great worth in this pursuit.

To get started, take a logical top to bottom approach, and keep in mind the importance of texture, which can add personality and style to a home.

TRIM

Here are a few projects to consider in order to trim out your home with smooth or textured

millwork: • Trim windows with crossheads over them and moulding on the sides and below.

• Use faux beams arranged lengthwise or in a criss-cross pattern to add dimension to porch ceilings.

• Add decorative columns in fluted square, serpentine, flat square or plain panel square shapes.

• Install a woodgrain trellis system to top off a garage door.

ROOFING

You don’t need to say goodbye to the authentic look of real slate or wood shake in order to have a durable roof that’s resistant to the elements.

Check out polymer slate and shake roofing tiles,

which are resistant to hail, high winds, fire and other nasty conditions.

“Color personalizes every aspect of our lifestyles,” says Kate Smith, president and chief color maven of Sensational Color. “It makes complete sense for homeowners wanting to express themselves through the color of their roof.”

According to Smith, the color gray is expected to be a popular color choice this year for roofing, due in large part to its refined elegance.

ENTRYWAY

“Adding a confident color to a front door can update any home scheme and create a joyful feeling every time someone comes through your entryway,” says Smith, who suggests selecting a paintable fiberglass door.

When shopping for a new door, look for clean lines and crisp angles that are ideal for painting.

Fiberglass doors are practical, attractive and energy-efficient. Add texture by opting for a doorlite and sidelites flanking the door.

GETTING A GOOD LAWN IN LESS TIME StatePoint

A

stunning lawn is the trademark of most proud homeowners. After all, the front yard is the first thing visitors and passersby see. But achieving and maintaining the perfect landscape can be time consuming without the right tools.

Experts say achieving professional-level results in less time starts with the equipment you use to do the job. Take stock of the tools in your garage or shed. Are they up to the task? If you’re spending too much time on the yard, it may be time to make some key upgrades.

The right lawnmower, for example, “is not just an investment in the beauty of your property, it’s an investment in your quality of life,” says Judy Altmaier, general manager of Exmark, a leading manufacturer of mowers and other lawn equipment. “A faster mower means more free time, plain and simple.”

With that principle in mind, here are a few insights about what to look for when replacing an older mower with a new, more efficient model.

MANEUVERABILITY

Between trees, flower beds and other landscape features,

a mower should be easy to maneuver, so you can mow closer and spend less time with the trimmer.

QUALITY OF CUT

Not all mowers offer the same quality of cut. When choosing a new mower, take this factor into consideration, as well as the type of lawn and grass you have.

DURABILITY

A durable mower will include features such as welded, fabricated cutting decks, commercial engines and heavy-duty welded, tubular steel unibody frames.

CONSIDERING ALL

YOUR OPTIONS StatePoint Whether you’re building a home from scratch or contemplating an upgrade, when choosing siding, there’s a lot more to consider beyond color.

The type of material you use can impact durability, beauty and even energy efficiency.

Since siding is a long-term investment, you’ll want to make a decision from an informed place, especially with more options now available in the marketplace.

With that in mind, here are some things to consider about different siding materials:

WEATHER

Extreme weather events, including high winds and hot and

cold temperatures can damage or destroy siding. Look for a product that is certified to withstand these conditions. No matter where you live, this should be an important consideration, as weather patterns have become more unpredictable across the country.

ROT

Fiber-based materials (such as fiber cement planks) absorb water, which over time can make siding more prone to rot, decay and even disintegration. At the store, ask to see siding options made of polymer-based materials, which are impervious to moisture.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

For improved energy efficiency, choose insulated siding, which will prevent undue loss of warm air in winter and cool air in summer.

Where environmental impact is concerned, vinyl is a good bet, as it complies with environmental standards known as LEED and ICC 700 National Green Building standards.

MAINTENANCE

A certain amount of upkeep will be required to keep your siding looking great. However, vinyl siding requires only occasional soap and water, whereas fiber cement requires re-caulking and repainting to maintain color and help prevent moisture absorption.

First introduced in the 1960s, vinyl siding is the most popular home siding material today, due to its overall low cost, easy installation, durability and minimal maintenance.

New products are particularly versatile, and easy to install and maintain.

Whenever making a major home upgrade, learn more about your purchase for smarter, sounder investments.

This season, give yourself more time and energy to enjoy the yard you so painstakingly maintain.
