Some Midtown businesses relocating, but others are staying put By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

Last month, Old Town Design Group announced plans to construct the first part of the Midtown Plan, a $100-million-plus project that aims to business connect the Carmel City Center and the Carmel Arts & Design District with new residential, office and retail buildings. Part of the plan involves demolishing existing buildings along Range Line Road to construct new condos for purchase. This had led many people to wonder what will happen to their favorite businesses. The answer is: some will stay, some will move and some will cease to exist. Chief among the concerns is Miller Auto Care, a family owned and operated shop tucked behind the old laundry mat. Andrew Greenwood, partner with Old Town Design Group, said he can’t emphasize enough that Miller Auto Care won’t be going away. They will construct a new facility for them not too far away and won’t demolish their existing building until they are ready to move into their new home. He said the goal is to move in a weekend. “When we started to talk to Miller Auto Care, it was very obvious to us that it was a viable business and they didn’t want to go anywhere but they wanted to support the redevelopment,” he said. “It’s going to be the same great business and same great people. And with a new facility, we hope we can be a positive to what they already have.” Keith Stockberger, owner of Miller Auto Care, said ever since the announcement was made he’s had to deal with customers who heard incorrect reports or misread articles. He said one older customer even came in on a letter written on a typewriter to ask her questions. “Even as of today, I had a customer approach me with a lot questions about what’s happening,” he said. Although he wasn’t looking to move his business – not too long ago they did upgrades to the façade Stockberger said he believed it was important to support the vision for Midtown. “Carmel has grown but it has a very small-town feel to it,” he said. “I love that we’ve been taking care of businesses for three generations. We want to be a contributor to the community and help revitalize the area.

That’s why we agreed to be a part of this deal.” Jeff Meunier, an attorney with offices in the proposed building area, said he’s going to swap some property with Old Town Design Group but won’t move. He said he was happy to adjust his building plans to support the Midtown plan. “I think it’s very exciting and it will really bridge the Arts District and the City Center,” he said. “It should really be a boon to all the businesses in the area.” Carmel Welding also has received questions from customers, Greenwood said, but they don’t fit within the construction site boundaries and will not move. As for other businesses, Greenwood said that’s all still being discussed. The retail space will be available “at market rate” and for some businesses the rent might be too high. Some property owners were already eager to sell or were planning to retire or relocate. A few businesses might be disappointed, Greenwood said, because they were paying very low rent and the new buildings might not be the right fit for them. One example is Amanda’s City-Chic Consignment, which would require ample storage space for its inventory but likely wouldn’t want to pay the new market rates. Another merchant that wouldn’t fit into the plan is the Xpress Tobacco Outlet, which Greenwood said doesn’t fit with the character of the new development. The reality is that Old Town Design Group believes it is revitalizing an “underutilized part of town,” Greenwood said.

ON THE WEB DVD review

Reviews by Ray

Columnist Chris Lloyd is always leery when a low-budget movie becomes a hit and then we see a sequel churned out a year later because they tend to be hasty and sloppy. “The Purge: Anarchy” bucks this trend by actually being superior to its 2013 predecessor. While the first film was more a schlocky horror film edged with social commentary, the sequel falls into the straight action/ thriller category. To read more, visit currentnightandday.com

Soaring above her boys By James Feichtner • news@currentincarmel.com There are a lot of clubs available to the community’s youth, but few are as historic as the Boy Scouts of America. achievement Many young boys participate in Scouts all over the country, but not all of them make it to the prestigious title of Eagle Scout. Michelle Carroll, a local Carmel mother, has had the honor of watching all three of her sons reach the Eagle Scout rank. With only six percent of all Boy Scouts making it to the Eagle rank in 2013 according to BSA’s website, having three in one family is for Carroll quite an accomplishment. All of her boys are members of Troop 132, in Carmel. Carroll believes that her three sons Sean, 19, Robert, 17, and Michael, 14, have all greatly benefitted from their time in scouting. While the organization teaches many useful trades, she said she believes that one of the greatest impacts it has had on her sons is getting them out of their comfort zones. “It’s not so much the skills that they’ve learned, it just made them more outgoing,” she said. “Any opportunity that comes out they’re willing to say, yeah I’m going to try and do that. It’s just being able to be open to do those things and I think through scouting that’s helped them a lot. I don’t think they would be as outgoing if they weren’t exposed to those opportunities.” Carroll loves how outgoing her sons have be-

come, but also how scouting has also prepared them for their future. “The life skills my boys have learned through scouts puts my mind at ease,” she said. They will be prepared for whatever comes their way. And, by making the commitment to achieve the rank of Eagle, I know they will continue to put in every effort to reach any goal they set their mind and heart to.”

DID YOU KNOW? To become an Eagle Scout, a scout must plan and complete a community service project.

Pedcor’s proposal finalized By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com The Carmel Redevelopment Commission finalized its sale of the long-vacant Shapiro’s building after the money was development wire-transferred from Pedcor, its new owner. But questions still remain from elected officials and the public about this confusing financial transaction. CRC Director Corrie Meyer said: “This is a complicated deal made years ago so I expect that there will continue to be questions.” DID CARMEL SELL THE PROPERTY FOR LESS THAN IT WAS WORTH? Technically no, but the CRC did sell the property for less than it bought it for. CRC paid $2.5 million to purchase the mortgage on the Shapiro’s building. The current value of the property, based on two appraisals received, is $2.1 million. So the appraised value decreased. Mayor Jim Brainard said the CRC bought the building because it wanted to try to keep Shapiro’s in the area and this allowed restaurant owner Brian Shapiro a monthly mortgage payment of $1,000 to the CRC. There are reasons why the Shapiro’s building decreased in appraised value since the 2010 purchase, among them this: “I would imagine that it lost value because it was a vacant building,” Meyer said.

WHY DID PEDCOR WIN THE BID? The CRC received two nearly identical bids for the property. One was from a bank which offered all cash and the other was from Pedcor, which offered half cash and half debt relief. Some city councilors thought it would have been better to have all cash, because in theory the city could take that money and pay back debt. But Meyer said they liked Pedcor’s use better. “The CRC commissioners preferred the restaurant/retail potential given the opportunity to continue bringing diverse users into the urban core,” she said. “This is what the market is wanting.” But City Councilor Eric Seidensticker still wonders: “What’s wrong with a bank?” WHAT DEBT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT? Meyer said one of Pedcor’s entities, Village Financial, holds two subordinated Secondary Installment Contracts, which are loans that have to be paid after all other debt is paid. The first secondary installment contract has an approximate balance of $4 million with a second one at $1 million. WHY NOT TRY TO GET A HIGHER BID? City Councilor Rick Sharp suggested that it would have been wise to reject both bids and then open negotiations to see if the CRC could receive a higher offer from either party. “We vetted all of the different scenarios that could happen,” Meyer said.

Serger just bought his first bicycle from the store for his 10-year-old daughter, Maggie. “They created a loyal customer so when the time was right for me to purchase a bike, where do you think I’m going to go?” said Serger, who is operations manager for the G2 Secure Staff at the Indianapolis International Airport. “They always gave me a reason to come back. The friendships I’ve forged here are just unreal.” The book, “2000 Miles on Wisdom,” will be published Jan. 15 and is available to pre-order at Red Bike Publishing (redbikepublishing.com) and Amazon.com. The book has received rave reviews from customer service experts. “The book is loaded with proven methods of and techniques to get and keep customers for life. You learn how to build customer service so high they would never buy from anyone else,” stated Brian Tracy, author of “How the Best Leaders Lead.” Serger had previously written a book, “Go the Distance,” about his relationship with his father through his father’s battle with alcoholism. Casady’s store has been named one of the top 100 bicycle shops in the nation by Bicycling magazine. “He’s top 100 out of 5,000 registered bicycle shops in the U.S. not just because he sells bicycles, he’s top 100 because of the service he gives residents here in Indiana,” Serger said. “He’s doing it day in and day out.”

“I am very grateful to the staff at Carmel Health and Living Community for all you have done during my recovery. With a smile, everyone has been very professional, helpful, and encouraging. Thank you all, for what you have done for me.” — Ed Hauser —

from Edward H auser

Mr. Ed Hauser admitted to Carmel Health & Living from Rehabilitation Hospital of Indiana on July 3rd, 2014. He was in a serious car accident resulting in multiple severe injuries including, a fractured left hip, bladder displacement, liver laceration, sternal fracture and pelvic fractures. Upon admission he suffered from severe pain and swelling which greatly limited his ability to participate in therapy or even get out of bed. The staff worked with Mr. Hauser on pain control and relaxation techniques to help make going to therapy possible. Once he had better pain management, he was able to make great strides in therapy. He became independent with transfers, bed mobility, and car transfers using Carmel Health and Living’s in house model car, specifically made to assist with this type of challenge. Working with Mr. Hauser’s health insurance and orthopedic team, we were able to obtain all needed equipment to ensure a safe discharge to home. He was able to return home on August 8th, 2014, and is continuing to make progress at this time.

What started as Jim Serger wanting to get back on a bicycle for a good cause turned into writing a book about a book release store’s exemplary customer service en route to his journey. Serger, a 44-year-old Carmel resident, went into Nebo Ridge Bicycles, 4335 W. 106th St., Carmel, looking to buy a bicycle in May 2012. Serger was preparing for a bicycle ride to Florida to honor a friend who was suffering from cancer. Serger hadn’t seriously ridden a bike in more than 20 years. Instead of selling Serger a bicycle right away, store general manager Brian Wenrick encouraged Serger to borrow a friend’s bike to see how his knees would hold up. “I thought why would a bicycle shop tell me to try a bike of a friend’s first,” Serger said. “What he did was put me first before Nebo Ridge.” Serger kept coming back for knowledge and eventually bought a helmet, nutritional and other supplies and got a tune-up for his friend’s bicycle. He ended up taking that bike to Florida. “In 150 days, I went from no miles to 2,000 miles and reached my destination,” Serger said. The Nebo Ridge staff had made a friend and customer for life. “I never would have made it down there (to Florida) if it wasn’t for that customer service on the first day of interaction,” Serger said. “This is a little bicycle shop in Carmel, Indiana, that gave me the same customer service you read about from Zappos, Home Depot, the Ritz-Carlton. In return, I had to write the book about customer service to show you don’t have to be big to deliver customer service. I’ve been in customer service all my life. I love the aspect of putting people first before dollars.” Zionsville resident Tim Casady, who owns the store with his wife Darby, said naturally he and his employees love biking. “What we love most is finding our customer’s story and relating to that,” he said. “For a brickand-mortar store to compete against an Amazon, it’s the relationships you are building and involvement in the community.”

CRC set to sell land in Midtown

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

The Carmel Redevelopment Commission voted on Oct. 15 to sell up to $1.7 million worth of unused land situated in the real estate Midtown area. The Carmel City Council voted last week to transfer the lots near Bub’s Café and Happy Dog Day Care to the CRC. The land is situated west of the Monon Trail, south of 2nd Avenue SW and east of 3rd Avenue/4th Avenue SW. Land where the water tower sits is not part of this sale. A meeting has been set for 8 a.m. on Oct. 30 to open it to bids from the public. It long has been believed that Pedcor is interested in developing land west of the Monon Trail with the company acquiring land that could be used at some point. Still, it’s unknown if Pedcor will be interested in this land as part of their strategy, said CRC Director Corrie Meyer. “I don’t know how this will pan out,” she said. “I’ve talked to Pedcor and honestly they are focused on City Center. That is their priority. I don’t know if this project fits in their timeline but we’ll see if they submit something.” Any land near the Midtown area might become

valuable now that Justin Moffett of Old Town Development announced his plans to begin on about $150 million in development as the first phase of the Midtown Plan. Meyer said the city owned this land for a long time and now it made sense to try to sell it. “There’s such a strong interest in Midtown by developers that this just seemed like the right time,” she said. Meyer said the CRC will consider the highest bid, but also the “best use” for the land. “We can bring in factors that don’t necessarily have to do with money,” she said. In other news, the CRC discussed plans to redevelop the former Party Time Rental location at South Range Line Road and West Carmel Drive. Anderson Birkla, a real estate development company, is involved in the proposal and various city department heads already are being consulted about the project. The vacant building likely would be torn down and a new “tavern on the green” could be one possibility for the space. In addition, next month the CRC plans to present a bond package for City Center Phase II parking garage. An ordinance to create new TIF districts for the projects currently sits in committee.

Life skills through martial arts

UHS teacher wins chemistry award By Amanda Foust • news@currentincarmel.com Erica Posthuma-Adams, chemistry teacher at University High School in Carmel and 14-year educator, has recently been awarded the 2014 Regional Award for Excellence in High School Teachachievement ing from the Division of Chemical Education. She will officially accept her award at the 2014 American Chemical Society Central Regional Meeting in Pittsburgh on Oct. 30. Much of Posthuma-Adams’ life includes chemistry, whether it be through learning or teaching. She studied chemistry education at IU Bloomington and received her Masters in Posthuma-Adams Education at Indiana Wesleyan University. She began teaching and soon discovered that University High School offered her great opportunities to pursue what she loves on a deeper level. “At University I have smaller classes, more opportunities for exploration and am able to bring them back and share with students,” she said. Posthuma-Adams’ favorite method of teaching is through modeling instruction. She said this method transformed the way she taught because it immerses students in the process of doing science. With this method the students take center stage. She said: “I moved to University High School because they were such a supportive environment for modeling instruction and helped us become leaders in our fields.” There were some requirements to receiving the award. Posthuma-Adams was nominated by Dr. Robert Pribush, professor of chemistry at Butler University. She then had to write her philosophy of education and supply a document and a letter of support by her supervisor Chuck Webster and a former student. She said the organization was looking for a novel approach to how students learn and people who are pursuing advanced degrees within chemical sciences or endeavors to stay current on events within their field.

Carmel native drew for Twain, Dreiser and others Commentary by Fred Swift

Most Hoosiers have read James Whitcomb Riley and have gotten a mental picture of his fictional characters from the illustrations that accompany many of Riley’s poems. Many of those illustrations are the creation of Carmel native back in the day Franklin Booth. His distinctive pen-and-ink drawings were a hot commodity in the early 20th century when he drew illustrations for famous authors, national magazines, major corporations and the U.S. government. He drew for Theodore Dreiser and Mark Twain as well as Riley. His work also appeared in Cosmopolitan, House and Garden and Redbook. He did advertising illustrations for General Electric, Rolls Royce and Whitman Candies, and World War I recruiting posters, war bonds and even death certificates for soldiers killed in Europe. Booth was born in 1874 on a farm near Carmel. His parents later moved to a house which still stands on North Range Line Road. Riley and Dreiser are known to have visited there in later years. In adulthood Booth maintained a studio behind his parents’ home as well as an apartment in New York City which he called his “studio apartment.” He may have coined the term which is still common today as the name for a small, usually one-room, apartment. He lived in New York for many years but returned to the family home in Carmel each summer, attending the Indianapolis 500, entertaining some of his famous friends, and working in his studio where he used local young people as models for his drawings. Booth died in 1948 in New York, but was buried in Carmel Cemetery. In 2000 his work was featured along with 19 other famous illustrators on a series of U.S. postage stamps. And today the Carmel Clay Historical Society has a collection of Booth’s illustrations which is periodically exhibited for the public.

Carmel-born illustrator Franklin Booth drew this illustration for “The Flying Islands of the Night” by Hoosier James Whitcomb Riley. It was first published by Bobbs-Merrill Co. in 1913. (Submitted illustration)

Fred Swift is a former member of the Carmel City Council, a former newspaper editor and a 60-year resident of Carmel. He currently serves as a board member of the Carmel Clay Historical Society.

Masters race set for Nov. 8

By Devynn Barnes • news@currentincarmel.com

On Nov. 8 some of the fastest runners in the country, ages 40 and up, will be taking to the course at Northview Christian sports Church. The USA Masters 5K Cross Country Championships is expected to bring in more than 500 athletes, and meet director Andy Martin can hardly wait. “So far we have athletes entered from nine different states, and I’m expecting probably 30 to 35 [states],” Martin said. The event is put on by Exclamation Services and USA Track and Field Indiana, an organization with which Martin worked for 12 years. A runner in both high school and college, he is excited to have this event so close to home. “I look forward to showcasing the cross country course to people outside of Indiana, and also inviting people into Indiana just to see what a wonderful place it is,” Martin said. “I just want to show them the charm that Carmel and central Indiana has.” The race is a 5K, about 3.1 miles, and there are no qualifying times. Anyone is encouraged to participate. The racing is done by age group, ranging from 40 to 44, 45 to 49, all the way up to 80 years old. While USATF and Exclamation

Services hopes to have a large Indiana showing, the race is being marketed to all 50 states, with heavy emphasis on those in driving range. Fairly unique to this type of event, Martin said the runners are looking to find families in Carmel to host athletes in their homes. “They spend a lot of money to do their travel and it adds up pretty quickly,” Martin said. The opportunity to stay with a family and experience some first-hand Hoosier hospitality would make race weekend more pleasant and more affordable for the athletes, as well as be an unforgettable experience for families. “I am excited for the nationals to be held in Carmel,” said Tim Mylin, Carmel High School teacher and avid runner. “My focus this fall will be to get in some great training and stay healthy. Not having to travel for an event of this magnitude is certainly a bonus for those of us living in central Indiana. I look forward to racing athletes from across the country.” More information about participating in the event or volunteering, as well as information about hosting a family can be found by contacting Andy Martin at Andy.Martin@ExclamationServicesUSA.com.

Pumpkin Festival is Oct. 25 Commentary by Jeff Worrell Are you more inclined to attend the 2014 Gourd Festival or the 2014 Pumpkin Festival? If you are in the pumpkin preference volunteerism camp consider yourself fortunate to live here. Why you might wonder? Because Carmel is now the official home of the 2014 Pumpkin Festival. That’s right. The 2014 Pumpkin Festival kicks off the Holiday Season on Oct. 25 in the heart of Carmel’s Government Center at Civic Square. Beginning at 4 p.m. and not ending until 8 p.m. that same evening, the 2014 Pumpkin Festival boasts free admission. The Carmel Arts Council and the Carmel Mayors Youth Council teamed up this year to throw the first joint Pumpkin Festival. Although the Carmel Mayors Youth Council produced similar events in the past, teaming up with the ladies of the Arts Council insures a doubly spectacular event. Dee Kerber, Sue Collier, Meg Gates Osborne and Connie Titak of the Carmel Arts Council and Matt Klineman from Carmel Mayors Youth Council came together to plan the event. Sue Collier said, “It was Dee Kerber’s idea to hold some kind of festival in the fall. Joining with students from CHS who had done this before seemed like a natural fit.” The organizing team is planning lots of fun

events for attendees of the festival. Pumpkins will take center stage and set the tone for your experience. Lee Saberson is a master pumpkin carver and will be on hand demonstrating his proficiency of turning a average looking rinds into a scary face. Attendees will have the opportunity to buy a pumpkin and then decorate it to match their personality. Or, carve and decorate your pumpkin in advance (that is NOT cheating) and bring it with you. All relatives of the squash family found on site will be arbitrated by pumpkin artistic specialists who will ultimately crown a winner. From 6 until closing, the pumpkins will be lighted and on display for all to enjoy. Sure to be a highlight of the evening. Hay Rides for just $1 are planned to give it that fall feeling. Personalities from Carmel High School radio station WHJE will also be on hand spinning the vinyl (or playing an iPod) and setting the appropriate mood for the day. Live entertainment at the Gazebo, food booths, CHS Clubs and a huge raffle are also intended for the festival. Wondering what to wear? Come in your favorite Spiderman or Elsa the Snow Queen costume of course. Good day, Carmel.

Parks and Rec stikes ‘gold’ news@currentincarmel.com This week the Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation achieved an unprecedented level of national acclaim during the 2014 achievement National Recreation and Park Association Congress in Charlotte, N.C. In addition to receiving its accreditation from the National Commission for Accreditation of Park and Recreation Agencies, the group received a prestigious 2014 National Gold Medal Award for Excellence in Park and Recreation Management by The American Academy for Park and Recreation Administration in partnership with NRPA for parks serving up to 150,000 people. “These achievements are both impressive accomplishments in their own right. The Gold Medal Award is the benchmark by which all agencies wish to be measured – it is like winning the Super Bowl of the parks world,” said Michael Klitzing, Chief Operating Officer for Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation. “Receiving the CAPRA Accreditation is the culmination of months of dedication by our staff to document our policies and procedures to meet the required stringent standards. Less than 120 parks in the United States hold this accreditation and only three in Indiana.” In the past 10 years, more than $72 million has been invested to purchase new parkland, develop parks and recreational facilities, and make capital replacements within existing parks. For the past two years, CCPR has achieved 85 percent cost

First meeting of Storm Water Board hints at long road ahead

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

The newly formed Storm Water Board – tasked with setting a utility fee to combat flooding problems – had its first meetgovernment ing last week. And the conclusion of the meeting was that there’s a lot of work to be done. Bills will be sent out Nov. 1 and it appears the revenue generated will only cover one major project a year. That means some flooded areas will have to wait their turn. Mayor Jim Brainard floated the idea of borrowing money to start on many drainage projects at once but some on the City Council disagree with that idea. And the city’s big storm water project underway, Emerson Road, appears to be expensive and time consuming. Small fixes could start next month but the comprehensive fixes needed could take until a year from now to begin with costs left of more than a $1 million. The Emerson Road project could involve obtaining easements on private property and if the city has to seize any land using eminent domain, then money could have to be spent to compensate homeowners. City Engineer Jeremy Kashman said about five to seven homes could be affected by the Emerson Road flooding. City Councilor Ron Carter asked: “Are we talking about a situation where we would be spending more money to fix a project than the houses are worth?” Kashman confirmed it could be the case, saying, “Which is why we have tried to make lowcost improvements.” Carter emphasized he was just asking a question and he’s not suggesting anything more. But different sources have told Current that it might make financial sense to buy one or two of the homes from the owners and perhaps build a

retention pond. City Council President Eric Seidensticker, who represents the affected area, balked at Carter’s comment. “I don’t think it matters one iota the value of the home,” he said. “Whether the home costs 10 dollars or a million, the city has the same obligation to make sure the roads aren’t flooded and the homes aren’t destroyed.” There was also talk about making sure 80 percent of the new storm water revenue goes directly to projects with the rest going to overhead and administration. Probably the biggest debate for the new storm water utility will be which projects get funded first. Kashman said he’s developing a list but it isn’t ready yet. Some debate was raised about the city’s role in paying to repair drainage issues on private property versus public streets. Carter said he thinks it’s proper to help private homeowners while Seidensticker asked, “Where do you draw the line?” Brainard has suggested that many of these problems could be solved by bonding out the issue. “If you want to get caught up quickly, you could take the cash flow and borrow some money and do eight or nine projects and get caught up,” he said. City Councilor Sue Finkam said issuing a bond is certainly a possibility, but many other issues might come first. But Seidensticker doubts the Council would approve such borrowing. “I think it’s the same (modis operandi) the mayor’s had ever since he’s been in office: borrowing money,” he said. “If he had been proactive, we could have fixed these problems a long time ago.”

Indiana Republican statewide candidates kicked off their “Experience and Transparency Tour” Oct. 14 in front of the Hampolitics ilton County Judicial Center in Noblesville. Secretary of State Connie Lawson, State Auditor Suzanne Crouch and State Treasurer candidate Kelly Mitchell rallied residents and called on them to vote early. Rep. Susan Brooks (IN-5) also was in attendance and part of the rally. “As I see it, there are six and a half million Hoosiers counting on us and we need to make sure we let people know what we are about and what this election is about and what is at stake,” Lawson said. Republican Party Chairman Tim Berry said the

goal for the tour is to energize Republican voters and motivate them to take advantage of early vote opportunities. The tour also gives the candidates an opportunity to talk about their platforms. “Hoosiers across the state are looking for candidates with experience and a vision for the future,” Mitchell said. “I am looking forward to encouraging Hoosiers to get out and vote for candidates who will guard taxpayer dollars and steer Indiana toward a bright future.” The statewide team will travel to 30 counties by the Nov. 4 election, making stops at local campaign offices and locations near early vote centers. Hamilton County registered voters can cast early ballots from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday at the Government and Judicial Center. © 2014 All Rights Reserved Certa ProPainters, Ltd.

Three players overcome tragic losses by drawing strength from each other By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Football family. Band of brothers. Carmel High School coach Kevin Wright knows there are many over-used clichés. But it certainly rings true for his team, which has Cover story gone through more off-the-field adversity than most high school teams ever do as three players have lost their fathers in the last two-plus years. “There’s a lot of clichés that coaches use that aren’t clichés for us because we’ve lived them,” Wright said. “When you talk about being brothers, we’ve had to be that to each other. You’re always going to deal with some kind of adversity. But the difference is we’ve gone through life-and-death situations three years in a row.” Senior linebacker Jesse Clifford’s father, David, died in March 2012 after a battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, commonly known as ALS. Senior running back Shakir Paschall’s father, Eric, suffered a heart attack in the stands during the home semistate game in November and later died at the hospital. Then on July 27, junior running back Stephen Watts Jr.’s father, Stephen Sr., and mother, Candi, were in a car accident on their way to church. Watts Sr. died Aug. 14 from the injuries. The three boys have leaned hard on each other and their teammates.

“The night that my dad passed away almost my whole team that played that night and a few of my teachers showed up,” Shakir said. “The bond is awesome. We don’t let each other settle for less. We always pick each other up and encourage each other to do better. This is like a second family to me. I know if something happens to me, I know these guys will be here for me every step of the way.” Understanding the pain, Jesse reached out to Shakir immediately after his father died. “He was there picking me up and telling me it was going to be all right,” Shakir said. “He gave me confidence in myself again. I felt, Wow, he’s my brother even though we’re not blood. He helped me a lot.” Shakir and Jesse made sure they were there for Stephen as well. “Stephen is a sensitive guy, so we have to work even harder to pick him up,” Shakir said. Their guidance and a strong faith has helped Stephen forge ahead.

“Shakir and Jesse have helped a lot in telling me what to do when I’m down on myself or tell me it’s OK when I fumble the ball,” Stephen said. “They are telling me something my dad would tell me, so that helps a lot.” Often, he hears his own dad’s words echoing in his head. “It’s almost like I feel him with me when I’m running the ball,” Stephen said. “Sometimes when I’m on the field, he’s telling me something to do and I just have a certain instinct of help from him.” Football was a passion all three sons shared with their dads, who all were youth football coaches. “It’s wasn’t unusual to see them at practice, just hanging out with the kids they coached and being around the game they loved,” Wright said. Jesse’s father was an ex-Carmel football player. Jesse’s two older brothers, Alex and Sam, also played at Carmel. His oldest brother, Benjamin, played high school football in Fairfield, Conn. David Clifford was a fixture on the sidelines in his wheelchair during the Greyhounds’ 2011 state championship run. “All three dads loved football and we all knew each other’s dads,” Jesse said. “Carmel always brings people back together.” The three players share a prayer before every game. “We all look at it as a blessing, knowing they are looking down at us,” said Jesse, whose team opens sectional play at Noblesville on Oct. 24. “We’re doing it for them and trying to get this last state title.” Losing his father has made him a stronger person, Jesse said. “I love my Pops and I miss him dearly,” Jesse said. “I wish he was here more than anything. There is nothing I can do about it. I used that as strength and keep pushing in everything I do.” The circumstances have made the Greyhounds a closeknit team despite having more than 200 players, including freshmen. “We have a big football team and you are not going to be close to everybody,” Wright said. “But for the most part, it’s brought us together. You’re sharing a common goal of trying to deal with adversity at the highest level.” Aisha Paschall, Shakir’s mother, said it has been a godsend for her son. “Sometimes you need more than your mom and brothers and sisters,” she said. “It’s definitely like a brotherhood. It’s like he has over 200-something brothers. It’s a wonderful thing, all the love they’ve shown not only to Shakir but to the entire family.”

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Yes, ‘kids,’ your votes do matter With the midterm elections bearing down on us – it’s Nov. 4, for those of you scoring at home – it strikes us that we middle-agers might represent the more active of a declining breed: the active voter. We know plenty of twenty-somethings who couldn’t possibly be less energized about casting votes for various candidates that could be among their wouldbe choices. Too many times we have been asked, “Why? My vote doesn’t matter, right?” Wrong, Snapchat Breath. It matters plenty. If we all just take a closer look at the “deciding” United States municipality from the 2012 presidential election, that being Hamilton County in southwest Ohio, all those “my vote doesn’t matter” folks and their counterparts, were they of the conservative persuasion, could have made a huge difference. We’ve written here annually of the right and (what we view to be) the responsibility for everyone 18 years and older to find a way to making voting a reality. Sadly, it’s not nearly enough the case. We’d like to add privilege. Look around the world where true democracy doesn’t reign; those folks do not enjoy the freedom to vote their conscience. And so with right, responsibility and privilege in vote-eligibles’ quivers, it stuns us that there is such disinterest or lack of understanding of what casting votes truly means. Here comes the finger pointing, then: It is, in our opinion, a problem that equally roosts in schools and in the home. Many teachers and parents – from our observations in recent years – simply gloss over it. Where it “doesn’t matter,” it should. No one will convince us otherwise. Whatever we can do to wake up the younger generation – all those still slumbering, as it were – will help us help them to have a brighter and more secure future. And, if they don’t vote, they shouldn’t whine about a thing. (It’s now time for us to go get fitted for our canes.)

Periodic review Commentary by Terry Anker Against the dramatic backdrop of the nation’s debate about the extension of traditional marriage rights to same-sex domestic partnerships, divorce rates among heterosexuals are skyrocketing. Even as I was pleased to see close friends who have lived and loved as husbands for decades, raising a family and building a communityfocused life, find their union receive the blessing of the state, another friend shared with me the unraveling of his own marriage and the arrangements for the “sharing” of the children negotiated between him and his once beloved wife. The dichotomy presented by these two adjacent events led me to wonder exactly what is it that comprises the agreement that two people attest to follow in signing a marriage license. Some will commit to “have and hold.” Others will pledge to let go of their “childish ways.” And in bringing the state into the arrangement, we are giving rights to claim our children and our earthly wealth to this person. In most religions, the marriage compact brings responsibilities to bring

forward children, to support the faith and to live a doctrine. Whatever the perspective, personal, governmental or religious, it is evident that marriage is a contract. Two people are pledging legal, personal and spiritual resources to each other. Good. Clear. So how do so many fail to meet the expectations? We break contracts for many reasons – a better offer or a newer model… perhaps, boredom. If we live in a world with marriage, divorce, remarriage – and often re-divorce – as a growing element of modern life, should the marriage contract outline the cost and process to break up in addition to the romantic expectations? How do we communicate our dissatisfaction to a partner? How do we attempt to renegotiate? Can any contract be broken unilaterally? Can this one? At least, shouldn’t we periodically review?

I spend a great deal of time judging other parents. I know it’s wrong but I can’t help myself. Criticizing their decisions and actions makes me feel better about my own insecurities. My latest “issue” with certain moms and dads regards football. With all that is known about head injuries, I cannot understand why parents allow their boys to play, even at the pee wee level, and especially when there are less potentially brain-damaging sports out there. And the coaches are just as culpable. Forcing kids back on the field after sustaining hard hits, shooting them up with cortisone to mask the pain . . . I drooled over Dawson and Paul Walker (may his gorgeousness rest in peace) in “Varsity Blues.” I know what happens in the locker room! Anyway, the other day my husband Doo and I were discussing this very topic when my twins burst through the door, fresh from cross country. My daughter launched right into a description of the acute pain she was experiencing in her right knee and her plans to talk to the trainer the following afternoon. This was my suggestion: “Wait until after your race to see the trainer. If you go tomorrow she’ll insist you sit out. You’ll miss the last meet of the season!” Doo looked at me with a smirk and said, “You’re just as bad as those football parents.” “This is different. She’s not actually hurt. She just has knee pain.” But even as the words were pouring from my mouth I realized he was right. Oh my Lord! I was like those parents, maybe worse. It’s not like her probable last-place finish was crucial to a JV team victory. I wondered: How often have I openly expressed disapproval when one of my kids bails on a practice or game because of injury or sickness? Gasp! The answer wasn’t just “frequently” but “usually.” And the few times I do manage to miraculously suppress my initial response, I’m still thinking to myself, “Suck it up and get out there!” What is wrong with me? When I consider the situation rationally, I know the right call is to take my daughter seriously and encourage her to seek a professional’s advice and possible treatment. But my gut reaction firmly steers me in the opposite direction. Whether I learned it as an athlete growing up or in my brief stint in the military, somewhere along the way weakness of body became equated with weakness of person. And that is simply unacceptable. Shame on me! My sincere apologies, then, to the football parents I have badmouthed over the last year. It seems we all have some “issues” to work on. Peace out.

Prodigy Ethan Bortnick visits Palladium Oct. 26 By Tonya Burton • news@currentinwestfield.com Get ready to be surprised and entertained by a young man Oprah dubbed “one of the world’s smartest and most talented kids.” music Ethan Bortnick, 13-year-old prodigy and musical phenomenon, will play the at 7 p.m., Oct. 26 at the Palladium of Carmel. He will be joined by popular 22-year-old Irish singer and actor, Damian McGinty of Celtic Thunder and Glee. Additionally, the Indianapolis Children’s Choir will join the entertainers on stage. Current caught up with Ethan by phone just a few minutes before he and his manager-father, Gene, were to catch a flight as part of a leg of his 60-city “The Power of Music” tour. When asked what he would like people to know about his upcoming performance in Carmel, Ethan said: “I’d love for everyone to come to the show, especially families. I want them to know it’s going to be a really good time … fun for the whole family … for 2-year-olds to 92-year-olds!” He is not exaggerating. Ethan is engaging, spontaneous and fun-loving. One of the most popular portions of the show is when Ethan solicits an audience member to come on stage and play the ringtone on their phone. From those few notes, in a matter of minutes, Ethan composes an

entire, fully formed song. During the course of the show, he performs everything from classical to pop, from Beethoven to the Beatles. He also does a good impression of Elton John. Ethan said at one point, Elton John told him he should study Chopin. Ethan took the advice to heart: “When Elton John tells you to learn Chopin, you learn Chopin.” Ethan already has an impressive list of accomplishments under his belt. Many of the accolades begin with the word “youngest.” At 9, he was the youngest artist to have his own PBS concert show. At 10, he was the youngest artist to headline a Las Vegas show. He also was certified by the Guinness Book of World Records as the youngest solo musician to headline his own concert tour. Ethan has the musical equivalent of a photographic memory. He began playing piano at 3 and began composing at 5. At that early age, his parents discovered he had the uncanny ability to hear a song once and play it back note for note. Today, during his concert shows, he gauges

the audience’s reactions to his songs and then chooses from a memory bank of several hundred songs. He also creates his own songs. One of Ethan’s favorite musicians, impresario Quincy Jones, said of Ethan, “His ability to create music from stories is unbelievable.” During the phone interview, I asked Ethan about being at an age when his voice is changing. He laughed and said, “You’re right. I am at that age and often find I have to sing in a lower key. Thankfully, I have a great band and we change the key to whatever we need for that night. Sometimes it changes nightly.” Despite Ethan’s extraordinary abilities, he remains a grounded young man. A belief that he maintains today, and famously uttered at age 7 on “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” is, “We have to stay humble.” His heart is as big as his talent and Ethan has moved audiences nationally and internationally as a singer, songwriter, composer and entertainer. He has dedicated many of his performances to charities, helping to raise more than $30 million for nonprofits around the world.

Do you have a bunch of bananas resting on the counter kitchen? Here is a yummy treat for breakfast that will keep your weekday morning simple, sweet and warm. This banana muffin recipe is super easy to make; even the kids can make it the night before. Keep ripe bananas in the freezer and defrost whenever you need to make a quick treat. Note: Research has shown that bananas which are rich in potassium boost brain power. It has also been proven that eating bananas prior to exercise provide enough energy for a strenuous workout. No wonder bananas are the number one fruit for athletes. Raw honey is honey that has not been heated, pasteurized or processed in any way. There’s a huge difference between raw and pasteurized honey. Raw honey (referred to as “liquid gold”) contains vitamins, enzymes, antioxidants and other natural nutrients that make it such a wonderfully healing food. Pasteurized

honey, on the other hand, has been stripped of the beneficial properties through the process of heating reducing its nutritional value. BANANA MUFFINS Prep: 15 minutes Baking: 20 minutes / Serve: 12 muffins Ingredients: 4 bananas (for the richest flavor, use overripe bananas), 1 egg, beaten, 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or any neutral-flavored oil, such as safflower, 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup 100 percent raw honey (depending on ripeness of bananas), 1 1/2 cups whole-wheat flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt Directions: Preheat the oven to 350 F with the

rack in the middle. Line 12 muffin tin with liners or grease well. In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork. Add the egg, oil, and honey and stir to combine. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the remaining ingredients. Fill the muffin cups threefourth full. Bake until a toothpick inserted in a muffin comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Note: Flavor up the batter with any of the following: 1/2 cup chopped, toasted walnuts or pecans, a pinch of cardamon, allspice or grated orange zest, 3 to 4 tablespoons flax or chia seeds, or a handful of fresh blueberries.

The Scoop: How about this: a small, casual, old-fashioned restaurant that serves traditional hotdogs in fun, family oriented atmosphere? If that sounds good to you, then Zacky’s is just the place for you. A wide range of hotdogs prepared in a variety of ways fills the Zacky’s menu. Not into hotdogs? That’s OK, because Zacky’s also offers barbecue items such as ribs, brisket and Italian beef. While you’re there, don’t forget to check out Zacky’s combos and kids’ menu.

DISPATCH Sweet Georgia Brown – The world-famous Harlem Globetrotters will bring their family show to Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis at 2 p.m. Jan. 19 as part of the Harlem Globetrotters 2015 “Washington Generals’ Revenge” Tour. It has been five years since the two have faced off, as the Generals have been searching far and wide for the best players to retool their roster and have been preparing for one thing: victory over the Globetrotters for the first time in nearly half a century. The Globetrotters will honor a Harlem Globetrotters Hometown Hero at each of their 310-plus games in North America. The team is searching for active, wounded or retired members of the military who have made their community proud with their brave service and exemplary character. Fans can nominate a Harlem Globetrotters Hometown Hero at harlemglobetrotters.com. After the game, Globetrotter stars will sign autographs and take photos with fans. Tickets start at $23 and are available at harlemglobetrotters.com, ticketmaster.com, the Bankers Life Fieldhouse box office, or by phone at 800-745-3000.

Conner Prairie turns ‘Scairie’ By Joesph Knoop • news@currentzionsville.com The historic Conner Prairie transforms in time for the spooky holiday season once again, becoming “Conner Scairie” this halloween month. Creatures of haunted myth and folklore inhabit Conner Prairie in a family-friendly event, featuring screenings of Disney’s “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” at Lenape Indian Camp, magic shows, fortune telling, music and more. “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” will also be told through multiple marionette acts. “We just wanted to keep everything family friendly,” said event manager Kelly Backus. “We’re trying to rebrand and give it more of a festival feel.” Conner Scairie is a haunted land inhabited by fun-loving ghouls all vying for election as mayor after the former accidentally transformed himself into a bunny. Guests of all ages are encouraged to dress up in their own Halloween costumes. Children will be able to show off their outfits at Beautisha the Witch’s costume runway. Attendees can also live out their fantasy of being a Ghostbuster in the “Ghostly Vortexes,” launch flying monkeys into the air with an actual catapult and wander Holly’s Hollow, filled with magical creatures and fairy houses. Conner Scairie will also play host to a variety of entertaining shows, like Dr. Acula’s comical Magical Creatures “Lecture.” Master illusionist

C.R. Ryan Demler will risk becoming the headless horseman by putting his neck on the line in his magic show. The Mad Scientist Ed will demonstrate the power of electricity for viewers while attempting to bring his “creation” to life. The event’s pivotal attraction, a haunted hayride, will allow kids to experience the unfortunate travels of Ichabod Crane and meet the headless ghoul. “He is a big attraction,” Backus said. “You’ll come across him and other ghouls.” Attendees will be able to purchase Halloween sweets and food off the grill. Headless Horseman runs from 6 to 9 p.m. Oct. 10-12, 16-19 and 23-26. Activities and hayrides may run past 10 p.m. Tickets on Thursdays and Sundays are $10 in advance, $12 at the gate and free for all members; tickets for Fridays and Saturdays are $14 in advance, $16 at the gate and free for Plus Level members.

protocol. “The hard part of this is that [patients] want their veins done that day – all gone right away after one visit,” Kari said. “The problem is that these issues take years to develop and they can’t always be removed in just one visit. We’re helping to educate the process of how varicose veins form, what causes them, why it’s a chronic disease, and the process we go through to take care and limit reoccurrence by not only taking care of the large veins but the small ones that cause continual issues for people.” According to Kari, there are many people who suffer from varicose and spider veins – men as well as women, Kari said. Though they started out small, they expanded to their second location as well as their staff to accommodate more patients. “All of our clinical staff have experience in vascular disease or cardiology,” Kari said. “And are specifically trained to follow the same treatment process implemented by Dr. Schoonover.” For more information, visit indyveins.com or call 384-3023 (Fishers) or 384-3026 (Carmel).

After three years of having a location in Fishers, Indiana Vein Specialists have opened another clinic in West Carmel, at wellness 10485 Commerce Dr., Suite 100. CEO Kari Schoonover said the medical office specializes in noninvasive varicose and spider vein treatment – all of which was started by Dr. Jeff Schoonover, board certified phlebologist. “All of the work is done in office with laser and ultrasound guided therapy,” Kari said. “Most of our patients are back up and moving around that same day so there’s very little downtime.” Kari said the office that has been open in Fishers has met the needs of their patients, but in order to reach more of Hamilton County, they decided to expand to the “bookend” location in Carmel – effectively serving the east and west ends of Hamilton County. As for how the new location has affected the staff, Kari said they’ve grown and added a few more members to accommodate. “When we started back in 2011, we had four staff members and since then have grown to 10,” Kari said. “We’ve added ultrasound technicians, a nurse practitioner and a physician’s assistant.” Dr. Schoonover will be working between both locations. “He’s very involved with the care for every patient that comes into the office,” Kari said. Though other physicians offer similar treatments, Dr. Schoonover has a specific treatment

Would Hoosier hospitals be able to handle an Ebola outbreak? news@currentincarmel.com

To everyone’s surprise, the once-tribal strain of Ebola has reached the American heartland. Just last week, a Texas wellness healthcare professional flew to Cleveland from Dallas, only hours before coming down with a fever and a positive test result for the African-borne contagion. According to the most recent CDC report, an estimated 375 people could have been exposed to the virus from workplace contact in Texas alone. What about the rest of the nation, and right here in our area? While there have been no cases of Ebola in the state, local healthcare professionals said our hospitals are ready to care for patients in any case. “Indiana University Health facilities across Indiana have experienced medical teams that are specially trained to handle and treat a wide variety of medical conditions, from the most common to the most complex,” said Joy Davis, communications manager for IU North, Saxony and Tipton hospitals. “We have robust plans in place for managing the Ebola virus, and are in regular contact with the CDC, Indiana State Dept. of Health and our healthcare colleagues nationwide to ensure we are following the latest recommendations and protocols to protect our patients, visitors and team members.” Riverview Health said that proactive measures have been taken to properly screen, and if necessary, handle any cases of Ebola that may arise in the hospital. “Riverview Health is following all the latest recommendations from the CDC and IHA and is keeping a close eye on any updates,” said Dr. Tracey Ikerd, Riverview Health director of infection control. “This includes training staff to ask questions regarding symptoms consistent with Ebola and recent travel to West Africa at registration and having appropriate processes and protective equipment in place, such as full-head covers, fluid impervious gowns, knee-high shoe

covers, full-face covers and extended-length gloves suitable for double-gloving.” In effort to also ensure safety among the healthcare team and Riverview Health staff, Ikerd said additional education specific to Ebola will take place this week. “Training will take place in preparation for proper donning and removal of potentially contaminated protective equipment,” he said. Gene Davis, R.N., and director of nursing and infection control at Witham Hospitals, said that it has been imperative for local health facilities to communicate with the CDC on a daily basis in order to monitor outbreaks and learn more about prevention. “Well what we have been doing is of course following all of the events that are going on. We run on conference calls with the CDC and with the Indiana State Dept. of Health,” she said. She noted that her staff has also begun to develop policies and procedures to handle Ebola. “(This) is basically the CDC standards for taking care of these patients. We are developing screening tools so that we can screen patients, like in our emergency room if they’ve traveled outside the country, if they’ve had any fevers and things like that, and so trying to identify if there’s any type of patients that would be of concern,” Gene said. Gene said that prevention and learning how to protect your self is key. “If these patients then are identified then of course we will follow the CDC criteria and guidelines,” she said. “We would not necessarily go into a lock down but we would make sure that person was put into isolation and that that patient was kind of away from any other patients at the time in a location that would ensure that everyone else is safe.” Attempts to reach Community Health Networks and St.Vincent hospitals were unsuccessful prior to press time.

Art capital of Spain: Madrid

NOW OPEN! Mon. - Fri. 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Sat. 10 a.m.-3 p.m.

Commentary by Lana Bandy A trip to Spain wouldn’t be complete without a stop in Madrid, one of the art capitals of the world. Travel Madrid is home to many great museums, but two of the most important sit right in the city center. The Museo del Prado and the Centro de Arte Reina Sofia are at the top of every visitor’s list. The Prado is comprised of many pieces from the Spanish Royal Family’s collection. It features some of the oldest works in the world, dating back to the 12th Century. While the Prado’s highlights are its Spanish paintings, it offers Italian, Dutch, German, Flemish, French and British artists as well. Masterpieces by Rubens, Van Dyck, Rembrandt, Raphael and Botticelli are scattered throughout. But the most attention is paid to the great Diego Velazquez, the court painter to King Felipe IV. Velazquez’s Las Meninas canvas has been described as the most perfect visual representation achieved in the history of painting. The huge work, completed in 1656, features the king’s family, with Infanta Margarita (the daughter) most prominent. The other 11 figures include royal servants, the king and queen (whose reflections are seen in a mirror), a dog and Velazquez himself, painting the scene. For fans of contemporary art, the Reina Sofia is the place to visit. Down the street from the

Prado, this collection houses works by Pablo Picasso, Joan Miro and Salvador Dali, among others. The key piece is Picasso’s masterpiece Guernica. This controversial work is Picasso’s response to war, especially the bombing of the town of Gernika during the Spanish Civil War. The huge horizontal painting is in just three colors – black, white and gray – and is made up

of symbols displaying the dark miseries of war combined with the lightness of hope. The woman holding her dead child, the dying horse, the light bulb sun and the bull are all prominent subjects designed in Picasso’s signature abstract style.

Traditional sarcophagus of King David (Photo by Don Knebel)

Who’s in David’s tomb? Commentary by Don Knebel A building south of the Armenian section of Jerusalem’s Old City is probably the only building on earth deemed holy by Jews, Travel Christians and Muslims. The building also shows how historical realities can become irrelevant in the face of religious traditions. When the Crusaders captured Jerusalem in 1099, they discovered on Mt. Zion the ruins of a fourth-century church that was once a synagogue. Muslim residents repeated stories from the 10th century that the synagogue was built over the tomb of biblical King David. Christians said the church was associated with Jesus’ last days on earth. So the Crusaders erected the Church of St. Mary of Zion to honor both traditions. An empty stone box in a first floor room symbolized David’s tomb and a larger space above was linked with the upper room where Jesus met with his disciples. When the Ottoman Turks gained control of Jerusalem, they added a minaret to the building and converted the upper room into a mosque honoring David, whom Muslims consider a prophet. For about 800 years, Jewish residents of Jerusalem ignored claims associating the Cru-

sader building with David because the Hebrew Scriptures say David is entombed in the “City of David,” hundreds of yards to the east. After the 1948 war, Jordan barred Jewish access to that and other important sites in Jerusalem, including the Western Wall. The tiny room with the stone box was one place having any claimed connection to Jewish history where Jews could gather to pray. So the box was covered with blue velvet richly embroidered with representations of musical instruments and Hebrew text proclaiming, “David the king of Israel lives forever.” A small sign over the entrance proclaimed “King David’s Tomb” in English, Hebrew and Arabic. Following Jewish tradition, only men now enter the “tomb” and women view the covered box through an opening in the wall. Jews pray in “King David’s Tomb” on the first floor, Christians pray in the “upper room” and Muslims pray on the roof. No one cares if David is really in his tomb. So, David, wherever you are, rest in peace. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP. For the full column visit donknebel. com.

Sitting outside is a fall treasure. (Submitted photo)

A forward, look back

Commentary by Randy Sorrell

The fall frenzy for outdoor living has arrived. Homeowners are squeezing every last ounce of incredible outdoor living into indoors their lives in anticipation of winter’s inevitable hibernation. Family’s thirst to install projects so they can enjoy them yet this year and be ready for the first sunny weekend in March is delightful. And smart. It’s a grateful sign of improved perspectives and lifted spirits. Let’s appreciate the bold trends established this season that will fuel 2015. BOLD COLORS were “very happy, because we’re all feeling better” according to GardenMedia’s Suzi McCoy. Brightly colored accent cushions and rugs help flourish once tired spaces into magnets of fun! QUALITY FURNITURE at least entered conversations. I understand, it’s difficult to drop several thousand dollars on upscale patio furniture after an extensive outdoor project. But, quality furniture will last decades. Proper winter storage and regular covering also will extend the life by several years.

“I am 70 years old. I have been taking medication for blood pressure and cholesterol. Needless to say, I was worried if I could start an exercise program safely. John Karesh made it a nice, gradual transition and I am surprised what I can do now. I feel better now than when I was in my 50s.” -Janice H.

Merge indoors/outdoors by night lighting. Improve safety. Enhance romance. GRILLING has always been a determined hobby for outdoor living enthusiasts and the Green Egg has elevated it to a cult-like level. Who knew I would be talking about spice rubs with Rotary buddies? Get courageous with a pot of rosemary, thyme and basil for extreme flavors. It’s incredibly entertaining to snag a few herbs and chop them up for guests. The fragrance explodes the patio and kitchen with brilliant delight. Let’s push the season until the icy cold extinguishes our determination. Extend outdoor living into December with outdoor heaters/fire feature, festive lighting and sheer endurance to enjoy the outdoors like never before. Your friends, family and life will be thrilled.

Brightly colored cabinetry enlivens a room

grow your business now

Commentary by David Decker Vintage no longer. Colorful cabinets are back in style, and becoming one of the most popular design trends of 2014. Up until indoors recently, designers had turned away from creating cabinet colors that were anything but neutral hues such as browns, beiges and whites. But today, designers and manufacturers are showcasing spaces with brightly colored cabinetry that livens up the feel of the room. So today, we will delve into popular colors you can choose for your kitchen cabinets. Blue – Blue kitchen cabinets are a great addition to any kitchen, especially if you are looking to add coastal, nautical, or even country cottagestyle feeling. There is an endless list of blue hues that you can choose from: such as teal, turquoise, navy and cyan. Rejuvenating and energizing, adding the color blue to your kitchen cabinets can bring an air of comfort to your kitchen. Mint Green – Mint green is a very popular color in design today. You can see it in everything from clothing to furniture and home design. Adding mint green to your kitchen can bring a lively yet vintage feeling to the room. White – White kitchen cabinetry has a timeless look. A simple kitchen in white can make a perfect backdrop for any accent color you wish to include. You can pair white kitchen cabinets with any backsplash color of your choice. If you have a problem committing to an accent color,

this is the best way to ease your nerves. Black – Black is a perfect fit for any contemporary kitchen because it can bring a glossy, lacquered look to your surfaces. Many designers are combining black and white together to create very modern looking designs. Gray – Finally, there is one color that never goes out of style: gray. This timeless color can be used on any of your permanent home items such as tile or countertops. And because gray is available in so many different shades, you’re sure to find one that fits your home décor plans. Cabinets can serve as an accent against

neutral hues such as browns, beiges and whites that are used for the major features of the room. Then, you can use colorful accessories such as towels, curtains, wall art and other design pieces to accent the color of the cabinetry.
