Group hands out classroom grants

By Maggie Smith • news@currentincarmel.com

The first-grade teachers at Smoky Row Elementary were recently awarded one of 12 grants from the Carmel Education Foundaeducation tion to help improve classroom education. The $960 grant will allow the school to purchase 24 boogie boards for the four first-grade classrooms. But these boogie boards aren’t the kind used to surf the waves at the beach. They’re e-writers that allow students to write and erase without using paper or individual dry erase boards. Kristen Cannady, a first-grade teacher at Smoky Row, said the boogie boards provide the fun feel of a tablet without the hassle of batteries. First-grade teachers Kristen Cannady, Moira Bradley, Tamera Dillon and Cecilia Trenshaw got the idea for the Boogie Boards from a mom who bought them for her own children and loved how they used them at home. “When (Trenshaw) introduced them to us, we knew instantly that our students would love to use these as another method of communicating and exploring math and literacy concepts,” Cannady said. “Students’ engagement and focus with our tasks involving these boards will be our measure of whether

ON THE WEB

or not they’re an effective piece of our classroom environment.” Cananady said that Jill Pillsbury of My Toy Garden in Carmel was instrumental in helping them acquire the boogie boards. In addition, the teachers were able to purchase protective sleeves for the e-writers to preserve them for future students. Since the Carmel Education Foundation was founded in 1966, it has awarded more than $610,000 in education grants to teachers and schools throughout Carmel. This year, the foundation awarded a total of $125,000 in grants, with $2,500 of the award money donated by Ingersoll Rand Corporation, according to co-executive director Barbara Danquist. The foundation’s funding priorities include: innovation, creativity, educational value, student involvement, applicant commitment and connection to state academic standards, standards of Carmel schools and school improvement plans. It does not issue grants for apparel, food and party supplies, incentives or monetary supplies, basic curriculum books without an innovative program or compensation and benefits for employees or students.

Road construction

State of the schools

School board workshop

Contractors for the Indiana Department of Transportation are hoping to have the final work on 151st Street east of U.S. 31 completed before Thanksgiving. That means the new northbound “split diamond” interchange ramp segments will be open in time for holiday shopping at Clay Terrace and Village Park Plaza. To view a map of the best routes to take and for additional construction updates visit www.currentincarmel.com.

Last week Carmel schools superintendent Nicholas Wahl addressed the members of the Carmel Chamber of Commerce and delivered his State of the Schools address. He focused on a re-organization of the district’s goals with a new student-centered approach. He said that everyone in the district is working hard to improve everyday, and that even after only three months on the job, he realized Carmel has a strong formula for success already in place. “The leaders of tomorrow are in our classrooms today,” Wahl said. To read more about the speech and Wahl’s plans for the coming school year visit www.currentincarmel.com.

The school board members, assistant superintendents and superintendent reviewed 2012-13 I-STEP results, student end-of-course assessment test results, SAT scores and ACT scores. Data is available at the district website, www1.ccs.k12.in.us, select the DATA tab at the top and go to District Dashboard to see results under Student Performance Data section.

Fresh bodies With the recent resignation of two members of the Carmel City Center Community Development Corporation board, the threemember board was in need of new volunteers. And this past week Mayor Jim Brainard appointed Carmel resident John Ragland to the 4CDC board. To fill the city council’s appointment, Luci Snyder said she expects the council to approve long-time performing arts leader John Clair. For the latest updates visit www. currentincarmel.com.

Genelle’s daughter-in-law Heather is direct, “The tumor was pressing on her spinal cord. I knew things had to happen quickly.” At Community North, they did. “She wasn’t getting responsive care where she lived so we flew her up here. The next day she was seeing the doctor,” says Heather. The affiliation between Community Hospital North and East and MD Anderson Cancer Network™ is what impressed Genelle and Heather the most. “When you find out MD Anderson is number one* in the nation it removes any doubt,” says Genelle. Heather adds, “My sense of confidence came from their sense of urgency.” Cancer is proof that there are no dumb questions. So keep asking. And take comfort in knowing that the answers start here.

Brebeuf grad walks into a model life By Dawn Pearson • news@currentincarmel.com The runway may be miles from Carmel, but it feels like home for Clark Bockelman. A 2010 graduate of Brebeuf Jeprofile suit College Preparatory School in Indianapolis, Bockelman grew up in Brownsburg and Carmel. He is now the face and body of the modeling world. “Bockelmania” as described by his agency, Wilhelima, in New York City, is making Bockelman a household face. While attending the University of Denver, Bockelman was discovered by Bruce Weber, a well-known fashion industry photographer. Two days later the 21-year-old was shooting his first editorial with the legendary photographer, according to his agent Skyla Veltman of Wilhelmina Models in New York. “Bockelman hadn’t heard of Weber but has come to know him well,” Veltman said. And he said he isn’t looking back right now. “I’m enjoying the ride, and I did it because I am only young once, and it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity I couldn’t let pass by,” Bockelman said. His family still lives here, and he does visit, but his career keeps him on the road. “I just spent the last few days in Indiana for my grandmother’s 84th birthday, catching up with high school friends and teachers, and I even helped run electrical wiring in our new house,” he said. “Somehow in all of this I found time to go hunting, and I got my skis waxed at one of my favorite local stores. These are my memories of Indiana, it’s nice to come home because my family and close friends support what I am doing,” he said. “I get the opportunity to meet a hugely diverse group of people while traveling the world and experience the cultures in some of the most interesting cities,” he said. His newfound fame hasn’t changed him a bit. A former high school classmate, Shelby Kroeger, remembers this of Bockelman: “In high school, everyone was convinced that Clark was from California because of his naturally tanned skin and bleach-blonde hair, and nobody could believe he was from Carmel, Ind. Although I did not know him tremendously

well, every time you saw him in the hallways or in class he was always smiling, and while he was incredibly bright and intelligent, he had a very laid-back demeanor. At that time, nobody realized he would be the much-buzzed about supermodel he is today. It is so wild seeing him, a fellow classmate from Indiana, in magazines and on social media.” Bockelman said he’s had wonderfully exciting experiences. “Like the time I opened and closed the Calvin Klein show in Milan for the 2014 spring/summer collection. I was lucky enough to work closely with Italo Zuccheli, the men’s creative director of Calvin Klein Collection,” he said. “I will always remember my first job working with Bruce Weber and Carine Roitfeld for the second issue of CR Fashion Book.” When asked if Calvin Klein launched him into his modeling career he said, “Calvin Klein has a history of launching successful careers for male models, and I hope my name is added to that list.”

‘Bar food with a chef-driven twist’ By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com

Visitors and residents of downtown Carmel soon will have another dining-and-drinking option as the owners of a Dublin, Ohio-based eatery finalize their plans to open the Pint Room in Main Street’s Sophia Square coming soon complex. “We just like the roundabouts,” joked co-owner Derek Rapkin, when asked why the group chose Carmel. “No, honestly, we just feel like Carmel is a great fit for our concept,” Rapkin said. “People in Carmel appreciate good food and good service and that’s what we plan to deliver.” The company behind the Pint Room is RE Group; it is comprised of Rapkin and partners Jason Burch and Keith Moreland. They opened the first Pint Room in Dublin in 2012. Carmel will be the second location in 2014. According to Rapkin, the menu will be similar to the Dublin concept: a solid selection of small plates, Kobe beef burgers, salads and sandwiches, with some nice vegetarian options. But the star attraction will be the selection of draft craft beer; a staggering assortment of 150 brews in glass-encased coolers surrounding the dining room.

Theta Chi Fraternity has purchased an office building in Carmel and plans to relocate its international headquarters from business Indianapolis to Carmel in the coming months. “We’re very excited,” said Theta Chi Executive Director Michael Mayer. “We felt it was an ideal location for our organization.” The building at 865 W. Carmel Dr. currently houses Hamilton Title and Atlantic Mortgage companies. Hamilton Title CEO Daniel Fowler said the company had no plans to move. “Theta Chi is a great addition to the building, and we look forward to having them as our neighbor,” he said.

Drees creates the spaces. You create the memories. if a new home is on your holiday wish list, Drees has a large selection of homes ready now!

The Pint Room plans to occupy the southeast corner of the Sophia Square apartment building. (Staff photo)

“We call our menu ‘bar food with a chef-driven twist,’” Rapkin said. “We use only fresh produce and fresh ingredients. We don’t even have a freezer. We change our menu about every three months to keep things seasonal and new. Also we want people to know that, even though we feature a bar, our dining room is completely kid-friendly.” The group will be importing executive chef Ryan Romito and general manager Joe Guerra from its Dublin operation. They also hope to have their nearly 200-seat restaurant and bar open in time for March Madness.

Theta Chi relocating to Carmel By Pete Smith • pete@youarecurrent.com

The building offers more than 30,000 square feet of space for the new headquarters to grow – something that was lacking at its Indianapolis location. “Our current facility would be basically running out of space,” Mayer said, citing that as the primary reason for the move. The headquarters will employ 28 full-time staff members and also serve as an educational training facility. Various meetings and conferences held at the new headquarters could bring in hundreds of attendees to the educational events. Theta Chi maintains chapters at Ball State, Indiana and Purdue universities. The fraternity also has a presence at Indiana State University and has historically had a presence at Valparaiso University. “We feel Carmel is a great city, and we’re excited that we’ll be able to bring some jobs to the city,” Mayer said.

All things chocolate celebrated

By Chris Bavender • chris@youarecurrent.com

The 22nd annual Chocolate Sunday gourmet brunch is just around the corner but there’s still time to get tickets. The event, sponsored by the Alzheimer’s Association, is set for food 11:30 a.m. Nov. 24 at the Ritz Charles. “I think there’s still kind of a stigma about Alzheimer’s disease – people think it’s a death sentence if you will – so we, as an association are really trying to raise awareness that there is hope out there,” said Leah Shattuck, communications director for the Alzheimer’s Association. “We are raising money and funds to find a hopeful cure, so being a part of an event like Chocolate Sunday allows people to participate in a national movement that has got to happen.” Emceed by retired WTHR Chief Meteorologist Bob Gregory, Chocolate Sunday will feature chocolate treats, a gourmet brunch, a silent auction, and a keynote speech by 17-year-old Jason Hatke, a senior at Lebanon High School. “His father, Mike, was diagnosed with younger-onset Alzheimer’s almost five years ago at the age of 46,” Shattuck said. “So, Jason has spent his entire high school years learning first-hand what Alzheimer’s is and how it can impact a family. He’s been a young voice and young advocate for raising awareness about Alzheimer’s and empowering his peers.” “Ever since I was a kid, I’ve wanted to do

something to help people, but I didn’t know how. I have looked at this (dad’s diagnosis) as a blessing and a curse,” Hatke said. “Every day I have to watch my dad die slowly, but it’s a blessing to be able to talk with people, young and old. It’s a bond, knowing that people are going through the exact same thing.” Educating people about the symptoms of younger-onset Alzheimer’s is important, Shattuck said, so they can get help earlier and are able to plan for the future. “So many other diseases in the U.S. are being funded to get the research they need for drug trials and further research to find a cure but there isn’t really money for this, and it’s the sixth leading cause of death in the country,” she said. “I think many will see over the next two decades that if Alzheimer’s hasn’t affected your life, it will. You will know someone with it or someone who cares for someone with it.” Chocolate Sunday tickets are $125, $100 and $85.

‘Petacular’ helps animals in need

By Terri Spilman • news@currentincarmel.com

Walk “ TwoIntoBlondes A Home...

“

Whoever said, “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks,” never met Max, a 10-year-old black Labrador retriever plagued with fundraiser health issues. Max was surrendered by his family and is now thriving thanks to a new family and services provided by the Humane Society for Hamilton County. Max’s story is among the many touching adoption stories and tales of survival that will be shared at the Humane Society’s eighth annual Tinsel & Tails Holiday Petacular fundraising event to be held from 6 to 10 p.m. Nov. 21 at Ritz Charles in Carmel. Julie St. James and her husband said they have a soft spot for adopting senior dogs as they are often passed over in shelters for cuter, younger dogs. “Max is the fourth senior dog we’ve adopted from the humane society. In general, we’ve found older dogs are much faster to adapt to the household routine, are less demanding and have fewer behavioral issues,” Julie said. Max had several medical issues - dry eyes, an ear infection and several malignant tumors. He was 40 pounds overweight and could barely walk across a room when he was surrendered to the humane society. The organization paid for all of Max’s medications and procedures during the fostering pro-

cess, including the removal of several malignant tumors. “Whether he’s running to the car for the next adventure or snoring loudly at my feet while I work, he reminds me every day that life should be lived with gusto and joy regardless of age,” Julie said. Tinsel & Tails is open to the public and includes a reception with hors d’oeuvres, a silent auction and dinner followed by a chance to meet the cats and dogs featured in the survival tales.

Doctor finds success as author

By Gary Boskovich • news@currentincarmel.com What happens when the Indiana Pacers clash with the worlds of medicine, business and family relationships? books An author ends up with a book that will keep readers on the edge of their seat. Dr. Doug Zipes, a Carmel cardiologist, has achieved that feat with his second novel Zipes “Ripples In Opperman’s Pond” – a story of twin brothers who forged a strong bond growing up but travel different roads as adults. Their paths cross later in life, but this time as sibling rivals conflicted by the demands of their respective professions. “My style of writing is to be as factual as possible,” Zipes said. He drew from his wealth of personal experiences and expertise and wove them into a tale of greed, intrigue and suspense. “Ripples In Opperman’s Pond” is a thriller that pits business ethics against family bonds and takes readers from the United States to Africa, Russia and

places in between. “The trial scene in the book is one of the best scenes I’ve ever written,” he said. “The feedback I’ve received from all over the world has been spectacular.” Although Zipes has published medical textbooks used by cardiologists the world over, he said writing fiction is his passion. “(It’s) an outlet for my creative juices that need expression, and is so different from medical science writing,” he said. Zipes has had the opportunity to present copies of his books to political dignitaries including Shimon Peres, the President of Israel, and former U.S. President Bill Clinton, who he presented with a copy of his first book “The Black Widows.” Zipes said he attended a book signing at the Carmel Clay Public Library in July and is open to additional signings should the opportunity present itself in the future. Readers can find the book in both paperback and e-reader versions at Amazon, iUniverse and Barnes & Noble.

Blair Clark has just released his second CD, “Blair Clark Sings the Great American Songbook,” which was recorded live at the Jazz music Kitchen in Indianapolis. An acclaimed jazz and R&B musician who has toured both nationally and internationally, Clark has called Carmel. his home for the past 25 years. He is the founder and co-owner of the Midwest School of Voice in downtown Carmel, along with his wife, Heather Ramsey-Clark. Vocally, he has been compared to Nat King Cole and Al Jarreau. “The songs of the Great American Songbook are story songs,” Clark said. “I wanted to be true to those stories while adding a different spice to them. I didn’t want to tell the stories the same way everyone else has, so I added some of my own flavor - some blues, some R&B.” Those new spices are evident on tunes such as “Autumn Leaves,” “The Shadow of Your Smile” and “When I Fall in Love,” all of which are traditionally presented as ballads. But Clark has infused them with Latin rhythms and a Bossa Nova beat, which makes them feel brand new. He collaborated on the arrangements with sax player Mike Strickland. While Clark’s calendar rapidly is filling up with jazz festival appearances, a pending European tour and performances in jazz clubs in Chicago and beyond, he still finds time to appear locally.

Recording artist Blair Clark has released a new CD called “Blair Clark Sings the Great American Songbook.” (Submitted photo)

Clark will perform with keyboardist Allen Burke at Ocean Prime on Nov. 22 and 23. He also will appear at Carmel’s Holiday on the Square at the Gazebo at 3:30 p.m. Nov. 23. “Blair Clark Sings the Great American Songbook” is available for download on iTunes, Rhapsody and Amazon. His next CD, “In a Perfect World,” a collaboration with Preston Glass and Evelyn “Champagne” King, is expected to be released next summer.

UNITED WAY’S FOCUS ON

BASIC NEEDS IN HAMILTON COUNTY

obituary Vangel Johnson, 101, formerly of Home Place, passed away peacefully Nov. 4, 2013, at a private care facility in Dunlap, Tenn. Vangel Kathryn was born to Clarence and Johnson Ethel (Fulkerson) Snodgrass on April 1, 1912, in Kirklin, Ind. She attended Kirklin schools, and after graduation she worked at the Indiana Statehouse and taught dance to young ladies in Kirklin. She married Charles Johnson, also of Kirklin, in 1939 and shared his life for more than 50 years until his death in 1992. She worked at Blocks in Glendale and was a member of Tri Kappa service sorority. She was preceded in death by her husband Charles; her son, Jon Scott; her sister, Vera Miles; and her brother, Garrett Snodgrass. She is survived by her daughter Marcia (Dick) Miller; her son, Jerry (Joanne) Johnson; six grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren. A small memorial gathering will be conducted at Orchard Park Church near Carmel on Nov. 20. She will be buried at Oak Hill cemetery.

The picture to the left was painted by Robbie, a 2-year-old blond-haired, blue-eyed Hamilton County resident who died at the hands of his abusive father in 1991. Robbie and his 3-year-old sister, Brittany, were killed when their drunk father drove the family car through a stop sign and over an embankment. They died at his hands just as he had threatened their mother would happen if she left him.

Each year Alternatives shelters 400 women and children and serves another 300 victims through outreach programs. Hamilton County residents comprise 37 percent of the victims served by Alternatives. Thanks to your United Way contributions, thousands of people like Anna are able to take the first step over the bridge from the life they want to leave behind to one of long-term security.

Robbie’s painting is a reminder that every Hamilton County neighborhood has at least one home where violence is occurring. Victims are paying a high price— often the ultimate price—at the hands of their abuser.

For more than 90 years, United Way has helped provide people in need with basic necessities like food, clothing, shelter and access to services that keep them safe and healthy. By helping people meet their most urgent needs today, we’re supplying them with the tools and knowledge to strive for a better life. That’s where United Way’s other community investments in education, income stability and health can make a huge difference. Because you give, United Way is investing in a network of programs and services that is not just helping people improve their own lives, but it’s actually changing our community for the better.

Though Robbie and Brittany’s story ended tragically, hundreds of other Hamilton County residents are getting the tools and support they need to survive domestic violence. Anna was one of the “lucky” ones. She came to Alternatives Incorporated—a United Way agency providing shelter, education and intervention for victims of domestic abuse— after law enforcement rescued her. Having beaten her unconscious, Anna’s husband attempted to drown her. Anna’s message to other victims: “You are worthy to live a life of freedom. Alternatives gave me back my freedom.”

Carmel Church finds new mission in Guatemala

In 2007, volunteers from the Outreach Program at Carmel Lutheran Church traveled to Guatemala intending to build housvolunteers ing and host Bible school for the poorest of the poor in the tiny village of El Maguey. Through frequent visits and forged relationships, the church has adopted the village and literally is sustaining local children through better nutrition and enabling residents to take the initiative in the preservation of their own. El Maguey is located in the state of Zacapa in Guatemala and has a population of about 300 people. Over the past several years, mission volunteers have taken about three trips per year and built 13 houses. They also provide health services such as clinics for eye glasses and blood-sugar testing, and they provide school supplies and books. According to Dave Reed, who is a member of the Central American Lutheran Mission Society – a large group of 40 Lutheran churches that band together doing mission work primarily in Guatemala, Panama and Belize – the outreach team’s mission shifted from making better buildings to improving the actual physical well-being of the children. “The elementary school principal said the thing we need more than a new building is help taking care of nutrition for the children since many of

them are malnourished.” That led the group to Incaparina, which according to the packaging is a mixture of corn and soy flour that provides a high-quality protein and is enhanced with vitamins and minerals that promote growth, development and maintenance of the body. They purchased a supply for each student ($40 per student per year) with enough for them to have one serving each day. “We’ve been able to see a physical change, and it’s really neat,” said Amy Bultemeier about the effect the protein drink is having on the students. Bultemeier organized the most recent mission trip along with her husband, Shelby. “It may be the only meal they get all day. It’s been huge for their learning,” she said.

“Our role on the mission trips began with house construction along with organizing and running the vacation Bible school. Over the years, it has changed a little bit. We’ve helped them grow and gotten to see them take charge of a lot of elements. Their community now is starting to reach out and rebuild homes for each other. Just a little encouragement can go a long way in helping them succeed in doing it on their own,” Bultemeier said. Carmel Lutheran’s Outreach Team raises funds for the mission trips through a Cookie Walk during Christmas with funds matched by Thrivent Financial. The church has also formed Wiffle por Casas to organize a whiffle ball tournament to raise money to build houses.

U.S. Rep. Susan Brooks talks about the NSA, tax reform, education and what she accomplished during the government shutdown Interview by Pete Smith Current recently sat down with Carmel resident U.S. Rep. Susan cover story Brooks (R-Ind.) to talk about her first year in Congress and what she hopes to accomplish in the next. Current: So what’s been most surprising to you about your first year in D.C.? Brooks: The pace – and I have had fast-paced jobs in the past – but I will say that the pace is even faster. I know it may not look like that to the average citizens. When your constituents come into your office and you try and meet with them, what are the main topics of conversation? Well it really depends. I would say the business interests that come in – and you know they could be anything from banking industry to realtors to manufacturers – so when the business people come in, they want to share with us what their thoughts are on tax reform, they usually come in and share with us which regulations are a challenge for them. You know, so like for the banking industry it would be Dodd-Frank. Or for manufacturing it might be EPA. From constituents, what’s the main topic? When families or individuals are coming in, they’re usually coming in because we have linedup tours for them. One thing that was really fun, during the shutdown – which was not fun – but during the shutdown, for any school group to get a tour of the Capitol, I had to be on the tour. So they couldn’t get into the Capitol unless I personally was with them during the tour. So I conducted – with staff that really knew all the facts – I conducted about 10 school tours during that time – which was really fun. It was mostly eighth-graders. Are you going to run again next year? That’s in the gameplan, yes. I’ve certainly learned as a freshman, it’s a fairly senioritybased system. In terms of committee assignments and truly just in terms of building relationships so that you can be an influencer. You were one of only two House Republicans that voted to end the government shutdown. Why did you vote for the compromise? In the House. Sen. (Dan) Coats (R-Ind) voted for it in the Senate. I was not pleased when it went

into a government shutdown to begin with. And the voters wanted, and continue to want us to fight on (Obamacare), to be quite frank. So we fought on that. But at the point it came to bumping up against the debt ceiling, that’s what did it for me. I could not risk a continued downgrade of our country’s credit rating. I really believed over time that the stock market would drop significantly and would react. How does the debt ceiling tie in to things like Medicare and Social Security negotiations? That’s the largest driver of the debt. I think (President Obama’s) legacy could be – if he chooses to lead on this – helping us save those systems for my kids, who are 20 and 23. Because, let me just tell ya, that is being taken out of their paycheck now, and because of the demographics of the country, those systems won’t be there for them the way that they are for seniors now. What’s the one thing you would most like to accomplish in the next year? I think that if we had a budget that would help us make priorities in this country as to how we want to spend taxpayers dollars. And right now that prioritization isn’t happening. Would you support a subsidy to fund local mass transit? Now for projects to get funded they have to go through what I would call a competitive process within the agency. (And any money for a specific project like mass transit in Indianapolis) comes from the Dept. of Transportation. We are

following it, but it clearly is a state issue at this point. So mass transit in Indianapolis will most likely just be a local issue? People have always thought the federal government will step up and be the largest funder of it, and I have expressed concern in meetings that the organizations maybe should not count on that because I think that a lot of the federal transit money will be given to those projects that are already in the works. Is there anything you would like to let people know about? I’ve actually gotten very focused on computer science and how do we infuse computer science education into our high schools and our middle schools because there are going to be so many (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) jobs and so many computing jobs in the future. And in this country we’re not keeping up with the education needs to provide those jobs. Is that a role for the federal government? Yes. Because we actually got an amendment through the House in the reauthorization of the elementary K-12 bill to add computer science as a core academic subject. Which means that the federal funding that schools get can now – although it hasn’t passed the Senate yet – can now be used to improve the computer science offerings in schools, AP exams or bringing in the right teachers for computer science. We’ve also got higher-ed reauthorization coming up. A lot of people are struggling with highered costs and what they are getting from their

higher education degrees. So how can we make sure that there is incredible value and that it is still affordable and accessible for people to get higher education? Is there any groundswell to react to NSA wiretapping and electronic surveillance of communications? I visited NSA last week because there is a lot of concern about what their authority is and what they’re doing. It is a huge issue in Congress. I believe (the issue) will be addressed – whether it’s reauthorization of parts of the Patriot Act. We spent a couple of hours there. It was very, very helpful to ask Gen. (Keith) Alexander very tough questions. We got answers to questions without equivocation. I do believe they are a very important agency in helping keep us safe.

Badmouthing the wealthy Since President Barack Obama loves to badmouth the wealthy, we thought we’d take a moment to defend them. Well, one of them, anyway. Bill Gates, of Microsoft fame (Yes, he built that!). As you may have heard, through the work of The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, he has helped to eradicate polio in India. Now, we know Obama won’t brag about this, but we will. Eradicated polio in India! Just to be clear, Obama is now increasing the taxes on people like Gates, thinking it is more important to send yet more money to Washington. Oh, sure, that money will be much better spent in D.C. But, we should be fair: Obama did eradicate any semblance of a viable healthcare Website, didn’t he? ••• Now that our Liar in Chief is backpedaling on his “If you like your (health-insurance) plan, you can keep it” promise, we continue to see more of Obama’s true character (or lack of it). We believe this all amounts to nothing more than a bait-and-switch tactic, which, in the private sector, is illegal. We also find it amusing listening to Obama refer to these soon-to-be-cancelled policies as sub-par. Well, shouldn’t it be our choice whether we want to keep a sub-par product? After all, if it weren’t for America’s love of all things sub-par, you wouldn’t be in office, Mr. President, would you? ••• Hey, just asking: Where did the Libertarian Party go?

The art of not shaving Commentary by Terry Anker In solidarity with my fellow Y chromosomes, this year I am participating in the annual ritual known by the rather clever portmanteau, Movmember (http://us.movember.com). Much like the wearing of pink in October for National Breast Cancer Awareness Month shows solidarity and support for those affected by the disease, men are encouraged to allow the hair on their upper lip to grow unfettered for 31 days to bring forward discussions of prostate and testicular cancer and other health concerns related to males. While the international movement really only calls upon us to grow mustaches, I’ve decided to make the awkward transition from clean-shaven to burly by allowing for a full beard – perhaps to be reduced only at month’s end. Like much of life’s passage this has been a learning experience. Initially, I undertook the mission as more of a lark than a serious commitment. Having not seen my face under fur, it struck my curiosity. What I’ve found is that folks are very curious

as to why my normal, hairless facial appearance has been altered. Several times per day, conversations begin with some remark about the motivation for my unshorn countenance and end with often intimate retellings of how men’s cancers have affected them or those they love. In a whisker of time, I’ve learned formerly unknown personal details of men and women that I’ve known for many years. Sometimes the stories are heartwarming and other times they are tragic. But a silly beard turned out to be the key to open the dialogue. I’ve also taken note that these things itch – a lot. Those experienced in matters hirsute tell me that the sensitivity to my new outwear will pass in a matter of days. But even as the scratching diminishes, I hope our attention to men’s health remains.

I’m sure everyone has had a time where they felt alone or socially isolated. Just think back to high school. Are you cringing yet? Well now imagine what it must be like to attend school with an intellectual disability at a time when everyone is forming cliques. The organizers of a group known as Best Buddies did, and that’s why they work to pair students with disabilities with a peer that promises to build a friendship with them. Organizers say, “Participants see each other twice a month and make contact once per week in order to build quality friendships. These friendship programs, and the socialization opportunities that they provide, help erase the invisible line that often separates students or adults with and without intellectual disabilities.” And organizers say the most important part of Best Buddies is the one-to-one friendship that forms as the kids do everyday things like meet for lunch, talk on the phone, go to games, go to the movies or just hang out. And now adults can help support the program. Carmel Clay Middle School’s Best Buddies chapter and its Student Athletic Board are teaming for a toy drive. On Nov. 21 Clay plays Carmel in seventh- and eighth-grade boys basketball. Any fan that donates a new toy at the door will be admitted free. Carmel’s Best Buddies program is a growing chapter and has almost 200 members. It meets monthly and has various after-school activities throughout the year. For more information about Best Buddies email Risa May at rmay@ccs.k12.in.us or Jana Cosler at jcosler@ccs.k12.in.us. Pete Smith is the managing editor of Current in Carmel.

Editor: It is with regret that I see Current in Carmel distort the Catholic faith and its love for all people. Everyone, including those with same-sex attraction, is embraced by the Catholic church. An article in the Nov. 5 issue (“An evening of laughter, love” p.13) reported an openly gay actor was discriminated against when he was not permitted to give a speech to students at his Catholic high school alma mater after announcing his same-sex attraction and plans to marry a man. Unfortunately, an important part of this story was not shared with readers. The Catholic faith lovingly believes that marriage is a faithful, exclusive and lifelong union

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

We are on the brin of the holiday season and I haven’t yet put in a shameless plug for my book. (Gasp!) But no worries, I’m going to do it right now, leaving you plenty of time to humor make a huge dent in your shopping list and put some much-needed ca-ching in my bank account. So without further ado … buy my book! Titled “Peace Out!”, this uniquely named anthology retails for an amazingly low, low price of $15.99, making it the perfect gift for friends and foes alike. Didn’t know I’d written one? Well now you do, so buy it. You can easily order 10 or 20 authentic copies at either Amazon.com or Barnesandnoble.com, and still have time to get your kids to basketball practice. What’s it about? Me, of course. Along with my bald husband and crazy kids and a since-deceased gecko, among other things. In a nutshell, “Peace Out!” is a collection of the best articles from my first three years of writing for Current. That means for most of you, it’s brand new hilarious material, including but not limited to, how Doo came to be called Doo and my infamous observations of a certain 2007 PTO fundraiser which nearly got me fired. Even if you’ve had the honor of reading my stuff since the beginning (lucky you), my book will be a glorious walk down memory lane.

If you order now, you can also have the pleasure of reading my favorite hate mail, which I have conveniently collected for you in an easily accessible appendix. Still not convinced? How about this angle: You’d be helping out a public school teacher who is currently working 10 hours a day without a contract. No? Nothing? Well, if not for me, then think about how many of your out-of-town friends and family who would just love to come home to a real, honest, highly entertaining look at parenting and marriage, but sadly cannot because they don’t receive Current. It’s a disgrace, certainly, but now you can help. Buy my book and send some Christmas/Hanukkah love their way. What’s a measly $15.99 (plus shipping and handling) when it comes to the happiness of your peeps? Bottom line, folks, the last check from my publishing company, Dog Ear, was only $3.79, profit from my total book sales in October, and I only have a few weeks until Santa is scheduled for a drive-by. Consider helping a gal out during this holiday season through the purchase of my book: Peace Out! (Now available!)

individuals. Though I have asked to have my name removed from the case, it was irrelevant because damages - should they be awarded - would go to all property owners of the annexed area. Consequently, if annexation damages created a conflict, no Southwest Clay Township citizens could serve on the city council. The annexation statute could never prevent representation of annexed citizens. It was meant to guide cities doing annexations, and to protect those being annexed. Protection from breaches of promises by this administration was what I promised to those who elected me, and I will continue to do so. Lastly, I have been overwhelmed by kindness - verbally and through emails - from citizens all over Carmel. I am sorry that my colleagues apparently did not read the annexation statute, but took the word of this administration and attacked me publically. I do forgive them, this time. As always, I promise to continue to serve the citizens of Carmel with integrity and honesty unlike this administration which did not keep its promises.

When I ran for Carmel City Council, I promised the citizens of my district that I would do my best to make sure the Southwest Clay Township Annexation Settlement Agreeopinion ment promises were kept. Up until then, fulfillment of those promises had been frustrating, and I felt that I could best facilitate progress as a city councilor. To my astonishment, after constant reminders and attorney letters, multiple promises were breached. The promises were in danger of being lost forever, and the deadline to file a complaint loomed large. Days before all promises were lost in July, NOAX, the committee of citizens opposing the annexation, was forced to file a complaint. As secretary of NOAX, I helped craft the settlement agreement. Recently, as a member of the city council, I recused myself from voting on an ordinance regarding drainage mentioned in the settlement agreement. I did so then and will continue to do so for items directly related to this complaint. Months passed before conflict-of-interest comments arose by those close to this administration. All of a sudden, one of my colleagues asked me not to vote on the budget, and another asked me to resign on television. Since then, numerous attorneys and judges have agreed that no conflict exists. However, this administration continued to spin facts.

For example, our city engineer was blocked from attending a neighborhood meeting in my district. The meeting was planned by our utilities director as an informational meeting for residents who wanted to know about services Carmel could provide them and the costs for those services. Right before the meeting, our city engineer was told that it was a conflict of interest for him to attend, even though it was not directly related to the NOAX complaint. As many of you know, it has not been my style to complain publically. However, blocking services to my district cannot be tolerated, and to prevent more spin, pertinent facts need to be shared. Facts that were unique to this case were in the annexation statute (IC 36-4-3). It spelled out the rules for annexation. Remedies for not following these rules include a court order to: • Submit a revised fiscal plan • Block property tax collection • Disannex • Pay damages of 1-1/4 annual municipal taxes • Other appropriate relief NOAX discussions have always been about a revised fiscal plan of promised services to the annexed territory within time limits set up by the court. Also unique to this case was the rule that organizations couldn’t file, only property tax payers could file a complaint if breaches occurred. Therefore, all NOAX officers had to file as

Time to haul out the holly at Beef & Boards

By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com As Auntie Mame says, “We need a little Christmas, right this very minute.” “A Beef and Boards Christtheatre mas,” is a healthy holiday dose of singing, dancing, festive costumes and, of course, turkey with all the trimmings. This year’s show features an all-new quartet presenting several new arrangements in a glittering celebration of the season. The show opens Nov. 29 and runs through Dec. 23. “This show is our Christmas greeting to the city,” said Beef and Boards spokesperson Patricia Rettig. “We have families who have included us in their Christmas tradition since their children first came to see Santa, and those children are in college now. There are thirty-two performances, so you really can’t miss it.” This year’s production features sixteen singer-dancers and an on-stage band of seven. Several of the lead cast members are currently in the cast of “Les Miserables,” including featured vocalist Kelly Teal Goyette, along with Bobbi Bates, Peter Scharbrough and Dominic Sheahan-Stahl. Newcomer Emily Rogge rounds out the group. Goyette, who made her Beef and Boards debut in “Les Miserables,” spends much of her time on the road. She hails from Williston,

Vt., but her home base now is New York City. Since 2008, she has traveled the country with national touring companies of “Annie,” “Grease”

and “Shrek the Musical.” “I’ve spent more time subletting my apartment than sitting in it,” she said. And Goyette said she is excited to be a part of the Christmas show. “I get to sing my favorite Christmas song of all time, ‘O Holy Night,’” Goyette said. “I’m also doing several songs that are new to me; it’s great to learn Christmas songs I’ve never heard of before. And the members of the quartet have said that the new arrangements are very cool; some jazzy, some bluesy. They’re all very excited about how the rehearsals are going.” In addition to some new holiday songs, the set list includes traditional holiday favorites and songs designed to get toes tapping, such as “Boogie Woogie Santa Claus” and “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree.” Returning audience members will recognize the familiar faces of cohosts Deb Wims and Kenny Shepard, who have hosted the show since its inception. And, of course, there’s a star on a backstage dressing room door with Santa’s name on it, so bring your list and don’t forget to be nice.

A fairy tale comes to Tarkington

By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a multitude of pictures, combined with lyrical words and music, must make for theatre an evening that is anything but sleepy. That combination can be found when New York-based master storyteller, musician, poet and actor David Gonzalez brings his unique presentation of “Sleeping Beauty” to the Tarkington Theatre Nov. 22 and 23. “This is my interpretation of the classic fairy tale,” said Gonzalez in a phone interview from Chicago. “It is told entirely in rhymed verse, accompanied by musical and visual elements: a wonderful video, a ‘living storybook’ if you will, created by Karen Jenson, and a lush, musical tapestry in the form of Bach’s Goldberg Variations performed on piano by Daniel Kelly. The show has lots of layers to it, but it also stays true to the essence of the story.” “I have performed this show from New York to Alaska to Florida,” Gonzalez said. “And now we come to Carmel. And this show is particularly special because Karen Jenson’s family is all from Carmel, so the whole family will be at the show to celebrate.” The show combines poetry, visual storytelling and music in a developing art form that Gonzalez continues to create. It’s just another extension of his talents. He is a Drama-Desk-nominated artist who has toured nationally and internationally. While “Sleeping Beauty” is known as a children’s tale, this interpretation will be of interest Casler’s Kitchen & Bar – 11501 Pavilion Dr., Fishers – www.caslers.com Nov. 22 – Zanna Doo!

Original recipe makes 12 servings Ingredients: 2 cups butter, divided; 1 (15 pound) whole turkey, neck and giblets removed; 1/4 cup chicken soup base; 3 sweet onions, peeled and cut into wedges; 5 apples, cored and cut into wedges; 2 tablespoons minced garlic, or to taste; 1 (750 milliliter) bottle dry white wine Directions: Preheat a gas grill for low heat. Rub some of the butter all over the turkey, inside and out, then rub all over with chicken base. Cut remaining butter into cubes and toss with onions, apples, and garlic in a large bowl. Stuff the bird with this mixture and place in a disposable aluminum roasting pan. Fold the turkey skin around the neck area to cover the hole and then turn the turkey over and pour wine into the opening at the other end until the turkey is full or the bottle is empty. Set the turkey breast side up. Place the roasting pan on the grill and cover loosely with aluminum foil. If you have a pop up timer or heat safe meat thermometer, insert it into the turkey breast. Close the lid. Roast until the temperature in the breast reads 170 degrees F (75 degrees C) and the temperature

in the thickest part of the thigh reads 180 degrees C (80 degrees C), about 4 hours depending on the temperature of your grill. When the temperature is getting close, remove the aluminum foil covering the turkey and allow it to brown during the final minutes of cooking. If it starts to brown too much, just cover it back up. Allow the turkey to rest for at least 20 minutes before carving.

Broccoli with garlic and pine nuts

Ingredients: 1/2 cup pine nuts, 4 garlic cloves, 4 bunches broccoli, 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 2 to taste salt and pepper Directions: In a small dry skillet, toast the pine nuts, stirring constantly to brown evenly. Don’t burn! Chop the garlic fine. Set aside. Separate the broccoli into florets. Peel the skinnier stems and cut into cubes (or reserve the stems for cream of broccoli soup). In a large pot of rapidly boiling salted water, blanch the broccoli for about 8 minutes, until it is crisp-tender and still bright green. Drain thoroughly in a colander. In a sauté pan, heat the olive oil. Add the garlic and let it soften for a few minutes. Be careful not to let it burn. Then add the broccoli and pine nuts to the pan. Toss carefully to coat everything well with the garlicky oil. Salt and

pepper to taste. Turn into a warmed serving bowl and serve at once. Enjoy!

Caramel Pumpkin Tiramisu

Ingredients: 18 crisp ladyfinger cookies, 1/4 cup maple syrup, 2 tablespoons bourbon, 1 cup heavy whipping cream, divided, 1/4 cup sugar, 3/4 cup solidpack pumpkin, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 4 ounces PHILADELPHIA® Cream Cheese, softened, 3 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar Sauce: 3/4 cup caramel ice cream topping, 2 teaspoons bourbon Directions: Using a serrated knife, cut six ladyfingers in half widthwise. In a shallow bowl, combine maple syrup and bourbon. Dip six whole ladyfingers and six halves into mixture; arrange in a single layer in an 8-in. square dish. In a small bowl, beat 1/2 cup cream until it begins to thicken. Gradually add sugar; beat until soft peaks form. In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin, cinnamon, ginger and salt; fold in whipped cream. In another bowl, beat the cream cheese, confectioners’ sugar and remaining cream until thickened. Spread half of pumpkin mixture over ladyfingers in the dish. Dip remaining ladyfingers; arrange over the top. Top with remaining pumpkin mixture and the cream cheese mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight. In a microwave, heat caramel sauce; stir in bourbon. Serve warm with tiramisu.

Preparing for the unexpected – What happens to student loan debt when the borrower dies? The answer: It depends, based on the type of loan. The U.S. Dept. of Education says federal student loans will be discharged upon death. Parent PLUS federal loans can be discharged if either the student or the parent borrower dies. With private student loans the answer is more complex, but generally lenders will not forgive loans after death. It’s common for private student loans to require a co-signer, often the student’s parent. In most cases, banks expect co-signers to assume responsibility for the loan after a death. There are exceptions: Sallie Mae’s “Smart Option Student Loan,” launched in 2009, forgives loans when students die. But generally, banks will attempt to collect payment from the deceased’s estate, and then turn to co-signers. Source: MSN Money

Question from Harold P. from Fishers: We got our first dose of winter weather this week, and I was reminded that insurance people completely forget how to drive when snow hits the ground. I witnessed a minor fender-bender and am wondering what I need to do if that happens to me. Response from Jamie Ianigro: Experiencing an automobile accident is always scary, no matter how minor. Your independent insurance agent should be able to provide you with a card to keep in your glove box to remind you of everything you need to do if an accident occurs. Here is what we recommend. 1. Take a deep breath and assess the situation. Get your vehicle and passengers out of further harm if the vehicle is still operable. 2. Make sure that no one in your vehicle requires immediate medical attention. Check the occupants of any other vehicle involved next. 3. Call the police. It doesn’t matter how minor the accident is. Having a police report filed will make your claim process much smoother. 4. Exchange insurance information and record the details. Make sure the other driver’s insurance is not out of date. Get their phone number, address, license plate number and the make and model of their car to make filing your claim easier. 5. Pull out your camera phone and snap some pictures of your car from every angle and of any damage it now has.

6. Obtain a copy of the police report and call your independent agent to file a claim. Driving without insurance coverage in Indiana is illegal and a great way to end up with a suspended license or serious financial problems if you are involved in an accident. The starting point for insurance in Indiana is the required state-minimum coverage. The minimums are $25,000 per injured person, $50,000 per accident and $10,000 for property damage. The current cost of medical expenses and auto repair make it pretty easy to see that those amounts are not going to get you very far when it’s time to settle a claim. They also provide you zero protection from motorists who drive around without insurance or with the inadequate state minimum insurance. I recommend limits of $250,000 per injured person, $500,000 per accident and $100,000 for property damage with an endorsement to protect you from uninsured and underinsured motorists. These raised limits will also allow you to add a personal umbrella policy to further protect you in extreme cases. You can also get a nice discount by packaging these policies together with your homeowners policy. Adding comprehensive and collision coverages and adjusting the cost of your deductibles is something you should talk with your independent agent about. Let me know if you have any further questions about this and drive safely. Jamie Ianigro is with Shepherd Insurance & Finanacial Services. Have an insurance question you need answered?

Building permits up 20 percent news@currentinwestfield.com Central Indiana building permit reports indicate that single-family permits increased 20 percent in October compared to October housing 2012. There were 4,308 new home permits issued this year compared to the 3,585 issued in 2012. “Although reports indicate a slight decrease in permits from last month, we continue to see a significant increase over last year’s numbers,” said Steve Lains, CEO of the Builders Association of Greater Indianapolis. “Forecasters believe that we will continue to see steady increases in 2014. A slight decrease from last month was expected because of the time of year, but what’s ultimate-

ly important is the year-to-year overall increase which is moving in the right direction.” A recent Kiplinger economic report found that the pent-up demand will continue to elevate permit numbers in 2014. According to that report, housing is critical to the U.S. economy. “It’s not just from home sales, but in state and local government revenue, sales of furniture, appliances, etc., and the spin-off from income earned by construction crews, realtors and more,” the report said. In central Indiana the permits issued through October 2013 are estimated to create a total economic impact of $771 million in local income, $175 million in local taxes and 13,062 local jobs, year to date.

about a palm’s width above the knee. In terms of sizing, you want a coat that’s the same size as the suit jacket you wear - not a size larger.

We all have experienced those days when getting dressed wasn’t a top priority, but we knew we could not leave the fashion house less than fashionably chic. It’s the perfect opportunity to run into Mr. or Mrs. Wrong on that day. So what must we do to avoid this misadventure? The topcoat to the rescue! Late fall is the season for layers. It’s still too early to pull the heavy-duty winter coat out of its summer hibernation, but the cool mornings and unpredictable forecasts call for a strong shield against the chilly weather. Enter the topcoat, one of the most flexible pieces of outerwear that you can wear even into the snowiest months of winter. Styled much like a thicker, longer sports coat, the topcoat originated as a smart outer shell for those wearing a suit. However, if you consider that the topcoat is more “coat meets blazer,” you can truly realize its potential. You can wear it into the office, but if you’re looking for a casual look, sport it unbuttoned with a solid sweatshirt and some jeans. If temperatures are cooler, pull the coat over a denim jacket for another layer. Topcoats are available in bold patterns, with leather sleeves, or lighter shades like camel, but choosing charcoal grey or navy blue provides more flexibility in your wardrobe. The best topcoats should have a tailored fit and a slightly relaxed shoulder like a coat, and hit

Trinity College Campanile and Library in Dublin. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Book of Kells: Great Irish treasure Commentary by Donald Knebel

The library of Trinity College in Dublin houses thousands of rare and ancient books. Visitors from around the world queue for travel up to an hour to see just one of them. Two volumes of the famous Book of Kells, now separated into four volumes, are always displayed in the library’s Treasury room. The Book of Kells, one of Ireland’s greatest treasures, is a lavishly illustrated edition of the four Gospels, scripted in Latin. The illustration style is known as insular, but the Book of Kells is in a league of its own, not only for the extraordinary quality of its many illustrations but for their originality and unexpected playfulness. One illustration shows a green-striped cat trying to stop a mouse from eating a communion wafer. Another shows a man wrestling a peacock, an ancient symbol of immortality. The letter beginning one passage is formed from a man strangling a bird. So unusual is the colorful imagery of the Book of Kells that Umberto Eco, an Italian historical novelist, wrote recently that it was the “product of a cold-blooded hallucination,” a fact proudly noted in the guidebook sold in the library’s gift shop.

Exactly when the Book of Kells was created is not known. It was likely produced in the late eighth century by Irish monks seeking to promote their Christian faith. A full-page illustration contains the West’s oldest surviving manuscript image of the Virgin Mary. Mary, like others depicted in the Book of Kells, has an oversized head and distinctive large eyes, looking straight ahead. So similar is this style to the art of early Egyptian Christians (Copts) that scholars have long theorized a connection between Irish and Coptic missionaries. That theory gained greater credence with the recent discovery in Ireland of a fragment of the Psalms written on papyrus, a material native to Egypt but unknown in Ireland. The Book of Kells has made the library of Trinity College one of Ireland’s top tourist attractions, right up there with the Blarney Stone. Dublin provides the bonus of a beautiful city with a terrific zoo and a Guinness Storehouse offering free samples. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP.

Upholstery: Choices, choices Commentary by Vicky Earley

Winter maintenance for homes Commentary by Randy Sorrell

Frosty windows and a dusting of snow on the lawn is motivation for completing critical winter preparation duties. It’s not the outdoors most joyful thing to do, but just as necessary as mulching landscaped beds in the spring. Here’s a glimpse at my personal list and a note of encouragement. 1. Clean gutters and downspouts are perhaps the most critical. As snow melts, clogged gutters can create ice dams and eventually cause moisture in your basement or crawl space. 2. Inspect the outside of your house for anything alarming … loose shingles, HVAC hoses dangling, etc. Call your handyman for assistance. 3. Change landscape lighting and coach lamp bulbs while the weather is mild and simultaneously clean the lens. 4. A respectful layer of mulch is especially critical on azaleas, rhododendrons, dogwood trees and spruce. Buy a few bags for ease of spreading. 5. Take an inventory of ice melt, snow shovel,

windshield scraper, gloves and boots before you need them. 6. Properly outfit the car with items in #5 too. 7. Drain gas from lawn equipment or fill with fuel stabilizer. Take any equipment that needs repair to your favorite shop. 8. Drain and store garden hoses … or not. Mine have survived 3 years outside, but it’s a risk. Take “at risk” urns inside after emptying. 9. Clean beds are happy beds … same with your lawn too. Remove leaves and other debris. Your neighbors will be filled with joy. 10. Need firewood or bird seed? Stock up now. Finally, and most importantly, take a few minutes to be grateful and help someone else be happy. Most of us are in need of a few healing words and you can make a difference. Be a builder of people, not a destroyer. Randy Sorrell is president of SURROUNDINGS by NatureWorks+, a Carmel home improvement firm. He may be reached at 679-2565, randy@choosesurroundings.com or www.choosesurroundings.com.

If you have ever tried to order custom upholstery on your own, you can relate. Upholstered furniture is a Rubik’s cube decorating of options. One mistake and the piece can be an absolute dog. One unexpected but calculated touch and it can be spectacular. Just the arm options available make it incredibly confusing for the inexperienced to make selections. First there is the rolled arm. You have seen this countless times as it is a traditional look that works well with loose cushions and provides easy seating. The track arm is square on top and will take a piece of furniture down a more modern path. The textile selection is tricky with the track arm in that pattern matching becomes almost impossible. The English arm is a first cousin to the rolled arm but it is typically lower and is paired with tight backs rather than cushioned backs. The tuxedo arm is the current darling of the upholstery world. It is typically the same height as the back of the sofa giving it a fabulous focal point position in a room. Once the preferred arm style has been determined, the legs enter the picture. Here we really get complicated because it’s about more than

just personal preference. It has to work with the arm and cushion selection or it will end up being an upholstery “mutt.” The turned leg is the most traditional of the options out there. Some will be simple, others quite ornate. The block leg, which includes buntype legs, offers a casual, laid back feeling. It can go very modern if it covers a large expanse of the piece. The pin leg is a throwback to the post-modern era. It is that long, cone-shaped leg that would be found on virtually every chair on the television series, “Madmen.” If all those choices weren’t enough, the type of finish will impact the style. A rich walnut will tap down a modern leg while a high gloss lacquered color will take the most traditional turned leg and make it kicky and modern. Regardless of your style, a plan is critical. It really isn’t about random choice based on what looks good on a sample ring. It is imperative to have a vision of the completed piece or that upholstery mutt just might be barking up your tree.

Investing in new countertops Commentary by David Decker

big role in affecting the functionality of the material. In terms of functionality, stone options are inherently more durable than solid surfaces. Because laminates and solid surfaces can scratch, dirt and bacteria can hide in these crevasses. The decision comes down to your personal preference. Great looking countertops can be made from any of these materials. However, if you are willing to make the investment, choosing a stone material may pay off in the long run. Stone materials are generally more expensive than other options, but they are typically more long lasting and valued by potential homebuyers. If you know that a move might be coming in the near future, stone might be the way to go. With all these options and considerations to weigh, selecting new countertops can be a difficult task. If you’re looking for a little guidance, The Affordable Companies Website is a great resource full of blog posts, links and photos that can help you make the best selection for your home. No two homes require the exact same solution, so get creative and search for a countertop that will improve the look and functionality of your kitchen.

Because they take up so much visual space, countertops are one of the keystones of kitchen design. It’s amazing to see the Indoors difference that new countertops can make in a room, even if all of the other elements (such as flooring or cabinetry) stay the same. On the flip side, damaged or dated looking countertops can drag down the aesthetics and functionality of your kitchen. If you only have the time or money to make a single upgrade in the kitchen, chances are that investing in new countertops is a smart way to go. When selecting new countertops, the first thing you’ll need to consider is the type of material. Each material has certain positive and negative aspects that you should be aware of before making a purchasing decision. Stone (such as granite and quartz) has become one of the most popular choices for homeowners looking to upgrade their kitchen countertops. Stone is easy to clean, durable against heat and resistant to bacterial buildup. It is also scratch-resistant, while other options are not. While stone is a popular choice, it’s far from David Decker is president of the the only choice. Also available on the market are Affordable Companies, which include solid surfaces and laminates.
