By Debra Sigel • news@currentinfishers.com The World Connections Club of Hamilton Southeastern High School will present its sixth-annual International Night at 7 p.m. March community 14 in HSE’s Leonard Auditorium. Live entertainment will begin in the auditorium immediately followed by food, dancing, music and fun in the Cafeteria Annex. “One of our goals is to make people aware of different cultures within in our community,” said Vickie Lazaga, world languages teacher at HSEHS. There will be many students with various hidden talents. These range from unique instruments, dancing and singing in many different languages from all around the world. Anyone is welcome to participate in the parade of nations, to wear traditional dress, and join in the fun. “The more the merrier,” Lazaga said. The World Connections Club has gotten bigger and better with promoting talent and education over the years, according to Lazaga. “The kids put a lot into the decoration and planning,” she said.
Participants can enjoy Chinese lanterns, different posters and colorful flags from around the world, all sponsored by the language department. Countries represented will share artifacts, maps and anything representational of their ethnicity. There will be more than 20 countries represented with faculty members sharing their gifts and wares, displayed in festive booths. The evening will be an opportunity for sampling a taste of international cuisine and a night for educational meeting of the foreign nations. International Night was started by the late Diane Douglas, a guidance counselor for the international students. She was a visionary who saw the “need to integrate kids into the school,” Lazaga said. Out of that need and talent came the cultural club, she added. Approximately 1,000 paper cranes hang in the halls of the school dedicated to Douglas’s memory. Tickets will be $4 in advance and $5 at the door. For more information please contact Lazaga at vlazaga@hse.k12.in.us.

Viskant to run for mayor
news@currentinfishers.com
Elaine Viskant, 59, has announced her candidacy for mayor of Fishers. Viskant, a Fishers resident Elections for the past 18 years, said she is running because she is against mass transit and Common Core and moved to the area for low taxes. She also said she has been an activist in the background of several key area issues: development, environment and public safety. “The mass transit for the future image is irrelevant since we are almost land locked now,” Viskant said. “It only interests a handful of people and Section 8 incentives actually relieved pressure for mass transit. It also sets a dangerous precedent for outside interests to control local taxes and redistribute assets. “Unlike one candidate, I don’t feel that better schools will be accomplished with teacher raises. More money has been the solution for absent parenting of our schools just like it is for individual children. It also neglects all other town services. Approximately 52.4 percent of our local property taxes, 14 percent of state taxes and 2.4 percent of federal taxes go toward education,” she added. Viskant grew up in Chicago, where she attended a junior college and the University of Illinois at Chicago Circle. She earned three professional licenses in Illinois: real estate broker, health and
life insurance, and Series 7 investment banker. As a senior credit analyst, Viskant was responsible for approximately $400 million. “I was an expert in court for two major university medical centers in Chicago, namely, Northwestern Memorial Hospital and Loyola University Medical Center,” she said. In addition, Viskant did national loss recovery for The Associates Finance Corp., among other jobs, including working for former Gov.Mitch Daniels’ tax amnesty program. She added that she has indirectly done “award-winning work” for the Indiana Department of Revenue. Viskant has been married to her husband, Greg, for more than 25 years. Greg is retired from AT&T and was responsible for 911 outage resolutions in five states. His uncle was one of the Navy pilots that searched for the survivors of the U.S.S. Indianapolis during WWII. The Viskants have one son that attends college; he recently joined the Indiana National Guard. “We are proud new members of the NRA,” Viskant said. She added that she would like to better monitor contractor jobs in Fishers to possibly lower foreclosure rate and list state declared emergency resources. “I’d also like to see a different sort of park for two unrepresented age groups. Plus, some interactive classroom work at the middle school level,” she added.

Forum to address social media issues, pitfalls – Hamilton County Sheriff Mark Bowen is hosting a public education forum on Teen Social Media from 7 to 8 p.m. March 10 at the Hamilton County 4-H Fairgrounds, 2003 Pleasant St. Det. Alex Petty and Det. Kija Ireland will be the main as the forum will help parents focus on identifying misuse of social media, from ways to prevent abuse to dealing with the aftermath of an incident. “Given the amount of information out there, we thought it was important to address the issue with teens and parents,” Bowen said. “We’re not against social media by any means, but there are pitfalls and consequences when not using good sense and judgment.” From a relatively small number of incidents in past years, social media crimes have increased to more than 100 reported cases annually in Hamilton County alone.

Being on time Commentary by Heather Kestian At the beginning of the school year, my better half and I decided that we would split the morning duties of getting our plain talk oldest on the bus. We could have sent our oldest kid to day care to have him get on the bus there, but it seemed like we might be able to re-train his sleep habits by getting him some extra sleep in the morning. The hope was that this would translate to sleeping in on the weekend. For the record, I laughed out loud when I wrote those last two sentences. Apparently, some kids lack the gene for sleeping in. I believe this is a recessive gene, and since my husband is an early riser, genetics says neither of our kids will be sleep machines. His genes have won virtually every battle. He has two mini-versions of himself. I have circles under my eyes. Fast forward approximately 113 school days and I have two lessons I have learned about the bus stop. First, an alarming number of people blow off the outstretched arm of the bus, which glows of flashing red lights. Really people? Where on earth are you going that you drive past the bus with the
bright lights with little people running around? I get it. Sometimes you run late and you are in a hurry, but please, stop when the bus stops. The flashing lights are a clue that little people are running around. They run with complete disregard for others around them. They are not watching for you—for the love of Pete, stop. Just stop. Second, we have a fantastic bus driver. She is kind, cautious, and great with the kids we trust to her care. She is never late. Never. Of the major cities I have lived in, if the public transit I relied on were half as timely as she is, I would not have had to take earlier routes just to make sure I got somewhere on time. See what I did there? If something is making you late, change the routine. While we let the oldest sleep in, he wakes up in time to get dressed, eat breakfast, help pack his lunch, and walk to the bus stop as appropriate. We get there before the school bus arrives. I have learned that timeliness is an important habit that takes time to build. Start early. Heather Kestian is a Fishers resident and mother. She holds a bachelor’s degree in journalism, as well as a master’s degree in education. Her family moved to Fishers in 2010.

Train has left the station Commentary by Larry Lannan Most of you have read about the Fishers Town Council vote to demolish the old train station building at the muredevelopment nicipal complex and replace it with a large mixed-use building and parking garage. The building will house office space and apartments. The public hearing and subsequent council debate were quite a spectacle by Fishers Town Council standards. Allow me to make a few comments on what I witnessed. It’s my view that the old train station is neither iconic nor historic, as some have argued. It was built to look a little like the original train station in Fishers, but larger to allow it to become a community facility. I like the old 1996 train station and appreciate its connection to Fishers history, but the structure does need to be replaced. Some argued the town did not give citizens enough notice of its proposal to tear down the station. It is true town staff asked for public comment about a year ago on the overall downtown plans, which included replacing the train station. There were media reports last September saying the train station likely would be demolished. However, the specific plans to replace the station were not known until the council meeting agenda was released Thursday evening before the Monday night session. It is understandable
town staff needed to keep the deal quiet until it was complete. But there was no full announcement from the town until the day of the meeting and after media began reporting the plans. Citizens have a point; more information made public earlier would have allowed local citizens to better evaluate the project. The Fishers Town Council is planning to transform downtown Fishers into a destination with residents, offices, retail stores and restaurants. The town is putting money into the initial projects to make this happen. There are serious risks the town is taking. Will people rent the apartments? Will businesses rent the office space? Will retail stores and restaurants locate in the complex and be successful? Can Fishers do all this and still manage traffic on 116th Street? In this case, the train has left the station. The land and money have been committed. The developers are ready to go. As citizens and taxpayers of Fishers, no matter how you feel about the projects, they are coming. No matter who is elected mayor, these projects will continue. So, we all have an interest in their success.

Robanne received lots of help and support from the Fishers YMCA when she was working on becoming fit. Now she wants to use her experiences to help others. She is organizing a “Walk from Obesity” event in Fishers that will take place this fall. “Walk from Obesity” events happen all across the U.S. and they benefit two non-profit organizations: the Obesity Action Coalition and the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Foundation. Robin is a member of the OAC and participated in Walk from Obesity in Arizona. “I want to encourage people to walk; it’s a non-intimidating way to get people out there and motivated,” she said. “I’m really passionate about it,” Robin continued. “When I started out four and a half years ago at 300 pounds, I felt worn out. I started out slow but I was moving.” The Fishers “Walk from Obesity” event will take place at Holland Park and will be sponsored by St. Vincent Health and the YMCA. The event is not timed; participants will walk the path around the park; individuals, families and teams are all welcome. “The goal is to get as many people walking as possible,” Robin said. “It’s not a race. Let’s get people thinking about walking in general.” According to Robin, the date for the Fishers walk will be set soon. Those interested should visit www.walkfromobesity.com and register for the Fishers event once the date is in place. Adult registration is $25 when completed online, and kids 12 and under are free with a paying adult. “I want to motivate people,” Robin said, “particularly kids because it starts with them. I want
to help kids think of fitness in terms of being active, not so much about weight or what the scale says. You don’t have to be in the best shape of your life to walk.”
Teaching kids
Robanne’s commitment to helping kids get fit includes teaching a Hip Hop Hustle class at the Fishers YMCA. (She also teaches adult classes.) “Four and a half years ago I wouldn’t have walked into a group exercise class if you paid me and now I’m teaching those classes,” Robin said. Kids in Robanne’s hip hop class wear pedometers and they read their steps out loud at the end of class; they are excited to see that they did so many steps. “We have to show our kids the value of being active,” she advised. Indianapolis business WellPoint shares Robanne’s point of view and recently shot a video of Robanne teaching a hip hop class to kids at the Fishers Y. The video is being offered for consideration in Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” campaign and in addition, the video will be shown at the upcoming Building a Healthier Future Summit, a national gathering of business leaders and non- profit agencies that want to work together to help people make healthy choices. The summit is presented annually by the Partnership for a Healthier America. WellPoint stated that the purpose is to create a five-minute exercise video that anyone can use to get up and move.
Getting fit
Robanne has advice for families and individuals who want to improve their fitness. “It’s good to have someone like me who has been there and proven that it can be changed,” she said. “Honesty is a big part of overcoming obesity. Especially if you’re just getting back in to exercising, you have to start with where you’re at. It’s important to sit back and say to yourself, I don’t eat right, I don’t exercise, etc. Being honest with yourself helps you create attainable goals. “I want to communicate to kids that you don’t have to wait until you are in trouble with your health in the future,” Robin said. “Take care of yourself now. Fitness can be so fun. Find something you enjoy doing and do it.”
“I want to motivate people, particularly kids because it starts with them. I want to help kids think of fitness in terms of being active, not so much about weight or what the scale says.
You don’t have to be in the best shape of your life to walk.”

Memorial fundraiser for family
Take a bow, Sgt. Fettinger Sgt. Troy Fettinger of the Fishers Police Dept. certainly is in line for extremely fitting special recognition at some point, having played a pivotal role in saving the life of Joel Tsetse, a 12-year-old boy who collapsed during a basketball game on Feb. 22. We salute Fettinger for initiating the chain of events at Fishers Junior High School to revive the youth, get him immediate cardiac treatment and have him hospitalized. As of press time, we were glad to hear of his continuing improvement. Fettinger, who like many in his line of work, probably would say it comes with the territory, that it’s part of the job. While that may be true, we find his efforts to be otherworldly and clearly on the level of heroism. It was Fettinger’s quick use of an automated external defibrillator, which he retrieved from his police car, that set in motion the number of opportunities for the youth to survive and begin recovery. Police Chief George Kehl and Fire Chief Steve Orusa said in the aftermath of the event that they believe immediate intervention is critical in providing the best chance of survival in a sudden cardiac instance, and we agree. For the past several years, FPD has provided each officer with an AED as a part of his or her standard-issue equipment. It’s a solid move, and, clearly, it paid a huge dividend in this case. Well done! ••• We extend sincere congratulations to the Town of Fishers, to which the Indiana Chapter of the American Planning Association will award the 2014 Planning Award this month for Outstanding Plan during its spring conference at Ball State University. According to the town, the distinction comes after the landmark decision in December to implement the Community Art Master Plan, and is a tribute to the organizations that collaborated to bring this vision to life.

The secrets we keep
Commentary by Terry Anker
Social media has opened up a new world for window peepers. Unbeknownst to many of us, our photographs are taken hundreds of times per day. Happily, most of the celebrity we might anticipate is abated by the fact that these shots are largely video surveillance at the ATM, gas pump, store, restaurant, school, workplace and just about every place we might venture during the day. These are not routinely posted to the web unless something exciting or funny occurs (think bank robbery or dancing cat). We don’t control our image. Ordinarily, we don’t even know that it is being used. But the most common, is the photo posted to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, MySpace, LinkedIn, Tagged, Google+, Pinterest, or YouTube (these are on the top 10 list for most used social media sites of the billions of posts each year). Again, permission is rarely asked and we often don’t know of it. Google has announced a new project called, simply enough, Image. At images.google.com one
can upload an image of anyone and the program will scan the web to find similar pictures. I did it today of myself; and, wow, it pulled up pictures of me from all over the place. Some were known to me – others definitely not. But even more simply, a long-lost acquaintance posted a photo from an eighth-grade basketball tourney (we won!) to his Facebook page. Another friend saw me in it and let me know it was out there. I found the shot and the dozen or so of comments about it. My 13 year-old saw it – and observed our family resemblance. But the picture could have easily been me in college holding a Little King Cream Ale slightly before my 21st birthday. Is it better to live a world without secrets? We may not have much choice.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him.
- Malcolm Forbes
Do you know a person in the community who always has a ready smile, greets you as though you were family, cracks funny jokes and inspires you to walk away feeling good for the rest of the fay? At Sahm’s Restaurant in Fishers, that person was Trish Erwin. According to Ed Sahm, owner of Sahm’s, Trish was “one of a kind.” “Over the past 27 years, she had thousands of customers that came to Sahm’s for lunch just to see her,” Sahm said. “If you came in more than once she knew your name and what you liked to drink. She was the most hospitable person around. She wanted to know about you. She truly card.” Sadly, this beloved mother, wife and legendary Sahm’s bartender passed away suddenly Feb. 5. Although she had been doing well despite a battle with breast cancer, there were complications from a blood clot that took her life in an instant. Besides a mourning community of customers who will never forget Trish, there is her devoted husband Jim and their kids, Brett, a sophomore at Indiana University, and Brianne, a junior in high school. Jim and Trish worked very hard to provide a college education for their kids, yet the family will need help in the future, which is why there is a memorial fundraiser online for the kids to continue their education. “Trish had so much more to give,” Sahm said. “Now that she is gone, let us all take up the giving part.” For those who have been touched by Trish and feel led to give, the website is http:// www.youcaring.com/memorial-fundraiser/ in-memory-of-trish/136323#sthash.CKcYy03Z. dpuf. “Thanks for remembering Trish and considering an amount to give in her honor,” Sahm said.

How to write good hate mail
Commentary by Danielle Wilson
I love hate mail. But I have to be honest; some of you really need to brush up on your libel. Take, for instance, a recent humor e-mail. The reader was quite indignant with respect to the column about my friend, whose morning with her children was ruined by a criticizing old biddy. But her comments fell short, mostly because she didn’t know how to write a decent critique. Luckily, I’ve developed this Guide to Good Hate Mail. 1. Read the column. Thoroughly. The aforementioned hater spoke at length about how poorly I had handled the situation because of my obvious lack of self-confidence, but I actually wasn’t even there. The article was about a friend’s experience. Come on now! If you’re going to use my own words against me, at least get the facts straight! 2. Play the religion card. Even though you know nothing of my faith, when you write, “You are clearly not a Christian, which might be the root of your unhappiness…” you can be sure I’ll take notice. Sure, it might not have the desired response (Doo and I enjoyed a wonderful laugh at that one), but you’ll certainly gain my attention. And never underestimate the impact of a well-placed Scripture passage. My favorite is John 8:7. Learn it. Love it. Use it. 3. Question my parenting. So what if you’ve
C
never actually met me or my husband or any of my kids. You read my columns, right? We’re as good as sisters, then, making you perfectly qualified to pass judgment. Have fun! Give unsolicited advice, badmouth my children, suggest therapy and spiritual healing (a Bible verse would fit nicely here). Or just cut to the chase and tell me I’m a terrible mother. I appreciate brevity in my hate mail as I have an enormity of selfish needs to see to above those of my family. 4. Go on and on about what an awesome spouse, parent, sibling, friend, PTO volunteer, church-goer, and eater of organic foods you are. My life is miserable, and I long to be as awesome as you! Remember, I have low self-confidence and am going to Hell, so any awesome thing you can say to help me change my ways would be simply awesome. 5. Use synonyms. When I see the word “awesome” written repeatedly, you lose respect as a writer and a hater. Next time you feel compelled to send hate mail, please consult this guide. It’ll make my reading so much more enjoyable! Peace out.

In any divorce case, there are two main categories of issues to be resolved prior to finalization: child-related issues and those related to the division of the martial estate. Under Indiana law (an absent a prenuptial agreement), the marital estate, or “marital pot,” is comprised of any and all assets and liabilities acquired prior to or during the marriage, whether through inheritance or gift. The date the parties file the Verified Petition for Dissolution of Marriage effectively “cuts off” what is included in the marital estate and; therefore, those items which are subject to division by the Court. Generally, assets or debts acquired by either spouse subsequent to the date of filing of the Verified Petition for Dissolution of Marriage are considered separate property of that individual. Indiana law presumes that an equal (50%/50%) division of the marital estate is fair and equitable. In order to determine the overall estate, each litigant and/or their counsel, must perform due diligence to determine (1) what compromises the marital estate and (2) the values of each asset/liability therein. A majority of assets and liabilities are valued on the date of filing of the Verified Petition for Dissolution of Marriage. Therefore, the marital estate will be a “snapshot” of what existed on that day and the values on that same day. The Court and the parties have discretion, however, to value certain assets as of the date of distribution. Most often, Courts will choose to value assets which fluctuate due to market changes at the time of distribution to either party, less any post date-of-filing contributions made by the account holder, to allow both parties to equally share in those gains or losses of any such accounts during the pendency of the divorce.
In determining the value of real property, the parties may use appraisals, property tax assessments, and comparative market analyses to agree upon a value for the marital residence and/or additional properties. Courts place most weight on the values put forth in formal appraisals; thus, if parties are unable to agree upon the value of real property – Courts can often be confronted with competing appraisals and expert testimony from the appraiser. Alternatively, in the event parties agree to list a piece of property for sale, they may agree that whatever proceeds actually received are to be equally divided between the two spouses. The latter approach allows for the divorcing parties to finalize the divorce without having to await the sale of their house. Either party may request, however, a deviation from the presumed 50%/50% division in his or her favor which the Court may grant, if the Court deems the request appropriate after considering evidence presented and the statutory factors allowing for such deviations. Litigants would be well advised to seek the advice of counsel in determining how to best proceed with such requests.

Come find love in ‘Philadelphia’ with CCP By Terri Spilman • editorial@youarecurrent.com The Carmel Community Players continue their 20th Anniversary Season of Restoration Celebration by presenting the romantic THeatre comedy classic, Philip Barry’s “The Philadelphia Story,” March 6 through March 16 in the Carmel Community Playhouse at Clay Terrace Mall. The play’s cast is very seasoned as some actors have film, TV and Broadway theater experience in addition to the many who have appeared in several local productions. In the movie version of “The Philadelphia Story,” Katharine Hepburn’s character, Tracy Lord, is a headstrong, spoiled daughter from a well-todo family in Philadelphia torn between her dashing ex-husband, played by Cary Grant, charming society magazine reporter Jimmy Stewart and her fiancée. The play’s director, Lori Raffel, said the stage production is very similar to the movie with some exceptions – there are a few character changes and the location is limited to the Lords’ house outside Philadelphia. “The play was written by Philip Barry specifically for Katharine Hepburn to star in on stage. Her last several movies had tanked and producers were losing faith in her ability to draw an audience,” Raffel said. “Katharine herself put up 35 percent of the money to produce the play on Broadway, and it paid off - it was a huge hit. She

and the playwright always had in mind to make the play into a movie - and that was a big success as well.” “Above all else, The Philadelphia Story is about love, relationships and family. It’s one of the most successful American comedies every produced,” Raffel said. “I wanted to direct it because I love the time period - the 1940’s - and I love the central character - Tracy. She is strong, stubborn, flawed and fearless - which makes for a great play.” “The Philadelphia Story” • Performance are 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays; 2:30 p.m. on Sundays • Carmel Community Playhouse at Clay Terrace Mall • Tickets are $15 for adults; $12 for seniors and students • For more information visit www.carmelplayers.org.

Allergies to cold weather - Yes, it’s possible to actually be allergic to cold weather. Those with an allergy called cold urticaria break out in itchy red hives due to contact with low temperatures, according to the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology. In more rare cases, people can faint from exposure to frigid temps. Representatives from the college suggest taking an antihistamine to control symptoms. www.menshealth.com. Stroke risk factors for women - More than half of the 795,000 strokes that occur annually in the U.S. happen to women. Why? One of the reasons is preeclampsia, a factor during and after pregnancy. However, prevention is key: women with chronic or pregnancyrelated hypertension should take low-dose aspirin from the 12th week of pregnancy to delivery. Preeclampsia is also a future risk of hypertension and stroke. Keep up with follow-up visits to your primary care physician. (www.prevention.com).

Balancing quality and quantity on TV Commentary by Adam Cmejla I’d like you to think of the following question and let me know if you can think of a situation or example where the statement finance is unequivocally true: In a rapid growth environment, is it possible to significantly increase quantity while still maintaining a high level of quality? I bring this question up as I look up at the TV in my office streaming the latest financial news of the day and what’s happening around the world and ask myself that question as it pertains to financial journalism. With the advent of the 24/7 news and financial television networks, I’ve often wondered how challenging the job of the producer must be for those networks. Not because of the complexities of the job or managing the on-air talent, but simply the task of coming up with enough content to cover 24 hours of “news” a day. Think about that for a minute as it pertains to financial journalism.In the past, when something was newsworthy, it was discussed and reported on the nightly national news and was most certainly reported in the financial publications such as The Wall Street Journal, Forbes and Fortune. However, because of the amount of airtime that must be consumed, we now have stories that are covered far longer than they need to be covered, with opinions from so-called “experts” whose only criteria for being called an expert

was that they were available for that time slot. What can, and often does, happen though is the television media overinflates an otherwise mundane piece of information or data, which can sometimes cause consumers to make irrational and emotional decisions concerning their financial plans and investment goals. We’ve all heard the phrase “making a mountain out of a mole hill” and I believe this phrase can apply to an ever-increasing number of journalists and media reporting on financial news and happenings. This is why I believe that as the quantity of financial reporting has significantly increased in a short amount of time, the quality of the journalism has diminished. The important thing to remember is to be intentional with your investing. Having an investment philosophy and plan will serve you much better than reacting to what the cable news is reporting. In addition, make sure that you understand the credibility of your news sources. Remember this: there is great similarity between a market analyst and a weather personality on TV. Their (and their station’s) first and real only mission is not to advise you directly.

The Alhambra’s Court of Lions (Photo by Don Knebel)
The Alhambra: At the center of 1492 Commentary by Don Knebel
During 1492, the Alhambra in Grenada, Spain, was at the center of events that literally changed the direction of human history. Today the Alhambra is the finest example travel of Islamic architecture in Europe. Grenada was founded in the eleventh century by successors of Muslims who had captured most of what is now Spain from the Visigoths in 711. By 1248, Christian forces had recaptured all major Spanish cities except Granada. Grenada, whose Muslim rulers welcomed its Jewish residents, became one of the most important cities in Europe. In the fourteenth century, Grenada’s Nasrid rulers completed the Alhambra on a hill overlooking the city as a combined fortress and palace. The main courtyard surrounded a circle of twelve marble lions, representing the twelve tribes of Israel, carved by Jewish craftsmen. The palace included an imposing Hall of Ambassadors, where the Sultan of Granada received visitors. On January 2, 1492, the Sultan surrendered the Alhambra to the superior forces of Ferdinand II and Isabella I, the “Catholic Kings” whose marriage had united two Spanish kingdoms. Isabella immediately occupied the chair in the Hall of
Ambassadors, reportedly receiving Christopher Columbus. Columbus, who had seen Granada fall, pitched anew his plan to sail west and convert the Muslims of India to Christianity. The “Alhambra Decree,” issued by Ferdinand and Isabella on March 31, 1492, ordered all Jews to leave Spain within four months unless they converted to Christianity. On April 17, Ferdinand and Isabella commissioned Columbus to sail to India and he left Granada on May 12. By July 31, up to 800,000 Jewish residents had fled Spain to avoid execution without trial. On October 12, 1492, Columbus, who may have been secretly Jewish, encountered the lands of the “New World” he insisted to his death were part of India. In April 1992, five hundred years after the Alhambra Decree, Spanish King Juan Carlos, wearing a yarmulke, welcomed descendants of the expelled “Sephardic” (Spanish) Jews back to Spain, where they can now become citizens. The Alhambra, witness to the best and the worst of Spanish history, has become one of Spain’s most popular sites. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP.

Question: “A friend said to me that he was ‘under the weather, metaphorically speaking.’ I didn’t want to correct him, since he was sick, but I don’t think that’s right. GRAMMAR GUY Was that a metaphor, or was it actually an idiom?” Great question! You are correct. Hopefully your friend is feeling better by the time you come around again to offer him some wisdom. Metaphors and idioms are often mistaken for one another in speech in just the manner you’ve illustrated. In fact, “speaking metaphorically” is often mistakenly used when people actually mean they are “speaking figuratively.” Staying on subject, though: What is the difference between a metaphor and an idiom? A metaphor is a rhetorical figure of speech found under the umbrella of analogy. A metaphor is formed by stating that one thing “A” is another thing “B.” Shakespeare famously used metaphors to great effect – and so for an example, we’ll turn to the Bard: “But soft! What light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.” We understand that Juliet is not, in fact, the sun. But to our teenage heartthrob Romeo, she seems a bright, incandescent, almost life-giving figure appearing at the window as the sun at
dawn. How romantic. An idiom, by contrast, is an expression with a figurative meaning that doesn’t correspond with its literal meaning. Idioms are understood intuitively by native speakers, but can be very difficult for someone learning the language. Examples of idioms in English include “couch potato,” “hit the road,” “spill the beans” and “under the weather.” Some idioms, like the phrase “Achilles’ heel,” are also metaphors, but the two are not inherently related like metaphors and similes are. A great and simple method of determining whether a phrase is an idiom or a metaphor is to ask whether it is directly comparing two things. “In the middle of June, the blacktop was lava” is a metaphor – it directly compares very hot asphalt to lava. “To pull someone’s leg” is an idiom – we understand it figuratively to mean to tease or joke, and it fails to be a metaphor because it makes no comparison. Just keep comparisons in mind, and you’ll be able to distinguish metaphors and idioms at the drop of a hat. Jordan Fischer is a contributing columnist for Current Publishing.

The remodel: Space planning improves master bath Commentary by Larry Greene
EXISTING BATHROOM: The owner of this home in the Admirals Landing subdivision at Geist had lived with his master bathroom for almost 20 years. “The bathroom was blueprint for old. Everything was black and white, improvement the tiles needed regrouted and the faucets needed replaced. I wanted to change things and decided doing it piecemeal made no sense. So I decided to remodel the whole space.” ELIMINATING LARGE TUB DECK: Eliminating wasted space was a goal for the project. “The master bath had a bad set up. The large tub deck under the window included wasted space on each end. I had two vanities but they were on opposite sides of the room and small.” The homeowner wanted to keep a tub in the space, and was hoping for a double vanity. The shower was well located and appropriately sized, therefore the new design did little to alter its footprint. COORDINATING TILE & GRANITE: The owner wanted helping selecting the right materials. “I wanted granite countertops and tile in the shower and on the floors. My designer helped me narrow my choices so I ended up with what I liked.” The Colombian Sand floor tile was chosen to compliment the Alviana Noce shower wall tile. Maple cabinetry in a soft white color with a slate glaze contrasts the tropic brown granite countertops. Carrying the granite over to the tub deck, wall caps, shower seats, niche shelves and door sill provided a cohesive look.
RESULT: Removing the existing tub and decking left room for the new tub to be installed next to the shower. The shower was expanded slightly to provide a cohesive line between the shower and the tub. The opposite wall was filled with a large double vanity, greatly increasing the counter and storage space in the bathroom. Although the overall footprint was not expanded, the room felt much more spacious with the reconfiguration.
