Community Health Network announces breakthrough cancer treatment – Community Health Network announced recently it is the first health system in Indianapolis to acquire the Intrabeam System, a new radiation platform designed to replace as many as six-and-a-half weeks of routine radiation therapy with a single 20- to 30-minute targeted radiation treatment. The new system, which delivers a targeted, intraoperative radiation treatment directly to the tumor site after lumpectomy, has been shown to be as effective as traditional radiation for certain women with early breast cancer.

The fourth annual Create, Connect and Commit Fundraising Breakfast, held March 23 at the Ritz Charles in Carmel, raised more than $27,000 for Janus Developmental Services. Janus, located at 1555 Westfield Rd. in Noblesville, provides education Sanders and employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities in Hamilton County. Its initiatives include First Steps, an early intervention program for school children with disabilities, and the Hamilton County Express, which provides transportation around the county and into north Marion County for individuals with disabilities. Last year, Hamilton County Express provided more than 45,000 rides, for a total of 464,422 miles. According to Janus’ CEO Connie Sanders, the First Steps program, which served 258 students last year, saves the state $13,000 for each student who does not enter into state education programs because of Janus’ assistance. Last year, Sanders said Janus saved the state $2.4 million through First Steps. Janus’ work in helping Hamilton County residents with disabilities wouldn’t be possible without the efforts of volunteers and parents who have believed in the program, Sanders said. “We know the power of a parent’s love, and the passion with which they’ve worked with us,” said Sanders.

Menchie’s opens first Indiana location

Hire Us Before Your Spouse Does

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Local entrepreneur Jeff Renbarger recently opened the newest and tastiest business to open in Noblesville – Menchie’s, the leading chain of self-serve frozen yogurt stores, at 13170 Harrell Pkwy. The Hamilton Town Center location is also the first Menchie’s to open in Indiana. “It’s pretty exciting to be the first one in Indiana, and Noblesville is the perfect area for it,” Renbarger said. Menchie’s is a unique frozen yogurt brand that places a strong emphasis on the experience its guests live every time they visit a store. Offering a vibrant atmosphere complete with party rooms, chalkboards and bright colors, Menchie’s encourages families to come in and spend a memorable, fun-filled day together. “It’s a fun escape. Every guest gets a gift besides the yogurt before they leave,” Renbarger said. Menchie’s guests help themselves to an unlimited mix of yogurt and toppings at a unique self-serve station with more than 100 rotating yogurt flavors from cake batter and pomegranate tart to chocolate silk and vanilla snow, and more than 70 rotating toppings including fresh fruits, granolas, nuts, an assortment of candies and hot fudges. Renbarger said the Noblesville store has 21 choices available each day. “Some flavors – like vanilla, chocolate and original tart – we don’t rotate,” he said. Instead of using mixes, Renbarger said an executive chef oversees the Menchie’s unique product line of private branded yogurt. The store also provides healthier alternatives by offering nonfat, low-fat, no-sugar added and low-carb options. “We really have about everyone covered,” said Renbarger, adding Menchie’s uses the highestquality frozen yogurt and contains live and active cultures, and is endorsed by the National Yogurt Association. Instead of having set sizes and prices, the weight of frozen yogurt and toppings determines the cost. Renbarger said each ounce is 45 cents and waffle cones are an additional $1. Menchie’s is also actively involved in the communities it serves by partnering in fundraising activities and education incentive programs.

Each Menchie’s store donates thousands of dollars in cash and products annually to local schools to support student programs. “We really believe in getting involved in the community with schools and churches,” explained Renbarger. “We give 20 percent back to the groups.” Menchie’s Hamilton Town Center, 13170 Harrell Pkwy., Noblesville, is open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

Cover story

Fishers graduate Emily Worrall provides orphanage for special-needs children in Uganda By Kourtnee Hamilton • editorial@youarecurrent.com In February 2011, 22-year-old Emily Worrall founded an orphanage, Ekisa (meaning “grace”), for special-needs children in Jinja, Uganda. Since then, Ekisa has been providing a home for disabled children and their parents, and employment for disabled adults. Worrall’s first trip to Uganda was during a two-week mission trip in 2007 when she was 17. After the trip, she began traveling there every summer to help in any way she could. While volunteering at Amani Baby Cottage, an orphanage for newborns to 5-year-old children, Worrall developed a connection with three special-needs children. This, along with the evident need for a place children older than age 5 to go to, sparked the idea for Ekisa. According to the Ekisa Web site, Worrall met Emily Henderson, the co-founder of Ekisa, while volunteering at Amani and “a casual comment was made about how amazing it would be to start an orphanage for children with special needs, and that little comment took root deep in each of their hearts.” The first time Worrall went to Uganda with the intention of starting Ekisa was in spring 2010. She stayed for slightly more than a month and talked with people in the Ugandan government to find out everything required to found the orphanage. “I moved (to Uganda) in September 2010,” said Worrall. “Then, we spent the time from September 2010 to February 2011 in Uganda looking for a house and waiting on paperwork. (Later) in February, we got our registration from the Ugandan government that allowed us to take in children.” Before moving to Uganda, Worrall had a plethora of doctor visits to attend in order to receive all the necessary immunizations. According to her, only two immunizations are legally required to be granted entrance into Uganda, but more are recommended. Though she did not have to learn any new language before moving to Ekisa, Worrall has picked up on the local language. Where she lives in Jinja, there are two main languages, but she is

not fluent in either of them. Ekisa has been home to 20 disabled Ugandan children and a staff of 35 Ugandans who are either disabled themselves, or parents of the children. The house is rented, but staff members are looking for land to build their own home. Since moving to Uganda, Worrall has only returned to the U.S. twice. While here during February and March, she traveled across the nation to speak at churches and other events to raise funds for Ekisa. She shared stories of specific children and showed pictures while speaking, and usually opens a Q-and-A at the end of her presentation. “People have been really supportive and touched by our kids’ stories,” said Worrall. “In Uganda, these children with disabilities are seen as worthless. We have a lot of stories of parents changing their minds about their kids (and their place in society).” Her time spent in Uganda, typically 11 months out of the year, is very busy on a daily basis. Being the founder, she takes care of most of the things around the orphanage, including anything to do with administration. Children living at Ekisa wake up at 6 or 7 a.m., bathe and have breakfast. When they go out to play, a physical therapist visits the home and starts working with the kids. A few of the children even attend school in the mornings if they are capable. A mandatory nap time is held in the afternoon after lunch, and the rest of the day they play outside. “There are some really funny Ugandan games our moms play with the kids,” said Worrall. “The most recent one they have taken a liking to is a cross between Monkey in the Middle and dodgeball; it’s very interesting.” After viewing the Invisible Children documentary, “Kony 2012,” which depicts the lives of child soldiers involved in Joseph Kony’s Lord's Resistance Army, Worrall began conducting further research. With the explosion of the Stop Kony 2012 campaign, Worrall found it difficult to say whether it positively or negatively impacted Uganda. She had not yet been back to the nation since the

outburst, but she had read some articles that claimed Ugandans had not received the attention well. “There have been a lot of debates going on (in regard to Joseph Kony), but I think we can all agree he needs to be stopped,” said Worrall. Worrall is looking into receiving grants for being a nonprofit, but all the funds toward Ekisa are raised from private donations.

Ekisa Ministries is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. More information about Ekisa Ministries and how to contribute can be found online at www.ekisa.org. Alternately, check or money order donations can be mailed to: Ekisa Ministries International, Inc., 11901 Hardwick Dr., Fishers, IN 46038.

Editorial Integrity group rates Indiana a deserved C-

Attack of the pink slime It is our position with the outbreak of pink slime reports, it is time we pay more attention to where our meat is coming from. The term pink slime was first coined by Dr. Gerald Zirnstein to describe the process of taking trimmings from beef and combining them. The trimming mixture is then soaked in ammonium hydroxide to raise the pH levels and kill off any E. coli. The mixture is then added to ground beef as a filler, which will help keep prices low. The term pink slime brings images of something that might be seen in a “Ghostbusters” movie, but has never been proven to be any worse than the meat used in chicken nuggets. While the slime may not be as harmful as imagined, we think it’s a good time to look at purchasing meat from local butchers or grocers. A number of local butchers in the area provide meat that has not been artificially altered in any way. Butchers such as Joe’s Butcher Shop & Fish Market, Moody’s Butcher Shop, Archer’s Meats & Catering and if you’re craving something different, you can go to Bison World and get different bison meat products.

Acuity of vision

Commentary by Terry Anker

The blame lies with dependence on the tiny screen of our smartphones. How could we humans be expected to spend hours per day peering desperately into the 3-by-4-inch monitor without some negative impact on our vision? With tiny, tiny print and all-too-much information jam-packed into its alluring interactive screen, some of us have become dependent on the reminders, messages and news that arrive throughout the day. Yet whatever the reason for our collective and growing addiction, I hold it to account for my everdiminishing acuity of vision. When complaining about it, my less tactful friends will point out that for decades, I’ve awakened in the morning instantly able to see both near and far without assistance. And even as peers have succumbed to glasses, contacts or surgery, I’ve lived blissfully unaware of these challenges. Given a few moments (and thankful my arms are as long as they are), I am able to bring into focus the bright blue screen audibly

notifying me of a call – or text – or update – I’m not really sure, but as soon as I get the phone in the right place, it comes into focus and quick, appropriate response follows! But even as our mechanical vision blurs, does the clarity in which we see the world improve? In youth, each and every matter would appear, be identified and dispatched without much consideration. Only later did we realize how poorly we had perceived the situation – how bad our vision really was. Bad career choice. Bad family decisions. Perhaps, even the wrong spouse. But as life has progressed, doesn’t our vision measurably improve? Isn’t our perspective enhanced by life already lived? So even if glasses are inevitable, can’t we rest comfortably in the fact we have a clearer vision now than ever before? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may e-mail him at terry@ currentincarmel.com.

You’ve got to know your limitations. I don’t know what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was 12. I found out there weren’t too many limitations if I did it my way. – Johnny Cash, 20th-century American singer-songwriter Current in Fishers

A colleague, though, pointed us to an organization whose sole function is to track the states’ effectiveness in integrity, and what we learned about Indiana made us shudder. Hoosier Nation ranks 22nd nationally, and what’s frightening is that Illinois, the Land of Lincoln (and imprisoned governors), ranks 10th. State Integrity Investigation scored our state C-. Our government was given a grade of F on public access to information, political financing, ethics enforcement agencies and redistricting. Legislative accountability – here’s a shocker – was scored a D-, although we’re surprised it, too, wasn’t given an F. If you point your browser to www.stateintegrity.org/Indiana, you might be as surprised as we were. It’s a brilliant watchdog tool, with the ability to expand for detail each area given a grade. This should make all of us probe more thoughtfully those we consider hiring to run our state. This also should make all of us think more carefully the next time we go to the polls. It points out the need for transparency and accountability. Do your part by keeping the pressure on. Oh, by the way, New Jersey, for years viewed as one of the most ethically challenged states, leads the parade with a B+. Georgia, with an F, brings up the rear. Only Connecticut, Washington, California (California! Seriously!) and Nebraska were in New Jersey’s class. ••• We have welcomed aboard Stirling Matheson as our Carmel managing editor, although some of his work could appear in all editions.

Fight or flee: The ‘Castle Doctrine’ Commentary by Carl Brizzi

On Feb. 26, 28-year-old George Zimmerman shot and killed 17-year old Trayvon Martin on the sidewalk of Zimmerman’s Florida neighborhood in what he claims was self-defense – Zimmerman has not been charged, but the case is now being investigated by the Dept. of Justice. While the events surrounding this shooting remain cloudy, they have raised many questions about our self-defense rights. Do we have the right to fight? Or must we attempt to flee first? The basic legal premise of the “Castle Doctrine” is there is no “Duty to Retreat” from a bad guy. Duty to retreat means if an intruder enters your home, you may not have a legal defense for protecting yourself with deadly force, unless you first attempted to retreat. This concept makes my head hurt for a number of reasons. It is possible that someone could not only be criminally prosecuted for protecting home and family, but could actually be sued by the intruder or the intruder’s family (if you were a decent shot). This concept, while absurd, is at the

very left end of the self-defense law spectrum. The laws in Florida and Indiana are at the other end. Our state has a much stronger interpretation of the “Castle Doctrine” called “Stand Your Ground.” This notion, also called “No Duty to Retreat,” allows for the use of deadly force by a person who has a legal right to be there – and no duty is imposed to attempt to “get away” first. These self-defense laws are based on a “reasonableness” test. It is reasonable for you, for example, to defend yourself from an attacker – it is not reasonable to shoot him in the back as he is running away. At the end of the 911 tape, Zimmerman tells police Martin is running away. Without evidence indicating Martin doubled back for a confrontation, Zimmerman may not pass this test.

It is possible that someone could not only be criminally prosecuted for protecting home and family, but could actually be sued by the intruder or the intruder’s family (if you were a decent shot).

The science of feeling, looking and living beTTer.

Relocation and Custody Advertisement

Job losses during this economic recession have forced many people to relocate in order to downsize their residences or to pursue new job opportunities. A move may also occur following a divorce, especially if one of the former spouses had temporary living arrangements while the sale of the marital home was pending. People may also relocate when a new relationships leads to cohabitation or remarriage.

Divorce and relocation are two of the most stressful changes in an adult’s life. Numerous details and tasks must be managed and completed. When children are involved, the focus is usually whether the change will affect their friends or which school they attend. But how many parents are aware that their move may violate state statute? Under Indiana Code 31-17-2.2, a relocating individual must file notice of their intent to move with the clerk of the court that issued a custody or parenting time order. This requirement applies regardless of whether the move is across the street, across town or to a different state and has caught many parents by surprise, especially those who divorced prior to the adoption of the new law. Previously, the statute only required filing of a relocation notice when a move was greater than 100 miles. Now, notice must be filed not later than 90 days before the proposed relocation, and the non-relocating parent has 60 days to respond to the filing if the parent seeks to prevent the relocation. The court takes numerous factors into consideration regarding the relocation, including distance involved, and whether the relocating parent is making the move in good faith and has a legitimate reason for the move. The priority of the court is to confirm that the move is in the best interests of the children. If distance is a factor, other matters must be addressed, including how the move will affect parenting time and impact the non-relocating parent’s relationship with the children. This can be a volatile subject for many parents, and the financial and emotional stresses can exacerbate the situation. However, communication and cooperation can minimize the conflict and the parents may be able to negotiate an agreement. Regardless, consulting with an attorney can help either the relocating or non-relocating parent understand how the statute applies to their particular situation and develop a plan of action to address their concerns. The above is for informational purposes only should not be considered legal advice. Each case is unique and you should consult an attorney for advice regarding your particular situation.

Spring shopping stinks Laughs by Danielle Wilson

March is the worst time to go shopping. I was at the mall the other day returning a pair of shorts for my daughter. I had some time to kill and no babies on the hip, so to speak, and decided to pop in to my favorite retailers to see if I could find a few items for spring. I needed some sandals (the sole of one of mine from last year literally broke in half ) and a pair of denim capris (I wore out both knees of my old ones scrubbing floors), and hoped I might also be able to locate a fun new bathing suit. What started off as a lovely day soon became an exercise in self-loathing and insecurity. First off, I’m paler than pale having not seen sun in six months, which meant absolutely nothing looked good on me. Having no tan also meant my cellulite stood out like the proverbial terd in a punchbowl. I don’t have much, but for some reason, the fat likes to party right around my thighs, regardless of how much I exercise or diet. (This is how I know God is a man; a woman would have created a female body that gains weight in the chest and loses it in midsection. Not the other way around!) So the swimsuits were a definite no-go, as were the jeans. I simply could not find a combination of rise and cut that accentuated the right areas. The whole experience was exasperating.

For more laughs, read Mike Redmond's column at currentinfishers.com The coup de grace was my adventure into Victoria’s Secret. Ever since my beloved water bra bit the dust last year, I’ve been too depressed to replace her. Necessity ended my mourning period. So I walked right up to the first sales person (an annoyingly perky 20-year old) and laid it out: “I need bigger and better. Whatcha got?” She was a little too excited to sell me on their miracle of miracle push-ups, which miraculously didn’t make anything bigger or better. Talk about a buzz kill. I try the best VS has to offer, and I’m still measuring at preteen sizes? That’s a damn shame. Five stores and not one purchase. I couldn’t even find a pair of basic black flip-flops because my big unpainted clompers resembled uncooked German sausages. Fair enough. Lessons learned. No summer clothes shopping until August and no bra buying in person. Or ever. Peace out.

Trip down memory lane Laughs by Dick Wolfsie

It’s been a tough couple of months for people who cherish the good old days. Hostess Twinkies are no longer being manufactured; the company filed for bankruptcy. Those tasty treats bring back memories of my elementary school days when I would always bring a package to school, eat one Twinkie and then trade the other to the class sweet-freak, Alan Guggenheim. In exchange, he let me look at his papers during math tests. My grades went way up. So did Alan’s cholesterol. Last night I read the Encyclopedia Britannica will no longer be available in print form. The publishers have decided to go completely digital. I’ll miss them. I recall opening my first set on Christmas morning. Later that day, one fell behind the bookshelf and we didn’t find it until we moved. It was yellowed of course, but I still relished it. Wait, I’m still thinking of the Twinkies. Finally, USA Today reported last week bowling alleys in church basements are dying out. I’ll pause a moment while you compose yourself. I talked to several neighbors who are avid churchgoers and none of them had ever heard of a church with a bowling alley, although my friend Bob explained to me prayer and bowling have always gone together. Negotiating a 7-10 split and recording a 300 are achievements of a 12 | April 3, 2012

celestial nature. As in most churches, perfection is sought, but seldom achieved. In the USA Today story, one man lamented that his church’s bowling alley in New Haven, Conn., had been there for almost a century, but it was not attracting very many players in recent years. He blamed it on all the competition out there for parishioners’ free time – movies, cable TV, social media. His wife thinks it’s because there’s no automatic pin machine and no beer is allowed in a Baptist church. Yes, I think she may be on to something. I grew up in a Jewish home and my family attended a reform temple. I am pretty sure we didn’t have a bowling alley in the basement, but our rabbi was an avid golfer, so he was pushing the congregation to install an artificial putting green. I belong to a Unitarian church now. I’m going to suggest to the board members we build a couple of lanes in the basement and start up a league. Maybe we could play your church team. Good luck coming up with a clever name for your squad. Holy Rollers is already taken.

Osteoporosis: Is your therapy helping? Commentary by Dr. Roger Spahr It is estimated 44 million Americans have reduced bone density. In 2005, 10 million Americans were affected by osteoporosis, increasing to about 17 million in 2010. Approximately 80 percent of those affected are women. Data on vitamin D deficiency is at epidemic proportions, hitting 60 to 70 percent of most persons in the U.S., and hitting up to 90-plus percent in highskin pigmented populations, such as Hispanics and African-Americans. Therapies may include exercise, nutrition and medications, both chemical and hormonal. Often, dual energy X-ray absorptiometry bone scans are used for screening. However, they are not sensitive to small changes and often not repeated for a year. How do you or your doctor know if you are being successful in your selected treatment? I will not discuss therapy, but a way to see if your chosen therapy is working. Let’s discuss how your bones break down and then rebuild themselves. Have you ever seen the machines used by road repair crews that move along, crunching up old asphalt? That machine is followed by another that deposits new asphalt, rolls it out and bingo – you have a new smooth

surface. Your bones operate the same way. Osteoclasts break down old bone and are followed by osteoblasts that fill in the holes left behind. This combo is called a basic multicellular unit. This construction team typically works in tandem for four to eight months. One million BMUs are working to replace 8 to 10 percent of your bones every year. Like any construction project, debris or bone markers are left behind. These bone markers may be measured in the blood or urine. Ratios then indicate if your acceleration of bone loss persists, or it has reversed into bone building. You don’t have to wait for a year to find out. You can check every month or so until your ratios turn positive. This is called a Pyridinium Crosslinks test, which is available through most labs. If you are putting the time, effort and finances into osteoporosis therapy, make sure you are getting a benefit. Perhaps you are doing great. But if you are not, then you need to change your therapy to one that works for you. Dr. Roger Spahr is a board certified physician in family medicine who practices Functional Medicine with Ailanto Group. To reach Roger, write him at webmaster@ailanto.com.

Move the needle: Mistakes Commentary by CJ McClanahan

In fall 1993, I started my first year of law school at Indiana University – Indianapolis. By the end of the first semester, I had come to the realization I disliked everything about studying the law. The next thing you know, I was waiting tables and looking for a job. Personally, the theme is similar. During the years, I’ve had a handful of minor chronic ailments (e.g. – seasonal allergies) and tried numerous fixes for each one (I am now in my second year of allergy shots). My wife will be quick to point out I’ve had more than a few personal trainers, participated in multiple athletic events (ask me about a triathlon in Brown County), visited more doctors than pharmaceutical sales reps and will probably never again use the camping equipment in the garage. I think it’s easy to look at all of this and say, “This guy is nuts,” or “How many mistakes can one person make?” I’ll be the first to admit that at times, it can seem like I’m all over the place. However, during the past five years, I have decided to look at my approach in a different light. It’s called trial and error, and it’s the only way I grow. I wish I would have known prior to taking Off-the-beaten-path stocks – “Little guy” stocks like ON Semiconductor (ONNN) and opentable.com (OPEN) may not have the sex appeal of the more well-known stocks out there, but could pay big dividends in 2012. - usatoday. com

out a student loan, buying the books and enrolling at IU that I would hate law school. It would have been nice to know I don’t have the patience to set up a tent prior to purchasing all of that camping equipment. Unfortunately, in the U.S., we have another term for “trial and error” – we call this process a “mistake,” and most people find it completely unacceptable. Trial and error is part of life. I can’t guarantee you’ll be rich or live in a big house. But one thing I can guarantee with 100 percent certainty is you will make mistakes – lots of them. The question is – how will you respond to each of these mistakes? You have one of three choices. You can hang your head and say, “I am a failure.” You can ignore it and experience trial and error multiple times (there’s a chance that on multiple occasions, I’ve gotten to work and realized my phone is still at home) or you can recognize the error and learn from it. As with most things in life, the solution is simple. All you need to do is execute. “Move the needle” is a regular column by author, speaker and trainer CJ McClanahan.

Worshipping his truth Commentary by Mike Colaw

As a child, I remember one year going to a big church Easter revival. With the full choir, great music and impressive stage construction, church members did an amazing job of bringing ancient Biblical narrative to life! The live animals were impressive, even the Roman Centurions looked like modern-day bodybuilders. It’s really cool to see people express their faith through creative ways. In the last few years, I have had the opportunity to meet some extremely talented artists with the ability to express their deep faith using simple tools like a pencil and paper, and create an image that expresses the depth and truth of their faith. Expression of faith is a wonderful, inspiring ability. I do, however, believe some people get to the point where they begin to worship their expressions of faith more than the truth they claim to believe. I was discussing this concept with a friend of mine the other day, and he said it like this: Imagine a young lady who grew up in a really conservative church. Pretend her mother constantly put the pressure on her to wear long sleeves. After years of fighting, the young lady finally yields to her parents’ wishes and begins to feel peace in her heart. The rebellious fight

in her finally calms and she feels like a new person. Even the relationship with her parents improves. Let’s pretend, years later, she has a daughter. She deeply wants her daughter to experience the peace she did, so she forces her daughter to repeat the same ritual of worship – wear long sleeves. This mother doesn’t realize her peace had nothing to do with the sleeves and had everything to do with a heart transformation that took place as a result of her willingness to honor her parents; the sleeves were just an expression of the event transpired in her heart. Religious people do this in many different ways. Many people, if closely examined, worship their expressions more than any truth they claim to believe. There is nothing wrong with long sleeves, huge Easter productions or even an organ playing an old hymn, as long as we never forget these should be expressions of a truth that lives in our hearts. The Bible does give rudimentary expressions we all should exhibit. Take a moment and read all of 1 Corinthians 13 and Galatians 5:22. Mike Colaw is the director of ministries at Trinity Church.

Remodeling

Open-roof porch integrated with outdoor living space Commentary by Larry Greene Original porch: This home, located in the Windpointe section of Waterstone in Carmel, was built mid-’90s and the owners have lived in the home for more than two years. While the home has a beautiful wooded lot and existing screened-in porch, the backyard area didn’t provide the functionality the family needed. “We knew we wanted to remodel the outdoor area as soon as we moved in. The concrete patio was too small and not in-line with the rest of the house. We wanted to expand on it. The screened porch was showing signs of deterioration, so we knew we would either have to perform extensive repairs or totally remodel it. We decided to take all of the rotted walls and screens out of the porch and have a covered, open dining area.” Porch modifications: The existing screen porch was modified to eliminate screens and knee walls and create enough comfortable space for casual dining for eight. The existing framing was modified and new decorative cedar corner braces were added. New exterior trim was added and a beaded ceiling installed, along with new ceiling fans and lighting. Fire pit and hardscape with pergola: The

outdoor living design included a fire pit, seat walls, planter boxes and a grilling island. Bronze low-voltage lighting was added to illuminate the steps and pathways. The new patio features natural travertine stone, including rock-face stone copings for the post caps, walls and grilling area. Stair copings were upgraded to travertine with a radius nosing profile. Final results: The homeowners commented, “My husband’s and kids’ favorite part of the area is the fire pit. I like the open-porch dining area. Before, the small-screened porch was not conducive to the seven of us eating dinner out

there. Now, we have dinner outside all the time because the open space fits our family. It is a much more relaxing space now. The design of the three areas – dining, lounging and fire pit – flows nicely together.”
