State warns of contamination, phosphorus beneath Geist’s surface

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com

It may be iced over, but underneath the frozen top, the waters of Geist Reservoir are still home to contaminants that state health officials aren’t forgetting about. A brief history reservoir In 2007, state health officials first reported that water samples collected by Veolia Water Indianapolis as part of their reservoir sampling program found a low level of blue-green algae toxin in the water. The report stated: “standard water treatments prevent the algae toxin from affecting drinking water, but it may adversely impact recreational users of the reservoir.” “People in the area should not be concerned about their drinking water,” stated Robert Teclaw, an epidemiologist with the State Department of Health, at the time. He recommended avoiding swimming in the Geist Reservoir, and being careful not to swallow water when skiing or boating. Now, more than seven years later, this 2007 report still stands as one of the prominent studies in recent history. On Aug. 26 of last year, a ‘high cell count’ alert was given for the presence of blue-green algae growth, after the water was tested weekly throughout the summer by Citizens Water. Fishers steps in Most recently, Fishers mayor Scott Fadness and the Geist Impoundment Fund Board allotted more than $100,000 for consultants from Cardno JFNew to conduct new testing of the water. These results were released on Jan. 6. The study found that there are high levels of phosphorus in the water, and that the Geist area needs “conservation tillage, cover crops, and an increase of the use of phosphorus free fertilizer.” This will include, but is not limited to local water companies, such as Citizens Water, using methods of dredging, a method of removing the earth and soils beneath the water.

Q and A with Scott Fadness Q: What led you to pursue the most recent water study about Geist? A: There has been a lot of discussion by several residents about the current state of the water quality in Geist. I had spoken with the leaders of the Geist Lake Coalition and they convinced me that it needed to be looked at. To my knowledge no one had conducted a Fadness comprehensive third party evaluation of the lake’s health. I thought it was important to get objective information regarding the issue. Q: What exactly did the study tell you? A: Several things; phosphorus is our number one issue and up stream run off from agricultural land is the primary source. In order to make any noticeable change in the water quality, drastic measures would need to be taken and large sums of money spent. The lake itself is not likely to deteriorate any further in regard to water quality. Issues like weed control and dredging remain necessary for the lake to remain viable for recreational uses. Q: You’ve talked of there being misinformation surrounding the safety of the waters, but isn’t it true that there are still high levels of phosphorus and blue-green algae? A: I would refer you to the study. The study suggests that although there may be certain weather phenomenon that could cause [blue-green] blooms from time to time, the water quality of the lake will not see significant deterioration over the long term. Q: What is the city of Fishers doing to help the Geist residents restore clean water? A: We partner on watershed projects, and we partner with the Geist Lake Coalition for the Blast on the Bridge annual fundraiser. We work on public information campaigns about the effects of phosphorus. Q: Final thoughts? A: This is mere a first step in a long thoughtful discussion that needs to occur about a very important asset in our community. I think every large public policy issue should start with good information and this was an excellent start.

Fishers City Council recap What happened: City planner Adam Zaklikowski presented the third reading of a request to annex 6.8 acres west of Olio Road between 116th Street and 118th Street, known as Taylor Woods and North Shore Woods. The new Kroger redevelopment project would proceed with or without annexation of this acreage, but the city would not be able to collect taxes. It is a voluntary annexation. The council unanimously approved the ordinance. What it means: The city can collect taxes on the newly annexed acreage.

What’s next: March 4 is the anticipated effective date of the annexation.

What happened: The first reading of a request to rezone the northwest corner of 126th Street and Promise Road for Bedrock Builders’ new planned unit development was presented to the council. Bottom row left to right - Brannt Faris, Matt White, Michael Ewen. Top Row left to right: Gentry Hudson, Tristan Gold, Bryce Rief, Grant Woods and Ryan Kuhl. (Submitted photo)

Woods crowned Mr. Royal

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

Hamilton Southeastern High School senior Grant Woods had attended Mr. Royal performances in the past. However, it never occurred to him achievement to participate in the seniors-only contest until this year. “I’m glad I did. By far, I think it was the most fun I’ve had in high school,” Woods said.

Woods was crowned Mr. Royal out of the 17 contestants on Jan. 29 in the annual competition at the high school auditorium. For his talent portion, Woods did a saxophone quartet. “I wrote an arrangement of Disney songs and we had some choreography and we performed it for everyone,” Woods said. All the contestants portrayed a ’90s icon. Woods conducted his interview as Ms. Frizzle from “The Magic School Bus.”

What it means: Bedrock Builders would like to build Granite Ridge, a new single family neighborhood, but the area needs to be rezoned to allow for the plan to move forward. The builders expect the PUD home prices to average between $450,000 and $550,000.

What’s next: A plan commission review is scheduled for Feb. 10.

What happened: City planner Kevin Stotz requested to approve an amendment to the Fishers Marketplace PUD, located at the northeast corner of 131st and Ind. 37 to accommodate a new Children’s Learning Adventure center. The petitioner would like to build a facility larger than the current PUD requirement. What it means: The Fishers Planning Commission staff and petitioner request feedback from council members.

What’s next: A plan commission review is scheduled for Feb. 10.

On Jan. 29, the Hamilton County Sheriff’s office held a free public education forum on workplace and school violence at the safety Hamilton County 4-H Fairgrounds. The goal of the evening was to educate area residents on how to prevent and respond to issues of violence when they occur in the workplace and schools. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the FBI and U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics have released preliminary data from 2013 which shows that there were 397 fatal workplace injuries in the United States that were classified as homicides. “Personal safety is so important. Sometimes people don’t always understand how to prepare. We think that providing people with information in a meaningful way is vital to their safety,” said Sgt. Bill Clifford, who served as the key speaker for the workplace violence portion of the presentation. “Information is power, and helping people empower themselves is essential.” With years of study and practical experience in the field of use of force issues, Sgt. Clifford explained how to prepare for and respond to issues of violence that might arise in the workplace. Deputy Brad Osswald, a school resource officer in the Hamilton Heights school district shared information about the ALICE program taught in Hamilton County schools. ALICE is broken up into five strategies: • Alert: Notify as many people as possible within the danger zone that a potentially life threatening risk exists.

• Lockdown: Secure in place, and prepare to evacuate or counter, if needed. • Inform: Continue to communicate the intruder’s location in real time. • Counter: Interrupt the intruder and make it difficult or impossible to aim. • Evacuate: Remove yourself from the danger zone when it is safe to do so. “I think the parents and grandparents with children in school systems need to know what’s being taught in schools. We have a plan in the school to help children survive in a violent event. We feel that ALICE is the best program because it enhances their ability to use their senses to find the ability to survive,” said Osswald.

Art as Fashion

IMA curator Niloo Paydar shares love of fashion in upcoming exhibit By Beth Taylor • beth@youarecurrent.com For Geist resident, Niloo Paydar, curator of textile and fashion arts at the Indianapolis Museum of Art (IMA), fashion is the greatest art form imaginable. From the smallCover Story est details of the design work to the way the designer intended a fashion piece to move on the human body, Paydar creates exhibits to share her love of textiles with the public. “This is really not a job to me. It is work, but it’s actually my dream job. To be able to be surrounded by beautiful things every day is wonderful,” said Paydar. She received both a bachelor’s degree of fine arts and a master’s degree of fine arts at Syracuse University. She learned about the IMA while

time she was raising two small boys. Paydar is curating an upcoming exhibition that will open on April 17. The exhibition, “Cutting Edge Fashion: Recent Acquisitions,” showcases pieces by innovative fashion designers who consistently present groundbreaking, artistic collections. Featured designers include Rudi Gernreich, Vivienne Westwood, Alexander McQueen, Issey Miyake and Franco Moschino. Paydar especially enjoys the humor the late Moschino, known for his irreverent and imaginative designs, brought to fashion. “He made fun of how fashion controls women—they follow whatever trend is in no matter what it might be,” she said. One of Paydar’s favorite pieces is a dinner suit with knives and forks attached to the bodice. Paydar has been curating the exhibit since last summer. She researches ideas and chooses the

At the time, there was no job, so I volunteered. Funding is always tight at museums. Then, a couple years later, I was making $5 an hour and paying a babysitter $4 an hour, but I loved being at the IMA, ” Paydar said, recalling her first paid position at the IMA in 1987, at which

Sixty pieces will be shown in this recent acquisitions exhibit. “These pieces have been acquired since 2007 and haven’t been exhibited before. It’s time to bring them out and show them to the public,” she said. One of the biggest challenges is making sure

that the mannequins used to show the clothing items have the proportions that the designer intended for the dress. “These are works of art, so we don’t alter a dress, we alter the mannequin by adding padding,” Paydar said, noting that the height of the mannequin is important, too. “In the 1950s, for example, the length of a dress was very important,” she said. “The tealength dress reflects the time period, so a mannequin can’t be too tall for the dress.” Paydar will use a dynamic installation, enabling the viewing public to walk around the mannequins. “I like people to be able to see all 360 degrees around the mannequin—the can see the back details, the buttons and zippers,” she said. The largest fashion collections at the IMA are by designers with Indiana ties--Halston, Bill Blass and Norman Norrel. “Fashion is really a three-dimensional work of art that is supposed to be put into motion. When you see fashions on a runaway, they have so much life,” she said.

Extrovert plague

FRO M   T H E BACKSHOP

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Just the Ticket created for you A bit more than a year ago, Current Publishing produced a glossy insert titled Tables. It was a dining guide encompassing much of Central Indiana. Critically and otherwise, it was a success. We received heavy compliments, and we were grateful for them. Our plan was to have a second edition about six months later. The more we talked to restaurateurs, the more we learned that they liked the annual version best. As time went by, another informal survey was taken, and they told us they wanted more frequency but at a lower price point. So, we went back to the drawing board, and we developed a successor to Tables. It is Just the Ticket, and the first edition of the special section, which we hope to provide quarterly, is included with today’s edition of Current. Take a look, please. You might recall that the content of all our editions is predicated on the results of independent marketplace research. The good folks at SMARI, Inc., did the study, and dining and entertainment clearly we No. 1 among the findings wrought from the statistically reliable sampling. In order to feed the need, if you will, Just the Ticket should prove, we hope, to be the appropriate answer. We focus on dining, certainly, but we’ve also included experiential offerings, for the research tells us, too, that ours is an active community. So, we urge you to read – and make use of – Just the Ticket and to patronize our advertisers, for without them the section would not exist. We also would appreciate you sharing with us any or all Central Indiana experiences you believe your fellow readers need to know about. Those would include the “hidden gems” and, perhaps, out-of-the-way places and events out there. If it occurs to you, we would welcome your thoughts and tips at info@youarecurrent.com.

Cultural omnivore

Commentary by Terry Anker

Growing up in rural Indiana in the last half of the last century meant that one’s entertainment options were severely limited. With less than a handful of reliable television signals, radio was dominant. Wolfman Jack led the irreverent charge late-night. Wasn’t the so-called Dr. Demento another? But the remaining airtime was dedicated to the Farm Report and the local call-in swap show, Trading Post. To be sure, there is high drama in negotiating to exchange a used dryer for a collection of gas station glasses while live. But by in large, we small town Hoosiers had to make our own fun. Some sang or played instruments. One cousin, a would-be playwright, would force her brothers and me to perform her dramas to our parents. In hindsight, the only good thing about the “shows” is that no one ever bothered to record one. But we came of age eager to be entertained. When the county fair was in town, we’d all go. When the local team played, we were there to cheer.

When our cousin’s “band” was at the Odd Fellows, we’d sing along. When the drive-in movie would change every other week, we’d be first in line for the new flick. In short, we became cultural omnivores. We learned to appreciate any work (from almost anyone) intended to entertain. Sure, some might say the standards were low; but, the objective was to taste a little of everything – sport, music, art – each got its turn. Perhaps it is because of the many choices, but we seem to be increasingly becoming specialists. A football fan refuses to see a drama. And, a symphony enthusiast misses the joy at Indy Eleven. Wouldn’t it be better if we pushed our boundaries? While it’s good to have favorites, a single food diet can’t be healthy.

Q U O T E OF  T H E  W EE K Weekends don’t count unless you spend them doing something completely pointless.

– Bill Watterson

Here’s my new favorite quote: “There is no greater plague to the introvert than the extroverted,” from author Pierce Brown. This so perfectly captures the essence of almost every marital tiff my husband Doo and I have experienced. Take this past weekend. With my life force nearly drained from a fourteen-hour dance competition on the southeast side, I used the long car ride home to recharge. Darkness, a sleeping ten-year-old, and the smooth vocals of Peter Cetera softly playing in the background, had this introvert feeling fine by the time I arrived home. Then I walked through our door and was bombarded with bright lights, loud music, the distinct odor of garlic and a dining room table piled high with back-packs, an assortment of hair accessories and a plastic blue air cannon (because we simply cannot find a place to store that thing!). Unwilling and frankly, unable, to cope with the sudden change from my peaceful mini-van interior to this obnoxious sensory overload, I hastily retreated to my sanctuary, the master bedroom. But when I flung open the door, I discovered Doo plus two kids sprawled out on the nowunmade bed watching “Transformers TwentyNine” at theater-level volume. And because the last vestiges of patience had deserted me after my daughter’s third (third!) awards’ ceremony of the day, I couldn’t keep my thoughts to myself. Luckily Doo was in a good mood, and didn’t take the bait. He knows a mommyon-the-edge when he sees one. Under normal circumstances though, the confrontation would have spiraled into an argument over whose needs are greater. And it all comes down to the fact that we are classic examples of an introvert and an extrovert. I equate happiness to beach reading, dimmer switches and nine-to-eleven hours of sleep, while Doo finds rejuvenation in rave music, laser-light shows and constant interaction with as many people as possible. Our “vertisms” should have kept us apart, and yet I think it’s those very differences that keep us together. So yes, when I’m trying to go to relax at night and Doo opens his laptop, turns on Archer, and begins reading The Economist with the help of every overhead light, I do feel like he’s unleashed my own personal evening apocalypse. Just as I’m sure my manic obsession with a vampire-like lifestyle grinds his gears. But it works for us. I ensure that our children get to bed on time and that we don’t blow the electricity bill, while Doo makes certain I nurture friendships and occasionally leave the house. He’s definitely my plague, but in a good way. Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist. You may e-mail her at danielle@currentincarmel.com.

The weekly caption contest (which debuted in 1997) is now a regular feature of this iconic magazine whose single-panel cartoons have been making America laugh since 1925. Some of the captions have become part of our lexicon and no one knows that better than cartoon editor Robert Mankoff. His depiction of a businessman on the phone saying: “Thursday is no good. How about never? Does never work for you?” made it into the Yale Book of Quotations. Which brings us back to Rachel. She and her husband, a physician in Indy, compete every week. Few people win after only a few tries, although Rachel scored the prize after only about a dozen attempts. She made a copy of the cartoon and carried it around, hoping for inspiration. The word “Olé!” stuck in her mind but even a bull

saying Ole! isn’t funny. She knew that most New Yorker cartoon captions are familiar words and phrases placed in a different context or with a twist of the wording. Rachel learned she was a finalist in an email from the magazine, and then had to deal with her excitement while assuring her envious husband that his caption, “We need a better agent,” was just as funny as hers (it wasn’t). The other two finalists had submitted: “What happened to your last partner?” and “Remember, at the dip, I gore you.” The reward for her accomplishment was modest: a signed copy of the cartoon with Rachel’s entry beneath it. So what was that winning caption? Rachel explains that her final brainstorm was a spin on Renée Zellweger’s line in the movie Jerry Maguire, with Tom Cruise. After Cruise went on ad nauseam about his love for her, Zellweger says, “You had me at hello.” And so, in Rachel’s caption, the bull says to the matador, as they hold each other in a dancing embrace: “You had me at Olé.”

Open some bubbly with any budget

By Chris Bavender • news@geistcurrent.com

It’s a sound often associated with romance and celebration champagne corks popping and bubbly spilling into a glass. But for many, knowing what to buy for that special occasion - such as Valentine’s Day - can seem daunting. drinks “The best and most popular is Champagne and Prosecco from Italy which can range from $10-$500. The key thing is to decide how sweet or dry you would like your sparkling wine to be and what you are using it for,” said BethAnn Kendall, wine and food manager for Vine & Table in Carmel. “If it’s for cocktailing you still want a good quality sparkling but not spend too much where as if it a special occasion you’ll want something a little more special.” Champagne actually refers to the wine region in France - 90 miles northeast of Paris - that produces sparkling wine, according to Kendall. Kendall “Only wine from this region can be called champagne - everywhere else is sparkling wine,” Kendall said. When it comes to the budget conscious, Kendall said a top seller you can’t go wrong with is Maschio Prosecco Brut. “It’s $12.99, dry and balanced, perfect for any occasion whether it’s toasting to celebration or mimosa’s in the morning,” she said. “Naveran Cava Brut has amazing aromatics and is bursting with fruit at only $15.49.” For those with a little more to spend, Kendall recommends Veuve Clicqout. “The history of the winery dates back to 1772 and they have eight winemakers to ensure the taste and quality is the same every vintage so you always know what you are getting,” she said. “Ayala Brut is a 150-year-old family owned and operated winery that is harder to find but outstanding champagne.” If money is no option, however, Kendall said the best and the most expensive come from Champagne, France. “They only make vintage champagne in good vintages so that really sets a standard on the quality of the grapes. It’s generally smaller production. Vintage champagnes are special because they are aged for a minimum of three years although a majority age it for 10 years prior to release,” she said. “Dom Perignon 2003 is our most popular vintage champagne. Nicolas Feuillatte Palmes D’Or 2002 is another great vintage champagne. This bottle is most often called the ‘golf ball bottle’ but the story is that Nicolas was Tip: Champagne should never explode. If it does, that most likely means it’s too warm and needs to be chilled for 2-3 hours.

enamored with an opera singer and would travel the world to hear her sing at different venues. This wine was made in honor of her and the unique bottle style was to look like pearls, something she always wore.” When it comes to bubbly, how you present it is key. “Start by removing the foil, put your thumb on the top and untwist the cage. You want to hold the bottle at a 45 degree angle and twist from the bottom of the bottle,” Kendall said. “Never letting your thumb off

the top of the cork.” While you often see champagne “exploding” in the movies when it’s opened, Kendall said that definitely should not happen. “Champagne explodes when it’s too warm or shaken,” she said. “Although I think the sound of a cork popping does set the tone for a celebration.” But with such endless choices, you’ll likely be happy no matter what bubbly you end up pouring in your glass. After all, as Dom Pierre Perignon said when he first tasted his creation - “Come quickly! I’m tasting stars!”

Best-selling champagnes at any budget include: $ Naveran Cava Brut - $15 $$ Veuve Clicqout - $45 $$$ Nicolas Feuillatte Palmes D’Or Vintage 2002 - $135

Ballerinas to open with ‘Birthday’ performance March 1 The Central Indiana Dance Ensemble, a pre-professional ballet company based in Carmel, is pleased to announce that it will present “Birthday Variations,” choreographed by Gerald Arpino, at its Mixed Rep production on March 1 at the Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre.

‘Ghost Story’ a hauntingly good time at Oaklandon Civic Theatre By Marcia Ellett • news@geistcurrent.com The building housing Oaklandon Civic Theatre — Oaklandon Universalist Church — has a “notable” rating by the Indiana Division of theater Historic Preservation and Architecture, and the Oaklandon District is recognized in both the National Register of Historic Places and the Indiana Register of Historic Sites and Structures. With such a rich history dating back to 1850, including the building twice being destroyed by fire, there is perhaps no better place than OCT to stage and set the mood for local playwright Marsha Grant’s play “Ghost Story.” But fear not, the play is a family-friendly farce centering on corporate whistle-blower Eva and her daughter, Caro, who is sequestered at a pretrial, broken-down safe house on Chesapeake Bay, find their hideaway is haunted by ghosts and the living alike. Gangsters, a pirate, a nosey neighbor and two inquisitive cops guarantee theatergoers will experience high spirits and frequent laughter. Local actress, OTC artistic director and “Ghost Story” co-producer Donna Wing launched the the-

atre company in 2004 with the mission to design stage productions “to address the emotional and intellectual needs of our community by ranging from being simply entertaining to being thoughtprovoking, controversial and enlightening.” Grant, who lives in Carmel, pulls double duty as “Ghost Story’s” writer and director. She calls Indianapolis and surrounding areas “a vital cultural community,” and is proud to have “taken an active part in the theatre community for almost 40 years.” “I cast Donna in another play I was directing and she immediately asked me to direct [at OCT],” Grant recalls. It began a collaboration on multiple projects. Of OCT’s location she says, “We have a very strong community … a good patron base.” That community often includes other business involvement, such as Bonnie’s Café, which will offer dessert during “Ghost Story’s” theme-oriented intermission. Oaklandon Civic Theatre is located at 6450 Oaklandon Rd. Performances begin March 13, and tickets are $12 each.

Love, one scoop at a time

By Chris Bavender • news@geistcurrent.com

When Greg and Cindy Glaros got married in 1981 the only partnership on their minds was the one made official on the Partnership marriage license. The couple had two children - Gina, now 27; and Jonny, now 25. Cindy stayed home to raise the kids - Greg found himself busy in the corporate world - rising to VP at the former Carmel-based Thompson Consumer Electronics. But the long hours and constant travel began to wear. “I traveled all over the country, Paris a few times a year, and just found that I was spending a lot of time away from my family and the kids,” Greg said. That led to talk of leaving his 20-year career behind and joining forces with Cindy to open a family business. It was a move Cindy supported despite knowing they’d be merging their business and private lives. “I had a few qualms but I really was for it,” she said. “I liked the idea of him being home more and being a family business.” The couple originally thought they might open a pizza business. “We started down that path and then I was talking to my brother-in-law while I was still at RCA and he told me I should open a Handels,” Greg said. “They had just started to franchise and we grew up on it and were familiar with it - it’s an institution in Youngstown (Ohio). So, we met with them and they liked us and thought we could do the job.” Fast forward a little more than a year later and - in June of 2002 - the Glaros’ opened a Handels in Fishers. The two worked long hours side by side at the shop to not only make sure the business ran smoothly and gained momentum, but often scooping up ice cream for cus-

tomers. Their kids helped them after school. “I think it probably was a much different environment than we were used to because I was traveling a lot and leaving at 7 a.m. and back 7 at night and were just so happy to be together,” Greg said. For Cindy, the change meant learning to communicate more effectively as a couple - and as business partners. “I always go back to communicating and having an open mind and listening to each other,” she said. “It sounds cliché but I think that is the key. We are with each other so much so when something is on our minds we just talk about it right then and there.” “We found our groove in terms of what we were doing in business with paperwork and bills and making ice cream,” Greg said. “I say this all the time but balance is the key to everything.” That, and still making time to pursue their individual interests. “We find things to do on our own and have some time apart,” Greg said. “We try to keep a good mix of work, family and time on our own.” And it just makes the time together that much sweeter.

Preventing falls, independence loss Commentry by P. Jamieson Kay, M.D.

“I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!” So goes the iconic TV spot, featuring older adults calling for help after a fall. Though fictitious, health the TV scene reflects a common predicament that likely has impacted someone close to you. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one in three adults age 65 or older falls each year, affecting just about all families. In fact, falls are the leading cause of open wounds and fractures, often robbing older adults of their independence. I see plenty of patients with fall injuries, especially during winter months when ice and snow raise risks for people of all ages. Most often, they’ve suffered wrist, ankle and hip fractures - the latter presenting considerable problems for older adults. The devastating part of a hip fracture is recovery, because many patients lose independence, at least temporarily, and need to go into a rehab facility or nursing home. In some cases, they never recover that independence. That’s the real tragedy. According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, most fall fractures happen in the home, stemming from daily activities like walking on stairs, going to the bathroom or working in the kitchen. The culprits: slippery or wet surfaces, poor lighting, inadequate footwear and clutter. Prevention starts with minimizing hazards in the home. Remove clutter and other tripping points, and have light switches or night-lights in convenient spots so you don’t have to fumble in the dark for the light switch. I also recommend non-skid mats and handrails in the bathroom the most dangerous room in the house because you’re adding water and wet floors to the mix. Throw rugs are particularly dangerous. They get bunched up and people commonly trip on them. I also recommend weight-bearing exercise, like walking, on a regular basis, to maintain muscle mass and balance. Also, mind your footwear: Wear non-skid soles and ditch high heels. And in this weather, if you don’t need to go out, don’t.

Lisbon’s Tower of Belém

Commentary by Don Knebel

By 1500, Portuguese seafarers had explored the western coast of Africa and sailed around the Cape of Good Hope Travel to India, bringing new ideas and images back to Europe. The iconic “Tower of Belém,” near where the explorers departed, reflects this unprecedented “Age of Discovery.” The “Tower of Belém was begun in 1513 when Portugal’s King Manuel I ordered a fortress built on a small island in the Tagus River to defend Lisbon’s busy port. The king also wanted to salute the Order of Christ, successor to the banned Knights Templar, which had financed many voyages of the Portuguese explorers, including those of members Vasco de Gama and Bartholomeu Dias. The limestone fortress, completed in 1519, comprises a hexagonal bastion facing the river, with openings for cannons on five sides, and an adjoining tower, with a chapel and a room for the king. The two-part structure, officially named the “Tower of St. Vincent” after the patron saint of Lisbon, combined images collected by Portuguese explorers from around the world. The silhouette of the four-story tower section evoked temples of eastern India. The twelve melon-domed turrets for small arms and a loggia with seven arches supported on columns drew on Moorish designs. Representa-

tions of exotic animals, including what is said to be first rhinoceros seen in Europe, were carved below the turrets. Crosses of the Order of Christ and pyramid-capped designs copied from Moroccan city walls served as merlons. Nautical rope, manifested in stone, bounded the bastion and tower. The bastion employed more than thick walls for protection. A large statue of the Virgin Mary holding the infant Jesus faced the river from above the cannon openings,

What’s your plan for outdoor living this year? Commentary by Randy Sorrell

Seal Cove is a throwback horror story with just the right mix of contemporary humor, smarts, and monster gore. It’s an engaging novel that will have enthusiastic readers saying, “Finally, a horror story void of vampires, werewolves, or zombies!” Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Available in paperback at Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.

I suppose we all have our personal definitions of both luxurious and outdoor living. For our family, it means anything outdoors but, predominantly nesting and entertainoutdoors ing around the deliciously landscaped back yard patios and built in grill station. Almost nightly, it’s freshair dining under the pergola, as the wind chimes echo and the music de-jour sets the tone. Bright and comfortably cushioned patio furniture makes prolonged lingering both elegant and natural, often past dark. Vacations are planned, problems minimized, girls talk, laughter erupts, neighbors stop by and life happens. Who needs TV? What’s your definition? INTROSPECTIVE QUESTIONS Pause … and think about how you want to live in 2015. What emotional connection, element or set of experiences would you prefer to encourage? Hope to see the kids studying or reading a book under a patio umbrella? Would you dig an occasional fire to warm the spirits and spark the mood? Does your grill need new burners and a stainless steel shine or built into a counter for prep? Ever dreamed of a hot tub to soothe frazzled nerves or ease muscle fatigue? And, the recent most compelling issues: shade and privacy. Need some?

Four flooring ideas to better the bathroom

Commentary by David Decker

For most people, the bathroom is where the day usually begins and ends. And one major element that plays a role in creating a comfortable, luxurious environment is the indoors flooring. Flooring is such a key part of any design scheme because of the sheer amount of space it takes up. Additionally, choosing the right bathroom flooring material also requires an eye for practicality because of the amount of moisture, heat and wear that will inevitably occur. Ceramic – Tile is currently the most popular of all bathroom-flooring selections for a number of reasons. It’s easy to clean, fairly resistant to harboring germs and durable enough to uphold against heat or water contact. The most popular types of tiles are ceramic and porcelain or stone. Ceramic tiles are created from clay that is fired at high temperatures to create a hard, water resistant surface. These tiles are available in numerous designs, and are extremely durable (although they can possibly crack or break if they are not installed properly). Instead of being fired, porcelain tiles are made from pressed clay, which means they are more durable and water resistant. Porcelain tiles can be found in numerous styles and colors, and often at a very reasonable price range. If you are going for a classic or rustic look, stone tiles can add a natural beauty to the space. And of course, stone is so

durable that it can be installed in outdoor areas as well. It’s important to weigh the pros and cons of the different tile materials when selecting a flooring design. When creating a tile design, you can add visual interest by creating patterns, varying the sizes or incorporating various shapes together. Glass accents – Glass tiles can be integrated along with other tile materials into countertops,

backsplashes and bathroom floors. You can even use glass to create tile borders surrounding the shower, tub, sink or other areas that you want to stand out. Heated floors – Tile flooring is easy to maintain, visually eye-catching and available in countless design options. But because of its physical properties, tile can often feel cold underneath your feet. That’s why radiant (or heated) flooring can be an excellent addition to your bathroomflooring plan. Flooring can either be heated using an electrical, or a water circulation system to warm the floor from underneath. Heated flooring is not a cheap option, but can add luxury to your bathroom (especially during these cold, winter months). Kid-friendly options – Kids have a knack for making watery messes in the bathroom. So you’ll probably want to select bathroom flooring that’s equipped to handle spills. Sheet vinyl tiles are water resistant, but can be slick when wet. Look for a design that features an anti-slip texture if you are concerned about safety. You could also go with ceramic or laminate tiles, but be sure to choose a waterproof caulk to seal the flooring.
