Family receives help from parish

By James Feichtner • james@youarecurrent.com Faith can be a powerful motivator and it certainly is for one McCordsville family in need. The Beach family has gone fundraiser through a tremendous struggle over the past few months, but with the help of their parish and strong faith, things are looking up for the family of six. The father, Tom Beach, is diagnosed with Pulmonary Fibrosis, a condition where lung tissue becomes damaged and scarred, making it difficult for lungs to function properly. Fortunately, Tom was able to receive a double lung transplant and is now currently recovering from the surgery. But aside from his medical difficulties, Tom’s position at Eli Lilly was eliminated in April as part of a series of lay-offs within the company. With Tom being the main source of income, their only son being diagnosed with Autism and medical bills piling up, the family was facing a financial crisis. “They are a family who had a need,” said Dodi Poynter, family friend and member of the Beach’s parish. “The husband was [very ill] and now he has a lung transplant. They don’t have the income and he can’t apply for unemployment because he can’t go out and apply for a job. And they have four children. They needed help and someone needed to help them.” Poynter decided to take matters into her own hands to help. She knew she needed to reach out to the community, but needed a way to do it on a large scale, so Poynter looked to gofundme.com. “They had so many different outlets to reach out to assist, but I needed a vehicle to reach out to those outlets and so in my mind I’m thinking, “How am I going to help this family with their immediate needs and how am I going to do it now?”

Leadership summit – The Hamilton County Leadership Academy will host a Leadership Summit from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. June 12 at the 502 East Event Center, 502 E. Carmel Dr. Mickey Maurer, Chairman of the Board of National Bank of Indianapolis, will be the featured speaker. Tickets are $50. RSVP online at www.hcla.net. Chalk art festival – Artists are invited to register for the Hamilton Town Center Chalk Art Festival to be held from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. June 20. Each artist will have one parking space to design. Both professional and amateur categories will be judged. To register, call the Hamilton Town Center office at 214-6956.

Poynter said. “They have a mortgage, they have utilities, they have a child with Autism. This family needs help; a little bake sale is not going to do it. We need something big. With the Gofundme.com, we can reach anyone at anywhere at any time to be able to be a part of this.” Within six days of the gofundme.com page being launched, Poynter has raised over $50,000 out of their $150,000 goal. On top of that, members of their catholic parish have volunteered their time to help the family in other ways. On May 30, volunteers gathered at the Beach residence to help with yard work and chop wood for the family’s wood burning stove. “Everybody else hopped on board in helping support the family,” Poynter said. “There are different ministries within our parish who have come forward and have offered significant support, such as the Knights of Columbus, who organized the outdoor cleaning. It’s just members of their parish coming to assist this family that is in need. It’s taking initiation. This family needs help and they need it now.” The Beach family is astounded by the support their friends and members of their parish have supplied. To learn more or donate, visit gofundme.com/vjk9e4

Peace: At what cost? Commentary by Michael VandenBerg In Matthew 10 of the Bible, Jesus is quoted as saying, “I have not come to religion bring peace, but a sword.” These are strange words for one who is known as the prince of peace. Jesus pronounced His blessing on those who were peacemakers, He gave His peace to those who received Him, He instructed His disciples to be at peace with one another, yet here we hear Him say that it is not peace that He has come for, but war. Peace, it seems is usually that illusive dream that we strive for but never seem to quite achieve. When the world was thrust into war, twice in 50 years, it was peace that we sought. When once again we found ourselves at war in Korea, the Middle East and around the world, we dream again of peace. Peace all too often for us means a cessation of war. For Jesus, peace was not something that was absent (war), but something that was added to our lives. It was eliminating the negatives in our lives and refilling them with positive. It was taking our guilt ridden, sin laden, over-taxed, over-worked lives and replacing them with lives lived in satisfaction,

hope, assurance, love and yes, peace. Jesus said, “My peace I give to you; not as the world gives peace, do I give it to you. I say, Let not your hearts be troubled.” Jn. 14:27 Jesus came to make war with troubled hearts. He came to do battle with the pain and destruction of lives that were torn apart by the lies, deceit and troubles of daily living. When the battle was done, He filled the void that the absence of these negatives created, by filling our lives with peace, contentment, satisfaction, a higher calling and God’s love. Jesus came to trouble the comfortable and comfort the troubled. May all of your troubles be engaged in battle by Christ’s sword of the Spirit, so that the negatives in your life will be replaced in Christ’s love with the positive power of His peace. Rev. Michael VandenBerg is the pastor of Hope Community Church, a congregation of the Christian Reformed Church and a community consultant for City in the Church Consulting. He and his wife Nancy have been Indiana residents for over 17 years and Indianapolis residents since 2008. He can be contacted at office@ indyhopecrc.org

Shoreline workshop June 13

Packing? Moving?

By Renee Larr • news@geistcurrent.com On June 13 at 9 a.m. the Hamilton County Soil & Water Conservation county District in conjunction with the Hamilton County Urban Conservation Association, Hoosier Aquatic Management and the Indiana Native Plant and Wildflower Society will present a workshop called “Shoreline Enhancement Workshop” at Ridgefield Subdivision in Fishers. “I work with a lot of property owners and individual land owners in the county making recommendations for conservation and improving their properties. Quite often that is for ponds and detention ponds. We have over 1,000 in the county so we stay pretty busy,” said Claire Lane, backyard conservation coordinator for HCSWCD. Many of these ponds in Hamilton County can be problematic for homeowners due to issues such as erosion, algae blooms, Canadian Geese infestations and high maintenance costs. In order to help residents better understand the treatments available, the HCSWCD has partnered with Dan McCord, a resident of Ridgefield Subdivision. A variety of treatments will be discussed.

Residents can add native flowers and grasses along the banks to help stabilize shoreline. “These native plants have root systems that go down anywhere from four to 12 feet in the ground so they really stabilize the soil so it doesn’t erode at the bank,” said Lane. The native plants serve two purposes – to help with erosion and keep geese away. The geese can’t see predators through the foliage so they won’t walk up onto the grass. The workshop is free to attend and attendees can pre-register by contacting Dan McCord at dan.mccord@comcast.net or Claire Lane at claire.lane@hamiltoncounty.in.gov.

Russian fest

Jenny Perelmuter and Stacy Klauz, both of Carmel, sold food tickets and mingled with old alumni from the school. (Photos by Amy Pauszek) "Where’s Amy?" could not resist accepting the invitation to attend The Russian Festival at University High School in Carmel. I was greeted by co-founder of the Russian -American Culture Center's Natalia Rekhter who took me on a wonderful tour of the campus. The school’s mission is to expand students’ horizons, develop long-term friendships and build global community. The well-attended festival held up to its claim that the day would be fun for the whole family. Ethnic food, arts and crafts by Russian artisans, Russian music, ballet, folk dance and activities for all ages were jammed packed through out the day. One highlight for me was watching a wonderful documentary on Russia then topping it off with a few cartoons ALL in Russian. Make plans to attend this event next year … it was fantastic.

Nicole Dettmer, Carmel, and friend Natalie Cruse of Fishers showed off their talents from Rhythmic Gymnastics of Indiana.

Children’s Choir teacher Michael Voskoboynik of Carmel plays the accordion and keeps the festival rocking with his magical tunes. I especially enjoyed his light show of bursting colors.

Carmel Residents Phillip Schoffstall and his son O.Phillip Schoffstall attended the Russian Festival because they wanted to learn more about the traditions. (Yes, Those are Bagels around O.Phillip's neck!)

Do it Yourself videos make challenging projects look so easy. But finances whether it’s a home improvement project or retirement planning, things are rarely as simple as they initially appear. The nice thing about home remodeling is you can check projects off your list. You can also note any imperfections like paint that’s a shade too dark and decide whether to live with the color or re-do the project to your satisfaction. But ask yourself this question: How do you notice a “mistake” on your 401k? Is it based on returns relative to a specific benchmark? Do your asset allocations “clash” with events occurring in the financial world? Unlike a home improvement project, you can’t put a 401k on hold until you get around to resolving the problem. Nor can you “fix” it once and walk away. Investing is an ongoing process that requires regular monitoring along the way to retirement. An article in USA Today reported that 63 percent of workers with 401ks manage their own investments. But Fidelity Investments found in a data analysis of 13 million participants across

the country that 54 percent of such folks are not taking an active role in managing their 401k. That is much scarier than any home remodeling or decorating project gone askew! Even scarier is that most people don’t get around to implementing a process for what needs to be monitored or how to evaluate their investment management strategy. Whether it’s home decorating or another special interest, most of us are passionate about our hobbies and so we invest time and money in these areas. In contrast, many individuals don’t pay enough attention to their finances because they don’t have a process in place for managing their accounts. Sure, they care about their investments, but they just haven’t “gotten around” to monitoring and managing these assets. To read the full column, visit geistcurrent. com.

Accounting to Oncology June 9, 2015

Geist resident Fuad Hammoudeh has worked for the last three years as the St.Vincent Cancer cover story Care executive director. Hammoudeh has worked in healthcare for more than 30 years, but got into the field by accident. “I was graduating with a degree in accounting. Someone told me the hospital was hiring an accountant and they asked me if I would be interested. That’s how I started. I would have never expected hospitals to hire accountants at that time,” said Hammoudeh. He quickly progressed through the ranks to become a business office manager, controller, assistant administrator and hospital president and chief executive officer. “In 1994, I was the president and CEO at Hancock Regional Hospital in Greenfield. An opportunity came to me to work for a national company that did practice management for oncology practices. I thought at that time it was a good direction for me to take. I had not worked as much on the physician side as I had on the hospital side. So, I took the opportunity and started focusing on oncology,” Hammoudeh said. Hammoudeh went on from HRH to work at the University of Tennessee Cancer Institute, IU Health and Indiana University School of Medicine before landing at SVCC. “My responsibilities include all the strategy development, program development, physician relations, quality for the cancer program that includes radiation oncology, medical oncology, clinical research, survivorship and in-patient areas, as well,” said Hammoudeh. In addition to his day-to-day duties Hammoudeh finds time to help raise funding for SVCC patients. “Our mission at St.Vincent is to treat all patients and with special emphasis on the poor and vulnerable. We do

Financial analyst flourishes in hospital scene, moves on to oncology

everything we can in order to find ways to help patients that cannot afford treatment or do not have access to the care they need especially when it comes to cancer. We have been very blessed at St.Vincent with a great foundation that assists in fundraising that can help us create programs or assist us in buying needed equipment so that we can serve our entire community,” said Hammoudeh. Each year the SVCC holds a cancer run/walk in Zionsville. The hope is to raise funds to not only offer cutting-edge treatment options but to help treat the mind and spirit. SVCC focuses on treating cancer patients before, during and after their battle. This year’s run/walk is September 9 in Zionsville and participants can choose between a 5K and 10K. The 5K registration fee is $30 and the 10K registration is $40. “The experience our patients get and how we treat them and support them as well as their loved ones during their journey is so important,” Hammoudeh said. In his spare time, Hammoudeh likes to spend time with his wife of 43 years, Jan, and his family which includes his son, Ryan, his daughter-in-law, Jamie, his daughter, Emily and grandson, Caleb along with the family rescue Labrador, Frannie. For eight-anda-half years,

Hammoudeh and his family cared for his mother-in-law who was struggling with Alzheimer’s. “After she passed away in May of 2013 we waited a while before we felt ready to take on a dog. God sent us Frannie at the right time,” Hammoudeh said. Hammoudeh loves living in the Geist area and feels it’s a community on the rise with the addition of walking paths. “I like living in Fishers because it’s friendly and growing and meeting the needs of the community,” Hammoudeh said. Working in oncology can sometimes be an arduous task, but Hammoudeh tries to see the positive side. “You can’t help but feel that you wish you could cure cancer and there comes a time when patients don’t have to suffer through it, but unfortunately we’re not there yet. So, in the meantime we do the best we can to accommodate and meet their needs,” Hammoudeh said.

Meet FUAD HAMMOUDAH: Age: 65 Family: Jan, wife, and kids Ryan, 39 and Emily, 36. Favorite thing about living in Fishers?

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

It’s high time to shutter IRS We’re sure you’ve heard about the latest fail at the IRS. It was recently reported tax return information for “about 104,000” taxpayers was illegally accessed by computer hackers overseas. The stolen information was used to submit fraudulent returns and, as a result, “about $50 million” in refunds were issued. This, of course, is on top of the recent scandal wherein the IRS was caught targeting conservative organizations. We taxpayers finally need to say, “Enough, already.

An idea, well-conceived

Commentary by Terry Anker

Our eldest son capped a successful first year of college with a class trip to the seeming birthplace of democracy, Athens, Greece. As a student in Indiana University’s Civic Leaders program, it related sufficiently enough to “actual” study to make the expenditure worthwhile. In spite of a lurking suspicion that he’d found a loophole that provided an oh-so-perfect excuse for an island junket, his mother and I were impressed by the reading list and occasional photo from important historical sites. Certainly, there are other pictures of young adults being young adults – let’s call those historic sights – but, we are content that the time and money was well spent. As luck and an understanding spouse would have it, I found myself enticed to participate in a program at a nearby Aegean pied-a-terre a few days antecedent to our son’s scheduled return to the U.S. The gap after the Memorial Day conference and my retrieving our progeny allowed for a

short tour of the Peloponnesian isthmus. Populated since pre-history, our present understanding comes from Paul’s letters in the New Testament to the locals of Corinth, or perhaps to the Olympics foundations in Olympia, or maybe to the Hollywood film “300” and its spawn which follows the legendary tale of the Spartans. With each vista more impressive than the last and with each ruin more awe-inspiring than another, one wonders what will remain of us in more than 3,000 years. Would city leaders be pleased in how they are memorialized? Are we destined to be remembered by empty tombs, ancient vandals and fragments of broken marble? If not a statue of stone, then can an idea, well-conceived, hope for immortality? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may e-mail him at terry@currentinfishers.com.

I’ve just left my youngest child’s recognition ceremony, though as my husband Doo likes to point out in his Mr. Incredible voice, “It’s not a graduation. She’s humor moving from fifth to sixth grade!” Regardless, the Wilson family is now officially done with elementary school and I couldn’t be happier. Of course tears threatened a few times. When you see your baby at the podium recalling her fondest memories of kindergarten in front of a few hundred people, and she speaks with poise and confidence and just the right amount of humor, you can’t help but feel proud and slightly sentimental. I sat amidst parents and teachers whom I’ve gotten to know over the last eleven years, and I realized this might be the last time I see them. And if I’m perfectly honest, I’m not quite ready to replace field days, science fairs, and movie nights with field trips to D.C. and scientific dissections of pigs and, gulp, date nights. Graduation ceremonies inherently emphasize your child’s growth, and force you to take stock of how far she’s come. I can easily remember Maddie’s first day of school and how my neighbors and I congratulated ourselves with a mimosa cocktail that morning. Today, after I put my dancin’ queen on the bus for her last day, I had a single moment of melancholy and then jumped into the air for an Irish feet clapping. “Job well done!” I thought. So though part of me will miss the innocence of elementary school, I mostly feel relieved that we can finally close this chapter of our lives. Not that I’m particularly anxious for another teenage girl in the house; her older sister is providing enough hormones, sass and eye rolls for the both of them and I haven’t yet developed a strategy for hiding all of my clothes, shoes, make-up and accessories. And Lord help us when we have four drivers; one has aged me easily 10 years. [Yes, I now look forty!] But despite what Doo thinks, graduating from elementary school is a big deal, and I for one am celebrating. Peace out.

Gifts you shouldn’t give

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

This is part two of my highlights of the newest Hammacher Schlemmer gift catalog. Just in time for Father’s Day, it includes some items that might make dad wish you’d gotten him a tie. Insect Blunderbuss: This is humor a rifle-type weapon that when loaded with salt can be used like a shotgun to pulverize flying insects. It offers a great lesson to pests about the dangers of a high sodium diet. The Selfie Toaster: Here›s how it works. You upload a photo of yourself to the manufacturer and they send you a customized heating insert that imbeds your likeness onto the toasted bread. Many women returned the item, claiming they looked old and wrinkled, so now the company is recommending against using English muffins. Un-kinkable Hose: The maker claims this hose cannot tangle. HS prides itself on being a family magazine, so this product is rated as the least kinky gift in the entire catalog. The most kinky? Probably the plantar fasciitis high heel shoes. The Dental Hygiene System: This toothbrush has an accelerometer and a magnetom-

eter embedded in the handle, which sounds to me like something you shouldn’t put in your mouth after running it under water. Download the app to your cellular device and you can see graphs and charts showing how successful your tooth-brushing has been. And you can monitor the kids’ progress, as well. Friends might ask you, “Do you have a photo of your grandson on your phone?” “No, but take a look at his plaque report.” Rechargeable Personal Air Purifier: The device hangs around your neck and eliminates airborne germs in your personal space. It’s not clear whether it’s your germs or someone else›s they’re worried about. The gadget emits two million negative ions a second, which doesn’t sound like the ideal way to make new friends and meet new people. That’s the Father’s Day edition of the Hammacher Schlemmer catalog. Stay tuned for the 2015 Christmas edition, out in just two weeks. For a longer version of this story, visit www.geistcurrent.com.

Get wild at Indy’s Zoobilation By Maddie Yerant • news@geistcurrent.com

Stilt walkers at last year’s Zoobilation. (Submitted photo by Brian Diehl)

June 13 will be a wild night for the Indianapolis Zoo – well, even more wild than the usual wild animals make it. That’s the Friday of the Indianapolis diversion Zoo Zoobilation, an annual event bringing together humans, animals and central Indiana businesses for one night of food and fanfare from 5:30 p.m. to midnight. “It’s grown into a party,” said Zoobilation co-chair Ellen Coen. According to Ellen, Zoobilation began at the house of Indianapolis real estate magnate Herb Simon in the 1980’s. It has since become a sizable fundraiser and event, with live music and more than 70 restaurants and vendors in attendance – all on the grounds of the Indianapolis Zoo. Each year, Zoobilation celebrates a different exhibit, whether new, returning or enhanced, according to Larry Coen, Zoobilation co-chair. This year, the zoo’s returning koalas are center-stage; the sold-out event even has an Australian theme. “We’re expecting a big crowd, shoulder-to-shoulder attendance where 5,000 people are packed into relatively small areas, if you think about the pathways that we use at the zoo,” Larry said. “So it’s a really great party atmosphere.” More than 70 restaurants and bars across central Indiana will join in the fun, donating their food and services to the night, including Matt the Miller’s and Langton’s Irish Pub in Carmel, and Stone Creek in Zionsville, according to Larry. These businesses will offer their fare not only to guests, but also to a panel of judges, who will select winners in different categories. Last year’s dessert winner, Stone Creek, will be bringing back an old favorite, according to marketing manager Mallory Doyel. “It is our golden raisin and cranberry bread pudding,” Doyel said. “We’ve been serving it for years now, and it’s kind of a crowd favorite. So every year, people kind of come up to our booth, hoping we’ll have it, and they get excited when we do.” According to general manager Chris Parker, Matt the Miller’s will be serving shrimp and grits, while Langton’s will be serving cottage pie and seafood chowder. Parker said the event is great both for the zoo and participating businesses. “We’re located in Carmel, and doing events outside Carmel and Hamilton County are beneficial just to reach people that might not know we exist, or where we’re located, or have ever heard of us before,” Parker said. “It’s probably the biggest fundraising event in the city every year, from what I gather.” For more information, visit the Indianapolis Zoo website at indianapoliszoo.com/events-and-groups/zoo-events/ zoobilation.

Noblesville youth finds friends in Neverland news@geistcurrent.com For Colin McCabe, performing isn’t as much about the spotlight as it is about the time spent with his theater cast mates – both on and off the stage. The third-grader at Our Lady of Grace in Noblesville is making his Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre debut as Dweasle, a Lost Boy in “Peter Pan.” “I wanted to do ‘Peter Pan’ because it would be a great acting experience for me, and I could make new Colin McCabe as friends,” McCabe said. “I like Dweasle, a Lost Boy in performing because I get to “Peter Pan.” (Submitted photo) make new friends.” By now, even at 9-years old, he should have plenty of them. The family musical at Beef & Boards brings the total of productions listed on his resume to 10. Performing since he was a 4-year-old, he’s been seen in shows at The Artist Studio, Civic Theatre and Theatre on the Square, to name a few. Of course, each has its challenge. “The hardest part is remembering all the lines,” McCabe said. Still, it’s all about the friendships he’ll take with him long after the curtain goes down. “My favorite thing about ‘Peter Pan’ are my friends,” he said. “I get to hang out with them on breaks.” While he’s been developing his acting chops most of his life, he also has another potential career in mind. “I have wanted to be a scientist since I got my first science kit in preschool,” McCabe said. “But I love to act, too. So I don’t know yet!” “Peter Pan,” the high-flying Tony Award-winning musical featuring the iconic songs “I’m Flying, “I’ve Gotta Crow,” “Never Never Land” and “I Won’t Grow Up,” is on stage through July 3 in the intimate space of Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre.

The Fishers On TapSummer event, which is a fundraiser presented by the Fishers Rotary Club, will take place Saturday, June 13th from 4 to 8 p.m. at the City of Fishers Amphitheater. Event proceeds are given back to local service agencies and support organizations to help local youth and their families. Nineteen local craft brewers will be at this event, including Sun King, Tow Yard, Outliers and several others. Harmony Wine will provide wine for the non-beer crowd.

Tune up to avoid health crashes Commentary by Stephanie Cohen Men, do you ever check under the hood of your car? It’s how you protect your investment, extend your men’s health vehicle’s life and performance and avoid crashes. But when it comes to checking under your own hood, your health, that is where many come up short. Beyond the usual risk factors of obesity, smoking, high cholesterol and diabetes – there’s the dreaded hazard no one likes to talk about and happens to be my specialty: cancer. The top three cancers in men are lung, prostate and colon cancers. Lung cancer has a strong environmental component: smoking. The other two often hinge on genetics. Having multiple relatives with cancer or one relative with multiple cancers are red flags. Fear often keeps men from uncovering their risks. Many think that if they feel fine, it’s best to not look for trouble. What they may not realize is that finding something early may make a big difference in the stage when cancer is identified, and, ultimately, survival. With colon cancer, for instance, you can remove a growth and stop cancer from happening. Others are concerned about the cost of

There will also be the chance to test drive a Tesla Model S and meet an Indiana Pacers player. For risks with a strong genetic influence (like cancer), my advice is simple: Have regular health screenings, learn your family history and share it with your physician. Stephanie Cohen, MS, LCGC, is genetic counselor at St.Vincent. For more information on genetic counseling, health screenings and the St.Vincent Men’s Health TuneUp visit stvincent.org/fishers.

Firm wins national competition after five months in business

By Michelle Williams • news@currentinfishers.com

In business for only five months, one Indianapolis-based firm is making big waves in the national archiachievement tecture scene. DELV Design recently won the 2015 Architecture Business Plan Competition, put on by Charrette Venture Group. The firm’s partners are Cara Weber and Chris Lake of Zionsville and Amanda and Jeremy Welu of Fishers. The team presented its business plan to a panel of judges on May 13 in Atlanta preceding the American Institute of Architects’ national convention. The firm took home a prize of $10,000 that they plan to use to accelerate the execution of their business plan. “It felt really good to win the competition, and it was a lot of fun to push ourselves harder than we would have to craft a really good business plan at this early stage,” Weber said. “The benefits of doing it would have been realized whether we won or not just from having focused on our business plan at this stage in the company.”

DELV Design partners Amanda Welu, from left, Jeremy Welu, Cara Weber and Chris Lake accept a $10,000 prize from Matt Ostanik of the Charrette Venture Group for winning the 2015 Architecture Business Plan Competition. (Submitted photo)

“The judges were shocked by how new we are,” Amanda Welu said. “They were really impressed with the way the plan was put together. The format and look of it made it feel like we have been around a lot longer than we have.” DELV Design strategically focuses on delivering technology solutions that many small firms struggle to implement. This innovative technology foundation strengthens the firm’s capabilities in architecture, interior design and branding services.

‘Lead’ and ‘led’ Commentary by Jordan Fischer Question: “Dear Jordan, I look forward to your column in The Southside Times every week. I especially enjoy grammar guy your sense of humor and the fact that you don’t take grammar too seriously. Please do address the difference between the homonyms ‘lead’ and ‘led.’ They are used incorrectly more and more often, as you did in your May 7 - 13 column. You are so rarely, if ever, inaccurate, I forgive you!” – (Petra Ritchie) Answer: You know, I put those mistakes in my columns just so clever readers like you will catch them and give me more fodder to write about. (No, not really. Great catch, Petra!) The mistake at hand here is mixing up the proper past tense of the verb “lead” – meaning to guide, especially by going in advance – with the element lead (which, incidentally, has the best Latin name: plumbum). Homemade fire starters –Make your own fire starters using cotton balls and petroleum jelly. Put a scoop of pure petroleum jelly into a Ziploc bag. Add a few cotton balls and knead them into the jelly. Be sure not to completely saturate the cotton as you will need a few dry fibers to light. Take one out, expose the dry fibers and light it. Source: Ramblinjim.com Free fertilizers – Some of the best fertilizers are all natural – and free. Simply grind up some of the food scraps listed below and work into the soil around your plants once a week. 1. Carrot peels 2. Citrus rinds 3. Coffee grounds 4. Onion peels 5. Potato skins 6. Banana peels 7. Egg shells Source: Naturalon.com

“Lead” is an irregular verb, so its past tense isn’t “leaded,” but “led.” The trick isn’t in remembering that it’s irregular, though, but how it’s irregular, because it conjugates differently than “read,” which is spelled the same in the past tense, but pronounced differently. Unfortunately, Word’s little squiggly lines aren’t much help here, because “leaded” is a word in its own right meaning “covered, weighted with or containing lead.” Why they didn’t go with “plumbumed,” I’ll never know. So there’s no trick on this one – you’ve just got to remember that “lead” becomes “led” in the past tense. Even your friendly neighborhood Grammar Guy needs a refresher on it from time to time, though, so you can rest easy knowing we’re all in this together.

Legendary Cape of Good Hope Commentary by Don Knebel Cape Point, a UNESCO World Heritage site situated 30 miles south of Cape Town, South Africa, offers an extraordinary travel view of the famous Cape of Good Hope, which is neither the southernmost point of Africa nor the point where oceans meet. It is, however, the home of a macabre legend. In 1487, Portuguese explorer Bartholomew Diaz and his crew sailed south from Lisbon along the western coast of Africa, hoping to find a sea route to India. Diaz managed to sail east after reaching the southern coast of Africa, but his frightened sailors refused to continue. On the return trip, Diaz encountered a rocky headland jutting into the ocean that he named “The Cape of Storms” because of violent weather in the area. His patron, King John II, renamed the point the “Cape of Good Hope” because it proved sailing to India was feasible. The king’s optimism was justified. In 1498, Vasco de Gama “rounded the Cape of Good Hope” and continued until he reached India. The notion of “rounding the Cape” has long suggested that the Cape of Good Hope is at

the southern tip of Africa. It is not. To the east, little-known Cape Agulhas extends further south. Cape Agulhas is also where the warm currents of the Indian Ocean bump up against the cooler currents of the South Atlantic, creating turbulent weather. Cape Point tourists, having never heard of Cape Agulhas, buy T-shirts incorrectly saying they have seen “where two oceans meet.” To reach the hilltop offering the best view of the Cape of Good Hope, visitors to Cape Point ride “The Flying Dutchman,” a funicular named for a legendary Dutch ship reportedly lost off the Cape of Good Hope during a storm. According to a 17th century tale, the ship and its ghostly crew are destined to sail the oceans forever, foretelling doom to anyone catching sight of the glowing ship. After seeing the Cape of Good Hope, the adventuresome can look for 250 species of birds and several troops of baboons. They can also try to avoid spotting the Flying Dutchman.

Try a breezy screened-in porch addition this year Commentary by Larry Greene PROJECT OVERVIEW: This home, located in the Sandstone subdivision in Fishers, was built in 1997. “The deck on our house did not provide a true outblueprint for door living experience. We wanted to add a improvement screened porch that gave the feeling of being outside without the nuisance of intense sun and pesky bugs.” DESIGN CHALLENGES: “We started with the intent of placing the new porch off the back of the house and we wanted it big enough to fit all six grandchildren.” Due to building setback regulations and roofline complications, the new porch would not fit off the back of the house. The south side of the house was found to be the best option. INTERIOR FINISH: Once the foundation and structural framing was complete, pressure treated deck boards were installed. To create improved access in-and-out of the house, the existing window left of the fireplace was converted to fit a new exterior glass door. EZE-Breeze windows were chosen due to their ability to open three of the four lightweight, vinyl-glazed panels to create an

RESULT: “The new porch actually allows us to enjoy our backyard now. We use it to entertain, watch TV, read books and relax. We especially love enjoying it at nighttime.”

A G A L A C E L E BR AT IO N

IN T HE M A K ING outdoors feel. The bead board ceiling and cedar trim throughout the interior of the porch was painted to match the existing house trim color. EXTERIOR FINISH: Skirting was added to conceal the exposed bottom portion of the deck. Hardie exterior panels and cedar trim was installed throughout the perimeter of the porch to tie in with the existing house. Shingles and aluminum gutters matching the profile and size of the existing were installed. The exterior was then painted to complete the final look.

ARCHITECTURAL DETAILS: To create a unique and custom look, a bump-out with a bay window was incorporated into the design of the porch. Sconce lighting and a ceiling fan on a dimmable switch were installed to add function and elegance to the new 350 SF porch.
