A Smart, Vibrant and Entrepreneurial city. That’s the vision members of Fishers city hall focused on Aug. 3 during a special city council meeting. The goal of the meeting was to government prepare for the city’s upcoming comprehensive plan that will effect the direction of the community. Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness, Assistant Director of Planning Rachel Johnson and Fishers Deputy Mayor Leah McGrath headed the meeting, and the trio presented members with an outline of what the plan would look like, what were the main focal points of the plan and its delivery over the next several months. “I think this is going to be a journey for all of us and we are going to learn a lot about our community,” Fadness said. The outline of the comprehensive plan was bro-

ken down into four main subgroup plans including a transportation plan, a parks and recreation plan, a residential plan and a land-use plan. The plan will be headed by a steering committee that will be broken up to focus on the four main subgroups. In addition, a small areas group will focus on four small, target areas within the city. Mayor Fadness will head the committee with members from the city council and other city officials making up the remainder of the committee. Officials at the meeting emphasized the importance of community feedback for the plan and its vision. “I think that puts us in a unique position to spend, not a lot of time on what we are wanting to be or where we are wanting to go in this broader vision, but really spend time talking to our residents about if we want to be an entrepreneurial city,” Fadness said.

Mt. Vernon advanced placement courses show success By James Feichtner • james@youareucurrent.com Advanced Placement courses are among the most challenging courses a high-school student can take. Four of these courses at Mt. Vernon High School can stake schools the claim of having an entire classroom of success with all students passing their AP exam. All students in Studio Art: 3-D Design Portfolio, Studio Art: 2-D Design Portfolio, Computer Science A and Spanish Language and Culture received a passing score of three, four or five to Campbell achieve college credit. Mt. Vernon High School requires all AP students to take the AP exam, which is not a common requirement. Many high schools offer the AP test opportunity, but do not require taking the exam. This frequently can help the school’s passing percentage with only the more excelled students taking the exam to receive college credit.

“Mt. Vernon had nearly 400 AP exams from 241 students, which is the largest amount of annual exams to date,” MVHS Principal Bernie Campbell said. “I am extremely proud of the classes that can acclaim 100 percent passing and the quality of post-secondary opportunities Mt. Vernon provides.” Of the four classes, the Spanish AP course had the most students with 17. Studio Art 2-D and 3-D had two and four students respectively, and Computer Science A had one student. Patricia Laughlin teaches Spanish AP as well as Spanish III, and shared that the Spanish department vertically teaches the curriculum through the four progressive courses to prepare them to be successful in the AP course. “It is great we offer this program so students can make friends from another culture and develop relationships, as well as aid in translation,” Laughlin said. “This success is a gain for the whole department.” For more info on Mt.

Huntzinger designed and helped build Champion Lake in McCordsville in 1989. He said he built it specifically for water skiing because he loved the sport, and that attracted families with an interest in the sport. Three current record holders who grew up on the lake started skiing there: Nate Smith, Cale Burdick and Amanda Burney. Smith is the world champion in slalom skiing while Burdick ranks eighth in slalom. Burney is a national champion and a state record holder. “It took a while to truly be ‘Champion Lake,’” Huntzinger said, who set the state overall record in water skiing in 1997. “It’s been a phenomenal part of my life.”

Huntzinger said that Smith, Burdick and Burney practiced on the lake as children, and that he watched them improve. “I wasn’t their mentor, but I was definitely their friend,” Huntzinger said. “I got to see Nate ski for his first time when he was four years old.” Huntzinger skied professionally from 1984 to 2005 where he competed in all three events: Slalom, Jump and Trick. He retired due to a hip injury, but he said he still skis every day from his home on Geist reservoir, or from Champion Lake.

Thompson salutes grandfather with Honor Flight

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

The World War II Memorial opened seven years after Grant Thompson’s grandfather died in 1997. veterans His grandfather, Bill Pace, a Marine who received a Purple Heart for wounds, fought in the Battle of Iwo Jima. “My grandfather couldn’t go so I wanted to get closure and take somebody else,” Thompson said. So Thompson took his wife’s great uncle, Marvin Mason, who fought at the Battle of the Bulge, to the WWII Memorial in Washington, D.C., in 2009. Thompson was so moved and believed other WWII vets should experience it and soon after started Indy Honor Flight. “Now we take them 178 vets at a time so it snowballed into something real big, real quick,” Thompson said. Indy Honor Flight is part of the National Honor Flight Network. The next Indy Honor Flight is on Sept. 5, which has been filled, and will include several vets from Hamilton County and Zionsville. Thompson said most will be WWII vets on

the trip along with 10 to 20 Korean War vets. “We feel a sense of urgency to get this mission. These (WWII vets) average is 90 so we’re trying everything we can do to get them there quickly as possible while still remaining very safe,” Thompson said. There will be another Indy Honor Flight on Oct. 31 with two more planes. That trip is called the Fireman’s Flight. Thompson said many firefighters and police officers from around the area serve as the majority of the guardians for those flights.

Night at the Barre “Where’s Amy?” … I had the honor of attending “A Night At The Barre” gala and special VIP reception with the Indiana Ballet Conservatory at the Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre. I took my mom with me as a guest and our night was too fun watching students from around the world representing the IBC and featured guest artists Irina Dvorovenko and Maxim Beloserkovsky - former principle dancers of American Ballet Theatre. The gala also had a magnificent silent auction that included fabulous gifts, memberships and handmade bright orange ballerina slippers autographed by featured artists. The IBA strives to share the art of dance through performance and outreach programs for underserved youth and the elderly by bringing arts and education to public schools and to those with special needs through targeted workshops. Please consider keeping their mission strong by visiting www.IndianaBalletConservatory. org/donate.

“Where’s Amy?” had the rare opportunity to snag a photo of Irina Dvorovenko warming up before the show. Dvorovenko has been on “So You Think You Can Dance” as a guest judge, joined the leading cast of Starz network new original television drama “Flesh and Bonel” (which will air on Nov. 8), and is a former principle dancer with the American Ballet Theater in New York City. What a treat to see Irina Dvorovenko perform “Swan Lake” live on the Tarkington stage. (Photos by Amy Pauszek)

McAvoy, middle, at the start of stage four of the race.

Lawrence resident McAvoy survives Gobi challenge By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com “Every dreamer knows that it is entirely possible to be homesick for place you’ve never been to…” - Judith Thurman It’s a quote that David McAvoy embraces and lives by. As a youngster, McAvoy wrote to Edmund Hillary, who joined Tenzing Norgay as the first climbers to reach the Mount Everest summit, and to Britcover story ish Army officer John Hunt, who led that 1953 expedition to Everest. Hunt responded with a letter to McAvoy, offering tips if he ever tried to climb Everest. McAvoy, an attorney for emerging markets for Eli Lilly, didn’t actually starting climbing mountains until his late 30s when encouraged by a colleague. Now 53, the Lawrence Township resident is completely hooked on adventures, both climbing and as an ultra marathoner. “We don’t do it to summit the mountain or cross the finish line,” McAvoy said. “We do them because they are journeys. I want to do sports as an explorer. I’m into going from A to Z and what it means to do that and what you find out about yourself.” McAvoy has completed three of the Seven Summits, the highest mountains of each of the seven continents, completing Denali (Mount McKinley), Mount Vinson and Mount Elbrus. While recuperating from a nerve injury in his right shoulder, McAvoy learned about the 4 Deserts races. He first planned to pursue the Sahara in Jordan in March, but that was canceled because of ISIS activity. So he competed in the seven-day Gobi Desert race (in Asia) in June. “It was the most extreme weather that they had seen in the Gobi Desert in 19 years of doing this,” McAvoy said. Gobi is the windiest desert in the world with constant 30 mph winds and the greatest temperature fluctuation of

any desert. The temperatures ranged from below freezing to a high of 127 degrees. “We saw a blizzard in the desert,” McAvoy said. “We saw hail, sleet, driving horizontal rain, blistering heat. Then the capstone was a biblical sandstorm of immense proportions. That caused them to actually have to cancel the very last stage which they have never done before. It was the knockout punch by the Gobi.” McAvoy prides himself as a hot-weather runner so the blazing heat didn’t affect him at first. “But the Gobi had a trick up its sleeve with me,” McAvoy said. As McAvoy ran into the sun, the high temperatures boiled his water. “In order to hydrate and survive the Gobi desert, you have to drink eight to 12 ounces every 15 minutes,” McAvoy said. “If you don’t do that you are going to get heat stroke and you could certainly die. I’m drinking the water and it’s scalding my throat.” One bottle had water and the other had Nuun tablets in it that dissolve and releases electrolytes. The heat made it sickly sweet. So McAvoy didn’t realize the 15-minute gaps were becoming 30-minute gaps. “Then I’m not drinking eight ounces because I can barely get it down,” McAvoy said. “I’m like getting delirious and seeing Ethel Merman sing ‘God Bless America’ in the desert. And that’s a problem because I know she’s not there. I know if I can’t get protein and more liquids in me, no matter how strong-willed I am, and I was willing enough to crawl on bloody arms and feet, this can take me out.” As McAvoy stumbled into the check point, a veteran runner gave him a tip to mix packets of evaporated milk and chocolate powder in the water. McAvoy was finally able to get the water down and was back to running. Disaster averted.

Ultimate mission There are less than 150 people who have completed the 4 Deserts. Only one person, a Canadian, has completed both the 4 Deserts and Seven Summits. “But if I could do it, I would be the oldest and only American,” McAvoy said. “I would then take it up a notch and add Death Valley. That would put me in even more rarified territory.” Slowing McAvoy down is the fact he does not want to attempt to summit Mount Everest until his three children have concluded college. He and wife Karen have three children, Aly, 21, Ryan, 17 and Kyle, 14. “First it’s extremely expensive and it takes six weeks to do so I would have take a leave of absence (for part of it),” McAvoy said. McAvoy said morally it would be wrong to take a chance of getting killed in his prime earning years while the kids are in college. “So that would put me (at Mount Everest) in my early 60s, it’s been done before but never very often,” McAvoy said. But don’t count him out.

Diagnosis? Aging

Hers to lose

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

As the polling for presidential candidates on both sides of the aisle continues, it’s interesting, but not alarming, to note the slippage Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) is experiencing in certain sectors. For instance, one poll last week had her in a “statistical tie” with Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.), but that was for New Hampshire, the state bordering Sanders’ home turf; she won New Hampshire in 2008. Clinton’s national lead amongst Democrats was shown to be shrinking, but we see that as a function of the field being crowded (although not as irresponsibly congested as the Republicans’ freak show), and her lead was 51-22 over Sanders, whereas she was at 59 percent the week prior. Most interesting, is that she is losing her grip on the female voter, apparently over a lack of trustworthiness. The Wall Street Journal reported last week that 53 percent of white women have a negative opinion of Clinton. Consider this, too: If Vice President Joe Biden announces and gains President Barack Obama’s endorsement, and his fundraising and organizational machine, he would be a formidable candidate, as we see it. That’s what we believe Obama ultimately wants, an endorsement of his time in the White House, and it would amount to just that. Although it won’t be a cakewalk by any stretch, we still see Clinton superseding all the opponents. And at that point, we shall haul out our Hillary Voodoo Doll. ••• Nearly six dozen watchdog agencies are telling Congress to rise up against Obama’s camp clamping down on access to government records. The remonstrators claim the docs are vital for their investigations into waste, fraud and abuse. Understand this: There is yet another executive order coming.

Hand over the keys Commentary by Terry Anker As we zoom past middle-age, our adaptability to new technologies tends to wane. In my lifetime, music formats have transformed from 45 RPM records bought at the 5 & Dime to 8-tracks to cassettes to compact disks to digital files (like MP3’s, WAV’s, and more formats than the uninitiated can count) and finally, to internet streaming to God only knows what is next. Many of us decide to get off the technology train entirely and come full-circle back to vinyl. Most can boast a minimal proficiency in every format. In my own home, one might come across an 8-track tape by the 70s rock band Boston, however, it is more than a feeling that upgrading all of these albums once again is considerably less than appealing. While most of us eventually adapt, one wonders what, if anything, has been lost along the way. In our own immediate family, we tend to buy cars and keep them for a decade or

more. We maintain them along the way but work to get every dollar out of the asset. So, technology can make quite a jump from purchase to purchase. When renting a car on a business trip this month, the attendant at the agency was wholly amused by my working to operate the keyless-start. How can an automobile be an automobile without a key? Have we returned to the Model T with no lock and a crank start? Maybe. But, is the key really required? Or, has it become a talisman wherein its magic springs only from our imagined need of it? Keyless may be a better way. One wonders where else we should hand over the keys. So much of life is driven by our need for the familiar. This resistance may prevent our discovery of a better, freer life. Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may e-mail him at terry@geistcurrent.com.

First up, the endocrinologist, who monitors my stupid malfunctioning thyroid gland. Normally we have a nice chat, catch up on our kids, and then she sends in her henchman to draw my blood. But this year, because I offhandedly mentioned I’ve been simultaneously having hot flashes and gaining weight, two conflicting symptoms in the world of glandular disease, she launched into all the wonderful experiences that await me as menopause approaches. Noooo! I don’t want to keep my house set at 59 degrees year round to combat night sweats, nor do I care to pack on midsection pounds despite a diet of iceberg lettuce. She couldn’t even offer advice. “Oh it’s gonna happen,” was her comment. Good times. Straight from her I headed over to the breast center for the dreaded mammogram. And lucky for me, they’d purchased new machines, which twist and squeeze even more intensely than the old ones. Afterwards, I caught a glimpse of my topless self in the dressing room mirror: I looked like I’d been hit multiple times with a two-by-four. Bright red areas marred my pale, ginger-day-walker skin, indicating the exact places where I’d been mauled. Turns out, big girls do cry! Finally, I saw the dermatologist to have her check a spot that keeps returning despite two uncomfortable freezes with liquid nitrogen. Her best guess? Either pre or actual cancer. Not melanoma, she assured me, but she did go ahead and biopsy it. I’m currently awaiting the pathology report while sporting two stitches and a fat, bruised bottom lip. (But you should see the other guy!) Seriously though, this aging process is rough, and I still have the ob/gyn and dentist on the calendar. I’m really starting to hate annual check-ups! Peace out.

Next stop: Bathroom? Commentary by Dick Wolfsie “Mary Ellen, where do we keep the soup spoons? Did you move the instant coffee? Where are the salad bowls?” humor I have been asking my wife this kind of stuff for 25 years. Now that we’ve had the kitchen renovated, I have more questions: “What’s a convection oven? Where did they hide the dishwasher? Where can I tape my “New Yorker” cartoons?” So that the space in our new refrigerator is maximized, Mary Ellen explained the three food groups. “Dick, there are items we both eat like milk and cheese, and there are foods only I enjoy like broccoli and spinach. Then, there is stuff only you like: salami, Bud Lite, hot salsa, leftover KFC, and the elephant ears from the State Fair you froze last summer. The first two food groups go in the new fridge; the rest goes into our old unit.” (now banished to the basement). “I love my new kitchen,” she said to me last night. “Wait a second – you don’t call it your house. Why is it your kitchen?” “Well, I worked with the designers all spring while you played golf, and this week, without

your help, I put everything back in the new cabinets. And I’ll be doing all the cooking for the rest of our lives while you are downstairs playing Words with Friends.” “Okay, so it’s your kitchen. What can I do to help?” “Please don’t print little labels that say Knives, Cereal or Can Opener, and stick them on the new cabinet doors. And if a drawer seems stuck, do not pry it open with a hammer. It’s called a false door front. And please read the directions for all the new appliances. To heat last night’s frozen pizza, you hit the 30-second button 16 times.” Next we are going to renovate my bathroom. It’s good-bye to my stained bathtub and my disgusting shower curtain. But they will look awesome in the basement storeroom next to the fridge. (Go to www.geistcurrent.com to read a full version of this column)

Indian dancer performs Aug. 15 news@geistcurrent.com

On Aug. 15, Rani Rejimon and Rejimon Varghese will host the Bharathanatyam Arangetram of their daughter, Jwala Rejimon. Bharathanatyam is a form of Indian classical dance culture that originated in the temples of Tamil Nadu. “This is her dance graduation. It’s classical Indian dance she’s been learning for about 10 years. It’s kind of a graduation but in India we call it Arangetram. This will be her grand performance. Most people do it to learn the Indian culture, values, dance forms and stories. Some people don’t do it because it’s an expensive venture so they do it in a smaller way but she has a real passion for it,” said Rejimon Varghese. The event will be held at the Zionsville Performing Arts Center beginning with a meet and greet at 4 p.m. The performance will begin at 5 p.m. followed by dinner at 8 p.m. The family is expecting around 400 guests to attend with some traveling from India for the occasion. “We have musicians coming from India. We have a singer, a violinist, a flutist and a mridangist. Indian Carnatic music field Sri.V V Sundaram is the chief guest and the pioneer Bharatanatyam dance guru of USA Smt.Hema Rajagopalan is the guest of honor for the occasion. We also have Sri. K P Singh, distinguished artist as the guest of honor for the event,” said Rejimon Varghese. The performance itself lasts about two hours. “She’ll have about nine different dances in the performance. One dance is 46 minutes. She will continuously dance for the 46 minutes. It’s testing her endurance, expressions and techniques,” said Rejimon Varghese. Guests should RSVP. Although the event is free to attend, proceeds will go to Indiana Malayalee Association, Tamil Sangam of Central Indiana, Hindu Temple of Central Indiana and NRIscholarships.org.

CIAF to feature local artists Commentary by the committee for the Carmel International Arts Festival The 18th Annual Carmel Entertainment always provides festival-goers with beautifully crafted art and this year is better than ever. There will be many returning artists but more than 60 festival of our artists are new. Cliff Matyszczyk and his 3-D metal sculptures are created by cutting, bending, welding and chiseling steel, copper and stone. He started out as a welder/steelworker and as an artist began with functional pieces before moving into contemporary art. Carol Bell resides in Noblesville and is popular artist who specializes in Ikebana Flower Vases, Tea Love Pocket Mugs, Horse Hair Pottery and Frames Quilts. Her work is nature inspired, functional, and is created to joy to everyday life. David Frohbeiter is a popular 2D Artist that does historically inaccurate illustrations, hand drawn with pencil, pen and ink, and colored pencils. This year’s event continues its long standing tradition of promoting “Educating Our Community In The Arts” by bringing together more than 130 juried artists displaying art media that

ranges from watercolor, glass, jewelry, photography, oil, acrylic, 3D, wood, sculpture, to pottery and metal and so much more. Our website has been updated with artist’s interviews and videos from our entertainment for you to watch and enjoy. Visit us at www.carmelartsfestival.org.

Anticipating the greatest party Commentary by Tania Castroverde Moskalenko, President/CEO The Center for the Performing Arts It gives me great pleasure to share with our community that this December the Cennew year’s eve ter for the Performing Arts will host our first New Year’s Eve Extravaganza! Since my arrival to Carmel in 2012, I have had a number of individuals asking about a New Year’s Eve celebration at the Palladium. Some of these individuals have been very vocal about the benefits of having such an event in Carmel. They have also not been shy at expressing their disappointment when, time and time again, I’ve had to explain that the timing was not right. Well, after three years of disappointing my friends, our 5th Anniversary Season is the perfect time to say yes! I am pleased to announce that we at the Palladium are now ready to ring in the New Year with 1,000 of our closest friends!

On Dec. 31 The Center for the Performing Arts will put on what promises to be the best New Year’s Eve party on the North Side. The evening will include food, cocktails, dancing, and entertainment, all at a reasonable price. Two local bands will entertain us at the pre-parties: the Bishops – a fun, party, cover band will play in the Robert Adam Room, and Flat Bed Twitch – a three piece country and rock acoustic trio will play in the Founders Room. Karaoke in the Shiel Sexton Songbook Lounge will add fun and frolic to the festivities. The Hot Sardines, “one of the best jazz bands in New York today,” (Forbes Magazine) will hit the Palladium stage at 10 p.m. and will welcome the New Year at midnight. If you haven’t made plans for Dec. 31, I sure hope you will join us. For more, visit currentnightandday.com.

He attributed his Automotive News Awards to the family-like culture he strives to portray. “We talk about treating people like family. … It’s kind of a common thing that people hear, but it’s again practicing what you preach,” he said. “It’s not a marketing slogan. It’s really a culture.” Terry Lee Hyundai in Noblesville, which opened in March, has already become the number one Hyundai dealership in the state. The $8 million facility had a planning potential to sell 400 cars per year, and Lee estimates selling from 800 to 1,000 this year. What separates Lee’s dealerships from others, however, is not price or vehicle quality. Instead, it’s the focus on customer satisfaction, a lesson he learned from mentor and late Cadillac dealer, Freda Lockhart. “I think today people love to buy, but they

A link: Vision and learning Commentary by Tammy Wittmann It’s August and every parent in Indiana is scrambling to make sure their child is ready to head back to school. Book eye care bags. Shoes. Notebooks. Band practice. Football practice. The list goes on and on. But on the top of that list should be EYE EXAM. Did you know that vision is the number one sense that affects learning and development? Does your child not particularly like to read? Do they do great on the first few math problems and fizzle out at the end of the assignment? Do they have a hard time focusing for a long period of time? Has your child been labeled as having a learning problem? If you answer “yes” to any of these questions your child may have a vision problem. Did you know that your child only gets their vision screening at school in kindergarten, fifth grade and eighth grade? A lot changes between kindergarten and fifth grade. And a screening is just a screening. There are many vision issues that are not found by reading an eye chart. There are many other issues that need to be tested in a comprehensive eye

exam with an eye doctor that tests for near and binocular vision problems. It’s important when making the appointment for your child that you ask if your doctor specifically tests for these. Not all do. Vision not only impacts learning development, but affects social, physical and emotional development as well. Once these vision problems are corrected, the doors are opened for your child to be the best they can be. Make sure your child is ready for school. Schedule their back to school eye exam before school starts. Your child will thank you later. Dr. Tammy Wittmann, O.D., practices at Wittmann 20/20 Family Eye Center at 2792 E. 146th St., Carmel.

Commentary by Randy Sorrell In a humble effort to continue celebrating our “PROJECT OF THE DECADE” we recently previewed, let’s exoutdoor living plore the individual components more in depth, starting with the lanais. SCREENS? We design / build considerably more openair porches (lanais) than we do screen porches or sunrooms. The conversation evolves from client to client. Some are horrified at the thought of mosquitos and flies buzzing around their outdoor room, but many tolerate them or simply don’t have an insect problem. Steve and Courtenay Wagner’s beautiful home, and project of the year, is gracefully nestled in an elegant, leafy neighborhood that merges into a heavily wooded area. Yet insects curiously aren’t an issue. The lanais needed to communicate smartly with the rest of the seven outdoor living spaces. Yes … seven fabulous spaces! A few are small, intimate escapes and others are centered around the art of entertaining … surrounding the pool, positioned in front of the fireplace or growing from the grill station as festivities and family

joy spreads. We chose premium cedar as the primary structural lanais components with a few flairs to pull the details from the home into the lanais. The ceiling fan helps with airflow and is a contributor to discouraging flying insects from hanging around. Because of the woods canopy, shade wasn’t a driver in the structure, simply a resounding place to gather. And this place has it all. TV. BAR-COUNTER. TAP. I can only imagine how powerful, yet peaceful, it must be to celebrate with family and friends while the Colts game screams on the outdoor TV. The formal brick fireplace situated a comfortable distance away, crackles under the loud cheers from another Luck touchdown as a local craft beer flows from the bar station tap. Another Colts win! That’s why this is our “PROJECT OF THE DECADE.”

When to use solid vs. engineered hardwood

Commentary by David Decker

Which type of hardwood is right for your home? For a versatile and natural look that never goes out of style, interiors many homeowners choose to install hardwood flooring. Unlike other flooring trends that come and go, hardwood flooring has remained in style for more than 200 years with no signs that tastes will change anytime soon. Today, homeowners have more hardwood options to choose from than ever before. With designs ranging from rustic to retro to contemporary, there is a style of hardwood floors to fit any home. Although there are countless wood finishes, hardwood planks can be divided into two main categories: solid and engineered. Solid hardwood is made from pure, solid wood planks. This method of constructing hardwood floors is the original way hardwood has been installed in homes for hundreds of years. The main advantage of solid hardwood flooring is the fact that it can be repaired multiple times. Scratches, discoloration or other signs of wear and tear can disappear through a sanding and refinishing process. This increases the lifespan of your flooring dramatically.

Teacher of the Month!

ATTENTION, STUDENTS!

Hundreds of types of hardwood looks are available, but which is best for you? (Submitted photo)

The other way of manufacturing planks is called engineered hardwood. Engineered hardwood is made from pressed plywood that uses a thin wood veneer as the top layer. The biggest difference between the two categories is stability, which results in the ability to get wider and longer board planks, which is all the rage right now. It won’t contract and expand as much as traditional hardwood. If you are trying to decide whether to install solid hardwood or engineered, you’ll want to survey and inspect the room where you are considering new floors. It’s important to note that hardwood is susceptible to moisture and

extreme temperatures. Choosing the right hardwood for your home is a big decision. The right hardwood style can subtly tie all the other elements of your room décor together. Select carefully; a great hardwood floor can last a lifetime and beyond.

Before you go any ‘further’ Commentary by Jordan Fischer

Knee & Hip Pain Seminar Join Dr. Timothy Williams of Westfield Orthopaedics to learn more about the latest techniques to treat joint pain and arthritis. Dr. Williams, a board certified and fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon, will cover important information regarding knee and hip replacement procedures, including minimally invasive surgery. A light dinner will be served.

Question: “Jordan, a few years ago Ford Motor Co. used the tagline ‘Go Further.’ Would you please explain the grammar guy correct use of ‘further’ vs. ‘farther?’ I would prefer to rely on the Grammar Guy rather than Corporate America for grammatical guidance. After all, the business world gave us ‘Lands’ End,’ ‘Eat Fresh’ and ‘Rethink Possible.’ Thank you for furthering the cause of good grammar.” – (Nancy Reichmann, Westfield) Answer: Hi Nancy … to be fair, the business world also gave us Dodge Ram, which is a pretty fun little oxymoron to see roaming around town. More to your point: There can be some ambiguity between whether “further” or “farther” is the correct choice, and this happens to be one of those occasions. Let’s talk about why. Both “further” and “farther” have historically been used as the comparative form of “far,”

meaning “at, to or by a greater distance.” The Oxford Dictionaries will tell you “further” and “farther” may be used interchangeably in that meaning, as they have been for hundreds of years. “Further” has more uses, though. Unlike “farther,” which is limited to descriptions of actual distances, “further” is often used metaphorically or abstractly (ex. “to further a career”). Because of this, many grammar guides – I include myself among them – suggest simplifying the situation by using “farther” in all contexts describing actual, physical distances, and “further” only for abstract or metaphorical uses. Otherwise you could end up like Ford Motor Co., where my response to their slogan is, “Go further what?” Jordan Fischer is a contributing columnist for Current Publishing. To ask Jordan a grammar question, write him at rjfische@ gmail.com.
