Son’s recovery leads nonprofit to help others By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Having seen her own son battle heroin addiction, Gina Bardach was restoration compelled to get into the front lines of the battle. Bardach discovered her son Brandon Villa, a former Fishers High School student, had become addicted to heroin terribly while at Indiana University. Villa was sent to California to get clean in April 2013 and has been living in recovery. Bardach said her son was clean for more than a year when she started the group. “At first I wanted to put it behind us but I was afraid he’d relapsed,” Bardach said. “I also knew that his friends continued to die.” By Sept. 26 of 2014, he Bardach had lost 16 friends due to drug overdose. Bardach said these were friends he played sports with or were classmates. Bardach said she lost three friends in one week from Fishers and Noblesville in the summer of 2013. “I knew I couldn’t stay silent,” Bardach said So Bardach founded Hope and OVERcoming in the fall of November 2014. The nonprofit is dedicated to helping provide awareness of heroin and opioid use and creating an atmosphere of hope and recovery for those suffering from the disease of addiction through support groups, 12-step meetings, recovery coaches and faith-based ministry outreach and advocacy. All services are free. “Brandon has been very instrumental, vocal

and willing to share his story to help others,” Bardach said. Group to host documentary Hope and OVERcoming, parenting with Indiana Addiction Issues, will hold a screening of the documentary “The Anonymous People” at 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 22 at the Community Center, 9091 East 131st St., Fishers. The film is about the 23.5 million Americans living in long-term recovery from addiction to alcohol and other drugs. Hope and OVERcoming is partnering with Indiana Addiction Issues Coalition to present the documentary, which is told through leaders, volunteers, corporate executives and celebrities who share their stories to try to help others. “Eighty percent of all people incarcerated are incarcerated because of addition or to support their addiction,” Bardach said. “Here in Hamilton County we’ve had an increase in home invasions and robbery. There are more car accidents now due to people under the influence of narcotics than there are for drunk driving. There are more

people dying from overdose every year than there are from traffic fatalities. We have a big epidemic. This whole documentary is actually inside court rooms, inside AA meetings and inside jails talking to people. It’s quite amazing.” Bardach said a high school student from Fishers will speak about her mother’s addiction and how it affected the family. Bardach said law enforcement officials will speak of the growing epidemic of heroin use. There will be a demonstration of Naloxone (Narcan), an antidote that reverses an overdose. It is being used by Hamilton County paramedics. Bardach said it is a prescription that can be obtained though a doctor and can be carried in a purse and medical cabinets. Bardach said her son testified at the Indiana State House to help Sen. Jim Merritt get a bill written in to law called Aaron’s Law. Gov. Mike Pence signed the bill into law on April 17. The law is named for Aaron Sims, a former Lawrence North High School football player who died of an overdose in 2013.

A Hamilton Southeastern School board meeting was held on Aug. 24 at the HSE Administration Building. All board members were in attendance. This meeting’s Snapshot of Success honored Hamilton Southeastern Elementary schools in their efforts to raise money for the American Heart Association. Since HSE schools have been involved with the American Heart Association they have raised over $1 million in funds, which equates to more than 20,000 lives saved. Total amounts raised in 2015 were $134,986.66. The top five schools each had representatives at the school board meeting to be honored.

AMAZING PERFORMANCE

Why it matters: Each year, AHA provides free resources to Physical Education teachers and programs, promoting health lifestyles for students and families. Because cardiovascular diseases, including stroke, remain the leading cause of death in Indiana. AHA also partners with schools to host fundraising/awareness events like Jump Rope for Heart and Hoops for Heart.

A second read of the policy in response to a new law regarding non-resident employees to enroll their students into the school they are employed with. The first reading had minor changes in legal terminology and grammar. The board unanimously approved the policy. Why it matters: At the last board meeting, members were presented with the policy. In order for students to qualify they must meet three requirements: The student’s parent is a current employee of the corporation; The student’s parent resides in Indiana; Hamilton Southeastern Schools have the capacity to accept the student. For the 2015-16 school year 17 students were added to various schools within the district as a result. Dr. Bourff introduced a new staff member to the board. Sneha Shah will be joining staff to work closely with the board in developing the upcoming referendum plan. Why it matters: Recently the board had voted down the decision to move on with the proposed referendum for the school budget formula. The board decided it would like more feedback from the community before proposing the referendum, which could go into the May 2016 election ballot. The board approved the ratification of a new contract for HSE teachers. A complete version of the contract can be found under the Aug 24 HSE school board meeting agenda at http://www. boarddocs.com/in/hses/Board.nsf/Public Why it matters: Teachers can expect to see an increase in salary based upon experience. The board unanimously approved the new contract. Board members discussed the lack of full time and reserve substitute teachers available to the district. Board members also made note that there was a shortage of bus drivers within the district. Why it matters: Schools within the district were experiencing a shortage of about 100 substitute teachers. Qualifications for substitute teachers can be as much as 30 hours of college course work or about one year of full time college work. The district is short of approximately 10 bus drivers.

Living in a world of pain Commentary by Rev. Michael VandenBerg Dr. James Cook, theologian, once remarked in response to question of how we handle the everyday tragedies and the religion extraordinary tragedies with these words; “We are masters of bringing death out of life, but only God can bring life out of death”. As we witness the almost nightly assault on our senses, watching the evening news tell us again and again of the violence, shootings and death within the city, we find that we become each day, just a bit more desensitized to the pain. That is, until we are jarred awake by an extraordinary tragedy like 911, Oklahoma City, Columbine or so many other needless violent events. It is then that we realize just how far down the path we have traveled. We realize that we are helpless to stop the violence, end the unspeakable pain and reverse the finality of death. We go into sensory overload so our inclination is to stay

desensitized to the pain. We try to make ourselves believe that it can’t happen to us, but we know it can, and it scares us. Jesus offers us another solution. He tells us that the answer is not to pretend that violence isn’t real, or that we are in control, or that it won’t happen to us, but to recognize that through the pain, our God still shines. God who controls, sustains, orders and redeems us also suffers, grieves, and consoles us. This same God loved us so much that He would not avoid the suffering and pain, even death, but instead showed us how to live through all of life’s pain.

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.

Safe Families for Children, a self-funded volunteer based organization aimed at keeping families intact and prevent child neglect and abuse, will be holding a gala at charity the Oak Hill Mansion, 5801 E. 116th St., Carmel on Sept. 11. The organization has been in the Indianapolis metropolitan area since 2008. The gala will be the big event of the year, with last year’s gala raising $80,000 for the organization. Organization assistant director Beth Kinney said she hopes to meet and exceed that goal this year. There will be a live auction, a silent auction and a dinner all starting at 6:30 p.m. Kinney said some of the items in the auction include Disney tickets, a week rental condo in Florida and ski resort rentals. The gala helps raise money to help struggling families in the area who may need to find a spot for their kids while they get back on their feet. “We provide early intervention services if a parent is struggling and having a hard time,” Kinney said. “The parent can call us and we will place the children into a temporary host home, we have a network of homes across the city.” Kinney said many of the participants are single mothers looking for help with getting back on their feet, but she said they also take in kids due to substance abuse, incarceration or illnesses.

Look at us. We look and feel good. We eat right – plenty of fresh, organic, non-processed foods, high in vitamins, minerals, stress and anti-oxidants. We’re committed to regular, vigorous exercise routines. We pride ourselves on being healthy. But could we be in denial? Could our lifestyles be unhealthy? If we’re living with constant, chronic levels of stress, the answer may be yes. We simply can’t claim to be healthy, if we’re not “counting” stress. I am not talking about excitement, hard work, adrenaline or passion. I also am not talking about the protective stress response that causes us to slam on the breaks to avoid an accident or the stress that comes with sudden change or loss. I am talking about constant, chronic levels of stress that many people live with in our culture – in fact, that may be accepted or even celebrated, in a culture where “Type A” is worn as a badge of honor. It may be something that we have lived with for so long – it may feel so “normal” – that we don’t even notice it. But it isn’t normal

or healthy. Over time, the physiological effects of stress can cause serious health issues. Health problems related to stress include high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, asthma, obesity, diabetes, headaches, muscle pain, depression, anxiety, gastrointestinal problems, insomnia, increased substance abuse, reproductive problems, weakened immunity, accelerated aging, and premature death. It almost makes smoking look good. Stress, of course, is not an external phenomenon. Like most other things, it’s an inside game. The stress we experience is a function of how we respond to our environment. That is why different people respond differently to the same situation. To a great extent, it’s within our control. Stress is not a burden to bear. It’s an unhealthy lifestyle choice. What do you choose? Amy L.

Blues Fest returns to Fishers By James Feichtner • james@youarecurrent.com The Nickel Plate District will have a case of the Blues on the weekend of Sept. 4. Beginning that Friday, the entertainment city will be celebrating its annual Blues Fest with two nights of Blues entertainment from several, local bands. “This will be the third annual Blues Fest that we’re doing at the Nickel Plate District Amphitheater. It’s a great event,” Fishers Parks and Recreation Director Tony Elliot said. “We’ve done it the past couple of years and it’s got some phenomenal acts that are coming out.” Taking place on Sept. 4 from 7 to 9 p.m., Blues on the Beach will offer an evening of live Blues entertainment on Saxony Beach. There will be a food truck and Freedom Kayak will be renting paddleboards and kayaks. “We’ve got a great Blues band called Zach Day and Full Throttle. They are outstanding.” Elliot said. “I think it will be a cool warm up event. We’ll have the fire pits burning; some Tiki lights going. If you want to get in the spirit of the Blues the night before, come to Saxony Beach.” The following day, Blues Fest premieres

The Governor Davis Band. (Submitted photo)

at the Nickel Plate Amphitheater from 6 to 10 p.m. Each year, to celebrate the Blues, the city honors a local Hoosier Blues band for their musical contributions. “One of the unique things of this event each year that we like to do is highlight these Indiana Blues legends,” Elliot said. “So every year we highlight a different Indiana Blues legend and give them an award on behalf of the city; on behalf of the parks and recreation department.” This year’s award will go to the Governor Davis band, a Hoosier band that has been performing since the 90s.

Where’s Amy? ‘Where’s Amy?’ is a photo column by Amy Pauszek, a society girl and film producer with Ever Film Productions. She may be reached at aepaws1@comcast.net.

Jake Laird golf outing As friends gathered to check in for the golf outing, I was touched by the many awards and medals on display for Jake Laird. His memory lives on through the Jake Laird Fund. (Photos by Amy Pauszek) “Where’s Amy?” … I recently attended the 12th annual Jake Laird Golf Outing on Aug. 21. Jake had been an IMPD officer for four years when he was shot and killed in the line of duty. Following the loss of their son, Mike and Debbie Laird decided to create something positive and formed a non-profit agency. The Jake Laird Fund is dedicated to providing financial support for police officers and firefighters injured in the line of duty who are experiencing financial hardships. In addition the nonprofit provides funding for special projects and equipment for police and fire agencies. The Jake Laird Fund has donated approximately $400,000 to help others in need throughout Indiana. Each year the Laird family and friends host a golf outing to celebrate Jake’s life. They thought the idea would last a couple of years after their son’s tragic death but they are still amazed at the amount of support they receive each year. The event also included Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard, Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear and U.S. Rep. Susan Brooks (R-Ind.).

P lananed e l p m i s Geist resident builds airplane in basement of his home By James Feichtner • james@youarecurrent.com

As children, there are those of us who built model cars or airplanes and maybe wanted to be racecar drivers or pilots when we grew up. For many of us cover story those dreams don’t last, but for software engineer and Geist resident Steve Cole, those childhood aspirations stuck with him and led him to not only learn to fly, but build his own, real plane. “I did build model airplanes as a kid and I got my pilots license when I was 16 years old,” Cole said. “My dad was my flight instructor. But I’ve always been able to work with my hands and be a perfectionist and do pretty good work.” Cole didn’t simply want to buy an airplane as he felt, being an engineer, he could do a better job himself. “I purchased the plans from Hummel,” Cole said. “But the plane took three years and eight months to build. I just bought the material and built the plane.” Not only did Cole build his own plane himself, he built it in the basement of his Geist home. After completing the aircraft Cole entered it into the famous Experimental Aircraft Association Airventure Oshkosh convention in Wisconsin. Taking place every July, the convention awards planes of various classes for design, craftsmanship and authenticity. Cole went on to win the prestigious title of 2015 Grand Champion, an award that isn’t given out unless there are entrants deemed worthy of the honor. “That’s an award they give out at Oshkosh for craftsmanship,” Cole explained. “So I was told that this year was the first year that they’ve given the Grand Champion award in five years. So if the airplane is not worthy; no award. It’s not like a running race where someone is going to win.” Cole built his plane off the design of a Hummel Ultralight Cruiser, a plane designed with certain parameters in mind. One being just as the name ensues: to be ultra-light. Using a light weight aluminum body and powered by half a Volkswagen engine, the plane weighs in at only 254 pounds without any fluids and can accommodate one person. “It’s got to fall within the rules of an Ultralight class,” Cole

said. “Top speed can’t be more than 65mph. The engine is a half a Volkswagen [engine]. It’s actually the front half of the engine.” Cole said he had always liked the Ultralight cruiser design so he decided to build his own. “I just really like the design,” he said. “I’ve seen these planes fly at airshows and I just loved the way they perform; love the way they fly and look and just decided to build one.” But what really makes the plane stand out is it’s shimmering sheen. Cole completed the arduous task of polishing each and every inch of dull aluminum before assembly to help bring out a gleam that comes close to that of a mirror. “That’s what attracts a lot of people to this plane; the level of polish that it has on it,” Cole said. “As it comes from the factory it kind of has this [dull] look to it. This has been polished to mirror level. All the sheet aluminum that I had, I polished by hand. Just to give you an idea, three feet by eight feet of aluminum is six hours of polishing.” Now that Cole has built his plane and earned the accolade of Oshkosh Grand Champion, all that’s left for Cole is to fly it. While two test pilots have flown the craft and confirmed it flies exceptionally smooth, Cole himself has yet to fly it. Currently the plane is in an Ohio airport. Cole wants to get acquainted with his flying machine before he flies it back to its home at Indianapolis Metropolitan Airport in Fishers. “I’ve never flown it before so my plan is to fly it up there [in Ohio] at that airport, do a bunch of takeoffs and landings,” Cole said. “Just get comfortable with it. Then I am going to take it cross-country.”

Stocks and diamonds: Comparing the similarities Commentary by Joe Clark Diamonds are a traditional gift to commemorate an engagement, or celebrate a milestone anniversary. Stocks are a less common (and many people would say less finance romantic) gift! Fear not – I’m not advocating we replace diamond solitaires with stock certificates. But it might surprise you to consider that the quality of stocks and diamonds can be viewed through similar lenses! A diamond’s “color” actually refers to its transparency. The more color, the lower the gem’s quality. The more transparent a business is, the easier it is for analysts and investors to evaluate the business. Google recently reorganized its stock to offer investors greater transparency. Clarity refers to defects. Diamonds are formed over eons, with pressure and heat refining imperfections. Investors can evaluate

a company’s investments over time, including its use of cash, management tenure and performance, and contrast these under various economic cycles. Viewing data over time improves clarity when determining a reasonable price for the stock. Cut refers to how a diamond reflects light. Some economists believe our economy functions in a four or five-year cycle, cresting at a peak, contracting into recession and then expanding to a new peak. This theory posits that different types of companies will fare better at different stages of the cycle. This perspective seems reasonable, but proves imperfect when the economic landscape shows two opposing sectors moving in the same direction (like we see in the current cycle). Carat weight often serves as a price indicator. The investment world would replace carat weight with market capitalization to determine a stock’s size, along with factors like price-toearnings (PE) ratio to compare expenses between companies.

The higher the ratio, the more investors pay for a stock relative to current earnings. That’s why the PE ratio is only one metric in the valuation. Typically companies with smaller market capitalization have higher PE ratios than large cap businesses. Applying diamond evaluating criteria to stocks may seem unusual but the point is simple: It isn’t just a stone and it’s not just a stock. We are in a stock picker’s market right now and may the best gemologist win!

Conner Prairie Apple Store celebrates 30 years news@currentinfishers.com

Treats offered at the apple store. (Submitted photo)

With the approach of autumn comes apple season. People gather to go apple picking as apples become readily available at local stores. For anniversary one Fishers-based organization, this year will mark its store’s 30th anniversary. Opening on Sept. 1, the Conner Prairie Apple Store celebrates 30 years here in Fishers. In honor of this significant milestone, a special treat will be offered to customers: a limited edition pearlescent caramel apple. “The traditional gift for a 30-year anniversary is the pearl so we’ve found a way to create a special handdipped pearlescent caramel apple this season,” Marcilynn Keys, president of the Conner Prairie Alliance volunteer group that operates the store, said. “We’re sure it will be a hit.”

The store will open at 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Sundays till Oct. 31. On opening day the store will offer a 15 percent discount on all items. Products offered at the store include hand-dipped caramel apples, fresh popcorn, apple pies, gifts, candy and treats. Favorites from previous years return such as caramel apples dipped in dark chocolate and dusted with sea salt and Annie’s Apple, a freshly cut apple drizzled with caramel. Special discounts and promotions will be offered throughout the season on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. “Each season, Alliance members dip thousands of caramel apples, pour cider slushies, bag hundreds of Indiana grown apples, bake dozens of apple pies and so much more to raise money for Conner Prairie,” Keys said. “We have raised nearly $1 million for Conner Prairie and we should surpass that mark this year.” For more information on Conner Prairie or the Alliance volunteers, visit http://www.connerprairie.org/

The cool side of the pillow Commentary by Terry Anker It has been a sleepless night – tossing and turning as if the dilemma’s resolution could be found on the cool side of the pillow. What is keeping that much needed (and desired) sweet, deep sleep out of reach? Yes, there is much to do. However, there was much to do yesterday, and the day before, and the day before that one – and yet each delivered a perfect and restful slumber. The mind wonders from one topic to the next without finding a satisfactory place to rest. Thoughts emerge and recede never fully gaining the benefit of consideration. Soon, dawn is upon us. The sounds of the night are giving way to the industrious early birds beckoning first light. Focus is emerging from unresolved problems dwindling to a few. The digital clock across the room is advancing – at first by the minute, then in groups of ten or so at a time. What will the day bring? Will the resources and

ability to achieve the objective be attained? If at all, can the problem find a solution? And if it cannot, does it really matter? Soon, the house will come to life. The dog will awaken, stretch awkwardly, and nudge me to let him outside. Alarms will sound and school busses will arrive. If only there was time for a second cup of coffee. Just take it along for the drive to the office. On the radio, the weather forecaster predicts the climate in clichéd but comfortable prose. Did the extra hour this morning of silent thought prepare for the challenges ahead or would the benefit have been greater from a bit more REM? At this point, the machinery of life has begun again and we come to it prepared as we are. Happily, another chance for sleep arrives with nightfall.

My husband Doo and I began participating in triathlons last year. We were looking for something new to whip us into shape that wouldn’t require knee replacehumor ment surgery any time soon. We’ve completed three sprints thus far, and are gunning for an Olympic length tri over Labor Day. If you’re in with the Lord, please send up prayers this Sunday! I bring this challenge to your attention because in my quest to beat Doo, my formercollegiate-athlete brother-in-law and every middle-aged female on the planet, I’ve found that in addition to actually training, looking the part is equally important. To that end, I stepped up my game this summer by purchasing not only an honest-to-goodness road bike (the hybrid model I used in my first race was so slow I should have just attached a wicker basket and enjoyed a nice ride to market), but also real adult goggles (that don’t fog over after 2.3 seconds and won’t have to be stripped away for the second half of the swim) and a legit cycling outfit (on sale and straight from China). For me at least, appearing to be a capable, competitive athlete really does provide a boost in confidence, and consequently, in my performance. Plus, if you look like the winners, then even if a pregnant woman pushing a jogging stroller blows past you in the run, you can still pretend it never happened as you roam the post-race celebration, free brew in hand. The problem arises when people assume you know more than you actually do. Case in point, I recently fell off my bike and dropped the chain on a very busy riding trail. I received a few offers of help, but no one actually stopped. I think I looked too dang good! They probably thought I was sprawled in the weeds on purpose, perhaps practicing a therapeutic yoga move. And then I crashed again, less than 10 feet away! This time? Chirp. Alas, though I’ve done a decent job of exuding the serious triathlete vibe, I’m really just a gal trying to stay fit without bionics. Peace out.

Please hold: Cable blues Dr. Praveen Perni

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

Dr. John Ward

“There’s someone at the door,” said my wife, which is never a statement of fact, but rather a request for me to go humor see who it is. Generally, it’s best that Mary Ellen not answer the door. She’s a softy and can’t say no to solicitors, which is why we have 20 years’ worth of garbage bags. The young man at the door was selling a new cable service. As a creature of habit, I am not inclined to change anything unless something much better comes along … and I say that proudly after 35 years of marriage. The time was 7:03 p.m. Keegan began by trying to convince me of the benefits of a faster Internet connection. “How long does it take you to get on the Internet now?” he asked. “Well, I start upstairs with a beverage, then, with this pesky knee of mine, it takes me a while to get down the stairs to the computer. By the time I find my glasses, we’re looking at eight to 10 minutes.”

Keegan was on his cell phone, on hold during our entire conversation, trying to get approval from his supervisor for the discount package he presented to me. He explained the advantages of this offer, which meant instead of 240 shows available every hour, we could get 270 – giving us an extra 30 we also had no time to watch. The deal-maker was that he was going to provide us with four DVRs, the devices that record TV programs for future viewing. We only have three TVs, so we’ll just stick one next to the toilet in the half bath. I bet it will creep out our guests at our next dinner party. It was now 10:05 p.m. The phone rang and it was yet another cable service wanting to talk about their new promotion, which sounded pretty good, too. “Let me think about that,” I said. “Can I put you on hold for a moment?”

Generally, it’s best that Mary Ellen not answer the door.

Kagey Parrish and Laura Wortman are the husband and wife duo of The Honey Dewdrops. (Submitted photo)

Honey Dewdrops come to Carmel By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

A unique performance with a mix of old American music and bluegrass will come to The Warehouse Sept. Performance 5 in the form of husband and wife duo, Kagey Parrish and Laura Wortman. Parrish and Wortman are the two parts of the band The Honey Dewdrops. “We are singer-songwriters who love a lot of old American music, old country music and old bluegrass styles,” Parrish said. “There’s an old, familiar sound to (our music) coming from traditional American influences but written from our point of view and the world we live in today.” Parrish said he and Wortman write most of their own music, and about 90 percent of their performance will be original work. He described their music as having local harmonies, with their musical instruments consisting of guitars, a mandolin and a banjo. The couple started performing music full time in 2009, and while they are not on tour, they live in Baltimore. They’ve been making music together for 12 years after

Coping with the loss of a family member or friend is difficult for anyone – especially children and adolescents. For parents tryfamily ing to help their children deal with death, the situation becomes even more challenging when the parents themselves are also grieving the loss. Here are some strategies for helping your child cope: • Let your child know that grieving is OK. Don’t be afraid to let your child see you cry or show emotion, and be sure to let her know that grieving is acceptable. • Answer questions honestly. Children may have questions about death and dying. Unless there are unusual circumstances, it’s best to answer your child’s questions in an honest, direct, age-appropriate way. • Offer reassurance. Young children often have “magical thinking.” They may feel their own actions caused the family member’s death. You may hear things like, “I didn’t

listen to Grandpa last week, so that’s why he died.” • Know the signs. Children often express grief through anger or silence. Teens may be more likely to engage in risky behavior, especially if they were very close to the person who died (parent, best friend). • Talk openly. Help your child find closure and acceptance by recalling good memories or looking through photos. Young children may benefit from creating artwork about the person who has died. • Seek help, if needed. If you feel your child (or an adult), is having difficulty moving forward after a death, consult your primary care physician. Sean Keller, MD, specializes in internal medicine and pediatrics.

Blueprint for Improvement: Updating your ’90s kitchen Before

Commentary by Larry Greene Background Info: This home is located in the Avian Glen Subdivision in Carmel. It was built in 1994 and the kitchen was original to the home. The homeowners have lived there for eight years and were ready for an update. Before Problems: The cabinets were old thermafoil cabinets that were beginning to peel. The island was too small for the space and countertop would often move in place. The space was poorly utilized and did not meet the needs of the family.

After

After Solutions: The goal was to achieve a fully functional and beautiful kitchen for a busy family. 1. A large prep island was installed to create room for additional seating. 2. The built-in desk and pantry closet were eliminated to provide room for a more functional cabinet pantry with roll-out drawers. This also provided room for additional countertop space. 3. Pull out wire baskets were installed providing the perfect storage solution for produce. 4. Under cabinet lighting and two large pen-

dant lights were installed to brighten up the space. 5. Granite countertops replaced the outdated and decrepit laminate tops. Solid, black granite with a matte finish was used for the perimeter and lighter granite with ample movement was installed on the island. 6. Personalized city tile backsplash was installed allowing the clients to select tile of the cities where they previously lived. 7. Hardwood flooring was installed throughout the first level creating a continuous flow between the kitchen and the rest of the home.

8. New ceramic tile was installed in the adjacent laundry room and half bathroom completing the flow and new look of the home with the kitchen. 9. The traditional kitchen was energized by adding industrial touches in the backsplash, island seating, and lighting. Larry Greene is the owner of Case Design/Remodeling.

Ruins of Deir el-Medina, near Luxor, Egypt (Photo by Don Knebel)

Deir el-Medinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tomb builders

Let our experienced designers show you the positive impact of a well designed kitchen or bath remodel that fits your style, your family, and the way you live.

Commentary by Don Knebel

Live Happy .

Deir el-Medina is the name given to the ruins of an ancient Egyptian village that housed workers building tombs in the travel Valley of the Kings. Records from the site reveal an ancient economic development strategy. Contrary to popular beliefs, Egyptian tombs, including the Great Pyramids, were not built by slaves but by workers employed by the government. When Egyptians began entombing pharaohs in the Valley of the Kings, near Luxor, they built a town about two miles away for the tomb builders and their families. The town, originally named The Place of the Truth, was founded in about 1500 B.C. and lasted until interment in the Valley of the Kings ended about 400 years later. At its peak, the town included more than 100 four or five-room stone houses. At least some of the workers and their wives were literate. Letters written on ostraca and papyrus indicate the work schedule consisted of eight days on and two days off. Workers were given additional days off for festivals and

when they were ill or, on at least one occasion, drunk. During their time off, the workers constructed chapels and tombs for themselves and their families. The government provided the houses, medical care and laundry services. Wages consisted of food, firewood and other supplies the workers needed, with occasional bonuses of items for religious celebrations and materials for their eventual mummification. The painters, stone masons, carpenters and sculptors received about three times the wages of a field hand. When the skilled workers were dissatisfied with their wages and benefits under Pharaoh Ramses III, they went on strike until their demands were satisfied. Deir el-Medina, a UNESCO World Heritage site, includes some of the most finely decorated tombs in Egypt. It also provides an example of a government creating middle class jobs 3,500 years ago.
