Weather pushes Earth Day ArborFest indoors By Sadie Reecer • sadie@youarecurrent.com Gloomy weather and a full day of rain didn’t stop the City of Noblesville from celebrating both Earth Day and Arbor going green Day Saturday at the Noblesville Moose Lodge. Originally scheduled for Forest Park, event organizers for the third annual Earth Day ArborFest knew they needed to move the venue when they saw the weather forecast Thursday. “We called the Moose Lodge that afternoon, and they were really great,” said Cindy Knapp, assistant recreation director for the City of Noblesville. “I’m happy we were able to still have it.” The event involved families in outdoorsy crafts like planting seeds to take home and decorating “tree cookies,” small cross sections of trees with string to be used as necklaces or Christmas tree ornaments. However, the biggest draw came with the giving away of tree saplings, including redbud, tulip poplar, sugar maple and white oak trees. All trees were provided courtesy of the Noblesville Tree Board and Keep Noblesville Beautiful. National speaker Tim Womick, aka “Appleseedz”, entertained and educated the crowd with information about the importance and

City selected 25th time for Tree City USA
By Sadie Reecer • sadie@youarecurrent.com
The City of Noblesville was named a 2014 Tree City USA by the Arbor Day Foundation in honor of its commitment to effective urban forest management. This is the 25th award consecutive year Noblesville has earned this national distinction. Noblesville also received a Tree City USA Growth Award for demonstrating environmental improvement and higher level of tree care. “Trees increase property values, reduce energy use and add beauty to our homes and neighborhoods,” Mayor John Ditslear said. “The environment and its sustainability are important aspects of the quality of life our citizens expect in Noblesville.” The city received Tree City USA recognition by meeting the program’s four requirements: a tree board or department, a tree-care ordinance, an annual community forestry budget of at least $2 per capita and an Arbor Day observance and proclamation. “Everyone believes when elected officials, volunteers and committed citizens in communities like Noblesville make smart investments in urban forests,” said Matt Harris, Arbor Day Foundation chief executive. “Trees bring shade to our homes and beauty to our neighborhoods, along with numerous economic, social and environmental benefits.” For more photos, see page 11.

Watercolor classes taught in May By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Whether you are artistically talented or not, Noblesville painter Rodney Reveal is offering four watercolor classes starting May 7. art The classes are May 7, 14, 21 and 28 and will last from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Hamilton County Artists’ Association’s Birdie Gallery, 195 S. 5th St., Noblesville. The classes cost $35 dollars each, or $125 for all four. All people are welcome, although Reveal said he only wants to take around 12 per class. There will be a new painting each week, mostly landscapes. At the end of the first class, Reveal said he will ask participants what they want to paint and will incorporate some of those ideas into his classes. “There is a new painting every week, I do a step-by-step demo process so beginners or people without experience can do the class,” Reveal said. He also offers some supplies, although if more advanced painters have their own they should bring them to the class. He said most beginners can buy the wrong items, and he wants to prevent that by providing his own supplies to less-experienced painters. Some students that attend the class have

done classes with Reveal for years. “I’ve been doing watercolor for a long time, so I’m very comfortable with that. A lot of people like to start out with watercolor,” Reveal said. “It’s not quite as messy. Watercolor has a lot more technique compared to other mediums, and more of a thought process. Once people get watercolor accomplished, they can do any kind of medium.” If interested in attending any of the classes offered by Reveal, he is available at 432-3648 or rareveal@gmail.com.

‘Outside’ gift ideas for mom Commentary by Bob Wasson
Before you settle on a traditional Mother’s Day gift — like breakfast in bed, a bottle of perfume or a “World’s mother’s day Greatest Mom” Tshirt — consider giving your mother a present that she will enjoy for months, or even years, to come. Treat mom to a locally grown, organically produced, flowering potted plant or tree. Here are five suggestions that are sure to make your mother smile: • A basket overflowing with gorgeous flowers hanging on your mom’s front or back porch will delight her all summer long. • What’s your mother’s favorite summertime flower? Geraniums? Roses? Petunias? Select the ones she likes best and plant them for her. • If you and your mom enjoy working on projects together, consider designing your own arrangement of potted flowers. All you need are a couple of ceramic pots, some pea gravel and potting soil and a stroll through a greenhouse where you’ll find plants of all
sizes, colors and textures to choose from. • A flowering tree is a gift that your mom will appreciate for years to come. Crabapple, redbud and dogwood trees all display beautiful flowers every spring. They are easy to care for, and they add value to property. • If you’re on a tight budget, a package of flower seeds tucked inside a Mother’s Day card is sure to delight her. Plant them right away, and soon she’ll have patch of colorful zinnias to admire or beautiful blue morning glories climbing up the fence in her back yard. What better way to say “thank you” and “I love you” than with a flowering plant or tree? The gardening experts at your neighborhood nursery can help you make the best possible selection and provide you will all the tools you’ll need for May 10th to be the best Mother’s Day ever. Bob Wasson is president of operations at Wasson Nursery in Muncie. He may be reached at (765) 759-9000.

My home, my vote Commentary by Cindy Benedict Normally I’d ask you to close your eyes, but then you can’t keep reading so just work with me. Think about your our neighbors home. Put in your mind’s eye what it looks like from the outside, the look and feel of your neighborhood, and how you drive out of your neighborhood. Eventually you return home, but in the meantime you’ve earned some pay, picked up groceries, had coffee with a friend, grabbed a gift and attended a school or sporting event. It is just a normal day in your life. Now imagine your lifestyle without good roads and schools, and a safe place to shop. What if our area didn’t work for its economy so you didn’t have a good job, or lived in a neighborhood where anyone could build whatever they wanted next to your home? Hey, imagine it without a sewer system! Your tax dollars pay for an awful lot of what makes your home, your home. From sewers, to roads and road maintenance, police and fire services, recreation and creating an environment that entices business and beautiful neighborhoods, municipal governments have a lot of influence on your daily life. The people
we elect set the tone, and make the decisions that influence everything from trash pick-up to the ability to walk somewhere safely. This is why you must vote on May 5 in the primary election. Local elections determine who will represent you in making real decisions that affect you and your family. In Noblesville, the primary election is the de facto real election and it has real races. There are 30 people running for 12 positions and trust me – even if most of them have an (R) behind their name, they all have very different opinions and perspectives on how to run a city. You have a say in this. So take 30 minutes, read the bios in today’s paper and look at the candidates’ Facebook pages or websites to learn their positions. Take another 30 minutes to vote. One hour every four years to influence how your home is treated is surely worth that investment.

Noblesville voting precincts 3, 11, 30, 31, 33, 34 & 36 To my neighbors in Kingsley and our neighbors throughout district #2, I want to be your representative on our common council. Noblesville will experience substantial growth in economic and residential development. We need an approach going forward that balances an appreciation for the existing businesses and residents with the need to grow and support new businesses and neighborhoods that does not outpace the city’s ability to provide safety and security, well maintained streets, parks and greenspace as well as great educational opportunities. Growth should add to our experience and quality of life, not detract from it. Although a seat on the common council is an elected position, from my perspective it is part of my continued support of our community through public service. Please vote for Peggy Barts for common council on May 5th.

Last year, the new Project Eden community gardens sprouted for the first time at 146th St. and Hazel Dell Rd. in Noblesville. Nature This spring, the garden space has doubled to a total of nearly 6,000 square feet with room for up to 40 individual plots. Unlike many community gardens that charge a seasonal fee for use of the space, Project Eden gardeners make a discretionary monetary donation each year in addition to donating half of the produce to a local food pantry through a partnership maintained by the organization. Several large general plots used exclusively for donations are also maintained by volunteers. The nonprofit initiated in 2013 with a mission of reconnecting people with creation and restoring broken ecosystems. “We hope to grow in the coming years across central Indiana by partnering with local organizations, schools and churches to create organic gardens and promote ecological restoration,” said Sara Sterley, senior director of Project Eden.

Relay for Life team raises money for Noblesville resident By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com On April 13, the Relay for Life team “Nickels Back” held their first shopping extravaganza as a fundraiser for Relay cover story for Life and the American Cancer Society. Various venders sold items such as jewelry, purses, flowers, cupcakes and more to raise money for the cause. “Nickels Back” was inspired by Noblesville resident Beth Nickels and her battle with a rare form of carcinoma. Last year the team raised $2,000, and this year the hope to double that. The name of the team was inspired from the band Nickelback and their song “Rockstar.” When someone referred to Nickels as a rock star for what she was going through, she
used that to inspire the Relay for Life team name. “I was diagnosed last year in January,” Nickels said. “I had gone to the dentist in November and the dentist does a cancer check and noticed I had a lump in my neck.” On Martin Luther King Day the next January, Nickels found time and went to the doctor. After some tests, she discovered she had a rare form of stage four carcinoma that began in her sinuses by her skull. Nickels said the cancer was a surprise because that type of cancer is normally only found in middle-aged Asian men. “It was so far back in my head that there are no symptoms until stage four where it traveled to my lymph nodes,” Nickels said. Although surgery was not an option because of the location, after months of chemotherapy and radiation, Nickels can finally say
she is cancer free. This year, Forest Park will welcome back Relay for Life on May 9. The 24-hour relay takes place on a two mile walk where teams switch on and off to always have someone walking. At night, luminaries will be lit to honor those who died from cancer or to encourage those currently battling. “Relay for Life is a community team fundraising event,” Cara Roach, Noblesville’s Relay for Life community manager, said. “We have an opening ceremony to honor survivors and their caregivers and a reception afterwards.

members will be walking throughout the day.” Thirty teams are currently registered, and each team fundraises before and during the event. There is an opening ceremony and a reception to honor the cancer survivors. “There will be a live band performing, lots of music, food, children’s activities and a luminary ceremony once it gets dark. Our goal is to raise $90,000, and all funds go to the American Cancer Society,” Roach said. Anyone interested in registering can register online at relayforlife.org/noblesvillein or they can register at the event. “Really we just want to encourage survivors and caregivers to come out,” Roach said. “We have a survivor lap to open our event so survivors wear purple shirts that say ‘survivor’ on the back, and we really want to honor them. We have food from Chick-fil-a and Famous Dave’s. Anybody who is a cancer survivor or a caregiver and wanted to come out and celebrate we would really appreciate it.”

Election Day: Make it count
You received your Current today because May 5 is the date of the primary election. We don’t want election information in the paper on election days, as delivery of Current can happen into the late-afternoon hours; that does you no good on Election Day. Today, though, you’ll find what you need to know about candidates and voting. Our staff has prepared candidate profiles, a list of polling places and other pertinent information that we hope will help you make informed decisions when you enter the voting booth. There are several hotly contested races in the communities we serve. Elections, in our view, are more about the “then” than the “now.” All the talk on the campaign trail doesn’t amount to a hill of beans if a candidate is elected and, in the course of her or his term, doesn’t follow through on promises made during so many stump speeches. It then becomes about accountability. We urge you to focus on facts and not buy in to the hyperbole that typically accompanies municipal election races, including those of mayor, council and clerk-treasurer. This is an exciting time of year, mostly because it comes around only once every four years. We don’t for a moment doubt each candidate’s enthusiasm for serving you; we just urge a closer examination before you cast your vote. And we do hope you’ll vote, because it is your right and responsibility. Polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. May 5. As we’ve said before, this is about accountability on every plane. In that vein, is the incumbent you’re considering worthy of remaining in office, and is the challenger earnest and well-founded in her or his quest? Time will tell. Brian Kelly, publisher, and Steve Greenberg, general manager, are co-owners of Current Publishing, LLC. Write them at info@ youarecurrent.com.

Changing horses, even political ones Commentary by Terry Anker The aphorism “don’t change horses midstream” has always appealed to me. Perhaps it reflects a general bias towards managing change carefully. Perhaps, it simply points to the scores of cowboy movies that I watched as a kid. Some of the most dangerous, and therefore exciting moments, came when my favorite stars would reach the point in the cattle drive where they had to cross the raging river. Without exception, someone or something would be swept away by the rapidly moving current. Our communities are faced with the same decision today. Do we stay with the same plan that we’ve come to know in traveling together these last several years? Or, have we identified enough concern about the stability and sure-footedness of our present conveyance to make a change – right now, even as the water is rushing by? Local election years are perhaps the most important for the communities in which we live, and yet they are routinely
overlooked. Folks don’t feel sufficiently informed to make it to the polls. Or, they fail to take note of the incredible importance of primaries in elections where the slated candidate of one party is ostensibly the given victor in the fall general election. The reader of this column is likely in such a position. The vote cast in the primary will ultimately determine the upcoming general. Vote! Vote! Vote! As to the “horse” that we’re on, I’m not inclined to change. Like many reasonable people, I have some anxiety about the coming crossing. Our community is growing and with it comes changes, debt and uncertainty. Even if our current team is imperfect, they have made the crossing before and their behavior is predictable. Incumbents may be the old horse; but for this trip I’m inclined to stay the course. Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may e-mail him at terry@currentincarmel.com.
Q U O T E O F T HE WEE K The chief obstacle to the progress of the human race is the human race -Don Marquis
These days it seems I’m constantly on the edge of losing my sanity. Oblivious parents in carpool lines (pull forward, people!), pets vomiting charcoal on new carpet (long story), untamable locks that refuse to stay smooth even after intense flat-ironing (stupid red hair!) … no, it doesn’t take much for acute hypertension to set in and the obscenities to come out. But lately, the thing that’s really been chapping my rear is my children’s constant complaining about each other. This morning for example, as I was beginning my carefully-designed “Getting Ready” routine (incorporating all things introverted including but not limited to low lights, silence, and orange-mango juice), one of my daughters barged into my bathroom with “Mommy! Maddie stole my curling iron and I got up early to curl my hair and you have to do something about her taking my things without asking and never returning them and now what am I supposed to do?” Last night, as I actually lay in bed trying to sleep, the same kid flung open the door, jumped on the bed and said, “Mom. Can I just tell you what Andrew said to me because he is not being nice and acting just like Geoffrey saying mean things and not caring about my day and completely ignoring me and he is supposed to be my brother.” Last week? My twins were online checking their grades, and I hear, “Maw-um! Geoffrey’s failing two classes. You’d better ground him!” Then shortly thereafter from the youngest wails, “Corinne’s pressing my buttons! She’s rolling her eyes! She didn’t do the dishes! She’s a big brat! She’s … ” and so on. Where’s the love? Where’s the “I’ll scratch your back if you’ll scratch mine?” Why can’t they just love each other? I get it, I honestly do. I grew up in a house with four sisters and only one bathroom. We were constantly fighting and narc-ing each other out to our parents. But that was back before personal electronics; we had a ton of free time to fill. What better way to spend an afternoon than by plotting to bring down the spoiled four-year-old? These days though, there’s absolutely no reason for my kids to be hating on one another. For an extened version of this story visit www.currentinwestfield.com

Rehearsal space, on the road and at home Local venue helps bands prep for shows
By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com
Rick Kingston is planted in his Carmel shop seven days. Some days he might be there 14 hours. No matter, he loves it. Kingston’s Music Showcase, 340 Ridgepoint Dr., primarily provides rehearsal space for bands. The hours business are typically from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., but that often changes. “We have a lot of acts at the Jazz Kitchen and sometimes those guys don’t get up until dinner time,” he said. “So they are not done until 1 o’clock in the morning. I stay until the last band is done.” The shop also serves as musical instrument store and a concert venue. Kingston started the business and about five years ago. “It’s been a rocket ship ever since,” Kingston said. He moved from smaller location on Gradle Drive three years ago and then doubled the space about 18 months ago. “We have three rooms and they’re regularly booked so we’re looking for more space right now,” Kingston said. The store has hosted several national and regional acts in his rehearsal rooms. “Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band was in Brussels (Belgium) one night and in here the next,” Kingston said. Kingston said Stars in Stereo, a Los Angeles band, rented out the place for a whole day before a date in Cincinnati. The band then canceled a show in Atlanta and came back and spent another day in the shop. “It’s hard to find rehearsal space on the road,” Kingston said. Rick Kingston (right) with Rev.

Fab Four show mirrors real Beatles By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com
The Fab Four, a Beatles tribute band, will perform at The Palladium at The Center for the Performing Arts at 8 p.m. on performance May ?. Doug Tatum, the center’s vice president of programming, discussed the popularity of the groups. With all the Beatles tribute bands, how do you determine which one to schedule? Whether it is classical, jazz, country or rock/ pop, the center’s goal is always to present the very highest quality attractions available, regardless of the particular musical genre. So while there certainly are multiple Beatles tribute bands that are available and touring, after just a bit of research, it really does not take too long to determine which of those bands are in the top tier, and thus, which ones are under consideration for the center to present.

Is there anything that makes The Fab Four stand out or set them apart in your view? I know the Fab Faux was at Palladium in 2013. You mentioned The Fab Faux – with that great band it’s all about recreating the music; they make no effort whatsoever to resemble the Beatles physically. With The Fab Four, the quality of the music still comes first, but they also don the costumes to recreate the look faithfully, even down to the personal mannerisms of each lad from Liverpool. So in that regard, I must admit that I am also very pleased with the quality of their wigs! Seriously, in judging a group, I always ask myself the question, “Do they truly do justice to the music?” With The Fab Four, I’m happy to say that the answer is yes. Their touring history dates back to 2001, so they have been around for awhile, but I don’t believe this group has previously performed in the Indianapolis area.

VOCE to present free concert
By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com
VOCE managing director Eric Wickens describes his chamber choir’s upcoming performance as calming Performance experience. “Even though it sacred music or classical, I find an opportunity to kind of sit and mediate and take in the music that the group is producing,” said Wickens, a bass baritone from Fishers. “You feel some comfort and mediation from it and hopefully some joy.” VOCE will present a free concert at 3 p.m. on May 17 at St. Christopher’s Episcopal Church, 1402 Main St., Carmel. VOCE, which stands for Voices of Choral Excellence, is under the direction of Dr. Madlen Batchvarova, who is choral director at Hanover College. The chamber choir, made up of mostly Indianapolis-area residents, will be presenting “A Sacred Journey.” In addition to Vivaldi’s Gloria, the program
will feature music coupled together by the same text but written by composers from different centuries and musical styles. The concert will take the audience through music of the Renaissance, Baroque, Romantic and Contemporary eras from the United States, Germany, Italy, Norway and Bulgaria. The series is part of St. Christopher’s Music on Main Fine Art Series. “We invite ensembles or groups, sometimes from afar but usually local groups,” said Robert Richter, the church’s music director. Richter said VOCE performed at St. Christopher’s several years ago. “In exchange for their performance, they have been hosting many of their rehearsals at the church,” Richter said. “Many of the singers come from north Indianapolis suburbs.” Brenda Iaocca is a soprano for VOCE, St. Christopher’s member and Carmel resident. VOCE has been reorganizing following the retirement of its founder Charles Goehring in 2013, Wickens said.

‘Pond’ to impress all generations
A word nerd remembers Mama
news@currentinwestfield.com
Commentary by Donna Monday
The Indiana Repertory Theatre is closing its season with a family feel-good production that promises to leave audiPerformance ences with a warm afterglow. “On Golden Pond,” a beloved Tony Award-winning play, runs on the OneAmerica Mainstage through May 10. It tells the story of Norman (Robert Elliott) and Ethel Thayer (Darrie Lawrence) who have spent nearly 40 summers in their Maine cottage, located on the banks of Golden Pond. But just as Norman – who’s experiencing frequent bouts of forgetfulness – starts to lose his zest for life, he receives an unexpected but welcomed visitor who turns his world upside down. This visitor, an inquisitive and misled 13-year-old boy named Billy Ray, Jr. (Griffin Grider) challenges Norman and not only rejuvenates his love of life, but also helps restore a faded relationship between Norman and his daughter, Chelsea (Constance Macy). “This timeless American classic brings to the table a lot of laughter and a lot of pathos. “On Golden Pond” allows us to think about this family while considering our own,” said
I just learned something you probably knew about me already. I am a “word nerd.” I’ve been one for decades plain talk and didn’t know it. I never heard the term until last week, when a high school classmate posted a cute saying: “Let’s Eat Grandma. Let’s Eat, Grandma. Commas Can Save Lives.” I told her I actually have the tee shirt. She said we must both be “word nerds.” I’m intrigued by all words, but especially by four-lettered words. Four-lettered words do a pretty good job of describing the human condition.

should outgrow. Too bad. It’s such a sweet word, and I love to hear it. My daughter (you remember, Rainbow) called me “Mama” till she headed off to preschool and outgrew it. Actually, I loved the word “Mama” when I was a child. I think that’s because my mother always called her mother “Mama.” So did her five sisters and their brother. Their “Mama” was a feisty woman. She was part Cherokee and all business. You didn’t mess with Grandma. She was a beadyeyed, determined survivor. She lived through the Depression as a widow with six children and no money. Two of her daughters (one of them my mother) spent four years in an orphanage. Grandma walked miles to that orphanage every Sunday. I once asked my mother how they all survived. “That’s easy,” Mom said. “We never doubted for a minute that Mama loved us.” “Mama,” another word for love. Donna Monday is a Zionsville

The black-tie affair features a dinner, a silent auction, a live auction and a cocktail hour. “We have a doctor who used to be here, his name is Dr. Watt,” Annette Preston, manager of the foundation. “He moved to, I believe it is North or South Carolina and he comes back here every year and does our music.” Last year, the gala attracted 325 patrons. Starting in 1999, the gala, the foundation’s largest fundraiser has earned more than $550,000 in donations. The foundation, founded in 1983, supports the hospital in Lebanon and the Boone County health system, Preston said. The foundation provides money for training and equipment to further the goals of the system. Last year, some of our donations went to our extended care unit,” Preston said. “In the past, we’ve helped purchase a new MRI, our new hyperbaric oxygen chamber. We also do education loans for people in the community and our employees.” Like many other nonprofits, the Witham

Health tips for summer air travel Commentary by David Pletzer, MD With summer travel season approaching, many families are planning air travel to favorite destinations. While traveling body by plane is convenient, there are some health concerns to keep in mind for a more enjoyable trip. Keep germs at bay. You’re much more likely to catch a cold on an airplane than other places due to the close quarters and stale air. To help protect against germs, avoid grabbing seat backs when walking down the aisle, and use a paper towel when opening the plane’s bathroom door. Use hand sanitizer often while on board and in airports. Also bring your own pillow if you plan to sleep on the plane. Stay hydrated. To combat dry air, be sure to drink plenty of water before boarding the plane and during the flight. Alcohol and caffeine are dehydrating, so avoid both while flying. Using a saline nasal spray before the flight can help prevent mucus membranes from becoming too dry. Protect your ears. Changes in cabin air pressure can cause ear pain, especially in children. During takeoff and landing, offer an infant the breast or a bottle to encourage swallowing, which helps keep the eustachian
tubes open. Chewing gum, yawning or swallowing are good remedies for older children and adults to avoid ear discomfort. Bring healthy snacks. Snacks available for purchase or provided by airlines can be full of fat, extra calories and sugar. Consider bringing your own food on the plane. Lean turkey on whole-wheat bread and veggie pita are good choices and will ensure you have something substantial in your stomach to help prevent motion sickness. Fresh fruit and almonds are easy to pack in carry-on luggage. Minimize jet lag. If you’re flying across time zones, normal body rhythms can be disturbed, resulting in physical symptoms such as fatigue, irritability, headaches, gastrointestinal issues and inability to sleep. Jet lag only lasts a day or two, but to help relieve symptoms, drink plenty of water during the flight, eat small high-protein, low-fat meals and consider adjusting your sleep schedule for a few days before your trip. David Pletzer, MD, specializes in family medicine. He is a guest columnist located at IU Health Physicians Primary Care – Allisonville, 11530 Allisonville Road, Ste. 190, in Fishers. He can be reached by calling the office at 678-3850.

‘Bereft’ or ‘bereaved?’ Commentary by Jordan Fischer I heard something on the national news this week that sent me on a confusing journey of grammatical grammar guy discovery. I’ll confess to not knowing the exact context of the statement, because there were a lot of TVs going and I wasn’t really paying attention to any of them, but I did catch an anchor say this: “… the bereft family …” “That should be ‘bereaved,’ shouldn’t it?” I thought. And then I thought, “I can get Steve and Brian to pay me to write about this.” Thus, here we are. “Bereaved” is, as I thought, the accepted past participle and adjectival form of the word “bereave” – to be “deprived of a loved one through a profound absence,” especially death. In a etymological tidbit sure to please the “Firefly” fans out there, the word “bereave” originates from the English and Scottish “reavers,” who, according to the Oxford English Dictionaries, got their name from the verb “reave” (and, more to the point, their penchant for “reaving,” or plundering, each other’s
land).”Bereft” is, Oxford says, the archaic past participle of “bereaved.” That’s all well and good, except we still say “bereft;” its primary definition being “deprived of or lacking something, especially a nonmaterial asset.” OK, so, “bereaved” is for those mourning the dead, and “bereft” is for those missing something nonmaterial, like humor (you know, like a Steve Harvey joke). But, annoyingly enough, Oxford still includes a second definition for “bereft:” a person “lonely and abandoned, especially through someone’s death or departure.” Come on! My two cents: “Bereaved” is specifically used when you are deprived of a loved one, through death or otherwise, so let’s keep it that way. “Bereft” can be used for other situations, like a wall with no decorations or chili with no noodles (It’s just not the same! I’m looking at you, Texas.).

Basilica Cistern in Istanbul, Turkey (Photo by Don Knebel)
Istanbul’s underground forest Commentary by Don Knebel
After the Western Roman Empire collapsed in the late fifth century, the Eastern Empire remained a center grammar guy of culture and learning. When Justinian I became Eastern Emperor in 527 A.D., he set about adding to the grandeur of his capital in Constantinople, now called Istanbul. The magnificent church of Hagia Sophia was one of many enduring achievements of Justinian’s reign. Another was an underground reservoir built to supply water to what was then the world’s largest city, with a population of 500,000. Reportedly built by 7,000 slaves, the Basilica Cistern, named for its location under the Stoa Basilica, is 453 feet long and 212 feet wide. Its 30-feet high ceiling is supported by 336 marble and granite columns arranged in 12 rows of 28, with each group of four columns supporting an arched cross vault. With 13-feet thick brick walls covered with water-resistant mortar, the reservoir could store more than 21 million gallons of water. The water, transported via
aqueduct from a forest near the Black Sea, was distributed to Constantinople palaces and other buildings through a series of pipes. The varying capital styles suggest that the columns were spoliated from pagan temples around the Empire. Two columns in the northwest corner are supported on stone pedestals bearing the carved image of snakehaired Medusa, one upside down and one on its side. Some believe these orientations were intended to cancel out the effects of Medusa’s petrifying gaze, but exactly why such mythological features were placed in a structure commissioned by a Christian emperor remains a mystery. Another column bears an image of eyes and tears, said to memorialize the slaves who died during construction. The Basilica Cistern was rediscovered in 1545 A.D. when people in Istanbul were observed fishing though holes in the ground. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP.

Getting the perfect retro-fit deck Commentary by Randy Sorrell The immediate decision fueling an incredible outdoor living space is imagining what the actual living Outdoor living surface will be. The typical “defaultâ€? response is a brick paver patio. But there are plenty of other sexy materials and textures to consider. Often, the physical location will strongly influence the material palate, especially with elevated spaces. RETRO-FIT The featured deck is a fantastic example of that. It’s unrealistic to construct a paver patio 12’ off grade. So, a new deck is born ‌ or, re-born. Retro-fit best describes this incredibly livable space. The previous pressure treated pine decking was tired and pleading to be replaced with something fresh. The sub-structure remained. We considered all the alternatives from premium pressure treated pine, cedar, composite / synthetic materials to ipe, a beautiful / insanely expensive Brazilian hardwood. The cost structure can guide that decision and is listed above from least to most expensive. Maintenance costs are a prompt cost equalizer, however.

Western cedar decking was selected because of its warmth and natural built in preservatives that helps resist decay and insects (resist, not prevent). This Carmel home’s woodsy setting encouraged a material that would reflect the comfortably natural lifestyle afforded. SPINDLES / RAILING Opening the views to the lower expansive lawn that subtly merges into the woods and stream was critical. So, we employed a common solution with black aluminum spindles that seem to disappear. Stainless steel cables as vertical or horizontal members and tempered glass panels are other creative solutions we’ve ambitiously designed / installed. Contrary to popular believe, decks are NOT going out of vogue. In fact, we see a resurgence of decks and when properly designed, they can be the best solution for your families’ luxury outdoor living space. Enjoy spring and escape to your outdoors.

Dispatch Arbor Day - As the nation celebrated National Arbor Day, many property owners are now thinking of planting trees. To lessen confusion on choosing the right tree, consider these tips: 1. Determine the purpose of the tree. Will it be used for shade, ornamental display, fruit, screening, or windbreak? 2. Check with the local agricultural office to find out what types of trees are most suitable or appropriate for your area, or visit the Tree Wizard on the Arbor Day Foundation’s. 3. Decide on the best size and shape of tree that will best fit the landscape. Remember that while a tree is small at first, they may grow and become too large for a space over time. 4. Review the moisture requirements of the tree. If the area is prone to drought, select trees that don’t need a lot of water. 5. Have the pH levels of the soil tested. Then, find trees that fit the pH levels for the area. 6. Choose trees that meet the level of sunshine in your area. 7. Weigh the pros and cons of Deciduous (shed leaves seasonally) versus Coniferous (evergreen) tree. Source: The Grounds Guys
