Out of the Darkness raises suicide awareness By Navar Watson • news@currentnoblesville.com

Suicide is the 10th-leading cause of death in the United States, yet when Lisa Brattain’s 19-year-old son Kurt died in 2006, there were few resources for survivors of suicide loss. “There was no way to connect with other mental health people that had experienced something similar,” Brattain, of Noblesville, said. “We all do better when we find ‘our people,’ and there was no way to find our people.” In 2007, Brattain founded the Indiana chapter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and now directs the Ohio chapter, too. In 2007, there were only 22 chapters nationwide. Now there are 77. On Sept. 12, the local chapter will host an Out of the Darkness walk in Indianapolis to promote awareness and raise money for research on mental illness and depression. The walk comes at the end of National Suicide Prevention Week and two days after World Suicide Prevention Day. There will be various resources for anyone who has contemplated suicide or thinks a loved one has. AFSP offers programs teaching people the warning signs of suicide and the right words to use when discussing the subject. One of the biggest myths of suicide, Brattain said, is “if you talk about (it), you’ll cause it to happen.” This is “completely untrue.” Instead, lack of communication and information perpetuates stigma, judgment and shame surrounding the topic. “We always avoid things we’re afraid of, but if we’re prepared, we’re not afraid of it,” Brattain said. “Stigma can only exist in the absence of knowledge.” Several suicides have been prevented, Brattain said, because one person decided to ask the victim how he or she felt. AFSP also educates people on the severity of mental illnesses, which like other illnesses, need professional attention. “Mental illness is an illness,” Brattain said. “Your brain is another organ and it can get ill just like any other part of your body. And it doesn’t go away on it’s own.” About 150 people attended the Indianapolis walk in Brattain’s first year. Last year, 2,500 participated in the Indianapolis walk and more than 6,000 participated in walks across the state.

Half of the money raised goes directly to research on mental illnesses. The other half supports AFSP’s training programs and awareness events. Raising money is especially important to Brattain after she learned of the discrepancy between funding in research for suicide versus breast cancer, even though the death rates are nearly equal. In 2006, $32 million was spent on research for depression and suicide as opposed to hundreds of millions for breast cancer. Brattain’s biggest advice to people learning about suicide is to research the warning signs and “don’t be afraid to ask.” “Assume you’re the only person that’s going to ask,” Brattain said. “Because if you’re waiting for somebody else to do it, that somebody else may never come along.” Registration for the Out of the Darkness walk begins at 1:30 p.m. Sept. 12 and the opening ceremony starts an hour later. The walk is free, though there are various fundraising incentives during the day. Resources are available at afsp.org. The suicide prevention lifeline is 1-800-273-8255.

Are Your Kids Getting What They Need in School? As a parent, you are your child's first and most important teacher. You know your child best, and your input should be considered by the school at every opportunity. Parents frequently do not know what their children's rights are in terms of the education and services offered by the schools, and they often can feel intimidated by school staffs. Your child has the right to a free appropriate public education under federal law. If you suspect that your child may have a disability, let your child’s school know. Parents have the right to be involved with every decision regarding their child’s education, including whether your child may need special education services. If your child is struggling behaviorally or academically, his school may be required to do an evaluation to see if he qualifies for special services. Trust your instincts: you know your child best. The worst thing to do is nothing. If you wait to seek help for your child, his frustration and sense of failure could continue to break down his self-esteem, while the window of time for meaningful intervention narrows. Each child qualifying for services are required by federal law to receive an Individualized Education Program, or IEP. IEPs are put together by a team of school staff and schools are required by law to include parents in this process. However, parents often feel as though they have little input to their child’s IEP because they are unaware of what their child’s rights are. This can have a serious impact and their child's progress can be impaired by a lack of knowledge. "What we have is what you get" is not what the federal and state laws provide. Schools receiving federal funding are required, by law, to devise an IEP for each child qualified for services based on that child's individual needs (not on the school's staffing or budget problems) that is reasonably calculated to confer a

meaningful educational benefit. Anything less than that does not comply with the federal law, and is actionable through a due process proceeding. Examples of how schools commit violations: • Failure to find a child eligible for services despite evidence that the child was struggling academically or behaviorally. • Failure to develop an appropriate IEP based on the child's individual needs. • Failure to implement the IEP as written. • Failure to involve parents to meaningfully participate in the IEP development process. • Failure to prevent punishment of the child for actions or inactions that are manifestations of the child's disability (caused by the child's disability). • Failure to train staff and aides in the child's areas of disability. • Predetermining placement and services before the case conference committee meeting. • Failure to conduct necessary evaluations of the child. • Failure to provide education and services in the least restrictive environment. • Failure to offer extended school year services to the child. • Failure to allow a child with special needs to participate in extracurricular activities to the same extent as his non-disabled peers. At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., our team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs. If you have questions or concerns regarding divorce, custody, support, or any other family law concerns contact our firm at 317.DIVORCE or visit our website at www.hzlegal.com.

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

Guerin Catholic High School junior cheerleader Sarah Downing wasn’t sure about auditioning during the cheerleading Universal Cheerleading Association summer camp for a chance to march in London’s New Year’s Day parade. Downing, 16, Westfield, was attending the camp with her Guerin teammates in July at Anderson University. On the last day of the camp, tryouts were offered. “At first I was a little nervous because I wasn’t sure what All-American was,” she said. “But one of my coaches talked about it more and I got more interested and thought I would give it a shot.” Downing was selected and will be one of more than 650 high school cheerleaders and dancers from around the country who will represent Varsity Spirit. “I’m really excited to see London’s landmarks and to march in the parade with my fellow All-Americans,” said Downing of the seven-day stay.

“I’m a little nervous, but I know I’ll be well taken care of by Varsity (Spirit).” Downing, a varsity cheerleader for football and basketball, began cheering in fourth grade at Saint Maria Goretti School. Just the top 12 percent of more than 325,000 cheerleaders who attend the 5,000 varsity summer camp sessions earn the chance. More than 20 countries will be participating.

Dog whisperer: Bruce McNabb trains dogs, and their owners By Suzan Davis • news@currentnoblesville.com Bruce McNabb, Noblesville, is patriarch of his family-owned training, boarding and breeding facility, First Friend K9 in Fishers. His demeanor is a mixture of disciplinarian, educapet tor, drill-sergeant and dog whisperer. Like a tireless triathlete, he marches around for an hour, drenched in sweat, in a room loaded with 25 breeds of dogs and 25 breeds of owners. McNabb’s motto is, “avoid avoidance.” Good advice. Orientation, the first of the eight-week class schedule, lasts three hours without the dog. Owners realize the pet is not the only one under new management – it’s the entire family. Handlers exit with clear expectations and abundant information – like 25 toxic people foods, potentially lethal pet toys and chews and a manual of the skills plus advice like never lose your temper and never give up.

“Watching the growth and transformation from the first night to graduation, and seeing the confidence in the owners as their dogs respond to them, is very rewarding,” McNabb

said. “I realize my regimented training style is not for everyone at first, but in order to train 25 people and 25 dogs, I must be focused, consistent and detail-oriented.” Mini-golden doodle Penny, owned by Westfield’s Chuck and Nikki Pulfer, is among the 25 new students. McNabb trained Pulfer’s boyhood dog 15 years ago. “I appreciate his straight-forward style,” said Nikki. “Twentyfive dogs obey with lots of distractions. Bruce’s knowledge is incredible. I love that he demonstrates new techniques with different dogs from the class.” Classes have assistant trainers, closely monitoring the group. The transformation from chaos to calm happens quickly. “I was intimidated at first with so many dogs, the responsibility and the work. After the first four weeks, that turned into self-confidence,” Neary said. “Without Bruce, I would continue to live in fear of walking my dog and having my parents’ house torn apart. Like the treat bag we wear in class says, “You’ll love a trained dog!” I can truly say, ‘I love my trained dog.’”

Project Lifesaver aims to return those who wander back to their families By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Taking care of a family member with special needs is difficult, whether it be Alzheimer’s, dementia, Downs Syndrome cover story or autism. The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Department aims to make life easier for affected families with their nonprofit corporation, Project Lifesaver. Some of those who have special needs are prone to wander. They might drift away from home and get lost, sparking fear both in themselves and family members. Project Lifesaver uses radio frequencies and wristbands — worn around the wrist or ankle on those who are prone to stray — to help locate loved ones once they’ve gone missing. “When a client goes missing, we tell the family that the first thing to always do is dial 911,” said David McCormick, public relations coordinator of Project Lifesaver in Hamilton County since 2009. “They call 911 and we respond with the standard police and fire response. They come out and set up an area around the house where the individual was and we turn on the receiver.” To sign up for Project Lifesaver, a family member contacts McCormick and, once an ap-

pointment is set up, the family begins a 10-page application process. McCormick said nobody has ever been denied from the program, and they go out to the families and show the client and other family members how the transmitter works. For Hamilton County residents, the transmitting device is free. A fundraiser, Summer Bash, raises money for Project Lifesaver to provide families with the materials needed. “By doing (the fundraiser), we can provide this to all the residents of Hamilton County at no cost,” McCormick said. When someone goes missing, the police, fire and K-9 units come out with a receiver and a frequency that matches the client’s transmitter. “Once they are out there looking and they pick up a signal, they can fine tune the receiver,” McCormick said. The signal from the receiver can pick up the transmitter frequency from about half a mile to three quarters of a mile away on level ground. If in the air, the receiver can pick up the transmitter from seven to 15 miles. “If we don’t find the client in 10 minutes, we call StatFlight and they immediately put a helicopter in the air to help us look,” McCormick said.

Since the establishment of Project Lifesaver in 2009, it has helped locate clients five times. All incidents occurred in Fishers. Most recently, volunteers from the program located a client from Fishers on Aug. 28 in just 33 minutes. “I think it helps since the fire departments are strategically located around the community,” said Adam Herrington a captain with the Carmel Fire Department. “It also provides for a fast response and time obviously matters, especially in a case of persons with autism or Alzheimer’s that have no sense of danger and tend to wander away. So getting there quickly and using the technology to quickly and safely locate them is key.” This year’s Summer Bash fundraiser is from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 12, and includes a car show, poker run, auction and shirt sales at the Hamilton County 4-H Fairgrounds. “By doing our fundraiser, that’s how we can provide this whole program. The transmitter by itself is $325 and if a family loses it, we don’t question them, we just automatically replace it,” McCormick said. To learn more, visit projectlifesaver.com. To sign up a family member to be a part of Project Lifesaver, call McCormick at 776-6757.

READERS ’ V I E W

Reader mirrors Terry Anker Terry, I enjoyed reading your commentary this evening entitled, “No Pain: Right of Passage” (Aug. 18) and appreciated you questioning about whether we can choose to live a life without pain. I know of no way we can avoid pain in our lives, but how we deal with the pain has as much to do with whether the experience will leave a permanent scar, or strengthen one’s character. Psalm 13 is a wonderful psalm of lament. In fact, the psalm expresses the raw emotions of one who is in the depths of a painful and hopeless situation with no answer or remedy. However, even in the midst of their plea, the psalmist realizes, or acknowledges, that

they can turn to their Lord, who is trustworthy and has dealt bountifully with them in the past. I heard preached that the journey from fury to faith has to go through lament and in that moment the person’s helplessness is their greatest prayer to God. Lament primes us to experience our greatest moments by allowing our human impotence to come across Godly impotence. While no one intentionally seeks out painful experiences, I know the power that lament has in increasing my faith and making me into a more courageous man. Chris Johnson, Chief of Staff Indiana Family Social Services Administration

Commentary by Terry Anker

Plumbing disaster Commentary by Danielle Wilson We recently experienced a plumbing catastrophe here at Chez Wilson. We’ve had “issues” with our main floor toilet for some time. In fact, just last spring I had to take a day off work after my husband had a virtual geyser of filth erupt in his face an hour before a big meeting. The plumber declared that a major blockage in the sewer line was the culprit, but it had cleared of its own accord and all was well. Flash forward to this Sunday morning. When I left the house for a bike ride, Doo was just settling down to a cup of coffee, some local news and plans for a productive day. When I arrived back two hours later, the poo had hit the fan. Literally. Due to yet another blockage, raw sewage had overflowed out of the bathroom and into the back hallway and our oldest son’s newly-carpeted room. It had also seeped down into the air vents where it

proceeded to drip out of the light fixtures into our finished basement, right onto an heirloom pool table. Doo had managed the worst of it – the house smelled of Clorox rather than eau de Port-O-let and there were only a few “chunks” left on the floorboards – but was in such a state that all I could do was laugh. Finally! A major household calamity on his watch! For once, he’d had to find every towel in the house to sop up the sludge. He’d had to race downstairs with garbage cans and garage-only buckets to collect the leaks. And he’d had to phone the plumber and give up his morning to wait out the fourhour service call window. It was wonderful! Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist. You may e-mail her at danielle@currentincarmel.com.

Q U O T E  O F  T HE  W EEK I have found the best way to give advice to your children is to find out what they want and then advise them to do it. – Harry S. Truman

Left without alternative, human beings can be tremendously resourceful. When the Soviet empire, touted as a marvel of socialist perfection and central planning, collapsed – people managed. Certainly, it was frightening. Actually, frightening is an understatement. There was some crime, but there had always been criminals. This time, international media was allowed to broadcast the activity globally. There were some very tough outcomes. The weak, infirm and elderly were forced to rely even more upon the kindness of friends and relatives. To some, caring for those folks is an important moral obligation to give – and to others, it is an excessive expectation to be burdened with the need of someone else. But, millions did not starve. Millions did not die of disease. Millions figured out how to survive and, in some cases, thrive in a new economic order. Without the massive government redistribution they had relied upon for generations, many picked up the pieces and improved their lives by gigantic leaps. For example, business interests in the Ukraine felt the pressure of increasing wages, surging access to capital goods and the inflation that can accompany an expanding economy. Those willing and able to adapt took advantage of the newly released opportunity. Those unable to function outside of the government-imposed cocoon had to find other means. Families learned to care for their own. Thousands of children escaped warehouse orphanages into the loving embrace of parents around the world. Sure, not every single person was a winner, and some took too great of advantage. Yet, the same was said about the previous system. Only now, we could openly find out about it. The Soviets discovered that the drag coefficient of big government is, well, a big drag. As Putin pushes back toward the Soviet era, we wonder who will win now.

Bonnett returns to stage at Civic Theatre

Carmel native has lead role in Little Women, The Broadway Musical By Sam Elliott • news@currentnoblesville.com Carmel’s Julia Bonnett is making a return to musical theater playing the lead role in one of her favorite shows as she’ll portray Jo March in the Civic Theatre’s performance upcoming production of “Little Women, The Broadway Musical.” The show opens Friday, Sept. 11, and runs through Saturday, Sept. 26, at the Tarkington. The chance to play a character special to her in one of her favorite shows was enough to make Bonnett break what had become a two-year hiatus from performing arts. “This is the first show I’ve done in two years. I haven’t done a show in a long time,” the 2009 Carmel High School grad said. “I lived in New York for a year and didn’t perform out there. I worked for NBC in their video archives, which was really cool, but my lifestyle didn’t really lend to any performing. I’ve been Hoosier Park – Hoosier Park Racing and Casino will be hosting several live music events this fall, including: Little Texas on Sept. 25, Molly Hatchet on Oct. 23 and Mickey Dolenz Nov. 6. For more, visit hoosierpark.com.

back in Carmel for over a year now and I just wanted to get settled again before I did anything.” When she heard the Civic Theatre decided on “Little Women, The Broadway Musical”, Bonnett decided she was plenty settled. “’Little Women (The Broadway Musical)’ is one of my favorite shows because the music is so beautiful. I don’t think it’s a show that a lot of people know outside of the musical theater community, but the music is gorgeous,” Bonnett said. “It’s some of my favorite music, so when I heard the Civic was doing it I just had to audition.” She landed the lead role, one originated by Tony winner Sutton Foster — Bonnett’s idol in the profession who also originated another role special to Bonnett. “Actually, the opening show here at the Tarkinton for Civic was ‘The Drowsy Chaperone’ and I played Janet Van De Graaf — Sutton Foster originated that role of Janet and she also originated the role of Jo in ‘Little Women (The Broadway Musical)’, which is kind of cool,” Bonnett said. “She’s really what made this show so successful, just because she’s amazing. I’m a big fangirl of Sutton Foster.”

Apple store at Conner Prairie – The apple store at Connor Prairie in Fishers opened for the apple season Sept. 1. This is the 30th year of the apple store at Connor Prairie. For more information, visit connerprairie.org.

In portraying Jo March, Bonnett plays an aspiring Civil Warera writer with three sisters. It’s a character somewhat biographical of the 1869 classic’s author, Louisa May Alcott. “It’s the type of character that is so different and is so against the norm of that time. Her sisters are getting married, trying to be in society and Jo is not interested in any of that,” Bonnett said. “All she wants is to write her stories, become a famous writer and stay with her sisters forever. The story is essentially about growing up and realizing that your dreams don’t necessarily come true, but it’s the path that matters. “For me personally, this character is an important figure because she’s a feminist and she’s a great example for girls of any age who are different than what’s expected,” she added. “I love the character. I think she’s fantastic.” Active in Carmel High School’s performing arts during her time there, Bonnett was in top show choir the Ambassadors and starred in a number of CHS stage productions.

WHERE WILL THIS SEAT TAKE YOU?

Take your temp at game time By Joe Drozda and Bob Bley

“A LOVELY STORY, FULL OF CHARM” – NEW YORK POST

SEPTEMBER 11 - 26 Little Women, the family friendly Broadway musical based on Louisa May Alcott’s classic novel, is coming to Civic Theatre! And as if that isn’t exciting enough, when you buy three or more tickets to Little Women, you’ll get a free ticket to Civic’s Sound of Music sing-a-long in February!

Most high school games are played in the evening after school. This time of year that means a cooler temperature. College and NFL games are played at mid-day, afternoon, as well as evenings, so temperatures can range from cool to hot to cold. It’s important to consider the forecasted temperature to plan a tailgate party because one just wouldn’t serve hot spicy chili in 90-degree weather any more than he or she would serve cucumber salad in the snow. To date we have focused on warm weather menu items. This time of the year, it will be OK to get out the grill and prepare some hot items. According to our survey, the most desired tailgate item is a sandwich made of a sausage (brat, Italian or even a hot dog) on a bun. It’s popular because it’s not only tasty, but it’s also easy to eat. One doesn’t need a fork or even a plate to enjoy a sandwich. Since tailgaters most often want to go all-out for their party, the favorite item we see is the bratwurst or Italian sausage on a fancy bun. Sausage sandwiches You’ll have to search far and wide to find a better tasting sausage than this one. It is so juicy that the first bite requires a napkin, close to the mouth, just to catch the delicious juices that gush out! Remember to never break the skin of a bratwurst or Italian sausage with anything but your teeth. Ingredients: 2 pkgs. of Johnsonville Original (not cooked) bratwurst or Italian sausage, 2 cans (12 oz.) or bottles of beer, 1 large onion chopped coarsely, 10 sausage rolls, French’s Classic yellow mustard, Other items needed, 1 pair clean white cotton work gloves, aluminum disposable baking pan

Preparation the night before: Carefully place the sausages into a deep pot. Add the chopped onion and enough beer to cover them. (Drink the rest of the beer as you work). Be gentle with the sausages so that the skin (casing) is not ever broken (use no tongs or forks). Cook the sausages and onion at a simmer for 20 minutes. Remove the sausages, beer and onion from the heat and let them cool. Take the sausages out of the liquid and place them in a resealable plastic bag. Pour the liquid into a resealable bag as well. Refrigerate the meat and liquid until cooking at your tailgate. Preparation on game day: Place the aluminum pan on your heated grill and add the beer and onion liquid and some freshly chopped peppers. Place your sausages on the grill and gently turn them with gloves (no tongs please). As the sausages brown, serve them on a bun slathered in mustard or place them, on hold, in the aluminum pan until needed. Joe Drozda is the author of “The Tailgater’s Handbook” is considered as the “Father of American Tailgating.” His web site is tailgatershandbook.com. He is a resident of Hamilton County.

Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Clean mushrooms with a damp paper towel. Carefully break off stems. Chop stems extremely fine, discarding tough end of stems. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and chopped mushroom stems to the skillet. Fry until any moisture has disappeared, taking care not to burn garlic. Set aside to cool.

Using a little spoon, fill each mushroom cap with a generous amount of stuffing. Arrange the mushroom caps on prepared cookie sheet. Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the mushrooms are piping hot and liquid starts to form under caps.

Oliver Winery debuts new ‘Bubblecraft’ wine By Joseph Knoop news@currentnoblesville.com

Oliver Winery, the oldest and largest winery in Indiana, will debut its new “Bubblecraft” red and white one-tank trip wines this month, serving a sparkling new taste to Indiana wine enthusiasts looking to break out of the house for something new. For Hamilton and Boone Co. residents, a trip to Oliver Winery is a onetank getaway to take this fall. “Our winemaking philosopy is to make wines that capture the flavors of good fruit,” president and director of winemaking Bill Oliver said. “I’m really intrigued by the effect of carbon dioxide on flavors. I once had this chemist in a flavor lab get so fired up about it and it just made such an impression on me.” Oliver describes the Bubblecraft sparkling

wine as “lighter and charming” with a reduced sense of sweetness. One other major factor in the decision to move forward with Bubblecraft’s creation was the upswing in sparkling wine sales throughout the U.S. According to the Nielsen Company, sparkling wine sold six percent more than previous years in 2014, for sales totaling more than $900 million. Oliver Winery holds daily wine tastings and weekend tours of the facility and cellar, where visitors will be able to sample the Soft Red Bubblecraft, the Soft White Bubblecraft and other wines for $5. Tours are free and provided every half hour. Bubblecraft wine will be made available in nine states this fall, including Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky. Both wines are being sold for $10.99 a bottle. For more, visit oliverwinery. com. Oliver Winery is at 8024 North State Road 37, Bloomington, Ind.

The health organization says it is actively working on a strategy for longterm growth, which could improve overall accessibility and day-to-day functionality.

The strategy will include and solve issues for immediate needs for additional outpatient services to Noblesville and surrounding communities. The hospital has outlined three points they wish to take on first: • Provide additional outpatient space for physicians and patients • Determine how to improve parking to best serve the needs of patients • Development a clear entrance for pa-

tients to enter the main campus building The organization said development of these priorities must provide: • Visibility: Ability for the community to easily see hospital structures and services • Accessibility: Ease of way-finding for patients and visitors • Connectivity: Ease of mobility from the hospital to other campus structures • Consistent branding: Integration of new structures into the design of existing structures on campus As a county-owned organization, Riverview Health is asking for the input of the community through a public survey. The survey will help to guide architects during their design and planning processes. The survey consists of 17 multiple choice and fill-in-the-blank questions about parking, ability to locate indoor and outdoor amenities, the pharmacy and safety. To take part in the survey, please visit riverview.org/publicsurvey.

“MASSIVE” is an accurate description of a recent Carmel deck project. As well as “livable,” “stunning” creative spaces and “incredible retreat!” The immediate feedback is as we hoped. The joyful homeowners are commenting how it has dramatically changed how they live. If it’s nice outside, they are outside appreciating all that life has to offer. Sitting at the table, in the hot tub, or nestled in a private lounging area, the options are ambitious. It’s an imaginative discussion we have often and most of our designs are driven towards that thriving objective. Materials We employed a diverse set of materials to pull the project together. Premium pressure treated pine was selected for the decking. Today’s premium pine is NOT the tired material that has been used for decades. Its thicker girth commands a beefier feel under foot. It has a low propensity for splintering or warping and there are minimal knots. A sleek handrail is contrasted with black aluminum spindles that seem to disappear, a

critical feature for this leafy backyard landscape that we were fortunate to impact with long curvilinear lines and large swathes of groundcover. Steps are wide, deep, generous and rooted with a formal blue stone landing at the lawn under mature hemlocks. Hot tub, privacy, pergola The pictured hot tub is resting in the side retreat area with stately lounge chairs nearby for the ultimate in relaxation. A simple, but elegant, privacy panel was constructed to command immediate intimacy and blends well with the rest of the space. Notice the pergola growing over a transition living space? Premium cedar was used with serious dimensioned lumber to help tame the mid-afternoon sun. The pergola helps drive the “sense of space” that’s imperative with large patios and decks and serves as the ceiling in the outdoor room. Simply stunning!

Get the most out of your kitchen island Commentary by David Decker The modern kitchen fulfills many different roles. It’s a family gathering place, a house party hotspot, a homeindoor living work help center, a storage headquarters and a five-star restaurant. For many homeowners, the functionality of a kitchen begins with a well-designed island. Islands are ideal for a variety of kitchen tasks, including cooking, baking, cleanup, storage, informal dining, entertaining party guests and more. First, you’ll want to decide what you are going to use the island for most frequently and use those functions to devise your design and storage plan. For example, if you would like to use the island as a food prep station, include outlets for small appliances, a prep sink and storage for cooking utensils such as cutting boards, knives and mixing bowls. If you are using the island as a dining area, make sure the countertop height is designed to fit standard chairs or stools. The island should be crafted to fit your utilitarian needs. Because most islands require quite a bit of space, it’s important to strategically plan your design. You may want to select a move-

able island instead of a built-in, stationary one. Be sure to select an island size and style that won’t overwhelm your kitchen. To get the most out of every square inch of your kitchen island, you’ll want an effective cabinetry design. Creating more built-in storage means your island will appear more spacious, inviting and tidy. Within your cabinetry, try installing lazy susans, pullout shelves, or deep drawers to maximize the space. The key to creating a savvy kitchen island

is planning. Use every square inch effectively and you’ll be surprised at how your kitchen space can be transformed.

Smoke Sauna on a farm in Finland. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Finnish saunas: The naked truth Commentary by Don Knebel

For residents of Finland, the sauna is the perfect place for many of life’s most important activities — from baking and travel bathing to building businesses and birthing babies. A Finnish proverb says, “First build the sauna; then the house.” As a result, Finland — with a population of about 5 million, — erects half of all the world’s saunas and has more saunas than automobiles. But for foreigners, Finnish sauna traditions can be a little unnerving. The earliest Finnish saunas, developed hundreds of years ago, were constructed without chimneys, allowing smoke to fill the building as the burning wood heated the stones on which water is then poured. Many Finns still prefer these so-called “smoke saunas,” particularly for special occasions. Participants emerging from a smoke sauna may be covered from head to toe with greasy soot, which many believe has therapeutic properties. Finnish sauna users traditionally swat themselves with leafy young birch twigs, a practice they believe increases blood circulation and makes

the experience more beneficial and enjoyable. Even in winter, participants often jump into the nearest lake or pond after sweating in the hot sauna and then return for more. Like Americans asking people to join them for lunch, Finns often ask friends and business associates to join them in the sauna. Finns usually sit in the nude on their hard sauna benches and consider requests to wear a bathing suit at least a faux pas and perhaps an insult. Finnish men and women sometimes sauna together, as do families. They insist that the experience is never sexual because their saunas are sacred places, where swearing and even arguing are taboo. “Sauna,” which Finns pronounce “SOW nuh,” is the only Finnish word to enter the world’s vocabulary. If you are invited to a Finnish sauna, say the word correctly and leave your modesty behind. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP.

Have people become objects? Commentary by Jordan Fischer Question: “Dear Grammar Guy. Over the past few years I have increasingly heard the word ‘that’ used grammar guy in place of the word ‘who.’ Example: ‘The people that work for us.’ I even hear this on national radio programs. What do you think of that?” – (Anne Eisinger) Answer: Thanks for the question, Anne. It’s a subject I’ve touched on before, but definitely one worth revisiting. You are right to cringe when the word “that” is used to refer to a person (or animal … my cat would be the first to tell you she’s no “that”). When talking about a person, use the relative pronoun “who” or the object pronoun “whom,” if appropriate. The word “that” gets a lot of hate in writerly circles because it tends to be unnecessary. Consider what, if anything, is lost between, “He said that it would be all right,” and, “He said it would be all right.” That being said (see what I did there?),

there are occasions when “that” is both appropriate and necessary. For your convenience, here are three simple rules to help clear things up: Use “who” when talking about people. Use “that” when talking about objects or groups and introducing an essential clause. Use “which” when talking about objects or groups and introducing a non-essential clause. I’ve previously done a series of columns about clauses, so if you need a refresher course on the difference between an essential and nonessential clause, you can brush up with an old Grammar Guy at www.currentincarmel.com. As always, I wouldn’t be able to do what I do without ongoing support and questions from readers, so please keep doing what you do and sending them my way! Jordan Fischer is a contributing columnist for Current Publishing. To ask Jordan a grammar question, write him at rjfische@ gmail.com.

Stepping on Legos — If you’ve ever stepped on a Lego, you’ve probably experienced a surprising amount of pain for such a small object. But why? Legos are engineered to be exceptionally durable. A 2x4 brick is designed to withstand more than 900 pounds of force. When you step on a Lego brick, you don’t weigh enough to make it give at all — which is why it hurts so much.
