McKinney responded in writing to the In January, the county council voted to council that he found Plankis to be a “selfnominate Ron Thomas for the commission serving and pompous individual” because instead of retaining Joe Plankis.

McKinney said that the decision to stand by In February, the county council decided to stick Thomas shows independence. by its nomination of Thomas, even if it “If the county council backtracks on this meant the commission was left with only issue, then it will scream loud and clear two members. to all other entities and the public that “In my 18 years on the council it’s never we have no backbone and are jellyfish,” ever been an issue.

DVD Review - Gravity Despite being only 91 minutes long, “Gravity” is a bona fide cinematic epic, a film with a big story and jaw-dropping special effects. Story-wise, it’s essentially just a tale of survival. Ryan Stone (Bullock) and George Clooney are the only two left alive when their shuttle and the telescope are destroyed, and must make a desperate attempt to reach a nearby station before it, too, is turned to fragments.

City of Westfield. I think that’s exactly why the law is written like it is. With the success we’re having over here, I want to keep my team in place.”

The commission is not overly active and meets infrequently, according to Cook and McKinney.

“Maybe once in the last four years,” McKinney said. “It’s not like it’s a very busy body. … I don’t understand why the mayor is making such a fuss.”

“It’s not all that active, but to me Westfield’s economic development is in high gear right now,” Cook said. “Our economic development is evident by building permits, filings with the plan commission, rise in assessed value last year for the first time since the recession and reduction of the city’s property tax by 4 cents (from 84 cents to 80 cents per $100 assessed value). Why would I want to make any changes in the economic development crew?”

Attorneys from Hamilton County and Westfield have met to discuss the situation. McKinney said attorneys have agreed the council makes the nomination and the mayor approves appointments.

“The sticking point is where do we go from here?

If he wants to have a two-person commission so be it. We’ll stay the course with Ron,” McKinney said. “There’s no verbage that he can reject nominations.”

Cook disputes that.

“According to the law, the county council makes a nomination to me. The mayor appoints, the county council does not appoint,” he said. “The county council needs to huddle and renominate. That’s what I’ve asked them to do.”

McKinney said the “mountain out a molehill” issue has become a contested point between the two governing bodies.

“The City of Westfield has asked the county for a lot of help in a lot of issues,” he said. “The mayor is straining relationships by dragging this out. He’s not earning any good will by doing this.”

Cook, however, said he believes he must do his job and not worry about potential political backlash.

“My job is to do what’s best for the city. I don’t think that’s going to upset the county council at all,” he said.

Building better relationships

By Lauren Olsen • news@currentinwestfield.com The Westfield Business Development Group and Westfield Chamber of Commerce hosted their first collaborative meeting business to help promote new business relationships in the city at Union Baking Co. on Feb. 19.

The 8 a.m. meeting saw a turnout of business professionals and chamber members from in and around the Westfield area.

Curt Whitesell founded WBD out of necessity for his real estate business, WKRP Indy, which specializes in commercial real estate on Ind. 32.

He said he was looking for a way to build working relationships in Westfield.

“Nobody is doing anything in Westfield and we need something,” he said. “Our goal is to help spark some interest in young or active professionals to see the value in the already strong Westfield business environment.”

Whitesell teamed up with fellow residents and businessmen Andy Corman, Rob Garrett and Tim DiGioia two years ago when they first started the group. The group has grown to 150 members via social media. Meetings take place the third Wednesday of every month at Ameriana Bank, 3333 Ind. 32, and the group welcomes any professionals looking to join and expand their business network.

“Our intention is to connect business owners in Westfield. We want to help grow their business,” Whitesell said.

The WBD has joined forces with what seems to be an organic fit – the chamber.

“They have a natural audience because of who they are, and we know how to network. We can learn from each other,” Whitesell said. “People in the Chamber have wonderful businesses, why aren’t we promoting them?”

Corman lead the Feb. 19 meeting which focused on the networking tactic of “strategic partnerships” and how they can be used to help grow business.

“It’s all about shrinking your world,” said Corman. “You find out who you need to know, and once your find those key people, you can help each other grow your businesses.”

Organizers said the group is looking to expand into service projects and field trips in the area to continue to promote the growth of Westfield. It also will continue to hold meetings at local businesses as another way to promote them.

I love to work with young people and introduce them to both literature and technology.

What goals do you have for your students? My main goal is to support children in their quest to become independent learners.

As an elementary media specialist, I believe the media center is our school’s central communica-

tion hub for both students and staff. It is a place where literature comes to life, questions are answered through research and news is communicated to the entire school. By teaching students how to use our library resources, I hope they will have the knowledge and skill they need to solve life’s puzzles that come their way.

Westfield author Greg Kishbaugh releases his first fiction novel, Bone Welder

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Westfield resident Greg Kishbaugh said it was a seventh-grade writing assignment that got him hooked.

“I wrote a sequel to King Kong. I still recover story member my teacher reading it in front of the class,” he said.

The thrill he received from hearing his story being read quickly was tempered though.

“When I got it back I saw the first red note, ‘if it was so hot why did he put a jacket on?’ I learned very quickly about the editing side of what you did wrong and how to make it better,” Kishbaugh said. “My first editorial note was that red circle.”

From that day, Kishbaugh said he wrote short stories and graphic novels all through high school and college.

“I love writing. I’ve been writing since I was in seventh grade pretty continuously,” he said. “I write through lunch or go to the office early to write.”

His dedication to the craft has led Kishbaugh to publishing his first fictional novel, “Bone Welder.”

“We’ve already sold out of the first two orders in the past three weeks (at the local Barnes & Noble store),” Donna, Kishbaugh’s wife, said.

“It’s motivation to keep at it,” he said.

Ray Bradbury’s influence “He got me to read the most,” Kishbaugh said of Bradbury.

Although he was concerned what it might expose, Kishbaugh red Bradbury’s biography and was pleasantly surprised.

“You never know what will happen when you hold your hero to the light,” he said. “I loved him as much after I read it as before,” After reading the biography, Kishbaugh wrote to Bradbury and heard back.

“That was pretty awesome quite frankly,” Kishbaugh said. “I reached out to him and he wrote me the most wonderful letter back. He received 300 to 500 letters a day. To receive a two-page letter back was pretty cool.”

Bone Welder Author Greg Kishbaugh will have an interactive book signing/reading at 4 p.m. March 29 at Barnes & Noble, 14709 U.S. 31.

• Available: Paperback, hardcover, kindle and nook • Paperback: 312 pages • Publisher: Evileye Books • Plot: “Bone Welder” is the first in a horror thriller series that explores the legacy of Frankenstein’s Monster. In this first installment, the monster is re-introduced to the modern world after a near-200-year absence, sought out by a man in search of redemption. But, the destruction he unwittingly unleashes upon the world is more horrific than Dr. Frankenstein himself could have ever imagined.

Kishbaugh said it was Bradbury who encouraged him to enter the Ray Bradbury Fiction Writing Contest, in which he won first place in 2007 for his short story, “Magnificent Desolation.”

“I left it unpublished since that time,” Kishbaugh said.

Publishing business Kishbaugh has been an editor/publisher for 25 years. He is a consulting editor for Evileye Books, overseeing manuscript development of new series and standalone books for the publisher, which specializes in horror and speculative fiction.

“It’s a big help knowing the business side. It’s changing so rapidly – the electronic aspect of publishing,” he said. “The thing I’ve learned most is to be much freer with the first draft. Writing is a long process.”

“Bone Welder” is not the first time Kishbaugh’s works have been published. His work has appeared in several anthologies, as well as renowned horror magazine, Cemetery Dance. He also is the editor of the Burning Maiden anthology series produced by Evileye.

Described as “where literature and the supernatural meet,” Burning Maiden, Vol. 1, is a collection 16 new short stories from bestselling authors.

“I asked authors I like if they would participate. People whose books I really liked,” he said.

The book included National Book Award winner Charles Johnson and Kishbaugh, who blindly submitted his work to the publisher before including it.

The next volume is planned to be released in January 2015.

Kishbaugh said the series will be released annually after the third volume in 2016.

Kishbaugh said his first draft was “really, really long” – 150,000 words at one point – and his biggest test was to cut the word count down by more than half.

“It was a lot of fun. You really grow to enjoy after you’ve been writing for a while,” he said. “You put it aside for awhile – try to read it as an editor, as someone who didn’t write it.”

In the original version, everyone dies in the end of the first draft and then several people suggested that Kishbaugh change the ending to provide more novels.

“There are so many possibilities. The more research I do the more all these doors open up,” he said.

Kisbaugh plans to make the book into a series of at least three, but it won’t be a trilogy.

“You don’t have to read the first book before the second one,” he said. “The three will standalone but they’ll be a lot more fun to read all three.”

Kishbaugh said his purpose of writing is creating something people will enjoy reading.

“I’m huge into story. When I write I’d like every chapter to be a story with a beginning, middle and end,” he said “Bone Welder” is, at its heart, a modern exploration of the themes first set out in Mary Shelley’s seminal work published in 1818. With deep understanding and respect for the original story, Kishbaugh contemplates the emotional and moral ramifications of science-as-god in seeking dominion over death.

“Entertaining myself is No. 1,” he said. “I’m writing a book that doesn’t exist. The only way I can read it is if I write it. There are so many things to do with the character and I play them out.”

‘Bone Welder’ Kishbaugh grew up with the original Frankenstein movie and book.

“I thought if he’s immortal than that means he’s still alive,” he said. “They could not kill him. He’s still wondering around the North Pole. That was the launching point of the idea.”

FROM THE BACKSHOP

FROM THE EDITOR Summers past and present

We like Cook’s resolve on this We’re seeing Mayor Andy Cook again stand his ground, political consequences be damned, and we like it. He and Hamilton County Councilman Rick McKinney are at distinct odds over the latter’s decision to not have county councilman Joe Plankis continue for another term.

(Please see coverage of the issue elsewhere in this edition.) The dispute, though, is not what caught our attention. It was Cook’s digging in his heels for reasons he finds just. It reminds us of how he refused – steadfastly, we might add – to become defensive when overtly (some might say viciously) challenged for re-election back in the fall of 2011. And because he took the high road, he won by an incredibly scant margin. We admire anyone that sticks to his or her beliefs in an extremely ardent manner.

A driving concern

Commentary by Terry Anker

Like many Americans, I spend way too much time in my car. Offices are scattered across a two county area and we have yet to fully adapt to video conferencing as an alternative to oldschool drive time. Certainly, face-to-face communication is superior to the over-the-wire kind, but it does demand more than a moment behind the wheel. Public transportation is big in some towns. And many boast of a highly developed private operation too. Cabs and companies like Uber meet the needs of commuters moving around without the benefit of a personal vehicle.

We residents of Central Indiana remain somewhat constrained in our options. So like so many of my fellow Hoosiers, I work to make the best of a suboptimal situation. During the drive time, I schedule return calls (yes, I use Bluetooth and take extra caution trying to restrict my calls to highway time) and plan ahead to have a problem that requires thought. With the radio switched off, the quiet allows for one to ponder in a way

that is nearly impossible in a busy office or home. But even with careful preparation, there are occasions during the week when the road and radio are my only compatriots.

Why is it that my regard for a cause is significantly reduced if the driver in front of me with a bumper sticker or two proclaiming to be a protagonist for the issue is a terrible driver? Why do we disdain people who drive erratically because they are: drinking hot coffee, eating a sandwich, talking on the phone, looking for something in the backseat, caring for a dog/child/stuffed animal, reading a book, putting on makeup, or just generally disinterested in the task (all things I’ve seen personally) – and yet why don’t we hold ourselves to the same standard?

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

Humor is also a way of saying something serious.

- T.S. Eliot

From a first year Scout fresh from Webelos to an 18-year-old Eagle Scout, when I was younger, summers revolved around Boy Scout Camp. I can remember the jitters of being a first time camper – getting lost on trails, living off the candy at the trading post since the camp food was inedible and the eventual bout of home sickness. But as I matured and grew older, so did my confidence.

That’s the great thing about camp experiences – meeting new people, learning new skills and gaining new experiences. What I remember most is my growth. I might have been shy that first year, but I soon opened up and met a lot of good people. I went from asking older Scouts for help to dispensing advice.

Success was transformed from the number of merit badges I earned to watching younger Scouts achieve theirs because of my assistance. Some skills I learned will stay with me forever; others probably didn’t last longer than the stay at camp (like basket weaving).

The Summer Camp Guide in this edition offers options for preschool to high school senior to enrich their time off from school. The purpose is pretty simple: to provide a comprehensive listing of what is out there. From sports camps to 4-H, learning Latin to model rockets, it’s amazing what offerings are available in Hamilton County and surrounding areas.

As we start to see green grass again, it’s not too early to think about summer – especially when it means time at the pool and bonfires with s’mores.

Teenage sons: Sweet and sour Commentary by Danielle Wilson

My husband called the other day and asked, “Can I punch our 15-year-old son?” “Sure,” I replied. “Just don’t hit him in the humor face.” Of course, we were joking - no need to call CPS, fans - but honestly, teenage boys are a nightmare.

Take the aforementioned kid. He questions every single word Doo and I say, including but not limited to our tips for better organization and time management, our pleas for daily showering and deodorizing, and our advice for academic success through actual homework completion.

He never admits to wrongdoing of any kind. Ever.

And when asked to do something, anything, he whines as if being tortured. Can you really blame us for wanting to smack him upside the head?

True, he does have a sweet side (he gives awesome hugs and is very gentle with his young cousins), but his aptitude for tenderness and compassion is usually overshadowed by his propensity for butthole-ishness. Literally, his entire personality just revealed itself in the last halfhour as I was typing: He offered to play chess with his 12-year-old brother (sweet), but couldn’t resist dismissing the game and his opponent when, for the first time ever, he was forced to a draw (dork).

The saving grace is that he seems to act this

way only outside our humble abode. Teachers, grandparents and random adults find him polite, mature and genuinely likeable. Which is, I suppose, the way we want it. If he’s going to behave like an ass, we prefer he do so in private.

I’m not a teenage boy, nor have I ever been, but I just can’t understand why he finds it so hard to be pleasant with us, his adoring family. Of course, I’ve heard worse about teenage girls, of whom I have two looming, but those I can handle.

It’s this boy thing I don’t get. He is driving me bonkers with his disrespectful tone and arrogant manner. And punishments don’t seem to work for very long. Yes, he’ll be an angel while we hold his phone hostage; but a week later, he’ll be back to hotly debating the logic of the chore chart or his bedtime on “Walking Dead” night.

Clearly a mother’s love is an amazing thing.

The fact that I still kind of like my teenager says a lot about my patience. But I must admit I found Doo’s phone call hilarious and somewhat comforting. It’s not just I who thinks teenage boys are a nightmare!

Peace out.

Wait for it … no really, wait for it Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

As a column writer, I can share my real-life experiences with countless people. This is much more rewarding than when I try humor to tell a story firsthand to friends.

Here’s an example of something that happened the other day.

I took my dog Toby for a walk and about a third of the way around the lake, he decided it was too cold and snowy, so he took off back to the shopping center where I had parked the car.

A woman walking out of Kroger, where I usually shop, said she saw my companion run inside the store when the automatic doors opened. I went to the service desk and told the lady that my dog was somewhere inside. She said, “Okay, I’ll make an announcement to see if we can locate him.”

Then she asked, “What kind of a dog is it?” This struck me as very funny. I guess they didn’t want to hand over the wrong dog.

In any case, this is the kind of story I love to repeat, so first I called my buddy Bob. He chuckled through the part about Toby running into a supermarket. “And listen to this,” I said, trumpeting the forthcoming hysterical ending, “the woman at the service desk wanted to know what breed he was before she got on the PA.” I waited for the laughter. But instead Bob said: “That’s odd. Do you think Toby knows he’s a beagle?”

HUH? What does that mean, Bob? I tried to explain the reason the last line was funny, but there was no point. Eager to share this whimsi-

cal tale with someone else, I called my friend and editor, Heidi. I knew she’d get a kick out of it.

“I was walking the dog around the lake yesterday…”

“You walked him near a lake? I hope you didn’t let Toby get too near the ice!”

“Okay, Heidi, but listen. So Toby is about 30 feet ahead of me and…

“What? You didn’t have him on a leash? Who walks a beagle without a leash?“Not the point of the story. So all of a sudden he takes off—” “So I walk up to the counter and tell the woman that my dog is loose in the store and I ask her to get on the PA system to see if we can locate him. You will never in a million years guess what the woman said to me before she made the announcement.”

“I assume she wanted to know what kind of dog it was.”

Dejected, I put down my phone and decided that I was only going to relate my future experiences through the written word where I can make my point clearly without being interrupted and losing my train of thought.

Hold on, there’s the phone. It’s Heidi. She wants to know why I prefer Kroger to Marsh.

The Temptations will bring their nostalgic array of soul music to the Palladium on Feb. 27 for a live performance. (Submitted photos)

Feb. 27, Mowtown icons wil be there

By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com Get ready, ‘cause here they come.

Surely there’s no better cure for the winter blues than a warm dose of soul. So music plan to get your groove on at the Palladium on Feb. 27 as the Temptations and the Four Tops roll into Carmel.

The Temptations are, as always, five singers strong, led by Otis Williams, who founded the group in 1961. They were among Motown’s musical trailblazers and their current lineup is still going strong.

Their first hit song, “The Way You Do the Things You Do” came a few years later, and their first number one hit, “My Girl,” came shortly after. Their songs, together with the music of the Beatles, changed the direction of the popular music of the 1960s.

In the years to come, Williams kept the group together and led an ever-rotating roster of singers to more hits, including “Get Ready, ‘Cause Here I Come,” “Ain’t Too Proud to Beg,” “Papa Was a Rolling Stone” and “I Wish it Would Rain.”

The modern-day Temptations are comprised of Williams, along with Ron Tyson, Terry Weeks, Joe Herndon and Bruce Williamson. As they celebrate the 50th anniversary of their first hit song, they have released a new album, appropriately

titled, Still Here, which continues to offer their signature brand of silky-smooth harmonies and laid-back cool.

As if these five powerhouse vocalists with an amazing five-piece band aren’t enough to heat things up, the Temptations will be joined by another legendary group, The Four Tops.

According to John Hughey, spokesman for the Center for the Performing Arts, the two groups started touring together in 2007 and have been a very popular combination.

The Four Tops also got their start right in the ’60s, crafting songs with similar smooth harmonies, and adding a polished, choreographed sheen to the Detroit street corner doo-wop

music of their youth. Their hits included “I Can’t Help Myself,” “Baby, I Need Your Lovin’” and “Reach Out (I’ll Be There.”)

The original Four Tops sang together from 1953 through 1997 until Lawrence Payton died.

The group has continued with several personnel replacements, including Payton’s son, Roquel.

Abdul “Duke” Fakir is the only original surviving member.

“All through high school and college, there were a lot of dances centered around Motown music,” said Randy Sorrell, who is attending the concert with his wife Kim. “When ‘Get Ready’ started to play, the whole dance floor filled up and every single person was singing along. It just doesn’t get any better than that. The music is timeless; still relevant today.”

“We saw Smoky Robinson when he was at the Palladium, and it was impossible to stay in your seat,” Sorrell continued. “I imagine this night will be much the same. We can’t wait. We’ll start our night at divvy, then hit the show, and then see where the night takes us after that!”

Community named Healthiest 100 editorial@youarecurrent.com

Healthiest Employers, the leader in employee health analytics, best practices and benchmark data, has announced the achievement induction of Community Health Network into the 2014 Healthiest 100 Workplaces in America. Every one of these employers has achieved remarkable and sustainable success through a broad range of corporate wellness programs and employee wellness initiatives.

Community Health Network attained this recognition as the culmination of a year-long, highly selective two-stage assessment process spanning the United States—to include companies of all sizes from all regions and industries.

“Community’s mission is to enhance the health and well-being of those we serve,” stated Steve Zetzl, vice president of Community Employer Health. “We believe a critical step in that process is to enhance the health and well-being of our own employees. From health screenings

and employee fitness centers, to digital coaching, cooking demonstrations, employee health centers and activity challenges, we are committed to providing a variety of programs, tools and incentives to help our employees achieve and maintain the highest level of health possible.”

These state and national awards recognize employers who have comprehensively incorporated the most effective employee wellness programs and practices. The Healthiest 100 have successfully implemented practical, effective and continuously improving corporate wellness strategies for creating a sustainably healthy workplace.

Rod Reasen II, president of Healthiest Employers, stated, “This highly selective award recognizes employers who demonstrate exceptional leadership in using wellness as a strategy to drive workplace productivity, employee health, and community wellbeing. As these employers demonstrate, every organization has a path to the Healthiest 100, regardless of size, industry or geography.”

dispatches Dangers of smartphones – Did you know that excessive use of your cell phone can cause your body harm? Using your smartphone after 9 p.m. can hinder melatonin, the chemical that provides sleep, from the blue light emitted from phones. Using your phone constantly to play games, surf the Internet or watch movies can also lead to a much more sedentary lifestyle than those who spend 90 minutes or less daily on their phones. Keep your phone in your pocket while crossing the street: pedestrians face a higher risk of harm by focusing their attention on their phones while walking by either being struck by a car, or falling off walkways or bridges.

Building permit numbers dip slightly er has crippled our industry for the past four to six weeks, and I am not surprised to see the slight dip. My hope is that the weather subsides quickly and we can begin to see the steady increases market analysts are predicting.”

In central Indiana, the permits issued through January 2014 have created a total economic impact of $53.7 million in local income, $12.2 million in local taxes, and 910 local jobs, year-to-date.

For more information call 236-6330 or visit www.bagi.com for permits from 2000-2013.

editorial@youarecurrent.com

With home prices reaching $159,391 in January 2014, home sales prices are up 8.6 percent compared to January 2013.

Six of the nine counties that F.C. Tucker real estate tracks – including Hamilton County – experienced slightly higher home sales prices than in January 2013. In Hamilton County, January home prices averaged $255,295, up 13.9 percent over January 2013.

• In Westfield, home sellers continue to benefit from increasing prices. Last month, the average sales price was $262,732, up 12.4 percent from January 2013.

• As the market stabilizes, homes are being purchased at a faster rate. In January 2014, homes in Westfield stayed on the market an average of 84 days, which is 7 fewer days compared to January 2013.

• The number of options in Westfield remains nearly unchanged from last year. Last month, 179 homes were available for sale, while 181 homes were on the market in January 2013.

• Home sales are off to a sluggish start. In Westfield, 38 homes sold in January 2014, down 42.4 percent compared to January 2013. Similarly, home sales declined 31 percent across central Indiana.

The record snowfall and cold temperatures certainly had an impact on home sales in January. However, as soon as we get moderation in the weather, I’m confident sales will break loose.

Jim Litten is the president of F.C. Tucker Company.

January permit reports indicate that in central Indiana, single-family building permits decreased construction less than 1 percent compared to January 2013 numbers. There were 300 new home permits issued in January 2014 compared to 303 in January 2013.

Wake, waken, awake and awaken Commentary by Jordan Fischer

© 2014 All Rights Reserved Certa ProPainters, Ltd. Each CertaPro Painters business is independently owned and operated.

I woke up this morning ready to tackle a thorny grammar issue – although maybe I wakened this morning. Ungrammar guy less I awoke. Perhaps I awakened?

I came across this quandary last week. I’d be lying if I said I was immediately 100 percent confident about which word I needed. All four words and their various conjugates have roughly the same meaning: to stop being asleep. Their usages, though, can be much more nuanced.

I was delighted to find that I wasn’t the only person struggling with these verbs. As TheFreeDictionary.com writes, “The pairs wake, waken and awake, awaken have formed a bewildering array since the Middle English period. All four words have similar meanings, though there are some differences in use.”

Since I only have a limited amount of space here, I will focus on the most common of the four – “to wake.” The others may get short thrift.

The primary use of “to wake” is as an intransitive verb (a verb with no direct object) meaning “to cease to sleep.” I woke up. She wakes early. Upon waking, I smelled breakfast cooking downstairs.

“To wake” can also be used transitively (e.g., “The thunderstorm woke me up”). This is where things get muddled. All four words can be used transitively to mean “to rouse (someone/some-

thing) from sleep.” All four are more or less equally acceptable choices in most circumstances. To help you navigate them, here are a few bullet points: • Only “wake” and “waken,” and typically just “wake,” can be paired with the word “up,” as in, “The alarm woke me up at 6 a.m.”

• Although they are not exclusively figurative, “awake” and “awaken” are often used in that sense. E.g., “I awoke to the possibilities,” or “The national anthem awakened their inner patriot.”

• In American English at least, “awoke” seems to be used commonly instead of the past tense of “wake” (which can be both “woke” or “waked”) – but, again, never paired with “up.”

• As the Oxford Dictionary notes, “waken” and “awaken” are the most formal of the four words. Use them to seem fancy.

A final thought: To avoid confusion, it would be perfectly acceptable to mentally designate each of the words as either transitive or intransitive only. Or, you could avoid the issue altogether and simply never get out of bed again – at least not until spring, anyway.

Delhi’s Tower of Destruction Commentary by Don Knebel

The Qutb Minar complex in Delhi is one of India’s top attractions, sometimes outdrawing the Taj Mahal. Visitors marvel at travel the tallest, all-brick tower in the world, completed almost 650 years ago, and at an unpainted iron pillar that has not rusted for almost 1700 years.

The Qutb Minar complex is named for Qutb al-Din Aybak, a slave turned general from Afghanistan. He conquered northern India in 1192, destroying at least 27 Hindu and Jain temples in the process. In 1206, Qutb al-Din Aybak declared himself Sultan of Delhi and began building a brick victory tower, incorporating rubble from the demolished temples. When he fell from his polo horse and died in 1210, his successors continued his work. The fluted sandstone tower, adorned with statements from the Quran, finished in 1368, at a height of 238 ft, is nearly 50 feet higher than the contemporaneously constructed tower in Pisa, Italy. With 379 internal steps and 5 circular balconies, Qutb Minar has become a symbol of Delhi.

As the Muslim conquerors under Qutb al-Din Aybak demolished the temples at the site on which they later built Qutb Minar, they intention-

ally spared a 22 ft tall iron pillar erected in the fourth century to honor Vishnu, a Hindu god.

They spared the 16.4 in diameter pillar because of its apparently magical ability to resist rust, a property scientists now attribute to phosphorus added by Hindu metallurgists. The rust-free iron pillar is so unusual, people still believe their wishes will be granted if they can encircle the pillar with their arms stretched behind their backs. A fence now protects the pillar from pilgrims seeking to improve their luck.

The beauty and continued existence of Qutb Minar are tributes to its Muslim designers. The nearby iron pillar reflects the genius of Hindu metallurgists. A visit to the Qutb Minar complex reminds us that many cultures have produced works of lasting importance. A visit also provides an opportunity to bemoan that members of religious traditions still show superiority of their faiths by destroying the holy places of those with different beliefs.

How to incorporate natural stone Commentary by David Decker

It can take millions of years for certain stones to form in nature. Maybe it’s thanks to this extremely long construction Indoors process that natural stone has a classic, timeless look that continues to be popular in home design decade after decade. And because of this enduring popularity, you can rest assured that installing natural stone will increase the value of your home. Let’s investigate some creative ways to implement natural stone into your home décor.

As a building material, stone is inherently durable, long lasting and environmentally friendly, which is why it is ideal for high traffic areas or objects that need to endure temperatures, or contact with water. Because of their chemical properties, some stone options are far more durable than others. Limestone and marble are much more susceptible to damage than slate, granite or soapstone. You’ll need to be sure to properly seal and maintain the stone to ensure that is stays looking as beautiful as the day it was installed.

The most obvious and popular place to use natural stone is for countertops. Because many types of natural stone are heat resistant and scratch proof, it’s easy to see why this has become a popular choice for kitchen countertops.

However, you also could choose to install stone countertops in the bathroom or bar area.

Natural also requires very little maintenance, which is why it is the perfect type of flooring for high traffic areas. Stone flooring is easy to clean and won’t be worn down by heavy amounts of foot traffic. Consider installing stone flooring to add an elegant touch to entryways, bathrooms or kitchen floors.

Another great way to implement stone in your home is on wall backsplashes. Stone backsplashes can add color and texture to your kitchen or bathroom. With all of the many styles and colors to choose from, there’s something to match every home décor style. And backsplashes are a more cost effective way to incorporate stone into home décor since they require less material than countertops or flooring.

For homeowners looking for smaller scale

home improvement projects, natural stone can also be implemented into home accent pieces.

Visualize gathering around a solid stone fireplace during the chilly winter months. Or enjoy relaxing in a bathtub with a natural stone frame. Natural stone can even be used as a top surface for a wooden table or office desk. The possibilities are endless.

When properly cared for, natural stone can last for decades. So take comfort in the fact that anything you invest in will be a long lasting addition to your home.
