DVD review “Frozen” was easily the finest animated flick of 2013, not that the competition was all that keen. It’s a musical with probably the best set of tunes to emerge from the House of Disney since “Beauty in the Beast.” It also won the Oscar for Best Song, “Let It Go,” and easily should have earned one or two more nods in that category.

City council bans food trucks By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Westfield has joined the growing number of places to adopt ordinances that restrict food trucks and mobile food vendors within city limits. On March 10, the government Westfield City Council unanimously approved an ordinance to ban food trucks from competing with permanent vendors and brick and mortar businesses in the city and specifically around Grand Park. “We encourage their presence under certain circumstances, but we don’t want to discourage permanent brick service establishments inside our city,” Mayor Andy Cook said. Prior to the vote, Westfield City Council President Jim Ake said the city had no policy on food vending throughout the city. Officials heard concerns that could impact economic development of the area as businesses said they “can’t compete with food vendors.” “With this safe guard in place it should position the vendors of Grand Park for great success,” Economic Development Director Matt

Skelton said. The ordinance allows food vendors to only be present at special city events, neighborhood parties, or when invited by large employers with more than 25 employees. Special events listed in the ordinance include the Westfield Farmers Market, Relay for Life and events hosted by Westfield and Hamilton County Parks and Recreation, Westfield Public Safety, Westfield Washington Schools, Westfield Rotary, Lions Club, Downtown Westfield Association and Builders Association of Greater Indianapolis. Children’s food and beverage stands and ice cream trucks are not included in the ban – although ice cream trucks are not permitted within Grand Park. “We have no intention of stopping kid’s lemonade stands,” Skelton said. Violators of the ordinance will be subject to a fine of $100 per transaction. Skelton said the city does not have a permit fee for food vendors and does not plan to charge one for the three allowances. “We’re not trying to bureaucratize the system by setting up a fee or payment system,” he said.

Horse rescued – At 7:12 p.m. March 12 the Westfield Fire Dept. responded to a call that a horse had fallen through the ice on a pond at 2109 E. Ind. 38. Crews arrived to find a horse submerged to its upper neck and surrounded by ice. Using chain saws to cut through and move the ice, crews were able to create a path for the horse. The horse was able to walk out of the pond and into a barn with assistance. A local veterinarian was called to treat the horse.

Pictor joins school board By Lauren Olsen • lauren@currentinwestfield.com The Westfield Washington School Board is back to full strength as Amy Pictor was sworn in as the new policy liaison and board member on March 11. She takes over the education remaining term of Dennis Ells, who retired last year after serving for 21 years. “We have two kids in the school system, one already graduated,” said Pictor. “It’s a great school system, and I wanted to get more involved.” Land sale The sale of the 14.1 acres of land is moving forward as the development group and the purchasers have come to an agreement. At this point, the city is working through the process of the sale as the development group already has big plans for the land. “It appears there will be 60,000 sq ft. fourstory building, 15, 000 sq. ft. per floor, built here at the corner. They’ve already talked to three people, the first three people they talked to all want 2,000 sq. ft., so they don’t think occupancy is going to be very difficult,” Superintendent Dr. Mark Keen said. Ready steps One year ago, the district moved to a ready steps program, designed to prepare students at the eighth grade level for the PSAT test. The results show that 66 percent of middle school kids

School officials said this test is normally taken by high performing districts and is unique in Indiana as very few districts within the state use the program. Teachers use these results to adjust the curriculum to better prepare the students for high school.

Parks department’s newest member Commentary by Jordan McBride My training and employment background would not have hinted in any way at my current occupation. My initial training was for nuclear engineering, and I finished my naval city career as a support detachment for the southeast United States. During that time, I traveled extensively through South Carolina, North Carolina, southern Virginia and Georgia. I got to have the short-term experience of being on naval submarines, and also a wealth of experience traveling around the southeastern United States and seeing a lot of great places. These experiences made me very interested in what drives people to go places and do things I discovered that there was actually an opportunity to go to college and study that. So, once I got out of the military, I went to IUPUI and studied tourism, conventions and event management through the School of Physical Education and Tourism Management. Why Westfield? My wife’s career is here in Westfield, so moving up here from downtown Indianapolis has been great. It gives us an opportunity to be close to work and to get involved in the community. Westfield is also just where it’s at. With everything that’s going on in the city, it’s poised to boom. There are things that are going on here

– like Grand Park and Grand Junction – that are monumental in terms of community growth and hospitality. Why Parks? I love working for our Parks department. It’s different every day. We get to do events that people love. And I get to work with some really great people. We have a great volunteer base of several hundred who volunteer throughout the year. In some ways, we are the one place in government where people are encouraged to just have fun. I want people to have a good time, and genuinely want people to have the best quality of life that they can, no matter what. So whether it’s the Arbor Day Celebration, the Bicycle Derby, Westfield Rocks the Fourth or the Grand Junction Derby, I really want to just help people enjoy their community. If you look at what we do – parks, trails, events – they all have one thing in common and that is enhancing the quality of life in Westfield. It’s a lot of work but when it’s over, it gives you something to look back on and be proud of. Jordan McBride is the administrative assistant for the Westfield Parks and Recreation Dept.

Meet your teacher, Cheri Davis Grade/subject at what school: Early literacy teacher, Monon Trail Elementary Number of years teaching: 11 Background/schooling: Speedway High School; and B.S. elementary education, Ball State University. Why did you become a teacher? Growing up, my teachers were such a positive influence on my life. They impacted not only my education, but were also so purposeful at making me feel important and special. I wake up each day hoping to be that person for my students. If my students feel important and see themselves as someone who is a leader and who is valued, my day is successful. What goals do you have for your students? I work with students K-3 in various literacy skills. Aside from growing in their literacy knowledge, I hope to teach them they are valued and important. I also have high expectations for them in displaying great leadership skills and showing respect and kindness to others. What do you encourage parents to do at

home to help their children strengthen particular skills? I encourage parents to talk to their children, read to their children, and have fun with their children. I want parents to understand how important it is to talk WITH their child, not just to them. The importance of reading, having fun, and having conversations with their child is so vital in the child’s knowledge of vocabulary and development of many social skills. I hope they value the short time they have with their children. What is your favorite movie? “Steele Magnolias” What is your favorite musician or band? Mandisa and Jamie Grace What’s something your students might not know about you? One of my passions in life is to teach adults English. I have met some amazing adults who work extremely hard to learn English, and in turn, have taught me so much more about life!

Sam Arnett, 103, shares his memories of life and America’s history

Year in review

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com The first Indianapolis 500 race took place in 1911 and like “the greatest spectacle in racing,” Westfield resident Sam Arnett continues to keep motoring – 103 years later. “There’s no secret. You cover story take it day by day. One day leads into the next and the next thing you know you have a whole pile of them,” he said. Arnett was born Feb. 25, 1911 on the east side of Indianapolis on Parker Avenue. “When I was a child, there were very few automobiles. Horses were still a popular item,” he said, adding his first automobile was a 1917 Reo touring car. “The airplane was quite a spectacle because there was very few of them. They really didn’t develop until World War I.” After graduating from Indianapolis Public School No. 54, Arnett earned two college degrees – one in business from Butler University and a masters in pharmacy from Purdue University. Arnett, whose father owned a drugstore, worked for 34 years at Eli Lilly and Co. as a pharmaceutical chemist in the research laboratory. “Penicillin was a big deal when I was very active,” he said. “There were new pharmaceuticals all the time but penicillin was the standout.” Retired in 1970 and moved to Florida for 20 years with his wife before returning to Indiana. “I never did much traveling. What traveling I did do was inside the states or adjoining countries,” he said. His hobbies are primarily sports (which also is what he enjoys watching most of TV) and he played varsity baseball at Butler. His daughter, Anne Ripley, said his love of baseball led to the start of little league on the east side of Indianapolis. “He started the whole little league there when there was no field,” she said. “Because of him, hundreds of kids were able to play.” Arnett has lived through some of the most historical times in America, including five major wars and 18 presidents with his favorite being Franklin D. Roosevelt. “After him, (Dwight D.) Eisenhower was very popular as was (Ronald) Reagan,” he said. While he doesn’t remember the end of World War II very well, Arnett said there was “quite a celebration” when World War I concluded. “People were going into the streets, ringing bells and blowing whistles,” he said. Like many Americans, Arnett remembers watching the moon landing on television, “it was very popular,” and the news of when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. “It was a surprise disaster in which everybody

Kristen Welker, director of health and wellness, bragged about Arnett’s sense of humor and intelligence, and wasn’t surprised to see him open several gifts of candy and sweets, his special favorites. “It’s not unusual to find him in the morning with chocolate,” she said. “He’s so intelligent at his age,” Strausbaugh said. “You could ask him a math problem and he’ll answer with a smile and a smart Sam Arnett proudly displays a fish he caught in 1977 after he retired from Eli aleck response to Lilly where he worked for 34 years.

A big salute to the Boy Scouts

We proudly helped to sponsor the annual Mayor’s Boy Scouts Breakfast in Noblesville a few weeks ago. It’s a recurring sponsorship, because we believe, as does Mayor John Ditslear, that Scouting is a wonderful endeavor that needs to endure. As a matter of fact, we’re fast at work on a series of special sections for the Crossroads of America Council for the Boy Scouts of America. They are scheduled to publish in June, August and September, and the content is going to be focused on the various layers of what Scouting means in general and specifically to those that choose to participate. If you or your business are a proponent of Scouting and would like to place a message to that effect in any or all of the special publications, please let us know at info@youarecurrent.com, and we’ll be glad to assist you. ••• You might recall from previous tomes that we place a premium on research, and so it was with great interest that we read last week’s Wall Street Journal/NBC poll results. They pointed out that the overall electoral milieu for Democrats is worse than it was in 2010, when the Republicans had their best midterm performance since Harry S. Truman was president. President Barack Obama’s jobapproval rating is at an all-time low of 41 percent. While Western Europe is at risk, among other crisis issues, Obama was playing golf. Of course he was. One other point: The poll respondents were divided on Obamacare, with 49 percent saying (as we have) that it’s a bad idea, and 39 percent saying it was a good idea. The bottom line here: The Republicans will find a way to screw up the advantage. Bank on it. Brian Kelly, publisher, and Steve Greenberg, general manager, are co-owners of Current Publishing, LLC.

Grand, indeed

An emotional rescue

Commentary by Terry Anker

As the discussion about public transportation continues in our fair communities, we are encouraged to think about our own habits and how we might make individual use of such amenities were they to become available. Would we ride busses? Would we ride trains? Would we ride monorails or planes? Kidding aside, the idea of having someone else do the driving can be very appealing. In some places around this planet, our fellow humans move collectively about quickly, affordably and in high comfort. Yet for reasons that we don’t fully understand, our desire to be entirely independent and unrestricted stymies our support for what, in many ways, would be a superior approach to personal locomotion. For many, air travel is the form of mass-transit most prevalent – there is little or no other service that corresponds with our homes or offices. It is an amazing feat that one can be transported in a few hours from one place to another safely and with minimal effort. Still, it

requires that we get out of our individual automobiles and share our space with strangers. And for many, this is a challenge – the release of control can be surprisingly emotional. But why is it so difficult? Most of us don’t know how to fly a jumbo jet and reason proves that the risk of peril in driving ourselves across country is far greater to our life and limb. Long lines, fights for overhead bin space, and cancelled flights are often blamed. But empirically compared to the alternatives, is our rational decision-making clouded an overwhelming desire to maintain perceived control? So how does a reasonable thinker seek balance in the discourse? Can we find our way to release some control to gain many other advantages? And even if we can, will we? Is there an emotional rescue?

The 1.5 million expected tourists will come, but for now Grand Park is just for Westfield residents. Competition at the massive sports complex started last week as recreation teams began practicing on the artificial fields on March 10. Over the weekend, Westfield Youth Soccer Association hosted a pair of college showcases featuring the top boys travel teams from Westfield Select Soccer Club. The first visitors? The U18 premier teams from Carmel United and Westside United and college coaches from across the country. Girls’ teams will be showcased on March 21 through 23. The official opening is set for June 20 through 22, but on March 14 Mayor Andy Cook was busy kicking and throwing the ceremonial first balls at soccer and baseball games. Can you believe the day has come where play is underway daily on the fields? The 400-acre park began in 2010 and will serve as an economic development catalyst for the city. Grand Park has been a dream of Cook’s for years on at the Westfield City Council meeting he displayed a big smile while giving an update on the sports campus. “It’s happening,” he said, knowing that while he sat through government actions his residents were enjoying their time on the fields. The massive tournaments, college, semipro and professional teams will come. But for now children who still need assistance strapping on the shin guards or learning the rules of the games get to enjoy their own fields of dreams and I can only imagine how unique that experience is. It makes me want to throw on my cleats. Robert Herrington is the managing editor of Current in Westfield. You may e-mail him at robert@ youarecurrent.com

Tuesday, April 8, 2014 Time:

6-7 pm

It’s time for my quarterly New Year’s Resolutions check-in, people, where I evaluate my progress towards fulfilling my humor goals for 2014. You may recall I am attempting to become HungerGames worthy. I want to achieve ripped arms and crock-pot expertise, in addition to learning how to hunt, shoot and power whistle. Unfortunately, I’m not progressing as quickly as I’d hoped. For instance, every time I practice obnoxious catcalling, I nearly pass out. This does not play well while I’m navigating the construction on 31 in my minivan. So I’ve had to limit my sessions to those rare moments when I am not driving to dance, tumbling, soccer, track, tae kwon do, jazz band or volleyball. Given that whistling lies on one of the lowest rungs of my daily to-do ladder (somewhere between scrubbing toilets and shop-vacing air vents), I’d estimate I devote about thirty seconds every three weeks to mastering this annoyingly-difficult trick. Cooking my way through “Crock-Pots & You” has also proved challenging. For one thing, most of the dishes take only four hours. If I throw all the ingredients in before I leave for work in the morning, by five o’clock that evening, the meal though savory - is essentially mush. This is fine if I’m trying for soup, but not so good if I want a Parmesan Crusted Chicken. Nevertheless, as my

commitment to cutting Box Tops approaches fullon addiction (I love finding them on every highsodium, preservative-laden box of food I serve), I’ve decided to keep the crock-potting. Next up, Meatball Madness! Hunting is on hold until the fall when it becomes legal again to fire weapons at deer. So technically I’m still on course to meet that goal. I’d like to say the same for the handgun, but my only excuse for not learning to shoot is pure laziness. I’ve located a range that offers classes, and I’ve even convinced my mother-in-law to come along for the ride, but I have yet to . . . well . . . pull the trigger. Damn, I’m funny! (Cussing less is not one of my promises.) As for doing 20 “real” push-ups, I’m feeling confident. In fact, I could probably drop and give you eleven right now if I weren’t so light-headed from some recent whistling practice. With warm weather approaching, however, I’m highly motivated to meet this declaration. At least more motivated than I am to slow-cook Knockwurst Surprise. Hope your New Year’s resolutions are going better than mine are! Peace out.

Joe Cashore fills his shows with a variety of stories, each told using different hand-made marionettes. (Submitted photos)

Marionette master brings magic to stage

By Pete Smith • pete@youarecurrent.com

Since the theatres of the Center for Performing Arts first opened to the public, a wide variety of shows and performTheatre ers have wowed audiences. But audiences are in for a rare treat the weekend of March 22 when artist Joe Cashore brings his marionette show to the Tarkington stage. Cashore has dedicated most of his career to perfecting the ancient artform, even building his own creations and manipulating them with a system only he knows how to use – all in the hope of giving an audience a taste of real magic. It wasn’t without reason that Disney chose the story of Pinocchio, the puppet who wanted to become a real boy, when it wanted to create some movie magic in one of its earliest animated movies. But in an age of digital visual effects, it’s easy to forget what made things magical in the first place. But watching an inanimate object suddenly spring to life with perfect human movements can certainly have that effect. Cashore’s performances feature a series of short pieces, each with its own theme. “Some of them are serious, some are humorous, some are emotionally challenging,” he said. The full-length performance on March 22 is recommended for adults and children older than eight; the matinee the following day contains pieces that were performed the day before, but the show is shorter and suitable for adults and children six and older.

That’s because there’s very little dialogue during the performance, and music is necessary to convey the mood and emotions – but it also requires a quiet audience to make the illusion real. “Sometimes it takes a long time to find the right music,” Cashore said. He often uses classical music in his performances, but he also has built pieces around an existing work of music or even commissioned compositions to match a particular idea for a show. Cashore said the combination of the music and the expressiveness of his marionettes has a unique quality. His favorite compliment that he ever received was: “A guy came up after a show and said, ‘You know, looking at this opened a part of my brain

that I didn’t know I had.’” Cashore’s stories are all based on his observations of people. He begins by story-boarding an idea, and then he eliminates everything that doesn’t express the point of the piece. No movement is wasted. “If you keep it focused, it’s more powerful,” he said. Cashore has also built more than 150 marionettes, but he only works with his 15 best. He studied fine arts in school, worked for a while as a painter and carpenter, and then decided to pursue performance art as a fulltime career in the 1980s. So it wasn’t a technical ability he had to master, it was more that he had to overcome a sense of shyness. “It was hard to step out on stage at first. I felt like I was hiding behind the marionettes,” he said. “But I’ve done it so much it’s no longer a problem.” And his shows that focus on the richness of life and its possibilities have taken him to every state except the Dakotas, and all over Canada, Europe and Asia. But this performance will be his first in Carmel, and he hopes people will take the opportunity to come watch something different. “The show is fun,” he said. “People will enjoy it. They really will.” Cashore Marionettes • “Life in Motion” at 7 p.m. March 22 • “Simple Gifts” at 3 p.m. March 23 • The Tarkington Theatre at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel • Tickets start at $15 • For more information visit www.cashoremarionettes.com

“5,000 years of Chinese music and dance in one night!”

By Chris Bavender • editorial@youarecurrent.com The music of composer Percy Granger will be featured as the Indiana Wind Symphony takes center stage with guest tenor Ken music Knowles on March 22 for “Folksong Fantasia.” “Usually the way I plan a concert is I decide on a couple of big works we want to do and then I think, OK, is there any connection that we can form a theme,” said symphony conductor Charles Conrad. “In this case, with the songs form the Catskills, there is based on folk songs. We’ve not done a concert with that theme.” That led Conrad to immediately contact Knowles. “Right away I wanted to get him involved because he is such a terrific singer of folk songs,” Conrad said. “He is such a Carmel fixture and has sung with us maybe a dozen times.” And the concert will feature an interesting twist – playing old recordings Granger compiled of folk singers when he put together a piece called “A Lincolnshire Posy.” “A lot of his music came from that treasure trove, and we have those songs and before we play the six we will play a bit of that (recordings) to give people an idea of the flavor of what it sounded like to Granger,” Conrad said. “I hope it will be exciting. It will be a little odd sounding because of the age of the technology but it will be interesting to hear the old recordings but

Compression socks a tool for athletes Commentary by Dr. Jeffery Schoonover If you watched races or triathlons recently, you may have noticed many athletes wearing knee high compression socks fitness or calf sleeves. To understand why even amateur athletes are wearing these socks and sleeves, it’s helpful to review the circulatory system. Blood circulates through our bodies via a network of vein and arteries. It is a closed system so that blood pumped from the heart to the legs must be moved back up through the system to the heart. The calf muscle pumps venous blood against the force of gravity when we are walking or running. It’s well known that medical grade compression stockings improve blood flow by helping the calf muscle pump more effectively, which helps keep blood from pooling in the legs. These stockings have been used for years with patients after surgery, to treat leg swelling and for varicose and spider veins. Now, there is growing evidence that athletic compression stockings may reduce soreness after a race. Post-event muscle pain can occur for several reasons: lactic acid build-up, microtrauma at the muscle fiber level, electrolyte

depletion and a release of prostaglandins (inflammatory chemicals released during and after exercise). Compression is believed to reduce the muscle pain because the micro-trauma can be lessened and the calf muscle pump increased, which clears out lactic acid and prostaglandins more effectively. What is less clear is the benefit of wearing them during a race. There are no definitive studies that show the benefit of use during the event. We do advise athletes with varicose vein disease to wear compression stockings during events to increase the calf muscle pump function while reducing ankle swelling and venous pooling. For athletes without varicose vein disease, there may be a benefit to wearing athletic compression stockings after an event to help with recovery.

4 IRA mistakes you should avoid Commentary by Adam Cmejla

ITALIAN RESTAURANT

SCAN TO DOWNLOAD OR REDEEM A COUPON

3150 E SR 32, WESTFIELD, IN 317.804.2051 www.jrazzos2.com

The Individual Retirement Account is the Titanic of most peoples’ retirement plan — it typically tends to be their biggest asset finance at retirement. But there are a number of issues that can occur that are not advantageous to investors if proper planning and monitoring are not done. Let’s highlight four areas where we’ve seen mistakes occur: Not taking your required minimum distribution The IRS requires you to start taking out a portion of your IRA each year after you turn 70.5, even if you don’t need the money. During the year in which you turn 70.5, you have up until April 15th of the following year to make that distribution, but keep in mind that you will have to make two distributions that year: the one for the year in which you turned 70.5, and then another one before year’s end for that calendar year. If you forget, the penalty is pretty steep: the IRS will assess a 50 percent penalty on required distributions that were not taken. Incorrect beneficiaries Many people think that because they have a will in place that they do not need to name beneficiaries on their IRA’s. However, it’s important to remember that any beneficiary information that is on file with your IRA custodian will supersede any bequests you have listed in your will.

This is especially important if you’ve had a death or change in marital status due to a divorce. Make sure all of your IRA accounts reflect your final wishes, including any charitable giving you want to make. A good estate attorney will help you direct how to properly title your retirement accounts to reflect your estate wishes. Not knowing how to ‘stretch’ an IRA Unless you are the spouse of someone that’s passed away, the IRS will require you to make required minimum distributions from an IRA that you’ve inherited. Depending on the age of the person when they passed away, you may be able to “stretch” those distributions over your lifetime, thus potentially preserving significantly longer the value of the assets in the account. Forgetting about after-tax dollars in an IRA If you’ve made non-deductible contributions to an IRA in the past and therefore have basis in the account, it is important to track that basis. This is done by filing Form 8606 with your tax returns. Failing to file this form means the IRS views 100 percent of your IRA as deductible contributions, thus 100 percent of your distributions will be taxable. This, in its essence, is double taxation.

Beck’s Hybrids eyes expansion By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com The Hamilton County Council voted unanimously to endorse Beck’s Hybrids in a letter to the state, which would business help the company with a tax abatement. Sonny Beck, president of Atlanta-based seed company Beck’s Hybrids, Inc., told the council a 2007 and 2010 tax abatement helped his company added 74 employees in 2012 and 85 in 2013. He said Beck they employ over 400 today. “They’re not all in Hamilton County or Indiana,” he said. “We now serve eight states. We’ve added Tennessee and 25 percent of Missouri and Iowa.” Beck said they have “close to 1 million square feet under roof” at its Atlanta plant. “Most of our product is processed and bagged at the Hamilton County location,” he said. The company is looking at its future and the possibilities with expansion. Beck said they must decide between building a mega center in Atlanta or research costs at other Midwest locations. “We love being here. Expansion would include a research area with technology buildings, green houses and a new packaging plant,” Beck said.

Lisbon and the age of exploration Commentary by Don Knebel

Lisbon and San Francisco lie at almost identical latitudes on the west coasts of their respective continents. Both occupy seven hills and maintain picturesque old travel streetcars. Both span their bays with orange suspension bridges, designed by the same engineer. And both are wonderful places to visit. However, Lisbon has one attraction its twin city can never match – a monument honoring the life and times of Henry the Navigator, a Portuguese prince who rearranged the world, and not always for the better. Henry the Navigator, the third son of Portuguese King John I, dreamed of gaining new converts to Christianity in lands unexplored by Europeans. Beginning in 1415 he planned and financed expeditions from Lisbon that sailed further and further down the western coast of Africa. By 1444, ships under Henry’s direction, reached what is now Mauritania and began carrying slaves back to Lisbon for conversion and sale. According to Henry’s biographer, Sir Peter Russell, “In Henryspeak, conversion and enslavement were interchangeable terms.” For the next 40 years, Portuguese explorers, sailing caravels whose design Henry had commis-

sioned, reached, on average, one degree further south each year, claiming lands for Portugal and bringing back more slaves. Bartolomeu Dias finally rounded the Cape of Good Hope in 1488, proving the feasibility of a sea route to Asia. When Vasco da Gama reached India from Lisbon in 1498, trade with India began replacing the slave trade as the mainstay of the Portuguese economy. Pedro Álvares Cabral, detouring west on his way to India, bumped into what is now Brazil in 1500, claiming it for Portugal. In 1522, an expedition led by Ferdinand Magellan of Portugal sailed west on behalf of Spain and circled the globe. In 1960, 500 years after Henry the Navigator’s death, Portugal’s Salazar regime erected Padrão dos Descobrimentos (Standard of Discovery) near where expeditions had left Lisbon for parts then unknown. The 171-feet-high monument evokes a caravel, with Henry, who rarely left port, standing tall on the bow. Lined up behind him are two ramps of people important to Portugal’s 100 year long Age of Exploration. No slaves are among them.

Question: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hi Jordan, Can you comment on â&#x20AC;&#x153;off of?â&#x20AC;? [As in] â&#x20AC;&#x153;I jumped off of the rock.â&#x20AC;? This is another favorite phrase.â&#x20AC;? (From Caroline Rosewell) grammar guy Answer: Caroline: Happy to comment, and I appreciate the jumping off point. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;off ofâ&#x20AC;? construction is at best anachronistic, and at worst redundant. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll look at why below. To begin, both â&#x20AC;&#x153;offâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;ofâ&#x20AC;? are prepositions. Their meanings overlap when they are used to indicate the object of an action â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as they are in the example sentence, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I jumped off of the rock.â&#x20AC;? They do not function equally in that role, however. Consider them individually: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I jumped off the rock.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I jumped of the rock.â&#x20AC;? The former makes sense â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the latter does not. You could argue, I suppose, that â&#x20AC;&#x153;offâ&#x20AC;? functions as an adverb modifying the prepositional phrase â&#x20AC;&#x153;of the rockâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which is itself functioning as an adverbial phrase modifying â&#x20AC;&#x153;jumpedâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but that seems to me to be the grammatical equivalent of taking a plane to Chicago so that you can catch a bus to Denver. Just take the plane straight there. What I think is actually happening here is that â&#x20AC;&#x153;off ofâ&#x20AC;? is being substituted where â&#x20AC;&#x153;fromâ&#x20AC;? should go, i.e. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I jumped from the rock.â&#x20AC;? The preposition

â&#x20AC;&#x153;fromâ&#x20AC;? is used specifically to indicate the starting point of a physical movement, and is probably the best choice in this scenario, with â&#x20AC;&#x153;offâ&#x20AC;? being an acceptable second option and â&#x20AC;&#x153;off ofâ&#x20AC;? not even qualifying. In conclusion, when you feel an â&#x20AC;&#x153;off ofâ&#x20AC;? about to slip out of your mouth, just stop at â&#x20AC;&#x153;off.â&#x20AC;? Even better, consider using â&#x20AC;&#x153;from.â&#x20AC;? And if, for whatever reason, you find a better deal flying to Chicago and then taking a bus â&#x20AC;&#x201C; by all means, go for it. Who am I to stand in the way of saving a buck? Jordan Fischer is a contributing columnist for Current Publishing. To ask Jordan a grammar question, write him at rjfische@gmail.com.

A basement designed for entertaining family, friends

Commentary by Larry Greene

EXISTING BASEMENT: After cleaning up the aftermath of their flooded walkout basement, the owners of this Zionsville blueprint for home knew it was time improvement to transform their dated basement into a space worthy of entertaining friends and family. Making the space more functional was the main goal of the project. “There was a wall separating the kitchen and media room,” said the homeowner. “Removing the wall allowed for a much better flow to host our guests.” KITCHEN DETAILS: New semi-custom maple cabinets with a Java finish were installed giving the kitchen the contemporary look the homeowners were looking for. The Venetian Gold granite countertops and glass tile backsplash polished off the look of the space. Incorporating stainless steel appliances, under-cabinet LED lighting and a craft beer tap created the perfect ambiance to host guests. GUEST BATHROOM: The contemporary look was carried through into the details of the guest bathroom. The original flimsy shower unit received a major facelift with a tasteful blend of various vibrant tiles. Ivory tumbled stone tile was installed in the niche and on floor of the shower. The Venetian Gold granite used on the shower seat, niche shelf and door sill was the perfect match with the “Modern Dimensions” wall tile.

before & after

The accent tile used for the decorative trim and brushed nickel fixtures completed the look of this spa-like retreat. UPGRADED FIREPLACE: Stacked stone and a new wood mantel transformed the fireplace into a warm and cozy gathering spot just off the kitchen and bar.

RESULT: In the end, the contemporary design and improved functionality made a dramatic difference to the space. “The wet bar is my favorite part of the whole basement remodel. We love having our own adult space in a home that is predominately ruled by our children.” There is no doubt that this basement is destined to host great dinner parties for years to come.
