Westfield residents concerned about proposed development at 146th Street and Oak Ridge Road By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Westfield residents aired concerns about a new development proposed near 146th Street and Oak Ridge Road at a public neighborhood meeting July 24 at Westfield City Hall. Chief among their concerns was traffic, too many GROWTH homes per acre, commercial buildings and home sizes. Jon Dobosiewicz, a land use professional for Carmelbased law firm Nelson & Frankenberg, represented Pulte Homes and real estate developer Mark Zuckerman at the meeting. When one resident said he would oppose the rezoning proposal at every step, the room erupted in applause. Pulte and Zuckerman applied for an application for rezoning for the Landing at Village Farms proposed in June. The group then had an introduction in front of the Westfield City Council and took input and then set the meeting inviting neighbors within a certain area. The planning commission’s public meeting is Aug. 5. “No decision is made on Aug. 5,” Dobosiewicz said. “We then will have collected comments and questions from the council, the public and planning commission that allows us to regroup and only return back to the planning commission when we determine what steps are necessary or revisions are needed to be made to receive a recommendation from the planning commission to the city council.” The commercial recommendation portion is being proposed along 146th Street from Oak Ridge east. The proposal covers 58 acres bordered on the south by 146th Street and the west by Oak Ridge Road. Dobosiewicz said there is a residential area of 41 acres where there is a proposed total of 94 homes, an average of 2.3 homes per acre, two ponds and two parks. “We’ve tried to limit the use of cul-de-sacs. One of the aims of the planning commission is to have loops and not terminating roads,” Dobosiewicz said. The neighborhood commercial buildings would be of residential character, similar to the Harmony development near 151st Street and Ditch Road. Dobosiewicz said the homes are similar to Hunters Run, a Pulte Homes neighborhood in Fishers. “It would be a minimum of a 1,600-square foot area for a ranch home and 2,300-square foot for a two-story home,” he said. The average home price would be between $325,000 and $350,000. In response to criticism that the homes would drive down property rates, Dobosiewicz said a home in that price range is a quality home. “I don’t think there is a place in Westfield that wouldn’t feel comfortable having homes of this character, quality and value in the midst of other neighborhoods,” he said. “I live in Westfield and there are neighborhoods across our city that have values between $100,000 and $600,000 and we are right in the middle.” Dobosiewicz said there is nothing in the planning paradigm saying if the value of homes are $500,000, then the neighborhood next to it has

to be $500,000. The uses permitted in the commercial area for the development would be for local business, day care and smaller retail uses that are 8,000 square feet or smaller or 12,000 square feet, which could include a pharmacy. General business such as fast food restaurants, gas stations, veterinary hospitals and kennels are permitted in the area. Village Farms resident Kate Snedeker said she stood at the corner of 146th Street and the property site, took out her phone and found, within a 2-mile radius, six pharmacies. Snedeker asked if there could be an exemption for pharmacies so it could be excluded and Dobosiewicz said yes. “We’re not in a desert of pharmacies,” Snedeker said. Several residents expressed there wasn’t a need for any amenities because they exist nearby and would prefer the commercial space be eliminated in exchange for larger lot sizes. Village Farms resident John Patterson said his main concern is the density of the homes “The commercial isn’t as much of a concern because I’m not sure who wants to live on 146th Street as a residential,” Patterson said. “I realize the area is going to be developed, but the density, the drainage issue with the retention ponds into our existing lake. Our existing lake already overflows.”

Ellspermann stresses importance of Ivy Tech to state By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Ivy Tech Community College President Sue Ellspermann insists shorter courses are better. EDUCATION More than half of Ivy Tech classes are eightweek courses rather than the more traditional 16 weeks because students perform better. “When we did research around the country, every community college was experiencing that,” Ellspermann said during a Westfield Chamber of Commerce address July 18 at The Bridgewater Club. “When you get around Week 10, life gets in the way and you just give up. When we do an eight-week format, they can see completion. They take more classes. If you are part-time, you take the first eight weeks and then you take the second eight weeks. They get more courses and they move more quickly.” Ellspermann said there are higher passing rates and lower drop rates with eightweek courses. Ellspermann, who served as Indiana lieutenant governor under then-Gov. Mike Pence from 2013 to March 2016, was named president of Ivy Tech in May 2016. She began in July 2016. There are more than 40 Ivy Tech locations, including one in Noblesville. Ellspermann said Indiana’s success depends on Ivy Tech. “The need for those middle-skill jobs, the nurses you have in your hospitals, the employees you have running your equipment, you need the skills that we provide,” she said. “We base our strategic plan on what Indiana needs. We know in the future, 60 percent of jobs are going to require some kind of post-secondary (education).” “We are not just saying come in and do any major you want,” Ellspermann said. “We want to make sure that those students are pursuing credentials that have high value to you as employers and making sure they can get middle-range kinds of jobs that will lead to success and prosperity for them and their families.” Ellspermann said 8 percent of Ivy Tech students are first-time, full-time students. She said 68 percent are part-time and primarily adult students. The average graduation age is 30. “A quarter of our students have dependents, so they are your single moms and

they are trying to better themselves,” she said. “When you come into Ivy Tech, it doesn’t look like a traditional four-year school. We have many 18-year-olds but we have many more of those that look like the people in the room (at Bridgewater). When I meet people in the hall, I never know if they are faculty or students.” Ellspermann said students often struggle because they get pushed to go to college but don’t know what they want to pursue. “At Ivy Tech, you can do your first two years toward a four-year degree or you can come get that credential, whether it’s (registered nurse), welding or IT or cyber security, software development, which will get you a great career in a year or two year or whatever pace,” she said. She said the average Ivy Tech student works 35 to 40 hours a week while going to school. The first goal of the strategic plan is making sure every student succeeds, Ellspermann said. Ellspermann said Ivy Tech went from 150,000 students during the Great Recession (December 2007 to June 2009) to 100,000 or traditional revenue-generating students today. “Everybody who wants a job has one. The bad news is they are not all good jobs,” she said. “They are not the promising kinds of jobs that lead to middle income that Hoosiers need to have.”

Party on the Patio returns By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Westfield residents have the opportunity to explore downtown merchants at a free monthly event, Party on the EVENT Patio. The summer/fall event is conducted by the Downtown Westfield Association and is in its fifth year. It takes place on the fourth Wednesday of each month from June through October. “We get sponsors and it takes place in a downtown restaurant or downtown merchant who hosts,” DWA Assistant Colleene Quinn said. The event runs from 5 to 8 p.m. Guests receive two complimentary adult beverages and complimentary hors d’oeuvres. “(DWA Executive Director) Teresa Skelton started it as just a fun, free community event to engage Westfield residents in the downtown area and just to come out and mingle with your friends and meet new neighbors,” Quinn said. “Just being a fun community event is the catalyst that started it.” The June event was at The Italian House on Park. The July event was at Thrive Fit. The

Cherry St., and the October event will be at Community First Bank, 707 Ind. 32. “Getting people downtown was the beginning and why (Skelton) started it,” Quinn said. “It’s become very popular and a lot of people do want to sponsor and host, so it has gotten easier to get the local merchants involved.” For more, visit downtownwestfieldassociation.com.

Girl makes hole-in-one By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Reese Roudebush had trouble believing she actually made a hole-in-one. “I was confused if it was me GOLF or not, because I wasn’t looking,” she said. “My dad said, ‘That is the best shot you’ve ever hit,’ and I looked at him. Then it rolled in and everyone yelled, ‘Hole-in-one’ and I got really excited.” The Carmel resident shot her hole-in-one July 7 with a 9-iron on the 80-yard No. 6 hole at Wood Wind Golf Club in Westfield. Roudebush, who turned 10 July 1 and will be a fifth-grader at Smoky Row Elementary School in August, has been golfing for two years. She was competing for the Prairie View Golf Club team in the PGA Junior League when she scored her ace. Prairie View PGA Head Golf Pro Jake Peacock and Senior Assistant Pro Ben Gavin coach the team. “I’ve been a PGA Junior coach since 2014 and have never seen or heard of anyone making a hole-in-one during the league match,” Peacock said. “There was another kid (Myles Ray) from Sagamore Golf Club

that made one on the same night in a different match at Noblesville. We have 60some kids in our program (Prairie View and Wood Wind) and play six matches, at least, a year, and these were the first ones I’ve seen or heard of.” Roudebush naturally kept the ball as a souvenir. “My dad didn’t let me use the ball after the hole-in-one,” she said. “The funny thing is the ball number was 77 and it was on July 7 and July is the seventh month.”

SCOUTING SUCCESS By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

Jack LaPaglia got some brotherly advice on achieving the rank of Eagle Scout. “All of my brothers have been pushCOVER STORY ing me to get it sooner and sooner and just get it out of the way, because two of them waited until they were about to turn 18 to get it done,” Jack said. “They said you needed to get it done before you get older because you are going to have a job and not have time to do anything because of your job, school and other activities.” Eagle Scout projects must be completed before the Scout’s 18th birthday. When Jack, 15, received his Eagle Scout rank — Scouting’s highest achievement — at the June 29 ceremony at St. Maria Goretti Catholic Church and School in Westfield, he officially became the fifth brother in his family to earn the status. “My wife (Cheryl) warned me they might not all get it, but they kept plugging along and they all did it,” said Ward LaPaglia, the siblings’ father. Cheryl said the brothers put more pressure on each other than she and her husband did. Only 6 percent of all eligible Scouts nationally earn the rank of Eagle Scout. “I knew I’d get it done. There was one doubt at first when I thought, ‘Do I want to go through this and get all the merit badges?’ But then in the end, I did,” said Jack, the youngest brother who will be a Westfield High School sophomore in August.

Jack LaPaglia’s Eagle Scout project was to build a trail at Cool Creek Park. (Submitted photo)

The bond is shared by the brothers and their father, who was the Scoutmaster for the first 18 years of Troop 152’s existence. The troop was established in 2000. “There some things we can do together because we can all do it,” Jack said. “We all love camping and most families don’t.” The five brothers range in age from 15 to 31. Matt, 31, graduated from Cathedral High School. Jason, Mark and Brian are Westfield High School graduates. Matt, Jason and Brian live in Westfield. Mark lives in Medford, Ore., and returned home for his brother’s Eagle Scout ceremony. “Last brother, last Eagle in the family, I wouldn’t miss it,”

Five Westfield brothers earn Eagle Scout rank

Mark said. Mark, 27, admitted there was a time when he had a small doubt he would gain Eagle status. “I was rushing to get mine done in time because in high school I quit for four months,” said Mark, who completed his project approximately three weeks before his 18th birthday. “I was going through teenage angst. I was like, ‘I don’t want to be a Scout. My dad is the Scoutmaster.’ Then I snapped out of it and thought, ‘No, this is what I want to do.’” Mark said his mother was the glue to the family, keeping the boys healthy and their uniforms clean. “My dad really led us to the men we’ve become,” Mark said. “My dad always said it wasn’t Mom Scouts or Dad Scouts, it was Boy Scouts. He said, ‘Let the boys figure it out on their own.’” Jason, 29, ran close to the deadline, too, completing his Board of Review six days before his 18th birthday. “This is something we wanted to do. It really helped that dad was part of it for so long,” Jason said. Matt, 31, finished his project a month before his 18th birthday. Matt said he did advise his youngest two brothers to get it done early, “You think you’ll have time to do it later and then you’re 17 1/2 and it’s ‘Oh, no,’” Matt said. Matt started with Troop 125 in Carmel before Troop 152 formed. Brian, 23, was the youngest to finish his project. “I wanted to get it done because I was in marching band,” Brian said. “I wanted to do Scouting without worrying about getting it done.”

LAPAGLIA BROTHERS’ EAGLE SCOUT SERVICE PROJECTS

Matt, age 31 Eagle Scout awarded April 2006

Jason, age 29 Eagle Scout awarded March 2008

Mark, age 27 Eagle Scout awarded August 2010

Brian, age 23 Eagle Scout awarded December 2010

Jack, age 15 Eagle Scout awarded May 2019

Matt’s project was to make a place that people could drop off old U.S. flags to be retired. Matt contacted UPS and it donated a package dropbox and had a local decal company make red, white and blue decals for the outside of the box. The box is in the front lobby of the Westfield Public Services Building on Dartown Road.

Jason’s project was to build new candleholders for the family’s parish, St Maria Goretti Catholic Church. He made six portable candleholders that altar servers carry during Mass and additional ones to adorn the altar during visits by the bishop.

The naturalist at Cool Creek Park wanted to be able to show students how composting food waste is beneficial not only by eliminating food from going to the landfill but also to show how worms compost scraps and turn them into fertilizer.

Brian’s project also benefited the parks. He built and installed a covered swing shelter along one of the paths in Koteewi Park in Strawtown.

Jack’s project was creating a new trail at Cool Creek Park. He took an ivy-covered area and converted it into a railroad tielined, river rock-filled pathway, keeping the kids from venturing out into the parking lot and safe from poison ivy.

LETTER End modern slavery

Commentary by Terry Anker

Editor, Everyone deserves to be free, but more than 40 million people are trapped in slavery today. On June 20, the U.S. State Dept. released the 2019 Trafficking in Persons Report. The TIP Report sheds light on this hidden crime and ranks 187 nations, including the U.S., on their efforts to combat it. As Gary Haugen, CEO of International Justice Mission, said, “Nothing happens just because we are aware of modern-day slavery, but nothing will ever happen until we are.” With the truth out there for all to see, we can no longer look away. Our members of Congress have the chance to rise above the partisan bickering of the day and recommit themselves to protecting the integrity of the TIP Report and the American-led programs that help rescue slaves and put their perpetrators behind bars. We’re counting on you, lawmakers, to use your voice and tip the scales toward justice. If we can summon sufficient political courage, we can end slavery in our lifetime. Andrea Pulice, Westfield

Used cars and cellphones oddly fit into the same category of being simultaneously useful, to the point of essential, while being exceedingly difficult to purchase. To be entirely clear, it is not too hard to walk to the counter and ask for a phone, sign a paper or two and walk out with a working device. The problem comes in understanding what, exactly, it is that one has agreed to pay. Forever phones, leases, tradeins, trade-ups, switch-over deals, loyalty offers – wow! We are looking for a reliable device to get text messages from our kids when basketball practice is over, but we must become an expert in fine-print and wholly Byzantine exceptions, fees, upcharges, expansion packs and extended warranties. So, we modern humans turn to the web. We look for more digestible offers without the endless double-speak of hyper-competitive sales folks effectively trained to pick our pockets. Like some updated Artful Dodger puppeted by Oliver Twist’s wicked Fagin, they descend on us, knowing little of the harm they cause as they themselves try to survive. So, the relative calm of internet surfing in our own homes leads to false security that any of a dozen or so prominent sites offer a secure and “transparent” place to make a purchase. We chat with the sales teams. They cut and pivot, always coming back to their own required script. For the tough questions, we are directed to “call,” not email. Is it really for clarity, or is it to simply to loosen up the definition of “the truth” a bit? Why is it so hard to get a straight answer?

Yes, there are stupid questions Commentary by Danielle Wilson Although it’s difficult to believe, school is just around the corner. And with those first few weeks will come countless Meet the Teacher nights and information HUMOR sessions. As a mother of four who has sat through more of these than I care to recall, please allow me to share some advice. Don’t ask stupid questions! The old saying, “There are no stupid questions” is true only for children. It does not apply to adults in a meeting. There are, absolutely, stupid questions. Here are three of the most common: • Any question you ask before the end, after being told to hold all questions to the end. Teachers are professionals. They’ll have anticipated almost everything you want to know. • Any question you ask after the teacher has already shared the answer. There is nothing more annoying than

Mr. Gallagher having to back up his PowerPoint two slides just for you. • That question about the special exemption that your child will need because she is co-president of the state 4-H this year and will probably miss several exams to organize goat and squash competitions (true story): If posed through an email or after the official presentation, this question is of course not stupid. But to waste the time of everyone in the room with such a specific, applies-only-to-your-family, passive-aggressive “my kid is awesomest!” query is ridiculous and frankly rude. We’ve got places to be, lady! For the sake of parents everywhere, listen and heed! Peace out.

One ticket, please Commentary by Dick Wolfsie My wife just took a two-week vacation — without me. Hmmm, maybe that’s redundant. Anyway, in an attempt HUMOR to amuse myself one night, I went to see a movie. “One ticket, please.” The young lady looked at me like I was a lost puppy. Suddenly, I felt very self-conscious. An elderly couple behind me smiled. Then, I saw them whispering. What were they saying? Flashback to that morning. Mary Ellen informed me she wouldn’t be home until late that evening. I’d already planned to spend the day at home to catch up on some work and maybe take a couple of two-hour naps. I had never gone to a movie alone in my entire life. How hard could it be? Selecting a movie, for example, had always been easy. It usually went something like this: “Mary Ellen, let’s go see ‘Shaft.’” “Oh, a movie sounds nice. But let’s see ‘Rocketman’ instead.” “OK.” That was simple enough. Then, I’d pick a time. “Let’s catch the cheaper matinee at 5 p.m., Mary Ellen.” “No, let’s go at 7 so I don’t have to rush home from work.” This time, I was on my own. I walked into the theater. But where to sit? It was always an instant decision. “Let’s sit up front, Mary Ellen”. “No, that’s too close. Let’s sit in the middle.” “OK. Can we sit in the center of the row, so I don’t have to turn my neck?” “No, let’s sit on the aisle, so it’s easier for you to get us more popcorn.” Now, I was without my consultant. There was only one other person watching “Yesterday” that afternoon and I needed someone to explain the movie to me. Plus, I felt sorry for the guy. He was all alone. When I sat down next to him, he moved six rows down. So much for being friendly. I was glad when Mary Ellen got home. I have depended on her since we walked down the aisle together in 1980…to see “Kramer vs. Kramer.”

Cone + Crumb, a handcrafted ice cream NEW BIZ and dessert shop, recently opened at 205 Park St. Husband and wife co-owners Toby and Melanie Miles said sales have so far exceeded expectations. “We didn’t know what to expect because when we opened Rail (Epicurean Market, 211 Park St.), nothing was back here, so we just eased into our opening,” Melanie said. “It was just a very different atmosphere back here, but we’ve been really, really busy.” “It’s been very busy every night. The line is zigzagging inside and then out the door again,” Toby said. “Even on Sunday it’s like that.” The top-selling flavors have been Fireside S’mores and Salty Turtle. Fresh Mint Dark Chocolate also has been popular. “We have everybody taste that first because we have people come in and say mint chocolate chip is their favorite, but we steep the fresh mint,” Melanie said. “It’s more of an adult mint flavor,” Toby

DISPATCHES Lying about money — A new study from Finder.com reveals that lying about money is the American way. More than three-quarters of people surveyed fessed up to having committed dishonest acts for financial gain, mostly without any feelings of guilt or remorse. The study polled more than 2,000 American adults and found that 78 percent intentionally lied about money. The most common acts were pocketing found money and keeping quiet when undercharged. Source: Finder.com Facility fee is hidden health care charge — Facility fees are one of the biggest rip-offs the hospital industry has ever come up with, according to Charles B. Inlander, a consumer advocate and health-care consultant based in Fogelsville, Pa.. Across the nation, consumers who go to “off-site” urgent-care centers or medical practices (they are not located on a hospital’s campus but are owned by the hospital entity) are being charged facility fees that in some cases are higher than the cost of care that was provided. Sadly, the fees themselves are perfectly legal despite complaints to federal and state regulators and legislators from consumers and even some doctors. The hospital industry defends

these “gotcha” charges by saying the patient is receiving better care because the facility has all the hospital’s resources behind it. But in most cases, nothing from the patient’s perspective changed at the urgent-care center or doctor’s office after being bought by the hospital. Now, with off-campus, hospitalowned urgent-care centers and medical practices growing in huge numbers (nearly 50 percent of all doctors are now hospital employed), these facility fees are becoming much more common.

Now it looks like choosing the right beverage also can help. Women who sip green or oolong tea may be able to gain extra breast cancer protection, according to a study published in the journal Anticancer Research. Researchers at St. Louis University in Missouri, led by Chunfa Huang, Ph.D., an associate research professor in the department of internal medicine, tested extracts of various teas against several types of breast cancer cells. Huang included extracts from green, oolong, black and other dark teas. His results indicated that green and oolong teas could stop the growth of breast cancer cells; Black and other dark teas had no effect, he said.

Carmel residents star in ‘Flipping Exes’ By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Nina Klemm and Michael LeSure make for unusual business partners. The Carmel residents TELEVISION dated for a stretch of time they can’t even agree on, yet decided to form a houseflipping business three years ago called Flipping Exes. The Bravo network saw the potential for a reality show on their home design and real estate business. “Flipping Exes!” debuts at 10 p.m. Aug. 6 on Bravo. The first season has seven episodes in which the couple finds homes in need of repair or redesign and turns them around to sell. “I feel the viewers are going to see the dynamic that we do genuinely, sincerely care about each other,” Klemm said. “I’m very upfront and dramatic because I do have a big personality. The dynamic of him dealing with that is pure comedy in itself sometimes. We get on each other’s nerves and there is a lot of drama because we are two completely different people. But at the end of the day, Michael and I do care about each other. I don’t think I’ll kill him, in the meantime.” LeSure, who is a financier who oversees construction, said the fact they have different personalities creates a balance. The partners do some of their house flipping in Carmel, which Klemm described in a show promo as “Beverly Hills of the Midwest” and “a real estate gold mine.” The Flipping Exes business started after Klemm and LeSure broke up. “The show follows our overall process of how we acquire houses, develop a budget and Nina’s role in beautifying a house,” he said. Klemm has been a licensed Realtor for 10 years. “My experience has really helped our flipping business. Working with buyers day-in and day-out really helps me transfer visions of what a client is looking for into a home,” Klemm said. “I had flipped a few houses before Michael even entered my life. Being a Realtor was my primary job and I would (flip homes) on the side, one or two a year, starting in 2011.”

Carmel Film Forum set editorial@youarecurrent.com The 2019 Carmel Film Forum, “Making the Big Picture, Preproduction and Crowdfunding,” is set for Aug. 10. The third annual event will offer three workshops and a screening of films by Midwest women filmmakers. The event kicks off with the first workshop at Carmel Clay Public Library at 12:30 p.m. Following a table read, Eric Wayne Key, founder of Digipitch, will demonstrate his free online screenwriting and film-pitching software at 3:30 p.m. Rachel Murphy, a professional line producer based in Indiana, takes the stage at 4 p.m. She will show how to break down a film’s budget to reflect real-life costs of producing a feature film. The evening session will begin at 6:30 p.m. and will focus on the screening of four short movies made by midwestern women filmmakers. A Q&A will follow. Admission is free thanks to a grant from the city of Carmel. Participants will receive a printed curriculum. For more, visit moriartymedia.com/carmelfilmforum.

The vision isn’t always shared. “As you will see in the show, Michael and I definitely don’t see eye to eye 99.9 percent of the time,” Klemm said However, LeSure said Klemm’s vision usually wins out. “I do feel like I have to reel her in a lot and let her know we are in business to make money,” LeSure said. “But her vision in terms of what she wants the house to eventually look like, I feel she definitely wins on that. She has a good eye and knows what is current and relevant. Budget-wise, she doesn’t win out on that all the time because there are things that just don’t make sense in terms of what she wants to do with a house and it being economically sound.” Klemm said she met LeSure when he was a Sunday school teacher for her sons. One thing the two can’t even agree on is how long they dated. “Depends on who you ask. Michael forgot to tell me we were broken up, so my time frame and his are a little different,” Klemm said. “Maybe six months different,

but we make it work.” LeSure said there was clear documentation of communication. “Let’s disagree to disagree,” said Klemm, who said she believed they dated more than a year and LeSure thinks it was less. LeSure said seeing the finished home product will appeal to the TV audience. “Our dynamic, how we interact, should have some appeal and I feel Nina has a dynamic personality, which is a draw,” LeSure said. Klemm said listening to her clients helps her understand how to do the flips. “Every episode I talk what buyers are looking for and why they are looking for it,” she said. “When we flip, I try to incorporate everything a buyer is looking for in that flip.” LeSure estimates they have flipped 40 houses. The more dramatic flips are featured on the show, LeSure said. “Some houses you can get at a decent price and just need minor things in terms of paint, carpet and counter tops,” he said.

Ober said she was active in the Cincinnati art scene before having her first child. She had been a part of solo and group exhibits. “I actually traveled to Europe for painting work before kids, too,” Ober said. “I kind of put everything back on the shelf to use my creative energy to be raising my kiddos.” Ober, a 1999 Westfield High School graduate, and her husband, Kevin, moved from Cincinnati to Noblesville in 2008.

Blueprint for Improvement: Basement for entertainment in Carmel Commentary by Larry Greene

After

Before

Background: Located in Carmel’s Delaware Trace neighborhood, this home was built in 1997. The basement includes 526 square feet of finished living space.

THE CHALLENGE The basement initially had two entertainment areas and not much room for anything else. The homeowners were looking to expand the functionality of the basement to make it a space that family members and guests of all ages could enjoy.

THE SOLUTION 1. At the top of the wish list for these homeowners was a dry bar. Cabinetry with pull-out drawers holds an assortment of glasses and barware. The cabinetry also features a pullout wine rack that holds up to 20 bottles. 2. A fully tiled wall over the bar adds unmistakable style; a decorative wall covering adorns the opposite wall. 3. A custom, bar-height rolling table was built to provide a gathering space. 4. Luxury vinyl flooring offers the look of rustic pine with the benefit of being waterproof and scratch-resistant, just perfect for a basement! 5. The homeowners love to sing karaoke, so four platforms were built to serve as a movable stage.

Make mine a portmanteau Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: We Americans love efficiency. We also become enamored with novGRAMMAR GUY elty — new things entertain us until there’s a new shiny object that tickles our fancy. The language equivalent of efficiencymeets-novelty is the portmanteau. I’ll admit, when I first heard this word, I could’ve sworn it was a rustic wine village in the South of France. Portmanteau is a French word originally meaning “suitcase.” However, author Lewis Carroll introduces a new meaning for the word “portmanteau” in his book “Through the Looking-Glass.” Humpty Dumpty explains to Alice that new words made from two words being smashed together — like “slithy” (slimy and lithy) and “mimsy” (miserable and flimsy) — are like a portmanteau. There are two meanings packed up into one word. I should note that “portmanteau” is itself a portmanteau: It combines the French words “porter” (to carry) and “manteau” (a cloak). Why do I care to teach you about a French word that was redefined by a 19thcentury British author? Portmanteaus are fantastic, and they combine efficiency and novelty so well. The following are some of my favorite portmanteaus, which were all invented by someone who wanted to be cute and concise. You’ll find all of these words, by the way, in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary: chillax (chill and relax), skort (skirt and shorts), smog (smoke and fog), turducken (turkey and duck and chicken), glamping (glamour and camping) bromance (brother and romance). How about some new portmanteaus? I’ll offer up a few: flarf (a flag that can become a scarf), phowner (a person who owns a phone), roboat (a robot boat) and singull (a seagull that isn’t in a romantic relationship). Perhaps creating a portmanteau that catches on is tougher than it seems. Inventing new words from existing words is fun. It keeps our language alive and vibrant. Send me an email or a tweet with any portmanteaus you create. Curtis Honeycutt is a national award-winning, syndicated humor writer.

Napier: World’s Art Deco capital Commentary by Don Knebel Napier is one of New Zealand’s most visited cities. Much of its appeal is the result of the city’s response to a TRAVEL horrendous natural disaster. Napier is on Hawke’s Bay along the east coast of New Zealand’s North Island, about 200 miles northeast of Wellington, the nation’s capital. The Máoris, New Zealand’s original people, settled the area because of its natural harbor. By the 20th century, Napier had become an important port city, exporting a variety of agricultural products from nearby farms and ranches. On Feb. 3, 1931, a massive earthquake struck the Hawke’s Bay area, killing at least 256 people and destroying the commercial center of Napier. The earthquake also increased Napier’s elevation by at least 6 feet, creating about 15 square miles of new shoreline. Undaunted, residents of Napier almost immediately began rebuilding their downtown area. Many of the new buildings incorporated the elegant and then popular architectural style later known as Art Deco. Today, Napier, with a population of approximately 64,000, is still among New

Zealand’s busiest ports, exporting large quantities of wine, wood and wool. The Marine Parade, a picturesque seaside promenade, passes by the National Aquarium, an assortment of parks, a graceful Art Deco concert shell and the famous bronze statue of “Pania of the Reef,” a mermaid figure from Máori mythology and now the symbol of the city. But Napier’s popularity with visitors from around the world rests largely on the dozens of meticulously maintained Art Deco buildings in its downtown, considered to rank second (if at all)

Exceptional care. Simply delivered.

It’s more than a set of words. It’s a promise. A promise to be there. A shoulder to lean on. Someone to stay with you, day and night, through thick and thin. It’s what motivates us to pursue new ways for you to access healthcare that are more flexible, more common sense, more transparent, and more human. A sympathetic ear, in person or online. A helping hand at hospitals across town, and at clinics right down the street. If this all feels like a pretty different approach to healthcare, that’s because it is. Fact is, when you’re surrounded by Community, you’re never alone.
