With the Westfield Intermediate School students’ ages ranging from 10 to 12, the old elementary playground donation equipment was a little out of style. From a partnership involving the WIMS PTO, Oak Trace Elementary School and the Westfield Rotary Club, WIS now has upgraded playground equipment to keep the kids active. “WIS has a long-range playground upgrade plan. The school has the elementary equipment that’s been out there for 20 years,” said Donna Van Huis, WIMS PTO’s president. “It’s still usable and functional, but there’s nothing for kids to do outside.” Between fundraising through the schools, WIMS PTO raised more than $25,000. This money supports educational programs and physical fitness equipment. Some proceeds went toward the Cyclone Challenger climbing structure, as well as some other equipment planning to be installed in the spring. The Westfield Rotary Club donated two Gaga Ball Pits for dodgeball, as well as their time for installation. The Gaga Ball Pits are not actual pits, but 30 inch high walls with eight sides. “It’s a neat partnership across all things. It’s

a cool collaborative process,” Van Huis said. PTO members aren’t the only ones excited about the playground upgrade though; the kids are thrilled, too, with one student describing the structure as “fireballing awesome.” “The students at WIS have gone gaga over the Gaga Ball Pits. The PTO and the Rotary created an amazing partnership to provide students with more midday (recess) activities,” said Annette Patchett, WIS principal.

Students nominated for Spanish award By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Two Westfield High School students were recognized as recipients of the Indiana Outstanding High School achievement Student of Spanish Award. Elle McFarlane and Taylor Knight were both recognized for their dedication in learning the language. After a recommendation letter from Jen Hasler-Troutman, WHS Spanish teacher, they were awarded the accomplishment. “They suggest that students have volunteer work in the Spanish community, show dedication through Spanish or studied abroad, and I’ve done all of those things, and figured I had a chance and ended up getting it,” said McFarlane, who studied in Leon, Spain, over the summer. McFarlane also serves as a translator through her church, volunteered at Amigos de Westfield and tutors other Spanish students. Knight also studied in Leon, Spain, volunteered at Amigos de Westfield and tutors other students in the language. Both girls are AP Spanish students in Hasler-Troutman’s class. “I am proud of this award because for me it means that I have achieved more than

I thought that I could, and that I am being recognized for my passion for the language,” Knight said. “I would just like to add that the Indiana Honors Program in Foreign Language, which is the program I studied abroad with, gave me the opportunity of a lifetime and that I am truly grateful for the chance I had to do something with my passion.” Knight and McFarlane will be honored and presented with their awards at a ceremony Nov. 7. Both Knight and McFarlane say they want

to continue learning the language, and McFarlane said she hopes to minor in the language at college. “I want to be a doctor and have been told several times it’s good to speak another language, especially Spanish, in the medical career,” McFarlane said. In addition to the girls receiving the awards, Hasler-Troutman will receive the Exceptional Teaching Impact and Motivation Award for Outstanding Spanish Teacher at the ceremony as well.

GRAND OPENING NOVEMBER 2ND

U.S. 31 finishes some construction news@currentinwestfield.com Earlier this month, the U.S. 31 freeway through Westfield completely opened. According to the Indiana traffic Department of Transportation, the final traffic shift opened all lanes, placing traffic in the permanent route. “Upgrading U.S. 31 to freeway standards has helped open the door for Westfield to compete for national economic development projects,” said Mayor Andy Cook in a press release from INDOT. “The U.S. 31 freeway has brought Westfield approximately 15 minutes closer to Indianapolis and the Indianapolis International Airport. Combine that with development projects like Grand Park, and now our family-focused community is being recognized as one of the best places to raise a family.” The Westfield portion of U.S. 31 is three lanes both directions between 146th Street and Ind. 32 and two lanes both directions between Ind. 32 and Ind. 38. The speed limit has returned to 55 mph, with drivers advised to remain cautious as some contractors will be finishing work through the Westfield corridor. Construction continues through Carmel, with roundabout interchanges at 106th and

116th streets expected to be open by the end of the year. INDOT says the plan is to have all ramps open to I-465 from U.S. 31 by the end of the year. Construction is expected to continue into 2016 for some projects on the freeway.

Special Census workers will start enumeration soon, making rounds through city By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com In the past, people have been told not to open their doors when a stranger comes knocking. However, the cover story city is asking for an exception to that rule as employees will soon be making rounds for a special census. “Residents will likely see census enumerators going through their neighborhoods conducting interviews. These interviews should last about 10 minutes,” said Zach Burton, communications specialist for the city of Westfield. “Census workers will be identified with a badge. It’s important for residents to remember that all information given to a census worker is private.” According to Burton, due to Westfield’s rapid population growth, the 2010 census is no longer accurate. By allowing a special census, the city can receive proper funding amounts from state and federal agencies. “The special census means that the city will be able to compete for state and federal dollars at a more appropriate level to our population, and that the needs of our com-

munity will be better met,” Burton said. “It also means residents have the opportunity to help their community by answering the door when census enumerators stop at their address. Each interview by the Census Bureau with a resident contributes to our community. Every resident counts.” Data collected from a census is used by the federal government to properly distribute dollars at the local level for services used by the community. These services include healthcare, schools, transportation planning and senior services. Data can also be looked at by potential businesses to determine a satisfactory place to open a new store. City Councilor Rob Stokes is one of the census workers going door-to-door. “It is very important for everyone in the city to participate in the upcoming special census … This will allow us the opportunity for additional funding from the state for improvements such as filling potholes, adding roundabouts and other road improvements,” Stokes said. The special census will cost the city $625,000 to complete, yet the annual revenue after the initial cost is estimated at $330,000. The money the city receives will go toward infrastructure, education and public works planning. “So much of how we receive funding from state and federal agencies is tied to per capita calculations,” Westfield Mayor Andy Cook said. “With so much growth happening so quickly in our city, we want to make sure

we have the most accurate information available when it comes time to seek dollars for our community.” According to 2014 population estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau, Westfield’s recent growth has outpaced all other Hamilton County communities. Since 2010, the population has increased by 17.4 percent, which brings the population number to 35,297. The city is conducting testing for the

Girl power

FR O M   T HE BA C K SH O P Across the table comes a forecast We had occasion to dine with a customer and his bride recently. The discussion, of course, turned to politics, as inevitably is the case when we all get together. Our guest is a rather astute fellow, well educated and on the corporate fast track, it seems. We talked about the Republican Party, and whether it really knows what the heck it is doing. Our guest was quick to point out that presidential aspirant Donald Trump (R-Billions) would fade after the holidays. Then came forth the poll results showing Trump trailing Ben Carson (R-Md.) in Iowa. Is this the beginning of the end, as our guest believes? It well could be, but we all agreed that after the holidays is the time to really zone in on results. You may find it as interesting as we did that our guest was quick to note John Kasich (R-Ohio) is, in his opinion, an “incredibly viable challenger” and “I think his numbers will improve” in the new year. We’re not so sure, but that would be interesting to watch. ••• Here’s another noteworthy improvement to traffic flow for Westfield: The new, $1,328,503 roundabout at West 161st Street and Oak Ridge Road is scheduled to open at 1 p.m. Nov. 2. The city says the roundabout will feature asphalt trails along the perimeter and comes as Westfield is beginning work with engineering consultant Parsons Brinckerhoff on a Safe Routes to School Plan for Oak Trace Elementary School. The plan will identify recommendations in the areas of education, encouragement, engineering and enforcement to improve the safety of students that walk or bike to school. The idea is to increase those numbers. Brian Kelly, publisher, and Steve Greenberg, general manager, are co-owners of Current Publishing, LLC. Write them at info@ youarecurrent.com.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Tick tock

Commentary by Terry Anker

The ticking of mechanical clocks can be heard in almost all of the communal rooms of our home. We wind them each week. We transport them to Arcadia, Ind., with utmost attention for their routine care and maintenance. And we use them for their intended purpose, to tell us the time, as some have been employed for many, many decades. The constant tick tock proves to be a familiar and soothing backdrop corresponding with the ordinary sounds of a living household. The fan cycling on the refrigerator, the whoosh of air through the ductwork and the leaves rustling outside the window in an overnight rain – all contribute to the symphony of an embracing chord that wraps us with a sense of domestic sanctuary. My father-in-law, a stalwart member of the Greatest Generation, elevated my interest in horology to a new level. First visiting the home of the successful businessman, father and World War II Army Air Corps bellygunner, I was struck by his own modest, if

well curated, collection of antique clocks. His attention was at once directed to the practical – taking a train each day to his office in downtown Chicago required constant reminder of routine schedule – but also in the mechanical complexity, even wonder, in their movements and elegance of design. His clocks are now our sons’; and, there is one in my office at work and my study at home. They each dutifully remind me with a gentle chime that time is passing and as each moment expires another follows – each tick is followed by a tock, then a tick again and so on. In it, there is a comforting continuity. Sometimes the chime can be a bit of a nudge to progress to the next duty. But always, its steady reminder reassures that simple upkeep preserves both beauty and practicality. Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

Q U O T E  O F  T HE  W EE K Pride makes us artificial and humility makes us real.

– Thomas Merton

This past week I was supposed to be enjoying fall break while my kids went back to school (I teach in a neighhumor boring district with a different schedule). I had it all scheduled: I’d work just a little, but mostly I’d be bingewatching “Breaking Bad” and prepping the yard for Halloween. Alas, my beautiful week full of fun and relaxation was not to be. Nevertheless, girl power saw me through. Sunday night had me pulling our Honda Accord into a hotel parking lot on the way home from the Colts-Patriots debacle to find a screw embedded in the driver side tire. I moped around on Monday hoping Doo would handle the flat. He did not. So on Tuesday after a quick YouTube video and a glimpse at the owner’s manual, I nearly sprained my wrist trying to get the lug nuts loosened. Eventually I managed to jack up the car and put on the spare. I was covered in grease and sweat, and had to spend another two hours at Discount Tire, but I did it. Girl power! The next morning I woke up to horrible sinus pressure coupled with the realization that I had unfortunately scheduled a dentist appointment for noon. Wednesday was a complete wash except to say that despite having my poor teeth drilled, I managed to carpool four kids to five activities, make dinner and set up a witch, a grim reaper and a zombie Maddie without offing anyone. Girl power! Thursday I felt even worse despite an Alka Seltzer Cold cocktail to wash down some Benadryl. After almost three hours of driving around the Southside to find flooring for our fecal-contaminated house (see previous column), I had to take our stupid dog to the stupid vet for a stupid vaccination. She’s an immature 70-pound Lab with anxiety issues who cannot tolerate small, enclosed spaces.

Sister act: Zionsville sisters share love of theater in two shows By Heather Lusk • news@currentinwestfield.com One is playing a sullen teen. The other will portray a bunny. Yet these girls are more alike than different. Sisters Claire and Cynthia Kauffperformances man have found themselves in paid productions for the first time in their relatively short acting careers. Claire, a third grader at Pleasant View Elementary, will perform in the Indiana Repertory Theater production of “Peter Rabbit and Me” this month. Cynthia, a freshman at Zionsville Community High School, is the understudy for the character Wednesday Addams at Beef & Boards’ production of “The Addams Family.” Both girls began acting at The Little Black Box in Lebanon and have performed in community and small theaters throughout the Indianapolis area. The girls are the oldest and youngest in their family of four children. Kim Kauffman, the girls’ mother, said Claire auditioned for her first role to follow in her big sister’s footsteps. But after performing in “Annie” this summer, Kauffman noticed there was more to it. “I realized, oh no, she has the bug,” she said. Cynthia auditioned for “The Addams Family” simply for the experience of being on that stage, never expecting to be cast. Since understudies only perform if the lead is ill, Kauffman approached Beef & Boards to ask if they would consider a single performance for family and friends. The idea was approved. So on Nov. 4, Cynthia, along with the regular cast, will hold a special performance for which tickets can only be reserved online. There will be no meal included, as is common with Beef & Boards dinner theater, but patrons may bring their own food and beverage. Ticket prices are reduced to $27 as a

result and can be purchased online at www.TheAddamsFamily. MyEvent.com. On the website, Cynthia is asking for donations for a friend,

Rosie, who has Cystic Fibrosis. Rosie, 15, received a lung transplant but is now receiving treatment for chronic rejection. Both girls met in the theater, so Cynthia would like to raise funds to send her friend to New York to see Broadway shows. Beef & Boards generally doesn’t employ understudies, but Cynthia has found the experience to be quite valuable. The seriousness of the atmosphere she finds different than the casual rehearsal schedule she has faced in prior productions. “It’s kind of hard to keep up with them,” she said. “They get the whole show done in two weeks. It’s a taste of what they do in the professional business.” The sisters have found it helpful to have someone in the family who understands their needs as performers. “It’s fun having somebody else who knows what I’m talking about,” said Cynthia, who utilized her sister’s help to practice lines, which have to be memorized precisely as the understudy. “Whenever I get in a show, she’ll make sure I’m practicing my lines. She’ll practice them with me,” Claire said. “If I have a dance, she’ll show me the things I’m doing wrong, and she’ll show me how to do it.” Claire insisted she helps her sister in other ways too, including her big sister’s wardrobe. “Sometimes you say ‘What should I wear?’ and I help you pick that out,” Claire said. Claire heard the Indiana Repertory Theater was holding open auditions and asked her mother if she could attend with her sister. Both girls auditioned and received callbacks, but by then, Cynthia had been offered the understudy role. Claire auditioned a second time and was cast as bird, girl and bunny in “Peter Rabbit and Me.” “Peter Rabbit and Me” is playing from Nov. 21 to Dec. 20. Tickets are available at IRTLive.com.

CHS actors share roles By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel High School theater teacher Jim Peterson didn’t have a hard time casting the lead actors in “The 39 Steps.” theater Everyone gets their shot. “We’re calling it a company approach. The idea is there are 19 actors playing 150 different characters,” Peterson said. “They say from the film there are 150 characters, but there are not 150 speaking parts. We have them play all the leads, but things like furniture, the dog, the sheep, and they play the car police chase them in. “The main character, Richard Hanna, has a hat and coat, and whoever is playing him has the hat and coat. It’s the one who gets accused of murder and has to clear his name. I hope the audience is going to follow it.” The performances for “The 39 Steps” will be at 7 p.m. on Nov. 12, 13 and 14 along with a 2 p.m. show on Nov. 14 at CHS Studio Theater. Peterson said the play is more madcap fun than the 1935 movie version directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Sophomore Eric Bembenek said he’ll play a character in one scene and then a different actor will play the same character.

“It’s a fun show and has a lot of twists and turns,” sophomore Eric Bembenek said. “It’s kind of confusing, but it adds to the humor to it.” Senior Michael Davis said his work with Comedy Sportz, an improv group, helps with this play. Davis Bembenek plays Hanna and one of the villains. “I’m used to it because I play unscripted roles with my improv group,” Davis said. “So I’m used to jumping around and switching characters.” Davis said he helps exDavis plain what will happen to the audience before the play. Senior Kate Milazzo said it’s a different kind of theater than most are used to seeing. “We all get to play these fun, interesting characters,” Milazzo Milazzo said.

Jennie DeVoe just recently put the finishing touch on her album, literally. The inspiration for the album title, “Picking music Flowers on the Moon,” comes from a line in one of her songs. “It’s an old-fashioned drawing,” DeVoe said. “I was a big fan of Maurice Sendak (illustrator known for children’s books). I drew a couple of moons, one for the cover and one for the back.” DeVoe will release her new album at two concerts Nov. 7 at The Warehouse, 254 1st Ave. S.W., Carmel. The shows will be at 7 and 9:30 p.m. “That’s (album release) a good reason for people to come because it’s something that hasn’t been available to people before,” said DeVoe, who lives on the north side of Indianapolis. This is singer-songwriter DeVoe’s 10th album. The album, under DeVoe’s own label, was recorded live in August at Aten Place in Boyne Falls, Mich. Aten Place is a big barn the owners converted into a concert hall. It was DeVoe’s second appearance at the barn. “It had some magic to it,” DeVoe said. “So it was just a matter of getting the right levels.” Because it was a live recording, DeVoe said the price of producing wasn’t as costly. “This album sort of made itself,” she said. “This show had some magic to it. So it was just a matter of getting the right levels. So there was no overhead except for me making the

art.” The album includes some of DeVoe’s original songs and covers of other artists, such as a cover of Carole King’s “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow” and an acoustic version of Sly and the Family Stone’s “Que Sera.” The inspiration for another cover came from listening to her father’s older records. “He listened to Billie Holiday and Louie Armstrong,” DeVoe said. “I remember listening to ‘I Put a Spell on You’ by Nina Simone. It’s a culmination of me hearing a version from everybody, from the Creedence Clearwater Revival version to Nina Simone. It was me on guitar and my bass player.” Prior to this release, DeVoe promoted her last album, Radiator, though a Kickstarter campaign. “We tripled our expectations, so that was a big sigh of relief,” DeVoe said. Now DeVoe is eager to return to The Warehouse. “We did enjoy our last show at The Warehouse in May, which sold out,” DeVoe said. “We could have sold out two shows. So it was the venue owner’s idea to have two shows back-to-back.” DeVoe said it will be completely different from her last Warehouse show. “I’m always doing something new so I’m not completely repeating myself. We’ll even throw in a couple new songs that we’ve never done before. It keeps us all on our toes,” DeVoe said. Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 at the door. For tickets, visit liveforthemusic.com

Take a bland and boring polenta dish to the highest level! This simple but incredibly delicious recipe, “Tomato, Olives and Capers Sauce over Polenta” is colorful, inexpensive and best of all is a 1, 2, 3 meal, perfect for the fall/winter season. Note: Wine suggestion: Vintjs Petite Sirah or Chariot Gypsy, from Trader Joe’s; both great red wines from California go beautifully with this recipe. The tomato sauce and polenta can be prepared up to three days in advance. Cover and refrigerate separately. Reheat at serving. TOMATO, OLIVES AND CAPERS SAUCE OVER POLENTA Serves: 4 Ingredients: 3 cups milk, 1/2 cup light cream or half-and-half, 1 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, 1 cup polenta, 1/2 cup freshly grated Swiss Gruyere cheese, 2 large onion, peeled, halved lengthwise, and cut into thin halfrounds, 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, 1 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes in juice, 1/3 cup pitted Kalamata olives, 1 tablespoon capers, 2 cloves garlic, chopped, 2 fresh or dried bay leaves, 1 teaspoon dried oregano Directions: In a large saucepan, bring milk, cream, 1 teaspoon of salt and nutmeg to a

boil over medium heat. (Watch carefully, milk will boil over quickly.) Add polenta in a steady stream and stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, cook until mixture begins to thicken, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add the cheese, and mix all well. The polenta should be creamy. To prepare sauce, in a large skillet combine onions, 2 tablespoon olive oil and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cook until caramelized. Add tomatoes and their juices - break tomatoes into small pieces, olives, capers, garlic, bay leaves and oregano and cook, covered over low heat until sauce starts to thicken, about 5 to 8 minutes. Serve polenta right away, topped with sauce all over. Ceci Martinez is a Zionsville resident who was born in New York and raised in Peru. For more of Ceci’s recipes, visitcurrentzionsville.com.

The 105-minute program starts at 6:30 p.m. and groups of about 15 people will be staggered every 15 minutes after that, traveling through the grounds. “It’s pretty rare that you’ll find museum program that lasts this long,” said Rosie Arnold, Conner Prairie education and programs manager. “This one has its staying power because it creates such a strong impact on people, and it remains relevant today.” The program is an underground railroad simulation. “We use our historic grounds to recreate the experience of the underground railroad in Indiana in 1836,” Arnold said. “The guests are playing the role of the fugitive slave. The storyline is you have been brought to Indiana illegally because Indiana was technically a free state. Throughout the course of the

program, you are able to escape and begin your journey north trying to seek freedom.” Arnold said all the characters are based on research on people they know existed. “It gives you a variety of different attitudes and perspectives on people’s feelings about slavery in that time period,” Arnold said. With the guests playing the role of the fugitive slave, Arnold said it is an intense program, so it is not recommended for children under the age of 12. “But it can be a very powerful and worthwhile experience,” Arnold said. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. The cost is $20 for nonmembers and $17 for members.

Cold weather food survey By Joe Drozda and Bob Bley

Written & Created by Roger Bean Musical and Vocal Arrangements by Roger Bean, Michael Borth and Jon Newton

Featuring the hits... Be prepared to serve everyone two servings of this turkey chili. (Submitted photo)

To Prepare: Brown the turkey in a large pot, drain it if you must, and then add everything else. Bring the mixture to a low boil and then reduce the heat to allow the chili to simmer for one hour. Stir the mixture occasionally. Serve with oyster crackers or French bread. If you have children at your party, you can float some hot dogs in this chili for 15 minutes and serve them on buns for the kids. WARNING! Unless you tailgate with wimps, you’ll need to have enough chili to serve everyone at least two bowls of this cold weather favorite! The whole tomatoes become very hot and sooth one’s pipes in the sore throat cold weather post-game tailgate party. Joe Drozda is the author of “The Tailgater’s Handbook” and is considered as the “Father of American Tailgating.” His website is tailgatershandbook.com. He is a resident of Hamilton County.

Football season, in our part of the nation, begins around Labor Day and ends usually after Thanksgiving. Early in the season tailgate temperatures are in the high 80s, with a hot sun that burns us. This is when we need shelter from the sun, we hope for a breeze and we use sunscreen to protect our skin. This is the time of the year we serve cold foods and cold beverages. In a short three months things change a lot. Usually by late season we are expecting cold weather. This is when we eat hot foods and drink hot beverages. This is when we try to find a way to sit in the sun and get a shelter erected so we can be out of the snow, freezing rain and dreaded wind that blows a chill almost right through our bones. We annually survey tailgate lots for menu items and preferences. Here are the 2014 top choices for cold weather main course foods. • Chili is first with 45 percent • Sausage 18 percent • Chicken 10 percent • Non-chili soups 6 percent Cold Weather Turkey Chili Made with ground turkey, this chili avoids a little of the fat of ground beef without losing any of the flavor we require for pre-game and post-game meals. Ingredients: • 2 lbs. ground turkey • 3 pkgs. McCormick’s Chili Mix (or your favorite) • 3 28oz. cans whole peeled tomatoes (un-drained) • 4 15oz. cans dark red kidney beans (un-drained)

This time of year many homeowners are looking into new flooring before the holidays. Hardwood floors are INdoor living a classic, beautiful choice that will last for years to come. If you’re considering adding hardwood floors, however, you will need to decide whether to install solid or engineered hardwoods. Both are 100 percent wood and a valuable investment in your home, but there are some very important distinctions. Solid hardwood floors are created from one solid piece of wood. The thickness can vary, but generally between 3/4 inch and 7/16 inch engineered wood, on the other hand, is constructed from multiple layers of wood with a solid wood top layer. Below the top layer is a core of fiberboard layers followed by a hardwood backing. This unique construction keeps engineered hardwoods safer from buckling and warping. Because of this they work well in any floor in your home, including basements. Because they are more stable you can get wider and longer planks. Solid hardwoods, on the other hand, are sensitive to high humidity and con-

tract with the change in moisture. Because of this, they are only recommended for first floors or above. Most assume that solid hardwoods are more expensive, but that’s not always the case. Considerations such as installation method, condition of the subfloor and labor costs can greatly affect the final cost. Engineered hardwoods tend to be more DIY-friendly and may save you money on installation. They can be installed as a “floating” floor in which the boards hook into one another and “float” above the subfloor. Hardwoods, on the other hand, should always be installed by a professional and are glued, nailed or stapled to a wooden subfloor. Both hardwoods and engineered hardwoods come in a wide variety of lengths and widths for any room.

HAPPY HOMES MAKE HAPPY LIVES. There are no trophies for being “average,” according to Randy Sorrell. (Submitted photo)

Why average stinks Commentary by Randy Sorrell It’s a constant battle for those of us forwarding the definition of luxury outdoor living spaces. How do we outdoor living fight mediocrity? How do we behave differently so that your backyard living space is not a “knock off” of the rest of the neighborhood? How do we NOT be average (without busting the budget), because there are no trophies for average? Here are four proven strategies to escape the vanilla of average: 1. Hire a proven designer or landscape architect with a styled history of success, and a few failures mixed in for gumption. And then follow their lead. Challenge them when your gut tells you to. 2. Don’t be afraid. Be bold and benign at the same time. You will likely understand that when the time is appropriate. 3. Personality … yours, must show itself in the deck/patio/landscape/grill station/ lanais, etc. … that finally gets installed. After all, it’s your space and you are

writing the check. 4. Anticipate. The most compelling of the lessons is to anticipate how you hope to use the space. What moments to do hope to create? And it’s more than “I need a four-top table and an umbrella for shade.” It sounds more like “I see myself and my significant other relaxing most evenings with a book and a glass of wine. Ideally we could accommodate a few friends/neighbors/kids for cookouts. And I want it to feel very urban.” Frankly, it’s pretty simple for us to build a space that looks like page 14 of your favorite supplier catalog. And it will look incredible. Just like the hundreds of others that look like page 14 in the city. Or whatever page, of whatever catalog… But we can do better. We must.

The ‘Pope’s Revenge’ a Christian symbol Commentary by Don Knebel

Teacher of the Month!

CONGRATS!

The winner for this month's Teacher of the Month contest, sponsored by Market District, are: student Elise Cramer and teacher Ann Joseph of Westfield. The winning students will get to have a lunchtime party and the teachers will receive gift certificates to Market District. The next deadline to submit an essay is Nov. 15. To submit your 100-word essay about your favorite teacher, email it to Teacher@youarecurrent.com.

During the Cold War, the East German government erected a 1207-foot-tall broadcast tower in East Berlin, intended travel to celebrate the superiority of the Communist system. The plan backfired, constantly reminding East Berliners of what they were missing. Today, the tower is a symbol of a united Berlin. The tower, called Fernsehturm in German, was designed a few years after the Soviet Union had beaten the United States into space with a spherically-shaped satellite named “Sputnik.” To trumpet that achievement, the concrete base of the tower was designed to suggest a rocket, with a sphere representing Sputnik near the apex. The massive sphere, with seven floors inside, was covered with 140 stainless steel panels, designed to gleam in the sunlight. Even before the tower was completed in 1969, residents of Berlin noticed something the East German architects had never anticipated. Sunlight reflecting from the panels of the sphere created a nearly perfect Greek cross, visible throughout the divided city. West Berliners quickly dubbed this Christian symbol in a Communist country the “Pope’s Revenge,”

YOUR AUTUMN LEAVES...

divine retaliation for the government’s removal of crosses from East Berlin’s churches. An embarrassed government reportedly tried painting the tiles to eliminate the cross, without success. When President Ronald Reagan spoke before Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate on June 12, 1987, demanding that Soviet Leader Mikhail Gorbechev “tear down this wall,” he spoke of the efforts to eliminate the unintended cross: “There in Berlin, like the city itself, symbols of love, symbols of worship, cannot be suppressed.” Twenty-nine months later, the Berlin Wall came down and Berlin was united. Today, Berlin’s tower attracts more than a million visitors a year, many eating in its revolving restaurant 680 feet above the street. On sunny days, Berlin guides point to the gleaming tower and its cross, proudly noting that other crosses have returned to their churches.
