‘Auntie Mame’ performed by ZCHS students By Derek Fisher • derek@youarecurrent.com

The madcap adventures of a boy and his eccentric aunt unfolded on the stage at Zionsville Community High School when the performing arts department presented the comedy “Auntie Mame” April 27-28. Based on a novel by Patrick Dennis and adapted for the stage by Jerome Lawrence and Robert Edwin Lee, “Auntie Mame” tells the story of an eccentric socialite who finds her madcap lifestyle turned upside down when she is made the guardian of her orphaned nephew, Patrick. Taking him on one whirlwind adventure after another, Auntie Mame watches Patrick grow into a man and tries to rescue him from the stuffy, conventional lifestyle toward which he is heading. “‘Auntie Mame’ has touched the hearts and tickled the funny bones of audiences everywhere,” said director Elizabeth Ruddell. ZCHS senior Kellen Robinson played the role of Mame, and her nephew is played by freshman Jack Horn and sophomore Caleb Brown. The show included a cast of more than 40 students portraying the colorful characters Mame encounters, including seniors Austin Rauchber, Tom Miller, Megan Pozywio, Gracie Barnes, Seth Miller and Hailey Gibson; juniors Elizabeth Mitchell, Ben Hansen and Hannah Biggs; sophomores Max McCreary, Annie Weidner, Thomas Anderson and Mia Kaehler; and freshman Grace Ruddell. Rehabilitation Services opens clinic in Zionsville – Rehabilitation Services at IU Health North Hospital opened a Zionsville clinic on April 16. The clinic, 1650 Oak St., Suite 110, will provide physical therapy services for adult and pediatric patients. With the Rehabilitation Services location at IU Health North Hospital nearing capacity, there has been a great need to expand to another location. “I am happy we were able to open this clinic quickly to better serve our patients who won’t have to wait for openings or drive to a farther location,” said Scott Cash, manager of Rehabilitation Services at IU Health North Hospital. The Zionsville location provides physical therapy services, including orthopedic therapy, vestibular and balance training, pain management and more. Services are provided for adults and children. Pediatric therapists at Rehabilitation Services at IU Health North Hospital are skilled at working with children of varied diagnoses and plan therapeutic programs to assist children with their gross motor and movement skills.

Ballard thanks ALI at Star Gala event editorial@youarecurrent.com

Zionsville resident Carol Gambrel, president of the Assistance League of Indianapolis, joined other ALI members and guests in dining and dancing to the romantic strains of “Music of the Night” while attending the Star Gala event April 14 at the Ritz Charles in Carmel. Greeted by soft candlelight and classic Broadway tunes, attendees entered the main dining room and were amazed to see an eight-layered cake specifically designed for the “Music of the Night” Star Gala. Guests bid on silent and live auction items, enjoyed dinner and ended the evening with dancing. Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard welcomed the evening’s guests and thanked the ALI for the worthwhile efforts of its membership in helping people in need in central Indiana. The Star Gala raised approximately $75,000 to provide services for the socially and economically underserved through four philanthropic programs: Operation School Bell, Assault Survivor Kits, ALI Friends and ALI Bears. Last year, more than 7,000 children and adults were served by the ALI. A highlight of the evening was the presentation of the Star Gala Award to Hunt Construction Group, in recognition of its generous financial support and in-kind contributions during many years. This partnership is an excellent example of how a large company and a nonprofit can partner in their efforts to promote charitable endeavors throughout the community For more information about the ALI, go to www.alindy.org. Summer concerts – The summer concerts at Klipsch Music Center open for the season with Brad Paisley and special guests The Band Perry May 19.

Plain talk

Honey: More than a sweet story Fine Lines, INC Commentary by Ward Degler

Here are a few things you might not know about honey. As a food, it is not only durable, but virtually indestructible. A jar of the stuff was found in one of the Egyptian pyramids some 2,500 years after it was placed there. It was still recognizable as honey. I’ve used it as a sweetener and as a source of quick energy for years, but didn’t know of its medicinal value until recently. I get occasional cold sores in my mouth. They usually linger for days. Someone told me to apply a little honey to the spot, and within hours, the sore began to heal. Apparently, honey is hypertonic, which means it draws all the water from bacteria, causing it to die. Plus, when bees make honey, they excrete an enzyme into it which breaks down and creates hydrogen peroxide, a mild household antibiotic. People report hay fever and other allergies

vanish after adding honey to their diets. The reason? Honey contains the same pollens that cause the allergies in the first place, and works as an antihistamine. It’s best to buy raw, local honey, however. If it comes from somewhere else, it doesn’t contain your area pollens. And if it is heated or pasteurized, all the good stuff has been removed, reducing it to little more than sugar. Add apple cider vinegar to honey and more magic happens. Mix it with hot water and drink it as a treatment for gout and for arthritis. Doctors are still sorting out exactly why this works. The ancient Egyptians knew all of this, of course. In fact, more than 500 Egyptian medical treatments from the days of the Pharaohs were linked to honey. And now we know. Ward Degler lives in Zionsville with his wife and dog.

Spring lawn applications Commentary by Chris Arney

May is the time for the second turf application of the season. The objective is to control broadleaf weeds and provide a dose of nitrogen fertilizer to feed the turf. Whether you contract this service or perform it yourself, it is helpful to understand the details. Most broadleaf weeds are easily controlled with a post-emergent broadleaf herbicide. As a standard, most lawn services use a liquid product that will coat the leaves, penetrate into the plant and eliminate it relatively quickly. Liquid applications should be applied to turf when it is dry. Homeowners have access to liquid products. However, many choose a “four-step program” sold at garden centers. If using a granular weed control product, apply when the grass is wet. Moisture on the leaves will dissolve the

granules, allowing the chemical to be absorbed into the plant. The second component to this application is fertilizer. Fertilizer analyses are usually three numbers (nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium). Choose a fertilizer with a minimal amount of phosphorus. Most lawns do not need phosphorus and it contributes to water pollution if too much is applied. Most of the nitrogen should be in a slow-release form; this will feed the turf over time instead of all at once. Rotary spreaders are best for applying granular products. The biggest application error is not overlapping “passes” as the product is applied. When operating a rotary spreader, you should sling fertilizer to the center of the wheel tracks of the last pass. Entire overlap ensures even coverage and helps to avoid striping the lawn with dark green areas. Read and follow the product label. Clean granules off of hard surface to prevent polluting the runoff water. Applying now will pacify your lawn until July, when it’s time to perform the third of the season. Chris Arney is the director of landscaping operations at EA Outdoor Services. You may contact him at Chris.Arney@ EAOutdoorServices.com.

Cover story Budd Glassberg has logged more than 800 miles this year with no plans to slow down By Derek Fisher • derek@youarecurrent.com Those witty beer commercials would have you believe the most interesting man in the world is unfailingly found in some exotic locale, bearded and tan and handsome, always surrounded by gorgeous women. In all actuality, the most interesting man in the world most likely works at Cedar Street Management in Zionsville. Meet Budd Glassberg: runner, Chicago Cubs fan, cancer survivor, race promoter, rower, amateur barista and so much more.

About Budd: • Born in Illinois, he later moved to New England and California before settling in Zionsville. • ZCHS cross-country coach from 1996 to 2008. • Married with two daughters. • Average run was seven miles a day this winter. • Holds the world record for a 10-mile run.

10 | May 1, 2012

Glassberg at the start of the FANS 12hour marathon in Minneapolis. Glassberg, a Zionsville resident since 1984, is something of a local legend among runners, and for good reason. At age 62, he runs nearly every day, often barefoot. While those accomplishments are startling in and of themselves, it is Glassberg’s penchant for covering long distances that really strikes a chord. “I’ve run 100 miles in a day twice,” Glassberg says with all the enthusiasm of discussing a tax return or dental checkup. “I don’t want to sound like a kook, but I’ve run almost 800 miles this year already. I do a lot of distance running.” Starting during his childhood outside of Chicago, movement has been a constant for Glassberg. When his first-grade teacher struggled to keep a young Glassberg still in the classroom, medication was discussed. Instead, Glassberg’s mother suggested tiring the boy out would accomplish the same end. And so, Glassberg raced the bus more than a mile distance between his front door and the school’s doors every day. On foot. “It was so much fun,” Glassberg said of hoofing it to school each day. “In the beginning, it seemed like such a long distance, but after a while, it became too easy.” Fifty-five years later, running still comes easily to Glassberg. He mostly runs in and around Zionsville, with an occasional trip to Indianapolis’ Eagle Creek Park thrown in. He wears no headphones, loves to run in the woods and says stepping on glass at speed in his bare feet is no big deal. What was a big deal for Glassberg were plantar fasciitis and cancer. He beat both. “The only break in my running was during the two years I had plantar fasciitis,” Glassberg recalled. “The angle of modern running shoes makes you land on your heel, which is quite unnatural. That caused my problem, and after that, I vowed never to be injured again.” The unwanted hiatus forced Glassberg to relinquish cross-country coaching duties at Zi-

Current in Zionsville

onsville Community High School, but also led him to take up rowing and begin running either barefoot or in minimalist shoes. These days, Glassberg has a handful of shoemakers he sends traces of his feet to; he is sent a pair of custom shoes in return. His cancer ordeal six years ago was similarly unique – advised to have his prostate removed, Glassberg instead did research and ended up at Indiana University for Proton Therapy. Five years after nine weeks’ worth of daily treatments, he’s cancer-free. In between his maladies, Glassberg began the Zionsville Anti-Mini Marathon. Boone County’s answer to the larger, more well-known half marathon in Indianapolis, the Anti-Mini is everything its big brother is not: free and less a competition than an event. “Money is not a factor in the Anti-Mini,” Glassberg says. “It’s all-inclusive and people are there to have a good time.” Glassberg passed the reins of the Anti-Mini on to Zionsville’s Jeff Kimbell some three years ago, but is still involved as a participant and volunteer. On race day, he’ll log about 40 miles instead of the requisite 13.1. “I’ll run the course before the race and throw in an extra mile,” he says. “Then I’ll run the race and run the course again afterward.” Such is the lifestyle at this point for Glassberg; he’s content to get his prodigious running in, roast his own coffee and follow the woebegone Chicago baseball club. How long will he keep this up? “I just enjoy going out and running every day,” he says. “I’m old enough, I think, to have earned that. I’ll probably keel over and die, and that will be when the running stops. And that would be nice.”

The 2012 Anti-Mini Marathon is slated for Saturday. The 10th annual event will begin at 7:25 a.m. behind Zionsville Town Hall. Runners may choose to run one lap (4.4 miles), two laps (8.7 miles) or all three laps (13.1 miles) on a route through the Zionsville Rail Trail and Starkey Park. The event has no registration or entry fee. There are no aid stations, although runners may bring their own water, etc., and visit at the picnic table. Parking will be behind Zionsville Town Hall, a few steps from the start/finish line.

Truth from government

It is our position the bedrock of democracy – trust in government – cannot be permitted to erode through inattentiveness or obfuscation by our elected officials. A recent Current article pointed out Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard twice circulated inaccurate information regarding the existence and content of an environmental study involving the old grain elevator along the Monon Trail. Afterward, his explanation was he simply passed along the facts he was provided by his staff. We don’t doubt his account, but we question whether he would have dug deeper into the facts had the study’s purported conclusions not supported his position. This example is trivial when compared to the omissions, half-truths and outright deceptions regularly disseminated by politicians of all persuasion and position. Unfortunately, we as citizens of a representative democracy have come to assume our government is less than truthful, and the news outlets further spin the story to suit a particular position. Again, not to pick on Brainard for his error, but the situation highlights the need for a vigilant press corps who will not accept all statements without investigation and a citizenry that holds its elected officials accountable for the information they disseminate.

Let's get physical

Commentary by Terry Anker

In a world controlled by the boundaries of physics, why do we still push the axiom dictating we cannot be in two places at once? We book and stretch to make the commute from one city to another, optimistically clinging to the belief we can shuttle amongst the final meeting of the day, attending an away track meet for kid No. 1 and still patiently reviewing homework with the second offspring. While we humans are blessed with a depth of ability, capacity and fortitude seldom fullytaxed, can we manage to attend to our obligations when they are simultaneously dislocated? All too often, I find myself unable to meet those commitments that arise countervailing one to the other. In fact, it seems many of my own good intentions fall victim of too much, too far apart. We end up creating (and most sincerely regretting) the inconvenience caused to those others, as any thoughtful person might be, who manage to be on time and prepared for discussion. Do they simply

under-schedule knowing traffic snarls and meetings go long? Do these to-be-admired folks have some pass to an elaborate system that transports them from one side of town to the other without the pesky twin distractions of time and space? Cellphones and all manner of tools now make our time more efficient. We can do more in a more compact space. And boy, do we do more! Yet, have we simply pushed ourselves to the inevitable result of failure? Are we better served to do less better? In a world of more communication, more productivity and more encounters, should we hoard our time, guarding it jealously against our tendency to squeeze in one further thing? I’d like to consider the question, but it looks like I’m late for my next meeting …

A guest column about the Zionsville Community Schools referendum in last week’s edition raised a few eyebrows around town. Some folks took exception to the word “lie” in association with Supt. Scott Robison and his handling of the district. Hindsight being the perfect tool it is, we believe it slipped through the cracks in editing. Our guest columnists and letter-writers are free to express opinions, and we do not legislate one word of any of it. We should, however, have caught that offending word. As a side note, and we have pointed this out before, we have nothing but the highest regard for Robison, a man whose job we wouldn’t trade for in a million years. We believe he is unfailingly frank about the state of fiscal affairs in the district, and we further believe he is working his tail off to make the bottom lines come together the best way he knows how. This is not to say others aren’t entitled to divergent opinions, because they most certainly are, and this newspaper’s “doors” are open to all. Still and all, we should have had a sharper editing eye. ••• Your May 8 edition of Current in Zionsville actually will be delivered this Saturday in an effort to offer you additional time to read up on the primary election, which is May 8.

As we’ve reminded you before, your vote really does count – and if you don’t vote, you don’t have a right to complain about the outcome of any particular race or races, in our opinion.

Til dentures do us part Laughs by Danielle Wilson

I hate the dentist. Not personally, of course. I actually like mine very much. But I hate the whole dental experience, especially if it’s for a potentially-painful procedure. Take fillings, for example. A few weeks back, once I’d survived the torturous cleaning process, I received bad news – double cavities. Dun, dun, dunnn. In shock, I made an appointment for the following Monday, already knowing I would find some way to postpone it. Luckily, the day arrived with a forecast of “partly cloudy,” the perfect reason to reschedule. I left a voice message with reception saying “Don’t call me, I’ll call you!” and promised to not call for several weeks. I was stalling big time, but I didn’t care. The idea of someone, anyone, even a charming licensed professional drilling into the depths of my highly-sensitive nerve-filled teeth scares the bejesus out of me. (I was traumatized as a child when dentists used only diluted “laughing gas” and stickers to numb the pain.) As stupid fate would have it, the following day, my 10-year-old began complaining of a toothache and asked to go see the dentist. Fine. May as well get my appointment over with, too. So I made another appointment and desperately tried to ignore my impending doom. The heart palpitations picked up significantly

during the next couple of days, just as the hours of sleep and my appetite dropped off. When the appointed hour came, I somehow coerced my body into the office (I had seriously considered bribing my son with McDonald’s and making a break for it), and then managed to distract myself for a few minutes with Architectural Digest. Naturally, I let my kid go first (it’s the right thing to do), but then cursed myself for being so stupid. Prolonging the agony only made it worse! Finally, I was up. I begged my doctor for some Valium on the way back, and when he professed not to have any, I demanded, “Then numb me all to hell!” By the grace of God and the Lamaze techniques I learned in birthing class, I survived seven or eight Novocain injections, and then held on for dear life as the dentist chiseled and scraped and jack-hammered my molars. I stumbled out less than an hour later, overwrought and unable to speak coherently. I made a vow, then and there, to love and protect my teeth, till death or dentures do us part. Because I really hate the dentist. Peace out.

Female problems

Laughs by Dick Wolfsie

My story begins with an actual letter I received recently from my supplemental Medicare provider. "Our records show the gender we have for you doesn’t match the information received from the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services. To have your gender corrected, please contact your local Social Security Office.” I dialed immediately, hoping to reach a real person who could look into everything without having to actually look at anything, if you know what I mean. After I answered a few automated questions, a man who identified himself as Art came on the phone and offered to assist me. “Yes, we have you on file. What can I do for you, ma’am?” I could see this wasn’t starting out very well. I explained to Art the confusion that had arisen, but I tried talking with a deeper voice, hoping that might move the conversation along in the right direction. “This is a new one for me, Wolfsie. By the way, mind if I just call you Wolfsie? At least until we satisfactorily address this problem? Not sure I can fix this with a simple keystroke. This may require a face-to-face meeting.” I’m not a rugged-looking guy. I even have some soft features. “Are you on Medicare?” Art asked.

“Yes, for the past several months.” “Which parts?” “Gee whiz, you don’t have a record of those parts, either? There must be some explanation for all this.” “Wolfsie, maybe the computer read your first name as being either a man’s or a woman’s, thus the confusion.” “You must be right, Art. Who doesn’t have a niece or a grandmother named Richard?” “I need to put you on hold again, Wolfsie. Sorry to make you wait.” “No problem. I’ll pass the time flipping through Brides Magazine.” Moments later … “It looks to me, Wolfsie, we have you officially listed as a man all your life, but for some reason you became a woman in our system when you signed up for Medicare. That was effective March 2.” We had been on the phone almost an hour when Art said he needed to check one more thing. I held for another five minutes, but he never came back on the line. He just kept me hanging. Isn’t that just like a man?

Proud of Zionsville teachers, administrators Editor, Let’s return to lower class sizes to give our children the chance to learn in a personal and meaningful way. As an educator, I am proud of our Zionsville teachers and administrators. We must keep and recruit the best teachers. We have higher standards to meet with the changes in education reform. To

achieve those goals, we must have quality teachers empowered to offer excellent teaching. I must support this referendum with two young children at home. There is too much at stake for my family and our community. Please vote for the referendum and the future of Zionsville schools. Theresa Knipstein Meyer, 46077

Editor, I am not certain teachers care about class size and their friends who have been laid off. A teacher who joined Zionsville Community Schools five years ago and has taken no classes to advance his knowledge has received a 23-percent pay increase by the fifth year. Did you receive that level of pay increase during the last five years? If that same teacher took two classes a year and now has his master’s degree, he received a 42-percent pay increase by the fifth year. There is nothing that equates the increase to his ability or effectiveness in the classroom – just education and time of service. If the teachers really wanted smaller class sizes and no layoffs, they would have told ZCS to suspend its pay increases. Pete Heles, 46077

Vote ‘Yes’ on May 8 Editor, The last time there was a referendum, I was an unapologetic “No” – I insisted the school find ways to cut costs. I am now convinced the school has done all it can in this economy and with the funding formula. As a result, I have decided to vote “Yes” on May 8. In conversations with State Supt. Tony Bennett and state legislators, I was told they do not anticipate changes in the school funding formula for some time. As a result, I have concluded the only remedy our school system has is to ask the community to vote for the referendum. The information I used to come to this conclusion is publicly available. I encourage our community to find the facts, not depend on what others are saying. Douglas Rapp, 46077

Liposuction and treatment for aged eyes Commentary by Barry Epply Q: Will I go back to the smallest size I was right after liposuction? It’s been four weeks now since I had liposuction of the bra line, abdomen, flanks and inner thighs. Right after I got out of my surgery and for a week or so after that, my stomach was flat. But then I ballooned up and, while I’m not big or anything, I am bigger than I’d like to be. So do patients tend to go back to the size they were right after surgery before all the swelling took place? A: What you are experiencing is known as lymphedema due to partial obstruction of lymphatic outflow in the treated areas. This is a temporary phenomenon that occurs in all liposuction patients for the first few months after surgery. It is a self-solving problem as the lymphatic channels heal and reopen. This will restore the shape back to what you saw right after surgery. Q: My eyes used to be one of my best features, but now they are just getting oldlooking. I am 47 years old and have wrinkles around my eyes and some extra skin on the eyelids. My brows now seem a little low, too. I don’t want to go through surgery such as an eyelid tuck or a brow lift, so what can I do? Do I need some special cream or some type of laser treatment? A: There is no nonsurgical equivalent to what eyelid and brow lift surgery can do, but there are some laser treatments that offer some mild to

moderate improvement – certainly far better than what any type of topical cream can do. Fractional lasers are different than traditional ones because they treat only a fraction of the skin surface, but each tiny laser point or dot penetrates deeper. Because eyelid skin is so thin (the epidermis is only .04 millimeters thick), it requires a series of light laser treatments (one to four) to prevent a burn injury and get some really visible improvement. Studies have shown patients get a 25-percent to 50-percent improvement with half of the patients maintaining a 1- to 2-millimeter eyebrow lift one year later. Recovery is usually about three to four days after each treatment.

DOUGH

Business

Move the needle: Time Commentary by CJ McClanahan

Successful executives (and people for that matter) understand the difference between an interest and a commitment. An interest is something they’d like to do if time permits. A commitment is an item that absolutely must be done regardless of the circumstances. For those executives who struggled to find the time to develop their businesses, every single interruption that popped into their day instantly became a commitment and their single focus shifted from running the business toward handling interruptions. The successful leader understands it is absolutely impossible to get everything done and every day ends with incomplete items on the “to-do” list. What’s critical is that the most important commitments are complete when you leave the office at the day’s end. It doesn’t matter who puts in the most hours; what matters is if the essential tasks were completed. As Dr. Stephen Covey pointed out in “First Things First,” you need to develop the habit of spending your time on the important, and not just the urgent. Here are a few fundamentals to help you begin the process. First, plan the week in advance. And, yes, it is as easy as it sounds. Take 10 minutes on Monday morning and put together a list of the commitments that must get completed by Friday at 5 p.m. These are the

items you’ll finish regardless of unpredictable fires that pop up throughout the week. Next, consider setting aside time during your day to work on specific items. Blocking your schedule helps you stay focused on what’s really important. The best place to practice this exercise is with your e-mail. Despite what you may have heard, having two monitors sitting on your desk with e-mail open at all times is killing, not helping, your productivity. When you are working on a task that requires your concentration, you should turn your e-mail off. Even the most successful time-management experts struggle to keep the “main thing the main thing.” As a result, my final piece of advice in this area is to take time at the end of each day and reflect. Look back at your activity and ask what you’d do differently if you could go back to 8 a.m. and start over. These reflections will help you make better decisions in the future. As with everything, you goal should be to make improvements each day. As with most things in life, the solution is simple. All you need to do is execute.

Potter spins stone as craftsmanship fades Commentary by Don Knebel Nothing more exemplifies modern India than the call centers my wife and I visited in Bangalore. The jobs are so stressful that break rooms with video games are provided as incentives for people who stick it out for more than a few months, yet young people from all over India apply, trying to gain access to the life a regular paycheck can provide. Not everyone in India is happy with what is going on in Bangalore. On the same trip, we visited a tiny village in which an elderly potter was making clay vessels by the only method he knows. Balancing a large, round stone on a small rock, he spun the stone faster and faster until it had enough momentum to keep spinning while he formed a lump of wet clay into whatever vessel the people in the village needed. Something new had recently come to his village. Connected to a power line strung on a pole is an old TV set, tied to a satellite receiver that provides the first view the villagers have had of the Indian call centers and Bollywood movies. As a result, sons are no longer content to practice the vocations of their fathers, but want, instead, to go the city where they can earn money and buy things they never before even imagined. Through a translator, the potter told us, with a hint of a tear in his eye, none of his sons want to be a potter. As a result, when he is no longer

able to spin that stone, the other villagers will lose their only source for the many things the potter has always provided. Neither he nor the villagers know what they will do when that day comes. For some people in India, the price of progress is very high.

Serious insect fear seriously overrated Gardening by Holly Lindzy “Arachnophobia” is more than just a creepy movie; it’s a real condition involving real fears. And I certainly cannot fathom what it would be like to have such deep-rooted fear. It would cause hysterics upon sight of a spider. But then again, phobias are irrational fears, and that’s pretty extreme. What makes perfect sense, of course, are those people without phobias – spider, insect or otherwise, killing critters as they go along in life for no real reason other than they like to throw shoes. And why not? I mean, they’re like onesixteenth the size of a human. We clearly need to stay on guard. I mean you could be rolling over in bed one night and trap one, and then it could bite you. That would be horrific. Around central Indiana, your chances of rolling onto a poisonous spider are pretty slim, but still … think of the little, round painful bump it will leave. Thank goodness you’re asleep and will never even know. It’d be different if they had any redeeming value at all. Something like voracious preying on really icky bugs, or maybe an important part of the food chain, even, for other “more-desirable” wildlife. That would make spiders way better and we could maybe live with them after all. Wait. You see where I’m going with this … Being the self-proclaimed insect advocate I am, I have a mission in life to save the helpless creatures of the world. Most times, be it bug,

bee or bigger, they don’t even “bug” us one bit and you don’t even know they’re there. Why not, instead of sole-smacking every insect or spider you see, put a glass over it, slide a paper under the glass and transport the little guy outside … to his family and friends? Here’s the thing, bugs are living creatures. They can’t help they’re creepy and crawly. Imagine what they must think of you. So live and let live.

New shower design serves family’s needs Commentary by Larry Greene Original bathroom: This home, located in the Bayhill subdivision on the east side of Carmel, was built about 12 years ago. The homeowners have two sons, 25 and 30, and each has a disability. When they built the house, both boys were still walking, so they had their bathroom built with an Americans with Disabilities Act shower with wheelchair accessibility. As the boys became less able to maneuver on their own, the limitations of the original design became apparent. Shower drain problems: The only drain in the bathroom was in the center of the shower. Water from the shower tended to drain all over the bathroom floor with nowhere to go. The owners commented, “After years of dealing with soaking towels and a floor beginning to heave from the water, we decided it was time to renovate the space to better suit the present and future needs of our sons.” Special shower details: The homeowners worked with the design team to come up with a design that suited the needs of the family. The original shower/bath area was turned into one large, walk-in shower with a built-in bench along the entire back wall. Two shower heads

were installed in a space that can accommodate wheelchairs. Glass blocks were installed in the window area to allow light with privacy. In the previous design, the bench and floor were slippery when wet, making the space dangerous. The new shower floor includes flamed granite tile, which undergoes a procedure that pops the crystals off the granite, giving it texture and is, therefore, not slippery. To deal with the drainage issue, a linear drain was installed against the back wall under the bench, allowing the whole shower floor to be gently sloped back, rather than creating a bowl-like effect to a center drain.

Mark your calendars for the CarmelFest 2012 Celebration on July 3rd & 4th.

After Final results: The homeowners commented, “The new design works very well for our sons and we were able to keep the original wallpaper and colors, which they liked.” Larry Greene is the president of Case Design/Remodeling, a full-service design/build firm serving Hamilton County.
