Administrators are actively working with members of the Indiana General Assembly to adopt changes to the funding formula which will recognize districts such as Zionsville for academic success. Additionally, savings should be realized in both the Pension Bond Fund and Debt Service Fund when those bonds are eligible to be refinanced in 2014 and 2015, respectively. The Indiana Department of Local Government Finance reviews school district budgets, makes cuts and determines the actual property tax rate. The budget, currently under review by the Board of Trustees, reflects the anticipated reductions to the advertised budget amounts as part of this process. In addition to the separate rate for the operating referendum approved by voters last spring, the school district anticipates that the tax rate set by the DLGF as part of the current budget process will be approximately $1.42. However, due to the property tax caps enacted in 2009, this amount will be reduced for approximately 90 percent of Zionsville homeowners. The Board of Trustees will reconvene tomorrow at 6 p.m. at the Educational Services Center, 900 Mulberry St., to approve the 2013 budget.

Plain talk/Et. cetera

My dad and wild cranberries Commentary by Ward Degler

Thanksgiving is a month away but I’m already seeing ads for cranberry sauce. Cranberry sauce always reminds me of my dad. It was the tag end of the Great Depression, and we were living in the north woods of Wisconsin. It was about this time of year and the ubiquitous swampland of that part of the country was coated with a thin layer of ice. “We’re going to make fresh cranberry sauce,” he announced, tossing us our heavy winter coats. We piled into the car and drove deep into the primal reaches of the national forest. He stopped the car at the edge of a murky bog. Muskrats had built their mounds at one end, and withered cattails poked through the ice. The sun was shining but barely reached us through the canopy of trees above Dad took off his new leather boots and waded barefoot into the bog, breaking the ice as he went. He carried with him a metal bucket and a wooden ladle he had fashioned from some scrap lumber.

For long minutes he walked across the bog, sweeping the ladle through the water and depositing a rich lode of wild cranberries in the bucket. When the bucket was full, he returned to the car. His legs were blue. Mom grabbed a towel she had brought along, and vigorously rubbed his feet and legs dry. He was in obvious pain. Later that evening, Mom filled six quart jars with freshly brewed cranberry sauce. Dad lay on the sofa with his feet resting on a pillow. When Thanksgiving rolled around, we had venison instead of turkey, but in the center of the table was a large bowl of cranberry sauce. Nothing has tasted so good since. For years, Dad had pain in his legs. He never complained, but he never went out to gather cranberries again either. Ward Degler lives in Zionsville with his wife and dog. He is author of “The Dark Ages of My Youth … and Times More Recent.” You can contact him at wdegler@comcast.net.

Behavior Analysis Center for Autism to host grand opening By Derek Fisher • derek@youarecurrent.com

The Behavior Analysis Center for Autism will host an open house and special ribbon cutting ceremony for the grand opening of its new Zionsville facility, BACA-Z, on Oct. 25. The new facility, located at 6704 Central Blvd. in Whitestown, will be commemorated beginning at 9:30 a.m. BACA-Z previously was serving children and young adults with autism and their families in a temporary location at Eagle Church. The new building is located on three acres in the Anson Development. “This beautiful new building and convenient Habarad location will allow our current clients in the Zionsville area the opportunity to spend more time with their families while still receiving quality treatment,” said Sheila Habarad, clinical director of BACA-Z. “The new facility also will allow BACA to serve more families on the northwest side, such as Brownsburg, Avon, Sheridan, Lebanon and Lafayette.” Having added more room with the expansion, BACA-Z is now accepting new clients and will serve up to 40 children and employ approximately 50 staff. Features of the new building include a large motor room, a spacious playground, a media room, showers and a life skills area. BACA provides a continuum of Applied Behavior Analysis services to children and young adults with autism in four different locations, of which the Zionsville campus is the newest. Treatment is based on current research findings from the most experienced scholars in the field of behavior analysis in the areas of teaching language, social, self-help, academic and employment skills.

Cover Story Ford Road bridge issue is still a stalemate By Derek Fisher • derek@youarecurrent.com It’s a question that has lingered for more than two and one-half decades in southeastern Boone County: How to improve the convergence of Eagle Creek, Ford Road and 96th Street? At present, if one travels into the area by going south on Ford Road, he is greeted by, in order: A T-road with poor sightlines on his right, an aging, narrow bridge carrying him over the waterway and an unwieldy, 90-degree left turn. It is a beautiful area known for its Tunnel of Trees, but lacks functionality. As Zionsville speeds towards growth, a better solution is needed; it appears, though, that a viable answer is a long way off. “We need a solution, need to start looking past where we’ve had our heels dug in,” said Boone County Councilman Gene Thompson. “Nothing is Thompson getting done now.” Nothing has gotten done in the area for quite some time, but not for lack of trying. As early as the mid-1980s, tentative plans to modernize 96th Street and Ford Road between Interstates 465 and 865 were on the table. After those thoughts fell by the wayside, due in part to homeowners’ concerns about the removal of the Tunnel of Trees, attention turned in 2006 to the possible installation of a steel truss bridge, once used in Shelby County. It is that thought that has been a point of contention ever since. “It will last for 100 years,” said Marc Applegate, President of the Boone County Commissioners and one of the foremost proponents of the truss bridge. “It fits the area, and we wouldn’t have Applegate to take out the Tunnel of Trees. I don’t see any minuses.” Applegate appears to have more than his share of dissenters when it comes to that opinion. Thompson is one. “There’s no question the quickest would be the truss bridge,” he said. “My concern is 20 or 25 years from now when Zionsville needs a different transportation plan or the bridge becomes problematic, people are going to look at the County Council and ask why we ever decided to build it – why was money ever approved to be spent on it.” The bulk of Thompson’s and his Council mates’ – who on July 11 defunded the truss project – concerns stem from its aptitude for the proposed application. In its former life, the 75-year-old bridge was part of Ind. 44 and served approximately 4,000 cars per day. Today, the 24-foot wide bridge – the same

width as the current span – sits unassembled in a state-owned pasture near Greenfield and would carry 8,000 cars a day over Eagle Creek. “(It would be) a disaster to erect the old truss,” said Dan Clark, a Boone County resident and engineer. “This fact would not change even with minor widening.” Clark also touched on the fact that the area in question resides in the Traders Point Eagle Creek Rural Historic District, making it extremely difficult to remedy the bridge situation should a problem arise. “That bridge would be a terrible burden on the town and county for all time,” he said. “Once we erect a truss in a historic district, we will be stuck with it forever.” The Zionsville Town Council seems to agree. In February, it voted unanimously to oppose the truss plan, and despite subsequent meetings between Applegate, Council President Tim Haak and Council member Elizabeth Hopper, no compromise could be found. “Over the summer, we met with Marc Applegate,” Haak said. “We weren’t opposed to the Haak concept of the truss bridge, just opposed to the parameters to which it was going to be built – it’s too narrow. We couldn’t come up

with an agreement. We said, ‘Let’s look at building a modern bridge, but give it the aesthetic look of a truss.’ That can be done. Marc and another commissioner were against that, and broke off discussions.” Applegate is concerned if something isn’t done soon, the chances at the bridge will be lost. “The state had a contract for so many years, and they don’t want it sitting on their lot,” he said. “At some point, they are going to take it to the scrapyard if nobody wants it. Right now we have no money to do anything, and it is a stalled project. All the reports say the current bridge doesn’t have much life left. I don’t think there’s much danger of it being unsafe, but I expect at some point an engineering firm will say, ‘You’ve got to fix this bridge or we’re going to close it down.’” And so at this moment, there is no answer. The current bridge needs replacing, at the very least repaving – but the county loses precious INDOT funding if they opt to use and asphalt Band-Aid. The truss bridge is a viable option to some, a joke to others, but still the problem remains, right there over Eagle Creek. The two sides do, however, agree on one thing. “I’m not sure where it’s going at this point,” Applegate said. “We’ve been stuck,” said Thompson. October 23, 2012 | 9

VIEWS

Opinion On plans, facts and a serious plea

Green Halloween It is our position that the ritual of trickor-treating on Halloween night is transforming. It seems evenings of canvassing the neighborhood for hours with the goal of filling pillowcases full of candy treasures is slowly coming to an end. These days, the First Lady’s Healthy Food Initiative coupled with a growing number of children with food allergies has jump-started a new healthy Halloween ritual known as Green Halloween. Organic agave sticks, dried veggie chips, grass chocolate and herbal tea bags are taking favor over milk chocolate, taffy, lollipops, and pixie sticks in the candy dishes of those who are concerned about healthy eating habits. Once upon a time, the “toothbrush” house risked being the target of an old-fashioned toilet-papering or egg throwing. Now, the carrot house is considered the “cool” house. Somehow the vision of children spreading out their stashes of green goodies to trade a temporary tattoo for a granola bar doesn’t quite compare to the throw-back image of sugar-buzzed kids trading twenty pieces of bite-sized candy for a full-sized chocolate bar. Whether the Green Halloween trend is a trick or a treat, one thing we can all agree on is the safety of our youngsters on Halloween night.

Terminal patience

Commentary by Terry Anker

Indianapolis needs its own airline. Certainly, the new airport is beautiful. It makes the travel experience better in almost every way. But could we have spent the billion or so dollars needed to construct the new edifice to buy our own carrier replete with an abundance of direct flights? On a day when I didn’t need to leave the house before 4:30 a.m. to make an astonishingly early first leg of a flight to Boston, I might be more reasonable in my assessment of our local travel options. Certainly, those who are dedicated to such matters work hard to give us as much choice as possible and make Indy an attractive alternative to airlines both major and minor. Yet sitting in a filthy and over-used hub waiting for yet again another connection, one is justified in expressing frustration. With each point on the map, the chance of lost luggage, missed connection and weather delay increases. But, we can take stock that our mileage reward miles rack-up faster when our flight home from DC stops

off in Cleveland. I might appreciate the found time to work on a column, clean-up e-mail or explore the newsstand; but in a crowded and odiferous terminal, one’s mind wanders. It might be noted that in the dizzying array of magazines for sale, two tout covers featuring the Obamas with none of the Romneys (incidentally, USA Today’s online version’s headline page uses the name 11 times versus two for his challenger). It becomes apparent that food knows few boundaries regarding whether pizza, popcorn or Italian beef sandwiches are a good choice at 6 a.m. But mostly, I note the long lines of folks already in transit awaiting attention from the beleaguered barista. I am holding out for lobster in the Boston hub – if I ever get there! Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may e-mail him at terry@ currentincarmel.com.

Current in Zionsville

We caught up with one of our friends, one among the ink-stained set, from New York. He had, to us, an interesting take that you and we probably never will see in the liberal, mainstream media. Listen up: “President Barack Obama said (last Tuesday night) that former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney's five-point plan really is a ‘one-point plan,’ and that Romney's economic plan was ‘a sketchy deal’ that Americans should reject. That was actually quite brilliant of the president, because this is what people do: go on the attack, when they have no freaking plan themselves. The next time I hear about Obama's agenda for the next four years will be the first time. Criticize Romney's plan all you want, but at least he has a plan. It's very clear now that the president simply is hoping to ride the wave of loyal liberals, and his charisma, into an election victory Nov. 6 with no clear plan whatsoever.” Some will dismiss this as a far-right rant. What’s your call? Tell us at info@youarecurrent.com. … We believe the curtains will come down on the respective campaigns just as they should not – and that’s with each candidate blatantly pandering to groups he covets. We’re begging for pure facts and detail here, and we don’t believe we’re getting that from these candidates. … Let us state it once more with feeling: We need a serious, independent third party in the worst way. … We find it off-putting that Sen. Richard Lugar refuses to campaign for U.S. Senate candidate Richard Mourdock, given that Lugar was enriched professionally and financially during his long and – many would say – distinguished career. With the control of the Senate so important to the Republican party, how could Lugar turn his back on the party? It just reinforces that we did the right thing in voting against him in the primary.

Trouble with toddlers

Commentary by Danielle Wilson Just as I was wondering what to write about this week, Fate snickered and sent me a 2-year old. Now I’m trying to figure out how I can possibly cram all of this toddler fodder into one column. Here’s my best shot. When my brother-in-law and his wife had their third baby during the weekend, my husband and I offered to watch their older girls while they were at the hospital. Their kindergartner I can handle, but the shorter one, hereafter referred to as the LydieMonster (LM), apparently not so much. Our first evening together went quite well actually. The LM was so tired from being in a strange house with strange people that she fell asleep almost immediately. And because I don’t own bottles anymore (yay!) and the LM wouldn’t drink from a cup, she was too dehydrated to wet her diaper during the night and slept straight through (double yay!). Doo and I congratulated ourselves on our clearly still well-honed parenting skills and happily sent our nieces back to their father. That afternoon brought another babysitting request. Doo had plans to hang with another brother, so it was just me with my precious little relatives. To kill time, I got crafty and broke out the paint. Sweet mercy, two seconds, two seconds I turned my back and suddenly the LM was covered in purple and brown water color. No worries, I told myself, it’s washable, so I

cleaned her up and sent her off while I Cloroxed the previously white counter. Moments later a crash had me sprinting to the office, where I found the LM surrounded by trash and chewing something in utter delight. Kleenex? A discarded apple core? Nope, it was gum, hopefully Orbitz but quite possibly Nicorette. Just to be sure, I watched her like a hawk for the rest of the evening and fortunately observed no unusual agitation or bowel movements. A third visit was equally exciting. After tracking the LM down in an upstairs bathroom where she had clambered onto the sink and chugged an ounce of Soft Soap, Doo decided coloring would be a safe bet. I concurred. Non-toxic crayons, paper, what could go wrong? But when I peered into the kitchen after an unusually quiet couple of minutes, I saw the LM drooling a tar-like substance. Huh? She had bitten the tip off a stray marker and was drinking the black ink as it spilled forth in all its Crayola glory. Lovely, just lovely. So we did what any self-respecting aunt or uncle would do. Snapped a photo, emailed it to the trusting parents, and called it a day. Then we thanked baby Jesus that we don’t have 2-year-olds anymore. Peace out.

Doctoring my questionnaire Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

Whenever I visit my doctor’s office, I have to fill out one form or another. Most of the time, the staff simply wants to confirm that my insurance hasn’t changed, which I think is just medical jargon for “Has your coverage been dropped?” Before my last appointment, they asked me about my medications and about any side effects I am experiencing. I never have any side effects, but I usually write down headaches, nausea, vomiting, hallucinations, decreased libido and heightened impulsivity. That way they’ll think I’m really taking all my pills. Here is another question I had to answer: What is your nickname? I’d never been asked about this before and I really don’t have a nickname, but they hate it when you leave a blank space so I wrote down “Sparky.” I knew if somehow that ended up on my vial of blood, it would cause a lot of chatter at the lipid lab. Next, the form wanted me to list any new drugs I’m taking. And then it asked “What is the frequency?” I had my gout medicine with me, so I held it up to my ear, but I couldn’t hear a thing. There were some questions about my family medical history, requesting info on relatives who had died and their causes of death, including all four of my grandparents. My maternal grandmother died suddenly at 94, her demise

the result of large whiskey sours before breakfast and two packs of Camels a day. This should be a lesson to you. I’m just not sure what the lesson is. The next line inquired about the deaths of my aunts and uncles. We were never a close-knit family, but I thought my brother who still lives in New York might remember some of the details. “Hello, Peter, it’s Dick.” “Dick who?” “Very funny. I have a question about Uncle Sid’s death.” “Oh, how sad. I’m sorry to hear that. When did he die?” “1985.” This wasn’t getting me anywhere, so I simply scribbled in something to fill up the space—a cause of death that wouldn’t raise any red flags. It was likely that no one ever looked at those answers, anyway. But apparently, I’m now quite the topic of conversation in the medical records department. I was told that of all the 2,000 patients in this internal medicine practice, I’m the only one whose aunts and uncles were all run over by a bus.

Carmel native returns home for her first trip to the basement By Patricia Rettig • editorial@youarecurrent.com Cathedral High School graduate Hillary Smith has enjoyed many roles at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre. She’s flown with Peter Pan, sang about her hard knock life with Annie and followed the white rabbit down the hole to Wonderland. In the four years since she’s stepped onto its stage, she’s earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at Florida State University and moved to New York City. “I can’t express how great it is to be back home in Indianapolis and back home at Beef & Boards,” said Smith. “Beef & Boards will always feel like a second home to me. I have learned so much from fellow actors, directors, crew members and staff members while performing here.” Now she’s returned to Indiana, for what might be considered the unenviable task of stepping into an iconic series at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre: Church Basement Ladies. On stage now through Nov. 25 is the third show in the musical comedy series about women who work in the basement of a Lutheran church in Minnesota: Away in the Basement. Smith plays the youngest character: Beverly Signe Engelson, a 15-yearold preparing to be confirmed. She is the only newcomer to the cast, which features the return of Karen Pappas as the hilarious Mavis Gilmerson, Licia Watson as the matriarch Vivian Snustad, Katherine Proctor as Beverly’s mother, Karin Engelson, and Eddie Curry as Pastor E.L. Gunderson. “I was a little nervous coming into the process because Eddie, Karen, Katie and Licia have all been part of this show before and I was the only new member,” said Smith. “However they welcomed me with open arms, along with our director, Curt Wollan.” “Playing Beverly is so much fun,” she added. “My mom and dad sat in on our final dress rehearsal and I could hear them laughing out loud in some of my character’s sassier moments. It must mean that Beverly and ’15-year-old’ Hillary aren’t as different as I might have thought! I love playing this character. She has so much to discover about herself and some of those ‘growing up’ discoveries or moments happen in the show for her.” www.currentzionsville.com

Beverly Engelson (Hillary Smith), right, asks Vivian Snustad (Licia Watson) why she won’t attend a Christmas dinner while her mother, Karin (Katherine Proctor), center, looks on in Away in the Basement, A Church Basement Ladies Christmas.

As if nine performances a week weren’t enough, Hillary is also taking the lead role in Cinderella, the fall installment of Beef & Boards’ Pyramid Players’ Live Theatre for Kids series, now on stage Fridays and Saturdays through Nov. 17. The one-hour performances are designed to introduce young children to live theatre. “The kid shows at Beef & Boards are such a cool experience,” said Smith. “There is nothing like performing to an audience of children and getting to see them and their big smiles afterward. They are living the story in the audience right along with us actors on stage.” “I love when a parent tells me that the show they just saw was that child’s first,” she added. “I will be part of a memory they will have the rest of their life.” For reservations to either show, call the Beef & Boards Box Office at 872-9664. Box office hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays. For more information, including show schedule, visit www.beefandboards.com. Current in Zionsville

Beginning with the sounds of 1950s Chicago and traveling along the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Main Street of Americaâ&#x20AC;? to the California coast with the surf music of the 1960s, this exciting musical revue features 34 of the greatest â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rock â&#x20AC;&#x2122;n Roadâ&#x20AC;? hits of the era.

Wellness Determining your breast cancer risk HEALTH

Commentary by Patricia Kennedy, MD October means lots of pink ribbon sightings in observance of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. For all women, breast cancer risks increases with age. That’s why it’s important to schedule annual mammograms beginning at age 40 – earlier if you have a family history of the disease. Yearly mammograms are one of the best ways to identify breast cancer in the earliest stages when it’s most treatable and often curable. Women frequently ask the difference between “screening” and “diagnostic” mammograms. A “screening” mammogram is scheduled when a woman is experiencing no problems or concerns with her breasts. “Diagnostic” mammograms are completed when a woman has noticed a lump or change in the breast. If you suspect a problem, contact your primary care doctor or gynecologist first before scheduling an appointment with a breast imaging center. Your doctor will contact the center to order a diagnostic mammogram. Radiologists evaluate diagnostic mammograms differently by focusing more specifically on the area of the breast in question. Both screening and diagnostic mammograms are thorough exams – they are just evaluated in different ways. Understanding your personal risk for breast cancer becomes increasingly important as you

get older. A new Breast Cancer Risk Screening program at Indiana University Health North Hospital helps women determine their breast cancer risks. The computer-based screening program is easy, takes less than five minutes and is available free of charge to any woman who has a screening mammogram at IU Health North Hospital. To complete the screening, women answer a few basic questions about their breasts and reproductive health, including family history, age at first menstrual period, whether they have delivered children (if so, at what age) and any history of breast procedures, such as breast biopsy. Through this initial screening, women learn if they are at average risk or potentially increased risk of developing breast cancer. Those women found to be at increased risk will be contacted by a nurse practitioner to schedule a full risk assessment. Recommendations for women with increased risks may include genetic testing, a breast MRI or consultation with breast care specialists to determine the best course of action. Patricia Kennedy, MD, Medical Director, Breast Care, Indiana University Health North Hospital, specializes in breast surgery. She is a guest columnist located at Breast Care at IU Health North Hospital, 11725 N. Illinois St., Ste. 545, in Carmel. She can be reached by calling the office at 317.688.5155.

Protecting your home when you are away Commentary by Jamie Ianigro Question from Bryan H. from Noblesville: My parents go to Florida after the Thanksgiving holiday and their house pretty much sits empty until spring when they come back. Is their house okay insurance wise? Response from Jamie Ianigro: Congratulations to them and I hope you get a chance to go visit them to escape the Indiana winter. A couple of factors come in to play when we talk about unoccupied homes and insurance. Notice I didn’t say vacant homes. Let’s start with the difference between vacant and unoccupied. Figuring out the difference between a vacant home and an unoccupied home is as easy as walking in the front door. Unoccupied homes might be a little chilly or a little warm, but people are obviously still living there. It will look like someone could have just left or might be home shortly. A vacant home is going to be pretty much empty and it will be obvious that people are not living there. The fridge will be empty, most of the furniture will be gone, etc. Insurance carriers will not insure an unoccupied home and a vacant home at the same price or coverage levels. A vacant dwelling requires a special policy and is much more costly than

a common homeowner’s policy. Your independent insurance agent can help you find a vacant home policy or elaborate further if you think your home might be vacant. Each insurance carrier is different, but you can start to lose coverages if your home is unoccupied for a certain period of time. The big two that usually drop off would be coverage for vandalism and coverage for losses caused by a plumbing failure like freezing pipes. These claims can both be costly, so it is very important to know and understand your policy provisions if you’re a snow bird. Coming back from a winter vacation to a ruined house can be made a lot worse by finding out your insurance carrier is denying all or major parts of your claim. The important takeaway here is to make sure you understand your insurance policy before you fly south for the winter. Your independent insurance agent will be glad to go over it with you and clear up any confusion you may have. Jamie Ianigro is with Shepherd Insurance & Finanacial Services. Have an insurance question you need answered? Send it to asktheadvisor@shepherdins.com.

Take advantage of beautiful fall colors Commentary by Randy Sorrell The popularity of “hardscapes” has prompted many in our industry to marginalize the value of stunning landscapes. Unfortunately, most consumers have been happy to follow that fixation on patios, decks, fire features and everything else that is not soft … like landscapes. That’s too bad. Expect a return of enthusiastic landscaping as we wake up. Think about it, a beautiful deck or patio stands little chance of being a compelling place to hang out with your loved ones or a personal respite without smartly designed plantings to bring it to life and soften the edges. Anything flowering, that motions with a breeze, has compelling fragrance or a distinct texture has the power to impact our mood and direct how an evening of entertaining unfolds. Fall favorites Well planned landscapes are especially showy in the fall when leaves are popping with color, almost like a final hurrah before winter sets in, screaming “Look at me!” And look we do. Fall color is often a forgotten function in landscape design, but its value is stunning. Some of the most brilliant fall colors are housed on the ornamental serviceberry tree. Perhaps that’s why there are five in my back yard on fire with the brilliance of fall. Green leafed Japanese maples are impressive too with a tinge of bright orange showing through.

Understandably, most of us love the impressive endless summer hydrangea for its strong continual flower statement. Yet, the unobtrusive glowing embers hydrangea is my go-to variety because of its warm plum / red tones that begin showing themselves in mid-summer on its large leaf structure. Flowering is almost a bonus for this performer. Same goes with the oak leaf hydrangea. Autumn is a second spring, where every leaf is flower. Could your outdoor living space use an inspiring dose of color? Randy Sorrell is president of SURROUNDINGS by NatureWorks+, a Carmel home improvement firm.

Fall – Want to keep those flowers alive in frost season but don’t trust the weatherman? Consider daytime temperature (likely no frost if over 75 degrees), wind (a light breeze overnight usually prevents frost) and garden situation (plots on slopes or high ground are more immune, as cold air pools in low areas). - www.almanac.com Huh? – Looking for something, um, unique to hang on your walls? New Yorkers are getting a taste for taxidermy, with dealers seeing a surge in demand for stuffed animals and many people taking taxidermy classes. Some experts say taxidermy brings a "bubble of nature" into people's homes, offering relief from computers, mobile gadgets and other trappings of modernity. "People have really strong reactions to it – it really creeps some people out.

Hardwood flooring

Commentary by David Decker

For a versatile and natural look that never goes out of style, many homeowners choose to install hardwood flooring. Unlike other flooring trends that come and go, hardwood flooring has remained in style for over 200 years with no signs that tastes will change anytime soon. Homeowners have more hardwood options to choose from than ever before. If you are looking for new hardwood flooring, keep the following trends and developments in mind next time you are out browsing. Wide Wood Flooring: Many homeowners are choosing flooring designed with wider planks. The width of the plank used to be related to the age and maturity of the tree it was crafted from. Many years ago, mature lumber was much easier to come by. Thanks to new manufacturing techniques, wide plank flooring has been made available once again. Distressed Wood Flooring: Since the late 1990’s, there’s been a surge in popularity of distressed wood flooring. Planks featuring scrapes, nail holes or stains can create an artsy, edgy look that many niche markets love. Exotic Wood Flooring: Homebuyers are no longer limited to domestic species of wood

Sustainability: Green options for flooring are being developed with greater frequency than ever before. Styles crafted from bamboo or cork cut down the flooring’s impact on the environment. Color: Hardwood floor is available in a spectrum of colors (and not just various shades of brown). Consider installing black, white, red or even grey flooring. Before attempting to select a style of hardwood floor, it’s important to first decide on how you’d like the room to look and feel. The right hardwood style can tie all the other elements of your room décor together. Select carefully; a great hardwood floor can last a lifetime. David Decker is president of the Affordable Companies, which include Affordable Kitchens and Bathrooms and now Affordable Custom Flooring. They are based in Carmel (575-9540, www.theaffordablecompanies.com). E-mail home improvement questions to david.decker@theaffordablecompanies.com.
