Creativity helps local organizations By Abby Walton • news@currentzionsville.com

Holidays such as Halloween are a time for fun, but Zionsville resident Leigh Ann Akard also wanted to create a way for people to fundraiser enjoy the festivities while giving back to their favorite causes. With that idea in mind, she started Pumpkins for a Purpose. “I’d heard of a project where they painted pumpkins pink for breast cancer and I thought it would be fun to tweak the idea so that people could get creative with painting pumpkins and we could benefit multiple organizations,” Akard said. After putting out the call, Akard said 11 pumpkins were brought to Akard True Value Hardware at 25 Boone Village Shopping Center. Each pumpkin was displayed with a card talking about the organization its painter supported. “It’s amazing how creative people were and the stories that accompanied them,” Akard said. Akard said one mother brought her pumpkin in with tears in her eyes and said she created it to honor her late son. His family is working with the Behavior Analysis Center for Autism in Zionsville to create a memory garden. “She told me she was finally ready to do something like this after losing her son,” Akard said. The woman told Akard her son loved to garden and have cupcakes with his best buddies. “Her pumpkin was created to look like a cupcake and she called it ‘Geoff’s Garden,” Akard said. Other pumpkins included support for homeless veterans, Alzheimer’s disease and Multiple Sclerosis.

Once on display, people could place a penny in each can with each group getting to keep the money donated towards their pumpkin. “I think all together there’s around $400 that was raised,” Akard stated. “It was such a neat experience.” Several people created a Pumpkin for a Purpose in its inaugural year, including Amy Lacy. Her pumpkin was in honor of Z’Sparkle and Lacy’s Lights, which raises money for the Alzheimer’s Association. This year the goal was to raise $30,000 and, according to Lacy, they have raised almost $54,000. This puts the team in the top 10 fundraising teams in the nation. They placed ninth in the country out of 40,000 teams and is the only family/community team on the list. “We are super excited with the success of Z’Sparkle. I am just in awe of the people on our team and the support of this community,” Lacy said. To learn more about Lacy’s Lights and Z’Sparkle, visit www.zsparkledragrace.com.

Downtown study to share results By Amy Moshier • news@currentincarmel.com

Is parking an issue in downtown Zionsville? Answering this question (among others) is the goal of the parking and Government marketing study currently under way. The first deliverable results are in from a survey which was open to the public from Sept 5 through Oct. 15. There were 901 respondents, 49 percent have been Zionsville residents for more than 10 years. Two companies, TADI and Business Districts, Inc., have been hired as consultants to conduct this study that will help determine how to further enhance retail, shopping and business experiences. “The goal is to develop a strategy to position downtown Zionsville so that its strengths are enhanced, in terms of what it can offer residents and visitors,” TADI senior engineer Peter Lemmon said. “Among other things, the marketing study will help determine the characteristics of visitors’ shopping experiences.” Parking issues are a focus of the study as many residents and visitors often complain about the lack of parking downtown. “Our area of expertise is the parking side,” Lemmon said. “Basically, we want to understand what the current number of spaces are and how they are being utilized throughout the course of the day. Where do we have enough parking and where don’t we have enough parking? And, looking forward, as we develop over time, what will

our future needs be?” Diane Williams, owner of BDI, agrees. “Essentially, I think what we are looking for is some guidance about the kinds of things that they buy and the kinds of places they dine,” she said. The town has set up a project steering committee, which met on Oct. 22 to review the preliminary findings from the survey. The 20-member steering committee consists of residents, business owners, members of various town committees and interested individuals. It is led by Zionsville resident and Economic Development Commission President Charlie Edwards. “Our goal is to develop a plan that will retain both the character and viability of downtown Zionsville as surrounding areas continue to grow and compete,” Edwards said. “This community meeting is an opportunity for residents to hear what we have learned and to provide additional input as we work toward that goal.” At the community meeting Williams and Lemmon will be on hand to present an overview of the data that has been collected. Full details of the preliminary presentation can be found on the project website at www.zionsvilledowntownstudy.com. Public meeting on downtown Zionsville marketing and parking study for Zionsville residents, business community, and interested parties. • 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Nov. 13 • Town Hall, 1100 W. Oak St.

New method, old message

Commentary by Jonathan Matthes

It’s an interesting time to be a Catholic. You could be sipping champagne at a wedding reception, watching the father-daughter faith dance, when an agnostic relative leans over to tell you that he likes the new pope. That he thinks Francis’ embrace of the less decadent life sets a good example for the church and the world to follow. What? You could open a TIME Magazine, Oct. 7 to be exact, and find an article about how Pope Francis is “a radical traditionalist.” The journalist is using this term as a good thing. What? You must excuse my surprise. We aren’t used to being spoken of in a positive light at receptions or in secular magazines. It’s a change in the wind ushered in by the Pontiff from Argentina. Francis hasn’t been Pope long. But he also hasn’t taken a long time easing into the role. It didn’t take long for his actions (Look, he’s paying for his hotel room!) to be photographed and dispersed throughout the world. It didn’t take long before his words got journalists cranking out stories. In other words it didn’t take long for him to

get the church back into the public forum. The oddest thing about it is that his teachings and messages have not contradicted anything his predecessors have said. He’s maintained that the pope is not like a business executive, as he is often mistaken of being, that can make wholesale changes whenever he wants to. For the record, he doesn’t intend on making doctrinal changes. What is different about him, what got the church back into TIME isn’t what he’s said. It’s how he’s said it. He is both firm and compassionate. If you want a model of how you can speak with love, Francis is that model. That has been the most intriguing thing about the new pontiff. He’s shown us a new way to communicate an ancient message. He’s shown us how to speak to the 21st century world. He’s shown that people are willing to listen. It’s an exciting revelation, one that gives me hope. It is an interesting time to be a Catholic, indeed. Jonathan Matthes is a Zionsville resident and is studying philosophy at Saint Meinrad Seminary. He can be reached at jmatthes@priestforever.org.

Hearts of Fire – 6 p.m. on Nov. 16, St. Alphonsus Liguori Catholic Church, 1870 W. Oak St., will host a formal dinner to benefit local seminarians. Tickets are $65 and can be purchased by calling 873-2885. The evening will include a silent auction, hors d’oeuvres and complimentary wine with dinner, music and a live auction.

Zionsville marketer expands global presence

By Carla Howie • carla@youarecurrent.com

Zak Brown, founder of Just Marketing International, is a leader in marketing sponsorship deals for IndyCar, NASCAR and business Formula One racing. Brown has announced the sale of JMI to Chime Communications PLC of London, as a subsidiary of its sports marketing division, CSM Sport and Entertainment. Chime Communications PLC made a bold move into the sports marketing arena through its acquisition of Fast Track in 2007, which was predominately a United Kingdom business. Chime’s long-term plan was to create an International Sports and Entertainment Group, which has grown to include Brazil, China, the Middle East and Australasia. This strategic acquisition positions CSM Sport & Entertainment to make its initial entry into the global arena of motorsports and into the US marketplace. It positions JMI to expand its operations and expertise to CSM’s client base, which spans more than 40 sports and is the fourth largest sports and entertainment marketing agency in the world. Brown will continue as JMI’s CEO and will assume additional responsibilities as head of Chime’s new motorsport division. Brown stated the 80 employees in the Zionsville office will not be affected by the sale and can expect accelerated growth.

“The Zionsville office is here to stay and was one of the critically important reasons in why Chime was interested in us,” Brown said. “They acquired us for our expertise in motorsports, our clients and our people, and they don’t want to change any of that. This is the most exciting moment in JMI’s history”. The new ownership will provide JMI the ability to market motorsports to CSM’s clients. According to Lord Sebastian Coe, executive chairman of Chime’s sports marketing division, the acquisition makes sense for CSM Sport & Entertainment to enter into global motorsports, establish CSM’s presence in the United States for the first time and capitalize on JMI’s record of leadership in driving major sponsorship deals. Brown’s marketing acumen led to major signing deals with some of the biggest sponsors in racing, including Subway, DeWalt Tools, UPS,

Understanding property taxes Commentary by Mike Shafer

Property taxes can be confusing especially with tax caps and the referendum rate. For example, if we start with a typical taxes home assessed at $300,000, first the standard deduction of $45,000 would be subtracted from the $300,000. Then a supplemental deduction of 35 percent of the remaining value would be deducted. If the homeowner has a mortgage on the property, as is very commonly the case, an additional deduction of $3,000 would be taken off to arrive at a taxable value of $162,750. This taxable value is divided by 100 (because the tax rate is expressed in terms of dollars per hundred dollars of valuation), which equals 1,627.5 and this figure is then ready to be multiplied by the tax rates. At this point, the tax rate used to multiply by the taxable value is the portion of the tax rate that is subject to the circuit breaker tax cap, or in other words the referendum rate of $0.2375 is broken out from the rest of the rates that make up the $2.5584. Together these other rates add up to $2.3209. The $2.3209 times the 1,627.5 equals $3,777.27. However, since this amount would be greater than 1 percent of the gross assessed value of the home (the $300,000 we started with), the circuit breaker kicks in here and limits the tax bill to 1 percent of the assessed value, or $3,000.00. The referendum rate is outside the 1 percent

cap, so that rate is next multiplied by the 1,672.5 to yield a tax liability of $386.53. This amount is added to the $3,000 from the part of the bill we figured under the cap, leaving us with a total property tax bill for this example house of $3,386.53.

World War I Zionsville Unit. As told by Gladys Brouhard, widow of Virgil Brouhard in a letter dated June 26, 1988: “At the close of World War I when the boys got home, Little Eagle Church had a big picnic in their honor. This photo was taken on the church steps. This picture was enlarged and had bands of ribbons around the picture inside the frame. The ribbons represented a ‘Service Flag.’ A service flag is a flag that folks had hanging in their window with a blue star and the number of ribbons hanging from it represented how many boys from that home was in the service. This picture hung in the church until about 1929 until the church was struck by lightning and burned although someone ran in and saved the picture.” (Photo and information submitted by Sullivan Munce Cultural Center)

Shivering through a wedding Commentary by Ward Degler

There’s a big, round barn on a private farm at the outskirts of Nowthen, Minn. It was built in the early 1920s and was used plain talk as a dairy barn through the late 1930s. Since then it has been unused and neglected. Feeding and milking stanchions are set in a circle in the lower level of the barn, while the upper structure served as a multi-level hayloft. The Swedish immigrants who built this barn and others around Minnesota called them sparre barns. The word sparre simply means accommodation, and in Sweden is mostly applied to hotels and hostelries. I guess that means the barn was a hotel for cows. My grandson bought the farm this past year and has already repaired holes in the roof and loft floor. Other jobs are on the to-do list. The structure is 60 feet wide and nearly as high, and is listed on the national historic registry. And this was where he and his fiancé were married last weekend. It was spitting snow, and the temperature hovered around the freezing

mark. Along with traditional wedding decorations, the couple installed propane heaters around the loft floor. While they took the chill off, sort of, they roared and bellowed like the cows that once assembled there, and had to be shut down during the ceremony. By the time they got around to “kiss the bride,” everyone was shaking from the cold. After an abbreviated rendition of Mendelssohn’s Wedding March, the heaters were relit and the D.J. got to work on energetic tunes designed to warm the blood. The bar in the corner did its part as well. Doing things in the cold is not unusual in Minnesota. If you wait for warm weather, you might never get anything done. Besides, this was a wedding. It could have been 20 degrees below zero for all the bride and groom cared. 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 may contact him at ward.degler@gmail.com.

LOI on former Dow spurs activity By Carla Howie and Julie Osborne carla@youarecurrent.com

BLUE! THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA

There are signs of development for the former Dow property, now known as Creekside Corporate Park. The Redevelopment development Commission met Oct. 28 to discuss contracting HWC Engineering to begin preparing plans and clearing debris. An unnamed company has submitted a letter of Intent for a 19,000 square-foot building on the property. Since the 82 acres were purchased in May, little movement has taken place except for the 106th Street Sanitary Sewer & Water project. The RDC now wants to move forward with the help of engineering firm HWC and Paul Kite, who is serving as consultant to the development project. Representing HWC was Land Development Director Jamie Ford-Bowen, who informed the commission that HWC would provide schematic

and detailed design for the drainage and mass grading aspect of the 82-acre property. This was identified as part of the first phase of the project. “Development of this nature is a moving target. It is important to respond quickly to potential end users while maintaining the integrity of the overall development and doing what’s best for the Town of Zionsville,” Ford-Bowen said. In order to get the project moving forward, $60,000 in funds was proposed to hire HWC so they may begin developing the engineering plans and begin brush removal. The motion passed unanimously. The motion also included forming a subcommittee, which would include a member of the redevelopment commission, to work with HWC and Kite to understand how the initial outlay of funds will be appropriated Mark Plassman, president of the RDC, stated: “This is a starting point, we need to understand the site and have a general sense of the infrastructure – this needs to be done.”

Happy home owners at Hunter Glen

It’s Your Move... Call Julia for Help.

(Below) All clean and cleared out, thanks to Wayne Delong, director of planning and development, and his staff at Town Hall. This was a longstanding issue with Hunter Glen residents, but within a few days of bringing it to Delong’s attention, the situation was resolved. “I am thankful to the town planning department which helped our subdivision get rid of this eyesore that we have lived with for several years. Wayne and his staff were expedient and understood our concern,” Bear said.

A broad range of flooring, tile, cabinetry and home decor is available, including Cortec vinyl plank flooring that looks like wood but is waterproof, has a lifetime warranty and is approximately $5 per square foot. “It is so durable and people use it in their basements since it’s waterproof,” Claghorn said.

The Claghorns’ business is about creating beautiful spaces

Meet the Claghorns

Kent and Tara Children: Kristine, 25; Matt, 22; Kaitlin, 22; Anthony, 16

By Abby Walton • news@currentzionsville.com Stop and think about how much you walk around your home. Every day, your feet sink into the softness of carpet or cover story your kids race their toys across your wood floor. That’s a lot of wear and tear that gets overlooked. Each square of carpet or tile is truly the foundation of that room. It sets the tone for how we see and feel about a particular room. While most of us usually don’t see flooring this way, it’s the only way Claghorn Custom Flooring can look at a room. “Our goal is to make people truly comfortable in their own home,” said Tara Claghorn, who runs the business with her husband, Kent. As a 19-year-old, Kent started installing carpet, eventually opening his own business. “I’ve always been creative and enjoy the design process. I’ve also installed all types of flooring so I truly understand the process,” he said. Originally from Bluffton, Kent eventually moved his business into the old grain building in Zionsville in 2004. “I loved how quaint the area was, plus I knew my kids would get a great education here,” he said. As for the building itself, Tara said her husband had his eye on it for a long time. “He’d asked the owners if they were going to sell it and they said no. He told them if they ever changed their mind to let him know and one day they did,” she said. Kent was creating a new foundation, slowing building his store and clientele.

Claghorn Custom Flooring Founded in 1989 by Kent Claghorn 100 N. First Street, Zionsville 873-6202 Showroom hours: Mon, Tues, Wed, Fri 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Thurs 10 a.m. - 7 p.m. Saturday 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.

While growing his business in Zionsville, Kent also was laying the foundation of a new relationship. Tara and Kent met in 2006. Both were previously married and each had two children. “When I moved to Zionsville to be with Kent, I was excited because I knew my kids would be going to a great school and living in a great area,” Tara said. Married for three years, Tara has gone from working in the restaurant world to joining Kent in the flooring and design business. “I love what I do. It’s just so fun. There’s nothing better than to hear a client say, ‘I love it,” she said. From flooring and semi-custom cabinets to backsplashes and home décor, Tara said Claghorn Custom Flooring has something for every

home and budget. “We really take pride in what we do because we not only work in Zionsville, but live here as well. We see our clients out and about and we want them to have a wonderful experience,” Tara said. It’s these types of personal relationships that have helped the Claghorn’s business expand and also get through some challenging times. In 2009, Tara was diagnosed with breast cancer. “While I was going through treatment, I could only work part-time, so I helped Kent out as a secretary,” she said. As she started to feel better and later became cancer-free, Tara said she realized she had an interest in design and decided to stay on with the company.

“She really does have a keen eye for design,” Kent said. Kent and Tara said the one thing they love most about living in Zionsville is the way people come together to support each other and local businesses. As a way to say thank you, they’ll be hosting an open house on Nov. 20 and 21. “Sometimes it’s just nice to see what’s out there,” she said. Especially with the holiday season approaching, Tara said it’s not too late for them to help you spruce up your home. “Some easy things we can do are backsplashes in the kitchen or bathroom, a new vanity or some area rugs,” she said. Working together to create beautiful spaces is what the Claghorn’s business is all about. “I had a customer recently tell me that our crew acts like one big family and that’s really true,” Kent said. After 30 years in business, creating solid foundations has led to lasting friendships for the Claghorns. Holiday Open House • Claghorn Custom Flooring • 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Nov. 20 and 21

Y O U R V I E W S In Honor of Freedom It is our position that service in the armed forces should not be taken for granted. On Veteran’s Day, we celebrate the brave men and women who have served our country in the name of freedom - some willingly, some with no choice by means of the draft. Uncle Sam was once the bearer of birthday greetings to eighteen year-old-men across the country in the form of a letter to report for service either with reservist units or called for active duty. Today, the armed forces are plagued with budget cuts and stymied recruitment efforts due to the rising obesity rate and failure of recruits to pass drug tests and keep clean criminal records. Would reinstating a draft solve these military recruitment woes? Could today’s coddled youth withstand the pressure and responsibility? Recognition and special thanks are extended to those who have served our country in the past, to the military personnel currently serving and to those brave enough to enlist to sustain the armed forces. Visit a monument, fly your American flag, attend a Veteran’s Day parade or even visit a recruitment center on this Veteran’s Day - in honor of freedom.

Being spot on Editor, This is the second time I have written to Mr. Kelly and Mr. Greenberg. This is regarding their latest article “There is no one but ourselves to blame.” My first comment to you, a while ago, was critical and you published it but since then (and almost always) you are spot on. I appreciate your candor and honesty and enjoy your publication. I read your article on Ray Cortopassi, a distant relative and friend of mine, in the Current in Zionsville and found it very interesting. He and his family are terrific. Again, I enjoy your publication and read it cover to cover. Thank you. Dick Stoffel, 46060

Invisible chains Commentary by Terry Anker We’ve all faced it. The feeling of rejection and exclusion can be devastating. That moment when one is cut from the team, fails to get elected, doesn’t get the part or misses the promotion is one that tests both our self-confidence and our resolve to carry on. Our ability to confront the disappointment can either urge us develop skills that will ultimately deliver us to a higher level of success or lead to self-evaluation as unworthy in the most unnecessarily expansive fashion. Turn of the century animal trainers implemented the practice of chaining one leg of baby elephants to a stake in the ground. The restraint was strong enough to limit the movement of the creatures; but as the pachyderms matured their immense size and strength would have made it easy to overwhelm the constraint. Yet they did not move. With the hawser unconnected and lying on the ground, the giant creatures stayed in place as if held by an invisible force. In fact, the manacle

was often no longer connected to anything. The highly intelligent creatures remembered the feeling of restricted movement and simply stood still whenever the shackle was is in place. Younger humans seem much more resilient than we who have spent a little more time on the planet. It is hard to find a four-year old who doesn’t greet failure as a normal part of the learning process. Yet, many of our adult peers are paralyzed with anxiety about even trying to develop any new skills or move outside of our long-established comfort zones. The pain of perceived failure is real. And, one could guess that its anticipation might be the same. Do ancient scars keep us from living up to our potential today? Why are we allowing ourselves to be constrained by invisible chains?

We’re seeing our Current team gaining steam in its efforts to keep you abreast of all the goings-on with Christmas in the Village. Without spilling the beans on what our folks have in store for your reading and planning pleasures, it’s safe for all of us to assume that “comprehensive” would be an appropriate description. As you might know, everything kicks off at 4 p.m. Nov. 30 with the Christmas Parade and Lighting of the Village, and, pardon the pun, it all snowballs from there. Watch these pages for everything you’ll need to know – and more – to make the most of the holidays in our town. (If you can’t wait, visit info@zionsvillechamber.org for a list of events. We’ll be giving you the rest shortly.) ••• Perhaps a health-insurance carrier has spurned you or someone you know recently. It simply cannot be a pleasant experience. We know a few folks who’ve endured the “rejected” treatment. We’re just wondering here, but don’t you believe it is possible that because of all the confusion and uncertainty of ObamaCare that insurance companies almost “have to” reject some folks’ attempts at renewal? After all, our illustrious leader, President Barack Obama, has done a fairly solid job of running down insurance companies (and they’re not completely innocent of all his charges) since before he campaigned for the last presidential election. He has maligned them – again, deservedly so in some instances – to the point where there’s no luster left. They’re viewed as villainous, and so their reputations are left tarnished. We further wonder whether any court would entertain a lawsuit brought by one or more carriers against the president on the grounds of damaging their brands. Yes, a lawsuit. If someone maligned your business to the point where it was affecting perception of it, and, as a byproduct, its ability to successfully engage in commerce, wouldn’t you sue for slander? Just asking.

Commentary by Julie Osborne

Where was everyone Oct. 28? I’m sorry to say that you missed the Monday meeting marathon, which included three sessions in a row, actually overlapping. The Zionsville Community Schools board kicked it off at 6 p.m. for a special meeting to discuss and approve the $67.6 million budget. There were less than 10 people present, including a principal, a presenter and a few others, some of them staff members, and a few students. On to the town’s redevelopment commission meeting, which had a whopping one person present other than an engineering consultant and three people from the media. Media outnumbered spectators 3-1, which usually is not a good statistic. Next door, three people were present for the Zionsville Town Council budget meeting. One asked a question, discussion was limited, and the $19.5 million budget passed. Those were three important meetings, and there were barely any residents present. No input on the town or school budgets? What was most surprising was the lack of critics, especially since I know you’re out there. You see, I hear things, mostly rumblings or complaints about the processes and how “there is no transparen-

I have been attending these meetings for a year, and each time at the school board session I receive a highly organized packet of information with every detail imaginable explained. But I still hear questions, “Where are our tax dollars being spent?” “What about the referendum?” Clearly, those inquiring minds were not among the few present last week. And, my wandering continues, but hopefully no more marathon-meeting Mondays. But, I would like to see you there next time. Julie Osborne is the special projects coordinator for Current Publishing.

Ordinarily, I get all bent out of shape about Christmas catalogs arriving in my mailbox before Halloween. I am willing, however, humor to make exceptions for two retailers: Neiman-Marcus and Lehman’s. Neiman-Marcus, of course, is the high-end retailer known for high fashion with prices to match, with a catalog that always includes a fantasy section full of gift ideas just perfect for the “gazillionaire” who has everything. This year, for example, you can pick up an outdoor entertainment center with 201-inch screen and 7.1 digital surround sound for a cool $1,500,000 (excluding shipping and handling). Lehman’s is the Kidron, Ohio, purveyor of the practical, with a catalog that caters to the Amish and other plain folks. For example, you can pick up what appears to be the Cadillac of cider presses for $1,495 plus $175.00 freight. I love the idea that I could get catalogs from two such different retailers in the same month actually, within about a week of one another. I have been to Neiman-Marcus’ flagship store in Dallas and let me tell you, it is worth the trip. I even did some shopping there, with real money and everything. Of course, I still felt like a regular goob, walking up and down the aisles and checking out price tags on neckties that cost as much as what I have paid for entire suits. OK, so they weren’t the best suits and it was quite a while ago, but you get the idea. They have some expensive stuff there. No neckties for sale at Lehman’s, of course, but they probably have the best mail-order selec-

tion of oil lamps, wood stoves and hand-cranked coffee grinders I have ever seen, and for way less than what you’d pay at Neiman-Marcus, if Neiman-Marcus suddenly decided to cater to the Anabaptist trade. Lehman’s reminds me of Yoder’s Store, my favorite Amish-centric department store up in Shipshewana, although Yoder’s doesn’t have a Christmas catalog that I know of. I do know that once upon a time I thought Yoder’s was your one-stop holiday headquarters: salt and pepper shakers for Mom, an oil lamp for Vicky, gloves for P.D., a beanbag ashtray for Dad, coloring books for Amy. Call me Santa. The only place that rivaled Yoder’s for Christmas shopping was the hardware, where I got pretty much the same stuff, except I would substitute a hockey stick for PD’s gloves and some hardware store aftershave for Dad’s ashtray. Anyway, back to the catalogs. They should trade places. Neiman-Marcus could sell a diamond-encrusted hand-cranked food mill, and Lehman’s could sell cast-iron jewelry. The beautiful thing is, I can make that choice because I have these two wildly different catalogs offering their wares to me. I’m so thoroughly entertained that I don’t even mind that I am getting all this holiday fun so early. Excuse me - I think I’ll do a little Christmas shopping.

Bullying brothers beware

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

On the way home from a recent trip to Kentucky, our middle son did something he has never done before, at least in front of humor me. He punched his older brother square in the head with full intention to hurt. Just like that, his skinny arm shot across the aisle and landed right on the temple. I saw the jab in the rearview mirror and almost crashed the van. I was in such shock that I could only exclaim, “Andrew!”, while my husband Doo literally lost his fashizite. I pulled off at the next exit so our awe-struck family could pull itself together. What had happened? Why had our sweet boy suddenly snapped? Amidst a flood of tears in the men’s restroom off I-65, he explained to Doo that he’d finally tired of being bullied by his bratty brother. That he couldn’t stand for one more second the teasing and the taunting. So he’d hit him, and hit him hard. (Lest you be concerned for the injured party, the only bruise suffered was a massive one to his ego.) Doo, in an amazing testament to his parenting skills, calmly walked Andrew through the cons of using physical violence to solve one’s problems, but then ended with “Nice shot, by the way. Don’t ever do it again, but definitely a nice shot.” It was. Back on the road, I had to stifle a giggle. How many times have I myself wanted to pop my first-born? Ten? Twenty? And that’s

just in the past week. Fifteen-year-old boys are buttheads, plain and simple. Is it any wonder that some dark part of me is still applauding my courageous seventh-grader for taking him down a peg? I am, after all, always telling my kids to stand up for themselves and not to become victims. How can I possibly be angry that one of our sons finally fought back? The weird thing is, their relationship has significantly improved since the controversial beatdown. Sure my soon-to-be driver continues to deliver condescending remarks and smart-aleck comments on a regular basis, but I have not heard any of his usual ribbing about my younger son’s height (Andrew is significantly shorter than his 6-foot brother) nor have I seen any attempts by said giant to bully his sibling off the Xbox. Our freshman has been treating Andrew more as a friend, and dare I say, with a modicum of respect. Hooray! I guess you just never really know how close someone is to his breaking point until it all explodes in one horrific, but somehow glorious, moment. Even a blow to a loved one’s big noggin can have positive results. Peace out.

Thanks but no thanks

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

Like most guys, when I walk past the magazine rack at the bookstore, I start to drool. Just yesterday I saw one cover that humor made me glad I am a healthy, normal male. There she was: perfectly proportioned, with golden skin and a great pair of legs. It was the best looking turkey I had ever seen. Obviously, there are some other attributes of the bird I could have alluded to, but I’m trying to keep this column classy. At the time, I was looking at “Food Network” magazine, the Thanksgiving edition - the perfect holiday purchase for those who don’t have a turkey of their own yet, but who want to live vicariously through others who have enjoyed tremendous success in the kitchen. The magazine is 218 pages of recipes and cooking tips, including a handful of ads for antidepressant drugs, which kind of captures the holiday spirit we all feel. Food scientists did extensive research to answer such burning questions as: how many dishes does the average host or hostess serve with the turkey? (answer: seven); do people favor pumpkin, apple, or pecan pie? (pumpkin); white wine or red? (a tie); and finally, how long is it after the meal before everyone is talking to each other again? (about two weeks). Another interesting statistic is that the average American gets up at 9 a.m. to begin the preparation for the

day. This is certainly true of my wife, Mary Ellen, because if is she is not done with her makeup by 10 a.m., we can’t make the early buffet at Embassy Suites with our friends, the Haversticks. Here’s a fascinating find: 72 percent of the country prefers lump-free mashed potatoes. Only 12 percent have ever had any. And did you know that 51 percent of T-Day diners opt for whole berry cranberry sauce and 49 percent want jellied? Celebrity cooks offer 50 tips for preparing the annual feast. Iron Chef Judy Joo suggests passing around a small blow torch for each person’s individual pumpkin crème brulees. What fun! With all the little kids around the table, what could possibly go wrong? John Shook, the chef at a favorite Los Angeles café, advises amateur cooks to always serve some old favorites for side dishes, just in case you “screw up the turkey.” My favorite tip is from Seamus Mullen, a gourmand from one of New York’s finest eateries. Seamus says to throw the leftover meat from the usually less popular legs and wings (along with some oyster stuffing) into the food processor before you go to bed that Thursday night. I ask you: Is there a better way to begin shopping on Black Friday than with a nice dark-meat turkey smoothie?

Pianist Di Wu – ‘She has fire in her playing’

By Jay Harvey • news@currentinwestfield.com In all areas of her life, concert pianist Di Wu seems energized by following steep learning curves and making adjustsymphony ments as her taste and knowledge develop. When she’s cooking at home in New York, she experiments with dishes she’s sampled in her travels. “When I find something good in a restaurant, I try to do that at home,” she said by phone from a hotel in South Dakota, where she performed recently on her way to a Nov. 9 appearance with the Carmel Symphony Orchestra at the Palladium. She’s also a passionate tennis fan. She doesn’t play out of concern for her valuable wrists, but she tweeted from the U.S. Open men’s championship in September. Rooting for Novak Djokovic, looking back Wu was gracious about the man who bested him, Rafael Nadal. “Nadal played an incredible year, and he deserves the crown,” she said. “You can talk with her about anything,” marveled CSO music director David Bowden, who is working with her for the eighth time. “She’s a brilliant young lady and a fun person, and she’s voracious in her appetite for other things besides music.” Of course, it’s Di Wu’s professional course as a musician that’s foremost in his mind. Bowden first heard of her in 2005 when she won an international piano competition in Hilton Head, S.C. “A member of my Columbus artistic team … was there and called me up, ‘My goodness! You must hire her!’” he said. Four years ago, Wu was a finalist in the Van Cliburn Competition in Fort Worth, Texas, yet failed to win a prize - a jury snub considered almost scandalous by some. The Wall Street Journal’s correspondent wrote: “Nothing in recent memory has been as shocking as this year’s top prizes, which ignored the most musically mature and sensitive pianist competing in the finals.” Bowden has treasured opportunities to have the 29-year-old Chinese native as a soloist in the orchestras he directs, not only in Carmel but Terre Haute and Columbus, as well. This will be her third time playing with the CSO in the Palladium, where the audience loves her, Bowden said. “She did Rachmaninoff’s Second (Piano Concerto) in February 2012 and we’ve got a recording of it,” he said proudly. “I think it’s the very best concert we’ve ever done since I started here (in 1999).” On Nov. 9 she will play two works with the

THIS WEEK Gretchen Wilson – The modern country music icon best known for her hits, “Redneck Woman” and Homewrecker,” will bring her CARMEL hard-working and hard-partying act to the Palladium at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 7. Her songs like “Here For The Party” and “When I think about Cheatin’” are gorgeously rough-edged, and it’s no wonder why she resonates strongly with fans of country and southern rock. As she takes the Palladium stage this season, she’ll give a party you won’t forget. Tickets start at $55. For more information call 843-3800 or visit www.thecenterfortheperformingarts.org. Follow the North Star – Encounter what life was like for runaway slaves using the Underground Railroad in this award-winning FISHERS reenactment presented by Conner Prairie Interactive History Park, 13400 Allisonville Rd. Participation includes meeting slave hunters face-to-face and witnessing the fear and hope of slaves, assisted by a Quaker family, who risked everything for freedom. This intense experience is recommended only for those 12 and older; those under age 16 must be accompanied by an adult. The 90-minute reenactments take place from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at staggered times Nov. 7 through 9. Reservations are required; call 776-6006. Prices are $20 for nonmembers and $17 for members.

There will be raffle tickets available for $1 each or 6 for $5 to win an original painting. The show is free and open to the public. For more information, visit www.hcaa-in.org.

orchestra, both suggested by Bowden: Franz Liszt’s Concerto No. 1 in E-flat and George Gershwin’s “I Got Rhythm” Variations. “When David has a suggestion I’m always all ears,” Wu said. “I’ve been wanting to learn the Liszt piece; it’s wonderful he gave me the opportunity to perform it. And there is much to say about Gershwin. I’ve done Rhapsody in Blue, the Concerto in F and the Second Rhapsody it’s brilliant music.” Wu, who came with her mother to the U.S. in her midteens to study, offered this assessment of how she’s developed since winning the Hilton Head competition.

“I’ve got a better understanding of myself my emotional and overall strengths,” she said. “I’m more aware of what I’m doing now. If something doesn’t work, I know how to fix it. When musicians grow up, there’s a little more depth to you.” More depth doesn’t imply anything stodgy, however. “She is unbelievably exciting; she has fire in her playing,” Bowden said. “Her phrasing is so expressive and so spontaneous. When we’re in a concert playing a piece, I never know what she’s going to do and she never knows what I’m going to do - it’s so much fun. And the audience feels that and likes that.”

Family reading night – Maple Glen Elementary School will host a guest authors Todd and Cheryl Schleuning in the school’s WESTFIELD multipurpose room during its Reading Night event from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Nov. 14. The Schleunings will read and sign copies of “The Misphits: Story of Snake.” The books will sell for $14.50 for this special event and $1.45 will be donated back to the school. The evening also includes a Scholastic Book Fair in the media center and fun literacy activities in the cafeteria. Boy Scout Troop 358 – This troop is celebrating 90 years of service in the Zionsville area. To commemorate this event, zionsVILLE members past and present are hosting an anniversary gala. The event will take place starting at 6 p.m. Nov. 9 at the Parish Hall at St. Alphonsus Catholic Church, 70 W.

Cold-weahter foods taste good, too Commentary by Joe Drozda and Bob Bley After you have tailgated for two or three seasons, you recognize that once the weather begins to turn cold, certain foods appear more frequently on the typical tailgating menu. We decided to survey people in football stadium parking lots and on our Website www.tailgatershandbook.com to see if we could quantify the popularity of certain cold-weather foods. Here are our results for the four primary menu categories: • Main course preference: Chili 46 percent, sausage 18 percent, soup 8 percent and burgers, ribs and sandwiches 6 percent. • Side dish favorite: baked beans 21 percent, dips & dippers 20 percent, chili 9 percent, cheese 7 percent and potato salad 6 percent. • Desert choice: cookie bars 43 percent, cake 13 percent, pie 6 percent and candy 5 percent. • Drink favorites: coffee 35 percent, cocoa 33 percent, hot cocktails 17 percent and beer 16 percent. If you want to try one of our favorite warm cocktails, here’s a simple recipe for delicious buttered rum sent in by Bill Paige. It smells like hot apple pie and tastes even better.

TITLE SPONSOR

Hot Buttered Rum Ingredients (serves six): • 8 ounces good dark rum • 23 ounces apple cider • 3 cinnamon sticks • 1 clove • 3 tablespoons butter • 1 squeeze fresh lemon juice Directions: Heat the mixture about 10 minutes. Be careful not to let it boil - just get it to a simmer and then pour into a thermos to take to the game. Be sure to serve in white mugs or cups so that nobody ingests a surprise cinnamon stick or clove. Have pats of butter available if someone wants an extra as a topping and enjoy.

He is a musician’s musician, adept at playing a variety of guitars while passionately digging for the deepest meaning in his lyrics. “Blew up (the House)” is the first single to be released from his album “Fight for my Soul,” his first new release in seven years. His hits include “Wander this World” and “Lie to Me.” The Fargo, N.D., native debuted his first album at age 16. Equally at home in the rock and blues worlds, he has shared the stage with the Rolling Stones, B.B. King, Aerosmith and Sting. Lang won a Grammy in 2007 for his album “Turning Around,” but left the major label scene behind after that to become an independent artist. “Fight for my Soul” is a collaboration with producer Tommy Sims, who co-wrote Eric Clapton’s Grammy-winning song “Change the World.” Of the “Fight for my Soul” album, Lang said, “This is an album that I’ve been wanting to make for a long time. There’s a lot going on inside of me. I want to share some stories: personal struggles, injustices I have seen, stories people can relate to. You can’t put it into one genre.” Lang comes to Carmel following performances

An evening of laughter, love

Some people know Santa’s secret. Do you?

By Karen Kennedy • karenk@yoaurecurrent.com

Dominic Sheahan-Stahl knows first-hand what it feels like to be discriminated against. A Michigan native from a tradimusic tional Irish-Catholic family, he graduated from Sacred Heart High School and then went off to New York to attend the American Musical and Dramatic Academy. After making his living successfully in the performing arts for 12 years, he was invited to return to his high school alma mater to give a keynote speech. Sheahan-Stahl’s appearance was cancelled after he made an openly gay personal announcement on Facebook. Although he was deeply hurt by the event, he took it as a sign that he needed to take action. He created the “Live through Love” Foundation, which works to raise awareness of discrimination of openly gay students and awards an annual scholarship. Sheahan-Stahl also has created a benefit concert series called “Dream in Color” to fund the foundation. Sheahan-Stahl, who lives in New York City, is currently playing the role of Marius in Beef and Boards’ production of “Les Miserables.” He will present the concert at Beef and Boards on Nov. 11. His goal is to present the concert in all 50 states. Indiana is the third, and he will take the show to Florida in January. Colleagues from across the United States will

participate in the concert. Local singers and actors will be featured as well, including Gary Life, who was most recently seen as King Charles in Civic Theatre’s production of “Pippin.” “All of the songs will be about love, overcoming a struggle or celebrating individuality,” SheahanStahl said. “Many different genres of music will be represented and it will be an evening filled with laughter, fun and love.” “Dream in Color” Benefit • Beef and Boards Dinner Theatre • 9301 Michigan Rd., Indianapolis • Nov. 11 • $10 suggested donation; cash bar • For more information visit www.livethroughlove.org.

Weigh insurance plans carefully Commentary by Jamie Ianigro

Question from Rick A. from Fishers: I currently get health insurance for my family through my employer. I know changes Insurance are coming from health reform, but is there anything particular that I need to worry about? Response from Jamie Ianigro: Health reform has a lot of folks concerned and confused. The main piece of the legislation that will affect nearly everyone is the individual mandate that requires you to buy health insurance. If you like the insurance that your employer provides, you are considered covered and can stick with that program. You may also be able to switch to publicly available coverage eventually if you choose, but all that is still being figured out. Any employer health plan you currently have qualifies as minimum essential coverage. You don’t need to change to a publicly available plan in order to avoid the fee that uninsured people may have to pay for 2014. If you’d like to explore publicly available coverage options, you can, but there are several important things to consider. With most employer health insurance plans, your employer pays a portion of your premiums. Your employer does not need to make a contribution to

your premiums if you switch away from their plan. You should consider this carefully before comparing your current plan to publically available plans. If you decide to check out publically available plans, be aware that you may not qualify for lower costs on your monthly premiums and out-of-pocket costs, even if your income would qualify you otherwise. Whether you qualify for lower costs will depend on what kind of coverage your employer offers. If your job-based coverage is considered affordable and meets minimum value, you won’t be able to get lower costs on premiums or outof-pocket costs in the marketplace. This is true no matter what your income and family size are. Your employer can tell you whether the insurance plan it offers meets minimum value and help you determine whether the plan is considered affordable for you. You can also contact your independent insurance agent if you have further questions or if you lose your employer’s insurance plan and need to see what is available.

The town of Zionsville supports this project at the request of the Boone County Economic Development Corporation.

DISPATCHES Getting an FHA loan more difficult - New requirements for Federal Housing Administration-approved mortgages took effect last week, presenting potential roadblocks for home buyers with collections or judgments in their credit histories. While lenders have recently been able to take significant economic events into account in processing loan applications, the changes are a step in the opposite direction for loan accessibility. The Department of Housing and Urban Development issued mortgage letters Aug. 15 instructing lenders to add collections accounts and judgments to an applicant’s debt-to-income ratio, one of the qualifying standards for an FHA loan. Loans made on and after Oct. 15 must follow these guidelines. Source: MSN Money

Capuchin Crypt: Rome’s haunting bone church Commentary by Don Knebel

If your Halloween experience was not all you had hoped for, consider spending next year in Rome’s “Capuchin Crypt.” This sotravel called “Bone Church” is, without a doubt, the most haunting chapel in the world. The Capuchin friars split from the Franciscans in 1520 to restore what they considered St. Francis’ lost ideals of poverty and service, adopting the brown robes and pointed hoods associated with the poor. In about 1631, the Capuchins left their monastery near Rome’s Trevi Fountain and moved to the Capuchin Church of the Immaculate Conception, carrying with them 300 carts filled with the disinterred bones of deceased friars. For reasons still unknown, the Capuchin friars did not rebury their departed colleagues, but instead arranged their bones in intricate patterns along the walls and ceilings of a small chapel beneath the church. As friars died, survivors added their bones to the elaborate displays. The larger bones were arranged by type, creating a pelvis room, a leg and thigh bone room and a room of skulls. Smaller bones became floral and geometric designs, wall clocks and chandeliers. In some rooms, intact skeletons were propped upright and covered with musty robes, eerily recalling the Grim Reaper. When the practice stopped in 1870, the chapel walls and ceilings

“Skull Room in Rome’s Capuchin Chapel” (Photo by Don Knebel)

were covered with more than 500,000 bones of 3,700 Capuchins from all over the world and the Italian poor they had served. The earliest known description of the Capuchin Crypt comes from the Marquis de Sade, who wrote after a visit in 1775 that it was “worthy of an English mind” and he had never “seen anything more impressive.” In the nineteenth century, the crypt was open to the public only during the week following All Souls Day, two days after Halloween. Today, the Capuchin Crypt is open year round

(except Thursdays) to promote the sobering Capuchin message that time is running out for each of us to help the poor. Near the last room is a sign in five languages reading, “What you are now, we once were; what we are now, you shall be.” If that thought doesn’t scare you, nothing will.

Go green with your beauty

Commentary by Kristina Johnson

The truth is going green might sound like a just the latest trend, but it’s immensely important to the future of Earth. beauty Somewhere between third grade when you learn about saving the Earth and adulthood, many people tend to forget that even small changes can make a big difference. One of these small changes is switching to a greener, more Earth-friendly beauty routine. Don’t worry, I’m not suggesting you craft your own toothpaste and deodorant (but hats off to you if you do!). I’m suggesting you research and look into the beauty products you invest in. One of my favorite brands is Aveda. Their stated mission is, “…to care for the world we live in, from the products we make to the ways in which we give back to society.” Not only are their products naturally derived, meaning that 50 percent or more of each product comes from a plant, non-petroleum mineral, water, or some other natural source, but they do a ton for the environment and society. Here are just some of the reasons Aveda rocks and why greening your beauty routine can do a lot of good: • Responsible packaging: 85 percent of their packaging contains 100 percent postconsumer recycled materials. • Happy animals: Aveda does not test on animals. Some of their manufacturing plants are even wildlife habitats. • Changing lives: The paper used for Aveda’s gift sets is created by families in Nepal. This in turn provides food, clothing, shelter

Coming Jan. 21 in Current, the debut of Tables, a dining guide for Hamilton and Boone counties … and beyond. 2,400 families in Nepal are grateful for their partnership with Aveda Corp. Since 2007, approximately 4,900 locals have been hired to make more than 1,400,000 sheets of paper for Aveda’s holiday gift sets. Information and photo provided by Aveda Corp.

and education. • Renewable energy: Aveda supports development of renewable wind energy, and they manufacture their products with 100 percent certified wind power. Doesn’t that make you feel all warm and fuzzy? So go out there and get green. Your kids, your soul and Earth will thank you. Kristina Johnson and the team at NjS Studio & Salon, 70 E. Pine St., Zionsville, specialize in hair, nails, body treatments, waxing and massages. She may be reached at 873-6785.

Loan and lend

Commentary by Jordan Fischer

Question: My l5-year-old granddaughter (an AP English student at North Central) corrected me yesterday when I grammar guy said, “You loaned me this keyboard - now I’m returning it.” Her response: Loan is a noun - you can’t use it as a verb - the correct word to use in that sentence is lent. Was she right? (Harriet Horwitz) Answer: Thanks for writing in, Harriet. Sounds like your granddaughter is a pretty smart cookie, and I’m glad to hear that there is a younger generation of grammar enthusiasts coming up. The answer to your question is yes, and no. In British English, the verb form of “loan” died out a long time ago – around the time when Virginia was still a colony. However, we kept using it here stateside, and it remains entirely standard American English to this day. There are a few caveats to how we distinguish the two words. First and foremost, “lend” is never a noun in American English (I’ve heard it may be used that way colloquially in parts of England, but I’m no expert on the subject). You

can lend someone a bicycle or a hand, but you don’t ask for a “lend.” Second, when acting as a verb, “loan” is never used figuratively. You would loan someone money, but you would lend them a hand. You could loan someone artwork, but in putting it up, you would be lending their apartment an air of class. “Lend” can also be used as a reflexive verb to mean “to adapt or apply oneself readily.” For example, a round table lends itself to discussions. You get the picture. As far as “loaned” and “lent,” they are the past tense forms of “loan” and “lend,” respectively. The same rules apply. The bottom line is: If you use “loan” always as a noun, and “lend” always as a verb, you will never be wrong. If you choose to use “loan” as a verb, keep it literal – and bask in the joy of upholding an American linguistic tradition.

HOW TO: BEACH HAIR ALL YEAR LONG The weather may be getting colder but you can still have that tousled, “just back from the beach look” no matter what the temperature. Follow this guide to help create this look even on the cold, wintery days! Prep Wash hair as normal and wrap hair in a towel to absorb extra moisture. Spray Spray damp hair with Aquage Sea Salt Texturizing Spray (found at Salon 01). The sea salt will add the texture necessary to hold a natural curl. Style Using a "Curls Like Us" towel (we stock them), gently scrunch the hair to add volume and enhance your natural curl. Set For the best result, allow hair to air-dry naturally, and then touch it up with a curling iron if necessary. If you’re pressed for time and need to blow dry, use a wide tooth comb to pick up hair at the roots and blow dry, roots to ends, with high heat. Shine Rub a drop of Salon 01 Shine drops through the ends of your hair for a polished finish! Heard of Deva Curl? If not, schedule an appointment with a Salon 01 Deva Curl specialist to learn all about the newest tips and tricks for your curly locks.

TRY THIS LOOK! We think a sultry, smoky look for your eyes is a great way to go glam for an evening event. Follow these steps to achieve this look: 1. Prep your eye area by applying a touch of concealer to your upper and lower lids. Set the concealer with a brush of loose powder. 2. Line your eyes with a firm eye pencil. “Stay as close to the base of the lashes as possible,” says Salon 01 Makeup Artist Kelly Lohrman. “Once lined, use your finger or small brush to gently smudge the liner up towards the creases of your eye. For a dramatic and bold effect, repeat on your bottom lashline.” 3. Set the liner with another swipe of translucent powder again. This will also soften the effect and keep the liner from smudging. 4. Add a dark, matte eye shadow to the lids, blending toward the creases. Pick black for a traditional smoky eye, or use a color like green or purple for a more modern look. 5. Don’t forget to finish off with a couple coats of volumizing mascara. For more makeup tips and for help finding the makeup shades that are right for you, stop in Salon 01 for a makeup consultation and lesson. LEAVE-IN CONDITIONER Learn to love a leave-in conditioner! Using a light spritz everyday helps protect your hair from damage caused by the sun and styling tools. Cold weather dries out your hair too, so not only will a leave-in conditioner protect your hair, it will keep it healthy through the winter months. Salon 01 stocks a great variety of these conditioners, such as Aquage Hydrating Mist and Biominoil Leave In Treatment. Stop in and speak with a knowledgeable professional today!

Creating a deluxe master shower Commentary by David Decker

The first thing many people do when they wake up in the morning (myself included) is head for the shower. Starting off with a soothing shower always puts me in the indoors right frame of mind to tackle the day. The master bathroom shower has evolved from a spot to get clean quickly into a luxurious retreat complete with multiple showerheads, massage units, body sprayers and electronic controls. Additionally, luxury showers are increasing in popularity because they take up less space and are less hazardous for aging homeowners than bathtubs. There isn’t necessarily an ideal size for a master shower, since the measurements will be dependent on the amount of space you have available. If you want two people to be able to fit in the shower comfortably at once, the width of the shower will need to be at least 60 inches. When planning the setup of your shower, you’ll want to make sure that you can comfortably reach the temperature control when showering. Otherwise you may get uncomfortable if the water gets too cold or (worse) scald yourself if it gets too hot. When you know the amount of space you have to work with, you can begin the process of choosing your showerhead (or showerheads). Rain showerheads are designed to be affixed to the ceiling and give off a spa-like feeling. Showers shared by two people could benefit from two

showerheads with adjustable water pressure settings. Most of the time, dual showerheads are installed either facing each other or side-by-side. You’ll probably want to make sure that one (or both) of the showerheads is a handheld model since they are so versatile and easy-to-use. For added luxury, you might choose to install jets or body sprays. Some models can even be controlled by a remote control system. Rectangular shower benches have traditionally been a staple of shower design. Today, many designers are innovating the conventional design or leaving them out completely. You could even choose to install a fold-up shower bench that can be stowed when not in use. A bench is really up to you and the amount of space available. The only downside to all of these new developments in shower technology is the added cost on your monthly water bill. However, you can seek out low-flow showerheads, which are designed to save water in an environmentally friendly way. Consider all of your options during a bathroom remodel to ensure you make the best selection and add value to your home.
