It is snowing as I write this, “spring” in Indiana. Soon, this will stop and we will be looking at our winterstressed landscapes and deciding what to do next.

This month, we have two articles that will help you get started. If you have bigger plans, Tonja Talley’s article on landscape design will point you in the right direction. In Joyce Long’s story from Stones Crossing Garden Center, you can learn which trees, shrubs, and bushes are best for your needs.

When spring does come, it will be time to get outdoors. Disc golf has grown in popularity over the last decade. However, it is due to gain an entirely new following thanks to the efforts of a local student, Jacob Ayers. Ayers invented a way for the blind to play disc golf. Barbara Augsdorfer discusses

the people and technology that came together to make this game accessible to the blind and visually impaired.

We are excited to introduce a new feature this month, “At the Table.” It presents reviews of local restaurants. For the first review, our Food Editor, Julie Yates, visits Harvest Bistro in Bargersville. Hint: She was impressed. The review is a perfect opportunity for you to share your thoughts. If you have visited Harvest Bistro, please visit our website and let us know your thoughts on this new establishment.

Center Grove Mom of the Year is down to the final five.

Please take a moment to visit atCenterGrove.com and vote for your favorite. We have five outstanding candidates, so the selection will not be easy. But the readers get the final vote on who will be on our May cover and win the other prizes provided by the sponsors.

This is our first anniversary issue. We are thankful for all who have contributed to the success of the magazine. This includes the writers, those who contributed to the stories, and our advertisers. A special thank-you goes to you, our readers, for patronizing our advertisers. Without you, Center Grove Community Newsletter would not be a success.

As we enter our second year, we promise to continue to work hard to bring you the best of Center Grove and in the process, help bring us closer together as a community. cg

When looking for garden ideas and projects, check out this great book, Project Garden: A Month-by-Month Guide to Planting, Growing, and Enjoying ALL Your Backyard Has to Offer, by Stacy Tornio. (bit.ly/atCGProjectGarden) Stacy Tornio is an editor of Birds & Blooms, one of my favorite garden magazines, and a Master Gardener. In this book, she shares projects to “Grow It, Plant It, Eat It, Make It, and Recycle It” for each month of the year. Tornio rates all her projects by difficulty, so I can select activities for my two-year-old great nieces or my great nephews who are seven and nine years old.

For my twin nieces, Lindsey and Lauren, we are going to plant carrots in and among our flowers and then try out the great recipes for the carrots that Tornio gives for that project. We can reuse the water from cooking the carrots by watering our garden.

Your Library in a Digital World David Allen is the adult services librarian and helps patrons establish their accounts for the e-library.

| Leigh Lawson We are increasingly becoming a world dominated by electronics. Things that we never imagined would be electronic have, indeed, made the leap into the e-world. There is an adaptation being made by many entities to become digital. Our libraries are also evolving into the e-world.

The Johnson County Public Libraries are no exception into this evolution.

This is evident upon walking through the doors of White River Branch of the Johnson County Public Library (JCPL). Before entering into the adult side of the library, you come across a desk with many brochures on the 3M Cloud Library. JCPL uses this service for their electronic library program.

There is information that shows how to utilize the service for almost any electronic reading device.

Whether you use an iPad, Kindle, or Nook, you can benefit from this service. You can even download the application called OneClickDigital on your smart phone.

There are five e-readers available for loan at each JCPL branch; here, the librarians will download your books for you. The options are numerous.

I was curious about how difficult or time consuming the process would be.

I timed the process from creating an online account to the installation of the application on my phone. It was a very simple process that took me six minutes.

After I had established my account and downloaded the application on my phone, it was time to browse for a book from the 3,161 books available. They have fiction and non-fiction. There are books that appeal to children, young adults, and adults. Many genres are represented. It is an impressive collection of electronic books.

David Allen is the adult services librarian who often helps patrons in establishing their accounts for the e-library. Allen explained that the library joined the 3M service that acts as a library coalition for electronic books. Many other libraries participate in the program.

They purchase the rights to a

downloaded book and then make it available for patrons to download. Just like a traditional book from the library, you are only allowed 21 days to have the book. You can renew the book from your device or even return it early once you have finished.

Jean Godfrey was introduced to the e-library by her daughter, Laurinda.

Godfrey would be recovering from surgery and needed something to keep her busy while off her feet.

She found herself on crutches, and physically going to the library posed many problems. She is an avid reader and was able read several books a day. It was the perfect solution for her. Godfrey states, “I love being able to download the books. It has been a blessing during my recovery.

I download, read, and return from wherever I may be. It is very convenient.�

If you are interested in using this program, you can go to www.jcplin.org and click on the OneClickDigital icon.

There, you can establish your account.

Then, just download the application to your electronic device and you will have an entire library at your disposal.

It is an easy access to the electronic library world. cg Leigh and her husband Mike have called Center Grove their home for 14 years. They chose Center Grove as the ideal place to raise their two children, Eric and Julia. She is an active member of Mt. Pleasant Christian Church where she writes an on-line Bible study.

Time to Plant | Joyce Long Todd Swartz knows how to work the dirt — literally. His love affair with planting began by helping his grandparents, Lawrence and Elsie Swartz, farm the 80 acres they purchased in 1925. Stones Crossing Garden Center, 2807 South State Road 135, is located on the northwest corner of that property. Todd and his wife, Jennifer, opened the garden center in 1986.

His memories of growing up in Center Grove helping his grandparents farm cultivated his passion for horticulture.

“It’s what we did to pitch in — to help with both the farming and the store.”

Once spring unfolds, it’s time to plant.

According to Todd, April is especially busy for selecting trees because the optimal time to plant is when they’re still dormant. “Last year because of our early spring, we had to rush to get them into the ground. Once trees leaf out, you can’t dig a tree.”

Tree Selection & Planting

When selecting a tree, consider its purpose — whether it’s planted to provide shade, privacy, fruit, or decoration. Also, consider its eventual size and how long the homeowner plans to remain in the home. Todd’s personal favorites include the ornamental Japanese Maple, which thrives in local soil but needs protection from high winds, avoiding the open west side of any property. For shade, he likes the Red Maple, a moderately fast-growing

tree that increases in size each year yet remains hardy.

A few years ago, Bradford Pear trees were extremely popular in this area; but because they’re soft, these are often uprooted and splintered due to strong Indiana winds. Todd recommends the hardy Cleveland Select Pear whose coloring, shape, and buds are similar to the Bradford Pear but are one-half its width. The Aristocrat Pear is also more wind-resistant than the Bradford.

Other popular Center Grove-area trees include any maple, flowering trees like the Tulip, and the Prairie Fire Red Maple by John Picken Crabapple, which isn’t messy and looks great next to the house. Hardwood maple trees seem to be the most disease resistant, while Todd recommends avoiding soft wood like the Silver Maple.

“Usually disease has a lot to do with the age of the tree or any damage that has been sustained.”

Todd estimates that 50% of his tree business involves not only selling the tree but also planting it. Its size and soil preparation can make this a complex endeavor. He suggests the hole should be dug 10 inches bigger all the way around the root ball. “You need plenty of room to pack soil

Aristocrat Pear Blooms by Warren Brown Photography solidly back into the hole so air pockets can’t form.”

A mistake homeowners often make filling the hole is not breaking down the big lumps of clay into finer soil.

Clods of dirt can create air pockets that inhibit root development and, consequently, stunt growth. Todd also suggests placing a little peat moss or organic matter, like leaves and grass, in the bottom of the hole before planting.

“Any organic matter only helps the soil right where it’s added. It keeps the clay soil from getting so hard.”

While mulch is recommended as a top layer to keep the soil moist, Todd cautions that piling mulch against the tree trunk inhibits its growth. Trees need breathing space especially when they’re first planted.

Typically, Indiana’s average spring rainfall will be enough water for a newly-planted tree and shrub. His rule of thumb includes checking the soil first.

If

BASIC PLANTING TIPS • Choose plants by considering purpose, location, care, and water needs.

• Prepare the soil by breaking up clods and adding organic matter and topsoil.

it’s not moist, provide water. However, during a drought, trees should be watered regularly, preferably twice a week, with a slow trickle from the hose for 20 minutes. Todd notes that method also takes less water yet infiltrates the roots.

Shrubbery Favorites & Care

While shrubbery favorites include boxwoods, evergreens like junipers, privets, burning bushes, and purple plums, only the first two remain green throughout Indiana winters. Todd’s family stocks all the local favorites but will order special varieties as people may desire nostalgia plants that were popular 20-30 years ago.

Todd’s favorite shrub is the burning bush because it provides such vivid color. It’s also hardy since it can be cut back and then return even healthier.

Local residents also select flowering shrubs like lilacs, which stay green in winter. Todd prefers the Miss Kim Lilac and Korean Spice by Burnham.

If hummingbirds are desired, choose plants with the bigger, trumpet-shaped flowers. Planting flowers adds color to any home but requires more care, especially during drought. Todd recommends the Knock Out® Rose, especially the red one because of its durability and continuous blooming throughout summer. The brightlycolored Gerber Daisy is also a popular choice, but requires feeding when watering to ensure continued blooming.

Miss Kim Lilac

While fertilizing plants fosters growth, knowing what to use and when is also important.

Recommended Resources • stonescgc.com • bit.ly/atCGSimplyCultivating • bit.ly/atCGHowToPlantTrees

To supplement growth early in the planting season, use any triple 12% fertilizer (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium). Nitrogen, a fundamental nutrient, causes plant growth and greens it up. Phosphorus aids in the plant’s blooming process while potassium strengthens cell wall growth, helping the plant withstand heat, Todd and Jennifer Swartz owners of Stones Crossing cold, frost, and disease.

For flowering plants, Janet’s hosta garden is filled with using a bloom booster in late spring several native plants original to our and early summer enhances frequency area, like the Blue Wood Phlox, of the flowers. These fertilizers contain Christmas Fern, Epimedium, and a higher amount of phosphorus, the Trillium’s “Roadrunner.” The other middle number. Todd’s wife, Jennifer, go-to plants include Verbenas planted prefers Fertiloom’s bloom booster in pots or as ground cover that actually because it’s easy to use and apply. can bloom through December.

Drought-Resistant Plants

Last summer’s extreme heat and drought devastated local landscapes and lawns, leading local residents to search for plants that can Citrus Blend Lantana by Photofarmer survive such conditions.

Center Grove resident Janet Hommel Mangas, member of the Johnson County Garden Club and The American Horticulture Society, recommends re-thinking plants in which to invest. “The drought-resistant, go-to favorite that I plant every year is the citrus blend Lantana, with bright orange-pink flowers that thrive in the ground. Where I plant, it cascades over

Avoid planting too many flowers because they require a lot of water.

For a truly low-maintenance garden, flowers should be used sparingly while plants designed for ground cover can provide color with much less work.

Sharpen those shovels and clippers.

Spring is a great time to work the dirt, adding color and new life. As King Solomon once said, “For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under Heaven. . . . A time to plant and a time to harvest . . . Yet God has made everything beautiful in its own time.” Ecclesiastes 3 (New Living Translation, Tyndale House, 2007). cg Joyce Long, Greenwood Middle School language arts teacher from 1992-2000, has called Center Grove home for the past 25 years.

Currently Joyce works as the communications coordinator for Center for Global Impact and is passionate about engaging people to empower the poor.

Oh, go fLy a disc | Barbara Augsdorfer . Photos | Amanda DeBusk One of the easiest pieces of sports equipment to carry around is a Frisbee, or more generically, a disc. Discs are easier to throw than a boomerang, but the only problem is they work better with at least two people or a human and a dog – that is, if the dog is inclined to return the disc quickly without bite marks. Good luck with that.

In the mid-20th century, someone got the brilliant idea of aiming the plastic flying discs at targets such as trees, poles, and fire hydrants. Well, that was fun for a while; then some other brilliant person made a game of it, keeping score and, finally, making actual basket targets.

While that other game has been famously described as a “beautiful walk ruined by a little white ball,” disc golf is simple to play. Even a child can do it – and there are no greens fees. Disc golf is played like traditional golf, using flying discs instead of clubs and those annoying little white balls. The object in disc golf is to throw the disc from a designated starting area (tee) into a target called a pole hole in as few shots as possible. One stroke is counted for each throw of the disc. The winner is the disc golfer with the lowest score. Simple.

Searching the internet reveals a dizzying array of websites dedicated to the sport. (Try IndyDiscGolf.com for starters.)

Disc golf players are as fanatical about their discs and ancillary gear as any other sports enthusiast. Disc golf has evolved to the point where tournaments are held. One of the first tournaments held in California in the late 1970s awarded a Datsun B-210 to the winner. Remember when Datsuns were cool? (sigh) The first weekend in May has become known as “The World’s Biggest Disc Golf Weekend.” In 2012, more than 18,000 players in 200 cities participated.

One of the coolest things about disc golf is that with some minor modifications, blind and visually-impaired players can also participate in this sport. When Southport native Jacob Ayers began thinking about his Eagle Scout project in 2010, the most obvious thing came to him. At that time, Ayers was a junior at the Indiana School for the Blind and Visually Impaired. He decided to build a disc golf course that is blindand visually-impaired friendly on the school’s campus.

To help make his project a reality, Ayers raised $4,000 in eight months. With the help of a professional course designer, Dennis Byrne, he created the Eagle Eye Disc Golf Course “with all the bells and whistles.” The only thing missing, according to Ayers, was the technology. “At that point, the best I could do was to install tactile maps, Braille on the signs and bright yellow paint on the baskets,” said Ayers. The last piece of the puzzle finally came in the spring of 2012 when Ayers received a $1,250 grant from the Hamilton Disc Golf Union to travel to the national convention of the National Federation of the Blind in Dallas, Texas. He connected with Humanware (a company that specializes in aids for the visually impaired and blind) who loaned him a talking GPS device to find out how well it worked for course navigation. He also connected with Disc Beeper, a company that had a prototype beeper for flying discs but at that point had yet to start testing and marketing it. Upon request, the company also started a prototype remote-control beeper for the basket – the “hole” in disc golf. Talk about a serendipitous meeting!

“This is where things really started to happen,” recalls Ayers.

“The next step in my journey is that I started the Blind Disc Golf Association, a not-for-profit group to make disc golf readily available to blind and low-vision individuals who want to play.” This has led to some really big events for Ayers. “In April, I’m presenting to the National Federation of the Blind in Baltimore, Maryland, at their headquarters. I have also been invited by the National Boy Scout Council to assist setting up an ADA-approved course at the Summit in West Virginia. The course will be part of the grand opening of the Boy Scouts of America’s newest high-adventure camp

and the 2013 National Scout Jamboree. Following that, we will be at the World Championships for the Professional Disc Golf Association in Crown Point, Indiana, in August.”

Ayers is currently a freshman at Purdue University in Calumet, Indiana, studying electrical engineering. He’s only 19 years old and already heads a national not-for-profit organization. And that’s not all. “My plans for the next few years are to install courses around the country and the world that are blind friendly. I want to create competitions among other schools for the blind. There is still lots to be done, and I have several people to which I contribute the success of the organization: Dennis Byrne, David Romano, Chris Jones, Rod Humphrey, Nason Tackett, Amber Price, and Mom and Dad. I can’t take all the credit for this as it would not be doing all these wonderful people justice.”

It’s easy to understand how excited Ayers is about this project. But now it’s time to make like a disc and float back to Earth. Since the blind and visually impaired rely on sound, the “Disc Beeper” is the one adaptation that makes disc golf play possible. “The National Federation for the Blind makes a beeping disc,” says Ayers. “But it’s too heavy and doesn’t fly very far.” In contrast, the Disc Beeper isn’t some heavy thing that inhibits the disc’s flying ability. No way. It weighs only 6 grams (that’s less than ¼ ounce). “It doesn’t alter the disc’s flying ability at all,” says Ayers. “The Disc Beeper attaches to any disc using some of the strongest adhesive made by 3M and emits a periodic audible beep that can be heard up to 250 feet away. The Disc Beeper also features multiple beeping sounds to allow multiple players to distinguish their disc from other discs.” According to the Disc Beeper website, the company is working on variations to the Disc Beeper such as increasing the distance that the sounds can be heard since blind players rely solely on sound to find their discs. Come to think of it, the Disc Beeper would be handy even for sighted players who tend to end up in the rough or woods more than the target. Hmmm…

In addition to the discs, the holes – or targets – can be fitted with devices to aid blind and visually-impaired players. Disc Beeper has teamed up with D3LLC which has developed Left: Mckenzie Colglazier, of Elkhart Indiana, is coached by Dennis Byrne of “The Disc Golf Company,” and Director of the Blind Disc Golf Association. Right: This is the Disc Beeper. It is attached to the bottom of the disk. The tone emitted can be changed using the USB connection, seen here on the side of the beeper.

In the future, it may be possible to change the tone emitted by the beeper to your favorite phone ring-tone. The beeper weighs less than 1/4 ounce.

the “Basket Beeper.” It’s just like it …um…sounds. And, of course, Eagle Eye DGC is a test course for this technology.

Each hole is fitted with a remote-control beeper programmed to beep a unique sequence. Think of Morse Code with its short and long beeps. Now think of Roman numerals 1 through 5: I, II, III, IV, and V. “The I’s are short beeps and the V’s are long beeps,” Ayers explains. So, on a nine-hole disc golf course, a blind player would know that three short beeps is No. 3 and a long beep followed by two short beeps is No. 7.

“We are also developing an iPhone application for course navigation,” Ayers adds. “The app will give you an audio description of the hole, act as a range finder for locating the target, and give the user direction of travel. We decided to develop that app so it would be an affordable alternative to the Trekker Breeze GPS made by Humanware. The iPhone is the standard platform for accessible phones for the blind on the market.”

“I am living the American dream,” says Ayers. “I’m an innovator. I went from nothing and followed a dream and accomplished something that most people laughed at. When you tell someone about disc golf for the blind they typically don’t believe you till you show them,” Ayers continues.

“Seeing is believing.”

dealing with dyslexia As a person who has dyslexia, I can share that it has affected my life in many subtle ways. As a child with what today has been identified as a mild level of dyslexia, there were many issues that were difficult for me in the learning process. I knew I was capable, but some simple tasks were overly complicated for reasons I did not understand at that time in my life, as the word “dyslexia” had not been entered into the diagnostic world of learning disabilities.

Math was hard and complicated. Transposing numbers and memorizing formulas was overwhelming. Studying another language was difficult, and sounding out unfamiliar words didn’t work for me as, at that time, I didn’t have the learning tools to work through the sounds and pronunciation necessary to master this task. If I heard it pronounced correctly, I had to memorize the sound and repeat it out loud over and over again. Although my grades were usually in the A’s and B’s, my timed test scores did not match my ability to show that I, indeed, knew the subject. It took me longer to whip through a 30-minute paper test than the other kids. I have to admit, in those early days before dyslexia had a name, I always felt that in certain subjects I simply could not compete with other kids. Years later, when the connection to this learning disorder was correctly diagnosed, a huge weight was lifted and the process of working through certain staggering elements of this disability was put in place.

Today, I know that at least 20% of the population has dyslexia. This means that at least one of your friends, family members, or coworkers is currently dealing with dyslexia and its challenges.

For almost a quarter of a century, the Dyslexia Institute of Indiana (DII) has existed to serve children, adolescents, and adults with specific learning disabilities. Beginning with the student at the center, DII serves elements of the community that touch the life of the student. DII provides skills, services, and strategies that enable individuals to attain their full potential by learning to manage the challenges of dyslexia and benefit from its advantages.

The term dyslexia refers to a cluster of systems that result in people having difficulty with specific language Beyond academic success, DII promises each student the ability to minimize fear, develop confidence, and celebrate success. Dyslexia does not just affect performance in school or the workplace – it can hinder self esteem, social skills, and the ability to reach one’s true potential.

skills, particularly reading, spelling, written expression, and pronouncing words. Other problems experienced by individuals with dyslexia include: • Learning to speak • Organizing written and spoken language • Learning letters and their sounds • Memorizing number facts • Spelling • Reading • Learning a foreign language • Correctly doing math operations It’s important to note that not all individuals who exhibit these systems are dyslexic. Formal testing is the only way to confirm a diagnosis of suspected dyslexia.

The following information serves as a guideline for recognizing systems that might be related to this learning disability. Signs of dyslexia in young, preschool children include talking later than expected, a slowness to add new words, difficulty rhyming, and trouble following multistep directions. After a child begins school, the signs of dyslexia include: • Difficulty reading single words, such as a word on a flashcard • Difficulty learning the connection between letters and sounds • Confusing small words, such as “at” and “to” • Letter reversals, such as “d” for “b” • Word reversals, such as “tip” for “pit” • Inserting or deleting small words like “not” Having one of these signs does not mean your child has dyslexia; many children reverse letters before the age of 7. But, if several signs exist and reading problems persist, or if you have a family history of dyslexia, you may want to have your child evaluated. The earlier a parent sees what might be a presenting problem with their child’s learning ability, the better.

Many years ago when I was a child, I couldn’t exactly explain why I had trouble with certain elements of learning. Today with the wonderful research and commitment of DII, children have the tools for learning and accomplishing tasks that were beyond my time. What a blessing this is! cg This article was submitted by an anonymous student from the Dyslexia Institute of Indiana (DII).

At the Table | Harvest Bistro America’s Heartland Cuisine Served Upscale Review & Photos | Julie Yates, Food Editor Just a bit down the road from Greenwood at 226 State Road 135 and State Road 144, Harvest Bistro in Bargersville is worth the drive.

Although it is slightly more expensive than the average chain restaurant, this reviewer found the privately-owned establishment to be a good value due to the ample portion sizes, delicious food, and exceptional staff service.

The decor of Harvest Bistro is Indiana homey yet gives off a contemporary verve at the same time. Pictures of Midwest barns hang on the roughly-finished interior walls next to contemporary light fixtures. The leather-upholstered booths sport a couple comfortable pillows. And placed throughout the dining area are old-time artifacts such as an antique stove. Incorporated into the decorating scheme are pieces of a barn which the owner and chef, Tracy Lemmonds, tore down.

After being warmly greeted and seated, we were handed clipboards on which the menu and the extensive wine list were attached. Our waiter was knowledgeable and enthusiastically described the dishes on the menu to us. The bill of fare runs the gamut all the way from appetizers, soup, salads, small plates, entrees, side dishes, kid’s menu, to dessert. Several of the dishes are vegan or gluten free.

Although the entrees range in price from $26 to $30, the “Small Plates” offerings such as meatloaf, fried half

chicken, and duck confit include salads and sides, and at least five were $18 or under. The focus of the food is classic American supplied by local farmers and growers; but due to the chef’s Vietnamese heritage and South Carolina upbringing, there is a hint of Asian and a Southern influence evident in the menu choices.

We were impressed that Chef Tracy personally brought out at least one course to each table of patrons. In our case, it was the appetizers – the duck spring rolls and the stuffed portobello.

He explained that the spring rolls, comprised of shredded vegetables and ground duck, were also served at the restaurant his mother owned during his childhood. The huge marinated mushroom, stuffed with three cheeses, chopped artichokes, peppers, and basil, could have easily been shared with others.

Next, we shared roasted tomato bisque and beet salad. The two little triangles of grilled cheese sandwich served with the soup were a nice touch, but what really impressed us was the salad. A perfect balance of flavors, the seasoned pistachio nuts played off nicely against the roasted beets served with field greens, goat cheese, and balsamic

vinaigrette. Along with our soup and salad, we were presented with two kinds of bread wrapped in a napkin pouch and served with butter triangles sprinkled with a bit of kosher salt.

For our entrees, we selected the sea scallops and the night’s special, a salmon filet finished with a pineapple, soy, and shag bark reduction sauce. We also sampled sides of sautéed spinach and creamed peas. The food was fresh and beautifully presented. The three jumbo, perfectly seared, scallops served with jasmine pilaf on a bed of asparagus were almost too pretty to eat. The salmon was incredibly delectable; and the sautéed spinach was neither underdone nor a wilted mess, but cooked perfectly. The creamed peas were slightly crunchy and the parmesan cream sauce was on the thin side. It was, nevertheless, very tasty but may have been hurried out of the kitchen just a tad too soon.

We ended our feast with Chef Tracy’s Fruit Cobbler. In this case, it was a huge serving of very thinly-sliced baked apples with a crumble topping, a scoop of ice cream, and a drizzle of caramel sauce. We took most of it home along with some of the other courses the staff kindly boxed up for us.

Would we visit Harvest Bistro again?

Yes! Even the garnishes were scrumptious and evidently well thought out. Not only was everything delicious, we were struck by the attention to the little details that made our experience special. cg

The decor at harvest bistro is comfortably rustic yet contemporary.

A Good Landscape Plan Reflects Lifestyle | Tonja Talley

L

andscapes tell a story, a story of life. Kent Fisher, president of Greenleaf Landscaping & Lawn Care, referenced outdoor living spaces as our mini retreat; consequently, every aspect of our landscape should reflect our lifestyles.

Our residential landscapes speak of the ever-changing Indiana weather, the play area for the kids, a relaxing area for morning coffee, romp room for Fido, shade for the front windows, all while blocking out old man Peterson poolside in his Speedo.

Mark Tucker, designer for Greenleaf, believes it is in the planning of the design that makes the difference. “In my opinion, planning is the key element for a successful landscape transformation. Whether using a professional landscaping company or doing it yourself, homeowners would be wise to research carefully what they want out of the functionality, aesthetics, and cost of their areas. This type of planning pays off in great dividends at the end.”

Functionality When considering the functionality of an area, a homeowner should think of all the members that will be sharing the outdoor living space, including pets. Cats don’t seem to be much of a problem, with the exception of getting into uncovered sandboxes. Creatures of habit, dogs love to run, play, chase, and dig. Many homeowners enjoy planted landscapes in corners of their yard, but their dogs love to run the fence line. What is a homeowner to do? “When a customer wants a corner planting and they own a dog, I pull the design away from the corner on both sides enough to give the dog his running path. It has a great look to it, and everyone is happy.”

According to Mark, one of the biggest mistakes we make in our landscape planning involves not looking into the future.

“If a homeowner is thinking of putting in a pool in two years, it doesn’t make sense to put in a huge water element or fountain in the only front corner that big equipment will need to go through to dig the pool. I suggest to my clients to consider the water element in the other front corner of the house. This is how planning can help.”

Future dreams of having children should be considered in a landscape plan. Young couples, hoping to have children someday, will eventually need room and shade for play equipment. Most homeowners wouldn’t want to place an expensive garden art sculpture in the only place possible for an eventual play yard. “Swing sets, sandboxes, trampolines, and tee ball practice all require plenty of space and some shade,” said Mark with a look of parental concern in his eyes. “Safety is the first consideration in a design for a children’s play yard. Their area needs to be where parents can keep an eye on them and also be contained with the use of fencing, walls, or plantings.”

The functionality section wouldn’t be complete without talking a little bit about hardscapes. The employees of Greenleaf refer to hardscaping as the structural elements of your outdoor living space. Those elements that help create welcoming spaces or gathering areas include: patios made from cement or pavers, mulched paths, fountains, outdoor fireplaces, fire pits, or retaining walls. While most of these items are strictly done by professionals such as Greenleaf, both the homeowner and the professional need to be aware of the out-of-sight elements, such as septic systems, wells, irrigation systems, invisible dog fences, or secondary gas or electric lines. “I have seen too many incidents where companies did not get the answers to these questions and hardscapes have had to be torn out to fix a septic system problem for example,” said Mark. Knowing these concerns ahead of time will allow for a tranquil and fun landscaped area later.

Aesthetics Aesthetics plays a big role in creating the mini-retreat feel. Magazines and the internet give a homeowner a chance to dream and contemplate whether a certain look fits their lifestyle and space.

Curved landscapes with ornamental grasses waving in the

e wind can be calming to some, where others relax in a paradise of color. So, homeowners must ask themselves: • What colors do we and don’t we desire in our landscape?

• Are there specific plants (trees, shrubs, flowers, grasses) we want to use?

Mark suggests when designing an area, a homeowner needs to know the mature heights of plantings, so flowers, shrubs, and trees can all be displayed in an eye-pleasing layout. Do not plant trees with expansive root systems near a home because they can cause structural damage. Another plant consideration is their climate and watering needs. With plants, it is also important to know their watering needs.

A homeowner doesn’t want to drown some and dehydrate others; grouping together plants that have the same climate and water hydration restrictions is recommend.

As garden writer and designer Don Engebretson once said, “Your property serves many functions. A good design [plan] results in a landscape that works and plays with you, not against you.” cg

Budget The most important part of a landscaping design plan might very well be the budget. Before calling the professional or pulling out the shovels, homeowners need to have an idea of what they can spend. “You can’t buy even a used Lamborghini for $12,000. You have to look at the budget to see what you can afford. However, this is where a good, solid design plan can come in handy. It can be done in phases when expenditures are possible.”

Whether doing a landscape all at once or phasing the project, Mark advises to compare prices for everything. For instance, if you’re doing the job yourself, it might be cheaper to purchase mulch for the required 3” depth in bulk rather than by bags.

Making ¢ents Monthly Budgeting is Cool with YNAB |Kate Rhoten There are some things in life we don’t like to do, but we must if we are going to be successful. If you are in business, you look for ways to improve your product or service to become more profitable and better serve your clients. If you like to play sports, you practice, practice, and practice to elevate your game to the next level. Personal finance is the same.

We’ve been doing a monthly budget since late 2004. We’ve tried a myriad of methods from handwritten on paper, an Excel spreadsheet, and free and purchased software programs.

Just a couple months ago, my husband and I found a unique software program that is, in my humble opinion, the best tool for creating a household budget. You Need A Budget (shorten to YNAB) is the combination of our spreadsheet, our check register, and the reports that we create in other personal finance software programs. Having a plan or budget each month will make it easier to make money behave and achieve your goals.

YNAB makes this very easy. You can download a free, fully functional, evaluation copy at YNAB.com.

YNAB starts with the desktop software program. YNAB software is more robust and easy to use than anything I have tried in the past. Once you download the software to your computer, you can use their tutorials to walk through how to use their budget program. It is interactive between the check register and the actual budget. You don’t have to start with your bank statement date or your pay date; just enter your current balance in your checking account and start allocating dollars on the budget page. What really makes this so unique is that as you enter the dollars in a budget category, it reduces the balance you have left to budget until you have allocated down to zero or what you need to budget. Any unallocated dollars will carry over to the next month.

YNAB provides a “starter” budget, but you can easily customize it to suit your own household needs. There are master categories with sub-categories pre-loaded in the software. The budget can be as detailed or broad as one would like. Each user of YNAB will have to adjust this to fit their needs. You can always change and realign items. It’s easy to rename, add/delete master and sub-categories, and move the sub-categories around.

At this point, you are ready to enter transactions just as you would in a check register. Stop laughing. I know some people don’t use them with the advancement of online banking, but trust me, after 7-½ years working in the banks, this is a sure-fire way NOT to miss something or get a surprise from the bank in the way of an overdraft fee. As transactions are entered and categorized, it reduces the balance available in the budget category to which the expense is assigned. No more manual tracking. This can be done when you get home from your busy day of work, errands, and being the taxi getting children from one place to another. Another feature of YNAB is that you can still move money from one category to another if something comes up. It is never set in stone.

The real power of YNAB comes from the ability to link it to your smartphone for YNAB on the go. This is where YNAB really shines and provides the greatest benefit to its users. Have you ever lost a receipt from a debit card before

entering it in the check register? I am guilty of tucking receipts in various pockets of my bag only to have to empty the entire bag to update our register once home. Not anymore. No more ticker tape receipts from CVS or the gas station pay-atthe-pump to take home. As soon as I am done, I use the app to enter the transaction and get on with my day. I enter everything the minute I am done with the transaction. It is so very cool. Note to those of you who are not so tech savvy: you need to have a way to synchronize your entries to the software program on the computer at home. This is done through “the cloud.” The great mystical cloud above takes the information entered on the smartphone and, in our case, sends it to Dropbox where it then updates the YNAB software on our computer.

I was very impressed with all the features You Need A Budget has to offer. In addition, they provide live webinars and a wealth of training videos as well as online support. YNAB has really thought the budget program through, and it is easy to apply the budget plan many people know from Dave Ramsey.

YNAB does address bills such as loans and credit cards, so this is not for just debt-free individuals. I like how this is a living, breathing spending plan that can be with us wherever we are. I don’t mind the envelope system, but this is much easier for us – not to mention safer. The software program is $60, after a 34day free trial. If you add the app – which, by the way, is usable

on multiple devices using the same YNAB software program – it’s a $5 onetime cost (not per device).

Versions are available for both Android-based phones and the iPhone. If you would like to learn more about how we use YNAB, please visit 4wallsfinancial.com for specific details on how we use the software and app. cg Kate is a financial expert of what to do and not do with money as well as owner of 4 Walls Financial, A Coaching-Focused Company.
