All the world’s a stage L
et’s talk about the stage you are setting when preparing your home to sell. I’d like to share some helpful tips that will refresh your living space, bring more buyers and increase your home’s value in an affordable fashion. You hire a realtor to help you market the single largest asset your family owns. Using a staging expert is the biggest market differentiator because we can make your house appeal to the largest potential audience and increase its value. Staging: What Is It? Staging involves depersonalizing a home to appeal to the largest number of buyers. It is the art of creating moods. A bigger, brighter, cleaner and more warm, inviting space comes to life as a result. Staging is not decorating because decorating is personalizing a home. Staging is preparing it so that potential buyers can visualize their lives in the home. Barb Schwarz is an expert on staging and the creator of the concept. Three years ago, I took her class in Las Vegas to become an Accredited Staging Professional. Since then, I have been practicing the techniques and the payoffs have been significant for the sellers. I have included a few of Barb’s quotes below that easily communicate how to stage. As a professional realtor, I help sellers prepare their “homes� to become “houses� on the market. Living in your home and marketing your house are two different

things. The moment you list your home it becomes a product for consumers. The greater number of prospects who can imagine themselves living in you house, the better. A professional stager can help the seller evaluate what should be left in a room or taken out so that the potential buyer can see the house as their perfect home. Why is Staging Important? Staging can result in faster sales time and higher sales price. Statistics based on a survey conducted by the International Association of Home Staging Professionals and StagedHomes.com show that 95 percent of Accredited Staging Professional (ASP) staged homes sell, on average, in 11 days or less and for 17 percent more. ASP staged homes spend 83 percent less time on the market than non-staged homes. When you stage your home, you are “in the market” not just “on the market.” Take a look at the before and after photos inside this article. This is a Newburgh house where I applied many of the tips below which resulted in a faster-than-average sale for a higher price tag than we might have predicted.
Helpful Tips •Create Space. “Clutter eats equity.” In other words, buyers are essentially buying light and space. They want to see openness, cleanliness and plenty of room. •Depersonalize: Remove items like trophies, medals, deer heads, diplomas, etc. We appreciate pride in your life, parenting and family, but sometimes too much can again hinder buyers from seeing their own life inside your house. •Deodorize. If you can smell it, you can’t sell it! People can be sensitive to all types of smells. Thus, don’t line your outlets with electric powered air fresheners. Simply make sure it smells clean and fresh. The more neutral the scent,
the more empty canvas the buyer can imagine. This may involve removing pets during showings, not smoking indoors and refraining from cooking with strong spices during the list period. •Walls. Wall hangings and personal photos should be minimized. Bare walls are unattractive, so you should strive to communicate a lived-in feel. •Curb Appeal. First impressions before buyers step inside are crucial. Landscaping, lighting, fresh paint on front door and walkways can all impact the buyer’s perceived value and interest level. •Color. When wall colors are too dark or bold, I often suggest that sellers repaint in a neutral color prior to listing. Neutral colors vary on what compliment the other finishes in the house. •Flowers and 13000 Gore Road Plants. Fresh flowers Lynnville, IN 47619 on a kitchen table and 812-922-5612 touches of greenery www.mystiquewine.com add life to a room and HOURS (CST) house.

With Fri. 11 a.m. - 8 p.m. their agent, sellers should evaluate any needed repairs where Where friends meet and the wine is unique. necessary prior to listing their homes. Buyers sometimes exaggerate the cost to repair imperfections. When a seller has neglected to maintain
components of the home, the perception is that it could end up being more costly to repair than is actually the case. This could lead to the buyer making a lower offer than the seller would accept. The best solution is to fix what the seller knows needs to be fixed before putting the house on the market. •Furniture Placement. The goal is to create a look which will maximize the functional space of the room and increase the perceived size of the space. Most sellers are relieved to know that this usually is not a costly part of staging because pieces of furniture are more likely to be removed rather than added. •Cleanliness. Pretend like your favorite celebrity is coming to visit your home. Clean like you’ve never cleaned before – Q-Tip clean. Dust woodwork, light bulbs, vents, the list can go on and on because every detail matters under the scrutinizing buyer’s eye. You’ll want to set aside at minimum a good several days for this process. The helpful tips above come together to create perfect photographs which will appear online. As a professional realtor, my job is to give you the greatest exposure to potential buyers. With 95 percent of all buyers starting their search online, the Internet serves as your homes’ first showing. Your home must be “Dressed for Success” at all times until closing! Staging your home can benefit you in all market conditions. Every motivated seller wants a quick sale at the maximum price. Staging may sound like hard work at first, but many people begin to enjoy the creative process and they always love the end reward — going to closing! ----Becky Ismail is an Accredited Staging Professional, Broker Associate, and Multi-Million Dollar Producer for ERA First Advantage Realty, Inc. She keeps an inventory of staging items for her clients. Her daughter, Annabelle Ismail, works on her team as a licensed assistant, buyer’s agent and is also a fellow ASP.

Rebuilding a tradition of winning Another year of high school football is finally here. When the Knights take the field on Friday nights, there will be a lot of new faces. “We return three starters on offense and three on defense,” Castle coach Doug Hurt said. The glaring holes are on offense with Mitch Gilles, Jon-Marc Anderson, Cameron Parus and Joe Redburn, who all graduated. “Not many teams have two 1,000 yard receivers and a 700 yard receiver,” Hurt said. Anderson, Parus and Redburn combined for 3,301 receiving yards and 46 touchdowns last year. Throwing the ball to this dynamic trio was Gilles, who was 185 of 287 for 3,006 yards and 43 touchdowns.
On defense, the Knights are without last year’s leader, Rayce Thornbury, who led the team with 72 tackles. The other two voids on this year’s team is on the defensive line as twin brothers, Grant and Mitch Carter graduated. “There’s no question the past few years the bar has been set pretty high,” Hurt said. Not only did Castle lose the majority of its offensive production from last year, but they also lost their leader. “Jon-Marc brought a unique energy,” Hurt said. “You couldn’t run him into the ground. He couldn’t run enough go-routes and the team fed off that.” A new era is beginning at Castle with not much experience, but that doesn’t mean Castle doesn’t have
talent. “A lot of guys haven’t played a lot,” Hurt said. “Are they talented? Yes, just no experience.” At the quarterback position, there are two players battling for the starting position. Sophomores Eric Wilhite and Will Randall are both battling to lead the Knights on Friday night. Wilhite has a little experience, going 2-0 last year, opening the season for Castle with Gilles unable to play. What Randall brings is having the prototypical quarterback frame, standing 6 feet 3 inches tall. Figuring out who might win the starting position has been fluid. “It depends on what minute of the day we’re talking,” Hurt said. “We’re waiting for the front runner
to emerge.” Protecting whoever is under center will be up to the offensive line, led by Andrew Gearheart and Tim Roeder. Gearheart has started the last two years and Hurt said he expects him to lead on and off the field. Looking to relieve some of the pressure off the quarterback will be running back Christain Peach. Peach will get the bulk of the carries this year with Andrew Finch no longer on the team. Leading the defense this year will be senior Clay Seitz. “Clay has the chance to be the best defensive player south of Indy,” Hurt said, “maybe the entire state. He is fast and athletic, but also an excellent student.” The Knights will employ the Tampa-2 defense made famous by Tony Dungy. The key position in this defense is the middle linebacker, who has to play the pass first in the deep middle and then come up and cover the run. This position also calls for the linebacker to be fast and cover a lot of ground. Last year this position was filled by Thornbury, who is now playing at Lindsey Wilson College and the Knights have to find a replacement. Luckily for the staff, they didn’t have to look far. Thornbury’s younger brother, Mitchell, will be the Mike this year. “We feel that Mitchell is a little better athletically at this point than his brother,” Hurt said. “He is a little faster and athletic. The thing Rayce had going for him was he was so intelligent and had a feel for the game. If Mitchell can develop from the mental standpoint, we’re going to have a real gem.” While Thornbury is the key to this defense, the Tampa-2 defense is also about speed and tackling. “We won’t give up a lot of big plays,” Hurt said. “We will get 11 guys to the ball. We aren’t the biggest, but we can fly around.”

CATCHING UP WITH
nderson
Transitioning from high school to college During his high school career, Jon-Marc Anderson shined on the football field at Castle High School. After his career ended, Anderson held the school record for career reception yards. Last February, Anderson’s hard work paid off as he signed his national letter of intent to play football at Illinois State University. While recent high school graduates are getting ready to leave home or just moved in, Anderson has called ISU home since June 6. Anderson moved in and started off-season summer workouts and the transition from high school football to Division 1 football began. “The transition has gone well,” Anderson said. “I’ve had to really adapt and become more independent.” He said the biggest thing is making sure he is where he needs to be, on time. Normally a simple task has become difficult in college. “The biggest difference is not having a car,” Anderson said. The other change he noticed as soon as he moved in was his living arrangement. “I’m used to living in a house,” Anderson said. Instead, like most freshman, Anderson is living in a dorm with a teammate. However, he has realized living with a teammate has its benefits. One of the unforeseen benefits is being able to help each other. Anderson’s
14

roommate is Jalen Battle, a two-star safety out of Plantation, Fla. “We help each other out,” Anderson said. “I get to understand what the defense sees.” On the field, Anderson has been taking it day-by-day, practice-by-practice and play-by-play. On Aug. 5, summer workouts ended and two-a-days started. This also marked the first time the coaching staff was able to be with the players, per NCAA rules. “The things we liked about JonMarc in high school are showing up at camp,” ISU receivers coach Dan Shula said. ISU boasts a deep receiving corps this year and Anderson knows when its his turn in practice he has to step up. “I am trying to earn my stripes,” An-
derson said, “show them what I can do and make plays when they need to be made.” One of the biggest things Anderson has been working on is understanding ISU’s playbook. “Castle’s offense was similar,” Anderson said. “It makes it easier, but its more in-depth.” Shula said what makes the playbook difficult isn’t always the offense, but rather what the defense is running. “You have to be able to read and adjust,” Shula said. Shula said depending on what the coverage the defense is in, the receivers have to read that and alter their route. Being able to read the varying defenses, Shula said the team has spent plenty of time in the film room. “It’s one thing to watch film,” Shula said. “You have to watch the right thing. Everyone wants to watch the ball. You have to focus on the secondary and things like the feet placement of defenders.” Another adjustment is one that every offensive player makes when they join a new team. In high school, Anderson had a nearly unstoppable connection with Castle quarterback Mitch Gilles. The two are no longer together and Anderson is catching balls from multiple quarterbacks in practice. “We are learning what each other can do and trying to find that connection like I had in high school,” Anderson said.

Painting the town Michael Smith continues to leave his artistic mark on area. Smith, owner of Orange Moon Art Studio, has created murals for all but three Warrick County schools — Castle North Middle School, Tecumseh Jr./Sr. High School and Boonville High School. He just finished work at J.H. Castle Elementary School and Castle High School this past spring. Smith’s larger than life murals have given area schools its own unique and distinctive look. Smith, who spent a year as a student at CHS before moving away, said he is happy to give back to area schools and looks forward to knowing that this mural will still be here when his kids’ kids attend school. His first local piece was a donation to Chandler Elementary School, where he attended as a child. His latest piece at Chandler Elementary features a Viking ship and raiders busting through the gymnasium wall. “I love (painting),” he said. “If I was a billionaire I’d still be up there painting stuff.” What are some of the pieces of art that the public might have seen from you? Some of the more familiar works are the murals at Castle High School, Castle South Middle School, as well as both the downtown and Dunigan YMCA’s. But, who can forget the Spongebob car? Do you have a particular “style” of art? Not at this point. The majority of the pieces are commissioned, so each piece develops in a different style. What benefits do you get from being an artist? The number one benefit of being an artist is all the extra time I spend with my family. But, also art is what satisfies my soul, it is what I am supposed to do. How did you first get involved with art? Initially, it was watching my cousin and uncle, who were both artists. I then went on to create professionally at the age of 18 and never stopped, aside from military service time. What is the process that you go through when coming up with a new design? First, we evaluate the area and what ideas the client has for the work. Then, comes the sketching and the obsessive thought process. This step normally takes place on a big sheet of paper with crayons (and kids helping).
Is there anyone or anything that you derive inspiration from? Bob Ross! Michelangelo! These are the two artists I studied most. But some others who I admired are Boris Valejo, Alex Gray and various fantasy cover artists. What is your favorite piece of art that you have created? It is always the most recently completed piece. Although, a piece is never really completed, just abandoned. What role does criticism play in what you design next? Well, it certainly is constructive. It definitely makes me take a look at the pieces from other points of view, which is very helpful to reaching the end result. Have you ever felt like giving up? It never even crossed my mind. What’s the best thing about being an artist? The best thing about being an artist is being able to use my hands to build or create anything that I want to. 18
Newburgh on the Ohio Magazine | Fall 2013
There really are no limits to what can be done. What’s the worst thing about being an artist? Deadlines! Unfortunately, I do my best work under pressure and deadlines offer so much pressure. I don’t like pressure. What advice do you have for aspiring artists? Keep buying materials, keep making mistakes and remember to always challenge yourself. How do you hope people remember you? As the guy who loves to paint pictures — huge pictures!

The Yogic Diet: Then and now
I once read that yoga cannot be defined. Experienced, yes, but never defined. Yoga can positively influence your life in a variety of ways. In this article, I will guide you through how yoga is intertwined in our diets. I will begin by walking you through the history and roots of the yogic diet and then show you how present day yoga practitioners continue to incorporate some of the founding principles in a modern day version of the yogic diet. There are five main principles in yoga teaching: proper exercise, breath, relaxation, diet and meditation. The principle of proper diet states that your diet should nourish both mind and body. One’s diet should be well balanced and based on natural foods and strive for eating in moderation. The traditional yogic diet is lacto-vegetarian, meaning one would not consume meat or animal by-products with the exception of milk and milk products like cheese and butter. A yogic diet strives to consist of pure, natural foods that are easily digested. This eating philosophy stems from Hindu beliefs. The birth place of yoga is India. Yoga’s roots are found in Hinduism and Ayurveda, which translates into the “science of life.” The aim of Ayurveda is to integrate and balance the body, mind and spirit to help prevent illness and promote wellness. Prakriti, the Sanskrit word meaning “nature” is defined as having three aspects or qualities known as gunas. The yogic diet is classified based off of these three gunas: sattvic, tamasic or rajasic. Sattvic foods are the purest diet. The food nourishes the body and maintains a peaceful state. Sattvic foods include nuts and seeds, honey, dried peas, beans and lentils, grains, fresh fruits and vegetables and milk, butter and cheese. Tamasic foods are considered impure foods, foods that are highly processed or refined. 20
Newburgh on the Ohio Magazine | Fall 2013
Tamasic foods include meat, alcohol, canned and packaged foods, fermented foods and heavily salted foods. Rajasic foods are picy, sour, bitter or stimulating foods. Rajasic foods include coffee, tea, fish, eggs and strong spices or herbs like curry, onion and garlic. The Modern Yogic Diet Lets take a look at a more modern approach to the traditional yoga diet. Becoming a vegetarian is not a requirement to practice yoga. In modern day yoga, the nutritional approach is more focused on eating clean and eating mindfully. If we consider the origins of the word “diet,” it is based on the Latin word diaita, which means “a manner of living or a way of life.” So, in a sense, our diets are often a reflection of our lifestyles. No two diets will ever be exactly alike and that’s okay. With our busy, fast-paced lives, we often times forget that food is a precious gift. The foods that we consume will either provide us with sustainable energy or wreak havoc on our bodies and health. Insights from a Modern Yogi Mark Goltiao, the owner of Evansville Power Yoga has experienced his own transformation with his weight and nutrition through the practice of yoga. Over a decade ago, Mark’s weight had climbed to more than 200 pounds. At that time, he decided to start practicing power yoga to lose weight and get back into shape. After a year, Mark had successfully lost 50 pounds. Eventually, he decided to pursue teacher training and began teaching power yoga. His activity level remained high from yoga practice and teaching, but his nutrition was beginning to slip slightly and he noticed his weight starting to fluctuate. As an instructor, Mark strives to set a positive example and to live the way he teaches, with mindfulness and intention. In efforts to stabilize his weight and to con-

WARRCK COUNTY’S ONLY NEW FORD DEALER GOT TO GIVE US A TRY BEFORE YOU BUY!
tinue advancing his personal yoga practice, Mark made the decision to begin eating cleaner by removing as much processed foods and sugars from his diet that he could and he adopted a meatless diet, with the exception of occasionally consuming fish. Though his diet changes did not come without their own obstacles, he has learned that the mindfulness that he now focuses on his nutrition has allowed him to keep his weight stable as well as feel better and be more alert, not only in his practice but in life. A modern (and a little more realistic) approach to the yoga diet is through clean eating and mindfulness. Clean eating is a term that many individuals may already use to describe their own diet goals, but for some the concept of what clean eating means can be a little fuzzy. The main principle of clean eating focuses on choosing whole foods, or foods that are as close to their natural state as possible. As a general rule, clean eaters seek to avoid all highlyprocessed and refined foods. A rule that I instruct my clients on is, if you can’t pronounce an ingredient on the label then you don’t need to be eating it. Ingredients that clean eaters consider to be “off-limits” (or at least reduced as much as possible) include: artificial sweeteners, high-fructose corn syrup, artificial colors and dyes and chemical preservatives. Clean eaters focus on choosing whole fruits and vegetables in their natural state, lean meats (preferably organic or antibiotic and hormone free), fish, beans and legumes, low-fat dairy products and whole grains. The clean eating approach recommends eating small, frequent meals (each meal ranging from 200 to 400 calories) to help stabilize blood sugar and insulin levels in the body, as well as keeping your metabolism revved higher throughout the day. Regular exercise is another important concept of clean eating. Routine exercise will aid in keeping the body tone, manage weight, maintain optimal bone health and strengthen the immune system. The concept of clean eating can feel overwhelming at first or at the least challenging. If the clean eating approach is a lifestyle that you would like to adopt, I would recommend starting slowly and gradually start making changes to the foods you select. According to an article by Diane Welland, MS, RD that was published in Today’s Dietitian, some individuals express concerns that the clean eating “diet” is lacking in salt and sugar and will taste bland. This is a concern that is commonly expressed among individuals that have diets heavy in processed or fast foods. The reason behind this complaint is due to a concept called sensory overload. The tastes that people enjoy and crave are learned. When we frequently consume foods high in salt or sugar, not only does it make us crave these foods more, but it also raises our threshold for these tastes. Anytime we are making changes to our food choices it can take a few weeks to “retrain” our taste buds and become accustomed to foods 22

with less salt and sugar. “Processed foods not only extend the shelf life, but they also extend the waistline.” – Unknown If you aren’t quite ready to adopt the principles of the clean eating lifestyle, you can still obtain numerous physical and mental health benefits from becoming more mindful about food. There is a Chinese proverb that says, “Eat less, taste more.” Mindful eating is about establishing a connection with food. Americans so many times use food like a drug. We use food to alter or numb our mood. Emotional eating uses food to fill the emptiness that can be created by depression, stress, fear or anger. Being mindful about what we choose to eat, when we eat and why we eat can allow you to break through old habits and begin to create new, healthier ones. Try the following tips to help get started with mindful eating: •Ask yourself, “Am I eating as a result of hunger, or am I eating to escape?” •Pause before you eat to give thanks for your food. Realize that food nourishes our bodies and we should show gratitude for that gift. •Listen to your body’s cues. Can you tell when you first feel full? •When you feel a craving, pause before you automatically indulge. Ask yourself, “Where is this craving coming from? Do I really need it?” Try distracting yourself before giving in to the craving. Try drinking a glass of water, take a walk, etc. •Slow down at meals and snacks. It takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes for our brain to register the signals from our stomach telling us that we are full. •Don’t be distracted while you are eating. Do you watch TV or work on the computer while you are eating? Are you driving your car while you are eating? These distractions take away the focus from your meal, which can cause you to overeat without you even realizing it. •Be mindful about condiments and additives to your foods and beverages. Frequently we add items to food without tasting it first, or we add condiments to foods out of habit. Try foods without the “add-ons” and begin focusing on tasting the actual food or beverage by itself. Many of us think like Mark Twain when it comes to a healthy lifestyle, “The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don’t want, drink what you don’t like and do what you’d rather not.” Too often we focus on the negatives. The real joy and benefit of good health comes from focusing on the positives of health and all that we can gain through living well. ----Beth Young is a Registered Dietitian and is an instructor in the Food and Nutrition Department at the University of Southern Indiana.

From the drive-thru to fine dining
Newburgh’s newest restaurant has modest roots in the area. NW Chophouse and Wine Bar opened in June at its location at 7799 W. S.R. 66. However, what some people may not know is that executive chef and owner Nick Weisenborn recently operated Steak and Take Grill on S.R. 261, a one-man restaurant that offered gourmet meals on the go. “I was maxed out there,” he said. “The potential was filled unless I wanted to go and open up five more Steak and Takes.” Weisenborn has taken that same care for his cuisine and transplanted into a sit down restaurant, equipped with a full bar, modern atmosphere and seating that can be reserved for intimate special occasions. Weisenborn’s cooking includes a variety of classic and contemporary techniques. He previously worked at The Library in Myrtle Beach, S.C., Charlie Gitto’s in St. Louis, Madeline’s and Firefly Southern Grill, both in Evansville. Prior to his time as a chef, Weisenborn was a pilot for Vision airlines. NW Chophouse offers an array of lunch and dinner

entrees, which include blackened shrimp mac and cheese, baked penne stromboli, chicken mushroom linguine, tequila and lime chicken, jumbo lump crab cakes, salmon and lamb, as well as an assortment of beef, such as char-grilled filets, bonein rib eye, the NW signature steak, and veal. “The food is the same style, only stepped up a level,” Weisenborn said. “All the beef is aged, all-natural product — no hormones, no injections.” NW Chophouse also features duck and other game from time to time. NW Chophouse has fresh seafood delivered and is now butchering beef and lamb in the restaurant. “It allows me to buy a higher quality product and still keep the price modest,” he said. “I’m selling high quality product.” He added that he also has a robust wine and bourbon selection. Weisenborn said he lost some business during his transition from Steak and Take Grill to NW Chophouse because people thought that he had closed. He said that only his “regulars” that followed his career and progress knew where to find him. But now the word has spread that Weisenborn is still cooking and he said business is better than ever. “We are packed every night,” he said. With a full size restaurant, Weisenborn has gone from a oneman operation to a fully-staffed restaurant. For Weisenborn, taking Steak and Take and transforming it into NW Chophouse was always in the cards. “Whenever I first opened up... I’m going to have Steak and Take for two years and then I’m going to open a restaurant,” he said. “And in two years I opened a restaurant. Everything kind of fell into play. That was really wishful thinking two years ago. It just happened to happen.” NW Chophouse is located at the intersection of S.R. 66 and S.R. 261 in Newburgh. The restaurant is open 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, with a brunch on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more information or to make a reservation, call 812-8539500 or visit the Web at www.nwchophouse.com.

Ghost Walks and Zombie Farm cover the spectrum from scary to interesting
Fall in Newburgh can be scary. Or not. What Historic Newburgh, Inc.’s annual Ghost Walks lacks in terrified screams the Newburgh Civitan Zombie Farm makes up for. The Ghost Walks isn’t designed to be “inyour-face” scary. The tales told on the tours may not be completely true, but they’re all anchored in fact and history. Many of the stories are passed down through generations of owners. Greg Tuck is the chairman of the Ghost Walks. He is fairly new to the area and said this was a fun event for him to get involved with. Some of the people involved — everyone from the guides to the ghosts — have been with the Ghost Walks for 20 years or more. Tuck said that he believes people come back year after year because there’s always something a little different. At the other end of the spectrum is the Newburgh Civitan Zombie Farm. For 40 years, the annual haunted house has drawn in thousands of visitors and has won numerous awards from Civitan International for the joint fundraiser between Junior Civitan and Senior Civitan. Newburgh Civitan moved several years ago to its current location — on Vann Road two miles east of Castle High School. The building is owned by the local junior group, an oddity in the world of Civitan. Mark Fischer, who has been involved in the haunted house for more than 30 years, 34

A long time in the making Castle High School, and more importantly the tennis teams, received good news a couple of months ago. The Warrick County School Corporation and Assistant Superintendent Todd Armstrong signed off on Castle getting new tennis courts. “The courts had been cracking from water build up,” Armstrong said. “Castle had been tolerating it for years.” “It was unexpected,” Castle’s boys tennis coach, Craig Bottorf said. Armstrong said as he began looking at possible projects and money available, the two matched up perfectly. After getting quotes from contractors, “We got the right prices,” Armstrong said. By the time the project is finished, Castle will have completely brand new tennis courts. The old fencing has been removed and the tennis courts have been torn up. After ripping up the old courts, Armstrong said the water issues causing many of the problems was fixed. After the new tennis 42

courts are layed, Armstrong said they will be painted blue and green, similar to the U.S Open. The lighting is also receiving needed attention. “We are adding a time system on the current lights that will allow night play,” Armstrong said. “Previously, public access was limited to daylight.” When Armstrong was able to get quotes back from contractors, he had one last thing to do. “I met with the tennis coaches,” Armstrong said. “I told them I can’t guarantee it will be done before the season starts.” That wasn’t a problem for Castle’s boys tennis coach Craig Bottorf. “It needed done regardless,” Bottorf said. “It was in bad shape and needed replaced.” Luckily for Castle, Bottorf said Boonville High School was very helpful and told them they could use their courts for practice. “We’ve been doing conditioning on the track,” Bottorf said, “and we’ll practice at Boonville. They have the same number of courts and were very nice to let us use their courts.” From start to finish, Armstrong said the project will cost just south of $275,000. The majority of the work was contracted out to Metzger Construction for $202,000 thousand. Tri-State Fence Co. removed the old fence and installed a new fence for $38,000. Fromuth Sports Equipment was paid $4,000. The Warrick County School Corporation Maintenance Department worked on the lights, with the county paying for time and material. Ideally, Armstrong said the new courts will be able to hold up for 20 years with minor resurfacing every so often.

Warrick County’s solution to household hazardous waste For more than 20 years, Alcoa Warrick Operations has hosted a twice-annual Household Hazardous Waste Day in partnership with the Warrick County Solid Waste Management District. This provides Warrick County residents and Alcoa employees an opportunity to properly dispose of unwanted and unused household chemicals and other materials, such as paints, medications and batteries. Over the years, there has been a steady increase in participation, which indicates that Warrick County residents are becoming more aware of the importance of preserving the integrity of the land. Since 2002, the event has hosted 15,000 participants and diverted more than two million pounds of hazardous waste from local landfills. The demand is high for this event. The Environmental Protection Agency is continually strengthening rules on what landfills can accept. So these collection events allow homeowners to easily comply with regulation, which are meant to keep some materials out of landfills. On Saturday, Oct. 12 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., Alcoa will be hosting another event. These events take place in the outer parking lot at Alcoa. The event is intended for households only — no businesses. Some of the items accepted are:
•paint and solvents, •aerosols, •brake fluids, •household chemicals, •transmission fluids, •herbicides/pesticides, •used oil, •mercury containing products •used electronics, •antifreeze, •pool chemicals •propane tanks •gasoline •expired medications •batteries (all types), •various sizes of fluorescent bulbs and •cell phones. Alcoa Warrick Operations and the Warrick County Solid Waste Management District wish to thank everyone for their help in diverting millions of pounds of hazardous waste from the environment. It is only through the efforts of all that we can continue to make the planet a cleaner place for future generations. ----Denise Shreve-Sandefur is the Waste Coordinator at Alcoa Warrick Operations.
