Lawrence Central High School gained a new wrestling coach last week.

Wes Gibson, 34, said he’s not nervous, but excited.

Gibson, an eighth grade U.S. History teacher at Belzer Middle School, was the assistant coach at Lawrence Central High School for three years, and coached at Perry Meridian High School previ-ous to that, helping lead the team to IHSAA state champion-ships in 2011 and 2012.

“I’ve been around some of the greatest coaches from Indiana, they have tutored me well enough to take this head position,” Gibson said.

Gibson wrestled in high school himself at Beech Grove. He continued that into college, where he attended the University of South Carolina in Greensborough.

One major change Gibson hopes to implement is creating a better structure for kids to make the transition from elementary school wrestling to middle and high school.

Car shows are a great way to bring people together to appreciate the marvel of the automobile, but also a great way to raise funds for a good

cause. Coming to the Geist area on July 11, Cars for Kids is a car show debuting its first ever event.

The show aims to raise money for a local church youth, as well as for Indiana Life Centers, which provide aid to expecting mothers in need of assistance.

“This car show is the first one for our church and basically it’s a dual fundraiser,” Ken Gardner, event coordinator for Cars for Kids said. “It’s for the Geist Chapel youth and also for the Life Cen-ters of Indiana.”

The show aims to get around 50 cars for its first event and welcomes cars from all categories.

“We’ve kind of opened it up to anything,” Gardner said. “You might see a late-model Jag-uar, back to a Model T. We’ve been soliciting cars through flyers at other car shows. At our first car show we’re hoping to get close to 50 cars. If we get more than that we’ll be thrilled.”

The event will feature, food trucks, music,

prizes and trophies for the top cars.“We’ll have 60’s to 70’s music,” said Gardner.

“My wife was a professional singer and she’s going to head that portion for us. We’ve had donated what we call ‘goody bags.’ We’re doing dash plaques and trophies. Dash plaques for the first 50 cars and then we’ll do ‘Best of Show’ and ‘Top 25’ trophies.”

The show will be held at 12549 Old Stone Dr., Indianapolis. Registration is from 10 a.m. to noon. Judging will take place at 3 p.m. and awards will be presented at 4 p.m. Car registra-tion is $15. The first 50 entrants will receive a commemorative dash plaque. For more informa-tion, please contact [email protected].

through an outreach program called “Har-mony.” Although he said he has been teaching elementary kids for as long as he can remem-ber, his favorite age group to teach is the tran-sition period between middle and high school.

“I think that’s where you can do the most,” Gibson said, “but starting off with elementary kids and creating lifelong relationships with those kids is really important to me as well.”

Gibson said wrestling is different from other sports because of the individual aspect to it.

“The way (wrestling) inserts individual and team discipline is my favorite part of the sport,” Gibson said. “It teaches a lot of discipline in ar-eas that other sports can’t teach. If you lose or win, blame is on yourself instead of the team; it is focused on you and your abilities to physically and mentally overcome things.”

Commentary by Michael VandenBerg

What do you do when life takes your dreams,.

How do you approach those unscripted, terrifying mo-

ments with grace? A story I heard some time back, told to the losing side of a championship college matchup seems to offer perspective.

“Wishing to encourage her young son’s progress in the piano, a mother took her boy to a Paderewski concert. After they were seated, the mother spotted a friend in the audience and walked down to greet her. Tak-ing the opportunity to explore the wonders of the concert hall, the little boy rose and even-tually explored his way through a door marked No Admittance. The house lights dimmed and the concert was about to begin. The mother returned to her seat and discovered the child was missing. Suddenly, the curtains parted and spotlights focused on the impressive Steinway on stage. In horror, the mother saw her little boy at the keyboard, innocently pick-ing out “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.” The great piano master made his entrance and quickly moved to the piano and whispered in the boy’s ear, ‘Don’t quit, keep playing’.

A Mt. Vernon High School athletics website has been named one of the highest ranking out of 900 sites hosted by Varsity News Network.

MaruadersAthletics.com ranked 40th nation-wide with 20,420 page views for the month of April. The site also ranked 7th in the state of

Indiana, beating schools such as Westfield, North Central and Bloomington North High School,

as well as all county and Hoosier Heritage Con-ference Varsity News Network sites.

MaruadersAthletics.com tracks Mt. Vernon’s high school and middle school athletics teams, integrating with Varsity News Network for automatic updates on schedules, game results and school resources for applying students.

One primary benefit of a high ranking is ad-ditional sponsorship funding, said Maria Bond, communications director for Mt. Vernon Com-munity School Corporation.

“It will become a fundraiser for the athletic subsidy program, which helps students afford the pay-to-play fees,” Bond said. “We’re work-ing on promoting it into the community and letting them know the impact they’ve made by viewing it and using it as a resource. By view-

“Leaning over, Paderewski reached down with his left hand and began filling in the bass part..”

Whatever our situation in life and history, however outrageous, however desperate, whatever dry spell of the spirit, whatever dark night of the soul, God is whispering deep within our being: “Don’t quit, keep playing, you aren’t alone. Together ... we will mesmerize the world with a song of peace.” “And I will be with you always, even to the ends of the earth.” It is only in God’s care and love that life goes on in those difficult, confusing and mayhem moments. Harmony of life is achieved by God playing the left hand part, and us play-ing the right. We are not the master, but the student of life, so learn your lessons well.

ing pages they are in turn helping the student athletes.”

Initial funds will be allocated to pay off the cost of developing the website, then transition-ing into student financial assistance.

“When we talked about moving to (Varsity News Network), that was our hope,” Athletic Director Greg Roach said. “Not just to get info to people in an easier fashion but also raise more money for our school, so it’s very satisfy-ing to know where our numbers are and that we’re ranked so highly.”

Roach believes many students can benefit

from the increased funding.“Several of our athletes fall under those cat-

egories and definitely get help with their pay-to-participate fees,” Roach said. “We started participation fees four years ago and we had the subsidies in place, but it was a struggle at times to find sponsorships and things like that to be able to fund it the way we wanted to.”

Other changes will be heading to Mt. Ver-non’s athletics program in the coming months, including a new athletics director on August 1.

Many of the members say that once you paddle, you’re instantly addicted. They are

talking about the Indy Surviveoars — a non-profit dragon boat racing

team that practices on Geist Reservoir and competes in up to four races each year from April through October. Started by breast can-cer survivors, the team now includes other members called the SupportOars.

Vice president Elaine Shea joined the team in 2009 after being diagnosed and treated for breast cancer. A friend recommended it to her while she was completing radiation treatment, and she decided to try it even though she had never heard of dragon boat racing before. “It brings you a sense of normalcy and accom-plishment. The other thing that is really unique for women is finding any sort of activity or sport where you’re part of a team,” Shea said. “It’s not a kumbaya support group. The team works in different ways. If you think about what feels really good and energizing, it’s about accomplishing something. The women feel accomplished when they learn the boat-ing skills and do well.”

Breast cancer dragon boat racing has been around for nearly 20 years. Canadian sports physician, Don McKenzie, M.D., believed that repetitive motion would improve the quality of life for breast cancer patients. He launched Abreast in a Boat in 1996 to research and test his theory. Subsequent research has proven that the physical activity does indeed produce a positive impact, possibly even improving

ABOUT ELAINE SHEA:

Beating the odds

overall survival rates. The team’s mission is to help provide breast

cancer survivors with a strong message of hope, inspiration and encouragement. Shea said that the team’s goal for the international competitions is to place in the top half, and that goal has been achieved. Some members paddle even during active battles with cancer, but such activity is not possible for everyone. The team also spends time together socially so that everyone is included. Fundraising events during the year support the team financially and cover racing costs for mem-bers who are unable to afford them. Extra funds are poured into the team’s community outreach efforts. Shea expressed a deep grati-tude for the team’s sponsors, one of which is Geist Marina — where their boat and equip-ment are stored.

The boat is difficult to miss when the team is spotted practicing on Geist. The Indy Surviveoars boat is the first pink dragon boat produced by long-time boat manufacturer,

Swift Dragon Boats of China. When full, the boat carries 20 paddlers, a drummer, and a steer oarsperson. Shea spoke about the reac-tions they see from people on the water as they practice. “It’s a lot of smiling and waving, or tooting their boat. Occasionally if we are close enough, we’ll see someone coming out on their patio early on Saturday morning. It’s very supportive.”

The group receives support in other ways as well. “Originally, we didn’t even have enough folks to fill the boat on a consistent basis. Sometimes friends would come along to support and paddle with us.” Shea said. These friends and family members have become known as SupportOars, some of which even serve on the board of directors.

Secretary Shari Worrell is one such mem-ber, and joined with a friend who had been diagnosed with breast cancer. “It was really amazing to watch her. The time that I thought she’d be really fearful and worried about her health, instead it was the first time in her life

she felt like an athlete and part of a team.” Worrell said. Affected deeply by a family his-tory of breast and other cancers, Worrell finds comfort and inspiration within the group. “I just think it’s a great floating support group and they inspire me everyday to be the best that I can.”

Chris Botti, fresh off the Palladium stage, prepares to sign CD autographs for his fans that came. 

Since the release of his 2004 critically acclaimed CD, “When I Fall In Love”, Chris Botti has become the largest-selling American instrumental art-ist. His success has crossed over to audiences usually reserved for pop music and his ongoing association with PBS has led to four No. 1 jazz albums, as well as multiple gold, platinum and Grammy Awards. Performing worldwide and sell-ing more than four million albums, he has found a form of creative expression that begins in jazz and expands the limits of any single genre. ‘Where’s Amy?’ and fans of all ages had the unique opportunity to have Chris Botti sign his CDs after his concert at The Center for the Performing Arts. Fans were ecstatic and anxiously awaited their chance to meet Botti.

Marcia and Emily Roberts of Carmel said they love Current in Carmel, The Palladium and their new Chris Botti autographed CD.

I was jamming and dancing to my favorite local band, "Dave and Rae," at Bella Vita restaurant on Geist. The fabulous Lisa Rae has a powerful voice that demands attention. She always thrills her loyal fans with an energetic and electrifying vibe that is contagious. Dave Edmonds plays many musical instruments with charm and pizzaz! Together this dynamite duo team knows how to win over the crowd and every concert is better than the last. Rock ‘n’ roll mixed with high energy. Play-ing music from the ‘70s to today. They will keep rocking Geist throughout June, and mark your ca-landars for July 14 when Dave and Rae will rock out the Fishers Summer Band Series. Check out their website for upcoming concerts: daveandrae.com.

Relaxing after their shifts as dialysis nurse manag-ers, Amy Weston, McCordsville, Jessica Carr, Fishers, and Brenda Ship, of Carmel, enjoy relaxing to the sounds of the Dave and Rae band.

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

My wife informed me the other day that she was top heavy. “I have to be honest,” I told her, “but I never noticed this.”

“That’s because you are a man,” she said.Mary Ellen came to this con-

clusion not by looking in the mir-ror, but by looking in the kitchen

cabinets. “You wouldn’t have known about this problem,” continued Mary Ellen, “because men never look inside pantries.”

Things were getting weird, even for me.

Mary Ellen’s revelation about being top heavy came about when we decided to redo our kitchen. By the way, I think that “redo” is the wrong word. If you are redoing something, that means you did it once before. (A woman sometimes gets a hairdo, but it’s really a hair redo.) I have no memory of ever doing our kitchen. We moved in 20 years ago … and there it was. We haven’t done another thing to it since 1992, except replace the toaster. Now, apparently, we are redoing it. 

Waiting for the construction crew to arrive, Mary Ellen cleaned out the cupboards. That’s

Topless Tupperwarewhen she discovered she had more tops to our Tupperware than the actual containers. Would she have mentioned it if she were bot-tom heavy? She took the 15 extra tops and put them in a box to store away. “Why are we saving those tops?” I asked.

“Well that’s an odd question from a man who has 12 single socks in his top drawer. Why don’t you throw those away?”

“Because when I do the wash, some socks disappear … but then old ones seem to show up. I need back-ups or, I’d be fresh out in a month.”

Later that night, I ac-cidentally threw out all

the lids. Even the matched ones.“Well, great, Dick. Now we’re topless,” said

Mary Ellen.I guess that’s one way to spice up a

Tupperware party.(For a full version of this article, go to cur-

rentinwestfield.com)

Later that night, I accidentally threw out all the lids.

Even the matched ones.

Along came the news last week of an economic development group’s possible creation in an effort to grab state dollars (your tax money, folks) to float Phase I of an electric-bus, rapid-transit line. Here we go again. The idea is to create a regional devel-opment authority among Carmel, Westfield, Indianapolis and Greenwood. We get the idea, and we believe it could work. What we don’t get is the need for government to fund it and operate it, because that’s what would even-tually transpire. Might we commend to your attention Amtrak? When has it ever turned a penny of profit? Closer to home, please take a look at the financial disaster that is IndyGo. No, no a thousand times no. The officials involved are well-meaning folks, we believe, but there is a better way: the private sector. For one, it likely would be run as a profitable business free from burdensome union under-tones, and for another it wouldn’t be akin to a tax phlebotomy every time the coffers got mowed down. How financially fitting. Priva-tize it, people, and enjoy the ride.

• • •Moles last week said the long-suffering

Transportation Security Administration is nothing more than a government creation hindered by a philosophy of “fear and dis-trust.” That’s all well and good. What shook us was this, according to Fox News: “A sec-ond report released … showed the agency failed to flag 73 commercial airport workers ‘linked to terrorism.’” More: “Washington hasn’t leveled with the American people,” Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) said. “And (the De-partment of Homeland Security) is treating this like a PR crisis instead of a homeland security threat.” Of course.

Doo and I recently held a family meeting to hammer out the details for a homicide-free summer. Our four children were invited to

share their thoughts, and as expected, the biggest sticking point was over the Xbox. Our

boys argued that since it’s summer, they should be able to do whatever they want, including wasting weeks at a time sniping virtual zombies. We felt it might lead to serial killer status. Decision? Two hours max a day. Suck it, kids!

Another bone of contention was television. Again, our two boys spearheaded the debate. Essentially they felt that if they couldn’t watch at least a half-day’s worth of “Family Guy,” they would never know true happiness. We rebutted with something called a “book.” Bottom line? One hour a day, plus they have to participate in the library’s reading pro-gram. I’ll certainly take the free ice cream if they don’t want it.

Also in the plan, the reinstatement of the “I’m Bored” jar, a repository for the dollar fines handed out to anyone muttering any derivative of the word “boring.” Proceeds will go to an end-of-summer Dairy Queen bonanza, and to prevent a Bud Light Jar phenomenon, the perp will be assigned some degrading task, like scrubbing the basement toilet. Don’t mess with Mom!

And once again, to further enhance this summer’s salt mine experience, “Amish Day” will occur weekly. It was proposed unwit-tingly three years ago by our then 10-year-old son who, at the aforementioned decision to limit electronic interaction, cried “I’m not go-ing all Amish!” Should have kept your mouth shut Andrew, for you will indeed go Amish. No video games, computers or television for one whole day. They must use their imagina-tions and find old-fashioned forms of amuse-ment. It may not work, but their discomfort should prove highly entertaining. Moi-ha-ha!

So the chore chart is up and rockin’, and the forced family game night schedule (“You will have fun, damn it!”) is in full swing. We’re keeping our fingers crossed that our care-ful planning will result in a blissful summer vacation. And good luck to you, my friends! Peace out.

Hashing out the summer agenda

hUMOr

Commentary by Terry Anker

Without fanfare Army Sargent Bowe Bergdahl, the much ballyhooed soldier swapped by the United States for several hardened terrorist prisoners, was recently charged with desertion. This came as no surprise to those in his unit who believed the young man had voluntarily become a “captive” of the Taliban. It seems his five-year stint with the other side made him a bit homesick. And, our ruling class youngsters in the White House also were infected with a bit of hubris that they now likely regret.

Why didn’t the administration speak to anyone from this man’s unit? Basic due diligence could have prevented this unfor-tunate situation. We could have applied our resources to “rescue” someone a bit more deserving of our attentions. Among the scores beheaded, burned and otherwise mutilated by the Islamic extremist com-munity, in all of its various iterations, might

Butler University graduate Peter Kassig have survived if benefited by the White House’s focused attention that instead found its way to the erstwhile Bergdahl?

If one presumes that the failure of deci-sion making in the Bergdahl exchange was precipitated by naiveté and not a willful disregard of clear warnings, the example points to the mistaken hubris of taking action simply because one can and not because one should.

For the time being, Bergdahl remains presumed innocent of the charges against him. It is only human to rejoice for his fam-ily, knowing that in spite of challenges to come, he is safe from brutal mutilation and death. Even if justice is blind, shouldn’t judgement keep its eyes open?

“It feels like I’m trying to take all this pain and sorrow and turn it into something beautiful.”

– Gregory Hancock

Two decades and countless hours now brings ‘La Casa Azul’ to life

By Anna Skinner • [email protected]

Gregory Hancock’s product of almost 20 years of work is finally coming to life.

“La Casa Azul” is a musical that is com-pletely sung through.

Lyrics, choreography, costumes and music were all done by Hancock.

The musical explores the life and work of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo.

Hancock said this production has taken months to plan and create.

“It is a once in a lifetime opportunity,” Han-cock said. “We don’t debut musicals in Indiana very often, if ever, on this kind of a scale. It’s going to be a great production and it involves art, music, history, culture, spirituality, dance and theater. It’s really encompassing of a lot of things so it has a wide appeal to a lot of people.”

Recently, the Gregory Hancock Dance The-atre produced “Superhero: The story of a man called Jesus,” “The Hunchback of Notre Dame,” “Joan of Ark” and more. However, “La Casa Azul” is more of Hancock’s own project, not the dance company’s.

“As Gregory mentioned, musicals don’t hap-pen every day and new musicals are a rare thing, and for it to happen in Indiana, this is very news worthy,” said Dheepa Maturi, a member of the board of directors. “People might not get a chance to see something like this again in their lifetime. I think they should come and experience what it is. All of Grego-ry’s productions are very lush and beautiful, and people are able to immerse themselves in this different space and time.”

Hancock and Maturi encourage anyone in the city with even a passing interest in the arts to come and see the show, because they said there will be something for everyone in-stigated in the production.

“It’s like seeing your vision come to life,”

Hancock said. “For me it’s become very per-sonal, I’ve had a challenging 16 months and it’s taken on a very personal aspect for me of why I need to do this as something I sort of have to do for me and my family.”

Hancock recently battled cancer, lost a kid-ney, won his battle with cancer, lost a friend and a neighbor in a murder-suicide and then lost his mother in September, a person he said who was extremely involved in his work.

“Sometimes when things like that happen to you, you have a different reason for want-ing to do things and needing to accomplish things. You want to leave something durable. I want the legacy of my mother and my family to perpetuate that,” he said.

There are some parallels happening be-tween Hancock’s challenges and pain that mirrors what Frida Kahlo’s life was about.

“She went through such terrible tragedies and tried to overcome so many things, yet in the end there’s this beautiful art that she was able to produce and I am very confident that this is what Gregory is doing,” Maturi said. “The result is going to be gorgeous.”

“It feels like I’m trying to take all this pain and sorrow and turn it into something beauti-ful,” Hancock said.

There are dancers, actors, singers and musicians on stage to help bring the show together.

“La Casa Azul” will be performed at the Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts, June 25-28. It will be performed at 7 p.m. on the evenings and 3 p.m. on Sunday.

They are expecting more than 2,000 people to be in attendance of the show.

June is Cataract Awareness month. Many people mistakenly think a cataract is a film

on your eye. It is actually a clouding of the lens inside your eye. This is something

that happens over time in most cases but also can be present at birth. Currently there are 20 million people in the United States with cataracts and it is the most common cause of vision loss in people over 40 and the primary cause of blindness in the world.

Symptoms of cataracts may not be obvi-ous when they are beginning. But as they progress you may experience more glare from headlights or lamps. You may see halos around light posts. You may also feel your windshield or glasses are dirty but cleaning them doesn’t help.

There are several things that can contribute to the development of cataracts. Your lens is made of mostly of protein and water. As we age the proteins begin to clump together and form a cloud in the lens. Also, a lifetime expo-sure to ultraviolet light from the sun causes a yellowing of the lens which is another form of cataract.

There are things we can do to help prevent them. First avoid or protect yourself from the causes of cataracts. Also, some studies have shown that certain nutrients may reduce cataract risk. Those would be antioxidants like

Vitamin C and foods containing Omega-3 fatty acids. Vitamin E, lutein and zeaxanthin may also be helpful. Foods rich in Vitamin E include almonds, spinach and sunflower seeds. Foods rich in lutein and zeaxanthin include spinach, kale and other leafy vegetables.

If you think you may have symptoms of cataracts please have your eyes evaluated by you eye doctor.

Commentary by Jordan Fischer

Question: “Mr. Fischer, you may have heard about Jeb Bush’s run-in with a college student

this week who seemed to be grammatically challenged. Perhaps

your column could deal with the proper use of the word ‘pedantic’ when berating a politician. Love your column. You rain! I mean, reign.” (John Reichmann, Westfield)

Answer: You know, John, people might say this column is a sterling example of pedantry in its own right. That being said: Onto Mr. Bush’s run-in with Ms. Ivy Ziedrich.

A little bit of background, courtesy of the New York Times’ Michael Barbaro: Jeb Bush had just finished a town hall meeting at the Uni-versity of Nevada when 19-year-old Ivy Ziedrich asked him if he would take a student question.

She then proceeded to, as John puts it, “berate” Bush about how his brother’s presidential policies had, in her view, directly contributed to the rise of the Islamic State, concluding her statement by saying, “Your brother created ISIS.”

Bush responded with, “All right. Is that a question?” At which point Ziedrich suggested he was being pedantic.

grAMMAr gUY

On being ‘pedantic’

Jordan Fischer is a contributing columnist for Current Publish-ing. To ask Jordan a grammar question, write him at [email protected].

So, was he?Pedantry is an “excessive concern with

minor details and rules” or an “excessive or inappropriate display of learning.”

Politicians frequently resort to pedantry to avoid tough questions – attacking the form of a question, rather than answering it directly. Probably the best example of political pedant-ry is former President Bill Clinton’s infamous “it depends upon what the definition of ‘is,’ is,” statement.

On the other hand, as anyone who has ever been to a city council meeting can tell you, many people are looking to turn a question-and-answer opportunity into a diatribe against whatever it is they’ve decided needs yelling about.

The bottom line here is, if you want a poli-tician to answer your question, it needs to be formed thus, and not as exposition. And, while I’m confident Mr. Bush has been plenty pedantic in the past, it does not seem like his comments fit the definition here.

Commentary by Randy Sorrell

Consumer confidence is very strong and our suppliers are struggling to meet demand.

Oddly, there is a national shortage of respectable size trees and shrubs as a

result of growers’ reluctance to spend heavily on planting seedlings during the recession. Homebuilders are smiling again and breaking ground on additions regularly. It’s an exciting time to be in business and the ugly econom-ics of a few years ago are a distant memory. Although, the lessons are still fresh.

SECOND CHAPTERA fair amount of the demand is driven by curi-

ous homeowners wondering whether to move or to update. Many are past clients where we accomplished a major renovation that they love. But they are wondering if they should give their home another round of updates. Or not. Sort of like the next chapter in the life of their home.

What about you? Is your outdoor living space ready for the next chapter or phase? Phasing is a brilliant strategy … completing

phase one now and implementing additional phases as budgets and appetites merge. Chapter two has a different purpose than that. An incredible outdoor living space already exists and the thrilled family is wondering if there is more. And, of course, there is.

MATURING LIFESTYLESMaterials and styles have changed. Our

interests and lifestyles change too as we have children, kids move on to college or get married. Grilling out becomes more compelling and escaping from the sun imperative.

Thus, the perennial debate: to update or to move. We all have our own criteria to mea-sure. ROI, walkabilitly, the hassle of moving, opening up the interior floor plan, renovated bathroom/kitchen, solid outdoor roof struc-ture, outdoor fireplace and the list goes on.

Is your home ready for chapter two?

Commentary by Bob Wasson

There are no marching bands, no fireworks displays and nobody is dancing in the streets.

Nevertheless, there is an extraordinarily important – albeit quiet – global

celebration taking place this year. Welcome to the 2015 International Year

of Soils! The goal is to raise the awareness and promote the sustainability of our limited soil resources. And you are invited to join in the celebration.

As your backyard garden would attest, soil is the basis for healthy food produc-tion. It also provides us with plants we use for feed, fiber, fuel and medicine. But it is a nonrenewable resource, and so we need to make sure we take care of it.

Here are four easy things you can do to take better care of the soil in your yard and garden:

• Avoid working in your garden when it’s wet. When soil is compacted, it becomes a solid, bricklike mass that is much less productive.

• Try to keep an even supply of water throughout your garden. Regular wa-tering and mulching can help.

• Cut back on herbicides and pesticides whenever possible. They can seri-ously alter the chemistry, structure and nutritional content of your garden soil.

• Learn how to make and use organic fertilizers. Compost is an excellent source of organic matter and is both easy and inexpensive to produce.

Maintaining healthy soil is fundamental to good gardening, and it is not hard to do. If you need assistance with landscaping, soil improvement, erosion or any other question, the professionals at your neighborhood nurs-ery or garden center will be happy to help.

Let the celebration of the 2015 Interna-tional Year of Soils begin!

At the Affordable Companies, we’ve often talked about why cabinetry design is so inte-

gral to the overall look of your kitchen; cabinets take up a lot of space.

As a result, a new, space-saving kitchen trend is steering homeowners away from overload-ing on cabinetry in favor of new, creative stor-age solutions. Many designers are reducing the number of upper cabinets, and some are eliminating them altogether. What can you do with that extra wall space in your kitchen? And how can you still have enough storage in the kitchen without upper cabinets? Read on and discover for yourself a few fresh ideas that you may want to work in to your next kitchen remodel project.

The biggest benefit to streamlining your cabinetry design is increased space. Reducing the number of upper cabinets increases the vertical space available in your kitchen. The extra wall space is yours to design as you see fit. Instead of cabinetry you can use the extra space to install new windows or expand your existing ones. Enjoy the extra sunshine while cooking, cleaning and entertaining. And the fact that increased light makes rooms looks more spacious is just an added bonus. The extra vertical space could also be used to dis-play artwork or decorative elements that add a wow factor to your kitchen. Breaking from tradition will make your home appear unique and contemporary and will surely make an impression on your guests. 

It’s true; fewer upper cabinets could mean decreased storage space if you don’t replace the cabinets with any extra form of storage. And less storage could even lead to one of modern home design’s biggest enemies: clut-ter. Clutter is distracting and causes a loss of

functionality in the room, which is something no one wants.

The innovative thing about using less upper cabinetry is that it can allow you to incorpo-rate more creative storage options that may end up being a better use of space. For ex-ample you can try:

Freestanding furniture pieces such as cupboards or bookshelves can boost storage while also creating a unique focal point in the room.

Add a window seat complete with built-in storage to house rarely used things like small appliances or seasonal decorations.

Redesign the pantry to increase storage space. You could even do a remodel to create a new, larger, walk-in pantry if you’re up for some construction.
