ACTIvITY

By Pete Smith [email protected]

Even if you’ve lived in the Car-mel for years, chances are that in

your daily routine you’ve probably driven by some-

thing you’d think was pretty cool if you only took the time to stop and look.

That’s the whole purpose of the Tour de Carmel – get people together and take a leisurely ride through the many great places that make up the city.

“We just want to show people all the variety that Carmel has to offer,” said event supervisor Traci Broman.

In its ninth year, the event is put on by the Carmel Clay Parks and Recreation Dept. About 800 people rode in the event in 2012.

“It’s my favorite event of the year because it brings so many people together and it’s a lot of fun,” Broman said.

The tour will take place Sept. 14 and will start in the East Parking lot of the Monon Community Cen-ter at 1235 Central Park Dr. E.

“From there, people can choose between a 10-mile or 20-mile route,” Broman said.

They also can ride an adaptive route if they can’t pedal as far.

“We really want it to be a lei-surely route. This is definitely not a competition,” Broman said.

The 20-mile ride starts at 8 a.m., and the 10-mile begins at 8:30 a.m. Registration times are a half-hour before the ride starts.

“During the ride we’ll have three rest stops with live music, food and games,” Broman said.

No roads or intersections will be closed because of the event.

Riders will travel on sidewalks, and police will be present at ma-jor intersections to guide riders through, Broman said.

The cost to take part in the Tour

de Carmel is $8 and people can register the day of the event.

“This year, we’ve worked with the Carmel Historical Society to highlight some special places along the route that are significant to the city,” Broman said.

Broman said the Tour de Carmel would not be possible without volunteers.

“We usually have between 60 to 100 volunteers and we can always use more,” she said.

If you’d like to learn more about the tour, this year’s routes or how to volunteer, go to www.carmel-clayparks.com/be-active/events or call 848-7275.

City Council recapWhat happened: Ninth reading of proposed ordinance to amend path laws

What happened: Disagreements about removal of files from the Clerk-Treasurer’s office

What happened: A proposal was introduced to change how arts funding is distributed

What happened: An ordinance to rezone land

What happened: No consensus could be reached on PUD requirements

What it means: This ordinance has remained in the Parks, Recreation and Arts Com-mittee for several months. The ordinance’s sponsor, Councilor Ron Carter, said that the reason for the delay was the inability of City Attorney Doug Haney and Judge Brian Poind-exter to meet to resolved their differing interpretations of the ordinance.

What it means: In an Aug. 20 story, the Current reported that Clerk-Treasurer Diana Cordray had stated that boxes of CRC files were removed from her locked office without her knowl-edge or consent. At the opening of the council meeting, Cordray said that she wished to state publicly that she stands by her original statement and contested the mayor’s version of events, as well as his accusation that files have been lost by her office in the past. The mayor also maintained his position that the files were never in the clerk treasurer’s office.

What it means: Sponsored by councilors Rick Sharp, Eric Seidensticker and Luci Snyder, the ordinance would establish a performing arts council, governed by the Center for the Performing Arts and comprised entirely of Carmel citizens which would take over the responsibility of determining grant eligibility for performing arts organizations. (See story on Page 7)

What it means: A proposal to rezone1.45 acres on the north side of 98th Street from residential to commercial was approved.

What it means: The council’s disagreement with the plan commission continued on the proposed amendment to the planned unit development requirements.

What’s next: Waiting for interpretation on the law

What’s next: It’s up to the mayor and clerk-treasurer

What’s next: The pro-posal will be addressed in an upcoming finance and rules committee meeting.

What’s next: The action is complete

What’s next: It will be ad-dressed again in the Sept. 10 land use meeting.

Other News: All seven council members were in attendance at the meeting; however, Councilor Kevin “Woody” Rider had to leave early due to a conflict with a plan commission meeting. There was no report from CRC council appointee Dave Bowers. Sharp said that, per a phone conversation with Bowers, there was “nothing to report.”

The Carmel City Council wants to lay the groundwork for the establishment of a new

performing arts council, which would become the

governing body from which performing arts groups would receive city grants.

The measure was introduced at the Sept. 3 council meeting and is spon-sored by councilors Eric Seidensticker, Rick Sharp and Luci Snyder.

“Politics and personalities have no place in the arts,” said Snyder, referring to the drawn-out process by which local arts groups received their 2013 funds.

“Indianapolis has an arts council and it makes sense for us to do the same,” she said.

The proposal’s sponsors envision the Center for the Performing Arts board leadership becom-ing the governing body of the performing arts council. The new entity would be completely separate from the existing Carmel Arts Council, which focuses primarily on visual arts.

“The city council does not have the back-ground or the knowledge to decide which orga-nizations need funds, and the process by which the arts fund was distributed this year was messy to say the least,” Snyder said. “The Center for the Performing Arts has a couple of years under its belt now, and we need to make use of

them. We need to strengthen their position and let them be perceived as a presence in the arts world. They are the ones who understand what it takes to run an arts organization.”

What has not yet been determined is how the members of the performing arts council would be selected. The only caveat that has been established so far is that they will all have to be residents of Carmel.

The overall budget for arts funding still will be determined as a percentage of the city’s overall budget; traditionally it has been 1 percent, which translated

to about $700,000 in the 2013 budget. But the proposed plan might not circumvent

the root of the problem with this year’s arts funds distribution. The delay in funding was not caused by disagreement over the amount each arts organization would receive, but by the city council wanting clarification over specific items in the city’s budget in order to feel confident that the funds were actually there to be disbursed.

“If the council does not want to be involved in this process, then maybe we should go back to how we used to do it,” Mayor Jim Brainard said. “We used to have a dollar amount that was ap-propriated by the council, and then a mayoral-ap-pointed advisory committee distributed the funds, and we typically had it done by April. I believe this proposed process would place an unfair burden on the Center for the Performing Arts.”

Councilor Kevin “Woody” Rider announced at the Sept. 3 Carmel City Council meeting that

the council had reached a major-ity agreement to

use a bond to cover the full amount of the funding gap to cover the cost of the completion of Illinois Street.

In March the overall cost for the proj-ect was estimated at approximately $11 million and available funds earmarked for the project totaled $6.6 million, leaving a gap of approximately $4.4 million. As a result of changes which have since occurred in both the estimated cost of the project and reserves set aside to pay for it, the total amount to be bonded for the project could reach $5.5 to $6 million.

“We will bond only for the precise amount needed for the project; nothing more,” Council Finance Chair Luci Snyder said.

The first step in the project is the movement of utilities. The mayor and the city council have been in a stalemate since earlier this year as to how the work will be paid for.

At the city’s budget meetings in July, Council President Rick Sharp expressed frustration that the mayor had not yet authorized the preliminary work of moving utilities - work that must be completed by the county but be paid for by the city.

“I was not prepared to authorize or be-gin any work on utilities until the council had come to an agreement on how this work would be paid for in full,” Mayor Jim

Brainard said. “Now that I have a firm commitment from the council, we are ready to proceed.”

The approval for the utility work was granted at the city’s Sept. 4 Board of Works meeting.

Bids will be collected in November for the con-struction of the road and work will begin in the spring. The estimated goal for completion is the end of 2014.

Vote stalemate – The Hamilton County Council had to continue a motion to approve funding for Ivy Tech after a 3-3 vote on Sept. 4. Council member Steve Schwartz of Noblesville, who previously voted in favor of all Ivy Tech matters before the council, was absent from the meeting. Council members Brad Beaver, Jim Belden and Meredith Carter voted in favor of the interlocal agreement for an Ivy Tech campus in Hamilton County. Council members Paul Ayers, Amy Massillamany and Rick McKinney voted against it. The agreement requires a $11.9 million bond over 20 years by the county and a $3 million payment by the City of Noblesville. Attorney Michael Howard said the county plans to close on the building with Noblesville Schools by the end of the year. He said the district would then lease back the building for the remaining 2013-2014 school year at the interest costs. Ivy Tech would then take over the building next summer.The decision on the bond will be tabled to the council’s next meeting at 8:30 a.m. Sept. 11.

Vera Tyner Hinshaw, 88, died peacefully Sept. 1, 2013, at the Forum under the loving care of St. Vin-cent Hospice. She was a lifelong resident of Carmel. She was born April 11, 1925, in Nora, to Lora E. Tyner and Carrie L. Haverstick. Both parents were from Indiana pioneering families, some settling in Marion and Hamilton counties as early as the 1820s. She graduated from Carmel High School in 1942 and attended Butler University until she went to work at the Naval Ordnance Plant in Indianapolis. She wanted to be part of the World War II effort and was proud of her work helping make the top secret Norden bombsights. She married 2nd Lt. Charles Franklin Hinshaw of Carmel, and they had four children. In 1954 she was the first woman hired to work as a rural route mail carrier at the Carmel Post Office. After retiring in 1983, she wintered in Sarasota, Fla., enjoyed traveling and spending time with her family. She was well known for her beau-tiful flower gardens and loved giving friends and family starts from her plants. She was also well

known for her determination. In 1998 she prevailed in Hinshaw v. AT&T, as the lead plaintiff in a class-action lawsuit protecting rightful property owners of abandoned railway easements from companies illegally laying fiber-optic lines without permission or compensation to the landowners. Her name is recorded in class action law and is now well known across the country. She is survived by her four children, Les (Helen McLaughlin) Hinshaw of Cadillac, Mich., Tom (Kathy Frontz) Hinshaw of Indianapolis, Jeff (Marilyn Zook) Hinshaw of Fowler and Judy (Jim) Singleton of Indianapolis; 11 grand-children; and 14 great-grandchildren. The funeral was conducted Sept. 6 at Union Chapel Methodist Church in Indianapolis. She was buried at Union Chapel Cemetery. Memorial contributions may be made to Union Chapel Methodist Church, where five generations of family have been members. Online condolences may be made at www.bussellfamily funerals.com.

Brett Patrick Yunker, 23, of Fort Wayne, formerly of Carmel, died Aug. 25, 2013. He was born May 8, 1990, in Indianapolis, to David and Carolyn Heider Yunker. Brett attended Westfield and Carmel High Schools. He was most recently employed with Patriot Tire and Automotive in Fort Wayne. Brett was committed to serving his country in the U.S. Army National Guard. He was assigned to Company A, 113th Brigade Support Battalion, 76th Infantry Brigade as a Motor Transport Operator. Some of Brett’s decorations include the National Defense Service Medal, the Army Service Ribbon, the Expert Grenade Qualification Badge and the Marksman Rifle Qualification Badge. Brett loved life. He en-joyed playing soccer, video games and paintball.

On Sept. 14, Hoosier Salon will host its first Carmel exhibit in the Arts & Design District at

20 N. Range Line Rd. as part of the monthly Gallery Walk. Salon exhibits primarily have been hosted in Broad

Ripple, New Harmony and Wabash.The exhibit will feature several winners from

the last five years of Hoosier Salon annual exhib-its including Susan Mauck, Jerry Points and Susie Racles.

“The salon plans to show the best of the best and show the high quality of art that is associ-ated with the Hoosier Salon,” said Jerry Points, artist and owner of Eye on Art Gallery.

Hoosier Salon also is hosting its first Carmel exhibit to see what kind of foot traffic it receives and if anyone would make a purchase, said Don-nae Dole, the salon’s executive director.

“We are doing this before we make the deci-sion to move the Indianapolis gallery to the Car-mel Arts & Design District,” Dole said.

The location on Range Line Road would allow the salon to have room for an art gallery and additional space to have classes and other art-related events, even a paint-out in the area, Dole said.

Since 1925, Hoosier Salon Art Association has launched Indiana artists such as T.C. Steele, J. Ottis Adams and Will Vawter. The 300-member organization hosts art contests, workshops and

Mooncake fest honors Chinese community

SISTEr CITIES

By Chris Bavender • [email protected]

Music, dancing and a performance by concert pianist Lang Lang are among the highlights of

the Mooncake Festival in Carmel Sept. 14 and 19 that will celebrate the city’s

Chinese community. Carmel became sister cities with Xiangyang

City in China in June 2012.“One thing we wanted to do as part of our

mission as a sister city was to not only establish international understanding between the two cities but also promote better understanding of the Chinese culture in our community and to honor the Chinese in our city,” said Sandra Long, Carmel-Xiangyang Sister City committee chair.

The festival was first introduced as an official holiday in China at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty approximately 3,000 years ago.

Legend has it that at the time, 10 suns hung in the sky scorching the earth. A man shot down nine of the suns and saved the earth. In return, he was given a potion to make him immortal. However, his wife drank it, and she flew off into the heavens, landing on the moon to watch over her husband. Seeing her on the moon, the man brought out her favorite cakes and prayed for her blessing.

“We wanted to establish the first ever mooncake festival and we intend for it to be an ongoing annual event,” Long said. “We have 800

mooncakes ready for everyone because it is the tradition. We want people to come and celebrate with their families and friends and learn more about our sister city relationship.”

Mooncake Festival events will be from 6 to 9 p.m. Sept. 14 and will be coordinated with the Second Saturday Gallery Walk in the Arts and Design District.

A Sept. 19 VIP Reception in the Founders Room at the Palladium prior to the performance of Lang Lang is also planned. Members of the Chinese community will also be honored at the reception.

As the first month of school came to a close, two cases of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococ-cus Aureus, commonly called MRSA, were con-

firmed at Carmel High School. During the Labor Day weekend,

janitors disinfected locker rooms to eliminate traces of MRSA bacteria known to develop infections resistant to antiobiotics.

The condition appeared as a skin infection in two student athletes who received care from school athletic trainers affiliated with St.Vincent’s Sports Medicine. Trainers prescribed immediate treatment and recommended the school fog all locker rooms with a product de-signed to eliminate traces of MRSA.

“MRSA usually presents as a pimple,” Jonathan Schmidt, family physician at Priority Physicians in Indianapolis, said. “What differentiates it from a regular pimple is that MRSA usually will enlarge quickly, over hours.”

Schmidt said the infection presents with sur-rounding redness and possibly an abscess un-derneath the skin. “Usually the patient will have discomfort and feel something hard underneath the skin,” he said.

Mayo Clinic’s Website recommends monitor-ing minor skin problems such as pimples, insect bites, cuts and scrapes, especially in children. If an infection appears, the clinic recommends visiting a doctor and advises against treating

MRSA at home. Prevention measures such as fogging have

recently been adopted by hospitals, with nursing homes, clinics and schools considering following their lead.

“For environmental cleaning, there is still some debate about the best method,” said Schmidt. “The number one thing that parents and stu-dents need to do is wash their hands with soap and warm water.”

The Centers for Disease Control and Preven-tion Website also recommends using disinfec-tants to clean household surfaces.

“Those are all good precautions,” Schmidt agreed. “I can’t stress enough the importance of washing your hands with soap and warm water though. Regular hand washing can make a huge impact on the spreading of bacteria.”

“The most common mistake I see patients make is trying to pick at, or pop small pimples and sores,” Schmidt said. “This usually does not do any good and only breaks the skin barrier allowing bacteria to enter in the skin.”

City cites need for savings, fund protection and an unfunded EPA mandate as reasons for a new stormwater fee

Birth of a new utility

By Pete Smith • [email protected]

The City of Carmel is exploring the possibility of creating a new stormwater utility to collect an additional fee from property

owners. Discussions on the creation of the utility

still are in the preliminary stages, according to city councilor Luci Snyder, who said she would sponsor the proposal when it comes before the council sometime before the end of 2013.

The city has hired an outside engineering firm to guide it in creating the utility, Snyder said. And while the firm’s report on the issue hasn’t been finalized, initial indications are that the fee to residential property owners would raise utility bills by a flat $5 per month.

Commercial property owners would be assessed a variable monthly fee that would be determined by the amount of imper-vious surface on a property, which doesn’t allow rainwater to naturally drain into the earth, Snyder said.

The proposal stems from a desire to build up a rainy-day sav-ings fund to repair infrastructure, not to find an additional rev-enue source, Snyder said.

“It’s prudent at this stage in our development for us to think and plan for repairs and replacing aging infrastructure,” she said. “I know nobody likes to have anything on their tax bill go up.”

Mayor favors planMayor Jim Brainard said he is in favor of the stormwater util-

ity’s creation. He issued a statement saying, “Even with the new storm water utility fees, Carmel taxes and utilities will be some of the lowest of any city in Indiana and the U.S.”

The creation of the new stormwater utility largely will be administrative, Snyder said. No additional employees would be hired to administer fee collection as a result of the flat residen-tial rate, and assessment of commercial properties would be done through computerized GIS analysis.

If any new employee needed to be added due to the utility’s creation, it likely would be a person in the city’s GIS department, said City Engineer Mike McBride, whose department currently

The biggest question city officials are still ironing out before an ordinance is proposed is determining which measures are needed to ensure the collected funds are used only for upgrades and maintenance of the city’s stormwater infrastructure.

“This fund cannot be used for anything other than this,” Sny-der said, citing the fact that the cost of replacing infrastructure has become astronomical and that the city needs to build up some savings.

The issue initially arose because the city’s engineering depart-ment was using money for roads and highways to make emergency drainage repairs. When the city hoped to begin initial work to extend Illinois Street, the work had to be delayed as a result of diminished savings, Snyder said. The money had been spent to replace col-lapsed road culverts that threatened the safety of city roads.

The city was caught off guard, and it hopes the stormwater utility fees will prevent future surprises.

The utility’s creation is also part of the city’s efforts to keep up with EPA regulations regarding water quality.

Keep it cleanThe federal agency is seeking to clamp down on chemicals

that run off lawns and roadways and end up in nearby streams and rivers – two of the biggest concerns are E. coli bacteria and excess phosphorous from lawn treatments.

The city’s engineering department has been identifying im-paired waterways and working on ways to improve them for years, McBride said.

The problem stems from the unfunded nature of the EPA’s mandate – something a stormwater user fee could help remedy, McBride said.

He also noted that Indianapolis, Fishers, Noblesville and West-field all have created similar utilities in recent years to address this very issue.

“The cost of new federal regulations is huge and it is impor-tant we keep up with our infrastructure investments,” Brainard said in a statement.

And Snyder said that it’s also important from a growth standpoint.“Companies invest in communities that invest in themselves,”

she said.

It is our position that fast food workers striking in favor of wage increases should take an Economics 101 class. According to a Ball State University study released in April, Indi-ana’s average personal income lags more than a decade behind the income levels enjoyed by the nation as a whole. So why shouldn’t mini-mum wage workers protest for higher wages? Protesting is certainly within their first amend-ment rights.

Is it within their right to request a $15 an hour wage for cashier and fry cook positions once considered feeder jobs into the world of paid employment for teenagers and those who chose not to pursue higher education? Grant-ed, dealing with the public requires a great deal of patience and keeping up with the quick pace of restaurant life can be exhausting. However, the very virtues such as low cost meals that motivate the hurried, hungry public to take a spin through the drive-thru on their way home from work would soon disappear if employers nearly doubled the wages of its restaurant staff. Perhaps the protesters are waging their own plight for higher wages on behalf of all underpaid hourly workers regard-less if the task is flipping burgers or emptying bedpans. Someone deserves a break – the question is, just who?

It’s nearly that time of year again. The Carmel International Arts Festival, entering its 16th year, will run Sept. 28 and 29 in the Arts & Design District. This is an event for every-one, and dare we state here, well worth your time. Current is proud to be sponsoring it for the sixth year, and we’re eager, as many of you are, to see what Executive Director Rosemary Waters and her team of volunteers has cooked up for attendees. Long ago, this transitioned from a “just Carmel event” to one for the entire region - if not multiple states beyond. We know from our independent mar-ketplace research that the arts – all of them – are of strong interest to our readership, and it is for that reason that we’re bringing the festival to your attention. There will be more than 125 juried artists displaying wares in watercolor, oil, 2D, jewelry, photography, 3D, wood, sculpture and pottery, among other mediums. It’s high-end work by scores of professionals – and, thankfully, you won’t find sand art or finger-painting works, although there will be activities for “young artists.” This festival has been and still is free to at-tend, and last year more than 30,000 folks partook of the exhibits, shopping and diverse entertainment. There is plenty of free parking, notably in the parking garage at the Indiana Design Center, one and a half blocks south of the festival on South Range Line Road, and at Carmel High School, from which a shuttle will operate. In addition, visitors may park at Old Town Shoppes, Main Street and Range Line Road, or at the Lions Club lot just east of Range Line Road on the south side of Main Street. Truly, this event has something for ev-erybody. Please mark your calendars and plan to take in this phenomenal event. For more information, visit www.carmelartsfestival.org.

are beginning to head back to school. Girl Scouts of Central Indiana invites all girls

who entered kindergarten this fall to become Girl Scout Daisies. Girl Scout Daisies meet in a nur-turing, inclusive environment. They learn many new skills while having fun and making new friends. They go on trips, learn about nature and science, and explore the arts in their communi-ties. Girl Scout Daisies can also earn learning petals and receive participation patches.

Hannah, a new Girl Scout Daisy, was heard say-ing, “I love being a Daisy. It’s hard not to when you have so much fun! I’ve made so many new friends.”

Girl Scouts of Central Indiana is always looking for adults who want to help Girl Scout Daisies on their path through Girl Scouting. Adults who volun-teer find it is very rewarding to see a girl achieve her full potential and use her leadership skills.

Editor,Secretary of State John Kerry has stated that

Assad must go and he cannot be a part of Syria’s future. He also stated that President Obama has decided to help and arm the rebels. This so-called “limited strike” is the beginning of regime change and step one of that plan. The policy of regime change brought us perpetual violence and in-stability in Egypt, the Ayatollah’s in Iran, a more radical and unstable Iraq, anarchy in Libya, and a United States approaching bankruptcy. Assad

is currently placing civilians around valuable targets and has had way too much time to pre-pare for the impending strikes. Next time maybe we should go to Congress first before wasting valuable time asking the United Nations for permission to act. Congress should vote No! This will only embolden Assad and Iran and endanger Israel. It will put the United States in the middle of a civil war where we have to choose between Assad and Al Qaeda supported rebels.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

I may have an unhealthy relationship with my automobile. My husband called yesterday to

tell me that he had run Mini-Van by Car Max, and that if they had offered him just a few hundred dol-

lars more, he would have sold her on the spot. I almost started crying. Crying! Over a car. What’s the matter with me?

She is, after all, a 2006 Dodge Caravan with no working A/C, side doors, or cup holders. She surpassed 100,000 miles this summer on a road trip that required a trip to Clark Tire to fix what we thought was a busted transmission, but turned out to be just a leaky water pump. She has a large dent on the driver’s side door courtesy of our stupid garage, which rudely at-tacked me two Octobers ago as I was pulling in. Perhaps you’ve seen me driving about town with a magnetic band-aid covering the “boo-boo”? The point is she’s a piece of crap, and I should be excited about getting rid of her rather than weepy at the thought of selling her off for death by dis-part-ment.

But here’s the thing. We’ve been through a lot together, Mini-Van and I. I’ve driven her to two NCAA Final Fours, decorating her with enough red and black paint to embarrass my teenager and make seeing out the windows slightly chal-lenging. She’s hauled my family all over the state of Indiana, to the Rocky Mountains and the Atlan-

tic Ocean, and enough times on the I-65 corridor from Chicago to Montgomery that we know exactly which gas stations to avoid for their unsanitary bathrooms. This is also the car that made one of the most memorable ER runs in Wilson family history [see Archives, May 12, 2009, for a thrilling account].

On a smaller scale, my kids have probably spent more time in this van than in any other vehicle apart from her predecessor, Big Red, may she rest in peace. Carpooling to soccer, swimming, vol-leyball, cross country, gymnastics, dance, tennis, track, hurling (not really, just wanted to see if you were paying attention) and basketball has filled a big portion of their day-to-day lives. Honestly, they’ve spilled more milk, soda and Gatorade in Mini-Van than they have at our kitchen table, at-testable by the slight smell of rot that emanates from the cloth-interior on especially hot days.

Mini-Van is not just our mode of transporta-tion. She is our historian. Every stain, scratch and unidentifiable food glob tells a story of my family. So, yeah, when I finally have to part with her, I’m going to bawl like a little girl. Maybe it’s unhealthy, but it’s the way I feel. I love you, Mini-Van! Peace out.

and I know it has arrived.It’s the day I take my summer clothes down

to the basement and bring my winter clothes up to my bedroom. This might be a good time to breeze through your paper and see if there is a more worthwhile article to read. On the other hand, you might be one of many who are say-ing, “Gee, I guess I’m not the only one who does this. I better stick this column on my fridge.”

Every fall I also promise myself that I will wash or dry-clean all my spring and summer wardrobe so that when April 12 rolls around (or March 7 or March 17 or April 23) I can just go down to the basement and take everything fresh off the rack. This is an odd plan, since I don’t have any racks in the basement. My golf shirts are hanging on the hot water pipes, my pants are in an old bureau draw that has no handles, and my short-sleeve shirts have been deposited in a black plastic garbage bag in the crawl space. I would donate some of the outdated clothes to a charity, but they’re pretty musty, and I don’t want to create any ill-will at Goodwill.

There are advantages to this clothing trans-

fer. You get to learn a lot about your basement that you never knew. Just last year, when I was digging for my wool sweaters, I came upon an odd-looking thing on the wall that my neighbor said contains something called circuit breakers. I had never seen this door before because my pale blue leisure suits were draped over the metal box and had hidden it from view. Appar-ently, circuit breakers are important in an emer-gency if things get too hot. That’s the way I feel about my leisure suits.

I also found my tax records from l978 in a mildewed storage box on a top shelf behind three pairs of gray flannel pants stuffed in a torn lampshade. I remember that 1978 was the one year I kept really, really good records, so I hope if I ever get audited by the IRS, they pick 1978. I think I could impress them with my ac-counting acumen and classic fashion sense, especially if I wear those pants, which are also from 1978.

I just had a great idea. This year I’m not go-ing to switch my summer clothes for my fall and winter clothes. I’m going to move my bed down to the basement. That seems a lot easier.

It is a ‘clothes call’

T H I S W E E KMilestone musicals, shows delight B&B seasonBy Nancy Edwards • [email protected]

Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre will mark its 41st season in 2014 with four acclaimed musi-

cals celebrating milestone an-niversaries. The theatre will also introduce a new musical, the

fourth in a hilarious series of mishaps by recur-rent, endearing characters that audiences have grown to love.

Based on the books “Growing Up Lutheran,” and “Those Lutheran Ladies,” the latest musical, “A Mighty Fortress Is Our Basement,” is part of the “Church Basement Ladies” series, which follows the lives of several unique women who cook dinner for special events in the base-ment of their rural church. Eddie Curry, artistic director, casting director and actor for Beef & Boards, explained that this musical series is so popular because audiences can relate to the characters that remind them of church mem-bers they already know.

“Especially the older folks who went to rural churches,” Curry said. “They gathered in the church for potluck dinners and whatnot.”

Curry, who plays Pastor Gunderson in the series, said that characters like Mavis, a church lady whose husband loses yet another finger from a farming accident, keep attendees coming back for the next sequel in the series because they want to know what happens next for the character.

“A Mighty Fortress Is Our Basement” is a rem-iniscent tale about memories from the church, as the property is about to be sold.

“A lot of the fourth (series) is about the same characters remembering church activities throughout the year. People are coming back to the church for a final service,” Curry said.

Another heartwarming musical being shown for the first time at Beef & Boards next year has been a family favorite for generations. “Mary Poppins,” the story of a delightful nanny with a lot of wisdom and a little magic who teaches a family how to value one another again.

The musical is part of the featured family show for the 2014 Season, which means the show has a special $10 discount for tickets for youth ages 3-15, according to Patricia Rettig, director of marketing and media relations. “The discount makes it easier to enjoy an outing together as a family,” she said.

Other beloved musicals returning to Beef & Boards include “Oklahoma!” the first collabora-tion of Rodgers & Hammerstein.

“You don’t get any more of an all-American musical than Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Oklahoma! It has been the foundation for Beef & Boards’ continued success, as it was the first show presented by our owner, Doug Stark,

when he first purchased the theatre with his business partner in 1980. It established the Broadway musical format which we still have today,” Rettig said.

Those musicals celebrating anni-versaries from their very first debut on stage include, “Lend Me A Tenor” and “Cats” at 25 years, “Fiddler on the Roof” with 50 years under its belt, and one of the longest-running shows, “Anything Goes,” which pre-miered 80 years ago.

“Beef & Boards is one of only sev-en professional, Equity, year-round dinner theatres in the country, and it’s still going strong after 40 years,” Rettig said. “That’s a testament to the support this area provides to the performing arts. We are grate-ful for that support, and hope to continue to entertain for many years to come.”

Currently playing at Beef & Boards is “Father of the Bride,” which many will recognize from the Spencer Tracy and Steve Martin films. It runs through Sept. 29. Visit www.beef-andboards.com/fatherofthebride/ for a calendar and show times.

For questions or more informa-tion, please contact Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre at 872-9644 or www.beefandboards.com.

Birds of a feather flock togetherCommentary by Joe Drozda with Bob Bley

It’s often said that birds of a feather flock together. This statement, credited to William Turner, a 16th century English naturalist, has become more than a mere observation. If rede-fined for tailgaters, means that people are more comfortable tailgating with others of similar socio-economic characteristics. Just look at a typical college stadium parking lot before a foot-ball game and you’ll see the natural groupings of tailgaters. Students will be obvious in certain areas, the alumni who donate to the school in other areas and the general public, who also ap-pear to seek out friends to park besides.

All will work well for tailgaters if Turner’s proverb is understood and its wisdom followed. Some tailgaters like to sit together quietly, drink in hand, and converse about what’s happened since they last met. Some gourmands feel the necessity to prepare huge quantities of food to amaze guests, neighbors, and the inevitable on-lookers wandering through the festivities. Some people are not happy unless they have huge, ear-pounding, speakers blasting out music that appeals to no one but themselves. The ironic thing is that each group creates its own ambi-

ance and as long as they “flock together, no one ruffles a feather.”

Here’s a great recipe submitted by Purdue University graduate Mary Ellen C. Van Buskirk.

DEVILED EGGSIngredients: One dozen large eggs, mayon-

naise, horseradish mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt/pepper, black olives

Preparation: Boil, cool, and peel the eggs. (Be advised that there are different schools of thought on how to hard boil eggs for the perfect deviled egg.) Cut the eggs in half lengthways and remove the yolks to a bowl. Place the whites on a tray and cool. Mash the yolks with a fork, add-ing mayo, mustard, and Worcestershire till the mixture gets soft like icing. Add salt and pepper to taste. You can add more horseradish, mustard, or Worcestershire sauce to suite your taste. Use a pastry tube to fill the whites with your mixture. For an accent, you can garnish each egg with a slice of black olive. (Get it? Black and Gold)

Commentary by Jeffery Schoonover

As many as 45 percent of all men will experi-ence varicose veins at some point in their lives.

The number one cause of varicose veins in both men and women is family his-

tory. If your mom or grandmother had varicose veins, you are more likely to have them. Lifestyle factors play a significant role as well. If your job requires you to stand for long periods, such as medical professionals, factory workers, sales or restaurant occupations, you are more likely to get varicose veins. If you travel and spend long hours flying or driving, or if you sit at a desk for several hours at a time, you are at risk as well. Varicose veins can even be the result of previous leg trauma. Varicose veins can affect men of all ages but the risk increases with age because of the loss of tissue tone and muscle mass, as well as a weakening of the venous walls.

If restless legs keep you awake at night, this could be a sign that you have varicose veins. If you don’t enjoy taking a walk with your wife or playing with the kids or grandkids like you used to because of leg pain, that could be another sign. Generally men have the same symptoms as women: pain, leg heaviness, tiredness, muscle cramps and swelling. But, as men, we are less likely to seek medical treatment. It is important that you seek consultation if you are experienc-

ing any of these symptoms.Like any chronic medical condition, varicose

veins will progress without treatment. Because varicose veins are often painful, it is important to treat them in order to maintain an active lifestyle. Treatments such as medical grade com-pression stockings and changes in work habits can improve your symptoms but will not address the underlying cause. Severe varicose veins can lead to serious complications such as skin break-down and even blood clots.

The treatments available for men as exactly the same as for women and just as effective. Men can undergo ultrasound guided endovenous laser treatment , or EVLT. This cutting-edge laser proce-dure involves inserting a small laser fiber through the skin into the varicosed vein. Laser energy is delivered inside the vein, which causes the vein to collapse and seal shut. Once that vein is closed, the blood reroutes to other healthy veins. Some men may need sclerotherapy following EVLT.

The good news is that most patients are able to return to work almost immediately following treatment and eventually can resume those ac-tivities you have been avoiding.

Men get varicose veins, too

INSUrANCE

Commentary by Jamie Ianigro

Question from Jessica W. from Westfield:Labor Day has passed and that means we’re

starting to think about closing our lake house for the winter. What kind of insurance concerns should we be thinking about?

Response from Jamie Ianigro: Sorry to hear that news. I’m sure your independent insurance agent would love to come down the next couple of weekends to help you out…

A couple of factors come in play when we talk about unoccupied homes and insurance. Notice I didn’t say vacant homes. Let’s start with the difference between vacant and unoccupied.

Figuring out the difference between a vacant home and an unoccupied home is as easy as walking in the front door. Unoccupied homes might be a little chilly or a little warm, but people are obviously still living there. It will look like someone could have just left or might be home shortly. A vacant home is going to be pretty much empty and it will be obvious that people are not living there. The fridge will be empty, most of the furniture will be gone, etc.

Insurance carriers will not insure an unoccu-pied home and a vacant home at the same price

It’s not vacant, it’s unoccupiedor coverage levels. A vacant dwelling requires a special policy and is much more costly than a common homeowner’s policy. Your independent insurance agent can help you find a vacant home policy or elaborate further if you think your home might be vacant.

Each insurance carrier is different, but you can start to lose coverage if your home is unoccupied for a certain period of time. The big two that usu-ally drop off would be coverage for vandalism and coverage for losses caused by a plumbing failure like freezing pipes. These claims can each be cost-ly, so it is very important to know and understand your policy provisions. Dropping by in January to find a ruined house can be made a lot worse by finding out your insurance carrier is denying all or major parts of your claim.

The important takeaway here is to make sure you understand your insurance policy before you lock the doors and winterize the boat. Your inde-pendent insurance agent will be glad to go over it with you and clear up any confusion you may have.

Hamilton County Kids Sale organizers said this year’s three-day event will be “more than just a

sale.” Owner Lori Chandler estimates 2,500 shoppers will attend this year’s

Hamilton County Kids Sale on Sept. 12 through 14 at the Hamilton County 4-H Fairgrounds, 2003 E. Pleasant St., Noblesville.

Chandler said the sale began in 2005 with 15 consigners in the front yard of a Carmel home. After years of a steady increase of sellers, the event now combines about 300 consigners.

“The last couple of years we’ve capped it. Once we hit 300 we close registration,” she said. “I enjoy knowing my sellers.”

Chandler said the sale includes “anything you would need for kids,” including clothes for newborns to teens, maternity wear for expecting mothers, toys and equipment like strollers, high chairs and bounce seats.

“Items began at $1 and go to anything. Clothes are typically $2 to $6,” she said. “You can really shop and see 75 to 90 percent off retail prices.”

More than 50,000 items will be jammed in the 16,000 square feet of exhibition hall space at the 4-H Fairgrounds. Chandler said instead of visiting booth after booth, sellers bring their items, use the online tagging system and put a price on each item. Workers then organizer all items by size and gen-der for clothes or genre for toys and equipment.

Organizers estimate 2,500 shoppers will attend this year’s Hamilton County Kids Sale Sept. 12 through 14 at the Hamilton County 4-H Fair-grounds, 2003 E. Pleasant St. (Photo submitted)

Kids’ sale expects crowd

“It’s so much easier. You don’t have to rifle through everything like at a garage sale,” Chan-dler said. “It’s the only place I buy my kids’ stuff.”

Chandler said this year will incorporate new events like car seat checks, giveaways and character visits from Mickey, Minnie and Elmo on Sept. 12 and 13 to entertain children accompany-ing adults.

The sale is 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sept. 12, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 13 and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sept. 14. Those who bring diapers or diaper wipes to donate to Good Samaritan Network will be allowed to enter half an hour before the event opens to the public on Sept. 12.

The event does not charge an admission fee. Chandler said items can be purchased with cash, MasterCard or Visa.

Syria’s capital an important site

Don Knebel is a Zionsvilleresident who works for Barnes& Thornburg LLP. For the full column visit currentzionsville.com. You may contact him at [email protected]

Commentary by Don Knebel

When Americans hear about the death and destruction in Syria, most probably don’t worry about the possible impact on Christian histori-

cal sites. They should. The city of Damascus includes preserved loca-tions dating from the earliest days

of Christianity.According the Book of Acts, Paul was on his

way to Damascus to round up followers of Jesus when he was blinded and fell from his horse. Paul was led to a house on Straight Street in Damascus, where he was baptized by a fol-lower of Jesus named Ananias. His vision was immediately restored, enabling Paul to make the missionary journeys that eventually spread Christianity throughout the Roman Empire.

Damascus is the capital of modern Syria, with a population of nearly two million. Straight Street today is a major commercial avenue, its begin-ning marked by an ancient gate. A large statue along Straight Street memorializes Paul’s fall from his horse and an underground chapel along Straight Street is believed to be the house, origi-nally at street level, where Paul was baptized. Along the chapel’s wall are pictures telling Paul’s story, one showing him being lifted in a basket

through the city wall to evade people trying to kill him. A well-preserved wall along Straight Street is said to be where that event occurred.

The Great Mosque of Damascus honors the Christian history of the city. The tallest of its three minarets is officially called the “Jesus Minaret” and the mosque itself contains a shrine holding what is claimed to be the severed head of John the Baptist.

The areas near Straight Street are inhabited by large numbers of Christians. A sign on the historic gate opening onto Straight Street reveals an important Greek Orthodox Church just inside. Many Syrian Christians support the current Syr-ian regime because they fear the opposition could eliminate the religious freedom they enjoy in what is officially a secularist country.

Now is not the time to go to Damascus, but we can all hope that when the fighting is over its connection to Christian history and the religious freedom of its citizens will have been preserved.

Commentary by Jordan Fischer

Question: “Are you brave enough to tackle ‘for free?’ Obviously it should be either ‘free,’ ‘free of charge’ or even ‘no charge.’ Teeth-on-edge-set-

ting.” (Nancy Blackwell)Answer: We better

take care of this one fast. Chronic teeth-grinding is a good way to wind up with a root canal ap-pointment or hearing loss. (If, like me, you were un-aware that teeth grinding can cause hearing loss, I’m glad we could share this learning moment.)

The question: Is say-ing “for free,” as in, “I’d like some waffle fries, for free,” grammatically correct?

The answer: No, I’m afraid not. There are two very good reasons for this. The first: “For” and “free” are considered shortenings of the expressions “in exchange for” and “free of charge,” respectively. There are plenty of articles on the Internet discussing the issue here – namely that “in exchange for free of charge” doesn’t make much sense. I’ll leave it at this: “Free” means, by definition, “for nothing,” so to say “for for nothing” is entirely redundant.

The second reason: “For,” as a preposition, begs to start a prepositional phrase. To com-plete that goal, it needs a noun or pronoun to act as its object. But “free,” being an adverb in the sentence above, cannot fill that role. “Free” modifies “like,” leaving “for” dangling off the end of the sentence with no object and no purpose. There is a redundancy here too. The prepositional phrase that “for” tries to start would act as an

adverb modifying “like.” For example, you might say, “I would like waffle fries for nothing.” But you would not say, “I would like waffle fries free for nothing,” which is what, if completed, the phrase “for” would say.

The message to take away here is that “for free” is, at best, a re-dundancy, and at worst a purposeless, dangling preposition – and nobody

wants those hanging around when you have free waffle fries to enjoy.

Free yourself from ‘for free’

Commentary by John Mikesell

You may have noticed that the Humane Soci-ety of Hamilton County is overflowing with dogs and cats. They need help and you may very well need a pet. I think it is very important to check with rescues, for breed specific, and the Humane Society for other dogs or cats. Sometimes they even have birds.

Here’s how to make your new dog’s adoption work for life.

Adopting a new dog is exciting, wonderful, and a happy time. But brining a new dog home is also an uncertain time. What will your dog be like? Will he be a good match for your family? Will he be everything you hoped for?

Bringing a new dog into the home can also, quite frankly, be a rather shocking time for you and your family. Suddenly your life will be com-pounded by the energy and needs of the new family member. Every one will go through an

adjustment – dogs and people alike. What can you do to ensure that you and your new dog will settle into a long happy life together?

EXPECTIONS COUNTHave realistic expectations and be prepared.

I have had extremely good luck with my two rescues. Both Isabelle and Karma have been well behaved, house broken and lead trained. Some has been just pure luck. Both of the dogs stay away from treats in the store with just a simple reminder. I was not sure what to expect with Karma. I had Isabelle for four years before we opened the store, so I was somewhat sure of how she would react to being in this environ-ment. Karma was another story. She was very timid at first, but now she has really come out of her shell. I hope I was prepared for any issues. If a dog is going to be returned following an adop-tion, it is often in the first three weeks- usually because behavior issues come up that people aren’t prepared for and don’t know how to deal

with. Having realistic expectations can help you get through the adjustment period- with the least stress and the most success.

What will the adjustment period be like? How long will it last? The answer these questions are simply: It depends on the dog, on you, and on your environment.

Every dog is different. I like to tell people that it takes time to pick the right dog. Don’t make snap decisions. Rescue dogs come from all kinds of situations, so one never knows for sure how they will react. The Sheltie rescue that I volunteer for makes a home visit before we adopt a dog. We have a list of questions we ask prospective own-ers. We just want to make sure the dog will not go from one bad home to another, our foster care givers can check the dogs out before hand to see if the dogs are good with children and any other problems before we release the dog.

Some of the more obvious things to watch for are: pacing and other overactive behavior;

attaching to one person in the family, but being very shy of others; mouthing people, jumping up on them, barking and chewing; and trying to escape or hiding.

What You Can DoTake your time. Don’t be in a rush to get a dog;

wait for just the right oneThen, don’t overeagerly drag your new dog all

over town and to the dog park. Let him settle in at your home for a few weeks, so you get to know each other. I made a mistake with Karma in this respect; I should have let her get used to me before I brought her into the store.

If possible, maintain a low level of stress and activity in your home for the first few weeks.

READY YOUR FALL WARDOBE IN 7 EASY STEPSPretty soon we'll be trading our iced coffees for a warm pumpkin spicelatte; likewise, we will be making adjustments in our closets, tradingsundresses for cozier fare. Because the change of seasons is a much moresubtle transition (not like �ipping a switch), we're creating a few of ourfavorite ways to ready for the weather with ease - the pieces you'll needright now to transform your summery staples for the Fall season ahead.

• Start simple - a cardigan may just be the best lightweight layer tobegin the transition. Invest in soft cashmere versions and longer-lengthvarieties that will wear just as well over your favorite Summer dresses now,as they will with skinny pants and denim later on in the season.• Your footwear is the easiest way to hint at the change of seasons.Start swapping your sandals and wedges for loafers and ankle boots that feelinherently like Fall. You don't have to commit to a head-to-toe Fall style,but changing your favorite gladiator sandals for a pair of loafers with yourjeans shows you're on top of the seasonal shift.

• While Summer is the season for breezy cotton, Fall is all aboutrich, luxe textures. Start introducing corduroy, leather and faux furdetailing when the chill really sets in. • A transition to Fall means adding to your jacket wardrobe. A denimjacket is perfect for everyday to throw over a printed dress, skirt, or tee;later, it will be a staple in your Fall wardrobe, alongside sophisticatedskinnies and a snug sweater.• For work: style up your shift dress with a blazer and finish withpumps.• Embrace the shift with a darker palette. Adding jewel tones and deepbrowns, blacks, and grays to temper bold print and bright color can takeeven your most summery printed skirts and dresses into Autumn.• Do an accessory swap. Trade in raffia, woven, and lighter-weightsatchels for leather and suede satchels or handbags with heavier hardware.Even toting a Fall-feeling purse can give your look a seasonally mindedmakeover in a snap.

BEAUTY BY NUTRITIONPreparing your snacks ahead of time is one of the best ways to prevent unwanted weight gain. Our on-staff Registered Dietician has given us her tried and true combos to help keep you full and keep you away from the chips and candy. Planning ahead will keep you from going overboard between meals! Grapes & Grahams: Take one graham cracker and split it into two squares. Spread each square with a light layer of cream cheese. Then sprinkle eight halved grapes over the top. It may sound strange, but it’s so delicious! Pear/Apple & String Cheese: To curb your sugar cravings, have a piece of fruit with a side of cheesy protein. Cheese is packed with calcium, calcium can help adjust your body’s fat-burning machinery. Greek Yogurt: Have a cup of Greek yogurt. If it’s plain, drizzle a little agave nectar over it and top it off with a few berries or slivered almonds. Greek yogurt is packed with protein, which will keep you feeling full. Plus it has a lot of calcium too! Hummus & Veggies: The hummus is made from chickpeas, which is rich in protein and fiber. It’s low fat and filling!

IT’S A MATCHFor the Fall transition, we're excited to slip on a pair of matchstick pants to pair with your fresh crop of sweaters, silky boyfriend tops, and blazers.

Commentary by Randy Sorrell

“Creating moments” is the new buzz in the green industry as the satisfac-

tion of outdoor living gains momentum. Inspired families are

learning to spend more time laughing/ dining/talking around the delicious pa-tio than tethered to the television.

These abbreviated moments are loosely defined and evoke all sorts of imagery of solitude and romance. Something most of us could use more of. Perhaps it’s a cache of heirloom pe-rennials blasting color and fragrance on a forgotten path, or carved in the edge of an original travertine patio. It could be an iron bench overlooking a hedge of double knock out roses or tastefully placed under a maturing dogwood canopy.

Larger moments happen when spac-es are arranged with an end product in mind…”I want all the kids to hang out at our place after the musical or football game around the boulder fire pit”. Or…“Our generous patio needs to flow well for the neighbors to gather around our grill counter, smoke cigars and drink a bottle of wine”.

CONVERSATIONS. EMOTION. Those are the conversations need-

ed to create the spaces that make these sought after moments happen. Without that, the space may look great, but feel benign.

There are several relevant strategies to intentionally draw out the emotion of a gravel path, covered porch or patio space. Authentic materials and a for-ward design leads the cause, followed by coordinated color and texture. Qual-ity furniture with dramatic cushions and a textured elegant rug can elevate any space and prompt a sterile con-crete slab into a provocative living area. The pictured decomposed granite land-ing on the side of a historic carriage house is edged with Indiana limestone and protected with a historic iron fence and generous limestone columns. A moment is created.

What sort of moments do you hope for?

You have seen these houses; they appear on the front of Elegant Living Magazine and are

plastered all over Houzz. They are the lovely homes that exude graciousness,

and lots and lots of money.Sometimes they are the homes of celebrities

or software developers but sometimes they are the homes of real people who simply did decorat-ing “right.”

There are tangible differences between the house that just happens and the one that is carefully sculpted into a piece of art.

The home that looks complete will be accom-plished through a planned process, and, with the exception of periodic updates, will be left to enjoy.

This will sound harsh to those who just love to shop. My best advice is to decorate once and do it right. After that, focus on shoes or sweat-ers for the shopping fix.

Rich looking homes do have features that set them apart. Drapery is typically full, lined and interlined. It touches the floor or puddles. It does not come out of a plastic bag. Rich homes will take drapery well beyond the top of the window – to the ceiling in some cases.

Most rich looking homes will have wood floors. Wall to wall carpet can never look as warm and inviting as wood.

Live in a calm luxury

Accent pillows are important to a rich look. Polyester pillows just don’t cut it so consider this an opportunity to splurge. Use pillows that are oversized and filled with down. This is a great place to use an incredible textile since the

necessary yardage is far less than anything else in your home.

Use patterns judiciously to achieve a richer look. Texture is a subtle element that sets a rich looking room apart from a so-so house.

Lose the builder-grade lighting. Splurge on one fabulous chandelier for the dining area or foyer. It will set the tone for the rest of the lighting in the home.

Try painting doors black. It elevates them to new importance.

Lose the clutter. Any item that is visible should be a part of the overall design plan.

Beef up your molding. If crown molding is already in place, you can give it the illusion of being far grander by simply adding a strip 4 to 6 inches down and painting it all the same.

Take a room and paint it a deep dark choco-late or indigo. Light color furnishing and art will explode in such a room.

Remember, the homes that look as if they belong to the wealthiest among us are treated as planned project with a start and a finish to the vision. Certainly, such homes can evolve but there is a calm luxury in living life in a home that is not in a constant state of incompletion.

Commentary by David Decker

Since it is one of the keystones of any home, chances are that you use your master bedroom

space as more than just a place to sleep at night. Functional, beautiful lighting can’t be cre-

ated from a single light source. You’ll want dif-ferent types of lighting that correspond with the different activities you do most. To achieve the best lighting design for your master bedroom, consider using layers to light the space. Layer-ing lighting works by blending together multiple light sources to create a rich and ambient atmo-sphere. Let’s take a look at the specifics of this method and discover how layering can be imple-mented successfully in your bedroom.

The bottom layer of our lighting pyramid is called the “overall” layer or “ambient” layer. This is the foundation of the room’s lighting design. Chandeliers, ceiling fixtures and wall sconces fall into this category, and are intended to create soft illumination for everyday use. The ambient layer will determine the general brightness of the room. You may want to try installing dimmer switches or wiring different lights to turn on via different switches. That way, you can adjust the brightness of the ambiance level up or down based on the activity you are engaged in.

The next layer of lighting is the “task” lighting. This bright layer illuminates specific areas or sur-faces to help with activities like reading, work-

Properly lighting your master bathroom

ing on the computer or applying makeup at the vanity. And because task lighting is more direct, using more of these lights instead of ambient lighting can help you save on energy bills.

Accent lighting refers to the top layer of our lighting system. This lighting helps enhance the room and create visual interest. You can use accent lighting to illuminate art or architectural elements. Accent lights usually are adjustable so they can be used to produce a variety of styles for the room. This layer doesn’t necessarily add functional light to the room; it’s mainly there to

complete the look of the room. Make sure these lights are on the dim side so they don’t over-power the rest of your décor.

Here’s a quick checklist provided by the Ameri-can Lighting Association to help you determine whether you have an adequate lighting scheme for your master bedroom. You will want to be able to say yes to each of these questions.

1. Can I see well enough to get dressed?2. Is there a light in the closet?3. Are there individual reading lights on each

side of the bed?4. Is there an overhead light source?5. Do I have enough light to determine the

colors of clothing in my drawers?6. Do I have a light source near the door?7. Have I installed outlets in convenient

locations while building/renovating my bedroom?

8. Can I fill dark corners with portable lighting sources?

9. Do I have a dimmer installed on the over-head light source?

10. Are there lights at the dressing table to help with makeup?
