Conner Prairie’s long-running reenactment of the lives of runaway slaves on the Underground Railroad, “Follow the North Star,” gives guests a clear picture

of the danger African-Americans faced 150 years ago.

Today, the program also teach-ers visitors that slavery is far from over.

Human trafficking affects approximately 27 million people in the world today, a $32 billion-a-year indus-try. Why are these numbers so staggering?

“Girls are sold by parents who do not have enough money; these girls are being sold into prostitution,” said Jenny Sherrill, a historic interpreter with Conner Prairie Interactive History Museum in Fishers.

Most of us are not surprised that the industry is thriving overseas, especially in Asia. Yet human trafficking also is very real in the Midwest, including central Indiana.

“People will bring in children to where the Super Bowl is going to be held that year or other big sport-ing events to provide entertainment (to guests),” Sherrill said. “We think ‘Oh, people go to Hong Kong (for child sex trafficking), but it’s not just there (that it exists).”

Teenage girls in the nation may also unwittingly be trapped into the trade when they run away from their own abusive families, according to Sherrill.

When the girls have nowhere else to go, they be-come easy prey for anyone promising them a safer place to live.

“Girls abused tend to fall into other people who tend to abuse them,” she said.

Public knowledge of the industry has increased widely for the past three to four years, according to Sherrill, who talks with guests after they go through the interactive North Star experience.

“When I asked ‘Is there slavery today?’ (before), people would say ‘no, no.’ People are a lot more aware now,” she said.

When participants go through the experience of North Star, which has been ongoing since 1998, they learn that women slaves were referred to as “breed-ers” and “cows.”

Sadly, today, young girls sold to the human traf-ficking industry are not treated any better than they were less than a few centuries ago.

Yet a safe place in Columbus, Ohio called Grace Haven helps those former victims. The home offers education, counseling, mentoring and life skills train-ing (gracehaven.me).

Sherrill, in addition to other employees and volun-teers at Conner Prairie, hope to challenge guests to pay attention to these tragedies that are often over-looked by those who do not agree but do not feel comfortable getting involved, in much the same way that African-American slavery was treated.

‘North Star’ brings slavery awareness

Genelle’s daughter-in-law Heather is direct, “The tumor was pressing on her spinal cord. I knew things had to happen quickly.” At Community North, they did. “She wasn’t getting responsive care where she lived so we flew her up here. The next day she was seeing the doctor,” says Heather. The affiliation between Community Hospital North and East and MD Anderson Cancer Network™ is what impressed Genelle and Heather the most.

“When you find out MD Anderson is number one* in the nation it removes any doubt,” says Genelle. Heather adds, “My sense of confidence came from their sense of urgency.” Cancer is proof that there are no dumb questions. So keep asking. And take comfort in knowing that the answers start here.

Commentary by Larry Lannan

High school students in Hamilton Southeast-ern Schools could soon have access to dual-credit classes for college credit. That is, if state

lawmakers allow local school administrators flexibility un-der the law.

Students currently have access to Advanced Placement classes that count toward college credit at many universities if students pass a test after completing the course. Dual credit classes will expand college credit opportunities.

“There are many college classes that are not offered in the AP style,” said HSE School Supt. Dr. Brian Smith.

Smith describes the current system for ob-taining state approval for dual credit classes as “cumbersome.” That is where the Indiana Gen-eral Assembly enters the picture.

Local school officials plan on lobbying the state legislature to amend the current law governing accreditation. This would allow high-performing school districts such as HSE to offer dual credit classes without the difficult state approval pro-cess now in place. The dual credit classes would allow students to take regular high school classes taught at a higher college level, rather than take the additional AP classes for college credit. Smith said if the General Assembly allows the change, high school students could begin taking college credit courses as early as 9th grade.

HSE may offer dual-credit classes Here’s how Smith plans to sell his plan to

state lawmakers:“If we’re doing a good job, give us the freedom

to be innovative and we can do better things for our students,” Smith said.

HSE Schools already has more than 20 teach-ers accredited to instruct the college level dual-credit courses. These teachers need a master’s degree in the subject matter they are teaching and the universities require their own training for certification as adjunct professors.

To date, Purdue University, Ball State Univer-sity and Indiana University are all participating. Smith said all three are working toward a sys-tem where the dual credit college classes ac-credited for one will be accepted by all three.

The Senior Academies due to open in August, 2015, will be a key part of this strategy. If the state makes the changes, seniors taking a full load of dual credit classes will have the same freedom to study and complete work outside the class as a college student on campus.

Our elected officials in the statehouse have the ability to allow HSE Schools the discretion for offering dual credit classes. The question is, will it happen?

Rep. Susan Brooks recently met with a group of Advanced Placement Computer Science students at Fishers High School. She has introduced a bi-

partisan bill – the Computer Science Education Act – that will provide more funding flex-

ibility for computer science in the kindergarten through grade 12 system. The bill is supported by a wide range of groups including code.org, Google and Microsoft. Part of the bill was recently included in the Student Success Act passed by the House, however, the full bill is still being pushed.

“We need to make sure our students are ready to compete for 21st century jobs in an increas-ingly tech-driven and global economy,” Brooks said. “Fishers High School is giving its students a chance to learn important skills like coding and programming. These kids are taking classes that will open doors for them moving forward. The knowledge they’re gaining now will help them as they pursue valuable college degrees and apply for jobs at top companies.”

During her FHS visit, Congresswoman Brooks

shared information on the Computer Science Ed-ucation Act and how it would increase access to computer science opportunities for students. She also asked the students to share information that would help her pitch the bill to colleagues in the House of Representatives. Many students discussed the need to put computers in front of kids as early as possible. Some suggested that basic computer courses include an introduction to Computer Science so that more students will be interested in the subject. They also discussed the need for more women to study computer science and work in the STEM field.

“The Computer Science Education Act will enable quality programs like the one at Fishers High School to grow while also allowing schools just beginning to explore Computer Science to begin offering new opportunities for students,” Brooks said.

Before leaving the students, Brooks reminded them to thank their teachers for all of their hard work and commitment to helping them succeed. After the visit, Congresswoman Brooks met with Superintendent Brian Smith, Principal Jason Ur-ban and HSE Schools board members.

The Computer Science Education Act will enable quality programs like the one at Fishers High School to grow while also allowing schools just beginning to explore computer science to begin offering new oppor-tunities for students,” U.S. Rep.

THE COMMUTE


Slow traffic lights in town have been making motorists see red during peak rush hour conges-tion. The Town of Fishers is working to improve

the problem by upgrading signals.

Outdated technology is to blame for the problem with slow signals, according to Jeff Hill, engineering director for the Town of Fishers.

Real-time system signal modernization will be implemented along the areas of 96th Street, 116th Street, 126th Street and Allisonville Road, affecting 39 total intersections. The project will have new sensors placed at existing intersec-tions, connecting to one central computer. The signals will ‘talk’ to each other to determine how to move traffic more effectively.

“Overall the end result is to have better time signals communicating with each other and im-proved better flow, reduced emission and overall better,” Hill said.

During the fall and winter months, motorists will notice construction loops, cameras and running fiber optic cable as the project is in the development stages, however, there will be minimal delays. The endeavor is scheduled to be completed next spring.

The contractor on board is Midwestern Elec-tric, Inc.

Federal Aid funding through the Indiana De-partment of Transportation was paid for 85 per-cent of the project. The cost of the total system was approximately $2.4 million; the town paid between $400,000 and $500,000.

recreation and more. Now, with the honor of being selected as the 2014 recipient of the Indiana Park

and Recreation Association’s Award of Excellence for the Nickel Plate District Amphitheater, Fishers Parks and Recreation can add prestigious award winner to its list of accomplishments.

The IPRA’s 2014 Award of Excellence will be presented on Jan. 16 at the association’s annual awards banquet. The award honors the Fishers organization and the achievement of the Nickel Plate District Amphitheater.

“This was really a team effort that included individuals from almost every department within the town, as well our elected officials,” Fishers Town Manager Scott Fadness said.

“We are very happy for Fishers Parks and Rec-reation to be honored with this award,” stated Chris Owens, executive director of the Indiana Park and Recreation Association.

“They are a great example of the impact a small department can have on a large number of people and the venue itself provides wonderful opportunities for leisure time,” he said.

This past weekend, Fishers High School’s Per-forming Arts Dept. presented “Fame - the Musi-cal.” Based on the movie and television show of

the same name, the story spans four years in the life of ambitious students attending the New York City High

School of Performing Arts in the early ’80s.The play’s director, Matt Rund, 44, provided

a behind-the-scenes look at the play and dis-cussed his approach with the large cast of 70 students.

“My goal has always been to teach as we en-tertain. That is what educational theater is about - stretching the performer not only in the perfor-mance aspect, but the mental aspect,” he said.

While he admitted that on some days, manag-ing 70 kids is like “herding cats,” he said his ex-perience as a football coach, as well his military experience, taught him a few tricks about keep-ing students focused for rehearsals. For example, to help the students develop their characters, he began each rehearsal with an ’80s dance party.

Rund removed some of the script’s grittier elements, but not all. One of the main characters, Carmen, drops out of school and moves to Los Angeles. Soon after, she dies of a drug overdose, which Rund felt was an important part of the play’s message.

“She made some poor choices, and it’s impor-

tant for the kids to know that.” He also hopes his students take away another important les-son from the play, that “it takes hard work to do what you want to do.”

For Rund, the most inspiring part of directing is seeing his vision come to life.

“It is like painting a picture that only exists for two hours,” Rund said. He also enjoys watching the students develop.

“You get to see the kids transform right in front of your eyes, from the read-through to opening night. The kids are always improving.”

While thematically the play casts a spotlight on an artist’s hunger for fame, Rund hesitates to single out any one FHS student in the play. He proudly points out, “They all worked hard.”

County eyes expansion, not a move

gOvErNMENT

Howard

Heirbrandt

By Robert Herrington • [email protected]

Hamilton County officials have come to a con-sensus on an option to deal with the space issue

at the Hamilton County Government & Judicial Center in downtown

Noblesville – expand.“I’m very pleased with their

decision to keep their workers downtown,” Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear said.

Mike Howard, attorney for Hamilton County and Nobles-ville, said the plan is expand 35 to 40 feet out from the existing building to the west toward White River.

“The goal is to expand the building as originally planned,” he said. “Architecturally it will be the same.”

Commissioner Mark Heir-brandt said four options were presented for the commissioners to consider, including purchasing an existing building; a public-private venture located in downtown Noblesville; and moving out to the county-owned land adjacent to the Hamil-ton County Health Dept. off Ind. 37.

“We discussed what options were and what would be the best long term,” he said. “Staying in Noblesville would be best for everyone.”

Expansion may take place on the backside of the building, which faces White River in downtown Noblesville.

Heirbrandt said the county is working with Noblesville so “everyone’s on the same page.” The expansion would take into account the Riverwalk, Hamilton County Fallen Firefight-ers Memorial and a pedestrian bridge the city expects to construct with its new park across White River.

“We want to work with the city as we start to develop and plan to get a collaborative effort,” Heirbrandt said.

The 21-year-old building houses Hamilton County courts and several other county offices including the prosecutor, clerk, surveyor and planning department. The county treasurer, audi-tor, recorder and most of the assessor’s staff works in the historic courthouse across Eighth Street, which is connected to the Judicial Center via an underground tunnel.

“There are office inefficiencies with employees working on different floors. It’s not a conducive work environment,” Heirbrandt said, adding space is at a premium at the Judicial Center and

officials expect to add another judge or magis-trate to ease the courts’ heavy caseload.

“Hamilton County is the third fastest grow-ing county in the country. We have to serve the people and with that comes a growth in staff.”

Heirbrandt said the county is currently stak-ing out the option – literally. Stakes have been placed on the back side of the Judicial Center to provide officials with a conceptual idea of the size of an expansion as they try to figure out the scope of the project—and how to pay for it.

“We’re a long time away (from a decision). There are a lot of discussions that still have to take place – both technically and financially,” Heirbrandt said. “We don’t have a timeline. We’re going to take it slow and get a lot of input.”

State law requires a taxpayer referendum to authorize capital projects that exceed $12 million. Heirbrandt said one option to avoid a referendum is to complete one level and “shell in” the other floors and wait to finish the interior at another time.

Earlier this fall, the Hamilton County Council approved four general obligation bonds (each less than the $12 million limit) to be sold to fund $47 million in projects. The bonds replace decades-old debt that will be repaid by next year – keeping the county’s tax rate stable. A fifth bond, earmarked $11.5 million for the office expansion, was tabled by the council at the request of the three commis-sioners until their proposal was finalized.

Howard said plans will be made next year and financing options will be made at the end of 2014.

The first public hearing to discuss a potential 1 percent food and beverage tax

increase for Fishers inspired a spirited discussion among

members of the town council and residents of the community last week at Fishers Town Hall.

Proponents of the tax hike explained that revenue from the tax, estimated at 1.2 million dollars, would go toward reducing the town’s property tax and increasing economic development.

The majority of residents that expressed their opinion over the tax, however, ques-tioned the lack of a specific plan over where the money would go.

“I want to express opposition to the endless stream of tax revenue without a specific agenda,” said Bill Smythe, owner of local restaurant, Claude & Annie’s.

Other citizens voiced their concern over an additional tax that, when combined with other taxes, adds up over time. They also questioned the potential use of other sources for bringing in economic development.

Several council members pointed out that other sources of funding are not avail-

able due to extra town expenditures such as 911 calls, which cost $800,000 per year.

Council member Renee Cox delivered a short speech expressing her opposition to the tax for Fishers families and businesses.

“I’m not interested in the tax for the little amount gained for economic development,” she said. “People are sick and tired of being used as the government’s ATM machine.”

Several council members, including Scott Faultless, questioned Cox’s motive for dis-agreeing with the tax.

“It’s one thing to say you are opposed to the tax while running for mayor,” Fault-less said. “Roughly two years ago you (Cox) wanted to pass (the referendum).”

Kurt Meyer, president-elect of the Fish-ers Chamber of Commerce, is in favor of the tax. Meyer said he is in support of the tax because the revenue is needed to compete with neighboring cities to bring in new jobs.

“I accept the Chamber’s position to keep economic development running,” he said.

Kelly Novak, also representing the Chamber of Commerce, added that the tax is needed to support a “flourishing community.”

“It’s important to the town, business owners and community,” she said.

A second public hearing occurred yes-terday. The council will vote on the tax on Dec. 2.

HSE School Board approved a motion for a new policy that strictly prohibits anti-bullying in HSE

Schools and revised the student handbook to reflect the new mea-sures, which include:

• Students in grades 1-12, in addition to staff and volunteers, will receive anti-bullying training.

• Immediate reporting and documentation of any suspected bullying.

• Parents of students suspected of bullying, as well as parents of students being bullied, will be notified by a phone call.

• All staff and volunteers must report “bad behav-ior” on school premises.Background checks for host families

The board recommended a new procedure for any host families housing students for a school-sponsored trip to complete a full background check. This procedure must be completed by all persons 18 years and older who reside in the home. The board reviewed the first reading of the new procedure. Participation of non-public and homeschooled

students in the public schoolsThe board approved a measure to ensure consis-

tency in extra-curricular activities with public, non-public and home-schooled students.

A student who is being educated at a non-public school or at home may be allowed to participate in one or more of the district’s on-going, co-curricular or extracurricular activities at the school the student

would attend if enrolled in the district. They also will be allowed to enroll in one or more program courses provided that the enrollment request is submitted in writing to the superintendent prior to 10 days after the start of school.

Proposal for fine arts alternative credit The board approved a motion for a fine arts alter-

native credit proposal as presented for the model of AP/Dual Credit classes. In order for a student to be approved for the alternative credit, the student must submit a proposal to the department chair, describe how he/she will present evidence of standard profi-ciency and agree to assessments used for grading.

PISA update testingHSEHS and FHS have been awarded full subsidiar-

ies worth $8,000 per school for the OECD test, to be conducted on Jan. 29 and 30. The test will provide data that compares HSEHS and FHS to other schools in developed nations. 89 students from the two schools will be selected randomly to participate in the test based on PISA test questions and metrics.

Piloting AP Capstone A new diploma option that awards the AP

Capstone Diplomas and Certificates to students who earn high marks in AP Capstone courses is being piloted for the 2014-215 school year by the College Board. FHS and HSEHS were invited to be among the first 100 schools in the nation to participate.

Students in the program will complete two newly developed AP Courses, AP Seminar and AP Research, along with any four other AP classes.

“Nature’s antidepressant,” as K.B. Laugheed refers to her writing, helped her with her grieving process after the death of her mother. Laugheed is the author of the historical fiction novel, “The Spirit Keeper,” about an 18th-century Irish-American girl who is captured by American Indians from her home and taken on a journey. (Photos by Brian Brosmer)

• To buy Dr. Rob Bell’s “The Hinge: The Importance of Mental Toughness,” visit www.drrobbell.com/.


Two authors in the Fishers area have proven, through their writing and their own personal lives, that setbacks in life can cre-

ate positive opportunities.K.B. Laugheed is author of the new his-

torical novel, “The Spirit Keeper,” and Robert Bell has recently published “The Hinge: The Importance of Mental Toughness,” a nonfiction inspirational book. Although different genres, the books provide readers with the message of how a single life event can forever change a person’s fate. Whether the outcome is positive or negative is up to the individual.

“It only takes one (experience),” Bell said, referring to the stories of 38 individuals interviewed in his book who each experienced unexpected life-changing events. “We don’t know when that event is coming.”

Bell, a sport psychology coach, has worked with champions on the PGA Tour. His inspirations include athletes such as three-time Olympic gold medalist Rowdy Gaines, whose own setback caused him to have to wait another four years for the Olympics. Those extra years of hard work and determination resulted in wins that would not have otherwise happened.

Then there is the story of Indianapolis Colts kicker Adam Vinat-ieri, who was told that he “wasted an opportunity” by dropping out of West Point, the United States Military Academy. “He used that opportunity to prove people wrong,” Bell said.

Laugheed turned two tragedies into an inspiration for her book: the death of her mother and the 2011 Japan tsunami. Laugheed had previously written and tried to publish 12 books; she had not succeeded and decided to give up.

“I was not going to put myself through that again,” she said.This time, Laugheed decided to write for herself. “Nature’s anti-

depressant,” as she refers to her writing, helped with her grieving process. She began diving into research to discover the effects of a gigantic earthquake on the Pacific Northwest coast in 1700.

A tsunami was subsequently formed, which traveled across the Pacific Ocean and hit the east coast of Japan.

“I got to thinking what it must have been like, that huge, hor-rible earthquake,” she said. “That’s where the story started.”

“The Spirit Keeper” is set in 1747 Pennsylvania, where a 17-year-old daughter of Irish immigrants is taken captive after Indians raid her home. Along her journey, she discovers that one of the Ameri-

can Indians holding her hostage had a vision of her as a great gift to his people. In order to fulfill the young man’s vision, she must become his “spirit keeper.”

Laugheed said readers of the story have picked out their own interpretation to the book. Some may view the story as a romance, others a lesson in history or a view of life’s purpose.

“Pretty much everyone who read it has a different view on it,” Laugheed said, adding, “The book reflects what you bring to it.”

Just as Laugheed’s personal life inspired her published book, so did Bell’s. A self-described “OK student,” Bell reluctantly read Reader’s Digest in high school at the urging of his grandmother. He read an article about the euphoric runner’s experience, also known as “runners high,” which led to an undergraduate research project on the topic.

Bell applied to Temple University for post-graduate study. When he met with a Temple professor during an interview, Bell enthusi-astically described his passion for his research project, “Runner’s High.”

The professor, as it turns out, coined the popular phrase and Bell was not only accepted into the university; he received a graduate assistanceship that paid for school. Ultimately his career choice led him to his vocation, which he calls “vacation.”

The book is called “The Hinge” because, according to Bell, a hinge is what connects a door. Without that hinge, a door is just a wall. In life, he said, hinges are those tragedies people face.

“Whether we like it or don’t like it, (tragedy) happens. From that point, things change when people can use their tragedy as an opportunity. Even though it’s painful that’s where real growth oc-curs,” he said.

Robert Bell, a sport psychology coach, has worked with champions on the PGA Tour. His inspirations include athletes such as three-time Olympic gold medalist Rowdy Gaines. Bell is the author of the recently released nonfiction inspirational book, “The Hinge: The Importance of Mental Toughness,” now available for purchase.

as to why my normal, hairless facial appear-ance has been altered. Several times per day, conversations begin with some remark about the motivation for my unshorn countenance and end with often intimate retellings of how men’s cancers have affected them or those they love. In a whisker of time, I’ve learned formerly unknown personal details of men and women that I’ve known for many years. Sometimes the stories are heartwarming and other times they are tragic. But a silly beard turned out to be the key to open the dialogue.

I’ve also taken note that these things itch – a lot. Those experienced in matters hirsute tell me that the sensitivity to my new outwear will pass in a matter of days. But even as the scratching dimin-ishes, I hope our attention to men’s health remains.

In solidarity with my fellow Y chromosomes, this year I am participating in the annual ritual known by the rather clever portmanteau, Movmember (http://us.movember.com). Much like the wearing of pink in October for National Breast Cancer Awareness Month shows solidarity and support for those affected by the disease, men are encouraged to allow the hair on their upper lip to grow unfettered for 31 days to bring forward discussions of prostate and testicular cancer and other health concerns related to males.

While the international movement really only calls upon us to grow mustaches, I’ve decided to make the awkward transition from clean-shaven to burly by allowing for a full beard – perhaps to be reduced only at month’s end. Like much of life’s passage this has been a learning experi-ence. Initially, I undertook the mission as more of a lark than a serious commitment.

Since President Barack Obama loves to badmouth the wealthy, we thought we’d take a moment to defend them. Well, one of them, anyway. Bill Gates, of Microsoft fame (Yes, he built that!). As you may have heard, through the work of The Bill and Melinda Gates Foun-dation, he has helped to eradicate polio in India. Now, we know Obama won’t brag about this, but we will. Eradicated polio in India! Just to be clear, Obama is now increasing the taxes on people like Gates, thinking it is more impor-tant to send yet more money to Washington. Oh, sure, that money will be much better spent in D.C. But, we should be fair: Obama did eradicate any semblance of a viable healthcare Website, didn’t he?

We also find it amusing listening to Obama refer to these soon-to-be-cancelled policies as sub-par. Well, shouldn’t it be our choice whether we want to keep a sub-par product?

When was the last time you had a “pinch me” moment? You know, when you say to someone, “Pinch me, I think I’m dreaming”? That relaxing vacation on the beach? When you found the love of your life? When you won a jackpot at a casino?

Two “pinch me” moments have occured just recently for two Fishers residents who had just published their novels. I was excited for them; a bit envious, maybe, assuming that luck had followed them wherever they went. As I began to talk with one of the authors, K.B. Laugheed, about her recent historical novel, “The Spirit Keeper,” she told her own personal story of publishing a book for the first time. This was the 13th book she had written (who says 13 is unlucky?). When her mother died, she needed therapy. This therapy was in the form of a book that literally spilled out of her. She turned her own tragedy into a novel, just released, and already has many excellent re-views on the internet.

I also met with Dr. Rob Bell, a sport psy-chologist who wrote his second book, a non-fiction inspiration read called “The Hinge: The Importance of Mental Toughness.” In this book, there are 38 individual stories of celebrities and athletes whose successes were not when they had planned them to be; in fact, many assumed their success would be fleeting. For example, Olympic gold-medalist swimmer Row-dy Gaines had planned to enter the Olympics four years earlier than he did due to a setback. Those extra four years of endless practice and determination caused wins that may not have happened otherwise.

My “pinch me” moments occur when I real-ize, after talking with many talented individu-als in the community, that it is never too late for your dreams. Many of these individuals have that enthusiastic spark in their smile or eye, and their fervor for life inspires me for the rest of the day, even if I wake up in a bad mood.

“Peace Out!”, this uniquely named anthology retails for an amazingly low, low price of $15.99, making it the perfect gift for friends and foes alike. Didn’t know I’d written one? Well now you do, so buy it. You can easily order 10 or 20 authentic copies at either Amazon.com or Barne-sandnoble.com, and still have time to get your kids to basketball practice.

What’s it about? Me, of course. Along with my bald husband and crazy kids and a since-de-ceased gecko, among other things. In a nutshell, “Peace Out!” is a collection of the best articles from my first three years of writing for Current. That means for most of you, it’s brand new hilari-ous material, including but not limited to, how Doo came to be called Doo and my infamous observations of a certain 2007 PTO fundraiser which nearly got me fired. Even if you’ve had the honor of reading my stuff since the begin-ning (lucky you), my book will be a glorious walk down memory lane.

Well, if not for me, then think about how many of your out-of-town friends and family who would just love to come home to a real, honest, highly entertaining look at parenting and marriage, but sadly cannot because they don’t receive Current. It’s a disgrace, certainly, but now you can help. Buy my book and send some Christmas/Hanukkah love their way. What’s a measly $15.99 (plus shipping and handling) when it comes to the happiness of your peeps?

Bottom line, folks, the last check from my pub-lishing company, Dog Ear, was only $3.79, profit from my total book sales in October, and I only have a few weeks until Santa is scheduled for a drive-by.

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

Military historian and arms collector Fred Rop-key died this past week. He opted out of medical treatments that might have prolonged his life

for a few months. After 84 years, he was not surrendering. He had simply decided to face this final

challenge unarmed.Ropkey was no fan of war. Few people are.

Yet he knew that every tank, aircraft and piece of artillery he recovered was not only a work of exquisite design, but combined they represented the hundreds, maybe thousands, of lives that had been lost – or saved.

His passion, which was almost an obsession, got its roots early. At age 8, his parents gave him a World War I sword and a Civil War pistol belonging to his great-grandfather. At age 16 he bought an armored World War II scout car and drove it to school. He tried to enlist in the Marines, but he was too young. He would later serve during the Korean conflict as a battalion commander.

Ropkey’s collection of arms grew over the years, and he stowed his thousands of acquisi-tions on the sprawling 100 acres of family land (dating back to the Great Depression) on the northwest side of Indianapolis. At the time, says his longtime mechanic, Skip Warvel, the idea was to simply find a place to restore those trea-sures. But it was really more a warehouse than

Good bye, Freda showcase. In 2005, Ropkey moved everything to Crawfordsville, signaling a new vision and purpose.

“Build it and they will come,” his wife, Lani, recalls him saying. Then he added, “Who would think that a little pole barn on a 50-acre cornfield in Crawfordsville could change so many lives?” It was no longer simply a standing building; it was a building that stood for something. He called it the Ropkey Armor Museum.

To the end, Ropkey loved digging into history and uncovering the human stories behind each piece he salvaged. “We can fix that,” he would say to Warvel. The mission was simple: No mat-ter the degree of disrepair, it was an obligation to resurrect the piece, honoring those who had lived and died in it. “Everything in the museum runs, flies, or floats, but the cannons don’t fire,” said Warvel, who uses the original spec manuals to make repairs.

Fred Ropkey could converse knowledgeably (and endlessly) about every U.S. combat mission in WWII. At the end of his life, he chose not to share his plight with others, instead enduring his cancer pain privately. This was the one battle Fred Ropkey did not want to talk about.

I’ve been getting some peculiar e-mails lately.I realize this does not set me apart in any

way. Let’s face it, if you have access to a com-puter and the Weird Wide Internet thingie – and that takes in about 85 percent of us – you’re going to get some e-mails that raise your

eyebrows, with subjects ranging from untold riches awaiting in Nigerian bank accounts to methods of enlarging (or diminishing) various body parts, to faucets. No kidding. I get a lot of messages about faucets.

It all comes back to something I’ve repeated at the dinner table every Thanksgiving for the last (mumble) years: Give us humans an amaz-ing piece of technology, and we’ll find a way to abuse it. Invent the car, we’ll run it into a tree. Put the telephone in widespread use, and imme-diately someone will start calling during supper to ask for money. Come up with TV, and you’ll get 600 channels with nothing worth watching. We can’t help it.

Thanks.

That should do it, don’t you think? Then I can go use the one feature of e-mail technology that I have come to appreciate most deeply – the delete button. But not before I claim all those riches awaiting me in Nigeria.

Hauling out the holly at Beef & Boards

THEATrE

By Karen Kennedy • [email protected]

As Auntie Mame says, “We need a little Christ-mas, right this very minute.”

“A Beef and Boards Christ-mas,” is a healthy holiday dose of singing, dancing, festive

costumes and, of course, turkey with all the trimmings.

This year’s show features an all-new quar-tet presenting several new arrangements in a glittering celebration of the season. The show opens Nov. 29 and runs through Dec. 23.

“This show is our Christmas greeting to the city,” said Beef and Boards spokesperson Patri-cia Rettig. “We have families who have included us in their Christmas tradition since their chil-dren first came to see Santa, and those children are in college now. There are thirty-two perfor-mances, so you really can’t miss it.”

This year’s production features sixteen singer-dancers and an on-stage band of seven. Several of the lead cast members are cur-rently in the cast of “Les Miserables,” including featured vocalist Kelly Teal Goyette, along with Bobbi Bates, Peter Scharbrough and Dominic Sheahan-Stahl. Newcomer Emily Rogge rounds out the group.

Goyette, who made her Beef and Boards debut in “Les Miserables,” spends much of her time on the road. She hails from Williston,

Vt., but her home base now is New York City. Since 2008, she has traveled the country with national touring companies of “Annie,” “Grease”

and “Shrek the Musical.” “I’ve spent more time subletting my apart-

ment than sitting in it,” she said. And Goyette said she is excited to be a part

of the Christmas show. “I get to sing my favorite Christmas song of

all time, ‘O Holy Night,’” Goyette said. “I’m also doing several songs that are new to me; it’s great to learn Christmas songs I’ve never heard of before. And the members of the quartet have said that the new arrangements are very cool; some jazzy, some bluesy. They’re all very excited about how the rehearsals are going.”

In addition to some new holiday songs, the set list includes traditional holiday favorites and songs designed to get toes tapping, such as “Boogie Woogie Santa Claus” and “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree.” Returning audience members will recognize the familiar faces of co-hosts Deb Wims and Kenny Shepard, who have hosted the show since its inception.

And, of course, there’s a star on a backstage dressing room door with Santa’s name on it, so bring your list and don’t forget to be nice.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a multitude of pictures, combined with lyrical

words and music, must make for an evening that is anything but sleepy.

That combination can be found when New York-based master storyteller, musician, poet and actor David Gonzalez brings his unique pre-sentation of “Sleeping Beauty” to the Tarkington Theatre Nov. 22 and 23.

“This is my interpretation of the classic fairy tale,” said Gonzalez in a phone interview from Chicago. “It is told entirely in rhymed verse, ac-companied by musical and visual elements: a wonderful video, a ‘living storybook’ if you will, created by Karen Jenson, and a lush, musical tapestry in the form of Bach’s Goldberg Varia-tions performed on piano by Daniel Kelly. The show has lots of layers to it, but it also stays true to the essence of the story.”

“I have performed this show from New York to Alaska to Florida,” Gonzalez said. “And now we come to Carmel. And this show is particularly special because Karen Jenson’s family is all from Carmel, so the whole family will be at the show to celebrate.”

The show combines poetry, visual storytelling and music in a developing art form that Gonzalez continues to create. It’s just another extension of his talents. He is a Drama-Desk-nominated art-ist who has toured nationally and internationally.

While “Sleeping Beauty” is known as a chil-dren’s tale, this interpretation will be of interest

family performances,” said John Hughey, the Cen-ter for the Performing Arts director of external

relations. “That focus launched this past June when we presented ERTH’s Dinosaur Petting Zoo, the large-scale outdoor puppetry show which attracted not only families but youth groups and schools. We have also offered ukulele and opera classes for young people and the ‘Peanut Butter & Jam’ events and ‘Sleeping Beauty’ continue our commitment to family programming.”

Thanksgiving dinnerBBQ Turkey

Original recipe makes 12 servingsIngredients: 2 cups butter, divided; 1 (15 pound) whole turkey, neck and giblets removed; 1/4 cup chicken soup base; 3 sweet onions, peeled and cut into wedges; 5 apples, cored and cut into wedges; 2 tablespoons minced garlic, or to taste; 1 (750 mil-liliter) bottle dry white wineDirections: Preheat a gas grill for low heat. Rub some of the butter all over the turkey, inside and out, then rub all over with chicken base. Cut remain-ing butter into cubes and toss with onions, apples, and garlic in a large bowl. Stuff the bird with this mixture and place in a disposable aluminum roast-ing pan. Fold the turkey skin around the neck area to cover the hole and then turn the turkey over and pour wine into the opening at the other end until the turkey is full or the bottle is empty. Set the turkey breast side up. Place the roasting pan on the grill and cover loosely with aluminum foil. If you have a pop up timer or heat safe meat ther-mometer, insert it into the turkey breast. Close the lid. Roast until the temperature in the breast reads 170 degrees F (75 degrees C) and the temperature

in the thickest part of the thigh reads 180 degrees C (80 degrees C), about 4 hours depending on the temperature of your grill. When the temperature is getting close, remove the aluminum foil covering the turkey and allow it to brown during the final min-utes of cooking. If it starts to brown too much, just cover it back up. Allow the turkey to rest for at least 20 minutes before carving.

Broccoli with garlic and pine nutsIngredients: 1/2 cup pine nuts, 4 garlic cloves, 4 bunches broccoli, 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 2 to taste salt and pepperDirections: In a small dry skillet, toast the pine nuts, stirring constantly to brown evenly. Don’t burn!Chopthegarlicfine.Setaside.Separatethebroccoli into florets. Peel the skinnier stems and cut into cubes (or reserve the stems for cream of broccoli soup). In a large pot of rapidly boiling salt-ed water, blanch the broccoli for about 8 minutes, until it is crisp-tender and still bright green. Drain thoroughly in a colander. In a sauté pan, heat the olive oil. Add the garlic and let it soften for a few minutes. Be careful not to let it burn. Then add the broccoli and pine nuts to the pan. Toss carefully to coat everything well with the garlicky oil. Salt and

pepper to taste. Turn into a warmed serving bowl andserveatonce.Enjoy!

Caramel Pumpkin Tiramisu Ingredients: 18 crisp ladyfinger cook-ies, 1/4 cup maple syrup, 2 tablespoons bourbon, 1 cup heavy whipping cream, divided, 1/4 cup sugar, 3/4 cup solid-pack pumpkin, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 4 ounces PHILA-DELPHIA® Cream Cheese, softened, 3 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar Sauce: 3/4 cup caramel ice cream top-ping, 2 teaspoons bourbonDirections: Using a serrated knife, cut six ladyfingers in half widthwise. In a shallow bowl, combine maple syrup and bourbon. Dip six whole ladyfingers and six halves into mixture; arrange in a single layer in an 8-in. square dish. In a small bowl, beat 1/2 cup cream until it begins to thicken. Gradually add sugar; beat until soft peaks form. In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin, cinnamon, ginger and salt; fold in whipped cream. In another bowl, beat the cream cheese, confectioners’ sugar and remaining cream until thickened. Spread half of pumpkin mixture over ladyfingers in the dish. Dip remaining ladyfingers; arrange over the top. Top with remaining pumpkin mixture and the cream cheese mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight. In a micro-wave, heat caramel sauce; stir in bourbon. Serve warm with tiramisu.

Founded by Fishers resident Amanda Milner, Fair Haven offers free, temporary housing and support

for out-of-town and in-need families and pa-

tients of IU Health University Hospital and IU Simon Cancer Center in Indianapolis.

“Since IU health in downtown India-napolis is a referral center, it draws people from across the country,” Milner, executive director of the Fair Haven Foundation and a cancer survivor herself, said. “Many patients have to stay for a prolonged amount of time from several days to several months, and Fair Haven provides a place for them to stay close to the hospital.”

The 12 apartments are necessary if families want to make the journey to IU Health to be able to stay with the patients.

“All housing is free of charge to patients and families. Housing is right across street from university hospital with full kitchens, a washer and dryer, and more,” Milner said. “It’s designed to take that burden off of the family and off of the patient. It’s just one piece they don’t have to worry about.”

To support the apartments, Fair Haven is host-ing a Parisian Flea Market at the Mustard Seed Gardens, 77 Metsker Lane, Noblesville, to help raise funds from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Nov. 23. The

Market to support hospital patientsflea market will sell antique and vintage items that have been donated or collected from estate sales. A European home store in Fishers called Twigs will be working with Fair Haven, and some

of their new Christmas items will be available as well.

“We wanted something that reached out to the community more and got Fair Haven more recognized and was a fun event for the community,” Diann Lueb-ker, event director, said. “We wanted to do something that people could come to and have a good time and do it in a way

that benefits Fair Haven.” “I think that we have such a great medical

center and patients coming here from all over the world to fight for their life. It is so important that the community helps serve those patients and their families,” Milner said.

Preparing for the unexpected – What happens to student loan debt when the borrower dies? The answer: It depends, based on the type of loan. The U.S. Dept. of Education says federal student loans will be discharged upon death. Parent PLUS federal loans can be discharged if either the student or the parent borrower dies. With private student loans the answer is more complex, but generally lenders will not forgive loans after death. It’s common for private student loans to require a co-signer, often the student’s parent. In most cases, banks expect co-signers to assume responsibility for the loan after a death. There are exceptions: Sallie Mae’s “Smart Option Student Loan,” launched in 2009, forgives loans when students die. But generally, banks will attempt to collect payment from the deceased’s estate, and then turn to co-signers. Source: MSN Money

Commentary by Jamie Ianigro

Question from Harold P. from Fishers: We got our first dose of winter weather this week,

and I was reminded that people completely forget how to drive when snow hits the

ground. I witnessed a minor fender-bender and am wondering what I need to do if that happens to me.

Response from Jamie Ianigro: Experienc-ing an automobile accident is always scary, no matter how minor. Your independent insurance agent should be able to provide you with a card to keep in your glove box to remind you of every-thing you need to do if an accident occurs. Here is what we recommend.

1. Take a deep breath and assess the situa-tion. Get your vehicle and passengers out of further harm if the vehicle is still operable.

2. Make sure that no one in your vehicle requires immediate medical attention. Check the occu-pants of any other vehicle involved next.

3. Call the police. It doesn’t matter how mi-nor the accident is. Having a police report filed will make your claim process much smoother.

4. Exchange insurance information and record the details. Make sure the other driver’s in-surance is not out of date. Get their phone number, address, license plate number and the make and model of their car to make filing your claim easier.

5. Pull out your camera phone and snap some pictures of your car from every angle and of any damage it now has.

Fender-bender preparedness6. Obtain a copy of the police report and call

your independent agent to file a claim.Driving without insurance coverage in Indiana

is illegal and a great way to end up with a sus-pended license or serious financial problems if you are involved in an accident. The starting point for insurance in Indiana is the required state-min-imum coverage. The minimums are $25,000 per injured person, $50,000 per accident and $10,000 for property damage. The current cost of medical expenses and auto repair make it pretty easy to see that those amounts are not going to get you very far when it’s time to settle a claim. They also provide you zero protection from motorists who drive around without insurance or with the inad-equate state minimum insurance.

I recommend limits of $250,000 per injured person, $500,000 per accident and $100,000 for property damage with an endorsement to pro-tect you from uninsured and underinsured mo-torists. These raised limits will also allow you to add a personal umbrella policy to further protect you in extreme cases. You can also get a nice discount by packaging these policies together with your homeowners policy. Adding compre-hensive and collision coverages and adjusting the cost of your deductibles is something you should talk with your independent agent about. Let me know if you have any further questions about this and drive safely.

Central Indiana building permit reports indicate that single-family permits increased 20 percent

in October compared to October 2012. There were 4,308 new home permits issued this year com-

pared to the 3,585 issued in 2012.“Although reports indicate a slight decrease

in permits from last month, we continue to see a significant increase over last year’s numbers,” said Steve Lains, CEO of the Builders Association of Greater Indianapolis. “Forecasters believe that we will continue to see steady increases in 2014. A slight decrease from last month was expected because of the time of year, but what’s ultimate-

ly important is the year-to-year overall increase which is moving in the right direction.”

A recent Kiplinger economic report found that the pent-up demand will continue to elevate permit numbers in 2014. According to that report, housing is critical to the U.S. economy.

“It’s not just from home sales, but in state and local government revenue, sales of furniture, appliances, etc., and the spin-off from income earned by construction crews, realtors and more,” the report said.

In central Indiana the permits issued through October 2013 are estimated to create a total economic impact of $771 million in local income, $175 million in local taxes and 13,062 local jobs, year to date.

TUNITED WAY’S FOCUS ON

BASIC NEEDSIN HAMILTON COUNTY

The picture to the left was painted by Robbie, a 2-year-old blond-haired, blue-eyed Hamilton County resident who died at the hands of his abusive father in 1991. Robbie and his 3-year-old sister, Brittany, were killed when their drunk father drove the family car through a stop sign and over an embankment. They died at his hands just as he had threatened their mother would happen if she left him.

Robbie’s painting is a reminder that every Hamilton County neighborhood has at least one home where violence is occurring. Victims are paying a high price—often the ultimate price—at the hands of their abuser.

Though Robbie and Brittany’s story ended tragically, hundreds of other Hamilton County residents are getting the tools and support they need to survive domestic violence.

Anna was one of the “lucky” ones. She came to Alternatives Incorporated—a United Way agency providing shelter, education and intervention for victims of domestic abuse—after law enforcement rescued her. Having beaten her unconscious, Anna’s husband attempted to drown her. Anna’s message to other victims: “You are worthy to live a life of freedom. Alternatives gave me back my freedom.”

Each year Alternatives shelters 400 women and children and serves another 300 victims through outreach programs. Hamilton County residents comprise 37 percent of the victims served by Alternatives. Thanks to your United Way contributions, thousands of people like Anna are able to take the first step over the bridge from the life they want to leave behind to one of long-term security.

For more than 90 years, United Way has helped provide people in need with basic necessities like food, clothing, shelter and access to services that keep them safe and healthy. By helping people meet their most urgent needs today, we’re supplying them with the tools and knowledge to strive for a better life. That’s where United Way’s other community investments in education, income stability and health can make a huge difference. Because you give, United Way is investing in a network of programs and services that is not just helping people improve their own lives, but it’s actually changing our community for the better.

Please help us continue to serve Hamilton County residents in need by making a contribution to United Way. Visit uwci.org/give today.

Commentary by Jordan Fischer

QUESTION: “Hello Jordan. I enjoy your column. I hope you can clear something up for me. My

husband and I were driving into Muncie over the weekend and saw a

billboard inviting us to visit ‘Historical Cammack Station.’ I thought it sounded awkward. Should it be ‘historic’ or ‘historical?’ Are these words inter-changeable as adjectives? We squabbled about it all the way to Ball State. Help here please.” (Liz Schnei-der, Carmel)

ANSWER: Thank you for writing in, Liz. Hopefully I can clear up your argu-ment without causing any lingering marital strife.

If you were to look up the word “historic” in a dictionary, you’d see two entries. The first: “Hav-ing importance in or influence on history.” The second: “Historical.”

Helpful, isn’t it?The situation with “historic” and “historical” is

this: They mean the same thing … except when they don’t.

To quote our aforementioned dictionary: “‘Historic’ refers to what is important in history … also what is famous or interesting because of its association with persons or events in history. ‘Historical’ refers to whatever existed in the past,

‘Historic’ vs. ‘historical’

grAMMAr gUY

whether regarded as important or not … also anything concerned with history or the study of the past.”

Let’s put those definitions to use. Abraham Lincoln gave a historic speech at Gettysburg, whereas my professor gave a historical lecture about the Civil War. December 7, 1941, was a his-toric day (“a date that will live in infamy”). John Hersey’s “Hiroshima” is a historical account of

the first wartime detona-tion of an atomic bomb.

To boil it down, “his-toric” should be used for important or influential aspects of history. “His-torical” should be used for everything else. The Battle

of the Bulge was a historic battle. A rifle used at the battle, however, is a historical weapon.

At the risk of offending the good people of Muncie, I would venture to say that Cammack Station is correctly identified as a “historical” location. But, with a 90 percent on UrbanSpoon, it does sound like a good place to grab lunch – historic or otherwise.

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

“Historic” should be used for important or influential aspects of history. “Historical” should be

used for everything else.

Commentary by Donald Knebel

The library of Trinity College in Dublin houses thousands of rare and ancient books. Visitors

from around the world queue for up to an hour to see just one of them. Two volumes of the famous

Book of Kells, now separated into four volumes, are always displayed in the library’s Treasury room.

The Book of Kells, one of Ireland’s greatest treasures, is a lavishly illustrated edition of the four Gospels, scripted in Latin. The illustration style is known as insular, but the Book of Kells is in a league of its own, not only for the extraordi-nary quality of its many illustrations but for their originality and unexpected playfulness. One illus-tration shows a green-striped cat trying to stop a mouse from eating a communion wafer. Anoth-er shows a man wrestling a peacock, an ancient symbol of immortality. The letter beginning one passage is formed from a man strangling a bird. So unusual is the colorful imagery of the Book of Kells that Umberto Eco, an Italian historical nov-elist, wrote recently that it was the “product of a cold-blooded hallucination,” a fact proudly noted in the guidebook sold in the library’s gift shop.

Exactly when the Book of Kells was created is not known. It was likely produced in the late eighth century by Irish monks seeking to pro-mote their Christian faith. A full-page illustration contains the West’s oldest surviving manuscript

So similar is this style to the art of early Egyptian Christians (Copts) that scholars have long theorized a connection between Irish and Coptic missionaries. That theory gained greater credence with the recent discovery in Ireland of a fragment of the Psalms written on papyrus, a material native to Egypt but unknown in Ireland.

Frosty windows and a dusting of snow on the lawn is motivation for completing critical winter

preparation duties. It’s not the most joyful thing to do, but just as necessary as mulching

landscaped beds in the spring. Here’s a glimpse at my personal list and a note of encouragement.

1. Clean gutters and downspouts are per-haps the most critical. As snow melts, clogged gutters can create ice dams and eventually cause moisture in your base-ment or crawl space.

2. Inspect the outside of your house for anything alarming … loose shingles, HVAC hoses dangling, etc. Call your handyman for assistance.

3. Change landscape lighting and coach lamp bulbs while the weather is mild and simul-taneously clean the lens.

4. A respectful layer of mulch is especially critical on azaleas, rhododendrons, dog-wood trees and spruce. Buy a few bags for ease of spreading.

5. Take an inventory of ice melt, snow shovel,

windshield scraper, gloves and boots be-fore you need them.

6. Properly outfit the car with items in #5 too.7. Drain gas from lawn equipment or fill with

fuel stabilizer. Take any equipment that needs repair to your favorite shop.

8. Drain and store garden hoses … or not. Mine have survived 3 years outside, but it’s a risk. Take “at risk” urns inside after emptying.

9. Clean beds are happy beds … same with your lawn too. Remove leaves and other debris. Your neighbors will be filled with joy.

10. Need firewood or bird seed? Stock up now.Finally, and most importantly, take a few

minutes to be grateful and help someone else be happy. Most of us are in need of a few heal-ing words and you can make a difference. Be a builder of people, not a destroyer.

Upholstery: Choices, choices

DECOrATINg

Vicky Earley is the principal designer for Artichoke Designs in Carmel. If you have an interior design question, please contact [email protected].

Commentary by Vicky Earley

If you have ever tried to order custom uphol-stery on your own, you can relate. Upholstered

furniture is a Rubik’s cube of options. One mistake and the piece

can be an absolute dog. One unex-pected but calculated touch and it can be spectacular.

Just the arm options available make it incredibly confusing for the inexperienced to make selections.

First there is the rolled arm. You have seen this countless times as it is a traditional look that works well with loose cushions and provides easy seating.

The track arm is square on top and will take a piece of furniture down a more modern path. The textile selection is tricky with the track arm in that pattern matching becomes almost impossible.

The English arm is a first cousin to the rolled arm but it is typically lower and is paired with tight backs rather than cushioned backs.

The tuxedo arm is the current darling of the upholstery world. It is typically the same height as the back of the sofa giving it a fabulous focal point position in a room.

Once the preferred arm style has been deter-mined, the legs enter the picture. Here we really get complicated because it’s about more than

just personal preference. It has to work with the arm and cushion selection or it will end up being an upholstery “mutt.”

The turned leg is the most traditional of the options out there. Some will be simple, others quite ornate.

The block leg, which includes bun-type legs, offers a casual, laid back

feeling. It can go very modern if it covers a large expanse of the piece.

The pin leg is a throwback to the post-modern era. It is that

long, cone-shaped leg that would be found on virtually every chair on the television series, “Madmen.”

If all those choices weren’t enough, the type of finish will impact the style. A rich walnut will tap down a modern leg while a high gloss lacquered color will take the most traditional turned leg and make it kicky and modern.

Regardless of your style, a plan is critical. It really isn’t about random choice based on what looks good on a sample ring. It is imperative to have a vision of the completed piece or that up-holstery mutt just might be barking up your tree.

Commentary by David Decker

Because they take up so much visual space, countertops are one of the keystones of kitchen

design. It’s amazing to see the difference that new countertops can make in a room, even if all of

the other elements (such as flooring or cabinetry) stay the same. On the flip side, damaged or dat-ed looking countertops can drag down the aes-thetics and functionality of your kitchen. If you only have the time or money to make a single upgrade in the kitchen, chances are that invest-ing in new countertops is a smart way to go.

When selecting new countertops, the first thing you’ll need to consider is the type of mate-rial. Each material has certain positive and nega-tive aspects that you should be aware of before making a purchasing decision. Stone (such as granite and quartz) has become one of the most popular choices for homeowners looking to up-grade their kitchen countertops. Stone is easy to clean, durable against heat and resistant to bac-terial buildup. It is also scratch-resistant, while other options are not.

While stone is a popular choice, it’s far from the only choice. Also available on the market are solid surfaces and laminates. Solid surfaces are engineered from acrylic or polyester plastics, while laminates are made from a plastic that is adhered to particleboard. These physical proper-ties are important to know, because they play a

Investing in new countertopsbig role in affecting the functionality of the mate-rial. In terms of functionality, stone options are inherently more durable than solid surfaces. Be-cause laminates and solid surfaces can scratch, dirt and bacteria can hide in these crevasses.

The decision comes down to your personal preference. Great looking countertops can be made from any of these materials. However, if you are willing to make the investment, choos-ing a stone material may pay off in the long run. Stone materials are generally more expensive than other options, but they are typically more long lasting and valued by potential homebuyers. If you know that a move might be coming in the near future, stone might be the way to go.

With all these options and considerations to weigh, selecting new countertops can be a dif-ficult task. If you’re looking for a little guidance, The Affordable Companies Website is a great resource full of blog posts, links and photos that can help you make the best selection for your home. No two homes require the exact same solution, so get creative and search for a coun-tertop that will improve the look and functional-ity of your kitchen.
