The Town of Fishers and Duke Energy installed two electric vehicle charging stations at the Fishers Train Station ear-lier this month.

“We are continuously striving to improve the sustainability of the Town, and installing electric vehicle charging stations is one step toward that goal,” Renee Cox, a Fishers Town Council member, said in a press release.

Duke Energy, as part of a new initia-tive called Project Plug-IN from Energy Systems Network, installed the new equipment at no cost to Fishers resi-dents. Capital for the project came from American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding.

Operating energy is the only aspect of running the new chargers that costs

the town. In two years, Duke will transfer the ownership of the stations to the town. In the meantime, the energy company plans to gather information on customer behavior and how charging electric vehicles – such as the Chevy Volt and Nissan Leaf – impacts the power grid, which ultimately impacts Duke’s ability to provide energy for its custom-ers, Sue O’Leary, Duke Energy associate project director, said.

Currently, any electric car owner can pull up to the Fishers Train Station and recharge their vehicle at no cost – but the Town of Fishers has the option to set a fee in order to recoup energy costs.

O’Leary said the opportunity and initiative is a critical part of Duke’s goal to provide clean energy for its customers and not impact them adversely.

For more information on the Project Plug-IN visit duke-energy.com/plugin.

Road construction projects abound in Fishers. Be prepared for your commute with this update. Information was provided by Jeff Hill, Town of Fishers director of engineering, fishers.in.us and Nathan Riggs, media realations director at IN-DOT Greenfield District.96th Street and Allisonville Road Project

what it is: The intersection improvement project will install a “Michigan left” turn lane that should reduce wait times.

Progress and Completion: Intersection improvements are on schedule and should be completed by November 2012. The road will be open, but cosmetic work could continue through next year.

Estimated total Cost: $8.63 million Roundabout at 131st Street

and Lantern Road what it is: A roundabout will replace the cur-

rent four-way stop, in an attempt to alleviate traffic in the area. The road is closed for the next 30 days.

Progress and Completion: The intersection is set to reopen before the new school year begins.

Estimated total Cost: $761,000 126th Street Project

what it is: Construction at 126th Street be-tween Promise Road and Westmorland Drive has three phases. The project aims to widen the two-lane road to a four-lane divided roadway, as well as revitalize paths and sidewalks along the corridor. Signal installation is another aspect of the construction project. Expect partial closures.

Progress and Completion: Phase II of the project will be completed by the end of June, but phase III won’t be finished until November this year.

Estimated total Cost: $17,976,681.57131st Street and Ind. 37

what it is: A handful of projects along Ind. 37 will begin this month. These projects include pavement resurfacing, added turn lanes and construction of a new road at 135 Place, con-necting Britton Park Drive and Ind. 37 in an effort to spur development.

Progress and Completion: Construction starts within the next few weeks and is slated for completion in the fall.

Estimated total Cost: $3 million Roundabout at Fall Creek Road and

Brook School Road what it is: A roundabout will eliminate the

intersection at Fall Creek Road and Brook School Road. The intersection will be partially closed. Eastbound and westbound traffic will be maintained.

Progress and Completion: The roundabout is still in the design process. Its start may be pushed back to the fall.

Estimated total Cost: Construction costs $1.1 million, according to Jeff Hill, Town of Fishers director of engineering, and includes resurfacing Fall Creek to just west Brook School Road.

INDOT and Hamilton County Projectswhat it is: INDOT closed the Allisonville

Road bridge over I-465 and began improve-ments on I-69. The Allisonville Road project is a conversion to a single-point urban interchange, which will allow for all left-turn motions to happen at the same time. Turn lanes will also be added so the bridge will ultimately have a total of five lanes going each way. The exit ramps will remain open throughout construction. Com-muters on I-69 will experience lane shifts as IN-DOT adds new ramps, a two-lane flyover and turn lanes. The county is replacing a bridge on Cumberland Road, closing the road. It should

be reopened by the first week of August. Progress and Completion: The bridge over

I-465 is slated for completion in approximately three months. Nathan Riggs, media relations director from INDOT Greenfield district, said improvements on northbound I-69 should wrap by November 15, but southbound improve-ments won’t be completed until October 2013.

Estimated total Cost: INDOT’s bridge over I-465 costs $19 mil-lion. The improvements to I-69 cost $18.2 million. The county’s bridge project on Cumberland Road is esti-mated to cost $550,000.

For local business Simply Skin Medspa, cus-tomer service and cutting-edge technology are the keys to success.

Along with an awarding-winning facial, the spa offers customized treatments meant to man-age weight and aging.

Simply Skin office manager Amanda Voss said the treatment plans are based on each individual customer’s lifestyle, as everyday decisions can have a major impact on a person’s skin.

“When people are eating better, they look better,” Voss said.

Along with the unique treatments tailored to each patient, the Simply Skin’s staff knows every customer that comes through the door, accord-ing to Voss.

Owner Holly Sheldon Paquin opened the business in 2005, and since then, the doctors and staff have been building relationships in the community.

One of Simply Skin’s services offers a different approach to weight loss – cool sculpting.

During the process, fat is sucked into a cham-

ber and then frozen. Once the fat cells begin to freeze, a process called apoptosis initiates. Es-sentially, the fat cells die and the patient sees the results in about 90 days.

No matter what service a customer is seeking, a consultation precludes every process.

Voss said the goal of Simply Skin is to help its patrons feel like the best versions of themselves.

Last year, 50,000 people celebrated Independence Day at the 23rd Fishers Freedom Festival.

The crowd that swarmed the park was almost big enough to fill up Lucas Oil Stadium – a feat that would seem only accomplishable by an elite squad of NFL players.

Jennifer Kehl, executive director of Fishers Freedom Festival, hopes to see that kind of crowd again. Any more than that, and the event might be too big for Roy G. Holland Memorial Park – or even a Super Bowl-ready stadium – to handle.

This year, the festival features 140 craft vendors, 28 food vendors and more than 100 business vendors, and the theme is “Celebrating Fishers Spirit.”

Popular events return – including a 5K event (which had 1,300 participants last year, according to Kehl), the children’s tent and a disc dog competition.

Kehl said the two-day event will take more than 300 staff members and volun-teers working in shifts to run.

24 years, 24 festivals Tony Scott, vice president of the board

of directors at Fishers Freedom Festival, said even though the festival is 24 years old, the festival’s concept – providing a venue for the community to come togeth-er and have a good time – hasn’t changed.

But what started as a small town event is now a behemoth by comparison.

In 1989, a group of Fishers residents looking to plan an event to bring the com-munity together were catering to about 3,000 residents, according to Kehl.

Today, Fishers boasts more than 80,000 residents in more than 28,000 homes. In 1991, the Freedom Festival organizers formed a 501(c)3 not-for-profit corpora-tion to independently plan the annual fest that takes over the Roy G. Holland Memorial Park, as well as other events throughout the year.

After 24 years of Fishers growing, Free-dom Festival now accommodates a total of 268 vendors during the two-day period.

Kehl said the volunteering side of the festival is the easy part of organizing the two-day event. The difficulty is in accom-

modating the vendors. “They don’t under-

stand how much time and effort it does take, especially with all the vendors that we have,” Kehl said. “That’s the most challenging [as-pect] – is trying to keep things going and try-ing to make everyone happy.”

Along with busi-nesses trying to squeeze

into already tight spaces, Kehl said there is a misconception among the public on how the festival is funded. Sponsors at different levels, such as XFinity, help make the festival financially possible.

This year, the festival has a budget of more than $250,000. Partnerships and sponsorships grew along with the festival – and the organization has been able to keep it free, Kehl said.

During the year, the Town of Fishers makes an annual contribution to the orga-nization, and during the festival weekend, the town provides services – such as police support – to help handle logistics.

Scott said, “I think it’s a standard for the community now.”

COMMUNITY

Tips for festival-goers from Fishers Freedom Festival Executive Director Jennifer Kehl:

• Take advantage of the free shuttle service to and from the park at the fishers munici-pal complex and the alhuda foundation at Lantern road and sunblest boulevard. The shuttle runs from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. on saturday and 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. and after the fireworks show until 11:15 p.m. on sunday.

• bring the kids to the children’s tent. There’re always arts and crafts going on, and for one special event – K-id’s bmv – expect big lines.

• during the parade, please keep children out of the street. safety is a priority.

Scenes from last year's Fishers Freedom Festival


VIEWS Opinion

It is our position that parents, coaches and student athletes should be aware of the new State of Indiana Head Concussion Law that takes effect July 1. The new law states, “A player suspected of sustaining a concussion or head injury in a practice or game shall be removed from play at the time of injury and may not return to play until the student athlete has been evaluated by a licensed health care provider trained in the evaluation and management of concussions and head injuries. The athlete must receive written clearance to return to play from the health care provider.”

The new law places emphasis on aware-ness and detection of concussions and prohibits reentry of the athlete to practice and/or game play until they are cleared by a licensed health care professional. The law applies to students in grades 9 to 12 playing both interscholastic and intramural sports. However, the message applies to anyone who suspects they have a concussion.

We applaud the state of Indiana for en-acting a strict concussion awareness and management law. After all, a concussion is an injury to the brain, and we all need to understand the seriousness of not managing a brain injury properly. Brian Kelly, publisher, and

Fishers, it’s time to get your Freedom Festival on! This year’s event runs Saturday and Sunday, and from what we hear around the town, this one is destined to be the biggest and the best thus far. Music, entertainment, kids’ activities and, of course, the Xfinity Main Parade, among other attractions, await all of us. With regard to the parade, please remember that a few roads will be closed on Sunday from 3 p.m. to approximately 6:30 pm. Fishers Police Dept. officials may close roads a bit earlier if warranted. Lantern Road im-mediately south of 126th Street to 116th Street will be closed. The Lantern Road-and-116th Street intersection will be closed, as will all roads into the Thomas A. Weaver Memorial Municipal Complex, which means no access to Municipal Drive, the Fishers Post Office, the Fishers Public Library, Town Hall, BMV Fishers Branch, Train Station, Fishers Fire Headquarters and Fishers Police. However, the Lantern Road-and-126th Street intersection will be open. As soon as people have cleared the parade route, roads will be reopened. For more information, please visit fishersfreedomfestival.org.

•••We’re adding Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker

to our list of heroes. By first staunchly and successfully campaigning against mandatory membership in unions for workers and then surviving a recall election, we believe he has the right stuff to eventually make a serious run at the White House. The guy has smarts, guts and determination, all of which, in our view, have been sorely missing components of the modern-day Republican Party. He and Chris Christie, the fast-moving, no-nonsense governor of New Jersey, can lead our parade any day.

Commentary by terry Anker

It always seems easier to be the one gone traveling than to be the one home worrying about an errant wandering family member. Even as we are tucked-in safe and sound with-in the confine of our abodes, the place seems somewhat incomplete when a bed, usually filled by a child, spouse or partner, goes unoc-cupied. While our loved ones are traveling or otherwise out of our line-of-sight, we imagine all sort of calamity that might befall them. Yet when we are the ones boarding endless airplanes and crossing miles of uncharted ter-ritory, we seem more occupied with thoughts of logistics and connecting flights that of separation from the household. Is it true that absence makes the heart grow fonder?

Whatever the reason, it feels good to have the family all together and secure under one roof. Maybe it is a vestige of our cave dwelling ancestry. Perhaps it is just the way that God made us. Given the anxiety created when the family, sans me, is out for an overnight visit

to relatives, I wonder how I will manage the coming months that will include unfettered driving licenses, far-flung travel and eventual college.

One could argue that it is not logical, or even necessarily empirical (studies show that most accidents occur at home, so one could argue that our residences are the most danger-ous places to spend time), but we cling to the belief that behind all our front doors we are somehow more secure from the risks of life. Is it an edificial version of the security blanket from our youth? If we wrap ourselves in our personal manifestation of hearth imagining we are impervious to the hooligans and beasts lurking just on the other side, we can forestall the frightening realization that life is fleeting, fragile and precious.

laughs by Danielle wilson

I’ve joked about being old this year. I hit 40 in January and so have played up the geriatric consequences of being “middle aged.” I pee myself when I run, jump and cough; I only like to party at bars until about 7 p.m. (and by party I mean drink one beer, maybe two, if I’ve got a wild hair up my butt); I prefer strained peas from MCL, etc. But after my recent visit to Kings Island, I know for a fact that I am not a spring chicken anymore.

you know you’re old when you actually ar-rive 30 minutes before the park opens so you can apply ample amounts of sunscreen, divvy out snacks and dry clothes and thoroughly discuss what to do and where to meet if you get lost.

you know you’re old when you just can’t stomach the scrambler or whirl-away or any ride that involves spinning. No thank you, Vomit-inducer; I’ll be riding that bench in the shade for the next hour or so.

you know you’re old when you still refer to the kiddie section as Hanna Barbera Land.

you know you’re old when your favorite roll-er coaster is the one that allows you to lie down for a quick nap. Sure, you end up upside down and backward as you hurl toward your demise, but you get to lie down!

you know you’re old when you chastise your

child for having a panic attack on your new-favorite recliner ride. “Pull it together, Andrew! I’m trying to get some shut-eye!”

you know you’re old when instead of check-ing out all the hot guys in line at The Beast, all you can think about is how their stupid earrings and trucker hats make them look like meth ad-dicts. What would your mother say, young man?

you know you’re old when you are not only willing to pay double for a fast pass if it means you don’t have to wait in line for more than 10 minutes, but you are also able to pay because you have a salaried job with health benefits.

you know you’re old when, two hours before the park closes, you are ready to call it a night. Fireworks schmireworks.

We had a wonderful trip, despite the head-aches and meth addicts. Coincidentally, Kings Island was also celebrating its 40th birthday. Who knew? Peace out.

Commentary by Dr. Barry Eppley

Q: i have “puppet lines” around my mouth that get infected often. is there a reasonable answer to this problem?

A: What you refer to as puppet lines are tech-nically known as marionette lines. That is the groove area that develops as the face and jowls fall forward with aging against the fixed skin of the chin. There are multiple treatment options for marionette lines, depending upon how severe they are. For mild- to moderate-depth marionette lines, injectable fillers may be a reasonable option,

albeit a temporary one. For moderate to deeper marionette lines, injectable fillers are not very ef-fective at effacing them. Options include a jowl lift (mini-facelift), which really treats the cause of the problem, or direct excision of them, which may be a reasonable option in the older patient who does not want to undergo any form of a jowl lift.

Fixing those 'puppet lines'

At the end of this month, Westfield will be getting a new art gallery featuring original works not only beautiful but also affordable. Lori Miller, a resident of downtown Westfield, is looking to make art ownership possible for anyone entering her gallery Everyday Artisan.

“I want people to come in, fall in love with an original piece from a local artist and know they can have that piece without breaking the bank,” said Miller.

Keeping this philosophy in mind, all of the pieces Miller features will range from $25 to $500. It is a unique philosophy to base a gal-lery around, but Miller is hoping to help those looking to collect art but not looking to drop thousands or even tens-of-thousands of dollars on a single piece.

Miller has worked in art sales since 1989 so when the opportunity arose to open a gallery of her own, she embraced it.

““(Opening the gallery) kind of came as a fluke. Through (a friend), I was made aware of the space opening up,” said Miller. “I went to

bed that night, sat up at 11:13 p.m. and said to myself ‘I need to rent that space.’ It just kind of happened. I believe some of the best oppor-tunities in life happen that way.”

Although the execution may have been a fluke, the idea and the name have been devel-oping in Miller’s mind for quite some time.

“I came up with the name Everyday Artisan in 2000 and even considered opening a gallery under that name then while living in Seattle,” said Miller.

While important, the name is just a hint at

one of the most important aspects of the gal-lery for Miller.

“I grew up and my mom was an artist but she always had to work a real job as well. There are just so many great artists out there in simi-lar situations and that is who I really want to support,” said Miller.

Miller is hoping that Everyday Artisan can support not only the artists, but the community and the art lovers within it. She is planning to hold artist receptions once a month featuring a local artist and giving the public an opportunity to meet with the creators of the art on display and watch them create right in the gallery.

“A lot of success in selling art is educating the public about art and the artists themselves. Seeing the artists and talking with them directly adds a whole new dimension to art,” said Miller.

Miller plans to feature a wide array of art at Everyday Artisan including paintings, metalwork, furniture, jewelry, textiles and more.

Lori Miller is opening an art gallery in downtown Westfield focusing on originality and affordability.

Everyday Artisan

Everyday Artisan’s grand opening and first open house will be held on June 29 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the gallery (108 E. Main St., westfield) and will feature light hors d’oeuvres.

NIGHT & DAY Review

By Christian Sorrell • [email protected]

The Carmel Repertory Theatre’s 2011-12 season continues with their latest musical “Little Shop of Horrors.” This cult classic musical based on a 1960 black comedy of the same name first ran as an off-Broadway production in 1982 and later spawned a similarly cult classic film star-ring Rick Moranis in 1986.

Directed by Doug Peet and featuring a won-derful orchestra under the direction of Dick Leap, The Carmel Repertory Theatre’s production features an intimate set inside the Studio Theater that pairs well with the show’s memorable 1960s-era inspired setting and rock ‘n’ roll music.

Most impressive to me was how well the pro-duction took advantage of the Studio Theater’s limited space and managed to still feel like a very large-scale production. The show’s first large mu-sical number “Skid Row (Downtown)” featured the entire cast on stage at once without feeling crowded, awkward or impeded in any way. It was a wonderful way to start off the show.

Unfortunately, the particular performance I at-tended was tarnished by a number of technical mi-crophone issues. Hopefully, this was just specific to the single performance and is something that CRT was able to iron out for upcoming performances.

My experience with “Little Shop of Hor-

rors” was an impressive and extremely fun time. Doug Messinger’s Seymour was appropriately dweeby and loveable. Brooke DeBetties per-formed the role of Audrey flawlessly, complete with her iconic voice and a number of wonder-fully touching moments with Seymour. The Dentist, played be Jason Plake, stole the show in many ways during his hilarious laughing-gas accident at the end of Act 1.

The Carmel Repertory Theatre’s “Little Shop of Horrors” is a sure-fire way to spend a great and unique evening with friends that will leave you humming “Suddenly Seymour” and “Some-where That’s Green” for days to come.

'Little Shop' brings dark humor and great music to the Studio Theater

“the little Shop of Horrors” runs now through June 24. Performances are held thursday to Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sun-day at 2:30 p.m. tickets range from $18 to $23 and may be pur-chased by calling 767-6973 or visiting thecenterfortheper-formingarts.org.

ingredienTs: 10 spears fresh asparagus, trimmed, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, 5 bacon strips, halved lengthwise

direcTions: Place asparagus on sheet of waxed paper; coat with nonstick cook-ing spray. Sprinkle with pepper; turn to

coat. Wrap a bacon piece around each spear; secure ends with toothpicks. Grill, uncovered, over medium-low heat until bacon is crisp, turn-ing occasionally. Discard toothpicks.

Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus

recommendaTion: Pikes Clare Valley “Traditionale” Dry Riesling ($22)The dryness and acidity of a Riesling will contrast nicely with the fat and saltiness of the bacon and complement the flavor of the asparagus. A Grenache would also work well. High tannins and highly acidic wines will work best with this dish overall.

NEW HOPE FOR CHILDRENwith Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADD and ADHD

• SOCIALIZATION: Why is my child having dif�culty making friends?• IMPULSIVENESS: Why doesn’t my child understand consequences of his/her actions? • FOCUSING: Why does my child have problems paying attention in school and at home?• HYPERACTIVITY: Why can’t my child sit still, and has trouble getting to sleep or staying asleep? • ANGER: Why does my child display such anger and gets out of control with his/her emotions?If you can relate to any of these questions there is help.

ASD Treatment Center of Indiana | 317-818-0760 | www.AutismTreatmentClinics.com

“A child sneaks out of the house, runs away, is hyper, has minimal focus and can’t socialize with friends for more than a minute. That used to be our son, Jack.

People think the answer to autism and ADHD are psychiatric medicines, but we knew that was only going to cover up his real symptoms. Despite this, we tried several mainstream treatments that produced little to no results. In the six months that Jack has been on the protocol through ASD Treatment Clinics, he has experienced much improvement with his focus, learning ability, behavior and overall wellbeing.

Early intervention is very important for children on the autism spectrum and we thank God that we were led to the ASD Treatment Clinic. Jack now has a treatment that we can trust will improve not only his life but the lives of our entire family.”- Renee and Ted Zlotopolski, Arnold, MO

“While early intervention is critical, ASD Treatment Clinic taught us it is never too late with children on the Autism Spectrum. We have three teenage children on the spectrum with varying ranges of disabilities. With Genetic Consultants of Indiana, ASD Treatment Clinic we learned what was happening to our children from the inside out. I call it our roadmap. We found out what our children needed without guessing or trying experimental treatments. Plus we loved that our major medical insurance was accepted.” - Bob & Sharon Smith, IN

DOUGH Insurance

Commentary by Dena Shepherd Page

I saw a minor fender bender yesterday on my way to work and it got me thinking. What do I need to do if I am in one? – Samuel G. from Fishers

Being in an automobile accident, no matter how minor, is a scary thing to experience. Your independent insurance agent should be able to provide you with a card to keep in your glove box of everything you need to do if an accident occurs. Here is what we recommend:

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

2. Make sure that no one in your vehicle re-quires immediate medical attention. Check the occupants 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 insur-ance 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 that has resulted from the accident.

6. Obtain a copy of the police report and call your independent agent to file a claim.

coverage recommendaTionsDriving without insurance coverage in Indi-

ana is illegal and a great way to end up with a suspended license or serious financial problems if you are involved in an accident. The starting point for insurance in Indiana is the required state-minimum coverage. The minimums are $25,000 per injured person, $50,000 per ac-cident 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 comes 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 protect you from uninsured and underinsured motorists. These raised limits will also allow you to add a personal umbrella policy to further pro-tect you in extreme cases. You can also get a nice discount by packaging these policies together with your homeowner’s policy. Adding com-prehensive and collision coverage and adjusting the cost of your deductibles is something you should talk with your independent agent about.

Be covered in case of car accident

Commmentary by tracy line

I thought I’d heard it all. But I was wrong. Last week, Dutch entrepreneur Jim Halfens an-nounced he is opening a new line of hotels. His hotels aren’t the type of place you want to visit twice. In fact, you might hope to never go there at all. Halfens’ hotels offer a unique service: the ability to arrive married and leave single.

At the Divorce Hotel, unhappy couples check in (separate accommodations of course) and relax in five-star quality suites while utilizing the ser-vices of an on-site divorce team to terminate their marriage. Guests can check in on Friday, have the divorce drawn up Saturday and leave Sunday with papers in hand. There are currently six bou-tique hotels throughout the Netherlands. Divorce packages cost between $3,500 and $10,000, de-pending on the complexity of the couple’s assets and whether or not there is a child custody issue.

Next up is to bring the Divorce Hotel con-cept to the U.S. With American divorces tak-ing anywhere from months to years, Halfens believes his hotels offer a quick and positive way to end a union. While eager to provide a service, the hotel staff has no desire to mediate a messy divorce. Instead they focus on couples looking to make a clean, amicable split. No life change is

all roses though, so the hotel also has psycholo-gists available for those needing help in adjust-ing to the single life.

According to the New York Times, 16 of the 17 married couples that have checked into the hotel have successfully left with divorce papers. One guest even had a champagne toast with his ex-wife after it was all said and done. Can you guess what’s next? A reality show about the hotel and its guests. Ugh. Talks with two U.S. pro-duction companies are already taking place.

landscaping by randy Sorrell

One of my favorite flowering shrubs is the hydrangea. They are packed with color, and the recent varieties are very predictable bloomers. Many of the mature varieties bloom on last year’s growth only, and often a late freeze can destroy the buds that have already been set. Endless Summer and All Summer Beauty are two break-through varieties that produce flowers not only on last year’s growth, but also this year’s too.

PINK OR BLUEIt seems we always covet what we don’t have

or can’t get, and blue hydrangeas migrate to that category. Our Hamilton County soil tends to eventually turn our fantastic blue hydrangeas to pink. That can be disappointing when a particular color palate was planned. But there is hope. Blue and pink hydrangeas can often be encouraged toward the other color with a little soil manipulation.

Changing pink to blue is not too difficult and can be accomplished by adding aluminum sul-fate to the surrounding soil a few times a year. Mix a tablespoon of aluminum sulfate with one gallon of water and pour it around the hydran-gea after saturating first. Couple with a high potassium fertilizer (25/5/30) and a healthy mulching for confident success in a few seasons. Sorry, no instant gratification here.

Blue to pink can be a little more challenging.

Minimizing aluminum from the soil is the ob-jective, and adding dolomitic lime two to three times a year to raise the ph level should do the trick. Use a 25/10/10 fertilizer with a high level of phosphorus.

White hydrangeas (Annabelle, White Dome, Tardiva, Oak Leafs) are meant to be white and are not prone to change.

While we love hydrangeas, their frustrating love affair with water is not terribly environ-mentally friendly. Plant them as specimens, instead of in mass, to control maintenance. My preference? Let the hydrangeas migrate to their eventual color and enjoy the process.

Commentary by David Decker

While it is easy to detect a scuffed, damaged, dated or worn flooring surface, it’s what can’t be seen underneath that often presents the real challenge in a flooring removal-repair-replace-ment project.

Wood, tile, laminate, stone and every other type of flooring must have a secure, level and sturdy subfloor. That means flooring installed to last – with proper fit, underlayment, fasteners, adhesives, thin set, grout, levelers or whatever – won’t always be easy to remove.

It also means that improperly installed floor-ing might be either coming up in chunks or nearly impossible to remove cleanly. The wrong kind or combination of adhesives, together with aggressive scraping, can create extensive struc-tural damage and chaos for a surprised do-it-yourselfer. A project can quickly grind to a halt.

An experienced flooring professional already understands the potential difficulties of flooring removal and will have the right (and sometimes very expensive) equipment needed to remove flooring without damaging the underlying structure.

A pro will also be able to accurately assess any number of substrate problems that are common to homes – termites, water damage, mold, rot, original structure inadequacies, and on and on. New, beautiful flooring on old, damaged sub-flooring simply causes more problems and more

expense, sooner rather than later.It’s rare that a flooring professional would sim-

ply cover an old floor with new flooring material, but when that’s the best solution, careful installa-tion will prevent gross unevenness, toe-stubbing transitions and/or thresholds from adjacent rooms and gaps in corners. I saw a DIY instal-lation where overlaid flooring trapped the dish-washer, making it impossible to move for service.

A seriously professional aspect of laying any floor – especially stone and the large-size tiles that are currently in vogue – is in creating an even, level surface. The bigger the tiles, the more exacting the demands of proper subflooring, un-derlayering, and positioning. Success is a matter of skill, not beginner’s luck.

So remember that when eyeing a custom flooring replacement project, a professional usu-ally sees the best solution.

New flooring: What dangers lurk beneath?
