Your teen is finally in the driver’s seat! While getting a driver’s license is an im-portant milestone, many parents are left wondering if their teen is really ready to take to the road. Research has shown motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for 15- to 20-year-olds. This year, nearly 4 million new teen drivers will be licensed in the U.S. Half of them will be involved in a crash be-fore they turn 20.

Safe driving skills are learned over time, and the more practice you get, the better driver you’ll become. Specifically targeted toward teens ages 15 to 18 who are about to, or have recently received their driver’s license, Rule the Road gives teens the unique opportunity to learn and practice skills they need to keep them safe behind the wheel.

Sponsored by the Boone County Sheriff’s Office, the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute and Indiana Students Against Destructive Decisions, the Rule the Road teen driving event will be Saturday at the Indianapolis Executive Airport in Zionsville. This daylong event is free and preregistration is required.

Teens can expect to learn and practice hazard recognition, vehicle speed and space management skills on a closed course with certified emergency vehicle operator instructors. Rule the Road will also reinforce the importance of wearing a seatbelt and not driving impaired or distracted.

Eligible participants must have at least a learner’s permit issued by March 31. For more information, please visit www.in.gov/ruletheroad or contact the Boone County Sheriff’s Office.

The Village Poets will be performing today at Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Public Library in Zionsville. The program will begin at 7 p.m. and will feature readings from the four indi-vidual poets, as well as a number of poems the quartet will perform together.

The Village Poets are Bruce Brush, Mary Gillim, Donna Monday and Miriam Nidiffer. Performing with them will be guest poet Liza Hyatt. All five poets have been reading and writ-ing locally for years.

Brush is a retired professional engineer who is a Korean War vet. He came to poetry late in life after his retirement. He is a frequent reader at Poetry on Brick Street in Zionsville and his poetry gives a male perspective on life.

Gillim is a 50-year resident of Zionsville and is an artist, a poet, a thespian and the mother of six. She, too, is a frequent reader at Poetry on

Brick Street. She recently published a definitive poem of the geography and history of the Mis-sissippi River, “Ol’ Man River.”

Monday, locally known as a salesperson at Pearson Ford, has been writing much of her life. She formerly edited a local paper and wrote a popular humor column. She writes for Current in Zionsville. She has published a poetry book, “Dancing in the Alley.”

Nidiffer is a native of Great Britain, where she worked as a lecturer in a London college. A resi-dent of Zionsville for 15 years, she is a frequent reader at Poetry on Brick Street. Her poem "Ode to Lions Park" was read at the Zionsville Fall Festival, and the poem "A Breakfast Ballad" is on display at Eagle Creek Coffee Co. She, too, participates in Poetry on Brick Street.

Hyatt is from Zionsville and is looking for-ward to renewing contacts in the Village. She recently read on NPR radio in Indianapolis from her new book, “Under My Skin.”

Witham Memorial Hospital will offer patients a powerful new diagnostic imaging system known as positron emission to-mography/CT. This hybrid technology combines the strengths of two well-established imaging modalities in one imaging session to more accurately diagnose and locate cancers while increasing patient comfort.

“Before PET/CT, physicians would overlay the results of a PET and CT scans performed separately to identify and locate tumors,” said Jason Scott, director of imaging/cardiac diag-nostics/pulmonary/neurodiagnostics at Witham. “However, because a patient may not be positioned identically for both scans, the two images can be difficult to line up exactly, degrading the accuracy of the diag-nostic information.”

The combined PET/CT machine allows physicians to rapidly perform both scans in one session without having to move a patient, which means a physician can precisely over-lay the metabolic data of the PET scan and the detailed anatomic data of the CT scan to pinpoint the location and stage of tumors.

“Witham is proud to bring PET/CT technology to our community with the cooperation of Shared Medical Services. Together, we are now able to offer this advanced imaging tech-nology locally, eliminating the need for patients to travel far distances to receive quality care,” said Dr. Raymond Ingham, CEO and president of Witham Health Services.

Along with providing better imaging data, it notably increas-es patient comfort and convenience by reducing the number of scanning sessions a patient must undergo. It is also noninva-sive, painless and takes only about 30 minutes.

“The scanner is a one-two punch of technology that provides great sensitivity and can help us improve patient outcomes,” said Dr. Robert Liebross, radiation oncologist at the Cancer Institute at Witham.

While PET/CT is primarily used in cancer treatment, it also has applications in cardiology and brain imaging.

COMMUNITY Plain talk

Commentary By Ward Degler

There are dogs, and there are black labs. After babysitting our daughter’s dog, I’m convinced that beyond four legs and a tail, there are very few similarities.

Cooper is a handsome young fellow, ami-able and gets along well with our dog Brutie. Together, they quickly establish a routine of sniffing each other’s you know what, sizing each other up, launching an extended running jog around the backyard and then sleeping until it’s time to do the whole thing over again.

The score was usually tied in that depart-ment. After that, however,

it was every dog for himself. Chasing sticks, for instance. Cooper will chase and bring back any-thing I throw for as long as I choose to throw it. And when I tire of the game, he plops down and eats the stick. I’m not kidding. Brutie, on the other hand, figures if I throw something away, I don’t want it back.

While Brutie has a limited appetite, Cooper will eat anything. I threw out some dead plants. He thought they were delicious. Ditto a stagger-ing assortment of plastic flower pots, plant trays, watering jugs and an aging Frisbee he found in the yard.

He also eats dog food, of course, usually, in one huge gulp. And any unguarded people food likewise vanishes in a flash. That includes green beans and Danish pastry.

Cooper has a bed, but he prefers the sofa. And when I am on it, he will sit and glare at me. Get up to visit the bathroom and he takes over. He considers it a constitutional right.

Brutie has his own idiosyncrasies, of course, and we’ve long thought he probably came from Mars. Cooper, on the other hand, has just got to be from some other planet. Maybe Pluto.

Definite difference in dogs

The Ottinger Sprong Foundation was established in 2002 for charitable and educational purposes, includ-ing funding and grants to other charitable and faith-based entities. It has awarded more than $25,000 to graduating Zionsville seniors in the areas of Leadership and Community Service, Education and Vocational scholarships.

Future goals of the foun-dation include continued support of the 178-year-old Salem United Methodist Church, established in 1834, additional graduate scholar-ships and local efforts such as Love INC, the South Leba-non Community of Shalom, The Caring Center and The Indiana United Methodist Children’s Home.

The foundation recognizes and desires to contribute to the community the Sprong

and Ottinger families have been a part of for more than 150 years. Within the Sprong family, we recognize farm-ing, civic and educational contributions made. Irene (Ottinger) Sprong taught elementary education in the area for 43 years. She still resides in Zionsville at the age of 95.

Candy (Ottinger) Buck-master initiated the $1,000 Vocational scholarship as a memorial tribute to her son, Andy Buckmaster, tragically lost in a motorcycle accident in 2006.

The 2012 scholarship ap-plications are due no later than April 20 to the Ottinger Sprong Foundation, P.O. Box 13, Zionsville, IN 46077.

COMMUNITY Cover Story


There is increasing interest in the possibility of a hockey arena being constructed in Zionsville, and for now, the Town Council is open to learning more.

On March 21, Boone County Economic Development Corp. Executive Director Dax Norton told the Council a feasibility study on such a project – and its $53,000 cost – needs to happen.

“There’s a need for a hockey develop-ment facility,” Norton explained. “There’s a large hockey corridor in this area, and it’s one of the fastest-growing sports in the nation.”

Norton cited overcrowding and aging of two hockey facilities – the Carmel Ice Skadium and the Forum at Fishers – as reasons for a new venue. The Indiana State Fair-grounds’ Pepsi Coliseum, another youth hockey mecca, will close for two years this fall for renovations.

At the close of Norton’s presentation, the Council approved a motion to table the issue until the May Council meeting.

Private interests are behind the push for another rink, and while Norton did not elaborate in that regard, he did spell out the gist of the idea.

“The plan was hatched in 2009 and has remained in an embry-onic state,” he said. “Whitestown was initially the area of interest, in a $34 million plan, but it’s been scaled down. Noblesville, Carmel and Fishers are in the mix, and Lebanon is working on this right now.”

Norton added the approximate estimate of such a project is

$10 million to $15 million, and it would be largely financed by private interests, with public dollars playing a small role.

The project would likely be a 2,500- to 3,000-seat, multipur-pose facility. It would not be a remedy for the temporary lack of a home for the Coliseum’s Indiana Ice, but a host for youth hockey leagues and other events, such as proms.

That versatility is a must, said Mike Berger, general manager and hockey director of the Forum at Fishers.

“A hockey-alone format is a huge mistake,” he said. “Hockey has a long off-season, and even the winter months are not 100 percent busy. Local rinks aren’t yet bursting at the seams. This is

a small sport and adding (ice) sheets is a huge risk.”

Ice and United States Hockey League CEO Paul Skjodt, who declined to com-ment on the project, took a different view.

“We will need six sheets of ice during the next five years to keep up with the demand,” he said, while adding the closing of the Coli-seum and the redevelopment of downtown Indianapolis’ Pan-Am rinks are concerns.

U.S. 421, particularly a 37-acre area near 146th Street, is penciled in as a location of interest should Zionsville land the project.

“A feasibility analysis is in order for (U.S.) 421, but we don’t know if that’s where the facility would go,” Norton said. “Resi-dents there may not want the additional traffic, and we don’t know what could be done with the road. A facility like this could pull people from around the Midwest, so you’d need to look at hotels as well.”

“(There are) plans to upgrade the intersection of U.S. 421 and

Ind. 32 in about three years,” said INDOT’s Will Wingfield. “Developments are occa-sionally asked to build driveway entrances and turn lanes that can accommodate an-ticipated traffic volumes.”

Norton is confident the $53,000 cost of the study the Council will decide on in May could be subsidized, and not pulled exclu-sively from Zionsville’s General Fund, as it is earmarked to be.

“I don’t think the town should fund the entire feasibility study,” he said. “There are a couple grants out there the town may be eligible for.”

Council President Tim Haak is optimis-tic, if guarded, about the idea.

“I support at least exploring the idea,” he said. “We all might think it’s a great idea to have something like this, but if it doesn’t make sense, it doesn’t make sense.”

Norton was more assertive.“This facility is something missing in our

region.”

Could a 3,000-seat hockey facility soon reside at U.S. 421 and 146th Street?

hockey is gaining popularity, with uSA hockey – an organization with more than 500,000 members whose mission is to provide support and develop-ment of grassroots hockey – having seen a 143-per-cent increase in membership between 1990 and 2010.

indiana experienced a 152-percent increase in uSA hockey members during the same span.

A 3,000-seat arena, when filled to capacity in a town of 22,000 people, is analogous to a city the size of indianapolis filling a 112,000-seat venue – approxi-mately twice the capacity of lucas Oil Stadium.

It is our position Zionsville should be congratulated on being a part of the second healthiest county in Indiana. The annual County Health Rankings, released by the University of Wisconsin, takes into account the number of low weight births and the rate of people who die before age 75, has deemed Boone County second behind Ham-ilton County.

We find it encouraging that Zionsville residents take the time to ensure they are healthy. We would like to challenge resi-dents in Zionsville to come in first next year. We are privileged to live in an area rich with parks and trails designed to accommodate all sorts of outdoor activities. As the weather continues to warm up, we should try to take full advantage of these resources.

We understand everyone has a busy schedule and it can be difficult to get out as much as we’d like and get some exercise. However, with a little preplanning and mo-tivation, we can all get out and be active. We’ve already paid for all these parks and trails … we might as well take full advan-tage of them.

In a world of instant messaging and the land of ubiquitous social media, an off-handed remark can be broadcast to thousands – per-haps millions – of people. Urged by the goal of expanding those who know and understand the importance of routine philanthropy in their lives, our community foundation, The Legacy Fund, has started a program to make full use of the array of these modern communication tools including Facebook, Twitter, blogs and LinkedIn. Mostly, Legacy Fund posts photos of local events and heroes along with the occasional notice of some piece designed to inspire giv-ing. Yet, when reposting a story from The Wall Street Journal which innocuously enough sup-ported corporate philanthropy, a far-away reader jumped into the fray with a stinging assessment of the purported generosity of the business leaders who give. Now, it seems one can, at the push of an all-too-easy button on the handy cell phone, post each fragment of thought.

If a basic tenant of public discourse is to

“know one’s audience,” then the open nature of the Web is antithetical to this objective. Once posted, information is impossible to control and contain, yet entirely easy to contort. Re-cently, filmmaker Spike Lee tweeted online to millions the address of the shooter of the young boy in Florida. Unfortunately, Mr. Lee had an address for the wrong people. Thereafter, these folks have been receiving death threats and are in hiding for fear of their family’s safety. Should Mr. Lee be held to account for inciting vigilantism? Or, was his incident a simple mis-speak amplified by the megaphone provided by social media? Regardless, it is clear these, like any powerful tools, are inherently dangerous and must be treated with special care. Likewise, their irresponsible use can carry great conse-quence to both user and bystander.

Worldwide misspeak

Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may e-mail him at [email protected].

We noticed a letter to the editor, published by the other newspaper in this town, which took to task our managing editor, Derek Fisher, over quotes he used in his cover story on the schools referendum (Current in Zionsville, March 27). The facts of the matter are, according to Derek (and we stand by him solidly):• He met Joan Lyons (the author of the letter

in question) on Feb. 7 at SullivanMunce Cultural Center, after he stopped in to in-quire about obtaining historical photographs for Current’s “Then & Now” feature.

• He was introduced to Joan Lyons by Me-lissa Fanning, development coordinator for SullivanMunce.

• While speaking with Derek about Current’s potential use of SullivanMunce’s photo-graphs, Lyons also was very forthcoming in a brief chat with Derek about the upcom-ing school referendum vote.

• Lyons’ views were offered up in an unso-licited manner, and no affirmation of any-thing being off the record was given.

• This meeting was verified as having oc-curred in a March 22 e-mail reply from Fanning. Derek had e-mailed her for the distinct purpose of making sure he got Ly-ons’ name correct for the referendum story.

• Lyons included some photographs from her personal collection in the group, from which Derek selected the “Then & Now” photos. She even made handwritten notes – with the intent to assist Derek – to go along with some of them, identifying dates and locations.

As you can see, it was and shall continue to be all aboveboard as concerns Current in Zions-ville. If you ever find anything to the contrary, please write us at [email protected]. We will investigate, respond and reply.

Meantime, we are thrilled with the job Derek has done since joining us in early January. He is an ac-curate reporter and an engaging writer. If you have a story idea, a news tip or a comment, we urge you to contact him at [email protected].

Commentary by Derek fisher

I’m setting up shop in Zionsville.No, not that kind of shop; Current Publish-

ing will still retain just one hub office in Carmel for all its platforms. What I mean to say is I’m setting up calling hours for you – and you, and you and you, too – to stop by and discuss all things Zionsville with me.

So, mark it down: Wednesdays between 10 a.m. and noon at Eagle Creek Coffee Co., I’m all ears.

I’m all ears for your story ideas. I’m all ears for your questions. I’m all ears for your comments, concerns and I’m all ears for your company, if you so desire. As good as the dialogue has been thus far between myself and our lovely town, it’s about to get better and more accessible.

I envision this method – already employed by another Current editor in another location, to rave reviews – will be more ergonomic than traversing the usual technological channels of communication. Oh, you can still call or e-mail

or Morse code me if you like, but if you choose to simply drop by the café unannounced, that’s perfectly all right.

Many of you, mostly outside the 46077 ZIP code, have also asked me about the method of acquiring copies, or additional copies, of Cur-rent in Zionsville. With our delivery model being what it is, my Eagle Creek hours are the perfect solution. I’ll bring a stack of CiZ with me, and any and all will be free to take one.

See, at Current, we’re all about being local. And what better way to be local, outside of my eventually filling out a change of address form, than to be right here? Come bend my ear for a bit and tell me what you know, what you’ve heard, what you like and what you don’t.

No appointment required.

Editor,A note to let you know how much I enjoyed

the new addition of Current to my neighbor-hood. I found it full of interesting and informa-

tive news. I look forward to the arrival of your next issue in our mailbox.

The Sorrells46077

Current readers welcome at coffee shop

Happy with Current in Zionsville

Warning: The following may cause embarrass-ment and eye-rolling in people of the male per-suasion. Read at your own risk. Also, if you are pregnant or plan to become so, you may want to skip on over to another column.

As most of you know, I recently turned 40. My twin sister, in order to celebrate this mile-stone, decided to have a baby. A baby! I can’t top that, but her pregnancy did inspire me to seek out some sort of challenge to prove to my-self getting older doesn’t have to mean dementia and osteoporosis. I chose a marathon. Not a full 26.2 miles of course − suffering through one of those puppies was the most miserable experience of my 20s − but a 13.1-mile (half ) marathon. It’s still impressive, but far less fatal. And Doo and I are planning a beach vacation with the kids during the summer, so a mini seemed like a great idea. I’ve been training for about six weeks now and am progressing on schedule, but am facing one major hurdle every time I jog.

Uncontrollable urination. And not in a way-side port-a-let. Actually, mid-running. What the hoo-ha? I can deal with the sore knees, the racing heart, even the occasional light-headedness and nausea that come with overexerting myself on a record-high temperature day after 10 hours of work, but I must draw the line at soaking myself.

And I’ve tried everything short of self-imposed dehydration. Nothing helps. So now I’m stuck wondering how I’ll manage a maxi pad or even a Depends on race day. Because it’s so freakin’ dis-tracting, not to mention humiliating, when I’m only a mile in and the leaking begins. I ran one hour this morning, and the first thing I had to do once I stumbled into the house and let Doo know I’d survived, hop in the shower.

Here I am trying to get in shape and show my kids how to set and reach goals, and a little thing like bladder control may derail me. What’s a gal to do?

I do have a friend who opted for surgical treat-ment, but I’m just not sure I’m ready for that. Sewing up the nether region seems like something my mother or grandmother should be worrying about, not me. I just want to be able to run a few miles and mop up sweat, not urine, like normal people. Is that too much to ask? Peace out.

*Annual Percentage Rate. Closing costs paid by State Bank of Lizton (SBL) are limited to appraisal, credit report, flood determination, titlesearch and recording fees. Property insurance is required. Borrower paid title insurance and appraisal fees are required when sum of all lienson property exceed $350,000. Subject to application, credit approval, acceptable appraisal and title search. Advertised APR is available onlines of $50,000 or greater, with loan-to-value ratio of 80% or less, and includes an additional .25% discount for optional automatic paymentfrom a SBL personal checking account. Borrower must meet specific underwriting criteria and draw a minimum of $20,000 at time of closingto obtain the advertised rate and waiver of the $50 annual fee for the life of the loan. The APR is based on Prime plus or minus a margin.The margin is based on your home’s loan-to-value ratio, lien position, owner occupancy status, applicant’s credit history, and the amountof the credit line. The APR is variable and can change monthly, but will never be higher than 21.0%. “Prime” means “Bank Prime Loan’ ratepublished by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in its statistical release H.15 (519) entitled “Selected Interest Rates.” Useof the word “Prime” does not mean that the rate is the best or lowest rate offered by any lender. Current Prime rate is 3.25% as of March1, 2012, current rates are available from 2.25% APR to 9.25% APR. The highest possible rate does not reflect this discount. Other creditlines are available that require less equity for qualified borrowers. The amount of savings realized with debt consolidation varies by loan.Since a home equity line may have a longer term than some of the bills being consolidated, there may not be a savings over the entire timeof the line if you make only the minimum payments. On any day that the account is used to provide overdraft protection for a SBL personalchecking account, a $2 transfer fee is charged. You must enroll for this service. Consult your tax advisor regarding the deductibility of interest.

WellnessHEALTH

Commentary by Dr. Barry Eppley

Q: i had liposuction six months ago that has left me with some unevenness over the thigh areas. the skin has some dimpling and a few more obvious humps in the upper portion of outer thighs. My doctor told me to give it six months after surgery to see if they would smooth out, and they definitely haven’t. Would Exilis be able to fix or im-prove how this looks?

A: Skin irregularities are the result of an un-even fat layer under the skin. They can become apparent after liposuction due to pre-existing cellulite, poor skin elasticity and an irregular lay-ering of residual fat left behind. One has to look carefully at the lumps and bumps to determine if filling the indentations, decreasing the height of the lumps or some combination approach is best.

Exilis is a radiofrequency device that does spot fat reduction and has some degree of a skin-tightening effect. I find it to be one of the best nonsurgical approaches to treat liposuction deformities available today. It will likely have some beneficial effects on the contour of the thigh skin by helping to reduce the thicker or raised fat areas. It usually requires three or four treatments done in the office every two weeks to see the best effect.

But if the indentations are the main con-tour problems, those are best treated by fat injections.

DOUGH Insurance

Commentary by Andy Warren

Question from Charles S. of Carmel: We’re going to open our pool up for the summer in the next month or so and are slightly concerned we don’t have all of our bases covered when it comes to protecting ourselves. What are the big issues?

response from Andy Warren:issues

The most important thing to remember as a pool owner is you make sure your insurance agent knows you have a pool. Failure to notify your agent can result in denied claims and the liability risk falling completely on you. This is very important to remember if you add a pool to your existing property. Not having the pool on your policy can expose you to some serious unwanted risks.

Carriers have varying requirements and pric-ing schemes when it comes to pools. Indepen-dent insurance agencies have access to many carriers and will be able to find the best combi-nation of price and coverages for your needs.

Coverage recommendationsWe recommend at least $1 million in liability

coverage for all of our clients with a homeown-ers policy. I would also advise adding an ad-ditional $1 million of coverage by adding an

umbrella liability policy to protect you and your family against catastrophic claims.

Claim preventionHaving adequate insurance in place protects

your assets if an incident occurs, but it does nothing to prevent something from happening. Liability almost always falls on the pool owner and staying on top of your responsibility to keep your pool safe and secure is just as important as having the proper insurance in place. A safety pool cover protected by lock and key is probably the best place to start. A quality cover complete-ly seals the pool and prevents accidental access to the water by unwanted visitors, children and pets. Making sure your pool is protected by a fence is also a good idea, but no fence is unconquerable.

It’s also important to remember claims can happen no matter what you do to prevent them. You buy insurance to protect yourself and your family. Facing a liability claim without an insur-ance company standing by your side can make an already unpleasant situation much worse.

Protection for pool owners

INSIDE & OUT Outdoors

Commentary by randy Sorrell

The art and appreciation of retrofit continues to grow. Initially, its popularity was economi-cally driven. Happy homeowners wanted to improve their outdoor living space, but tight wallets didn’t allow for draining the bank ac-count or tapping home equity lines.

fAShiOnABlENow, after gobs of successful redone projects

where original patios remained and added to, and society became comfortable with work-ing with what we have, retrofits just seem both smart and fashionable. Lending credibility to the process is the burning trend of rescue/reuse/recycle where forgotten chandeliers in the at-tic are repurposed as cool hanging light effects infused with candles, and once ugly peeling iron fence sections become historic features for climbing vines (done them both).

Sure, our industry thrives on ripping out everything, designing bright and shiny ultimate backyard retreats and installing them as a blank slate. But, not everyone or every home needs that. There is something very satisfying about “solutioneering” the old to something complete-ly new and livable.

lAnDSCAPEThe featured picture is a perfect retrofit ex-

ample. Mature spruce trees and stately boxwood

will remain in the landscape, but the tired creeping junipers and crimson pygmy barberries will be replaced, likely with something a little more refined for this elegant Carmel residence. I can imagine a stately bed of pachysandra with a variegated hosta border for the shady area. A trio of pink hydrangea would offer prolonged flowering and nice fall color if we select the glowing embers variety.

Landscape retrofits are not always appropriate and can be more challenging than working with existing concrete patios, walks, porches, stone columns and other hardscape elements. Scale

is a major issue. With mature trees and shrubs remaining, newly planted items often don’t look visually appealing and seem out of place, even after years of growth.

The art of retrofit is similar to the art of luxurious outdoor living. It takes consideration, moderation and imagination to be successful.

Retrofit, repurpose to the rescue

INSIDE & OUT Indoors

remodeling by David Decker

Certain home construction materials in cer-tain applications just naturally provide a secure, confident, luxurious feel, and it’s hard to explain exactly why.

I’d put stone tile shower flooring right at the top of that list.

Beautiful and spa-like, wet stone feels great underfoot. Specially cut and contoured, tile is the top choice when it comes to putting down a new shower floor.

What’s especially dramatic is the dif-ference between standing on a new tile floor, and the old experience of stand-ing in a fiberglass tub bottom or on the hard-painted finish of a traditional cast iron bathtub. The first never feels quite solid, and the second can be dangerously slick. And let’s mention the “up and over” step into a tub can be perilous, not to mention overly athletic, in the drowsy first moments of the day.

Customers routinely tell us it is the easy entry, solid feeling, no-slip excursion into an updated and redesigned shower that is the piece de resistance, the sensual highlight, of a custom bathroom improvement project. It’s no wonder shower/tub combinations are disappearing from master bathrooms in favor of larger, glass-en-closed or even European-style (no shower walls) units that make the bathroom a special, relaxing

and cozy sanctuary.Tile shower flooring can be composed of

ceramic, porcelain, glass or other ma-terials beside stone. While standard flooring tiles can be slick when wet, shower flooring is typically contoured or treated to enhance traction. It also tends to be installed in smaller pieces to accommodate shaping for slope and drainage, and the smaller pieces mean more grout joints, which pro-vide even more traction.

Professional installation is nearly a must because water is difficult to contain and persistently goes unwanted places creating mold, mildew and leak issues. Installed improperly, a tile shower floor is a permanent headache. Installed properly, a tile shower floor is a perma-nent luxury and a sure-footed good vibe.

Tile: Sure-footed shower floor luxury
