Where culture is always on exhibit

Story and photos by Ricky Jimenez Carrasco
Speak to Al Borrego
for a few minutes and you will
get a history and art lesson
spanning centuries. Borrego,
president of the San Elizario
Genealogy and Historical Society, is fiercely proud of the area
and has worked for the past
four years to improve and promote the area and put it on the
map. Working in tandem with
the Society and other artists
and community leaders, Borrego has built up the area and
made it more attractive to
tourists who come to see the
areas history.
The newest improvement to the area is the installation of sign-posts that make for
an interactive self-guided walking tour of the San Elizario historical district. The markers
have basic information about
each location and have scan
Al Borrego
codes that can be read by
smart-phones. By scanning the
bar codes, an automated message in either English or Spanish about each site will
automatically begin to play and
share more in-depth information. The signposts, which are
unique to the El Paso area,
were built and installed by volunteers. Borrego explained the
cost was similar to making a
good quantity of printed paper
pamphlets, but this method is
much more user friendly and
cost-effective. Guided tours are
still available at designated
times, but the signs are available to tourists who do not
come at the appointed times.
San Elizario has also
recently been designated as an
official cultural district by the
Texas Commission on the Arts.

Topping Out Celebration
Continued from page 3

As of today, there are only 24
such districts in Texas, most
near the downtown metropolitan areas of Texas cities. 5 new
districts were appointed since
last September. San Elizario became the 21st, the only one that
is not situated in a city. San
Elizario is a rural community of
about 13,000 that is currently
unincorporated.
On Thursday October 17th

Sierra Providence East
celebrated a big part of the
completion to their fourstory, 145,000 square-foot
patient care tower. The
final structural steel beams
for this $67 million tower
was lowered into place
during this special ceremony. Staff and physicians were all on hand to
sign and see the beam
being placed during this
special celebration.

The only thing that could get worse for the Miners happened. UTEP quarterback Jameill Showers injured his shoulder on Saturday vs Rice and
is out for the season. This weekend is possibly
Showers most anticipated game against his former team the Texas A&M Aggies. The Miners
come into this game with a 1-6 record with the
Aggies having a 6-2 record so far this season.
The Aggies have Heisman quarterback Johnny
Manziel and are a 45-point favorite against the
Miners. 5 games still remain for the season and
Kugler and Co. have to find a way to salvage
what is left. The Attitude and direction for the
Miners is in a very positive direction. This is
only the first season of the Kugler Era and recruitment has already been on the rise.

showcasing many El Paso area
artists. Then that evolved to
showing the areas history like
not only the San Elizario
church, but also the newly expanded Veterans museum. Borrego would hope that El
Pasoans would promote this
area as much as the Mesilla
area is usually promoted as a
cultural tourist spot.
The Miners face the Aggies this Saturday at

9pm ET on ESPN2.
Coach Kugler
Borrego and the San

Elizario Historical Society got
help from State Representative
Mary Gonzalez. She helped to
compile the information, submit the application, and helped
promote it from her office in
Austin. The Texas Commission
on the Arts designates areas as
cultural districts through a
process to see if you qualify or
not. This past year, 8 locations
in Texas submitted applications
and only 5 were approved.
The new designation, other
than opening many new possibilities for the area, also allows
the Society to apply for further
State funding for further revitalization and restoration efforts. You have to show how
the area will have an economic
impact on the local community,
be a center providing cultural
activities for tourism, promote
historic preservation and education.
Borrego continued, We are already doing most of these. We
are currently hosting 88 free
events a year. We host everything from monthly tours of the
district, the Billy the Kid festival, the upcoming Celebration
of Our Cultural festival, and the
Kris Kindle market prior to the
Christmas Holidays. We hold 9
art markets a year with many
local artists. We host about 20
Billy the Kid re-enactment
shows a year. We host the ghost
tours every first Friday of the
month. We say that this is
where culture is on exhibit all
the time. Our slogan is "See it.
Feel it. Believe it."

"This all started because I got
into art." He saw that various
other privately owned art galleries in El Paso were closing
down. He started showing his
paintings in El Paso and then
eventually at an improvised
farmer's market in the San Eli
church plaza. He noticed that
tourists were coming to see the
history of the church and the
area, but with no central organization or leadership. He had the
epiphany that the area resembled, and surpassed, Santa Fe in
terms of history, and size if the
rest of the Mission Trail is included.
At first, the only plan

was to have a small art gallery.
Then the gallery evolved to

where the Salt War was located.

If you would like to experience
a part of San Elizarios 400
year history, there are many upcoming events you can attend.
On November 9th and 10th, the
area will host the 17th annual
Veterans Day parade and celebration. The following weekend, Borrego is proud to show
the 2nd annual Celebration of
Our Culture which will showcase Native American culture
from all over the southwest including presentations, talks,
and dances from tribes as far
away as Oklahoma. On December 6, 7, 8, the annual Kris
Kindle Market will host over
50 vendors selling art, crafts
and food.

Its Time to Chance

the Clocks!
This is a time of the year

that I do not look forward
to changing the clocks.
Its not that I just dont
enjoy changing all my
clocks in the house and
car, but I dont like it getting dark at 5pm. The
added hour of sleep initially is great, but to me
the negatives outweigh
the positives.
This is also a good time

of year to be reminded.
Many folks use it as a
time to change their
smoke detector batteries
or batteries in their watch
or clocks. I also use it as
a time to question people
on what states dont observe the time change a
good trivia question.
The United States doesnt require all states to

make the change thats
up to the individual
states. All the government requires is that if a
state does observe Daylight Saving Time, to all
do it at the same time.
You can see which states
do not observe Daylight
Saving Time in the
Weather Trivia section.
Weather Trivia:
What states do not observe Daylight Saving Time?
A. Arizona and Michigan

In the U.S. we officially

move the time back at
2:00 a.m this Sunday.
This time period was
picked because it was the
most convenient time to
change over; most folks
are at home or in bed not
running around town. Its
also early enough where

LIFESTYLES
The Coat Check Room
Sharon Mosley
Of all the clothes we buy, when it comes to

fall and winter, our coat may be the most
important buy of all. Whether you've got
one or one dozen, coats can make a major
style statement. This season, there are
plenty of ways to make outerwear work for
you, not only in making a fashionable first
impression but also as a functioning warm
cover-up.
Here are some tips on finding the perfect
coat(s) this fall:
First, look at the outerwear you already
have hanging in your closet. There are new
variations on a theme every season. So before you buy the latest puffer parka, check
to make sure you don't already have a few
ski vests in your closet that may do just the
trick. Otherwise,
you can
always stock up on new colors to

freshen up both your active wear
wardrobe and skiwear.
Then think about the kind of coat

you will most likely wear everyday. I wear lots of belted kneelength trench coats, just
because I rarely need a blizzard buster of a long down
sleeping bag of a coat. However, I do have several different types of trenches
casual animal-print styles
for everyday wear and
then colorful satin ones
for dressier evening occasions.
However, when you do need a
really, really warm coat, you
need it. Everyone should have
at least one of these classics in
their closet. This fall, the trendiest coats are updated with
furry collars and leather
details. But choose
wisely. Hopefully, you
will find a coat that not
only makes a style
statement but is also
an investment. Pay attention to the quality
of this coat. After all,
most of us do want to wear
our coats for years to come.
You may also want to supplement your everyday coat
with coats that are "fun"
fashion leather bomber
jackets or toggle button
coats that are popular this
fall and more of a casual
jacket, which can do
double duty on the
weekend. Your
wardrobe can
always use a
shot of attitude that some
of these trendier outerwear styles provide.
Do consider fit when
you try on coats and jackets. Dressier

jackets may be perfect over silk
blouses or chiffon tops, but you may
need to buy roomier coats to slide
over bulkier sweaters. The trend
of oversized coats this fall may
be just what you need for
more versatility.
And, of course, raincoats
may not always be at the top
our fall fashion lists, but believe me, if you are in a
downpour hailing a taxi,
you will wish you had one
in your closet. This may
also be one coat you will
want to make an investment in for longevity.
Choose the color of your coat

carefully. Yes, pale pink and winter white are all the rage this year on
the runways. However, I don't know
about you, but that is just a coffee spill
waiting to happen. Unless you already
have several coats and want to splurge
on a special-occasion topper in a pale
color, then reconsider when you are

tempted by the sugar plum fairy waving a
wand over your checkbook in the mall.
Stick to neutral colors such as camel, black
or gray for investment coats.
With so many styles and colors of coats to
choose from, you can't go wrong with finding a slim, figure-slimming three-quarterlength coat. Steer clear of stiff fabrics,
especially if your coat is belted. Coats are
usually more flattering if they are nipped in
at the waist.
But, most of all, make sure your coat is
comfortable. That's the ultimate test of a
great way to top off your wardrobe.

I Think of It as a Reward,
Not a Bribe
DR. WALLACE: Last year my parents created a plan for

me to earn $10 for every A I got in semester grades and $5 for
every B I received. I worked really hard because I wanted to be
on the honor roll, and I liked the idea of earning some extra
money. I accomplished my goal and made the honor roll for the
first time. I had 12 semester classes for the year and received a
check from my parents for $85. This really made me happy!
However, my aunt (Mom's sister) told my parents that I should

not be paid to earn good grades in school. She's a teacher and she
said it was like bribery. I think it's like getting a reward, and I
think I should continue to earn money for excellent grades. I'm
now in the 12th grade and was thinking about maybe asking my
parents to up the ante to $20 for As and $10 for Bs, but now I
don't think I should. My parents are now debating whether or not
to continue the money-for-good-grades program because of Aunt
Sarah's negative opinion. What do you think about this situation?
Taylor, Jacksonville, Fla.
TAYLOR: The idea of paying kids money for good grades is

controversial in the educational community, and while I see some
merit to it, I will concede that most educators frown on it. They
would agree with Dr. Anne Stewart, a professor of psychology
specializing in family therapy at James Madison University, who
says that such a policy might work in the short run, but in the
long run could have a negative impact on a student's motivation
to learn.
She feels that by placing a monetary emphasis on grades, parents
are focusing on how their student is performing rather than what
he or she is learning. Simply stated, Dr. Stewart says there is
more to learning than grades, which don't reflect a student's ability to use course information other than for taking examinations.
She points out that many successful people had average gradepoint averages. Parents, according to Dr. Stewart, should always
encourage their students to study and maintain the best grades
possible, but should never use grades as a club to get them to perform, by saying, "No A on your English test, no school dance."
I completely agree with this point. Parents should never use
grades as a threat. That could engender lifelong bitterness toward
learning. However, I'm more relaxed about cash incentives. I
don't view giving money for good grades as a bribe, but as a reward. Any time a student earns an A, you can be sure the student
has gained a good deal of knowledge on the subject.
It's true that all students should do their best simply for the sake
of learning, but the thought of earning some cash might just encourage some of them to study a little harder. I'm a little troubled
that you're starting to get greedy, however. What's your bargaining position on the higher pay scale that if Mom and Dad don't
meet it you'll start slacking off? Don't try to negotiate your reward or you'll prove your aunt's assessment is correct.
Dr. Robert Wallace welcomes questions from readers. Although
he is unable to reply to all of them individually, he will answer as
many as possible in this column.

week 10/31 - 11/06
Scorpio New Moon of Change

The new moon in transformative
Scorpio suggests that the greatest
possession is self-possession.
The one who is the master of his or
her own actions will change. This
week the most successful approach
for self-direction will be gentle, lenient and nurturing. Make it so that if
you mess up, you can always try
again. The feeling that once you
break the rules there is no going
back only makes people vulnerable
to a fully escalated binge.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You don't
have to be in a room with pretty
things to dream pretty dreams, but it
helps. When your environment is
lovely, you think differently. It becomes easier for you to picture
beauty and attract more of what you
find so pleasing. This week brings inspiring environments, and you'll feel
right at home in fantastic settings.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You may
drift off task more often than usual,
but you can trust that it's a wise part
of you that is driving the action. This
part of you is instinctual and can
make sense of all that's happening
on a subconscious level. This part of
you has the broad view and is
smarter than the part of you that
made the task list.
tribute to long-term happiness. It

benefits you to try on different perspectives before you make a decision.
through tribulations and keep going,

and this week you will be such a person. You'll inspire others to have
greater willpower, too.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You could use

a bold new idea this week. Of
course, you don't conjure such ideas
by commanding yourself or others to
have them. The way to generate or
inspire truly creative thoughts is to
practice the art of humble inquiry. In
other words, ask a better question,
and ask it in a way that makes the
world open up.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). At

the center of your being is the you
who knows what's good and right for
you. Believe in and communicate
with this person often. When you engage this center-being in conversation, you won't always hear what you
expect or even what you'd like to
hear, but you can trust the value of
the message.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You will

be even choosier than usual about
the jobs you take on. You know that if
you're going to do something, you're
not going to merely do a good job. To
everything you do, you bring a wow
factor, and it takes time and energy
to go the extra mile. You want to
make sure the effort is worthy of you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You

have a special way of putting things.
Your words will create a soft glow
around whatever you speak of. This
is all part of your charm, which the
stars amplify this week, especially
before Wednesday. The latter part of
the week calls for a more direct approach. Don't be afraid to ask for
what you want.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It takes

heart to create strong, deep relationships, and heart is something you
have a lot of this week. You won't be
interested in increasing the number
of shallow relationships in your life.
One profound connection will do
more for your soul than a million
friends on a social networking site
ever could.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You

wouldn't judge a worm by its ability to
fly any more than you'd judge a bird
by its tunneling prowess. Your abilities are very different from the abilities of those you work with this week,
and that's what makes a project successful. Use your gifts without comparing them. Compete only with
yourself.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The

week's events will inspire you to let
go and trust yourself. When you do
something that takes courage, you
gain confidence in return. This is true
regardless of whether the courageous act ultimately was successful
or not. The risk you take on Thursday
will have long-term positive effects.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Time's

influence on your happiness can be
unpredictable. An act of temporary
passion ultimately may cause unhappiness, and the action that seems
more like duty than fun may con-
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). In

the past, there have been times
when you gave up too soon, and
that's part of why you are so determined not to make the same mistake
now. You admire people who push
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You are

not only easy to get along with this
week, but you're also the person who
helps everyone else get along.
Mostly you accomplish this by setting
a positive tone. You'll derive a great
deal of pleasure from teamwork, and
the knowledge and success you gain
are the happy outcroppings of your
stellar attitude.
THIS WEEK'S BIRTHDAYS: You get
better at tending to your own needs
and as a result see improved health
and happiness. There's an impulsive
quality to the next 10 weeks. Train
yourself to be patient so you'll make
good decisions. Socializing becomes
a priority when you meet a fun group
this month. December brings the
chance to be a star on the job. Your
biggest investment of 2013 starts to
pay off in February of 2014. You will
travel for work in March and for
pleasure in June. July is the most romantic month.

CLEAN AND HEALTHY

By Gina Spadafori
Universal Uclick
Dogs are content to

live in dog-smell heaven, a
place where water is only for
drinking or swimming and
never has soap added. Sadly,
from a canine point of view, we
make the rules that dictate how
often dogs must be bathed.
But how often is that?
Forget that old saw about
every six months or even
every year. Who wants to live
with a stinky dog? New veterinary research shows that
weekly bathing with an appropriate shampoo ask your
veterinarian for a recommendation will not only keep your
dog pleasant to be around, but
will also minimize or even
eliminate skin problems.
So get ready: Were
going to wash the dog!
Before you start,
brush your dog well. Mats and
tangles, once wet, just get

worse and will likely have to be
cut out. So get them out of the
way first.
Let your brushed dog
relax while you set up the
proper equipment and fill the
tub. A bath mat in the tub or
sink will make your dog feel
more comfortable by giving
him something secure to stand
on. Youll also need a spray
nozzle. Some people rinse their
dogs by pouring dirty bathwater
back over them, but that defeats
the purpose of bathing a dog (to
get him clean), so use a nozzle.
Set out your towels and some
dog-friendly shampoo and conditioner where you can reach
them.
Right before the big
plunge, put a pinch of cotton
just inside your dogs ears to
help keep the soap out (dont
forget to remove the cotton afterward).
Dont spare the words
of love and encouragement. In
The idea that a dog should go months between baths is as

outdated as doing laundry in a washtub.
working with dogs, a good attitude can go a long way, but a

bad one can go even further. If
your dog knows how much you
hate bath time, how can he get
a positive, or at least tolerable,
opinion of the process? Keep
your attitude high and dont let
up on the praise.
Weekly bathing gets the

thumbs-up from veterinary search
Lather up, rinse and

repeat (the biggest mistake
most people make is not rinsing
well enough it makes the
coat dull and flaky). Follow up
with a conditioner or detangler
if your pets coat needs either.
Rinse throughly a final time.
Hold a towel over

your dog loosely while he
shakes. Your dog can get more
water off by shaking than you
can by toweling. So let him
have at it, and then finish the
job by rubbing him dry when
hes done. (Forced-air dog dryers start at less than $100 and
can be a wonderful investment

for a dog owner, especially
those with long-haired pets.)
Dont let your dog
outside until hes dry, so he
wont roll in something yucky
and undo the work youve
done.
Dogs with smart collars could be health barometers

Researchers at
Englands Newcastle University developed a high-tech,
waterproof dog collar with
an accelerometer and used
it to track movement, barking, sitting and other actions
to gather data on the normal
activity level of a variety of
dog breeds. The information
they obtained allowed them
to quickly notice changes
that might indicate that the
dog was bored or in
poor health. Their
next step is
to
study whether changes such

as the dog being walked
less often or not
being fed
regularly
can
serve as a warning that an

aging owner is struggling to
cope or has deteriorating
health.
The Eau Gallie

Veterinary Hospital in
Melbourne, Fla. has
started regularly utilizing humorous
messages, such as
No hump Wednesdays 10 percent off
spay and neuter. The
clever and comical
signs are the
brainchild
of office
man-
ager Gemma Millar, who

says they are a fun way to
get peoples attention and
promote preventive care and
the benefits of spaying and
neutering. The signs have increased the clinics
spay/neuter appointments
and even brought in new
clients.
Black animals are

often overlooked at
shelters
and wait
much
longer to
be
adopted.
Q&A
Everyone knows
that black is chic, sophisticated and goes with everything. So why are black dogs
and cats so difficult to
place? Shelter employees
and humane organizations
agree that the animals tend
to stay longer than lightercolored pets, possibly because they are difficult to
photograph, blend into
backgrounds, or
maybe just look a
little scary.
Shelters
are
working to improve their

chances by putting colorful
bandanas on black animals,
putting up bright backdrops
in their kennels to help them
stand out, and having their
pictures taken by professional photographers.

CLEAN AND...
And what about felines? While cats especially shorthaired ones
generally do a pretty good
job of keeping themselves
well-groomed, if you have an
allergy sufferer in the house,
a weekly bath (or just a rinse
with clean water) will help to
keep the allergen levels to
more manageable levels.

tolerate it, more or less.
livered four rats to her front

door in the past week. Isnt she
lucky that they are so thoughtful? I guess with colder weather
coming on, they are concerned
that she wont be able to provide for herself.
Cats are known for
bringing presents to their
people. Why do cats hunt for
us? They are natural predators,
of course, and its instinctive
for them to bring their prey to a
safe place. In the wild, leopards
drag their kill up into trees so it
will be safe from other animals
and they can munch on it at
their leisure. Our domestic cats
choose their own home, and
sometimes their own food dish,
as the best place to securely deposit their kill.
Of course, we cant
get into their heads, fascinating
though it would be, but they
may be acting out the instinct to
nurture us and to provide us
with food. Maybe they are try-
ing to teach us to hunt, as they

would a kitten. Or it could just
be that theyre saying, Hey,
could you fix this for dinner
tonight?
Be polite when your
cat brings you the gift of a dead
mouse or other critter. Praise
him for being such a good
hunter, and then try to distract
him while ideally someone else disposes of the carcass.
If your cat is a great
hunter, theres little you can do
to prevent his offerings. Theres
the classic bell on the collar to
warn prey animals of his approach, or the policy of keeping
him indoors. And learn from
my mothers experience: Look
carefully before you step outside the door. Kim Campbell

Finn Bjarnson stumbled

upon Becky Jean Williams in
the summer of 2003. "I had
just been given a local
Christmas CD that I had produced a couple tracks for,"
Finn recalls, "and as I was
listening through the tracks,
there she was! Her beautiful
voice and style immediately
struck me." A couple of
phone calls later and they
were in the studio together
for the first time. "I had
worked up this song called
'Empty Streets' and wanted
to try her voice out on it..."
Finn continues, "and it took
off from there!"
Finn had already been working in the studio with Ryan
Raddon (aka Kaskade), and
soon Finn, Ryan, and Becky
formed Late Night Alumni. In
2004, Hed Kandi made an
offer to license and release
a full length Late Night
Alumni album. "At that
point," Finn says, "I knew
the band was not ready. We
were missing an element."
That missing element turned
out to be John Hancock; a
talented local producer with
whom Finn had been trying
to "find an excuse" to work
with for years. The band was
complete and hard at work
at the debut Late Night
Alumni album; mixing electronic and organic elements
for a unique brand of chill

that is easily distinguishable
in today's down tempo
house music scene.
"Empty Streets" came out in
September of 2005. Around
the same time, Hed Kandi
was bought out by Ministry
of Sound and the album got
shelved. However, despite
the label not working the

album it soon grew into an
underground classic. All
around the world die-hard
fans who supported "Empty
Streets" spread the word of
Late Night Alumni.
The single also entitled
"Empty Streets" received

massive support in both the

clubs and on the radio getting Top Ten Radio Play in
the UK and US, and reaching #1 in Spain. "Empty
Streets" has also been licensed to commercials including a spot for the Toyota
IQ. Plus, more than a dozen
of the world's biggest dance
compilations have licensed
the track, and it remains the
most popular and downloaded song on Tietso's "In
Search Of Sunrise" compilation.
Late Night Alumni signed
with Ultra Records in 2009,
for their sophomore album
"Of Birds, Bees, Butterflies,
Etc." The single, "You Can
Be The One," and - "Uncharted" were featured in '
Warner Bros. Pictures
"Crazy, Stupid, Love." starring Steve Carrell, Ryan
Gosling, Julianne Moore,
and Emma Stone. Later in
2011, their third album

and their fourth record The

Darrell Wallace Jr. makes history at Martinsville Speedway in Camping World

Truck Series Kroger 200
Wallace, driving a
Toyota for Kyle Busch Motorsports, started third and led 96
laps, including the final 50, to
get the victory in his 19th career start in the series.
Like any other firsttime winner, Wallace was overcome by emotion when the
checkered flag came into view.
Im speechless, he
said as he climbed from his
truck. God, I couldnt even
hold it together coming off

(Turn) Four with the checkered.
I still cant.
The 20-year-old
driver from Mobile, Ala., said
he was proud to have scored his
first win at a track not far down
the road from Scotts hometown of Danville, Va.
To do it here in the
backyard of Wendell Scott
means so much more, and like
itll take tomorrow for this to
Getty Images for NASCAR
Nearly 50 years ago,

on Dec. 1, 1963, at a dirt track
in Jacksonville, Fla., the late
Wendell Scott made history by
becoming the first AfricanAmerican to win a major
NASCAR race.
On Saturday at Martinsville Speedway, Darrell
Wallace Jr. became the second
by winning the Kroger 200 in
the Camping World Truck Series.
Darrell Wallace Jr. celebrates his history-making win in the Kroger

200 at Martinsville Speedway.
finally hit me, so I might be

crying again tomorrow, but this
is an emotional win and a big
win for all of us, he said.
Wallace is now the
second member of NASCARs
Drive for Diversity program to
win a major event, joining Kyle
Larson, who is part Japanese
and who won a Truck race at
Rockingham Speedway in
April. And Wallace knows and
embraces the fact that as such,
hes now in the position of
being a role model for other upand-coming young racers.
I want to be a role
model and inspiration to the
younger kids, and just change
the sport as a whole and change

it for the better; bring in a new
face and just new activity into
the sport, and winning helps
everything, he said. Winning
this big race can always do that,
and thats what Ive been trying
to do all year to get my
name out there, to keep pushing, to strive for kids younger
than me to get in the sport and
be here sitting here talking to
[the media] one day.
Wallaces win came a
week after he endured the hardest crash of his career, at Talladega Superspeedway, which
ironically was the same place
that Scotts Sprint Cup career
essentially ended because of injuries suffered in a wreck in

1973.
Asked at Martinsville
who he would like to call if

Honda gets back on track

with another new Civic
By Christopher A. Randazzo
There is good news and bad
news about the 2013 Honda
Civic. The good news is that it
has been redesigned and is allnew. The bad news is because
the reason why we have an allnew Civic is because last years
all-new 2012 Civic didnt go
over well with the media and
many felt it didnt live up to
Hondas reputation. So Honda
quickly went back to the drawing board and here we have
another new Civic upon us.
This time, though, it scores.
The 2013 Civic really is a refresh of last years new design.
Most of the gripes centered
around the boring interior, and
thats where this new Civic receives its biggest updates.
Honda addressed the Civics interior by tossing out the cheap,
ugly plastic and in its place
used higher quality materials.
That along with a dash and
door panels designed to flow
better together brings more flavor to the cabin. The fix works
well and the Civic should bring
smiles to anyone sitting in it.
Some things were left unchanged, and thats ok. The fa-

miliar two-tier dash display remains, sporting a digital

speedometer and gas gauge sitting right at the base of the
windshield while in the more
traditional location (right behind the steering wheel), sits an
analog tachometer. And all the
controls and switches continue
to be placed in ideal locations
and are simple to use, although
when equipped with the navigation system like the test vehicle, the number of buttons can
be a bit overwhelming.
The exterior of the new Civic
benefits from a wider grille and
chrome accents along with a
hoodline that sits a little lower,
giving the car a sportier stance.
At the rear there is a broader
bumper, fancier taillights and a
lower diffuser. Overall, the new
Civic appears a bit more up-
scale than its predecessor.

Under the hood there was no
need to mess with a good thing.
The Civic marches on using the
same 1.8liter i-VTEC fourcylinder engine as before.
Rated at 140 hp and 128 lb-ft
of torque, its no rocket, but it
propels the Civic nicely. Fuel
economy is good as you would
expect from Honda, achieving
28 mpg in the city and 36 mpg
on the highway with the standard five-speed manual transmission and 28 city / 39
highway with the optional fivespeed automatic transmission.
Besides the redesign, Honda
has significantly expanded the
list of standard features that
Civics come with. Now, every
Civic will have Bluetooth,

exactly what we expect from Honda.
The test vehicle Honda sent was a fully loaded

EX model with the navigation system. As with
most Hondas, I found it drove extremely well.
Power was plentiful from the four-cylinder, much
in part to the Civics light weight. While I would
have opted for the manual transmission, I really
couldnt find any fault with the five-speed automatic as it shifted smoothly and at the right times.
The Civics handling characteristics are flawless
as is the steering wheel its small size makes it
fit perfectly in its drivers hands.

TO
Distracting Attention From a Hard-Working Kitchen

By Rose Bennett Gilbert
Q: Instead of taking out the

entire wall between the kitchen
and dining room, the past owners who remodeled the house
left a half-wall as a passthrough. I find it unnerving to
have dinner guests looking in at
my messy kitchen, but I've gotten to like the convenience of
the pass-through.
My husband thinks we should

hang louvered doors in the
opening, but that really defeats
the purpose. Anything else you
could suggest?
A: I'd suggest borrowing an

elegant but simple idea
from "Creating the Inspired
House" by John Connell (the

Taunton Press). Browsing for
clever solutions to sore spots in
today's homes, Connell focuses
on the pictured pass-through
(from the cook's eye view,
looking toward the dining room
table).
bowls and tchotchkes, the handsomely hand-crafted shelves

form a grid that draws attention
from the more utilitarian function of the pass-through. Dinner
guests may admire the display
without really looking into the
"messy" kitchen beyond.
Themed as a display space for a

collection of attractive ceramic
Talk about sleight of hand! As

with much of interior decorating, it's the ultimate effect that
matters.
Rose Bennett Gilbert is the coauthor of "Manhattan Style,"
"Hampton Style," and five other
books on interior design.

Perfect Approach to
Restoration is Imperfection
Rose Bennett Gilbert
Q: We are redoing the kitchen in our

19th-century brownstone. We took
down the wall between the kitchen and
breakfast room, but now we are worried that we've spoiled the character of
the old house. What kind of cabinets
and fixtures should we put in to be true
to the time period?
A: Restoring a vintage home authentically requires painstaking research and

careful editing of materials. Sure, the
rest of us old-house lovers rejoice when
new owners are willing to spend the
time and money to recreate the right
historic attitude.
Easy for us; it's not our time and
money. Continues on page 6

Decorating Windows Gives You the

Shutters? Great Idea!
Overarching window problems? Easily solved with new wood-look shutters that circumnavigate radiators and add architectural heft to this dining room. Photo courtesy of Hunter Douglas.
Q: How do you handle a living room with three arched

windows across the side wall?
To complicate matters, the center window comes all way to
the floor, but the side windows
are short because they're both
over radiators. I'd curtain the
entire wall and be done with it,
but my husband says it's a mistake to muffle the heat from the
radiators.
A: He has a definite point,

but that's no motive to let reason interfere with your aesthetics.
There are any number of ways
to deal with this window wall
successfully, but you still must
factor practicality into even the
best-looking solution. That
means that unless they look out
on a neighbor's brick wall, you
want to be able to open and
close the windows and the window coverings.
Among your options for a more
formal room: swags and jabots

installed over short curtains
that line up mid-window across
all three, leaving the top panes
open to the light. The center
one will obviously be longer
to the floor while the shorter
side curtains leave the radiators
free to go about their work.
In a less formal setting, you
could leave the top arches
beautifully bare and substitute
cotton cafe curtains below.
Or consider the more architectural solution pictured, where
all three windows are covered
with wood-look shutters including the arches. The shutters
(NewStyle hybrids from Hunter
Douglas,
www.hunterdouglas.com.) look
like hardwood,
but they are less
costly and less
susceptible to the
heat-cold extremes near window panes the
manufacturer
promises. More
good news: The
shutters come in four different

wood colors, the better to blend
with other woodwork in the
room.
Q: Our house is a taupe with

white trim and black shutters. I
want to paint our front door a
deep red ... not maroon but really red. ("Fire and Ice" red, if
you're old enough to remember.)
My question is, do we paint
both the inside and outside of
the door? The front hall is a
sage green.
A: Any red in sight?

If so, a "Fire and Ice"
door could be fun. If
not, match the inner
door color to the other
woodwork in your entryway. Choosing
door colors is an open
and shut case against
eccentricity.
P.S.: Remember "Fire
and Ice?" I still buy it!

Want to Bring Down the House?

Use Illusion to Lower the Ceiling
Q: We have a large collection

of Ukrainian textiles, family
pieces brought over in the early
20th century and kept in my
mother-in-law's closet until we
found them clearing out her
apartment last winter. There
are embroidered pillows, men's
dress shirts and table runners,
all hand-worked and wonderful. We'd like to bring them out
and show them off, but I am
afraid they will "take over" our
home, they are so colorful
dare I say, "ethnic"?
A: Dare to say it! There's
great renewed interest in celebrating one's individual heritage in the way you decorate
your home. Ditto handcrafts,
one-of-a-kind furnishings created by today's generation of
artisans working in the tradition of the arts & crafts movement of the early 20th century.
It's the country home of designer Marian McEnvoy, who
"has spent her life making a
bold statement in fashion and
interior design," writes Chippy
Irvine in her intriguing book
"Shades of Country (The
Taunton Press).
Marian has created what the
author calls "Uzbekistan on the
Hudson," adding suzani trimmings over all the white cur-
tains, lampshades and pillows

in the room. Suzanis, FYI, are
hand embroideries traditionally
made by the women in various
Asian tribes, mostly in Uzbekistan but also in Afghanistan,
Chippy Irvine explains. It's an
art form involving designs and
motifs that may go back 2,000
years and can take years to
make, even with several
women working on the same
piece.
By using a glue gun instead of
needle and thread, Marian
made short work of adding the
brilliant ethnic color and pattern that comes as a surprise in
her early American stone
house.
Q: We are remodeling our

master bath and want to include some "personal indulgences," as my husband calls
them, such as a whirlpool tub, a
double-sink lavatory and
maybe even a small fireplace
how cool is that!
Our question is about the high
12-foot ceiling (this is an old
Victorian house). We're looking
for cozy, and that's hard with
such a high ceiling. What do
you suggest?
A: Who says you have to go

on living with that high ceiling? Not when there are relatively easy ways to bring it
down ... or create the illusion
that you have.
Dark colors often do the trick.
If you paint your ceiling deep
brown, midnight blue or even
black, it will appear lower.
Cozily set off by decorative columns in a high-ceiling bath, a

whirlpool tub boasts its own TV and fireplace. Photo courtesy

Simple color alchemy: dark
colors advance to the eye, making the surface look closer.
Light colors recede, making the

surface look farther away.

Wonderful for the country: You're helping protect our architectural heritage. Challenging for homeowners, who may be facing such an
undertaking for the first time. To quote an intrepid friend, who came up delighted but dazzled
from a "six-week" renovation that took nearly
three years: "It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience
because I am never doing that again!"
But I don't mean to discourage you. There's a
rainbow of rewards at the end of your project.
And getting there may indeed be half the fun
especially if you have a wise guide like New
York designer Kathryn Scott, whose design studio helped the homeowners turn back the calendar for the pictured handsome brownstone.
Coming home to colorful country, glued-on suzanis (Asian embroideries) adds ethnic flavor to a
white living room. Photo: Randy O'Rourke, Courtesy The Taunton Press.
Built in Brooklyn Heights, N.Y., in 1864, the

house boasted elegant features like ornate plasterwork ceilings. But it had been built to serve family life as it was lived nearly a century-and-a-half
ago. Today's lifestyle calls for open spaces and
easy communication between them. So, the designer joined the work and eating areas, keeping
the original fireplace and plasterwork.
She designed the new space to look like a library,

Scott says, using age-appropriate materials, such
as walnut cabinet fronts and restoration glass
(waves and bubbles) for the sliding doors. The
kitchen ceiling had been dropped during an earlier "updating," so she also brought in a plaster
master to recreate the ornate overhead by copying the original ceiling over the staircase.
Another way to make the new feel old: Find
hardware with an antique finish. "Not lacquered,"
she insists. "You want the finish to wear off
slowly, just like the real thing. Hardware should
change with time and take on a life of its own."
The keyword is "character," Scott says. "You
don't want to be perfect." That is not always an
easy concept for her clients to accept, the designer confides. "It often takes agonizing on the
clients part before they can see that imperfections
add character and are more beautiful and interesting."

Ideas to the Rescue
Q: Our living room/dining

room is not very large, so we

table into the living area when
we have extra guests. I can't
help but think that it looks like
some kind of prayer meeting.
All those legs!
Helgeson's clients had nurtured their dream

house for years, she reports, "and were finally
able to build it with everything they ever
wanted." That includes posh materials, such as
those marble countertops and real hardwood cabinetry from Wood-Mode (www.woodmode.com), also the source of the decorative
columns and wide mouldings.
Even more dramatic, borrow designer Peggy

Helgeson's imposing idea for the high-ceiling
pictured master bath. She created a room-withina-room, adding arches and decorative posts to set
the tub off from the rest of the bath. Sunk in a
marble-topped surround, the tub becomes the
centerpiece of the bath, an environment that's all
about "personal indulgences" it has its own
TV and fireplace set into the dividing wall.
PHOTOWOOD-MODE.COM
All that wood in a bath, you might ask? Thank

today's protective wood finishes. New surface
coatings render wood all but impervious to normal bathroom moisture. That goes for wood
floors in a bath, too, as long as you don't leave
puddles standing around for long.
We have a three-seater sofa and

two armless chairs in the living
"room," but maybe there's another way to provide extra seating when we need it?
A: You are not alone with

your problem: smallish rooms
especially rooms that do
double-duty like living and dining need solutions that go
beyond the usual sofa-chair categories. Furniture manufacturers have responded with clever
solutions, such as low stools
that stow under cocktail tables
and storage benches that also
make for sturdy seating.
Sectional sofas are another
smart answer. Angle a sectional
so it embraces the cocktail
table, and you multiply seating
opportunities exponentially
no arms to limit the number of
sitters who can fit on the "L."
Interior designer Gail ShieldsMiller has yet another answer:
ottomans. Like you, she dislikes seeing all those chair legs
in a room. Instead, she says, "I
love ottomans. I'm an ottoman
freak!"
Touch of the wild: Zebra print ottoman adds extra seating

and extra umph to a smallish living room.
Photo courtesy of Peter Rymwid.
Shields-Miller's prefers big ottomans, too, as you can see in
the pictured living room. The
large zebra-print ottoman is always on hand for extra seating.
Moreover, it fulfills the designer's credo: She's known for
mixing styles and periods. In
her rooms, colors don't match
on purpose.
"Matching makes a room look

like a hotel!" Shields-Miller insists. Hence, the horizontally
striped curtains made of a
synthetic fabric that poufs like
crinoline do not match the
taupe-gray sofa, which does not
match the rug, which has a suggestion of orange. And the rug
definitely does not match the
pillows tossed on the sofa: "like
adding lipstick it's bold but
not in your face!"
How to cultivate that captivating near-miss at home? "Take
out the Benjamin Moore
swatch of the color you like
and go down or up two
steps. It will bring your room
alive." Learn more at shieldsinteriors.com.
Rx for the Color-Phobic

Q: My house is just plain dull. It's

because I grew up with only beiges
and neutrals. My mother was a child
of the Depression and thought everything she bought had to last forever,
meaning no color to "get tired of." My
midlife crisis is about wanting color,
but at the same time I don't know how
to handle it. Can you help my phobia?
A: Here's my prescription: Take an
But we're not talking Malcolm Gladwell's l0,000 hours that's what it
takes to become a pro yourself. You
just need to invest time enough to feel
both excited by and at-ease in an environment that jumps with color.
Nisbet cautions, "using strong saturations of color requires the utmost discernment. ... It can be a high-wire act,"
the designer admits, "but if you can
keep your balance, the effect is transformative."
"High punch color" is what Amanda

Nisbet calls it in her new book, "Dazzling Design" (Stewart, Tabori and
Chang). Browse a few pages, and
you'll begin to tingle, I promise, with
the sheer fun of unexpected color used
in unexpected places. Like the vivid
purple library we show here.
Yet another word of advice from a top

designer, Mario Buatta, whose sevenpound tome, "Fifty Years of American
Interior Decoration" is due out this
month from Rizzoli. Mario urges his
color-phobic clients "to buy art," he
told an adoring audience at the annual
"What's New/What's Next" event at
the New York Design Center last
month.

but amateurs can learn color, just as
you can learn to dance or play a good
game of tennis.
No need to whisper, "Quiet, please."

The colors may dance and patterns
dazzle the eyes, but the net effect is
calming and contemplative, as befits a
room devoted to reading, relaxing and
thinking.

Like her, I now want color and
pattern in my life, but I have no
clue how to go about mixing
things up. I'm not afraid to use
just one color and one pattern
and leave everything else neutral. But I'd like a lot! Are there
any tricks to mixing several
patterns together?
A: If I weren't sure you've already

thought of them, I'd mention sleep sofas
and Murphy beds, both time-tested solutions to sleep-space shortages.
A: Oh, yes. And happily, once

you get over your fear they are
not hard to learn.
Your hall half-wall sounds creative and

doable. It might also discourage some of
your young guests (at least those who've
read Poe's "Cask of Amontillado," wherein
a man immures another behind a brick wall
in the wine cellar).
Easiest route to a successful

mix of patterns: Let a professional do it for you. There's a
wealth of home fashions coordinates on today's market. The
pros have already taken the
worry out of putting a room together by creating entire collections, including wall coverings,
fabrics, even rugs and pillows,
that work perfectly together.
Guests at Terry John Woods' country house

in Maine would be luckier. The
designer/author offers a friendlier solution
to housing guests, seen in this photo borrowed from Woods' handsome new book,
"Farmhouse Modern" (Stewart, Tabori and
Chang). It, too, is in an upstairs hall that is
just wide enough to accommodate a mattress on top of a low storage unit.
Framed-in and hung with a heavy curtain,
the sleeping nook is fairly private. It's certainly attractive, with its linen damask fabric and interior decoration including a
naive portrait hung in lieu of an ordinary
headboard.

Q: What to do with all those souvenirs of

summer's travels?
A: Top designer Vicente Wolf has a good

suggestion: Before you buy anything, try to
decide how you will fit it into your home
life, he told a packed house at the New
York Design Center's "What's New/What's
Next" event last week.
"When I'm traveling, I try to look at objects
as something I can decorate with, not as
souvenirs," Vicente said. As a mega-designer to millionaires and bold-face names,
he is shopping for more than his own home
when he travels.
Which is every winter to ever more exotic

places, like Nepal and India India was in
the spotlight at the Design Center; Wolf
paired with Stephanie Odegard, the remarkable former Peace Corps volunteer who has
become the go-to source for rugs and custom furniture handmade the traditional way
in India and Nepal.
Thanks to Wolf and Stephanie, we Westerners can live at ease with exotica from the
East: rugs woven of Himalayan wool
"the world's best wool," according to
Stephanie tables and jali (window
screens) carved from a single piece of marble and carved teak chests skinned in
bronze, brass, copper or silver. And then
Doing it yourself is no mystery,

either, once you discover the
magic formula: Choose patterns that have a common color
denominator. As long as they
share a prominent hue and vary
enough in scale, many different
patterns can co-exist beautifully say, a large floral and a
medium-sized plaid with several stripes that vary in width,

plus a mini-geometric and
some solid colors in a variety
of surface textures, just for the
fun of it.
To perfect their mix of patterns,
professional designers work up
a swatch board, using goodsized cuts of fabrics and wall
coverings. By standing back
and eyeing them altogether,
even a beginner can see if they
get on well or if they don't.
The photo we show here
should help. Known for his
down-home farmhouse-style,
designer Terry John Woods has
gone off on an interesting new
tact in his latest book, "Farmhouse Modern" (Stewart, Tabori and Chang), wherein he
updates his relaxed, rustic
rooms with surprisingly contemporary touches.
Here he transforms his home
office into a modern space
with a couple of genius
strokes: a dramatically overscaled wallpaper pattern that
plays a background role to an
equally dramatic (but smaller)
geometric pattern on the lamp
shade. Note that they share the
same color palette. And there in
a nutshell, you have the secret
of mixing patterns successfully.
there's that Indian palette, colors to knock

your socks off as it did Wolf's on his
first visit. "I went to India to get jolted out
of black and neutrals," the New York-based
designer said. At the time, he was working
on a line of colors for Pittsburgh Paint, and
India added a high-decibel kick:
"The Indians have such freedom about mixing colors! Even the women street sweepers
wear bright yellow and pink saris!"
But will it play in Peoria? Wolf thinks
