Easterday Dental Clinic
Dr. Greg Easterday and Dental Assistant Cindy Tusing
I am again mining from one of Jeff Kenney’s Throw Back Thursday articles. Dr. Greg Easterday is one of our founder’s grandsons and as such commissioned Easterday Construction Co., Inc. to complete an addition and renovation project at his dental clinic at 303 North Main Street in Culver. Unfortunately this isn’t one I can shed a lot of light on since it was well before the beginning of my tenure with Easterday Construction. At that time there were still several employee’s that had the Easterday name here including an uncle and cousin of Greg.

Duke Tumatoe Free Concert
This is my Musical Recommendation for the week. Duke Tumatoe & The Power Trio will be appearing Friday Night at River Park Square. This is part of The Mayor’s Month of Music. Becky and I just recently went to see him in Monticello on the Madam Carroll. The music was good and the presentation was entertaining. You won’t be disappointed if you check out this free concert.
Qwerty Revisited

Last year I wrote a post (here) on QWERTY keyboards and why I thought we were taking a step back with two finger tying on iPads and their ilk. For anyone intrigued by the birth and widespread adoption of the QWERTY keyboard, I ran across an in depth article at discovermagazine.com called “The Curse of QWERTY” that you can read here.
Canopy Stairs
Canopy Stairs are a cool idea I ran across in a tweet from the Hager Group. Designed by a pair of graduates of the Royal College of Art, the stairs create a spiral stair case around the trunk of a living tree without harming the tree.
While the whole system was worked out with consultation with arboriculturists to assure there would be no detrimental effects on the trees, there sure is a lot of backlash from the tree huggers in the comment section at the bottom of the article. What they seem to be missing is that this is designed to be a temporary, reusable system. The system is designed to distribute the loading around the trunk and would appear to minimize any damage to the tree. As a Landscape Architect, I would suggest this is good stewardship. It enhances the highest, best use of a natural resource with minimal or no damage.

Berger Audiology, LLC
Rebecca L. Berger, AuD
A lot of you know that my wife, Dr. Rebecca Berger (Becky), has been an audiologist working at The Hearing Clinic, under Otorhinolaryngology, Inc. for over 25 years. (Both of those entities are now under Allied Physicians of Michiana, also known as APOM.) This Spring she decided to go out on her own and is starting Berger Audiology, LLC. She had always hoped to convince The Hearing Clinic to expand the services in Plymouth, but they never saw the potential that she did. The parting was as amicable as those things can be. Becky is in the process of finding a location for her new practice, purchasing equipment, developing a logo, developing a website and all the other fun things that go along with starting a new business.
