Saxony continues growth Saxony Hall

By Ann Craig-Cinnamon • ann@youarecurrent.com More than 15 years ago, if you were driving up I-69

at Exit 10, you would have seen a shell of a strip mall Lake District

called Hamilton Commons. The Amish Furniture Mart was the only actual shop in the center as the rest of it sat empty for many years.

The area today is unrecognizable since Saxony Management Company bought the strip out of bankruptcy in 1998 and started buying land around it.

Hamilton Commons is long gone, but in its place is a huge mixed-use development both north and south of I-69 in Fishers and in Noblesville.

Sean McKinnies, senior vice president of Saxony Management, said the total development is 750 acres with the Simon-owned Hamilton Town Center in the middle like the hole of a doughnut. In fact, Saxony property, he says, often gets confused with Hamilton Town Center.

“Everything that’s happened out here has been fantastic for Saxony. Hamilton Town Center with Simon coming out and building 600,000 square feet of retail kind of made a name for the interchange along with the three major hospital systems in Central Indiana: St.Vincent, IU (Health) and Community (North), all three here,” he says.

To the north of I-69 in Noblesville is the Saxony Corporate Campus with a mix of retail, restaurants, hotels, light industrial and flex office space. Cabela’s is building one of its huge stores at Marketplace at Saxony Corporate Campus and there are negotiations going on for the land around Cabela’s including with several restaurants that would be new to Indiana according to McKinnies.

To the south in Fishers is Saxony Village, which is

development

also a mixed-use development with residential and commercial property, a lake district and a medical arts district. It has 2,000 units of single- and multi-family homes. The lots for single family homes, of which there are 450, are sold out. McKinnies said Saxony just received approval from the Fishers Zoning Board to build another 75 units of townhomes.

Some of this growth has gone unnoticed because of Saxony’s low-key approach. “What we hoped to accomplish with our street designs and our landscaping, is that you would know that you were entering some place special. You didn’t see big signs in your face saying, ‘Hey, you’re in Saxony’, but you would know when you pulled in that you were someplace different,” McKinnies said.

The Lake District, including Saxony Beach which is now operated by the Town of Fishers, is the company’s next big push. The town is building Saxony Hall on the lake as a gathering place for banquets and wedding receptions. It should be open by the summer of 2015. Two other buildings along the lake are planned to include restaurants and office space.

McKinnies said he believes that the company’s marketing program is part of what makes it so unique. The program includes such things as the Farmers’ Market, movies in the park, concerts in the park and Oktoberfest, for which it partners with Fishers Freedom Festival.

“What we try to do is create programs and figure out what really needs to last and then find a partner to take it over because we’re a developer. We’ll sell out of land at some point and we’ll be gone.” he said.

Those programs bring 60,000 people to the Saxony development every year.

McKinnies estimates it will take another seven to 10 years to complete the Saxony development.

Christmas in October

Fall container class

“Godzilla” was one-half of a terrific summer action movie. Once big G finally arises from the ocean and starts laying the smackdown on his equally huge bat-like foes, “Godzilla” is as fun and entertaining a film as we saw all this season. But you have to wade through the dreary first 60 minutes to get to the good 60. To read more, visit currentnightandday. com.

The Fishers Freedom Festival will host the annual “Christmas in October Craft Fair” on Oct. 11 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Fishers High School (13000 Promise Road) in Fishers.

Fishers’ finest evening

By Ann Craig-Cinnamon • ann@youarecurrent.com

The sixth-annual Harvest Wine Tasting at the Ambassador House on Sept. 6 drew 300 people and raised more than Fundraiser $13,500. The event included painting sessions with Wine and Canvas, a photo booth, two musicians, three wine tasting stations, gourmet hors d’oeuvres and a silent auction.

Ambassador House curator Beth Clark said it was by far their largest attendance and the money raised goes to keeping up the historic house.

“This money is essential to keeping the house open to the public and for events, and to developing community programs like our Victorian Family Christmas, Community Volunteers, house tours, and historical lecture series, which we intend to resume in 2015,” Clark said. “Additionally, the money goes toward the operating budgets of our committees, including the Garden committee, which keeps the beautiful flower beds and rose garden in good shape.”

The original house was built more than 170 years ago as a two-story log home on what is now the northwest corner of 96th Street and Allisonville Road. The home became part of a farm owned by Addison and India Harris at the turn of the 20th century. A prominent Indianapolis attorney, Harris served as U.S. ambassador to AustriaHungary from 1899-1901.

A collaborative effort between Fishers Town Council and members of the Fishers Historic

Preservation Committee saved the house which was scheduled to be destroyed and it was moved to its current location in 1996.

Board member April Hensley of Leech Hensley Architects was instrumental in getting the house in the condition it is today following its move.

She likes what has been achieved.

“I think where they are headed is perfect. Just to be able to allow the public to come and use it and to activate it every single day,” Hensley said. ”It’s used daily by people walking in the park.

What a great place to come to see something historic. It’s not that you get to do that every day. This you get to walk it,” she says.

Youth group kicks off campaign

Fishers gets green award

By Holly Demaree news@currentinfishers.com

When the Indiana Association of Cities and Towns was created in 1891, the goal was to Recognition form a non-profit organization that supports towns and cities across the state and to recognize those that go beyond regulations and laws to better their community. For the second time in two years, Fishers has been awarded an honor by the IACT. The town has received the Green Community of the Year Award.

The Green Communities Initiative was created in 2008 to recognize cities and towns that focus on making their community greener.

“It’s not any one individual thing that we do, rather it is a combination of different initiatives and projects that we work on,” Fishers Town Manager Scott Fadness said.

One example Fadness gives is that Fishers recently introduced a cleaner fuel for the mowers used to help maintain the town.

“We are able to use alternative fuels in our lawn mowers,” said Fadness. “We implemented a propane system into our

lawn mowers so it burns cleaner than traditional gas mowers.”

In 2012 Fishers won the Green Community of the Year Award and, since then, ideas of how to become more environmentally aware and friendly have been researched or enacted. For instance, lower impact developments are encouraged for those who are constructing a new building in Fishers.

There are opportunities to be more environmentally conscious with their development and design.

“I don’t know if we’ve done anything differently we’ve just continued to further our initiatives…. I think we are continuing on the same path as in 2012 we are just broadening the scope and gaining a better understanding of what we can do in the community to be environmentally cautious,” says Fadness.

Other examples include Recycling Day and Prescription Drug Drop Off program which allow residents of Fishers to get rid of items they no longer need in a safe and proper manner for the environment as well as for residents.

Fadness said the town of Fishers is always considering ways to keep the town environmentally green but also ways to stay economically healthy to benefit the community.

Redistricting is coming to HSE The Hamilton Southeastern School Corp. has endured some pain lately. School administrators had to cut over $2.8 milplain talk lion from the current school year budget. It is looking for a permanent new superintendent after Brian Smith left to lead the Indiana School Boards Association.

Now the school system is faced with another painful process - redistricting. All schools, grades kindergarten through eighth grade, will be subjected to this process of changing the boundaries that determine where your child will attend school. There will be no changes in high school boundaries in this redistricting.

This is a painful but necessary process. The western part of Fishers is not growing at the speed we are seeing student populations swell in the eastern end of the HSE school district.

This is not a new process for HSE Schools. The last redistricting was done five years ago.

The first step is forming a committee to review all the current and projected enrollment information.

There will be meetings for public input where anyone may speak their mind. Officials are hoping to have the redistricting plan in place by the end of 2014, with the changes effective for the school year starting in August 2015.

The school board is being advised to use three

priorities in making redistricting decisions…

• Assign students to attend schools closest to their homes.

• Design a “feeder” system for the high schools.

• Maintain neighborhoods and subdivisions.

School officials emphasized they would follow these three precepts “to the greatest degree possible.” This redistricting process is an effort by HSE Schools to allow each school building to reach a student population close to its capacity, while at the same time allowing space for some growth.

When my daughters were in HSE Schools, we were watching that process closely. Where your children will attend school is a very big piece of information any parent wants to know.

By beginning the process now, and completing the work by the end of the year, parents will know many months in advance where their children will be attending school in August, 2015.

This also allows time for the high schools to complete their required planning for the next school year.

HSE parents should pay attention to the process, plan to attend information meetings and speak at public hearings if you have specific ideas on the redistricting plans.

CICOA provides resource network

By Beth Taylor • news@currentinfishers.com

Formerly known as the Central Indiana Council on Aging, CICOA Aging and In-Home Solutions is an invaluable resource center resources for older adults and people with disabilities, as well as for those who care for them. CICOA serves those in need in Marion County and the seven surrounding counties.

“Our goal is to meet the unmet needs of those who need help,” said Kate Kunk, caregiver options counselor at CICOA. Areas in which CICOA can provide assistance include finding help with personal care and daily living tasks, meals and transportation.

CICOA’s Way2Go transportation service helps people who can’t drive or who need special assistance with transportation. CICOA drivers can help seniors get to medical appointments, pharmacies and grocery stores.

The State Health Insurance Assistance Program helps seniors figure out Medicare options.

SHIP counseling is provided through telephone or face-to-face interactions, public education presentations, and media activities.

“Counselors are trained to provide unbiased advice about Medicare and healthcare options,” said Kunk. Counselors can also help with finding assistance for insurance co-pays, monthly premiums, and annual deductibles.

“I believe the Fishers team is in an excellent position to identify potential consumers of CICOA services and refer them to CICOA wherever possible. One of the great things about the partnership is that it will help to get the word out about what is available. I am always surprised to discover that someone is unaware that services exist—and yet, this is not an uncommon scenario,” said Kunk.

Eller Bridge between Fishers and Carmel in the 1950s. (Submitted photo)

Was bridge victiom of arson?

By Beth Clark • news@currentinfishers.com

Tall tales of romantic liaisons, hauntings, and travelers’ odd encounters comprise a significant portion of the history back in the day of Indiana’s covered bridges. Nostalgia for our covered bridges is strong, especially considering that from 1820 until 1922 Indiana builders constructed as many as 600 covered bridges throughout the state.

Folklore also explains why a bridge was covered, including that its resemblance to a barn persuaded a horse to cross, or that its roof and sides removed the frightening sight and sound of rushing water. Practical truth is far less entertaining: the roof and siding on a bridge protected the wooden timbers and especially their joints from the weather. An uncovered bridge had a lifespan of only 10 to 12 years, while a covered one could last indefinitely.

Unfortunately, despite their coverings, very few of Indiana’s old bridges have endured. New roadways altered travel routes and neglected bridges fell into disrepair; or in other cases, large modern bridges simply replaced old structures.

A number of bridges were victims of arson, a possible explanation for the burning of Fishers’ covered bridge that until 1957 provided the most direct route across the White River linking Fish-

ers and Carmel.

Eller Bridge, also called Eller-Heady Bridge, was built in 1869 by Josiah Durfee and Company, lumber mill owners and bridge builders from Noblesville. Eller Bridge, named after one of Hamilton County’s first settlers, Joseph Eller and his family who owned land surrounding the bridge, spanned the White River along 116th Street.

The Eller Bridge burned in 1957, making travel between Fishers and Carmel difficult and disrupting commerce between the towns. A new modern bridge was not completed until 1959. The cause of the fire is undetermined; arson remains a possibility.

One is tempted to spin a tall tale regarding the burning of the bridge. It is notable that in 1954, the boundary of Clay Township moved from Range Line Road east to the White River, making Delaware Township one of the smallest in the state.

In 1957, the year the bridge burned, the metropolitan school district of Clay Township was organized, a process that had caused dissent between a faction in Fishers who wanted the Fishers’ school to join the Carmel system across the river, and a faction that wanted it to remain independent in Fishers. The demise of the bridge that impacted ties between Fishers and Carmel for two years certainly reinforced Fishers’ independence.

County to change health-care providers, leaving UMR for Anthem

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

Hamilton County employees will see a change Dillinger said he and the county insurance in their healthcare coverage at the start of 2015. committee met several times with UMR presiHamilton County Comdent Jay Anliker warning him that this business missioner Steve Dillhad to change “to pretty much no avail.” inger announced the Dillinger said in past years the county’s change during a joint meeting with the claims ratios have been pretty low but Hamilton County Council on Sept. 5.

Even kids can have fun at a wedding

By Healther Kestian The kids were in their first wedding over Labor Day. My brother-in-law and soon-to-be sisterin-law kindly invited them to plain talk join in the celebration of their special day. The oldest got to lead the way for the wedding party down the aisle. His words: “You mean I get to be the line leader? Awesome!” Incidentally, this is his favorite task at school. It also meant mommy got to order special outfits. Is there anything cuter than little people dressed up in suits? Absolutely not.

Something you need to know about our boys is that they are boys, through and through. Getting them in these suits was a little less than a pleasure. Holy change jar, putting suits on writhing children is right up there with scaling a 14,000-foot mountain in Colorado. Both are exhausting but the view is worth it!

The youngest started taking his suit off about two minutes after the ceremony ended. To give you some perspective, not everyone had left their chairs. What do you do with a child who is crying and trying to take his clothes off? You help him take off his clothes, of course! After a quick shuttle inside and a change of clothes into something he is a pinch more accustomed too,

he was ready to party. Both of them ended up in comfortable clothes, and once again, I hypothesize the rapid change is caused by the fact that they are 100 percent boy.

Throughout the evening, the bride glowed. She was amazing and her kindness shone through the evening. I have always enjoyed our time with her over holidays or on vacation. She is giving, smart and wickedly funny. She treats my kids like they are little princes. I am thrilled that the two of them found each other. You can plainly see how happy they are together—it truly is a sight to behold.

It gives me hope to see such happiness in others, to watch the first moments of the beginning of a family. If there is anything I have learned throughout these years on this planet, it is that love is perennial. With warmth, laughter, light— love will grow, thrive and conquer, season after season, year after year. To all the happy couples who are starting their adventures together—enjoy all life and love has to offer because it has much to give.

Local fitness advocate to host Walk from Obesity event

By Holly Kline • news@currentinfishers.com Local fitness advocate Robanne Robin, along with Community Health Network, is hosting a Walk from Obesity event cover story Oct. 4 from 9 to 11:30 a.m. at Garfield Park in Indianapolis. Kids walk free with an adult registration and Robin is hoping that people will take advantage of this opportunity to bring the whole family out for a morning of exercise and fun activities.

“I want to change the fitness future for Indianapolis-area kids and this walk is for all fitness levels, especially anyone who considers themselves out of shape,” said Robin. “The Walk from Obesity is designed to encourage people to get back on track, or stay on track, especially kids that may already be struggling with obesity.”

Robin is a Fishers resident, a YMCA National spokesperson, an author, registered nurse and fitness instructor. She is passionate about showing kids how to invest in their fitness future and she teaches hip hop classes for kids at the Fishers Y. The Walk from Obesity benefits the Obesity Action Coalition, which helps provide education and support for obesity issues. Robin has organized her own fundraising team called YMCA Team Strong. Those interested in participating can visit walkfromobesity.com, sign up for the Indianapolis walk and register with a team or as an individual.

“Anyone who joins my team should definitely bring a child with them!” urged Robin. “Each child on my team will receive a ‘Get Your STRONG On’ T-shirt and a certificate for a free ‘Building Your Fitness Future’ goal-setting session and group workout with me,” she said.

Robin loves seeing the reactions of the kids who take her fitness classes. “Their eyes light up and they are thrilled,” she said. “The kids leave the class with a big sense of accomplishment.

They feel a sense of pride.”

She added that the kids also learn that fitness can be fun and she hopes to spread that message with the Walk from Obesity event. Not

only will kids and their families have a chance to walk, there will also be a Kid Zone with activities available before and after the walk. “The YMCA of Greater Indianapolis has agreed to run the Kid Zone,” Robin said. She went on to the say that the Kid Zone will have soccer balls, an obstacle course, music and hip hop classes.

Robin explained that the Walk from Obesity course is an approximate one-mile loop around Garfield Park. Participants can walk as many loops as they want from 9 to 11 a.m. and Robin emphasized that the event is not a race. “It’s not about being better than everyone else, it’s about being better than you were yes-

terday,” she said.

Robin’s friend Margaret Meyer has an 8-year-old daughter who is concerned about body image.

Robin asked Meyer to do the Walk from Obesity with her team and Meyer decided that she and her daughter would do it together.

“I need to start now setting good examples and teaching her to be healthy and strong,” said Meyer. “I think the biggest benefit of doing this Walk from Obesity is that it has my daughter and me talking about making better, healthier choices in what we eat and to move everyday so that we can stay healthy and strong,” she continued.

Unfortunately, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 18 percent of kids in America ages 6 to 11 were obese in 2012 and that is up 11 percent from 1980.

“I’m so fired up to be the cheerleader to get

“If a kid starts out being active for 30 minutes a day, they’re setting themselves up for a healthier lifestyle.”

kids out there walking,” Robin said. “I think it’s easier to get them while they’re young. It’s so hard to change. If it was easy, we wouldn’t be having a Walk from Obesity event. The earlier you start something the easier it is to do it,” she said.

Robin hopes that events like the Walk from Obesity spark conversations about fitness, especially relating to kids. “If there is a fitness future for kids, it must start when they’re young and it should be planned for like a college fund,” Robin emphasized. “If a kid starts out being active for 30 minutes a day, they’re setting themselves up for a healthier lifestyle. They already have the habits in grained when they become adults.”

Need a break from mom duties

Tossing icy blanket on ALS challenge

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Water weighs slightly more than eight pounds per gallon. Ice is hard and pointy.

As the ice-bucket challenges in support of ALS continue, an interesting insurance point emerges. Current contributor Karl Ahlrichs of Gregory & Appel Insurance reminds us that liability insurance may not cover the ice-bucket dropee (if that’s the proper term) if there are damages and medical bills as a result of the fundraising stunt. It all started innocently enough, with small buckets and big laughs for a good cause. Millions of dollars have been raised, and the take is well more than any annual ALS campaign before it. Still, the “oneupmanship” took over, and the bucket became larger, colder, and potentially more dangerous.

Front-end loaders, 100-gallon barrels, airplane drops, etc., all were in the mix. Ahlrichs tells us liability insurance is intended to protect you from unknowingly causing harm, and as a willing participant you may be declined coverage by your insurance carrier when a claim is filed against you. There have been multiple hospitalizations and even more “fail videos” that are evidence that the trend of “bigger, colder and more spectacular” may not end as hoped.

Our advice? Participate if you wish, but keep it small, manageable and safe. Or, remember, you always are free to donate to the charity of your choice at any time - with or without ice water. We did it that way. Much drier and far more comfortable that way.

The long and winding road Commentary by Terry Anker Most times, the taxi driver simply ignores his patrons after the short negotiation of place and rate. Too often, once in the car the passenger can expect the driver to take a phone call and shout in some nearly indecipherable foreign tongue, confident in the expectation that the folks in the back seat are both incapable of understanding him and unworthy of his respect.

We endure the rudeness, pay the fare and exit the cab never again to interact with this nameless being in whom we’d just entrusted our lives.

Perhaps we’d glanced at the face on the license and amused ourselves by attempting to match the name with a country of origin. But is the failure to connect an expected, if not desired, part of the transaction? Have taxis, with thick glass and a rear-facing credit card machine, simply become a mobile ATM? Do we approach, run a card, get our desired outcome and still manage to avoid all human interaction?

Yet, is the alternative of an all-too-engaged service provider preferred? Do we hope to learn the family history of the person taking us to the airport? I tend to pick peace and quiet. He has a job to do and it does not include entertaining me. And, I value a moment to collect my thoughts and prepare for the next meeting. But what are we missing if we fail to connect with others who find their ways, by happenstance or intention, into our lives? What can we learn and what does it matter?

If it is impossible to know what lies ahead, then it is equally impossible to prospectively assign value to those we encounter. It is a long and winding road that carries us through life; and it beyond human capacity to determine who might be our guide, or driver, along the way.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK The follies which a man most regrets in life are those which he didn’t commit when he had the opportunity.

– Helen Rowland

Sometimes I just don’t want to be needed.

Maybe it’s this particular week or maybe it’s that I’m still adjusting to the school routine, but I am literally about to shiv humor the next person who asks for breakfast, a back rub, help with homework, or anything that involves me and/ or my superhuman, Jane-of-all-trades capabilities. Sometimes I just don’t want to be a mom!

A large part of this feeling, akin to a juiced lemon that’s not trashed because its rind is a key ingredient in the icing, is the nature of being an educator. Teaching high school math means I’m basically a surrogate parent to 180 of our future leaders. It’s taxing to say the least, especially on tests days when 123 of them realize they have no idea what I’ve been talking about for the last week and they all decide to take advantage of the fact that I am available for help at seven a.m. I’m a good enough actress to proceed with patience, but on the inside, I’m questioning the world’s chance of survival when this lot’s in charge.

(Kidding! You’re all brilliant!)

So after a day of helping everyone else’s teenagers, I then go home to my own four who’ve been left to their own devices for at least an hour or so. My oldest daughter wants me to listen as she talks stream-of-conscience-like about her day and her emotions and the latest drama. My youngest wants help with spelling and laundry and checking her anole (lizard) for signs of life. My oldest just wants me to take him driving so he can practice his questionable round-about skills while listening to his music and then hopefully convince me to buy him Subway. And my middle son sits so quietly while he plays games on his phone that working-mom guilt compels me to invent tasks with which to help him. Argh!

But I don’t really want to do any of these things. I want to go up to my room, close the door, and eat my oatmeal crème pie while vegging out on the latest Drunk History episode. I don’t want to plan dinner or run to the grocery or pick anyone up from [enter your sport here] practice. And I sure as shoot don’t want to play the good wife to my husband, who can often be needier than the kids! “Will you please rub my feet/grab my dry cleaning/watch Top Gear with me?” No! But of course I do. Because that’s what it means to be a spouse, mother, and/or teacher.

We answer the call even when we don’t want to. And on that note, I shall leave you. Someone needs me! Peace out.

Reader disagrees with HOA commentary Editor, Recently, the Current in Fishers wrote an article complaining about the HOA for Windermere. While it was written as an editorial, I think there are certainly two sides to this story. First, every single resident of Windermere signed and acknowledged that they had a copy of, and would comply with Windermere covenants when they purchased their homes. These covenants specifically state they the homeowners are responsible for the curbside trees, including their replacement should a tree require removal. Over the past few years, the HOA has sent multiple newsletter’s reminding homeowners of this responsibility, along with information around the oncoming Ash Borer challenge, and how a homeowner might choose to treat and protect their trees. In addition, the HOA has provided a list of alternate trees to replace the Ash - to my knowledge they have never said a tree did not have to be replaced, and I pay pretty close attention to the HOA newsletters and communications.

Regardless of the community, there are always homeowners don’t like all the rules, but they are in place to protect the quality of our neighborhood and the value of your home.

Rather than complain, I would encourage the editor to become more involved in the HOA and her community. In my experience, the level of participation in the Windermere HOA, and supporting committees, has been rather embarrassing. Each year the Windermere HOA annual meetings have few participants (I would estimate less than 15 most years, with a community of 1,000 homes?).

I served on the architectural committee for a half dozen years, two of those years by myself (talk about underwhelming participation). If you want to make a difference in Windermere, attend the annual meeting, participate in committees, and perhaps consider running for a position on the board. I’d also suggest you dust off your copy of the covenants and give them a good read.

Needing another coat

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

My wife and I try as often as possible to engage in snappy repartee, often peppering each other with questions like these: humor Are we better off with stocks or bonds?

Should we take social security now, or wait?

Do we care if this bread is gluten-free?

Actually, those are the kinds of questions my wife might ask me. Here are the most common questions I ask Mary Ellen: Do you know where my coat is?

Did you hang up my coat up last night?

Was I wearing a coat last night?

Nippy temps are around the corner, but this year I plan to face the winter chill without any substantial outerwear whenever possible. It’s not that I’m particularly hardy; I’m simply looking at things realistically. I’m simply tired of looking for my coat.

I’m going to explain my problem, but you have to read this carefully, or you’ll be lost—like my coat usually is. I never liked wearing winter coats, especially in the car. I don’t want to be all bundled up and feel like the Pillsbury Dough Boy at the wheel. I get too warm when the car heats up, but I can’t undo my buttons or unzip because of the seat belts. Then when I exit the car, I’m soon in a warm place like a movie theater or Lucas Oil Stadium and have to immediately take off my heavy jacket and stuff it under my seat, which is a great way to add mustard stains and sticky pieces of popcorn to my apparel.

Since I seldom wear a coat, I am accustomed to leaving places without any wintry apparel on me. And so, when I occasionally do take along

a jacket, I often leave it behind because I’m not used to wearing it in the first place. Are you following me? If you are following me, please tap me on the shoulder and remind me that I just left my coat at Einstein Bagels.

I think it’s even crazier for my wife to wear a coat. In the winter, she asks me to warm up the car before we leave the house. Then she asks me to drop her off in front of the restaurant.

Then she asks me to pick her up at door. We drive home in a heated car and get out in our heated garage. Why does she need a coat? By the way, this doesn’t apply when Mary Ellen walks the dog or goes out to shovel snow. The reason it doesn’t apply is that she doesn’t do those two things.

For many years, this was a typical phone conversation on any given morning: “Hello, I was at your restaurant last night and I may have left my brown winter coat there.

Could you please check to see if you have it?

“Let me see. We have a pair of reading glasses, an iPhone, and two credit cards. Yes, here’s a brown coat. Didn’t you realize you forgot it, once you got outside and it was bitter cold?”

“Have you been talking to my wife? I’ll get the coat tomorrow. I would come by now, but it’s raining.”

“Don’t you have an umbrella? It’s been pouring non-stop all week?”

“I left it at the Lucas Oil Stadium yesterday.”

Loomis said last year’s inaugural Chocolate Trail had a greater cross section of participants than expected.

Gee’s music fest set for Sept. 20

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

Jon E. Gee has been fortunate to work enough to work with several top performers, John Mellencamp, Ted Nugent and music Rare Earth.

To help give back, Gee, who owns Jon E. Gee’s Music Room, runs Jon E. Gee’s Autumn Music Fest, which will be held for the second time on Sept. 20 at the parking lot of his business, 13295 Illinois St., Carmel.

The festival supports Jon E. Gee’s Gift of Music Foundation.

Sondra Gunnell, Jon’s wife and also known as Mrs. Gee, said helping support school music programs, which have faced cutbacks in recent years, is the main focus of the foundation.

“We also support other music charities as well as we give scholarship monies to students of all ages to get music lessons,” Gunnell said.

“Those are the primary things we do with the Gift of Music.”

The Music Fest features 10 groups or acts. All are students or proteges of Gee. “Each one of these acts want to be at the next level and we are basically helping them get there,” Gunnell said. “Three of them have their own CDs that John E. Gee has helped them produce, promote and advise on in some fashion or shape.”

The Music Fest will begin at 2 p.m. and conclude at 10 p.m.

Ten acts will perform at music fest. (Submitted photo)

The four headliners are Aaron Creek, Infamous, J.J. Browning Project and Awake The Wilde.

“Jon E. has shown them all how to perform on the big stage, sharing his expertise,” Gunnell said.

There will be food trucks, arts and crafts vendors and a silent auction. The auction includes signed electric guitars from Mellencamp and Nugent.

“There will be no alcohol, it’s a family friendly event,” Gunnell said. “People can bring lawn chairs and blankets.”

General admission tickets are free but donations are accepted. VIP donation tickets are available on the website, www.jonegeesmusicroom.com

Anna Mae (played by Fishers resident Devan Mathias) dances during the box social in Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre’s current production of Oklahoma! (Submitted photo)

Educator stars at Beef & Boards news@youarecurrent.com By day, Fishers resident Devan Mathias is an instructional assistant at Hamilton Southeastern High School. But each night, you’ll theatre find her singing and dancing through “Oklahoma!.”

Mathias is one of eight performers making their main stage debut at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre in its current production of “Oklahoma!,” the very first collaboration of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II. Originally from the village of Whitehouse, near Toledo, Ohio, Mathias came to Indiana to earn her Bachelor of Arts Degree in Musical Theatre from Ball State University, graduating magna cum laude. After living and performing in Chicago for nearly two years, she returned to Indiana where she married and settled in Fishers two years ago.

“I’ve been very pleasantly surprised by the amount of opportunities to perform in the Fishers and Indianapolis area. There is great work happening all over the city,” she remarked.

At Hamilton Southeastern, Mathias choreographs the spring musicals, designs costumes for the fall play, and co-sponsors the student council. Her husband, Ethan, also works at the school, where he is an English and Theatre teacher.

“So we work together on the plays and musicals,” she said. “He co-directs the plays with another drama club sponsor, and we codirect the musicals: he is the musical director, I choreograph, and we direct as a team. We feel really fortunate to be working in a district that is so supportive of the arts, and with students who are so passionate in learning all aspects of theatre.”

While this is her debut at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre, it’s also her first time performing in “Oklahoma!,” which, she admits, is unusual considering her musical theatre background.

“I am fascinated by the history of musical theatre, and to perform in the show that was the first collaboration by Rodgers and Hammerstein – and the first true American musical – is definitely an educational experience,” says Mathias.

“Performing in ‘Oklahoma!’ has been such a joy and a privilege,” she added.

“Oklahoma!” is on stage through Oct. 5 at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre. Tickets range from $38.50 to $63.50 and include Chef Odell Ward’s dinner buffet, prepared in-house for each performance, and select beverages.

For reservations, call the Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre Box Office at 872-9664 anytime between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays.

Beginning Oct. 11, the Carmel Symphony Orchestra will begin its 39th concert season.

This season, guests of the symMusic phony can look forward to performances from pianist Sean Chen, the Anderson University Choruses, the Indianapolis Children’s Choir, St. Luke’s United Methodist Church, and many more.

Led by the acclaimed artistic director and conductor David Bowden, everything from classical masterpieces and familiar pops works will echo through the corridors of Carmel’s Palladium.

“We are delighted to present such a variety of performers and musical styles,” Bowden said.

“The significant partnerships with regional organizations and the flair and sparkle of world-class guest artists make this an extraordinary season of music from the heart and for the soul.”

The season begins with APA Classical Fellow and Van Cliburn medalist Sean Chen in Grieg Piano Concerto with Sean Chen on Oct. 11. The artistry of Chen will be on full display in a performance of Grieg’s familiar Piano Concerto. Tchaikovsky’s powerful Symphony No. 4 combines deep emotion, beautiful melodies, and orchestral virtuosity with a thrilling conclusion.

“It will be remarkable,” Bowden said. “It will be beyond incredible.”

The Nov. 8 concert, Beethoven’s Fifth, features the composer’s much-loved symphony that be-

gins with arguably the most famous four notes in the entire symphonic repertoire. The orchestra is joined by the Anderson University Choruses for Dan Forrest’s Requiem for the Living, a profoundly moving expression of solace, hope, and ultimately, peace, conveying great comfort for all who have experienced loss, which Bowden said has already had a very emotional impact on him.

Beethoven’s Overture to The Creatures of Prometheus opens this compelling program.

Ocean Prime: Steaks, seafood and more My Fair Lady: ‘The perfect musical’

By Julie Osborne and Debbie Robertson news@currentinwestfield.com At Ocean Prime, it begins with its motto, “The answer is ‘Yes’, now what’s your question?” The staff takes the word service seridining ously starting in the kitchen with Executive Chef Shawn O’Brien.

O’Brien believes in leading by example, working side by side with his team, even doing the dirty work and often being the last to leave after a 12-hour shift.

O’Brien’s love for food and cooking began as a child helping his mother and grandmother prepare potluck dishes for church pitch-ins. His future career as an executive chef was nearly hijacked by an accounting degree, however, his desire to prepare food outweighed his desire to prepare balance sheets. Soon after his enrollment at Pennsylvania Culinary Institute, he began working at Mitchell’s Fish Market in Pittsburgh and later in the Cameron Mitchell family of restaurants in Columbus, Phoenix, and Orlando before being named executive chef of Ocean Prime Indianapolis with its opening in June 2012.

Chef’s Tip: “Fresh and from scratch” is what O’Brien believes is key to the best outcome.

There’s no substitute for utilizing the highest quality ingredients which is why, along with everything being made in-house, he insists on farm-fresh products and USDA Prime cuts. “We not only fly our seafood in daily but it’s the ‘top

of the catch’ so it’s the freshest of the day,” O’Brien said.

Chef’s Recommendations: Lobster Bisque served with a sweet corn fritter along with the Ahi Tuna Tartare to start. For the main course, either the Filet Mignon or Alaska Halibut prepared with lobster, gnocchi, spring peas and lemon jus.

“You can cut our tenderloins with a fork. There’s no need for a knife,” O’Brien said. Top it off with 10 Layer Carrot Cake with cream cheese icing and pineapple syrup.

Actors Theatre of Indiana is gearing up for their upcoming production of My Fair Lady. The show kicks theatre off the ATI’s 10th anniversary season of Broadway In Your Backyard .

Cynthia Collins, Cofounder and Assistant Artistic Director of Actors Theatre of Indiana, plays the role of “Mrs. Pearce” and “Mrs. Eynsford-Hill.”

“It’s possibly, in my opinion, the perfect musical,” Collins said.

My Fair Lady tells the story Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower girl taking lessons from phoneticist Henry Higgins in order to appear sophisticated. Based on George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion, My Fair Lady originally premiered in 1956 on Broadway.

Actors Theatre of Indiana is performing the show with a minimal cast of 10 actors, rather than the 30 to 40 typically attributed to large musicals like My Fair Lady. Director Richard J Roberts said this will put the show right into the audience’s lap.

“It’s a very intimate production,” Roberts said.

“It’s the Hamlet of musicals.”

The Sept. 21 performance will feature a Talk-

back immediately following moderated by Indy Star writer Michael Anthony Adams, featuring director, Richard J Roberts, the cast and actress and author Patricia Wilson. Wilson has previously acted in the Tony Award-winning Fiorello!, Take Me Along with Gene Kelly and A League of Their Own. Although Wilson is not involved in the production of My Fair Lady, she will be answering questions about the world of theatre, including her 2009 book “Yesterday’s Mashed Potatoes: The Fabulous Life of a Happy Has-Been.”

Roberts has experience conducting theatre talkbacks for a number of years and enjoys the opportunity to showcase how a production like his comes together.

“Even Broadway shows are starting to do them,” Roberts said. “I think people are curious.

People want to know how things are done. All kinds of shows on TV show how things are made. It’s fascinating. People think the arts are a foreign, distant world. We’re just people doing stuff.”

My Fair Lady runs Sept. 17 through 21 and next week from Sept. 24-28. For more information and tickets, visit actorstheatreofindiana.org or call 843.3800.

The Ten Commandments of tailgating

BUY 1 ENTRÉE, GET 1 FREE WITH PURCHASE OF 2 DRINKS Excluding “Feast for Two” & “All American Feast”.

Tailgating by Joe Drozda and Bob Bley (Here are the last five of the Ten Commandments.)

VI. Thou shall not drink (alcohol) too much Our website (Tailgatershandbook.com) has a section displaying how much you can drink and stay legal to drive. That blood alcohol count below .08 doesn’t always guarantee that you will be a good host or companion when you drink more than you should. Remember, no matter what you have heard, nobody likes a drunk!

VII. Thou shall continually upgrade your gear It’s your duty to search for that item which will improve your tailgate party. This item or items can be anything that will make tailgating easier, faster, safer, warmer, prettier, less expensive etc. Review last year’s tailgating experiences and list the things that weren’t just right.

Chances are that somebody has experienced your same problem and has invented or discovered an improvement.

VIII. Thou shall prepare for emergencies Like a Boy Scout/Girl Scout – be prepared.

There are many tailgate parties where emergencies arise. Have a first aid kit in case somebody gets cut or burned. Other more common emergencies are for dilemmas like no propane with which to cook, or no corkscrew to open the wine, or even no matches to light a fire. It is wise to carry a tackle box that has a bevy of things like duct tape, bungee cords, corkscrew, all-in-one pliers tool with all the attachments of a Swiss Army knife, packets of salt and pepper, a bottle opener, a can opener, and as many other items that you can think up.

IX. Thou shall practice food safety Ecoli and Salmonella are dangerous and should be avoided by practicing good food safety.

Remember to keep hot things hot and cold things cold.

X. Thou shall tailgate after the game (or wait for the traffic to clear) After a game is no time to join the bumperto-bumper traffic for a grueling drive home.

23

Just a 30 minute to one hour short rest in the tailgate lot will allow even the most congested lots to clear and the highway traffic to resume normal speeds. When you pack up to go into the game, always think about your postage tailgate.

Leave enough chairs and easy-to-serve foods accessible so that they can be easily set up and enjoyed before the trek home. Our surveys have found that the average tailgater in America drives 71 miles one way to the game. So why not kick back, have a snack and visit?

Here’s another warm weather menu item that everyone loves.

BLT Pasta Salad Ingredients: 14 oz. bag Pasta, 5 large tomatoes, finely chopped, 1 large green pepper, finely chopped, 1 lb. bacon (+ some), crumbled (precooked works great), 3/4 cup real or light mayonnaise, 1 t. salt (or to taste) Directions: Cook pasta in gently boiling water for approximately 6 minutes, until tender but firm. Drain and rinse with cold water. For tailgating, make pasta the night before. Toss cooked pasta lightly with olive oil, and store all veggies separately. Add veggies and bacon just before serving to maintain crispness. Serves 6-8.

Kids need healthy snacks Commentary by Kathleen Connelly If you are like me, you have started spending the weekends at your kid’s sporting events. Our 9-year-old son and 6-year-old nutrition daughter are both playing soccer through S.P.O.R.T.S here in Fishers and opening day was one of the hottest days we have had all summer.

As team parent for my daughter’s 1st grade soccer team I helped organize snacks for our team.

As I did this I started to think about all of the snacks my kids have received after their games.

In past years I have seen doughnuts, cookies, chips, candy and other high sugar snacks given out after games. These types of foods are okay sometimes but refueling our kids after a long game is not the place. Obviously I am all for kids participating in sports but the types of food we feed them before and after are important.

So what is a good nutritional snack prior to that soccer or football game? Give your kids something with carbohydrates 1-2 hours before their sporting event. Try cereals, yogurts, whole wheat crackers or pretzels. If your child needs something mid game, fruit will help rehydrate them as well as give them some much needed energy. For those post-game snacks, aim for something that provides protein along with

carbohydrates to restore their energy supply and get them ready for whatever comes next in their day. Some ideas for good refueling snacks are fruit, cheese sticks, trail mix, or whole wheat crackers with peanut butter. For something different like sweet potato chips or healthier granola bars, try visiting Good Earth at Hamilton Town Center for some healthier options. As a parent of children with food allergies, you want to always check with other team parents to make sure that you are providing something all the kids can eat safely.

One last thing, the best rehydrating drink for kids playing a 60 minute or less sport is water.

Milk or even chocolate milk make a great post game drink too. If it is extremely hot and your child’s game goes longer than 60 minutes then a sports drink like Gatorade can replenish depleted electrolytes. No matter what sport your kids are playing this fall, give them snacks and drinks that will help maintain their energy and keep them going even after that long hot game in the sun is over.

WTHR Home of Distinction - St.Vincent Foundation and Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at St.Vincent will be the beneficiaries of this year’s WTHR Home of Distinction. Steve Moed of SLM Homes will present an estate Oct. 10 through 19 at Hamilton Proper in Fishers. The public is invited to tour the home, and tickets are $10 at the event. Guests are invited to park at Hamilton Proper Park, 11525 Hoosier Rd., where they will be shuttled to the home. For more information, visit www.homeofdistinction.com/14Indianapolis.

New eateries coming to Fishers

By Ann Craig-Cinnamon • ann@youarecurrent.com The number of restaurants in Fishers is going up dramatically in the next few weeks and months. The new Fishers coming soon Marketplace, a 104-acre mixed use development at State Road 37 and 131st Street has seven new eateries in some stage of development.

Zaxby’s, a Georgia-based franchise which offers prepared-to-order chicken fingers, jumbo buffalo wings and sandwiches had its grand opening Sept. 8. It’s the first Zaxby’s in Central Indiana and there are plans for five more in Hamilton County.

The company offered a free meal every week for a year for the first 100 people who showed up on opening day. The first person in line, Judy Simpson of Noblesville arrived at 12:55 a.m. She was followed by Marie Marsden who arrived at 1:07 and came from Pike Township. Marsden is from Georgia and says she was a regular customer of Zaxby’s there.

“We e-mailed them when we moved here from Atlanta to ask them when they were going to open. They told us Hamilton County in a couple of years. That was in 2011,” she said. After spending 10 hours in line together Simpson and Marsden said they are now Facebook friends.

Other restaurants coming to Fishers Marketplace include Bagger Dave’s Burger Tavern which opens on Sept. 21, Which Wich Superior Sand-

wiches is scheduled to open Sept. 29, Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen is set to open Oct. 5, City Barbeque opens Oct. 11, Graeter’s Ice Cream Shop is scheduled for a November opening, and Aurelio’s Pizza reportedly will open late in the fall.

Elsewhere, Bubba’s 33, a new concept restaurant owned by Texas Roadhouse, opens at 9770 North, by Northeast Blvd. in early November; Brixx Wood Fired pizza will anchor the new Depot in downtown Fishers by early next year; and Saxony Development is in negotiations with several new restaurants to lease space at Saxony Village in the Lake District.

For those who miss the now-closed Cheeseburger in Paradise at 9770 Crosspoint Blvd., its parent company is bringing a Fuddruckers to that location soon.

Avoid these estate-planning myths Commentary by Joseph Hankins

Estate planning is a powerful tool that enables you to direct exactly how your assets will be handled upon your death or finance disability. A well-crafted estate plan, including a living will and trust will ensure you and your family avoid the difficulties of a court-appointed guardianship or conservatorship, court-administered probate or an unpleasant estate tax surprise.

Unfortunately, many individuals fall victim to these estate planning myths: Myth: I don’t need an estate plan because I’m not wealthy.

Fact: Estate planning is not only for the wealthy. It provides many benefits regardless of your income or assets. A good estate plan includes provisions for caring for a minor or disabled child, ensuring a comfortable standard of living for a surviving spouse, providing for pets or transferring ownership of property or business interests.

Myth: I’m too young to create an estate plan.

Fact: Accidents happen. None of us knows precisely when we will die or if we will become incapacitated. Even if you do not have substantial assets or a family to support, you should have a power of attorney and health care directive. These documents can ensure that you are provided for in the manner that you desire.

Myth: I don’t need a living trust if I have a will.

Fact: A properly drafted trust contains provi-

sions addressing what happens to your property if you become incapacitated. A will only becomes effective upon your death, and outlines who will receive your property when you pass. If you own property, or have more than $100,000 in assets, both a will and a living trust are generally recommended.

Myth: With a living trust, the surviving spouse does not need to take action after a spouse’s death.

Fact: Failure to adhere to the proper legal formalities following a death could result in significant administrative and tax implications.

While a properly drafted and funded living trust will avoid probate, there are still many tasks that have to be performed such as filing documents, sending notices and transferring assets.

Myth: Keeping property out of probate saves money on federal estate taxes.

Fact: Probate and probate avoidance are governed by state law and address how property passes upon your death. In other words, avoiding probate has nothing to do with federal estate taxes, which are set forth in the Internal Revenue Code. An estate plan can reduce estate taxes, but that is not related to trying to avoid probate.

The Parisian Arch of Progress Commentary by Don Knebel

Strolling along the wide sidewalks of Avenue Champs-Élysées, visitors to Paris can enjoy the architectural charms of a city travel that seems to have avoided the sterile high rises of other major cities. Paris has not avoided those buildings, but instead has consigned them to a unique area anchored by a precisely located arch.

The Champs-Élysées follows the “Historic Axis” or “Triumphal Way,” an imaginary line passing through the Louvre¸ the Place de la Concorde and the Arc de Triomphe. After World War II, Parisian city planners decided to try to preserve the traditional appearance along the Historic Axis by encouraging new construction in La Défense, a five square mile area several kilometers northwest of the Arc de Triomphe. When the Tour Montparnasse, a 59-story skyscraper now deemed the second ugliest building in the world, was completed in the Left Bank area in 1973, Parisians were so incensed they passed a law requiring that buildings taller than seven stories be limited to La Défense, named for a statue honoring French soldiers.

Restricting tall buildings to La Défense did not solve the problem to the satisfaction of all

Parisians. The incongruous collection of glass and steel buildings could still be seen from atop the Arc de Triomphe. The solution involved building a massive Grand Arche at the center of La Défense, positioned on the Historic Axis and connoting continuity with Parisian history. The Grande Arche was also situated on the imaginary axis that runs through the Eiffel Tower from the infamous Tour Montparnasse. The Grande Arche, which is actually an office building, is 361 feet tall, 348 feet wide and 364 deep and includes an opening said to be large enough to accommodate Notre Dame Cathedral.

La Défense, once home to small restaurants and artists’ studios, has become one of the most important business centers in the world. More than 70 modern buildings, up to 50 stories high, house 1500 corporate headquarters, including those of 15 of the world’s 50 largest companies.

Each year, about eight million tourists come to La Défense. The 60 million other visitors to Paris can pretend it doesn’t exist.

Talking about yourself

Commentary by Jordan Fischer

I was recently tasked with giving an impromptu lesson on pronouns, and I thought that you, my dear readers, should grammar guy enjoy the benefits of my grammatical ranting.

The topic of the day: Reflexive pronouns; or, how to talk about yourself.

Myself is a reflexive pronoun. Along with other reflexive pronouns like himself, herself, ourselves and yourself, myself is used to refer back to a previous word in the sentence. In the case of myself, it’s the word I. Reflexive pronouns are most commonly seen in two cases: when the subject and object are the same person or thing (including objects of prepositional phrases), and as intensive pronouns.

How about some examples for the good of the order, then? Consider this: “John and myself went to the movies.” Incorrect! But why? It’s incorrect because the reflexive pronoun has

nothing to refer to. The correct word to use in that sentence would be the subject pronoun I. We can fix this, though. What’s a movie without a snack, am I right? Let’s say that when John and I go to the movies, we buy ourselves some popcorn. Now John and I are the subjects of the sentence, as we should be, but we’re also the indirect objects – the people receiving the action, which, in this case, is the purchase of delicious popcorn.

To wrap it all up, if you think myself might be appropriate, take a look back at the rest of the sentence. Have you already used the word I? Are you talking about or trying to emphasize something you’re doing? If so, myself could be called for. If not, the word you’re probably looking for is me.

dispatches Music – Billboard magazine, the publication that keeps the official metrics of music popularity, announced that the 500 million copies of U2’s “Songs of Innocence” that were downloaded to Apple’s iTunes music software users would not enter into its equation for its sales charts. U2 has previously claimed the top spot on the Billboard 200 album chart seven times, including its two most recent albums, “How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb” in 2004 and “No Line on the Horizon” in 2009.

Special thanks to:

“The first rule of decoration is that you can break almost all the other rules.” – Billy Baldwin Excuse me Billy but it dedecorating pends which rules you want to break! If you want to take Billy’s advice and eschew decorating rules, make sure you are throwing out the arbitrary ones such as “don’t mix warm color with cool” or “use light colors in small spaces” I say have at it.

Break away! Get wild and crazy!

There is, however, a class of rules that can bend only so far before they snap. These are design principles and they are based more on geometry than on opinion.

When these “rules” are ignored, you will most likely feel that there is something amiss with a space. You might not be able to verbalize just what the problem is, but it is almost certain that a rule has been broken.

The basic design principles are balance, focus, harmony, proportion, and rhythm.

Balance: You are more likely to feel if a room is unbalanced than see it. Balance simply refers to the visual equilibrium of a room that is achieved by how objects are placed according to visual weight.

Shape, color and texture all help to determine their visual weight.

Focus: This refers to the direction the eye travels and remains as it first enters a space. More

than one focal point in a room makes it quite uncomfortable as there is no place for the eye to rest.

Harmony: This is achieved when the elements of a room work together to form a visually pleasing combination. Harmony in interior design is achieved by having a connection. This unity can be defined as a design thread that tells a story from one element to another.

Proportion: Ah, Proportion and his best friend Scale . This is something the real estate agent fails to mention when showing you a home with a two story great room. Technically, proportion refers to how the elements within an object relate to the object as a whole while scale relates to the size of an object compared to the space in which it is located.

Rhythm: The rhythm of a room controls the visual flow around a room. Rhythm allows the eyes to move around from one object to another and creates a harmonious atmosphere in a room A well designed home that incorporates these elements is not unlike the paints that an artist uses in the creation of a breathtaking work of art … each color and brushstroke plays off another color within the guidelines of design principle.

The result is a warm, inviting space for living.

One of those days?

Creating a basement apartment for family member Commentary by Larry Greene EXISTING BASEMENT: This home is located in the Brittany Chase subdivision in Zionsville. After moving from sunny blueprint for Florida to be closer improvement to family, the mother needed her own space in her daughter’s home. The main goal of the project was to create a living space separate from the rest of the house to give her complete independence and privacy.

KITCHEN & LAUNDRY AREA: The unfinished storage area provided room for a full kitchen & laundry room. The kitchen features two-toned cabinetry, LED under-cabinet lighting, a marble subway tile backsplash, high-end appliances and quartz countertops. Using the condensed space, upper cabinets were eliminated to save space for an art collection and an antique armoire served as a food pantry. The laundry room features cabinets painted Ocean Blue as a reminder of the Florida beaches.

COZY LIVING AREA: “Even though there are many windows, it still felt like a basement. I really wanted the space to feel cozy, not like I’m living in a basement.” To accomplish this, horizontal ceiling beams were installed. A gas fireplace gives the room a warm feel. “Golden White Quartzite” was used for the fireplace stone surround and hearth.

MASTER BATHROOM/BEDROOM DETAILS: A

before & after

RESULT: “Everything came together just as I imagined it. I love the coziness of my new home and the independence I feel even though I am steps away from family.”

top priority with the design of the master bathroom was to ensure the bathroom fixtures were simple and easy-to-clean. “I knew I wanted a tile floor so I selected large 12 inch by 24 inch tiles to minimize the amount of grout to clean.” Complementing the floor tile, simple 3 inch x 6 inch white subway tiles were selected for the shower walls. Chrome fixtures including the plumbing fixtures, shower door and vanity lighting gave the room a cohesive and classic look. Chandeliers were hung in both the bedroom and closet giving the spaces an elegant and timeless flair.
