HSE schools face referendum funding decision

By James Feichtner • james@youarecurrent.com Being the fourth-largest school district in the state, the Hamilton Southeducation eastern School district affects thousands of lives in Hamilton Co. including students, parents, school faculty and even the community as a whole. With state efforts to fully fund HSE schools coming up short, the district is looking towards the May 3 election to implement change in its funding.

For the past year, HSE staff members have been looking into a referendum. Scheduled to go before the school board Bourff at their second January board meeting, if approved, the first half of the year will be heavily revolved around educating the public on what the referendum would mean for the district.

“At least for the first half of the year, the biggest effort will be that referendum,” HSE Supt. Dr. Allen Bourff said. “At whatever size that referendum takes, it will be our job to promote that and try to educate the voters as to why they should support that type of question.”

Bourff said that HSE isn’t the only local district looking into a referendum.

Supt. Dr. Allen Bourff speaks to students during one of his listening tours at local schools. (Submitted photo)

“Many cities are doing that because the state funding formula doesn’t provide the level of support for the services many cities are demanding from their schools,” Bourff said. “Zionsville just passed one. All of Hamilton County, with the exception of Hamilton Heights, has a referendumm and they’ll be going out for theirs again too because they’ll be expiring too. You see many of them that are using the referendum in order to better provide services.”

Dr. Bourff said that class size reduction seemed to be the most prominent concern for parents and that if the referendum were passed, HSE would immediately begin addressing the concern.

“Our commitment to them is in the fall of 2016 you will see, at our buildings, capacities to lower

those class sizes. In the short-term, we would be leasing more portable classrooms so that in those buildings, where there’s stress already, we’ll be relieving that extra capacity. If we’re successful in that referendum, we will then engage in the second half of the year, not only the implementation of some class size reduction short-term strategies, but we’ll also begin discussing long-term strategies.

If the referendum passes, the district would have quite the agenda in 2016, but what if the referendum doesn’t pass? Without the referendum’s aid, 2016 may entail just as much pressure on HSE staff.

“Let’s say we’re not successful with that referendum,” Bourff said. “Then we have an entirely different type of strategy that we would need to embark on, and that would be further budget cutting. It would be painful. We know that we would be looking at trimming our staff but that would be a major initiative, and then of course opening our buildings with fewer staff members would lead to higher class sizes, and we would have to work very carefully on how to manage those circumstances The referendum will go before the HSE school board at the Jan. 25 board meeting. If approved, the referendum would be voted on during the May 3 election.

A request to approve an amendment to the sewer rating went to council.

The proposed amendment would increase the current sewer rates by approximately 25 percent.

On the cover

Fishers and Geist will see several changes in the coming year including, clockwise from top, Ikea breaking ground, the 106th and I-69 overlay project, Steve Collier as new mayor of Lawrence and Fall Creek Trail renovations.

Council approves Ind. 37 project

Compiled by James Feichtner • james@youarecurrent.com

Fishers City Council members met for their last meeting of the year on Dec. 21. Councilman Stuart Easley was absent.

All other members were in attendance.

Conner Prairie Chief Executive Officer Ellen Rosenthal was presented the key to the city by Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness.

Why it matters: Fishers-based Conner Prairie announced last summer that Rosenthal would be retiring from her role as CEO at the end of the year. Rosenthal arrived at Conner Prairie in 1999 and took Conner Prairie from a locally well known interactive history museum to a Smithsonian affiliate and an Institute of Museum and Library Services National Medal winner, the nation’s highest museum honor.

A request to approve the road transfer agreement and interlocal agreement between the Indiana Dept. of Transportation, the City of Fishers, the City of Noblesville and Hamilton County for improvements to Ind. 37 was submitted before council.

Why it matters: Earlier this month, the announcement was made that in conjunction with the INDOT, the City of Noblesville and Hamilton Co. Fishers would head a $124 million development for improvements on Ind. 37 from Interstate 69 near 126th Street through 146th Street. During the development the state would relinquish control over the road to the city so that Fishers would be responsible for that portion of the road. Control is estimated to last seven years, which would then be returned back over to the state. Council members unanimously approved both agreements.

Why it matters: The sewer rates in the City of Fishers have not been changed since 1997. Due to costs of maintaining and operating the Fishers wastewater plant, operations and collection system, the city recognized the need for an increase in the rate. Fishers would still maintain one of the lowest sewer rates compared to other central Indiana cities. The council unanimously passed the amendment. The new rates will begin as of Feb. 1, 2016.

Owners of Prairie Guest House, located at 13805 Allisonville Rd. requested a rezone from an R-3 to PUD-C. The owners would like to expand the uses to include a yoga studio, a seasonal restaurant serving less than 60 people and a special event venue.

Why it matters: These items are outside of the regulations of a bed and breakfast inn as outlined by the unified development ordinance and require commercial zoning, PUD- C. The council approved the request.

Student to donate blankets

By Renee Larr • news@geistcurrent.com Eight-year-old Mt. Comfort Elementary student Hunter Lenk is selflessness learning it really is better to give than receive this holiday season. Lenk has selflessly collected more than 150 blankets for residents of Wheeler Mission. He began his collection last year after seeing his grandma make blessing bags.

“Last year he felt the need to help people that were homeless and cold, because he saw his grandma making blessing bags,” Brittany Garrity, Lenk’s step-mother, said.

“They had random essentials inside. Hunter thought the homeless needed blankets, because they would be cold. His grandma said they could try and fix that,” Through word of mouth, Lenk’s mission spread to family members, classmates, teachers and parents. He collected 105 blankets that first year. He was excited at what he’d accomplished and wanted to continue the tradition.”

“He got the whole picture when we delivered 105 blankets to Wheeler Mission,” Garrity said. “He was just really proud of himself and wanted to do it again. I told him we could

make it an every year thing. So, September 1 this year, we started our collection again asking friends and family.”

To date, Lenk has collected approximately 150 blankets that will be delivered after the first of the year. His enthusiasm for helping is spreading to his younger siblings.

“He not only exceeded his goal of 50, but he also exceed his donations from last year and then some. His brothers are catching on to it. They're only 3 and 4, but they're feeling excited because Hunter's excited. They see him helping and want to help. Hopefully, by the time they get in school, they would want to do something like this,” Garrity said.

Lenk will be collecting blankets through Dec. 31. They can be new or used and any size.

Anyone wanting to donate can drop blankets off at Mt. Comfort Elementary School.

2016 to bring changes in roads, government, development

By James Feichtner • james@youarecurrent.com Right around this time last year, one would refer to Fishers as the largest town in the state.

Now, as the year 2015 comes to a close, Fishers finishes its first year as a city. So much has been accomplished since Fishers has become a city, but what lies ahead for the municipality?

Mental Health In November, the city announced its bold mental health

cover

initiative, a plan that was the result of nearly one year’s worth of development involving monthly meetings with Hamilton Southeastern Schools, Community Health Network and the Fishers fire and police departments. The mental health plan is the city’s goal to help improve the state of mental health in the Fadness community through various actionable items.

The new year will mark the implementation of the plan, which could prove to be one of the city’s biggest

challenges next year.

“The mental health plan is a whole new venture. We don’t really do a lot of the social stuff, so when we went into that it’s been a whole different experience,” Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness said. “I don’t know how successful we’re going to be at it, but we’re going to do our best, and we’re going to be open and honest and work hard to try and affect some sort of change. I know I can build you a road, but I don’t know if I can reduce the number of people who are suffering, but we’re going to try.”

upcoming economic developments Indianapolis Metro Airport For nearly 20 years, the Town of Fishers wanted the Indianapolis Airport Authority-owned Indianapolis Metropolitan Airport, located off 96th Street near Interstate 69, to be removed from its city. After a stagnant state of disagreement, the city announced its plans to collaborate with the Indianapolis Airport Authority in October to foster a community development project on unused space at the airport. Fadness said he is hoping to have a request out for a proposal to the development community by the end of the 2016 first quarter, giving “plenty of time to engage our residents and have a conversation about what they want to see and what they don’t.”

Ikea Swedish-owned furniture store Ikea announced its plans to build its first Indiana store in November.

The building is expected to be approximately 296,000 square feet with 1,000 parking spaces on 35 acres of land located off of the eastern side of Interstate 69 and South of E. 116th Street. Construction is expected to start in fall of 2016 with a grand opening scheduled for fall 2017. The economic development project is expected to bring approximately 500 jobs during initial construction and add 250 new IKEA employees to the store.

In addition to retail, the store will feature a 350-seat restaurant and children’s play area.

IN-PROGRESS economic developments The Switch Construction is already well underway on The Switch building off 116th Street and Municipal Drive in the Nickel Plate District. The Purdue University College of Pharmacy’s Center for Medication Safety Advancement and Purdue Manufacturing Extension Partnership has signed a lease to occupy the second floor of The Switch. Also joining Purdue will be cloud-based service and software company CloudOne as well as national site selector company Ginovus. Expect The Switch to be completed in summer of 2016.

Lantern Road mixed-use A two-story, 16,000-square-feet mixed-use building with 8,000 square feet dedicated to commercial office space is expected to be completed by spring 2016. Four Day Ray plans to be the first-floor tenant in the new urban storefront development located at 11671 Lantern Rd., and has proposed a production brewery, taproom and restaurant. No confirmed second tenant has been approved as of press time.

Fall Creek Trail The nearly 20-year-old trail along Fall Creek Road will be seeing its construction completed by the end of 2016. The nearly 1 1/2-mile-long trail will be widened to 10 feet to allow for increased pedestrian traffic. In addition to widening the trail, the city plans to redo some of the bridges and boardwalks, making it more efficient and aesthetically pleasing to residents. The city has awarded the project bid to Indiana-based construction company Olco, who the city has worked with in other sidewalk projects. The project should begin this winter.

“We anticipate some tree clearing over the winter, and then the trail construction will really ramp up from April to October timeframe.” Fishers Director of Engineering Jeff Hill said.

New Personnel in Lawrence Several new personnel will be joining City of Lawrence staff. Lawrence will welcome Steve Collier as the new mayor for the city. Collier comes to the position from serving on the city council and other governmental committees, as well as spending 33 years in the Metro School District of Lawrence Township. Other new staff members will include Jason Fenwick as the new city controller, David Hoffman as the new Lawrence Police Dept. chief, Dino Batalis as the new Lawrence Fire Dept. dhief, James Gutting as the mayor’s corporate attorney, Maura Hoff as the new city attorney and Julie Kukolla as the new executive assistant.

Lawrence Animal Shelter The next steps toward Lawrence receiving a no-kill animal shelter in the city will be underway quickly after the new year begins. Lawrence Mayor Steve Collier said there are a couple options in establishing a location.

“It’s not that big of a deal but it may be in our best interest to select another facility. We have the existing pound that the City of Lawrence has as an asset,” Collier said. “Maybe it makes sense to take the funds from the sale of that asset over here and build a brand new one over here. We’re going to try and keep our options open over what can be done but try to get it moving relatively soon.”

106th Street and I-69 Overlay The biggest of road projects in store for Fishers in 2016 will be the 106th Street and I-69 overlay. The project is intended to reduce congestion at existing I-69 interchanges at 96th and 116th streets, increase traffic safety in the area and provide direct interstate access at 106th Street. Direct access will serve existing residential and commercial destinations and accommodate development and population growth in the area. Expect the project to go out for bid in March of 2016 with beginning construction to follow later in the year.

New Goals for New Mayor of Lawrence Collier discussed attracting new businesses to Lawrence. He said he hopes to put together a task force responsible for coordinating with potential businesses in helping aid in their decision to establish a presence in the city.

“We’re putting together a team; working together with chamber of commerce, local business leasers; I will be a part of it. We’ll have some people representing the local arts and culture aspect. Someone from redevelopment, someone from Collier reuse authority community development committee who will be the team who, when we have people who want to come to the city, their job will be to present a presentation to convince them to come to the City of Lawrence,” he said. I’ve already been contacted by two people who want to come to the City of Lawrence. One who has an employee base of about 140 and the other one has got about 45 employees.

In addition, Collier said he is aiming to increase tax increment financing in some areas south of Pendleton Pike and establish working contracts with public safety personnel in the city.

Fishers Police Chief Retires Fishers Police Chief George Kehl announced in September that he will be retiring from the police department in Sept. 2016. Kehl joined the department in 1975 as a part-time deputy marshal. By 1978 he became police chief. During his tenure, the police department has grown from one sworn officer to a department of 103 while leading the department to become a nationally accredited institution. Kehl has led the department during explosive population growth and instituted policies that ensured Fishers remained one of the safest cities in the United States. Despite his retirement, Kehl’s service to his community will not be finished as he plans to eventually run for a seat on the Hamilton Co. Council.

Kehl

Comprehensive Plan Since August, Fishers has been putting together its comprehensive plan as part of its Fishers 2040 initiative by forming a steering committee with several task forces made up of city employees, citizens and outside consultants. The task forces shared its findings Dec. 14. After its approval at the Dec. 21 council meeting, Fadness said the plan will begin to be shared with the public beginning in the first half of 2016.

Hamilton Southeastern Hamilton Southeastern Schools has spent the past several months preparing for a recommendation of a referendum. With the previous referendum having expired, a new referendum will go before the HSE school board at the second board meeting in January. If approved, the referendum will go on the ballot during the May primary election.

Resolutions: Ho, ho, ho The year that was has almost turned into the year that will be! An early top of the calendar to you all, and we hope your holidays were good to you and yours! Before we go headlong into 2016, we’re going to offer a handful of resolutions. These won’t be the types of resolutions millions make on Jan. 1 each year, only to fall off the wagon about a month later.

No, these are resolutions that have absolutely zero-percent chance of coming to fruition: 1. We resolve that local government spending be curbed to manageable levels.

2. We resolve that there will be no additional referenda for schools.

3. We resolve that there will be a legitimate face of change in this nation and it will be in the name of a legitimate third party.

4. We resolve that the arts in our communities be fully funded, with corporations stepping up in higher numbers.

5. We resolve that budget surpluses are recognized as taxpayer dollars and refunds provided to we poor saps that over-funded the coffers to begin with.

6. We resolve that government grants are “our money,” too.

7. We resolve that every article of the U.S. Constitution be observed so our forebears may return to resting in peace.

8. We resolve that everyone will “move to Costa Rica” if Hillary Rodham Clinton is elected president. (Start packing, folks.)

9. We resolve that those that govern will give the residents of our communities more than lip service.

10. We resolve to awaken from this strange dream.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Dinner at dawn Commentary by Terry Anker With the holiday break upon us, many will be spending a spate of “quality” time with family, loved-ones and other assorted acquaintances. In spinning the television dial (for those younger among our readers it is what we elders used to do to change the channels from a knob attached to the front of the device instead of clicking a remote control from the comfort of the sofa), one can find nearly as many movies dedicated to the strain of interaction with these folks as we can films extoling the virtues of the season. Even good-old George Bailey forgot his “Wonderful Life” for a moment when feeling the pressure of a bumbling uncle, a sick kid and a demanding domestic calendar.

We work ourselves to the breaking point to create perfection – only to have it ignored, at best, or disparaged, at worst, by those to whom we dedicated our effort. We cry out, “I’m sorry you don’t like the dinner I woke up at dawn to prepare for you and your un-

derserving clan!” Yet, is seeking appreciation really the point? Naturally occurring sibling rivalry, assorted misunderstanding and every manner of decades-old petty grievance have percolated into a concentrated concoction that is as toxic as it is unnecessary.

It is not to imagine that there aren’t real, legitimate, and powerful reasons to hold a grudge, but one wonders if it really matters.

These people, for the most part, are here to stay. They will be at the table next year, and the year after. We will be at their funerals – and if not, they will attend ours. These ties, even if painful and imperfect at times, deserve our commitment – at least for a day or two per year! Ignore the insult and look for the good. Or, is it possible that we’ve become part of the problem?

Q U O T E O F T H E W EE K The only way around is through – Robert Frost

Sometimes I just don’t want to be needed. Maybe it’s the holidays, 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, Janeof-all-trades capabilities. Being a mom is exhausting.

A large part of this feeling is the nature of being an educator. Teaching high school means I’m basically a surrogate parent to 180 of our future leaders. It’s taxing to say the least, especially on test days when 123 of them realize they have no idea what I’ve been talking about for the last week and they all come for help at 7 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 lots in charge. (Kidding!

You’re all brilliant!)

After a day of helping everyone else’s teenagers, I go home to my four who’ve been left to their own devices for at least an hour. My oldest daughter asks me to listen as she talks stream-of-conscience about her emotions. My youngest begs for help with math and laundry. My oldest just wants me to make him “food.” And my middle son sits so quietly while he plays games on his phone that workingmom guilt compels me to ask if I can do anything for him. Argh!

But I don’t want to do any of this. What I want is to lock myself in my bedroom and zone out on Drunk History. 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 must go. Someone needs me! Peace out.

Palladium performer Rosanne Cash reconnects with Southern roots

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Rosanne Cash considers herself a New Yorker. Been planted there for about 25 years and the singer-songwriter loves everything about the city. cover story “I was always a New Yorker at heart, I do believe,” Cash said. “I married a native New Yorker and now my son is a fifth-generation New Yorker on his dad’s side. I just had lunch with five other women who are all writers, one is an architect and one is a scientist. I just love that community exchange of ideas. It’s very good to be a writer in New York.”

Yet the eldest daughter of Johnny Cash and Vivian Liberto was born in Memphis in 1955 before her family moved to California in 1958. Her parents divorced in 1966. Cash later spent some time living in Nashville.

“I’m still connected by blood and family to the South even though I haven’t lived in the South for about 25 years,” Cash said. “I just thought it was anecdotal that I was born in the South and my family were Southerners. But it turns out going back on many trips the last few years my heart was really open to it. I reconnected to these people and these places, some of them feel very haunted. It was a powerful and inspiring experience and a lot of songs came out of it.”

Cash released “The River & The Thread” in January 2014. She will perform songs from that album and other favorites at 8 p.m. on Jan. 8 at the Palladium in Carmel. The album won three Grammy awards in February, including Best Americana album.

It’s a collection of songs by Cash and her husband, John Leventhal. Cash made visits to the South, starting when Arkansas State University contacted her about wanting to buy her father’s boyhood home in Dyess, Ark., and asked the family to get involved in the restoration and the fundraising process.

“I don’t get involved in projects about my dad, but this one really pulled at my heart,” Cash said. “So I got involved. My heart was open and it was a powerful experience.”

This album was a departure in that most of the album’s songs were written in the third person.

“I was writing more about characters and experiences outside of my own,” Cash said. “That was very satisfying, but

challenging at first. One song even went back to my own Civil War ancestors called ‘When the Master Calls the Roll.’ It was one of most satisfying songwriting experiences I’ve ever had and it kind of opened the door in some ways to writing about characters. It was in the tradition of those great Appalachian narrative ballads.”

Cash said many artists will say their last work is their favorite or their best.

“But I bet in 20 years I’ll look back and say that was a real peak for me, that was a special, special album,” she said. “I feel it was the best I could do on every song.”

Part of the appeal of Cash’s music is that it crosses all kinds of genres, country, blues, rock and folk.

“I’m restless and I’m curious and I listen to all kinds of music,” Cash said. “I don’t think you have to join a religion when you are a musician unless you’re a pure jazz or traditional bluegrass (musician) when you are working on specific tradition. I’m a songwriter and I borrow off genres and I love a lot of different kinds of music. You process it and it comes out.

It’s challenging and exciting to try things that are a little out of your wheelhouse.”

Gather ’round the healthy table Recipe courtesy of: Donatello’s Italian Restaurant, 9 W. Main Street in Carmel There are so many fattening but delicious treats to enjoy during the holidays. Since you’ll be eating so many decadent delights, you might be looking for a healthier recipes option for some meals.

Here’s one recipe you can find at Donatello’s or make at home for a healthy, but hearty, vegetarian pasta.

Directions: Start off with a skillet warmed up on the stove to medium heat.

Add olive oil as the pan warms up, just enough to fill the bottom on the pan. Usually a few tablespoons.

Once the oil is warm, add a few tablespoons of peeled and chopped garlic. Don’t chop the garlic too fine or it’ll burn quickly.

After the oil and garlic are sizzling and you can see and smell the garlic cooking (usually one or two minutes) then you can add your vegetables. In the photo, you’ll see how chopped mushrooms were added, but you could add anything you like. Tip: Keep in mind, if you added too much olive oil or garlic it will fry your vegetables and make it not tasty.

Once your veggies are cooked, you’re going to add your tomatoes. The chef at Donatello’s

This lighter dish is perfect for making with family during the holidays, when turkey, ham and all decadent side dishes seem too heavy for everyday fare. (Submitted photo)

recommends using whole tomatoes, peeled already and packed in their own juices (better than canned tomatoes packed in water). You’ll want to put on some gloves and put the tomatoes in a bucket or bowl and then squeeze them into small pieces. Once squeezed, a cup of tomatoes is fine.

Add the tomatoes to the sizzling pan of olive oil, garlic and veggies and then let everything simmer on medium heat until the tomatoes are cooked for 3-5 minutes.

Add your cooked spaghetti to the skillet and stir and toss it until it’s all mixed together and ready for plating.

What To Expect: Parenting Coordination A recent, positive trend in Indiana family law cases, as well as several other states, has been the application of a parenting coordinator in high conflict situations.

Typically a mental health professional or a lawyer, a parenting coordinator or “PC” is an individual appointed by order of court and charged with managing on-going issues between parents (and others) in cases with constant and substantial disputes involving child custody and parenting time issues. Either party may petition the Court to appoint a parenting coordinator or if they concur that their situation would benefit from the involvement of the PC, the parties can submit an agreement to appoint one, including selecting the PC. What is a PC’s role? The Order of the Court will have considerable detail as to the extent and limitations of the duties of the PC. Depending on the level appointed, the PC may have the ability to act as a communication facilitator, an ongoing mediator and even, essentially, an arbitrator. As a general rule, the PC cannot modify the court order. For example, the coordinator may recommend a different weekly parenting time schedule, however, does not have the authority to modify the amount of time each parent has with the child(ren). All recommendations of the PC require approval of the Court to go into effect and each party has the opportunity to contest these before the judge, if desired. As the goal is to help the parties effectively co-parent and address issues which may arise from time to time, the parenting coordinator typically meets with both parties regularly, receives day-to-day questions and complaints about any aspect of a party's conduct, gather information from outside sources (schools, doctors, counselors, etc.) and works with the parties, first looking for a consensus or at least a basic agreement. If this is not successful, the PC may choose to inform the parties of what the PC believes is in the best interests of the children

in the hopes of pushing the parties to an agreement. Last, the PC may submit their recommendations to the Court if no agreement is possible.

In Indiana, there are several levels of authority in Indiana for PCs. A Level III Parenting Coordinator is the most frequent choice, holding a high level of authority and may make binding recommendations to the parties on the issues presented for consideration. A binding recommendation may only later be set aside by a Court Order after one party formally objects to the recommendations by filing an objection with the Court. Further, parties should be mindful that the parenting coordinator can later testify in court about the non-compliance or other issues which may arise during the sessions.

How much will this cost? Parenting Coordinators are most often attorneys and charge parents for the time involved in addressing the issues presented. The typical Court order will have the parents sharing the costs such that they are both “invested” in the process.

As part of their authority, however, the PC may have the ability to reapportion costs if one party’s lack of cooperation is clearly a primary issue and the source of a disproportionate amount of the costs.

At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., our team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs. If you have questions or concerns regarding divorce, custody, support, or any other family law concerns contact our firm at 317.DIVORCE or visit our website at www.hzlegal.com. We have attorneys at our firm who are active Parenting Coordinators and available for appointment.

TV myths you want to squash Commentary by David Decker If you’re like us, you love a good renovation show on HGTV or the DIY network. It’s always fun to see a home transformed home from awful to amazing in just under 30 minutes. However, sometimes what you see on television doesn’t reflect reality. We’ve done hundreds of bathroom and kitchen remodels, and installed thousands of feet of flooring, and we can tell you – you can’t always believe what you see on TV. Television myth: Granite is king Some renovation and real estate shows will tell you that granite countertops are a musthave item. We agree that granite is gorgeous, but it’s far from the only great material to use.

Quartz, marble, wood, and even concrete can create a beautiful and durable countertop for your home.

Television myth: Hardwood floors are the only option Remodeling shows tend to put a high-emphasis on installing hardwood floors, and we understand why. However, hardwood floors don’t fit every budget and lifestyle. Modern technology has brought us many laminate and vinyl options that give the look of hardwood at a lower cost, and with greater durability.

We have SUPER VISION ...we can see YOU THIN!
