Moon shoots to help others on local level

By Dan Domsic • dan@youarecurrent.com The very core of the Good Samaritan Network is the tireless volunteers who help it meet its mission of serving Hamilton County’s neediest families.

During the winter months, the organization puts on multiple events for those families, including a Christmas event at the 4-H fairgrounds which puts clothes, food and toys into the hands of many, many families.

To keep the machine moving, and to coordinate the many efforts of the Good Samaritan Network, volunteers are needed in many facets. Judy Moon, a data entry volunteer, is one who helps make Good Samaritan’s mission possible. Moon, a nurse by trade, wanted to remain active when she retired.

Moon went on mission trips to try to stay active, but eventually decided she

Moon wanted to help people on a more local level. Today, she is a Noblesville resident who volunteers out of the network’s office in Fishers and has done so for more than two-and-a-half years.

“I decided I needed to do something locally to help the people locally,” she said.

One phone call to the Good Samaritan office later and she’s now there almost every day during this busy season. She directly helps thousands of people on a local level.

Moon helped log data for more than 18,000 people during the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons last year. Moon and Nancy Chance, Good Samaritan’s executive director, track the information and deliver it to the proper people, making it possible for organizations to select families they can best support, according to Moon.

She said some days are tiring – stacks of information can be daunting – but at the end of the day, she feels good about “doing the Lord’s work.”

Every family has a different story, according to Moon.

“I feel really good when I go home that I’m helping people out,” she said.

Moon said Good Samaritan Network was always looking for more volunteers in many capacities, and those interested should check out the organization’s Web site, www.gsnlive.org.

Tailgating – While the Colts season is over, there is plenty of football left and time to impress your friends as you huddle around the TV. A nice Chile con Queso dip is always a winner. Online now is a recipe that will satisfy your pickiest guests.

The fabric of design – In this week’s column, Vicky Earley explains how the ideal inspiration fabric should have at least three colors which can be blended with two or more additional fabrics. Vary the fabrics with contrast, texture, scale, sheen and pattern. “The process of combining complementary elements taken from different sources typically starts with one stunning textile,” she writes.

Spirituality – Bob Walters explores the scripture and public prayer. He writes the congregants in the prayer-bridling “commentariat” cite Jesus’s words in Matthew 6:6: “But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen.” Yes, Jesus regularly prayed by Himself. But His primary instruction after His resurrection is “go and make disciples of all nations.” To Walters that is anything but an entreaty for exclusively private faith and prayer.

Company facing lawsuit – Indianapolis-based heating, cooling, electrical and plumbing company Mister Quik is the target of a state lawsuit for allegedly misrepresenting the urgency of needed repairs to consumers to boost sales and charge unusually high prices for those services. The state is seeking injunctive relief, consumer restitution, investigative costs and civil penalties. To read the full story, visit www.currentinwestfield.com.

Volunteers sought for prevention program – Chaucie’s Place, a child advocacy center that focuses on the prevention of child sexual abuse, is recruiting volunteers for its Body Safety Prevention and Education Program. Executive Director Toby Stark said Body Safety was a child sexual abuse prevention and education program that teaches elementary school-aged children that their bodies belong to them and that they Stark have the right to say “No” to a touch to their private parts for “no good reason or just to play a game.” Additionally, the program teaches children they should tell a trusted adult about any touches that make them uncomfortable and that abuse is never their fault.

Statehouse /Around Town

Legislators ready for start of 118th General Assembly Commentary by Rep. Kathy Richardson Months of work and preparation have set the tone for the upcoming legislative session which began Monday. Campaigns have concluded, agendas have been rolled out and ballots cast. On Organization Day, the first official meeting of the 118th General Assembly, the Speaker of the House, Brian Bosma, spoke in great length on the importance of working together and finding common ground with members of both parties.

The Speaker continued to make history by appointing Rep. Steve Stemler, a Democrat from Jeffersonville, to serve as a committee chairman. For nearly 200 years, partisan appointments were made for each chairmanship until last session when the Speaker appointed two members of the minority caucus to lead committees. With Republican leadership in place and holding supermajorities in both chambers of the General Assembly, bipartisanship will continue to be preserved.

Indiana is in a great position, well ahead of its Midwest counterparts and much of the country when it comes to private sector job growth, economic development and fiscal prudence. Debts have been reduced and a surplus has been grown to weather economic uncertainty. However, we still face complicated issues: a slow recovery of the national economy, gridlock in Washington, imple-

mentation of Obamacare and relatively high unemployment.

Indiana has been diligent in its proactive approach of attracting the best and brightest to our state, creating jobs at almost twice the rate of the nation (6.6 percent growth versus 3.8 percent.) Recognition has ensued as reports by Pollina Corporate and CNBC, in addition to Chief Executive and Area Development magazines tout Indiana as one of the most pro-business, tax-friendly states in the nation. We need to build on our momentum for continued progress.

As a part-time Legislature, the duration of session is only a few months, ending in April this year. The Legislature will be crafting the next two-year state budget, and everything will be on the table as we look to keep Indiana on the right path. Providing a fiscal framework that creates opportunities for small businesses to grow and hire Hoosiers, in addition to enabling the upcoming generation of leaders in our classrooms with the chance to succeed will keep Indiana moving forward and ahead of the curve.

Kathy Richardson (R-Noblesville) is the state representative for District 29. She can be reached at h29@ in.gov

Cover Story From left, Assistant Planning Director Andy Wert, Planning Director Christy Langley and Zoning Administrator Denise Aschleman look over blueprints.

At age 30, Planning Director Christy Langley is making her mark within city hall and Noblesville

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com The youngest department director in the city’s history and the secret guiding Noblesville’s planning and development is beginning to gain notoriety throughout the state and by her peers across the nation. However, Planning Director Christy Langley, 30, isn’t focused on her success, just the next project to make Noblesville better.

“I’m excited. There are a lot of opportunities, and I’m pumped about them,” she said.

Langley was recently named one of the 10 finalists for Indy’s Best and Brightest award in the government category by the Junior Achievement of Central Indiana. The selection criteria include demonstrating leadership qualities, achieving professional accomplishments, being actively involved in the community, and having a positive effect on others.

“I feel humbled. I have a great support staff. I love my team and I knew it was them (who nominated me),” Langley said. “We’ve always had a team approach – it was my birthday this time.”

December was also a big month for Langley. She was named the planning official development officer on the American Planning Association Indiana Executive Committee. Langley also learned she will be a presenter at the APA’s national conference in Chicago in April.

The Noblesville Common Council also recognized Langley as 2012’s Stake in the Ground honoree at its Dec. 18 meeting. The annual award recognizes a department head who has helped build a better Noblesville and provided exceptional service to the city.

of updating the city’s Comprehensive Master Plan,” Council President Greg O’Connor said. “The council felt her efforts and accomplishments make her very deserving of this award.”

All of this in just a few months. Langley’s move last year came with big shoes to fill as she replaced Steve Huntley, who worked in the city’s planning department for almost 32 years, serving as director since 1980.

“I’ve been very happy with the work Christy has done since she took over as planning director,” Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear said. “She has the vision and skills needed to take the department up to the next level and has wasted no time in jumping in and doing just that.”

In historical perspective, Langley said the planning department was created as a way to properly insure good development – zoning and density.

“Planning has evolved as much as development has,” she said.

Langley said six years ago the planning department was one of the busiest departments in the entire city as it processed 100 permits a month.

“We had 400 permits in 2011,” she said. “We see so many more citizens than other departments. Customer service is extremely important. We make an impression – how you are treated when you call and how they responded to you.”

But issuing permits is “reactive” in Langley’s mind and the department needs to be proactive as well.

“It should serve two purposes – current and long-range vision planning,” she said. “That’s what I hope to ramp up a little bit. What is our vision with the city? We need to adopt a vision to market strategies, trends and new innovative ways of development.”

Langley said her department planned to “continue the momentum” of building and connecting trails. The planning department is currently conducting an audit of the city’s Unified Development Ordinance, which was originally written in 1996, and is looking to update its comprehensive master plan.

“It guides all the development in the city. It sets sew areas for houses, individual parking, commercial centers,” Langley said. “It’s a year-long process – the master plan for the entire community.”

Before heading the planning department, Langley worked in the city’s economic development office as an assistant director for five years. Economic Development Director Judi Johnson said Langley helped make improvements downtown, assisted with the façade grant program and led beautification projects.

“Christy is on the cutting edge of what’s new,” Johnson Johnson said.

Langley sees her background in economic development as a huge benefit.

“Planning is integral in economic development. They are two separate organizations but the city can’t survive without either one – it’s a very symbiotic relationship,” she said. “Economic Development is all about creating opportunity. Planning is about realizing the opportunity ... less reactive and more proactive.”

Know More – The planning department is responsible for administering the policies, programs and regulations that manage the development of the Noblesville community. The department is tasked with ensuring the sound management of Noblesville’s growth, the protection of its quality of life, and its economic vitality through a variety of comprehensive planning measures. The department also plays a central role in guiding the long-term development of the built and natural environment and is comprised of 12 staff members who monitor and update the city’s comprehensive master plan, ensure compliance of planning and zoning codes, draft land use policy, administer building codes and compliance, and guide and support the work of the Noblesville Planning Commission, Board of Zoning of Appeals, and Architectural Review Board.

A life-saving donation It is our position that Designer Skin should be recognized for their thoughtfulness and giving to one of our county’s worthy organizations and its inhabitants. On Jan. 4, Designer Skin made a $10,000 donation to the Humane Society for Hamilton County.

The donation will go a long way toward saving the lives of animal’s that have been discarded or mistreated by their owners.

HSHC Executive Director Rebecca Stevens said donations like this and the $24,526 check from the Sam Zeckel family in November were used to support the survivor program. Because the shelter does everything possible to save the lives of all animals, Stevens said these donations to the survivor program provided emergency and life-saving care to animals brought to the shelter.

Designer Skin said the donation was possible because of the support of local customers at tanning salons who bought its Charmed tanning lotion, knowing the proceeds from their purchase went to the local shelters.

Traditionally traditional Commentary by Terry Anker Reminded of the erstwhile George Bailey crying out that he’d lost Zuzu’s petals, I wonder if the traditions carefully crafted in our own family will endure or quietly disappear.

Would, if asked, our progeny identify seasonal traditions that have come to have meaning to them? And if so, would those named correspond with those intended by we parents at inception? Would the long valued and treasured patterns from my own childhood be lost as merged with those of my spouse and still again those derived from our own marriage?

Remembering the most direct path to a direct answer is a direct question, “So children,” I queried, “What if any do you believe to be our family holiday traditions?” Without hesitation and in near unity, they responded that they took great value in the routine, designed to keep them away from the tree on Christmas morning, of sleeping on the floor of my wife and my bedroom. They didn’t speak to Midnight services, copious decorations or

receiving gifts. The tradition they’d found most meaningful was one that we didn’t even consider a tradition! Surprised by the response – especially in the consistency and conviction of answer – I listened as the boys recalled memories from one holiday to the next, of nights in sleeping bags, surrounded by dogs and Cheetos. They were right, this silly little pattern had become a tradition. And, it had become one that mattered – not just to them, but to me too.

So this year, when we put away the last of our midnight snacks and extinguished all the lights, our bedroom found a 16-year-old just now taller than me, his 12-year-old brother not far behind, a happy dog, and a very content Mom and Dad. It’s not a grand tradition, but it’s ours and we love it.

This really is quite a terrific move: The Westfield Youth Assistance Program has announced that the program is expanding into Noblesville.

The newly formed Noblesville Youth Assistance this month is to begin identifying and accepting referred youth. A caseworker will be in Noblesville School’s Administration Office.

The City of Westfield, Westfield Washington Schools and the Hamilton County Probation Division created the Youth Assistance Program.

Its goal continues to be the identification of youth in need of assistance before becoming part of the growing juvenile and criminal justice system. The program provides treatment for the family, ultimately ensuring that the child begins heading down the right path. Although the youth are evaluated and treated based on specific needs, the treatment consists of, but is not limited to, a mentoring program, community volunteering involvement, family education, skill-building tutoring programs and scholarship camps. We’ve seen the difference it has made in Westfield and we’re big supporters of the effort. In Noblesville, the program is a partnership of the City of Noblesville, the Hamilton County Juvenile Court Judges and Noblesville Schools. The entry into Noblesville gives those who are able marvelous opportunities to become mentors and tutors for the children that are referred into the program. If this interests you, please register at www.youthassistance.org or call 804-3191.

Keeping abreast of the busts Commentary by Danielle Wilson I’m not sure why, but for some reason bust size has been front and center in my recent conversations. Let’s explore further, shall we?

It all started a few days ago when I learned a friend of a friend’s brother’s ex-roommate’s wife had successfully undergone breast augmentation. I have considered the surgery, so I’m always curious as to the cost and recovery and overall outcome of anyone who has actually had the nerve to go through with it. The gal in question had a wonderful experience; she had little to no down time (important when one has children and/or a job) and obviously saw immediate, big results. You go, girl!

Several days later, I found myself not watching the Colts game but rather discussing the pros and cons of plastic surgery with the two women next to me. We focused mainly on the brazier region, though we tossed in tummy tucks for good measure. (And before you accuse me of hating on Pagano, know that any woman who has borne children has considered at least for a moment “fixing” the often-times disastrous physical aftermath of pregnancy and nursing, and when given a choice between “first and ten” and “liposuction,” she’s going to opt for the lipo.) Anyhoo, turns out both of them have also thought about some extra padding up top.

Money is the biggest factor holding them back,

especially when they think about all the better uses of a few extra grand.

The boob trilogy ended with my annual mammogram yesterday, and for some reason, the procedure was much “twistier” and “tuggier” than I remember. My technician was lovely, but the squashing was far more pronounced this time.

I had to wonder if my small size was the cause.

Surely having more to work with would make the scanning easier? Of course, more surface area would mean more cold steel pressed up against me. Um, I’ll pass. Regardless, I was less tolerant of the screening and came home feeling slightly man-handled. At least buy a girl a drink first!

So the chest area has been at the forefront of my life lately. Typically this only happens during swimsuit season when I see two of my sisters looking fabulous thanks to their own surgical C-cup plunges. What can it all mean? Is it just more acceptable and common to talk about plastic surgery these days, or is someone trying to tell me I should reconsider a little “enhancement” myself? I don’t know, but I’ll be sure to keep you abreast of the situation. (I’ve been trying to work that line in since this article began!) Peace out.

It all gets down to manners Commentary by Mike Redmond I recently heard a fellow say that old age begins when the world no longer makes sense to you. By that standard, I entered my Golden Years when I was 9.

The remark came as part of a talk on technology, which I’ll admit rules our lives in ways we couldn’t begin to imagine 20, 10 or even five years ago. But just because I can’t figure out how to program my new phone doesn’t mean I’m old.

Oh, phones. They are a boon to mankind and a bane to our existence, aren’t they? They allow us to do a zillion things, including staying in touch with one another, while simultaneously eroding the bedrock of a civilized society.

It all gets down to manners.

I was raised to understand that a person’s telephone conversation is privileged, and that a polite person leaves the room when someone takes a call. Also, a polite person doesn’t take a call when he or she is engaged in conversation with an actual live human being-type person in the room.

As a kid, I actually found this very confusing: Leave the room when someone’s on the phone, but don’t answer the phone when someone’s in the room? Huh?

Today, telephonic portability has rendered the old rules useless, and what used to be seen as intolerably rude – people feeling free to make and take calls or texts regardless of where they are, who they’re with or what they’re doing – is normal. You don’t even get a chance to be polite.

As usual, I blame my generation, the Baby Boomers®. We might have been raised with manners but that doesn’t mean we’ve passed them along.

We are so weird. We’ll spend hundreds of dollars on eBay trying to recapture our kidhoods by buying the toys we lost. But when it comes to something from the olden days that could actually be useful – using some manners, not to mention some common sense, where phones are concerned – well, we sort of let that one slide.

I realize I sound a bit cranky, and I suppose that is another way to say old. But I’m not, really. I just believe that our lives could all be improved if we remembered our manners and thought about someone other than ourselves once in a while.

Comedy by Jeff Daniels hits Buck Creek stage news@currentnoblesville.com

Whether you are a fan of deer hunting or not, you’ll enjoy the Soady clan in Jeff Daniels’ “Escanaba in da Moonlight.” Opening Jan. 25 and running through Feb. 3 at Buck Creek Playhouse, 11150 Southeastern Ave., Indianapolis, you can join the fun and hilarity without the long drive up north.

The story is narrated by Albert Soady, the patriarch, played by Ken Ganza. His two sons join him at the Soady Deer Camp, located “north of the Mackinaw Bridge and just south of heaven.” It’s just the guys here, doing what guys do at the start of hunting season.

Beer, whiskey, cards ... the essentials.

Albert’s oldest son, Rueben, played by Joe Siefker, is a dim hunter slouching into middle age, ostracized by the men in his family and the children of the town of Escanaba for his annual inability to bag a buck. Rueben joins his father, his brother Remnar, played by Stefan U.G. LeBlanc, and eccentric family friend Jimmer Negamany from Menominee, played

by Tim Staggs, at the Soady deer camp for their yearly, alcohol-soaked ritual of tall tales and one-upmanship.

Albert says of his younger son, “Remnar turned out to be pretty much what you’d expect from somebody who went by the name of Remnar.”

Remnar is wildly enthusiastic about hunting season.

“It’s like Christmas, with guns!” he proclaims.

Jimmer was once abducted by aliens and spent a weekend in “shpashe.” Rueben has a bigger problem since he has never shot a buck, and is ridiculed by the entire population of the town of Escanaba. He hopes that this year he will break the curse and bring home a trophy buck with the help of his Ojibwa wife, Wolf Moon Dance, played by Cerissa Marsh.

Otherworldly forces conspire to keep the Soady men from achieving their goals.

However, soon after they set up camp, they’re plagued by blinding lights and hallucinogenic

visions, imparted to them – presumably – by UFOs. When Ranger Tom of the Dept. of Natural Resources (Dennis Karr) arrives on their doorstep, the Soadys know that their evening is about to become stranger still, and Rueben’s hopes of living down his reputation as “Da Buckless Yooper” are all but dashed.

‘The Other Dream Team’ • Not Rated, 91 minutes Commentary by Chris Lloyd During a slow week for new video releases, you might want to take time to check out “The Other Dream Team,” a scrappy little documentary about the Lithuanian national basketball team.

Playing in the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, the Lithuanians did not prove much of an actual challenge to the better-known Dream Team, which consisted of American NBA stars like Michael Jordan, Larry Bird and Magic Johnson.

(The U.S. beat them 127-76.) But, the team from Lithuania, which had for decades been absorbed as part of the Soviet Union, made history playing again as a sovereign nation, winning the bronze medal in the process.

Director Marius A. Markevicius keeps the pace zippy, mixing archival footage of basketball

games, news reels of Lithuanians marching for their independence as the Iron Curtain fell, plus contemporaneous interviews with the players and their opponents. Some are familiar faces – like Arvydas Sabonis and Sarunas Marciulionis, who both went on to productive NBA careers – while many others we’re meeting for the first time.

It’s an often thrilling portrait of young men who were playing for their country at a time when it was shrugging off the shackles of totalitarianism. They were living the real dream.

Top tips for a healthy new year Commenraty by Steven Hill, MD If your New Year’s resolutions include improving your health, there are important habits you can adopt to help keep you on track. The top three healthy habits for everyone are: Exercise regularly – The American Heart Association recommends that adults engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise each week. Aerobic exercise is generally recommended, and adults are encouraged to add weight/resistance training and stretching to their program.

Eat healthy – Be sure your diet includes plenty of fruits and vegetables. Avoid foods high in salt, sugar and fat. Watch portion sizes and avoid snacking.

Get adequate sleep – Adults typically need between seven and nine hours of sleep nightly.

Avoid meals and exercise close to bedtime.

Staying healthy this year also begins with the right preventive care. General preventive health guidelines for women and men include: Women • Schedule an annual check-up with your primary care doctor.

• Have your cholesterol checked if you are older than 20; be sure your doctor also screens for pre-diabetes/diabetes.

• Schedule a colorectal cancer screening beginning at age 50; earlier if you have a family history of the disease.

• Practice breast self-exams; have a clinical breast exam at least every three years in your 20s and 30s; schedule yearly mammograms beginning at age 40.

• Begin cervical cancer screenings at age 21 and continue every three years (if results are normal) until age 65.

• Schedule HPV (human papillomavirus) screenings every five years between ages 30 Obesity and the young – According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, obesity in kids has declined by a tiny bit. However, one in 10 toddlers in the United States is still obese. – www.thechart. blogs.cnn.com

Business How do you file an accident claim?

DOUGH

Commentary by Jamie Ianigro Question from Samuel B. from Carmel: I saw a minor fender-bender yesterday in a roundabout on my way to work, and I realized I have no idea what I’m supposed to do if I have to file an auto claim. What should I know?

Response from Jamie Ianigro: Being in an automobile accident, no matter how minor, is a scary thing. Your independent insurance agent should be able to provide you with a card to keep in your glove box that outlines everything you need to do if you are in an accident. Here is what we recommend.

1. Take a deep breath and assess the situation.

Get your vehicle and passengers out of further harm if the vehicle is still operable.

2. Make sure no one in your vehicle needs immediate medical attention. Next, check the occupants of any other vehicle involved.

3. Call the police. It doesn’t matter how minor the accident. Having a police report filed will make your claim process much smoother.

4. Exchange insurance information and record the details. Make sure the other driver’s insurance is not out of date. Get their phone number, address, license plate number and the make and model of their car.

5. Use your camera phone to take pictures of your car from every angle and of any

damage.

6. Obtain a copy of the police report and call your independent agent to file a claim.

Driving without insurance coverage in Indiana is illegal and a great way to end up with a suspended license or serious financial problems. The starting point for insurance in Indiana is the required state minimum coverages. The minimums are $25,000 per injured person, $50,000 per accident and $10,000 for property damage. The current cost of medical expenses and auto repairs make it clear that those amounts are not going to get you very far when it comes time to settle a claim. They also provide you zero protection from motorists that drive around without insurance or with the inadequate state minimum insurance.

I recommend limits of $250,000 per injured person, $500,000 per accident and $100,000 for property damage with an endorsement to protect you from uninsured and underinsured motorists. You can also get a discount by packaging these policies together with your homeowner’s policy. Let me know if you have any further questions about this and drive safely.

Grammar Guy

Relive the past in the historical present Commentary by Jordan Fischer Question: After the “myself” issue – how about “her and me” or “him and I?” And as another issue, why on earth do sportscasters refer to past events in the present tense? – Nancy Blackwell Answer: Since there are football games going on all around me as I try to write this column, I think I’ll tackle your second question today, Nancy.

The rhetorical tense you’re referring to is called historical present, or dramatic present. It is used, as you’ve pointed out, to narrate events which have already happened as though they are ongoing. Journalists use this technique quite frequently when writing headlines: “House burns out of control” versus “House burned out of control.” The historical present tense gives the headline a greater sense of being immediate, “breaking” news, even though the event may have happened the day before.

The historical present tense is used frequently in accounts of history in an attempt to place the reader or audience “in the action,” so to speak.

Ken Burns’ fantastic documentary on the Civil War uses the historical present to wonderful effect. “If Robert E. Lee loses the siege of Petersburg,” Burns’ narrator might say, “the South has all but lost the war.” Although the events being described happened more than 150 years ago, the historical present tense allows Burns to

{ S E C O N D C I T Y. C O M }

maintain the sense of drama for his audience which actual observers of the conflict would have felt.

Sportscasters, I imagine, use the historical present for much the same effect (Although I have heard speculation that they employ it out of laziness, as using past tense would often require a too-hefty mouthful of words.) Being a Butler grad, I’ll offer you an example from the university’s first try at the NCAA basketball championship against Duke University. As the clock ran down, Butler University sophomore Gordon Hayward took a half-court shot which would have won the game for his team. This is the clip ESPN plays during every Butler basketball game anymore. Here is what the sportscaster says: “If Hayward makes the shot, the Bulldogs win their first NCAA championship. If not, they go home to Indianapolis as runners-up.” Of course, the shot was off by some ridiculously minute degree – and we had to suffer another championship to Duke – but the historical present tense allows us to relive that heart-stopping moment as the ball pinged off the backboard over and over again. And over and over and over again, thanks to ESPN. Jordan Fischer is a contributing columnist for Current Publishing.

New year, newly organized space Commentary by David Decker

A new year has begun, and it’s the perfect time to start fresh and get rid of all the junk that’s cluttering up your life – and your home.

Simplify your life by getting organized with the help of some well-designed products and innovative storage solutions. Take a look at a few of these creative ideas and little enhancements.

Because it’s often the hub of a home, the kitchen is notorious for becoming messy and disorderly. The easiest way to keep unnecessary items from cluttering up your kitchen is to ensure that everything has a designated spot.

Consider replacing some of the cabinet shelves with pull out drawers or trays. Drawers often have a larger surface area for storage, and you’ll also be able to reach items at the back of the cabinet with greater ease. For added organization, you can install the same rolling trays or drawers in the pantry. You can group similar foods in the pantry together for easy access. You can even designate each member of the family a shelf so everyone knows where their favorite foods are.

If you aren’t looking to change your cabinets or pantry, there are also a number of small ways you can maximize kitchen organization. Store dishes, baking supplies or linens in a little armoire in the kitchen. A basic pegboard can be

room in the house: the bathroom. Keeping everything organized in the bathroom can be a difficult task. Well-designed built-in storage or shelving are great for storing towels, soaps and other products. Try to install storage in overlooked places such as walls, corners or the back of the door. If you are faced with limited space, you could use small baskets or hooks to organize toiletries instead of shelves. All you need is a little creative thinking to get around those pesky storage capacity problems.

No matter which room you choose to tackle, getting organized is a great way to begin the year off on the right note. Take the opportunity to start fresh and enjoy the possibilities on the horizon. Happy 2013! Let’s make this year a great one.
