Pearl Harbor Remembrance

Members of Navy Club Ship No. 29 held a Pearl Harbor Remembrance ceremony inside the Noblesville City Hall Council Chambers at 11 a.m. Dec. 1. The event included the history of the attacks on Pearl Harbor, an explanation of flag folding, announcement of poster contest winners, 21-gun salute and wreath laying.

DVD Review – Chris Lloyd reviews “The Bourne Legacy.” The Bourne superspy franchise returns for a fourth outing, but the amnesiac hero played by Matt Damon is nowhere to be found. Instead, it’s about a new agent named Aaron Cross (Jeremy Renner). Like Bourne, he was an elite member of a CIA assassin squad that the bureaucrats have now decided is too dangerous to exist.

Cops help keep kids warm with clothes, smiles By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com As temperatures continue to drop, the importance of the “Shop with a Cop” program continues to rise. The need for the program, which has provided warm winter clothes to area children for the past 15 years, was never more evident than on Dec. 1 when 70 children participated in the program at Noblesville’s Meijer store, 17000 Mercantile Blvd. “It’s especially gratifying for us as law enforcement officers to meet these families with a smile on our faces and put a smile on their faces,” said Noblesville Police Officer Jon Williams, who has coordinated the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge No. 198’s “Shop with a Cop” program all of its 15-year history. “It’s a positive interaction with the public. Sometimes when we meet people it’s the most traumatic event going on in their life.” “It’s great for officers,” added F.O.P. Lodge President Mike Sadler. “It’s an opportunity to work within the community in a different way.” Williams said the “Shop with a Cop” participants – infants to 16-year-olds – come from a holiday assistance list given to the Noblesville F.O.P. by Nancy Chance of Good Samaritan Network. “A significant segment of the middle class is struggling right now,” Williams said. “We see it regularly in the course of our employment.” “Shop with a Cop” participants walk around the store, and, with the help of their guardians and Noblesville Police officers, officers’ wives and sometimes even their children, pick out winter clothes including coats, gloves, shirts, pants, boots and even underwear and pajamas. Once all the children have the proper clothes for the cold climates, they head over to the toy department to select a present. “It’s hard to say no. Sometime gifts are more expensive than normal,” said Sadler. “For a lot of these kids you can tell this may be it for them for Christmas” Noblesville’s F.O.P. raises money for the “Shop with a Cop” program through a telemarketing drive each year, donations at or after the event, direct donations from individuals and businesses and from the Noblesville High

Free parking returns for December shoppers news@currentnoblesville.com For the past few years, the City of Noblesville has offered free parking in the metered City Hall parking lot as an incentive to promote downtown holiday shopping. That tradition is in effect again and will last the entire month of December. The City Hall public parking lot is located off Conner Street one block away from the courthouse

square. The Noblesville Street Department has placed covers over all the meters in the lot. “This program helps us to encourage people to support the ‘shop local’ movement in the downtown area.

Genealogy and gifting

Commentary by Darla Kinney Scoles

Those who have a passion for the family tree often begin the year with the goal of completing some big family history project to give their kin at the holidays. Just as often, however, those projects are not quite as far along as the family historian would like, come December. No matter. Giving a gift of shared heritage doesn’t have to mean a large-scale endeavor is involved. Keep it simple and the offering will still be special. A family photo calendar is an easy and inexpensive gift that has the bonus aspect of being a year-round reminder of what connects and grounds us in life. These can be done on the computer or at a local copy center with little fuss. Especially appreciated are those calendars that include all the significant days in the extended family – birthdays, anniversaries, and upcoming events such as graduations. The family photo greeting card is a nice tradition that can be taken one step further to make it even more endearing. That photo of everyone in their best dress can be fitted into a nice small frame and adorned with a hanging ribbon to create an ornament that will decorate the tree

year after year. I recently received not one, but two, family eggnog recipes that I will cherish forever – and they are not even from MY family’s recipes! Just knowing that a recipe has been handed down through generations makes it inherently unique. Why not share one or two dishes with a bit of story background and maybe even a photo of the original recipe-holder at the holidays? Special dishes make special gifts. Add to these ideas: a family history CD of the work you have completed; copies of old family photos, tombstone rubbings or family records such as a marriage certificate or census page; or a compiled tribute scrapbook of one particular ancestor – and there are plenty of choices in gifting with a genealogical theme. These presents don’t have to be fancy or extensive to be appreciated. Memorable meaning is found in the time spent preserving their content for present and future generations to enjoy.

Accident sends three to hospital By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com A motor vehicle accident sent three people to the hospital the morning of Dec. 5. At approximately 8:36 a.m., Noblesville police officers responded to the 800 block of Cicero Road (Ind. 19) and located two vehicles and three occupants who were involved in the crash. NPD Spokesman Lt. Bruce Barnes said based on preliminary information, it appearsed that a 2005 Saturn, driven by Chelsey A. Kennett, 22, of Anderson, and a 2007 International utility truck, driven by Scott N. Carey, 42, of Noblesville, collided head-on near the south entrance to Forest Park.

“Evidence suggests that Kennett was traveling southbound and Carey was traveling northbound prior to the collision,” he said. “Accident reconstructionists from the Noblesville Police Department are investigating the crash.” Kennett and a passenger, Joshua McFarland, 22, of Anderson, were transported to Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis. Carey was treated at Riverview Hospital. “All occupants were conscious and alert at the scene prior to transport,” Barnes said. Cicero Road was closed between Logan Street and Field Drive for several hours as investigators collected information regarding the crash. As of publication time, Barnes said the cause of the crash was still under investigation.

Cover Story

Forty-three years after leaving the Vietnam War, Hugh Catron fulfills his goal of returning a family Bible By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com The 155th Assault Helicopter Co. called Camp Coryell in Ban Me Thuot, South Vietnam was home from 1965 to 1970. In the early morning hours of Jan. 30, 1968, an intensive attack on Ban Me Thuot and the adjacent airfield began. At that time, both flares and gunships were ordered airborne in support of various check points and outposts under attack. At 2 a.m., 10 minutes after the initial attack, the 155th went into full “red” alert, and at 2:50 a.m. approximately 20 rounds of hostile mortar fire fell on the city airfield complex. Small arms fire was encountered throughout the night. One of the 300 soldiers fighting the North Vietnamese Army’s force of 10,000 was Noblesville resident Hugh Thomas Catron. “I was 20 years old when this all was happening,” he said. “I was a young man back then.” After four days of solid fighting, 24 soldiers volunteered to secure the local missionary compound “at great personal risk.” Catron said the missionaries, which included lead pastor Ed Thompson and his wife, Ruth, would visit the camp for supplies on Wednesdays and provide chapel service on Sundays. “Ed and I would sit and argue about the

Bible. He was very dedicated,” Catron said, recalling a particular disagreement between the figurative and literal parting of the Red Sea. “If I didn’t volunteer I knew they’d say, ‘Where’s Hugh?’ ” Unknown at the time, the NVA overran the missionary compound – killing six and capturing two, of which one survived as the Vietnam forces retreated. “We were expecting the worse. We were expecting to receive a confrontation. All there was were dead bodies. It was pretty shocking ... and death was commonplace,” Catron said. “I can’t believe anyone would kill an unarmed missionary. These people had no way of defending themselves. It was like shooting fish in a barrel.” Ed and Ruth Thompson were among the murdered Christians. Catron said the Thompsons died holding each other. When the bodies were pried apart, Catron said the couple’s Bible was between them, which he removed. “I was chewed out by a sergeant. I told him, ‘I hardly think this is a souvenir,’ ” he said. “My intention in 1968 was to get the Bible to the family, but I didn’t know where they were from.” Catron put the book in his jungle fatigues pants pocket and stored it inside a foot locker at base camp. After being discharged from the Army in June 1969, Catron lived in Westfield and Indianapolis before Noblesville. “The Bible was always there with me,” he

said, adding that he kept the Bible safe inside a zip lock bag to help keep moisture out. A couple of times each month, Catron would spend time looking and holding the bloodstained Bible. “It’s something you look at; like going through an old high school (yearbook),” he said. “I knew what the contents were – blood and all.” Over time, Catron said he discarded his photos and other memories from Vietnam and came close to getting rid of the Bible. “When I was spring cleaning I said, ‘Do I really need to hold onto it?’ ” he said. “I thought about putting it in the Dumpster, but it’s too valuable. It finally found its right home. That’s why I kept it all these years. I knew what I had.” On July 7, 2011, Catron went onto his computer and searched Google at 3 a.m. He came across the Christian & Missionary Alliance Web site and left a comment informing the organization of his “temporary” possession. “It was more on a whim,” said Catron. “I held onto it for 43 years. I wanted to get it into the right hands but didn’t know what the right hands were. I got a call back that morning.” Catron then mailed the 1809 copyrighted Bible to the alliance, which placed it in an acidfree archival envelope where it will be preserved in the alliance archives. “It took 43 years but I accomplished it,” he said. “Now I’m a celebrity in Colorado Springs (home of the alliance). Jen Rohde, the alliance’s archival director, told me there are more requests to see this Bible than the alliance

founder’s Bible.” “We wept when we read it (the email),” said Peter Burgo, managing editor of Alliance Life, the magazine of the Christian & Missionary Alliance. The email surprised everyone, especially the couple’s children. “God must have a wonderful plan for all of you, and you must be very special to him to have been entrusted to keep this Bible safe for my family,” Judith Thompson Button, the oldest daughter of the Thompsons, wrote to Catron. “I don’t think that we would been appreciative of the significance of this Bible at the time my parents were killed because we were so angry and hurt. We knew that God was in charge but at the time we also knew that the center of our world had been ripped away from us. “I have been weeping with joy ever since I heard that you had saved the Bible and that it will be kept safe for generations to come. It is the only thing that survived the attack, but the most precious thing of all,” she continued. The Thompson children all visited Vietnam and their parents’ grave site in December 2009. “Since 1968, the church has grown from 60,000 to more than 1 million. We also learned that half of all the tribal peoples are now Christians,” said David Thompson, the oldest son of the Thompsons.

VIEWS

Opinion

Pay dirt or dirt pay? It is our position that there is a disparity in the salary of the governor of the state of Indiana and Presidents of state run universities that deserves to be examined. As governor of the state of Indiana, Mitch Daniels earned a salary of $95,000 a year. His new role as president of Purdue University is expected to garner a salary of at least five times as much as he was paid to run the 15th most populous state out of 50 in the United States of America. Yet, it’s not a job in public servancy or academics that garners the top pay spot for the state of Indiana. Hoosiers love their basketball, and they are willing to pay for it as Indiana University basketball coach Tom Crean garners the top spot as the highest paid public employee of the state with a salary and fringe benefits package totaling $2.3 million. While state government and state universities have very different revenue streams on which to base their budgets, the question becomes who is paid too little, who is paid too much, and are the salaries appropriate for the level of responsibility?

Rest in peace, Republican party?

Banksters

Commentary by Terry Anker

A clever turn of the phrase holds great appeal. Since Og first managed to communicate with his fellow cave dwellers, twisting words to highlight an irony, incongruence or absurdity delivers both jocularity and resonance. Today, whole cultures evolved to use language as an indicator of inclusion (or exclusion). Perhaps it is a function of the over-abundance of media, but each cluster has taken to using its own contortion of the spoken word to establish its boundaries. Rap stars, perfectly able to speak in full and complete sentences, chose to perform songs comprised almost entirely of the jargon that belongs to a self-created audience. Government officials become wedded to the alphabet soup of acronyms and ubiquitous form-speak that at once obscures and obfuscates direct messages intended for the citizens they are pledged to serve. But in a desire to be clever, pithy or simply to come up with an expression that can be trademarked and printed on T-shirts for a fee (the word threepeat comes to mind), those of

us who communicate for a living may have done a disservice to our profession. Do we confuse when we simply intend to entertain? During the most recent national financial crisis, some adroit wordsmith coined the term “banksters” to illustrate the gangster-like thievery that was witnessed in some moneyed banking circles. But given that everyone from reining professional athletes to the latest train-wreck starlet has some variation of “GANGSTER” tattooed for the world to see, does bankster carry a negative or positive connotation? One can imagine the thirtysomething hotshot as he helicopters from his ultra-swank digs in SoHo to the colossal (if rented) weekend house on Long Island who is fully embracing the bankster lifestyle. Is theft and abject immorality intended to be cool, but we’re not sufficiently in the club to get it? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

As we watch the ongoing Washington negotiations regarding the omnipresent “Fiscal Cliff,” we have to say how impressed we are at how quickly the Republican Party has begun the process of caving on the issue of raising taxes (or closing loopholes; same thing. Both result in more money being sent to Washington, which promptly would be wasted.). We predicted the party would cave, but we actually thought it would put up a fight and then cave, which is its history. We’ve oftentimes written about our frustrations with the national Republican Party, with its never-ending tendency to run from a fight. We believe that if the GOP gives in on the issue of raising taxes in any way, the party simply needs to shut down. We certainly don’t need two liberal parties. The party needs to stand firm against any increase in taxes. So, off the fiscal cliff we go. Republicans then need to talk to the American people directly, not through the filter of the mainstream American media, and explain the party’s position (It’s the spending!) And because President Barack Obama is addicted to the idea of raising taxes, it is he who will be guilty of forcing all of us to pay more in taxes starting next month. ••• We respect and admire billionaire investor Warren Buffett. However, we can’t help but find him hypocritical when he urges tax increases for the rich. Those rates were no problem for him as he built his fortune and, now that he’s worth north of $40 billion, he thinks now’s the time to raise these rates.

VIEWS Humor December: Panic, plague and party pandemonium Commentary by Danielle Wilson Ah, December. I have hit the panic button on shopping; our kids have begun their second round of winter colds, stomach bugs, and dry skin rashes; and family gatherings have increased in both frequency and chaos level. How I love the holiday season! No kidding, I really do enjoy the crazy. The race to find the perfect gift, while strategically avoiding traffic congestion and financial ruin, is what I live for. After all, I’m able to employ my significant cyber skills, people-whispering talents, and penny-pinching nature to their maximum capacities, all in the name of Santa Claus. Essentially, December’s a green light for shopping, and because I’m not spending the money on myself, the experience is practically guilt-free. And when the stress of it all becomes too overwhelming, I have egg nog and Pickleknuckle (our elf-onthe-shelf) to talk me off the ledge. Deck the halls with booze and fantasy creatures! Granted, December does have the uncanny ability to transform our house into an infirmary. But alongside the thermometers, discarded Kleenex, and empty bottles of ginger ale, Children’s Motrin and Jergen’s bottles, there are twinkle lights and garland and multi-colored breakable glass bulbs. At least when I’m cleaning up my daughter’s projectiles from the sink (which is “much closer than the toilet, Mom. You should be thankful I made it that far!”) I can breathe in that pine-fresh scent from the

evergreen sprig I shoved into a lamp base and garner sympathy from the plastic angel hovering above me. Silent night, indeed. Most importantly, December affords me the opportunity to appreciate just how far our six-pack has come over the years. I have four siblings, Doo has five. Between our families, there are 26 grandkids, most of whom are 6 and younger. You don’t have to be a math geek to understand that get-togethers are sheer bedlam. But now that our children are older, Doo and I can sit back and mock those with little ones, occasionally pitching in to change a diaper or wipe a face, but only if the spirit so moves us. We actually get to eat a full meal at one sitting while the food is still hot and engage in adult conversation about the awesome-ness of the “Twilight” saga without worrying about bedtimes and bottles and booboos. Let’s face it, holidays are a schlep with infants and toddlers, but they are truly fun with big kids. God rest ye merry parents! So bring it on, December. I welcome your inclement weather, sherry-infused fruit cake, and incessant junk emails from retailers. And despite your propensity for inducing panic, plague, and party pandemonium, you are by far the most wonderful time of the year. Peace out.

Mo’s restaurant opening Friday in Clay Terrace By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com In Indianapolis, many people find Mo’s is the place for steak. Now the steakhouse is providing Hamilton County a one-spot stop for good beef as it expands its Central Indiana footprint with a new second restaurant in Carmel’s Clay Terrace Mall. The restaurant will open Friday. “We’re very, very excited,” owner Jeremiah Hamman said about Mo’s first non-metropolitan location. “The growth is exploding around us. It’s a best place to raise a family. We’re excited to be a part of the community.” Several factors influenced Hamman’s decision to expand to Hamilton County, including the potential customer demographic, continued community growth in this area, a welcoming attitude and work from Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard and the city, and Simon Properties’ assistance and commitment to providing a workable lease arrangement. “The partnership with Simon Properties was big,” he said, adding the arrangement made the second location more attractive and feasible. “Although Simon is the largest real estate company in the world, it’s clear to me that they are committed to helping local businesses succeed within their property environments.” Hamman, president of Epic Hospitality Group, has been a managing partner with Mo’s since the restaurant joined the downtown Indianapolis dining scene. His passion for outstanding service, cuisine and wine pairing promises a

menu that’s both traditional and diverse. “It just; became me. It wasn’t a conscious decision it was what I became,” he said about becoming a restaurateur. “I love the fact I don’t sit in a cubicle and every day is different. The people I meet and the interaction is priceless.” Since its doors opened downtown in 2003,

the upscale steakhouse has quickly risen to recognition as one of Indianapolis’ top fine dining establishments, earning an impeccable reputation and many accolades for its food and wine selection. The Clay Terrace location will feature the same great food, drinks, exceptional wine and hospitality that the Indianapolis location has become famous for among the city’s business professionals, fine dining community and celebrity crowd. “There will be a few suburban twists – wine night, martini night, bar menu items,” said Hamman. “Things we don’t offer downtown to cater to the suburbs.” Hamman whose group also owns Detour: An American Grille and Taste of Sensu in the Arts & Design District, prides Mo’s on its customized service and meticulous attention to detail. The Carmel Mo’s will feature a comfortable ambiance with an incredible outdoor patio area perfect for evening cocktails and dining. The Clay Terrace location also has impressive facilities for banquets, meetings and private parties. Hamman said total seating for the restaurant is more than 350. He also said the “very diverse menu” will feature many of the same items as the downtown restaurant including USDA certified prime beef, from which Chef Thomas Melvin hand selects each cut. “There are a lot of offers when it comes to appetizers,” he said. “We’re a steakhouse that caters to non-steak eaters.”

Mo’s A Place for Steaks Where: 14300 Clay Terrace Blvd., Suite 155 (adjacent to Dick’s Sporting Goods) Hours: The bar opens at 4:30 p.m. and the dining room begins seating at 5 p.m. The restaurant is open until 10 p.m. Sunday, 11 p.m. Monday through Thursday and midnight on Friday and Saturday. • Head chef: Thomas Melvin • Seating: The main area seats 120; three private dining areas provide 24, 28 and 40 chairs; the bar has room for 60; and 80 people can occupy the outdoor patio.

Peppermint Brownies

Ingredients: one tablespoon plus one cup butter, divided; eight ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped; four teaspoons instant coffee granules; 1 tablespoon boiling water; five eggs; three and 3/4 cups Imperial Sugar/Dixie Crystals Granulated Sugar; two teaspoons vanilla extract; 1/2 teaspoon almond extract; one and 2/3 cups all-purpose flour; 1/2 teaspoon salt; two cups coarsely chopped walnuts; 44 chocolate-covered peppermint patties Directions: Line the baking pan (13 inches by 9 inches) with foil. Melt a tablespoon of the butter and brush it over the soil, then set it to the side. Melt the chocolate and what’s left of the butter in the kitchen’s microwave. Stir the melted content until it is smooth and let it cool slightly. Next, dissolve the coffee granules in boiling water. Now, beat the eggs and sugar until they blend in a large bowl. Next beat in the vanilla, almond extract, coffee mixture and chocolate until a fluffy consistency is achieved. Gradually add a combination of flour and salt to the chocolate mixture. Then stir the walnuts. Take the prepared pan, and pour half the batter into it. Top that with a layer of peppermint patties, using pieces of the candies to fill in the gaps. Top

the patties with what’s left of the batter. Bake the concoction at 425 degrees for 23-27 minutes or until the top is set. Let it cool, and then use foil to remove the brownies from the pan. Let them chill for six hours or overnight before you cut them. -tasteofhome.com

Seasonal affective disorder or depression? Commentary by Andrew M. Miller, MD Although the holidays bring good cheer, they are followed by the dark, cold days of winter – a season that’s difficult for many. Physiologically, the body responds to the absence of light and colder temperatures by entering a dormant phase characterized by lower energy and a slowing of body systems. Some people also experience low mood during winter. This condition is referred to as seasonal affective disorder (SAD). SAD symptoms can usually be managed by spending more daylight time outdoors, exercising, eating well and getting enough sleep. However, it’s important to know that some SAD symptoms are similar to those of chronic clinical depression – a more serious condition requiring consultation with a doctor. Generally, chronic depression is characterized by a solid two weeks or more of low mood and/or any combination of these symptoms: • No interest in engaging in daily activities, low motivation • Poor concentration • Appetite loss • Poor sleep, restlessness • Thoughts of harm (see your doctor immediately) If suffering from one or more of these symptoms, visit your primary care doctor. If depression is suspected, your doctor can refer you to a psychiatrist for evaluation. The psychiatrist

will review your medical and genetic history and discuss lifestyle and behaviors to determine the cause of your depression. People sometimes experience depression when dealing with loss or personal challenges. Obesity and depression are often closely linked. In this case, the psychiatrist will ask about eating habits and consider this in recommending treatment. For most, the best way to treat chronic depression is to engage in therapy – clinically referred to as “cognitive behavioral therapy” – with a psychologist/behaviorist (therapist), generally after an initial diagnostic visit with a psychiatrist. Typically, you will be asked to keep a daily journal of mood and activities for eight to 12 weeks. The therapist will use the journal, along with information gathered in therapy sessions, to develop a treatment plan. In addition to recommending therapy for behavior and lifestyle changes, the psychiatrist may prescribe pharmaceuticals, such as antidepressants. When depression is properly diagnosed and treated, people can return to the quality of life they once enjoyed. Andrew M. Miller, MD, is a psychiatrist specializing in depression and other mental health issues. He is a guest columnist located at Indiana University Health Saxony Hospital, 13100 E. 136th St., Suite 1200, Fishers. Miller can be reached by calling the office at 678-3030.

Business

Fiscal cliff = tax-rate increases + new taxes Commentary by Kevin O’Connell There is major uncertainty over federal tax policy. Effective Jan. 1, the individual income tax rates, without further Congressional action, are scheduled to increase across the board. Consider: • The top marginal rate jumping from 35 percent to 39.6 percent. • The current 10-percent rate for low-income taxpayers will expire and be replaced by a 15-percent rate. • Even tax-rate relief afforded married taxpayers will expire. • The current top marginal tax rate on capital gains and dividends of 15 percent is scheduled to expire. The tax rate on dividends could increase by as much as 286 percent, from 15 percent to more than 43 percent. • Higher-income taxpayers also will be subject to limitations on itemized deductions and personal exemptions. • Millions of middle-income taxpayers will be liable for the alternative minimum tax because of expiration of the “AMT Patch.” Many other incentives for individuals will either disappear or be substantially reduced in the new year. While Congress may still act to prevent some or all of these tax increases, the likelihood of action with a lame-duck Congress diminishes each day. In addition to the tax-rate increases

on individual payers, there are a number of new taxes that kick in for 2013, including: The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, also known as ObamaCare, imposes an additional 0.9 percent Medicare tax on wages and self-employment income and 3.8 percent Medicare contribution tax. The 3.8 percent Medicare contribution tax will apply beginning in 2013 tax year for single individuals with a modified adjusting gross income more than $200,000 and married taxpayers with an MAGI more than $250,000. MAGI, for purposes of the Medicare contribution tax includes wages, salaries, tips, and other compensation, dividends and interest income, business and farm income, realized capital gains, and income from a variety of other passive activities and certain foreign earned income. For individuals liable for the tax, the amount of tax owed will be equal to 3.8 percent multiplied by the lesser of (1) net investment income or (2) the amount by which their MAGI exceeds the $200,000/$250,000 thresholds. Also, PPACA will limit contributions to flexible spending arrangements to $2,500 for the tax year. The good news: The State of Indiana income tax rates remain unchanged.

Creating new cabinet space in kitchen remodel Commentary by Larry Greene ORIGINAL KITCHEN: This house was built in 2001 in the Highland Springs subdivision in Brownsburg and they are the original owners. This was one of the first homes built in this neighborhood. WHY REMODEL: According to the owner, “We were never happy with the flow of the kitchen. The refrigerator was back in a corner and could only open half way because it was a French door style. The peninsula tended to trap people in the narrow kitchen when we were entertaining. We needed new flooring, and since we wanted to make changes to the kitchen, we decided to do the whole project. It was time to upgrade.” DESIGN PHASE: A half wall and column between the family room and kitchen was removed. “The narrowness of the kitchen was a great design challenge for us. It was very helpful to have a designer work with us to figure out how to open the flow. The final product ended up looking wider and having more space than we expected. We ended up with a design that tripled our cabinet

space by using every nook and cranny available. The designers even put a cabinet near the slidingglass door for the dog stuff.” CABINET DETAILS: The new cabinetry is maple stock cabinetry in off-white cashmere with a glazing highlight. The owner decided to add several roll out trays for easy access. FAVORITE FEATURES: The owner commented, “The honed granite is my favorite part of the new kitchen. It does not show the crumbs, dust or streaks when the sun comes in. It is very family friendly material. I also love our pantry door. The glass makes the hallway seem more open and less like just another closet. The size of the sink works very well for our family and having a water filter at the sink rather than in the fridge is a nice feature. My husband is really enjoying the new appliances, especially the in-door ice-maker.” Larry Greene is the owner of Case Design/Remodeling Indy, a fullservice design/build remodeling firm serving Boone, Hamilton, and Marion Counties.
