An Anderson woman was killed after two cars collided at the intersection of Olio Road and 146th Street in Noblesville around 10:43 a.m. on Dec. 17.

Sally Tharp, 69, was pronounced dead shortly after arrival at Indiana University Health Saxony Hospital in Fishers were she was taken after the accident. Another person, Mark Melvin, 57, of Arcadia, a passenger in the other vehicle involved, was sent to St. Vincent Medical Center Northeast Hospital in Fishers with non-life threatening injuries.

Noblesville Police Spokesman Lt. Bruce Barnes said a 1998 Ford Expedition driven by Micah Stafford, 25, of Elwood, crashed into the 2006 Chevrolet Uplander driven by Tharp.

“Evidence suggests that Stafford was traveling southbound on Olio Road and (Tharp) was traveling eastbound on 146th Street before the collision,” Barnes said, adding that accident reconstructionists from the Noblesville Police Dept. would be working to determine the cause of the crash.

Safe schools – Noblesville Schools respond to the Connecticut school tragedy and inform residents and parents what precautionary steps the district currently takes to make its buildings as safe as possible. For several years, our school corporation has worked closely with the Noblesville Police Dept. to develop the most comprehensive and effective school safety procedures possible. The district also provides resources to help families cope with tragedy.

Tailgating for Christmas – Do people actually tailgate for Christmas? Well, they may if they attend a bowl game that takes them away from home during the Christmas season.

If they’re visiting a warm weather climate, why wouldn’t they make their Christmas dinner a tailgate party? Joe Drozda writes this week about things to consider if you are still able to tailgate.

Grammar Guy – Columnist Jordan Fischer’s next grammar lesson explains the “at versus in” question raised by Current reader Carol Fridlin. Specifically citing the use of “born at” and “born in” in genealogy and journalism, Fischer will make sure you are using the correct word.

Big dividends – Promoting Hamilton County as a place to visit and play has yielded a great return on investment, according to the Hamilton County Convention and Visitors Bureau, which reported recently that its 2012 advertising campaign generated about 52,000 trips to Hamilton County which equaled an economic impact of $25 million and a return of 58 tourism dollars for every advertising dollar spent.

Philanthropy

Students showcase their giving spirit

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com As student body president, Noblesville High School senior Kelsey Sigman founded Live2Serve as a way to encourage her peers to give back to the Noblesville community. To assist families in need, Live2Serve started a donation drive that ranked as one of the most successful in NHS history.

Live2Serve collected coats, nonperishable food items and money, all of which was given to the Good Samaritan Network of Hamilton County.

Sigman Good Samaritan is comprised of 37 food and clothing pantries, more than 200 local churches, and numerous social service agencies and organizations in Hamilton County.

“In just two weeks, the organization received 659 coats and 9,500 canned food items,” Sigman said. “It’s such a blessing. I can’t believe the counts. We are very encouraged in the way it was so successful.”

Six elementary schools and four high school classes had a friendly competition to bring in the most winter jackets. Hinkle Creek and White elementary schools tied with 101 coats.

The senior class edged out the sophomore class within the high school.

The canned food drive pitted academic departments against one another. Sigman said teachers were particularly interested in winning because the top department’s educators (the social studies department that collected 4,348 items) were allowed to wear blue jeans for one week of school.

Sigman said her goal was to see the donation drive continue long after she graduated.

“It’s so important to start a tradition of giving back at the high school and lower levels,” she said. “I think we created a legacy. We have to make sure we do this next year.”

Sigman said approximately 100 students helped load the donations on Dec. 14 and 50 students assisted with organizing all the items on Dec. 15.

“The energy here was great,” she said follow-

ing the event at the Forest Park Lodge. “We created a cause that people felt passionate about.”

Fellow classmates are also passionate about what Sigman has started.

“The highlight of all of this was the realization that teenagers aren’t powerless under the will of adults. We may have more obstacles, but if there is determination, goodness will prevail and happiness can be made,” added NHS senior Dayton Jennings.

Upcoming Live2Serve activities include a Ping Pong for a Purpose tournament, a Live2Serve Awareness Basketball Game and a dance.

Humane Society launches holiday programs

By Nina Johnson • news@currentinwestfield.com The Humane Society for Hamilton County hopes to find permanent homes for their Featured 50 pets by Monday, and the community can help through two holiday programs.

The Homeward Bound for the Holidays program features 50 dogs and cats that have waited the longest for a home. The Humane Society’s website lists the Featured 50 with photos and personality profiles.

Manager of marketing and public relations Jennifer Judd explained that a volunteer writes a custom profile for every animal at the shelter.

“Having over 400 animals to write a profile for can be a challenge, so you try to find that one special thing about each cat or dog. One of our amazing volunteers, Rebecca Ebert, singlehandedly writes all the profiles, and we truly think they make a difference,” Judd said.

All Featured 50 pets adopted through the Homeward Bound program will come with a Noah’s Animal Hospital gift package. This package includes a free annual exam, booster vaccines and a dental cleaning. Featured 50 dogs also come with either an additional Paws and Play or Ultimate Canine training package.

The Holiday Sponsor program offers another option to help a shelter animal. Sponsors choose between three levels of support and two ways to dedicate their gift. Sponsors who dedicate their gift in the name of someone else will have a card

Adoption hours: Friday, Saturday, Sunday - Noon to 5 p.m. and Tuesday and Thursday - Noon to 7 p.m.

Cards feature professional photos of six different shelter animals. Sponsors can also choose to honor their family, a pet or the memory of those who have passed away. Sponsored names will be displayed on an ornament decorating a shelter animal’s cage.

Judd reports the community has made the programs successful.

“We’ve had a dog adopted that has been waiting since August 2011, and a cat that has been waiting for almost two years,” Judd said. She encouraged the public to visit the wide variety of animals and pointed out that purebred pets are among those available.

“About 40 percent of the cats and dogs in our care are purebred,” Judd said.

The shelter also welcomes basic supply donations such as liquid laundry soap, trash bags, bleach, and canned cat and dog food. A wish list of more specific items can be found at www. hamiltonhumane.com.

DIVORCE – WHAT TO EXPECT: NONCOMPLIANCE WITH THE DECREE OR COURT ORDER In most, if not all family law cases, the finalization of the divorce/case does not mean that all matters related to the case have concluded. Rather, the entry of a Court Order finalizing the matter is only a Court decision (or approval of an agreement) as to how all matters related to the case will be handled. Each Court Order contains provisions which must then be enforced in order to effectuate the decision. In many cases all provisions are carried out without issue. However, in the event either party fails to comply with the terms of the Court Order, mechanisms exist to gain an individual’s compliance.

The Court can intervene after a party alleges noncompliance by the opposing party. Such an action can be initiated by filing a Motion for Rule to Show Cause (commonly referred to as a “contempt” motion) notifying the Court of the issue. If the Court finds that the actions of one of the parties rises to the level of a contempt citation, a variety of penalties exist to punish the past actions and encourage future compliance with the Court Order. Parties would be well-advised to seek the advice of counsel in determining how to best proceed with the enforcement of a Court Order as the remedies vary based upon the issue presented as well as the nature of the non-compliance itself.

Enforcement of Child Support. Pursuant to Indiana Law, there are potential civil and criminal penalties for the nonpayment of child support; failure to make support payments can have serious ramifications. If the prosecutor chooses to go forward with criminal proceedings, the charges can rise to a Class C Felony, punishable by 2-8 years in prison conceivably, for the nonpayment of support in excess of a statutorily-defined amount. As the payee of a support order, you may request the Court exercise its power to hold the child support payor in contempt. This can result in a variety of potential orders, including that the contemptor pay the other parent’s attorney’s fees for any and all costs associated with maintaining or bringing the action; order that the contemptor perform community service; issue a warrant for the individual’s arrest for failure appear to show cause for the nonpayment of support; suspend the individual’s driver’s license; intercept tax refunds to

pay against past-due support; and attach interest to a delinquent support balance. In exceptional cases, the Court can incarcerate a non-payor of support; however, rarely are parties jailed when found to be in civil contempt. Frequently, this is counter-productive as that person stands to lose their employment and become further delinquent on his/her child support payments. Be aware, however, that the Court must consider whether the acts of the non-payor are willful; if the circumstances under which this person is not paying are beyond their control, the Court may not believe a contempt citation is proper.

Enforcement of Real Estate / Property Issues. If an unpaid obligation remains from a divorce, in lieu of seeking remedies as a contempt action, another option to explore would be to obtain a money judgment against an opposing party and enforcing it through regular collections proceedings. However, this change from divorce obligation to money judgment, generally, removes the contempt aspects and simply turns the debt into money with statutory interest and the ability to collect through wage and bank garnishments. Obviously, when the terms of the decree are not strictly financial, the option to convert to a money judgment is not appropriate. For example, if the parties agree to refinance a mortgage into one party’s name and that person subsequently does not qualify for the same, the third party (the creditor) cannot be ordered to comply with the Court Order. Therefore, the remedy requested will likely be to modify the terms of the Decree, and not to find the party in contempt. Additionally, issues exist when a party is unable to sell a home within a set timeframe due to the issues in the housing market, effectively frustrating the intentions of the divorce decree but not through the fault of either party such that a contempt award would be proper.

Awards

Sheriff’s office honors volunteers with national service honor news@currentinwestfield.com The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office announced it has awarded 21 reserve deputies with the President’s Volunteer Service Award, a national honor offered in recognition of volunteer service. Deputy Joe Faucett and Deputy Jeff Mallaber also received the Lifetime Achievement Award.

“These recipients of the President’s Volunteer Service Award are role models for all Americans,” Sheriff Mark Bowen said. “Each volunteer hour Faucett contributed makes a difference in improving the quality of life for others, and I encourage everyone to contribute to our community by volunteering.

Volunteers bring us closer together as families, as communiMallabear ties and as a nation, through their commitment.”

In his 2002 State of the Union Address, President George W. Bush created the USA Freedom Corps and called on every American to make a lifelong commitment to volunteer service.

“The President’s Volunteer Service Award recognizes individuals and families who have answered that call,” Bowen said. “America’s volunteers work to make our communities stronger and safer. As a certifying organization for the award program,

We know your car... inside and out!

HCSO is proud to be aligned with this prestigious volunteer award, and we are especially proud of our reserve deputies who have made volunteer service a central part of their lives.”

This is the eighth year that HCSO has participated in the Award program, which was established in 2003. As one of thousands of certifying organizations participating in the program, HCSO confers the award to recognize the outstanding achievements of its reserve deputies.

The Award is issued by the President’s Council on Service and Civic Participation, a group created

by President Bush to recognize the valuable contributions volunteers are making to our Nation.

Cover Story

This Christmas, Lisa Lin has a lot to rejoice about: her daughter, restaurant and health

By Mark Johnson • mark@youarecurrent.com

Lisa Lin has many reasons to keep that infectious smile on her face this holiday season.

The most important reason, though, came as the result of news that deeply impacted Lin and her family. Two and a half years ago, while living in Colorado, Lin was diagnosed with thyroid cancer.

“I had always had seasonal allergy problems,” Lin explained, “but this time, I was different. The allergy medicine was having no effect, and I was experiencing severely swollen glands. That was when the doctor informed me that this was not due to allergies.”

Following her diagnosis, Lin began a series of radiation treatments that set forth new challenges, including a separation from both her husband, Jet, and then 11-month-old daughter, Amber.

“For about a week after I finished my treatments, I was secluded from my family. It was very difficult for us,” she said. “Fortunately, my mother-in-law stepped in to help by taking care of our daughter. It was a big sacrifice to send my daughter to Taiwan.”

On Dec. 17, Lin received “the best Christmas present of all,” the return of her now three-and-a-half-year-old daughter from Taiwan. It is the first time the family has been together in two years.

“I’ve seen her on Skype, but we haven’t physically seen each other in two years,” she said. “She’s the only thing I wanted for Christmas. I’m still pinching myself.”

The Lins met Amber and her grandmother at the same airport they said goodbye years ago.

“I hugged Amber when she ran to me.

It was like her saying ‘You’re not forgotten, you’re my mom.’ Nothing’s worth that feeling,” she said. “When we left her at the terminal two years ago, we cried because we felt bad. Last night was the opposite. We cried tears of joy.”

During her convalescence, Lin and her husband decided to act on an idea that had previously been only a passing thought.

“It had always been in the back of our minds to open a restaurant,” she said. “But when I found out I had thyroid cancer, Jet and I just asked ourselves, ‘What is our dream?’ So, we decided to build our dream.

That is really what got us motivated. We diswww.currentnoblesville.com

covered that life really is too short to not put your foot down and move forward with your dream!

Lin rarely meets strangers as her smile and a warm, inviting handshake are her calling cards. It’s the perfect introduction to the Kobayashi Sushi & Asian Kitchen, which Lin manages and co-owns with her husband. That warmth and sincerity are indicative of Lin’s primary focus when it comes to the restaurant: the customers.

“I’ve just enjoyed meeting so many local regulars,” Lin said when asked what she enjoys most about her business. “We have so many people who eat here, three or four times a week. It’s part of their routine. The customers are the reason why you get up in the morning.”

She plans to stay healthy enough to continue serving her customers.

“Right now, I am cancer free,” said Lin, who regards her treatment scar as “just a

pretty necklace. I intend to stay healthy.”

In the year since beginning the pursuit of their dream, Lin remains optimistic, yet practical.

“We get the hiccups,” she laughed, referring to the ups and downs of running a business.

“We have good days and bad days. We are still learning.”

The restaurant, 2295 Greenfield Ave., celebrated its one-year anniversary on Dec. 7. In July, the Lins celebrated one year of living in Noblesville.

“We kind of stumbled onto Noblesville,” Lin said. “It’s so much like home. I grew up in Fort Wayne, so we wanted to be in a place that was just like home.”

Lin arrived in the United States as a refugee from Vietnam in 1979. She described herself and her family as “fresh out of the boat.”

“We didn’t know a lot. There was a lot to learn. It was a very big adjustment,” she said.

In the ensuing years, Lin became some-

Current in Noblesville

thing of a world traveler. Following high school graduation, she spent five years in Japan and a year in Colorado before returning to Fort Wayne. “I didn’t want to get too comfortable. I wanted to gain some experience, some work experience. That is why I travelled.”

So, what lead Lin and Jet to the restaurant business?

“Jet had worked for his aunt in Fort Wayne,” Lin said. “His aunt owned the first Asian restaurant in Fort Wayne, and he worked for her for 20 years. We had thought about opening a sushi bar in Fort Wayne, but there was just too much competition. That is when we decided on Noblesville.”

Lin still remains committed to their restaurant and its customers.

“I look forward to babying our one restaurant. I don’t want a franchise. I just want our one restaurant to grow. When you expand, you may not be able to maintain the same quality. We want to serve good food, and we want it to be unique. Having gone through what I went through, I feel like I’ve been given a second chance. So, I want to give something back.”

Opinion Where is regard for human life?

Heavy hearts It is our position that keeping children safe is a priority of our nation. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families who lost loved ones in Newtown, Conn.

The first questions that come to mind after such a shocking and horrific event are “how and why”? The search for answers has sparked passionate debates on gun control – specifically the accessibility to automatic weaponry, lacking mental health education and services, the muffling of organized religion in an effort to be politically correct and gratuitously violent movies and video games produced by the entertainment industry.

Like our schools, Sandy Hook Elementary practiced lockdown drills, tragically it was not enough.

Our country was intended to be a safe haven. This type of tragedy is not supposed to happen in America, specifically, not to innocent children and their teachers at school.

It’s time for a national dialogue on all the aforementioned issues.

Must our schools become military fortresses with bulletproof windows and barbed wire fences to shield evil? While changes must take place, we cannot count on a government-legislated panacea. Love, compassion, common sense, morality and civility cannot be bottled or legislated. In the memory of these little angels, we must succeed in the latter.

Bored board

Commentary by Terry Anker

For many of us, there seemingly is not a week that goes by that doesn’t involve a committee, board or other communal meeting. Designed to share information, make informed decisions, establish responsibilities and goals, these gatherings bring value to the most humble church basement and the loftiest corporate executive suite. In my own life, I have spent more than an hour or two sitting around the table seeking collaboration and camaraderie to advance my community, my faith and my business. Yet, for all their importance, some of these meetings are dreaded like lines at amusement parks – long and perhaps necessary but rarely commensurate with the minutes consumed by the actual ride.

In fact, the idea for this column was presented by a reader who’d had her fill of pointless meetings meandering aimlessly, all-the-while wasting the precious time of those that had gathered for the forum. She, it seems, longs for the structure and protocol

of a formal process to move the indispensable work of the boardroom forward in the most efficient and respectful way. But, in a world where jeans have become more common than business suits, is there a place for formality, even in the conference room?

Meetings, like any journey from being in one place and headed to another, require some sense of direction. If the goal is to advance a cause or move a company, the agenda acts as the map.

The minutes are the perfunctory reminders of things that have been done in preparation for today’s trip. The reports inform the group that progress (or regress) is being made and that the journey is, in fact, underway as promised. But mostly, isn’t organization about showing respect for the other people in the room? Innovation needn’t be stymied by structure.

We hesitated to interrupt your enjoyment of the holiday season with this, but it needs to be written: We believe the recent horrific tragedy in Newtown, Conn., is as much about the breakdown of the American value system as anything.

Our mainstream-media brethren will continue to overanalyze the ownership of and the use of guns as the culprit in this shocking event.

We already have watched - and will continue to watch for weeks - experts speaking of all the possible reasons; they will pontificate until we are more traumatized. President Barack Obama, who was genuinely and deeply touched by the killings, pointed to a debate that he said should take politics out of it. We know it’s about guns, and guns were used to commit this unconscionable, despicable act. The deeper issue? Try this: As a nation, we have lost all respect and regard for human life, and until our values are reversed in that respect, we can expect more horrendous tragedies as was experienced in Newtown. We have created in the last 40 years a culture based on our idolization and emulation of much of what Hollywood produces; it’s a constant contributing factor to our lost moral soul as a nation. Need we say more? Our thoughts and prayers go to the victims and the survivors of this tragic occurrence.

••• Lawmakers in Long Island, N.Y., are about to make yet another intrusion on personal liberty.

This time, overly caffeinated beverages consumed by teenagers are in the crosshairs. Yes, the drinks amp up one’s heart, and no, there is no therapeutic effect when consuming them, but this is about personal choice and education at home. Face it; a six-pack of certain caffeinated sodas will achieve the same result. Stop reaching, government!

Opinion

A quiet moment Commentary by Danielle Wilson My husband, Doo, had surgery last week, and though it was a minor outpatient procedure, sitting in the waiting room gave me precious time to reflect on the past year.

Not a ton of time, mind you, as I needed to catch up on the celebrity scene (the Royals, the Cruises, the Honey-Boo-Boos), the latest fashion trends (I can rock a Russian-inspired hat) and work stuff (a teacher’s day is never done.)

Through my extraordinary people-whispering skills, I discovered the receptionist’s son was in the same math class as my daughter and so wasted a good half hour discussing the pros and cons of middle school.

But, after I’d settled in, popped a Diet Coke and had nothing more to do than watch the clock, the fact that Doo was under the knife rattled me a bit. What if something went wrong?

People die on the operating table all the time; not generally 40-year old men in for what’s typically a pediatric procedure (ear drum repair and tubes for good measure.) But still, I don’t want to be a single parent! And how do parents of sick children handle this kind of stress day in and day out? I could live without Doo, but I don’t think I’d make it if something happened to one of my kids.

So I guess the point of this column is to encourage you to take a moment during this busy

holiday season and focus on what’s important in life. Family, good health and employment.

I’d have rather not spent my Friday in a generic lobby area drinking stale coffee with powdered creamer, but the opportunity to just stop, to step away from the demands of work, motherhood and marriage (and particularly from puppy ownership) and reflect on what’s good in my life was truly a gift. Doo and the kids are healthy, I have a job that I love, and I am surrounded by friends and family who, for the most part, tolerate me. All in all, 2012 was a very good year for the Wilsons.

Did I pay for those few precious hours? Of course! A weekend spent nursing a hopped-up spouse who can’t hear anything while trying to shuttle kids to theater rehearsals, swim meets and soccer games made me not only bitter and jealous (at least Doo had Vicodin!) but physically and emotionally exhausted. I was also totally unprepared for my classes come Monday morning.

But, having the time to appreciate all that is good in my life was the perfect way to end the year. So, here’s wishing you a quiet moment over the next few weeks, and many more in 2013. Peace out.

Ringing in the New Year, safely

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Celebrating doesn’t have to mean drinking or potentially dangerous situations, and Hamilton County leaders are providing another safe opportunity to celebrate New Year’s Eve at the Hamilton County 4-H Grounds, 2003 Pleasant St., Noblesville.

“It’s a tremendous benefit for the community to have folks volunteer their time to provide options,” said Lt. Bruce Barnes of the Noblesville Police Dept. “There’s a lot of different things. What they’re doing is such a tremendous benefit.”

More than 200 people of all ages attended last year’s inaugural event and free alternative celebration. Organizers hope to have 250 to 300 people this year.

“It easily could have been more because we went through a lot of food,” event coordinator Jim Wafford of Logan Street Signs & Banners in Noblesville said.

Wafford is working closely with George Kristo, the executive director of the Hamilton County Council Wafford on Alcohol and Other Drugs, to coordinate the event.

Kristo and his late wife, Linda, have hosted the alternative party in previous years.

“I’m very flattered and honored to have George ask me to be a part and take the lead in the tradition he and his wife began,” Wafford said.

Games and activities begin at 8 p.m. with the kitchen starting to serve food at 8:15 p.m. The event will include Bingo, board games, cornhole, mini basketball shootout and, of course, ping pong. Wafford bought a second table because of its popularity last year.

“It was such a hit people were standing in line,” he said. “We want to put on a good time.”

Wafford said the event would also feature two classic movies: “Little Princess” with Shirley Temple at 7:30 p.m. and “Fancy Pants” with Bob Hope and Lucille Ball at 9:30 p.m. At midnight, a live streaming of New York City’s Times Square will help count down the seconds to 2013.

Local DJ, Kevin Friend “DJ Doctor Toast,” has volunteered his services to play music throughout the event.

✴ New Year’s Eve Celebration at Chateau Thomas Winery • Ring in the New Year with music from 8:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. as Jon Barnard and LJ Mechem play Classic Top 40’s Hits.

Taking a ride out to Reynolds Farm Equipment, Inc., 1501 Reynolds Dr., to check out its free Christmas lights display is low maintenance. The show will be special for family from out of town.

“We want this to be more family-oriented, broader. To show younger people there is a way to celebrate New Year’s without getting drunk,” Wafford said. “There are all kinds of food: pizza, hot dogs, even popcorn. People should have a fun time.”

Attendees can come and go as they please, but Wafford reminds parents that this is not a babysitting service.

“All kids under 12 need to be with an adult. The idea is you need to be there with your family,” he said, adding that a Noblesville police officer will be in attendance.

“It’s really fun to see the families come in as a family and play Monopoly or chess, something that takes time,” said Wafford. “Everyone should start the New Year together and that’s what we are all about.”

The event is free, but Wafford said he was struggling to find volunteers and door prizes for various games.

“I only have half of what we need,” he said.

Those interested in contributing or volunteering can call Wafford at 773-7200.

Premium Rush • PG-13, 91 minutes Commentary by Chris Lloyd A zippy, looper thrill ride of a movie, “Premium Rush” overcomes its paper-thin premise to deliver an enjoyable and well-crafted piece of entertainment.

The plot is silly to the point of absurdity: A maverick bike messenger named Wilee (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is pursed all over New York City by a corrupt detective (Michael Shannon) who’s after the documents he’s transporting across town. Wilee may have a low-paying, no-respect job, but he takes it seriously and refuses to give in, even as the stakes are steadily ratcheted up into deadly territory.

“Once it goes in the bag, it stays in the bag,” is his credo.

Director David Koepp, who also wrote the

screenplay with John Kamps, shows a flair for action sequences as the bicycles weave perilously in and out of traffic that’s constantly on the move.

One of the coolest bits is Wilee’s ability to analyze a situation and plot different outcomes on the fly. He’s like the Rain Man of traffic patterns.

“Premium Rush” may not be a great film, but it goes to show that filmmakers can approach even the lightest material with devotion and come out ahead of the pack.

Removing walls to increase kitchen size Commentary by Larry Greene ORIGINAL KITCHEN: This house is located on the west side of Carmel and was built by the current homeowners in 1992.

WHY REMODEL: According to the owner, “It was not convenient to use the kitchen, especially when we entertained. There were many bottleneck areas. Everyone would get in my way.

If you opened the oven or refrigerator, no one could get in to the kitchen. When we originally built the kitchen, I thought the compactness would be convenient because everything would be easily accessible. But, I was not thinking about how the kitchen flowed.”

DECORATIVE LIGHTING: “I found the lights over the island online by using Houzz.com.

They are designed by Louise Campbell, winner of the prestigious gold International Forum Design Award in 2005.”

ISLAND DESIGN: The owner commented, “I love the island and the space. The placement of the appliances is very convenient, with everything being one step away. The prep sink is very handy. Even though I have a bigger kitchen, it is more user-friendly.”

INSET CABINETS: The new perimeter cabinetry is maple semi-custom in polar white. The island and wet bar area includes cherry semicustom cabinetry with a dark espresso stain.

According to the owner, “The full-inset cabinets have very clean lines, and the hardware makes a statement. I have always wanted a warming drawer, and we use it a lot. I am learning how to use the steam range properly.”

FAVORITE FEATURES: The owner commented, “The new large island suits the flow of the kitchen better. Now there are many ways to get around. The black granite countertops are a favorite also. I shopped all over Indy to see all of my granite options. I knew I would know what I wanted when I saw it. I like the reflection it gives off without being overwhelmingly shiny.

The island granite is great because you cannot see the water spots and crumbs.”
