Downtown Westfield Association increases 2013 goals

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Whether it was major community events, façade improvements or businesses relocating, the Downtown Westfield Association was busy in 2012 and Director Anne Poynter is ready to continue the momentum into the New Year.

Poynter said the organization saw an increase in attendance at all of its major community events – Farmers Market, Westfield Rocks the Fourth, Grand Junction Funktion and Westfield in Lights.

“All were very successful,” she said.

The organization is working to continue board recruitment and hosts merchant meetings every other month, she added. DWA also has improved its marketing efforts by creating a new logo and online presence with facebook and its Web site.

Beautifying Westfield was also a goal in 2012. Poynter said a Westfield Cultural Task Group was being developed with the hopes of starting a Westfield arts council. She added that seven properties participated in the Façade Improvement Grant Program.

“The façade grant tremendously improved downtown,” she said.

Economic development was also a major focus in 2012. DWA teamed with local realtors and residents to create Grand Junction Properties Development to highlight areas available to businesses around downtown and provide information about the city.

The organization also worked with businesses on leasing cityowned buildings. In exchange for rent, owners use their own funds to update and improve the building’s interior. Poynter said the city’s old laundry mat was now home to four new businesses.

“It sat vacant for more than three years,” she said.

DWA had a goal of bringing five new businesses to downtown this year – 13 were added, including The Blank Space, Such Great Heights, Imagine Church, Two The Moon Antiques, Freeman Custom Homes, Adagio Dance Company, Cinderella’s Closet, Skin Fix, Everyday Artisan, Erika’s Place, Craze Boutique, Carpet Express Flooring and Wandering Peacock.

For 2013, Poynter said the organization’s goals were board and committee development and creating alternative funding sources such as grants and small event development in addition to DWA’s major events.

Library

Major library construction coming during summer

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Change will be as much a part of the Westfield Washington Public Library in 2013 as its books, programs and resources when site work begins on the building’s 7,000-square-foot expansion and renovation in early spring.

Library Director Sheryl Sollars said the construction was expected to be completed by November, but the library will undergo several changes before the work is completed.

Sollars “It’s very exciting,” she said. “We can’t wait for that day to put the shovel in the ground.”

Some of the noticeable temporary changes coming include a new entrance and circulation desk as the space directly inside the main entrance is gutted.

“We’ll move some of our offices into the addition while we renovate the front part,” Sollars said. “We’re thinking of how we are phasing it.”

Sollars said the $2-million facility renovation would include replacing carpets and repairing the bathrooms, which currently have tiles coming off the walls. Space reallocation will provide greater efficiency by creating one desk for check out.

New Hours

The Westfield Washington Public Library is expanding its hours this year. Director Sheryl Sollars said the library would be open from 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday beginning in March. Sollars said several patrons were forced to visit other libraries because Westfield’s was closed that day.

“That’s a big deal,” she said. “We wanted to add back some hours and a lot of residents want to use the library on Sunday.”

WWPl is currently open 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Saturday.

“One desk is more efficient and saves taxpayers’ money,” Sollars said.

The project also includes a designated computer lab/business center and study rooms that will provide meeting areas for four to six people with one room capable of holding eight to 10 people. The new teen area will also have study rooms.

Sollars said one of the biggest needs of the library would be addressed by the construction.

A 1,000-square-foot community room will be built in the lower area of the library. The space, which has a capacity of 125 people and includes

a kitchen, will provide an area for programming and for community organizations to meet, Sollars said.

“Our programming continues to increase in attendance and we have not added any programming space since 1994,” Sollars said. “Actually, we have decreased the amount of space due to the elimination of the meeting room planned during that expansion.”

Despite all the changes, Sollars believes the construction will not affect patrons or cause the library to close.

“That’s our plan,” she said.

At $0.0439, the library is the third smallest amount of the Westfield tax rate – behind solid waste, which is $0.00320, and township at $0.00830. Library Board President Mike Thomas said the $2-million bond would not raise the current tax rate, only prolong it until 2022. Before any ground is moved, Thomas said the library was already saving the taxpayer some money.

“Bonds sold at half the predicted interest rate. It was projected to be 3 percent and sold at 1.7 percent,” he said. “That’s a direct savings of $250,000 over projected costs. You always assume high for interest rates but this is very good.”

Education

District to better prepare students, work on new stadium Commentary by Mark Keen What’s ahead in 2013?

Looking forward to the next 12 months, Westfield Washington Schools is excited about accomplishing great things for our students and our community.

College and Career Readiness Our College and Career Readiness initiatives are paying off. Westfield High School graduates are entering college and the workforce prepared to succeed. We want to continue increasing the number of college credits earned by our graduates while increasing the technical offerings for our students pursuing a technical career.

Our focus is expanding CCR in grades K-12, informing students and parents at all levels of the multitude of options available. In February, parents of students in grades K-6 will be invited to Planning, Preparing, Paying: College Readiness Advice for Parents.

State Waiver for Performance Qualified Schools WWS is joining other high performing school districts to lobby the general assembly for a waiver from the Indiana Department of Education on mandated requirements. The waiver would be for performance qualified schools that would allow flexibility for each district to focus on what fits best rather than the one size fits all approach.

On-line Learning Options The district is exploring more on-line options

for students. Some courses lend themselves to on-line delivery and our students are geared to learn this way. Options include courses where students can be in class on some days and online on others. More on-line delivery could reduce the need for future construction and also reduce operational costs.

Community Stadium WHS has launched a capital campaign, Build the Rock, with the goal of raising funds to build a community stadium.

The new field would not just be used for school games; it would be a community field and enhance community development.

The capital campaign is a fiscally responsible approach to addressing current safety, supervision and capacity concerns without raising the tax rate while being proactive since the current stadium sits on a prime piece of real estate.

Funds for completing the stadium would not come from increasing or maintaining the local tax rate. Funds on hand would take care of the initial work and a combination of fundraising and the sale of ground would complete the work along with providing a major step to significantly reduce our tax rate.

Mark Keen is the superintendent of Westfield Washington Schools.

Keen also shares his thoughts on his superintendent’s blog, blogs. wws.k12.in.us/keenm/. He can be reached at keenm@wws.k12.in.us.

Cover Story Construction and Grand Park are big components of the city’s future in 2013

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Construction crews and dump trucks will be a common sight in Westfield this year. Mayor Andy Cook explained that the neon vests and hardhats would not strictly be on U.S. 31 as several projects throughout the city were slated to begin.

“We’ve been planning for several years, and the next three years are years of implementation and the reality of all of these projects we talked about,” he said.

What projects should residents keep an eye on?

Construction work being done at Grand Park.

Lighting, artificial turf, seedGRAND PARK ing and sodding will be the next major steps in preparing Grand Park to become inhabited by sporting teams.

“By the end of summer, the 15 artificial turf fields should all be installed,” Cook said. “By the fall, they can be played on if the surrounding natural grass area is well enough along.”

Of the project’s 30 soccer fields, Cook said 18 would be Bermuda grass and 12 would be Kentucky bluegrass. The major difference between the two is the time it takes to properly grow.

Cook said the Kentucky bluegrass required more than a year to mature while the Bermuda grass needed just months.

“There should be some field play in the fall,” he said.

While some of the fields will be ready, the official Grand Park opening will take place in mid-spring of 2014. Cook said work would be ongoing this year at the complex to fields, the stadium and indoor facilities.

“It’s very exciting. There is a possibility of a YMCA coming there,” he said.

The city will begin marketing of naming rights and sponsorships of the complex in March, Cook said.

Although not a city project, the Day family and Henke Development Group will begin work on Grand Park Village this year. Located just south of Grand Park, the 220-acre project will include a 20-acre lake, boardwalk, trails, restaurants, retail stores, offices, medical buildings, multi-family housing, hotels and entertainment options.

This type of private-sector investment is exactly why the city is building Grand Park and Grand Junction, Cook said.

“The private sector attracts businesses that would not otherwise be here in Westfield,” he said. “If the city builds an amenity, the private sector will build around it.”

Cook said the city needed $200 million of commercial investment in the next 10 years to make Grand Park pay off.

“The estimated investment in Grand Park Village is $230 million in that project alone,” he said.

www.currentinwestfield.com

In February, the plaza plan will be 50-percent developed, which means the city can Grand Junction begin to acquire all the necessary, and numerous, permits. Cook said the development was

purposely planned for the floodplain to take advantage of the existing creeks. For the past year, the city has been completing the regional storm water plan for downtown.

“It’s pretty expensive,” he said.

Cook explained that the city had the option of storing storm water under parking lots or building retention ponds downtown, but he explained that retention ponds were less desirable because Grand Junction artist rendering they took away from taxable land.

Instead, the city will be creating ponds west of downtown that will be built when INDOT construction crews need dirt to build the overpasses – thus lowering the overall cost of the project.

“They know where to get very cheap dirt,” he joked. “These will be inexpensive ponds.”

Starting this month, the Grand Junction Task Force Group will begin the final design of the plaza with engineers and designers.

“They’ll battle over the final specifications and plans for the project,” Cook said. “Then we can move on to construction in the next couple of years.”

Before the Grand Junction project can begin, Cook said the city must buy 27 individual parcels of land.

“We’ve purchased four or five pieces and demolished the first piece of downtown,” he said.

U.S. 31 and 161st Street plans

Utility Transfer Currently, the pending transfer of Westfield’s water and wastewater assets to Citizens Energy Group for $91 million is in the hands of the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission for its approval.

“We’re totally at their will,” Cook said, adding that the lengthy process could take nine to 12 months.

The city is consulting with financial people to determine how the funds can best be used by the city. The city will use half ($45 million) to pay off its water utility debt. The remaining amount will be used to assist Westfield’s transition into a growing city with roundabouts, trails and other needs, Cook said.

“We’re working with the council on infrastructure projects,” he said.

U.S. 31 at 151st Street plans

The construction planned for U.S. 31 in 2013 is 146th Street north to 169th Street. The next phase of construcU.S. 31 tion went out to bid last week – “below engineer estimates,” Cook said. The other two phases of this year’s project will be bid in March and August. This year’s plans call for an overpass at 161st Street and interchanges at 151st and 161st streets.

“Construction begins this summer,” he said. “They’ll be tearing down homes all winter.”

U.S. 31 construction has not been a topic of controversy from residents or the business community.

“146th Street and Greyhound Pass went much smoother for businesses than what they anticipated,” Cook said. “We have not had complaints on traffic – nothing like I thought we might have. It’s going to get a little messier.”

Cook said the U.S. 31-Ind. 32 interchange will be developed this year and the Major Moves construction will be finished in Westfield in mid-2015.

Westfield owns 80 acres along River Road in Noblesville.

Cook said the area, which includes city wells, is being Public Safety training developed into a public safety training site where police and fire crews from across the county can train together. It also includes a state-of-the-art firing range, and the first building there has a couple private sector businesses as paying customers, including the Department of Defense.

VIEWS

Opinion

A toast!

It is our position that 2012 will long be remembered as a significant year in the life of our community. We have seen the completion or advancement of dozens of actions, large and small, with impact unlikely to be fully realized until generations to come. US 31 construction began in earnest – after years of false-starts and empty promises, we are seeing signs that one of our most important arteries will lurch forward in a more efficient and safe way. Grand Park is rising and forming a new heart where only corn once grew. While still much is to be done, the Palladium has matured from start-up to institution. The full effect of the opening of 146th Street has blazed a route across the land bringing retail and family to Carmel, Noblesville, Fishers and Westfield – soon to Zionsville.

And, Current has grown too. With a simple desire to make the communities we serve healthier, wealthier and wiser, this upstart hometown edition has managed to compete against giant corporations from far-away places. Maybe it is because while we don’t think it is perfect, we believe in our hometown. And, we are proud of the progress we’ve made. Cheers to a prosperous 2013!

Fiscal cliff: More blame on GOP

Extreme balance

Commentary by Terry Anker

Instinct naturally tells us that more is better.

If we have one dollar, wouldn’t two be better? If we can help one person in need, shouldn’t we push the limit to extend to supporting two, or three, or more? Even as many of us are feeling the hangover brought on by holiday spending, eating and revelry, we can’t shake the instinct that there is never too much. We transition from newscasters telling us how to prepare boundless, calorie-laden repast to those same folks admonishing us to get in shape and “lose those holiday pounds.” The sale of extreme workout DVD’s will skyrocket in the coming weeks.

Certainly, we live a life of conflicting priorities. It is wonderful, even necessary, to gather with family and enjoy abundance by the hearth. And, it is wonderful, even necessary, to maintain an ideal weight to preserve and strengthen our bodies. But how do we find the balance between the two? Is moderation lost in a world of competitive priorities?

Imagine this example. The cost of college edu-

cation, especially if on-going or extended, often drives graduates out of the market place rather than into it. Because universities have not kept costs in line with inflation, are kids “overbuilding” their skills for the market? If the market demand for traditional degrees is far exceeded by the quantity of new grads, is the effect a reduction in value (even as tuition and debt to the student and her family is ballooning)?

Certainly education is critically important, like housing, food and family. But isn’t creating a standard of university degree production that attempts to build an absolute egalitarian distribution where everyone pursues the same kind of training simply trapping kids, their families and our government into a thoughtless and costly spiral? If something is good, doesn’t it deserve to be unconstrained?

By the time you read this, we all could be careening off the fiscal cliff, which would be a shame. The inability of President Barack Obama and U.S. Rep. John Boehner (R-Ohio), the speaker of the House of Representatives, to get together on a smart resolution (unless it happened after we went off to an early press run as a result of the holiday) is pathetic. While there had been some give and take from both sides, we view the Republican Party as the more dominant culprit here. A majority in the House guarantees absolutely nothing for the GOP and its Tea Party members. We view their actions as divisive and obstructionist. Our take: This hasn’t been about true negotiating – which should have been the case all along – but more about digging in heels and casting blame. It’s really quite sad that the two sides couldn’t come up with a solution that makes sense. In the end, the real and appropriate blame falls squarely on the shoulders of the American voters, for they are the ones who put these intractable, so-called leaders in the position to drive all of us over the edge. When will the voting public learn?

Opinion

Avoiding the flu

Commentary by Danielle Wilson The flu has hit our house, and hit it hard. I left for work this morning with victims Two and Three moaning on the couch running temperatures of 102 and 103, feebly sipping juice boxes for comfort. Patient Zero has made a full recovery, but I'm certain our remaining daughter will succumb shortly, followed, inevitably, by my Husband, Doo. Will I get it too? After all, this is the first year in more than 10 that I did not get vaccinated. The only thing keeping the worry at bay is knowing that Doo has to deal with it all, not I! Is that bad? Is it wrong that I took a tiny bit of joy literally washing my hands clean of the whole germy affair? Are the fates ready to punish me with the flu-to-end-all-flus because I'd rather spend time at the office? Perhaps, but I like control. I need control. At work, everything is neat and orderly, and I'm only in charge of myself. This is so not the case at our house, especially when said house has become an infirmary. Any mom can attest to this fact: Staying at home with healthy kids is tough, but throw in worrisome coughing, running noses, and multiple wake-up calls throughout the night, and the days become downright torturous. Now that Doo works from home, he's the one who

must deal with the hell of flu season, though he has a much better sense of humor about it than I ever did. His latest email reads <Captain's Log: 2012> The infected are everywhere! I have attempted to barricade myself in my living quarters but my need for sustenance continually drives me to the commissary where I am forced to engage the zombie hordes. Eyes red and puffy, pale chalky skin, and a blank stare that haunts my dreams.

A subtle but continuous moan escaping their lips ‘daaaaaadddd…. DAAADDDD.’ There is nowhere left to run … no one left to call … and they just keep coming!

So yes, while I felt sorry for my sick kiddos this morning, I was elated that I didn't have to stay and care for them. While I do experience a twinge of guilt when my youngest cries out, delirious with fever, "You weren't here to hug me!", I can honestly say I'm a better mom now that I'm able to part with some of my motherhood duties. I'll gladly suffer the flu for that opportunity. Peace out.

VIEWS Readers' Views HCV thanks those that supported the organization Editor, The Hamilton County Veterans, a 501c notfor-profit organization, would like to thank all in the County that helped promote our programs during 2012 in support of all veterans and those on active duty. We were able to once again send care packages overseas and to deliver items needed by our brothers and sisters now in the VA Hospital. Our goal for 2013 is to raise enough money, before Memorial Day, to add two new memorial stones to the Hamilton County Veteran Memorial located in Noblesville’s Crown Land Cemetery. The stones will have the names of our heroes from Hamilton County that were killed in action during the current Persian Gulf War and those killed in World War I. Any service club, veteran organization or business, individual

or family wishing to make a donation should send their donation to HCV - Post office Box 503, Noblesville, IN 46061.

All World War II veterans are urged to contact Wayne Long, Hamilton County Veteran Service Office and HCV treasurer, to get on our list for the upcoming honor flight to Washington, D.C. this April. This is a free one-day excursion to Washington to see their War Memorial, Arlington Cemetery and many other sites.

Those interested should call 776-9610 to recieve an application.

All honorably discharged veterans are welcome to join the HCV. Annual dues are $15 and we meet at 7 p.m. the forth Monday at the Noblesville East Public Library.

Ron Wilson, HCV President

Regard for human life

Wilson delivers entertaining column

Editor, I would be curious to hear you elaborate on how “As a nation, we have lost all respect and regard for human life.” Our moral souls may be in decline, but blaming Hollywood is a cop-out. Parents should be gatekeepers to their children’s consumption of TV, the internet, video games, etc. All of this entertainment is not forced on anyone; parents choose to expose their children to inappropriate content because they either lack the courage to tell their children “no” or fear having their children think they aren’t cool.

Michael Johnson, 46077

Editor, Finally, after a few years of skimming the Danielle Wilson column for common-sensical, values-centric statements, I’m pleased to report that in the Dec. 25 issue of the Current in Westfield, Ms. Wilson has finally delivered an article worthy of the time to read it.

I hope Doo’s surgery went well and thank you, Ms. Wilson, for the heartfelt, family-values commentary.

Season opens with killer comedy

By Patricia Rettig • news@currentinwestfield.com

Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre opens its 2013 season with the famous killer comedy, “Arsenic & OldLace.” The classic comedy kicks off the theatre’s year-long 40th Anniversary celebration, and is on stage now through Feb. 3.

Brewster sisters Martha andAbby are charming and innocent ladies who have taken it upon themselves to help lonely men. With a little arsenic, strychnine and just a pinch of cyanide in a glass of homemade elderberry wine, their guests are unburdened of their unhappy lives.

Quietly the bodies of these socially and religiously “acceptable” roomers begin to populate their cellar, with the unwitting assistance of their loony brother Teddy, who thinks he is Theodore Roosevelt digging locks for the Panama Canal.

Their charity continues smoothly until being discovered by their nephew, Mortimer. A theatre critic who is preparing to marry, Mortimer is shocked to learn the truth – and he only becomes more frantic when his maniacal uncle Jonathan makes a surprise visit!

Made popular by the 1941 Frank Capra film starring Cary Grant, “Arsenic & OldLace” proves things are not always what they seem.

David Schmittou, last seen at Beef & Boards as Cornelius Hackl in “Hello, Dolly!,” returns in the role of Mortimer. Karen Pappas, popular with Beef & Boards audiences from her portrayal of the hilarious Mavis in the Church Basement Ladies series, plays Abby Brewster, while newcomer Gerri Weagraff plays her sister, Martha. Several more Beef & Boards favorites round out the cast with Douglas E. Stark in the role of loony Teddy Brewster, Jeff Stockberger as the sinister Jonathan Brewster andEddie Curry as Jonathan’s sidekick, Dr. Einstein. Another newcomer, Lisa Ermel plays the role of Mortimer’s fiancée, Elaine Harper.

There are 37 performances of “Arsenic & OldLace” scheduled in the intimate setting provided by Beef & Boards. Tickets range from $37.50 to $62.50 and include Chef Odell Ward’s dinner buffet, fruit and salad bar, and select drinks. Discounts are available for children and groups of 20 or more. Parking is free. For reservations, call the box office at 872-

‘Looper’ • R, 119 minutes Commentary by Chris Lloyd Ambitious but not entirely successful, “Looper” is much more than your standard science fiction action flick.

Writer/director Rian Johnson (“Brick”) has crafted a film that’s less concerned with the mechanics of time travel than with the ramifications it has on its characters. It also has one of the boldest casting movies of the year, with Bruce Willis and Joseph Gordon-Levitt playing the same man separated by 30 years in age.

Joe is an assassin, or “looper,” living in Kansas City circa 2044. The loopers kill victims sent back in time by a crime syndicate that runs everything in the future. Their careers are prosperous but brief – retirement comes when the victim who shows up to be assassinated is actually

themselves, three decades into the future.

Unfortunately for young Joe, old Joe has apparently been preparing carefully for this day and manages to escape. This sets off a nasty temporal snafu, as well as pitting the two of them against each other and the entire looper operation.

“Looper” is bursting with originality, but the movie seems to spin sidewise from itself and lose focus. Eventually it all gets tied up in a satisfying way, even if the journey there isn’t always a smooth one.

Women’s Health Alliance joins St.Vincent Carmel Hospital news@currentinwestfield.com Women’s Health Alliance, a seven-physician obstetrics and gynecology practice, has moved to St.Vincent Carmel Hospital. The physicians are part of the St.Vincent Carmel Hospital’s medical staff and the greater St.Vincent Health entity. Before joining St.Vincent Carmel Hospital, WHA practiced at Indiana University Health North Hospital.

“At St.Vincent Carmel Hospital, our goal is to provide area residents with the options and the resources for the highest level of care,” Michael D. Chittenden, president of St.Vincent Carmel Hospital, said. “We have always had great physicians supporting the needs of our community and that’s why we are delighted to welcome WHA where we can continually expand our services to our female patients.”

The board certified obstetricians and gynecologists joining St.Vincent Carmel Hospital are doctors Beki Denman, Charles R. Echt, Stefanie A. Flora, Catherine Hilliker, Julie A. Hirsch, Amy L. Moon and Sara H. Murphy.

WHA has been serving patients in the Indianapolis area for 29 years. The physicians in Stealthy fatigue cause – A urinary tract infection can be to blame for sleepiness. Sometimes, the obvious symptoms don’t manifest and sluggishness is the only indicator. – www.webmd.com

obstetrics at WHA have expertise in preterm labor or preterm premature rupture of membranes; gestational diabetes; gestational hypertension; preeclampsia; breech birth; previous shoulder dystocia (shoulder(s) of the baby are not entering the pelvis during the birth as they should); vaginal births after cesarean; multifetal gestation; intrauterine growth restriction (baby growing poorly during pregnancy); oligiohydramnios, polyhydramnios (too little or too much amniotic fluid); advanced maternal age (mother older than 35 years at delivery); grand multiparity (more than five pregnancies); maternal/fetal medical and surgical conditions often in collaboration with other specialists.

WHA physicians in gynecology can perform laparoscopic and robotic surgeries for endometriosis, adhesions, fibroids and ovarian cysts. The physicians can also address pelvic floor disorders, perimenopause and menopause.

St.Vincent Carmel Hospital recently completed a 28,000-square-foot renovation of the rooms and amenities in the 124-bed maternity program. The WHA office is located at 13400 N. Meridian St., Suite 300, Carmel, IN 46032.

DOUGH

Business

You can’t afford not to have renter’s insurance Commentary by Jamie Ianigro Question from Christina A. from Carmel: I just graduated in December and am fortunate to have found a job that is going to allow me to move out of my family home. Is renter’s insurance something that I really need?

Response from Jamie Ianigro: Congratulations on the new job! Now it’s time to protect that paycheck with a renter’s insurance policy.

People like to make many excuses about why they neglect to purchase a renter’s insurance policy. “I cant’ afford it.” “I don’t have enough stuff to insure.” “Nothing is going to happen to my stuff.” The liability protection alone is really enough reason to buy, but let’s break it down.

The first thing you need to know about renter’s insurance is that it’s pretty affordable.

A typical policy can cost less than $200 per year. That’s less than $4 per week. It’s worth the sacrifice. You are also in for a nice bonus if you already have car insurance. Many insurance carriers will give you a multi-policy discount if you package your auto and renter’s policy together with the same company.

The second thing you need to know is that your stuff is much more valuable than you realize. How much would it cost you to start over if you had a total loss? Apartments burn down and get robbed just like houses. Starting over after a loss like that is much easier when your

independent insurance agent drops off a check to replace all of your things.

The last thing you need to know is probably the most important. A renter’s policy protects your financial assets by providing liability coverage. Liability insurance covers you for injury you cause to others and for damage to property that belongs to others. There are many ways to trigger a liability claim, so I’ve got some examples for you.

Claim scenario A: You decide to play in a recreational softball league. While batting, you hit a pitch back at the pitcher, hit him, and hospitalize him. The pitcher sues you, and your renter’s policy steps in to defend you and settle the suit.

Claim scenario B: You have some friends over for dinner. Your floor is wet and one of the friends slips and falls and requires medical treatment. Your renter’s policy steps in to pay for the treatment.

The risk of going without this simple insurance coverage is not worth the couple of dollars a week that you save by not having it.

Jamie Ianigro is with Shepherd Insurance & Finanacial Services.

My opinion: This home was built and sold at $450,000 by Estridge. The home is now worth $250,000.

Centennial is a great family-friendly neighborhood in Westfield located between Springmill and Ditch roads at 156th Street. The home is located on the corner lot. The neighborhood has many amenities and is located close to great schools as well as nearby shopping.

Built: 2005 Style: Traditional American Rooms: Five bedrooms, three full baths with kitchen including granite, some appliances and

hardwood kitchen floor, office on main level and unfinished basement.

Strengths: Awesome subdivision, great stacked stone fireplace in two-story great room; main floor bedroom and full bath; granite, walk-in pantry, bar area to dining room; massive master closet; four-car garage, irrigation system; exterior is brick and cement board.

Negatives: This home is a short sale and is sold as is. The home had major flooding and the basement is full of mold. The bank will accept $271,000 for this property as is. The bank also has agreed to remove the mold. It is missing some appliances.

Indoors Putting your home in a good light INSIDE & OUT

Commentary by David Decker

Functional, beautiful lighting can’t be created from a single light source. To achieve optimum lighting for your home, consider using layers of light in each room. To help you visualize this, try thinking of each light source as a layer in a cake. Each layer brings a different flavor to the cake, but they come together to make a single delicious dessert. Layering lighting works in the same way, by blending together multiple light sources to create a rich and ambient atmosphere.

The bottom layer of the lighting cake is called the “overall” layer or “ambient” layer. This is the foundation of the room’s lighting design. Chandeliers, ceiling fixtures and wall sconces fall into this category, and are intended to create soft illumination for everyday use. The ambient layer will determine the general brightness of the room. Choose to lower the lights in bedrooms and dining rooms to generate a romantic atmosphere. Or use brighter ones in the kitchen to make the room feel vibrant and energetic.

The next layer of lighting is the “task” lighting. This bright layer illuminates specific areas or surfaces to help with activities like cooking or reading. Because task lighting is more direct, using more of these lights instead of ambient lighting can help you save on energy bills.

Accent lighting refers to the top layer of our lighting system. This lighting helps enhance the

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

room and create visual interest. You can use accent lighting to illuminate art or architectural elements. Accent lights are usually adjustable so they can be used to produce a variety of styles for the room. Put the icing on the cake by implementing decorative lights. This layer doesn’t necessarily add functional light to the room; it’s mainly there to complete the look of the room.

Make sure these lights are on the dim side so they don’t overpower the rest of your décor.

Light layering techniques are especially relevant now around the holidays. String lights and candles are the perfect third or fourth layer for your home lighting scheme. Dim the ambient lights to make your Christmas tree and decorations really shine. A fireplace can also act as a cozy lighting source. Have fun decorating and happy holidays to you all!
