Osborne Trails proposal passes council

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Although council member Cindy Spoljaric abstained from voting and Joe Edwards voted against the proposal, the DEVELOPMENT 265-acre Osborne Trails Planned Unit Development passed through Westfield City Council Feb. 27.

The PUD would allow for a mixed-use development with single-family residential, single-family attached residential and commercial uses at 191st Edwards Street from Six Points Road to Horton Road. The development was formerly known as Drexler Woods.

Edwards requested an economic analysis to be done on the project to discover if it will cover the cost of fire and police services for that area.

“I would like to know because every roof we have out there requires police and fire services,” Edwards said. “Police and fire are required to service those units, and if we can’t pay for it or have difficulty in paying for it, it makes it a bad deal.”

Edwards requested the proposal be delayed until the study is completed. The PUD is not able to develop until it is annexed into city limits.

Residents in the area would not attend Westfield schools but would pay Westfield taxes.

“I have no objection to discussing this for the future, whether it’s something we feel as a council is appropriate for making decisions in the future, but we’ve never done this in the past,” council member Steve Hoover replied to Edwards’ comments. “I would argue these homes having no impact in the schools is a huge benefit.

Paying taxes, not adding any kids to our schools, the compactness of the neighborhood makes for less streets we have to maintain. There are many advantages to a neighborhood like this. There is a huge amount of benefits, so I don’t believe this particular project should be delayed while we do some sort of study we have The development consists of 265 acres.

BAGI single-family home permits rise again news@currentinwestfield.com The Builders’ Association of Greater Indianapolis recently released numbers reflecting that its nine-county greater Indianapolis area single-family home permits rose for the 14th straight month The numbers rose 7 percent compared to January Real estate 2016. As of January 2017, there were 345 new permits issued year to date.

“During the winter months, we typically see a drop in permit numbers, so we are very excited to report another month of rising numbers,” BAGI CEO Steve Lains stated in a press release. “We are seeing surges in the 55-plus housing market along with the multi-family housing market which helps offset some of the regulatory struggles prohibiting local builders from keeping up with demand for housing in an affordable price range.”

Hamilton County again has the most single-family home permits with 137 in January. The next highest is Marion County with 53.

According to the press release, permits issued in January had an economic impact of $61,783,912 in local income, $14,025,971 in local taxes and 1,046 local jobs. For more, visit bagi.com.

Wood Wind planned unit development attorney Joe Scimia approached the city council Feb. 27 to request the DEVELOPMENT proposal be remanded to the Advisory Plan Commission.

At its APC appearance, four APC members voted for and four voted against the development. With no decision either way, the proposal moved on to council without a recommendation.

“The way the case was presented and voted on, there was basically neither five votes in favor of a favorable or negative recommendation,” Scimia said. “Past practice of the plan commission has been that under those circumstances the case would then go to council with no recommendation. There was never actually a motion made at plan commission to send the case to (council) with no recommendation. Therefore, there is an argument, not saying it’s a good argument, but certainly a basis to assert the fact that no official action was taken by the plan commission with respect to this case.

“Given the amount of time that has been expended on this and the amount of public

input that has been received on this, we want to send this case back to plan commission for further consideration and a definitive vote.”

Scimia said although changes might take place, no additional public hearing would be held when the proposal returned to plan commission. Areas of scrutiny include the multifamily and retail areas, side-load garages and more.

Multi-family area “Rest assured, we will receive public comment, but that’s not really the petitioner’s job to determine if there should be a public hearing,” Scimia said. “State law doesn’t require another public hearing. There is no legal requirement to do so.”

The proposal was sent back to plan commission with no objection from the city council. For more, visit westfield.in.gov.

Township partners with Janus for clothing program

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com An idea originally targeted to help one person has expanded into a closetful of clothes that helps many.

Kara Critchlow, an emgiving back ployment specialist at Janus Developmental Services, encountered an issue that arose quickly with one of Janus’s clients who was prepping for an interview.

Normally, the organization has time to outfit them accordingly.

“We had (an interview) come up quickly, and she’s (the client) like, ‘I don’t have anything to wear.’ She didn’t have anything, so I lent her my own clothes and thought this comes up quite a bit, actually, where we don’t have time to wait,” Critchlow said.

Westfield Washington Township Trustee Danielle Carey Tolan heard about Janus launching a Dress to Impress program and decided to step in.

“I heard about the program, and I said, ‘We have to be involved,’” Tolan said. “I reached out to (Janus) and said, ‘I heard this program was coming into fruition, can we sit down and talk and see how we can partner on this?’ From the ground running, we started throwing out ideas of who to talk to. It’s just a great way

to serve our community.”

The township office, 1549 E. Greyhound Pass, serves as a drop-off location for Dress to Impress, and the program’s closet is al-

ready filling.

Janus Community Services Manager Becke Nauyokas said the township office and Janus are primary drop-off locations, but the organi-

zation wants to have more soon.

“Once we met with Danielle, we started talking about inviting other trustees throughout the county to participate and having several drop-off sites and thinking, ‘Heck, if we can do that, it doesn’t have to be lending, (the clients) can keep it,’” Nauyokas said. “It’s just ballooning into this whole cool project.”

Everything from clothes, shoes, purses, belts, ties and accessories are accepted.

Nauyokas said there has already been one success story with the program, which began last month.

“So far, there’s been a gentleman who had an interview and he had everything but the tie,” Nauyokas said. “He came in and was nervous and said, ‘I just wish I had a tie.’ So we went through what we already had donated and found a tie and went to YouTube to find out how to tie that tie. You could just see his confidence level rise. He went to his interview, he did great, he got the job and he’s already started working.”

Nauyokas said Janus also picks up items from those who may not be able to make it to the drop-off sites. Those interested can contact her at rnauyokas@janus-inc.org.

Don’t let a day of GREAT HOOPS turn into OOPS! It’s back! Nothing beats March Madness®.

The excitement. The buzzer beaters. The food and drink. But before you get lost in the roar of the crowd, here are a few things to consider: • Hosting a tourney-watching party?

Remember you can be liable for guests who might over-imbibe on your property.

Don’t charge for drinks and don’t hire a bartender. BYOB is always your safest bet.

• Don’t want to watch at home? If you’d rather go out and cheer on your teams with friends, we’ve selected a few great neighborhood places where you can watch all the games and enjoy great food, drink, and people.

• Be smart. Minimize your risks. And definitely HAVE FUN! But if you’re out and “enjoy yourself” too much, call a friend, cab, or ride service.

When in doubt, ask your insurance agent.

Rotary International is a service organization for men and women.

Our theme this year is Fun and Fellowship.

Township hosts summer camps

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Parents will have an opportunity to sign their children up for the popular Westfield Washington Township sumeducation mer camps at 9 a.m. April 10. Registration is online only, and Township Education Director Kristy White said camps sell out quickly.

“Mark your calendars before registration time because they fill up within a couple hours. That’s what I’ve been telling everybody,” White said. “I don’t know why they fill up so quickly. I think preschool (camps) do because not a lot of camps are offered for preschoolers, and the older ones are repeat customers of people who have been coming since preschool.”

White said although her camps differ in topic, she tries to maintain the summer camp feel.

“I try to keep the roots of good old-fashioned summer camp. Even though they might be cooking things, we still do outdoor play,” White said.

Township camps consist of White’s camps, township office camps and MacGregor Park camps.

Mrs. White’s Camps: • Young Chefs: Ages 6-8, June 6-9, June 13-16.

• Creative Cooks: Ages 9-11, June 20-23.

• Kids Cafe: Ages 3-5, July 11-14 • Wild and Wacky Camp: Ages 3-5, July 1720, July 24-27.

Human trafficking isn’t a comfortable subject, but Ascent 121’s mission is to provide community awareness.

Ascent 121, a faithawareness based group founded in 2013, held a human trafficking forum Feb. 26 at Fishers United Methodist Church. Ascent 121 volunteer Ryan Blakley led the discussion on domestic sex trafficking of minors. Blakley said the average age of sex traffic victims is 12 to 13.

Blakley said human trafficking, where victims are sold for sex or used in child pornography, is the second-fasting growing criminal enterprise in the world.

“We look to serve the teen survivors of trafficking,” said Blakley, a Westfield resident who is a vice president and branch manager with PNC bank. “I do a lot of speaking engagements. I speak to a lot of small groups, community training, we talk to teachers, social workers, court officers, police officers. If you work around a child and if you are aware what to look for, there are things you can do to be helpful.”

Blakley said parents, grandparents or other relatives can learn what to look for as far as children’s online activity.

The other thing Ascent 121 specializes in is recovery. Ascent 121 works with IMPACT, an Indianapolis residential treatment. Blakley said the teens go there for shelter after they’ve been rescued from a situation.

“We also present home-based counseling, evaluations and aftercare for those young women,” Blakley said.

The name of the group comes from Psalm 121.

The majority of trafficked teens have experienced prior sexual abuse, physical abuse or neglect.

According to figures by Ascent 121, Indiana has the second-highest rate of rape/sexual assault of teen girls in the nation.

One-third of female runaways are approached or recruited into the sex trade within 48 hours of leaving home.

Blakley explained it isn’t only runaways that are abducted and sold for sex. Often, it’s an older male attempting to present himself as a boyfriend, who forces a child into the sex trade.

“They’ve not only been exposed to evil by this abusive relationship, but all of the people who have come into their world abused them again and again,” Blakley said.

Drugs are often used to control the victims.

“A lot of the problem is some of these girls don’t understand what love looks like,” Blakley said.

The Westfield Rotary Club welcomed Hamilton County historian David Heighway to its club Feb. 28 to speak on Fredhistory erick Douglass and celebrate Black History Month. Heighway also works at Hamilton East Public Library in Noblesville.

He began his presentation with talks of Douglass and a riot that occurred in Pendleton when a mob attacked Douglass, a 19th century former slave and abolitionist.

Heighway said much of his job is proving myths to be either true or false. His presentation focused on Douglass’ 1881 autobiography.

Heighway said that while the book underwent editing, much of Micajah White’s portion was cut out. White was a Quaker from Westfield.

White’s teeth were knocked out by a brick bat by the mob during Douglass’s presentation.

“The thing was, all of the White family was involved in the anti-slavery movement and the Underground Railroad,” Heighway said. “One of the things we are dealing with now as historians is talk about the Underground Railroad and abolition. A lot of people didn’t talk about it. With a lot of Westfield Quakers, it’s myth, but at the same time all sorts of arrows are saying this is probably true but we can’t find paperwork.”

him problems for the rest of his life because it was never set properly.

Some Rotarians asked Heighway how Douglass got so famous. Heighway’s answer was that Douglass was an eloquent speaker.

“He was a naturally good speaker,” he said.

“A lot of guys escaped from slavery, but Douglass educated himself and learned how to talk about what his life was like. He was very intelligent. A lot of ex-slaves talked on abolition tours, but few could express themselves as well as Douglass could, so as a result he definitely attracted a lot of attention his way.”

CONGRATULATIONS, SYDNEY ON YOUR PERFECT 36 ON THE ACT

Shark Tank program leads to student business pitches

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Certain students are in the midst of a Westfield High School Shark Tank Competition. Recently, four of the education 11 teams moved on to the second phase.

This is the second year librarian Joel Bruns has invested his time in the project.

“The first round was set up like traditional ‘Shark Tank,’ where you have people up there and pitching an idea,” Bruns said. “Round two is going to be different, more like a science fair-type of set up. Students set their project up around the room and invite the entire community in to come and look at those projects they’ve developed over the course of the month. At this point, we have partnered up with some of the business people in the community who were judges in the first round.”

Jon Knight, Curt Whitesell, Chad Huff, Chris Woodard, Ben Davis, Sam Milligan and Ben Hoffman served as judges for the first round.

Students received suggestions for their projects and will refine them prior to the science fair event.

Todd Irwin, Dave Mueller and Gary Brackett

will serve as judges for the second round.

“I wanted to get local business people involved because I wanted it to feel like a more authentic, real-world experience for students,” Bruns said.

Student projects included various ideas, such as a journaling task reminder app, an extracurricular club app, a hybrid fuel vehicle, cake cutter, water conservation and more.

“It was all over the map,” Bruns said. “The other reason I want this is I want students to start to think ideas that they develop now are potentially ideas they’ll be working on later in their lives as well. I want them to refine what it is that they’re passionate about and figure out what that thing really is.”

An attorney sits in whenever the students present to protect the students’ rights when it comes to their business pitches.

The science fair will be at 7 p.m. March 23 in the learning center at Westfield High School, 18250 N. Union St. Members of the public will be able to browse the students’ ideas. A ceremony will occur the following day at 7 p.m. in the high school auditorium where judges will choose the winning student. The winner receives a cash prize. Refreshments will be available.

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Nikki Heflin’s Westfield High School classroom is designed like a lab, but kids are creating recipes, not conducting sciencover story tific experiments.

Heflin has taught nutrition and wellness and advanced nutrition and wellness since the 2011-12 school year, but this is the first year she’s led an advanced culinary arts course.

“All of that leads to culinary arts, and this is the very first class,” Heflin said. “For these students, if they want to be in this course, they should really want to have a focus on the restaurant industry or hospitality industry. Not necessarily being a chef but really having an interest in learning the skills you need to work in a commercial kitchen.”

Advanced culinary arts students learn knife skills and cook in the lab three-to-four times a week. They recently completed a capstone event, the Taste of Trinidad, which combined with the high school steel pan drums and arts classes.

signment where they researched Trinidad (and Tobago) and immersed themselves in the culture and chose different recipes,” Heflin said. “We wrote (the recipes) from serving five to feed 300 to 400 and also cook in that massive scale. They cooked on commercial equipment in the (school) cafeteria. All safety and sanitation lessons they have done we analyzed and put that into this large-scale event, too. It’s been really cool seeing all the principles they have learned through the text and classroom instruction, and having that opportunity to apply to a real-world situation is invaluable. They’ve really taken it seriously and worked so hard.”

The capstone

“Jeff McLaughlin, one of the band teachers, approached me. He knew this class was a new course we were doing. He had always done this concert on a smaller scale, but what about bringing it to a larger scale? He said, ‘We will have the concert, and your students can cater the food’,” Heflin said.

The music students performed Trinidadian music, and culinary arts students catered for approximately 300 to 400 attendees. Art class projects were set up in the auditorium for viewing. Culinary students completed multiple test runs throughout the trimester to prepare for Trinidad-style catering recipes. Recipes included Caribbean jerk chicken, mango pineapple salsa, cookies and more.

“All of the students had a big research as-

Students learn knife skills in advanced culinary arts.

Students get more out of the class than learning recipes and knife skills, though. Junior Spencer Schneider said the difference of the class’ structure provides him with a much-needed break during the day.

“This is learning in a different way and I thrive.

It’s a break in the day,” Schneider said. “This class makes me more interested in school, and I want to actually learn about this stuff. I think it’s cool how you don’t see these types of classes very often.”

Heflin works alongside another teacher, Julie McComb, who leads beginning nutrition classes.

Heflin said she and McLaughlin plan to make the Taste of Trinidad an annual event.

“I absolutely loved the collaboration with a different content area. It brought three very different disciplines (music, visual art and culinary arts) together to achieve a common goal,” McLaughlin stated in an email. “Westfield High School is getting larger every year, and it would be easy to stay in my own content area bubble and be isolated from the rest of the school. This cross-curricular (event) was so energizing, and I hope that it continues to grow. I could see this even extending to other departments in the future.”

Turning a deaf ear

ANOTHER VIEWPOINT

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Distortions can be fixed The current political climate is proving brutal for everyone. Distortions are happening on both sides of the political spectrum.

Learning to have constructive conversation with the “other side” rather than the divisive distorted banter relies on the average citizen being thoughtful of our words. Challenging distortions is not a call for political correctness. Distortions offer dramatic effect but cannot offer the clarity necessary to see both sides of an issue. In his book “Feeling Good,” Dr. David Burns described a list of 11 Cognitive distortions. The three distortions I see most often in my political discussions are: • All-or-nothing thinking — You see things in black-and-white categories.

• Mental filter — You pick out a single, negative detail and dwell on it exclusively so that your vision of all reality becomes darkened.

• Labeling — When someone else’s behavior rubs you the wrong way, you attach a negative label to him: “He’s a loser.”

Whether you are interacting on social media, reading an editorial or listening to a pundit, I believe it is imperative to our public discourse that we acknowledge when others are clouding the issues with these types of distortions. By acknowledging distortions, we could move our conversations to the richer details indicative of sound policy addressing the concerns of all citizens.

Government policy should reflect a spectrum and not just one side. We need diversity in thought to make our communities strong and receptive.

Loving in two hearts Commentary by Terry Anker Families are complicated – even when they are not. Most of us have a dad and mom.

Well, we all, by the recipe, “must” have at least one of each to get the process started.

Once begun, there are any number of combinations that meet the standard. Sometimes, we participated at the origin – the ones that conceived and remained, choosing a mate, marrying and eventually setting our sights on shared parenthood. Others arrange family differently. But all focus, uninterrupted by the machinations of daily living, on delivering into the world one or more fully formed adult children ready to reproduce that which they have seen modeled at home – namely to propagate the species and bring forth another generation of us. There are countless among ourselves who stand up and carry the unrelenting yoke of parenthood.

None is better than the other. Yet, all are dedicated to survival in a sometimes hostile and inhospitable world by self-replicating and, in so-doing, continuing the line that

came before us. This month a good friend, long-ago adopted, reached out to his biological parents. Some 50 years ago, they, for many reasons, delivered an infant into the kind and willing hands of an adoptive family desperately awaiting his birth. But only now did that baby decide to announce his continuing existence to those whom he had imagined but not known.

Facebook made the connection. Messages were exchanged. Soon, regular telephone calls followed. Birth mother led to birth father led to step-siblings led to all manner of aunts, uncles and family penumbra. His “family” has long been firmly in place. Those who raised, loved and cared for him stand ready – still devoted – in earnest hope that his journey will fulfill. How do we live and love in two hearts?

Recently, I’ve developed a crush on Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I love her spunky, “I’ll never die” humor energy, and the fact that she does not take poop from anyone.

But what I admire most is her practical take on balancing work, motherhood and marriage.

Basically, she suggests that you allow each area of your life to serve as a refuge from the others, and that on occasion, you become deaf.

It is this second little nugget of wisdom upon which I would like to expound today, my dear readers, for in my infinite experience as a teacher, wife and parent, I’ve found that pretending not to hear muttered cuss words, murmured criticisms and stream-ofconsciousness rants by teenage girls proves to be a great advantage, cutting way down on my stress levels and, consequently, the amount of Prosecco needed to dull the edge.

Think about it. Are we always better off when we correct young people on their choice of vocabulary? Is it always mandatory to fully engage with a color guard member who is ranting about some rifle spin or saber toss that she just can’t manage to land?

Sometimes, I find myself so worked up by my students’ colorful profanity or my husband’s insensitive remarks or the fact that my daughter has been spewing play-by-play dance drama for 28 minutes straight that I lose perspective on the bigger things in life.

I literally get sucked into the negative comments and the bratty shenanigans and forget that all things considered, I’m OK. So, I’m going to continue to heed the advice of Justice Ginsburg and occasionally go deaf.

I’m going to tune out my children’s word vomit when they aren’t looking for answers but merely to vent. And I’m going to pretend not to hear when a high-schooler drops the Fbomb two feet from me because his signature hashtag has been co-opted.

Peace out.

With the New Year came new resolutions of home ownership as evidence by F.C. Tucker Company’s monthly real real estate estate market stats, with 2,109 homes sold in Central Indiana, an increase from 1,851 in December. Also positive for sellers, the average year-to-date home price for the 15-county region rose 7.1 percent to $180,866, compared to January 2016.

Hamilton County’s pended sales increased a staggering 28.5 percent in January 2017 compared to January 2016. Prices also have increased by 1.8 percent over last year to an average of $276,256. The number of available homes for sale, however, continues to decline in the region; inventory in Hamilton County slid 9.9 percent in January, a drop of 143 homes available compared to this time last year.

• In Westfield, the average home sales price decreased 10.4 percent year to date to $303,015.

• Inventory moved at a slightly slower rate in Westfield in January 2017. Overall, homes sold in 73 days – six more days than this time last year.

• Buyers in Westfield had fewer options available to them. Last month, 191 homes were available for sale – 26 fewer homes compared to January 2016.

• Pended home sales increased in Westfield. In January 2017, 69 homes sold – an increase of 16 homes compared to January 2016.

• Of the pended home sales in Westfield last month, 12 were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 22 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 21 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; 12 were priced $100,000 to $199,999 and two were priced less than $99,999.

“Home prices have surpassed pre-(Great) Recession levels,” said Jim Litten, CEO of F.C. Tucker Company. “Although mortgage rates are projected to rise to 5 percent in 2017, we don’t expect this minimal increase to have a huge impact on the market as a whole.”

Westfield Fire Dept. trains Grand Park staff on AEDs, CPR news@currentinwestfield.com In the case of an emergency, Grand Park staff have been trained by the Westfield Fire Dept. in AED defibrilpublic safety lators and CPR. Grand Park has 14 AEDs throughout its campus, five of which are stationed in the Grand Park Events Center. The remaining nine are spread throughout concession stands and administration buildings.

“As a premier destinaCook tion for youth sports, we place safety at the forefront,” Westfield Mayor Andy Cook stated in a press release. “The investment in onsite AEDs and the continued training of our staff and partner organizations further reinforces that commitment.”

An AED was used on Grand Park’s campus last May when a 13-year-old boy’s heart stopped after being struck in the chest by a baseball. A concession stand AED was used, and his life was saved.

“The large number of visitors to Grand Park raises the likelihood of a cardiac emergency occurring onsite, whether it is a player or spectator,” Westfield Fire Chief Marcus Reed stated.

“The training of staff in administering CPR and the use of AEDs while awaiting EMS services will help ensure Reed more positive outcomes.”

Grand Park also recently announced a partnership with Methodist Sports Medicine to provide medical care to youth athletes. For more, visit grandpark.org.

New Stompin Barley restaurant brings locally sourced food, beverages to Carmel

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com A new Carmel restaurant will offer cuisine, beer and wine targeted toward a 21-and-older crowd. Stompin Barley, 14560 River Rd., Suite 140, opened Feb. 21. dining Executive Chef Kyle Allbright, who formerly worked at the Oceanaire Seafood Room in Indianapolis, said menu items will be made from scratch and locally sourced.

“What I’m trying to do with my food is pretty much take downtown (Indianapolis) and bring it to Carmel, because nobody else is doing the fromscratch-type of deal,” said Allbright, a Fishers resident. “So we are getting away from the corporate chain feel and bringing people to a nice place to come in and have some wine, grab some good food and keep it reasonably priced.”

The price range is $6-15 for appetizers and small plates and $12-27 for entrees. Menu options include duck confit, seared scallops piccata, cedar plank salmon, various sliders, tacos and more.

Currently, the restaurant only serves beer and wine and no spirits. The menu for lunch and dinner is the same, but Allbright said depending on feedback, the restaurant might explore different menu options.

“It’s just classic cuisine with a twist of modern flavors,” Allbright said.

Owners Dick and Alesia Deboer are from Noblesville. This is the couple’s

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

37 plays IN 97 MINUTES!

3/17 - 4/1

IN THE STUDIO THEATER

The Central Indiana Dance Ensemble will be giving audiences a sneak preview of a dance, which group members will dance perform at the Regional Dance America National Festival.

The Carmel-based pre-professional ballet company will present Mixed Rep at 4 p.m.

March 12 at Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre in Carmel.

Vicki Burdick, a CIDE board member in charge of marketing, said the dances include a mixed repertoire of pieces from modern to classical. Many have been choreographed exclusively for CIDE by nationally renowned choreographers Eddy Ocampo, Derek Reid and Ashley Walton. The national festival for dancers will be held May 2 to 6 in Phoenix.

“The chance to work with these type of choreographers is an amazing experience for the dancers,” CIDE Artistic Director Suzann DeLay said. “Of the three pieces, one of them has been selected to go on to our national festival.”

Burdick said the national festival gives the CIDE the chance to perform in front of nationally recognized choreographers and ballet directors from across the U.S.

“This gives our dancers a chance to learn and interpret a very renowned piece,” DeLay said.

There will be a silent auction, starting at 2:30 p.m., at Mixed Rep to raise funds for the Phoenix trip.

Blueprint for Improvement: 1970s main level remodel Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions:

After

The goal was to design two areas that work together to create function and flow for this high-traffic area.

1. The updated laundry room offers fresh lines, easy to maintain granite counter tops and multiple built-in folding areas.

2. The mudroom area was redesigned to specifically suit the family’s needs. Cabinet drawers were installed below, doubling as a bench. In the center, the family needed open cubbies with hooks for coats and bags. The closed cabinets above add a versatile storage option.

3. The drum pendant light for this space gives the laundry room a causal, yet modern feel.

4. A bold, contrasting, sliding barn door provides a visual barrier between the two areas, while maximizing the usable space.

This is the perfect solution for this clean, functional space.

Before Background Info: This house is in the Village of West Clay in Carmel. Even though it was built in 2004, it lacked the functionality and convenient features that a busy family needs in a custom, updated mudroom.

Before problems: Common characteristics of intermediate spaces is that they are not used efficiently, which creates multi-purpose areas that become crowded and hard to maintain. The owners wanted to redefine their laundry room and mudroom into clean, functional and efficient areas that work together.

Lahori Gate of Red Fort in Old Delhi, India. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Red Fort: Symbol for India Commentary by Don Knebel Shan Jahan is best known for building the Taj Mahal as a tomb for his favorite wife. His less famous Red Fort in Old Deltravel hi, India, represents the epitome of Mughal architecture and has become a symbol of Indian independence.

Shan Jahan became the fifth Mughal Emperor in 1628 after the death of his father. With the Taj Mahal still under construction, Shan Jahan moved his capital from Agra to Delhi. In 1639 he commissioned a fortified palace and government center on a 250-acre site south of the Yamuna River that also passes behind the Taj Mahal. The fort was built primarily of red sandstone, providing its name. Subsequent Mughal buildings copied its distinctive style, combining architectural details from India, Europe and Persia. The Lahori Gate, the main entrance to the fort, is topped by seven white domes and flanked by octagonal towers, each topped with a dome.

In 1857, Indian soldiers initiated a rebellion against the rule of the British East India Com-

pany. The uprising failed and British forces occupied the Red Fort, where they put on trial Bahadur Shah II, the last Mughal emperor. The British then used the fort as a garrison, damaging marble buildings inside the walls. Many of the treasures of the Red Fort, including the last emperor’s crown, are in the British Museum. On Aug. 15, 1947, Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru raised the Indian national flag above the Lahori Gate, signaling India’s independence. On each Independence Day since, the prime minister has raised the flag and given a major speech to crowds assembled in front of the Lahori Gate.

The Red Fort, with many of its interior structures restored and turned into museums, was named a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2007 and is open to the public. A visit provides a look at India’s glorious history.
