New superintendent Grate tours schools

Police department releases annual report

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

news@currentinwestfield.com

With Supt. Dr. Mark Keen’s retirement slated for March 31, Dr. Sherry Grate, of DeKalb Co. Central United School District, has been touring the Westfield Washington School District district to get a feel for Westfield and the schools before she officially assumes her role as superintendent July 1.

“When I learned about the opportunity here with Dr. Keen retiring at the (end of this month), I had always admired the work and respected the work accomplished at Westfield Washington Schools under Grate his leadership and saw this as a wonderful opportunity for me to also grow as a leader,” Grate said. “I am meeting lots of people, and primarily, right now, I’m just doing a lot of listening.”

With the end of the 2015-16 school year just months away, Keen said the main job of the superintendent is planning for the 2016-17 school year. He said the school board will appoint someone temporarily to act as superintendent to sign documents such as selecting teachers and budget development.

Grate served at DeKalb Co. Central United School District for 16 years, seven of which she was superintendent. Before that, Grate was an elementary school teacher and elementary school principal in other districts. In 2014, Grate was elected as district superintendent of the year.

“No matter where you are, it’s important to build relationships with people from students to staff to people in the community,” Grate said.

“That’s just an important trait no matter where you are. I think the thing I’ll miss the most about DeKalb is just we’ve always been on this journey together, and I will miss not being a part of what those next steps are. However, I feel my path and journey is just taking me a different way to Westfield.”

Grate attended Indiana University Bloomington for her undergraduate in elementary education and Ball State University for her doctorate.

“I have been very blessed to have this opportunity I have had in leadership and leadership is just a passion of mine,” she said. “Coming to Westfield provides that additional opportunity to take my passion to another community, another school district.”

Along with learning more about the school district, Grate will be visiting Westfield before her role begins to find a place to live in the community she will be serving. Some of Grate’s hobbies include running, sports, fine arts activities and travel. She completed her student teaching in Australia, which she says is her favorite place.

“I’m just extremely excited about the opportunity,” she said. “I want to become as involved as I possibly can, not only in the schools, but in the community as well.”

Grate served approximately 3,600 students in the DeKalb Co. Central United School District. The Westfield Washington School District has approximately 7,200 students.

The Westfield Police Dept. has released the 2015 annual report. The report highlighted training hours, the sixth year of the Westfield Citizen’s Academy, burglary decreases and change in public safety personnel – the death of Detective Scott Clouse, who lost his battle to cancer in August – and the retirement of CSO Wally Sitzes and resignation of two officers.

Calls of service in 2015 increased from 39,158 to 44,008. Police department goals listed in the report include employee engagement, working for a safe city, enhancing infrastructure, fiscal responsibility and customer relations excellence.

“Westfield’s community is able to thrive thanks to the dedication of our public safety professionals,” Mayor Andy Cook said. “I’m grateful to law enforcement for continuing to provide protection that keeps Westfield residents and visitors safe.”

Local In addition to the work space, another amenity has recently become available through the Union.

On March 21, Whitesell introduced Wander Westfield, an initiative to encourage people to bike around the city’s trails and visit local businesses such as the restaurants on Park Street. Whitesell purchased three bikes that will be available free of charge to those who want to borrow them.

“The goal of it is I want people to see the

really cool local stuff we have,” he said. “We’ve got some great restaurants. We’ve got great trails. My thought is, as people come to visit businesses or come to town, they can hop on a bike and get the true local experience. Long term, it will create brand awareness through local companies.”

Whitesell will provide an interactive map to those who would like to utilize the bikes. To bike, one must send a photo of their driver’s license to 317-698-2700 or through the Union Westfield’s Facebook page. The user also must post to social media during the ride with the Wander Westfield hashtag.

Westfield history highlights will be placed on the map such as Asa Bales Park.

“We will talk about different landmarks, like Asa Bales has got a nice little story to it or the cemetery on south union,” he said. “I would like to partner with someone who can help with that, like the parks department or the historical society.”

Whitesell said he hopes he can receive some bikes in good condition to place at local businesses around the city.

“It’s a perfect fit for this co-working space. I want people to work together, but I also want people to enjoy our community together,” Whitesell said. “I envision tenants or members hopping on a bike for a one-on-one meeting. They could go ride the trails and talk instead of sitting down.”

Adam Robinson has visited Haiti multiple times, and he and his family will leave May 17 to stay there for many years.

Westfield paramedic Adam Robinson will move family to Haiti to help Nehemiah Vision Ministries

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Adam Robinson has traveled to Haiti through Northview Church ministry teams multiple times, but his next trip there will last three to five years. cover story Adam, a paramedic with the Westfield Fire Dept., will be in charge of temporary leadership teams traveling to Haiti, and also working on developing a prehospital care system for the island.

“When we were in Haiti, Nehemiah Vision Ministries was at the beginning stages of building a medical center that will have inpatient health care, a malnutrition clinic, operation rooms, labor and delivery, radiology and dentistry. It’s an all-encompassing clinic,” he said. “Being a paramedic, that really connected with me.”

On the campus tour of Nehemiah Vision Ministries, Adam was brought into a warehouse that had an ambulance that had been donated from America.

“When I saw it, it didn’t make sense because they don’t have EMS services in Haiti,” he said. “I asked, and they said someday they have hopes of establishing a prehospital care system. I have been a paramedic for 12 years, and I felt, why not me?”

Adam will not be in charge of establishing the medical center, but the short-term, leadership teams visiting and staying at NVM from American colleges and churches.

“When we get down there, my primary job is going to be a team facilitator, I’m responsible for all short term teams from the airport to time they leave,” he said. “I’ll be responsible for the logistics making sure they have all they need for time they’re there.”

When he is not assisting teams, Adam will help the medical director at NVM establish the prehospital care system from the ground up.

The infrastructure for a 9-1-1 system is not in place yet in Haiti, and Adam and his wife, Kristin, will need to do some creative problem solving to create one. Haiti is not equipped with an ambulatory service. The United Nations has vehicles for medical care, but Adam said Haiti does not operate on a governmental health care system like the United States.

“There’s a need for it, people walk for healthcare or have to pay for transportation, and the funds aren’t there to be able to do that,” Kristin said. “There’s a need to be able to help people.”

All healthcare provided to Haitians at NVM is not free, but done at a severely discounted rate. Adam said Haitians do not want free care; they want to be able to provide for their

families.

“It gives them a pride to take care of themselves and families,” he said. “NVM is all about giving a hand up, not a hand out. It’s a lot cheaper, but they still have to work for it so they can say they did that for their family.”

The Robinsons have two children currently in Hamilton Southeastern Schools who will travel to Haiti with them, and Kristin will homeschool the children.

Adam will serve on the Westfield Fire Dept. until April 3, and the Fishers family leaves for Haiti May 17.

Their first year is completely funded, and they need approximately $55,000 each year to fund their trip. Donations may be made at therobinsonsonmission.com.

Meet the Robinsons Adam, 31, Kristin, 32, Connor, 5, and Samantha, 7 Teams planned for Haiti missions: 46 in 2016 that Adam will facilitate, but more can always be added.

Family hobbies: Being outside, riding bikes, camping.

Children’s feelings for Haiti: “There’s some anxiety about not understanding where they are going to go and what it’ll be like, but they have excitement too about new things and new people,” Kristin said.

FR O M T HE BA C K SH O P

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

‘Trump Sisters’ mean business

You might have heard about Diamond and Silk, former Democrats that have wholeheartedly jumped aboard the “Trump Train.” Theirs is no gimmicky play, either. The African-American sisters hailing from Fayetteville, N.C., have a series of online videos for your viewing consumption and consideration (the link for one such production, this one a Fox interview from last week, is https://www.youtube. com/watch?v=_PT3cQ0rTx4). When you sense the zeal with which they speak, it’s not a fabrication, no puff, no comedy. They are as passionate about getting off “the Democrat Plantation” as they are standing tall – and maybe a tad loud - for the Republican billionaire candidate for president. They take shots at the Clintons, much of it rooted in the past.

There is, to say the least, an element of fun in their delivery, but it’s also highly thought provoking. On www.diamondandsilkinc.com, you will find a Ditch and Switch page, which states, among other things, this: “DITCH the Democrat Party and SWITCH to Republican Party to vote for Mr. Donald J. Trump in the primaries. Look below to see if your state is a Closed or Open primary voting state.” They have become bona fide political activists, and, yes, they are gut-level serious in their delivery. Listen to their message and see if, to you, it is as rooted in good sense as it is to us. Granted, they are imploring folks to get out and vote for their candidate, but voting for anyone is better than not voting at all. As we’ve stated previously, voting is a right and a responsibility, and it needs to be accorded the seriousness it deserves … yes, even if Diamond and Silk make you chuckle. The message is clear.

Welcome to the club

Commentary by Terry Anker

In his 1959 memoir, “Groucho and Me,” famed comedian and commentator Groucho Marx defended his desire to resign from a prominent Hollywood social club: Please accept my resignation. I don’t want to belong to any club that will accept me as a member.

Entertainment industry reporters first attributed the quote to Marx in a rift with the famed Friar’s Club. Then for decades, Marx and his children both confirmed and denied how and to whom Marx directed his ire (perhaps to protect the guilty as much as the innocent).

We humans don’t like to be excluded from the club. It doesn’t really matter what the club does or what benefits it might offer – if there is a door, and we are on the wrong side of it our collective blood pressure rises. Airports, vineyards, swimming pools and men’s razor companies have all exploited our need to be “in” when designing their marketing effort. A shaving “club” must be better than

buying a razor the old way… right? There must be some special benefit – it is a “club” after all. And, airlines have their own strategy. For $50 or so per flight, per day, we can access the storied halls of wealth and power. We can enter the sleek gated doors to find our own place in sanctum sanctorum.

While enduring a five-hour layover in sunny Houston airport, a travel partner granted me passage behind the velvet rope. Hosanna! What did I find? Very little. Stale coffee, low quality liquor, dried-out cheese cubes and heavy crowds. The only real advantage may have been to enjoy the longing eyes of the plebeian masses as I exited back to the airport hall to find a working bathroom.

Maybe Marx was right. Once you peek behind the gilded door, the magic is gone.

– William Arthur Ward

My newly-minted 12-year-old and I were texting back and forth a few days ago about the homework she humor supposedly slid under my door after I’d gone to bed. I, of course, failed to see it (or even step on it) and therefore, was of absolutely no help to her. Eventually she typed, “It’s Gucci. I’ll just ask my teacher.” Confused at her word choice and somewhat miffed that she included not one, but two, crying emoji’s, I randomly asked a couple of students who were just walking into my classroom, “Have you ever heard the phrase, ‘It’s Gucci?’” They surprised me with ear-to-ear grins, like “Wow! Our old fart of a teacher might finally be catching on!”

Turns out, “It’s Gucci” means everything is fine, although I’m sure my daughter did not merely wish to inform me she no longer needed assistance. I sensed a definite if-you-were-a-stay-at-home-mom-youwouldn’t-ignore-me vibe.

Anyhoo, the following morning, having slept terribly, I announced to a group of juniors, “I am really riding the struggle bus today!” I had learned this euphemism last year in the halls and so sought to not only relay my fatigue but also connect on their level.

“Um, Mrs. Wilson? We don’t really say that anymore.” Argh! There goes my street cred. I simply can’t get it right. When I don’t understand I seem stupid, and on the rare occasion when I do, I still seem stupid. It’s a catch-22, like the swearing crisis I experienced in 2003. If I dropped the F-bomb in front of my 3-year-old after an unfortunate potty-training incident, I risked receiving a call from Sister Mary Jo at PRE. If I didn’t, if I somehow miraculously refrained from releasing the cussword Kraken as I Silkwooded the entire bathroom, I’d go insane from bottled-up frustration.

The point is, that despite having kids at home and teaching high schoolers, I can no longer keep up with today’s youth speak. Alas, I must accept and use the language I know and love, and not worry about impressing teenagers. If they think I’m weird, so what? It’s Gucci.

Peace out.

Rock the Cradle to return for third year

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Expecting and new parents will have a chance to celebrate 6 to 8:30 p.m. April 14 at the Ritz Charles in Carmel.

Rock the Cradle will return for its third annual family fun complimentary event with shopping, contests, a fashion show and more to those with new little ones or babies on the way.

Jenn Kampmeier, founder of the event, said there will be approximately 70 vendors at the event.

“It’s basically our mission to empower parents on fitness, nutrition and wellness and then while shopping and celebrating in a whimsical atmosphere,” she said.

Although entry is complimentary, there will be charges at the various vendors and food trucks at the event. Some vendors include diaper and stroller companies, national and local companies, as well as booths on health and wellness.

Contests include the daddy-a-thon, where dads and partners of expecting and new moms will compete in an obstacle course. The dads or partners must perform certain skills and whoever wins receives a prize valued more than $400. Previous winners in years past have been awarded car seats or strollers.

There will be a show to offer tips and techniques for organizing the kid’s room, a pickle and ice cream bar sponsored by Oberweiss,

“mocktails” and a cupcake bar.

“The biggest thing is we normally have a very large line of 150 to 200 people waiting, the first 25 moms will receive a swaddle bag,” Kempmeier said. “This is filled with items and products from national and local companies for the babies.”

A 2-D ultrasound is available at the event for those who pre-register for $44.99.

SFJAZZ returns April 8 at the Palladium

By Jay Harvey • news@currentinwestfield.com Founded in 2004 by saxophonist Joshua Redman in San Francisco, the SFJAZZ Collective has honored a series of jazz giants with new arrangements of their compositions, preserved on CD music and shared with national audiences through touring.

The pattern was broken in 2011 and 2012, with recordings and a tour focusing on Stevie Wonder. The artistic direction of the group thus branched out into pop music, showing there was a legitimate jazz approach to such songs as “Sir Duke” and “Superstition.” The octet brought that show to the Center for the Performing Arts, proving its point definitively.

A further departure from a purist concentration brings the band back to the Palladium April 8, the night after a concert at Purdue’s Loeb Playhouse. This time, the ensemble features its arrangements of songs by Gary native Michael Jackson. Without the Jackson vocals and dance production, SFJAZZ Collective plays the the venture may seem like a stretch, but the music of Michael Jackson Collective touts the When: 8 p.m. April 8 musical validity of — Where: Palladium at Center for the Perand their personal forming Arts love for — songs like Tickets: $45-$95 (students, $15); “Working Day and www.thecenterfortheperformingarts.org Night” and “Don’t Stop

Correction – In the March 22 edition of Night and Day, the Daughters of R&B concert date was listed as March 13. The concert at The Warehouse in Carmel is on May 13.

‘In The Mood’ at the Palladium – Now in its 22nd season, “In The Mood” is a phenomenon among touring shows. With performances all across the U.S. and around the world, including two, sold-out tours of Australia, this show is a celebration of American popular music. The show will be at the Palladium in Carmel April 3. The timeless melodies and rhythms of the big band era such as “Tuxedo Junction,” “Sing, Sing, Sing,” “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy,” and of course, “In the Mood” then culminating with a stirring salute to our Veterans will have the audience cheering for more. A show for kids from 8 to 98 – bring the whole family. For tickets, visit thecenterpresents.org.

Singing Hoosiers – The Singing Hoosiers will perform at the Palladium in Carmel at 8 p.m. April 15. The Indiana University Singing Hoosiers have a long and storied tradition of excellence in the contemporary vocal arts, performing popular contemporary vocal music ranging from The Great American Songbook, jazz and Broadway to the hits of today. Dazzling choreography and a fun, energetic and entertaining program that appeals to all audiences, and all ages are a part of a Singing Hoosier performance. The ensemble averages 85 student singers and instrumentalists from the IU Jacobs School of Music as well as students from throughout the university. For tickets, visit thecenterpresents.org.

Carmel Symphony League to host Annual Spring Luncheon – The Carmel Symphony League will host the Annual Spring Luncheon April 12 at the Ritz Charles in Carmel. Social hour will begin at 11 a.m. with the luncheon beginning promptly at 11:45 a.m. Proceeds of the momentous occasion will benefit the CSO Education Program, which works to foster the musical talent of our local young artists. Appearances by special musical guests will highlight luncheon with silent auction items on display as well. Featured silent auction bid item includes a dinner with the Carmel Symphony Orchestra Maestro, David Bowden. RSVP

Carmel’s own Becca Peterson took “Where’s Amy?” on an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the set of “Newsies” … and yes, those newspapers are not made of paper they are ceramic props.

I had an exclusive “Newsies” behind the scenes photo session for Current with Carmel native Becca Peterson and a few of her amazing Broadway cast members. Peterson said it was an honor to come back home to perform instead of being in the audience. She said that the performances are demanding and intense but worth every minute when cheers from delighted audiences fill the air. Yep, Disney’s “Newsies” Broadway smash hit musical was sold out on opening night, and the excited audience cheered as the cast danced, leaped and sang the night away. I even learned a few newspaper tricks back stage from “Newsies” Sky Flaherty, Iain Young and Michael Damaski.

“Newsies” is thrilling, full-on energy, and everyone who attended was grinning from ear to ear. Be sure to check out the 2016-2017 #BroadwayIndy season at: BroadwayInIndianapolis. com “Where’s Amy?’ can’t wait to see you there!

The best broccoli parmesan soup Commentary by Ceci Martinez This is a mouth-watering recipe! This flavorful and vibrant Broccoli Parmesan Soup is a bowl of pure, creamy comfort!

Notes: A pinch of baking soda is a good trick for cooking broccoli; it raises the pH softening vegetable fiber so simmering time is much shorter.

Serves: 6 Ingredients: 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, 1 medium onion, finely chopped (about 1 cup), 4 medium stalks celery, finely diced (about 1 cup), 2 medium cloves garlic, minced, 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 2 cups milk, 2 cups low-sodium vegetable or chicken stock, plus more if necessary, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, 12 cups broccoli florets, stems, and stalks cut into 1-inch pieces, 3 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano, grated, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, salt and freshly ground black pepper, croutons Directions: Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a soup pot over medium-high heat.

Add onion, celery and garlic and cook, stirring, until vegetables are softened but not browned, about 5 minutes (reduce heat if butter begins to brown). Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, until all the flour is absorbed, about 30 seconds. Stirring constantly, slowly pour in the milk, followed

by the stock. Stir in baking soda and broccoli florets and bring to a boil. Then reduce heat to maintain a simmer, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until florets are completely tender, about 20 minutes. Working in batches, transfer the mixture to a blender, add the Parmesan, and blend, starting on low speed and gradually increasing to high, until completely smooth, about 1 minute. Add additional stock or water if necessary to thin to the desired consistency. Whisk in lemon juice and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve soup with croutons.

Those 21 and older living on Indy’s north side or in Hamilton Co. now have a closer refuge than the bar lounges cocktails placed downtown.

The Idyll Lounge, at 8487 Union Chapel Rd., opened about three weeks ago. Natalie Nierman, general manager, said the lounge is ideal for those finishing dinner and wanting to stay out a little longer.

Although food is sold at the bar, there are only eight small plates including surf and turf, guacamole, lobster rolls and more.

“It’s a high end cocktail lounge. We felt like the north side of Indianapolis needed something like this because they really don’t have it,” Nierman said. “We’re focused on having a really great guest experience. In other words, our staff is going to treat our customers with the utmost respect. We just feel that customer service has gone away in the last handful of years.”

The Idyll Lounge offers patio seating, as well as large garage doors that open when the weather allows to encourage fresh air inside the bar. There is no smoking.

“We are going to make sure that when people leave, they’re just impressed all the way

around from our food and our drinks to our staff,” Nierman said. “We want to make them want to come back and tell their friends.”

The Idyll Lounge encourages private parties, and multiple have been held at the bar since it has opened.

“It’s the perfect place for after dinner drinks,” Nierman said. “We have great music, live music and a DJ on some nights.”

An acoustic musician will begin performing at 8 p.m. each Thursday beginning in April. The bar is open Monday through Saturday, 4 p.m. to 2 a.m.

Divorce - What to Expect: Making a Workable Custodial and Parenting Time Arrangement Child Custody is actually two separate concepts; legal and physical custody of the children have different definitions and applications. Legal custody refers to the authority to make decisions on ongoing medical, educational, and religious issues surrounding the children. Joint legal custody allows for both parents to have input into these significant decisions and prohibits one parent from making these decisions without the consultation from the other. In cases where, the parents are able to communicate and cooperate with one another on such matters, joint legal custody is a typical agreement or order. However, if the parents are unable to discuss these discussions in a reasonable and consistent manner, the Court may issue an order awarding one parent this authority, referred to as “sole” legal custody. The legal custody order does not automatically affect the physical custody/parenting time order.

Physical custody refers to the primary residence of the children, subject to the parenting time of the other parent, which can be as much as an fifty percent or what is referred to a “shared” physical custody.

So long as a parenting time schedule is in the best interest of the children, parents may create a unique schedule which satisfies the needs of their children and each other and allows for both structure and flexibility. If the parties are unable to agree, the Indiana Parenting Time Guidelines provides a minimum parenting time schedule that gradually increases from the time of a child’s birth up until the child is three (3) years of age whereby parenting time occurs every other weekend, alternating holidays, with extended periods of parenting time during summer vacation. While the Guidelines represent a minimum amount of reasonable parenting time to be afforded to the non-custodial parent, many Indiana Courts commonly award an involved, non-custodial parent parenting time in excess of the schedule provided in the Guidelines, so again, an agreement that takes into account all facets of the parents’ schedules and the children’s needs is preferable.

If you and your child’s parent do not have regular or typical work schedules, creating a schedule tailored to meet your specific needs will likely better serve your family than would the “default” schedule under the Guidelines. Should parents request court intervention to determine a parenting time schedule, parties would be well advised to keep in mind that judges will only be as knowledgeable about the details of your daily schedules based upon the evidence presented at trial as time permits.

Therefore, there are a number of benefits to reaching an out of court agreement, including but not limited to, keeping work-related child care expenses low and allowing for added flexibility for holiday traditions or family vacations. When parties are able to communicate and cooperate on these matters it is a win-win for all involved.

We recognize that such is not always possible. In the event you are unable to reach an agreement and you must litigate the issue, Indiana Courts consider a number of factors in determining an appropriate custodial and parenting time arrangement. Factors considered in determining what may be in the child’s best interest with respect to physical custody include: which parent has served as the primary caregiver; the child’s age and sex; the wishes of the child and the parties; the child’s relationship with each parent, siblings, and others; the child’s adjustment to their home, school, and community, the mental and physical health of all involved; among other various considerations.

At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., our team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs.

Homes sales down 3.5 percent Commentary by Jim Litten Pended home sales are gaining momentum in Central Indiana. Although February 2016’s data shows pended sales were real estate down 3.5 percent compared to this time last year, January 2016 sales had been down 9.5 percent.

Available inventory continues to tighten across the region, while average sales prices grew modestly by 2.7 percent, now at $171,932.

Hamilton Co. saw decreases in all categories – average sales price, available inventory and pended sales. In February, the average sales price was down 0.3 percent to $268,678, listings declined by four houses, and pended sales dipped 16 percent compared to this time last year. • In Westfield, the average year-to-date home sale price stayed relatively flat compared to this time last year, now at $309,498. • Inventory moved at a slightly slower pace in Westfield in February 2016. Overall, homes sold in 85 days – five more days than this time last year.

• Buyers in Westfield had more options available to them. Last month, 224 homes were available for sale – an increase of 30 homes compared to February 2015. • Pended home sales have slipped in Westfield. In February 2016, 58 homes sold – a decline of 23 homes compared to February 2015. • Of the pended home sales in Westfield last month, one was priced above $1,000,000; nine were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 19 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 15 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; and 14 were priced $100,000 to $199,999.

The Spring buying season will heat up the market, but the low level of inventory will keep demand in check. As this trend continues, it’s more apparent average sale prices will only continue to rise.

Blueprint for Improvement: Brighter kitchen, bigger dining Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions:

After

The goal was to create a brighter, larger space in which the homeowners could enjoy cooking, dining, and entertaining.

1. The existing perimeter cabinets were painted white, and the hood was replaced, updating the look.

2. Removing the large bulkhead above the island allowed a more open feel and the installation of pendant lights.

3. The new dining room addition mirrors an extended bay on the other side of the home seamlessly.

4. The large, custom windows bring so much light into the space, which extends into the adjacent sitting area.

5. New white, custom built-in shelving and an update to the stone fireplace create a cozy, inviting feel.

6. The space was completed with accent cove lighting, and custom glass cabinet inserts.

Before Background info: These homeowners recently relocated to this 21-year-old home in the Queens Manor neighborhood from their California home.

They knew they wanted to do some updating, while still matching the classic structure and wood trim throughout the home.

Before problems:

Larry Greene is the owner of Case Design/Remodeling. You may e-mail him at lgreene@caseindy.com. To see more before and after pictures of this project, visit caseindy.com/blog.

The existing space appeared dark and bulky, with a lack of space for a decent dining table.

For a combined kitchen/dining/living space, it was definitely too small. It was not a pleasant space to spend time in or entertain guests.

The Great Sphinx, having the head of a man and the body of a lion, is the world’s largest monolithic statue. Carved in the limestone in the quarry from which the stones of the Great Pyramids were mined, the body is 241 feet long and the top of the head is 66 feet above the floor. For thousands of years, the body was covered with desert sand, creating the image of a disembodied head sometimes mistaken for an Egyptian goddess.

Despite its size, no Egyptian records mention the Great Sphinx and archaeologists are not sure when or why it was created. One popular theory is that the Sphinx honors Pharaoh Khafra, who ruled Egypt in about 2500 B.C. and whose pyramid, the second largest in Egypt, is nearby. Supporters of this theory believe the once-painted head is that of

Khafra. Others claim the Sphinx was sculpted before Khafra, who discovered it buried in the sand and ordered his pyramid built alongside it. In 1932, American physic Edgar Cayce reported a vision revealing the Great Sphinx was built in 10,000 B.C. by survivors from Atlantis.

That same year Cayce predicted that we would learn in 1958 that the Great Pyramids were built by workers somehow able to float their enormous stones in the air.

A 15th century Arab historian reported that the nose of the Sphinx was pried off by a Sufi Muslim outraged that locals were praying to the Great Sphinx for a successful harvest. But Giza guides have long claimed that cannon balls fired by Napoleon’s soldiers shattered the nose.

Sketches made before the birth of Napoleon show Sphinx without his nose. Case closed.

Quick fix for tired feet – A quick way to perk up tired feet is with an ice massage.

Fill the bottom of a basin, or a corner of the tub, with one layer of ice cubes. Sit down and rub your feet over the ice cubes. Continue massaging until your feet feel better or until the ice melts. Then dry them and apply some lotion.

Shaving cream for carpet stains – Shaving cream, the plain white, foamy kind, can be used to treat a variety of carpet stains. Spray the shaving cream onto a spot and let it sit for about 15 minutes. Use a soft scrub brush and gently rub the cream into the stain. Dampen a cloth with vinegar and water and blot the stain. Continue blotting until all the cream is picked up and the extra water is absorbed.
