City officials said the event marked the beginning of the next phase for Grand Park, as fields have been graded and underground infrastructure installed. The next phase of the project includes installation of a pedestrian tunnel and field irrigation along with stone laid for all parking lots and multi-use paths that run throughout the park’s 350 acres. The open house included interactive exhibits and a virtual video tour, bus tours showcasing the various sections of the park, complimentary hot dogs from Zacky’s Hotdogs and other refreshments, and free tethered balloon rides.

Utilities

Council approves utilities sale to Citizens

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com The Westfield City Council voted 6-1 to transfer its water and wastewater assets to Citizens Energy Group for $91 million on Nov. 5. Mayor Andy Cook said the sale was a way for the city to pay off $45 million in water utility debt. The remaining amount will be used to assist Westfield’s transition into a growing city with roundabouts, trails and other infrastructure needs.

“This is a measureable part in the history of Westfield. It has not come around easily. The easiest thing is to do nothing, but that’s not what this council is known for. Endeavors like this are done with one thing in mind – what’s best for the city in the long term,” said Cook.

“This is just the beginning, we’ve got a lot more to do. It’s been a long road, but it’s the right thing to do.”

Council member Cindy Spoljaric cast the only dissenting vote, stating she was concerned about the one-time influx of cash and loss of city assets.

Spoljaric “It’s not in our best interest at this time,” she said.

Prior to the roll call vote, each council member provided their thoughts on the decision.

“It’s time to grow up, time to grow out and time to partner Ake with someone who has greater capabilities then we do as a city,” said Councilman Jim Ake. Councilman Bob Smith said Monday was “the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make.”

Smith said when he first heard about the proposal he was against Smith it, but kept an open mind when looking at the impact the sale could make on lowering tax bills.

“It’s a cash cow for us and we need cash in hard times,” he said. “It’s not an easy vote, not an easy vote at all.”

Like Smith, Councilman Steve Hoover sees the sale as a way to attract businesses and lower the tax rate. He expressed his concern about the city’s position with its projected growth and

needs for infrastructure.

“I had many of the same concerns the public has voiced.

Those questions have all been satisfactory answered for me,” said Hoover. “I view this as a Hoover huge opportunity for the city.”

Councilman John Dippel said the deal “is not a win-win but a win-win.” Fellow Council member Rob Stokes agreed that the negotiations had many points favoring both the city and Citzens.

“It’s a net positive. We could Dippel nitpick every detail but that would take years,” said Stokes.

“As the process goes forward, I want us to a diligent job using these funds.”

Westfield announced in April that it was exploring the idea of transferring the water and Stokes wastewater utilities to a qualified operator. In September, a 45-day public outreach program began that included four public town hall meetings where residents were able to hear from Cook and Citizens Energy Group President and CEO Carey Lykins on the potential transfer.

“We are very excited about the opportunity to expand our service to the growing Westfield

What’s next?

City officials are asking for input from its residents on how funds from the proposed utility transfer to Citizens Energy Group could be directed to infrastructure improvements throughout the city. Of the funds received from the potential transfer, nearly half will be earmarked for infrastructure improvements. Resident can vote on either the city’s Facebook Page or web site, www.westfield.in.gov. community,” said Lykins. “By creating Citizens Utilities of Westfield, an integrated water, wastewater and gas utility, we will provide outstanding customer service as we ensure Westfield has the water supply and utility infrastructure it needs to continue growing.”

With the council’s decision, the proposal now goes to the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission for its approval. Cook said the $91 million will not be paid to the city until approved from IURC, which will have a similar public hearing process. Lykins said that is a lengthy process and could take nine to 12 months. If the sale is approved, the IURC will also approve Citizens’ water rates.

Presidential Pumpkins greet voters at Oak Trace

By Tenna Pershing • editorial@youarecurrent.com

Next using a craft pumpkin, the students and their families decorated the pumpkin in the likeness of their president based on the information they had gathered. The finale was presenting the information to their classmates.

Washington Township voters got a presidential welcome when voting at the Oak Trace Elementary polling site. Fourth grade students decorated the entrance to the polling site with Presidential Pumpkins.

The Presidential Pumpkins were part of a project that tasked each student with researching a president and completing a series of three tasks to focus their research using different mediums (video, article, text).

The students selected one of the 12 presidents – John Adams, William J. Clinton, Andrew Jackson, Thomas Jefferson, John F. Kennedy, AbraStudents proudly display their presidential pumpkins: Brooklyn Carey ham Lincoln, James Madison, (Theodore Roosevelt), Brylee Stubbs (Richard Nixon), Gavin Phares (John Richard M. Nixon, Ronald Adams), Nicky Webb (George Washington), Jacob Bush (Abraham Lincoln), Reagan, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Ty Galyean (Theodore Roosevelt), Mairin McAndrews (Ronald Reagan) Theodore Roosevelt or George and Matthew Penley (William Clinton). (Photo by Tenna Pershing) Washington – to complete their project.

Each student researched and studied their Fourth grade teachers Rose Damiani, Jeni president and created an informational book McAndrews, Sandy Martin and Mary Robison with text features (table of contents glossary were especially excited with how the project chapter headings photos with captions. and came together as this was their first performance their research).

Westfield residents named IU Cox scholars editorial@youarecurrent.com Two Westfield students are among 49 firstyear and returning students at Indiana University who have been awarded Jesse and Beulah Cox scholarships.

Emily Rairdon received a Cox Engagement Scholarship – a stipend for successful participation as Advocates for Community Engagement, working with a community agency to Rairdon help coordinate volunteers and service-learning.

Rachel Knuttel was named a recipient of Cox Research Scholarships, which are awarded to exemplary students who work under the direction of a faculty mentor on research and scholarly activities.

The scholarship program, created with $92 million in gifts to the university from the late

Jesse H. Cox and Beulah Chanley Cox of Indianapolis.The scholarships are awarded to Indiana residents who are academically strong and have a demonstrated financial need. They provide up to 75 percent of the cost of attending IU Bloomington, with students expected to earn the additional 25 percent through work or service.

“The Cox Legacy provides hard-working Indiana residents who are motivated, resourceful and committed to academic Knuttel success with an opportunity to develop their competencies and achieve their full potential,” said IU Bloomington Provost and Executive Vice President Lauren Roebel.

The scholarships are renewable for up to three years for current students and for up to four years for incoming students. To qualify, students must maintain a grade-point average of 3.0 or better.

Wanniger leaves city for American Water – The city of Westfield has lost another department head to Indiana American Water Co. Kurt Wanninger left his position as public works director for the water company in late October. Mayor Andy Cook said a new director or interim director has not been named. Chief of Staff Todd Burtron is overseeing the department in the meantime. “We hope to make an announcement in the next couple of weeks,” Cook said. Last year, Deputy Mayor Bruce Hauk left his post as second in command and accepted a position as the vice president of operations for Indiana American Water Co. He joined the Westfield staff in 2002 as public works director and was promoted to deputy mayor in 2008.

WPD officers explain their jobs and training to citizens

By Robert Herrington • robert@yoaurecurrent.com “This is as real as it’s going to get,” Lt. Mike Seagrave warned members of the Westfield Police Dept's inaugural citizen’s academy.

Locked and loaded, wearing helmets and protective padding, a group of four residents entered a dark hallway trying to locate an “active shooter” who has taken one of their classmates as hostage.

Minutes later shots ring out. Within seconds, you can hear the clicking of empty clips dry fire.

With smiles on their face and adrenaline rushing through their bodies, Westfield citizens returned to the meeting place with blue soap bullet marks on their gear and clothes. Active shooter (like the Columbine shooting, D.C. sniper or movie theatre massacre earlier this summer) scenarios and tactics are taught at the police academy level. When active shooter situations arise, WPD Officer Song Kang told the academy that officers are trained to not wait for SWAT or backup but enter the dangerous situations and encourage the shooter to focus on officers instead of the public.

“We’re crazy. We signed up to do this. We’re lifesavers,” Kang told the group. “It’s an eye-opener for anyone wanting to be a police officer – to get the threat to engage us instead of innocent people.”

Instructors said the purpose of the citizen’s academy is to give the public a glimpse into the lives, training and day-to-day experiences cops face.

“It helps us explain what we are about. They truly understand the type of stress, pressure and split decisions we have to make,” said Kang. “What it is to be a police officer in general.”

Kang, who served as an academy instructor, enjoys the experience of working with the public and creating bonds with citizens.

“We are open. We love showing citizens what we do and how much work we put into our jobs,” he said.

The 10-week program designed to showcase all aspects of the police dept. was coordinated by Lt. Mike Seagrave.

“It’s been fantastic. It’s a very diverse group – age, gender,” he said of the inaugural group. “People now want to come to our next one. It’s better than what we thought.”

Police Chief Joel Rush brought the idea to Seagrave, who then attended national training before planning the academy. Seagrave said his goal is to offer the citizen’s academy twice a year.

12 | November 13, 2012

The inaugural Westfield Police Department’s Citizen’s Academy included students Betsy Fladung, Annie Poynter, Cindy Olson, Jennifer Miller, Mike Miller, Curt Whitesell, Joe Graff, Rob Garrett, Larry Clarino, Pam Clarino, Brad Oliver, Joe Dewing and Dave Mundy; and instructors Lt. Mike Seagrave, Sgt. Mike Siara and officers Tony Howard and Song Kang. (Photo by Robert Herrington)

“It’s a great opportunity. They get a better appreciation for what we do,” he said. “The officers know these folks care and we’re human.”

Seagrave said the academy also provides a chance to better educate residents, which will assist in crime prevention.

“There’s no other environment to ask questions. It’s very open and raw,” he said. “We want to build that relationship with the community. At the end of it, hopefully we’ll have 18 friends of the department. . . and gained another eye on the street.”

Training programs have included traffic stops, police cars and emergency driving, firearm range shooting, crime scene investigation, K-9 demonstration, defense tactics, working with a deputy prosecutor, tour of the Hamilton County Jail, and active shooter.

“Pretty much every type of training we would do,” Seagrave said, adding the group also saw an actual tasering of one of their classmates who volunteered.

Dave Mundy, who works as executive director of learning systems for Westfield Washington Schools, said police officers play an integral part in the safety and security of the district’s students and staff.

“I have a huge amount of respect for what they do,” he said.

Current in Westfield

“Every day they have a life-threatening situation. It’s truly been informative and fun.”

As a citizen’s academy participant, Mundy didn’t know what to expect but has enjoyed each week’s activity.

“It’s been a unique experience. Everyone’s having a good time,” he said, adding that his favorite demonstration was driving the police car. “How often can you go zero to 60 as fast as you can?”

Husband and wife, Mike and Jennifer Miller, participated in the academy together.

“The whole thing fascinates me,” said Mike. “My favorite part is getting to know these guys (instructors).”

“The active shooter was the most sobering,” Jennifer added.

Both said the education they received and firsthand experience to the lives of police officers has been very eye opening.

“They risk their lives trying to do their job every day,” said Jennifer. “This academy has brought to my attention that you don’t know all the details you see on the news.”

“They are very open with us. They know how they are perceived in the public. They signed up for it but it’s not easy,” added Mike. “They let us in. They’re constantly on the lookout, hyper paranoid because of the things they’ve seen in their jobs.” www.currentinwestfield.com

VIEWS

Opinion

Beyond black and white It is our position that community diversity is more than a black and white issue.

While the numbers as a whole may pale in comparison to Caucasians inhabiting the area, our community is slowly but surely becoming more diverse than ever before welcoming dozens of nationalities. Hamilton County is now home to one of the largest populations of Indian and Asian Americans in the state.

In addition to simply interacting with one another, exhibits such as the upcoming, Beyond Bollywood, also help to gain an understanding of one another’s heritage and values. Beyond Bollywood – Indian Americans Shape the Nation is a groundbreaking exhibit exploring the vibrant heritage, daily experience, and diverse political, professional and cultural contributions of Indian immigrants and their descendants to shaping the United States.

The exhibit is being organized by the Indian American Heritage Project of the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Program. The organizers are searching for Indian Americans to be a part of the collective storytelling by sharing photos and stories. The exhibit opens in late 2013 at the National Museum of Natural History.

Perhaps there’s a silver lining out there

The tough questions

Commentary by Terry Anker

“Daddy, what’s rape?” queried the little girl.

This kind of interrogatory sends chills down a parent’s spine. Not only is one concerned about what might have precipitated the attention of the child but one is also maddened by the reality of a world where someone so tender is exposed to something so brutal. No doubt in a world of instant communication, few are spared the spillover effect from a constant and uncensored stream of information.

We can rage against media which brings this into our homes without concern for context. A parent with less than stellar remote control skills, even if attentive, might let some nastiness slip through. Most recently the point was illustrated by a colossally ineloquent pro-life expression from a candidate for high office. Likely referring to the life that comes as a consequence of the rape, the hapless soul actually said “it is something that God intended to happen.” Does anyone, including the speaker, really believe that God intends rape? I

certainly hope not.

With my own somewhat older kids (middle and high school), we were able to discuss whether a friend of theirs who may have been originally conceived through the violent act is inferior to a person begat in love. In our own family straw poll, we unanimously believed that each was valued the same in the eyes of God. On the more thorny issue, our youngest wondered how such a violent act was even possible.

His innocence contrasted the searing reality of anger and dominance. Some people, I suggested to him, have the need to intimidate and control others. It makes them feel powerful, I continued. While words failed me to further explain, he rescued me by observing – those people who do that are just dumb. Perhaps, I thought, but they are certainly broken.

The re-election of President Barack Obama should not be confused with a mandate. His 2.2-percent (as of press time) margin of victory tells us that the majority of voters missed the point: The guy can’t lead. Were he a leader, he would have righted the ship in his first term.

Instead, he made matters left for him by George Bush only worse. Back in 2008, Obama became our “accidental president.” We were a nation gripped with fear after eight years of Bush. It’s proof that success in life, and especially in politics, is all about timing. With all his missteps on many matters domestic and foreign, it stunned us to see him be granted four more years. Back in ’08, there was the financial free-fall and a destroyed Republican brand, among other ills.

Right place, right time. Now, we’ve seen his socalled plan, which he executed his first two years and much to the detriment of the nation. We know the path down which he is trying to lead us. It’s a dangerous one, we believe. We don’t see Obama accomplishing what he wants to, because he has shown he cannot inspire or unite, and that’s what true leadership demands. It also demands full disclosure and transparency. The Bengahzi horror is, in our opinion, as unforgiveable as the shroud of secrecy the White House tried to cast over it. That’s leadership? With the coming gridlock in Congress, we expect not much of anything to improve. Our hope, because of that, is that his vision for America will be curtailed. That is the best for which we can hope at this point. So, in the end, Obama’s leadership deficit now perhaps becomes our ally.

Opinion

Not so bad after all

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

With all the chaos of Superstorm Sandy, I can’t help but think how glad I am to live in Indiana. And that’s saying something, as I am not a native Hoosier. In fact, 15 years ago I had a terrible fight with my husband for dragging me to this, and I quote, “Godforsaken hellhole.”

(Turned out I was six weeks pregnant and raging with hormones. Oops. Sorry, Doo!) The point is, people, I have come to appreciate this fine state for many reasons, not the least of which is the absence of hurricane-blizzards. Indiana may be lacking my home state’s deliciously sinful trifecta of bourbon, horseracing, and tobacco, but it’s still good for a few things.

Like corn. I have never tasted more glorious corn than the freshly picked summer variety from Indiana’s farmland. Add copious amounts of butter and salt, and you have yourself a little slice of heaven. Sure we have one of the highest obesity rates in the country, but that’s not because of the sweet corn.

No, that honor has root in another reason I’m starting to love Indiana. Three words: State. Fair.

Food. I limited myself to a corn dog, elephant ear and large chocolate shake at this year’s festival, but I so didn’t want to. Turkey legs, fried Snicker bars, sausages on a stick . . . you can’t find that kind of high-fat flavor in just any state, ya know!

And how about sports? Sure, I’m not really in to IndyCar, and I could give a rat’s butt about hockey, but Indiana does have some pretty amazing professional teams and hosted a killer Super Bowl party last year. The college teams will always leave something to be desired (especially since the stupid IU men’s basketball team was ranked ahead of my Louisville Cardinals in preseason polls; whatever) but I suppose they’re adequate enough to give just about everybody someone to cheer for. “Boil up an Irish Hoosier!”

Reason number nine for me liking Indiana (I’m skipping a few here, obviously, but I do have a word limit!) has only dawned on me in the last five years or so: We are within a day’s drive of most vacation destinations. This fact is especially significant when one has four children and a dilapidated mini-van with tenuous air conditioning. Plus, our more rural Midwest location will be perfect when the Zombie Apocalypse arrives.

The living dead have to be easier to outrun in a cornfield than in a Manhattan street block, right?

So even though the White River is more like a creek, and we are definitely in the wrong time zone, Indiana still is a great place to live. Peace out.

Drop ‘til you shop Commentary by Dick Wolfsie When I read Consumer Reports, I simply want to know whether a certain camera takes a good photo, or whether a dishwasher will effectively clean the dishes even if I leave some of my wife’s baked lasagna on the plate. Instead, I get a great deal of unnecessary info that I really don’t care much about. Did you know that the camera strap on the Nikon D series is three millimeters thicker than the one on the Olympus TG-820?

That the Amana dishwasher has only four rollers on the bottom rack but a Kenmore has six?

The newest consumer monthly is called Shop Smart ;) and yes, that emoticon is part of the actual title. Honestly, I don’t want the cover of a publication winking at me. Playboy never winked at me and heaven knows it had good reason. It reminds me of a sign I saw in a supermarket window the other day: “Ground Beef.”

Why is that in quotes? It’s really ground beef, isn’t it? Now imagine if the butcher handed the “meat” to you, told you how delish it was … and then he winked.

My favorite article this month was “MoneyWasting Kitchen Gadgets.” This is a helpful Shop Smart (; feature for anyone who has not yet bought a $19.95 pair of onion goggles but might consider them as a last-minute stocking

stuffer for Aunt Mildred. The magazine gives a poor rating to the Williams-Sonoma mango pitter but is strangely silent on the company’s avocado cuber, corn husker and strawberry huller.

This month there was an interesting spread on the hazards of everyday products in your home. For example, aerosol hairspray can cause respiratory problems, although it helps if you don’t spray it in your nose. Also, cetylpyridinium chloride in your mouthwash (like Crest ProHealth) can turn your tongue brown. I’ve been using this product for years, so now every time I pass a mirror I check things out. My wife thinks I’m auditioning to be a guitarist with Kiss.

Finally, I also discovered that cotton swabs can be dangerous. According to the otolaryngologist interviewed, these bathroom essentials can introduce bacteria in your ears. “Hello, Mr. Ear Canal, I’m a Q-tip and I’d like you to meet my friend Strep Tococcus.” I don’t think that really happens, but it would explain all the voices I keep hearing in my head.

Keep on truckin’ Commentary by Mike Redmond

I once owned a house in Sturgis, Mich, which was extremely convenient since I happened to be living in Sturgis at the time.

It was a nice place – three bedrooms, on a nice shady street, with the town’s only surviving elm tree in the backyard. And it had a heated garage that was massive – big enough for two cars, a motorcycle and various pieces of lawn equipment, with enough room left over for a big four-wheel drive diesel pickup truck with dual rear wheels.

I bring up the truck because that’s what I’m looking to buy in the near future. And I bring up the house in Sturgis because its price was approximately half of what it’s going to cost me to buy the aforementioned truck.

The question then becomes, “Are you sure you need all that pickup truck, Michael? Isn’t that showing off? Aren’t you really just fantasizing about making all your cousins envious when you pull up to the next family reunion in a 2012 heavy duty Manlyhauler?”

Well, yes. Also, yes and yes.

I need a lot more truck than I currently own because I’m doing a lot of hauling in one of my

other jobs and my old truck is vastly underpowered. I need something with some oomph, and when I got my old truck no one was offering the Oomph Package. That was okay because I never really hauled anything heavier than garden supplies and the annual Christmas tree. Now I’m carrying actual freight and the truck isn’t happy about it, not in the least. In fact, it is currently expressing this unhappiness by not running.

But I must admit the showoff in me likes the idea of tooling down the road in something massive with a big engine, clearance lights and dual rear wheels. You armchair psychologists can make of that what you will. I will only add that in my life I have also liked the idea of tooling around in a British sports car, so your size compensation jokes don’t work on me.

But boy, is it going to be expensive. Two houses for a truck. That’s a lot. And I wonder if I can handle it without feeling incredibly guilty for being such a spendthrift.

Good Samaritan prepares for holiday season assistance

By Dan Domsic and Robert Herrington editorial@youarecurrent.com

Event Info

Good Samaritan Network is embarking on a herculean task: helping more than 18,000 area families in need have a holiday experience.

Nancy Chance, executive director of Good Samaritan, started assisting families with their holiday needs in 1980. She said in that first year that 397 families were helped – the number of those participating in Good Samaritan’s programs this year is close to 20,000. All county food pantries are seeing record numbers this year, said Chance, adding that the numbers of local students on lunch assistance programs are also rising.

“There’s been a huge increase in free and reduced lunches in the county,” she said.

Chance the assistance is now being sought by middle class families that are struggling with mortgages, utility payments, gas prices and food bills.

“We’ve had a 20 percent increase in the middle class going to pantries this year,” she said.

“Many are visiting for the first time and it’s not something they wanted to do.”

Unfortunately, projections are not encouraging for next year.

“In 2013, we are expecting another 20 percent increase,” said Chance. “We’ve not seen any let up at all since 2008.”

In the past, the Thanksgiving dinner events cost the nonprofit between $10,000 and $12,000. Because the event is expanding to

• Nov. 17: Thanksgiving Basket handouts at the 4-H Grounds • Nov. 22: Thanksgiving Dinner deliveries and Thanksgiving Dinner at White River Christian Church (1685 N. 10th St., Noblesville) from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Sheridan Elementary School (24975 Hinesley Rd.) from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

• Dec. 6 & 7: Volunteers do donation pick-ups and more at 4-H Grounds • Dec. 8: Christmas assistance at 4-H Grounds Sheridan, Chance believes the bill is going to look like $16,000. That’s just Thanksgiving dinner, which is also delivered by sponsor families to those who can’t get out of the house.

Good Samaritan will continue helping people through Christmas day.

Chance said no one gets turned away.

To pull it off, 3,000 volunteers will have donated their time by the end of the year, with 2,000 working on Christmas distribution alone.

There’s some overlap between the numbers, Chance admits, but she said that’s how many physical bodies are needed to make it happen.

“If it wasn’t for the good people in the community and donors, we wouldn’t be able to make it happen,” she said. “We struggle every day to meet the needs.”

Community Health unveils ‘innovation incubator’ Community Launchpad – In an effort to find solutions for patients’ needs, Community Health Network recently announced a new plan to “foster innovation among its employees and external partners” with the new Community Launchpad. The new “innovation incubator” aims to build an entrepreneurial culture among Community Health Network’s physicians, nurses, clinical and administrative staff, according to a press release. It’s also designed specifically to start developing advancements in healthcare, such as services, products and technologies, as well as improving healthcare delivery. “We studied conventional centers of innovation across the country, both in and out of the healthcare industry,” Kyle Fisher, chief strategic development officer for Community Health Network, said in the release. “In the end, we developed our own two-way incubation portal connecting the talent of our employees with the expertise of outside collaborators. This effort will improve services for our patients, while further distinguishing Community as an even more attractive place for healthcare entrepreneurs to partner with and succeed. ” Community Launchpad is focusing on a handful of principles: core business, alliances, intellectual property and ventures. It will be a division of Visionary Enterprises, Inc., the for-profit subsidiary of Community Health Network. For more information on the new initiative, visit eCommunity.com/Launchpad.

Often times when our clients first come to our office seeking divorce they are armed with loads of questions surrounding the divorce process. Child support is an important subject that tops that list of questions. Since 1989 Indiana courts have followed the Indiana Child Support Guidelines. The court uses a Child Support Worksheet to decide how much child support to order.

The purpose of the Worksheet and Guidelines is to establish an appropriate child support amount based on the parent’s ability to pay and allow more efficiency in our courts. Typically, each parent completes a worksheet listing their income and other required information. Each worksheet must be signed by the parent. Income must be verified with documentation of past and current earning.

What factors go in to determining child support?

• The weekly gross-income of both parents • Costs of childcare • Costs of healthcare • Number of nights the non-custodial parent spends with the child(ren)

Pricing expires 11/30/2012.

There are also a few exceptions in which the child support amount can differ from the worksheet, such as extraordinary health or education expenses.

Once Child Support has been established, there are situations in which it can be modified. However, there are certain minimum requirements for making such changes. There are two requirements that must be met in Indiana to petition for a modification: 1) At least 12 months have passed since the date of the last modification and 2) The reduced or increased child support obligation must reflect at least a 20% change (plus or minus). In order to be modified, the changes in circumstances must be "substantial and continuing". A job lay-off or job loss, for instance, is not considered "continuing" as the parent is expected to seek and obtain other employment or to return from lay-off.

Child support can be a complicated computation. Remember, these suggestions are not meant to be legal advice. You should consult a family law attorney to discuss the specifics of your situation.

Beauty under foot

Commentary by Vicky Earley

While area rugs can be art underfoot, much is expected of this form of flooring. At the same time it provides a focal point in the room, an area rug is expected to warm the floor, create cozy conversation areas, provide a splash of color and be the unifying element that ties colors together.

The beauty of a quality area rug can last for many years with the help of proper maintenance.

• When first taken out of the packaging and unrolled, a rug may present bulges that will prevent it from laying flat. This happens when a rug is tightly rolled for shipment. The lumps should disappear in a day or two. If the problem persists, simply place a heavy flat object on top of it overnight.

• A quality rug pad will protect your floor and secure your rug in place. Rug pads not only improve the life of the rug, but they also work to prevent falls by keeping the rug in place and unwrinkled.

• Initially, there will be some shedding of the

• •

wool pile. This is a common occurrence with any wool product and does not reflect on the actual wearability of a rug.

Rotate your rug by 180 degrees four times a year so that wear is even and fading from sunlight is minimized.

Vacuum, vacuum and vacuum to reduce fiber wear. Vacuuming prevents dirt from being compressed deeper into the pile. The frequency of cleaning varies according to the traffic the rug receives. Caked on dirt is difficult to remove, so remove as much soil while still damp to prevent this from happening.

Stains and spills are a fact of life. Never rub the stain, rather gently blot it. Rubbing only forces the stain to penetrate further into the rug If all else fails in cleaning your area rug and you are tempted to break out the chemical cleaner, consider your fiber before you even open the bottle. A wool rug will require different handling from a synthetic product or other natural fibers. Keep your manufacturer’s care information handy.

Removing walls to open up kitchen area Commentary by Larry Greene ORIGINAL KITCHEN: This home is in the Lantern Hills subdivision in Lawrence township on the northeast side of Indianapolis. The standard ranch style home was built in 1961 and included a separate small kitchen, living room and family room.

WHY REMODEL: According to the owner, “I knew I wanted to remodel the kitchen and living room. It had a dark, north-facing kitchen and I wanted to open it up to the living room so we could see the backyard. We had a fairly crowded breakfast nook for dining, and we did not want a formal dining room. There was room to just open it all up into a big great room. We like ranches, and love the neighborhood, so we decided to stay put and remodel to our needs.”

BACKSPLASH DETAILS: The owner chose a 1/4” back-painted glass for her backsplash.

They originally chose a custom color for her backsplash, but they ended up being able to find a standard color, which reduced costs. One key to the beauty of her backsplash was the switch plates. They matched the glass, allowing for a seamless look on the wall.

CREATING NEW FLOOR PLAN & CEILING: A structural engineer was hired to design the beams needed in order to remove the interior walls between the kitchen and living room. The homeowner worked with the design team on the changes in the floor plan. “I feel happy when I wake up each morning and come out to the great room. We never used to use the space, and now that it is so light and bright, we are in there all the time.” Finally, the flat living room ceiling was removed and replaced with a new painted cathedral ceiling.

FAVORITE FEATURES: The owner commented on her favorite features. “The Kohler manual foot faucet is one of my favorite things about the new kitchen. It helps me keep everything sanitary while I am cooking. I also like the quartz counter tops and the white cabinets because they help bring light into the kitchen.”

We use back pack vacuums with HEPA filtration to remove dirt, dust and allergens hidden deep in carpets and upholstery–the perfect solution for allergy season.
