Flood zones serve dual purposes

By Janelle Morrison • news@currentzionsville.com Last weekend’s significant rainfall amounts produced the first flood of the year and prompted flood warnings and advisories throughout Boone and neighboring counties. Local residents gathered off of South Elm Street bordering Lions Park to get a look at the rising water.

At the peak, the depth reached several feet deep, transforming the park into a temporary retention pond. Other low-lying areas, including the Zionsville Golf Course and other area parks and trails, also were affected by the heavy rains that resulted in high-water roadway advisories.

Al Smith, assistant supterintendent for maintenance services at the Zionsville’s Parks and Recreation Dept., explained that recreational areas, such as Lions Park and the Zionsville Golf Course, were knowingly built in established flood zones. These areas were unusable for most types of development but were ideal for parks, trails, tennis courts and other similar uses.

“The job of these areas is to act as flood plains,” Smith said. “The water has to go somewhere, and these plains are satisfying their main job.”

The golf course and parks were built with dual purposes in mind, assuming that most of the year the residents would be able to enjoy the use of these lands recreationally, and when compromised by flooding, they would assist in protecting neighboring properties. Recent dam-

age reports to the parks and golf course were minimal because they are closed for the season.

The Parks and Recreation Dept. maintains many of the area’s public parks and trails, however, Lions Park, privately owned by the Zionsville Lions Club, relies on its members and community volunteers to assist in debris removal, erosion control and replenishing the landscaping, as necessary.

Lions Club members are joining in the cleanup efforts.

“We organized a clean-up event at Lions Park with the assistance of the members and the Leo Lions on last Wednesday,” Leigh Ann Akard, Lions Club president, said.

These efforts are on-going to ensure the continued safety and enjoyment of visitors to the park.

Considering my ZCS awarded $787,200 grant for teacher pay plumbing options news@currentzionsville.com

Commentary by Ward Degler This is for all you guys who flatly refuse to call for help when it comes to anything in home repair. And for your wives as they roll their eyes every time it happens.

I count myself among the former and my wife among the latter. In my case it involved installing the new toilet as part of the bathroom overhaul that I wrote about last week.

Everyone knows installing a toilet is a piece of cake. I’ve done it numerous times. And the new one came with easy step-by-step instructions. I could have done it blindfolded.

That is until I tried to bolt the bowl to the flange in the floor. Every time I lined up the holes in the toilet with the bolts in the flange, they slipped out.

Fact: There is nothing stickier than the beeswax ring used to seal a toilet. Naturally, the flange bolts go right through it. So, each time they slipped out I had to clean off the wax.

By the third time – or maybe the fourth – I was covered with gooey beeswax. Trust me, soap and water won’t touch it.

Finally, in desperation, I removed the toilet completely for a closer look. That’s when I discovered the flange was cracked.

My choices were simple: (1) Cut the soil pipe and install a new flange – a three-hour job. (2) Tweak the old one just enough for the bolts to hold. Or, (3) Call a plumber and pay through the nose for a job that I could do blindfolded.

Naturally I tweaked it, tightened the bolts ever so gently, and tiptoed out of the room. Job done.

But I suspect there may be an IOU just waiting for me down there.

On Jan. 10, Zionsville Community Schools was awarded a $787,200 grant for teacher performance pay. This is the second teacher pay grant awarded to ZCS and brings the total grants awarded to more than $1.15 million for 2013 and 2014.

Dr. Scott Robison, Supt. of Zionsville Schools, was thrilled with the announcement.

“I am extremely proud of the team members, and their leader, Jenny Froehle, who achieved their goals in seeking outside funding to implement the pay for performance aspect of the new law regarding teacher compensation,” Robison said. “This second grant success in two tries will yield more than a million dollars across two years for teacher merit pay.”

New legislation, passed in 2011, directs how school districts evaluate teachers and assign teacher compensation. Schools could meet the requirements of the new state law regarding teacher evaluation either by adopting the Indiana Dept. of Education’s teacher evaluation model (RISE), adopting another approved national model, or developing a model of their own.

In the fall of 2011, ZCS studied these options and chose to adopt RISE for its initial year under the new law. RISE requires multiple classroom observations and conversations about instruction and assessment data with teachers each year, requiring them to set goals

At the Board of School Trustees meeting last Monday night, Dr. Scott Robison recognizes Jennifer Froehle for her efforts in obtaining the RISE grant.

for student achievement and growth on state and locally developed assessments.

A working committee made up of Robison, Froehle, and staff Greg McDaniel, Sean Conner, Christine Squier and Matt Mulholland was responsible for filing the grant with RISE. “Thanks to all the members of the ZCS leadership team and teachers who have implemented our new evaluation system with professionalism and a positive attitude,” Froehle said.

This grant was specificially designated by the state for performance pay to augment the teacher merit pay pool and will not affect the general operating budget nor relieve the rainy day or referendum funding.

Plain Talk

Focus on position not person Commentary by Julie Osborne Recently, I have received letters from many of you, which makes me happy to know that you are reading your paper and also taking time to respond and create dialogue in the community about these important issues. I have, however, noticed a trend where some letters have moved from being focused on the issues to becoming an attack on a person. Also, I receive A LOT of very long story submissions, many longer than our cover stories. While we would like to include your entire narrative, we have space limitations, so I kindly request that you keep your letter to 200 words, otherwise, we will not be able to print it.

This idea of focusing on position, not person, has been simmering in me for a while and was brought home clearly in a session I attended on Tuesday in the Indiana State House with Justice Steven David of Indiana’s Supreme Court. At a Boone County leadership workshop sponsored by the United Way, he shared how Indiana’s Supreme Court is a diverse group with varying positions on issues but how they work together civily, despite their differences. “They are not my friends, they are my family,” David said. He also shared some advice, “Be confident in your position but not unwavering. Focus on what you don’t like about the position, not the person.”

Feel free to continue to send the letters, but can they just be a little shorter and focused on the is-

sues, please? We at Current like all feedback but tend to only hear the negative. You can send the good stuff, too! Thanks for reading and writing.

Now that I have help on the writing front now, care of our new freelance general assignment reporter, Janelle Morrison, I am off and wandering again ...

Last week, and every week since I’ve been in Zionsville, I made a stop at Eagle Creek Coffee Co. Before the holidays, I fell in love with the peppermint-flavored coffee but, alas, it’s gone. I predict a coffee tasting in my near future.

By the way, Doug Starks, one of the owners of Eagle Creek Coffee Co., has been kind enough to allow us to leave extra copies of the Current in Zionsville on his newspaper rack, so help yourself.

Also, I plan to spend more time at Eagle Creek on a regular basis and will let you know my new “office hours” soon. I look forward to getting to know more of you in the community and enjoying a cup of coffee together. Cinnamon creme is my new favorite with many more to taste!

Cover Story

Safety, legislation, and collaboration all top the agenda for ZCS in 2013

By Julie Osborne • julie@youarecurrent.com With students back in the classroom and the new year in full swing, school leaders are excited and ready for the year ahead. School safety, new legislative initiatives and collaborative efforts fill the agenda.

“By far the most important is school safety,” newly appointed board of school trustees president Jim Longest said. “We have robust procedures and technology in place to maintain a safe environment for our students and faculty, but as we have seen in the news, we can never be complacent in those Longest systems.”

New and continuing safety measures include: consultation with security experts, continuing collaboration with local law enforcement, all doors being locked with electronic entry systems, and school safety specialists, committees and drills.

Dr. Scott Robison, Superintendent of Zionsville schools, added: “This board is vigilant about school safety. The full array of devices and personnel deployed by ZCS for student Robison and staff safety will remain a confidential matter so as to maximize the effectiveness of our school safety efforts.”

Legislative initiatives

Legislation at the state level also is at the forefront of discussions with two bills that would have a direct impact on Zionsville’s school programs and funding. One bill, the Performance-Qualified School District resolution, was spearheaded by a committee of superintendents from Boone and Hamilton counties, including Robison. Last week, State Sen. Mike Delph introduced, Senate Bill No. 189, which would allow the Indiana Dept. of Education to grant the state’s top school districts a special designation to provide added flexibility to eliminate restrictions and allow for more creativity. One example which would simplify procedures at ZCS is electronic days, where teachers teach via the Internet, which currently requires a state waiver but would not under the new designation.

Delph “This is a reform proposal 8 | January 22, 2013

to empower teachers, administrators, staff and the school board to take more control over their academic agenda,” Delph said. “In the past, we’ve focused on the underperforming schools and poor performing schools in education reform, and we’ve pushed school systems like Carmel and Zionsville, those that always exceeded goals, to the side.”

Senate Bill No. 189 is being heard by a state

Bill 189 Enables Performance-Qualified school districts to: • Develop its own curriculum • Create multidisciplinary projects focusing on a single subject or concept • Design its own teacher and staff evaluations • Bypass state regulations for most talented students • Create its own plan for career and technical training • Focus on instructional minutes rather than current 180-day requirement

education committee and, if the bill passes, will go into effect July 1.

Another legislative initiative which would impact Zionsville schools and the community involves funding. With the implementation of tax caps in 2009, millions of dollars of funding were lost, although some relief arrived with the May 2012 referendum, which taxpayers approved to provide $4.7 million to ZCS for each of the next three years. A new resolution, passed by the ZCS Board of School Trustees on Dec. 10, 2012, requests the Indiana General Assembly to reevaluate the funding formula as ZCS receives one of the lowest per pupil funding in the state, $4,414 per pupil compared to, for example, $4,593 per pupil for Hamilton Southeastern Schools. Under the current state formula, ZCS would continue to receive less funding per pupil than in 2003 if Zionsville school leaders did not take action with this new resolution.

Collaborative Efforts

As collaboration efforts with other school districts have proven effective with Bill 189, partnerships in the town also are moving the ZCS agenda forward. The largest school collaboration effort is with the Town of Zionsville over the Dow Chemical Co. property located along 106th Street east of Zionsville Road. ZCS has approved purchasing 100 acres using existing funds bonded in 2005 which are restricted by the state for a warehouse/maintenance facility.

This facility is planned to occupy 10 acres with the remaining acreage being developed by the town.

Returning school board vice-president Jane Burgess is excited about the partnership.

“By collaborating with the town in developing the acreBurgess age, one long term benefit to

Current in Zionsville

Zionsville Community Schools will be the creation of new commercial assessed value which will diversify our tax base, so it’s a ‘win-win,’ ” she said.

Collaborative efforts continue on a smaller scale with discussion groups composed of town and county leaders known as “pow wows.” These informal discussions often bring new ideas and spark unexpected partnership opportunities as different groups in the town come together to discuss topics that impact all.

One example involved police and fire personnel who were interested in rising population data for future planning and staffing. ZCS is conducting a demographic study that might be helpful to this group and others outside the school. This study, being conducted by the Indiana Business Research Center at Kelley School of Business, will provide data on the affects of enrollment gains on budgets, facilities, and redistricting and will be a road map for the future and will address immediate needs such as overcrowding.

“This information is so important for the school board in determining how to move forward. Last spring was a massive focus on just getting enough funds to not lay off teachers.

Now we need to look at the numbers because of new development, and the board has to make determinations on where to place students where we are now overflowing,” Robison said.

While there is no talk of building additional schools, there is discussion of converting Boone Meadow to an elementary school to relieve overcrowding at other schools, such as Stonegate Elementary.

2013 Initiatives • School safety and security • Collective bargaining with new merit pay structure • RISE evaluation protocol (See page 5) • Curriculum, instruction, and professional development • Legislation to establish Performance Qualified School Districts • Legislation to change funding formula to increase funding to ZCS • No new debt/financial strategic planning • Continued collaboration with town and county • Population rebalancing/redistricting • School calendar • Technology matters in instruction • Enrollment growth • Infrastructure maintenance/repair • High school roof • Tennis • Ongoing timely repairs www.currentzionsville.com

Flu Season

It is our position that the flu epidemic should be taken seriously. This influenza season, 21 Hoosiers have died from flurelated illnesses. A flu shot is recommended for everyone six months old and above, in particular children, the elderly and those with compromised immune systems should be vaccinated. If you are diagnosed with flu, stay home for the exception of seeking medical treatment. Germs are easily spread in the workplace, church, school, grocery stores, shopping malls and other public places.

It is also particularly important to practice good hand hygiene to assist in preventing the spread of germs. According to the Centers for Disease Control, hum the “Happy Birthday” song from beginning to end twice while washing your hands if you need a timer. Cough and sneeze into a tissue and then throw the tissue away. Clean and disinfect surfaces and objects that may be contaminated with germs like the flu.

While not scientifically proven as a cure for the flu, a home remedy in the form of Matzo ball soup from your favorite delicatessen is guaranteed to at least warm the soul if you are battling the sniffles. For more information on seasonal influenza, visit www.cdc.com/flu.

Dark and stormy Commentary by Terry Anker “It was a dark and stormy night.” No wait. “It was a very dark and very stormy night.” Charles Shultz’s beloved character, the beagle named Snoopy, would begin banging out on his vintage typewriter as he sat atop his doghouse and imagined himself to be the great American novelist.

The canine boasted a highly developed sense of imagination routinely assuming the mantle of a World War I flying ace or erudite academic attempting to bring along his hapless, if loyal, friend the yellow bird, Woodstock.

Certainly he showed great devotion to his owner, Charlie Brown, and spirit of joy whenever it was supper time, oh supper time, but Snoopy always impressed me in his willingness to jump into everything he did with both feet. It didn’t work out every time. In fact, it often didn’t proceed as planned, but he found the courage and optimism to charge ahead boldly, seemingly unaffected by the concerns of Woodstock or the admonishments of his nemesis Lucy Van Pelt.

If every fantastic journey begins with a step and every great book begins with a single sentence, then why is it that we so resist making an initial move? Does fear of dashing our own self-created expectations prevent us from ever trying in the first place? Or can we legitimately point to those around us for creating an environment wherein we fear error so much that no action is pursued? Snoopy may have never managed to produce the great American novel but his willingness to try (and fail) helped make him an icon.

There is little room today for error. We fear costly mistakes and routinely sacrifice our personal freedoms grasping at an elusive world without risk. Can a responsible person push the boundaries of self-definition? Maybe we should ask, how can we not?

Imagination is the highest kite that one can fly.

With Mike Pence’s inauguration as the 50th governor of Indiana only just concluded, the Columbus Republican launched headlong into signing a series of executive orders. While seeking to replace outgoing Gov. Mitch Daniels, Pence campaigned strongly on a platform favoring job creation and economic growth, which we heartily endorsed. And so with the ink on his new business cards barely dry, what did he do to further that effort? He put forth a budget that aims to achieve on his promises while reducing taxes. We like that. The budget keeps spending a full percentage point below inflation, and we like that, too, although we’d prefer deeper cuts – but this is a work in progress. In addition, the budget maintains adequate reserves to protect us against further economic downturn.

His budget aims to invest $18 million, though, across two years for adult workforce improvement, and reduce personal income tax by 10 percent. His office stated: “This will put $500 million directly back into the Hoosier economy and permanently reduce the tax burden on most small and mid-sized businesses and family farms. The move will let Hoosiers keep more of their hard-earned dollars to save, spend or invest as they see fit,” which is exactly as it should be.

We consider his effort at fiscal management a laudable start, but it’s only a start. We’d like to see his subsequent efforts be even more aggressive on reducing spending; it’s an initiative that’s never too late to initiate.

Parenting as celestial payback Commentary by Danielle Wilson You know what I find annoying? The way people without children criticize parents. As if they even have a clue about what they are saying!

But you know what I find hilarious? The way those same people always end up being the craziest parents around.

Take one of my good friends. She’d frequently make snide comments about my parenting: “You spoil your kids;” “You need to relax more;” “You shouldn’t be freaking out over daycare.” Most of the time it was all in good fun, but occasionally she’d touch a nerve. And let’s be honest, no mother wants to be told (even if it’s true) that she’s not doing a good enough job. Until you’ve been in the trenches yourself, keep your mouth shut!

Well, folks, my friend had her first baby a few months ago, and after having spent a few days with her new little family, I am thrilled to report that she did not escape celestial payback for her pre-pregnancy words. She has become the classic first-time mom, complete with anal-retentiveness out the wazoo, hypochondriacal tendencies that result in absolutely no one being able to touch her daughter without CDC biohazard clearance, and a child who has no self-soothing abilities whatsoever because she is never allowed to cry. Love it!

Seriously, I can’t tell you how much pleasure I take in watching her do the exact same things

she used to criticize me for, and consequently, suffer a tiny bit because of it. She and her husband still can’t figure out how their DINK lifestyle slipped out the back door without so much as a good bye. Ooh, I know! They spend an inordinate amount of time in the bottle preparation department (short of an actual autoclave, I’m not sure they could get those things any more sterile), hold the baby 24-7, and rely too heavily on the Internet and lunatic bloggers for their decision-making. Basically, she does the same idiotic, controlling things Doo and I did when we had our first.

I love my friend, and she is truly a fantastic mom. But thank you, Karma/Fate/Mother Nature/Whoever for making my year! She finally understands how difficult parenting is, and how important receiving love and support from everyone, even those without children, is to surviving the adventure that is motherhood.

So to those of you not yet calling yourselves a mommy or daddy, be careful what you say.

What goes around comes around, and this time, it’ll involve diaper rash and lactation consultants. Peace out.

Humor

I should have waited Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

Now that the holidays are over, all the really good bargains are starting to appear on TV, especially on the cable networks. I’m a little skeptical of some of the products, but you’d have to be crazy not to buy the NordicTrack Silver Dollar Pancake Pan, which not only makes perfect flapjacks every time, but can also be used as a spare fly wheel for your exercise bike.

Here’s an item that seems too good to be true: an ear wax vacuum for only $9.95, plus the second one is free (we do have two ears): just pay shipping and handling. You have not heard about this? IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOUR HEARING? If so, you definitely need one. At first, I wasn’t going to buy it, but then I saw a guy on the commercial trying to use a Q-tip in his ear and suddenly he started screaming in pain. It scared the heck out of me. I was also very impressed that the device had 16 tips with different colors for each family member. Of course, if you have a household with that many children, someone in the marriage is having a hard time hearing, “Enough, already.” Mary Ellen was annoyed that I fell for their sales pitch. She said vacuuming my ears should not be a priority when I haven’t run the Hoover under my

computer desk in four years.

The Stretch Genie also looks like a great idea. For just $7.95 you get a spray that expands leather and some synthetic fibers. You put it in your shoe and it goes from a C to a D. I think someone was spraying this stuff on my report card back in grade school.

Over the years I have been very complacent about the lint in my appliances, so when I saw the Lint Lizard for sale, I was intrigued.

This device easily attaches to your vacuum and then sucks the debris out of your clothes dryer vent. I rushed to order it and when I opened the package you can imagine my disappointment when it was exactly the same product as the Ear Vac. My big mistake was ordering so quickly, because when I checked the Internet the next day, I saw this testimonial: “The tubing is too stiff. It does not fit into the lint filter.

The tubes fell apart. I never got out a single clump of lint. I will happily give my Lint Lizard to anyone who wants it.” Rats! I could have gotten a free one.

Andy Newell

Casey Harshbarger

By Mark Johnson • mark@youarecurrent.com Drummer Ben Williams remembers clearly a life-changing moment.

“I was 16 years old, and a friend of mine came by my house,” he said.

“He had his car window down and he was playing ‘Sunshine of Your Love’ by Cream. And I just remember hearing that song and thinking that I had never heard a song with a drum so deep and such a cool riff. It really opened my ears, opened my mind, opened my eyes. I went out and bought a Cream album that day!”

In the two decades since that musical revelation, Williams, a Noblesville resident, has never lost focus on music, never ceased to build on that musical legacy, nor closed his eyes, ears, or mind to the possibilities of new frontiers in music.

“After I started listening to Cream, I wanted to find out all I could about [Cream guitarist] Eric Clapton,” he said. “Through Clapton, I got into Hendrix and Led Zeppelin. I got books on all those artists. I wanted to know everything there was to know about them. That was when I came across Robert Johnson.”

Johnson, the legendary and enigmatic bluesman, of the 1920s and ‘30s, continues to influence Williams to this day. As members of the blues/rock power trio, the Warrior Kings, Williams, guitarist Casey Harshbarger, and bassist Andy Newell wove that influence into their self-titled, debut disc. The track, “Robert Johnson’s Revolver,” is a direct homage to the iconic blues figure.

“That song is really about a traveling bluesman and all of the dangers he would face on the road. A lot of them would carry revolvers 12 | January 22, 2013

Warrior Kings on a mission of music for protection, to keep them from getting stiffed, or getting robbed,” Williams said.

Moreover, that song is part of a larger metaphor for the struggles and challenges that people face in contemporary times.

“The lyrical themes deal with the life of an everyman,” Williams further explained. “Topics of love, lust, war, carnage and the need to understand the hard questions, and even the hard answers this world gives us.”

Yet, the beginning of the Warrior Kings is not a story of challenges or adversity, but rather a coming together of like-minded individuals.

Williams and Harshbarger were introduced when both were playing at Northview Church in Carmel.

“I just pulled out my guitar and played a song for him, and he really liked it. We just knew right away that we wanted to form a band together,” Williams said. “We’re the same age, we have the same taste in music, we’re both fathers with two children. We have a great working relationship. And Andy is the icing on the cake. He’s a real prodigy. For such a young guy, he is really in demand! He stays busy!”

Benjamin Williams All three shared one key element: the desire to push musical boundaries with blistering blues, rock and jazz blending seamlessly into loose jams and tight playing.

“The album to me is a new twist on the fusion of the blues, rock and the psychedelic,” Williams said of the disc. “We wanted to avoid cliché and predictability … That’s why we dig playing live. We are always looking to outdo each other. When we jam, we turn a four minute song into a seven or eight minute song. It’s not monotonous. One of our goals is to do a live album.”

Harshbarger and Williams both give music lessons and want to pass on that knowledge of and hunger for music, just like the older guys passed it on to them.

“We are on a mission to please the listener’s ear. We want to continue the blues/rock, and we believe our music has the power to do it,” Williams said. “My hope is the formula changes that people aren’t afraid to challenge their minds, branching out into new music. Going out listening to bands perform new music and perfect their craft, there’s nothing like it.”

Doctors, nurses and children cut the ribbon opening Community Hospital North’s new Pediatric Intensive Care Unit last Tuesday. (Photo submitted)

Community Hospital North opens new Pediatric Intensive Care Unit news@currentzionsville.com Community Hospital North officially opened its new Pediatric Intensive Care Unit last Tuesday. The expansion increases access to critical care services for Central Indiana children.

An extension of Community North’s 20room children’s unit, the PICU is a state-ofthe-art critical care unit that provides advanced, life-saving treatments and technologies that help provide care for infants, children and adolescents who become severely ill or injured. It is the only location on the Indianapolis northeast side offering critical care for children.

The PICU team is led by Vin Gupta, M.D., who is board certified in both pediatrics and pediatric critical care medicine through the American Board of Pediatrics. According to Gupta, the new unit will allow physicians to treat children with acute illnesses, serious infec-

tions, drug overdoses, severe seizures, diabetic complications, or those involved in an accident or a near-drowning incident.

“Utilizing equipment designed to meet the size-specific needs of the pediatric patient, our physicians are dedicated to the care of our hospitalized children,” he said.

Community North’s President Barbara Summers said the growing amount of pediatric services the hospital offered represented its mission to serve the northern Indianapolis region.

“It is important that we provide opportunities for patients and families to stay in the community,” Summers said. “Families facing the stress of having a critically ill child will no longer have the added burden of long, expensive commutes.

This is one more way we can help keep our sickest children close to home while receiving the best care available in our region.”

INSIDE & OUT

Indoors

Creating a beautiful bathroom in a small space Commentary by Larry Greene ORIGINAL BATHROOM: This home is located in the Irvington neighborhood on the east side of Indianapolis and was built in 1941. The current owners are the third owners. The property is the original farm in Warren Park, a four-block radius neighborhood near Irvington. According to the homeowner, “The bathroom is tiny and the prior owners had installed bypass sliding doors on a very high tub. I broke my foot over the summer and struggled to use the shower. We knew we needed a lower tub and more countertop space.”

DESIGN PHASE: Maximizing storage in a relatively small footprint was the main design goal for this bathroom. By reworking an adjacent closet, space was able to be added to the bathroom. Tower cabinetry allowed the use of the vertical space. Material selection and overall style reflected the desires of the client. “When I was in Italy, I saw gorgeous marble bathrooms and I knew I wanted one for myself,” the homeowner said. “Our designer suggested the curved vanity.

I like angles, and wanted an old-world feel to the bathroom - a vintage modernized look. That is where the idea for the curved vanity came from.”

FAVORITE FEATURES: The owner commented, “The marble tile is the star of the show in this re-

On the floor, 1-inch Hampton Carrera hexagon tiles were laid in a straight pattern. According to the homeowner, “I really like the flooring in the new bathroom. During design, large tiles on the floor just did not seem to fit. The small tiles are juxtaposition to the large tiles on the shower wall.”

FINAL RESULT: “When I walk in to the bath-
