Early morning inferno displaces 20 By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Noblesville firefighters had to battle gusty weather conditions as they tried to put out a house fire in the early morning Feb. 25. The wind-whipped fire also damaged three nearby homes and displaced a total of 20 people. Noblesville Fire Division Chief Rick Russell said firefighters were called about 12:25 a.m. to the residence at 15486 Destination Dr., which was engulfed in flames when they arrived. The occupants, Bradley and Ashlee Wilson, as well as others, were in the home asleep at the time of the fire. Russell said all occupants escaped the residence uninjured. Wind gusts of 16 mph hampered firefighters and caused fire damage to three other homes because of their close proximity within the neighborhood. “All neighboring homeowners and occupants were able to evacuate their homes as well without injury,” said Russell. “As a result of this fire, a total of 20 people were displaced from their homes.” The Red Cross was at the scene assisting the displaced families. Russell said the estimated dollar loss was $350,000 to $375,000 for the four homes. Firefighters have been called out to the Cumberland Pointe BouleDining with a cause – Chili’s restaurant, 16815 S.

vard subdivision three times in the past five years, according to Russell. “The only similarities have been they all originated in the garage,” he explained, adding all three have also occurred in February. “The inside of the garages were not dry walled, and the fire spread rapidly into the homes.” Russell said in two of the three previous fires, wind – which he estimated gusts were 15 to 30 mph – was an issue like it was on Feb. 25.

Engineering Dept. to receive Federal Highway Administration award editorial@youarecurrent.com The city of Noblesville’s Engineering Dept. has been notified its Ind. 32/38 and Union Chapel Road Roundabout Project has been selected as the winner of a 2011 Quality Transportation Award by the Indiana Division of the Federal Highway Administration. This project was named the winner in the category Major New/Reconstruction in an Urban Community. “Our Engineering Dept. is dedicated to providing the most efficient, cost-effective roadways for our city,” said Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear. “I am proud of their hard work and the excellent collaboration we had with the project’s partners. It is rewarding to know the Federal Highway Administration recognizes the value of the Union Chapel Road project with this award.” Union Chapel Road was a five-phase project completed in November. The road was extended from 166th Street to Ind. 32, and was constructed as a four-lane roadway with multiuse trails. To aid in smoother flow of traffic, the Union Chapel Road extension was constructed as a roundabout corridor with roundabouts at 166th Street, Town & Country Boulevard, Pleasant Street, Promise Road and Ind. 32. Union Chapel Road now serves as an additional north/south corridor and helps to alleviate traffic on Ind. 37. The award will be presented during a ceremony at Purdue University today.

Noblesville Common Council Action: Changes to the city’s traffic code What it means: The city has increased the speed limit on Olio Road from Tegler Drive/141st Street to 156th Street from 35 mph to 45 mph. James Road between 196th and 206th streets was also increased to 45 mph. Other changes to the traffic code included three no parking zones on both sides of the road on Douglas Floyd Parkway east of Edgar Way, Jared Court and North Point Boulevard north of 150th Street.

March 9-11, 2012 Indiana State Fairgrounds, Marsh Blue Ribbon Pavilion IndyArtAndAntiques.com

Action: Changes in fee structure for the Noblesville Engineering Dept. What it means: City Engineer John Beery said the department has changed its fee structure for Technical Advisory Committee review. The new fee structure begins at $500 for small projects and ranges to $2,120 for large projects like new subdivisions. “We lowered the fee for small projects and stair-stepped it up with the number of pages,” Beery explained. “It’s a little more equitable for small projects.”

What’s next: In the past, there was only a $1,350 flat fee for any project. The new fees structure replaces the flat fee.

Action: Ordinance to change zoning and adoption of a preliminary development plan for the property at 175 S. Eighth and 656 Cherry streets What it means: The property location will be turned into a city parking lot. Before the construction begins, the area must be rezoned from multifamily residential to residential/government use overlay. The city is also planning to plant decorative trees in place of the required canopy trees. The land for the parking lot was purchased with parking meter fees.

What’s next: Feb. 28 was the first reading of the ordinance. The common council will have its second reading and vote on the ordinance at the meeting next Tuesday.

Expanding to become St.Vincent Fishers Hospital. Opening Spring 2013 13914 Southeastern Parkway Fishers, IN • (317) 415-9000 northeast.stvincent.org

treAt yourself to some “me” time.

A Design for Hope.

A wArm, welcoming chApel is A criticAl component of Any cAtholic hospitAl.

So when plans were put in place to expand St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast (located at 13914 Southeastern Parkway off Exit 10 on I-69) into a 40-bed, inpatient hospital, a great deal of time and effort was dedicated to the chapel’s design. “The chapel plays an significant role in the environment of the holistic healing that St.Vincent is striving to create. This space provides an opportunity for expression of faith or quiet reflection for staff, patients and family members,” said Carl Johnson, senior project architect with BSA LifeStructures. Johnson and his team paid special attention to the form and interior design of the chapel. “The combination of the oval form, cove lit ceiling, wood detailing, symbolic stained glass, and large windows with color-tinted glazing for natural lighting create warmth and vibrancy to the space, he said. “And we collaborated with local glass artist, Claire Fox Acheson of Fox Studio’s, who designed the beautiful stained glass imagery.”

When visitors walk into the new hospital next year, a large stained glass window depicting a “Tree of Life” will greet them. According to Mary Webber, quality assurance manager at St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast, the branches of the “Tree of Life”signify our associates and the hospital reaching out to the community of Fishers. “The holy family is also represented within the design, reminding us of our Catholic heritage and the cycle of life, she said. “We hope patients and visitors will also find their own personal meaning within the imagery.” Webber said a team of St.Vincent associates contributed ideas for the chapel design. The team consulted with Father Dudzinski of St. John Vianney Catholic Church to ensure the appropriate Catholic traditions within the design of the chapel. St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast has held a very close relationship with St. John Vianney since its been open three and a half years ago. “From the stained glass windows, hand-carved furniture, acoustics and the ‘flow’ of the chapel, their ideas were part of it,”said Webber.

Jurisprudence

White sentenced to one year of home detention By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Former Secretary of State Charlie White was sentenced to one year of electronic monitored home detention by Hamilton County Superior Court Judge Steve Nation on Feb. 23. White was convicted of six felony charges, including voter fraud, for casting a ballot in a district in which he no longer lived during the May 2010 primary. Nation sentenced White one year for each of six convictions, which will be served concurrently. He also was ordered to pay a $1,000 fine and must serve 30 hours of community service. White can remain free until his appeal. Nation listened to two hours of testimony and arguments before announcing his sentence. He considered White’s actions as intentional and a “breach of trust to the people.” “There is no question in reviewing the (700 pages of) documents that Mr. White consciously planned to show the condo is where he lived … It’s not a mistake, that was an intentional act,” said Nation. “Because of what he did, I believe he violated the trust of the people who voted for him.” A Hamilton County jury convicted White on Feb. 4 for using his ex-wife’s address to vote in the May 2010 primary and continuing to take a salary from the town of Fishers, even though he had moved out of the district he represented on the Town Council. White’s attorney, former Marion County Prosecutor Carl Brizzi, argued

Cover Story

Construction continues as curriculum changes are on horizon

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com After a summer of construction, hard hats will still be worn around Noblesville Schools’ buildings, but work within the district will not be contained to bricks and mortar in 2012. Supt. Libbie Conner and her central office staff explained the work being done outside and inside the classrooms during her annual State of Connor the Schools presentation to the Noblesville Chamber of Commerce. “We’ve accomplished a lot in the past year, but we’ll continue to look forward,” said Conner. “We are excited about the future.” “The future of Noblesville Schools involves more student collaboration, creativity, communication and critical thinking with you as our future business partners,” Conner said.

Test Results and Curriculum

“Noblesville continues to outpace our Indiana peers (in ISTEP+),” said Melissa Brisco, director of instructional technology and information services. However, Brisco pointed out the growth was not steady. “We’re looking at programs Brisco and practices to see what we are doing,” she said, specifically identifying seventh grade. “In both English and math, we’re not making the progress we should. Our goal as a district is to say at least 90 percent of our students are passing ISTEP+.” At the earliest education level, Noblesville Schools began a full-day kindergarten program this year. Brisco said 534 students are enrolled in the full-day kindergarten, while 233 are taught half day. “We’re laying a very solid foundation for the rest of their education,” she said. In the fall, Noblesville will transform the intermediate school into a second middle school. Annetta Petty, director of curriculum and instruction, said the transitioning to sixth, seventh and eighth grades will allow the midPetty dle schools to provide world-class programs and opportunities for students. “We’ve created a schedule that adds 65 to 70 minutes of core instruction per day for seventh and eighth grade,” she said. “It’s monumental to add an hour (of instruction) into the day.” Other curriculum changes include all eighthgrade students being taught Spanish 1, and rotations including project-based learning, personal financial responsibility and advanced art and wellness. 10 | March 6, 2012

“All contribute to a real leap forward,” Petty said. Petty, who served as Noblesville High School principal until her promotion in August, said the Class of 2011 earned 2,055 college credits, had a county-high 94.8 percent graduation rate and earned $2.5 million in scholarships. As a way to better prepare students for the future, Petty said the district is investigating alternative pathways including Early College Program, Achievement Academies, Career Partnerships/ Internships and College Readiness.

Construction

In 2010, Noblesville residents approved a $63.6 million referendum to support construction at nine buildings. The construction was divided into two phases – renovation at present schools and the construction of a new elementary school. A majority of Phase 1 was completed in August 2011, but additions at NHS and Noblesville Intermediate School are scheduled to be done in July. Bragg “There is more capacity at el-

He added students Phase 1 included 15 separate additions, which added 37 classrooms and renovated 63 classrooms. “There have been no change orders resulting in any additional costs,” said Bragg, adding the upgrades done should save the district money in the long run. “Hinkle Creek, Hazel Dell and Stony Creek (elementary schools) will see Energy Star savings after the first year.” Phase 2, the construction of Promise Road Elementary School, will be completed in August. Bragg said Promise Road, which is estimated to cost $16.2 million, will have a capacity of 750 students – “right in line with other elementaries.”

• Noblesville High School’s 2011 graduation rate of 94.8 percent was the highest in Hamilton County. That compares to Carmel at 94.3 percent, Hamilton Southeastern School District at 93.8 percent, Westfield at 93.2 percent Hamilton Heights at 90.3 percent and Sheridan at 80.2 percent. • Three elementary schools – Hazel Dell, Hinkle Creek and the former Forest Hill – were named Four Star Schools for the 2010-2011 school year by the Indiana Dept. of Education.

The Future

Conner said the district has identified four areas of consideration for future work – Noblesville East Middle School, the Transportation Center, Center Office and NHS. Conner said the present middle school has “real physical issues” that need to be addressed. The Transportation Center, located behind the Central Office, houses 107 buses and needs to be moved for safety issues. “It’s an aged facility and we’ve outgrown it. It needs to be moved off campus,” Conner said. As important as the referendum question was years ago, the Noblesville community should be prepared for the most important decision facing the district – one high school, or two. “We’ve reached capacity at our high school. We have 2,500 students at two buildings,” said Conner. “It’s going to be time very soon for you to make a hard decision and it’s going to be an expensive one.” Conner said if the public’s opinion was to build a second high school, it would take four to five years to construct, with a price tag of approximately $120 million. She added the operating cost for a second high school would approximately be $1 million each year. “We’re growing 200 students a year the last two years. The growth is coming in middle school, not kindergarten,” Conner explained. The other option is to add to the present high school. Conner said the district has expressed interest in the armory, which is located between the high school and Central Office, but the sale of the 10 acres must be approved by federal and state governments.

Editorial More money to D.C.? Simply a horrible idea

School shooting It is our position that after the Chardon High School shooting, we should take threats made via social media posts seriously. We believe parents/school faculty should invite their children to report any tweets or posts they find threatening to an appropriate figure. Students claim the suspected CHS shooter, T.J. Lane, tweeted ominous messages before the shooting on Feb. 27. Past events show the shooters usually leave some sort of message before their rampage. We just need to be vigilant and we can, hopefully, help prevent these massacres. We are unwavering supporters of freedom of speech, but when the lives of innocent children are at risk, isn’t it our duty to take the appropriate action to see lives are spared? We are in no way asking the government to watch over our tweets or Facebook posts. We ask concerned citizens to report any alarming social media entries to the proper authorities. It’s unfortunate people do not have respect for the gift of life. While hindsight may be 20/20, we can learn from these tragedies and make our schools safer. We urge anyone who sees an alarming post to take the appropriate action to help prevent tragedies like the one at CHS.

Raising funds, avoiding embarrassment Commentary by Robert Herrington

I was on the verge of embarrassing my wife at the 2012 Boys & Girls Club of Noblesville Auxiliary Auction. I wasn’t underdressed, nor had a lowered zipper or wardrobe malfunction. Sipping on a mixture of regular and Diet Coke, it wasn’t that I had one-too-many adult beverages. From the outside, I acted perfectly. No, it was what I did with our electronic bidder – or better yet what I was bidding on – that was the cause for the potential embarrassment. The auction featured approximately 100 silent auction items and eight live items. With some of the wealthiest businessmen and families from the area in attendance, the chance of winning any of the live items, like Sullivan’s catering dinner at our house for us and eight of our closest friends, was unrealistic. The winning bid of almost $4,000 was a tad more than a journalist and county employee could afford. Instead, Maggie and I focused on the silent items we thought others would overlook.

A signed Tyler Hansbrough Indiana Pacers jersey was of interest until it reached $420 (it ultimately finished at more than $700). After talking it over, we agreed the money would be going to a worthy and needed cause, so we made some bids. A starting bid, a raise there and pretty soon we had almost a dozen items on our electronic bidder with winning checkmarks or outbid words flashing on it. While I may not have won the Wal-Mart gift card or the White Castle package (this would have ensured my wife’s embarrassment), we did win three items. But more importantly, we had a great time and left happyily knowing the club could provide programs and make renovations from the funds raised that night.

“I am glad that I paid so little attention to good advice; had I abided by it I might have been saved from some of my most valuable mistakes.” – Edna St. Vincent Millay, 20th century Pulitzer Prize winning poet, playwright and feminist Current in Noblesville

As we follow the political theater (nightmarish as it is) that’s unfolding during the primaries and President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign, we’re often stunned the issue of increasing taxes on the wealthy (as defined by the left) appears to center on the arbitrary number of $250,000 for joint tax filers. We believe the real point is being lost in all the rhetoric. Consider: Not a day goes by when we don’t learn of massive fraud and incompetence by our government, the best recent example of which was last week’s revealing of $325 million in Medicare fraud in Texas. We just don’t know how, on any level, anyone can make a case for sending more money to Washington, knowing our federal government’s putrid record for stewardship of our tax money. It will waste the money from the rich just as it wastes the money from the rest of us. So, we ask again: How does it make sense to send one additional penny to the geniuses inside the Beltway? Where is the logic in that? ••• The so-called party of less government, less intrusion and fewer taxes, while in control of both houses and the governor’s office, should have done away with this from Minute One. Indiana is one of 22 states that impose an estate or inheritance tax (or death tax) on its residents. The House has passed the measure to abolish the tax, and as of press time, it was in the Senate’s hands. All that would be left would be for Gov. Mitch Daniels to sign it into law. That would end the punishment of Hoosier families. We hope they’ll do the right thing.

‘Tis the season: Taxes Commentary by Danielle Wilson I, being the frugal know-it-all, decided that instead of paying a certified public accountant my hard-earned dough, I would do the taxes myself. How hard could it be? I’m a math teacher after all, and I’d be saving us something like $600. That was my recent weekend, and here again I slouch, having just spent another four hours oscillating between pulling my hair out and stymieing the urge to drink heavily. (Unfortunately, it’s Lent and I gave up drinking heavily!) Why does filling out a tax return, an annual exercise required of every working American, feel like a combined final exam for forensic criminology and Advanced Placement statistics? Seriously, my desk looks like I’ve just pulled an all-nighter cramming for my dissertation defense with files and folders and fiber bar wrappers and half-emptied cups of stale coffee. Is that a can of Skoal? Oh sweet mercy, I am losing my fashizite! And I’m nowhere near being finished. Even scarier, I honestly don’t even know if I’m doing this correctly. Sure, Turbo Tax walks you through the process step by step, but reconciling what’s on my computer screen with my personal paper jungle of a year’s worth of receipts and forms is a whole

‘nother can of worms. Worst of all, I have a very pronounced “Taxes Owed” in red mocking my every input from the top of the screen. Even after I enter charitable deductions, Doo’s work expenses and individual retirement account contributions, the obnoxious number does not shrink. WHY DOESN’T IT SHRINK? I did make one important discover yesterday, which hopefully will put a dent in that awful figure. Our mortgage company has not sent us a form 1098 for interest paid in 2011 (that’s probably a lie; the form may very well be lying on my desk, perhaps under the Skoal?), and apparently, that’s a huge deduction. So there is hope we won’t end up in a debtor’s prison or on our way to Finland to evade taxes. But I’m not a CPA with years of experience; I am most certainly missing a couple of exemptions and deductions and maybe even a rollover or two. So yes, I might be saving Doo and I some cash, but how much would our CPA have saved us in taxes due? In emotional distress? Whose stupid idea was this anyway? Peace out.

Your thoughts

Story shows challenges and changes Editor, Your article on the Hamilton County Alliance brings visibility to the challenge many nonprofits experience in fundraising, especially during the tough economic times of the last four years. The Alliance promotes the economic vitality of Hamilton County. The communities, county and private sector have all been good partners, but the economy (especially related to the housing/homebuilding industry) doesn’t discriminate. The Alliance has weathered the storm and will be better for it. Your writers did a good job capturing the facts, but that is only part of the story. The economic health of Hamilton County is everyone’s busi-

ness. The Alliance was created to be a convener of public/private interests order to be an efficient and effective team in growing the county’s economy. We believe we have done this, but more work remains. The Alliance, as with many businesses, is changing to reflect new realities. What we are not changing is our overall mission of championing the economic interests of the county (and communities) in a very competitive world. To do that, we need the continuing and growing participation of the private and public sectors. Ron Brumbarger, Hamilton County Alliance Chairman Jeff Burt, Hamilton County Alliance President

Chest pain due to CAD Health by Dr. Blair MacPhail

Chest pain due to coronary artery disease is a very individualized symptom. Some people experience the typical pressure in the midsubsternal area of the chest radiating to the jaw, arms, throat or back, and may be associated with shortness of breath, nausea and vomiting or sweating. Others may have less typical symptoms or nonspecific subtle symptoms, such as extreme fatigue. This is referred to as “silent” CAD and is less common. Women tend to have less typical types of chest pain that involve the back. Risk factors for CAD include diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, family history and tobacco abuse. Modify these risk factors by quitting smoking. Help prevent the development of CAD by aggressively reducing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (through medicine such as statins), exercise and controlling hypertension and diabetes. CAD can present suddenly such as a heart attack, or more slowly, sometimes starting as a symptom with exercise or activity relieved by rest. If someone develops a sudden persistent

chest pain, or associated symptoms, we recommend going to the emergency room of a nearby hospital to obtain a history/physical, electrocardiogram and blood work to rule out a heart attack. Intermittent forms of chest pain or other symptoms can be evaluated with a history/physical and a variety of screening tests. These may include a treadmill testing, or a form of cardiac exercise with intravenous medicine. We often use echocardiogram or nuclear scan to image the heart before and after exercise (or IV infusion of medicine) to make the stress test more accurate. CAD is a common problem and can be prevented in many people. If you are having chest pain symptoms, go for an evaluation. To help prevent CAD, get your cholesterol checked, don’t smoke, maintain a healthy weight/blood pressure and perform some form of aerobic exercise four times a week.

The chicken dance

Motivation by David Cain

When I was a young boy, my sister and I used to get home from school before my parents would arrive. Even though it would only be 4 p.m., we’d eat. My dad, a food pusher, wanted to be sure his kids had something to eat when they got home. Something simple and easy to make that would hold us over until dinner. He was at the local chicken place and, while ordering a bucket of their best, he asked what they did with the extra birds at the close of business. Yep, they threw all those golden delicious fowl in the trash at closing. It was the late 1970s and that’s how things worked. My enterprising, food-gathering father cut a deal with the manager. He said, “Any time you are closing and about to throw away the chickens, call me and I’ll come pick them up.” The calls started sporadically at first. Here and there, the phone would ring at 10 p.m. It was the chicken guy. “Max, you want some chicken?” is all I heard when I picked up the phone as my dad answered. Within minutes, I’d hear the Lincoln Mark IV fire up and depart for the land of deepfried goodness to haul home the booty.

Embarrassed By Your Fungal Nails?

He’d freeze the chicken and, when we got home from school, we’d microwave it. Sounds ridiculously unhealthy as a 40-something with kids, but hey, it was good! After about two months, the calls were coming every day. My dad would just be ready to leave at 10 p.m. daily. Soon, we had the freezer stuffed and were buying another freezer for the garage. It was the chicken years. I asked my dad, “Don’t we have enough chicken? Can’t you just tell him you don’t want any more?” He said, “If I quit going, he might never call again.” Ah, the takeaway, one of the best motivators ever. The fear of losing what we have makes us continue on a path we know is wrong. We all want abundance over scarcity. It’s a concept I remember in business. Serve up the things people want and it’s like catnip – no one will want it to stop. For it to stop would be far more painful than just getting more chicken.

Passing on most personal of remembrances Commentary by Darla Kinney Scoles When our first daughter was born, my husband and I were living far away from both sets of grandparents. In an effort to keep them up-to-speed on the baby’s progress, I one day made a recording of her cooing and sent it to my parents. It was a fun project and my mother, especially, appreciated the gesture – so much so, she returned the cassette to me years later as a remembrance. Twenty-six years later, I still enjoy listening to the sound of our firstborn’s little voice making her first sounds. Doing so transports me right back to those early days of motherhood. Perhaps, one day, I will transfer it to a disk and pass it on to my daughter. Often, it seems, the things parents and grandparents pass on to their offspring are just that – things. Yes, sometimes they are very personal things with deep familial meaning and can reflect the individual passing them on, but how much greater would the connection be with something even more personal? How about passing on the sound of one’s voice? Technology has brought us books that allow us to record the text in our own voices, and making recordings on our own is easy enough. Why not – rather than writing a message – record it to be played again and again with the sound of a familiar voice making it a direct con-

nection? If passing on an heirloom, think about telling the story of that item in a recording to be handed down with it. Letters written in a loved one’s personal style of handwriting evoke much more emotion than those typed on a computer. The same is true for hearing the sound of a departed family member’s unique speech patterns. It’s as if one can feel his or her presence as one reads or listens. Personally, I’d rather have that than the family china or my grandmother’s fox fur hat. Darla Kinney Scoles is a freelance journalist living in Noblesville.

Bride to Be

Enjoy!

You have your dress…you have your jewelry…you have your shoes, but don’t forget about your most important accessory of all…your hair! This year, brides are opting for loose looks rather than the perfectly sculpted up-do. Show your carefree side by sporting a messy chignon, or long and loose curls. You will be sure to love these new and improved popular bridal styles! If you are still unsure of the style you want for your big day, be sure to consult with your stylist. Trained stylists at Salon 01 are able to take into account the feel of your wedding and your dress style to customize a look to complement the overall tone of the event. Call now to speak with our Wedding Director. She will help you plan all the services the day of your wedding, as well as help you schedule your trial style. We also offer special occasion makeup, including false eyelash application! (317) 580-0101.

Top 10 Wedding Dress Trends 1. Tiered Skirt: Layered panels of fabric that fall from the waist to the hem in varying lengths. 2. Shorter Hemlines: Who says your wedding dress needs to be a floor-length ball gown? Try Tea-Length or Street Length. 3. High Necklines: Covering collar extending to just below jaw line. They’re not just for grandma anymore. 4. Sheer Overlays: For a whimsical look. 5. Embellished Belts: Go for this modern look to set you apart.

Free brow wax with any facial appointment (a $15 value) Offer good through Mar. 31, 2012.

Find Us on Facebook 6. Dropped Waists: Falls to several inches below natural waistline. 7. Jewel Necklines: Circles the base of the neck. 8. Sweeping Train: Short train, barely sweeps the floor. Can work in a formal setting or on the beach. 9. Mermaid Silhouette: Narrow, body-hugging style with a skirt flaring from or just below knee. 10. Lace Adornments: Romantic and chic, lace can add some style to a plain gown. Professional Tip: Remember, not all trends should be contained in one dress. Pick one or two to avoid a disaster!

INSIDE & OUT

Indoors

Creating office/closet from unfinished attic space Remodling by Larry Greene Original attic: This Indianapolis home was built in 1994, and the owners have lived in the home for six years. As their family was expanding and their needs were changing, they began to think about the need for additional space. They needed a third bedroom and an office. According to the husband, “We have a three-bedroom house and I work from home. My wife is expecting our second child at the end of March, and we had to decide to either move or remodel.” Remodeling versus moving: The homeowners weighed the pros and cons of moving versus remodeling. One noted, “We added up the costs of moving, including realtor fees, repairs, moving costs etc., which turned out to be a significant amount of money. We then used that as our starting budget for the attic remodel. We went a little bit over, but we were able to stay in our home. We like the location and the neighbors.” Structural considerations: A structural engineer required beefing up the existing floor system by adding support to the floor joists. In addition, the design required extra foundation

support in the crawl space, including new footings, piers and a large beam to support the new attic loading. This allowed a new stairway from the new attic space with oak balusters and oak handrail. Final results: The owners noted, “The construction blends well with the home. If you were to come in for the first time now, you would never know the attic addition was new. I was able to work with the designers to come up with not only a plan for future needs, but a design that served my business needs. I needed a large closet to store my samples. We placed the closet over our master bathroom so the space could be easily changed into a bathroom if we ever had a need for another bedroom suite. I also really like I have electrical outlets, so I don’t have cords running all over, and my office is removed from the house, so work does not influence family life.” Larry Greene is the president of Case Design/Remodeling, a full-service design/build firm serving Hamilton County.
