Grammar Guy “Gone” and “went” are both past tense forms of the verb “go.”

While both “went” and “gone” are used in the past tense, you’ll notice that “gone” is paired with an auxiliary verb – “have” – while “went” is alone. Jordan Fischer explains the two reasons for this. Read more at currentnoblesville.com

Travel Bethlehem’s Church of the Nativity is believed to be the oldest complete church in the world, owing its longevity to the power of the Biblical wise men from the east. Although Christmas has come and gone for most Christians, the Christmas Eve service in the church commemorating the birth of Jesus is still at least a week away. Read more at currentnoblesville.com

Instead of just one, how about 12 Days of Christmas?

Mike Redmond writes it’s a chance to savor the best time of the year instead of wolfing it down in one huge chunk and then feeling a little let down, a little empty, the next day – and the day after that, and the day after that, and the day after that. Read more at currentnoblesville.com

Divorce What To Expect: Holiday Parenting Time In Indiana, a majority of parents with existing Court ordered custody and parenting time arrangements stipulate and agree to abide by the terms of the holiday parenting time schedule as put forth in the Indiana Parenting Time Guidelines, (“IPTG”). In any family law matter, however, the parties need not staunchly follow the IPTG holiday schedule and can agree to a schedule that best suits their family’s needs. That individualized schedule can be incorporated into the Court’s Order. For example, if there are longstanding holiday traditions that the parties wish to keep intact for the children subsequent to their separation, parents will often agree to such specific provisions and/or request the same from the Court when litigating the issue.

The holiday parenting time schedule provided for in the IPTG “equalizes” the holiday parenting time for Mom and Dad over a two year period by alternating half of the holidays each year. The IPTG were recently amended. One specific amendment was to the implementation of holiday parenting time. Under the former IPTG, holiday parenting time took precedence over the regular parenting time schedule. This often resulted in one parent forfeiting weekend parenting time as it was the other party’s holiday parenting time. In such instances, the former IPTG required that the parties modify the annual schedule to ensure that due to that holiday time, no party received three consecutive weekends of parenting time.

Under the amended IPTG, holiday parenting time continues to take precedence over regular parenting time, however, parties are no longer required to modify the regular schedule for the remainder of the year should either party receive three consecutive weekends of parenting time. Instead, one party may now receive three consecutive weekends. The purpose of this modification was to avoid additional modifications throughout the year and recognizing that over time, the time would equalize.

Be aware, however, that if you have a current order for parenting time, the IPTG that was in effect at the time of the order is still in force. The changes do not automatically apply to orders or agreements that were entered beforehand, so which version applies to your situation is important to recognize.

Included in the holiday schedule are “Special Days” such as parents birthdays, children’s birthday, Mother’s and Father’s day.

At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., our team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs. If you have questions or concerns regarding divorce, mediation, collaborative law or any other family law concerns, please contact our firm at 317.DIVORCE or visit our website at www.hzlegal.com.

Reflecting and looking ahead

Commentary by Rep. Kathy Richardson

I hope everyone has had fulfilling and eventful holidays – I always enjoy this time of year the most. It is my favorite statehouse for many reasons. It isn’t because of the gifts, food or shopping – it’s because of the valuable time spent together as a family, enjoying one another’s company, and the luxury afforded to spend some of that time reflecting on the previous year and the blessings bestowed on us. We have a lot to be thankful for in Hamilton County, just as a lot is expected of our community. And time and time again, our community answers the call whether it is giving to charity, philanthropy or simply coming together as a city, town or neighborhood for those in need. There’s nowhere else I would rather live.

With the New Year come new opportunities for all us, including the General Assembly.

Speaker of the House Brian Bosma has provided an ambitious vision for the House of Representatives in taking on economic development, road and bridge construction and maintenance, government and regulatory reform, early education, workforce skills training initiatives and business taxation. These are just some of the major topics that we will discuss during this year’s session.

In looking back at this year, Indiana has continued to shine on the national stage in attracting private sector jobs. It was a year of records and firsts. In November alone, the Hoosier state gained 25,300 private sector jobs, the largest one-month increase in Indiana on record. We led

the nation in percentage of private sector job growth at 9 percent and we were 2nd in the total number of jobs added.

The summer was great for the economy as more and more job opportunities became available and more Hoosiers returned to work. Indiana’s unemployment rate declined in November, dropping 0.2 percent to 7.3 percent, lower than all neighboring states. While I’m still not content with the number of Hoosiers who are unemployed, it is worth noting that fewer Hoosiers are now unemployed (232,400), than in November 2008 (240,600) when the recession hit.

This session, I’m eager to keep the momentum going and ensure Indiana stays on the right track of economic prosperity. Hoosiers have the drive and determination to succeed in today’s marketplace; I’m focused on establishing the best platform for all Hoosiers to achieve their success.

The most critical component of our democratic system of governance is civic engagement. I implore everyone to take an interest and have their voice be heard on the topics that matter most to them and their families. We all share in the decisions made at each level of government, and we have a role to play in its outcome.

Have a great New Year, and I hope 2014 brings all of us more peace, love and happiness.

Kathy Richardson (R-Noblesville) is the state representative for District 29. She is an occassional contributer to Current.

An evening of storytelling

Asa Gauen, originally from Noblesville, is the producer of Start the Car, a NY-based multimedia storytelling event that will make its Indianapolis debut on Jan. 3. (Submitted photo)

Start the Car, the Brooklyn-based multimedia storytelling series, brings its first show to Indianapolis at the Harrison Center for the Arts gymnasium, 1505 N. Delaware St., during the Indianapolis First Friday event on Jan. 3. Stories begin at 7 p.m. and the event is free to attend.

This will be the fourth installment of the series, and the first in Indianapolis.

The show producer, Asa Gauen, is originally from Noblesville and is the co-creator of Personal Desire Propaganda and contributor to This Red Door. Abbie Reese, author of Dedicated to God: An Oral History of Cloistered Nuns will be both performing in the event and also signing books beginning at 6:30 p.m. Other contributing artists include Noblesville’s Kelli Yates (The Polk Street Review) and David Stilley.

City sets sights on new projects to continue momentum

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Despite numerous awards as a best place to live, raise a family and recover story tire to, Mayor John Ditslear isn’t letting the city sit idle and rest on its recent accomplishments.

“2013’s been great and we’re looking forward to 2014,” Ditslear said.

Among the city’s developments and construction for the coming year, Ditslear highlighted the following projects:

Ivy Tech

When Ivy Tech Community College opens in August, Noblesville will be home to the 32nd Ivy Tech campus and will provide Hamilton County residents easier access to college credits, technical certificates and associate degrees.

“One of my goals from when I became mayor in 2004 was to have an institute of higher learning come to the city,” Ditslear said. “Ivy Tech is a real, real plus for all of us – current students, upgrading skills, recertification and life-long learners.”

Ivy Tech began offering classes in Hamilton County in 1980, and during the spring 2013 semester more than 3,000 students took advantage of this opportunity. School officials said Ivy Tech is busy determining what the site will look like and how to best serve the Hamilton County community.

“We look forward to the renovation and opening of Noblesville Ivy Tech in the fall. The economic development department, in partnership with the Vision Noblesville Workforce Development Council and the Hamilton County Alliance, will continue to connect businesses from Noblesville and all other Hamilton County Communities with the Ivy Tech Corporate College Staff to align desired curriculum and certification needs,” Noblesville Economic Director Judi Johnson said.

Eastside Park

On the even larger scale of Noblesville Parks’ projects is Eastside Park, which will be the largest in Noblesville at 200 acres. By comparison, Forest Park is 150 acres. Officials said Eastside Park, at 166th Street and Boden Road, is the city’s commitment to provide accessible parks and recreation facilities for residents living east of Ind. 32, particularly those in Wayne Township.

“It’s an ideal setting,” Ditslear said.

The massive park’s plans include a YMCA, aquatic center, events lawn and stage, softball complex, three athletic fields, shelters, nature center, archery range, disc golf course, playgrounds, sledding hill and a dog park.

The area also includes numerous trails and nature settings including grasslands, woodlands and wetlands/pond.

To assist in funding the project, Noblesville Common Council members approved changes to the city’s land-use law in September. The change allows residential developers within a half-mile of Eastside Park to set aside less property as open space in exchange for a fee. The idea behind the change is that residents are more likely to use a municipal park near their home than a neighborhood playground. Less open space means

Citizen survey

Every three years the city conducts a Citizen Survey to provide insight as to what residents believe are the strengths and weaknesses of the community and local government.

“This survey tells us a lot about our citizen’s preferences and allows us to help determine what we’re doing right and what needs to be changed,” Ditslear said, adding the results assist city leaders with long-term planning.

From the last survey in 2010, Ditslear said there was a perception of lack of opportunities to volunteer. To address that, Vision Noblesville was created, and one of its responsibilities was creating a volunteer database for those interested and groups needing assistance. Results of the recent survey will be announced in January.

more homes can be built and the fees cause less of a financial burden on the city.

“It’s an opportunity for us to use our parks as green space,” Ditslear said.

Comprehensive Master Plan

Noblesville will have a new Comprehensive Master Plan in 2014. Ditslear said the last one was revised 10 years ago.

“With the new master plan we will do our best and follow what the public wants,” he said.

Noblesville Planning Director Christy Langley said the Comprehensive Master Plan will be introduced to the Noblesville Plan Commission on Jan. 21 and the Langley Noblesville Common Council on Jan. 28.

Once approved, Langley said the guidance document will take a “tour of sorts.”

“We’ll go to the school board, chamber of commerce, Noblesville Main Street and Noblesville Preservation Alliance to say, ‘Here’s what the plan says and how you are specifically involved,’” she said.

The plan will outline a vision and strategic framework for future development, redevelopment and community building projects. Langley said a community’s comprehensive plan sets public policy in terms of transportation, utilities, land use, recreation and housing over short and long-term periods. The previous plan was prepared in 1995 and updated by the city in 2003.

Langley said a review of the plan will take place annually.

“It’s a living plan and we’re talking about it constantly,” she said. “Each year will see minor revisions. We’ll spend three to four weeks working on it each year.”

Westside Park

The next Noblesville park will be on 6.4 acres of flood-prone land between Ind. 32 and Logan Street along White River.

Plans call for an open-air amphitheater (which would be a permanent home for the Noblesville Cultural Arts Commission’s Shakespeare in the Park series and could relocate the city’s free summer concerts and farmers market) and a pedestrian bridge crossing the river into the downtown square.

Officials also are looking at a splash pad, trails and shelters.

“We want that to be the ‘wow’ factor when you’re coming to Noblesville from the west,” Ditslear said.

While construction will begin in 2014, Ditslear said the city cannot financially complete the project next year.

“The desire is to extend downtown west for a long time to kick start other development,” Ditslear said.

Officials hope the project unites the city’s core business district.

“The future West Side Park will be a catalyst for community transformation. New park development adds to the portfolio of Noblesville’s quality of life attributes,” Johnson said. “We hope the West Side Park development creates a more vibrant economy through additional commercial and residential attraction. It is evident that citizens seek out community. The west side of the river is also a part of downtown Noblesville and will ultimately compliment and sustain our already thriving downtown and historic square.”

Entertaining year ahead

Happy New Year, folks! We are hopeful, as we’re certain you are, that 2014 will mean good health and good fortune of varieties for everyone.

The able parasite Commentary by Terry Anker It is a story as old as any. We put our leaders on pedestals only to promptly knock them off only to put them back again. You know how the rest goes. We invest in human nature, knowing its patterns, and then feign dismay as it plays out as expected. We alternatively love the best among us, then despise in them in manifesting the very qualities that we admire - bringing them in with palm fronds and carrying them out in a body bag. Is it the recovery that we seek?

Is it their test of failure that reassures us in our own ambling attempts to find our way from outpost to outpost along the journey we travel?

While the mere saying of it reeks of cynicism, we live in a culture where the weak ride upon the strong. We identify the best among us, attach ourselves to them as they move ever toward the top, ignoring our suspicions as we benefit from the view. Then as we surmount the very zenith, we summarily execute the

leader, the visionary who carried us past our own feeble limitations, and claim the summit for ourselves. In measure, it is part envy that drives us. And also, our own shame that we’d not overcome these self-imposed constraints to find our way without the insight and driving of the trailblazer.

In our hubris, we assert victory. You didn’t do this (at very least, you didn’t do it without me).

But deep down, we know that we did not reach success on our own. We lack the vision and perhaps the fortitude. So we scavenge, feeding on the hunt of others. Shouldn’t we instead admire and honor the leaders? And be inspired to lead ourselves? Is there honor in being an able parasite? Only in delusion.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “Effort only fully releases its reward after a person refuses to quit.”

- Napoleon Hill

If you haven’t skipped ahead to read my column, you’ve noticed a number of stories about projects and plans for 2014 in this edition. The focus this week is to better inform you on what you should see in the next 12 months. I don’t want to rehash what has been written, but the upcoming year has many exciting developments both planned and currently underway.

One aspect that hasn’t been written about but will have a huge impact on our community is the number of building permits issued in 2013. Why does that matter in 2014? Because while the permits were issued in 2013 – and even 2012 in some instances – the actual development should begin this year.

To no one’s surprise, Noblesville has seen a steady growth of residents for years and the increase in housing options and subdivisions will ensure that number continues to climb. As of November, the Builders Association of Greater Indianapolis reported 1,772 permits were issued in Hamilton County.

During his State of the City Address to the Noblesville Chamber of Commerce on Sept.

25, Mayor John Ditslear said 351 single family permits have been issued with estimations to exceed 400 by the end of 2013.

“Given the positive reports about the housing market, we fully expect to surpass last year’s permit count,” Ditslear said.

An increase in the housing market does mean more people and more traffic. On the positive side, construction means more job opportunities and taxes. Also, more homeowners in the city means more property taxes – so if government entities keep budgets marginally close to previous years we will all pay a little less. What’s not to like about that?

BELIEVE IT! Our nation has all sorts of arcane, nonsensical laws on the books. Each week, we’ll share one with you. In White Mountain National Forest if a person is caught raking the beaches, picking up litter, hauling away trash, building a bench for the park, or many other kind things without a permit, he/she may be fined $150 for ”maintaining the national forest without a permit”.

Putting the odds in my favor Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Where did the year go? I feel like I was just writing my 2013 resolutions; now I’m supposed to do it all again for 2014? Fine. humor Bring it. This plays in nicely to my theme for the next 12 months: “Become a Bad Ass.” That’s right. I’m done with the lame promises to paint my family room. It’s yellow, I hate it, but I have more important things to address.

I’m tossing the unrealistic dreams of spending quality individual time at night with my children. There’s four of them and only one of me and my bedtime is before theirs. And I’m burying the “cuss-less” vow. Dropping the f-bomb is funny and liberating and I like it. So there!

Nope, this year my one focus will be on transforming myself into a middle-aged Katniss Everdeen who can hold her own in any situation, from a zombie apocalypse to a dance mom meeting. To that end, here are my New Year Resolutions for 2014. As always, feel free to mock, mimic and/or judge.

1. Gain pistol certification. I learned how to fire a shotgun and a rifle in the fall, but I still need proficiency with a handgun. Sorry Katniss, but a bow just doesn’t seem practical. Arrows don’t seem appropriate for ballet recitals.

2. Do 20 push-ups. Not the baby, on-yourknees kind, but the honest-to-God GI

Jane style that will have my upper-body ripped and ready to both defend against a feral dog attack and/or break-up a teenage girl fight.

3. Skin a deer. It won’t do many any good to kill my food if I can’t access the meat.

My plan is to sweet talk Doo into taking me along on one of his hunting trips to show me the ropes. As long as I don’t vomit at the sight of spilled intestines, I should do fine.

4. Explore the art of crock-pot cooking.

Today’s dystopian hero, a.k.a. Supermom, must be able to work full-time and serve an occasional hot meal that doesn’t originate from Kraft. I hope to experiment my way through all 30 recipes in my new “Crockpots and You” book, and possibly invent a little venison number that’s, as my mom would say, “To die for!”

5. Learn to whistle with my fingers.

Every bad ass should be able to summon her minions on demand. ‘Nough said.

My quest to be 2014 Hunger Games worthy begins now. May the odds ever be in my favor, and yours as well! Peace out.

Sunrisers thankful for support

Editor, The Noblesville Sunrisers Kiwanis would like to once again, thank those in our community that helped support our ongoing Pancake Breakfasts we served during 2013. All of the proceeds are going to help youth groups such as the Noblesville Boys & Girls Club, Noblesville Elementary Football and others service-oriented organizations here in Noblesville and Hamilton County, as well as our favorite charity, Riley Hospital for children.

Over the past five years the Sunrisers Kiwanis

have raised more than $148,000 in support of our youth and we hope those who have supported our projects in the past will continue to do so in 2014. On behalf of our officers and members, “Thank You!” Those interested in joining the Sunrisers Kiwanis can join us Tuesdays mornings at Jim Dandy’s Restaurant in Noblesville at 7 a.m. weekly.

Thank you, Ron Wilson, Noblesville Sunrisers Kiwanis president, 46060

Auto industry was worth taxpayers’ support Editor, “From the Backshop” in the Dec. 17 Current declared that the bailout of General Motors was a “disaster.” I respectfully disagree with your viewpoint. As a taxpayer, I very much support my tax dollars being used to help keep America’s auto industry afloat. In a “pure” capitalistic system, tax dollars would never be used for this purpose, but there are no “pure” democracies in the world - not even ours. What our tax dollars so successfully did was maintain an industry that is crucial to our economy, not only for the auto workers but for all businesses that sup-

port those workers. I would much rather see my tax dollars go to keep people in jobs rather than pay people who are out of jobs! And for the record, I have nothing to do with the auto industry - I just know a good investment when I see it. I will always support my tax dollars going to keep our country strong and competitive in the global market. I am truly sorry that you don’t think it is important to support the American economy, even if it means that we all (taxpayers) have to pitch in to do it.

identity. Every town and city is unique. Art in Cicero is different than art in Noblesville or anywhere else.”

Officials estimate that 3,000 people visited the main campus in 2013.

“We’re really excited about what we’ve achieved and learned in 2013,” McGill said. “We’re building the community around the arts in 2014 and really hope people have started to feel our impact.”

Combining cuisine with conversation In its second year, McGill said NPA has several new events planned, including Stone Soup Suppers where intimate dinners are held with a group of community leaders – from artists and filmmakers to local politicians. Local restaurants will provide the meal and guests will bring the stories.

“We provide the host, space and food. Participants bring ideas and eagerness to talk on the subject,” McGill said. “It gives people the opportunity to have thoughtful open discussions about art and artistic endeavors during the winter.”

Hosted in the Nickel Plate Arts Stephenson House, 107 S. Eighth St., Noblesville, these casual evenings are designed to resurrect the art of conversation in January through March.

“If everyone brings something to the discussion, it’ll be really good,” McGill said.

Confirmed speakers include Chef Wendell Fowler, local and state politicians, local film maker Kate Chaplin, local artists, writers from the Polk Street Review, and Jim Morris, president of Pacers Sports Entertainment and former director of the World Food Bank.

Each attendee receives a commemorative, hand-made soup bowl created by VSA artists.

Reservations are required for this arts fundraiser and cost $50 per person. Most of these dinners will take place from 7 to 9 p.m. on Thursday nights.

“If we get more interest we may add other dates other than Thursday nights,” McGill said.

Home prices up 10 percent this year Commentary by Jim Litten With 1,643 home sales in November in central Indiana, overall year-to-date home sales are up 15.4 percent compared to Real estate this time period last year, according to statistics compiled by F.C. Tucker Company.

On a monthly basis, November 2013 home sales declined 9.4 percent compared to November 2012, a decrease of 170 homes sold in the nine counties that F.C. Tucker tracks. In Hamilton County, home sales are on pace to end in positive territory despite a drop in sales last month.

• Based on the past 11 months, home sales in Hamilton County have increased to 6,202 from 5,277 – a spike of 17.5 percent compared to the same time period in 2012..

• In November 2013, 326 homes sold in Hamilton County – 50 homes fewer than in November 2012.

• As the market continues to stabilize in Noblesville, year-to-date sales prices have increased 11.1 percent. In November 2013, the overall average sales price was $208,590 – up $20,899 from November 2012.

• As inventory tightens, homes aren’t staying on the market as long. Overall for the past 11 months, homes in Noblesville have remained on the market an average of 73 days, which is 29 fewer days than the same time last year.

As the year comes to a close, home sales are poised to end in the positive territory on a yearto-year basis in central Indiana. We also expect the shrinking inventory to continue driving prices up, contributing to this seller’s market that we’ve been experiencing in recent months.

dispatches More men get alimony from their ex-wives - Divorce attorneys across the country are seeing a rise in men asking ex-wives for spousal support.

According to 2010 Census records, of the 400,000 people receiving spousal support, only 3 percent were men. But last year, the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers surveyed its 1,600 members and found that 47 percent had noticed an increase in the number of women who are paying alimony.

Still, as women increasingly become the chief breadwinners, and with the rise of stay-at-home fathers, that 3 percent number is likely to rise, if it hasn’t already. SOURCE: Reuters

You, too, can be a banker - One of today’s hottest investments, peer-to-peer lending, involves making loans to strangers over the Internet and counting on them to pay you back with interest. The concept may be a bit wacky, but the returns reported by sites specializing in this transaction are nothing to scoff at. What risks you face: For the average-risk loan on Lending Club, returns recently averaged 8 to 9 percent, with a default rate of 3.5 to 4 percent.

By contrast, junk bonds, which had a similar default rate this year, were yielding 6 percent.

IU Health achieves accreditation news@currentinwestfield.com

When someone experiences the warning signs of a potential heart attack, fast action and a hospital’s level of expertise wellness can make all the difference. A special designation is making it easier for the public to identify those hospitals that excel at providing timely treatment for heart problems.

On Dec. 20, Indiana University Health officially became one of the few hospital systems in the nation to have several of its hospitals achieve simultaneous System Chest Pain Center accreditation from the Society of Cardiovascular Patient Care.

Chest Pain Center accreditation is an exclusive, highly sought after seal of approval given only to hospitals that demonstrate excellence in quickly evaluating and treating individuals experiencing chest pain and other symptoms of a heart attack. Accredited Chest Pain Centers have efficient, well-run processes in place combined with a high level of expertise to ensure fast, accurate diagnoses and shorter door-to-treatment times. Such centers also have better outcomes for patients with heart attack symptoms, according to a national study published in “The American Journal of Cardiology.”

IU Health’s System Chest Pain Center accreditation marks the first time the society has simultaneously granted this prestigious designation to such a large number of hospitals within one

system. Nine IU Health hospitals participated in this recent initiative to become accredited Chest Pain Centers, including IU Health Saxony Hospital in Fishers.

“Quick diagnosis and treatment are key factors in acute cardiac situations, such as heart attacks,” stated Dr. Nathan Lambert, cardiologist at IU Health Tipton and Saxony Hospitals. “The processes we have in place allow us to quickly and effectively diagnose and treat these patients, which leads to positive outcomes.”

Accredited IU Health hospitals incorporated the Society of Cardiovascular Patient Care’s evidence-based performance measures and participated in a series of rigorous, in-depth tests designed to improve processes to ensure patients with heart problems receive cost-effective, accurate diagnoses and immediate treatment.

The process also required each hospital to participate in a series of site visits by clinical review specialists affiliated with the Society.

The Society of Cardiovascular Patient Care, an international body of experts in areas ranging from cardiology to emergency medicine, is dedicated to helping hospitals improve their quality and processes to significantly reduce the number of people who die from heart disease - the leading killer of Americans.

IU Health is home to Indiana’s only nationally ranked cardiovascular program to appear on “U.S.News and World Report’s” 2013-2014 edition of Best Hospitals.

Tips for a kitchen remodel

Coming Jan. 21 in Current, the debut of Tables, a dining guide for Hamilton and Boone counties … and beyond.

For advertising information, please e-mail tables@youarecurrent.com or call 489.4444.

Commentary by David Decker

Many homeowners are as nervous as they are excited about beginning a new remodeling project. Inconvenience, messiness indoors and disruptions can sometimes be a very real part of a remodel; this is especially true of kitchen projects. The kitchen generally functions as the center of the home. Everything from meal preparation, to clean up, to hosting guests is done in the kitchen.

While the Affordable Companies works unbelievably hard to make the experience as stress-free as possible, some difficulties are unavoidable simply due to the nature of construction. That said, there are a few preparations and strategies you can implement to make the remodeling process go a little more smoothly for your family.

Organization is key to living in the midst of a home remodeling project. You must clear everything from the countertops, cabinets, walls and other places where personal items may get in the way of construction. All of the items currently stored in the kitchen have to go somewhere else during construction. It’s a good idea to pack these items in clearly labeled boxes and store them in an easy to access place. That way, you’ll be able to find the things you need quickly.

Food preparation is likely going to be the most difficult part of your kitchen remodel. First, choose a new area to house your refrigerator. You may not have access to your oven or stovetop. To compensate, you might have to rely on microwaved, grilled or slow-cooked meals for a while. Consider preparing and freezing dishes that you can eat later. Make small shopping trips so that you don’t have to worry about spoiled food. You may also want to stock up on plastic silverware, plates and cups to make cleanup easier.

If you ever have any questions about how to prepare for the work, you should contact someone as soon as possible, so there are no surprises along the way. Every company has a

different process for prepping homeowners for construction. At the Affordable Companies, our project managers compile a daily schedule to keep you updated on the entire process, and are always available by phone or email to answer questions. For more information, visit our company’s website for informative videos on our process for kitchen remodels.

Remember, the inconveniences that inevitably come with construction are only temporary. Try to remain positive during the process. In the end, you’ll have a beautiful, updated kitchen that’s certain last much longer than the construction phase ever could.

David Decker is president of the Affordable Companies, which include Affordable Kitchens and Bathrooms and now Affordable Custom Flooring.

They are based in Carmel (575-9540, www.the-affordablecompanies.com).

E-mail home improvement questions to david.decker@the-affordablecompanies.com.

Got a leak? Try tightening the valve stem packing nut. The next time you see a suspicious puddle of water, look for a leaky valve before you call the plumber. Look at the valve to see if water is leaking out around the valve stem. If it is, try turning the packing nut about an eighth turn with a wrench. If tightening the nut doesn’t stop the leak, you’ll have to shut off the main water valve, remove the handle and nut, and add to or replace the packing material – still a pretty easy fix.
