ity and walkability within housing, maintaining streetscapes, encouraging mixed-use developments and integrating elements like storm water, natural preservation and integration of trees, gardens and trails.

The transportation committee broke its priorities into the east and west parts of Fishers. The task force highlighted maintaining current roads, increas-ing capacity for vehicles, completing pedestrian trails and sidewalk networks, implementing bike lanes and encouraging mass transit.

The parks committee’s vision implied a frame-work that would allow accessibility during all sea-sons for all ages and all abilities, offer mixed-use of both active and passive spaces, be sustainable in a mindful and environmentally friendly way, promote vibrancy in the community and its identity, be safe in design, operation and maintenance, be collabora-tive in its coordination within the region and quality design.

The next step in developing the comprehensive plan will be at the January council meeting. To learn more, or to view the full comprehensive plan pre-sentation, visit www.fishers2040.com.

Fishers discusses goals of comprehensive planBy James Feichtner • [email protected]

On Aug. 3, members of Fishers City Council met for a special meeting that focused on preparing for the city’s upcoming comprehensive plan. The

plan would be headed by a steering committee that would be broken up into

four groups. On Dec. 14, those four groups gath-ered at Launch Fishers to relay what they had learned over the past several months.

“Hopefully what we’ll have here tonight is a general idea or vision of where we want to take our community, and then we’ll go to work on how we’ll actually get there with actionable items,” Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness said at the opening of the meeting.

Each of the task force groups, which were Land Use, Transportation, Residential and Parks, relayed their findings from meetings, which con-sisted of more than 600 hours of total meeting time since August. Sixty-three individuals partici-pated, including 44 task force and steering com-mittee members, 16 city staff and three outside

consultants. The Land Use committee highlighted six goals

for the future land use plan: providing more vari-ety of housing types, creating more opportunities for mixed use, increasing employment opportuni-ties, proving nodes for retail and services, pro-tecting key areas from open space and designat-ing areas for special studies.

Residential task force goals included facilitat-ing creativity, innovation and a strong sense of place, encouraging open spaces with purpose-ful reason, integrating safe interconnectiv-

A meeting of the Hamilton Southeastern School Board was held Dec. 14. All members were in at-tendance. This meeting’s Snapshots of Success went to the Hamilton Southeastern Robotics team, the Cyber Royals. The students went before the board to talk about their recent ac-complishments in Fargo, N.D. and Bowling Green, Ky. and did a demonstration with their award-winning robot they designed.

Why it matters: In Bowling Green, they won Top 10 Robot overall with an all-rookie group. In Fargo, they won the gold medal at the Regional Boosting Engineering Science and Technology Robotics competition. The team also re-ceived plaques for best engineering design process, best spirit and sportsmanship and most robust machine.

Board members discussed and reviewed an HSE21 elementary 1:1 initiative, granting all elementa-ry students iPads to use throughout their curriculum. Board members watched a video compila-tion of several HSE teachers that had experimented with elementary students using the devices and taking them home.

Why it matters: Currently, HSE intermediate schools, high schools and faculty are utilizing devices in its curriculum. The school board unanimously approved the elementary 1:1 plan. Elementary schools will begin using the new devices at the start of the 2016 school year.

A general obligations bond of $10 million was discussed with board members for improvements throughout HSE schools. Approximately $5 million would be used in upkeep of school lighting systems, HVAC systems and other miscellaneous projects. The other $5 million would be used for technology projects such as upgrading school computers and devices, as well as toward the new elementary 1:1 program.

Why it matters: Board members unanimously approved the general obligations bond. The bond is ex-pected to be paid back within a year but is allowed up to three years for repayment.

Students at St. Simon the Apostle Catho-lic School donated more than 1,000 pounds

of their Halloween candy this year to military servicemen

and women. Each grade level has a dedicated service project to work on throughout the school year.

“Currently, it's being facilitated by our fifth grade students. We've been doing it for about eight or nine years. The thrust of the project comes from Hillcrest Country Club, from a group of women called The Guardian Angels. In fifth grade, they learn all about our Consti-tutional Rights and the development of the United States. We thought it would be perfect for us to tie in with their curriculum in support of how we have freedom because of these wonderful men and women who serve our country,” said Laura Mates, assistant principal.

The week following Halloween, all 740 stu-dents, from preschool to eighth grade, are en-couraged to bring in their leftover Halloween candy. The candy is then sent to HCC to send overseas and across the U.S. Students even volunteer their own time before school.

“Every morning that we do the candy collec-tion, we have four or five fifth grade students that volunteer to come in early before school starts. They set up a table in our atrium and

Students donate sweets

everybody brings in all their bags of candy. They put their names in a drawing for a little prize, and they weigh the bags,” Mates said.

The program has expanded outside the walls of SSACS.

“Even friends and family know we do it. They even bring all their candy to us so that we can bring it in. It's really stretched out to the community,” Mates said.

Teachers get involved by donating $10. If they do they can wear jeans on Military Mon-days. That money is sent to HCC to help offset shipping costs. Each year students aim to perform better than the past years.

“The kids try to beat their yearly record. They exceeded well beyond their expectations with over 1,000 pounds of candy this year,” Mates said.

Hamilton County Emergency Management Executive Director Erin Rowe is doing her part to get the word out about the “Ready:

Whenever. Wherever.” campaign.The HCEM and the Hamilton County

Sheriff’s Office are joining with the Indiana Department of Homeland Se-curity to raise awareness about the preparedness campaign. It comes af-ter U.S. State Department’s Worldwide Travel Alert for all Americans, effective through Feb. 24.

“It’s just asking the public to be aware and be on the look out for potential perpetrators or violent behavior, and to report that suspi-cious activity to law enforcement,” Rowe said. 

Rowe said this is a continuation of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s “See Something, Say Something” campaign.

“It’s kind of a different approach to it,” said Rowe, who began her job as executive direc-tor on July 13. “We’re making sure we pause and consider the potential safety risks in our surroundings and identify any possible actions

to take to increase our own personal safety in the event of an emergency.

“It’s important to think about dif-ferent scenarios you might encounter, especially in public settings, like sporting events, shopping centers and movie theaters.

Rowe said it is important to locate emergency exits and possible places to take shelter.

“We want to make Hamilton County resi-dents aware, there are no specific threats to Hamilton County, to Indiana or the United States at this time,” Rowe said. “In light of recent events, we just have to be more aware of our surroundings.” For more on this cam-paign, visit geistcurrent.com.

On Dec. 11 Fishers Rotary hosted Donation Day during its weekly meeting. Rotarians gathered at the Delaware Township Community Center as several donations were made to local not-for-profit organiza-tions including Outside the Box, Food 4 Souls, Come to Me Food Pantry, Crossroads of American Council, Pink Ribbon Connection, Family Promise of Greater Indiana and Hamilton Co. Leadership Academy. Rep-resentatives from the organizations as well as their Rotary sponsors were there to accept the dona-tions and explain how their organization will utilize the funds.

The Fort Benjamin Harrison The-ater in 2002. (Submitted photos)

Fort Benjamin Harrison Theater reopens with

first performance

Reviving

By Zach Dunkin • [email protected]

The year is 2023, and the City of Lawrence is cel-ebrating its bicentennial. The focal point of the celebra-

tion is along the now-pedestrian-only Otis Avenue at Fort Benjamin Harrison, where visitors stroll

along in search of a bite to eat, a cocktail to sip or a piece of artwork to purchase from a handful of gal-leries. Maybe they’re just window shopping or people watching.

The festive street scene has come a long way since 2015 when a small group of visionaries decided to turn a nondescript, two-story brick building that once housed an old theater built for the soldiers stationed at

Fort Benjamin Harrison into a reborn playhouse – The Theater at the Fort – that sparked the cultural movement that spread east and west along Otis.

At least, that’s how Judy Byron, executive director of Partnerships for Lawrence, envisions it.

“My dream is bigger than this the-ater,” said Byron, who has been work-

ing tirelessly for more than a decade to bring arts and culture to the Lawrence community. “My dream is that we have partners up and down the road (Otis) – restau-rants, shops, galleries – to create a cultural destination.

“We hope to partner with all the businesses and other entities in the area so that we truly have a place where not only our local residents come to, but visitors will want to come. We’re hoping that the theater is the spark that lights the fire to make that happen.”

Originally located in a small space on Franklin Road in Lawrence, Partnerships for Lawrence has offered visual art programs and summer camps for its stu-dents for years.

“But in spite of all of the programming we have done in the past, it was hard for people to recognize who we

Partners for Lawrence is funded by donations, adver-tisements and ticket sales. Funds are now needed for big ticket items such curtains, lighting and sound and for various repairs. And, as executive director Judy Byron noted with smile, “There’s a good reason why it’s called The Theater at the Fort. Naming rights are always available.”Donations can be made at www.lawrenceartcenter.net/bringbackthetheater.

were until we had a good, established spot,” Byron said.Now, with its new digs at Fort Ben, the organization can

offer new entertainment for the community as it partners with various arts groups seeking a performance venue.

“This is a huge break for us,” Byron said. “We’re much more noticeable, and we can make a bigger difference.”

Built in 1929, the theater ran movies and hosted band and theatrical performances for soldiers and their families. The fort and its theater were decommissioned in 1996. The building was most recently used as a practice space for the 38th Infantry Band of the Indiana National Guard until Partnerships for Law-rence and the City of Lawrence partnered to pay for repairs and refurbishment to make the 208-seat theater a viable enter-tainment venue again.

The ribbon cutting was on Oct. 22, and Spotlight Play-ers became the theater’s first visiting arts group with its recent production of “It’s a Wonderful Life: A Radio Play.” Indy Axis Dancers, a youth dance school, performed “The Nutcracker” Dec. 18. A jazz or-chestra is booked for a spring performance.

The group will also partner with Dance Kaleidoscope and Storytell-ing Arts of Indiana in future productions. Film showings

are possible. Students in the Partnership for Lawrence summer art camps will do weekly performances in the theater. Area schools are also invited to use the theater for musical or theat-rical performances.

“We’ve hit the ground running,” said Byron, who shares her Fort Ben “dream home” with her husband and sons. “Groups are lining up to perform here.”

Byron acknowledged the redevelopment that has been hap-pening on the fort, such as new apartment complexes and homes and a new business complex, “but without this cultural element, the word about Lawrence is still not getting out there.

“We feel we are bringing that piece to the redevelopment that is missing,” she said.

Commentary by Joe Clark

Among Bill Gates’ classic observations, the following statement may be the most pro-

phetic: "We always over-estimate the change that will occur in the next two

years and underestimate the change that will occur in the next 10.” A long-term challenge our economy is facing today re-lates to an aging population and workforce.

Perhaps not in the next two years but cer-tainly in the next 10, our economy must focus on building a growing workforce as we continue to move from a manufactur-ing economy to a service-based economy. Machines can't make great food, paint houses, provide medical care or cut hair. Nor can most service jobs be outsourced. People are required.

As our workforce is depleting and our econ-omy functions on the efforts of people, immi-gration is a complex but critical issue. Even if today’s birthrate was expanding, children are not capable of replacing the knowledge and

experience of retiring Baby Boomers.The number of workers – especially skilled

workers like welders, plumbers and carpen-ter – is decreasing and none of us want the economy to shrink. The world’s economic lead-ers, both foreign and domestic, are cognizant of contracting workforces and the fight for new workers will be at the forefront over the next decade.

Mr. Gates is right in his assessment. We have to be dili-gent in keeping our borders safe today, but look-ing at the long term, if we lose our economic advantages, our borders will be

weaker than they are now. We have challeng-es my friends. It's easy to focus on the fear of today but let's not forget our future.

A long-term look at the economy

eCONOMICs

Perhaps not in the next two years but certainly in the next 10, our

economy must focus on building a growing workforce as we continue to move from a manufacturing economy

to a service-based economy.

Commentary by Kirsten Shaw

Weather changes, general fatigue, financial limitations and relationship tensions are just

a few of the reasons that mil-lions of Americans battle the blues each winter. See if one of

these five strategies can help you or someone you love.

• TAKE A BREATH. Using a balloon to breathe is great for us even if we aren’t decorating for the holidays. Exhaling into a balloon helps utilize the full capacity of our lungs and naturally helps calm nerves and reduce anxiety.

• DON’T FAKE IT. Despite it being quite common, the disparity between how we actually feel about the holidays and what we think we are supposed to feel can make us feel confused and guilty. It is what it is. Bless and release the rest.

• REDEFINE OUR PRIME TIME: Most televi-sion programs are not designed to make viewers better people or even feel better.

Instead, try doing some simple exercises. Even a quick 20-minute walk can relieve stress and increase endorphin levels.

• GET REAL: Author and researcher Emma Seppala explains that despite proving that positive experiences triple the quan-tity of negative ones, our brains still tend to focus on the negative. “By cultivating gratitude, we actually become more realistic because we pay attention to all the things that are going right instead of wrong.”

• RIGHT-SIZE OUR COMMITMENTS: Reduc-ing our obligations and focusing on the activities that best refresh our spirits will give us the necessary downtime we tend to disregard during the holiday hustle and bustle.

Kindness:No regrets

– Henry David Thoreau

b e l I e v e I T !Our nation has all sorts of arcane, non-sensical laws on the books. Each week, we’ll share one with you. In Rhode Island, impersonating a town sealer, auctioneer, corder of wood, or a fence-viewer is against the law.

Commentary by Terry Anker

This newspaper routinely gets press releas-es from institutions, organizations, communi-ties and political leaders hoping to clarify some news, television, blog or other report. They are concerned about the convoluted or disorienting messaging found in the prevailing story that, as one local official recently put it, they felt a need “to dispel the misperception by some.”

In this state and around the world, we routinely find ourselves personally as the sole representative of our community. We are asked to tell our story – and perhaps too often, to defend a common opinion about what it is like to be from our place. Some might call Hoosiers obese, bigoted hate-mongers while others chose words like generous, welcoming and self-deprecating. Depending on the sources, we could probably find empirical data to support or disprove each of these. So what difference does it make?

Fagan Harris, CEO of Baltimore Corps who calls its mission “restoring a great American city,” advocated passionately at the closing luncheon

for CEOs for Cities in Indianapolis in October about the importance of accurate narratives to sustain-ing and building communities. He shared how he believed that the rich diversity of neighborhoods that comprise Baltimore was being overshadowed by a discourse established by people who know precious little about that place. It matters, he argues, that leaders work to ensure that the mes-sages are accurate and fair. We needn’t become thin-skinned. But while it may be fun enough to poke fun at our neighbors or ourselves, when these stereotypes are mistaken for truth and repeated they become the story.

If the objective is to build a strong and vi-brant place, in competition with all others seek-ing the same goal, a contrived misunderstand-ing rarely leads to positive outcome. When does it become our personal responsibility to make sure the message is right?

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Doo and I visited New York City a while back, and because I’d never seen

a Broadway production, I insisted we get tickets to a show. We decided on

“The Book of Mormon,” and it did not disappoint. In fact, this might be my new favorite musical. EVER. Hysteri-cally raw and a good message, I loved every Latter Day Saint moment. Anyhoo, there’s one song that I can’t seem to get out of my head this week (no, not that song! Can you imagine me sing-ing that one around the house?) Called “Turn It Off,” it’s all about suppressing bad thoughts and feelings.

Though I love the holidays, I find them extremely challenging. I’m constantly exhausted. I’m usually stressed. And if I have to answer “Why didn’t Picklek-nuckle come back this year?” one more time, my daughter’s going to witness an elf-on-the-shelf homicide scene that will traumatize her for years to come. But because there are memories to be made with family and friends, I have to “turn it off.” I have to buck up and smile, don dresses and eyeliner, and pretend that I’m enjoying every single damn minute of togetherness and gift-giving when all I really want for Christmas is to finish “Breaking Bad,” alone except for a steaming mug of Ramen.

Unfortunately, my kids and Doo must face the consequences of this “Turn It Off” policy. As is the nature of bottling up true sentiments, that vitriol eventu-ally spews forth, usually around 9 p.m. when I just need to go to sleep but everyone is ensconced in a “Lord of the Rings” marathon in the family room directly below my bed.

But what else can I do? I can’t act bratty with people whom I only see once a year, nor will that behavior fly with parents and in-laws. “Turning it off” is the only way to ensure happi-ness and good will toward men. And so, I will steal moments of quiet couch time in my PJs where I can, and will “turn it off” when holiday duty calls. I might also sing that other song.

Peace out.

Turn it off

“You never will regret being kind.” So stated the recent post on Facebook. But it got us thinking: With so much wrong in the world these days, can’t we all inject a dose of right? It costs none of us any-thing to be the bright light, to be caring, to do a good turn to benefit someone. It takes so little effort to show that cer-tain gentleness - and we’re not talking solely about Christmastime here, either. Although, come to think of it, gift giving is an exercise in kindness. Spending time with friends and family is another. In the Grateful Dead song, “Uncle John’s Band,” the vocalist, the late, great Jerry Garcia, sings, “Whoa-oh, all I want to know, is are you kind?” Well, are you? If you are, isn’t it great? How wonderful do you feel when you buy the cop in line a cup o’ Joe “just because,” or when you go out of your way to give some lost soul directions to a particular eatery? What about forking over $5 to the homeless guy with the sign that reads: “Let’s be honest, it’s for beer”? How much do a smile, holding open the door for a total stranger in order to let him or her pass in front of you, or pitching in on your neighbor’s project really cost you? You know the answer. Kindness. It’s the correct thing to do. Besides, being unkind takes so much more energy. And with that, a very Merry Christmas to you and yours from all of us at Current. (We’re storing energy to resume bashing politi-cians at some point soon in this space.)

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

Every December I look back at all the people who deserve thanks for helping me find a little humor in everyday life…

Thanks to the young man who came to our door and convinced me to switch my cable

provider. He asked how long it usually took me to get on the Internet. “Well, I start in the

kitchen, getting a beverage. Then, with this pesky knee of mine, it takes me quite a while to get down the stairs to the computer. By the time I find my glasses, we’re looking at eight to 10 minutes.” 

Thanks to my plumber, Rex, and my com-puter geek, Kevin, both of whom charge $100 just for walking in the door. Rex usually brings a plunger and is gone in five minutes. And Kevin, a couple of times, just plugged my printer back into the outlet. As my mother used to say, “They sure have your number.” They do. But I’m glad I have theirs, too.

To Bruce at Butler Hyundai who sold me a new car that has a steering wheel with 12 buttons on it, more than a corset from the Elizabethan era, and probably just as difficult for an inexperienced guy like me to manage. There are also four buttons on the rearview mirror, including a garage door opener, which Bruce told me I would have to sync with my old garage door opener. Or was it my laptop? No, maybe it was my smart phone. No matter. When he said sync, I knew I was sunk.

To my wife, who points at everything. “Look at the sky,” she’ll say and point – like I don’t know where the sky is. And when she wants me to turn right, out comes that finger. On a recent trip, she asked, “Don’t you want me to point out things of interest?” “Yes,” I told her, “but I don’t want you to actually point at

them.”To all my friends at my 50th high school

reunion, where I learned many things. Here are two. First, if you wear the wrong name tag, most people won’t know the difference for at least an hour. And second, even though the guys I hung out with in 1965 didn’t take drugs, now we all do.

To our friends from church who organized a bocce ball tournament. We didn’t know the rules, so I bought a book online called “The Joy of Bocce.” I already owned “The Joy of Cook-ing” and “The Joy of Sex,” although both of them were put in storage before we started to remodel our kitchen.

 Thanks to Mary Ellen, again, who upon checking our email confirmation for our ho-tel in Washington, D.C., last spring, casually mentioned that we weren’t as close to the downtown area as she had wanted. “How far are we?” I asked. “About 2,300 miles,” she said. I had booked a hotel in Seattle, Wash., by mistake.

And finally, to the authors of my favorite publication of 2015, “iPads for Seniors for Dum-mies,” a book the publishers say is for people with no experience with tablets. Wait, seniors take several tablets every morning. The intro-duction says that with your new iPad you can “have fun, explore the online world and look at naughty videos.” It doesn’t really say that, but they could use something to get my genera-tion into the Apple Store.

Dear 2015: Thanksfor the laughs

The Bishops and Flatbed Twitch Trio will each be in separate rooms. Karaoke provid-ed by P3 Productions will be in a third room. The bands and karaoke will play until 10 p.m.

“I think Carmel and Hamilton County have needed something like this on New Year’s Eve for so many years.”

– Laura Varnau

New Year’s eve sCheDUle Of eveNTs:

By Mark Ambrogi • [email protected]

Laura Varnau sees no major challenge in throwing a New Year’s Eve party at the

Palladium.“Honestly, there

haven’t been any real challenges since we do this every year with our fundraising gala,” stated Varnau, the Cen-ter for the Performing Arts’ events manager. “We know how to throw a party!”

There will be three music rooms on New Year’s Eve with The Bishops and Flatbed Twitch in separate rooms and then P3 Produc-tions providing karaoke in a third room. At 10 p.m., the guests will file into the Palladium for a jazzy performance by The Hot Sardines.

“At our after-party for the gala, we have bands in three different rooms,” Varnau said. “This is just in reverse because we are doing the parties first and then the show after-wards. We’ve all been doing this here for so long. Each part of our staff has their own things they are responsible for. We’ve been meeting every couple of weeks, and it all comes together.”

Varnau, a Carmel resident, started at the Center in September 2010 as an intern. The center opened in January 2011.

“Throughout my adult life, I have had sev-eral different types of jobs,” Varnau said. “No matter what field I was in, I was always the one planning wedding and baby showers for co-workers and planning the company out-ings. When I turned 47, I decided it was time to figure out what I really wanted to do, so I enrolled in IUPUI’s Events Management pro-gram. Since I already had a degree, I opted for the certificate program. At the end of my stud-ies, I needed an internship. The timing was perfect, and I was brought on board at the Center to help with the grand opening of the Palladium followed by the Tarkington and then the Studio Theater. For five months, I was working 50-60 hours a week as an unpaid

intern, but it paid off as I was eventually hired full-time.”

Varnau had a couple of other jobs, including house manager, before becoming the events manager approximately 18 months ago.

“What I love the most about my job is that no two events are ever alike,” Varnau said. “I love helping people put together their events and then watching it all come together. It’s very sat-isfying to see their guests enjoying themselves, even if it’s just a corporate meeting.”

Varnau said she can’t wait for New Year’s Eve.“I think Carmel and Hamilton County have

needed something like this on New Year’s Eve for so many years,” Varnau said. “For those of us who live up here, it’s a short drive and free parking.” 

Anne O’Brien, vice president of marketing and communications, said the Center is en-couraged by the response from the public.

“We’re planning on this being an annual event,” Varnau said.

Fire-roasted green beansCommentary by Ceci Martinez

Green beans are a dish for a fancy holiday table! Jazz up your standard side of green beans with this easy, light vinaigrette. A splash of this can make your green beans taste irresistible!

Note: The fastest method for cooking green beans is to steam them (it’s faster to bring an inch of water to a boil than a whole pot of water.) Set a steamer basket in a saucepan with an inch of water in it, add the fresh green beans to the basket. When the water comes to a boil, cover the pan, reduce the heat and steam about four minutes.

Fire-roasted green beansServe: 12 to 14Ingredients:• 3 large red peppers (or

you can use fire-roasted red peppers; you can find them at any market)

• 2 pounds green beans trimmed

• 3/4 cup good quality olive oil

• 1/3 cup red vinegar• 3 garlic minced• salt and pepper to tasteDirections: Broil red pepper until black.

Place pepper in a paper bag for about 10 min-utes (the steam will loosen the skin). Peel and cut peppers in strips or dice and transfer to a

large bowl. Steam beans following above in-structions or place them in boiling salted wa-

ter until crisp and tender for about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl of

ice water to cool them. Drain water and add beans to the peppers.

Vinaigrette: Whisk oil, vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper.

Pour over vegetables and mix well so vinaigrette will coat the beans. Taste for

seasoning. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least six hours or overnight.

Candy Cane-TiniGet it at Mackenzie River, Carmel Ingredients: 3 oz. Absolut vanilla, 1 oz. peppermint schnapps, mint leaf Directions: Shake with ice and stain into a candy cane rimmed martini glass. Garnish with mint.

CONGRATS!

Commentary by Sophie Pappas

What’s better at the holidays than gather-ing with friends and family over good food and

drinks? Nothing. Nothing is bet-ter. Unless you add cheese to the mix, which actually makes

any gathering more delicious … especially if it is goat cheese! This creamy, French-inspired favorite makes its way to many cheese trays, but it is my belief that it is entirely underused in recipes. Why serve it on a cracker, when you can bake it into something even better? Here are some simple goat cheese appetizers you can throw together in no time this holiday season.

Marinara and goat cheese dipThis recipe is about as easy as it gets.

(Truthfully, my 3-year-old could make this. It’s just that simple!) Plus, it’s always a crowd pleaser and can easily be doubled for larger parties.

Ingredients:• 1 jar your favorite marinara sauce • 8 ounces creamy goat cheese or chevron • 1 French baguette, sliced thinDirections: In a ceramic pie dish, pour the

marinara sauce in the dish, covering the entire base. Shape the cheese into a circle or log

and place in the middle of the dish on top of the marinara sauce. Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is warm and bubbly.

Serve with warm slices of French baguette. Cheese and walnut stuffed celery

Ingredients:• 4 celery stalks, cut into thirds• 7 ounces of your favorite creamy goat

cheese, at room temperature• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts• Honey for drizzling OR chopped dates for

garnishingDirections: Mix your walnuts and cheese

together. Spoon your cheese mixture into the celery slices.

Drizzle with honey before serving or top with chopped dates.

Blueprint for Improvement: Attic potential

Background Info: In the Brookside neighborhood in Westfield, this home was built in 2000 and had significant attic room the homeowners were ready to make use of.

The goal was to achieve a space that would serve as both a playroom and bedroom.

1. A large loft was designed to add a re-treat for the children to enjoy.

2. Dark wood accents complemented the bathroom cabinetry and contributed to the architectural features of the room.

3. Double storage areas were created throughout, allowing each child to have their own space.

4. A lantern sconce light was added to a small corner alcove creating the perfect reading nook.

5. A bathroom with a shower and double vanities was added transforming this space into the perfect retreat for years to come.

6. Deep blue paint and white trim created the perfect amount of aesthetically pleasing contrast.

befOre prObleMs:

Having ample space underutilized, the homeowners were eager to create a space their small children could enjoy and grow into. The unfinished space provided the perfect clean slate to meet the desires and needs of the homeowners as their children grow.
