Sometimes a gut instinct changes ev-erything. Robert Smith, recently-retired Westfield Fire Dept. fire chief, acted on his instinct 38 years ago.

Smith’s story begins as the owner of a Marathon gas station in Westfield. It was during this time that Smith responded with the fire department on crashes – not in a fire truck, but a tow truck.

According to John Barrett, WFD public information officer, Smith saw he could make a difference in his community and jumped at the opportunity to become a volunteer firefighter.

Smith balanced his business and volunteer position for five years. However, Smith even-tually decided to become a full-time fire-fighter in 1979, leaving his business behind.

As Smith worked his way up the fire-fighter ladder, he began his 13-year career as fire chief.

According to WFD Fire Chief Todd Burtron, Smith helped develop the depart-ment’s largest growing period: two new fire stations and a seven-fold increase in

firefighters. Burtron said Smith’s positive influence was only one component of his impact on the WFD.

“I cannot express this enough: Bobby changed people’s lives,” said Burtron. “For many of us, he is the main reason we’re firefighters. He has impacted all of us in some way. His legacy will live well beyond

any of us – I am sure of this.” Smith said he would repeat any mo-

ment in his career with the WFD.“If I had the chance to do it all over

again, I would,” Smith said. “I’d do it again in a heartbeat.”

Smith also serves as a Westfield City Council member.

Westfield Washington Schools has released the new Stakeholder Review for the district’s students, families and community to see how the district is progressing in the 2011-2016 Strategic Plan.

In August, the Board of School Trustees ap-proved a new five-year strategic plan for 2011-2016, which consists of aggressive goals to help drive the district’s vision for world-class achievement.

WWS Supt. Dr. Mark Keen presented the first 2011-2016 Stakeholder Review to the

school board at last week’s meeting to share the status of meeting the plan’s goals.

Cindy Keever, executive director of Quality Performance, further explained how the plan centers the district’s goals for career and college readiness.

“Today’s graduates need to be even more skilled and need to have reached greater levels of achievement than their parents needed just to enjoy equivalent success in their adult lives and careers,” Keever said.

According to Keever, the Stakeholder Re-view highlights the district is raising the bar by achieving more than a 90 percent graduation rate.

unleash your chic sidelesson by brandie bohney

Today’s topic is redundancy. In case you’re unfamiliar with the concept of redundancy, it is basically the needless repetition of similar words or concepts. It’s important to be aware of redundancy in your writing or speech because being precise and saying what you mean are im-portant. Another reason redundancy awareness is important, though, is redundancy is common.

Surely you’ve heard people chide the use of terms such as ATM machine and PIN number, and while those are obvious instances of ridiculous repetition, redundancy is frequently much sneakier.

Take, for example, the nightly news. How often have you heard the term armed gunman? He wouldn’t be much of a gunman if he weren’t armed, now would he? What about advanced warning? If you tell someone about something after it happens, it’s a report, not a warning. And consider my personal favorite redundant phrase: free gift. Gifts I have to pay to receive aren’t my favorites.

To complicate the matter further, some re-dundant statements are actually useful. Take, for example, the phrase absolutely essential. In

reality, being essential is an absolute, so adding absolutely is redundant. But if I were speaking to someone who, say, flies his personal jet to Mexico each weekend to golf, our definitions of essential may not be the same. He may think of

his jet as essential, and I may disagree. In such an instance, or in describing such an instance, I might add the adverb absolutely in order to drive home the point of one view of necessity versus luxury.

The point is this: While it’s good to be aware of the

possible redundancies in our speech and writing, it’s hard to eliminate needless repetition entirely. Any time you need to be precise or concise or both, checking for redundancies is an essential need. Un-intentional accidents in redundancy can make you appear foolish, and you don’t want to meet your final end because of repetitive redundancy.

None of the redundancies in the previous paragraph were necessary, by the way. I just enjoy excessively overdoing things.

Eliminating redundancy altogether

Young local artist to display his work in New York City and Washington D.C.

by lindsay Eckert • [email protected]

March is a month that sparks creativity for students all across the nation, and here in Indiana, the month is dedicated to the artistic perspective of elementary students.

Youth Art Month, sponsored by the Council for Art Educa-tion, celebrates children’s growing education by incorporating a flag competition. Students in every state are asked to create a flag with a theme. This year’s theme is “How art shapes the world.” Art teachers from all over the nation vote to name the winning flag for each state at YAM’s fall convention. The winning flags from each state move on to fly in New York City and Washington D.C.

Young artistic achievementAs students across the nation put their paintbrushes to paper,

they hope their creation will represent Indiana and fly at the na-tion’s capital. The two hands that created the winning flags were much closer to home.

Garrett Smith, Washington Woods Elemen-tary student, painted his perspective on how art shapes his world – a winning design.

According to Bev Staub, Washington Woods

elementary art teacher, the win-ning flags are chosen at the fall YAM convention where teachers all over the nation mark their favorite pictures with a Post-it Note. The names and schools aren’t listed anywhere on the paintings, so the judging process remains unbiased.

Staub said she was happily surprised to discover the painting covered with Post-it Notes was one created by one of her own students.

“Garrett is very deserving. We have a lot of deserving students, but he works so hard and is so focused in all aspects of his educa-tion and activities,” Staub said.

Staub added that calling the Smith family with results was as exciting for her as it was for them.

“I talked to Garrett’s mom. I didn’t get the chance to talk to Garrett, but I could just imagine his smiling face when he found out his painting won,” Staub said.

Art and athleticsSmith, the young artist who also enjoys soccer and sports, said

the idea for his piece was nearly instantaneous when he heard this year’s theme.

“Adding the American flag kind of popped in my head. I thought having our flag on a flag that will be in D.C. kind of made sense,” Smith said. “I used the paintbrushes over the world to show how they’re part of the world.”

Smith said his love for sports is an activity that may have helped him

achieve his big win. “I like

sports because I’m really active and I like to be moving. It’s fun and you use a lot of hand-eye co-ordination. That prob-ably helped me with my painting.”

Although Smith is an on-the-go fourth-grad-er, he said his interest in flags in

general in-spired him to

focus while paint-ing in Staub’s art class.

“If I’m doing something like art, it’s kind of like I’m not thinking about moving; I’m

thinking about what I’m doing,” Smith said. “I like to look at maps in my free time. I think they’re pretty

cool. They’re not just flags. You can see them in a lot of places besides just flying, such as in books, pictures and

drawings.”A painting for the sky

Smith said the idea of knowing his flag will be flying in two of the nation’s biggest cities, like the flags he studies in books, is a visual he’s counting down for.

“My flag is actually going to be flying with other flags, and I’ll get to compare the flags,” Smith said. “I can’t wait. I keep looking at the calendar and I’m waiting for it.”

Smith’s creation, along with other state winners, will be hon-ored in a special ceremony at the nation’s capital.

Art lessons for lifeStaub said the flag competition is just one example of how art

connects students with all subjects, and the world outside the classroom.

“Our school’s second-graders are studying communities. So we look at artists who have depicted their communities in different ways; we study how artists think about art. Through that, stu-dents learn to create,” Staub said. “When they go out into the big world, they can take all those ideas and make them their own. It puts them in touch with the world around them.”

It is our position that after the Chardon High School shooting, we should take threats made via social media posts seri-ously. 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 shoot-er, 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 free-dom of speech, but when the lives of in-nocent 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 re-spect 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 ap-propriate action to help prevent tragedies like the one at CHS.

As we follow the political theater (nightmar-ish as it is) that’s unfolding during the primaries and President Barack Obama’s re-election cam-paign, we’re often stunned the issue of increas-ing 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 mas-sive fraud and incompetence by our govern-ment, 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 Sen-ate’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.

“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.”

Commentary by Terry Anker

During the past 100 years or so, we have in-verted the percentage of our population direct-ly engaged in agriculture. In fact, about 94 or so out of every 100 Americans then identified their primary occupation as farm or agriculture related. Today, the number would be closer to 4 percent. To be sure, there are a number of very good reasons for the shift – chief amongst them is the advent of technology allowing a single human to produce a previously unimagined a bounty. The ravenous appetite for capital to run a land-based small business is another. And, changing generational expectations, in-cluding an incorrect (I believe) assumption that folks who work with hands, as well as mind, are lesser.

So, if no one is working in food, why aren’t we starving? Happily, those few who remain are smarter, better educated and more productive than ever before. And on Thursday; we honor them with Agriculture Day. Isn’t it as much to remind us of the origin of our own din-

ners? Yet, these are generous folk. The Legacy Fund of Hamilton County’s Mark Robins says, “Farmers embody many of the attributes we all admire – responsibility, hard work, plan-ning and giving.” He points to a LF initiated program allowing individuals and families, at harvest, to commit a portion of their grain to philanthropy. “Several farmers have created their own charitable accounts with LF. We work closely with them as they give back to the community they believe has given them so much.” Aren’t we getting the better part of this bargain? If they stopped working, how many of us would starve? Whether with corn chips or tasty bacon, isn't their generosity the ultimate way they manage to feed all of us? If you are full, remember to thank a farmer. And if you feel abundance, call LF.

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 sav-ing 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 heav-ily!) 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 disserta-tion 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 be-ing finished. Even scarier, I honestly don’t even know if I’m doing this correctly.

Sure, Turbo Tax walks you through the pro-cess 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 obnox-ious 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 exemp-tions 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.

21st Century Divorce and Custody BattlesCommunicating with your former (or soon-to be former) spouse can be difficult. Emotions and disputes often make civil conversations difficult. However, it’s easier than ever to communicate without ever even speaking. Between email, social media and texting, we can now have a dialogue with pretty much anyone and never have to see them in person. On the reverse side of that, emails, social media and texts can be used to enhance or detract from your case in a divorce or custody battle. Attorney Clarissa Finnell, a seasoned attorney who practicesexclusively in the area of family law, explains that using

electronic substantiation has become prevalent in her family law cases. Finnell explains, “Often times, a client comes in with emails or text messages to be submitted to the court to prove the spouse participating in inappropriate behavior, infidelity etc.” However, Finnell also warns that this very same documentation can also be used against the client. Finnell gives several tips on how to use technology in your favor for your divorce or custody dispute.• Limit communication. Do not engage in or reply to any communication unless it’s directly related to the children. Communication should be limited to information about children’s well-being, parenting time, education etc. This includes texts, emails and online private messages. • Communication is important. While limiting communication is important, it’s also important not to withhold child-related information. • Communicate via documented channels. Conversations over the phone can’t be documented. Emails and texts are much easier to submit to the court. Establish a preferred method to communicate with your ex-spouse and keep all communications, when possible, through this method. • Save any emails, texts, Facebook posts or any other information you would like to submit to the court, but keep in mind that your ex-spouse can do the same. This is why it is important to abstain from any communication that isn’t informational or about the children.• Do not post anything online that you wouldn’t want the court to see. Anything you post online including your status updates, pictures and even jobs you apply for can be used in court. This also includes information and pictures of your children.

We face an entirely new world in the 21st Century filled with great technological advances that can be very helpful to limit disputes in custody or divorce disputes. The finger-pointing of “he-said/she-said” in court willalways be there, but it’s now much easier to substantiate these claims with electronic back-up.

If you are interested in assistance with your divorce or custody situation, please contact HARDEN JACKSON LLC at 317-569-0770 or www.hardenjacksonlaw.com.The above is for informational purposes only should not be considered legal advice. Each case is unique and you should consult an attorney for advice regarding your particular situation.

laughs by Dick wolfsie

I’m a sucker for bookstores. My newest book purchase is “Keep Your Brain Alive: 83 Neu-robic Exercises.” For a fathead like me, this is the perfect read. The author contends there is not enough unpredictability in our lives. We get into a rut because our brains take the easi-est paths – the routes we are most accustomed to. Dr. Lawrence Katz throws in some cerebral references to axons, dendrites and synapses to make it all sound very scientific, but it was lost on me. After all, I flunked biology.

This book encourages you to use each of your senses in new and innovative ways. One of the author’s suggestions is to brush your teeth with your nondominant hand, thus creating some new neural pathways. I tried it one night and found the experience enlightening. I then used my other hand to clean the toothpaste out of my nose.

In order to enhance your appreciation for good food, insert earplugs and maintain silence for the entire time you are having dinner. This permits you to fully relish what is on your pal-ate. I tried this for almost a week before my wife noticed anything out of the ordinary. Another exercise is to hold your nose when you put food in your mouth so you can focus on its texture. That normally would have really ticked off Mary

Ellen, but she was blindfolded. She must be reading the same book.

For another experience, change cars with your neighbor for a day. Have the thrill of handling a different kind of vehicle, maybe an SUV or a minivan. Of course, if you forget to tell the guy next door before you do this, you can then look forward to a new tactile experience: having your hands cuffed behind your back.

My favorite suggestion is to eliminate the traditional grocery list. Instead of jotting down the name of each item, write a description in-stead so you can fully appreciate its qualities. “It’s about the size and shape of a small soccer ball, tannish, heavily veined and dimpled on one end,” is one example provided by the au-thor. I think he’s talking about a cantaloupe, yet it also sounds like my brain or my rear end. But it couldn’t be my brain. After reading this entire book, I’m sure I’ve lost my mind.

Commentary by Derek Todd

I always thought equipment didn’t help to make the athlete successful, but it was the mental motivation and natural-born talent that propelled one to greatness. I was proud I didn’t need fancy running clothes or the latest track shoe technology to do well in sports. However, at nearly 30 years old, the motivation to stay in shape with no reason to do so makes it difficult for this former athlete to be great at anything.

Looking to shed some pounds, I recently joined We Run Westfield, a group of Westfield employees and residents training for this year’s Indianapolis Mini-Marathon. I began my train-ing a few weeks ago and it has been torture. A typical run usually ends with me sucking air for dear life while lying on the floor of my living room praying I don’t die. And every time I fin-ish a run, I think to myself there is no way I am going to be able to do it all over again the next day. So how does one stay motivated?

The health benefits of exercise have been scien-tifically proven. But that doesn’t mean I’m going to want to go on a brisk run rather than sit on my couch and eat a pint of Handel’s Ice Cream while watching reruns of “Seinfeld.” Recently,

I’ve found motivation to exercise by hanging two pictures on my refrigerator – one when I was younger, skinner and healthier, and the other a picture of me taken when I was overweight and in bad lighting. This way, whenever I walk to the kitchen, I am reminded of the person I used to be before I began living my couch potato lifestyle.

I have also found benefits to exercising with a friend or group of people that have the same fitness goals as me. Do I try to find someone more overweight and out of shape than me so I can feel better about myself – sure. But the im-portance of having an accountability partner or partners keeps me motivated because we are able to support each other to work harder and stick with our fitness goals.

Think about things that help motivate you. Maybe it’s seeing a picture of your out-of-shape self, or the support of a fitness part-ner. Whatever it is, get up off the couch and start moving toward a healthier you.

nEw hEArT ThrEAT – Researchers have new evidence showing the ever-present plastic chemical, bisphenol A, is striking humans where it really hurts – the heart. British researchers studied 750 people with coronary artery dis-ease and 860 without. Those with heart disease tended to have higher levels of BPA in their urine a decade prior, when all the participants were healthy. It’s difficult to pinpoint the strength of the link between BPA and heart disease, says lead author Dr. David Melzer of Peninsula Medi-cal School. And because the study was observa-tional, the results don’t prove cause and effect. But BPA mimics estrogen and blocks the effects of male hormones. These hormonal shifts have been shown to contribute to heart troubles. -www.menshealth.com

DOUGh Business

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 deep-fried goodness to haul home the booty.

He’d freeze the chicken and, when we got home from school, we’d microwave it. Sounds ridicu-lously 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.

Friendly bacteria can play a best support-ing role in your dog’s digestive health.

Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that live in the digestive tract. There are a variety of different species belonging to genre that in-clude Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, Strep-tococcus and Enterococcus. Some species, such as Lactobacillus, live primarily in the small intestine, while others, such as Bifida-bacteria, reside in the large intestine.

Benefits: All dogs can benefit from probi-otic, which aid digestion and modulate the immune system. Probiotic produce short-chain fatty acids, which inhibit the growth and activity of harmful bacteria, such as E. coli, Salmonella and Clostridium perfringens, as well as providing other benefits to the intestines. Human studies have documented the effectiveness of certain strains in treating

diarrhea, irritable bowel and intestinal inflammation (fewer studies have been conducted on dogs) … probiotic may help prevent urinary tract infections, and can even reduce allergic re-actions by decreasing intestinal permeability and controlling inflammation.

Cautions: Some probiotic species require refrigeration in order to remain viable; follow label recommendations for storage. There are always questions on how many survive passage through stomach acid into the diges-tive tract, and whether they then colonize or must be continually replenished.

When using products intended for dogs, follow label suggestions for dosage. When using human products, give the full dosage to dogs weighing 40 pounds or more. Reduce the dos-age for smaller dogs or if you see loose stools.

Be sure to check with your local dog food professional for available products.

As a side note, some pet foods have been recalled due to the possible presence of Afla-toxin (mold by-product).

Certain lots of various dog food have been recalled because

they were manufactured with corn that tested above acceptable levels for aflatoxin, accord-ing to recall alerts from the Food and Drug Administration.

Recalled foods include Iams Smart Puppy ProActive Health Dry Dog Food, by Procter & Gamble, and River Run Dry Dog Food and Marksman Dry Dog Food by Nutrena, a division of Cargill Animal Nutrition.

ChAin Of CAT fECES CAn hArM huMAnS – There's more to cat excrement than meets the eye, and it may have the potential to cause disease in sea ot-ters and humans alike. A young cat can shed up to 100 million oocysts – little egg-like struc-tures – in its feces. All it takes is one oocyst to cause an infec-tion of Toxoplasma gondii. Largely, the par-asite is asymptomatic in hu-mans, but it can sometimes cause prob-lems for infants born to infected mothers – including hearing loss, mental disability and blindness. People with compromised immune systems may also develop serious complications. Up to 25 percent of Americans are infected with toxoplasmosis, and in some parts of Europe, it's as much as 50 percent. Humans carry it throughout their lives. -www.thechart.blogs.cnn

LIFESTYLE In your home

Decorating by vicky Earley

Ahhh … if only we could tap into a nice, neat formula to ensure our decorating endeav-ors would be a smashing hit.

The size of the dining room chandelier begs on its hands and knees for such a formula. After all, it is simple geometry, right? Well, sort of.

When a client asks for such a formula, we supply them with the basics:

In general, the dining room fixture should have a diameter half the diameter of the tabletop. For instance, if the table were a rect-angle of 48 inches wide by 72 inches long, a 24-inch diameter would be perfect. If the table were a 60-inch round diameter, a 30-inch diameter chandelier would work. In most cases, I advise clients to err on the larger size since a “too small” fixture can ruin the look of the room.

The height of the actual chandelier is usually determined by the ceiling height of the room. We follow the rule of allowing 2 1/2 inches to 3 inches for each foot of height. Us-ing this formula, a room with an 8-foot ceiling can use a chandelier approximately 20 inches to 24 inches in height. If the ceiling is 10 feet

high, then a light fixture 25 inches to 30 inches would look more appropriate.

Just when you thought your decorating life would be easier, keep in mind these are just guidelines … not hard rules! Consider the style

and density of the fixture in question, and you can push those guidelines aside.There is still the subjective element that

insists on having a say! For instance, if a fixture is heavy visu-

ally with an abundance of crystal or metal, it might work better if the fixture is on

the smaller side. A visually light chandelier can be a little wider in diameter.

Don’t forget to be present when the perfect fixture is

installed. Although the rule of thumb for distance from table to fix-

ture is approximately 30 inches, there is nothing like a human eye to make the

final decision. A few chain links can make a huge difference.

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 expand-ing 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 homeown-ers 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 start-ing 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 foot-ings, 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 con-struction 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.”
