Friday nights mean dodgeball for kids

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Each Friday night, a group of about 20 Fishers High School boys drill each other with balls for fun.

“It’s nothing fancy,” Dodgeball Club sponsor Lee Banitt said. “We don’t have unidiversion forms. It’s just a real informal club where we get a bunch of kids together. They pick teams and they play dodgeball once a week.”

Sophomore Ethan Hale-Pate said a group of friends went to a dodgeball tournament at homecoming.

“We all just thought it would be a good deal to start a club,” Hale-Pate said.

So Hale-Pate got the club application paperwork from the main office and then asked Banitt, his chemistry teacher, if he would be the club sponsor.

The club started meeting in November, one hour a week to play. The game is simple. Two teams of players try to hit opposing players with balls while avoiding being hit themselves. The team with the last player standing wins.

“It’s a good way to hang out with your friends,” said Hale-Pate, who plays tennis for Fishers.

The club meets between 6 and 7 p.m. in the auxiliary gym so they are finishing playing if there is a home varsity basketball game.

Hale-Pate said the club is open to boys and girls, but no girls have signed up so far.

“It’s mostly freshmen and sophomores right now,” said Hale-Pate, who said the group definitely plans to play next school year.

Most schools stopped playing dodgeball in gym classes at the elementary and middle school level for fear of kids getting hurt or being bullied.

“We’re not allowed to play any more (in Fishers),” said Hale-Pate, who said he only played the game a little when he was younger.

Banitt said all the club members had to sign a waiver in case of an injury.

Banitt said he expects the club to keep meeting until the end of the semester.

“As long as there is still interest, we’ll keep going,” Banitt said.

“It’s a good way to hang out with your friends.”

Locally-owned Myart Art School in Fishers offers a variety of classes, workshops and events for kids and adults who are either art beginners or more experienced. Myart operates studios in Fishers, Carmel, Noblesville and Zionsville and the Fishers location is at 12244 East 116th St. on the Rita’s Backyard property.

Sylvia Runningen is the owner of the Fishers, Noblesville and Carmel Myart schools. Runningen is an art teacher who taught with Myart before buying the business and opening the Fishers location. She believes art can be taught. “We are all about teaching,” said Runningen. “We want to be able to teach kids and adults drawing skills plus skills to be able to use all the different art mediums.”

Kids can start taking weekly art classes at the age of 4. Myart teachers have an arts background and are trained to teach the guided method of drawing. Class sizes are kept small.

“The kids can learn a lot more,” Runningen stated. “We have more time to spend on the art pieces. Children do have a passion for art and in our classes they are given the time to practice their creativity.”

Natalie Robbins’ second-grade daughter recently started taking a Myart class in Fishers.

“Our daughter loves to draw so we thought a class at Myart would be a great way to have her

do something she enjoys,” said Robbins. “After the first class our daughter loved it and said she couldn’t wait until it was Tuesday again so she could go back!”

The city of Fishers has an active art scene to which Myart contributes. “Anyone that takes our classes is usually more aware of art activities that are going on, such as art shows, said Runningen.

Those interested in upcoming classes, art camps or scheduled painting events should visit the Myart website at www.myartindy.com/.

Center helps with Down syndrome

By Beth Taylor • beth@youarecurrent.com Gigi’s Playhouse began when Nancy Gianni made a promise to her daughter, Gigi, that she would help the special needs world look beyond her diagnosis.

After attending a support group in a sterile hospital room, Gianni decided to create a place for kids like Gigi – a place where they could grow and learn with kids just like them and moms could find a community of support.

At Gigi’s Playhouse, children participate in individualized programming in a fun environment.

Therapeutic and educational opportunities are available to help with speech development and motor skills.

Megan Peck, the president of Gigi’s Playhouse Indianapolis became familiar with the center through professional experiences working with children with developmental disabilities. She had worked in the field for ten years before her son, Nolan, was born in 2012 with Down syndrome.

“After the guilt and anger subsided, I knew that I wanted a Gigi’s Playhouse here,” said Peck.

She contacted the headquarters and was put on a franchise waiting list. “I don’t do a good job of sitting around and waiting. I got a board together, and followed the steps needed by the headquarters. In March of 2013, we received word that we were the next location,” she said.

Each Gigi’s Playhouse franchise is operated

by volunteers, and the programming is provided at no cost. “With all the therapy costs, it adds up – Gigi’s is such a unique place where parents can go and not worry about anything,” said Beth Meehan, a Fishers resident and board member of Gigi’s Playhouse Indianapolis.

“Kids with Down syndrome have low muscle tone, so this therapy can help supplement other therapies the kids might experience,” said Meehan. She looks forward to her two-year-old son attending the learning center. “It’s a great place where he can feel normal and have fun,” she said.

The Gigi’s Playhouse Indianapolis grand opening is 2 to 4 p.m. Jan. 24 at 5909 E. 86th St.

Commentary by Larry Lannan The Hamilton Southeastern (HSE) School Corporation was thrown a life line for another school year, but some tough schools decisions are ahead. Just how tough those decisions will be is up to Indiana state lawmakers.

HSE’s Chief Financial Officer Mike Reuter outlined the grim news for the school board last year. He said revenues and expenses were on an unsustainable track. A budget cutting committee was formed, charged with finding ways to save money for the coming two school years. For the current (2014-15) school year, the board approved a long list of budget trimming items.

The largest single budget cutting area was an increase in employee health insurance deductibles. Employees are now paying more out of pocket for their health care to avoid worker layoffs.

That left the 2015-16 school year where about the same budget shortfall was forecast. The City of Fishers and Fall Creek Township stepped forward to buy land HSE Schools owned but had no need to utilize at this time. The purchased land will be used by the city and township governments for parks, fire stations and other uses.

The proceeds from those sales will keep HSE Schools going one more school year.

What happens after the 2015-16 school year is largely up to the Indiana General Assembly. If the

legislature approves more funding for suburban and rural school systems around the state, that would be good news for HSE Schools. If the current system continues, or if only a modest change in the school funding formula is enacted, then HSE Schools will be faced with another funding dilemma.

Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness has joined HSE School Board members and others in the local community to fight for better state funding of our local schools. The Speaker of the Indiana House, Brian Bosma, has publicly said he wants more funding for education and a look at the equity in the current state school funding formula. The Indiana Senate will be a more difficult venue to enact changes to help school funding for systems like HSE. Without help from the Indiana General Assembly, voters in the HSE School Corporation will be asked to augment funds for local schools through a referendum. The only question is how much the local school board will request from taxpayers.

What the state does to school funding will greatly impact how much HSE Schools will request from taxpayers in a future referendum.

Chiropractic office hosts workshop

By Nancy Edwards • news@currentinfishers.com Each year, millions of Americans make that resolution to start dieting. Billions of dollars are spent on weight loss healthy living products. Many are even desperate enough to try the latest fad diet, although dangerously unhealthy, from ingesting pills containing tapeworms, to eating nothing but Twinkies, to smoking cigarettes as opposed to eating.

“Many people abandon these crash/fad diets when life gets stressful or time is short,” explained Dr. Kyle Peacock of Fishers-based Peacock Family Chiropractic.

“We have more products and marketing put into diets than any other country, yet we are ahead of the pack when it comes to obesity,” he continued. “With 63 percent of (all) adults overweight and 36 percent obese, America is getting worse from year to year, not better.”

Considering these grim statistics and diet failures, is there a way that busy professionals raising families have a chance for successful and sustainable weight loss while staying healthy?

Peacock Family Chiropractic, a Maximized Living Health Center, is inviting residents to attend a workshop, “Maximized Living Makeover: Lose to Win,” at 9 a.m. on Feb. 7 to educate those interested in effective and realistic nutrition plans, workouts that burn more fat in less time, under-

About "Reflections" "The shiny reflections in wet roads, sunlight through flower petals, the highlighted colors that are more easily see, and the halo on an edge of a silhouette are all examples of “glow.” Rather than concentrate on the actual objects, I create a feeling or atmosphere and then work the representation of the items in afterwards. I have attempted to portray this “glow” in my paintings."

Think of what really appeals to you. You only have one life. You should just as well live your dreams. People all the time tell me they wish they could do what I did.

The first Fishers City Hall art installment by acclaimed Indiana artist Tom Slack was celebrated at a public reception on Jan. 9. The cover story “Reflections” exhibit features 45 of Slack’s oils on canvas, which highlight his eye for detail.

Slack submitted art work in June of last year to meet the call out deadline by the Fishers Arts Council.

“I kind of forgot about it, so I was greatly surprised when I heard from them,” said Slack.

Slack’s success as an artist almost didn’t happen.

He had always wanted to pursue art, but was persuaded by his parents to focus on a career at which he could make a living. The father of seven children, Slack built an expected 9-to-5 career in sales while living in Utah. One afternoon, while in between sales calls, Slack went for a drive, meandering up a mountain road. Going farther than he intended, he became stuck in a deep snowdrift. Hours later, feeling cold and scared, he feared he would die in his car.

Despondent, Slack’s deep regret over never having pursued what he truly wanted to do in life—create art—overwhelmed him.

After spending the frigid night in his Toyota Corolla, Slack knew that he needed to get out of his car.

Struggling through the snow and ice, he fell on his back. He next remembers being back at home—someone found him and helped him get back home to his family. He had several injuries and needed time to recover.

As soon as he was well enough, he quit his sales job. “My wife’s reaction was very encouraging and supportive. She said, ‘finally, it’s about time’,” said Slack.

In 1995, 44-year-old Slack enrolled in art classes at Salt Lake City Community College and took a night job to make ends meet. He continued his art education at the University of Utah, and in 1998, he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in fine art and drawing.

When two of their six daughters received college swimming scholarships in Indiana and stayed after graduating, Slack and his wife, Norene, relocated to be closer to their grandchildren. She is his business manager and helps him decide what to paint. “When I ask her what to do, her suggestions are always just right,” said Slack.

Slack has five easels; some days he paints for 19 hours, other days he paints for two. “When I feel inspired to do it, that’s when I do it. I work on four or five paintings at a time, so I work one until I get burned out on it,” he said.

His ideas come from everyday life, such as seeing the beauty in the reflections of a car’s tail light on a rainy night. “A lot of times, inspiration comes from things that most people wouldn’t notice,” he said.

People and places are often the subject of his paintings. “I love to travel. I love all of Britain, Sweden, Germany and France. I’ve painted Venice scenes four times.”

One of his favorite paintings, “On Grandma’s patio,” depicts his young children and their cousins enjoying lunch around an outdoor table. “The moment was completely unstaged and natural. It inspired me, so I painted it,” he said.

As a father, Slack encouraged his children to follow their dreams. “I told my kids that they could do anything they wanted. I encouraged them to go for the opportunities that made them excited,” he said.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Where only true leaders are needed We’re sure you’ve heard the fallout about President Barack Obama’s no-show at the Paris anti-terrorism march, which drew “dozens of world leaders” on Jan. 11. Quite frankly, we don’t understand what all the fuss is about. Everything we’ve read and heard about the incident emphasized how the event drew “world leaders,” several of which represent some of America’s closest allies, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, French President Francois Hollande, British Prime Minister David Cameron, Spanish Minister Mariana Rajoy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, among others. In Obama’s defense, the key words are, as we see it, “world leaders,” and, as such, Obama simply doesn’t qualify. Therefore, we don’t see reason for the uproar regarding his absence. As the White House fumbled for a response to enquiring reporters, it cited security concerns as one reason behind his absence; however, it was comforting to know security standards were met when, on the day following the march, Jan. 12, the “leader of the free world” accepted a San Antonio Spurs jersey, when he honored the team’s 2014 NBA championship. Brave soul, he.

••• College football crowned its first playoff champion last Monday, when Ohio State defeated Oregon in the inaugural game. On the non-football side of the equation, it was refreshing to see a Super Bowl-type atmosphere functioning not with corporate types in the stands and at the various related venues, but with true fans of the teams or college football in general. Bands, cheerleaders, stadium-wide chants … it all made for a fine experience, when the opposite could have happened.

The elephant in the room

Commentary by Terry Anker

Can being polite ever be a bad thing? In the Victorian age, we were encumbered with a plethora of topics deemed “impolite” and to be avoided, especially in mixed company, at all costs.

Money, sex, health, politics and religion all made the taboo list. And, in many Asian cultures, the interaction between a woman and her physician was greatly restricted, providing an ivory doll to which the stricken female was to demurely point to the general region of discomfort so that the attending doctor could plot a course of medical treatment. It would seem that death by embarrassment was a real possibility.

How much more enlightened and insightful have we become? Our society will openly discuss all manner of Kardashian proclivity in prime time.

The Family Guy reminds our youth from the time they jump off the bus until the wee hours of the morning that there is no taboo that should not be transgressed. One could certainly debate the merits of this kind of open discourse; but, it

is pointless to imagine that we’d ever return to an era where important, even life-endangering, matters are not openly discussed. Yet as our malls have become little more than stadiums for the Ultimate Gang Fighting Championships and innocent police officers are executed in some imagined noble quest of retaliation, why do we still blush if someone acknowledges that the culture of a community might be a consideration in the conversation about how to improve our social ailments? Anyone with an Internet connection and the inclination can review scores of videos of shopping center hoodlums terrorizing shopkeepers and customers alike. Shouldn’t we be talking about what we see? If there is an elephant in the room, does our shamed silence really help?

Our nation has all sorts of arcane, nonsensical laws on the books. Each week, we’ll share one with you. In Ohio, women are prohibited from wearing patent leather shoes in public.

I have found the best way to give advice to your children is to find out what they want and then advise them to do it.

News flash: If you dislike my column, DON’T READ IT! Seriously, no one is making you sit down with your cup of organic coffee and peruse my articles. Turn the page, avert your eyes, or simply toss the paper straight into recycling. But don’t e-mail to tell me I’m a terrible mother or that my husband Doo is an abusive spouse. Don’t send letters that ask how in the world my children will remain out of prison and/or fat camp or how I must find Jesus to save my soul from eternal damnation (a path I’m clearly on!) You can certainly keep on judging me and my choices; I’m just asking that you keep the mean stuff to yourself.

I’m not exactly sure where the current string of personal criticism was spawned. I’ve kept my topics non-controversial and rather benign, and focused mostly on the antics of my four children and bald Sugar Daddy. Until last week, I’d had a fairly good run of little to no hate mail. Nevertheless, recent expressions of “distaste” dictate the need for the following reminders about my column.

• I’m a math teacher with neither a degree in English nor in journalism. I rely on my good wits, Spellcheck, and my amazing editors to keep me in the “language clear.” Occasionally I invent words or deliberately [meaning: on purpose] defy the laws of grammar. Basically, I write how I speak, which almost always includes nonsensical vocabulary and incomplete sentences. So there.

• Doo and I have been married for 18 years.

We still laugh a lot, enjoy spending time together and periodically frustrate the bejeesus out of each other. I choose to share the aggravating moments because they’re far more interesting and entertaining. This should in no way imply that we’re headed for divorce. Trenton again, perhaps, but not divorce.

• I believe my children are healthy, happy and acceptably well-adjusted. True, they fight incessantly, have messy rooms, don’t make their school sports’ teams, sometimes eat PopTarts for dinner, are addicted to all forms of “electronical” devices, and occasionally get grounded for bad grades. I imagine they’re like most kids. I’m not ruling out future therapy or incarceration, I’m just saying they are normal.

• My writing motto is and always has been, “Keep it Real!” If you want to read about Stepford wives, look elsewhere.

So let’s keep the meanness to yourselves, people! Peace out.

Whose line is it, anyway?

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie What makes great one-liners? They are often wonderful insights, plays on words humor or mis-directions in thinking. Below are just a few of my favorites that I collected during the year 2014. Some are far older than that, but they were new to me and made me smile. I hope they do the same for you.

Think of it as a belated Christmas gift. Next week you have to read my jokes (Note: when I know whose line it is, I give proper credit. But using other people’s jokes is not unheard of. After all, that’s how I got this column written.)

I told people I wanted to be a comic when I grew up. They laughed at me. They’re not laughing now. (Bob Monkhouse) My parents were here for a long visit. I took them to the airport today. The plane leaves next Thursday. (Margaret Smith) At the hotel, I asked for a wake-up call at 6:30 a.m. The phone rang and the clerk said, “You’re a loser, quit wasting your life.” (Demetri Martin) I was a ballerina but I quit when I injured a groin muscle. It wasn’t mine. (Rita Rudner) When people ask me how I am getting to the airport, I say, “Well, I’m flying to one of them.

(Steven Wright) I asked my date what she wanted to drink.

She said, “Oh, I guess I’ll have champagne.” I said, Guess again.” (Slappy White)

I used to pray every night for a new bike. Then I realized God doesn’t work that way. So I stole a bike and asked him to forgive me. (Emo Philips) I intend to live forever. So far so good. (Steven Wright) Why do they lock gas station bathrooms? Are they afraid someone will clean them?

If I’m the best man at a wedding, why is she marrying him? (Seinfeld) I make the beds, do the dishes and the laundry. Six months later, I have to start all over again. (Joan Rivers) If it wasn’t for Venetian Blinds, it would be curtains for all of us. (Eric Morecambe) A woman with a clipboard stopped me in the street and asked if I I had a minute for cancer research. I said, “Sure, but we won’t get much done.”

Guns don’t kill people, people kill people. And so do monkeys, if they have a gun. (Eddie Izzard) I have kleptomania. But when it gets bad, I take something for it. (Ken Dodd) I don’t care what the newspapers say about me, as long as they don’t tell the truth. (Katherine Hepburn)

CSO hosts The Texas Tenors

By Dawn Pearson• news@currentinfishers.com

Saluting our veterans with half-price tickets for a star spangled night of music, the Carmel Symphony Orchestra marches into the second music half of its 39th season hosting the “The Texas Tenors” performance at 8 p.m. Jan. 30 and 31, at the Palladium.

Kicking off the New Year “The Texas Tenors,” a classically trained trio infused with country roots presented

by Pedcor Companies, will be in Carmel. And according to Clint Reeves with the CSO they are the highestranking vocal group of all time on that and were once on the America’s Got Talent television show. “’The Texas Tenors’ routinely sell out performances all over the world,” Reeves stated. “These two concerts mark their Central Indiana debut and are not included on the subscription season. All veterans receive half off their individual ticket purchase.”

David Bowden is the artistic director of the CSO and will be conducting this show and is excited about the show and other performances presented this season.

Bowden “‘The Texas Tenors’ are nothing short of a cultural phenomenon." Bowden said. "They combine such a versatility of style, with warmth, charisma, stunning vocal artistry, a sense of playfulness and depth of feeling that makes them a hit with audiences everywhere they perform.” “The Carmel Symphony is enormously excited to be able to present them in a tribute to those who serve and have served.”

To purchase tickets, call the CSO office at 844-9717.

Edit o r ’ s hi g h l i g ht

Wine night at the creamery is Jan. 28.

Other CSO performances “We are delighted to present such a variety of performers and musical styles,” said director David Bowden. “The significant partnerships with regional organizations and the flair and sparkle of world-class guest artists make this an extraordinary season of music from the heart and for the soul.”

At select concerts, ticket-holders are invited to arrive early at 6:45 p.m. for Music Matters featuring David Bowden for a behindthe-scenes discussion of the music of the evening.

• In a special Valentine’s Day performance on Feb. 14, the CSO pays tribute to Marvin Hamlisch with Indiana University’s The Singing Hoosiers – along with pianist Fred Moyer, an audience favorite – in A Musical Valentine: Through the Eyes of Love. The program includes music from A Chorus Line, Ice Castles, Sophie’s Choice, The Way We Were, including the titles One, Nobody Does It Better and I Finally Found Someone. Moyer will play Addinsell’s Warsaw Concerto and The Entertainer from “The Sting.”

• Ellis Island: The Dream of America, presented March 14, is a sweeping multi-media work featuring actors and video projection. The work is a powerful testament to the experience of thousands of immigrants who entered America through that iconic portal – a reminder that, for so many who have come here, America has been a symbol of freedom and opportunity for a new life. Wasson’s American Fanfare and Dvoák’s Cello Concerto round out this program.

• On April 11, the CSO will present the medalists of the pre-eminent International Violin Competition of Indianapolis in Gold-SilverBronze. Each winner will perform a solo work with the orchestra.

The concert also features two Ravel pieces – Pavane for a Dead Princess and Daphnis and Chloe Suite No. 2 – as well as Kabalevsky’s Overture to Colas Breugnon.

• Family Fun! – the Carmel Symphony’s signature interactive family concert – returns on March 29. In this popular Sunday afternoon concert designed to delight and spark the imagination, the orchestra performs excerpts of the world’s great classics in “Greatest Hits for Kids.” Children of all ages are invited on stage to watch music being made, and afterwards are encouraged to try out the instruments they just heard at the Instrument Petting Zoo. The concert also features a performance by the winner of the Carmel Symphony’s 34th Annual Young Artist Competition.

Does appearance match feeling?

Commentary by Mandy Cook

Be honest: You feel much younger than you look, correct? Most of us do.

Research featured in the December issue of the Journal of the American wellness Medical Association found that 70 percent of nearly 6,500 surveyed subjects feel at least three years younger than their actual age. It’s no surprise, then, that many of us seek ways to get our outward appearance to match our inner youthfulness.

I see a lot of clients that come in because they’re concerned with aging. It’s wrinkles, enlarged pores, spots, sagging skin and other such issues.

Popular non-invasive procedures include hair reduction, skin fillers, chemical peels, laser treatments and Botox. As with skin, hair also plays a role in our self-image and confidence - especially when there’s too much of it where we’d rather see none.

I recall a client, whose facial hair made her uneasy about pursuing a job promotion. After just a couple hair-removal treatments, her confidence grew enough to apply for that position, which she got. And therein lies the greatest benefit of investing in one’s appearance. If a small cosmetic tweak makes you feel better, you’ll have more energy, and face people and situations differently. Your confidence carries on to everything else you do.

Whether one wishes to tweak his or her appearance, I encourage men and women to invest in themselves - even if just taking a few minutes to breathe, turn off the phone and treat themselves to some relaxation. When you feel better, you’re a better person.

What kind of happy are you?

Be aware of glaucoma dangers

Commentary by Dr. Tammy Wittmann

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that randomly steal your sight without warning and often without symptoms. vision In a healthy eye, there is a balance that is achieved between fluid produced in the eye and fluid leaving the eye. But with glaucoma, either too much fluid is produced or not enough leaves the eye. Either of these problems increases the pressure in your eyes.

Continuous elevated pressure damages the optic nerve. It’s important to note that it is this damage that is glaucoma, not high pressure. About 30 percent of patients with glaucoma have what is considered normal pressure for the eyes.

If left untreated, damage to the optic nerve can lead to vision loss and even blindness. Here is a true case in my practice. I saw a 72-year-old man who was a farmer. He had never had a comprehensive eye examination. His distance vision was always pretty good but he started wearing over the counter readers in his late 40’s. When he was 72 he realized the readers were no longer helping

his vision so he came to see me. Unfortunately he had end-stage glaucoma in both eyes and the optic nerve was irreversibly damaged. There were no prescription glasses that could help him see better. There were no treatments that could bring back his vision. The only thing we could do was to try to save his remaining vision, which by this time was like a very restricted tunnel.

There are several treatment options available when glaucoma is caught soon enough. Your eye doctor may suggest eye drops, a laser procedure or a surgical procedure depending on the type and severity of your glaucoma.

This is only one reason for a seemingly healthy person with 20/20 vision to get an annual comprehensive eye examination. Call your eye doctor and schedule yours today if you haven’t already.

Strategies to Get the Lowest Mortgage Rate • Get a second appraisal. Ask the lender for a copy of the appraiser’s report. It might be worth challenging the appraisal by paying for a second appraisal with the same lender if the lender is willing.

• Do a “cash-in refinance.” Homeowners who have sufficient cash can pay down their mortgages to reach the required equity levels.

• Refinance through the Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP). The website www.

Rearranging a floor plan for better flow

EXISTING HOME: After fulfilling a dream of purchasing a river side home in the heart of downtown Noblesville, blueprint for the homeowners set improvement out to update their 1940’s home to accommodate their love of family, cooking and reading.

“The house wasn’t set up for the way we live our daily lives. It lacked storage space for our book collection. The kitchen was so cramped that we couldn’t cook together as a couple and the dining room didn’t flow well for hosting our large family.”

NEW FLOOR PLAN: The kitchen was gutted and a wall removed to create one large open space. The adjacent living room was transformed into the new dining room. To improve the natural flow, the existing doorway leading into the family room was enclosed and two new doorways were added on each end of the wall. The improved floor plan functions better and allows space to add built-in bookcases in the family room and the new dining room.

KITCHEN DETAILS: Maple cabinetry in an “Arctic” finish fills the enlarged kitchen with abundant storage space. The multi-purpose island includes integrated shelving for cookbooks and seating space for three teenagers.
