Teen donates funds for themed room

By Sophie Pappas and Julie Kennedy Earlier this year, Abigail Boldt, a 15-year-old cancer patient from Zionsville, donated funds to create an equestrian-themed pediatric hospital charity room at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at St.Vincent. Boldt was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia last October, and has since resolved to give back to the children’s hospital where she is currently receiving treatment.

The equestrian room was decorated after Boldt worked side-by-side with an interior designer for eight months to bring her equestrian room to life. Last week, a ceremony was held to dedicate the finished room.

For Boldt, horses have always been a source of comfort, and she hopes the equestrian-themed room will offer that same comfort to other children who are cared for at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at St.Vincent.

“In that time I was in the hospital I was walking in the hallway and I noticed some of the rooms weren’t decorated like the room I was in and I inquired about decorating a room … and they said sure,” Boldt said.

“To decorate the room cost $25,000, and also I had to collect the items to decorate the room. I had a lot of people from my barn where I ride horses donate items, also other people from the equestrian community, along with some of my items.”

She began riding horses at the age of six and has performed in more than 20 show-jumping competitions with her 13-year-old horse, Pete. It is her family and friends in the equestrian community that rallied with Boldt to raise the funds to transform the pediatric hospital room into a horse-lovers dream.

“It’s just comforting to go see my horse … He always makes me feel better no matter the kind of day I’m having,” Boldt said. “I just hope that [the equestrian room] makes [patients] feel more comfortable and especially since horses are such a comforting animal to me … just help them so that they feel comfortable as well.”

Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at St.Vincent currently has 12 themed rooms that have been donated by local organizations and individuals. Other room designs at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at St.Vincent include: Five Peyton Manning rooms; a hot air balloon room; a super hero room; a Dan Wheldon room; an Indiana Pacers and Fever room; and a cheerleader room.

Local equestrian takes on Lexington venue

By Devynn Barnes news@currentzionsville.com

Hitch jumps her way to victory and a USEF national qualification at Brownland Farms in Franklin, Tenn. earlier this year. (Submitted photo)

Zionsville Middle School student Hannah Hitch will be heading to Kentucky this achievement week to compete in the U.S. Pony Finals at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington. This is a huge accomplishment for the young equestrian, who has qualified to compete in the “Medium Regular Hunter Pony Division” with her horse, Austin. At only 12-years-old, Hannah and Austin, or “Steeling Home,” the horse’s show name, will be taking to the arena for a week of shows and competition.

Hannah’s career began four years ago at Bit Whip Farm in Zionsville. A family in her neighborhood had been taking lessons there, and took her along for a day to try it out. She fell in love with the barn, and quickly picked up on the sport. Lessons twice a week lead her to short-stirrup competition, followed by the children’s pony division. Her family leased her first pony named Blue Rocks Victoria, who helped her progress to the national competition stage she is gearing up for now.

The United States Equestrian Federation Pony Finals in Lexington are taking place from now until Aug. 10.

“We’ve never been to it, so we’re really excited,” said Hannah’s mother Shelly Hitch.

Hannah qualified for the competition by earning the title of reserve champion at Brownland Farms in May. Since then, she has been practicing four days a week for the upcoming finals where she will compete for a USEF title, but also have a great time.

“It’s so fun to watch these kids.

They love their ponies,” Shelly said.

Relatively new to the equestrian world, Shelly said she has really enjoyed the experience she has had with Hannah and her shows.

“It’s been very enlightening as a parent to be involved with this,” she said. Watching Hannah clean, groom and take care of her horses has been both a good lesson in responsibility for her as well as a rewarding experience for Shelly, her number one fan.

As the Hitch family packs up for Kentucky, excitement buzzes in the air, but Shelly says they’re going to keep what’s important in mind.

“We’re going to focus on the journey and getting there and having fun.”

The Montgomery family is hosting a “fly in” Aug. 9. (Submitted photo)

Local airmen flying in for a cause

By Joseph Knoop • news@currentzionsville.com

Ladies and gentlemen, start your turbines. The 8th Annual Open House, Fly-In and Air Race to support Down Syndrome Indiana, Charity hosted by Montgomery Aviation, will take place at Indianapolis Executive Airport from 7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., Aug. 9.

Montgomery Aviation has once again partnered for the event with the Sport Air Racing League’s Indy Air Race, sponsored by motorsports composite company Aerodine Composites.

The event will feature a wide variety of aircraft on display, including aircraft from the Commemorative Air Force Organization’s collection, plus an air race, food vendors, a parachute jump performance and raffle.

Aircraft competing in the event’s race will make a timed circuit around central Indiana.

“It’s a great partnership we’ve had for seven years,” said Sean White, a representative for

Montgomery Aviation. “It serves a community that certainly has a need.”

The annual event has raised more than $90,000 in the seven years hosting the fly-in for Down Syndrome Indiana. Event organizers hope to raise $25,000 this year.

“Combining these events allows the local community the opportunity to come out to their local airport, eat some great food, enjoy many family friendly activities, and experience aviation up close and personal,” said Dan Montgomery, owner of Montgomery Aviation.

Other events include a candy airdrop, remote control plane activities and a Civil Way patrol plane display. Attendees can also ride in T-6 Texan aircraft, originally designed to train pilots in the United States Army Air Forces.

Food options include vendors such as The Flying Cupcake bakery. Admission and parking are free for all attendees. For more information, visit www.montgomeryaviation.net.

To celebrate National Farmers’ Market Week, the folks of the Zionsville Farmers Market are giving away goodies – and around town good deals, on Aug. 9.

According to market chairwoman Jenn Gleissner, last year the market celebrated National Farmers’ Market Week and it was a huge hit.

“We had so much fun,” Gleissner said. “And all of our vendors who had specials sold out of their products, so it really served its purpose.”

Geissner said that the market is at the “height of its season” with loads of corn and other items.

“You can pick up everything you need for dinner,” she said. “And we will also be giving out goodies from our sponsors at IU North. They will have items while supplies last.”

This year, the first 500 people at the market will receive a free spatula with the market logo on it. This comes after last year’s giveaway of

vegetable scrapers.

Also, several vendors will be having sales on select items. These include: • Sage’s Simple Syrup - This family-run business makes infused simple syrups for cocktails and mocktails. Flavors include cucumber-basil and mango-ginger. On Aug. 9 only, the company is offering $2 off any 16-ounce bottle of simple syrup.

• Inga’s Popcorn - This main-street staple company is offering $3 off any three, onequart bags of popcorn. Customers can save $1 per bag this way.

• End of the Trail - A local Zionsville man, who breeds and cures his own bison, will be offering $1 off the second pound of bison meat, after the purchase of the first pound.

The market is open from 8 to 11 a.m., in the parking lot next to The Friendly Tavern, on Main Street. For more information, visit www.zionsvillefarmersmarket.org.

Michele’s expands to Zionsville

By Allison Mayer • news@currentzionsville.com Fans of Vera Bradley in Zionsville will know the location at 40 North Main St. – for everyone else, it’s next now open door to Greek’s Pizzeria.

For the last 30 years, previous owner Kathy Brown had a well-loved Vera Bradley boutique at this same location.

When she retired and sold the building she began speaking with Michele Isenhower, owner of Michele’s Boutiques and Gifts in Brownsburg, about her possible interest in keeping the store open. Brown and Isenhower had an existing relationship through Vera Bradley helping each other out when a customer needed a specific item that they didn’t currently have in stock.

The location of Brown’s store at 40 North Main St., was one of the first in Indiana to sell Vera Bradley, a tradition new owner Michele Isenhower wanted to continue. “We want people to know the store is still open,” Isenhower said. “It didn’t close for good.”

Michele’s on Main opened their doors under the new name last month and the ribbon cutting ceremony was last Friday.

Michele’s on Main is a boutique specializing in Vera Bradley, Spartina 499 Handbags, jewelry, apparel, and a selection of other gifts including Yankee Candles. They offer a wide selection of the same great Vera Brad-

ley products this location has been known for over the years, as well as a nice variety for other occasions.

Just inside the door at Michele’s on Main is a sign that reads “Your husband called, he said to buy anything you want.” That same fun attitude resonates throughout this chic little boutique, the owner, and the helpful staff. Stop by Michele’s on Main and visit them on Facebook for hours, sales, and giveaways.

Telephones have led us full circle Commentary by Ward Degler Knock on someone’s door and ask to use their phone, and they will probably pull a smart phone out of their back pocket and Plain talk hand it to you. It didn’t used to be like that.

There used to be a time when you asked to use someone’s phone and they would usher you into the living room or kitchen and point to the phone on the wall. At an earlier time they might shake their head and tell you they didn’t have a phone. But they would probably tell you which neighbor down the way did.

During my growing-up years we fell into several telephone categories. For awhile we didn’t have a phone. At that time it was not unusual for a neighbor to knock on our door late at night and tell us we had a phone call at their house. Dad would always pay them for the call because the telephone was an expensive luxury in the early 20th century.

Our first phone was a “crank-and-holler” device that hung on the kitchen wall. It was a large, wooden cabinet with a mouthpiece sticking out of the front, a hand-held earpiece hanging on a hook, and a metal crank sticking out of the side.

Turning the crank generated an electric impulse, which rang a bell at the switchboard, alerting the operator that you wanted to make a call. When she came online, you told her who

you wanted to talk to. Then she connected you to that line and turned the switchboard crank, which caused the phone to ring at the other end.

All in all, it was one step above two tin cans and a string.

Later we had a party line, which we shared with a half-dozen other homes. At any given time someone else might be on the line when you wanted to make a call. And when you did make a call you could be pretty certain that someone else was listening.

In the years that followed, most folks had only one telephone. It and the wires that went to it were owned lock, stock and dial tone by the phone company. It was only after Ma Bell was dissolved and we had to buy and install our own phones that folks started putting phones in every room of the house including the bathroom, laundry room, garage and the hall closet.

Then just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, along came an ever more sophisticated line of cell phones, and people started getting rid of their home phones.

So, once again you might knock on someone’s door and they would tell you they don’t have a phone.

Mobility helps with everyday tasks, and is the first step to starting an exercise regiment. (Submitted photo)

Mobility is for everyone

Commentary by Adam Timm

At Concept 7 Fitness, we focus on “7 Lifestyle Principles” to improve health and fitness in our daily lives. Mobility is one of these fitness principles and is very important for the young athlete as well as for the older population. Good mobility improves athletic performance, prevents injury, provides for better movement skills, and helps people just feel better.

When we speak of mobility, we are talking about being able to get into a wide range of positions without force or external assistance. An example would be squatting with both feet flat on the ground and the hip crease dropping below the knee joint. Many people have problems getting into this low squat position without pain or compromising safety.

Mobility helps us with everyday tasks such as getting up off of the floor and in outdoor activities like rock climbing. There are many different ledges and holds, but if you can’t move your leg in a way to put your foot up on the next ledge, you will not go very far regardless of your strength. While the older population might not

rock climb on a daily basis, everyone should be able to get up off of the floor effectively and this also requires a degree of mobility.

This leads us to how you can work on improving your mobility. First, work on mobility exercises every day. Get into different positions and actively challenge your range of motion. Second, make sure you progress slowly. Do not force yourself into painful positions. It is better to be consistent and improve slowly rather than try to force yourself to do things for which your body may not be prepared. Muscles, tendons, and ligaments all take time to adapt to these new positions. Last, seek a professional that can assess your movement and guide you in your journey to better health and fitness.

Enjoy the journey to better health and fitness through movement!

Habitat volunteers are part of a new nationwide effort to build homes. (Submitted photo)

Habitat partners with county

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com

Habitat of Boone County began a revitalization project in the South Meridian neighborhood of Lebanon last Thursday with charity the demo of the tornado damages house at 1412 S. Meridian.

The second home across the street will be torn down next week. This comes after Habitat for Humanity International in Atlanta started a national program called Neighborhood Revitalization Initiative for all the Habitat affiliates across the country, a program that the Boone County affiliate is now implementing.

“I am really excited to improve this neighborhood on South Meridian. There are several houses that need to be torn down and we are grateful to have the city help us with the demolition so we can build new homes that the surrounding neighbors in this area can be proud of. We are also grateful to have others help with this demo project as both Boone County Resource Recovery and Boone County Solid Waste Management donated the dumpsters that were

needed to all the house debris hauled away,” said Steve Furste, executive director of Habitat.

The purpose is for a local Habitat affiliate to seek partnerships with a town/community with a focus in an area or neighborhood that is need of revitalization, or abandoned houses that need to be torn down, vacant lots cleaned up to a simple face lift of some homes that just need a fresh coat of paint. Presently towns and cities all over the U.S. have partnered with their local affiliates to transform a neighborhood from blight to an area that all the homeowners take pride in.

New homes replace old abandoned ones, and some homes will get a face lift with just a new coat of paint, cleaned-up lawns, or the planting of shrubs and flowers. Furste said the key is that the neighborhood homeowners are actively involved in all phases of the revitalization process.

The local Boone County affiliate has made a start in the S. Meridian neighborhood with their 2013 Apostles Build at 1415 S. Meridian. Furste said that plans call for more houses that have been abandoned to be replaced with Habitat homes.

Bridge closed until Thanksgiving

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com While construction workers have been busy for months tearing down trees, and making room for a larger, industrial bridge on Ford Road, the project is not nearly Development finished.

The road officially closed last week, to allow for workers of Yates Construction to begin the detailed process of solidifying the new structure. Earlier this year, Yates Construction, Inc., won the $1.6 million contract to replace the old bridge.

The original bridge was built in 1920, and then received a facelift in the ‘70s.

Members of the Traders Point Historical District, an area that the bridge is in, have been advocates for a steel truss bridge to be installed since the mid-1990s.

Plans for an antiquated, historical-era bridge from another location in Indiana to be installed at the Ford Road site were squashed when Boone County Council leaders opposed the steel truss plans, citing bridge dimensions as the reason for the change. As a result, the town lost

Full-grown trees and bushes were demolished to make room for a new bridge on Ford Road, which crosses over Eagle Creek in the Traders Point Historical District. (Photos by Sophie Pappas)

more than $2 million in federal funding for the steel truss’ relocation into Zionsville.

Boone County Highway Supt. Rick Carney said last week that the bridge should be completed

by Thanksgiving, if everything goes according to plans.

The more than 7,000 drivers who pass over the Ford Road bridge, which connects to 96th Street, will need to take detours along Oak Street or Moore Road until the project is finished.

My Sugar Pie – oh, my!

Commentary by student writer Isley Wood

I’ve loved to bake ever since I was a little girl.

Well, I’m only 10, so I guess that’s not such a long time! I’d like to open my around town own bakeshop one day, so I decided to interview Kelly Maucere, the owner of My Sugar Pie in Zionsville, to find out more about the baking business.

When I walked into the pie shop, it smelled sweet like a cherry pie. I was surprised to see more than 40 pies on the menu. I met Kelly and learned that she started baking at age 10 with her mom, who was known as the “Yoda of Pies.”

My Sugar Pie has been in business since 2008, and has been at its 40 E. Pine Str. location since 2011. However, Kelly first began baking pies in her own oven, and then used the ovens at Cobblestone Grill before having a shop of her own.

Even though there weren’t any major setbacks in starting the business, Kelly did mention that she was surprised at how much time she needed for some of the additional responsibilities required in running her own business. As the owner, she not only bakes, but also takes care of other details such as accounting and marketing.

Kelly knew she wanted to name her business My Sugar Pie because her mother would call Kelly’s children her “sugar pies.”

Kelly said: “It took several months to come up with the winning recipe [for the sugar pie] and one that my mom and dad liked.”

As Indiana’s state pie, the sugar pie is a popular choice at the shop, but Dutch Apple is actually Kelly’s best seller.

Kelly and her staff bake hundreds of pies daily, and her favorites to make are beautiful straw-

berry lattice and meringue pies. Kelly “loves the smell of a fresh peach pie,” and said she enjoys the flavor of the peanut butter cream pie.

Zionsville residents and pie lovers all over the United States enjoy My Sugar Pie. Ashley Judd, Peyton Manning, and Oprah Winfrey have all had the pleasure of eating these treats, and continue to order them from the shop.

After meeting with Kelly, I chose to try the classic sugar pie … and I was in heaven! It was so sweet and silky smooth. Kelly is very talented to make such a perfect pie. I learned a lot about the baking business, and I hope to someday have my very own bakeshop.

Meet the Jerrys Joneses

Commentary by Donna Monday

Make no mistake about it, Jerry Jones Sr. is a legend in this town. Trust me on this. I know.

I’ve witnessed both his well plain talk -service skills and his outrageous behavior.

Now 80 and retired, Jerry in his heyday drove a van that was itself outrageous. It was black and orange with an oversize bumper, hand-welded into ferocious - looking sharks’ teeth. And he dared to park this monstrosity on Ash Street.

A neighbor complained to the town fathers.

Jerry won.

Then came a request from Jerry to turn a neighbor’s house on Ash Street into a Victorian showplace. A local podiatrist objected. The two went toe-to-toe (literally, both in cowboy boots) at a plan commission meeting. It was the closest I’ve ever been to a shootout at the O.K. Corral. The podiatrist went on about trusting a guy with a shark van in front of his house and two goats out back to create a lovely Victorian home. (For what it’s worth, the goats were Jeremiah and Geraldine.)

Jerry lost.

“They told me what I can’t do,” he said. “They don’t know what I can do.”

With that, he proceeded to paint the bottom one-third of the house orange, bright and gaudy.

It stayed that way more than two years.

The plan commission relented. Check out the results at 170 E. Ash. Jerry Jones’ stories go on and on. So how does Jerry Jones II follow an act like his dad’s?

Quite well, it seems.

Jerry II has taken over the well business his

Jerry Jr., his wife Geri, and Jerry Sr. (Photo by Donna Monday)

dad started in 1968. His red, white, and blue van is a patriotic statement on wheels.

He met Geri, (pronounced Jerry) at a Petco store she managed at the time. She likes to tell people she “picked him up at the pet store.”

“I was a rescue,” he grins.

“And you were housebroken,” she adds.

They were married on 10/10/10 and intend to do as well in the romance dept. as Jerry Sr. and wife Betty, who were married in 1958, have done.

Betty, who was certified and award-winning in heating and air conditioning, worked with Jerry until cancer took her out of the business.

She overcame that disease many years ago.

Geri says she worked with Jerry II until, “I just didn’t have enough upper body strength to haul a water heater on my back.”

Sounds like reason enough to me...

Sports: A family commitment Commentary by Julie Osborne

When you say “yes” to something, you are saying “no” to something else. And, sometimes a “yes” is significant enough to spill over to permeate all areas of your life and overtake it. Such can be the case with kids’ sports. In many ways, when you sign up your child, you are signing up the whole family especially when it comes to club sports and travel teams.

I heard some words of wisdom about competitive sports and family balance from the father of a freshman tennis star at Carmel High School.

“The priority needs to be the family. If the commitment to the athlete is affecting the family, you have to pull back. We’ve had to take a break sometimes,” Chip Woods said. “Make family a priority.”

In order to find family balance with their daughter Zoe’s busy tennis schedule, the Woods’ family limits tournament play, is intentional with creating family time together, and makes family vacations a priority.

“Zoe had a chance to attend an Ivy League summer clinic but there was a conflict with our family vacation,” Woods said. “We picked the family vacation. Sports will come and go but family

is enduring.”

Involving kids in sports at an early age continues to be the trend and there are many benefits – great physical activity, team work, etc. But, as they get older, a family commitment needs to be made, and it’s often a difficult decision. As CHS Athletic Director Jim Inskeep said, “Parents need to have their eyes open to what they are getting into at an early age.”

Personally, I have tried to preserve family time through the years. As a single parent, I couldn’t take on travel teams and games all weekend so I was thrilled when both of my children ran cross country at Brebeuf Jesuit. It was a wonderful experience with team dinners on Friday nights, meets on Saturday mornings, and time for family dinner together during the week after practice.

I’m a huge fan of cross country where everyone’s a winner and is able to participate. And, by the way, it’s an open sport at the high schools so all students have a chance to be on the team!

How one woman beat cancer, and lives to help others fighting the disease

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com If there’s one thing Robin Miiller’s three children might tell you about their mom, it’s how much she is busy helping cover story other people.

“My daughter stayed home sick one day and when I told her I have to go out and help people with their doctors appointments, she looked at me and said: ‘Do you do this every day, mom?’ And I said, well, yeah almost,” Miiller laughed. “I think now my kids just started to realize this.”

Miiller, of Zionsville, is what some would call a patient advocate. To others, she’s simply a friend.

But to everyone, she’s a survivor.

In the mid-‘90s, Miiller was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. Since then, she has had a recurrence of the thyroid cancer and fought her way through one round of breast cancer, now more than 14 years ago.

In 2000, Miiller was 32-years-old, and 30-weeks pregnant with her youngest daughter Audrey Faith, when she noticed a large lump developing on her inner breast.

“It’s like it appeared overnight,” she said.

At her next prenatal check-up, her obstetrician sent her to an oncologist who confirmed she had breast cancer.

“Within three days we were planning for an early delivery,” Miiller said.

And so, after many tears and several sleepless nights, Miiller, her husband Damon, and her doctors, decided to deliver a premature Audrey on Feb. 21, and 10 days later Robin began chemotherapy.

All the while, her older children, Allie and Evan, ages 3 and 4, were mere witnesses in what would be their mother’s hardest battle with cancer.

“The thyroid cancer didn’t hit me like the breast cancer,” Miiller said. “I first had it before I had children. But the breast cancer … there was so much guilt.”

Audrey was born weighing in at just over four pounds, and spent time in the neonatal intensive care unit before she could go home to her family.

“I had six months of chemo, followed by radiation, and I had this tiny baby,” Miiller said. “Many days, I had to bring all three kids with me to the hospital for radiation.”

By the time Audrey was a toddler, she had learned to say that she was a “wife saber,” or, mommy’s “life saver,” because had Miiller not been pregnant, she might not had visited her OB doctor so soon to check her breast.

Now, Miiller said that she “stays on top” of the cancer, with yearly mammograms and full-body scans. But beyond taking care of herself, Miiller

has found time over the years to participate in Relay for Life and the St.Vincent Cancer Walk, both in Zionsville.

This year, Miiller is the volunteer coordinator for the Sept. 20 St.Vincent Cancer Walk in Lions Park.

“It feels good to [my heart] when I’m helping others and doing the [St. Vincent Cancer Walk],” Miiller said. “I participate because I can … Cancer is part of everybody’s lives directly and indirectly.

There are always people being diagnosed and most of all I want to tell them that, ‘it’s OK, It’s OK.’ It’s a good thing they were diagnosed. It’s a good thing they got checked. There’s such a need for patient navigation, and for people to have someone by their side.”

Co-chair of the St.\Vincent Cancer Walk Lou Anne Brennan, said she has worked with Miiller for the last two years.

“She is a wonderful cheerleader for the cause and has amazing enthusiasm,” Brennan said.

“The St.Vincent Cancer Walk is a way for me to give back to St.Vincent. I have walked in the event from its inception. My father led a long, productive life, and at the age of 89 passed away due to cancer. He received his cancer care at St.Vincent for which I am grateful. During his journey, he discussed with doctors about the needs of cancer patients beyond the radiation and chemo. He was an advocate for programs that helped patients beyond their medical needs.

Those programs are what the St.Vincent Walk

Miiller said that helping others and being a part of raising money for cancer research and facilities is exactly what she should be doing.

“This is the direction I’m supposed to be going in,” she said. “I can look back now and tell myself: ‘Robin, your diagnosis wasn’t a curse.’ I’m living and hoping that someday I’ll know cancer’s purpose in my life and other people’s lives.”

FROM THE BACKSHOP

Commentary by Danielle WIlson

Nixon as a Dem: Different outcome?

With the upcoming 40th anniversary of the resignation of President Richard Nixon on Aug. 8, we thought about the whole repugnant affair in the wake of Watergate, in particular, the 18.5-minute gap made famous by Nixon’s secretary, Rose Mary Woods. You may remember this episode: Woods claimed she had reached to answer the phone and instead of hitting the stop button, mistakenly hit the record button, thus causing the gap, or portions of it. Let’s face it, only a Clinton can get away with that story. Nixon’s credibility went out the window at that moment, as well it should have.

Now, fast-forward to today and the latest IRS scandal, specifically the missing emails of Lois Lerner, about which we wrote in the July 29 edition of Current. Conveniently, Lerner’s computer crashed, and we’re expected to believe that these things just happen. Right. To whom did she send those emails, and how high in President Barack Obama’s administration did they rise? Maybe we’re wrong; someone other than a Clinton can get away with this stuff.

The Democrats remain eerily silent on this issue, and we might remind them that the first Article of Impeachment against Nixon was adopted by a bipartisan vote. Nixon, too, abused the IRS powers for his own benefit, but the difference is the nation was outraged and embarrassed by it then. Not so now. There’s barely a whiff of indignation on a national scale. So back to the disgraced, fallen president, Nixon. We believe he must be spinning in his grave, thinking he was born way too soon.

Or, more accurately, he wishes he had been a Democrat during his political career.

••• Prayers and hearts go out to Danny O’Malia, his wife, Rita, and the whole “O” clan on the shooting death of their daughter, sister, mother and cousin, Shannon O’Malia Hall. It’s an unspeakable tragedy. May she rest in, and her survivors gain, peace.

Taking the leap of faith Commentary by Terry Anker Perhaps it is because I find myself sitting in loads of meetings. Perhaps it is because my attention span seems as dedicated as that of a 3-year-old’s. Perhaps it is because my undergraduate education in the humanities actually did impress upon me the value of attention to detail and commitment to critical thought. Regardless of the impetus, each meeting, speech, presentation and podcast is an opportunity to garner insight. Not that life-changing, overwhelming and radical insight is to be routinely expected. If we are spending our time with the right folks, there is much to be learned.

Recently I was in the company of a small group of the uninitiated as the CEO of the Carmel Performing Arts Center, Tania Castroverde Moskalenko, told of the history and future of the complex and its many troupes. Brilliantly, she framed the story in the context of her own life and journey from Cuba to Carmel. The information was not new to me, but the delivery was captivating.

One phrase in particular caught and held my attention. American naturalist John Burroughs is attributed as saying “leap and the net will appear.” Moskalenko shared how the quote provides strength and guidance during difficult periods in her life. So even as the perfunctory retelling of the stats for the Palladian style concert hall and other details could no longer hold my attentions, I imagined if I could be a leader, or for that matter a person, who could find faith enough to leap?

The world around us is filled with opportunity for reflection. But most of us move from meeting to meeting, from day to day, from year to year, without out so much as a snag of consideration.

Could I leap? I’m not sure, but I am grateful to Moskalenko for leading me to wonder.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK Laugh till you weep. Weep till there’s nothing left but to laugh at your weeping. In the end it’s all one.

–Frederick Buechner

May I just complain about my children and husband for one minute? And before anyone flies off her broom handle to humor write me a nasty-gram about how I should appreciate them for who they are, let me preface this by stating that I love my family dearly and that I realize this is totally a non-issue in the grand scheme of the world. There. Happy?

‘Cause I’m not. I recently returned from a professional development workshop, a twoday gathering of teachers at a state college to reinvigorate us for the upcoming school year.

Basically it was a summer camp for grownups. We ate gourmet meals, networked and told stories, and ended our time with a sort-of talent show where I was able to showcase my questionable musical theater talents in a three-minute rendition of Frozen. Awesome, right?

But when I arrived home, feeling motivated, refreshed and for once, valued, guess what greets me? A sick kid whose dad hasn’t quite gotten around to purchasing medicine, a sink and countertop filled with crusty dishes and fruit flies, and, I’m not joking, a pile of dog poo on the bathroom floor mat. The grass is approaching harvest height, there’s no milk, and only one child made it to their summer sports lesson. In just a little over 48 hours, folks, the Wilson household completely fell apart.

Now I’m not the type of person who thinks, “Ah, that’s sweet. My family needs me!” My immediate reaction cannot be printed here, and fortunately, I was able to lock those comments down before they escaped my pursed lips. (I couldn’t have my children thinking I’d been away at Teacher Potty Mouth School.) But honestly! How hard would it have been for Doo to remind the kids that I’d be home today and to at least pick up the place? And for that matter, why aren’t they thinking of that themselves?

They’re all capable of loading a dishwasher and scraping up canine crap! Have I just spent 15 years raising lazy, inconsiderate brats?

Granted, Doo has been ungodly busy with work lately, and parenting is down near “Replace floorboard in back corner of basement” on his To Do list. Still, I just can’t understand why certain things get neglected. He managed to grab a beer with friends; he couldn’t find 10 minutes to run to CVS for some Dayquil?

Jeeze, I sound like a naggy, old bitty even to myself. It was just such a nice break to be single and kid-less for a few days that I’m having difficulty acclimating back to reality. I promise my pity-party will end with the replacement of a certain bathmat, okay? So please, no hate mail. Peace out.

Need a label for it Commentary by Dick Wolfsie So, what’s the word? Really, what is the word? With more than 250,000 words in the English language, you’d think there humor would be a word for just about everything. Not so. Therefore, I am on a crusade to find a term for some everyday occurrences for which there is no label. I may need your help on some of these. I can’t do everything.

Ever make yourself a tall, cool glass of your favorite beverage but when you take the first sip, there’s an ice blockage that smacks right into your lips? All of a sudden, instead of quenching your thirst, the liquid is running down the sides of your mouth. You insert your finger to break up the ice dam, but to no avail. Eventually, it’s clear sailing, but what do we call this: How about a GLACIAL FACIAL? You are ready to watch your favorite show on cable, so you enter the three-digit channel number. But only two digits appear. You try again: 140. All you get is 14 or 40. I’m not sure what to call this phenomenon, but I think the concept was invented by Comcast.

Maybe it’s me, but it seems whenever I get to the checkout, the clerk is out of dimes or quarters and has to open one of those rolls of coins. Then I stand there while he smashes the roll against the register drawer. It takes forever.

We do need a term for the time this takes: How about COINUWAITING?

Here’s one you can help me with: You’ve just banged your elbow really, really hard. There’s a fraction of a second (that seems like forever) before you actually feel the pain. We need a name for that period when you know you’re about to be in deep trouble.

I tried to explain to my wife why I thought it was important to write this column, and to prove my point I gave her a little quiz about some existing little-known words…

Okay, Mary Ellen, what do you call the position you take when you’re standing, and your hands are on your hips with your elbows pointed outward?”

“Akimbo,” she said confidently. Everyone knows that.”

“Wow, that is the right word. “Okay what do you call that metal band on a pencil?”

“A ferrule, of course. Now give me a difficult one.”

So then I asked my Mary Ellen if she knew the term for a woman who thinks she knows everything. Here’s some advice for you men.

When a woman gets two inches from your face, standing with arms akimbo, it’s time to change the subject.

Beverly (Hillary Smith), center, dreams about how great everything will be “After I’m Confirmed” in the all-new Church Basement Ladies show: A Mighty Fortress is Our. (Submitted photo)

Carmel actress Smith returns home, reprises role

By Jay Harvey • editorial@youarecurrent.com

“Church Basement Ladies,” a series of musical comedies that does for rural Minnesota Lutheran churchwomen what “Nunsense” theatre did for urban Catholic nuns, has given a professional boost to a young actress who grew up in Carmel.

Hillary Smith, 24, plays Beverly, a 15-year-old confirmand helping her mother and two older women prepare a Reformation Sunday meal in the basement kitchen of a church to which all are devoted.

Smith says the characters’ bond goes beyond that. “Our Smith director [Curt Wollan] said that the heart of the show is the characters’ love for each other. There’s joke after joke and laugh after laugh,” she said. “But what people fall in love with about the shows is the five of them [counting Pastor Gunderson] are each other’s family.”

The actress, a graduate of Cathedral High School who went on to earn a bachelor of fine arts degree at Florida State University, drew on her offstage experience to indicate how this

resonates with audiences. “Growing up we all have our versions of that – besides our birth families,” Smith said. “It’s about that group that helps shape the person you’re becoming. They are characters you can relate to.”

Smith is returning to the series after a year off, joining a cast mostly of actors reprising their roles from earlier “Church Basement Ladies” productions. The veterans are Licia Watson, Karen Pappas and Eddie Curry. Carrie SaLoutos is the newcomer.

“It’s a really good experience,” Smith said. “I never played the same role twice. I know how the show works, and that really helps. I can explore my character more. I know where we left off before, and it’s nice working with the same people.”

“A Mighty Fortress,” like its predecssors, involves handling a lot of props – it takes place in a busy kitchen, after all. And familiarity with those items has helped Smith as well: “It’s difficult to juggle all of them the first time around,” she said.

Since her graduation as a musical-theater major, Beef & Boards “Church Basement Ladies” gigs (in 2012 and this year) since graduation stand out in Smith’s short résumé.

“I’ve been very lucky so far,” she said of her career. “I’ve been working very consistently.”

She has appeared in summer seasons at Wagon Wheel Theater in northern Indiana and Fireside Theater in Wisconsin; locally she’s played a couple of roles in Indiana Repertory Theatre’s annual production of “A Christmas Carol.”

Now based in New York, Smith dreams of being on Broadway someday, but basing herself there is also wise from the standpoint of doing auditions for regional theaters as well.

The actress’ mother, Kelly Butler Smith, is head of young adult theater at Civic Theatre.

When Hillary was growing up, her mother ran a dance studio and dance was the first “leg” of the three-legged stool that musical-theater specialists must rely on. The other two – acting and singing – were developed during her education.

“We’ve always shared our love for theater,” she says of her family, who along with local friends have been in audiences for “A Mighty Fortress,” which opened July 5. “I’m really lucky it’s been part of my life since I was a little girl.”

“A Mighty Fortress Is Our Basement” • Now through Aug. 16. • Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre, 9301 Michigan Rd., Indianapolis. • Tickets: $38.50 to $63.50, including dinner buffet. • For more information, visit www.beefandboards.com.

Fruit salad – with sauce!

One of the best joys about summer is the variety and abundance of fruits in the markets! I cannot think of a more refreshing dessert than this delicious and exotic fruit salad recipe! Alice Waters say in her book Chez Panisse Fruit: “Fruit, more than any of the other foods we consume, has a way to go right to the heart of our being. Fruit is beautiful to look at and beautiful to smell.”

You will be able to find all these tropical fruits at Saraga International Market. If you haven’t visited this amazing store you will find that it’s worth the trip; this market will take you on a virtual trip around the world!

Note: This is not really a recipe, but more an outline – you can adapt it to make your own tropical fruit salads. The amounts of the fruits are not given, since this is up to you.

Prepare the basic fruit sauce and add the fruits of your choice to it. It is preferable to make the salad a day in advance and leave to macerate overnight before serving. Some fruits, like bananas and kiwis should be added to the salad at the last minute. In general four-to-five fruits mixed with the sauce make a delicious salad; the quantity and variety of the fruit depends on your taste.

TROPICAL FRUIT SALAD with SAUCE Serving: 6

NEW EXHIBITS & FEATURES IN 10 DISTRICT GALLERIES - Musical Ingredients for basic fruit sauce:1 1/4 cup pineapple juice (NO ADDED SUGAR), 1/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoon orange juice, 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier , 1/4 cup water, 1/2 cup diced apricot Directions for sauce: In a medium saucepan combine the pineapple juice, sugar, orange juice, Grand Marnier and water. Heat until boiling then stir in the dried apricots. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes and let it stand for 5 minutes. Pour into a blender until smooth and thickened.

Ingredients for tropical fruit salad: lime , yellow passion fruit, red bananas, mangosteens, mangos, guavas, brown passion fruit, pineapple , kiwis, papaya, orange Ceci is a Zionsville resident, who was born in New York and raised in Peru.

Amateur Hour ready to roll with films, website

By Zach Manges • editorial@youarecurrent.com

Amateur Hour Productions, a new company run by Zionsville graduates, is getting its name out there with short films on now open YouTube as well as an upcoming website designed to bring together other amateur filmmakers.

“We had a couple of things in mind when creating Amateur Hour. The first was that we wanted to entertain,” Amateur Hour co-creator Collin Stroup said. “The other reason was that we wanted to find a way to help others get ahead in filmmaking.”

The rest of the team consists of Henry Yeager, Caolan Breen, Ben Evenson, Chris Reigle, and Gus McKinney. They have been producing short films on YouTube together for the past couple months with a repertoire that so far includes comedy sketches, movie reviews, and entertainment news analysis.

“When we are creating a short film or YouTube segment, we usually start by writing and storyboarding. Then we figure out locations and actors and start shooting,” Stroup said. “We are typically pretty relaxed on set because we all know our roles and it helps us feed off each other. After it’s all been filmed, we edit it and then we have a final product.”

The group is looking to expand its craft and offer opportunities to fellow filmmakers with its new website, which will launch in the fall.

From left: Henry Yeager, Collin Stroup and Caolan Breen shoot a short film for YouTube. (Submitted photo)

Stroup was doing research into techniques and homemade equipment to improve his films and found himself wanting a one-stop film resource website from which he and other fans of the work could benefit.

“The website is a massive undertaking. It’s going to have everything: Articles, reviews, a podcast, instructional videos, and most importantly a film contest every other month,” Stroup said.

Unofficial leader of the group meetings, Stroup also has roles in Amateur Hour as director, editor, and cinematographer. He acts when

additional players are needed for a film, but his preferred work is behind the camera.

“I would have to say directing and editing are my favorite things to do,” Stroup said. “I love watching the movie slowly take shape and piecing it together into its final form.”

Film fans looking to find out more can find the group on Facebook and Reddit in addition to YouTube. Those with a love of performing in front of a camera or running one especially should keep an eye out for the Amateur Hour Productions website in the coming months.

Understanding the AMT

Commentary by Adam Cmejla

The last series of posts was spent attempting to shed light on the financial services profession, the different business finance models, and ways in which financial professionals work with clients. I sincerely hope you found that information valuable and applicable and that you can use it to make a well-informed decision on who you align with to serve you and your family.

Moving along, I’d like to switch gears and discuss AMT, or the Alternative Minimum Tax. Originally enacted in 1969 and aimed at addressing the fact that approximately 200 Americans found a way not to pay income tax, this piece of legislation has grown more complex and is focused on ensuring that all Americans pay a minimum amount of federal income tax.

In essence, it sets a floor on total tax liability.

The number of taxpayers affected by AMT liability has grown from about 20,000 in 1970 to an estimated 3.9 million in 2013 and is projected to be more than 6 million by 2023. Without proper planning, you could find yourself paying this additional tax.

AMT is calculated from AMTI (AMT Income), which equals AGI (adjusted gross income) minus itemized deductions plus AMT preference items. The list of preference items is too long to fit into this column, so one planning piece when considering making investments is to ask

yourself or your financial professional whether the gains and/or income on the investment is subject to AMTI. You may be asking yourself “How do I know if I’m subject to AMT?” The most straightforward way to answer that question is this: if you’re AMTI is above $82,100 and you file “married filing jointly” or it’s above $52,800 as a single taxpayer, you’ll have to go through the calculation process to determine IF you owe MORE taxes than you’ve already paid through the traditional tax calculation process. After calculation, if your AMT liability is more than your regular tax liability, your “AMT tax” will be the difference between the numbers.

To find out if you paid AMT taxes, you’ll want to look on page two of your Form 1040 and look at Line 45.

Tax law affects the investment environment, your investment decisions, and can have a profound effect on the long-term success of your financial success. Ensuring that your assets and financial strategies are working as taxefficient as possible is imperative to maximizing your potential returns.

Suze Orman, the money guru of public television, said that “any saving is good saving.” Here are a few of her tips to play “catch up” if you need to save for retirement and you don’t have many years to do it: • Invest the absolute maximum in your 401K or other retirement plan, starting now.

• If you are 50 or older and playing catch-up, also try to pay off your home mortgage as quickly as possible.

• If you have at least ten years or more until retirement, start dollar cost averaging into a good no-load mutual fund or individual stocks geared toward growth.

Turning family time into healthy fun

Commentary by Debra Balos, DO

Engaging in fun activities is part of the joy of being a family. When the fun involves physical activity, the wellness benefits of spending time together extend to improving your family’s health. As a parent, you play a powerful role in encouraging a healthy lifestyle. And when exercise is a regular part of your family’s routine, it’s more likely your children will grow up to be active adults.

For both adults and children, the benefits of physical activity are well documented.

In addition to increasing life expectancy, frequent exercise helps manage weight, decreases fat and develops strong muscles and bones. Physical activity also helps prevent diseases, such as heart disease and cancer. It boosts confidence and can alleviate feelings of depression. Specifically for children, exercise improves performance in school and burns off energy.

The key to instilling good exercise habits at a young age, however, is making sure physical activity is fun. If exercise feels like play, it’s easier to stick to the game plan.

Here are some ideas for how to include “playful” exercise into your family life:

Plan family outings that get you moving.

Possibilities include trips to the zoo, an ice skating rink, or a family outing to play miniature golf.

Sign up as a family for “fun runs” or charity walks. Not only are these events great ways to stay active, they also show family support for worthwhile causes.

Take a walk or a bike ride after dinner.

Especially when the weather’s nice, resist the urge to turn on the TV in the evening, and exercise outdoors instead. Other options include shooting hoops or playing catch.

Participate in sports as a family. Some great family-friendly sports include tennis, golf, swimming, skiing and skating.

As you plan activities, be sure to let your kids have a say. They will be more excited and eager to participate if they are able to make some of the choices. Using these tips as a guide, your family will be well on your way to a healthier future.

A ‘heartfelt thanks’ On June 25, Riverview Health Foundation recently hosted more than 200 golfers and 40 volunteers during its 22nd Annual Heartfelt Thanks Golf Tournament at Pebble Brook Golf Club in Noblesville. The event, sponsored by BMO Harris Bank, raised more than $100,000 to benefit Riverview Health.

Officials said the annual tournament helps raise money for the improvement of patient services and facilities at Riverview Health. Some of the causes recently supported by the tournament include funding a large-bore MRI to better identify health issues, purchasing equipment for Riverview Health Heart & Vascular and supporting women’s heart disease programs.

During the past 22 years, Riverview Health Foundation has netted more than $2 million in support of Riverview Health.

Back Pain? Try a few cat/cow poses Commentary by Sally Brown Bassett

You Can InspIre Hope for men, women, and children facing cancer!

Join us for the 5th Annual St.Vincent Cancer Walk

Saturday, September 20th at Lions Club Park in Zionsville 10 Mile Challenge Walk 3 Mile Family Walk 100% of funds raised by participants directly benefit patients and families Scenic walk through beautiful Zionsville Form a team and invite friends and family to walk with you Visit www.StVincentCancerWalk.org to Register Today

Many yoga classes start off with an intention and possibly some breathing techniques to produce calmness as well on the mat as energy. An oxymoron at its best. A great way to start the physical aspect of your yoga practice is the cat/cow pose. This pose helps warm up your spine and relieves back and neck tension after a long day. You can do this at home, too, anytime of the day. After all, we are as young as our back is flexible. This simple flow will make a difference.

Begin on your hands and knees in table pose.

Your hands are directly under your shoulders and your knees are directly under your hips. Your back is flat like a tabletop. Spread your fingers wide and have the crease in your wrist face the front of your mat. Let your neck be long and your eyes soft, looking at the floor. Take a deep inhale, look up, arch your back and let your belly sink toward the floor into cow pose; exhale completely as you round your back and tuck your tailbone into cat pose. Move with your breathe at your own pace. Inhale up, exhale down.

Repeat at least ten times or until your spine is warmed up. If you have kids or grandchildren, just add “moo” and “meow” and you will be a hit.

The benefits of cat/cow pose are numerous. It helps improves posture and balance. The move-

ment helps strengthens and stretches the spine and neck as well as stretches the hips, stomach and back. Like most yoga postures, it massages and stimulates internal organs in the belly, like the kidneys and adrenal glands. And, as always, it relieves stress and calms the mind. Won’t you do a cat/cow today?

Until next time … Namaste!

Imply vs. infer Commentary by Jordan Fischer Question: “Dear Grammar Guy, I hear people on a regular basis mixing up ‘imply’ and ‘infer.’ It drives me crazy! Could Grammar Guy you please write a column explaining the difference? Maybe I can pin it on my cubicle wall as a sort of subtle hint.”

Answer: I think I can touch on the difference – as long as you promise not to go pinning my columns on other people’s walls. No one likes an aggressive grammar enthusiast.

“Imply” and “infer” are two sides of the same coin, which is to say that whenever an implication is present, an inference may also be drawn. First things first though: Let’s see some definitions.

Imply: “To express something in an indirect way. To suggest something without saying or showing it plainly.”

Infer: “To form an opinion from evidence. To reach a conclusion based on known facts. To guess or surmise.”

If your boss is sitting in his or her office with the door open and a smile on his/her face, that implies you might be welcome to walk in and chat. If your boss storms into his office and locks

the door, however, you should probably draw the opposite conclusion.

Consider the second example. Within that sentence there is someone implying something and another person inferring something. The boss, without saying a word, is conveying with body language and other identifiable clues that he wants to be left alone. That’s an implication.

The employee, on the other hand, can read the clear message – “Leave me alone” – from those nonverbal signals. That’s an inference.

The best way to keep these two words straight in your head is to remember this: To imply is to send a signal, and to infer is to receive or interpret that signal. The signaler need not be a person, either. If you see large rocks strewn across a mountaintop road, it’s safe to infer there’s been a rockslide and you may be in danger. And if you come into work next week and find this column pinned to your cubicle, you may infer that someone didn’t take my advice.

Zürich: A Zwinglian legacy

Commentary by Don Knebel

info@youarecurrent.com

317.489.4444

With fewer than 400,000 residents, Zürich, Switzerland, houses the world’s second-largest gold market and fourth-largest travel stock exchange. Its per capita income is among the highest in the world. Some see Zürich’s remarkable economic successes as the legacy of a 16th-century priest virtually unknown in the United States.

The Romans founded Zürich in 15 B.C. along the Limmat River that flows north from Lake Zürich. The lake and the nearby Glarus Alps whose melting glaciers feed it create one of the most picturesque backdrops of any city in Europe. During the middle ages, Zürich was a selfgoverning city-state and member of the Swiss Confederacy.

In 1518, Ulrich Zwingli became priest of Zürich’s Grossmunster Church. Like Martin Luther, his contemporary in Germany, Zwingli sought to reform the Roman Catholic Church but soon concluded reform was impossible. By 1528 about half the cities of the Swiss Confederacy had followed Zwingli in rejecting the authority of the Pope. Like the later John Calvin in Geneva, Zwingli preached discipline, thrift and self-reliance, instilling in Zürich what became known as the “Protestant ethic.”

Many consider Zwingli – killed and mutilated in a major battle between Swiss Catholics and Protestants in 1531 – one of the fathers of the Reformation, along with Luther and Calvin.

Under the 1848 constitution creating the Swiss federal government, Zürich became the capital of the Zürich Canton. The city is governed by a citizen assembly meeting in the old town hall curiously located in the river. Influenced by Zwingli, Zürich has long deserved its reputation for efficiency, integrity, prosperity and, some would say, dullness. Zürich has lately cultivated a different side, reportedly now sporting the highest night club density of any city in Europe to go along with its 50 museums.

The marriage of hard work by day with partying by night has succeeded, with recent surveys identifying Zürich as the city having the world’s best quality of life. It has also become one of the world’s most cosmopolitan cities, with one of every three residents born in another country.

The gnomes of Zürich are hiding no more.

Wetbar: From wasted space to a great family hangout Commentary by Larry Greene

before & after

EXISTING WET BAR: This home is located in the Village of West Clay in Carmel. The original lower level wet bar area was blueprint for less than ideal. The ownimprovement ers wanted a space to accommodate their large family and also display and store beverages. While the original wet bar cabinetry was in good condition, it was outdated and did not have the proper mechanisms to lock away opened bottles.

CABINET MODIFICATIONS: The existing cabinets were painted white and enhanced with cosmetic changes. The existing wine rack was raised up and a new stainless steel rack was installed to store and display decorative stemware. Crown molding was added to the upper cabinets and a 6” deep pullout drawer was added. Brushed nickel locks were installed to properly secure the couple’s liquor. “Tropic Brown” granite, a Jenn-Air beverage fridge, a brushed nickel Moen faucet and glass/slate tile backsplash dramatically improved the final look.

RAISED LEDGE & ISLAND: The main goal was to add storage and seating space. The original half wall was removed and a raised ledge with decorative columns was installed. New cabinets with “Vecchio” glass fronts were added. To maximize seating space, flush metal bracket supports were used for the granite overhang. To add visual interest, painted white molding was installed around

RESULT: “We absolutely love how the space turned out. With having a large family, we are so excited to have an area where we can all hang out as a family.”

the island perimeter.

FINISHING DETAILS: To illuminate the wet bar, LED tape under-cabinet lighting was installed. A Kichler “Triad” Chandelier in an Oiled Rubbed Bronze finish with dual upward and downward facing lighting was hung over the island. Recessed can lights and a coordinating Kichler flush-mount light were installed in the ceiling. 18”×18” multi-color porcelain tile was installed in the bar area and new carpet in a “Hazy” color was installed throughout the entire lower level.
