Perhaps you have heard the joke about ordering a “biggie-size” meal with large fries and a diet soda? Many people wrongly believe that if a product has “diet” stamped on its label or has nonnutritive sweeteners in the ingredients, it must be better than natural sugar and, therefore, healthier.

s it turns out, nonnutritive sweetened foods and drinks may not help with weight loss, but instead may be a problematic factor that contributes to obesity and other health issues, according to Susan E. Swithers, a Zionsville resident and local expert on the subject. As a professor in the Department of Psychological Sciences at Purdue University, she studies ingestive behavior, body weight, and the roles that nonnutritive sweeteners play in weight management. Swithers reviewed and evaluated research on whether consuming nonnutritive sweeteners contributes to obesity or other health problems. Her find-

ings were published in an opinion article in Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism. “As the negative impact of consuming sugar-sweetened beverages on weight and other health outcomes has been increasingly recognized, many people have turned to high-intensity sweeteners like aspartame, sucralose and saccharin as way to reduce risk of these consequences,” Swithers explained. “However, accumulating evidence suggests that frequent consumers of these sugar substitutes may also be at increased risk for excessive weight gain, metabolic syndrome, Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease.” Swithers’s work is funded by the Nation-

al Institutes of Health, and she strongly believes that as someone who gets government money to do science, she has an obligation to let people know if she discovers something that affects their lives. “When we first started to try to understand if nonnutritive sweeteners help people and started to get some evidence that presented reasons to think they might not be so great, I needed to tell people that,” she said. Swithers refers to the sweeteners as “nonnutritive” sweeteners, which means that they don’t provide energy. They provide low to zero calories when consumed. In the U.S. the FDA allows seven sweeteners in food and beverages. “They’re all

slightly different from one another, but the main thing that they do is they activate the sweet taste receptors at really low concentrations,” Swithers explained. “For example, Sucralose, the sweetener in Splenda, is somewhere around two to three hundred times as sweet as sugar so you just use tiny amounts. Other sweeteners like Aspartame, which is in Equal and NutraSweet, are about 600 times as sweet as sugar. You only need such a tiny amount so when you look at the sweetener packet it contains such a tiny amount of the sweetener and then filler is added in to have enough that you can actually see it and know that you are putting it in your beverage or food.” Most people believe that if they switch to the diet version of a drink, then it must be better for them. “But that is not necessarily based on any evidence. Sometimes commonsense and science don’t match up. If everything was just based on commonsense then we wouldn’t need science. But it’s not so; that’s why we have to start to look at what the evidence shows us. She continues, “Diet soda is more likely to be consumed by people who are overweight or obese. The explanation has always been some people drink these because they are overweight or obese. You can’t rule out the possibility that something about drinking those sodas is contributing to their obesity. If you look at the data, you see with the intake of diet sodas start to go up before overweight and obesity start to go up.” However, she doesn’t believe that nonnutritive sweeteners are necessarily the only cause of the obesity epidemic. “There is not a single cause that that anybody can point to and say this is how we got here, but we can look at things like nonnutritive

sweeteners as components of the way that we eat and drink that are extremely unhealthy and a big part of the overall pattern of how we live,” she explains. “We know that the intake of nonnutritive sweeteners had been rising dramatically in the mid-eighties when Aspartame was approved. We saw another big spike with the introduction of Sucralose. We’ve known for a long time that regular soda intake has gone up dramatically since the mid-sixties and we know that overweight and obesity have also gone up over the same period of time,” she explains. “We think that what’s going on is not necessarily what a sweetener itself is doing, but how it’s affecting the ability to handle the sugars that are in the rest of the diet. The question I frequently get is, ‘Should I drink diet soda or regular soda?’ and my answer is that it’s a terrible question. The answer is ‘no.’ You shouldn’t drink either one of those every day. It’s not a healthy choice, and that’s the bottom line. There’s no evidence that it’s going to help.” Swithens says she doesn’t want to be part of the “food police.” Her goal, she says, “is to make sure that people are aware of what they are doing and understand that this stuff may not actually help you and could be contributing to the same outcomes that you were trying to avoid.” Swithers offers alternatives to people who are looking to ween off diet sodas or the nonnutritive sweeteners, such as taking a few sips of the soda and then tossing it. “After a while, you’ll get tired of wasting the money. Drink unsweetened teas or sweeten your own teas and coffees. You are less likely to put nine teaspoons of sugar or sweetener in your beverage but by drinking pre-sweetened beverages or diet beverages, you’re consuming that without conscious thought. Drink water. She recommended using frozen fruit-pineapples, melons, etc., to naturally sweeten the water to make it more appealing. “No one should be drinking a sweetened beverage every single day,” Swithers concluded. “It is not healthy, and water is really phenomenal.”

Celebrating 100 years of Lions International, the Zionsville Lions Club is pleased to announce this year’s Fall Festival theme, Yo! Ho! Ho! And a Park Full of Fun. The club, comprised of approximately 150 members, will host the 64th Annual Zionsville Lions Club Fall Festival September 8-10 with new attractions added to the traditional weekend festivities. The annual festival attracts approximately 25,000 attendees throughout the festival weekend.

he weekend kicks off with the VIP Carnival on Friday, September 8. This unique opportunity provides a night of fun for special needs individuals, their families and caregivers. In partnership with the HAWK Foundation, the Zionsville Lions Club offers this opportunity every year and draws in families from all over the state. The beloved Fall Festival Parade kicks off on Saturday, September 9 at 10 a.m. The parade will begin at the Zionsville Community High School parking lot and will march down the historic brick street in downtown Zionsville, ending in the Lions Club park. Festival-goers of all ages will have several options to choose from for entertainment, shopping and food. The Carnival and Midway will operate Friday from 6-11 p.m., Saturday from noon-11 p.m. and Sunday from 12-6 p.m. The Boone County Sheriff’s Department, Zionsville Fire Department and Zionsville Police Department will present a Safety Fair with demonstrations on Saturday, September 9. The Kids’ Corner will have bounce houses, slides and interactive booths. The Pet Pavilion will feature vendors with a vast selection of items and products for your pets throughout the weekend and will feature live acts from Silly Safaris on Sunday. Live music from The Impalas

will entertain the crowds on Saturday night from 7-11 p.m. in the adult lounge. The Lounge is open from 5:30-11 p.m. The young adults in the community are invited to a drug and alcohol-free dance party in the gazebo on Saturday evening and will be entertained by the cool, rhythmic stylings of DJ Blazin Traxx. The Silent Auction boasts a plethora of unique, must-have items this year. The Lions Club is still accepting items for the auction, which will be conducted from 2-6 p.m. Saturday. However, early bird bidding will begin online August 1 at qtego.net/auc/zlc. All donations are tax-deductible. Some of the items that will be available for auction include a signed T.Y. Hilton Colts jersey, a signed 16x20 photo of the infamous Bob Knight “chair-throw,” a signed Pete Rose jersey and a signed Johnny Lattner 1953 Heisman Notre Dame jersey. Mike Moran, the 1st Vice-President of the Zionsville Lions Club, is excited to be overseeing the silent auction for the second time and emphasized that it takes the assistance and dedication of his fellow Lions to pull off the auction and the entire festival from top to tail. “I really enjoy being part of such a great organization,” Moran said. “The Lions Club volunteers work tirelessly at putting together this wonderful tradition, in addition to the other events and

works that the club does throughout the year. What people may not realize is the amount of service hours and maintenance that goes into keeping the park in such excellent condition so that our park partners, residents and visitors can continuously enjoy the park’s amenities. The club does not receive local funding outside of our fundraising efforts and donations received, so the festival and silent auction is our primary revenue generator for the funds that are necessary to maintain this park that is truly a remarkable treasure to not only the Lions Club but to the entire town and those who visit it.” New to the festival this year will be a Wine and Canvas program on Sunday afternoon along with the return of the 15th American Dream Car Show and another day of carnival rides, arts and craft displays to discover. And of course, there’s the tasty carnival food to enjoy. The ceremonial crowning of the Miss Fall Festival’s Outstanding Teen Pageant winner will take place the following Sunday, September 17. For more information on the Fall Festival, visit zionsvillelions.com. Don’t miss an opportunity to start your bids early. The online auction begins August 1 at qtego.net/auc/zlc.

A Musical Showdown to

Rock Zionsville Writer // Janelle Morrison

s the summer winds down, the Zionsville Performing Arts Center (ZPAC) will host a musical showdown of some of pop and rock and roll’s greatest hits by the renowned tribute bands, Abbey Road and Satisfaction/The International Rolling Stones Show. “Beatles vs. Stones – A Musical Showdown” performs at ZPAC on Sunday, August 20 at 7:30 p.m. Fans of the iconic bands, the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, will be entertained by the tribute bands’ performances that are guaranteed to invoke the argument of who was the best band of all time. The Beatles and the Rolling Stones crossed paths on the music charts 53 years ago, and the debate of who was the greatest has carried on over the generations. The “on-stage musical showdown” between Abbey Road and Satisfaction/The International Rolling Stones Show will feature beloved songs spanning the Beatles’ career as well as offer a faithful rendition of the music and style of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and the bad boys of the British Invasion. The genesis of the show came from the fact that the Beatles and the Rolling Stones never performed on the same night at the same venue. Members of both bands thought fans would be enthralled to see the performers portraying their favorite music gods “duel it out” on the same stage. “Music fans never had a chance to see the Beatles and the Rolling Stones perform on the same marquee,” said Chris Legrand, who plays Mick Jagger in the show. “Now music aficionados can watch this debate play out on stage. The fans are in for an incredible night of music.” The Zionsville show is part of a 125-stop tour of the U.S., Puerto Rico,

Mexico and Canada and has been touring since 2011.The show also performs longterm residencies for a number of the Harrah’s Casino properties. The production includes some of the more popular songs from the two rock pioneers and covers the scope of their musical careers, although the set list for Satisfaction usually includes Rolling Stones songs up to the 1980s. During the two-hour show, the bands perform three sets each and end

the night with an all-out encore involving both bands. There’s a lot of good-natured jabbing between the bands as well. “Without Beatlemania, the Stones might still be a cover band in London,” said Chris Overall, who plays Paul McCartney. “There’s no question that the Beatles set the standard.” Excited to be hosting this incredible night of nostalgia and high-energy entertainment is Rachel Vining, ZPAC Director. Vining emphasized that the performing arts center is not just for the students and their families but is a place for all members of the community to come and

enjoy great performances and speakers. Vining is constantly exploring ways to utilize the venue in ways to make it profitable and to bring more enrichment to the community while maintaining affordability for the patrons. “The vision of our programming is to bring events to the community of high interest in addition to the events that showcase our students,” Vining stated. “We have in the past and are looking to continue to incorporate our students when possible at the other events that take place at our center. Over a year ago, we did an event with Vic Wooten, a renowned bass player and multi-GRAMMY Award winner. Wooten came in and did some workshops with our band students, and afterward, they performed with him. It was a fantastic show. That’s the direction that we would like to continue moving as a school district and as a performing arts center. “The support of these events financially is important to our department and programming. The ticket sales are how we are able to continue to bring that caliber of artists and shows like ‘Beatles vs. Stones – A Musical Showdown’ to Zionsville. I’m excited about this show for multiple reasons, but I am also excited for our technical team. We’ve got a great sound tech and front-of-house engineer for this show. There is a lot of cool stuff coming in with the backlines of the show. It is going to be really fantastic.” Tickets are $35-$65 and may be purchased online at zvilleperformingarts. org, by phone at 317-733-4833 or at the box office. The Zionsville Performing Arts Center is located at 1000 Mulberry St. in Zionsville. The show is appropriate for all ages. Visit the show website at Beatlesvs-Stones.com.

ZCC is Looking for a Few Good Men Writer // Janelle Morrison • Photography // JJ Kaplan and submitted

The Zionsville Century Club (ZCC) is a group of men interested in supporting our local community in the greater Zionsville and Indianapolis area. The members come from all walks of life and varying financial backgrounds. As individuals, it is challenging to make a meaningful impact in our communities, but as a group, these members have the ability to contribute to the growth of our community in ways that were never thought possible.

he genesis of ZCC came from the “giving circles” model that originated in Jackson, Michigan, in 2006. The “100 Women Who Care” group started the fundraising model of bringing 100 individuals together in a single meeting and raising funds for the nonprofit of their choice. The founder of ZCC, Todd Sullivan, got the idea from his mother who is in a chapter in Dayton, Ohio, that has grown to over 200 members in their ladies group. Sullivan seized the opportunity to pull together a few of his local friends and create ZCC. Word spread among the local gentlemen, and the group has raised nearly $70,000 for 11 nonprofits.

The goal is to get 100 men to give $100 at every quarterly meeting to a nonprofit that impacts the people of central Indiana. All charities and organizations up for consideration must be in the Indianapolis area, a non-profit 501(c)(3) and non-controversial. “We come together and drop our charity or nonprofit name in a hat, and we pick three of those to present at the meeting that night,” Sullivan explained. “Each person representing those three gets five minutes to pitch their organization. Some members have a personal connection to the group that they are presenting, and some don’t, but they believe in the mission of that organization.

“The club is not just for Zionsville residents. It’s open to men from all of central Indiana. The idea is that we want to keep the money here in the central Indiana communities in which we live. It’s a simple concept. We are bringing together local men for one hour, and we all write a check that night. We vote, the winner is announced and everyone writes a check to that organization. Afterward, we deliver the checks to the organization, and it is a great feeling when we do that.” Layth Hussain, Carmel resident and ZCC member, joined the club nine months ago, and his organization was a recent winner this past May. Hussain is the president of Helping Challenged Children,

Zionsville_2017_August_Design_CenturyClub.indd 1

2017-07-26 1:56 PM

Inc. (HCCI). His organization was awarded $6,900. HelpingChallengedChildren.org was founded in 2002, and its volunteers and supporters have raised more than $130,000 to help children in need across Indiana purchase medical equipment that their insurance doesn’t cover. “People ask me if there is payment for the work that we do at Helping Challenged Children, and I reply with, ‘Yes, every time that I get a picture of one of the kids from their parents, that’s the payment,’ Hussain said. “I use the analogy that I work to feed the family and volunteer at HCCI to feed my soul. We’re not a big organization. There are 10 of us in total. Together, we spend six months out of the year planning our one fundraising event in March. It’s a bowling event at Woodland Bowl, and we raise $20,000$30,000 in addition to other one-offs that we do. “As word has gotten out about us, more families have come to us for help, and we ran out of funds last year, which was very difficult to have to turn people down. That led me to explore other fundraising mechanisms. In the meantime, I was recruited

to ZCC by a couple of the members, Rob Mutzl and Brian Pyne. They invited me to a meeting and told me to bring a blank check. I went out to the meeting and met Todd who explained that they wanted to broaden their scope and reach the 100 members quickly, so they were looking for guys to join from the surrounding areas.” Hussain said that he was immediately sold on the concept of ZCC at his first

meeting and was thrilled when his organization was voted on this last May. “The hardest part is presenting why your organization is more deserving than the other two awesome organizations. I explained that we had run out of funds, and we had pending projects such as a set of hearing aids for a child, adaptive trikes for a couple of children and a learning aid for a family through the Indiana School

FOUR MAJOR AREAS OF CONCERN FOR THE AFFLUENT TODAY In working with and listening to our clients, we have identified four major areas the affluent are concerned with today when it comes to their finances. It is not surprising to us that the concerns go well beyond asset management and investment allocations. According to CEG World Wide, a California based research and consulting firm, there are roughly 640,000 financial advisors in the US. If asked, 100% of these advisors would answer that they offer Investment Consulting in one form or another with the objective to grow and preserve wealth. The affluent however seek more. They are seeking true wealth management and advanced planning, which is only provided by 6.6% of the financial advisors in the nation, according to data by CEG.

Wealth Enhancement

Charitable Giving

Wealth Protection

Wealth Enhancement. The affluent today are looking for ways to increase and maximize their current cash-flow and their cash-flow in retirement. A great start is assessing the effectiveness of the current cash management, as well as the appropriateness of existing credit and lending facilities and optimize them when possible. Wealth enhancement also includes managing the biggest expense everyone will incur in their lifetime: paying taxes to our often time not so silent partner – Uncle Sam. Mitigating income taxes and not paying more than your fair share can be done in various ways. An easy first step is to ensure that tax-advantaged vehicles like 401k’s, IRAs, ROTH IRAs, and cash-balance plans, which are very effective for attorneys, doctors and small business owners, are maximized.

Charitable Giving. The affluent want to make a difference in the communities they live in, and they are seeking help to give back in the most efficient ways. 83% of our clients support various charitable causes and maximize their giving by establishing family foundations, implementing scholarships and opening donor advised funds with family members as board members. One of the goals for these clients is to foster a charitable legacy and cultivate a family tradition of giving back for generations to come.

Wealth Protection. The affluent want to make sure that their assets are not unjustly taken. Planning for controllable risks first by implementing strategies like business ownership changes and partner buy-sell agreements for business owners, or trusts, and pre- and post-nuptial agreements for heirs can be followed by managing non-controllable risks, which can normally be addressed through insurance.

to arrange a consultation

Wealth Transfer. Besides charitable giving, this area includes taking care of heirs by passing on family values and assets the best way possible. The most important step is to establish an effective Estate Plan and Gifting Strategy, which align with family values and goals. A complete estate plan should also include documentation regarding end-of-life issues like power of attorney, health care declaration and guardianship of children.

At Lions Wealth Management of Noyes (LWM), we are big believers in success on purpose. Having a vision for exactly where you want to go is only half the battle. Having a focused process in place that will get you there is what you need. The “LWM Advanced Planning Advantage” (APA) is a process we have developed to bring vision and focus together in deliberate action steps. It includes goal based investment consultation and all areas the affluent are concerned with today.

for the Blind. With those funds, we were able to fulfill those requests, and it was just a great feeling to be able to do that.” Ascent 121 was delighted to be the recipient of a ZCC donation. Ascent 121 provides long-term trauma recovery services for teen survivors of sex trafficking. When thinking about this issue, most people imagine that it only happens on the other side of the world. But the reality is that it happens right here in Indiana every day. Ascent 121 serves over 100 kids a year. Most are teenage girls, but there are boys as well, and they see kids as young as 10 or 11 years old. Most kids spend six to 12 months in their care. One component of Ascent 121’s service that is unique is that right from day one, each of the kids has an individual therapist and a family therapist. Personal recovery is the focus for one, while family therapy is the focus for the other. “Funds from ZCC allow Ascent 121 to extend the scope of their

survivor services, both in the number of kids they can serve as well as the length of services provided for them,” explained Megan McGuire, CEO of Ascent 121. “Our agency is largely funded by the generosity of donors like ZCC. We are so grateful for their support of our work.” The club has been meeting at the Zionsville American Legion every quarter and invites men who are interested in learning more about ZCC and what they do to attend their upcoming meeting and 1st annual cookout August 10 at the Zionsville American Legion. There will be food and drinks available from 6:30 pm on. The meeting will follow the cookout from 8:30-9:30 p.m. For more information, visit zionsvillecenturyclub. com.

Celebrating 10 Years of

Artomobilia Writer // Janelle Morrison

The annual Carmel Artomobilia event has boasted one of the most eclectic gatherings of original period-correct automobiles anywhere, including Supercars, Exotic, Sports Cars, Classics, Racers, Historically Preserved, Indiana Built, Sedan/Coupe and more. The event brings in an estimated 15,000 spectators and enthusiasts into the heart of the city of Carmel. The event’s organizers and sponsors are celebrating the 10th year of this remarkable display of automotive ingenuity and design.

his year’s Artomobilia will take place Saturday, August 26 and will feature approximately 400 cars representing more than 26 classes, including the addition of a brand new class, the Resto-Mod Class. This new exhibition of vehicles will feature custom-built vehicles by Troy Trepanier of Rad Rides by Troy who is judging the new class. Enthusiasts and collector cars come in all shapes and sizes, and the car corrals feature brand-specific examples across 26 different corrals. While these are not formally judged, they represent the best examples of what is going on in national and local car clubs as well as provide a great opportunity to see firsthand how you can participate in the car hobby.

Artomobilia Cofounder John Leonard is excited to share the event’s 10th anniversary with the 50th anniversary of the Chevy Camaro, including a display of various models of the iconic performance car, including a 1967 Chevy Camaro RS that was owned by the late Pete Estes, courtesy of his son, Bill Estes. “We will see the return of the antique trucks class,” Leonard said. “Most of the classes are largely unchanged, but we’ve

added some additional cars that haven’t been seen in those classes. We will have a Porsche Singer coming this year. It’s a little bit like a Resto-Mod except that it’s built using the best of Porsche’s parts – body, suspension, brakes, etc. That car is coming up from Jeffersonville and is worth between $400,000-$500,000. It is sure to be a real crowd pleaser. We will have a lot of other vehicles on display that are historically significant as well.” Over the years, Artomobilia organizers have and continue to collaborate with local galleries and artists to represent the automotive art and design, embracing the local art and design found within the Carmel Arts and Design District. The Hoosier Salon, located in the Arts and Design District, will be featuring an invitational paint-out during Artomobilia where artists will be able to compete in a contest to earn the commission for the official promotional artwork for next year’s promotional materials of the event. Adding another artistic component to Artomobilia, live music and area bands will perform at various locations throughout the event on Saturday. The businesses and restaurants are also a major component of what makes the event attractive to attendees and unique from other car shows around the nation. Participants and owners of the cars on display continue to enjoy the amenities provided by the Carmel Arts and Design District. When asked what it meant to him to be celebrating 10 years of the Carmel Artomobilia, Leonard said, “Ten years is a fascinating milestone. We’ve had a lot of growth over the years. Predominantly over the last five years, we’ve seen a lot of growth on a lot of fronts. We have a lot more people from the local community involved in the event, and we’re getting a lot more attention both from within the greater metropolitan Indianapolis community as well as from around the country as we begin to bring on supporting organizations like Barrett Jackson and RM Sotheby’s Auctions.” For more information and a list of events, visit carmelartomobilia.com.

Pete Estes: A

t o

An Iconic Man and His Car Writer // Janelle Morrison

Mr. “Pete” Estes

stes was an engineer who rose through the ranks of General Motors (GM) to be its 15th president. He was a true pioneer in the auto industry. Estes’ passion for machinery and “things that moved” began at a young age for the future visionary. Eventually, after graduating high school, he applied to General Motors Institute (GMI) and was assigned to GM Research Laboratories. Estes apprenticed under the founder of the laboratories, Charles F. “Boss” Kettering, a renowned inventor. Estes left the labs in 1946 after completing four years at GMI and two years at the University of Cincinnati where he earned his degree. He took a job as a motor development engineer at Oldsmobile. There he had the opportunity to work on the famous Olds Rocket V8 engine, the industry’s first compression engine. He advanced through several promotions to assistant chief engineer at Oldsmobile. In 1956, Estes was appointed to chief engineer by Semon E. Knudsen, the general

Fifty years ago, an American icon was born when the very first 1967 Chevrolet Camaro was sold. Since then, more than five million units have been sold of the six generations of the Camaro. The car’s rich history and evolution over the past five decades are being honored at this year’s Carmel Artomobilia with a reverent and remarkable display that will feature the 1967 Chevy Camaro RS that was owned by the man who put the Camaro on the map, the late Mr. Elliott (Pete) M. Estes.

manager of Pontiac. At the age of 45, Estes was appointed as GM vice president and general manager of Pontiac. He was the youngest general manager at any of the GM car divisions. Under Estes, Pontiac’s share of the domestic market rose from 6.4 percent in 1961 to 9.5 percent in 1965. Estes was elevated to general manager of Chevrolet in 1965. During that year, Chevrolet built three million cars and trucks, the first single manufacturer in history to accomplish that in one year. After Ford debuted its very successful Mustang, Estes countered with the Camaro. The iconic car became and has remained one of America’s most popular production line sports cars. It is one of the many accomplishments that have etched Estes’ name in the history books. A local celebrity in his own right, Bill

Estes, president of the Bill Estes dealerships located in Central Indiana, shared memories of his father and the fateful night around the family’s dinner table when the car was dubbed with its illustrious name. “I came for dinner one night, and it was just my mother and [me]. My brothers had gone away to school, and my dad pulled this piece of paper out of his pocket and said, ‘We’ve got to name this new little car that’s coming out,’” Bill said. “He had three names listed on this piece of paper, and he showed it to my mother and [me]. My mother liked the name Camaro that was listed and asked my dad what it meant. He replied that it meant a warm, friendly friend, and she said, ‘That’s it. That’s a perfect name.’ Months went by before we realized that the car had actual-

ly come out and was called the Camaro, so that’s how it started. “Chevrolet was losing some market share in the sports car area when the Mustang came out, and so my dad and his people identified the need and decided that they needed to bring the Chevy Camaro out. It has outsold the Mustang for many years, and it does have an unbelievable heritage.” Bill went on to explain that there has been and continues to be a segment of our society that loves sports cars. While there is a market for the foreign and other domestic high-performance vehicles, there remains a niche in our society that loves the Camaro and represents the under $100,000 demographic. The Camaro continues to perform and enthrall this niche which is why it continues to have success beyond five decades.

Bill himself has kept four Camaros in his personal collection, one for each of the years that his three children were born and his father’s beloved 1967 Chevy Camaro RS. “I’ve always loved those [Camaros],” he emphasized. “It is just a great car. I do have my dad’s car. This will actually be on display at this year’s Artomobilia. He bought it as a company car and kept it. When he retired in Arizona, he kept in out there. Sadly, he drove it to the airport the day that he passed away. It was a favorite car of his to drive all of the time. People thought that he would have driven a Cadillac or some other big car, but he loved to jump in that old Camaro and drive it.” Pete also owned the one and only Chevy Camaro SS Convertible. Bill told us that he found his dad’s car but gave it a pass when he saw the opening bid on the Mecum auction page.

“My dad did have the only SS convertible that was ever made,” he confirmed. “It was a company car, and the engineering department made it for him. Those company cars are usually torn apart and sold as a ‘normal’ car and not as a design car. Eventually, somebody bought it and reconstructed it as an SS convertible. One day, an associate called me and said that I ought to buy my dad’s old car that was in a Mecum auction in Illinois, so my CFO and I got online to look into it, and the opening bid was $560,000.” Bill paused and then resumed. “We promptly hung up the phone. At least I know that the car still exists, and there is a title with my dad’s name on it.” Bill spoke about his dad with great pride and respect. The close-knit Estes family was supported by a devoted and caring father who was also an American innovator and brilliant industry leader. Bill shared a light-hearted story that displayed the bond and respect that the young Estes had in his teenage years for his father. “I owned a baby blue Pontiac Tempest with small hub caps in those days,” Bill recalled. “You’d never know that it was a hot rod and that I had slicks in the back in the car. One Sunday morning, I decided to go to the local race track and drag it, just to see what it was like. I went down there, and they put me in whatever class they put me in because it was ‘just a stock Tempest.’ I went about 20 mph faster than everyone else, so I came back around and got in line, waiting to go again. “I got out of the car and was standing and talking to a couple of people. I looked across the race track into the stands. There was only one person sitting in those stands. It was my dad. I got into my car, stopped at the church, took off the slicks and put them in the trunk. I went home, and never was there a word spoken [about it] between my dad and [me] after that. I enjoy telling these stories about my dad. Looking back at it all, it’s pretty neat. He was an industrialist and an innovator. I am obviously very proud of him.”

OUR FEATURED CHARITY

Indiana Children's Wish Fund O

ur mission is to put smiles on the faces of Indiana children who have been diagnosed with a life-threatening illness by making a dream come true. Our children have had to fight battles that children should not have to fight. These children go through treatments that make them sick for days on end. They forget what childhood is all about. Granting their wish gives these brave children something to look forward to and helps build strength and hope for their futures. What We Do Indiana Children’s Wish Fund is a single-entity statewide wish-granting organization, that grants wishes to Indiana children, ages 3-18, who have been diagnosed with a life-threatening or terminal illness. We are not affiliated with any other wish-granting organizations. Indiana Children’s Wish Fund was founded in August of 1984 and is celebrating 31 years of wish granting. Wish Children are referred to our organization by their doctors, nurses, social workers, and parents. Our most requested wish is a week at Disney World for the whole family, along with meeting celebrities, shopping sprees and family vacations. Some of the unique wishes we have granted include meeting Presidents, the Pope, working with Mother Theresa and bringing a Grandmother to the United States from Ethiopia to visit her grandchild. We have even had a wish child who became an extra on the set of a Tom Cruise movie! Quick Facts • The average cost of a wish is $6,000.00. • We are a not-for-profit 501C3 recognized charity registered with the State of Indiana. • Funding for wishes is made possible through the support of corporate donations, individuals and fundraising events. • To date, Indiana Children’s Wish Fund has granted more than 3,200 wishes to Indiana children.

detailed as are the images he creates. You can check out more of his work at arosstyler.com. For 2017, internationally recognized photographer Anthony Ross Tyler will join the Artomobilia and present a exhibition throughout the day that features both his past work as well him actively applying his art. Those that wish to participate in the exhibition will be parked in a group near Main stage, and their cars will be individually photographed in an “industrial” setting.

HOOSIER SALON

ore than simply a gallery in the Carmel Arts & Design District, the Hoosier Salon envisions a statewide environment for both visual art and its public appreciation that carries forward the grand tradition of the artists of Hoosier Group, who remained and thrived in Indiana. These artists created outstanding art which was nationally recognized and that ignited the intellect, enhanced education and helped heal the body and spirit. Today’s Hoosier artists and patrons continue that history, and contribute to our present society by capturing moments in time, increasing commerce in the state of Indiana and celebrate the differences among individuals to achieve a more inclusive society. We exist as a non-profit organization to propel our state’s precious legacy into the 21st century and call upon others to join us in this effort so that all residents of Indiana may have the opportunity to experience the many benefits of this rich cultural heritage.

2017 SPECIALTY CLASSES

The following Specialty Classes highlight a broad cross-section of automotive design.

FM: FEATURED MARQUE: Chevrolet Camaro: This class will feature a broad-array of examples of the marque in the form of original, period-correct, specialty and race cars. • EM: Emeritus: This class features exclusively past year’s “Artomobilia First in Class” or “Artomobilia Best in Show” winners across all makes, models and years. Cars will be presented in the appropriate class, but will be designated as Emeritus, and judged independently with the other Emeritus cars. TN: THEN & NOW: This class features original, period-correct models, both its past model alongside its present model. From Beetles to Challengers to Camaros, compare and contrast the heritage of the same marque over many years, and the modern designers “take” on an iconic shape. CS: CARROLL SHELBY CARS: This class features original, period-correct cars built by and/or influenced by Carroll Shelby from the 50’s to the present day, including his influence on the Ford GT. Adopting Carroll’s no nonsense approach, these automotive icons will demonstrate how matching good-looks with superior power make for a winning combination every time.

CARMEL ARTOMOBILIA

Carmel_2017_Concours_Classes.indd 1

NG: NEXT GENERATION: This class features a cross-section of cars, all years, makes and models, which are owned by individuals 18 years or younger. Join the next generation of young car collectors, as we provide a forum for them to present their first “Best in Class” candidate. GTO1: PONTIAC GT0 1964 – 1974: After hitting the half-century mark, the Pontiac GTO continues to serve as the foundation for the “Muscle Car” era in American automotive history. This class will feature all original, period-correct GTOs that were produced from 1964 – 1974. GTO2: PONTIAC GT0: 2004 – 2006: Building on the heritage of the GTO, entrants in this class feature the GTO revival from 2004 to 2006 model years represented by an import for Pontiac, a left-hand drive version of the Holden Monaro, itself a coupé variant of the Holden Commodore. RESTOMOD: ALL YEARS: This collection of iconic cars and trucks draws interest from their classic styling roots while integrating amazing advancements in automobile technology over the past 40+ years to enhance the performance, comfort and safety of these vehicles.

2017 STANDARD CLASSES A: ANTIQUE: PRE-1924: This class features original and/or restored period-correct models, including Ford Model A, Ford Model T, and Brass-era cars. Representing the genesis of the automotive hobby, and the foundation for today’s familiar cars, this ancient iron, sets the stage for more technologically advanced mass-produced machines to come. AC1: AMERICAN CAR: 1925 – 1954: This class features original or restored, periodcorrect American convertible, coupe, or sedan models produced from 1925 – 1954. Perhaps not your father’s Oldsmobile, but then again, maybe, this is the era when America’s cars of yesterday began to physically resemble cars of today AC2: AMERICAN CAR: 1955 – 1973: This class features original or restored, periodcorrect American convertible, coupe, or sedan models produced from 1955 – 1973. Fins, wide whitewalls and increasingly chrome galore, these are the cars that spawned the Baby Boomer generation sometimes from the confines of their cavernous backseats. ASC1: AMERICAN SPORTS CARS: 1948 – 1959: This class features original or restored,

2017 specialty classes

period-correct American sports car models produced from 1948 – 1959.Including examples like the original Chevy Corvette and Ford T-bird, these are examples of a post-war generation of coupes long on performance and cool design. ASC2: AMERICAN SPORTS CARS: 1960 – 1973: This class features original or restored, period-correct American sports car models produced from 1960 –1973.

ASC3: AMERICAN SPORTS CARS: 1974 – PRESENT: This class features original or restored, period-correct American sports car models produced from 1974 – Present. Despite whatever the fluctuating economic and cultural mood of the day, Americans have never lost their appetite for personal performance cars. These are the torch-bearers and survivors. CC: CLASSIC CARS: 1925 – 1948: This class includes “closed top” and “open top” original or restored, period-correct fine or unusual motor cars which were produced from 1925 – 1948.

EC1: EUROPEAN CAR: 1925 – 1973: This class features original or restored, period-correct European convertible, coupe, or sedan car models produced from 1925 – 1973.

ESC3: EUROPEAN SPORTS CAR: 1974 – PRESENT: This class features original or restored, period-correct European sports car models produced from 1974 – Present. The last three decades has produced an unmatched variety of performance cars that have generated a unique driving experience and common love for the sports car.

SC: SUPER CARS: 1974 – PRESENT: This class features original or restored, period-correct, high-performance sports car models produced from 1974 – Present. This class features the unicorns of the automotive industry combining high-performance and high-style; a combination, incidentally, that works every time it’s tried.

THE DRIVING FORCE BEHIND

Fuelicious Story by Janelle Morrison

The Artomobilia team and its partners are gearing up for the 3rd annual Fuelicious event held at the 33-acre Lucas Oil Estate in Carmel, on Friday, August 25, 2017. Fuelicious excites the senses by delivering a distinct environment, a premium culinary experience, an incredible collection of automobiles, and a premier audience of committed automotive enthusiasts that combine to create an unmatched, exclusive social entertainment experience supporting the work of the Indiana Children’s Wish Fund.

uelicious will feature 50 collector cars hosted at the Lucas Estate in Carmel. Purpose drives the focus of this event by combining the awareness and the resources of automotive enthusiasts, business leaders, and local personalities in supporting the incredible work of the Indiana Children’s Wish Fund. Indiana Children’s Wish Fund is a not-for-profit statewide wish-granting organization focused on Indiana children, ages 3-18, with life-threatening or terminal illness. Indiana Children’s Wish Fund is not affiliated with any other wish-granting organizations. It was founded in August of 1984 and is celebrating over 30 years of wish granting. The “wish” Children are referred to the Indiana Children’s Wish Fund by their doctors, nurses, social workers, parents, etc. John Leonard, the Executive Director of Artomobilia and founder of Fuelicious, described what participants, sponsors and guests should

Carmel_2017_Concours_ArtomobiliaFuelicious.indd 1

expect to experience during this year’s Artmobilia and Fuelicious events. “I attend a number of car events around the country each year and one of my favorites that I attend with my wife and kids is the Monterey Car week,” Leonard said. “Thousands of people come from all over the country to check out all of the events that occur that week. They come out because it’s a beautiful location but more so because of the content of the cars is fantastic. In a course of 4 -5 days, attendees can enjoy between 5 and 10 different events and each event is tailored for a specific demographic. The entire experience is high-end and offers first-rate customer experience. Those are the same characteristics that I am trying to create with Fuelicious and Artomobilia. The first priority is that we want everyone to have a full white glove experience. The city of Carmel has a tremendous amount of assets and we are trying

to leverage those one-by-one in order to offer great experiences in unique environments with great automotive content. “Artomobilia all started with a small group of individuals, including Roger Brummett, Evan Lurie, Andrew Lee and myself, that were passionate about cars, and the automotive lifestyle. What’s kept me motivated over the years are the personal relationships that have grown out of it, as well as the incredible stories of many of the car owners and the spotlight we’ve been able to shine of the incredible work of the Indiana Children’s Wish Fund. The participants that support Artomobilia have been really supportive of Indy Wish, both personally and professionally, and so it makes sense for the Indiana Children’s Wish Fund to be our focus at Fuelicious.” J’Lynn Benner, director of wish operations at the Indiana Children’s Wish Fund, spoke about the impact the fundraisers such as Fuelicious

CARMEL ARTOMOBILIA

2017-07-27 11:20 AM

has on their organization and what that enables them to do for Hoosier children. Since the organization was formed, the IndyWish team has continued to refine organization’s fundraising mechanisms and to date, the Indiana Children’s Wish Fund has granted more than 3,200 wishes to Indiana Children. “One of the our focuses over the years has been to reformat how we raised funds and we began fundraising through fabulous events and

long-term partnerships with corporations and individuals rather than solicitations,” Benner said. “Fuelicious is a growing event that has a great following and has become one of the organization’s favorites. It is a newer event but in my opinion, it is one of the finest events in the community. From the minute that you arrive at Fuelicious, you feel like you are at something very special. You feel special and you know that you are doing something incredible for Hoosier children. All the proceeds we receive goes directly to our children’s wishes. This event is growing I think that it has the potential to become one of the largest fundraisers that benefits our organization and the Indiana children that we serve.” Fuelicious assembles one of the most unique and desirable collections of automobiles and automotive enthusiasts. Sponsorships are currently available. If you have this same per-

spective and values, they invite you to join their efforts as a partner for the up-coming Fuelicious event in support of the Indiana Children’s Wish Fund. You can support the Indiana Children’s Wish Fund by hosting 10 individuals with a table, or entertain your clients and/or reach a broader audience with a corporate sponsorship. For more information on tables or individual tickets, visit www.fuelicious.com.

Indiana Children’s Wish Fund • The average cost of a wish is $6,000 • We are a not-for-profit 501C3 recognized charity registered with the State of Indiana • Funding for wishes is made possible through the support of corporate donations, individuals and fundraising events

Writer // Janelle Morrison • Photography // Photos submitted

A local automobile enthusiast, Les Acree is a veteran of car shows and fervently looks forward to showing his vehicles at Artomobilia every year. Acree’s collection includes original cars and trucks as well as RestoMods. RestoMods have the timeless appearance of the original but have the more modern, high-performance parts of today. Acree’s RestoMod Corvettes feature the best of both classic and modern-day ingenuity and design.

rtomobilia is one of the premier car shows anywhere in my opinion,” Acree said. “It involves not only car enthusiasts, but the city plays into it as well. It is a well-organized event, and the venue of downtown Carmel is an outstanding venue for people to show their automobiles. There is a variety of automobiles at this event, and I believe that it has become the car culture mecca in Indiana. It also features quality cars that are usually several notches above most other car shows. It’s a large show with over 400 vehicles, and it rivals some of the national shows.” Acree has attended over the last few years and always bring something different to Artomobilia. This year, he is bringing a classic 1948 Chevrolet Hauler with a 1959 Corvette loaded on it.

“This year, I wanted to do something different that I think will appeal to a large demographic,” he said. “I think people will enjoy seeing the classic hauler with a classic car on it. Being there, supporting the event and supporting the city of Carmel are what it’s about for me.” Acree talked about his affinity for Corvettes and the role that RestoMods will play in the future of the car collecting hobby. “The future of the Corvette is already on the drawing board,” he stated. “The Corvette’s evolutions will take it from a front engine layout to a mid-engine layout. If you look at the Corvette that you can buy today for $100,000, it rivals a car that you buy in Europe that costs $300,000-$500,000. The Corvette’s technology, performance and styling rival its

European counterparts. There have been several iconic Corvettes over the years. What I am really into now is RestoMods. I have original Corvettes in my collections, but I will take a Corvette that is not restorable, and I RestoMod it using the original body but all modern parts. “If you look at the hobby going forward, I believe that the RestoMod is going to be a significant part of the hobby. It is already bringing in huge dollars for the ones that are done right with the look and feel of the older car with all of the modern components of the new Corvette, such as Bluetooth technology, modern suspensions, brakes, air conditioning and everything that is available in today’s market.” Acree talked shared his thoughts on the future of car shows like Artomobilia and on the upcoming gener-

Carmel_2017_Concours_Artomobila-Acree.indd 1

2017-07-26 2:02 PM

ations of automobile enthusiasts. “Most collectors or enthusiasts start when they are young. They get the bug about cars,” Acree expressed. “Whether they grew up around cars that their father had or just grew up in the car culture, it’s started by being exposed to it in some way. I grew up in Greenwood, Indiana, and was kind of a ‘gear head’ even before I was a teenager. I have several Corvettes and old trucks in my collection now. I enjoy old GMC and Chevrolet pickup trucks, and I have some old semis. “I believe that there are cars that are meaningful to some people that maybe belonged to their father or grandfather. Some people grew up in Chevrolet or Ford families. Then there are some people who specialize in a genre of cars that are of particular interest to them, but if you are a true enthusiast, it doesn’t matter what kind of car it is. You admire all of the cars for their quality, restoration and their place in history.” He went on to talk about the benefits of meeting like-minded people and craftsman when attending shows like Artomobilia. “You have a shared passion with the people that you meet at these events,” Acree said. “You meet talented craftsmen, and you develop not only a business relationship with them, but you also build friendships simply by being enthusiasts.”

Acree said that some classes of cars are diminishing in value and appreciation due to the fact that large scores of people who were driving these cars in those decades have passed on. However, he is confident that the car culture will remain strong in the upcoming decades in spite of the younger generations having a plethora of alternate entertainment options. “I believe that demographics with any sport or hobby or even in the professional world are always changing, and you have to adapt with the change,” Acree emphasized. “If you look at the car culture now, a lot of cars have a shelf life.

For example, the 1940 cars are diminishing in value because the men and women who grew up with those cars are no longer here to appreciate them, so there’s no emotional connection to those cars. The ‘50s cars are beginning to diminish in value because the men and women who grew up with those cars are now in their late 70s, so now we are looking at the ‘60s and ‘70s cars, and they are very popular. That segment of the car culture and the customization of that genre are appealing to the people in their 50s and 60s. The interest in those cars is going to be around for at least another 10 years.” He said very few cars stand the test of time and beyond the generation that grew up with them like the timeless Duesenberg. “If you look at kids today, in particular the ones who are growing up in our area, they will eventually obtain a level of success and want to buy a nice car,” Acree said. “The Vipers and the Corvettes of the ‘80s and ‘90s are of interest to the younger generations. I believe that the car culture will always be evolving, and it will evolve into an affinity that people have with cars they grew up with.” Be sure to check out Acree’s collection and his explanation of his RestoMod work on YouTube (search “Three Amazing Corvettes”).

The Smart Pergola Have you been dreaming of making your deck or patio more usable? Perhaps youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve thought about adding a cover to make it less susceptible to the sun or

a roof that allows use even in the rain. The Smart Pergola has your answer. The Smart Pergola is the exclusive distributor in Indiana for the Arcadia Luxury Louvered Roof. Claudio and Anna Bertolini, owners of

The Smart Pergola, have been installing the system since 2014. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We sell and install the ideal patio and deck cover system which can be opened, angled or closed with a remote controlled motorized operation. It is rain tight when closed with an

integrated gutter system,” says Claudio. “The Smart Pergola, with its flexibility to become a closed roof or a standard pergola, offers protection from the elements. By angling the louvers against the sun, shade can be created with an open roof above, which stimulates air circulation underneath.” Customers say that it adds another flexible room to their house, while still keeping an outdoor area, says Anna. Others say they can now enjoy their outdoor area, which before was always either too hot or too wet. The Bertolinis add that it is maintenance free since it is made of high-end powder coated extruded aluminum and is

the best-engineered system on the market with four patents, preventing water leaks between the louvers, and custom motors made in the U.S. It is also UL approved. With more than 4,000 installations in North America, the Arcadia Luxury Louvered Roof is specialized and entirely focused on the R&D and manufacturing of their Louvered Roof system, Claudio says. “We at The Smart Pergola are focused and specialized in the sale, installation and service of this product with project managers and installation crews dedicated to this. The quality of our product and our service can be seen in the testimoni-

Small Business Week has been celebrated across the nation ever since President John F. Kennedy first officially introduced it. From Main Street to Wall Street, small business is recognized as the backbone of the U.S. economy. As of the 2010 Census, there were 27.9 million small businesses registered in the U.S. and just 18,500 companies of 500 employees or more. Communities rely on the viability of their local businesses, just like small businesses rely on the support of their local communities and the support of their fellow small business owners.

dvocating for small businesses and garnering the support of businesses from vibrant communities such as Carmel, Mel McMahon Stone and her husband, Lance Stone, founded Indiana Originals to better organize their efforts. Indiana Originals’ mission is to create stronger, healthier communities and more jobs in Indiana by encouraging and facilitating a greater use of independent, Indiana-owned businesses. National studies have shown that independent businesses return as much as five times more money to their local communities than large chains based out of state. Indi-

ana Originals is simplifying the search for local through the promotion of Indiana products, Indiana places and Indiana service providers. Both graduates from Indiana University, Mel and Lance met each other in grad school at DeVry University. The couple’s interest in supporting local small businesses turned into a passion and led them to launch the company in May 2014. In addition to growing a vast directory of Indiana-owned businesses, the two are parents to a young son and juggle the responsibilities of their “day” jobs seemingly effortlessly. Lance is a business analyst and project manager for NextRadio, and Mel is a radio and television personality and activist. The couple applies their knowledge of marketing and media to their business model. Mel utilizes her media resources in the interest of Indiana Original’s members by providing on-air promotions and spots on popular local television broadcast shows. She is currently heard on 93.1 WIBC, Country 97.1 HANK FM and B105.7 and often seen on WISH-TV’s Indy Style and FOX59’s Morning News. Today, Indiana Originals has grown to more than 200 businesses that represent all types of small businesses, including entertainment, restaurants, service-related businesses, health, retail, nonprofits and several more like its newest member, the Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre in Carmel. “At Indiana Originals, our mission is to create healthier stronger communities and more jobs in Indiana by encouraging and facilitating a greater use of independent, Indiana Originals’ businesses,” Mel emphasized. “Shopping local and supporting local is more than

just trendy – it’s necessary. According to a study carried out by the consulting firm Civic Economics, independent businesses put three to five times more money directly back into our local economy. Our Indiana Originals’ members are essential to a thriving economy. They create an identity for our neighborhoods and jobs for our neighbors. In the past couple of years, we’ve seen a big push to ‘shop local,’ ‘eat local’ and ‘buy local,’ but these campaigns are focused on general consumers. Sometimes, we forget that, as business owners, we are the customer too.” Mel concluded, “At Indiana Originals, we are not only trying to help Indiana original businesses stand out from their national competitors, but we are also connecting our members, so we can become one another’s customer. The more we can use Indiana Originals’ businesses for our own needs, the more we are impacting our quality of life, and the more we are working towards our mission.” As a value-add to the membership, members of Indiana Originals are encouraged to showcase their products, services and goods at Indiana Originals’ Expo and Marketplace events and are invited to attend other Indiana Originals’ sponsored events. In addition to the promotional opportunities via Indiana Originals’ local media partners, other member benefits include local branding, listing in the Indiana Originals’ online directory and app and the Indiana Originals’ membership logo to use and promote membership in addition to other resourceful benefits.

Carmel Clay Schools? Writer // Janelle Morrison • Photography // Julie Curry Photography

Another summer break has come to pass, and a new school year is about to embark. As the students prepare for their first day back, Carmel Clay Schools Superintendent Dr. Nicholas D. Wahl gave us an overview of the new principal appointments and other exciting new additions to the school district this year.

e’ve got some great administrative growth opportunities for four of our leaders,” said Dr. Wahl. “Dr. Thomas Harmas gave us 14 excellent years of leadership and service at Creekside Middle School. He started that school, staffed it and created a climate which became a culture of excellence, but more importantly, focused on students’ social and emotional learning and wellness. He did a great job with that, and we look forward to him taking that leadership talent to Carmel High School. He does an excellent job of growing leaders in his building by not only growing his assistant principals, department chairs and classroom teachers to be leaders, but he gives the students an opportunity to be leaders too. That is a big skill set and an asset that Dr. Harmas brings to CHS.” Dr. Harmas taught at Creekside Middle School since its opening in 2004. In that time, the school grew from 800 to 1,600 students. CCS’ Board of Trustees appointed Deanna Pitman as the next principal of Carmel Middle School (CMS). Pitman will replace former CMS principal Lila Jay who was named the new principal of Smoky Row Elementary. Pitman has held various leadership positions within the district, including serving as Assistant

Principal at Creekside Middle School and Principal at College Wood Elementary. “Carmel Middle is a wonderful school with a supportive community grounded in a history of tradition,” said Pitman. “As a former teacher there, I know firsthand the passion that students, parents and staff members have for their education. I am honored to have been selected to continue the great history here, and I look forward to building lasting relationships with students, families and the staff.” “Deanna’s skill set is one where she builds a community within a building where everyone is collaborative, from the teacher to the parent to the administrators in the building,” said Dr. Wahl. “She brings a positive energy to CMS. She also brings

a unique articulation piece as far as not only curricular articulation but the wellness needs of our kids as they go from elementary to middle school. We’re very excited to see Deanna at CMS, leading that building this year.” Dr. Tim Phares was appointed by the CCS Board of Trustees to serve as the next principal of Creekside Middle School. Dr. Phares will succeed outgoing principal Dr. Thomas Harmas. Dr. Phares has spent 17 years in education, most recently serving seven of those years as principal of Towne Meadow Elementary. He began his career at Carmel Clay Schools’ Orchard Park Elementary, teaching kindergarten and fifth grade. He has also held roles as an assistant principal at Prairie Trace Elementary and

principal at Orchard Park Elementary. “I am humbled and honored to be selected as the principal at Creekside Middle School,” said Dr. Phares. “Creekside is an example of educational excellence, and I could not think of a better place for me to continue to learn and grow in my educational journey. I look forward to meeting the students, families and staff at Creekside and building positive relationships for years to come.” Dr. Wahl is pleased with the board’s appointment as well. “Dr. Phares is a driven community leader,” he said. “He has tremendous relationship building skills and works well with parents and teachers. He builds that climate and culture where everyone feels like they are part of a family. He’s going to take that to Creekside where that has been established and continue to grow that.” Lila Jay, the new principal of Smoky Row Elementary, previously served as principal at CMS for seven years. She replaces Kim Barrett who retired in June of this year. “Lila Jay comes from CMS to Smoky Row and is a tremendous asset and an extremely close fit to the profile,” said

Dr. Wahl. “She brings that articulation piece that I was talking about with Deanna. She has the middle school experience coupled with her elementary background where she is going to have a K-8 view of what our students are experiencing, and that will be a real big asset to Smoky Row. Her genuine compassion and focus on students is her skill set, and she is a relationship builder as well.” Dr. Wahl went on to discuss his idea of “unstructured play,” otherwise known as recess, and how the administration is empowering teachers to make real-time decisions on the needs of the students this year. “We’ve expanded this conversation to the teachers in the classroom, the real leaders of our kids, on the real needs of the students during the day. The research shows, very clearly, that unstructured play is a healthy activity during the day, and the brain research supports that kind of physical activity. We will continue to have traditional daily recess in every elementary building, but we’re going to defer to the teachers when their students need to get up and move around or take a ‘brain’ break, a

more structured break in the classroom or outside, weather permitting. We trust our teachers to know what is best for the children inside of their classroom every day.” Dr. Wahl concluded with thanking the community and its leaders for their support of the recent referendum earlier this year. The daunting task of meeting with taxpayers, leaders and educators and educating the public throughout the election cycle paid off for Dr. Wahl and his supporters when the community voted “Yes” to Carmel Schools. “I would like to thank the community for their confidence and their endorsement of our children in the referendum,” said Dr. Wahl. “Our community voted for children. That speaks so highly of the value of public education in Carmel. That will allow us to do what we do best: offer opportunities in and out of the classroom where the children can grow academically, socially and emotionally. Our students can realize their dreams and expectations that they have for themselves and that their families have for them. That should be a big celebration for our community.”

The Carmel High School Athletics department and student athletes celebrated a record-setting year in many of its sports programs throughout the last school year. With a new school year ready to kick off, we look to 2017-18 and asked Jim Inskeep, CHS athletic director, what his expectations are for the upcoming year. We also discussed the addition of the district’s newest varsity sport, boys’ and girls’ lacrosse.

“W

e had a tremendous last school year with seven IHSAA championships and two state runners-up,” said Inskeep. “That is the challenge when you are a Carmel Greyhound: How do you meet the expectations and continue to raise the bar? The kids are already working really hard and have been over the summer break, preparing for their upcoming seasons. It’s tough for a student athlete because they know that they’re not putting on a uniform anytime soon, but the hours that they put in practicing and refining their skills have a tremendous amount of carryover on how they perform later on in the season.” Inskeep emphasized that last year’s athletes exceeded expectations in several sports, and some teams performed at a level that they had never performed at previously. The girls’ swimming team extended their national title streak to 31, and the boys’ swimming team had one of the most dominant performances in the State finals in IHSAA’s history. The CHS athletic successes didn’t stop there. The boys’ track team won their third title in a row for the first time at the State finals, and girls’ tennis capped off an undefeated season with another State championship. “As we move into the new school year, one of the great things about working in high school athletics is that we’re always interested to see how well juniors evolve into seniors and how they become the leaders of their programs,” said Inskeep. “We had a lot of big-time peer leaders in these programs that elevated the underclassmen

to get them to perform and to get them to embrace the traditions and successes that had come before them. That’s the next challenge for these rising seniors: How are they going to lead their programs? We are excited about the year’s senior class and eager to see how they respond.” CHS sports, performing arts and academics have earned a reputation for their standards of excellence and have built legacies that span over decades. Knowing the history and the expectations of their respective programs may be rather daunting to a student athlete, but Inskeep and his staff keep it all in perspective and stress the importance of a strong work ethic into their developing athletes. “The kids have to embrace the past of their programs, but they also have to understand that it doesn’t score them any more points or take time off of their race,” said Inskeep. “What the knowledge of the history gives them is the confidence that if they work hard, they know that they are going to be in a position to compete for championships. All that we ask of them is to put themselves in the position

to have success. “One thing that is unique about Carmel, in general, is that there is such a high level of success and achievement. People just expect it as a benchmark. If I’m a sophomore kid sitting in my Geometry class, sitting next to someone who’s in the national champion marching band or they’re involved in the TechHOUNDS or are an AP scholar, whatever the case is, you know that you are surrounded by kids that are working hard. I think that the modeling that the kids provide each other drives a lot of this success in a lot of different areas.” The announcement of the addition of the boys’ and girls’ lacrosse teams marks the first new varsity sport at CHS since 1983

when soccer was added as a lettering sport. “It’s very exciting,” Inskeep exclaimed. “Lacrosse has continued to gain a lot of momentum over the last decade in Carmel. Much like soccer 30 years ago, there are not a lot of people that grew up playing soccer. Today, you’d be hard pressed to find a family in Carmel that didn’t have at least one child play for at least one season of soccer. We are now getting families that have a second or third child performing in lacrosse, and we’re starting to see sustainability with the sport which was what we were looking for when we were deliberating on adding it as a varsity sport.” Inskeep mentioned that they are not starting from scratch in terms of adding it as a recognized sport. The two lacrosse programs have had quite a bit of success in the last decade but were lacking the

administrative support and recognition that goes with being a varsity sport. He said that he believes it will be a good relationship between the sport and the school and will continue to elevate the sport over the years. “If you are involved with the program now, the changes are that the sport is now being administered out of the athletic office and through the school district,” Inskeep explained. “There will be some minor changes with scheduling without taking away the competitive balance that the teams need to be successful. The lacrosse athletes who have walked the halls wanting to be embraced as varsity athletes will have that going into this year. I am very happy that we’re at that point now and that we’ll go into the spring of 2018 with another sports offering for our boys and girls.”

simple | sincere | sweet

The boys’ and girls’ lacrosse teams will be competing with teams from area high schools, such as Noblesville, Fishers, HSE, Zionsville and Cathedral, to name a few. CCS Superintendent Dr. Nicholas D. Wahl shared his excitement about the addition of the lacrosse teams. “Let’s talk about it from a participation standpoint. It is Title IX compliant because it provides equal access and opportunity for both young female and male student athletes at CHS. The feeder program through the Carmel Dads’ Club is strong and sustainable.” The children who are participating in the club’s lacrosse programs now will be able to participate in the Carmel athletic program when they reach the high school level. “It’s exciting for the kids most importantly, but it is exciting for the community as parents look at their younger age students matriculating up through the Carmel Dad’s Club lacrosse program with the vision of being a CHS lacrosse player on the boys’ and girls’ teams, respectively,” said Dr. Wahl. “It is tremendously exciting.”
