Groceries for Good

Green Bean carves a unique direction for online grocery shopping – a personalized food subscription for socially-conscious people. Writer // Nate Greuel

ince 2007, the family-owned Green Bean has provided home-delivered organic produce and natural groceries with an emphasis on locally-sourced foods. Its mission has stayed the same since day one: Build food systems that make it easy for people to support local farmers, artisans and food communities. With over 10 years serving communities, Green Bean continues to refine its revolutionary service to align with its mission. It’s a compelling alternative to your weekly grocery store trips: Have your weekly kitchen staples home-delivered on a schedule from a store with amazing food. Busy families, new parents, discerning foodies, people with limited access to healthy food and small business supporters will appreciate the benefits of choosing to shop with Green Bean. Members create a personalized “GreenList” of items from the store to receive in regular orders. These recurring orders can be edited or canceled each week, and there are no commitments.

Some members shop for all of their groceries with Green Bean for maximum convenience and quality. Others simply use Green Bean to stock up on their essential items, making trips to the store less frequent. Values are central to the Green Bean store – all items (and their ingredients) adhere to a “Clean Store Promise.” You’ll find some of the best organic and local produce, farm-fresh dairy, humanely-raised meat, sustainable seafood and unique artisan foods available with no artificial ingredients. Where does “Groceries for Good” come in? For each order made, Green Bean donates a meal to a local food rescue. To date, Green Bean has donated over 1.1 million pounds of fresh produce to food banks, helping members to directly address food insecurity in their communities. Local food purchases directly support the makers and growers, leading to a more robust local food economy.

Writer // Janelle Morrison • Photography // JJ Kaplan

A 9-year-old Gary Dausch was introduced to the automotive world and racing by his grandmother who shared a family photo album containing the image of a truck that was covered in lettering. The truck had belonged to Dausch’s “Great-Uncle Cannonball.” Erwin “Cannonball” Baker won the very first race held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 1909. From this introduction, Dausch’s passion for automobiles and the art of creating them was conceived.

remember it [the picture book] well,” Dausch recalled. “There was a photo of the ‘Golden Submarine’ with Barney Oldfield. That was the piece that I was painting last year at the Hoosier Salon during last year’s Carmel Artomobilia. I just had to recreate some of that history, and it was such an interesting car.” Before launching his career as a fine art automotive artist, Dausch received his degree in education and taught art for a couple years before deciding that wasn’t where he really wanted to be. He took a job with a $60 million corporation starting out as an artist on a drawing board, and when he left, he had worked his way up to director of corporate communications. “I was building race cars in my spare time and had started my own company fabricating race car parts for other people, having the molds built for them,” Dausch said. “I was doing this part-time and was doing freelance work as well while I worked full-time for the corporation and was running all over the world. It was crazy.” Thirteen years later, Dausch went on to do some industrial design work with a local company but was fervently looking for an opportunity to work for a racing team. “I always thought that I needed to be working with a race team, mainly because I love the cars and the design, but I had been studying what was going on in Europe with Formula One (F1) regarding sponsorships and F1 teams. I wondered why IndyCars weren’t doing this. I saw an ad that Derrick Walker, Walker Racing, had for a marketing person. At the time, he was in Pennsylvania, and I didn’t want to move there, but I sent the application anyway to see what would happen. A couple of months went by, and suddenly, I get this phone call from Derrick. He says, ‘Are you still interested? Do you want to talk?’ and I said, ‘Well, yes.’ He told me he was moving his whole race operation to Indianapolis, and then that door opened.” As marketing director for Walker Racing, Dausch designed everything from

“The process is a lot like restoring a car for me, but they [the paintings] take up a whole lot less room.” sales materials and uniforms to race cars and business partnerships between car sponsors. “It was a very rare position for an IndyCar team to have a full-time artist on staff,” he explained. “I was very blessed to be able to do that.” In 2008, Dausch went into an early retirement after working with Walker Racing for 15 years. “I immediately began working on restoring three race cars, which kept me busy,” he said. “While I was with the [race] team, I had started doing the car art, just to commemorate some of the things that we had done. The guys thought the pieces were cool, so I started doing prints. When I left the team, I had enjoyed it, so I continued doing what I could never find the time to do before. That’s when I kind of rebuilt myself. I began doing automotive fine art, keeping a focus on what I really like, which are the portraits of the people and their cars. As part of that process, I invented my own way of doing things, and some of it is pulling on my experience of actually having built cars and then applying it to my paintings.” Dausch’s paintings will take an average of 100 hours as he applies a rigorous attention to detail in each of his paintings, aiming for accuracy down to very last fitting, rivet and screw. “I tend to put lots of detail into my paintings,” he admitted. “The process is a lot like restoring a car for me, but they [the paintings] take up a whole lot less room.” Limited edition prints are also available in Dausch’s work though limited

to only 50 as a way to keep some rarity to his work. “I try to create motion and the feeling that you are going to get run over by the car,” Dausch said. “I put you in places that you can’t typically go, like standing in front of a moving race car. That’s kind of the fun of what I do. Some of the fastest-looking cars I actually photographed in the garage areas. I take them and put them on the track with their proper driver.” Another notable relative of Dausch’s, his cousin Rosemary Browne-Beck had exhibited in the Hoosier Salon Exhibit for a number of years when she was actively painting. She was well known for her portrait work and still lives. “I wanted to be part of that exhibit, and I became involved with Hoosier

Salon as an organization after meeting Jim May, executive director at Hoosier Salon in Carmel, primarily so I could compete. I had not shown for years and did not have the time prior as I was doing other things. I got into the exhibit with a race car of all things. The exhibit is mostly portraits, still lives and landscapes and now one bright red Ferrari. That was great progress for me even to be accepted with those artists with the narrow niche that I run in. I’m already working on things for this next year’s exhibit.” Dausch has also recently completed a remarkable tribute piece depicting Dan Gurney’s 1963 Lotus 29 Ford with Jimmy Clark standing beside Team Lotus owner and founder of Lotus Cars, Colin Chapman, and both are looking down at Gurney seated in the race car. This piece brings back to life a fabulous piece of auto racing history. At some point, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway purchased Gurney’s Lotus with plans to restore it to look like it does in Dausch’s painting. “I look back at all of this, and I know that I’ve been blessed with this talent of a certain level,” Dausch said. “I keep trying to improve as it is something that God has given me, and it’s amazing how He opens doors in my life.” If you’re interested in meeting and speaking with Gary Dausch about his career and his artwork, he is planning to attend this year’s Carmel Artomobilia in August and will likely be hanging out at the Hoosier Salon, eager to share his remarkable stories.

Teens and Young Adults Writer // Janelle Morrison • Photography // Courtesy of IYSA

Be sure to join us for the Blind Pig Speakeasy Shindig benefitting Indiana Youth Services Association’s (IYSA) “Make Good Decisions” program. The Flapper-style event will be held June 14 at the Columbia Club in Indianapolis and is guaranteed to be the “bee’s knees.”

YSA membership is comprised of Youth Service Bureaus that deliver community-based juvenile delinquency and family support programming. IYSA’s current 32 members serve approximately 74 Hoosier counties. Youth Services Bureaus (YSB) serve vulnerable youth and families and offer programming that supports positive youth development, including four core roles: Juvenile Delinquency Prevention, Information and Referral Services, Community Education and Advocacy for Youth. The “Make Good Decisions” program is one of several IYSA youth-oriented programs. “Make Good Decisions” educates teens and young adults on the dangers of underage drinking and alcohol poisoning. Carmel residents Norm and Dawn Finbloom are spokespersons for “Make Good Decisions.” Their decision to get involved and advocate for IYSA’s “Make Good Decisions” and Indiana’s Lifeline Law that was expanded upon by Sen. Jim

Merritt during the 2014 legislative session came as a result of losing their son, Brett Finbloom, in 2012. Brett, a graduate of Carmel High School, passed away just a week before he was to begin college classes from alcohol poisoning. Recognizing that their son and his friends made bad decisions, Norm and Dawn decided to empower other teens and their families with life-saving knowledge, teaching about the warning signs of alcohol poisoning, the dangers of binge drinking, Indiana’s Lifeline Law and to basically “Make Good Decisions.” When asked what drives the couple to continue this ministry, Norm replied, “What drives us is that it sucks to have this happen. We don’t want it to happen to any other parent. That’s as simple as it is. There isn’t a day that doesn’t go by that you don’t think about your child, however you lose your child. It’s not good.” “I also see the tragedy for the friends that were there with Brett that night,” Dawn said.

“They didn’t want to lose their friend either. They just didn’t know enough. Our mission is really for kids and parents to know enough, so that it doesn’t happen.” Less than a month after Brett’s passing, the Finblooms were asked to speak to the student body at Cathedral High School. The principal implored them to share their story with the students in hopes that it would curb some dangerous behaviors that the administration was contending with at that time. The administrators were looking for impactful ways to address the problem head-on. “It [Brett’s death] was much publicized because it was within a month of the Lifeline Law being passed,” Dawn recalled. “Norm and I were contacted by the local news to talk about what had happened because they knew that our story was exactly the type of tragedy that the law was trying to avoid.” The Finblooms decided to speak publicly about their tragic story to as many

Carmel_2018_May_Blind_Pig event.indd 1

2018-04-25 3:11 PM

schools and colleges as possible and as often as they could. The feedback about IYSA’s “Make Good Decisions” program has been successful and cathartic to the Finblooms. Their son, Brett, has become a lifeline for all young people. “A few months after Brett passed away, we got a knock on our door early in the morning,” Norm said. “It was two parents who looked pretty disheveled. Their comments when we opened the door were, ‘We wanted to tell you that your son saved our daughter’s life.’ Their daughter, who was 15 at that time, had been drinking and drank too much with some older kids. One of the older kids made the call because of having heard about Brett and the ‘Make Good Decisions’ presentations. The parents told us that everything was going to be okay because their daughter had received medical treatment soon enough.” “When we hear the feedback and of these actual events that have happened, that tells us that the messages are getting through,” Norm stated. “Unfortunately, kids are always going to be kids, and some

kids will drink. There’s always going to be that curious mistake made. This [program] is about education and making the kids understand, first and foremost, that when they make that curious mistake and drink too much, somebody knows what to do.” As June approaches, the Finblooms look to the upcoming Blind Pig Speakeasy Shindig with bittersweet emotions but strongly advocate for people and sponsors to get involved and help the efforts being made by people who truly want young people to make good decisions and save lives. “I thought it [the theme] was cool for a couple of reasons,” Dawn shared. “One reason is because Brett loved ‘The Great Gatsby.’ That was one of his favorite books and because he was known on the soccer team for making this pig squeal. Lastly, regarding the bowtie on the pig

logo, Brett was known for sporting those. He got the ‘best dressed’ award at Carmel graduation.” IYSA is seeking additional sponsors for this incredible event. The event’s title sponsor shared this statement as to why they chose to be involved: “Jive/LogMeIn chose the Indiana Youth Services Association (IYSA) in conjunction with TruWerks to assist in supporting youth and families in the great state of Indiana. The educational programs and materials presented to both high school and college-age students help them incorporate the ‘Make Good Decisions’ message into their daily lives. We are proud to be a part of it.” Please consider contributing to this powerful message and program by being a sponsor and/or purchasing tickets for this shindig.

I had a regular tune-up with Airtron and John was my service provider. He was great to work with. John helped me to understand the more technical aspects of my heating system. He took the time to look at my unit together with me and discuss options for managing my filtration system. His attention to those details and meeting me, the customer, halfway definitely made a difference. - Margaret C.

I have been using Airtron for four years since we moved here. I have found them to be prompt, courteous and competent. They serviced our old unit and installed a humidifier. When the 20+ year old furnace finally gave out, they sold and installed a new furnace and AC. Their maintenance service also is excellent. The service people are efficient and clearly know what they are doing. I have had nothing but positive experiences with Airtron. - Marcia

Celebrating World-Class Training and Talent Writer // Janelle Morrison • Photography // Courtesy of Indiana Ballet Conservatory

Join the Indiana Ballet Conservatory (IBC) this May for the annual Spring Showcase on Sunday, May 20. IBC’s youngest dancers will present charming fairytale dances with new original choreography while upper-level dancers will perform some of their award-winning works from international ballet competitions. The showcase will highlight the arduous training that IBC’s dancers and award-winning instructors have been focusing on over this past year. IBC offers one of the strongest pre-professional training programs in the Midwest and is one of the most respected conservatories in the nation. IBC produces talented students, such as award-winning IBC pre-professionals Quinn Starner and Alexandra Manuel. Starner spoke about the importance of the local community’s support of

IBC and its students. “Ballet wouldn’t be ballet without people coming to see it,” she said. “When we are performing our showcases, I think that they [the audience] see the strength and dedication that we show on stage. We hope that young kids see that if they work hard every day, they can pursue their dreams.” “Everybody here motivates me and is always working hard,” Manuel expressed. “We all try to motivate each other and work hard every day as we’re preparing for the Spring Showcase and Jackson.” Manuel will be competing, along with Starner, in the prestigious USA Ballet International Ballet Competition held in Jackson, Mississippi, in June. Manuel continued, “These competitions are very important, especially at the age that I am now because you can be seen by directors from major dance

companies that can help you later in your professional dance career.” IBC provides its students with opportunities and world-class training that are unique to this conservatory. Several of IBC’s students have come to Carmel from other states for the opportunity to train year-round with IBC’s founding artistic director, Alyona Yakovleva-Randall, and her renowned colleagues. “We have a very important showcase this year,” Yakovleva-Randall emphasized. “We are representing what we have been working on for the last year, almost every single day for many hours.” Purchase your tickets for IBC’s Spring Showcase and enjoy an exciting glimpse at the future stars of ballet as they perform a unique variety of classical, contemporary and character repertoire. Tickets available at indianaballetconservatory.org.

Zionsville Eyecare A Zionsville tradition since 1980, Zionsville Eyecare is an independent optometry practice that provides the highest quality service for the whole family, delivered by a friendly staff. Our team of Drs. James Haines, Nicholas Garn, Ami Fraser, Julia Blank and Matthew Clark

take pride in serving patients with the best in vision care. We provide comprehensive adult and pediatric eye exams, along with all the latest contact lens technologies. We also evaluate and manage dry-eye, remove foreign bodies, treat eye injuries and conduct annual diabetic exams. Plus, we co-manage for LASIK, cataract surgery and other procedures. Our doctors can help you manage eye allergy symptoms to improve your comfort throughout the spring and summer. If you or your children play sports or spend time on the water, UV protection is important. It protects your eyes with the help of polarized lens sunglasses that block sunlight reflecting from surfaces, such as a flat road or smooth water. If you engage in water sports, golfing, biking, fishing or even driving, polarized lenses can help to reduce glare and provide you with a clearer view. We also carry glasses designed specifically

for use when playing sports that can prevent a number of eye injuries, including abrasions, fractured bones and retinal detachments. We also carry designer frames from top designers, such as Ray-Ban, Kate Spade, Barton Perreira, Modo, Coach, Burberry, Lafont, Etnia Barcelona and more. And, when selecting eyewear, you don’t need an appointment. In many cases, you can receive your new glasses the same day. At Zionsville Eyecare, we’re known for supporting the community through partnering with local, regional and national organizations by donating volunteer time, efforts and/or financial support. If you’re a new patient, visit our website, zeyecare.com, to register. You can contact our office by phone at 317-873-3000 or email at info@zeyecare. com. And, to better accommodate our expanding services, we’ll be moving to a larger building in Zionsville in 2019.

Looking for a Unique Experience in Eye Care? RevolutionEYES thinks outside-the-box! When he was in his 3rd year of Optometry school, Dr. Jeremy Ciano envisioned a revolutionary new concept that would provide his patients with high-end customer service and exclusively unique products, while featuring the latest in modern medical technology. In 2007, that dream became a reality, when RevolutionEYES opened in Clay Terrace. Fast-forwarding 10 years, RevolutionEYES has blossomed into a 6 day/week, 3 doctor practice highlighted by the additions of Dr. Katherine Schuetz and Dr. Hannah Downey to the medical team. When Dr. Ciano refers to the latest and greatest in medical technology, the quintessential example is the use of digital retinal scans to replace dilation of the eyes. Dilating the eyes impairs vision and causes light sensitivity for most of the day. Very few patients

are happy having this medically important procedure done. However, at RevolutionEYES, the doctors use digital retinal scans, in lieu of dilation, to view the inner workings of the eyes without the dramatically uncomfortable effects of dilation drops. During the scan, the Doctors will look for signs of glaucoma, tumors, MS, diabetes, macular degeneration, hypertension, and thyroid conditions, just to name a few. Dr. Ciano emphasizes to his patients that quality eye care is more than just seeing well. He says, “If the inside of your eyes aren’t healthy, then it doesn’t matter what’s going on visually.” An experience at RevolutionEyes reveals to patients that high tech medical eye care is complemented with an inviting optical dispensary that offers an array of fashion-forward frames with exclusive international selections. Unique to RevolutionEYES, patients can achieve an individualized look that they simply won’t find anywhere else. Their frame lines are more than just functional or simple fashion; they are individualized affordable luxury items that excite the patients when they wear them with chic flair and confidence.

The next level of customized fashion is found exclusively at RevolutionEYES. With the store’s newest innovation, Bespoke, patients can even custom-design their own frames! It’s a design center that doesn’t exist anywhere else in the country, and highlights patients’ unlimited creativity. “Patients can come in and custom-design their own face jewelry,” according to Dr. Ciano. Materials, such as wood, metals, plastics, all in an infinite array of colors, shapes, and sizes give the patient an unlimited opportunity to express themselves. Bespoke has high appeal to the very artistic and creative folks who want individualized & customized eyewear that fits their unique personalities. When you walk into RevolutionEYES you instantly become part of their family and are welcomed with open arms. Their well trained and tenured staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and commission free. Eyewear at RevolutionEYES appeals to a wide array of styles, fashion and budgets. Eye glasses start in the $200s and go up to $2,000, depending on the patient’s preference, needs, and creativity. Check out RevolutionEyes at www.Revolution-EYES.com or call 317-844-2020.

THE PALLADIUM PRESENTS:

STRAIGHT NO CHASER

Writer // Janelle Morrison • Photography // Courtesy of The Center for the Performing Arts

Straight No Chaser is coming to The Palladium for the first time on Friday, June 1. Founded at Indiana University, Straight No Chaser has become one of the world’s top all-male a cappella groups with a massive fan base, numerous national TV appearances and a series of successful CD releases. When these nine unadulterated human voices come together, they make extraordinary music that moves people in a fundamental sense – and with a sense of humor. On their latest release, “Six Pack: Volume 3,” the group puts its stamp on rock classics as well as contemporary pop hits, including “Sweet Dreams/ HandClap” (a mashup of the Eurythmics and Fitz and the Tantrums) and a show-stopping “Beyonce Medley.”

andy Stine produced Straight No Chaser’s “Live at the Musical Arts Center” on DVD in 2006. Clips from the DVD, posted on YouTube, received over eight million views, sparking the group to reunite and sign a deal with Atlantic Records. Stine graciously accepted our request for an interview while touring and shared some behindthe-scenes stories about the group and the journey that led to their current success. Don’t miss this opportunity to see Straight No Chaser at The Palladium on June 1 at 8 p.m. Visit thecenterfortheperformingarts.org for more information.

PALLADIUM: JUNE 1 AT 8 P.M. Traveling back to 1996, what were the driving factors that led to the formation of Straight No Chaser? Originally, all members of the group were part of Singing Hoosiers down at Indiana University in Bloomington. We were enjoying what we were doing with most of us as music majors, but we had an inkling to do some music that wasn’t just a part of the show choir repertoire. We thought if we got together and rehearsed outside of the group and put together a few songs of our own, we could stop in at the sororities and sing for the girls and for some free food. All kidding aside, you guys began garnering the support of the campus and booked some decent gigs while you were attending IU, such as…? We were lucky enough to perform on campus anywhere that would have us. Our first performance was at IU’s Dance Marathon in November of 1996. We started performing at IU Mom’s and Parents weekends and events like that. Basically, we’d perform at any philanthropic event that would have us. Your dad was the one who gave you guys a nudge to expand your performance base. While most parents might be hesitative to support their son or daughter’s potential music career, he encouraged you how? My dad from the start was kind of like, “Yeah, you’re in a singing group. That’s great, but how’s the GPA?” He came down [to Bloomington] and stood in the back of the room while we did a performance at a sorority house. Afterward, he said we could probably do this as our summer job and should come up to Chicago. So, we moved up to Chicago for the summers of ‘97 and ‘98 and performed. We sent out our demo cassettes – that’s what we had at the time and flyers about our group. We sang the National Anthem for the Chicago White Sox and Chicago Cubs and did shows in downtown Chicago, anywhere that would have us. That expanded our performing base expediently. We also performed for private parties and events at country clubs. We also worked a wide range of jobs while we were performing. But that’s

We all thought around because even if we could get to that it would be great if we could all come the destination, it wasn’t safe for people back in 20 years and see a Straight No to come out to the show. Early on, we had Chaser concert on the campus of IU. We more aged tour buses that had mechanical had all of that in place when we graduated, failures.

Writer // Janelle Morrison • Photography // Jennifer Hershberger

What began as merely a suggestion more than 20 years ago has become significantly more than just an annual event. The Carmel Farmers Market is a beloved tradition that best represents the ideals – live, work and play – in the heart of Carmel.

he Carmel Farmers Market is produced and managed by “community-minded” volunteers and is headed up by an equally dedicated leadership team led by the market’s president, Ron Carter, and vice president, Deborah Schmitz. We sat down with Carter and Schmitz to reflect back over the last two decades and recall the genesis of the market.

The Early Days The market formally organized and opened its first season in May 1998. Carter, who had been elected to city council in 1996, had received a telephone call from a local resident and journalist who worked for the IndyStar. She had charged Carter with the task of starting a farmers market and pledged to write an article calling for volunteers to assist

CARMEL MONTHLY

with the efforts. Carter, who had no previous knowledge of starting, let alone running, a farmers market was going to embark on a journey that would result in managing one the largest farmers markets in the Midwest. “The reporter said she’d write an article, and so she did,” Carter recalled. “The article was about the need for volunteers to start a farmers market in Carmel. Conse-

The Volunteers and Vendors

quently, we got six people to show up for an organizational meeting. Among those six people was Jim Keckly. Keckly was a retired banker whose wife had passed away, and he thought it would be kind of fun. Fast forward, we have another meeting, and admittedly, none of us know anything about starting a farmers market. It was the pre-website era, so I cast around for some resources and made some calls. I called Purdue University, and they referred me to a professor at Michigan State who had written a book just so happened [to be] titled, “How to Start a Farmers Market.” Carter said the book was available as a three-ring binder and was available for $15 per copy. He went to Mayor Brainard and asked if the city could spare $115 to get 10 copies of this book. “He [the mayor] was very supportive,” Carter said. “We each read the book and said, ‘We can do this.’ The meeting after that, we got organized and asked which of us was going to be the chairperson. It was one of those typical meetings where no one really stepped forward, and there was that awkward silence. Finally, Jim Keckly said, ‘I guess I could do it.’ We were extremely fortunate, and it really was a godsend that he agreed. Jim had mentioned in the first meeting that he had been in the banking business. He started out at the old Fletcher Trust Company and retired 44 years later as the executive vice president of Bank One. We really didn’t know what we were getting

in the way of this excellent executive and outstanding volunteer.” Carter continued, “He really got us off and running and was a really great first president of this market. Every Saturday, he would be the first one there. It didn’t matter how hot or cool it was. He was there, and he always had a dozen donuts for his committee. That’s why we have ‘Jim Keckly Donut Day’ to open the market each year so as to honor his memory.” The market began with eight full-time vendors and opened its first season in the south parking lot of Carmel’s City Hall. The next year, the market grew to 16 vendors and to 32 the year after that. By the fifth year, the market had grown to 48 fulltime vendors and was at max capacity. “We modeled our structure by what a market in Minneapolis, Minnesota, does,” Carter explained. “That market has a ‘friends’ group and an operating market group. The Carmel Farmers Market is an Indiana not-for-profit corporation. We have a second corporation called the Friends of Carmel Farmers Market, which is a 501(c)(4). As I say, the City has always been supportive, but we don’t take any dollars from the City. They help us in other ways. One of those ways was to make sure that when the Center Green was being built, we were able to get that designed, so that the area would accommodate the market and other events that might possibly take place there. We have one of the finest market venues of any in the country.”

CARMEL MONTHLY

Carmel_2018_May_Carmel Farmers Market.indd 2

Upon the completion of the Center Green, the Carmel Farmers Market was eager to call the venue its home. Each vendor space has electricity, and the venue allows for ample configuration of vendor spaces. “We act like an apartment development,” Carter said. “If a vendor wants a 3-bedroom or 2-bedroom, we’ve got it. If they only want a 1-bedroom, we’ve got it. If a vendor doesn’t need a large 20x40 space, we offer a 20x20 space, and it has worked out very well for us and the vendors.” While a market can’t function without quality vendors, the volunteers are the heart and soul. Carter and Schmitz spoke about how valuable the market’s volunteer core is to the success of the market. “The market couldn’t happen without its group of really dedicated volunteers,” Carter emphasized. “We [the volunteers] have fun together and do things socially outside of the market. We have a herd of amazing volunteers who work very hard to make sure the market runs.” Schmitz added, “You have to put your heart into it. We as volunteers put our hearts into it every Saturday.” The market will have 67 vendors this season, some of whom have been a part of the market since its inception. “We’ve been very loyal to our vendors,” Carter said. “We expect our vendors to be with us every Saturday, so that our guests can expect to see the same vendors every week.” The Carmel Farmers Market is an Indiana grown or produced market. The products have to be grown or produced in-state unless it’s something that can’t be grown in Indiana like coffee and salmon. The purveyors themselves must be Indiana-based.

MAY 2018

“We have a vendor relations committee that is headed up by Deborah [Schmitz],” Carter stressed. “We pay their mileage expenses to travel around the state and visit our vendors to make sure that what they are planting or producing is what they will be selling at the market. That’s one of the volunteer benefits – there are some really good meals that come out of these visits sometimes.” Schmitz added, “Our vendors enjoy it [the visit] so much, and they often ask us, ‘When are you going to come back out again?’ They are excited to show us how they’ve grown.” “I’ve always said it’s the most expensive committee that I’ve ever worked on,” Carter jested. “The reason is that you’re there almost every Saturday morning from 6 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. if you work a full shift, and you’re exposed to all of this wonderful food and product.”

The Market Culture “It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy that more and more people have moved to Carmel for the amenities that we have, and the amenities have matured and grown along with the population of the city,” Carter observed. “We try to do the best job with the market and provide a really good value and experience for the people coming to the market, not only from the food standpoint but from a fun standpoint with the music, the venue and the volunteers.” The market is one of the city’s major attractions and social events throughout the season, attracting an average of 4,000 people during its hours of operation each Saturday. Many market-goers bike to the market as well. The venue’s designated bicycle parking has made cyclists feel like a welcomed addition to the market crowd. Many “special events” take place each month throughout the market season, including the Firehouse Cook-off where Carmel Fire Department’s six stations compete in a cook-off against one another for the winning title and bragging rights. The Carmel Police Department hosts a day advocating and recruiting for its Citizens Academy. The market’s title sponsor, IU Health, hosts a health screening day, and Purdue University, a silver sponsor, has “Purdue Day” at the market. New this year on May 19, the market will host the “Big Green Egg Fest” presented by Omalia’s Living from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Local chefs and grilling enthusiasts will exhibit their Big Green Egg expertise. “This [the market] is a quintessential third place,” Carter concluded. “We’ve lost so many third places throughout our country. In eastern seaboard cities, third places were the local neighborhood taverns where everybody was equal, and people could sit down and talk. Everyone’s opinion was valued, and it was a place of social gathering. We don’t have many of those for the most part anymore, but this [the market] we do have, and it is a big third place.”

lthough the season ended with an upset as the Lady Greyhounds lost a valiant game to the Zionsville Eagles 54-49 at regional semifinals, the CHS Girls basketball program is celebrating the phenomenal season and high school careers of its point guard, Amy Dilk, and guard, Tomi Taiwo, who have each respectively put CHS on the national map. The dynamic duo appeared, along with their teammates, and won Carmel Girls basketball’s first Hall of Fame Classic, ironically, against Zionsville. As the two prepare to play on the Indiana All-Star team and play against Kentucky in June, they are also preparing for the Big Ten scene.

AMY DILK Senior point guard Dilk has had an exhilarating season throughout her final year of high school basketball. In addition to being selected to play for the All-Star team, she was named the Indiana Gatorade 2017-18 Girls Basketball Player of the Year. She will graduate as one of the program’s most distinguished players in its history with 105 games played, 1,404 points, 548 assists and 344 steals as a Greyhound. Dilk has signed on with the University of Michigan and will begin her Big Ten career as a Wolverine. She has not yet declared a major. When asked what goes through her mind when reflecting on the last four years, she replied, “It’s a lot to look back on. When the season ended, that’s when I really started reflecting on my four years here [at Carmel]. I’ve had so much growth physically and mentally.” As seasons go, there were highs and lows that included an incident where Dilk

TOMI TAIWO Senior guard Taiwo has had an impressive high school career of her own. Taiwo came to CHS her junior year and finished her high school basketball career with 54 games played, 822 points, 82 assists and 114 steals. Also preparing for the upcoming All-Star game, Taiwo is looking forward to playing with the girls that she has played against, all for the chance to play against, and hopefully, beat Kentucky. Taiwo has also signed with a Big Ten university and will join the Iowa Hawkeyes. In addition to focusing on her on-court skills, Taiwo will be studying pre-med and biology. Taiwo shared her personal journey as she reflected over the last four years and shared her optimism for the next four years that have yet to come. “It has been a fun journey,” she said. “I began high school in Minnesota my freshman year and was at Homestead my sophomore year. I came to Carmel my junior year. I’d say it was for the better because the other schools were smaller and didn’t have as much to offer, basketball and academic-wise. Coming to Carmel helped me to adjust to how big life actually is and has prepared me for college too.” Taiwo spoke thoughtfully about her team and what working alongside her teammates has meant to her. She is looking forward to working with her collegiate team and to the experiences that await her in Iowa. “We [the team] had goals that we set at the beginning of the school year, and we’d check them off when we obtained them,” Taiwo said. “It’s been a journey with these girls. They’re all great young ladies, and I’ve had fun mentoring them and being a role model for them, but they’ve also helped me learn a lot of lessons.” Taiwo continued, “I’ve already been on campus a couple of times now. I really feel at home with the team. My coaches are like motherly figures, and they’re really nice, so I am just excited. I’m also preparing for the All-Star game by working out a couple of times a week with my trainer, and I also go to Shoot 360 and work with them as well. I’m working on my fitness and on getting my stamina up.” Both Dilk and Taiwo expressed their gratitude and pride to be able to represent CHS at the All-Star game and shared what it means to them to have fans, in particular the younger girls, cheering them on as they continue on their respective paths. “It’s an honor to play with the best girls in Indiana,” Taiwo said. “It’s fun to see that we have little girls looking up to us. We see their smiles and how they look up to us, and it’s just a great feeling. Dilk concluded, “I think the best thing that we can do is to go in there and represent Carmel as well as we can, knowing that there’s so many younger girls and spectators watching us. It’s our last chance to represent Carmel.”

dislocated a knee that had undergone a previous surgery. It went back into place, but the incident caused immediate concern and obvious major discomfort. Luckily, Dilk recovered swiftly. Dilk attributes her support system for her ability to bounce back from low points. “It was my team and trainers who went the extra mile for me and the support from my coaches and family that helped me stay focused,” Dilk emphasized. “I didn’t focus on the negatives but looked only at the positives.” In regards to the Gatorade nomination, she spoke with humility and once again credited her support system for their ongoing support. “It’s [the nomination] a great honor, but I couldn’t have done it without my outside support system,” she said. “It just kind of shows all the hard work that has paid off with these awards that Tomi and I are getting. As a player, it is so special. You put in all these hours and time, and to have some type of recognition is a big honor.” Dilk is looking forward to joining her new teammates up in Michigan this summer. “I have met my teammates, and I have great role models there that I’m going to be looking up to,” Dilk said. “I know that they’re going to help me get through all of the freshman challenges. I’m looking forward to getting myself stronger and to working with the coaches, getting ready for the Big Ten.”

“The Little Mermaid” musical: Coming to CHS May 10-12 Writer // Janelle Morrison • Photography // JJ Kaplan

Coming to the Dale E. Graham Auditorium this May, Carmel High School Performing Arts Department presents its spring musical, “The Little Mermaid.” In this adaptation of Disney’s 2008 Broadway production, CHS’ very own talented cast, crew and orchestra will be led by director Sam Chenoweth.

his show features the hit songs “Part of Your World” and Oscar-winning “Under the Sea.” Chenoweth explained that this production will have a contemporary spin on the classic, family-friendly version of “The Little Mermaid” and the Broadway musical. The cast and crew are putting their own twist on the tale of Ariel, Prince Eric, Ursula, Sebastian, Triton and all their underwater friends. This production is guaranteed to make a splash! CHS’ production team is comprised of over 100 talented and dedicated students that will take on the daunting task of putting on a challenging musical like “The Little Mermaid.” Many of the same cast, crew and orchestra members mesmerized audiences and defied the bewildering task of producing “The Phantom of the Opera” last year. They made it look seemingly effortless while giving the audiences a first-class, “Broadway-like” experience. The cast and crew’s challenge for this

year’s musical will be to create an underwater experience that will have audiences imagining that the cast is performing deep below the ocean’s surface. How does one emulate the balletic movements of a fish while on a stage? Luckily, many of the cast members are more than proficient at such modern inventions like hoverboards, RipStiks, rollerblades and other contraptions that create the illusion of “swimming” throughout the show. A recent graduate of Ball State University, Chenoweth is directing his first CHS musical but has had much experience with theatre and choreography. “Obviously, our goal is to sell tickets,” Chenoweth said. “But we wanted to switch it up and do something different this year. It’s been awhile since

Carmel has done a ‘kids’ show,’ and we wanted to go the family-friendly route. Additionally, we had the right cast and talent for this particular production. We’ve got a lot of talented kids here.” Chenoweth explained some of the ways that this production will differ from the classic animated movie and Broadway production. “We are using the original Broadway score, though we’ve made some little edits as we’ve needed to,” he stated. “We did some opposite gender casting. Flounder is typically a young child or a boy that has a super high tenor range, and we went the female direction. Scuttle is also played by a female in our production, and that role is traditionally played

by a male in the original show.” Several of the cast, crew and pit members were part of last year’s spring musical, “The Phantom of the Opera,” including lead actor Ben Heber who portrayed “Raoul.” This year, Heber (senior) is playing the lead role of “Prince Eric,” opposite of lead actress Sydney Greene (junior) as “Ariel.” “This is my fourth year doing Carmel musicals,” Heber said. “This show is not as complex as ‘Phantom’ was, but this is cool because every year, I’ve gotten the chance to move up a little bit in my roles. Last year, I was more of a secondary character, and this year, I am more of a lead, and that’s quite a fulfilling experience to be able to move up. It’s been a real fun rehearsal process for this show because vocally, it’s challenged me in a lot of ways that I’ve not been challenged before. Even playing ‘Raoul’ last year was not as vocally acrobatic as ‘Prince Eric’ has been this year. It’s pushed me outside of my comfort zone, and also, I fly during this show.” Greene has been dancing since she was 3 years old and performed in her first musical in the fifth grade. “I’ve researched the Broadway clips and have watched Sierra Boggess, who is ‘Ariel’ on Broadway,” Greene said. “She [‘Ariel’] is my favorite Disney princess. She’s a mermaid under the sea, and that makes her special. I am definitely bringing a lot of myself into the character. I feel that I can relate to ‘Ariel’ in many ways. She’s a young girl who’s wanting more, and I’m a junior who feels like I’m ready to leave the high school ‘bubble.’ And that’s where I dig deep into the character.”

The role of “Sebastian,” Ariel’s guardian and companion, is played by CHS freshman Jack Ducat. “I love the show. It’s a super fun show,” Ducat exclaimed. “I just auditioned for the show, and as a freshman, I wasn’t really expecting anything to happen, but I got this role, and I was super psyched. I think that ‘Sebastian’ is looked at as kind of an uptight character. But what I really love bringing out is his fun-loving side where he lets go and has fun. That is one thing about this role that I really connect with. ‘Sebastian’ cares about ‘Ariel’ but also works for ‘Triton,’ so he also feels obliged to protect her. That’s what makes his job two-sided.” The skittish, yet fun-loving character, “Flounder,” is played by Jenna MacNulty (junior). “Overall, ‘Flounder’ is an energetic character, so I have to bring that energy into the role,” MacNulty said. “He is also super scared of everything that happens around him, and he follows ‘Ariel’ everywhere – she’s kind of his safety blanket. I’m taking everything that I’ve learned from the movie and the Broadway musical and bringing it into this character.” The formidable king of Atlantica and “Ariel’s” overprotective father, “Triton,” is played by Cameron Grove (senior) who portrayed “Don Attilio” in the “Il Muto” scenes in last year’s CHS production of “The Phantom of the Opera.” “As the king, ‘Triton’ exerts this powerful side that I love,” Grove said. “But there is a sensitive side to him where he loves his daughters, especially ‘Ariel,’ and so it’s a very contrasting role. I get

to perform both extremes. The challenge of this role is carrying around a trident the entire show. It’s just extra weight that I’m carrying while on a hoverboard that I’ve had to learn to use effectively. It’s much different than any other production that I’ve been in.” The show’s infamous villain, “Ursula” is played by Laney McNamar (junior), also a veteran performer at CHS who was part of the dance ensemble in last year’s “Phantom.” “I’m really excited to be playing ‘Ursula’ in ‘The Little Mermaid’ this year,” she said. “She [‘Ursula’] has always been my favorite Disney villain. She has such a little sassy attitude that none of the other Disney villains really have, and her personality is so fun to portray on stage. She has so many dimensions and quirks that I love. I will be playing ‘Ursula’ from about six feet from the stage, and there are four people ‘playing’ my tentacles and two more people helping to move me around on the stage. What I hope that the audiences take away from this production is happiness and joy. ‘The Little Mermaid’ is really a nostalgic story for many generations.”

A Treasure from

“Sullivan’s Island” is coming to Carmel

Writer // Janelle Morrison • Photography // Courtesy of Carmel Clay Public Library

Best-selling author, public speaker and nonprofit fundraiser Dorothea “Dottie” Benton Frank is coming to Carmel on Friday, June 8 as part of the Carmel Clay Public Library’s “Visiting Author Series.”

rank debuted on The New York Times Best Sellers list at number nine with her first novel, “Sullivan’s Island” (Berkley Publishing 2000) that has over one million copies in print and has been published in 10 foreign languages. Subsequently, several of her novels were NY Times best-sellers and/or can also be found in various languages. Her 19th novel, “By Invitation Only,” will be released May 15. Born and raised on Sullivan’s Island, South Carolina, Frank’s affinity for the Lowcountry of South Carolina was fostered while growing up in the family’s nearly century-old house along with her four siblings. She graduated from The Fashion Institute of America in 1972. For a short period, she lived in Atlanta and was employed in the Atlanta Apparel Mart by College Town Sportswear. She returned to Charleston, SC, in 1973 and became a buyer for Kerrison’s Department Store. In 1974, she was hired by Byer California and

moved to San Francisco. A year later, she moved to New York City and went to work on Seventh Avenue for Fire Islander Sportswear, Heralcorp Industries and Michael Lerner before retiring in 1985. She married Peter Richard Frank in 1983, and the couple moved to Montclair, NJ, in 1985 where they raised their two children, Victoria and William. Frank was in her 40s when her mother suddenly passed away. Her mother’s house became a point of contention between Frank and her husband. “I asked my husband to please buy my mother’s house on Sullivan’s Island,” Frank recalled. “He [Peter] said to me, ‘If you think that I’m going to spend the rest of my life there listening to your crazy relatives tell the same stories over and over again, I’m not doing it.’ I said ‘Okay,’ and I decided to figure out how to buy it [the house] myself. I saw a book that was written by a popular writer, and I thought to myself, ‘What does she got that I don’t have?’ So, I bought this book and read it in about three hours, and I thought that I could write something like this in 30 days probably. It took two years. I had never tried to write a novel before. I wrote this draft of “Sullivan’s Island,”

which eventually found its way into the hands of a publisher, and it sold over a million copies.” Suddenly, Frank had a new career. “I was like, ‘Wow, this feels good,’” she exclaimed. “One of the larger mistakes that I made earlier in my life was that I didn’t have my own money. My advice

to women is to always have your own money.” Turning her grief over the loss of her mother into a quasi-autobiographical novel, “Sullivan’s Island”

launched Frank’s professional writing career and gave her the means to buy her mother’s house in which she has written and continues to write her novels. She is currently working on two children’s books with her daughter, Victoria, in addition to her other projects and her volunteerism. Frank has said, “Secretly, everybody wants to be southern.” Why? “The weather is better, and there is more sunshine in the South,” she said. “You get outdoors more often, and you live healthier – once you get past the barbeque and fried okra.” Her novels depict life in the Lowcountry but are humorous, contemporary and relatable to practically everybody who reads them. “Inspiration comes from everywhere,” Frank shared. “My first book was born out of frustration, no doubt about it. I want my books to entertain and inform, and I want somebody to be glad that they spent the time reading it. So I try to write a satisfying story about something that’s important in all our lives and is contemporary. I don’t think people read my books to get lost in them so much as they read my books to find themselves in them.” To purchase tickets to see Dorothea “Dottie” Benton Frank on Friday, June 8, visit carmel.lib. in.us/foundation/tickets.cfm or call 317-8143984.
