Kite Day Z i o n s v i l l e

T r a d i t i o n

Writer // Janelle Morrison • Photography // JJ Kaplan

L-R: Gerry Stevenson, Sarah Webler, Bill Moore, and Tania Roudebush

ast month, kite flyers celebrated national “Kite Day” and with the efforts of a few community-minded individuals, Kite Day in Zionsville celebrated its sixth annual gathering of kite aficionados and novice flyers of all ages. The event was held at the Boys and Girls Club of Zionsville-West Club. The sky was painted with the colors and shapes of the various home-made and store-bought kites. The founding members of Kite Day; Tania Roudebush, Gerry Stevenson, and Bill Moore, have been excited to see the family-friendly event grow over the years and continue to benefit the Boys and Girls Clubs of Zionsville (BGCZ). Roudebush is the owner of Black Dog Books in downtown Zionsville. She remembers living in Massachusetts and observing families flying kites on the hills surrounding her son’s school. After a casual conversation with her friend, Stevenson, the pair devised hosting a day of kite flying in Zionsville but wanted to give it an additional purpose to benefit the community. Stevenson, a retired financial advisor and “professional” volunteer, discussed

the idea with Glenn Sanford, unit director of BGCZ-East Club who promptly connected the duo with Moore. The three quickly organized the first Kite Day that was held at Mulberry Fields in Zionsville. “Gerry and I were sitting here at Black Dog Books, and I was telling him about Kite Day in Massachusetts and how it would be fun to do this in Zionsville. Without hesitation, he said, ‘Let’s do it’,” Roudebush recalled. “He immediately suggested that the event should have a purpose, and that’s when he visited with the Boys and Girls Club, and we connected with Bill.” Stevenson said that they did not know what to expect the first year but were pleasantly surprised when the event attracted approximately 70 attendees and a positive response. “It was great to see families bring picnic baskets and let time pass for a little while,” Stevenson said. “Kite Day creates a sense of coming together as a community and doing something that is outdoors. The kids from the BGCZ make posters to promote the event that go into the stores and businesses throughout the Zionsville Community.”

ZIONSVILLE MONTHLY

According to Roudebush, the event continues to grow in attendance. “We’re seeing an average upwards of 200 participants,” she said. “Kite Day is fun to watch, but it’s more fun to fly the kites, and I think it’s a beautiful event. We see a lot of families who are members of the BGCZ attend, but it is open to the entire community, and we see people from all over Zionsville.” The third member of the founding trio, Bill Moore, art and acting coordinator for BGCZ, brings his boom box and helps with the logistics and collections for the clubs. “I look forward to Kite Day every year,” Moore said enthusiastically. “I call Tania the ‘kite lady’ because she planted the seed and everything has grown from her sharing the idea of organizing Kite Day. I always say that nothing happens until you get excited, and I’m excited for next year’s Kite Day.” The unit director for the BGCZ-West Club, Sarah Webler, said that the BGCZ-West Club location is a logical place to host the event and looks forward to hosting it again next April. “It is a great opportunity for the community to see one of the two facilities and our programs that are offered with a membership at the BGCZ,” Webler said. “When we had it at Mulberry Fields, I would go and just thought the event was very cool. So when they approached me and asked if we could host it at the West Club because we have the open space, I was really excited. It brings a lot of people to our club. I think the event is wonderful. It couldn’t be more perfect. Hopefully, we’ll just continue to grow the event. The proceeds go straight to the clubs and help with our programming and our Before and After school programs, sports leagues and summer camps, which are coming up.” The last Sunday of April is the designated event date for Kite Day in Zionsville. Mark your calendars for next year’s event and look for the banners that are posted along Main Street in advance. Stevenson concluded, “Kite Day is for everybody. We’ve had four generations flying their kites at this event, and that’s pretty amazing. It is not competitive and nobody sits on the bench in kite flying.”

Salvador Dali A Rare Opportunity to View an Original Collection by

is Coming to Zionsville Writer // Janelle Morrison

Behind the familiar surrealistic paintings of melted timepieces and the fantastic etchings of Salvador Dali are tales of a fascinating man and celebrated artist. This month a rare and private collection of Dali’s art, known as the Dali Argillet Collection, is coming to Zionsville.

ccompanying the collection is one of its curators who happens to have been a longtime friend of Dali’s, Madame Christine Argillet. Not only will Argillet be sharing her amazing collection of Dali’s art, but also her unique stories and perspectives about a man and his art she knew well since she was a child. Her memories will bring Dali’s art to life for attendees of this spectacular exhibit. Argillet has been touring across North America with this collection that she inherited from her father, Pierre Argillet, an accomplished journalist, photographer, and publisher of Dali’s for more than three decades. This museum-quality pre-

sentation of original etchings, Aubusson tapestries and original watercolors has also toured in galleries around the world, including a recent show in Singapore. The collection’s next stop will be at CV Art and Frame in downtown Zionsville. Excited to share this renowned collection with her clients and local art enthusiasts, the owner of CV Art and Frame, Barbara Jennings, spoke about what it means to exhibit such an extraordinary collection of art in her gallery. “After spending over 30 years in the art business, beginning with bringing a distinctive level of quality, custom framing to Zionsville, it is rewarding to become recognized for the phenomenal level of

2017-04-21 10:36 AM

artwork that we are now presenting,” Jennings said. “I have always enjoyed being able to provide artwork by today’s most talented artists to our clients, but to be able to give art collectors the ability to acquire truly authentic, original works by master artists is deeply satisfying. I am enthused to meet and spend time with Salvador Dali’s close friend and confidante, Madame Argillet, who will be curating this upcoming show with us. And what a bonus to also be able to offer works by the other Spanish Masters Picasso and Miro.” We were granted an exclusive interview with Argillet where she shared the intimate history of her father’s relationship with Dali as well as her own personal memories of the man whose collection she curates. In 1934, Dali met Pierre Argillet with whom he began a friendship that spanned five decades. Argillet became Dali’s friend, confidante, and publisher. They created the Dali Argillet Collection that art historians have termed “the finest bodies of the Master’s Art.” The Argillet Collection is unequivocally the most authenticated collection of Dali’s work. The Pierre Argillet Collection demonstrates high standards of quality, and the works have appeared in some of the world’s most prestigious museums: Musee Boymans, Rotterdam; Musee Pushkin, Moscow; The Dali Museum, St. Petersburg, Florida; Kunsthaus Zurich and Staatsgalarie, Stuttgart; Isetan Museum of Art, Tokyo; Daimaru Art Museum, Osaka and Hiroshima Prefectural Museum of Art, Japan. The collection’s permanent home is at the Museum of Surrealism in Melun, France, and the Dali Museum in Figueres, Spain. Madame Argillet describes this exhibition as “A tribute to the work of my father, Pierre Argillet, as an extraordinary publisher of the Dada and Surrealist group. This collection reflects a constant endeavor and a close collaboration with the artists of these two movements, especially Salvador Dali. My goal is to have this collection presented in the finest museums and galleries in the world.”

Pierre Argillet-The Publisher Pierre Argillet was an avid collector of works by Futurists, Dadaists and Surrealists, meeting with the major artists of the 20th century. Argillet commissioned Dali to illustrate: Greek Mythology; Hippies; Poems by Ronsard; Secret Poems by Guillaume Apollinaire – 1967; Poems by Mao Tse Tung; The Venus in Fur by Sacher Masoch; and Faust of Goethe. Dali’s delirious vision led to a long and fruitful collaboration between artist and publisher resulting in almost 200 etchings. “My father was born in 1910 and was from a humble family,” Argillet said. “He had a strong taste for literature and philosophy. My grandmother sent him to study in Paris where he was exposed to the arts. He connected with the surrealists, and when the Second World War arrived, many artists went to New York. In the mid-1950s, many artists returned to Paris, and he reconnected with many of the surrealists. He worked with some of them before he met Dali. My father had such a wonderful friendship with Dali,” Argillet recalled. “He put aside working with other artists and worked only with Dali which was quite unusual for a publisher at that time.” Argillet described the process of her father and Dali’s commissioned work and how the limited technology, the geographical distance between them, and Dali’s spontaneous behavior would sometimes create conflict between the two men. “Dali would call my father in Paris and to get a line between Spain and France would take up to six to eight hours,” she said. “My father would stand next to the telephone and wait to be connected. Dali would tell my father that he had his commissioned plates ready and my father would immediately run to the train station and take the next train to the south of France. He would then drive to Dali’s house which was very close to the French border. He would arrive at Dali’s home only to find that Dali had sold the plates to a couple passing through. He would then tell my father, who was furious, that ‘I will do you a better print.’ This happened a couple of times throughout their relationship.”

Salvador Dali and Pierre Argillet

Dali and Pierre Argillet During her summer vacations, Argillet and her parents would stay near Dali’s home for two months while Dali worked on his commissioned pieces for Pierre Argillet. For fifteen years, this was how Christine Argillet spent her summer breaks and over the years became close to Dali and his wife, Gala. Argillet developed a priceless collection of memories that she shares with interested enthusiasts along her tour. It is often said in the art world that: “Salvador Dali was the creative genius…and Pierre Argillet was the publishing genius.” In 1974, Dali and Argillet decided to end their professional relationship but remained close friends until Dali’s death in 1989. “My father and Dali had some incredible projects together, even after my father stopped publishing for him,” Christine Argillet stated. “My father organized Dali’s first exhibition in Moscow in 1988.” Despite the Kremlin’s rejection of Dali’s politics and the nature of his art, hundreds gathered in lines outside of the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts to see 200 pieces of Dali’s work.

Dali in the Eyes of Christine “Dali, from the very early age of three or five, was already an artist who drew in a magnificent way,” she shared. “He had grown up with a very sophisticated and cultural background in Spain. At the age of nineteen, he was already exhibiting in

Carmel_2017_May_Dali_Exhibit.indd 2

2017-04-21 10:36 AM

galleries next to Goya and Picasso. Dali had a fantastic imagination and creativity. He linked his childhood and bad memories in his work. They did not stop him but were tools in his creativity. He had a very unusual imagination and expression of dreams. He would often paint with a brush with one hair. So, he had this fabulous tool and he had the imagination. At the age of 30, he already had solo exhibitions and had his first solo exhibition in New York in 1934.” Argillet describe Dali as being very dependent on his wife, Gala, who would say that “Outside of drawing and painting, he doesn’t know how to do anything else in life.”

“His wife had been a very important person in his life and in his own words he would say, ‘I would have never survived without her,’” Argillet said. “He was absolutely unable to take care of himself to the extent that when she became ill and passed away, he became ill and couldn’t take care of himself. He passed away in 1989. Gala was the structure in their relationship.” Argillet said that Dali was very much a “prankster” with a contagious sense of humor that is often found in his work. As guests would enter the living room, they would notice a long silver stick and a turtle on the floor with an ashtray on its back. Dali’s “moving ashtrays” were always a hit. “In his work, there is imagination, but there is also a lot of humor and freedom,” she said. “We tend to forget the humor in his work,” Argillet emphasized. “Humor helps a lot of things, and it is a very elegant way to say difficult things. He also included different cultures in his pieces. He liked to put different cultures together, have them meet and correspond.”

Exhibiting in Indiana Argillet pays homage to her father’s wish of showing the Dali Argillet Collection “in places where they are unexpected.” “My father passed away in 2000 at the age of 92,” she shared. “I wasn’t quite sure what to do with the collection. You never own art. It is something that you enjoy in life and it accompanies you on your journey. I would like some of the collection to be in good museums and, of course, I will keep some, but I like to share the collection, and I feel very happy to do this. Instead of having them in a vault where nobody would seem them, I am following my father’s advice to show the collection in places that is not always expected and where people can connect with our collection which is part of a body of Dali’s work that is not as well known.” The collection will be on exhibit from May 6-14. Appearances by Madame Christine Argillet on May 12th and 13th are complimentary, but require an RSVP.

Writer // Janelle Morrison

We discussed the current health and what is trending in our local real estate market with a few of our industry experts who focus on the Zionsville, Boone and Hamilton County markets. We asked about what today’s buyers look for in existing homes and how advancing technology is affecting the way that realtors market homes. Lastly, we inquired about whether this is the right time to buy and sell existing homes. RE/MAX: Ability Plus Kempler & Associates 12710 Meeting House Rd Carmel, IN 46032 Kemplerassociates.com jmkempler@gmail.com (317)-575-0400 Joseph M. Kempler (Joe) went full-time in his real estate career after retiring from a 31-year career with IBM and Lexmark in 2007 just before the Great Recession. Kempler weathered the economic downturn and focused on building his knowledge of the local market and on strategic and innovative ways to market his client’s houses. In 2012, Kempler joined RE/MAX and currently has four associates, including himself. Two of his associates live in Zionsville.

“RE/MAX is the number one brand in the nation and has a highly-recognized logo,” Kempler stated. “There are many good real estate companies out there, and I enjoy working with all of those agents. We do about half of our business in the Village of West Clay, where are located, and the other half in Zionsville, Westfield, Fishers and the surrounding areas. We focus on doing things that others don’t do and that includes stateof-the-art technology. We understand that our customers use media, digital and print to communicate. Social media is a big player in how we

market, and we publish feeds and blogs but also maintain a balance of traditional marketing and digital marketing.” Kempler has partnered with another RE/MAX team on a program called Coming Soon Homes. It is much like watching previews at a theatre. “We have the exclusive rights with this program in Boone, Hamilton, Hendricks, and Marion Counties,” Kempler said. “It allows people to see what is coming onto the market before it is published on the MLS. As this national program becomes more recognized, more people will be going there to get a preview of what is

coming here to our local markets.” Kempler stated that the Boone and Hamilton County real estate markets are strong and the inventory is low, which allows sellers to have their foot on the pulse of the market. In other words, it is a seller’s market although he warned, “The buyers have not forgotten the Great Recession and are not going to just fork over the selling price. The price of the home has to be market-priced.” Zoë Moore Homes for Keller Williams 1500 W. Oak St. Suite 500, Zionsville, IN 46077 Zoe@ZoeMooreHomes.com Mobile: 317-432-5285 Moore been in the industry for 11 years and joined the Keller Williams team last August. She focuses on the local Zionsville and greater north Indianapolis markets. For her, the Keller Williams way of business aligned with her philosophy of conducting business and how she treats her customers. “For me it’s not just about a house,” Moore emphasized. “It is about the people and the relationships. It is important for me to give my clients the best advice and taking good care of them. With the advancement of technology, this is even more important. Buyers and sellers have technology at their fingertips and use websites like Zillow. As agents, we need to go where the people are and be creative with our marketing campaigns. We must stay on top of the technology and think outside of the proverbial box. My priority is taking care of my clients. We take a lot of pride in getting the houses ready to be put on the market and taking our time to do it right rather than just putting in on the market as soon as possible and waiting to see what happens.” Moore and her team of five, including four active agents, strategize and coordinate the necessary updates in each

of their listings. Based upon the seller’s budgets, they update the homes prior to listing them. “Solid surface counter tops and wide plank wood floors are still poplar trends,” Moore said. “Neutral colors and light cabinets are preferred over the honey-oak cabinetry and richer colors that were popular in the 1990s. Once we’ve completed the upgrades, clean up the home, and prepare it for listing, we typically get multiple offers and even over asking price for the same home that was listed for less prior to our listing and updating it. It is currently a strong market and sellers can get more for their home now than in previous years. It is a seller’s market but it is a discerning market and the sellers have to pay attention to the trends of today’s buyers.” The Laviolette Group, F.C. Tucker Sonnie Laviolette, Broker 10 N. First Street, Zionsville, IN 46077 317-752-5957 sonnie@thelavgroup.com www.thelavgroup.com Sonnie Laviolette spent 16 years specializing in advertising and marketing before she entered the real estate profession in 2003. Laviolette came into the market when it was strong and like other agents, has seen the industry evolve through some interesting climates. Her strong background in marketing has served her and her team of three, which includes her son Nick, quite well. “We bring different strengths and expertise to the table,” Laviolette said. “We do intense marketing for our sellers. We understand the online market and

reach out to prospective buyers that we haven’t met and don’t know where they are located. We use various mechanisms to connect those prospective buyers to our properties. It’s more than just putting a sign in the yard. It’s about connecting with buyers on various levels, and we have insights on how to do that.” Laviolette spoke about the current state of the market and on the demographic shift that the industry is experiencing locally and nationally. “We have been seeing home values increasing steadily every year, and sellers are sitting on their investments creating a bit of a challenge for the buyers,” she said. “It’s not a matter of how many days houses are on the market rather than how many hours. It’s a challenge for agents to get buyers to a house fast enough because there are several other buyers looking at the same property.” Laviolette continued, “The real estate market moves in any economic climate; it just moves slower when the market is challenged. Currently, we are experiencing a demographic shift that is affecting the market in a variety of ways. The Baby-Boomers are downsizing and simplifying their lives. Traditionally, the younger market would migrate into the larger home with the larger yard and raise their families. Today’s younger market is not as interested in continuing this cycle. They are living their lives in a different way than the generation before them. The Baby-Boomers are downsizing and this has created a submarket of the ‘empty-nester’ product that is being built and sold on the market by builders across the nation. This changing dynamic is definitely impacting the real estate products that are available on the market.” Laviolette stated that the areas where she and her team focus on in Boone and Hamilton County continue to be strong, prime locations that continue to increase in value.

Heather Batchelor Creates Paul & Lydia, LLC Writer // Cindy Argentine • Photography // JJ Kaplan

How an international brand was born from a beach, a vision, a diaper bag, and a daughter who loves horses.

t was October 2009. Heather Blackwell Batchelor walked the Alabama coastline, listened to the lap of waves, and filled two notebooks with thoughts and prayers. The children she had homeschooled in Indiana were preparing to leave for college. Raising them had been her favorite job. She did not know what would come next. She had once worked in New York as an actress and model. She had studied painting and photography at the Herron School of Art and Design. And she had always loved fashion: “I was the girl who covered her walls with pages of Vogue magazine,” she laughs. Batchelor spent a full month at that Alabama beach praying about what to do next. Those prayers were answered when the idea for a company—what is now Paul & Lydia, LLC—came to her mind. “It was like I saw the business from a long way off,” Batchelor explains. When she left the shore, she had a concept in place. She would start her own business selling handbags and accessories. Back home in Zionsville, Batchelor began working toward her dream, trying to bring it into closer focus. She looked at retail space, spoke with the Chamber of Commerce, and drew up a business model that included her sisters. She was exploring what merchandise to carry

Faced with deciding between nursery items and equestrian ones, she chose equestrian.” when inspiration arrived in an unlikely form—a diaper bag. Batchelor and a sister spotted a bag they liked and bought it as a gift for another sister. “It was such a fun, whimsical diaper bag,” Heather says. “My sister loved to carry it.” Heather had a heart for mothers and motherhood. Selling fashionable, functional items for new moms seemed to be the perfect base for her business. Batchelor began by designing fanciful fabrics based on storybook illustrations. She contracted with an experienced seamstress who constructed bags to her specifications. But progress began to snag. Time and finances weren’t right for retail space, and her sisters, busy with young children, opted out of the venture. Then, in what felt like the biggest setback, the seamstress Batchelor had hired declined to join the business. Saddened but unwilling to let her dream unravel, Batchelor decided she should learn to sew. Her previous attempts had ended in “disaster,” but she had a basic sewing machine (a gift from her mom she’d never used), and she knew where she could learn. “The French Seam in Indianapolis offered Sewing 1, Sewing 2, Sewing 3, and Sewing 4,” Batchelor says. “In Sewing 4 they would help you do whatever project you wanted. I knew that if I got through the first classes, then they would help me make a diaper bag! I pulled out that sewing machine,

put it on the dining room table, and got to work. That’s when it finally clicked.” In a few months, she had enough inventory to go to market. The first store to carry her items was Ballerinas and Bruisers in Zionsville. She expanded to a few specialty stores like Nurture in Indianapolis. She added bibs, blankets, and lamp shades. As Batchelor designed and sewed and managed her nursery-themed business, she began to recognize another opportunity. Her daughter was an equestrian who made frequent trips to barns and horse shows, carrying a lot of gear in the process. Heather’s mother had managed a local stable while Heather was growing up. Drawing on that heritage, Batchelor

ZIONSVILLE MONTHLY

created fabrics where horses frolicked, foxes wore suits, and bridle bits were an element of graphic design. She pieced those fabrics into tasseled totes. By December 2015, Batchelor was selling baby items and equestrian bags. Working at a holiday pop-up shop on Mass Ave, she met an artisan from Vera Bradley. The new friend saw great potential in Heather’s products and offered her a key piece of advice: “Pick a lane—babies or equestrian—and stay in it.” Batchelor realized her colleague was right. Faced with deciding between nursery items and equestrian ones, she chose equestrian. The theme allowed her to combine fun and whimsy with her love for classic American design. It reflected

MAY 2017

2017-04-21 1:54 PM

her personal style, her family heritage, and the needs of her family right then. When her totes sold out at horse shows, Batchelor expanded to tack stores. She added more products, including garment bags, cosmetic bags, wristlets, and portfolios. Business spread

worldwide. Now, less than two years after narrowing her focus, Batchelor’s equestrian designs are sold in the United States, Canada, South America, Europe, Japan, and Australia. Through her website, people can buy from anywhere in the world. She is currently bringing her line to gift shops, such as Michele’s on Main in Zionsville, and marketing to customers who like the equestrian look whether they ride or not. Batchelor still sketches concepts and designs prints from her home. But the dining room table is no longer her workshop, and the kitchen is no longer the fulfillment center. Paul & Lydia bags are being made in China. The woman who owns the Chinese factory where they are made flew here to meet with her. The two ladies communicate regularly, often at 4 a.m., to discuss prototypes and business details. The creative side of this endeavor continues to inspires Batchelor. Lying in

bed, she might imagine a bag hanging on a hook and think what do I want to see there? She hopes that in some small way, her products improve people’s lives: “It’s a little thing that can bring joy, make someone smile.” Her designs help a person express who they are. That, in turn, helps them connect with other people. “For me,” she says, “this is still about art. I want to create something that speaks to someone, that communicates something. My media are simply bags now.” Right from the start, Batchelor chose the name Paul & Lydia for her company. Paul, the New Testament evangelist, worked with Lydia, the seller of purple cloth, to bring faith and hope to a new part of the world. The purple tag Batchelor places in each of her items echoes the purple cloth that Lydia sold. It reminds Heather of her month at the beach, her vision on the horizon, and the faith she still follows while fulfilling her dream.

Special Zionsville Mothers Writer // Rebecca Wood • Photography // JJ Kaplan

Mother’s Day brings an opportunity to honor extraordinary mothers who display big hearts, loving endurance, and outstanding service to others. Our hometown is full of such mothers, but three Zionsville moms stand out as women who exhibit all these traits and more.

eet Deidra Smith, Deb Weidner, and Chris Nebesio. These women are tireless in their dedication and appreciation of their unique motherhood roles. And, they are passionate about inspiring others in their own journeys. Here are their stories.

Deidra Smith

A big family with a big heart Deidra Smith runs her household with military precision. Phone alarm reminders, meal planning, and list-making keep her days running smoothly. The laundry is tackled every evening. For some, this level of organization and management may seem extreme. But for a family as large as the Smiths, a well-run ship requires an efficient captain and a compliant crew. Smith’s “crew” consists of seven children and an eighth child to arrive this summer. The children range in age from 22 to two years old. Oldest son Anthony is a Marine stationed in North Carolina. “We always knew we loved and wanted a big family,” says Smith. “I don’t think either of us envisioned eight plus kids, but we couldn’t be more thrilled. We think all children are gifts from God and welcome His blessings.” Smith’s days are jam-packed and busy. She awakes at 5:30 a.m. to sneak in a workout. By 8 a.m., Smith heads to work as a second-grade teacher at Stonegate Elementary School. By 4 p.m., Smith and the children have arrived home from school. Homework, sports practices, Bible studies, and dinner quickly fill the evening hours.

Husband Tony, a lieutenant with the Brownsburg Fire Territory, prioritizes time with his children when he is not working shifts at the firehouse. The key to managing a big family is teamwork and ownership by each child on his or her part in the process, Smith believes. The family welcomes other children into their home as part of the Safe Families program. Safe Families places children who are in distressed homes with host families who are happy to open their

hearts and house to children in need. “I believe every child deserves to have a family whose heart breaks for them and cries when they leave,” Smith says. Five Safe Families children have lived with the Smiths from a few days to a few months. Smith appreciates the opportunity to welcome them into their home and teach her children the value of hospitality and sharing. “As a teacher and firefighter, we won’t be leaving our children with big

G-tube. Every two hours, Shea requires nourishment and medication. Sleeping can be difficult for Shea and her parents. To face the everyday challenges, Weidner’s mantra is “Embrace what has been given to you.” Weidner uses humor when she’d rather cry. She credits those within the Zionsville community, especially her sisters, friends, neighbors, and St. Alphonsus Church, for supporting her family and never making her feel the depth of loneliness that plagues many caregivers. “Many times, people place groceries on our porch, send a note, drop a meal, or offer to spend time with our boys when Shea is in a stage of illness,” Weidner recounts. “This is what life is all about, helping others get through the day.” Weidner hopes that Shea has an impact on the community. She wants others to experience the joys of being with a special needs child. But, she also aspires to make others aware of the challenges faced by special needs families. “I hope Shea reminds others to show empathy,” urges Weidner. “It is a life that I would not have imagined, but I know that we have always been given what we need, just when we need it.” To support special needs families in Zionsville go to www.thehawkfoundation.org.

bank accounts. But, we can leave them each other, love, experiences together, and a passion for being advocates for others,” Smith states. “We hope to pass on our passion for vulnerable children on to them and their children.” For more information on Safe Families go to safe-families.org.

Deb Weidner

Mother to a gift A few weeks ago, cheers erupted in the Weidner home. Eleven- year-old Shea Weidner walked over to the pantry and opened a graham cracker box. Shea’s two brothers, Von (age 12) and Cruz (age 9), were elated. This seemingly ordinary task brought joy to the entire house. What was being witnessed was a miracle. As a baby, Shea was never predicted to walk. Deb and Marcus Weidner adopted Shea at birth. They named their healthy baby girl Shea, because it meant “gift” in Hebrew. Within weeks of birth, Shea was struggling to breath and drink from a bottle. After numerous hospital visits, Shea was diagnosed with a rare genetic condition, failure to thrive, a seizure disorder, and Cerebral Palsy. “Marcus and I truly believe that God gives you the child you were meant to

Shea is chronically ill, and the slightest illness can lead to a hospital stay. Her feeding is mostly conducted through a

A deep appreciation of motherhood In April 2012, the Nebesio family returned from spring break. Six-yearold Carter Nebesio was fighting a virus coupled with other alarming symptoms. Chris and Todd Nebesio, both physicians, rushed their daughter to the hospital. After a battery of tests, Carter was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL). Subsequently, she underwent intense chemotherapy and radiation treatments to fight the disease. Thanks to her aggressive treatments, Carter was in clinical remission by the end of the year. The Nebesios assumed their daughter’s intense journey was over. Nebesio describes what happened next as “every parent’s and patient’s worst

nightmare.” In June 2013, a routine checkup reviled that the invasive cancer had returned. After three months of intense chemotherapy, Carter’s body had enough; she passed away after a 17-month battle with cancer. “How can any parent conceive of living after the death of a child?” Nebesio asked. She says her son Will gave her the strength to keep going. Ten days after Carter’s passing, the family celebrated Will’s tenth birthday. “As much as the mom in me wanted to wallow in grief and cry all day, I knew I had another child that needed me,” Nebesio asserts. “It was okay for him to see me sad, and goodness knows he did. But I also had to keep his needs close to my heart. He was sad. He was missing his sister and best friend. But he had to see that he, and we, could survive it all.” From Carter’s passing, Nebesio established a deep appreciation for motherhood and a desire to expand their family. The Nebesios knew they wanted to experience the joy of watching and raising more little people in their lives. Within the next few years, Jack (age 2) and Nora (age 1) joined the family.

“They are our bright spots in the midst of grief. They have brought laughter and life to our family,” Nebesio states. The Nebesios have honored Carter’s legacy by giving back. The family started a fund with Riley Children’s Hospital. Friends and family have donated $115,000 for the Carter Strong Fund, which supports the Child Life and social work at Riley Children’s Hospital. The Nebesios continue fundraising efforts for charities that benefit children with cancer: MakeA-Wish, Give Kids the World, and Tatum’s Bags of Fun. Nebesio wants others to remember Carter’s amazing spirit, strength, and bravery. “She was six when she was diagnosed with cancer, but she never let her diagnosis define her,” Nebesio says. “She was strong and brave. She swallowed more pills, sustained more needle pokes, and overcame more pain than any child should endure. She still managed to laugh, smile, and love through it all.” Donations can be made in Carter’s name at the Riley Children’s Foundation, designate for the Carter Strong Fund.

Homenclature: A Unique Furnishings Store Finds a Home in Carmel If you’ve been looking for that one store to find one-of-a-kind furnishings and accessories to make your home stylish and unique, look no further; it now exists in Carmel. Homenclature recently opened in Merchant’s Plaza on 116th Street and offers items that you won’t find anywhere else. All items have been painstakingly collected by its owners Amanda and Shayne Snider.

Writer // Janelle Morrison

fter leaving a successful career in medical sales to have the couple’s third child, Amanda gave birth to her brainchild, Homenclature, a home furnishings store unlike any other. Amanda and Shayne had long considered owning a business, but the idea of a furniture store was spurred on by what Amanda believed was a lack of unique furniture and accessory options. She felt that the furnishings market was full of stores that looked the same inside and offered the same overpriced, poor-quality items. Supported by Shayne, a high school history teacher and head football coach, Amanda set up some ground rules for the new business. They decided that they would borrow no money to start the business and would close it if not profitable. With that, Amanda began garbage-picking, flea-marketing, and re-purposing in preparation. Homenclature opened in May of 2008 in Munster, Indiana, near where Amanda and Shayne lived. Amanda says Homenclature offered something unique. “Originally, our model was re-purposed and gently used, unique furniture in a modest 3,600 square foot space

at the backend of a strip mall next to the local neighborhood bar. Though we had stockpiled inventory for nearly eight months prior to opening, we had sold everything in about the first two months,” says Amanda. She began perusing Craigslist and visiting neighborhood garage sales, estate sales and auctions, collecting items to sell in the store. Eventually, Amanda used her sales experience and began cold calling warehouses, distribution centers, shipping companies and furniture manufacturers. “As it turns out, there’s a lot of broken stuff lying around in warehouses,” she says. At first it was just a few pieces at a time, and then it was by the truckload as Amanda purchased salvage products. She and her repair man learned how to repair all types of furniture. Business was so brisk that the store quickly doubled in size. In 2013, Amanda and Shayne closed the Munster store and opened a new one in a 30,000-square foot former wiper-blade factory warehouse in Valparaiso. In five years the company had expanded from 3,600 square feet of space to almost ten times that. With constantly increasing sales and responsibilities, Shayne

left his successful teaching career and resigned from his position as an assistant superintendent to join Homenclature in 2015. Within a year, they were looking to expand into the north side of Indianapolis and found an ideal location for their new store at Merchants Plaza in Carmel. Amanda guarantees that a visit to Homenclature will be different than visiting your run-ofthe-mill furniture store. “Customers can expect to find a unique, and eclectic hand-curated collection of quality items at aggressive pricing that is immediately available. The selection of items ranges from true one-of- a-kind pieces, re-purposed and reclaimed pieces, original art, prototypes, samples, overstock, chip-and- dent, well-known designers, and just flat-out good deals,” she says. Amanda says that they have found that customers do not want to wait to make their homes beautiful and are tired of seeing the same old stuff from store to store. “Clients have the ability to furnish their entire home from top to bottom in one store without looking like they bought everything at one place. Your home’s furnishings should be a direct reflection of your personality and show a history

where awesome pieces are collected along the way,” she says. While Homenclature does offer a custom order program, most of their business is done right off the sales floor. White-glove delivery service is available as well as customer pick up. New items arrive every week and Homenclature transforms into a completely new store every month.

Jackie Evancho burst into the national spotlight at the tender age of 10, when audiences and judges on America’s Got Talent were so stunned by her flawless soprano and operatic repertoire they wondered if she was lip-syncing. In the seven years since, she has released seven albums in a range of styles, coming to epitomize the “crossover classic” genre of vocal music – singers who are equally comfortable with Puccini or pop.

The Music Man

By turns wicked, funny, warm, romantic, and touching, The Music Man is family entertainment at its best. Meredith Wilson’s six-time, Tony Award winning musical comedy has been entertaining audiences since 1957 and is a familyfriendly story to be shared with every generation. The Music Man follows fasttalking traveling salesman Harold Hill as he cons the people of River City, Iowa into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys’ band he vows to organize - this despite the fact he doesn’t know a trombone from a treble clef. His plans to skip town with the cash are foiled when he falls for Marian the librarian, who transforms him into a respectable citizen by curtain’s fall. TARKINGTON APRIL 28-MAY 13

Beyond the Rainbow

Writer // Janelle Morrison

Witham Health Services recently announced that it is offering state-of-theart radiation therapy services and PET/CT, which is the most cutting-edge imaging available for oncology patients.

ith the re-opening of the Witham/St. Vincent Cancer Institute, the treatment facility has undergone remodeling and now features a new “TrueBeam,” a linear accelerator designed to provide advanced radiation therapy services. The Cancer Institute can now provide advanced radiation therapy services previously only available at the larger hospitals in Indianapolis. Some examples of the provided therapy services that are Stereotactic Radiosurgery (“SRS”) and Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (“SBRT”) treatment procedures that focus the radiation beam more directly to the tumor than conventional radiation therapy technology allows. It can deliver a higher, more effective radiation treatment dose to the tumor site. This new technology reduces the number of daily treatments the physician prescribes for the patient, thereby reducing the duration of radiation therapy dramatically. SRS procedures are used to treat small brain tumors. SBRT procedures are

typically used to treat small lung tumors, pancreatic cancers, and metastatic tumors in the liver. There are numerous publications that also support its use in the treatment of breast, brain, head and neck, sarcoma, lung, liver, spine and adrenal glands cancers. Witham has also announced the installation of its own dedicated PET/CT. Prior to this, Witham relied on a mobile PET/CT unit that came once a week and patients had to schedule their appointments on that day. Now, patients can stay in their county of residence and schedule their PET/CT one of five days a week rather than going one day a week or traveling to hospitals outside of Boone County. Witham Health Services now offers advanced, noninvasive PET/CT imaging services in a comfortable setting. Witham’s new Siemens Biograph mCT™ PET/

CT enables the quantification of molecular processes in the body with advanced applications in oncology and neurology. Its open design and fast scan times may help patients feel more comfortable and less claustrophobic. PET/CT is an imaging modality that has many advantages. A PET/CT scan is widely used to find cancer and learn its stage. Knowing this helps patients and their doctors choose the best treatment. PET/CT also helps doctors predict the patient’s chance of recovery. PET/CT may also aid neurologists in the evaluation of neurological disorders and dementia. “What we can do today compared to 20 years ago is night and day,” said Jason Scott, director of Imaging Services at Witham Health Services. “We are very excited to bring PET/CT to Witham Health Services to advance our imaging capabilities. This system will provide our doctors with a wide range of imaging options for many different types of patients. We offer 3-D mammograms that take slices of deep tissue and provide better imaging results. We are all about the patients and take great pride in the cutting-edge treatment services that we provide.” “The addition of the new PET/CT gives Witham one of the most cutting-edge imaging systems available today,” said Dr. Rob Liebross, radiation oncologist at Witham Health Services. “We now have a versatile PET/CT system that is fast, highly accurate, and allows us to deliver comfortable imaging experiences to our patients. Our PET/ CT is a quantum leap forward, redefining images and setting another new standard in diagnostic imaging.” Kelly Scheid, department manager at Witham/St. Vincent Cancer Institute, spoke about the quality of services that patients can expect while being treated at the institute. “We are extremely excited to offer state-of-the-art technology to our patients in Boone County and surrounding counties. All of the treatment planning and imaging that is required is done at Witham. The PET/CT allows the physicians to see exactly where the cancer is and if it has metastasized so they know where to treat.”

Is Back in Town Writer // Janelle Morrison

If you’ve been missing the hickorysmoked goodness of Patrick Mullen’s smoked meats, you are in luck-Patrick’s Smokehouse Kitchen is setting up shop inside of Moody’s Butcher Shop this month.

fficially opening on the weekend of the season’s first farmer’s market, May 13, Mullen will be personally smoking the beef, pork, and chicken straight out of the Moody’s case and serving up his famous breakfast burritos with home-made salsa verde and other delicious and affordable, carry-out breakfast and lunch items. “We will serve sandwiches, soups, salads, and sides from our limited menu,” Mullen explained. “Our focus will be on our smokehouse specialties using the local products sold at Moody’s. When we get acclimated, we will be expanding our offerings to include PKD to Go (Patrick’s Kitchen Dinners to Go) that will include entrée sides such as mac and cheese, coleslaw, etc. Let us do the cooking for you.” Mullen explained that lunch will be starting at $6 to $9 and will offer sandwich/soup and/or salad combos for about $9. Patrick’s Smokehouse Kitchen will offer a tasty and affordable alternative for people who work in downtown Zionsville. Mullen will be on-site smoking and serving with the personal attention and enthusiasm that his former patrons grew to appreciate when he was on Main Street as Patrick’s Kitchen and Drinks.

“We’re going to be open at 8:00 a.m. and close at 3:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday,” he said. “I’m looking forward to being back in Zionsville again and being behind the counter. For me, it’s about the contact with the guest(s), and I miss the immediate gratification and the face to face that happens when I’m behind the counter. I’m also hopeful that we will add some value to the butcher shop’s operation by being there. Our target market will primarily be the people who work downtown during the day and when we begin to offer the PKD to Go, then we hope that people will take advantage of our carryout dinners so that they don’t have to worry about cooking after a long day.” Mullen emphasized that he will still be at Danny Boy in Carmel and that the menu and dinner service will remain the same there. He will be introducing his smoked meats from Moody’s to the Danny Boy menu.

“Beth and I have lived in Zionsville since 1984 when we were newlyweds,” he concluded. “We are excited about the romantic notion of coming back to our community and operating a lunch counter, personally. We really owe our moving back to another Zionsville resident, Dr. Chuck Dietzen, because he approached me and it was his prodding that led me to approach Moody’s about the idea to begin with. Chuck put me in contact with his friend, Mel Lytton, who was a blacksmith at Conner Prairie for many years, and he built the smoker that we will be using on Moody’s lot. He is currently building us a 17-foot behemoth smoker that we will be using in the near future. We’re really excited to be coming back.”
