Zionsville Eagles Football Welcomes Coach Scott Turnquist Back to the Field This month’s cover, Coach Scott Turnquist, may be very familiar to many of you because he and his family have been Zionville residents for several years. However, it is our great pleasure to re-introduce him as ZCHS’s new Head Football Coach. Turnquist began his teaching and coaching career in Zionsville. Unfortunately, a causality of a reduction of force a few years ago in Zionsville, Turnquist continued his coaching career at Carmel High School. It is great to welcome back Coach Turnquist to lead the Eagles program. Writer // Janelle Morrison • Cover photo // Theresa Skutt

and How Does it Serve Our County? Writer // Janelle Morrison • Photography // Courtesy of Community Foundation of Boone County

Perhaps you have read about or seen social media posts about the Community Foundation of Boone County (CFBC) and most recently about the $1M Community Challenge Grant that is underway. Find out how it all works, where it goes and if you are eligible to participate.

W

hat is a community foundation? A community foundation invests, manages and disperses designated funds on behalf of individuals, families, and businesses who desire to give a financial gift to a nonprofit or cause, that benefits the county it serves. Donors can choose to support an established nonprofit fund of their choice or create a fund that supports their favorite organization or cause. Donors can also choose to donate to the Community Fund-an unrestricted endowment pool of dollars and can be used for various projects, programs and initiatives that improve the quality of life in Boone County. Community foundations are important partners in building and strengthening their communities and bring people and organizations together to make a difference

within their communities. They are tax- exempt public charities that help guide philanthropy and are committed to improving the quality of life in the area they serve. The mission of CFBC is to unite people, organizations and philanthropy to create a thriving community for all. The first community foundation was established in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1914 by Frederic Goff, a banker who realized the value of creating a permanent endowment that would benefit citizens in his community for generations to come. How was CFBC established? All of Indiana’s 92 counties have community foundations, thanks to generous donors, volunteers and Lilly Endowment, Inc. who created GIFT (Giving Indiana Funds for Tomorrow) in 1990. The purpose was to help local communities in Indiana develop the phil-

What does CFBC do with the funds after they are invested? When a gift is made, those dollars are invested. CFBC spends only the interest on scholarships and charitable/ educational grants that support students and nonprofits, such as The Boys and Girls Clubs, Humane Society for Boone County, Habitat for Humanity-Boone County, Boone County Cancer Society, Lebanon Community of Shalom and many more throughout Boone County. CFBC has 203 funds, established by generous donors, businesses and organizations.

How does the $1M Community Challenge Grant work? CFBC is currently campaigning to meet the match and has until December 31, 2020, to achieve its goal of raising $1 million towards its Community Fund. For CFBC, an additional $2 million in endowment funds means at least $80,000 more annually to grant and support students and local needs. Additionally, Lilly Endowment will award CFBC a $100,000 unrestricted grant if it achieves full [financial] support from board members through June 2020.

SPOTLIGHT ON INDEPENDENT MEDICAL PROVIDERS In this Special Section, we wanted to celebrate those independent practitioners that have bucked the trend of consolidation in the healthcare industry and chosen to remain independent.

Georgia, and has been in private practice since 2000. Behforouz started his own practice in 2003 and expanded his facility in 2018 to provide in-house LASIK. He and the Center for Sight team of 14 manage and treat patients with diabetes, macular degeneration and glaucoma. “I joined a private practice right out of residency,” Dr. Behforouz said. “After that, I decided that I wanted to do things differently for my patients and deviated from the traditional private practice model a bit.” Private practices are becoming scarcer in today’s medical field. We asked Dr. Behforouz

What if you could have clear vision without the aid of corrective lenses or eyeglasses? Are you considering LASIK surgery but are not sure if you’re a candidate for it?If you’re in need of one of the best comprehensive ophthalmologists in central Indiana, then look no further than Dr. Michael Behforouz at Center for Sight Carmel.

F

or more than 15 years, Dr. Behforouz has been improving the quality of his patients’ lives by providing them with specialized ophthalmology treatment plans and individualized one-on-one care. Dr. Behforouz, a Muncie native and graduate of Indiana University, specializes

in LASIK Surgery, Custom Cataract Surgery and Dry Eye Treatment. His practice, Center for Sight, is in Carmel where he and his family reside. Behforouz is certified through the American Board of Ophthalmology. He completed his ophthalmology residency at the prestigious Emory Eye Center in Atlanta,

why he has been successful without the support of a major healthcare system. “To put it into perspective, the loan that I had to take out to start this practice was eight times more than my medical school loan,” Dr. Behforouz bluntly stated. “I think part of the reason why physician-owned practices are less commonplace these days is because you have to treat it like any other business. You must create a product that by itself is going to be in demand. If you want to own your own business, you have to be a proficient marketing person and be willing to make that extra effort in running your practice

like a business and conquer the fear of failure.” Dr. Behforouz stated that many physicians don’t want to deal with running a business; they just want to practice medicine and do what they diligently studied to do. Most physicians also appreciate the job security that comes with working within a network and the overall risk from which private practices are not shielded. “What most physicians don’t realize is that they give up a lot of freedom,” Dr. Behforouz said. “I don’t have a corporate person telling me how many patients I’m supposed to see and how to code it. I don’t have someone telling me how to practice an art; that’s what medicine is. There is science to what I do, but there is also art to it, and it’s about treating people the way that I would want to be treated.” Another reason why Dr. Behforouz has been successful in growing his practice – having just recently treated his 30,000th patient – is his appreciation for evolving technology and his keen sense on if and/or when to implement it. “Ophthalmology is unique in the sense that it is very technology-driven,” he said. “New equipment is coming out every six months. It’s high cost to get the new hardware and software, but it can be worth the investment. There is no extra cost to my patients. The reward for me is that I am going to do the best job, and my patient is going to see better and tell all their friends. Our biggest referral source is word of mouth. My adaptation of technology has always been to

look for new technology and how it will make a difference. You have to be discerning. Just because it’s new doesn’t mean that it’s better.” Last May, Dr. Behforouz acquired the fastest laser on the market that has allowed his practice to offer traditional PRK (photorefractive keratectomy) surgery and LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis) surgery at his outpatient clinic. While both procedures treat myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness) and/or astigmatism, each varies in procedure and recovery. “The faster the laser, the better,” Dr. Behforouz emphasized. “The way we measure the eye has changed too. We can take a digital fingerprint of the eye, so to speak, and that guides the laser to create

a round shape, which is the most desirable shape to get all the light rays into focus at one point in the eye. Not everybody is a candidate for LASIK. Again, just because you have the technology doesn’t mean that it applies to everybody, so I still do the ‘old’ PRK as well as the ‘new’ LASIK, depending on the patient.” Dr. Behforouz explained that the ideal candidate for LASIK is between 25 and 40 years old, lives an active lifestyle and has healthy eyes. While he will treat patients after the age of 40, he stressed that he has a different conversation with these patients as it comes down to realistic expectations. “The ideal age is 25 only because these patients are going to get 15 years without

SPOTLIGHT ON INDEPENDENT MEDICAL PROVIDERS glasses and/or readers,” he said. “They’ll get more bang for their buck the younger they have it done.” Trusting your ophthalmologist is essential before any kind of treatment or procedure, and building that trust is equally as important to Dr. Behforouz. “I’ve been doing LASIK for more than 15 years, and we do all of our procedures on-site,” he said. “I’m the only provider that you see pre- and post-op. We have a very customized approach to all our surgeries, especially the cataract surgeries. These have really been niche for the last 15 years. We dedicate the time to have a discussion before surgery to find out what the patient wants and needs and what they are a candidate for because everybody’s eyes are different.” Behforouz concluded, “Our individualized approach, compassion and communicativeness is what separates our practice from others. For me, trust is a big deal. I appreciate a person’s trust. That’s the ultimate gift that a patient can give me.”

Morrison’s optimism, enthusiasm and sincerity are at the heart of ZPT. As the

only single, locally-owned physical therapy practice in Zionsville, ZPT offers patients a unique model within the modern healthcare system. “Our goal is to be personal and personable,” Morrison says. “We allow the time needed to do that.” Many times, sessions with a therapist last an hour or more. That allows time to listen, evaluate and treat using hands-on techniques. Many different issues lead people to ZPT. Back pain, knee pain and shoulder and neck problems are common issues. Some patients are preparing for or recovering from surgery. Others have sustained an injury. Teens may be affected by playing sports.

may have impaired balance. Whatever the situation, a physical therapist at ZPT designs a program of exercise to stretch and strengthen the correct muscles, enabling the patient to regain strength and mobility.

Welcoming Environment

The ZPT staff includes three licensed PTs: owner Elaine Morrison, Marissa Barbee and Emina Alicusic-Karic. There are several PT technicians: Taylor Kerr, Amanda Raines, Katia Pena Garcia and Preet Sidhu. Christi Johnson, office manager, greets guests as they arrive and artfully handles billing and scheduling. Morrison personally specializes in women’s care. She has successfully treated many issues women face, including urinary incontinence, pelvic pain and concerns related to pregnancy and intimacy. Morrison hopes women will realize that there are effective PT treatments for many conditions. ZPT’s office is designed to feel safe, comfortable and welcoming. The gym area, open to the reception space, hosts weights, benches and other exercise equipment. It offers plenty of daylight and space to move. Conversation flows easily between patients and providers as they work side-by-side, creating a family-like atmosphere.

attended Purdue and IUPUI and gained experience at a rehab institute in Louisville, a hospital in northern Indiana and several nursing homes and corporate outpatient PT clinics. When an opportunity arose at ZPT in 2005, Morrison embraced it. About a year later, when ZPT’s founder decided to move on, Morrison purchased the practice. Morrison and her staff are committed to being lifelong learners in their field. Through in-depth consultation and assessment, they are able to pinpoint underlying issues others may have missed. They often share their experience and knowledge with the community by offering free workshops at ZPT. On March 16, ZPT will host a workshop on hip and pelvis concerns.

Becoming a Patient

Morrison welcomes referrals from medical doctors. She believes that collaboration between a doctor and therapist often benefits patients. However, if patients have not seen a doctor concerning their issue, they may still seek physical therapy. Under Indiana law, a patient may receive physical therapy for 24 days through direct access without a doctor’s order. (An exception is that Medicare requires a physician to be involved.) Morrison believes it is ethical and important to give patients a choice of providers. She recognizes that many therapists are affiliated with a hospital or larger healthcare network. As an independent provider, ZPT does not receive the built-in referrals

such systems provide, but patients are free to request independent providers. Physical therapy is often covered by insurance, and ZPT works with several insurance plans. As Morrison says, it is worth a phone call to find out.

comprehensive exams can uncover hidden, “silent” eye disease or issues not found by simple vision screenings. During an exam, patients can take advantage of the Optomap®, which is a widefield digital scanning ophthalmoscopy, in place of dilation. The Optomap® captures more than 80 percent of your retina in a single image while other traditional imaging shows only 15 percent. Unlike dilation, the Optomap® is fast, comfortable and allows a permanent record for comparing future changes. Dilation drops, which add 20-30 minutes to an exam, also leave patients with light sensitivity and blurred vision for six to 12 hours. Zionsville Eyecare doctors also diagnose and treat many issues from conjunctivitis (pink eye), cataracts and age-related macular degeneration to glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and dry eyes. Zionsville Eyecare is an accredited tear-testing lab using the latest diagnostic technology and treatment options to address dry eyes. Based on your diagnosis, the doctor may recommend a wide variety of approaches, including improved nutrition, prescription medications or medical procedures. The optometrists also treat various ocular injuries and can recommend specific types of eyewear to prevent future injury. Zionsville Eyecare also offers after-hour coverage for eye emergencies. AdaptDx® is another new technology Zionsville Eyecare has added to help early detection of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The doctors may recommend this

non-invasive test to patients age 50 and older who have been identified with potential indicators or symptoms. AMD is the leading cause of severe vision loss in adults over age 50. AMD, if detected early, can be treated, but it cannot be cured. For the youngest patients, Zionsville Eyecare offers InfantSEE® examinations, which are free of charge for infants 6-12 months old. Eighty percent of everything children learn is by sight, yet many parents don’t have their children’s eyes checked. Many eye conditions have no symptoms, and early intervention is important for successful development. For people interested in contact lenses, Zionsville Eyecare offers all the latest and best options, including daily replacement soft lenses, rigid gas permeable, multi-focal, astigmatism correcting, scleral and myopia (nearsightedness) controlling contact lenses. The practice also is a preview site for new-market contact lenses

and related products. Contact lens technology is always developing and improving, so Zionsville Eyecare optometrists are successful in fitting a wider range of patients of all ages. For added convenience, Zionsville Eyecare also stocks many contact lenses for sale. If you’re looking for a new pair of glasses, Zionsville Eyecare has a large variety of the newest, high-quality frames and sunglasses to meet all patients’ needs and budgets. Zionsville Eyecare is proud to offer frame lines including Barton Perreira, MYKITA, Oakley, Maui Jim, Etnia Barcelona, Lafont, l.a.Eyeworks, Burberry, Versace, Silhouette and RayBan, among others. Opticians assist patients with choosing and fitting new eyeglasses as well as adjusting and repairing existing frames. The in-practice lab offers a faster delivery time for single-vision glasses, which in many cases, can be ready the same day. Zionsville Eyecare also provides a oneyear eyewear warranty and

the doctors’ prescriptionaccuracy guarantee. A new chapter began as Dr. Haines and Dr. Garn formed a partnership with Greg and Kim Storen of Storen Financial and broke ground in October 2018 on construction of a new building in Zionsville. Zionsville Eyecare and Storen Financial will be the primary occupants of the new 27,000 square feet, two-story building at 1120 W. Oak St. A few businesses are currently in discussions to lease space in the building; officials say there is space available for rent. The 1120 West building is expected to be completed in fall 2019.

lymphedema therapists, Dr. Schoonover recognized the advantage of having these services and treatments available in-house to better accommodate his patients’ needs, an advantage made possible by being an independent practice. “There are multiple challenges being an independent practice,” Dr. Schoonover said. “There is the challenge of reimbursement and of having overhead like any business, but because we are still small, we can navigate those challenges more quickly than a larger organization. One thing that is very unique about our practice is our innovative way of providing detailed cost estimates for our patients prior to any procedures. There are so many different types of insurance plans, and with the Affordable Care Act, people are having to take on more financial responsibility and have higher deductibles. Our highly trained staff walks the patients through the process and helps them understand where they are from a deductible standpoint.” Dr. Schoonover emphasized that not one patient is exactly like another, and not every patient that walks

Do you or someone you know suffer from chronic issues associated with varicose vein disease or chronic venous insufficiency?

effery Schoonover, Diplomate, American Board of Venous and Lymphatic Medicine with Indiana Vein Specialists and family medicine physician, opened Indiana Vein Specialists in Fishers in 2011 and his west Carmel location in 2014. His practice specializes in venous and lymphatic medicine. Dr. Schoonover is dedicated to treating varicose vein disease and related disorders with minimally invasive treatments, such as Endovenous Ablation Treatment, Ultrasound-Guided Sclerotherapy, Surface Laser Treatment, Lymphatic Compression Pump Therapy and Compression Stocking Fitting as well as the latest in cutting-edge technologies, VenaSeal and Varithena. Indiana Vein Specialists is one of only

a few practices that offer these two treatments. Since our first visit, Dr. Schoonover’s staff has grown to 18 between the two locations. His staff is much like his extended family, and that level of care and respect carries over to the practices’ patients as well as the communities in which they serve. Indiana Vein Specialists proudly sponsors multiple community activities, such as the Carmel Marathon and other events. Last fall, Indiana Vein Specialists welcomed Natalie Dereka, a certified lymphedema therapist, to the practice. This month, they welcomed Dr. Joseph Spahr, a hematologist. While Indiana Vein Specialists works with a vast network of hematologists and

He can assess the entire picture and not just a snapshot of the patient’s overall health. “This type of [holistic] approach is in the DNA of the practice as well,” he concluded. “For me, from an intellectual component, it’s been a lot of fun being a part of a new and growing specialty.” For more information about Indiana Vein Specialists and a comprehensive list of services, visit indyveins.com or call 317-348-3020.

Being under stress herself with the ordeal, Hanning also participated in the sessions in Chicago and had the same positive results. “I clearly remember driving during a bright beautiful day, and a feeling of bliss came over me. It was a feeling of gratitude that I hadn’t been in touch with for a few years.” Hanning felt compelled to bring the technology to Indianapolis and became a licensed provider. Hanning points to studies that have shown that stress can cause the brain to become unbalanced, leading to anxiety, inability to focus, feelings of restlessness and trouble sleeping. People suffering from many other conditions can benefit as well. Cereset’s technology uses sensors to detect brain rhythms, which echo as audio tones played back to the client. The BrainEcho™ process happens in real-time between the computer and the brain to produce a relaxed brain, which can manage stress and support restful sleep. The technology basically empowers the brain to reset itself as it hears and “sees” its own reflection, enabling the brain to fully relax and reset itself to its natural balance from the inside out. There is no outside intervention, stimulus or medication of any kind. The brain does all the work while the client naps or relaxes in a comfortable chair. Cereset, whose name comes from the words Cerebrum (brain) and the word reset, has been used successfully with

ereset, a wellness company that uses a non-invasive all-natural technology called BrainEcho to help people achieve restful and restorative sleep, has opened a franchise in Carmel at 160 W. Carmel Dr., Suite 186. This is the first franchise in the state of Indiana and is owned by Brenda Hanning who served clients in the Indianapolis area for five years with the previous generation of Cereset’s technology under the name Balanced Matter.

Hanning sought out the technology when her son began to struggle with anxiety and panic attacks and was unable to go to school. After two years of treatment by psychiatrists and therapists and being on medication, Hanning decided to try a new noninvasive technology she heard about, which relaxed stress and trauma patterns in the brain. She took her son to the closest provider in Chicago. “A month after his sessions, he was back in the land of the living. He was able to go back

more than 130,000 clients in 25 countries. Hanning calls it a life tool for everyone. “Owning a Cereset franchise is personal to me,” she says. “After utilizing the Cereset technology, the positive results were so significant, I felt compelled to bring this technology to my community to help more people take back control of their lives,” she says. “I am committed to getting the word out about Cereset, so the community knows there is a new safe and highly effective technology in town that helps their brain reset, relax and get unstuck.” Cereset is not a medical procedure and is not covered by health insurance. However, Cereset may be eligible for health savings account (HSA) funds. Hanning describes the technology as very relaxing and easy to experience.

THE PALLADIUM PRESENTS

A CONVERSATION WITH

GRAHAM NASH Writer // Janelle Morrison • Photography // Amy Grantham

THE CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS WILL PRESENT AN INTIMATE EVENING OF SONGS AND STORIES WITH GRAHAM NASH ON FRIDAY, MARCH 22 AT 8 P.M.

From his start with The Hollies through his years with Crosby, Stills & Nash (and sometimes Young), a historic appearance at Woodstock and decades of social activism, this British singer-songwriter with the high tenor voice is one of the great survivors and elder statesmen of the rock era.

A two-time inductee of both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame, Grammy winner Nash has penned such classics as CSN’s “Teach Your Children,” “Our House” and “Wasted on the Way.” I had the incredible privilege of speaking with Nash about his humble beginnings, his remarkable success with CSN, the relationships he had throughout his career and where he is at in his personal life today, half a century after his first lead vocal on the original Hollies song, “To You My Love.”

How is life for you these days? How are you spending your time? First of all, I wake up, and I realize I’m alive and I start there. Secondly, I am lucky enough to be able to fill my day with creating, writing music, making images with photographs and collecting [art]. On the 2nd of February, I turned 77 years old, and I feel fantastic. I’m trying to do the best with this life that I was given.

As an aspiring musician, what impact did American rock ‘n roll and singers like the iconic Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis have on you? Oh, not much. It just changed my life. [Laughs] When we learned songs from Buddy Holly, The Everly Brothers, and Elvis, girls loved us!

What kind of influence did the Beatles have on The Hollies, and how did they open doors for bands such as yours? Here’s what was going on. If you draw a line across the middle of England, everybody south of that line spoke the King’s English as it was at that point. Very proper. Very posh. Everybody north of that line was considered to be peasants. When the Beatles first hit with their first song “Love Me Do,” everybody in London started to talk with a Liverpool accent because it was so cool. Record companies sent all their A&R [artists and repertoire] people up to the north to check it out. One day, The Hollies were playing an afternoon show at The Cavern [Club] in Liverpool, and one of the A&R men who was a partner of George Martin, called Ron Richards,

saw us, loved us and invited us to EMI to record. And we never looked back.

How did you come to meet Cass Elliot [Mama Cass] who became a friend of yours and introduced you to David Crosby who then introduced you to Stephen Stills? (Nash explained that The Hollies were thrown a party by their record company in L.A. where he met Rodney Bingenheimer who later became a famed disc jockey on the L.A. rock station KROQ.) Everyone was standing around with a plastic glass of cheap wine trying to figure out what the name of the promoter’s wife was. You know, one of those kinds of meetings. Toward the end, this 15-yearold kid [Bingenheimer] comes up to us. He knows everything about The Hollies – all the records, all the B-sides. He asked what I was doing after the party. He said he had some friends [The Mamas & the Papas] recording down the street and he thought I’d want to go see an American recording studio. (John Phillips, Denny Doherty and Michelle Phillips were in the studio recording. Cass Elliot was standing outside in the hallway when Nash was introduced to her.) She [Elliot] asked me, “What do you think John Lennon would think of our music?” I said, “Well, knowing John a little, he would probably put you down at first and keep you at arm’s length until he trusted you and let you in his inner circle.” I looked up, and she was crying her eyes out. I thought, “Holy s***, I’ve only met this woman for 10 minutes, and she’s crying.” I didn’t realize that she had a crush on John. I straightened it out because

I’m an English gentleman, and she asked me what I was doing later. I said, “Wow, you American people always want to know what the f*** we’re doing later!” (Elliot picked Nash up the following day in her Porsche convertible and took him to meet “a friend of hers” who lived in an unfurnished apartment that contained a guitar, a sound system and a barefoot David Crosby.) Here was this kid in a blue and white striped T-shirt, a pair of jeans, no shoes, no socks and no furniture in the apartment. He didn’t know who I was. We smoked a lot of dope – to be very frank with you – and we became friends. He told me if I ever met this woman called Joni Mitchell to tell her that I am friends with “David,” and she’d talk to me. So, cut to Ottawa in early ’67. The Hollies are playing there. Once again, there was a party afterward with the promoters and cheap wine, and my tour manager, Robby [Robert] Britton, was talking constantly in my ear. I kept telling him, “Robby, please shut up. I’m trying to catch the eye of this beautiful woman across the hall here.” And he said, “If you’d only listen to me, I’m trying to tell you that her name is Joni Mitchell, and she wants to meet you.” And that’s when I met Joan [Joni].

You each brought your own skillsets and talent to the table, but what was it about you, Crosby and Stills that made CSN so incredible and unforgettable? I think it was the combination of our musical styles. I had been trained by the Hollies to be able to write melodies that you couldn’t forget if you heard them

twice. Stephen had this blues kind of base of his music, and David was a jazz guy. And he had all these weird tunings and different time signatures. I think it’s the combination of those three kinds of music with the songs that we had that made it so big.

You have launched a new album, “Over the Years,” a 30-song compilation of your best-known songs and more than a dozen previously unreleased demos and alternative mixes. What is the story behind “Myself at Last”? The story is this: It sounds strange to sometimes hear it, but sometimes you go on the road to lose yourself. A lady that I met called Amy Grantham, who actually became my wife a few months ago, helped me find myself again. You see, the worst thing you can do to an artist is to give them self-doubt. We’re sensitives, and if somebody puts you down, you think about it for days and what you can do to put it right. And she made me realize that I was worth a s***. Maybe it’s strange after all this time to question myself, and quite frankly, I’m still waiting to get found out. I don’t understand why this kid from the north of England is in this beautiful apartment in NYC with a beautiful wife and an unlimited future. I don’t know why I’m here. It’s strange, yeah?

You’ve said that you enjoy playing more intimate venues these days. Why? That’s correct. When they [the audience] is 10 feet in front of me, I can see them smiling. That communication is very important to me right now. I want my people to know two things: One, and most importantly, I want to be there to make music for them. I sing the same songs that I’ve sung thousands of times with the same passion because I owe it to my audience. The second thing is I want to see them smiling on their way out, so I know I’ve done my job.

Pu t t i n’ o n th e Ritz f o r t he

Carmel Symphony Orchestra Writer // Janelle Morrison • Photography // Kim Kiely and submitted

Who’s ready to put away the bulky winter gear and break out some bright and bold spring fashion? Why not join the Carmel Symphony Orchestra (CSO) League at the Annual Spring Luncheon and Fashion Show at the Ritz Charles in Carmel on April 9 and help support CSO’s education programs while previewing the season’s latest fashion trends?

A

ttendees will be treated to a delightful program, including a fashion show presented by Lilly’s Wearable Art Studio. For those who know its owner and fashion maven, Joan Carney, you already know how Carney specialized in bringing timeless fashions to the Indiana scene designed and created from all over the globe.

The CSO League is the auxiliary group that supports the CSO and advocates for the organization. This group of selfless women organizes the annual luncheon that benefits CSO’s education programs as well as a myriad of other supportive initiatives that they oversee. The League does everything from providing food for the orchestra’s performing musicians and organizing

fundraisers to selling tickets and assisting with providing the cash prize for the CSO Young Artist Competition. The CSO League President Sandra Pirkle, along with fellow League members and event chairs Sue Britton and Barbara Crawford, explained why it is important for the League to support the orchestra and why in turn the League needs the communi-

ty’s support. “We are the cheerleaders of the CSO,” Crawford said. “We have a wonderful League, and it’s a good way to meet people and work together for a common cause. We try to spread the word and sell tickets to support the orchestra and its programs.” Britton added, “I feel like I am a PR person for music. I so enjoy the orchestra, and it is

26

so wonderful to hear all these people get together and transmit this beautiful sound. I am very lost for two hours while I’m there. It is my escape.” CSO’s education programs are designed to immerse people of all ages and socioeconomic backgrounds to music and to the art of grace. “What drew me to this is the League supports the symphony in their efforts to bring music to children and to young adults. As a former educator, I feel that music is a universal language. Carmel is such a diverse community, and everyone comes together with one common thread that happens to be music.” How can you get involved and help the CSO League? Buy tickets to the upcoming luncheon and/or become a sponsor or volunteer. CSO’s programs include the annual Family Fun! experience where children get to experiment with different orchestral instruments and learn concert manners as well as the CSO Young Artist competition that has encouraged and afforded student musicians from Indiana the opportunity to compete with their peers at the highest level of artistic excellence for nearly four decades. CSO Music Director and nationally renowned conductor Janna Hymes shared her appreciation for the ladies of the CSO League and what people may not know about CSO. “Orchestras, over the last 100 years or more, have had a group of volunteers that donate their time because they simply believe in the product,” Hymes said. “When you look at the 1900s, orchestras like

Boston and New York have always had these incredible groups [of women] who have been instrumental in the social aspects of the orchestra and in getting the word out in creative and fun ways. Their prime purpose has been to raise money for the orchestras. Carmel is unique in the sense that the community is incredibly supportive of education and of its youth. It’s so wholesome, and I think that music plays a part in the community.” Hymes concluded, “The [League] women are so fantastic, and they are always out there supporting what we [the orchestra] are doing, fundraising throughout the year and getting the word out on our behalf. I am always so grateful for all that they do, and they are essential to us being successful. I think that the public should know that we are expanding our repertoire. Our last few concerts have not been the typical orchestral music that one would expect. We have played a mandolin concerto. We did Pedcor Pops that had a lot of American patriotic music and the Wright Brothers and Jenny DeVoe. We’re trying to spread out a little and make this orchestra not just for Carmel but for all the northern part of the greater Indianapolis area.” To purchase tickets to the Annual Spring Luncheon and Fashion Show, contact the CSO office at 317-844-9717 or email Barbara Crawford at bgcrawford7@ gmail.com or Sandra Pirkle at skpirkle@indy.rr.com.

Mark your calendars for the inaugural OCTANE: THE HANGAR CELEBRATION OF HOPE to support the incredible work of Colby & Cate’s Charities. This premium automotive event will take place Friday, May 10 from 7-11 p.m. for an unforgettable evening of wheels, wings and children’s wellness.

CTANE will be hosted in a worldclass First Wing Jet Center at the Indianapolis Executive Airport in Zionsville.

Colby & Cate’s Charities, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in central Indiana whose passion is helping children who were not fortunate enough to have been blessed with a healthy childhood or have sustained a life-altering or life-threatening injury. Its mission is to enhance the lives of chronically and critically ill or injured children by providing them with memorable experiences and providing funds for both

It was an amazing feeling.” research and recreational items to organizations that serve them. John Leonard, co-founder of OCTANE, is no stranger to fundraising in Hamilton and surrounding counties. He is also the co-founder of Artomobilia and Fuelicious – both are high-end automotive events that serve as fund-

and I went to our friends’ 1-year-old’s birthday party, and like everybody there, we spent between $30-$50 on this 1-year-old. There were oohs and aahs as everybody sat around, and the parents were writing down what everybody got [for their 1-year-old].” That experience impacted the Lutzes in such a way that

raisers for local charitable organizations. Leonard teamed up with Matt Lutz and his family [founders of Colby & Cate’s Charities] for the inaugural OCTANE as a way to increase awareness for the charity and raise funds for future experiences similar to the one in March, where Colby & Cate”s Charities is taking eight pediatric oncology patients to Aspen, Colorado, for a weeklong adaptive ski camp. “Colby & Cate’s Charities was officially formed in 2011, but we started our fundraising efforts in 2002,” shared Lutz. “It started when my wife (Amy)

they decided that in lieu of hosting a traditional birthday party for their own two children, they wanted to do something that would make the “ordinary event extraordinary.” “We left [the party] feeling empty,” Lutz recalled. “Our kids, while we’re not wealthy, don’t need. They might want, but they don’t need. We decided that we would contact an organization and ask what we could do. We reached out to Riley Hospital for Children and asked what they needed down there. They got back to us and sent a list of what they needed.”

The Lutzes sent the list out with invites to their son’s (Colby) birthday party and asked for the items in lieu of gifts for their son. The party eventually became an annual “Birthday Bash” held in the Lutzes backyard and throughout their street – a rather large block party if you will. “It was an amazing response the first year,” Lutz said. “We took an SUV full of stuff down there [Riley], and it was the best feeling we’ve had second to the births of our children and our wedding. It was an amazing feeling.” Fast forward, the Lutzes established Colby & Cate’s Charities and continue to host the Birthday Bash in August in honor of their children’s birthdays (which are a day apart from one another). Over the years, they have raised nearly $800,000, which has been donated to Riley, Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital, Indiana Children’s Wish Fund and Make-A-Wish Foundation. The charity has also supported organizations like Second Helpings by purchasing suites to experiences (concerts, etc.) at its fundraising events and then using the suite on Colby & Cate’s weekend experiences, coupled with a limo, hotel, meals, etc., for children with life-threatening and life-altering conditions. “Matt and I met, and I’ve actually attended one of his Birthday Bashes,” Leonard

said. “It’s a great event, but what do you do if you want to do more than host a party in your backyard? You change the venue. I suggested to Matt that we have a ‘hanger party’ with a bunch of cars and some jets. So, the OCTANE event is about taking the goodwill of this charity and pairing it with car enthusiasts, cars and planes, and the Indianapolis Executive Airport is the perfect venue for that.” Leonard shared that the goal this year is to bring 1,000 people to the hanger to enjoy catered plates by several area restaurants, 50 cars from private collections and local high-end dealers, planes and jets along with different kinds of entertainment and auctions with a focus on trips as close to Chicago and as far as Europe, all with the intention of raising money for Colby & Cate’s Charities. But that’s not all – attendees at OCTANE will enjoy an open bar featuring specialty drinks from the best premium brands and incredible flight and racing simulators that will transport you onto the race track or into the sky! Reserve your tickets for the inaugural OCTANE and make a difference in the lives of Hoosier children. For event details and ticket information, visit octaneindy.com.

Zionsville Eagles Football Welcomes

Coach Scott Turnquist Back to the Field

Last month, the Zionsville School Board of Trustees approved Zionsville resident Scott Turnquist as the new leader of the ZCHS football program. This designation comes after former ZCHS Football Coach Pat Echeverria accepted the head coach position at his alma mater, Pike High School, in January. Writer // Janelle Morrison • Photography // Theresa Skutt and submitted

T

urnquist has been the offensive coordinator at Carmel High School reporting under Head Coach John Hebert, but he is no stranger to the Zionsville community and school athletic programs. Turnquist coached at ZCHS under former Head Coach Larry McWhorter, and before that, he was a permanent substitute teacher at Stonegate Elementary where his children currently attend. Turnquist and his wife, Lacy, have lived in Zionsville since 2006. “I’m originally from Billings, Montana,” Turnquist said. “I played at Montana

State University as a receiver. We relocated to Indiana with my wife’s job, and my first ‘official’ job here, I worked at a summer camp at the Benjamin Harrison YMCA over in Lawrence Township. We lived on 56th Street next to the Colts Complex.” Turnquist began substitute teaching in area school districts and submitted emails inquiring about available coaching positions. “I got a response back from Zionsville that led to me getting a coaching job, a substitute teaching job at Stonegate and eventually an IA [instructional assistant] position at the high school,”

Turnquist said. “My kids think that it’s hysterical that I taught at Stonegate where they go to school.” He coached at Zionsville from 2005 until 2010 and taught from 2006 until 2010. “I went to Carmel due to the reduction of force [at Zionsville], and it was a great learning experience for me,” Turnquist stated. “My experience at Carmel has been phenomenal and a tremendous growth opportunity for me. The relationships that I’ve made with the staff, students and faculty will always be near and dear to me. It’s a special place, and I would not be where I am today had I not worked for that school district and the football and track programs as well.” Turnquist shared that he was able to experience football in Carmel where the expectations are “extremely high” and the level of performance is equally as high. “I will carry that experience over,” he said. “I know what it takes to play at a championship level, but I also know that it doesn’t just happen on the field. There are a lot of things that have to happen off the field – in the classroom, weight room and in the community. All those things matter to have a great and well-rounded program, which is what we all want. We can’t just focus on football. We want to develop kids outside of that as well.” As ZCS enrollment continues to grow and the football team grows proportionately along with it, Turnquist understands how to bring his big school mentality and modify it to help his growing team. “There are some things that you can do at a school as big as Carmel that doesn’t work everywhere else,” he explained. “But you can take the standards and themes and apply them anywhere. Ultimately, [as coaches], it’s about building relationships with kids and working to make it as well-rounded of an experience as possible. The kids are learning lessons from being a part of

a team and program that are applicable throughout life.” While the safety of the players is usually the priority of the players’ parents and coaches, Turnquist emphasized that the safety of his players and proper instruction is always at the forefront of his coaching technique. “While you’re never going to completely eliminate injury from a game like football, we’re going to do everything we can to coach great technique and coach kids to think the right way – from the very beginning all the way through this football program,” Turnquist said. “They [the players] are going to learn how to tackle using the safest techniques that we can possibly find. We are constantly researching what those are and looking for ways to make the game safer. We want to make sure that the kids have an opportunity to play what I consider to be the greatest game in the world.” When asked if Zionsville’s recent enrollment into IHSAA’s Class 6A would have any drastic effect on how he and his coaches direct the program, Turnquist replied, “No, I don’t think it will to be honest with you. Certainly, there is that mystique about 6A when you go into it, but that doesn’t change anything for us until we get in the playoffs. In my opinion, it’s about holding ourselves to our own standard. That is the key [to success]. Zionsville has been playing in 5A, and the competition in that class is fantastic as well. It’s not a monstrous change in terms of the teams that you’re playing. You’re

still playing in the HCC [Hoosier Crossroads Conference], which is one of the best conferences in the state – the best in the Midwest for that matter.” As Turnquist completes his transition from Carmel back to Zionsville, he said his primary focus is going to be on establishing relationships with the students and staff. “I want to make sure they understand where I am coming from,” he said. “I want to get a feel for who they are. We will work through the off-season weight room program and the leadership development. I will focus on rounding out the coaching staff – that is a big part of my job. I am focusing on getting my feet on the ground and making sure that I’m on

top of everything that a head coach is responsible for.” Turnquist shared a few things he would like for his fellow Eagles to know about him and how important, he feels, the community’s support is to sports programs. “I’m all in here at Zionsville,” he proclaimed. “This is a place that I’m proud of, and you’re going to get the very best that I have. I’m not going to guarantee anything, but I know that whatever is going to be put on the field is going to be the best that we can do. I will make sure that the kids are doing things the right way – on and off the field. [My staff and I] are holding them and ourselves to a very high standard. I would like for the community to know that I believe that high school sports can be such a rallying point for the community. To have the support of the local businesses alongside the community members is such an important thing, and it brings so much value to our programs. I believe it enhances the experience for the student-athlete when they see the support from the community. It lets them know that people enjoy what they’re doing and appreciate the hard work that they put in.” Turnquist expressed his appreciation for the Zionsville community and his excitement to return to a program that he is quite passionate about. “Zionsville is home,” he said with conviction. “We’ve made our home here, and this is where I want to be. I love this community. The quality of the people, the students and the faculty here is fantastic.”

The Library is Sparking Imaginations this Spring and Summer Writer // Janelle Morrison • Photography // Courtesy of the Zionsville Library and Iden Ford

The Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Public Library (HMMPL) is all about sparking the imaginations of not just children but adults these spring and summer seasons. HMMPL is adding more services and programs to its already expansive menu after an incredibly successful 2018, a record-breaking year in fact.

V

irginia Hilbert, HMMPL marketing director, sat down and shared with us the great news as well as what’s coming up on deck for children and adults the first half of the calendar year. “The library had a record-breaking year in 2018,” Hilbert exclaimed. “We had the highest circulation in the library’s history: 526,957 items circulated. That included physical books and everything inside of the library as well as items available online. We had 212,823 visits to the library. That’s an average of eight visits per resident. And we had 31,993 program attend-

ees, another record breaker for people who attended our library events.” In other related news, HMMPL won a grant from Indiana Humanities, the Novel Conversations grant, which has enabled the library to bring in guest author Lori Rader-Day. Rader-Day is a Boone County native who currently resides in Chicago. She will be speaking about one of her most recent novels, “Under a Dark Sky,” an Edgar Award-nominated novel. Day has been quoted as saying, “Originally from central Indiana, I grew up frequenting the local libraries, reading all the Beverly Cleary, Judy Blume and Lois

Duncan I could get my hands on.” Rader-Day is a member of Mystery Writers of America and International Thriller Writers and is a co-chair with publicist Dana Kaye of Murder and Mayhem in Chicago, a one-day mystery readers’ conference. Hilbert encouraged members of the library and community who are interested in attending this program on Thursday, May 30 to check the website and newsletter for programming that will coincide with Rader-Day’s visit to HMMPL. Many members have already experienced the library’s latest service, auto-


matic renewals, that rolled out last month as an added convenience for cardholders. “Items that have been checked out are automatically renewed if a renewal is available, and there is not a hold on an item,” Hilbert said. “On the due date, the customer will receive an email notifying he/she that the items have been automatically renewed and will indicate the new due date. If an item is not available for renewal, the email will instruct the individual to return the item at their earliest convenience.” As part of HMMPL’s ongoing collaborative efforts with community organizations such as Zionsville Community Schools, the library is teaming up with the Zion Nature Center for Zionsville Citizen Science Day on Saturday, April 13. The event will take place at both

HMMPL and Zion Nature Center. Zionsville Citizen Science Day is open to all ages. Participants will partner with scientists to answer real-world questions and will work citizen science projects that are related to the environment while having fun exploring and collecting data. If your church, school or community organization has a collaborative idea that you would like to work on with HMMPL, contact the library at askalib@ zionsvillelibrary.org. Finally, the library has issued its annual callout for the Teen Volunteer Corps for summer 2019. This program is geared for students sixth through 12th grade and college.

“It is a popular program,” Hilbert emphasized. “Spaces are limited, so students are encouraged to apply as early as possible. The teen volunteers help with the summer reading program, on the floor helping customers and are doing things behind the scenes. It’s a great opportunity.” The Teen Volunteer Corps participants will hand out Summer Reading prizes, set up and help during programs and assist library staff and community members while getting involved and feeling good about giving back. Applications will be accepted now through Monday, April 18. Again, due to the popularity of this program, applicants are encouraged to apply as early as possible.

Singing in Solidarity with the

Support of the Community Writer // Janelle Morrison • Photography // Scott Clark and Tracy Pannunzio

While the show choir family has historically been a tight-knit group, the ZCHS Show Choirs rely on the support of the entire Zionsville community as well for its unbelievable success. As a show of our commitment to support our youth, we’re taking this time to highlight these students and congratulate them, as an entire community, for their dedication to excellence and to the performing arts.

T

he show choir competition season is well underway, and the two ZCHS show choirs, Royalaires and Choralaires are enjoying a successful run of achievements under the direction of Aaron Coates and Deana Broge. “The 2019 competition season is off to a wonderful start,” Broge exclaimed. “The

students battled through mother nature’s crazy January weather and worked very hard to be ready for the first competition at Pike High School on February 9th.” Just last month, ZCHS show choirs, supported by student instrumentalists and crew, competed at the Franklin Central Hoosier Show Choir Class. Both Royalaires and

ZIONSVILLE MONTHLY

Zionsville_2019March_Showchoirs.indd 1

Choralaires were recognized as the Grand Champion in their respective divisions. At the time of publication, the show choirs were preparing for the competition at North Central. While it takes the support of each other, their families, directors and faculty to obtain success at any level, the show choir students rely on the support of their peers and of us, residents and business owners, as well. “The community of Zionsville has been and continues to be extremely supportive of the performing arts,” Broge emphasized. “We could not afford our students so many wonderful opportunities without their support. Our families, friends and local

businesses all work together to help Zionsville Show Choirs be successful each year.” ZCHS Senior/Choralaire, Cynthia Kauffman, added, “The Zionsville Show Choirs are so beyond blessed to have such a large community that supports us and cheers us on. From the crew dads and costume moms to the siblings and friends that attend competitions, we would not be able to be our best without them. Spending hours rehearsing and working hard all pays off when we see them and all they do for us. We are so thankful for everyone that has helped us on our journey during this competition season.” Another ZCHS Senior/Choralaire, Sam Parker concluded, “It has been awesome to see the hard work of the team pay off thus far. We have put in countless hours of rehearsal in order to perfect our show and are continuing to do so to make it even better. We would not be able to do what we do without the direction Mr. Coates and Mrs. Broge. They have pushed everyone to become the best performer and teammate they can be and are the greatest component of our success.” Come support these students and see them in person at the Finale performance of the 2018-19 season on May 10 and 11, 2019.
