Finally! A Homecoming Queen

You might remember me. I graced this page once before—exactly one year ago for the spring 2012 issue of SOUTH. At the time, I still had my maiden name, Sherri Cullison, and I was filling in for editor Kelsey DeClue during her maternity leave. Well, things have changed in the past year. I married last July and took a new last name, and Kelsey’s and my job responsibilities around the Home News Enterprises offices have switched up a bit.

I was previously the editor of NORTH magazine, a sister publication to SOUTH. Over the past year, the leaders at Home News decided it was time to cease publication of NORTH and refocus their energies and efforts on SOUTH, as well as several of our other thriving publications. Because of these decisions, Kelsey and I took on some new and exciting responsibilities around the offices, and one of the changes involved me taking over editorial duties for SOUTH. Welcome home to me!

What you might not know is that I am a native of the southside. A graduate of Southport High School’s Class of 1990, I flew the Indiana coop the day after I graduated from Indiana University’s School of Journalism in Bloomington and headed east for New York City. I lived in the Big Apple for about five years before returning to the Midwest to live in Columbus, Ohio, for approximately five years and then heading back to Indiana in 2004. When I came home, I knew I was here to stay.

As an adult, I’ve fallen in love with this state, with its people, with its character and class, and I cherish the opportunities that I have to celebrate my Hoosier

heritage with each new publication that we create.

And this issue is no exception.

This edition of SOUTH offers glimpses into the lives of several southside movers and shakers (and bakers). Get to know University of Indianapolis’ Harry Miedema (p. 70), PGA President Ted Bishop (p. 78), and Cindy Rene, co-owner of the well-known Long’s Bakery (p.28), to name a few.

And for those of you who knew me in high school, you may remember me as being far from homecoming queen material. That’s OK. As of this issue, I’m crowning myself with the title, and I can say, without a doubt, it feels good to be home.

Patty Coulter presents her artwork at Mallow Run Winery.

A Floral Flavor Greenwood artist Patty Coulter recently snagged an unusual prize from the Greater Greenwood Arts Council (GGAC). Her “Coneflowers,” a watercolor painting, was selected to appear on the label of Mallow Run Winery’s new pinot grigio.

It’s the first release in the winery’s Impression series, which promotes up-and-coming local artists and provides financial support to the GGAC — about $1.50 per bottle sold. “That painting was so beautiful to look at and represented Indiana so well,” said Sarah Shadday, the winery’s marketing and wholesale coordinator. “We made the label afterward to mimic some of the colors in it, and it really stood out and was such a beautiful look on the bottle.” The Impression pinot grigio is a limited release of about 400 cases, but Shadday said the winery plans to release a new Impression wine — and highlight another local artist — each year.

The returned trailer, left. First post-theft camporee, above.

Q&A

James Castellano,

assistant scoutmaster, Greenwood Troop 621 Greenwood Boy Scout Troop 621 spent years

raising money for a new trailer to store its camping equipment, such as tents, tarps and cooking supplies. But in November, the trailer and its contents were stolen from the parking lot of American Legion Post 252, the troop’s sponsor organization. In desperation, the troop turned to the media for help tracking down the trailer — and after it had been found, for help getting the damaged trailer out of an impound lot. As the troop gears up for camping season, SOUTH magazine checked in to see whether this year’s camporees can be saved.

Your troop has about 50 members.

How did the boys respond to the theft at first?

There were a lot of mixed feelings among the boys. Some were really angry, and some were in disbelief, and some asked if they had to move to other troops because we didn’t have the equipment anymore.

Last we heard, the trailer had been found but was stuck in a police impound lot because the vehicle identification number had been removed. What’s the status now?

We got it out that day. It was kind of miraculous that when that news story aired, (the workers at the impound lot) suddenly rethought their thinking and released it to us.

You’ve filed a claim with the insurance company for damage to the trailer itself, but what about the camping equipment? How can the community help get the boys ready for camping season?

The donations we’ve already received will go a long way toward making up the difference. When we first went on the news, we were only trying to get help finding it. I figured somebody had to see somebody on the road driving this trailer, but I didn’t expect the outpouring of support and donations. [The troop attended its first post-theft camporee in January, fully equipped.]

Round and round we go

Carmel is the undisputed central Indiana leader in roundabouts, with more than 60 and counting. But Johnson County is catching onto the trend. The county now has two roundabouts, one at Whiteland Road and County Road 144 and one at Fairview and Morgantown roads (not counting the small roundabouts in subdivisions or the parking lot roundabout at Greenwood Park Mall). Another is planned this year for the intersection of Morgantown and Whiteland roads, and it’s likely that more will follow, said Luke Mastin, director of the Johnson County Highway Department.

“When we look at doing intersection improvement projects, roundabouts are definitely one of the options we look at now,” he said.

Why the switch? First, accidents in roundabouts occur less often and tend to be less severe than those in traditional intersections: Your car might get dinged as you merge, but you won’t get smashed up by a careless driver racing through a red light. Roundabouts also offer lower maintenance costs and smoother traffic flows — or at least they will, when we all figure out how to use them.

tidbits Greenwood officials will soon have a new home.

The city has purchased the Presnell Building, a prominent downtown property that had been in foreclosure. After extensive renovations, all city offices will relocate to the building by the end of this year — hopefully boosting downtown Greenwood’s revitalization efforts.

The nonprofit 66 Water Street Arts Café, a collaboration between the city of Franklin and Franklin College, is now serving your favorite caffeinated brew. The café offers private meeting space and a student art gallery, and it serves a limited menu provided by Athens Restaurant, Don and Dona’s Restaurant and Benjamin’s Coffeehouse.

“Moonwalking with Einstein”

by Joshua Foer In “Moonwalking with Einstein,” Joshua Foer enlists the help of top mental athletes and psychologists to explore how our brains work and how we can use that knowledge to improve our memories. Tricks like mnemonic devices and visualization have turned memorizing information into a competitive sport. In Europe and the United States, there are annual memory championships where participants compete in challenges such as memorizing the order of a shuffled deck of cards in just a few minutes. While winning a national memory competition may not be the goal of many of us, the tricks they use can be quite helpful in everyday life.

Informative, fascinating and at times quite funny, this is an enjoyable read that I highly recommend.

“Sweet Tooth”

by Tana French

Ian McEwan’s character Serena Frome lands a job in the MI5, a branch of the British secret service, after a summer of grooming and a love affair with an older man. The book is set in Britain of the early ’70s, amid war, terrorism and an economic depression. Serena finds herself at the very bottom of the MI5 ladder with uninteresting work, but she aims to please her superiors. Eventually, she lands a special mission, called Sweet Tooth, with the young professor and writer Tom Healey as her focus.

“Sweet Tooth” is a smooth novel with plenty of musings about writing and the politics of the time. McEwan’s masterful prose makes it easy to soak up Serena’s world, but be warned: The book opens with a spoiler. “Within eighteen months of joining I was sacked, having disgraced myself and my ruined lover, though he certainly had a hand in his own undoing.”

You’d think this might not make for a grand finale, but this is “Sweet Tooth,” and McEwan still manages to create a very delicious ending.

Broken Harbor, now called Brainstown, is a half-finished, nearly deserted housing development outside Dublin. Murder Squad’s Detective Mick “Scorcher” Kennedy is sent to this suburban wasteland to investigate the brutal attack on a family that left a father and his two children dead and a mother in critical condition. At first Kennedy and his rookie partner, Richie, think this is a simple case with the father to blame, but of course it isn’t as simple as it seems.

The detective’s troubled personal life is a welcome sub-story, with his past ties to Broken Harbor putting further strain on an already bizarre and tragic case. Author Tana French takes us on quite a ride as her character attempts to find the real killer in this procedural and psychological thriller.

taste All You’ll Ever Knead Admit it: the smell of freshly baked bread wafting through the air is enough to pull you through any bakery storefront.

Those artfully arranged display cases can tempt even the steeliest of resolves, and why shouldn’t they? Baking is the science that fills bellies and brings smiles to the masses. And here on the southside, we like our treats every which way: sweet, savory, topped with frosting, sprinkled with herbs and—always— made with love.

Goodies Cupcakery

Laura Goodlet’s cupcake bakery in New Whiteland is a place that, even in her words, “radiates happiness.”

Greeted by the sugary-sweet smell of freshly baked cookies and cupcakes, Goodies Cupcakery specializes in, yes, cupcakes. More than 40 flavors of them, in fact.

She and her husband, Zach, started experimenting in the kitchen making cupcakes 10 years ago. After an unexpected separation from her company, the Goodlets decided to start selling their beloved cupcakes for a living. “Instead of hoping to find a job, we created our own,” she says.

After remodeling their current New Whiteland location, the idea took off, one cupcake at a time. “We developed and enriched our recipes to make them just right,” she says. Top sellers include the Chocolate Thunda, a dark chocolate cupcake with truffle frosting, and the Fauxstess—a nod to the Hostess creamfilled version. But it doesn’t stop there.

“We also make petit fours, brownies, cookies, fresh fruit Bavarian cream tarts, cake pops, cheesecakes and more,” Goodlet says. In the spring months, she loves incorporating fresh, local fruit into her menu. Keep an eye out for the strawberry shortcake—you won’t be disappointed. 301 N. U.S. 31, New Whiteland, (317) 300-8333.

Amazing Cakes of Indy Specializing in wedding cakes—and spectacular ones at that—Millie Green puts her years of experience into practice every day at her well-known bakery. She opened shop in 1994 and began making intricate, custom cakes for Indy’s southside. “Wedding cakes are our specialty, but we also do a lot of high-end birthday cakes and cakes for other special occasions,” Green says.

Her repertoire includes multi-layered and sculpted cakes, many of which are expertly crafted using rolled fondant to make a smooth finish and canvas for decoration. “We have 30 flavors to choose from, but I’d say the most popular choice is our white cake with raspberry.” And those with food allergies or special diets, don’t fear—Amazing Cakes can accommodate you, too.

Green’s expertise has opened some exciting opportunities along the way. “I’ve gotten to judge TV cake shows all over the country,” she says, most notably for the Food Network.

She also belongs to the International Cake Exploration Society, where she served as president for two years.

“Here, our quality is top-notch,” says Green. “We’re very particular about the finished product. It should taste as good as it looks!” 4102 S. Madison Ave., Indianapolis, 46227, amazingcakesofindy.com, (317) 782-0660.

Cayla Childs prepares doughnut holes.

Long’s Donuts Now in its third generation of ownership, Long’s Donuts has built a name for itself that conjures thoughts of airy, melt-in-your-mouth doughnuts. “Our recipes are the exact same recipes that my grandfather, Carl Long, used to make 57 years ago when he opened his bakery on 16th Street,” says Cindy Rene.

She and her husband, along with her two brothers, now run the legendary bakery, which has two locations—one in Speedway and one on Southport Road. “Every baked good is made from scratch and without preservatives, just the way you would make it in your own kitchen,” Rene explains. “We produce our doughnuts all day long so the doughnuts you’re getting at 8 at night are just as fresh as the ones you get at 5:30 in the morning.” The customer favorite is, naturally, the yeast doughnuts. “We don’t even bother putting them on trays in the cases,” Rene says. “They sell out too quickly!”

If you manage to tear yourself away from the doughnuts, Long’s offers lots more by way of sweet treats. Brownies, eclairs, Danish rolls, cookies, pies and cakes are all in daily rotation. Some quick rules for newcomers: Don’t forget to bring cash (“It keeps the costs down for our customers,” Rene says) and don’t be daunted if you see a line to the cash register, as it moves at an impressive speed. 2301 E. Southport Road, Indianapolis, 46227, (317) 783-1442.

Amelia’s

Semolina bread bakes in an oven that first steams it to provide a crisp crust, then bakes it slowly. Below left, Charlie McIntosh removes baked loaves from the oven; below, he places "city loaves" that have risen overnight onto a rack for baking.

A joint effort by uncle and nephew team Tom Battista and Charlie McIntosh, this Italian-influenced bakery got its start last June. Tucked inside Fletcher Place’s Bluebeard restaurant, Amelia’s was named for the first woman in their family to come to the U.S. from Italy. McIntosh has no shortage of training when it comes to baking. “I attended the King Arthur Baking Education Center in Vermont, the San Francisco Baking Institute and apprenticed at the Blue Dog Bakery in Louisville,” he says.

His key to unbeatable bread? Using natural fermentation rather than commercial yeast. “The method does take more time,” he explains, “but in the case of bread, the more time you can give it, the more flavor it will have. Most breads bake free form, without a pan, and develop a substantial and flavorful crust with a soft, irregular crumb.”

Amelia’s offers a variety of loaves, all baked fresh daily. Popular sellers are the semolina (made with durum flour and coated with poppy, sesame and fennel seeds), focaccia (coated with fresh garlic and herbs) and cranberrywalnut sourdough. You can purchase Amelia’s bread at the Indy Winter Farmers Market or by calling the store to place an order. 653 Virginia Ave., Indianapolis, 46203, ameliasbread.com, (317) 686-1582.

taste Bake your Best

Kim Beaty-Nowacki of Cupcakes and Cookies by Kim shares her top baking tips when it comes to just-right cookies.

Kim Beaty-Nowacki

Use the best-quality ingredients possible. Use pure, Madagascar vanilla (steer clear of imitation vanilla) and the most flavorful chocolate you can find. I like Valrhona, Ghirardelli and Callebaut.

30

Sift, sift, sift! It’s so important to sift your ingredients together to avoid uneven distribution in your final product.

Bring your butter and eggs to room temperature. It makes a big difference in how your ingredients come together when mixing.

Let your cookie sheet(s) cool between batches. If you put unbaked cookies on a hot or warm cookie sheet, they’ll start baking even before you put them in the oven, which is a recipe for unevenly baked confections.

Invest in an adjustable rolling pin. You can easily set the rolling depth so your cookies are always the perfect thickness.

Kim’s Sugar Cookies Cupcakes and Cookies

by Kim, beatycakes.com ingredients

1 cup (two sticks) real, unsalted butter, softened

Original Italian Ice Cream

1½ cups confectioner’s sugar, sifted 1 egg (at room temperature) 3 teaspoons Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla 2¾ cups all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon finely ground sea salt directions

Cream together softened butter and confectioner’s sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer. Crack the egg into a separate bowl, add the vanilla and whisk lightly until incorporated. Slowly add the egg/vanilla to the butter/sugar mixture and mix until the egg is thoroughly incorporated.

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt, then add little by little to the mixture. You can tell the dough is ready when most of it sticks to the paddle, but not your fingers.

Roll out your dough to about ¼-inch thickness and use confectioner’s sugar for dusting as needed. Cut out your cookies and place about an inch apart on your cookie sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 7 minutes.

This recipe will yield 2 to 2½ dozen cookies.

Look no further than Mallow Run Winery’s Pink Moscato, a welcome complement to any appetizer or dessert. “It’s delicately sweet (with) lots of strawberry and watermelon aromas,” says Sarah Shadday, marketing coordinator. “All those bubbles cut the sweetness a bit, making it light and fresh.” You can stop by the winery’s Tasting Room to try a sample or take home a bottle to share with friends for $13.97.

Newcomer Beefcake Burgers has opened its doors in Greenwood as an “all-American burger shack.” Owner Ric Payne isn’t new to the restaurant scene, having previously opened the Wild Beaver Saloon and McGilvery’s Pub and Eatery. “I wanted to build a local neighborhood place where people can go for a good burger, that’s familyfriendly, affordable and close to all the rooftops in this area,” Payne says.

The location will serve hamburgers stacked with multiple beef patties, starting with two (“The Double”) and maxing out at five patties (“Grab the Bull by the Horns”). The menu also includes tenderloin sandwiches, BLTs, hot dogs, hand-spun milkshakes and children’s selections. 1642 S. Olive Branch Park, Greenwood, (317) 215-4192. www. beefcakeburgers.com

We all know maple syrup—it’s a staple in many of our kitchens—but what about shagbark syrup? Unlike maple, which is made from the sap inside trees, shagbark syrup is made from extracting the flavors of the actual bark from shagbark hickory trees. Gordon Jones of Trafalgar’s Hickoryworks is one of the only producers of shagbark syrup in the world, garnering attention from the Food Network and several well-known chefs across the country for its unique flavor. Use it in place of maple syrup for your favorite dishes, but don’t expect the same taste. “It’s a different flavor entirely,” Jones says. “Smoky and nutty.”

Order Hickoryworks shagbark hickory syrup online in quantities ranging from single serving mini-bottles to gallon jugs. 3615 Peoga Road, Trafalgar, (317) 878-5648, www.hickoryworks.com.

But for those who want to bring an unexpected twist to the table this year, Smoking Goose owner Chris Eley suggests a few alternatives available at his Dorman Street meatery. “One of my favorite things to serve on Easter in place of a traditional lamb roast is rabbit in Rabbit Pot au Feu,” he says. “People always get a kick out of serving rabbit on Easter.”

The dish makes use of spring rabbits, hearty spring root vegetables and early green spring vegetables, he says, and can be done well in advance and served with little effort once family arrives.

Eley also recommends the City Ham, which he brines in sea salt and spices and then smokes over a blend of hickory and fruit woods. “We also offer our Berkshire sugar-cured hams for the Easter holiday.” Smoking Goose, 407 Dorman St., Indianapolis, 46202. www.smokinggoose.com

The Golden Age Colt Reichart will happily

interrupt any interview about his family’s business to discuss the do’s and don’ts of growing tomatoes on a backyard scale. “You can call me anytime you have questions about tomatoes,” he offers. After all, those sun-ripened fruits are his business. The fourth generation to enter the ranks of Red Gold Co., Reichart is the youngest now helping to run the show. His title—at the time of this particular interview—was new media manager, a job under which he handles the company’s social media efforts, public relations and company events. But Reichart says he and his brother, Beau, change jobs often in an effort to learn every aspect of the business. “I think my first job was sweeping the lab,” Colt said.

Reichart grew up in the business that his great-grandfather, Grover Hutcherson, began in 1942. Hutcherson, along with

his daughter, Fran, purchased a Midwest cannery, Orestes Canning, to provide canned foods for World War II troops. In the beginning, he produced whole peeled tomatoes and tomato puree. Fran Hutcherson Reichart and her husband, Ernie, assumed leadership in 1948, and around 1970, the company purchased the Red Gold label. The owners decided to change the company name and, at the same time, began expanding the product line by also selling tomato juice and ketchup.

In 1980, Ernie and Fran’s oldest son, Brian, became CEO and further grew the seasonal business to include year-round food service and contract packaging, which is headquartered in Elwood today.

Now Red Gold boasts approximately 1,300 full-time employees and offers more than 100 products that are distributed throughout the United States and 14 countries. In 10 years, Colt says his family hopes

to have made the Red Gold name a nationally known brand. He also hopes people understand that the company produces more than just ketchup. “I don’t know why everyone thinks of ketchup when they hear our name, but they do,” he said.

Paramount, though, is that people recognize Red Gold for its quality, regardless of its production lines. “We are a family-owned company, and we work with family farms throughout the region,” he explains. “We’re pretty picky about who we work with. What has gotten us this far is our quality. That’s a precedent my grandfather set.”

And as far as Colt is concerned, no one can top the quality of Red Gold, in part because of the company’s single-minded focus. Tomatoes are “what we know,” he said. “I don’t know of any other company that just does tomatoes.” Red Gold Inc., P.O. Box 83, Elwood, (866) 729-7187, www.redgold.com SOUTH

Spices was founded when Marion “Bill” Summers set out to sell his vanilla extract door-to-door in St. Louis. Sales quickly took off, public relations coordinator Lisa Morrison says, and soon he was also selling his offerings through local churches and mailorder operations.

Toward the late 1940s, Summers moved his spice company to Brownstown, where he had acquired a vacant factory. There, he built the Marion-Kay headquarters, which still stands today, complete with a gift shop and a museum. “It’s literally like walking into a time machine,” Morrison says of the spice factory. “All the old memorabilia and advertising that was original to the 1940s is still there.

It’s really a unique facility.”

By the time Summers moved his company to Indiana, he had begun adding spices to his line of offerings, and what “truly catapulted his company,” Morrison says, was his friendship with Colonel Harland Sanders of the growing Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant chain.

In 1965, Summers and Sanders worked together to develop the custom 11-spice recipe that the colonel used on his popular fried chicken.

Now a provider of spices and extracts to more than 1,400 restaurants nationwide, the Marion-Kay brand can be found in almost every major U.S. city, from Los Angeles to Chicago, Atlanta and Detroit. In Indiana, Marion-Kay spices can be found at JayC Food Stores, at the Indiana State Fair and at local restaurants, like Jonathan Byrd’s in Indianapolis and Opie Taylor’s and Malibu Grill in Bloomington, as well as at several Hoosier orchards and markets.

Customers can also order customblended and standard spices direct from the factory, President Kordell Reid says.

owns and manages the company along with another grandson of the founder, John Reid; granddaughter, Pamela Warren; and greatgrandson, J. Scot Reid.

When asked to choose a favorite spice, Kordell is quick to respond. “Garlic pepper,” he says, “I use that daily.” He says he also likes Hot Spice Madgic from the J.R. Mad’s line of spices under the company brand. But, if you hear him tell it, his personal preferences don’t matter much. He stands behind them all. “We tend to buy the best raw materials from around the world,” he says. “We stay with the quality that our grandfather and my father established. There are no fillers or preservatives. Our products are pure.”And for this year, the 90th anniversary of Marion-Kay Spices, the quality will also be much celebrated. (800) 6277423, marionkay.com

Second Helpings turns approximately 100,000 pounds of rescued food into 50,000 meals each month

Stationed on Southeastern Avenue near the heart of downtown Indianapolis, Second Helpings was born out of a sobering recognition of the vast amount of waste in the food service industry. Local restaurants, grocery stores, retailers and wholesalers oftentimes have a surplus of perishable or overstocked foods at the end of the day that would normally be bound for the dump. Three local chefs—Kristen Cordoza, Bob Koch and Jean Paison—regularly saw this problem firsthand.

The trio got to talking and quickly realized there was more than just a food waste issue at stake. Through their professional experiences, they knew how difficult it was to find skilled labor, and they regularly encountered workers who were eager to receive more training, but who had no financial means of acquiring it. Cordoza, Koch and Paison set out to solve all these problems—and to feed the hungry—with one plan: Turn unused food into meals and jobs.

The diverse nonprofit they started in 1998 now provides services to fight hunger, food waste and unemployment across the city. In the organization’s first full month of operation, 37 vol-

unteers helped rescue 7,000 pounds of food and prepare 3,074 meals for the hungry.

These days, Second Helpings turns approximately 100,000 pounds of rescued food into 50,000 meals each month.

Each day sees more food salvaged, more meals prepared and more adults receiving valuable job training in the approximately 20,000-square-foot facility. So how does it all get done? In large part through the effort of volunteers.

“We have 600 volunteers a year in addition to our regular staff, many who serve regularly on specific days of the week,” says Betsy Whitmore, communications manager.

One such volunteer has been at it for well over a decade. Greenwood resident Dick Bender began volunteering for a simple reason. “Hunger is an issue close to my heart,” he says. “We have a hunger problem, and it’s not due to lack of food. But we do have a distribution problem.”

Since retiring in 2004, Bender has devoted much of his free time to volunteer organizations. So much time, in fact, that he logged 800 volunteer hours at Second Helpings within his first two years. To date, Bender says he has more than 2,600 volunteer hours logged.

Many mornings find Bender in the kitchen at Second Helpings, where he preps ingredients and cooks hundreds of meals using industrial-sized cooking equipment. The 1,600-square-foot production kitchen turns 40

into a bustling workplace in the mornings, as staff and volunteers prepare 3,200 meals a day bound for more than 60 social service organizations that feed children, adults and seniors. The types of meals created are determined on an ever-changing basis, depending on what foods have been donated most recently. All are balanced and nutritious.

Large delivery trucks go out daily to supply partner agencies with the food they need.

Like many volunteers, Bender rotates duties from cooking to making deliveries to unloading and stocking incoming items.

“Volunteering at Second Helpings is never boring,” he says. “I just do whatever needs to be done.” It’s this humble attitude that makes him such an important part of the organization, and such a magnet for other southside volunteers.

A number of friends have followed his lead over the years, most invited by Bender himself and encouraged by his passion and energy for the mission. Hal Cole of Greenwood is one of them. Cole retired from a career in education. Then, after his wife of 48 years passed away, he confided to Bender

that he felt lost. Much of his time had been spent caring for his wife, and he turned to his friend for help in 2003. “Dick invited me to come volunteer with him,” he recalls, “and I found purpose again. We’re like a family here.”

And indeed they are. Several of the Greenwood volunteers catch rides together on the days they come in and continue to grow their network of neighbors who make the trip to Second Helpings. Ken Partridge from Southport is another retiree who volunteers his time. “Second Helpings is one of the most well-managed organizations I’ve seen,” he says. “I say that because they’re impacting hunger, they’re Volunteer Hal Cole managing waste and they really treat people right.”

Being well-managed is crucial, especially when operating on a large scale. Second Helpings offers a rigorous 10-week culinary training program for unemployed or underemployed adults. (One delicious perk of volunteering at Second Helpings is the lunch buffet created by the culinary students as they train.) The course is completely free

good will and taught by Sam Brown, a graduate of the course himself. For 40 hours a week, Brown instructs his students in useful lessons, both in and out of the kitchen.

And the training program works. Recent graduates are now employed across the city as chefs in restaurants and food trucks, and even as private chefs for the Indianapolis Colts.

Second Helpings celebrates its 15th anniversary in April. The organization has graduated 500 culinary students during the years since it began. It has delivered 6 million meals made from 17 million pounds of rescued food. It has even managed to change the lives and perspectives of those who volunteer their time for the better.

“I realize that my situation of having adequate resources is more about an accident of birth rather than anything I have done,” reflects Bender. “I may have done some things right to preserve that, but I have enjoyed some privileges due to no effort of my own.”

National Office Furniture, Chicago, by Lehner Designs

The word office doesn’t usually conjure feelings

of relaxation. Most of us don’t envision being able to catch up on our favorite sitcoms while sitting at our desk. During a meeting, few clients expect to hear from a financial planner: “Can I get you a cocktail while we go over these numbers?”

But that blend of work and play does exist.

Business owners are beginning to see the value in creating a professional, yet casual environment where they, their clients and employees feel comfortable.

“One of the hottest trends is creating spaces that are fun to work in,” said Gerard Lehner, owner of Lehner Designs in Greenwood.

“Business owners want a professionally designed space that goes a long way to help lift morale, encourage employee retention and create a place people enjoy being. They need a space they can feel energized and excited in and that helps them be creative and excel in their work.”

On the home front, personal offices are transitioning to more than just untouched, impersonal spaces where the monthly bills get filed to rooms where family members enjoy hanging out.

and family spaces in the evening,” Lehner said. “What’s often needed is a slimmeddown version of what you might find in a commercial setting.”

When Lehner takes on a project, the process is collaborative with the client from the beginning, he says. He first interviews his client to gather information on what they want and need in their space. “Many times we’ll visit their home or office and watch and observe how they, the customer and their employees interact, how the work flows, the efficiency, or lack of it,” he said.

“We get submerged in their culture to better understand them and where they are now.

Our objective is to see where they want to be when our design work is complete. That’s part of our job as designers to help paint a picture of that vision.”

Lehner said the main difference when working in the home versus professional setting is blending the work and home environments.

“Each has to be distinct from the other to operate separately, yet coincide,” he said.

“A residential office cannot be a converted back bedroom, or a desk incorporated into a kitchen to be a functional work space,” 44

he said. “The space needs to be a destination when the work day begins and provide an environment where distractions are at a minimum and work can be accomplished.”

Make it your own

Office settings are also beginning to reflect the personality of the business and its employees—a detail that’s very important to designer Julie Boutilier, owner of Cornerstone Interiors.

She recently helped southside financial planner A.L. Smith redesign his offices in the Winterwood Mortgage Building in Greenwood.

“A.L. knew that he wanted his space to include dark woods, to use custom veneers and to be a sleek environment,” Boutilier said.

Working on the lobby first, she said she had to work around a post in the center of the space that needed to remain to provide support to the upper level. It’s this blend of function and fashion that experts are able to bring to the table for their clients. “(We) settled on a concave curved reception desk with a thin buffet behind,” Boutilier said.

The yellow-and-white angular building on Smith Valley Road, owned by Yeager Properties, is hard to miss in an area lined with traditional strip mall retail spaces. Visitors to the building find a flurry of modern design elements: flat, angular roof lines, walls of glass, exposed drainpipes, mix-andmatch textures and materials, and vintage doors opening to each office space.

The building offers its tenants a chance to customize their spaces to reflect their individual styles, an opportunity makeup artist Kathy Moberly, owner of Faces by Kathy Moberly, was quick to take.

“When my clients come into my space, I want them to feel a warm and inviting sense of where they are,” she said, “a sense of comfort.”

She said details, such as a moiré throw pillow and a chunky tassel, added a Moroccan feel to the studio, which incorporates the use of rich colors and fabrics.

Her favorite part of the office, however, is her desk. “It has a solid iron base with a wood top that is overlaid with embossed leather,” she said. “I put a glass top on it to protect the leather. The chair is iron with a

lifestyle leather back and a faux-leopard seat cushion. I love it.”

Meeting demands

Professional and home office spaces have changed to meet the new demands and practices of modern business. Some of the most prominent trends are those that aid in creating more open, collaborative environments.

Lehner said more business owners are moving away from having private offices. “Employers and managers are seeing the benefit of being among their employees to increase interaction and to be accessible to everyone,” he said.

Other trends include open, flexible spaces that allow small and large groups to meet and office furniture and areas that are equipped to handle the latest technology.

“Whether it’s plug-and-work stations, data sharing for teams, teleconferencing, multiple computers and monitors,” Lehner

in the corner of the family room and call it your work space. Find an area where you can retreat to get business done.

Make it comfortable—in addition to the traditional desk, chair and filing furniture, add pieces that encourage relaxation and creativity, such as loveseat or lounge chair with a couple of throw pillows.

O The Greener Side of Life

Conducting an energy assessment can lead to savings at home

46

SOUTH

indysouthm ag.com

Over the last several years, factors like the environment and the state of the economy have impacted how consumers approach buying and maintaining their homes. No longer do homebuyers simply mull over the location of a residence and the number of bedrooms inside. Nor does remodeling simply mean turning an attached garage into a home office. These days, people are seeing that the grass is in fact greener when they’re living green.

Occupants in both older and newly built residences now carefully consider energy efficiency, insulation, ventilation and alternative power sources for their homes. Residential Energy Assessments, available through Energizing Indiana, an effort led by the Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor (OUCC), can help to improve the comfort and efficiency of your home. Getting an energy assessment and making changes based on the findings also can raise your home’s energy performance, lower your energy bills, improve in-home air quality and increase your property’s value.

Before getting an assessment, experts say homeowners first need to understand how their energy costs break down. Based on national averages from the U.S. Department of Energy, 44 percent of a utility bill results from heating and cooling the home, 33 percent is attributed to lighting, cooking and other appliances, 14 percent of energy is used to heat water, and approximately 9 percent of a home’s energy use goes to keeping a refrigerator running.

Energy advisers can visit your home to analyze the many ways it uses energy. They can then guide homeowners through making long-term, cost-effective energy savings plan by recommending appropriate efficiency measures. Advisers will also assess heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems, as well

home trends as air duct sealing and insulation levels, in homes to determine if they are operating efficiently.

Once the process is complete, homeowners receive a comprehensive report detailing what can be done to start saving energy immediately. Many times a home energy assessment reveals that only simple and relatively low-cost improvements are necessary to achieve significant energy savings.

Going Green from the Ground Up

If you’re thinking about building a new home, Castalia Homes and Beazer Homes offer several green options. Christina Felts, marketing manager at Beazer, says that a fully integrated approach to design and construction creates a home with “better durability, comfort, and reduced utility and maintenance costs.”

Specially certified professionals trained in advanced building science work with Energy Star builders to select the most appropriate energy-efficient features for new homes, she says. In order for a home

to meet Energy Star requirements, it must consist of a complete thermal enclosure system with comprehensive air sealing, quality installed insulation and highperformance windows, and it must have a high-efficiency HVAC, a comprehensive water management system to protect roofs, walls and foundations from moisture damage and energy-efficient lighting and appliances.

Frank Redavide’s Castalia Homes builds with Energy Star standards in mind, but his company takes eco-friendly building an extra step. “We build green in every way,” he says, “even our build site and its impact on the environment is considered.”

To further this movement toward energy-efficient living, the state of Indiana has also found ways to reward consumers for taking eco-friendly measures. The state offers tax incentives to families who purchase geothermal heating units for their homes. “For the life of the system, the state takes off the cost of the system on tax assessments,” Redavide explains.

Adjust the water heater. Turn the temperature settings down to where the tap water isn’t scalding and wash clothes in cold water. For every 10 degrees you turn down your water heater, you can save between 3 percent to 5 percent on your energy costs.

Install a recirculation pump (each costs around $200, and you can typically install yourself) to keep hot water readily available and cut down on the heating and reheating cycle that occurs in your water heater.

Switch to energyefficient lighting (CFL, LED or halogens). Newer LED or CFL light bulbs last up to 10 times longer than standard bulbs and can save between 25 percent to 75 percent of energy costs.

Use power strips for electronics and turn the strips off when not in use. Phantom power loss (the amount of energy wasted on appliances plugged in but not in use) per household in one year can equal 10 percent of a home’s energy usage.

There is a long-standing misconception that exercise will cause a rapid increase in joint deterioration. “Most people don’t get degenerative disease because of running and pounding,” says Dr. Michael Berend of the Center for Hip and Knee Surgery at Franciscan St. Francis Health–Mooresville. “It’s actually the opposite. The net benefit of exercise completely outweighs any wear and tear on the joints.”

Hardin suggests incorporating a warm-up routine that prepares your body for the coming workout, rather than just jumping right in. “They need some kind of warm-up with stretching or walking before they run,” Hardin explains. “People with underlying health

problems need to see their family doctor first, and in the ideal situation, if you can get in with a trainer or physical therapist in a gym situation, you’re going to get good information on how to work out without hurting yourself.”

Hardin recommends low-impact activities for people who have had previous injuries or corrective surgeries. “Someone who has had surgery on a knee or shoulder should do low impact things that won’t cause further injury,” he says.

“I try to switch them to using low-impact gliders and ski machines and to stay away from the stair stepper or treadmill.”

Physical therapy, strength training and medical management with anti-inflammatories and corticosteroids also yield positive results. “I’ve had people get along very well with medical management and weight stabilization for five to 10 years,” says Dr. Frank Kolisek, a specialist at OrthoIndy.

health & fitness to avoid doctor’s appointments and surgeries. When he gets these calls, he tells them to first follow the “PRICE” protocol, he says, before calling to schedule a doctor’s visit. “The P stands for protection,” he says. “They need to get an ankle or knee brace, to give the injured area extra support. R is for rest; I is for ice. C is for compression, and the E is for elevation. Do this immediately and try to get the pain to calm down. If the pain persists, or if there is swelling, if you have fluid in your knee or ankle or whatever, you need to come in and get some X-rays.”

The Shoulders

“The majority of injuries I see are rotator cuff tendon tears or inflammation from repetitive trauma in patients in their 40s, 50s and 60s,” explains Dr. Scott Gudeman, a shoulder and knee specialist at OrthoIndy. “In younger patients in their 20s and 30s, I see labral (SLAP) tears and shoulder instability. We usually always try physical therapy first. Sometimes

by strengthening other muscles, you can compensate for the involved pathology.”

Gudeman regularly performs arthroscopic surgery to repair shoulders.

During the surgery, which allows for shortened recovery times and smaller incisions, an arthroscope is inserted through a small cut to examine the interior of a joint.

“We also have improved implants” to repair shoulder injuries, says Gudeman.

Anchors can be implanted into bones to place and hold sutures through torn tendons. “As a result, people experience less rejection and inflammation. The bone regenerates itself, and the anchors gradually dissolve. Patients fare very well.”

The Hips

“When it comes to hip pain, it is important to examine the true location of the source,” explains Kolisek. “People come in and point to their buttock or the outside of their hip. These patients usually have bursitis, tendinitis or sciatica and mistake it for hip pain. True osteoarthritis of the hip causes pain in the groin and medial thigh.”

Kolisek handles each patient case with individual care, affording each the chance to evaluate their mobility and general “can do” versus “can’t do” lists. In the vast majority of hip replacement candidates, the cartilage in the hip joint is just gone. “The hip is a ball and socket joint,” he says. “That ball is like an orange rind.

When you lose your orange rind from arthritis, you start to experience loss of range of motion and pain.”

Many aspects of today’s hip replacement surgeries have changed over the course of Kolisek’s career. “In younger active people, we now use ceramic and highly cross-linked polyethylene replacement joints,” he says. “This combination provides a lower wear rate. And now we work through muscles instead of detaching them. This soft tissue sparing method allows for a much faster recovery. Most patients are home in 24 to 48 hours,” he says.

Most commonly, a knee patient comes in to his office complaining of general pain in the knee cap area, “known as patellofemoral pain,” explains Dr. Jack

Farr, a knee specialist at OrthoIndy. “Fortunately, the majority of these patients only have muscles and soft tissues that are out of balance. Physical therapy will help most of this group of knee patients resolve their pain.

If there is stiffness, pain, swelling and/ or incomplete motion along with the pain, something more may need to be done.

Some of these patients could be candidates for cartilage restoration, and they are typically under 40 and have had either a prior surgery or trauma. When nothing but surgery will do, Farr says, “We realign, repair and restore.”

Physical therapy, the use of anti-inflammatories, injection of gel-like sub-

stances into joints and even meniscus transplants are all options for treatment.

In the future, stem cell therapy may also be an available treatment option.

When all else fails, knee replacement surgery is another answer. Berend often sees patients in their late 60s, he says.

“Our practice is focused on the treatment of degenerative joint disease,” he explains.

“We do end-of-the-road arthritis surgery.”

Advancements in the last 10 years have been made in the design of the replacement joint and the materials used in manufacturing. “Reactions to the cobalt chrome can happen, but they are very rare,” Berend says. “Our incisions are much smaller, and surgery only takes about an hour. The hospital stay is one night for a partial and two nights for total knee replacements.”

on Indy’s southside. “I was about to go to sleep,” McCann says, but “I thought I need to go. We need to go respond.”

Trained as a Johnson County volunteer emergency responder, McCann, the owner of a strategic outsourcing company by day, grabbed his gear and member credentials for the local Certified Emergency Response Team (CERT) and ReadyIndy, a local chapter of a national Christian emergency network, and jumped back in the car. “Something told me I just needed to go,” he says.

His wife, Lisa, and all three of their children are also CERT-trained, but he initially drove to the scene alone. “One of the things you learn in CERT and ReadyIndy is you don’t go anywhere without your buddy,” he explains. “You work in groups of two, at a minimum, and that’s for safety.” As he drove, McCann phoned two ReadyIndy buddies to see which one could join him. Carmel resident Neil Cox was the first to arrive.

At a command center table at nearby Mary Bryan Elementary School, the pair began serving alongside the local city in-

cident commander. Throughout the night there was no chaplain on the scene, so McCann and Cox were tapped to sit and support the relatives of John Dion and Jennifer Longworth, the young couple ultimately identified as lost in the tragedy, through consultation and prayer. McCann and Cox waited with them throughout the night until morning, when official word came

on the fate of their family members. “I’ve never done that before,” he says. “That was pretty stressful.”

The team worked alongside the Red Cross, but the school site was going to be in use only for temporary neighborhood relief. With the Red Cross slated to pull out early that afternoon, the location for more long-term relief and recovery needed to be established at nearby Southport Presbyterian Church.

At the church, McCann and his team helped to establish a staging area for volunteer response. “We helped them identify those individuals within their church who could work within the differ-

His own training during the two months prior—including one randomly drawn readiness drill on how to respond to an explosion—was coming in handy, McCann says. Several of his team members had also previously gained experience through the 2008 Johnson County floods and the March 2012 southern Indiana tornadoes.

Members of ReadyIndy guided the church’s leadership through the relief and recovery phases by quickly providing training so church officials could work alongside public safety officials. The bulk of all long-term recovery systems, known as a national VOAD structure, were in

“The church responded very quickly to put (volunteer) personnel into those positions. One of them was a brigadier general, a hospital administrator, attorneys … highly gifted people that the church had as human resources.”

In all, McCann volunteered 10 days of his time to help those affected by the explosion.

Though donations were pouring in from Indianapolis residents over the days and weeks that followed, more than anything, he explains, it wasn’t material assistance these neighbors and friends were after. “They had the attitude that this is all stuff; it can be replaced,” he says. But their kids couldn’t “sleep at night. They didn’t know what caused it (the explosion) for at least a week.”

Christina Hunter, 30, heard people trying to break into her Richmond Hill home in early November. “Nick (her husband) was out of town,” she recalls. “I could hear them yelling, talking back and forth.” But unlike when the couple had been robbed two months earlier, this time she knew what to do. “I phoned my neighbor, Theresa, to have her post on the Facebook page, because I was going to be on 911,” she says.

Christina and Nick had started a private Richmond Hill neighborhood site on Facebook in September

when “someone broke into our home in the middle of the night while Nick was asleep on the couch 20 feet away,” she says. “They stole my computer, my iPad.” Discouraged, the Hunters talked with neighbors and discovered many of them had been victims of petty crimes for the past year. “Nobody had reported these things to each other,” she says. Thus the pattern had gone unnoticed.

When they started the Facebook page, the plan was to invite neighbors to join and “look out for each other,” she says. “We felt more powerful. We weren’t alone.”

The Facebook post about the second break-in brought approximately 10 people to her house before the police were able to arrive. “Two of them even followed the teens over to Mary Bryan (Elementary

“There have been so many blessings to come out of this tragedy. It’s brought the neighborhood together.”—Christina Hunter School) so they could tell the police where to find them,” she recalls.

Then came the Nov. 10 Richmond Hill explosion. In the days after, neighbors found their ways back to that social media site. “It’s been amazing,” Christina says.

“We’ve been able to communicate with each other for grieving or finding pets or to talk.” New members joined; at the time of this writing, page members had risen to 182.

A week after the explosion, Christina stood at the incident command site at Southport Presbyterian Church, with tears streaming down her face. “All the preparation (for the Facebook page) has done more than I dreamed,” she says. “There have been so many blessings to come out of this tragedy. It’s brought the neighborhood together. Before the break-in, I knew four houses. And after … I feel so blessed. My neighbors are amazing.”

T

hroughout the state’s history, Indiana leaders have sought ways to provide better education for its citizens. In the early days, that often meant something so simple as providing a place where children could go. Many one-room schoolhouses were built three bricks thick in the years between 1880 and 1900, and their fortified walls symbolized dreams for a better future for generations to come.

In these buildings, children could receive a basic education, which included reading, writing and, sometimes, arithmetic (ciphering). The dawn of the 20th century, however, rapidly brought the call for school consolidation, and one-room schoolhouses, with a single teacher educating all eight grades, emptied.

Bigger, more centralized schools were the new rule. Often located on private 66

farmland, many of the single-room buildings were abandoned or later put to farm use. During the 1920s, ’30s and ’40s, some were transformed into homes.

These days, cars rush by the handful of remaining one-room schoolhouses in Johnson County daily. Historic preservation consultant Connie Zeigler, owner of C.Resources Inc., believes these remaining historic schools are valuable assets. “I think that most people appreciate encountering an old school in the landscape, reminding us that our grandparents, or sometimes parents, had a very different experience in education than those of us who grew up in the era of consolidated schools,” she says.

“I know I do.”

Thirteen-year Johnson County Museum volunteer Marilyn Kendrick has been working on a book documenting the oneroom schoolhouses that remain in the county—a task that others at the museum began before her.

STUDENT TEACHERS While education was viewed as useful

In 1991, builder Dan Nichols bought the building and added a false exterior fireplace to obscure the schoolhouse door. Nichols sold it the next year to current owner, Dr. Marjorie Lake. She decided to christen her medical practice Old Schoolhouse Pediatrics in deference to its storied past. Nichols passed on to Lake a framed painting signed

by Whitaker (probably the previous owner) inspired by an Emma Smith photo of what the school looked like in 1889. Lake’s business grew so much that she added an upper floor and large work area to the old schoolhouse by 2003.

ing had to be moved or torn down as soon as the state had the money from the federal government. The news of approved federal funding arrived in January 2012. Lake and her chief administrator, Dr. Jim Baurley, studied the potential of moving the building, but because of the additions, it became clear that there were too many obstacles.

The building will be torn down.

School Nos. 7, 8 and 9, Collins (Roads 600N and 500W), Tressler (Roads 500N and 700W) and Dunn (Roads 400N and 700W), all survive as homes in the Center Grove area.

Both No. 10, Wyrick (Roads 400N and 500W) and 11 have been torn down. The Robards School, No. 11 (Road 450N and State Road 135), lasted 140 years until it was torn down in 2000.

in the later 1800s, if a man did not know how to work well with his hands, he was considered of lesser value to society.

Indiana Gov. Noah Noble in his 1833 annual message to the Legislature noted his awareness that teachers were all too often transient people who were out of work or not fit for other lines of manual work.

“The want of competent teachers to instruct in the township schools is a cause of complaint in many sections of the state,” Noble stated. He then called for the establishment of seminaries, or training schools, for teachers.

Elba Branigin’s 1913 book, “History of Johnson County,” notes “that whenever a man was rendered unfit for making his living any other way, he took to teaching.”

By the late 1880s, teaching had gained in stature, and many unmarried women were contracted for one or more terms.

“It was just the sound that he made. It was the most appealing sound I had ever heard anyone make on a saxophone.”

When he graduated in 1969, Miedema enlisted in the Army, where he spent the Vietnam years playing in the U.S. Military Academy Band at West Point. On the side, he studied with Joe Allard at the Juilliard School and haunted the New York City music scene.

“I couldn’t have paid for what I learned in the Army,” he says. “Because Vietnam was going on, everybody who could play really well was looking for a place to be, and so the Army band just had numerous great players in it. I immediately figured out there were some things I still didn’t know. I was becoming aware of what I needed to do to actually make a living in the real world.”

When the Army offered to shorten enlistments by six months for soldiers who went to graduate school, Miedema took the deal and headed back to IU for a master’s degree in music. Soon after, he got that fateful call from the Temptations trumpet player.

Miedema spent the next few frenetic years simultaneously finishing a master’s degree and touring with big Motown Re-

cords names: the Four Tops, the Spinners, the Supremes, Marvin Gaye, the Jackson Five, Natalie Cole and many others.

“I would sneak up to Detroit on the weekends, and we would have rehearsal, then take off and go someplace and play some gigs,” he says.

But a turning point came in 1976, when a colleague referred Miedema to the O’Jays, the R&B group known for such hits as “For the Love of Money” and “Love Train.” After years of skipping from group to group, Miedema had finally found a musical home. He stayed with the O’Jays for more than 20 years, even serving for five years as the group’s music director.

Transitioning to Teaching

In the late ’70s, Miedema began to settle more fully into his life in Indianapolis. Despite his busy touring schedule, he became the first-call saxophonist for the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, a position he still holds today (although these days, he admits, he needs his reading glasses to see the sheet music). He put his music education degree to use as a lecturer and adjunct professor at several Indiana universities, joining the UIndy faculty as an adjunct in 1985.

“When I started, I would get off an airplane from doing a road gig at six in the morning on Monday and drive straight to school and teach some saxophone player who hadn’t practiced, and I would get upset,” he says. “I have learned how to do a much better job of that.”

In 1997, Miedema decided he was getting too old for the stress and hassle of one-night gigs, and he joined the UIndy faculty full time. Two years latMiedema's Golden Record “Commemorating the sale of over 500,000 copies” of the record “Emotionally Yours” sits in his office near the saxophone that he played on the record.

er, he was named director of jazz studies.

“He is a solid, straight shooter with great advice for the kids. He equips them really well for the profession,” said Kathleen Hacker, music department chairwoman, who recently did a joint concert with Miedema featuring the music of Cannonball Adderley and Nancy Wilson. “He understands (jazz) to be a language they have to learn, so he teaches it like anybody would teach a new language.”

Miedema’s classes focus primarily on the art of transcription—figuring out how to play something somebody else has played without actually writing down or reading the musical notes. Each class includes a session in which he plays something and the students figure out how to re-create that sound.

He also emphasizes rote, “meaning you’re anal enough to go into a practice room and stay there for three hours and repeat things over and over again,” he says. “You can learn to play jazz,” he adds, “but you can’t be taught to play jazz.”

He also helps students develop their individual musical styles. Unlike classical music, which has a narrow range of acceptable sound, jazz allows musicians the freedom to develop identifiable signature sounds.

Beyond his teaching duties, Miedema has changed the face of jazz education at UIndy and beyond. In addition to developing the degree program in jazz studies, he leads the school’s student jazz ensembles and organizes its Jazz Artist Series and annual Jazz Week (see sidebar). He

profile also has a weekly radio show, “How Jazz Works,” on WICR 88.7 FM. He also founded an annual jazz festival for high school students. That’s how he met his wife, Mary Miedema, a former high school band director from Merrillville, who brought her students to Indianapolis for the festival.

“When I stepped off the bus, Harry was standing outside, and it was a beautiful February day. I didn’t know who he was, but he smiled and nodded, and I thought he was a good-looking guy,” Mary says.

“That evening he played at the concert, and I was just mesmerized by his playing.”

Harry sent out an email after the festival asking for feedback, and Mary wrote back with some suggestions. The conversation progressed from emails to phone calls to dates, and the couple married in June 2000. Mary, who specializes in the euphonium, is now the band director at Decatur Middle School.

“Recording is fun,” he says, “but live concerts are where there is a lot of energy.”

He recalls playing at an Independence Day concert on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., for an estimated crowd of more than 650,000.

Franklin’s Ted Bishop is ready, willing and able to take PGA of America to new levels

Ted Bishop has a reputation. Everyone who knows the Franklin resident, who was recently elected president of the PGA of America, uses the same word to describe him — competitive.

“He is very competitive on the golf course, and it goes along with his leadership style,” said Derek Sprague, vice president of the PGA of America.

“He’s very passionate about playing and winning.”

Ted’s wife, Cindy Bishop, has witnessed that competitive streak firsthand. She often tells the story of a nine-hole couples’ tournament in which they played shortly after their 1976 marriage. Cindy had only recently learned to play, and she still struggled with her short game. When they reached the eighth hole, she and Ted were several strokes under par and poised to win. But after getting onto the green in two strokes, their game fell apart.

“We proceeded to take six more shots because I would putt the ball off the green, and he would have to putt it back on the green,” Cindy said. “We kept doing that, and he ended up whirling his putter into the pond.”

Cindy told him to retrieve the club from the pond, which he did despite his white pants. They went on to play the ninth hole of that tournament and countless rounds of golf in the decades that followed — always with a fun but competitive edge.

“He is extremely focused and extremely competitive,” said Pete Bevacqua, the new chief executive officer of PGA of America. “You can tell he was a great athlete growing up. He’s carried over those competitive juices to the golf course.”

Picking Up a Club Ted, who is originally from Logansport, wasn’t always a golfer — at least, not a serious one. His earliest golfing experience was in junior high school, when he and some friends bought a nine iron and a sleeve of balls at a hardware store and played from lamppost to lamppost in a public park.

“As a kid, I watched a bit of golf on TV, and I enjoyed that,” Ted said. “The thing that probably attracted me to golf at a young age was that I thought it was really cool the way those guys dressed. I’ve never been afraid to wear that stuff.”

In high school, Ted played basketball and baseball. When he got a summer job at a golf course after his junior year, he worked there for months without ever picking up a club.

But he enjoyed the work so much that he kept coming back, summer after summer, and finally learned how to play — and play well. Seeing a future as a golf course superintendent, he switched his major at Purdue University from journalism to agronomy.

After graduation, he took a job in Linton as a golf pro and superintendent at Phil Harris Golf Course.

He stayed there for 17 years, earning PGA membership in 1985 and developing one of the largest celebrity golf tournaments in the nation.

In 1991, Ted and his family moved to Franklin, where he set about opening the Legends Golf Club as its general manager and PGA director.

Soon after, the Indiana Golf Association and Indiana PGA Section relocated their headquarters to the Legends campus, later constructing the Indiana Golf Academy and Indiana Golf Hall of Fame on site.

“Everything that happens in Indiana pertaining to golf happens right here in Franklin,” Ted said.

His professional focus has worked wonders for his golf game. His handicap index is a low 3.2, and several times he has tallied a rare score of 65. (Even Tiger Woods has never shot better than a 61 in tournament play.) Ted has qualified four times for the Indiana Open, gotten three holes in one and played the legendary Augusta National course in Georgia and St. Andrews course in Scotland.

Later this year, he’ll be inducted into the Hall of Fame he helped build.

Ted and Cindy Bishop chat with grandchildren

“You can tell he was a great athlete growing up. He’s carried over those competitive juices to the golf course."

—Pete Bevacqua, the new chief executive officer of PGA of America

“I grew up in a town where baseball and basketball were a big deal, but you can’t play those sports all your life,” Ted said. “I think the competitiveness I developed playing sports at a high level benefited me later on when I was playing golf. My nerves have always been pretty good because of that.”

Going Pro Early in his golfing career, Ted got involved with PGA of America, which represents 27,000 members and apprentices nationwide. It is the largest working sports organization in the world, and it oversees high-profile events such as the PGA Championship, the Senior PGA Championship and the Ryder Cup. Ted served on numerous PGA committees and

boards over the years, but his journey to PGA leadership officially began in 2008, when he was elected secretary of the organization. He later served for two years as vice president. His presidential term — an unpaid, volunteer position — will last two years and will be followed by a two-year term as honorary president.

“When you undergo this commitment, you know you’re devoting eight years of your life to this,” he said. “I was ready for the challenge.”

So far, he seems to be right. In just the first month of his term, he hired a new CEO, named a new Ryder Cup captain during a live “Today” show appearance and leaped into an industry-wide debate about anchoring golf clubs.

Bishop in his office at The Legends Golf Club in Franklin.

“Nothing is wishy-washy about Ted,” Bevacqua said. “Once he takes a stance, and it’s usually a very informed one, he is full-bore ahead. It’s great to know we have a president who is so steadfast in his convictions and so knowledgeable about the game.”

When Ted selected golfer Tom Watson as Ryder Cup captain, for example, he surprised many industry analysts. But Watson, an eight-time majors champion and four-time Ryder Cup veteran, may have been the perfect choice. He previously served as Ryder Cup captain in 1993, the last time the U.S. team won on foreign soil.

“It was a choice that was outside the norm, but when people heard the reasoning, they said it made perfect sense,” Bevacqua said. “There might have been some more obvious, formulaic choices, and this was going back into the archives a bit. It was a bold move, but it was a decision that Ted took very seriously.”

Ted said his primary responsibility as president is to improve the quality of life for golf professionals across the nation — a task made more difficult by the recent economic downturn. He is working with the PGA to create innovative programs that will get new players involved in golf and keep them interested in the game.

For example, the PGA now offers a program called Get Golf Ready. For about $100, consumers get five lessons with local PGA professionals, who provide all the equipment and lots of on-course experience. The program is designed to combat perceptions that golf is difficult, time-consuming and expensive. So far, about 80 percent of Get Golf Ready students have stuck with the game, Ted said.

Ted Bishop His golfing pet peeve

Slow play. “I’m a firm believer in playing ready golf,” he said.

“Just get to your golf ball and hit it.”

His favorite celebrity golf partner

Bishop has played rounds with many celebrity golfers over the years, but a recent highlight is playing with Rory McIlroy.

“He’s a great guy,” he said.

How he blows off steam:

More sports. “I’m a huge baseball and football fan,” he said.

“To me a great stress reliever during the summer is to go home and watch the Yankees.”

His vision for retirement

More golf. “I’m looking forward to the day, and it’s a couple of years down the road, when I have the opportunity to play three or four times a week and can … really practice and work on my game,” he said.

golfers. His two daughters, Ashely Davidson and Ambry Bishop, both attended college on golf scholarships after years of playing in junior leagues.

“He never tried to be our main teacher,” Ashely said. “I would say he was more of an encourager.

We were hard on ourselves if we didn’t play well, and he was great at pumping us back up and reminding us that it was just one round.”

She now works as the events and membership coordinator at Legends, while Ambry is a PGA assistant professional at St. Andrews Golf Club in New York and head women’s golf coach at St. John’s University.

And although Cindy had never played golf before meeting Ted in a physics class at Purdue, she was a fast learner. She coached girls golf at Franklin High School for seven years, leading her teams to statewide top-three rankings five times.

All three women said they are proud of Ted’s achievements — and eager to see what he accomplishes in his new PGA role.

“As long as I can remember, he had this goal of wanting to be involved in PGA of America,” Ambry said. “I think the passion and energy he puts into it doesn’t ever die. He has more and more energy each day for the job, and me being a PGA member, I know that’s a good thing.”

A Franklin dream home is eco-friendly by design

built their dream home on the western edge of Franklin, they knew the sleek, modern design would stand out in a neighborhood full of more traditional houses. But they also set the house apart in a more important way, focusing on green construction materials and techniques that would make the house more eco-friendly and energy-efficient.

As a result, their home was the first in the state to earn platinum certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.

Platinum is the highest possible ranking for the council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program.

“Building green isn’t just building sustainable, it’s building smart and extremely efficient,” said builder Frank Redavide, of Castalia Homes. “These are high-performance buildings.”

Eco-friendly features in the Jennetts’ 4,000-square-foot home include renewable bamboo floors, paints with lower concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and water-saving

dual-flush toilets. Behind the scenes, the couple installed energy-efficient equipment such as a tankless water heater, dual furnace and Energy Star appliances. The home is now the unofficial showplace for Castalia Homes, which has since built four more platinumcertified homes across the state.

“We’re seeing a little bit more interest (in green construction),” Redavide said.

“To design a home and make it look good is very easy. You can always put lipstick on a pig. The problem is what’s behind the walls.”

“Behind-the-walls” fixes, including installing energy-efficient heating/ cooling systems and using spray-foam insulation, can increase sustainability.

Overall, the Jennetts estimate that they spent 20 percent to 25 percent more than they would have paid for a traditional home to make such changes, but they believe they’ll save money in the

long run with lower utility bills. Redavide said a premium of 1 percent to 4 percent is more typical for homeowners not seeking platinum LEED status.

“With a lot of these homes, you’ll get paid back (with lower utility costs) in anywhere from 18 months to three or four years,” he said. “If you’re going to be in a house longer than three or four years, it’s a no-brainer.”

The hard part, the Jennetts said, was knowing where to draw the line.

They considered features such as solar panels and geothermal heating, but they calculated that such features wouldn’t offset enough utility costs to pay for themselves.

Sibylle, who is originally from Switzerland, also refused to compromise on the uncluttered, minimalist architecture she associated with her homeland— even when that meant making less ecofriendly choices.

“One thing I love about Swiss architecture is the way they combine old and new,” Sibylle said. “My dad has a 400-year-old Swiss chalet in the mountains with a modern kitchen. I love that.

But there’s nothing that old around here for me to renovate.”

Her interior design aesthetic blends neutrals with unexpected pops of bright color. In the great room, for example, a

The home’s bold design style was a natural fit for Mark and Sibylle, 48 and 40, who met on a blind date 11 years ago. Mark, who has lived in Franklin since childhood, is the owner of Printworks Printing Co. in Whiteland. Sibylle, who came to the United States as an au pair in 1991, now holds a degree in graphic design from Marian Uni-

versity and works as a production artist at Caldwell VanRiper in Indianapolis.

The Jennetts previously renovated a century-old home in downtown Franklin—and got married there—before building their eco-friendly home in 2009.

“I wasn’t enjoying coming home when we were living in the last house. I didn’t like my environment,” Sibylle said. “Now I get satisfaction when I come home.”

or an arts-focused weekend getaway in the Midwest, Chicago is the obvious choice—but not necessarily the best one. Just over the Indiana border to the southeast, Cincinnati offers its own wealth of arts amenities, including more than 100 museums and galleries and a host of world-class performing arts organizations.

Even better, Cincinnati is rapidly improving its artistic credentials, investing heavily in downtown revitalization and supporting many fledgling arts organizations. Several museums and galleries have completed renovation and expansion projects, creating even more ways for visitors to experience art. It’s the perfect place for an art jolt, without the hustle and bustle of the Windy City.

Cincinnati through the Ages

Founded in 1788 as an agricultural settlement, Cincinnati thrived with the introduction of steam navigation on the Ohio River in 1811. Between 1800 and 1850, the population spiked from a few hundred to more than 115,000, and the city became known as the Queen City of the West, far outshining Chicago as the area’s cultural capital. It also became an important meat-packing center, especially for pork, earning the city another nickname: Porkopolis.

Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal

To honor the city’s history, start your tour at the Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal, built as a train station in 1933 and now home to the Cincinnati History Museum, the Duke Energy Children’s Museum, the Museum of Natural History and Science, and the Cincinnati Historical Society Library. Even if you’re not interested in the museums, the center is worth a stop for its soaring rotunda and colorful Art Deco mosaics.

Your next stop is Findlay Market, Ohio’s oldest continuously operated public market, home to about two dozen indoor merchants selling meat, produce, flowers, cheese, and arts and crafts. On Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays from April to November, you’ll also find a farmers market—a great place to have a snack, listen to live music and watch the street performers.

While there, be sure to seek out the Market Carpet, a floor mosaic in the center tower that tells the story of Findlay Market’s first 150 years. The four quadrants of the mosaic present views of the market from 1852 (when the area was an open field with tents and stalls), 1902, 1952 and 2002. Look closely for the smaller details, such as depictions of vintage clothing and cars and images

of the row houses typical of the area.

Next, visit the Queen City’s crown jewel, Fountain Square, a pedestrian-friendly area dominated by the Tyler Davidson Fountain. Dedicated in 1871, the fountain is now the epicenter of Cincinnati’s downtown revitalization project, which included a complete renovation of the square in 2006. If you didn’t pick up a snack at Findlay Market, you’ll find plenty of options here, but be sure to spend a few minutes people-watching in this bustling city hub.

When you’re done, head just around the corner to the Lois and Richard Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art, which offers an ever-changing menu of contemporary art exhibitions. Even if you didn’t bring the kids, take a peek at CCA’s Unmuseum, an interactive art experience featuring giant marionettes, the Sensory Elephant, a camping trailer made of found objects, and much more. If you enjoy the occasional childfree romp at the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, you’ll fit right in here.

Not a fan of contemporary art? Try the Taft Museum of Art, offering “old master” European and American paintings, Chinese porcelains, decorative arts, sculptures and furniture. The per-

manent collection includes works by Rembrandt and Whistler, and the café and gift shop are good spots for a break.

Scenic Overlooks

From there, it’s a short walk to Bicentennial Commons at Sawyer Point, a mile-long strand of parkland along the Ohio River with several picture-perfect scenic overlooks. Take a few photos with the historic steamboats in the background and then explore the Gateway Sculpture, which commemorates Cincinnati’s roots as a riverboat port.

For a different perspective of the city, drive up to Mount Adams, a quiet residential neighborhood with sweeping views of the river and downtown Cincinnati. You’ll find the perfect overlook at Eden Park, which offers walking paths, a magnolia garden, the Krohn Conservatory, outdoor sculptures and a peaceful mirror lake.

Also nestled within Eden Park is the Cincinnati Art Museum, whose 80 galleries display gems ranging from ancient Egyptian artifacts to contemporary art installations. Completed in 1886, the “Art Palace of the West” has undergone extensive renovations in recent

decades, and it now includes an entire wing for art with ties to Cincinnati.

If you’re inspired to make your own art, try a one-day pottery workshop at Funke Fired Arts, which started its life in 1996 as Annie’s Mud Pie Shop and is now one of the largest public studios in the nation.

Classes are offered at every level, from beginning to advanced, in techniques such as wheel-throwing, hand-building and clay sculpture. Sound like too much work? Settle down in Funke’s Atrium studio and paint a pre-made piece instead.

Of course, no weekend getaway is complete without a bit of shopping. For that, head to Hyde Park Square , a hip shopping haven with more than 175 unique restaurants, galleries and boutiques. The annual Hyde Park Square Art Show—a juried show with more than 200 artists—takes place the first Sunday in October, and the neighborhood also organizes regular gallery walks, a Sunday morning farmers market and other artsy events. Hyde Park is also a great place to grab an ice cream cone at Graeter’s, a Cincinnati favorite since 1870.

Cincinnati after Dark

When the sun sets, Cincinnati offers

a wide range of performing arts options, many of them at the historic Music Hall, which is home to the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and Cincinnati Opera.

Another popular performance venue is the more contemporary Aronoff Center for the Arts, which presents Cincinnati Ballet and many touring Broadway productions.

One of the best deals in town, however, is the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company.

Working with a small budget and a tiny theater, this troupe of professional actors produces eight outstanding shows a year, usually classic plays by William Shakespeare, George Bernard Shaw and other well-known playwrights. At the theater, be sure to get a picture with Hamlet, a giant fiberglass pig created by CSC for the city’s Big Pig Gig public art exhibit in 2000.

Enoteca Emilia pushes the boundaries of Italian cooking

f you’ve never been a big fan of figs, you might want to give the tiny fruits another try. Stuffed with nduja sausage, wrapped in bacon and enveloped in a house red sauce, the figs, served as a small plate dish, are prepared by Jeremy Luers of Enoteca Emilia, a wine bar and Italian-inspired restaurant in Cincinnati. And these figs are exquisite.

Luers is the head chef at Enoteca Emilia, where nearly everything on the menu is crafted to showcase epicurean chemistry.

Luers melds flavors to interact with each other, creating dishes, rather than just dinner, and he does so in a restaurant that provides a great respite from the ordinary. But the friendly staff and comfortable atmosphere

proudly display the restaurant’s decidedly Midwestern roots.

For starters, share a classic heirloom tomato caprese salad (seasonal) and mussels, sautéed with a saffron, spicy tomato, basil and chive sauce and accompanied by a savory whipped ricotta cheese sauce and crostini. For dinner, move to the lamb skewer (spiedini), adorned with rosemary, and accompanied by fingerling potatoes with mint crema and a fig balsamic drizzle, or for a more traditional route, try the cavatelli pasta, which features Italian sausage, black kale and the house red sauce.

Another Luers specialty to note: the caramelized onion and eggplant stuffed ravioli, which comes with a brown butter balsamic sauce—it’s a simple, unassuming dish that unfolds in surprisingly invigorating layers on the palate.

Like any successful restaurant, good, inventive cuisine is just one part of the equation. Enoteca Emilia is situated in an old brick building in Cincinnati’s Hyde Park, and owner Margaret Ranalli has transformed the

In Enoteca, you’ll find an upscale, yet decidedly inviting atmosphere. Noshing on small plate offerings or one of Luers’ artisan pizzas, young professionals crowd the wrap-around bar that spans two rooms, while other diners populate the cozy main dining room, where they converse over wine.

And it’s the wine that provides the winning finish to every meal: Diners can choose from a healthy Italian list of red and white varietals served in glass, quartino or bottle form, begging patrons to share and sample a variety of vintages throughout their meals.

Marie Johnson and Matt Settles Married March 17, 2012.

Our Lady of Greenwood Catholic Church with a reception at Indiana Roof Ballroom.

Marie Johnson and Matt Settles met during their freshman year at Purdue University. Approximately, three-and-a-half years later, Matt offered to take Marie somewhere special to celebrate her upcoming graduation from college. Matt pulled up to the Chicago Botanic Garden and unpacked a picnic he had made for them. “He barely ate a thing,” Marie recalls. “He said he did not feel well.”

The couple ate and strolled through the gardens before stopping at a bench, where, after a few stuttered words, Matt dropped to one knee, produced a ring and popped the question. “It felt like a dream,” Marie recalls of his proposal. “It was perfect.”

The pair were married at Our Lady of Greenwood Catholic Church, the same church where Marie’s parents were married in 1987. Marie and Matt’s reception was held at the Indiana Roof Ballroom. The Settles went to Hawaii for their honeymoon, first staying on Kauai and then spending one week in Maui. They welcomed a daughter, Madison Rose Settles, on Nov. 18, 2012. “It was a perfect end to a perfect year,” Marie says.

weddings

Tiffany Munro and Joseph Birtchman Married April 28, 2012.

Martha’s Orchard, Clayton

Tiffany Munro and Joseph Birtchman had their first date in April 2010. “That first date comprised the two of us walking my dog around the neighborhood and through the McDonald’s drive-thru for milkshakes,” Joseph recalls. “We then sat together at my kitchen table and talked and talked and talked for three to four hours.”

After approximately a year of dating, Joseph decided it was time to ask Tiffany to marry him. In preparation for an annual Memorial Day family gathering, Joseph decorated the living room of his home with a sign that spelled out “Birtchman,” but this time, he revised the sign to say: “The Birtchmans.” He then spelled out “Will you marry me?” with leftover letters that he placed on a table. He covered the question with paper and called for Tiffany to join him in the dining room.

Tiffany said yes, and the rest was history. They were married on April 28, 2012, at Martha’s Orchard in Clayton. The ceremony took place in the orchard, and the reception was held in a barn on the property. “It turned out to be a beautiful ceremony and a spectacular reception,” Joseph says. “It truly was the greatest day of our lives.”

Field of Dreams Around the early 1900s, many towns and cities across the country had local baseball teams that played games before fairly large crowds. Some even charged admission to their competitions. A man named William Duff was said to have started the first ball club in Greenwood around 1911, says Ange Albsmeyer of the Johnson County Museum.
