Donating Children’s Shoes is Keen Act However, Flowers said that the biggest problem is the cost of getting the shoes to these overseas villages. “It is a huge expense,” she said.

Changing Footprints is currently looking for funding and/or grants for this expenditure. Please visit www. changingfootprints.com for details on how you can help and information on their shoe donation program.

By Mindy Fleming All right everyone; start gathering all your kiddo’s outgrown shoes, including sandals, rain and winter boots and slippers.

Now put them in a box and donate them to Keen Children’s Shoe store in Carmel. For over five years Keen’s has collected over 2,000 pairs of shoes. That’s 4,000 individual shoes, for 4,000 little feet and 20,000 little toes, most of whom have never worn a pair of shoes before.

Keen’s has partnered with Changing Footprints, a local organization that collects gently used shoes for children and adults. They then distribute them to local shelters and missionaries as well as poverty-stricken countries and natural disaster areas. “Everyone needs shoes,” said Lisa Flowers, owner of Keen Children’s Shoes. “It is a basic necessity that we take for granted.” Flowers also explained that it doesn’t matter what type of shoes these kids wear, as long as they have a sole. “These kids don’t complain about the color, style or even size of their ‘new’ shoes,” she said.

Keen Children’s Shoes is located at 20 Executive Drive, off Range Line Road behind Walgreens or you can go to www.keenchildrenshoes. com or call 580-9830 for more information.

Flowers went on to say that her customers who know about the program will donate the shoes right off their kid’s feet.

“After we get their children sized and the parents purchase new shoes, they go ahead and leave their outgrown shoes to donate,” she said. The most important thing about this program is that Flowers knows these shoes are going to the right place. “Changing Footprints sent over 1000 pairs of shoes to New Orleans after Katrina hit,” she said. “They send them to where they are most needed.”

found in a velvet-lined case, but nestled in a setting of farm fields just over the line in Boone County: Indianapolis Executive Airport. Commonly called Indy Exec, longstanding citizens of Hamilton County may recognize it by its previous moniker of Terry Airport.

Flying High at Indy Exec Airport

By Jane VanOsdol While Hamilton County certainly has its share of jewelry stores, one of its brightest gems won’t be

Indy Exec bears little resemblance to the Terry Airport of recent memory. In 2003, Terry Airport was offered for sale by private owner Ray Van Sickle to Boone County. The County turned down the offer, so Van Sickle approached Hamilton County. “The county council in their wisdom decided to purchase it,” said Ted Moran, board member of the Hamilton County Airport Authority. Hamilton County brought aboard fixed base operator Montgomery Aviation to manage the airport, and work began in earnest to repair and improve the airport to make it the hub of activity that it is today.

Indy Exec currently services over 100 based aircraft, of which about 30 percent are corporate owned and 70 percent privately owned. The airport caters to aircraft that can land on a 5,500-ft. runway, not exceeding 60,000 pounds. Technically speaking, this means Indy Exec can accommodate private jets on a dry surface with no crosswind. For those customers without access to a private or corporate jet, Indy Exec also offers the option of chartered flights.

Montgomery Aviation President and VP-Operations Dan and Andi Montgomery see the airport as a support and service for the community. “We’re a partner in the community,” said Andi. “We’re much more than people just flying around privately.” Montgomery Aviation and Indy Exec are collaboratively involved with Down Syndrome Indiana and The Jackson Center for Conductive Education.

Indeed, since Montgomery Aviation has taken over the 4

fixed based operations of Indy Exec, the airport has seen an increase in operations from 23,000 incoming and outgoing flights a year to 45,000. “The economic impact to this economy realized $88,000,000 in 2009 from this operation,” said Moran. That is up from $44,000,000 in 2005—an impressive jump by any standards.

In fact, Moran says that Indy Exec has become a popular jetport for continental flights. Location has a lot to do with it.

Many people who fly or who own an airplane live north of I-465, and Indy Exec is ideally situated between I-465, I-69 and I-65. “Corporations looking to relocate to Indianapolis generally look in that area … they tend to locate along the 31 corridor,” said Moran. He points out that when executives fly into and out of Indy Exec, they avoid the traffic hassles of traveling to Indianapolis International, as well as the actual congestion of that airport.

Runway 13. The project took 43 days and came in under budget at 3.7 million; the excess was returned.

Indy Exec is able to offer luxury services and benefits that make it a convenient stop for pilots. The airport boasts the only all-weather aircraft canopy in the Midwest, accommodating aircraft up to Gulfstream V. Passengers can embark and disembark protected from the weather.

Indy Exec has also rebuilt the instrument landing system and torn down several old hangars. They currently have 75 individual hangars and two large hangars that (Continues)

Montgomery Aviation staff are available to assist with car rentals, courtesy cars and hotel reservations. The airport has conference rooms with wireless internet access and offers pilot lounges for relaxation between flights. Gourmet catering is also available.

Additionally, Indy Exec has an aircraft maintenance facility for any maintenance issues and refueling. Should a plane need a part not normally carried, it can usually be obtained within 24 hours.

Indy Exec accommodates pilots who fly by visual flight rules and those who fly by instrument flight rules. Consequently, they have full-instrument landing system capability (ILS). At the moment, their minimums are a 200-foot ceiling and one-half mile visibility. Their remote receiver at the airport connects into the Indy Approach Control at Indianapolis International. Pilots using Indy Exec ILS can talk directly to the controller at Indianapolis International, who then releases the pilot for takeoff and landing when the air traffic is clear.

A crowning achievement for Indy Exec was being named the recipient of the prestigious Airport of the Year award for 2009 by the Aviation Association of Indiana.

Moran feels that several of the airport’s recent improvements helped them capture the award. “We were the first airport in the country to complete a stimulus project,” said Dan Montgomery. The $4.3 million grant was used to redo Carmel Community Newsletter

one of the planned improvements is to extend the current runway from its 5,500 feet to 7,000 feet so that it can can handle existing aircraft safely under adverse runway conditions relative to FAA safety guidelines. They also need a crosswind runway for the safety of aircraft landing and departing into the wind.

It’s obvious that Hamilton County’s plan to purchase the airport has paid off. Besides doubling the value in just four years, they have been able to accomplish that without any local tax money, even though they have the legal authority to do so. “So far we have not done that and hope not to,� said Moran. The airport is busy readying for the 2012 Super Bowl by adding a new parking ramp to handle the extra traffic. They also saw increased traffic from the Senior Open, which Carmel hosted this past summer. And, they remain busy with the Eagle Flyers club, a program for those wanting to earn a private pilot’s certificate.

Many men and women are bothered by their necks, and often notice that aging catches up quickly in this area. A sagging neck can be made worse by liposuction alone, as the extra skin is more noticeable.

A mini or full facelift, sometimes combined with a chin implant, can dramatically turn back the clocklook like YOU, 10 or 20 years ago. Incisions are inconspicuous and pain is minimal.

Lifts can be performed under twilight anesthesia and require little downtime. Generally, in a week you can return to normal activities and wear makeup.

The cost is around $5-7000., total Dr. Catherine Winslow is one of the most experienced facial plastic surgeons in the country, and would be happy to consult with photo morphing to show you what changes are possible.

Northview Christian Life Church: A Good Carmel Neighbor K. Paul Maurer, Local and Global Outreach Pastor at Northview Christian Life Church, sitting in the Capstone Cafe which is inside the Northview Christian Life campus. (Photos and story

by Jonathan Haag)

Northview Christian Life Church began in 1980 with about thirty people meeting at Carmel Elementary School. Today, ministering to over 3,000 people weekly, Northview has its own property overlooking a sea of homes in Carmel. I recently had the opportunity to sit down with K. Paul Maurer, Local and Global Outreach Pastor of Northview, to talk about how the congregation is reaching out in love and service to the city of Carmel and beyond.

and to each other. The Good Neighbor Initiative is but one example of how the church truly lives up to its mission.

K. Paul Maurer describes the Good Neighbor Initiative as “a lifestyle of service that has become the heartbeat of our church.” Maurer further points out that,“We [Northview] consider the Good Neighbor Initiative as not just a program or an event, we consider it a part of who we are.” The Good Neighbor Initiative puts leadership of service projects into the hands of the members of Northview instead of just the pastors.

Rebekah Whiteman, a student and member of Northview, perhaps best describes the powerful impact of this interactive neighborhood outreach. Whiteman served at Brookside Community Church this summer. Brookside, located in Indianapolis, is a church plant of Northview. Whiteman said this about her work at Brookside, “I worked with the kids during the summer youth program. We did activities and along the way, our team would show the kids how to portray God’s love.” Regarding her own experiences, she said, “Working

organizations such as Agape Therapeutic Riding Center, Diabetes Youth Foundation of Indiana, Habitat for Humanity of Hamilton County, Second Helpings, and Wheeler Mission Ministries.

Northview sends volunteers to these philanthropic organizations to help in any way that they can.

Beyond the Good Neighbor Initiative, the people of Northview can be seen everywhere you look. They can be spotted at Carmel Fest handing out water or on Mother’s Day, passing out flowers at Merchant Square. Maybe your child runs cross country, in which case, Northview has their very own course on their property. Northview’s DNA is to be a good neighbor to the people of Carmel and beyond!

Twyla Tharp once said, “Art is the only way to run away without leaving home.” A local Carmel artist is bringing this quote to life by allowing her clients an escape through the art she creates inside their homes.

Jacquelyn Van Dourn, owner of Van Dourn Designs, is a self-taught artist who honed her skills while working at a variety of different jobs, from stay-at-home mom to teaching aerobics classes. While an employee at Johns Manville, she often drew caricatures of other retiring employees, and began to receive encouragement to pursue art as a full-time career. She began painting murals in playrooms, and her business has found a thriving home in Carmel where she paints murals, faux finishes, and fine art on everything from walls to refrigerators. “Carmel has provided a very collaborative clientele. Many different styles are represented here, from traditional to contemporary, and by working with each client individually I’ve been able to expand my personal style while meeting, and often exceeding, the client’s expectations.”

One of her most recent jobs allowed her such creative collaboration with a Carmel homeowner. The homeowner was having her home remodeled, and Van Dourn was hired as a sub-contractor through CASE Remodeling. Beginning with an upstairs bedroom, Van Dourn worked her way through the home. She applied various faux finishes to the walls of the kitchen and laundry room, and repainted furniture in a guest bedroom. A stairwell leading from the garage to the

kitchen took on a new life with a 360 degree mural of a misty woodland scene.

Van Dourn’s favorite work in the home is located in the master bathroom, where she utilized a new technique she developed called “Boucle’.�

She created a Boucle’ border which wraps around the room, and is layered over a faux suede finish which she applied to the walls.

When asked about working with Jackie, the homeowner replied, “Jackie has been great to work with. She’s quite talented and creative and always comes up with great ideas. She’s also very professional and hard working and makes every attempt to get things just the way you want them.�

Van Dourn’s future plans include continued marketing of her Boucle’ technique and the possibility of expanding into outdoor murals.

Amanda Newman of Amanda’s City-Chic Consignment has seen an increase in foot traffic since the economic downturn of last year.

Booming Business Despite the Sluggish Economy, Some Carmel Businesses Find Ways to Flourish Article and Photos by Jennifer Alderman

November 2009

On a chilly fall morning, Amanda Newman begins her day by sweeping the leaves from the front porch and sidewalk of her store, Amanda’s CityChic Consignment in Carmel, a consignment store specializing in reselling furniture, home décor, and art work. “I wouldn’t say that people are spending more than in years past,“ states Newman, “but there are more customers coming into the store this year, both to purchase and consign their items.”

The consignment business is one among a handful of small businesses that are not only surviving in the recession, but also experiencing growth.

By getting creative in their business plans and providing affordable and satisfying services to cautious consumers, these local business people are proving that success during a down economy is possible.

Newman and her husband Jeff own Amanda’s City-Chic store, in addition to Carmel Consignment, which specializes in women’s clothing, and The Designer Men’s Room, located in Broad Ripple specializing in men’s clothing. Their shops have performed well this year, despite the economy, and Newman has a theory on the reason for this increase. “We have done 12

“You get out of it what you put in,” states Perrine. “I spend about 20 hours a week in my studio working and I spend a lot of time frequently listing items for sale in my shop. I could put more time in and make more money, but this is the right balance for me between work and taking care of my family.

Lampworking is my passion, and I feel very lucky that I can make money while engaging in that passion.”

more advertising this year in an effort to reach a broader client base, which has been successful. But I really feel it is more about people being creative in how they are making extra money and saving money. More people are staying home and looking for inexpensive ways to improve their homes, and they are also looking to reduce waste and not just throw things out. Consignment provides a solution to all of those issues.”

Newman also believes that the economy has motivated people to spend more money locally in an effort to keep their money close to home and support their community, which results in increased shopping at independently owned stores such as hers instead of larger chain retailers.

Finding a passion and then working to make it into a successful business is a theme shared by other Carmel residents enjoying success in today’s financial climate. For many of those, the passion comes from selling products through network marketing. Network marketing companies, such as Arbonne and Silpada, channel goods or services from the manufacturer to the consumer through a “network” of independent distributors or consultants. Julie Evanson started selling health (Continues on pg. 14)

The idea that consumers are choosing to spend their limited extra cash more carefully and on items that have greater personal meaning may explain the success Cherine Perrine has seen this year. Perrine is a Carmel stay-at-home mom with a unique talent that she has transformed into a thriving home business. Perrine is a lampwork artist, working with a fueled torch to melt rods and tubes of clear and colored glass and then forming the glass into beautiful beads. She began making glass beads in 1999 after becoming so transfixed by beads she saw in a shop that she was motivated to take a class to learn Cherine Perrine’s (right) the art form.

This has actually been a good year for me in terms of the bead business.” The decision to expand her business by selling on Etsy was an easy one to make.

“Ebay raised their fees, and I had to compete against mass market bead makers in Asia. Etsy makes it so simple to set up a shop and sell your goods, and I love the spirit of the handmade community that is encouraged by Etsy.”

Perrine is not the only one making money on Etsy. According to the Etsy website, $16 million of goods were sold in September, up 7% over the previous month.

Setting down her broom and surveying her store full of home goods, Newman says with a smile, “People are still being cautious about how they are making purchases, especially large purchases, but they are still buying.”

It would seem that with the right combination of value, creativity, and pursuit of a passion, it is possible to sweep away the negative effects of a down market like sweeping fall leaves from a sidewalk.

Local Bling Benefits Breast Cancer Research One of the most obvious destinations for major holiday shopping is your local jewelry store. After all, loved ones deserve some bling, right? But diamonds for breast cancer research? It makes sense to local retailer Dan Moyer, owner of Moyer Fine Jewelers of Carmel, who recently hosted the 2009 Fall Fashion Affair, an annual fashion and jewelry show and benefit. The event was held Oct. 15 at Moyer’s store on US 31 North, with 20 percent of the evening’s proceeds donated to the Indianapolis Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

“I was twenty-eight years old when I was diagnosed with breast cancer,” Miller explained. “I’ve survived six different surgeries, but I now stand before you cancer free.” However, Miller has also mourned the loss of a sister, who died of breast cancer when she was just 37-years-old.

“This is a great event that brings women together to celebrate beautiful jewelry, and to honor those who have fought the battle of breast cancer,” explains Moyer.

“The face of breast cancer is changing,” explained Miller.

“Cancer doesn’t care about your ethnicity, your financial background or where you live. Everyone is affected,” she said.

“Our first event was in 2003, and we started it mainly to demonstrate how to wear jewelry with daily or evening fashions,” explains Moyer. “We wanted to provide a fun and new opportunity to bring customers into the store,” he says.

The event has evolved into an anticipated once-a-year party.

This year, invited guests were able to enjoy cocktails and hors d’oeuvres provided by Kona Grill, while chatting with designer representatives and store associates. The fashion show was emceed by local Q95 radio personality Laura Steele, and featured sixteen models, many of whom have had personal experiences with breast cancer. Models’ hair and makeup were styled by the David & Mary salon and spa, and they donned a wide array of jewelry styles and price ranges.

The benefit, which has come to represent a chance to show off established, as well as up and coming designers, brought in over 150 guests.

“This was a wonderful night,” says Carmel resident Susan Boss. “It was a treat to try on so much fun jewelry in this setting, and for such a great cause. I’m honored to have met such amazing cancer survivors,” she added.

The highlight of the evening was when the final model, Nadia Miller, took the stage. Miller, a breast cancer survivor, delivered a heartfelt address to a captive audience.

It was all about the bling and breast cancer research at the 2009 Fall Fashion Affair, held Oct. 15 at Moyer Fine Jewelers in Carmel.

All participating models for the fashion show were from the local area, with some being proud breast cancer survivors. Twenty percent of proceeds from the annual event was donated to the Indianapolis Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. For more information about Susan G. Komen for the Cure, visit www.komen.org.

Jones, a giant in the hi-tech industry, seems to draw great strength from family ties. “I have lots to be thankful for this year,” he says, referring to his 18 month old son, Alexander Indiana Jones, who has come by for a hug before going down for his midday nap. Not only is Jones thankful this Thanksgiving to be surrounded by family and friends, including sons Benjamin, Andrew and Daniel, his life partner Vee, his parents, sister Susie, relatives and friends, he will be marking a personal victory as well. Top on his gratitude list is his nearly one year anniversary since successfully going through chemotherapy and radiation for Hodgkins lymphoma. It’s clear he is anticipating the family gathering.

“I fry turkeys outside,” says Jones. He and his friend Michael Meyers (owner of former Carmel Restaurant 210) cook the turkeys together. As an added annual treat and as a benefit of the property location, all guests get to watch the Hunt Club riders with their red coats and horns go flying through on horseback on Thanksgiving Day.

Thanksgiving: Carmel Style Notable Carmel residents share their favorite Thanksgiving memories and traditions. Above, Scott Jones fries turkeys for family and friends at last year’s Thanksgiving dinner.

Before dinner, Jones usually tells a story related to the theme of Thanksgiving. Guests hold hands, say a prayer and each states what they are most thankful for. In addition to a lively mix of relatives and friends, Vee and her mother add their special native Cambodian dishes to the traditional American menu.

By Denise Reiter Thoughts of Thanksgiving can send us down memory lane in an instant. Memories of a house full of relatives and friends; a thousand variations of stuffing and casseroles; the goodwill in the air, all conjure up a cozy picture to rival a Norman Rockwell painting.

“Carmel is a great place to build a hi-tech company like ChaCha,” says Jones. He describes the people, the Midwestern values and ethics as key to his attraction to the city.

“Just being in a place that’s willing to put in roundabouts is progressive. With the Regional Performing Arts Center coming together and the Arts & Design District, Carmel is going to be amazing and ChaCha is going to play a role in helping these things get off the ground.”

Here are some favorite Thanksgiving memories from local Carmel residents:

Carmel attorney and entrepreneur Mickey Maurer looks forward to staying home this year and spending time with family.

Steven Libman, the recently named Regional Performing Arts Center’s Executive Director, is happily anticipating a first Thanksgiving spent with his two grandchildren. Since moving to the Midwest, he and his wife, Keitha, are geo-

Traditions are big with Carmel innovator and entrepreneur Scott Jones.

In prior years, Thanksgiving meant a large gathering with his extended family in Louisville. His grandmother and matriarch of the family, Sarah Jones, hosted the celebration each year. With her passing a year and a half ago, his English country manor home in Carmel has become the new setting for his family’s Thanksgiving gathering.

graphically closer to their Cincinnati-based daughter and her husband. “Thanksgiving is all about family and friends,” Libman says. “I like to cook. Two years ago, I cooked a big, lavish dinner for very dear friends who joined us from Charleston, South Carolina. We hadn’t seen these friends for many years. It was a small and intimate holiday, but a wonderful and special memory!” Having lived here just a few weeks, Libman has observed that Carmel is an “incredibly friendly community. The people are very nice. Keith and I just love that about Carmel.”

Mickey Maurer, Carmel attorney and entrepreneur, very emphatically states, “Holidays come alive when little children are around.” In prior years, his family has gathered in Arizona, but this year they plan to celebrate right here in Carmel. Father of 3 and grandfather of 7, Maurer is clearly looking forward to interacting with his growing family.

“When they move out of the cradle and are able to walk and talk it’s exciting. We’ll have a blast.”

between us and toasted its first and last appearance.”

Charlie Morgan (Vice President/Market Manager at Emmis Communications) says this year will be just like the last 47, lunch at 12:30 p.m. at Aunt Margie’s and Uncle Harold’s. Turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, rolls, pumpkin pie, table turkeys made of fudge stripes, Reese’s pieces, candy corn and the same family stories we tell every year!

Lynsay Clutter, WTHR news reporter and Carmel native, says her Thanksgiving memories generally revolve around food. Growing up, Thanksgiving meant three generations coming over for her mother’s homemade stuffing, Aunt Jane’s candied sweet potatoes, and Aunt Marion’s cranberry sauce. “The food is what keeps popping into my head, but looking back reminds me of how blessed we really were to spend the holiday together every year with the same wonderful people, the same good conversation, and the same traditions.”

Matt Frey (owner of Bub’s Burgers) is the youngest of five children. He remembers a lively time at the Thanksgiving table. “We always had family dinner together, but Thanksgiving was special because it was in the dining room,” he recalls. Memories of older brothers and sisters, playing on the floor and watching football in front of the fire. It sounds totally storybook, but it’s all true. Thanksgiving is a great time of year. I love it!”

Lynsay Clutter Wilson (right front) with her husband Jamie (far right) and daughter Anna at a recent wedding last month in California.

Clutter Wilson’s Thanksgiving memories include her two sisters (front left to right) Robin and Nancy as well as (center) mom and dad. Brother-in-laws (back left to right) Damon, Dan, and youngsters (front left to right) Jackson and Connor make for an even bigger and better holiday for the growing family.

Mo Merhoff (President of the Carmel Chamber of Commerce) recalls a Thanksgiving when she and her husband Paul returned from a food and wine chef’s weekend determined to add a pumpkin soup with foie fras dumplings recipe to their Thanksgiving menu. “What we failed to recognize was that although the chef put it all together in an hour, he had several sous chefs, who had already prepared everything for simple assembly. Despite our early start Thanksgiving morning, we realized we’d had more enthusiasm than sense when we reread the first few lines in the recipe ‘First, roast the pumpkin; puree in small portions ….’

The soup took six, grueling hours. Seven hours later, as our 15 guests were praising our pumpkin soup, we raised a glass Carmel Community Newsletter

Woodbrook Bazaar Benefits Sunflowers in December Sue Eckl and Becky Helgeland, who organize the Woodbrook Bazaar, stand in front of Tyler Frenzel’s Colts jersey which is located in the hall of Woodbrook Elementary School. The 2nd Annual Woodbrook Bazaar will raise money for Sunflowers in December, which was created in memory of Tyler. (Photo and story by Mindy Fleming)

For more information about Tyler’s story or Sunflowers in December go to www. enisfurley.com/tyler.htm.

In addition, for information about Gary Brackett’s IMPACT Foundation, you can visit www.garybrackett.org.

November 2009

Sue Eckl is a mother of three beautiful girls; wife of 16 years; friends with many Carmel moms; and most notably, founder of the Woodbrook Elementary Holiday Bazaar.“I know several people with at-home businesses, such as Silpada, Arbonne and Pampered Chef, who don’t have time to ‘host’ parties and network,” said Eckl. “So I thought it would be a great idea to get everyone together to sell their products.” The Bazaar was launched last year and was a huge success, raising over $2,000.

The 2nd Annual Woodbrook Bazaar will be held Thursday, November 12th from 4-8 p.m., at Woodbrook Elementary School located at 4311 E. 116th Street in Carmel. Some of this year’s vendors will include Scentsy, Tupperware, Kara Vita and several local boutiques, as well as jewelry and food vendors. Contact Sue Eckl at s.eckl@sbcglobal.net for more information or for vendor space inquiries.

“I was thrilled when Sue approached me about giving money toward Tyler’s efforts,” said Pam Frenzel, Tyler’s mom.

“We don’t want to forget Tyler and the great life he had.”

In 2006, Tyler’s parents founded Sunflowers in December, an organization to honor Tyler’s time with us. “All the money raised will go to Sunflowers in December,” said Eckl. “We will be selling vendor space, as well as raffle tickets and refreshments to raise money.”

This year, Sunflowers in December will donate the money to Gary Brackett’s IMPACT Foundation, whose mission is to provide opportunities and resources to children affected by cancer. Sunflowers in December also hosts an annual charity event on December 11, which will also generate money for this foundation. “Each year we donate to a different charity that helped Tyler in some way,” said Frenzel.

A Journey of Creative Renewal We all feel the need to recharge our batteries from time to time; physically, mentally or professionally. Some turn off their cell phones, take a vacation or go for a run. Carmel High School Art Instructor, Jonathan Kane found a way to take it a step farther; much farther. This past summer, as a recipient of an Eli Lilly Teacher Creativity Grant, Kane and his 13 year-old daughter and budding artist, Julia, traveled to Venice, Italy to draw and paint.

The idea to apply for the grant came to Kane as he watched his daughter paint with incredible self-confidence and spontaneity. Kane explains, “The Italians call it ‘sprezzatura’, which means to make difficult tasks seem effortless.” Kane, who teaches numerous courses at Carmel high school such as Advanced Drawing, Painting, and Independent Study classes, is an accomplished artist himself. He found his daughter’s uninhibited artistic style to be quite inspiring.

When writing his grant, he proposed that if they could travel together to Italy, drawing and painting together while surrounded by great masterpieces, they would mutually learn from one another’s styles. Kane also anticipated taking this great learning opportunity and applying it to his teaching at the high school. “I find that what I want for my own children is often the same thing I want for my students.” Kane continues, “I not only want them to know and appreciate where they are from, but also to connect with and explore this earth to discover their part within it.”

Kane and daughter, Julia worked extensively on sketchbooks, and took over 2,000 photographs in their travels.

Kane’s ultimate goal is to continue learning from this trip by creating works of art alongside his daughter, inspired by their sketchbooks and photos. Kane implements the daily use of sketchbooks with his students as well, teaching them to get into the habit of observing the world around them and to find inspiration in it. Several Carmel businesses such as Evan Lurie Gallery, The Blue Egg Gallery and Vine & Table Gourmet Market have collaborated with Kane and his students to take their art beyond the classroom and into the community.

Recently, Kane also received a grant from the Carmel Clay Education Foundation. Through this grant, he was able to attend a Gouache Painting Workshop in Michigan. Kane believes that in order to be able to teach art effectively and creatively to his students, he needs to prioritize time in his life for his own art. Kane adds, “I can’t expect creative growth in my students if I don’t find it within myself.”

Kane has found a great interconnection between his professional life as a teacher, his passionate life as an artist and most importantly, his family life. Balancing parenthood, his love of teaching and finding time for creative renewal provides a well-rounded life for Kane. “When that starts to happen, the world just makes more sense,” he adds. Kane’s work can be seen at www.jonathankanefineart.blogspot.com.

November October 2009

mysteries and suspense books, The Mystery Company is a vital connector for the literary arts community. Certainly you can purchase any number of books there or enjoy a treat from the shop-within-a-shop chocolatier as you browse through thousands of titles. But what you may not know is The Mystery Company is a hub of activity that encourages the art of writing to flourish in Carmel and, in fact, the entire region. And that is an important asset to our city as we focus on building a thriving arts economy.

Listen to Huang for very long and it becomes apparent that he has a love affair with books. His career began in Boston as a book reviewer. Then, a happenstance opening at his favorite bookstore led him to hands-on experience as a bookseller. From there, he and his wife operated a bookstore in Kalamazoo, Michigan and later opened their venture in Carmel in 2003.

“The [Monon] trail has been a huge asset for us,” says Huang. “More people stumble in from the trail than you can imagine!” Traveling by foot prevents large sales, but once people find The Mystery Company, it’s a safe bet they’ll come back having discovered this treasure trove.

The Mystery Company: Carmel’s Literary Treasure Jim Huang, Owner of the Mystery Company, enjoys one of his favorite titles.

The Mystery Company 233 2nd Ave SW Carmel, Indiana 46032 317-705-9711 themysterycompany.com

Besides its unique charm, the bookstore connects writers with each other and helps to cultivate budding authors.

Huang observes there is a “huge desire for writing assistance among people who come in” with manuscripts in various stages of development. For those, The Mystery Company has a publishing division called Crum Creek Press with 11 titles in print and 3 more in progress.

By Denise Reiter Take a short walk on the Monon Trail, just south of Main Street, and you will find a gem of a bookstore.

Owned by husband and wife Jim Huang and Jennie Jacobson, The Mystery Company is tucked away in Carmel’s Arts & Design District, but its work to enliven, encourage and engage Carmel’s literary life is no secret.

The Mystery Company provides opportunities to meet and listen to writers throughout the year. Books make wonderful holiday gifts, and the store’s Author Holiday Event on Saturday, November 21, from 2-4 p.m. will be an opportune time to meet and pick up a signed copy of various authors’ books.

The literary arts enrich a community’s life in many ways.

Take a walk on the Monon and discover The Mystery Company.
