SERVICE ABOVE HERSELF KATIE SMARDO, NEW ROTARY DISTRICT GOVERNOR

“It made me want to become more involved,” Smardo said. “I soon after accepted a position on the club’s board as secretary so that I could get to know the members better. That also afforded me an opportunity to learn more intimately about what the club was doing in terms of projects and community engagement.”

Rotary Governor Designate Katie Smardo speaking at a Carmel Rotary Club meeting

It was Smardo’s first opportunity to serve on a board and learn about leadership and board protocol. It changed everything that she felt about Rotary and her reasons for belonging to her club. Smardo was in her mid-20s when joined her club. After joining, she immersed herself in what a Rotary membership could offer a young professional in her personal development. “It totally opened my eyes to what Rotary is,” she explained. “I began attending the district conferences and immediately was put on the path upward on the officer ranks.” She was elected president of her Kokomo Early Risers Club in 2006-07. At the end of her term, the club had a net gain of five new members. This is an accomplishment for a young president and a young club. “I learned so much about myself and my leadership capabilities,” Smardo reflected. “I truly learned what Rotary is about and what its capabilities are on a local and international level.”

Writer / Janelle Morrison

The Rotary District 6560, representing Rotary clubs including the Carmel Club, recently announced that one of their members was selected as governor designate for the year 2016-17. Katie Smardo, vice president and commercial banking officer with Lake City Bank, will be one of the youngest district governors in the district’s history. Smardo’s Rotary story begins in Kokomo, Ind., where she first joined the Kokomo Early Risers Rotary Club in 2003. At that time, her job was located in Kokomo, and she was looking for a way to engage with the business community. The “wrong reason” to join, she said. “I was commuting to Kokomo from Westfield for my job as a relationship banker,” Smardo explained. “I was starting in a community where I didn’t know anybody, and I was looking for a way to network to build my business. I didn’t know anything about Rotary or what ‘service’ meant.” Within a few weeks of her Rotary induction, she found that her fellow Rotarians were incredible individuals, and she was deeply affected by their community spirit.

After a job transfer to Indianapolis, Smardo continued to drive in the early mornings to her club meetings, but soon found that it was necessary to transfer her membership. Her sponsor for her membership to the Carmel Rotary Club was Barry Grinder, a friend of Smardo’s. She became quick friends with fellow Rotarian Rich Taylor, who invited her to be a part of the Arrows Young Professionals, a group under the auspice of the Carmel Chamber of Commerce. At the time, the Carmel Rotary Club was also trying to prospect the young professionals of the community for membership. Since the time that Smardo joined, the Carmel Club has seen a larger presence of young professionals joining and a balance of male to female members. When asked how she plans to address the clubs within the district in which she’ll serve on how they plan to increase their memberships and connect with the young professionals of their communities, she replied thoughtfully. “There are clubs that are challenged to bring in the younger members,” Smardo said. “Once you invite a couple of young professionals and set the roots, then the ‘yp’s’ will bring in more of their friends and colleagues. That is something I hope that I can help drive as the district governor. I’ve traveled to a lot of the clubs and enjoy visiting with them. Every club is so different. They’re run differently, they’re structured differently and the demographics are different, but everybody is equally welcoming."

8 / CARMEL COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER / MARCH 2014 / atCarmel.com

As one of youngest district governors in the 6560 District, Smardo will have the daunting task of relating to members of all ages and backgrounds while encouraging them to grow their clubs and use traditional and social media marketing to reach out to their communities to share the Rotary story. “There’s a huge process of overcoming a preconceived disposition that it can’t be done or it has to be done a certain way. If any business or organization isn’t growing, it is dying. If Rotary clubs don’t take it upon themselves to demonstrate to their communities who they are and what they do, then they will struggle. It is not who I am to be out there telling people what to do or how to do it. I don’t operate that way in my business, in my family or in my circle of friends. The way I do operate is to invite involved parties to sit down together and talk about our goals. If I don’t hear someone say that the goal is to grow membership, then we’re going to talk about that. Let’s help each other get there together. I recommend using their club’s current membership to attract like-minded people and using social media. It is not as daunting or expensive as people might think it is.”

clubs, and learning to balance all things including her personal life. Smardo has been married to her supportive husband, Frank, for 11 years. In her spare time, Smardo also serves as co-chair for the Carmel Chamber of Commerce Arrows Young Professional Group, and is past president of the Scene Leadership Council for the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. She currently serves as a board member of the Carmel Rotary Club and is the club’s membership chair. She is a Paul Harris Fellow, an award given to deserving Rotarians. She — along with seven other notable young professionals — was featured in a local publication’s 2012 list of the most influential young professionals under 40 to watch. Smardo said she is looking forward to the challenges that she’ll face as the district governor in 2016-17 and will look to her assistant district governors, club presidents and past district governors to help her lead the 6560 District into the next chapter of Rotary and how the organization engages its communities and young professionals.

Smardo shared that her greatest challenges while serving as district governor will be also working a full-time job, providing the highest level of customer service to both her clients and her

LOCAL CADDY LOOPS TO A FULL RIDE SCHOLARSHIP JOHN “JACK” CONWAY – EVANS SCHOLAR RECIPIENT Writer / Stephanie Carlson Curtis

Want a summer job that could pay your college tuition? Swing into a caddy program and earn money by serving golfers, carrying their bags and offering sound advice. John “Jack” Conway caddied at Crooked Stick Golf Club on the west side of Carmel for six years and was awarded an Evans Scholarship, a renewable grant valued at

about $70,000 each year, a potential of $280,000 covering tuition and housing for four years of college. “When I first began caddying, it was more of my mom telling me to go,” said Conway. “For a high school kid, it was a great way to make money. There were a lot of hot days, and it was a lot of hard work. It was miserable sometimes, but it’s all worth

it now.” Conway is the fourth of three previous brothers to participate in the caddy program at Crooked Stick, and all four have received the prestigious award. “Without this program, my sons would not get to attend college,” said Lisa Conway, Jack’s mom. “Caddying has helped them with life skills, obedience, proper etiquette and relating to professional businessmen. It has been a wonderful experience for our family.” “It is unique that there are so many from one family,” said Matt Cohoat, a Western Golf Association director. “WGA is the group that provides funding for the Evans Scholarship. Applicants must have caddied 100 loops or rounds. This takes four or five years of full-time caddying to achieve. The kids that apply compete with thousands of young men and ladies across the nation.” Cohoat and his brother, Jeff, both caddied at Crooked Stick, became Evans Scholars and attended Purdue University. The Evans Scholars Foundation was established in 1929 by Chick Evans, who contributed his earnings from the game of golf to maintain his amateur status and created a charity that helps caddies from modest means realize their dream of higher education. The WGA awards 200 full tuition and housing grants each year. Presently, there are 840 caddies enrolled in 19 universities and 9,800 alumni. The selection criteria include academics, financial need, caddie record, character and leadership, as well as a minimum 3.25 grade point average. “I believe the discipline instilled by my mom, even though there was adversity and struggle, taught me valuable lessons and how to push through hard times in life,” said Conway, whose parents divorced when he was 8 years old.

Taking Back the Track Writer / Molly Godby . Photographer / JJ Kaplan

The Indy 500 is the greatest spectacle in racing. Two of your neighbors have joined the race, and so can you. While hanging out one night, they were discussing business ideas, like the entrepreneurs they are, and the idea was born. Jason Godby, a Zionsville resident, and Travis Tetrault, who lives in Carmel, have decided it is time to “Take Back the Track.” And so begins the story of Cutters Race Team, or CuttersRT. Why “Cutters”? Well, any true Hoosier has seen the movie “Breaking Away” and knows how the term was used in the film when local Bloomington kids often were referred to as “cutters” by Indiana University students. It was meant as a derogatory term used to describe locals who worked in the limestone quarries in the area, and use of the term led to altercations between some IU students and some local kids. A bike race, the Little 500, is put on each year at IU. Thirty-three teams made up of four individuals each race for 200 laps to crown a winner. In the movie, the university’s president invites a local team to enter because of all of the bad blood between the boys. To show their pride in who they are, the locals race in team shirts with the name “Cutters” on them. As you can guess, the Cutters ride to victory, showing that local underdogs can accomplish great things. Godby and Tetrault have been 500 fans since they were kids and also love what the race has done for the city of Indianapolis. As Godby says, “When the Speedway is successful, it’s a win for the city and for the people of Indy.” And the love for the race extends far beyond the city or even the state of Indiana. People from all over the world are huge fans of the Indianapolis 500. They cheer on

their favorite driver or race team. Families have made attending the race a tradition, and those who can’t attend watch with friends and family from their living rooms. Whether at the track or at home, they buy race merchandise, drag in their coolers full of beer and food, and wait in anticipation for the announcement of “Ladies and Gentlemen, start your engines!” Then the scream of the engines takes hold, raising goosebumps and cheers from the fans. But Godby and Tetrault want to cause even more people to be excited about the race. They want to reignite old fans who have lost interest in the race, and to attract new fans who don’t know what they were missing. The corporations and the Speedway have done a great job, but Godby and Tetrault want more — more passion, more fans and more people involved. They also want to level the playing field so that a corporate CEO and a person with a regular job both have the same opportunity to play a part in the Indy 500. This would seem an impossible feat to most. Traditionally, sponsorship means “big money sponsorship.” How can the average American stand a chance to be involved? The typical person has no chance to provide “big money sponsorship” of a car. The best the typical fan can hope for is simply to watch the race and see the cars and driver through the fences or watch the events at home on TV. But what if there were a way to pool the money of all these fans so that they could put a car on the track? A way to level the playing field and bring the people of Indiana and fans all over the nation together as never before. To give the fans a chance — an affordable chance — to experience the race up close and personal.

14 / CARMEL COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER / MARCH 2014 / atCarmel.com

The idea of crowd funding came up. With crowd funding, there could be a monetary goal that one team, CuttersRT, could set so that tens of thousands of fans could join together to have their car in the race. It had to be affordable for working men and women. But most important, the choice to become a Cutter team member had to mean more than a push of the button on a computer. A contribution to the Cutter dream had to be a personal experience like no other. Crowd funding was doable, this they knew, but how could they take it to that next level, the level beyond mere fundraising? Godby and Tetrault decided to make sure that every person who put his or her money on the line would have the opportunity to say, “See that car? I sponsored it! My name is on that car!” Not only that, they want all Cutters to have the chance to do the things they have always dreamed of doing. To sponsor a car, to go to exclusive parties, to visit the garages and pits, and to wave their rally towels in unison as their car races past! This would be crowd funding for the pure fun of it. Above everything else, it would be fun. This would be the personal experience every race fan wants. They worked countless nights to build a plan to make the dream come true. After a full day’s work, dinner with the family and kids were put to bed, Godby and Tetrault sharpened their ideas. First things first. The plan had to include a car. They talked with several race teams. When they talked with Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing, that team got it — they understood the concept. They were excited about the idea and wanted to be a part of the movement that Godby and Tetrault were creating. SFHR was looking to help longtime race fans get “The People’s Race Car” on the track. Sarah Fisher, a 25-year racing veteran, is an Indy fan favorite, having been voted “Most Popular Driver” four times in two separate series (Indy and NASCAR). She also was chosen as one of “Indy’s Best & Brightest Leaders Under 40.” In addition to being popular and classy, she also was the fastest woman to ever qualify for

the Indianapolis 500. Not only that, Fisher was the youngest woman to ever compete at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Now that’s a racing resume. In 2008, Fisher decided to start her own racing team, Sarah Fisher Racing. This owner wanted to race her own car in the Indianapolis 500, but she was having a hard time finding sponsors.

Willis “Wink” E. Hartman, of Wichita, Kan., heard about Fisher’s financial difficulties. Virtually out of the blue, Hartman wired Fisher the money she needed to qualify her car for the Greatest Spectacle in Racing, and they have been business partners ever since. Now known as Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing, this team has enjoyed many successes, such as a podium finish in the Grand Prix of Baltimore and the fastest Honda driver times on four practice days at the Indianapolis 500 in 2013, finishing 14th in points. On Feb. 3, CuttersRT announced they would be attempting to enter an entirely non-corporate crowd-funded car in the 2014 Indianapolis 500, with the help of SFHR. This car, with a driver yet to be named, will be known as “The People’s Race Car.” Now it’s time to get down to business. These local, homegrown Hoosier boys are working to create a movement. Their $1 million goal is set and the team is calling on YOU and race fans everywhere to participate in the Indianapolis 500 in a way never done before.

You can join CuttersRT and be an official sponsor of the SFHR entry, all for only $100. There are various sponsor packets available. Each packet offers different options for opportunities to participate in trackside events prior to the race. Let’s do it, race fans! Listen to the sound of the engine, see your car heading out of the pits. Feel the excitement as your car takes the lead on turn four and heads down the straightaway. And as “The People’s Race Car” crosses the bricks at the 98th running of the Indianapolis 500, be proud that you helped create race history. To become a sponsor, visit cuttersrt.com. Visit them on Facebook at CuttersRT and Twitter at @cuttersrt. Molly Godby writes for the Alzheimer’s Association of Greater Indiana and is a stay-at-home mother of two.

DANNY BOY BEER WORKS ON TAP from the WWI era and is the nickname that Irish mothers dubbed their doughboys that went away to war. Today, Danny Boy Beer Works operates as a commercial nanobrewery producing and distributing over 5,000 kegs annually.

currently live in the Village of WestClay and the location is convenient. The village has been very welcoming and easy to work with. This was the best fit for our needs and we are committed to the community and the growth of WestClay.”

Kevin and Lainie Paul, the proprietors of The Brockway Public House and Danny Boy Beer Works brewery, are expanding their enterprise along with their partner, Prescott Sanders. The Danny Boy Beer Exchange will be located on .21 acres at 12702 Meeting House Road with a projected opening date of June 2014.

Danny Boy Beer Exchange will offer a family-friendly environment to best serve the local residents. These publicans chose west Carmel as the site of their newest endeavor for its location and because the Pauls, who reside in the Village of WestClay, are advocates for the community’s growth and long-term success. They also needed a building that would accommodate their brewery’s specific needs that will boast an outside seating capacity of 120-plus.

What differences the patrons of The Brockway and new customers of the Danny Boy Beer Exchange can expect are primarily the architectural themes of each of these facilities.

The Pauls opened the Brockway in downtown Carmel in 2007. After achieving success with the pub, they founded Danny Boy Beer Works, Carmel’s first brewery, in 2011. The term “Danny Boy” originates

“We wanted to own our building for the brewery,” Lainie explained. “It’s going to have large-scale equipment in it. There aren’t a lot of existing buildings that have the space available for what we need. We

“Oh, Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling …” They’re calling you and your friends to the Danny Boy Beer Exchange, an upcoming brewpub and taproom planned for the heart of the Village of WestClay community in west Carmel.

atCarmel.com / MARCH 2014 / CARMEL COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER / 21

Jake Skjodt, Branding Manager for Danny Boy Beer Works

“The Brockway is styled after a Dublin industrial pub, a corner public house that you would find in the industrial areas of Dublin, Ireland,” Kevin explained. “The architectural aspects of design are more linear and simplistic than the ornate Celtic or cottage or farm-style pubs that you would see throughout the United States. What we’re going to do with Danny Boy Brewery is move from the Irish-centric style and make it more Irish-American, more ‘Boston Irish.’”

“We’ll have four to six staple beers, and we’ll take iconic flavors or styles, whether it be a stout, IPA or a wheat beer, and put what we feel would be a craft spin on it,” Kevin said. “Our Black IPA, which is inspired by a black Irish stout, has a number of different West Coast hops in it that give it that hoppy flavor and nice roasted finish. It has an appropriate balance to make it a session beer. Our craft beers’ alcohol contents fall between 5 and 8 percent for the ‘session’ beers.”

The Danny Boy Beer Exchange will reflect a 1920s design, more industrial and purposeful. One elevation has an industrial factory feel and the south side of the building will have the feel of that era’s firehouse, with large overhead doors and entrance doors with transoms and awnings. The interior will have cement floors, corrugated sidings, and Belgium blue stone or gray soapstone bar tops for the taproom.

Currently on tap is their flagship beer, Training Day. This American pale ale is 6 percent alcohol by volume, with citrus, centennial and cascade hops in it. This makes for a nice, drinkable APA. They offer their Scottish contribution, Mac Daddy, and for a great summer “lawn mower” wheat beer, patrons will want to try their Miss Ginger Witte. The Miss Ginger Witte has a nice coriander and ginger feel to it. They’ll have a vanilla chocolate stout and a Mexican fiesta lager that will be an easydrinking or summer beer.

Lainie & Kevin Paul, Publicans and Founders of Danny Boy Beer Works & The Brockway Pub

Kevin explained how their system would operate within the Danny Boy Beer Exchange. “We’re going to have a 15-barrel system. A typical craft brewer is between 10 and 20 barrels and with the number of fermenters that we have, we’ll brew 2,000 barrels to start with or 4,000 kegs for internal and retail consumption. In addition to the Indianapolis market, we have relationships in the Chicago, New Jersey and Fort Myers markets. We’ll start canning at the end of 2014, probably four different beers, including our Training Day and Black IPA.” Jake Skjodt, the brewery’s brand manager, explained, “We’ll have 50 taps and 30 guest taps. From our own brews, it will come right from the barrels to the taps. IPAs are the biggest trend in the craft beer industry. We bring beer that everyone likes but add our twist to it. Our APAs are drinkable. You can drink three or four instead of one or two before switching to something lighter. Our IPAs are palatable and easy on the taste buds as opposed to some extremely ‘hoppy’ IPAs that are on the market.”

Test your brawn at the Pumper Pull While planning the construction and grand opening of their newest location, the Pauls are pleased to continue what has become a popular community celebration and fundraiser for the Carmel Fire Department, the seventh annual St. Patrick’s Day event and Pumper Pull contest. Following true Irish-American tradition, the event will include a Pumper Pull contest in which local firefighters, police officers and even corporate teams from around the state will compete by pulling an old-school pumper engine. A true exhibition of brawn, the teams compete for who can pull the pumper 60 feet the fastest. Following the Pumper Pull contest will be the Keg Toss competition. The Keg Toss competition will host divisions for children, women and men. Tossing empty kegs is an old Irish tradition that the Pauls enjoy simulating at their event. Their St. Patrick’s Day celebration and a variety of events will take place March 14 through March 17 at The Brockway Public House at 12525 Old Meridian St. in Carmel and benefits the Carmel Firefighters IAFF Local 4444 Bereavement Fund. “One of our first customers was Sean Sutton, the current president of IAFF Local 4444 of Carmel and his wife, Karen von Kamecke Sutton,” Lainie reflected. “We quickly built up a close relationship with the CFD, right from the beginning.” The CFD paired up with the Pauls and they combined their annual St. Patrick’s Day activities with the celebration at The Brockway Public House. Their collaboration has resulted in an annual event that people from all over the state come to enjoy and celebrate with their families and friends. The Pauls will continue to support local events and engage with the community at the Danny Boy Beer Exchange.

UNITED TO STAND AGAINST DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IN HAMILTON COUNTY Joan Isaac, Area Director of United Way for Hamilton County

Writer / Janelle Morrison Photographer / Melissa Lawson of Bizzzeybee Photography

Looking back, you thought you were with “the one.” You were going to be together forever, raise your children to be successful adults and you were going to live happily ever after. Then you lost your job, the kids were having issues at school and somehow this was “all of your fault.” Your world has been turned upside down. You chose to believe that you would never let “it” happen again, yet the abuse didn’t end and you had to choose between leaving your home and friends, taking your children to live in a shelter that is a one-hour ride one way, or risk your lives and stay. You decide to leave, and now you’re left to pick up the pieces that feel like they are scattered all around and you have no clue as to where to even start. Would you have left your situation earlier if you had access to a safe place for you and your children within your own county? If only there were a shelter closer to home. Domestic violence. A phrase that is not a favorable topic of everyday conversation, but it affects households throughout Indiana daily. A statistic provided by Connect2Help states that 1 in 4 Hamilton County families experience domestic violence. Out of Indiana’s 10 largest counties, Hamilton County is the only one without a domestic violence shelter.

Michelle Corrao, Assistant Director of Prevail

The Hamilton County Women’s Shelter Task Force was created after a team consisting of members of the Hamilton County Leadership Academy Class of 2013 released their Domestic Violence Services Provider Matrix. This matrix represented the educated recommendations of more than 150 individuals representing a litany of organizations, advocacy groups, law enforcement agencies, health care facilities and victims of domestic violence. This thoughtful report extensively defines what abuse is and provides a thorough assessment of what the needs are within the county. The task force was spearheaded by Joan Isaac, the Hamilton County area director of United Way; Hamilton County Commissioner Christine Altman; Carmel City Court Judge Brian G. Poindexter; the town of Fishers manager, Scott Fadness; the CEO of Alternatives, Mary Jo Lee and Kandi Floyd also of Alternatives; Noblesville Police Chief Kevin Jowitt; the sheriff of Hamilton County, Mark J. Bowen; the executive director of Prevail, Susan Ferguson and Michelle Corrao also of Prevail; and the manager of Vision Noblesville, City of Noblesville, Cindy Benedict.

Noblesville Police Chief Kevin Jowitt

This task force began to identify the current services supporting domestic violence victims and was able to determine the gaps in services. The largest gap, or need, was quickly identified as a lack of a physical shelter option in Hamilton County. According to the 2010 Census report, Hamilton County is the fourth-largest county in Indiana and has the eighth-fastest growth rate in the country. By 2050, Hamilton County will become the state’s second-largest county. At the current growth rate of Hamilton County a current need of 35 beds at a shelter facility will potentially grow to a minimum of 80 beds. Joan Isaac spoke about the current relationship that Alternatives, which is located in Anderson, and United Way have and how they are a crucial component of the proposed shelter project. “Alternatives has been a United Way agency for years,” Isaac said. “They are the established domestic violence shelter for Hamilton County, although located in Madison County. Together we realized that we have an issue in Hamilton County regarding domestic violence and people’s awareness of the services that are available.”

Christine Altman, Hamilton County Commissioner

In 2011, Isaac met with the Julian Center in Indianapolis and with Alternatives to figure out if they would be interested in operating a satellite shelter and how it could possibly work. “Doing a satellite shelter like this is unheard of. We looked at case studies across the nation and did not see where a domestic abuse shelter had created satellite facilities. Since Alternatives is the established domestic violence shelter in Hamilton County, it made sense, synergy-wise, to have them consider operating that shelter,” Isaac concluded. The first thing that the task force did was to create a site selection committee to explore the different options available. Would the land be donated? Was there the option of renovating an existing building? The task force has identified an initial price tag of $5 million to $7 million, new build cost, which also includes funds for operation costs. More than 22 sites have been considered for the shelter. In the list of possible sites are 3.8 acres of county-owned land that is located along Cumberland Road in Noblesville and is just south of the jail complex. Hamilton County Commissioner Christine Altman had proposed that the county agree to a 50-year lease for the property. Altman has approved donating the land, and from there it will go to the Hamilton County Council for the final approval. Mary Jo Lee, CEO of Alternatives, spoke about the current services that their shelter provides, their challenges and what role they would play regarding a satellite shelter. “Alternatives is located within Madison County,” Lee stated. “We opened in 1978 and serve six counties. We have 48 beds. We have had numbers up in the 50s. This has been a very tough year. It’s hard on families when the economy is challenging and when people lose their jobs. Over the last three years, we’ve seen an increase in people seeking shelter and services.”

Carmel City Court Judge Brian G. Poindexter

Susan Ferguson, Executive Director of Prevail

An increase in the county’s population has also been a factor in the increased number of domestic violence calls and shelter residents. The population increase does not automatically guarantee additional funding. In actuality, federal funding has decreased due to sequestration. “People hear the term sequester and they really didn’t know what it means,” Lee explained. “We know very well what it means. It was a 5 percent cut across the board on our federal grants. One of them was a 23 percent cut. It was a hefty cut since we operate all of our programs on a budget of $1.2 million annually.”

Mary Jo Lee, CEO of Alternatives, located in Madison County and is currently the established domestic violence shelter for Hamilton County

When asked how they differ from other Indiana shelters that are struggling to keep their doors open, Lee replied, “Altnernatives is known as one of the top shelters in the state of Indiana. We know how to run an agency very efficiently. With the growth in population in Hamilton County, it certainly supports the need for a shelter. We have the right team working to bring the shelter to reality. We, along with our board of trustees, would not be entering into that kind of commitment if we felt it would jeopardize our whole agency, and we’re not going to let victims down. Once the shelter is in operation, they will be counting on us.” Altman described some of the issues that affect victims and, specifically, their children.

Kandi Floyd, Hamilton County Program Manager at Alternatives, Inc.

“We felt that women were going back into the abusive household and taking their children back just because the services were not available locally,” Altman said. “State law specifically requires school systems to provide transportation for students in this type of situation. If the family has had to seek shelter because of domestic issues, the school will literally send a bus to the shelter and transport back and forth. However, it is not acceptable for a child to be on a bus for up to four hours a day when you think about southern Clay Township going all the way up to Anderson, going to school and back. As a parent or as a local elected official, that’s unacceptable. Especially when the family’s in crisis and they’ve had enough trauma in their life.” Representing the judicial arm of this initiative is Carmel City Court Judge Brian Poindexter. “We have to not only plan for our current needs, but we have to recognize that our needs are going to grow because our population’s projected to grow rapidly. It wouldn’t hurt to have a facility slightly over capacity because we should expect that we’re going to need that additional capacity in the coming years. I have the practical experience of 25-plus years as a prosecutor and judge and recognize the needs of victims of domestic violence and their families immediately following the incident of domestic violence,” Poindexter explained. “If we’re going to ensure their survivability and if we are going to ensure that it doesn’t happen again, as best as we can, there are a number of things we need to do. One is to remove the violator from the scene. They are initially going to be arrested and processed, and so there’s some temporary safety during the period in which the person is arrested, processed and jailed until they make bond or are released.

Domestic violence is a pattern of behavior used to establish power and control over another person through fear and intimidation, often including the threat or use of violence. Domestic violence can include physical, emotional, psychological, economic and/or sexual abuse. Abusers use threats, intimidation, isolation and other behaviors to gain and maintain power over their victims.

OVER

Following that, we’ll need a safety plan in place for the family members, a safe place for the victims to go, and a shelter provides that in the easiest fashion. When you get the person out of the dangerous situation and develop a safety plan, we can guarantee, at least initially, that they are going to be safe.”

Where can victmims find shelter? Hamilton County victims must now seek shelter in Madison or Marion counties (at Alternatives Inc. or The Julian Center, respectively). Not being close to their jobs, local resources or schools is often the cause for prolonged shelter stays.

The support of the local law enforcement will be instrumental throughout this process and the task force knows it has strong partnerships with the county sheriff and chiefs of police throughout Hamilton County. Kevin Jowitt, chief of police for the city of Noblesville, gave an account of a recent demonstration of their support of the proposed shelter at a county council meeting last year. “We have realized for a long time that we need a shelter facility,” Jowitt said. “Our troops feel the need for this almost every day that they work. We have about 1,800 domestic violence runs in a year in Hamilton County. When a presentation was made to the Hamilton

The idea is that we will closely mirror the concepts being used in Madison County — they’ll find themselves being taken to a very warm, friendly, caring place. They will know that they will be safe. Their children will be safe. The immediacy of safety that a shelter provides doesn’t create a long-term solution, but it is a doorway to a long-term solution. It allows for resources to start coming into place in a way that’s not being inhibited by the abuser to where we can allow a person to become established and independent.” Prepared to overcome the challenges that await them, this dedicated task force will continue to meet with potential stakeholders and potential partners for the Domestic Violence Shelter in Hamilton County in efforts to gain support for this cause.

ZOOMOOS ON THE PROWL

There was still something more that Dinges wanted to achieve, and soon the opportunity presented itself. Her present employer had and continues to prepare Dinges for the challenges of owning and operating her own business. “Ferguson is a very large but entrepreneurial company,” Dinges explained. “They are very empowering with their people. I ran my own branch, had my own profit and loss statement, and it taught me a lot about how to run a business. I had to manage people, vendors and numbers. I had to make sure there was enough money to buy general office supplies down to the toilet paper. It’s been an incredible experience for me. I understand the profit margin that a distributor needs in order to be successful.” Her career at Ferguson has prepared her for the experience of purchasing, dealing with returns, meeting with vendors and creating displays. It all eventually led to the creation of her brainchild, ZooMoos. “I came up with the idea because my daughter, Audrey, is a complete milk-a-holic and we’re always on the go, Dinges said. “We’re at the pool, the park, etc., and she always wants ice-cold milk. A lot of places don’t serve milk and I would put coozies on her sippy cup to keep her milk that we brought cold. When I went to look for an insulated child’s cup, all I found was a plain green coozy, and I thought that it would be great if there were coozies for kids that were unique and fun. My kids adore their stuffed animals, so I designed animal coozies that were functional. I designed them all so they’re proportional on each side to make them easy to hold on to. ZooMoos add spice to everyday life by being functional and fun. They are constructed of neoprene and will keep drinks cold but are stuffed, plush and handcrafted to provide fun for children too. With ZooMoos, they will have their favorite animal wrapped around their favorite drink."

She’s a working mom by day, attentive mom by early evening and an entrepreneur by night. Diana Dinges, a Carmel resident, has launched her own product line, ZooMoos, while working a fulltime job and raising her two children as a single mom. “I went to Center Grove High School and graduated from Purdue University. I majored in management with a minor in marketing,” Dinges said. “After college, I went to work for Ferguson, a Fortune 500 company in Texas. I transferred back a year later and started managing the Ferguson showroom in Carmel. I was engaging in business-to-consumer sales and business-to-business sales and managing the showroom.” During that time, Dinges had the first of her two children, Audrey. She was working 10-hour days and was taking the necessary steps to move toward realizing her dream. “In August of 2011, I was working full time and had both of my children. I was and continued to be very involved within the community. I serve on two boards, the Home Artisans of Indiana and NARI, and am the chair of NSID, a design organization."

Dinges described what it was like for her to see and hold her products for the first time after receiving her first shipment. “It felt really amazing,” she said. “You put yourself out there. No one wants to fail. It’s really easy to hide behind something, but I felt really excited and empowered but also very vulnerable. This year I had the most amazing professional year of my life, and then a start over of my personal life and became a single mom. This year was too drastic with three big events that happened, and it was a range of emotions, but more than anything I am really proud. I have no regrets. I am proud that I stuck with something and worked through some of the initial challenges." Dinges signed up with Kickstarter, the world’s largest funding platform for creative projects. Through crowd-funding, where people pre-buy a product in hopes to help further the development of it, ZooMoos was off to a good start and ready for production of its first line of the adorable animal-themed children’s coozies. When asked how she manages to have it all and balance the time spent on work and her children, she replied, “We all have the same

amount of hours in the day, and we all get to choose how we use it. I work all day. I come home and play with my kids, fix dinner and run bath time, and once they’re in bed I work on ZooMoos every night until midnight. I do it because I like to work and I want to succeed. I have to take every extra hour and make the most of it.” There are sacrifices made along the path of success. Dinges said she’s had to decide between attending a Super Bowl party with friends that she hasn’t seen in a while or work on orders, packaging and calling on boutiques that may be interested in selling her products. She chose to stay home and work through the day. Dinges hopes to be a positive role model for her growing children.

“I’m doing it all for my children,” she said. “I’m doing it as an example for my kids. One of the top reasons for my doing this is to show my children hard work. I think that is really important. The cycle of growth in social and economical development is seeing what your parents did. Watching them get up and go to work is really healthy. For my children to see me working in my office and my products laid out, they get really excited and they love to go with me to deliver my product. I’m teaching my children hard work, entrepreneurship and tenacity.” ZooMoos are available for purchase at Ballerinas and Bruisers in Zionsville and online at zoomoos.myshopify.com.

EVENING OF “DOWNTON” FOR AN ENDOWMENT AN

Writer / Janelle Morrison . Photographer / JJ Kaplan

was recently transported back into time as a guest of the Carmel Clay Public Library Foundation’s spectacular event themed “A Downton Abbey-Inspired Evening.” The event was part of the Carmel Clay Public Library’s 100th anniversary celebration of the opening of the Carmel Carnegie Library. The event was held Jan. 29 at the Palladium at the Center for Performing Arts in downtown Carmel. The evening’s agenda included a presentation by Jessica Fellowes, the No. 1 best-selling author of “The World of Downton Abbey” and “The Chronicles of Downton Abbey.” Fellowes is the niece of Lord Julian Fellowes, the creator and writer of the popular series “Downton Abbey”, and is a rather witty public speaker who speaks to audiences on the characters, story lines and sociohistorical context of the show. I had the extreme pleasure of an exclusive interview with Fellowes on the parallels of our society during the turn of the last century and our present day society. “It was a period of huge change,” Fellowes stated. “The world between 1912 and 1923 changed as if 100 years had gone past. In terms of technology and society, our cultures, and the expectations, I think that we have gone through something similar in the last 10 years, particularly with technology and how that has affected all kinds of things social and cultural. From Google and Twitter to Botox and gay marriage, all of our social frameworks have changed. It’s all just the way it was 100 years ago, and as exciting, but sometimes a bit overwhelming. I think that we like looking back to the past. It makes us feel a bit more secure to look back at how they did it and how they were able to cope. It’s almost a subconscious relationship that we have with characters of the show.”

Fellowes concluded with an observation: ransform your floorplan with Beazer “I feel that we think that 100 years ago everybody knew what was expected of them.

With included a VIP reception that was in theme maids fluttering about with their feather with the Downton Abbey era. There were dusters, the lords and ladies filled the halls of the Palladium conversing about the weather and hors d’oeuvres, which delighted the reception’s guests. What was particularly fascinating was witnessing the re-enactments of a social gathering from 100 years ago and envisioning what one would look like at that very spot many years later in the structure that was built to last centuries. What would a social event —at no additional cost! look like 100 or 200 years from now?

use those funds or contribute them to the library to run a variety of programs that are in place.” This includes the purchase of books, tapes, CDs, downloads and a variety of other purposeful equipment and resources that are available to the general public. Poindexter explained how the public uses the library and the resources that are found within, making it a vital and still very relevant institution for the Carmel community. “The library, more than ever, in our current structure serves as a meeting or gathering place,” Poindexter explained. “I think that any person who’s familiar with the library, if they were to explore corner to corner throughout the library, would find areas and rooms that they weren’t aware of. Regular patrons are aware that we have a program room at the library where various programs are conducted. We bring in authors, children’s programs and a variety of other programs that take place in that room. We have another room that is set up and is often utilized for books clubs, where they have their club meetings. There are technology rooms in the library with computers that can be utilized. There are computers in the children’s area that can be utilized, and there is a coffee shop where at any time of the day I see people sitting around the tables. They are usually doing primarily one of two things: tutoring or networking. These are not just students, but I have observed a number of adults who are working on resumes or are preparing to study for a certification.” When asked how the general public can contribute or assist the library, Poindexter replied, “There are a number of ways to benefit the library. There’s no contribution that is too small or that cannot be used. People can also make a contribution by volunteering at the library.” Upon learning about the foundation’s

initiatives and having attended the special evening that kicked off their fundraising campaign, I believe that Poindexter; Greg Achten, representing the Gregor Jacobs Group; the Winners; Megan Gregor, the event chair; Ruth Nisenshal, the CCPL Foundation director; their many co-chairs;

r i v a t e

members of the CCPL Board of Trustees; and their sponsors deserve a special mention for their continued efforts toward securing the CCPL’s growth and long-term future and for creating a beautiful reenactment of a time long passed.

IU SCHOOL OF NURSING CELEBRATES 100 YEARS IU SCHOOL OF NURSING DEAN MARION BROOME, PH.D. Writer / Kara Reibel

This June, the Indiana University School of Nursing will celebrate its 100th anniversary. The year will also mark the 10th year for Marion Broome, Ph.D., serving as the dean. An IBJ “Woman of Influence” in 2011, Dr. Broome began her nursing career in the Army, where she was stationed at Fort Gordon in Georgia. She was assigned to a pediatric unit and knew instinctively this would be her career focus. It was there that she met her husband, Capt. Carroll Broome. He was a member of the signal corps and is a Vietnam veteran.

“ Health care is shifting to the community. The shift will see growth in community care, with increases in wellness, preventive care and a stronger focus on more holistic chronic illness management.”

leader in research and education, its highly competitive programs have expanded. Student enrollment has increased by 20 to 30 percent over the last 10 years, and the numbers remain strong. The IU School of Nursing offers a full range of degree programs and has the infrastructure in place to meet the needs of the future in health care.

“Health care is shifting to the community,” indicated Dr. Broome. She further explains that hospitals will have fewer beds, with increased — Dean Marion Broome, Ph.D. capacity for intensive care, surgical care and emergency departments. Back in the 1950s, the Associate in Science “The shift will see growth in degree was created to address a nursing Dr. Broome received her master’s degree community care,” states Dr. Broome, “with shortage. There were not many schools in family health and her Ph.D. in child and increases in wellness, preventive care and that offered a nursing baccalaureate at family development from the University of a stronger focus on more holistic chronic that time. Every decade or so since that Georgia.

The results of this study created the future trend in nursing care would involve the need for access to health care services a baccalaureate as a minimum requirement to and preventive care.

A opportunities with this shift in health care. experienced changes over the last 60 years.

This study looks closely at women returning to work and how to best handle that transition as well as sleep, stress and quality of life after chemotherapy. There are many more studies, all important and relevant, whose findings may help benefit those with diabetes, those with cancer, stroke victims and their caregivers, and teens. The reach of IU’s nursing school extends across the Atlantic to Africa. In Monrovia, Liberia, IU has partnered with the University of Liberia to establish the first public baccalaureate program in nursing and midwifery. Students currently enrolled at the Tubman National Institute for Medical Arts at JFK Medical Center will complete their degree at the University of Liberia. An IU nursing alum, Wvannie Scott-McDonald, Ph.D., who is Liberian, received her master’s degree and her doctorate at the IU School of Nursing at IUPUI. It was through Dr. Scott-McDonald’s efforts and initiative that this school liaison was achieved. Dr. Scott-McDonald’s cousin is the president of Liberia, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, who was awarded the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize. Abroad or stateside, Dr. Broome indicates that preparing students for their careers in nursing is the single most important role of IU’s nursing school. With the dynamics in health care continually changing, creativity and flexibility of health care providers is a must. Dr. Broome, throughout her tenure, has witnessed changes in nursing care as well as foreseen changes to come, adapting as necessary to meet demands and to be ahead of the curve. Research is an important component of IU’s nursing school. IU focuses on symptom management with studies focused on helping individuals maintain or improve their quality of life. Recently in the news, attention has focused on a current study of music therapy with teens experiencing chemotherapy. In an article by the BBC News, “Making Music Videos Helps Young Cancer Patients Cope,” IU music therapist nurse researchers, led by Dr. Joan Haase and Dr. Sheri Robb, found the patients gained resilience and improved relationships with family and friends. All the patients were

undergoing high-risk stem cell transplant treatments. To produce their music videos, the young patients were asked to write song lyrics, record sounds and collect video images to create their story. In another study, the nursing school is examining the experience of diabetic teens transitioning from high school to college. Dr. Kathleen Hanna’s study of these teens may help others transition to managing their own care independently. IU’s nursing school is also studying cognitive changes in women during and after chemotherapy.

Little known fact: Audrey Geisel (widow of Theodore “Dr. Seuss” Geisel) is a graduate of IU’s nursing school and received her honorary doctorate in 2005. Not only is June the 100th anniversary of the nursing school, but Dr. Broome and her husband, Dr. Carroll Broome, have another major event to celebrate: their daughter’s wedding. Drs. Broome have two grandsons from their son and daughter-in-law.

he Lucas Estate hosted IU Health North Hospital’s inaugural Philanthropy Gala on Feb. 8. Approximately 150 attended the event, many of whom were physicians and staff of IU Health.

If you are interested in supporting IU Health North Hospital Philanthropy, contact Tracy Miller, director of the Office of Philanthropy, at northgiving@iuhealth.org.

The attendees enjoyed a dinner catered by Lucas Catering and were entertained with an amazing performance by speed artist Dan Dunn. Dunn is a well-known performer who has appeared on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” and with Jimmy Fallon. After Dunn completed three amazing paintings in less than 10 minutes each, they were auctioned off by Dr. Sheldon Weiss to raise additional funds for the gala. Attendees also received a heartfelt message from Heather Carpenter, wife of IndyCar driver Ed Carpenter. “The inaugural Philanthropy Gala for IU Health North Hospital was a tremendous success,” said Jonathan R. Goble, president and chief executive officer of the IU Health North Central Region, which includes IU Health North, Saxony and Tipton hospitals. “We’re grateful to the many physicians who attended to help build our philanthropic fundraising efforts that will allow us to enhance support services for our patients.”

SENTINEL

Funds raised at the inaugural Philanthropy Gala will be used to support the development of a rooftop garden at IU Health North Hospital. A major gift given by Marlyne Sexton made the rooftop garden project possible. The garden will be built on the fourth floor of IU Health North Hospital and will offer easy access to fresh air and a healing respite for patients, visitors and associates. Fundraising for the project will continue in the future and will include the opportunity for individuals or groups to honor or memorialize loved ones through the purchase of benches, trellises and bricks that will be placed throughout the garden.

TRINITY FREE CLINIC’S TAILGATE FOR CARE FUNDRAISER Photographer / Lori Koppold (Pictures & Posters Photography)

The Trinity Free Clinic, a nonprofit, faith-based outreach ministry of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church, is dedicated to serving the health care needs of low-income residents of Hamilton County. On Jan. 25, it hosted its “Tailgate for Care” fundraiser at Ritz Charles. Attendees paid $75 to don their favorite football jerseys and party with friends without having to brave the frozen tundra outside. As you can see, a great time was had by all while raising money for a very worthy cause.

INDIANAPOLIS OPERA PAYS TRIBUTE TO THE WILD WEST Writer / Alex Hall

If you have ever been curious about opera, a lover of arts in general, or if you grew up alongside the era of spaghetti Westerns, “The Girl of the Golden West” just may be your gateway into the eloquent art form of grand opera. Sitting down with Carol Baker of the Indianapolis Opera to talk with her about this upcoming show, it was abundantly clear from the start by her enthusiasm that viewers are in for something very special. Written as a play by David Belasco and later adopted for opera by Giacomo Puccini under the name “La Fanciulla del West,” “The Girl of the Golden West” tells the love story of a gal named Minnie who runs a saloon in a town in the 1850s that finds itself bombarded with miners seeking wealth in the California gold rush.

Baker is excited, as this is the first time they’ve done this production before. Her committee has been working closely with the Nashville Opera Association, which has allowed them to rent all of their scenery that was used when the production was presented in Tennessee back in 2011-2012. With most production pieces Indianapolis Opera does, a lot of the production photos — which are used to help tell the story of the piece — have to be made from scratch. However, due to the symbiotic relationship between the Nashville Opera and the Indianapolis Opera, both productions will be quite similar. Othalie Graham will be reprising her role as Minnie from the Nashville production, and Carmel’s very own Damien Geter, a musical and performing arts teacher at the University High School and professional opera singer, will be playing the role of Sid.

atCarmel.com / MARCH 2014 / CARMEL COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER / 53

Baker explained that “The Girl of the Golden West” stands out to those who might be on the fence about whether opera is something for them. There are plenty of hooks that aim to draw in newcomers to the art form, such as the emphasis on staying true to being both a love story and a spaghetti Western. Baker explains that the production is extremely visually stimulating, melding art and projection on the stage in a very unique way, thanks to Nashville’s artistic director John Hoomes. “We really worked hard to find different ways to appeal to different segments of the community, and also remaining authentic to the art form. You want to find pieces that pique your curiosity that hit people in different times in different parts of their lives,” Baker says. “The Girl of the Golden West” will make its way onstage March 21 and March 23 at Clowes Memorial Hall on the campus of Butler University, performed in Italian with English supertitles. For more information on the production, visit indyopera.org/girl-of-golden-west.html.
