Home of Distinction

1914 TROWBRIDGE HIGH ST… Carmel, IN Village of WestClay Looking from the outside, one might think this is just an ordinary, traditional brick home... like might be found in just about any neighborhood in Carmel. But inside, the personality of the family and color palette are certainly not traditional by any means. Each room is uniquely its own and there are no drab walls in this home. The trim work is mostly accented in white as is most of the cabinetry which shows off the nice craftsmanship. There is wonderful sun light that streams through the windows making the expression of the rooms cheery and bright. It’s amazing what paint will do to transform a space … likewise, if this home was painted entirely with grays or beiges it would look entirely different. This home has recently been listed for sale and has an open floor plan with a fully finished lower level. There is a screened porch off of the Great Room that steps onto a generous sized deck overlooking a spacious back yard. The ceilings in most rooms are raised with coffered or trey effects which give rooms volume. No “Shades of Gray” with this home!

LOOKING FOR AN ALL BODY LOW IMPACT WORKOUT?

INDIANAPOLIS ROWING CENTER OFFERS A SOLUTION FOR ALL AGES Writer / Rebecca Wood

Twelve years ago, Carmel’s Janet Klochko walked into her first rowing class at the Indianapolis Rowing Center. Klochko was in her mid-40s and looking for an activity that would combine her love of the outdoors, water and exercise. “I wanted to find an all-over workout that would not be high-impact on my knees and joints,” says Klochko. Rowing proved to be a match for Klochko. Since that first class, she’s become a regular at the Indianapolis Rowing Center and an evangelist for the sport. Zionsville’s Sue Iffert shares a similar story. Five years ago, a friend invited her to try a class at the Indianapolis Rowing Center. She immediately took to rowing and has continued in the sport. “It’s great to be in your 50s and competitive again,” declares 52-year-old Iffert. “It really gets your adrenaline going.”

How individuals land at the Indianapolis Rowing Center varies. Members of the tight-knit community range from teens to 70+ year olds. Some, like Klochko and Iffert, discover rowing later in life. Others are former collegiate rowing athletes who want to continue in their sport. Adolescents, who row for either recreation or competition, make up part of the community. Jen Floyd, Executive Director of the Indianapolis Rowing Center and a member of the 2008 U.S. Olympic rowing team, says the Indianapolis Rowing Center welcomes rowers of all experiences, ages and abilities. “Some may be intimidated or think rowing is an Ivy League sport,” Floyd contends. “It’s not; it’s a sport for everybody.” Floyd lauds rowing as a lifelong sport that promotes teamwork and social interactions. She says that the Indianapolis Rowing Center caters to the needs of both the recreational and the competitive rower through programs, classes and camps. 10 / CARMEL MAGAZINE / APRIL 2016 / atCarmel.com

LEARN TO ROW CLASSES Learn-to-Row (LTR) is an introductory class for adults (or parent/child) to the sport of rowing. Over the course of six hours, IRC coaches and volunteers will teach you proper rowing technique, inside and on the water, as well as educate you on rowing terminology, safety and teamwork. The focus will be in eight person (sweep) boats. There will be the opportunity to scull in a single person boat Saturday mornings after you have completed the class (free for the remainder of the month).

CLASS DATES

April 11-13, May 2-4 & June 6-8

COST $80 FOR MORE INFO

call 317-327-7100 or go to indyrowing.org

For the novice, Floyd recommends attending the Learn-To-Row classes. These introductory classes teach proper rowing techniques, terminology, safety and teamwork. Classes are held each month and consist of two sessions of three-hour instruction.

The Indianapolis Rowing Center operates from the reservoir in Eagle Creek Park. Floyd touts the location as one of the “top race courses” in the country. The reservoir’s 2,000-meter course has served as the site for many national and worldclass competitions like the 1987 Pan Am Games and numerous U.S. Rowing National Championships.

Upon competition of these preparatory classes, an individual can participate in the group programming for the remainder of the month at no charge. For those interested in continuing in the sport, the Indianapolis Rowing Center programs include weekly training sessions with experienced coaches. Camps and other sessions are offered for adolescents ages 12-18. Some rowers participate in local or national regatta competitions. The Center offers memberships that allow access to the boathouse and equipment. Some memberships include program options.

During the winter months, training is conducted at the Riviera Club in Indianapolis. Klochko rows three times a week with the Master’s Sweep and Sculling Program. Although she started rowing for exercise, she considers the friendships formed within the group as an added bonus. “It’s not just a great sport,” says Klochko. “It’s a great group of people who share a love of rowing.”

QUARTERLY UPDATE WITH MAYOR BRAINARD

Writer / Janelle Morrison Photos submitted by the USCM

Over 30 years ago, Indianapolis had the honor of hosting the annual United States Council of Mayors (USCM). Last year’s USCM was held in San Francisco, but this June, it’s coming back to Indy. Mayor Brainard, one of the 13 trustees for the USCM, has attended these annual conferences and is excited for it to be hosted in Indianapolis this year. More importantly for Carmel, Brainard reached out to Mayor Joe Hogsett, and Hogsett accepted Brainard’s invitation to have Carmel host the mayors for an evening. The USCM is the official non-partisan organization of cities with populations of 30,000 or more. The primary roles of the USCM are to: promote the development of effective national urban/ suburban policy, strengthen federal-city relationships, ensure that federal policy meets urban needs, provide mayors with

leadership and management tools and create a forum in which mayors can share ideas and information. “The USCM is meant to influence federal policy in a favorable way towards cities” Brainard explained. “We discuss every imaginable topic from parks, early childhood, climate, road funding, culture, city livability issues and anything that going on at the federal level. Whatever Congress is looking at, we are discussing it at the USCM.” Since it’s a presidential campaigning year, Brainard said that it is possible that the USCM in June may be visited by some of the presidential candidates. The conference is already a main attraction for major news networks, and their media affiliates and should receive sizable coverage while in the heart of the Hoosier state. Brainard revealed his plans that are still developing to host the mayors on the first night of the USCM conference.

atCarmel.com / APRIL 2016 / CARMEL MAGAZINE / 13

“The conference is in Indianapolis for four nights,” Brainard said. "The first night, we are going to bus all of the mayors in attendance up here to Carmel. We will enjoy a brief show by Michael Feinstein at the Palladium, an elaborate picnic with musicians on Center Green and then there will be an after party on Main Street, which will be closed to vehicular traffic for the event. The galleries will be open extended hours, and it will be quite an event. “We expect to have approximately 400450 mayors in attendance. It was nice that Mayor Hogsett reached out and accepted our city’s invitation to host a ‘night out’ here in Carmel to show the mayors from all over our country who Carmel is and what we have accomplished here.” Carmel Magazine is proud to be one of the approved media outlets to cover this year’s USCM, special appearances and the events as they unfold in Indianapolis and here in Carmel. For more details and coverage of the upcoming conference,

“The U.S. Conference of Mayors looks forward to holding its Annual Meeting in Indianapolis this summer. Each meeting is an opportunity for the host city to showcase the best that it has to offer, while also enabling mayors to share ideas about what works works in local government. Mayors from cities all across the country will have the chance to experience true Indy hospitality.” —Tom Cochran, USCM CEO & Executive Director

stay tuned and follow us on our social media outlets and at townepost.com. Later this month, the city of Carmel, will be welcoming attendees to the Rotary District 6560 Conference that will bring in Rotarians from all over Indiana and will be hosted by the Rotary Club of Carmel. The conference will be held at the 502 East Event Centre located off of East Carmel Drive. Conferences, such as these, are beneficial to the local economy as attendees will likely book hotel rooms in the immediate area. Guests of the conference who have never been to Carmel may take note of some of the city’s shopping, dining and entertainment attractions and plan a return visit. “In addition to the economic benefits that come with hosting conferences, this is another opportunity to showcase Carmel,” Brainard expressed. “It’s way to promote our city and maybe even attract future residents that may choose

14 / CARMEL MAGAZINE / APRIL 2016 / atCarmel.com

to move here.” In other news, Brainard weighed in on the city’s efforts to assist with workforce attraction and development, a rather popular topic of discussion. Enough so that Edward Cone, a renowned expert, will be speaking at the All-County Luncheon hosted by OneZone in mid-April. With cities like Pittsburgh, Louisville and other similar markets focusing on strategies to address the needs of a changing workforce and workplace, our city’s leaders also have pulled together their resources to address the needs within our county and city. “We are doing a good job attracting companies, but the companies will only come to Carmel if there is a workforce,” Brainard said. “Carmel’s doing what we can to attract people. Over the holidays, we put up ads at the Indianapolis Airport, thinking that we may catch the attention of people traveling here to visit. We directed people to a landing page on our website

where they can learn more about Carmel and everything that we offer. We will probably continue with similar efforts throughout the year.” Brainard mentioned that the biggest challenge to Indiana, specifically central Indiana, regarding attracting people and companies from outside of the region is simply our natural topography or lack thereof. “We do not have the mountains or oceans that some of the other cities do,” Brainard stated. "We have to work even harder at making sure that our environment is exceptional and interesting. The central Indiana market is a cool and fun place to be with a lot of opportunities for those who like sports, cultural activities and many other wonderful amenities for people to enjoy.

MEET THE MURPHYS

AN INTRODUCTION TO THE NEW CEO OF IU HEALTH AND HIS FAMILY Writer / Janelle Morrison Photographer / Chris Bergin & JJ Kaplan

On May 1, Indiana University Health will welcome Dennis M. Murphy as its new CEO. IU Health is one of the largest healthcare systems in the state with 17 hospitals and health centers and also one of the state’s largest employers with over 30,000 employees. Murphy succeeds Daniel F. Evans, Jr. who held the position for 13 years. Murphy brings to the position remarkable experience, an optimistic vision for the future of IU Health and a passion for improving the health of the citizens of Indiana. Before choosing healthcare administration as his career, Murphy studied and prepared for a completely different career path. At the age of 14, Murphy attended the St. Lawrence Seminary High School with plans on

becoming a Catholic priest. Raised in a strong Irish Catholic family in a Irish-Polish emigrant neighborhood in Chicago, he came to realize that he had a desire to serve his fellow man, but he also wanted a family. He would spend some of his summer vacations visiting the family’s farm in Ireland. “It was important for me to give back, and I figured out that I was still able to give back, just in a different way,” explained Murphy. Murphy’s educational background includes a degree from where else? The University of Notre Dame in pre-professional studies with a focus in political science. Afterwards, Murphy attended and earned a master’s degree in healthcare administration from Duke University. Murphy came on board as the IU Health TownePost.com / APRIL 2016 / TOWNEPOST NETWORK

Chief Operating Officer (COO) in 2013 and was named president in September 2015. Prior to moving to Indiana and joining IU Health, Murphy was the COO and Executive Vice President for the renowned Northwestern Memorial HealthCare system located in Chicago, which like IU Health, is closely affiliated with a medical school. Murphy’s resume also lists being Vice President of Ambulatory Services and Financial Planning for University of Chicago Hospitals and a decade of service at the prestigious Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland, as Administrator of the Department of Medicine. Murphy is highly regarded in his field for a litany of accomplishments over the span of his career and continues to garner the respect of his peers and colleagues for his innovative

cancer, the leading cause of cancer death. Kristy feels similarly in that it has been a great move for the family. She also has an extensive background in healthcare administration and fully supports the demands of her husband’s position. She has become involved with local charities such as the Women for Riley and fundraising in general for IU Health. As a family, she mentioned that the entire family volunteers for Gleaners Food Bank when possible. She also emphasized the importance of balancing her family’s and husband’s schedules and how she and Dennis prioritize to put their family first. The Murphys in IU Health-North’s Serenity Garden: Kristy, Dennis; (back row) Dennis, Ella and James

strategies and system-wide initiatives. While serving as the Executive VP and COO at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, they opened a 328-bed women’s hospital, and he was credited with implementing strategic plan initiatives that resulted in lowering costs and improving outcomes, improved overall patient satisfaction and advocating for the continued development of clinical research and education programs while collaborating with private physicians and the medical school affiliates. Since joining IU Health, Murphy has played an instrumental role in the expansion of IU Health Plans, giving patients access to high-quality, comprehensive care focused on improving their health. He has also led the design of the IU Health system’s new organizational structure and Lean improvement efforts. “This job appropriately allows me to grow much more into a strategic leadership capacity,” said Murphy. “I view my role as being a steward of an organization with a reputation for providing high-quality care, a strong leadership team, solid partnerships and an impressive record of success. Our hospitals have been here for over 100 years. Our job is to ensure that they’ll be here for the next 100 years to

provide care for patients and populations who come to us. Indiana does not rate well on a number of health measures, and ‘as the leading healthcare provider in Indiana,’ we must improve the health of patients throughout the state.” After accepting the position with IU Health, Murphy moved his family from Chicago to Westfield where he resides with his wife, Kristy, and their three children, Dennis, James and Ella.

“When Dennis comes home, the whole house lights up. He’s extremely engaged – he’s not on his phone or the computer. Conversation and connecting are important, and it’s incredible – he’s able to extract things from the kids or learn about their days in a matter of minutes and takes a very sincere interest in all of us. You’ll find him shooting basketball with James, playing volleyball with Ella and working out with Dennis when he’s home from college. We make time for family meals as much as possible, which is over 50 percent of the time.

“For us as newcomers, the move has been fantastic,” Murphy expressed. “People have been incredibly warm and welcoming. On the first day that we moved into our house, we had neighbors from all over the neighborhood come over to greet us. That kind of reception made us feel at home and allowed us to acclimate quickly here. It has meant a great deal to me to know that my family feels comfortable and is enjoying living here. This relocation has been a wonderful experience both personally and professionally.”

“When I’m downtown volunteering or there for meetings, we make time for lunch. It’s important to find pockets of quality time when we can. The kids’ school activities and sporting events are scheduled on his calendar. And when there are evening work events, they tend to include spouses, which is nice. We read an article that said it’s not so much about balancing or separating work and personal life, but integrating the two. It’s what we practice. It’s all very cohesive and helps keep us connected as a family.”

Murphy has become personally invested in the American Lung Association, a cause dear to him due to several family members having suffered from lung disease and died at relatively young ages. Murphy acted as the Vice Chair for the association’s main fundraiser in 2015 and is the Chair of this year’s Evening of Promise Gala. Their mission is to raise awareness and funds to fight lung

The Murphy children are acclimating quite well to their new schools and community as well. Their eldest son, Dennis, has had the least amount of time here because he is currently a freshman attending the University of Iowa studying Mechanical Engineering. Their son, James, is enjoying eighth grade and has a passion for basketball. By virtue of his Chicago roots, he is also a big fan of the

iconic Michael Jordan. Their daughter, Ella, is in fifth grade and is active in volleyball and gymnastics. All three children exude great pride in their father and agreed that the time that they spend together as a family is the most rewarding part of their days. As a runner, one of the things Murphy has come to appreciate about the area is the connectivity of the local trails and pathways, such as the Monon Trail. “I really enjoy that the local trails connect and are easily accessible,” Murphy said. “When I get home after work, I can run on the trail and not have to worry about vehicular traffic.”

roundabout. Even for those familiar with the function of a roundabout, it presents an immediate challenge driving through one because they drive on the left side of the road. I was driving the wrong way for the first five minutes of my first trip back as the driver.” Once you have a chance to meet the Murphys, you will quickly find that they

are an exceptional family that exudes a strong sense of family and a compassion for their neighbors and friends. This is certainly not surprising given Murphy’s Irish Catholic heritage. By all signs, IU Health and the citizens of Indiana will be in great hands as Murphy takes the helm of one of our state’s most important healthcare providers.

The Murphys have found some favorite local shops, restaurants and eating establishments. Don’t be surprised to see them at local standbys Bub’s Burgers or The Local. When asked how he has adjusted to the numerous roundabouts, Murphy noted that they strike a nostalgic chord. Murphy shared a humorous story of a harrowing experience driving out of the airport in Ireland for the first time. “My family, being from Ireland and having living relatives there, we naturally go back and visit them,” Murphy said. “As soon as one lands in Ireland and leaves the airport, they are immediately introduced to a

KIM DODSON:

A HERO FOR THE SPECIAL NEEDS COMMUNITY Writer / Kara Reibel Photographer / Brian Brosmer

As the Executive Director of The Arc of Indiana, Kim Dodson has learned how to be innovative and take risks, all for the cause of helping people with special needs lead lives of purpose. Fate is what brought Dodson to her current position – it was literally an accident while she was a junior at Purdue University that steered her career course. Dodson was involved in a car crash that claimed the life of her fiancé. After recovering from her own injuries, she changed her major from investment banking to pre-law. During the course of an internship for a Congressman, Dodson was introduced to lobbying. During the 1997-98 Indiana legislative terms, Dodson worked for a law firm as a lobbyist representing amusement parks. It was during that time that Dodson met Emily Hunt, a young woman badly injured in an amusement park accident that claimed the life of Hunt’s grandmother and rendered Hunt a quadriplegic. Hunt was lobbying for

increased safety inspections at amusement parks. Dodson was representing the other side. After a hearing on this issue, Dodson returned to the law firm and told her boss that they needed a compromise. The managing partner said no. Dodson quit two months later (the law firm no longer exists). That summer, the reports of abuse and neglect leaked out about the treatment of patients with special needs at state-run institutions. Without any history of people with disabilities, she felt called to help in this effort as it greatly offended her. Dodson called The Arc of Indiana. Then-Executive Director John Dickerson was looking for a lobbyist. Now 17 years later, Dodson is the Executive Director. Current legislation that The Arc of Indiana is pursuing includes Senate Bill 11, which is also known as the ABLE Act (Achieving a Better Life) which created a 529-type account for people with special needs. The other is House Bill 1219, which is called the Diploma Bill, as it requires all school corporations to offer the general diploma to all students; many students with special TownePost.com / APRIL 2016 / TOWNEPOST NETWORK

needs are not able to earn the Core 40, and not all schools in Indiana offer the general diploma, leaving many of these students without diplomas. Another focus of The Arc of Indiana is post-secondary education for the special needs community. In 2011, while lobbying for The Arc of Indiana, Dodson had a frank discussion with the House Ways and Means Committee Chair. The two discussed Medicaid and Medicare. “He asked me if I thought it really works,” recalls Dodson. “‘No, it doesn’t’ was my answer.” This precipitated an off-the-record conversation that would impact the innovative approach for The Arc of Indiana for years to come. The Arc of Indiana has been seen as a different type of human services organization since it’s more innovative and businessminded that others. Dodson was challenged to think about things differently. The legislature consisted of a more conservative

group of legislators, and The Arc of Indiana embarked on a campaign to move away from “entitlement” programs and moved to positively change the public view of people with special needs. “We wanted the families to view support differently,” says Dodson. “One means of doing this is to showcase the talents of people with special needs.” The Arc of Indiana created their platform, Blueprint For Change. Gathering together 20 of the best minds in the country in the special needs field, The Arc of Indiana listened and learned. “We asked, ‘What’s worked? What’s failed?’” says Dodson. “How can we be more innovative with people with special needs?” The entire goal is to lessen dependence on government services for those with special needs, yet the statewide unemployment rate was 82% for Indiana’s special needs workforce. Once we allowed them to dream of the possibilities, The Arc of Indiana initiated their Indiana Response Team, consisting of Indiana families, professionals and educators. One member of this team was Jeff Huffman, whose son Nash has Down syndrome. Nash was entering high school at the time, and Huffman dreamed of options for his son after graduation.

Huffman listened to the national panel of experts closely, and later, while driving through his hometown of Muncie, he noticed the abandoned Roberts Hotel. Huffman thought, “Wouldn’t it be cool to teach job skills to people with special needs in the atmosphere in which they’d be used?” Huffman shared his idea with Dodson. ”He brought up hospitality as a possibility,” says Dodson, who thoughtfully considered this over the next 10 days. At the time, the economy wasn’t strong, but hospitality was growing. She researched success stories of the hospitality and food services sector for people with special needs.

Dodson met him. “We knew we were doing something very special,” says Dodson. “We wanted shared passion for the project, not just experts in their field. Our architect had never built a hotel but had history with post-secondary education, and Wayne is one of the most big-hearted people I’ve ever met.” For the hotel restaurant, Dodson knew the downside of a basic hotel restaurant. They needed name recognition and a destination for patrons. Scott Wise of Scotty’s THR3E Wise Men was their target. This would prove to be the easiest influential meeting of Dodson’s career.

Dodson called Huffman and asked, “What are you thinking?”

Less than two minutes into her pitch, Wise interrupted with, “I’m in.”

Huffman’s reply was, “If this can be done, The Arc of Indiana can do it.”

Dodson said, “But I haven’t shared everything that is required by your restaurant.”

The business plan was underway, basing it entirely on research of the successes and failures across the country. The Arc of Indiana looked to create a model that worked. They had a greater chance of success if they acquired a few characteristics: a strong university presence, a supportive business community and a mayor who would embrace the mission. Muncie fit the description perfectly. Huffman was convinced the Roberts Hotel could be renovated and serve as their training center. During the process, the Roberts property sold. “It was a blessing in disguise,” says Dodson. The City of Muncie was so committed to the idea, it provided land for the project, allowing a new hotel to be built from the ground up. No other city had the synergy like Muncie to pull this off. Muncie Mayor Dennis Tyler had been a champion of Arc of Indiana in the statehouse for their issues. Familiar with the needs of the special needs community, he helped make the Erskine Green Training Institute a reality. The Arc of Indiana now had everything they were looking for. Architect Wayne Schmidt was selected nearly the moment TOWNEPOST NETWORK / APRIL 2016 / TownePost.com

“I said, ‘I’m in!’ 100%, we will do this,” said Wise. End of meeting. Wise was hand-picked. So was the construction team, and the Marriott hotel chain was the best option of those on the table since Marriott has a strong history of hiring people with special needs. To give the project wings, the State of Indiana supplied a grant of $5 million to build the hotel and training center. This unprecedented endowment from the State happened in 2013, and all of the credit goes to the Republicans in the House. Additional donors include Ball Memorial Foundation who put up $3 million. With the carryover in hospitality training into specific healthcare skills, partnering with Ball Memorial Hospital is a foregone conclusion. Ball Bros Foundation, Muncie Community Foundation, the Shafer Foundation and The AWS Foundation all have been generous supporters. The name, Erskine Green, comes from Carl Erskine, a pioneer championing the rights of people with special needs to barriers and perceived limitations. Erskine’s son, Jimmy, works at the Applebee’s in Anderson where he has a great sense of pride with his work and his ability to earn a paycheck. Steve

Green was so inspired by Erskine’s efforts of advocacy that when Green’s daughter Jessica was born with Down syndrome, Green helped in any way he could to ensure all of his children have the same opportunities. “I stand on the shoulders of those that have come before me,” says Huffman. “Erskine and Green have touched so many lives, many of whom they will never have the pleasure to meet.”

The Arc Training Institute & Teaching Hotel

The first class of the Erskine Green Training Center has exceeded expectations. The goal is to educate 80 students per year. “Two years ago, that seemed ambitious,” shares Dodson. “Now with increasing demand, it may not be enough.” “Our family is truly blessed to be recipients of 60 years worth of love, grit, perseverance and passion from parents, siblings, advocates and legislators who have tirelessly worked on behalf of those with intellectual and developmental disabilities,” says Kerry Fletcher, President of the Board of Directors for The Arc of Indiana. “Our mission is to change the culture that surrounds those with intellectual and developmental disabilities in school, the workplace and the community.”

In a world of change, our focus is steadfast.

The Arc of Indiana is fielding calls from across the country to help institute similar programs replicating theirs. By conservative projections, the hotel will be debt-free by the end of 2019. By January 2017, The Arc of Indiana will have their next business plan for additional training opportunities for people with special needs prepared, sustained by the profits from the hotel. Additional job skills means getting more people to work. “Through the Training Institute, the legacy of Erskine and Green will continue,” says Dodson.

THE LEUKEMIA & LYMPHOMA SOCIETY’S BOY OF THE YEAR

LUKE CANTERBURY

Writer / Kara Reibel Photographer / Brian Brosmer

As the Canterbury family traveled to Texas for a business trip, their third of four boys complained of pain along his right side. “Luke is a tough kid,” shares Angie, Luke’s mom. “He would cry about the pain he was experiencing but toughen up and jump back into the pool to play with his brothers. We initially thought he was experiencing growing pains.” Later that evening with their son in tremendous pain, Angie took him to a local emergency room. “The initial diagnosis was that he was constipated,” says Jamie, Luke’s dad. “In the E.R., they don’t do complete blood work and analysis.” Prior to this medical emergency, the only other time the Canterbury family had been to an emergency room was when Luke shoved a bean up his nose.

take him to the closest children’s hospital. We were near St. Louis but decided to head straight home instead.” After driving nine hours straight to their general practice doctor with a screaming child in the car, Luke was transported by ambulance to the emergency room at Riley Hospital for Children. The resulting diagnosis was Burkitt’s Lymphoma, Stage 4. The Canterburys received this news on June 27, 2014. Luke was 4 1/2 years old. These sort of tumors develop rapidly and are capable of doubling in size every 12 hours. One of Luke’s tumors was wrapped around his spine. He was moments away from paralysis.

Burkitt’s Lymphoma is unique in that the tumors are highly treatable and are composed of soft tissue. However, given the severity of the location around the spinal It became evident later that night that Luke’s cord, surgery was necessary to decrease the pressure and prevent further complications. issue was potentially far more serious. As The surgery was not without risk, and since the Canterbury family drove home, Luke Luke had begun chemotherapy immediately was inconsolable. “The original E.R. doc following this procedure, his tissues were called to check on Luke and suggested we

not healing optimally post-surgery. “The open wound on Luke’s back from surgery was a concern, for he developed sepsis, and we were not sure if he was going to make it,” shares Angie. Luke would have many more scares throughout his treatments. The Canterbury family set up camp at Riley for two months, with either Mom or Dad staying every night with him in the hospital. “We’d bring all the boys to the hospital every evening for dinner with all of us eating together, then one of us would go home with the other boys and one of us would stay with Luke,” shares Angie. She homeschools their boys and frequently had one of Luke’s brothers have a sleepover with them at Riley. Given the time spent at Riley, the Canterbury family created many meaningful relationships with the doctors, nurses and therapists. Alissa Moody, Luke’s pediatric physical therapist, was brought up in conversation right away when discussing the quality of care Luke received at Riley.

“Luke is so courageous, so brave,” says Alissa who is running for LLS Woman of the Year. “You knew he was in severe pain most of the time, but it was my job to pull him away from playing with his brothers and get him to therapy.”

The Canterburys would return with Luke to Riley for two to three weeks at a time following the initial two month stay for additional chemotherapy treatments. “During the main stay at the hospital, Luke was angry. It was super tough for him,” says Angie.

After the spinal surgery and subsequent treatments, Luke needed to learn how to roll over again, to sit up and to walk. The pressure on his spinal cord had been alleviated, and long-term damage had been prevented, but the cost was learning how to become mobile again. The recovery was painful, yet Luke worked very hard through his intense physical therapy.

Today, you wouldn’t know Luke had ever been sick, except for a low immune resistance. He runs around and plays with his brothers like any other rough and tumble boy his age. Hugh is 13, Levi is 8 and Wade is 3. Luke is now 6 years old. “Dealing with a situation like this changes your perspective on life,” says Jamie. “Our family has become even closer because of this.”

“What Luke was doing was extremely painful, and I cried with him,” shares Moody. When asking Luke about his experience, he says, “I got lots and lots of shots.” Luke had a port, and when he was able to finally go home, he says, “I slept between Mommy and Daddy.”

When asked what being the LLS Boy of the Year means to Luke, he replied, “It means I beat cancer!” For more information on the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, please visit lls.org.

A stronger voice. A significant presence. A new business advocate in an ever-changing marketplace. The Carmel and Fishers Chambers of Commerce have joined to become OneZone. The Carmel and Fishers Magazines have partnered with OneZone to produce a quarterly overview of what is important to our members, our businesses and to our communities. If you have a story or a topic of discussion that you would like see shared with over 45,000 residents and professionals, please contact Janelle Morrison, janelle9496@me.com.

OneZone One Year Later Recently, OneZone organized a new state-level advocacy committee led by board member Mike Drewry. Their goal is to advocate for business-friendly legislation at the Statehouse and against legislation that would negatively affect their members’ businesses. OneZone will continue to collaborate with other chambers to connect their members with business people throughout Hamilton County and Indianapolis with their network breakfasts and business after hours. They will provide opportunities for building and strengthening members’ business relationships through sponsorship and participation in their golf outings and business expos. They will continue to strengthen their young professionals group by offering social networking opportunities and educational events with topics about millennials in the workplace and leadership development. New this year, OneZone is pleased to announce their partnership with SCORE, a national organization with a very local presence. SCORE counselors have worked as executives and business owners and provide free, ongoing mentoring to small businesses and start-ups – members will begin to see representatives from SCORE at all of their events and at their offices one day a week. A collaborative partnership with the Indy Chamber’s BOI – Business Ownership Initiative – group to offer micro-grants will also be announced soon. OneZone is also excited to continue offering their annual scholarship to graduating high school seniors, the children of employees whose companies are Chamber members.

OneZone Staff Writer / Janelle Morrison . Photographer / JJ Kaplan Last year, the county’s two largest chambers of commerce merged and became one stronger voice and united presence advocating for its business members. One year later, the leadership and staff of OneZone continue to collaborate with their partners to provide the best level of service to their members.

Meanwhile, there are big changes amidst the workforce that will affect OneZone members. The nature of employment and the composition of the labor pool are undergoing a transformation. OneZone and its partners understand that in order to remain relevant and succeed, companies – and the Hamilton County culture – must focus on the future. They must focus on people strategy, changing demographics, evolving definitions of work, leadership cultivation, employee wants and needs and talent development.

For example, OneZone has three committees that are addressing issues affecting business. The Carmel Business Issues Committee and the Fishers Advocacy Committee deal with items specific to their respective communities. In Carmel, the committee’s agenda included advocating for second-class city status, time limits on public comment to save businesses time and money at council meetings, earlier publication of council agendas, modifications to current zoning ordinances and support of Carmel’s Human Rights Ordinance legislation. In Fishers, the committee is supporting the Hamilton Southeastern Schools referendum and following SR 37 issues.

OneZone and the other Hamilton County chambers will be hosting an allcounty luncheon on April 19, focusing on building a strategic workforce for the future. The discussion will include how Hamilton County looks to address the needs of workplace and workforce. The guest speaker will be Edward Cone, Deputy Director in the Thought Leadership group at Oxford Economics. Cone will share results of research on Workforce 2020: Building a Strategic Workforce for the Future. Oxford Economics is one of the world’s foremost independent global advisory firms, proving reports, forecasts and analytical tools to industries’ worldwide organizations.

Mo Merhoff OneZone President

“This particular luncheon is an opportunity to kick off a workforce initiative to help everybody within Hamilton County,” said Mo Merhoff, OneZone president. “This includes job seekers and those seeking employees. There are several cities and regions studying and reacting to these issues. Cities like Louisville and Pittsburgh have developed their programs, ImaginePittsburgh.com and kentuckianaworks.org, as a response to their local workforce and workplace issues.

“The issues are not just affecting the hospitality sector or large corporations. Some of our members have expressed that they are struggling to get tech people. The issues are across the board, and we are hoping to get some feedback from Edward Cone on how ‘smart’ communities are dealing with these issues and how cities and communities like ours are reacting in a positive and productive way. It isn’t just about the companies and employees that are already here, but additionally, about identifying what companies our communities are trying to get to come here and answering how they will be able to staff up once they are. Will they be able to find the people that they need?” One of the organizations contributing to this initiative is Visit Hamilton County. Already a marketing partner with the county’s Chambers of Commerce, city departments and economic development committees,

Visit Hamilton County is a centralized source data for and materials created for the purpose of promoting the county’s amenities and assets. “The issue of workforce attraction and development is a complicated and layered issue,” explained Brenda Myers, president and CEO Visit Hamilton County. “We met with the other participating organizations in Brenda Myers March and discussed the topic of workforce President & CEO Visit and all of the related issues. We all agreed Hamilton County that we needed more data and input, so we went to the Business Intelligence Center of Hamilton County, a shared center of our centralized pool of data, and we crafted a survey that is going out to the area’s human resource directors. We included questions on the subjects of workforce barriers, training and retirement. We are also reaching out to the survey participants to see if they would be willing to serve on a focus group and join the conversation.” Myers said that once the results have been received and reviewed, a strategic and general plan would be developed and discussed among the group’s participants. “Our goal is to release the preliminary findings of this study by April 19,” Myers said. “It’s a topic that we have been discussing, that OneZone has been discussing among other groups. We realized it was time to work together and pool all of our resources.”

TECHLOCITY...

WHEN NETWORKING WORKS Since 2010, Wagenhauser has expanded his company, nearly doubling his workforce each year. He attributes his growth and success to providing excellent service to his customers and to the vigorous networking that he and his associates engage in. “Our core focus is on sales efforts, referrals and providing excellent support,” Wagenhauser stated. “In the beginning, we didn’t have a sales team. It was me attending networking events, Chamber events and currently OneZone events. I was active in the former Carmel and Fishers Young Professionals events and was the Board Chair of the Fishers Chamber YP group. These events allowed me to get my name out. I have always felt strongly that the more I attended these events, the more people would become familiar with me and feel comfortable doing business with me.”

Tom Wagenhauser President and CEO Techlocity and HelpDesk.net Writer / Janelle Morrison Photo / JJ Kaplan Proving that the most effective way to market our businesses is through good old-fashioned networking, Tom Wagenhauser, president and CEO Techlocity and HelpDesk.net (WhatIsHelpDesk.net) located in Fishers, attributes his networking efforts to his companies’ recent success. Wagenhauser established Indy IT Professionals in 2010 and was a “one-man band” operation working out of a mere 400 sq. ft. Due to the growth of his company, IT Professionals underwent a name change to Techlocity, a clever combination of technology and velocity. Techlocity provides IT solutions with a variety of plans tailored to companies’ needs and goals. They provide exceptional support at any level. Their Managed Services include remote monitoring and management, 24/7 support, proactive maintenance, hardware and software asset reporting and license management. Waggenhauser created HelpDesk.net under Techlocity’s umbrella to offer outsourced “Help Desk” support that is maintained by a dedicated team of Wagenhauser’s staff. “After the market crash of 2008, I saw an opportunity to start my own business,” Wagenhauser said. “Typically when there is a downturn in the market and at the magnitude that we experienced then, we see people downsizing their workforce, especially technology positions. They consider outsourcing many of those positions as a cost savings strategy. My background is in the small and midsize business market, and I usually work directly with an owner. My goal was and continues to be to make the most of their technology with a conservative budget.”

Ultimately, that is exactly what happened. Techlocity got their “big break” after attending the Taste of the Chamber Business Expo in 2014. An attendee picked up one their cards from the HelpDesk.net booth and contacted Wagenhauser two months later. This particular corporation was interested in Wagenhauser’s ability to provide their company outsourced, after-hours support and have it ready within 30 days. The two companies reached an agreement, and within a month, Wagenhauser had hired the necessary personnel dedicated to that account and had the systems in place. Three months later, the same company’s internal business units offered Wagenhauser and his team the opportunity to take on their Canadian operations which would require a staff member who was fluent in both English and French. Shortly after this growth spurt, Wagenhauser was contacted by another local large company that would add seven more people to his staff. He currently employs 36 in their 7,000 sq. ft. facility. Despite the serious nature of their business, the staff enjoys a relatively casual work environment, complete with Nerf gun battles to alleviate stress and enhance a healthy sense of teamwork and competition. Wagenhauser stressed that he does not put a huge emphasis on certifications and degrees when he hires his team members. “The Help Desk people that we hire are classically trained,” Wagenhauser explained. “We’re hiring people that have a minimum of one to two years of experience. They will be able to produce more results and get the tickets completed more quickly, ultimately doing more in the same amount of time it would take someone with less experience. I look for a jack of all and master of none when I am interviewing engineers. They need to be strong in problem solving and be versatile. I look for candidates who have had multi-client type experiences. We have a total of six great engineers and an incredible administrative and after-hours team.” If your company, regardless of size, is interested in learning more about Techlocity, HelpDesk.net and their many best-in-class service offerings, from Managed Services to IT Infrastructure implementation, visit techlocity.com.

PALLADIUM INTRODUCING ITS “HOUSE” WINES Writer / Janelle Morrison Artwork submitted by the Center for the Performing Arts

The Center for the Performing Arts is delighted to announce the debut of their Premium Palladium Wines. President/ CEO Tania Castroverde Moskalenko, Vice President of Operations Nick Tigue and Beverage and Concessions Manager Lisa Hillard led the initiative to develop the Palladium Wines. The Center’s staff selected a group of community partners to form a tasting committee.

The Basile Gift Shop features a wide variety of unique items, and they are always looking for new items to add that their patrons may like. Moskalenko had the creative vision to add Premium Palladium Wines to the offering.

separate labels highlight the magnificence of the Palladium’s architecture and are perfect for special gifts or entertaining.” Members of the selection committee were thoughtful in their final selections to ensure that the wines would best represent the artistry and memorable experiences that the Palladium provides its guests. “I think the four wines selected for the Palladium label are great examples of their respective grape and/or region,” said Patrick Poyser, wine selection committee member. “The standout favorite for me is the Laguna. It’s everything I love about the full bodied Chardonnays out of the Russian River Valley and makes a nice alternative to Rombauer. The wines represent the Palladium well, and I think people will enjoy them as a souvenir from a visit or event. The labels are gorgeous and show off the building, and the wine inside is great. I heard several people at the tasting say they were already planning to add them into gifts for visitors and friends and family.” Karen Poyser, another participant in the selection committee, mentioned, “What I remember fondly was that it was such a fun time just enjoying the wine and trying to think what wines would be best to represent our Palladium as a souvenir for visitors.”

The selected wines originate from Italy and California. The Da Vinci Pinot Grigio is crafted from grapes grown in Delle Venezie “Our patrons are always complimenting the region’s finest vineyards where Italian beauty of the Palladium and the gracious Pinot Grigio has been grown for more hospitality they receive during their visits,” than a century. This crisp Pinot Grigio is Moskalenko said. “They love to attend exceptionally well balanced with floral engaging performances and leave our campus aromas, ripe apple and tropical fruit flavors feeling inspired. Now they can celebrate and a clean finish. Da Vinci Pinot Grigio is those wonderful moments by taking home delightful as an apéritif or as a complement a bottle of Palladium Label Wine.

per bottle and $250 per case. The Da Vinci Chianti is crimson red with intense aromas of ripe fruit and flavors of fresh strawberry and plum. The town of Vinci is home to the world class wines of Cantine Leonardo Da Vinci. A cooperative of over 200 individual growers. Nestled between Florence, Pisa and Siena in the Chianti region of Tuscany, Cantine Leonard Da Vinci produces outstanding wines from hillside vineyards tended for generations. Expertly crafted, it retails $25 per bottle and $250 per case. The Laguna Chardonnay is an exceptionally well-balanced and luxurious wine with flavors of apple pear and quince framed by subtle spice notes. Laguna is dedicated to producing world-class Chardonnay from the prestigious Russian River Valley. This land saw its first wine grapes planted as far back as the 1800s and has been home to the world class Chardonnay for more than four decades. In the Russian River Valley, a long growing season and cool coastal breezes result in delicate balance between crisp acidity and ripe fruit flavors. It retails for $35 per bottle and $360 per case. Last but not least, the Louis M. Martini Cabernet Sauvignon is a memorable complement to a variety of hearty dishes. The rich expansive palate of California Cabernet Sauvignon offers flavors of black currant and blackberry that are framed by notes of toasted oak and vanilla spice. It retails for $35 per bottle and $360 per case. The brilliantly designed Premium Palladium Wine labels pay homage to the structure’s exquisite architecture. The Center’s Graphic Production Coordinator Robyn Ferguson designed the label which features photography from Kevin Raber and Douglas

Adams. Monarch Beverages provided the labels. “The Center’s brand has a very modern feel, while the process of making wine is a very organic and natural process,” Ferguson explained. “The concept was to meld the two. The labels highlight the architecture of the Palladium in really interesting and organic ways…but are also just as bold as the taste and flavors of the wine they contain.” Located along the Monon Greenway, guests can enter the Basile Gift Shop from the East Lobby of the Palladium. The gift shop boasts a wide selection of jewelry, art, books, cards and many boutique items, and every purchase helps support the Center for the Performing Arts. The shop is open 60 minutes prior to select Center Presents Palladium performances and during intermission. Pricing ranges from $25-$35 per bottle and can be purchased in the Basile Gift Shop or by emailing Sharon Holyoak, the Center’s Gift Shop Manager and Volunteer Coordinator at sholyoak@ TheCenterPresents.org.
