A HISTORIC WEEKEND WITH THE NATION’S MAYORS Writer / Janelle Morrison Photos submitted by USCM
Since 1932, The United States Conference of Mayors (USCM), the official nonpartisan organization of cities with populations of 30,000 or more, and its member mayors have come together nationally to help meet the challenges and issues facing our nation’s cities. This year, Mayor Joe Hogsett from Indianapolis hosted the 84th Annual USCM at the J.W. Marriott in downtown Indianapolis. Under the leadership of the USCM President Baltimore (MD) Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake (now past president) and host Indianapolis (IN) Mayor Joe Hogsett, hundreds of the nation’s mayors gathered in Indiana for their Annual Meeting from June 24-27. Throughout the conference, the mayors discussed a wide variety of priorities that contribute to the overall health of America’s cities and adopted the policy resolutions that guide the advocacy agenda of the USCM. Of the litany of topics discussed, gun control was front and center as the conference was just weeks after the atrocities that occurred in Orlando’s Pulse nightclub. Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer addressed the mayors with a moving and detailed narrative on the timeline of events that occurred that night. On the conference’s opening day, Friday, June 24, the stock markets were responding negatively to the aftermath of Brexit, which a few of the mayors addressed in the opening press conference. Watching firsthand the mayors react cool, calm and collected to the breaking news as it was unfolding was impressive. Each of the presidential candidates was invited to address the mayors to discuss
the 2016 Mayors’ Compact for a Better America: A Call to Action, which prioritizes urban issues as well as their vision to strengthen the federal-local partnership and build strong cities and metro economies. Democratic Party nominee Hillary Clinton and the former Governor of New Mexico and the Libertarian Party nominee Gary Johnson accepted the invitation to speak; the Republican Party nominee Donald Trump was not available to attend. With multiple events occurring simultaneously in downtown Indy that weekend, the candidates’ appearances made for intense security sweeps. There was an obvious presence of every imaginable security and law enforcement agency on-site. During the annual meeting, mayors targeted specific questions to the presidential candidates who attended and implored that all of the candidates listen to the problems affecting U.S. cities.
the Energy Independence and Climate Protection task force. Mayor Mitchell Landrieu of New Orleans spoke about the resiliency of his city and the advancements that have been made since Katrina in 2005 to minimalize potential damage from future hurricanes. Sam Adams, the director of World Resources Institute (U.S.) spoke to the mayors on aligning federal data sources with City GHP emissions tracking. Watching Mayor Brainard in action, leading an exchange of resources and data, provided a prospective on the relationships that the mayors build among themselves and related agencies to benefit their cities and to better prepare for environmental changes and/or emergencies.
Mayor Brainard took the opportunity to showcase the city of Carmel’s approach to livability, walkability and its world-class amenities. Brainard co-hosted, along with Mayor Hogsett, an Opening Event that took “We want the candidates and Congress to place at the Palladium and Center Green know the road to the White House goes in downtown Carmel. The mayors traveled directly through cities,” said Mayor Stephanie from downtown Indy to the Carmel Arts & Rawlings-Blake, who presided over this year’s Design District. conference. “As mayors, we can’t understand gridlock because it is impermissible.

The event exhibited the city’s throughout the weekend and led a group mixed-use and walkable urban core for the of mayors in discussion as co-chair of mayors to experience firsthand. 10 / CARMEL MAGAZINE / AUGUST 2016 / atCarmel.com
Several businesses and restaurants located in the Carmel Arts & Design District took full advantage of the rare and historic opportunity to participate. Bryan Arnold, the general manager of the Pint Room, and his team were one of the restaurants that rolled out the “red carpet” and set up a beverage stand, street-side, during the festivities. “What I think that the mayors might take away from this experience is what they can really bring back to their own communities,” Arnold said. “With investments into their local cities, a lot of areas throughout the country can have something like Carmel has. When people come down and walk around on Main Street, they see attractive local businesses and an emphasis on making sure that the dollars spent stay local. That really grows a community.” The major highlights of the USCM took place Sunday back at the J.W. Marriott in Indianapolis. His Holiness the 14th Dalai atCarmel.com / AUGUST 2016 / CARMEL MAGAZINE / 11
Lama, Lady Gaga and philanthropist Philip Anschutz spoke as a panel that was moderated by journalist Ann Curry. The Dalai Lama remarked on the global significance of building kind and compassionate cities through actions of their mayors.
there is, and the solution is that we need to build a kinder and braver world.”
To be sure, the mayors, their staff and families, journalists and other members of the audience will not soon forget the energy that filled the ballroom throughout that weekend and, in particular, that one rare and memorable day at the USCM. The importance of the conference being held in Indianapolis, aside from drawing national attention from its keynote speakers, was the $1.5 million economic boost to the city and a barrage of social media posts and tweets that hashtagged #Indianapolis and #Carmel, Indiana.
Taking the stage later and concluding the afternoon, Hillary Clinton addressed the mayors and audience members. “We need to reimagine the relationship between the federal government and our metropolitan “Freedom, liberty and democracy come areas,” she said. She spoke about gun from a sense of respect and the sense of the control, emphasizing that it is imperative to well-being of others,” his Holiness stated. “act and reduce gun violence. I know that “These are not just slogans. They are the we can respect the Second Amendment and results of these principles and are very much make common sense reforms.” dependent on mental attitude. As we are now in the early beginning of the 21st P r i v a t e B century, I believe that this nation can lead others to build a compassionate world. There is too much concern for self-centered attitude. Not much concern for others’ well-being.” The Dalai Lama emphasized, “External beauty is important, but at the same time, inner beauty is more important. A sense of respect and general well-being creates genuine love. In order to practice love successfully, you also need a sense of tolerance.” Lady Gaga joined in the conversation. “I am honored to be sitting down with the Dalai Lama to have a conversation about kindness. Something amazing about the goodness is that it is free.” She continued, “The action of removing anxiety is very difficult to do. But what you can do is help to calm the fears and the anger. Young people are very confused right now because they are living in a state of horror. The media shows the bad things, right up close. We need to shift the perspective and educate young people. You (mayors) have the power to be kind to them.

The mayors took photographs of the latest addition to Carmel’s outdoor sculptures representing famous jazz artists in front of the Palladium. The first three of six sculptures were donated to the city and will display legends like Dizzy Gillespie and Hoagy Carmichael. The Capital City Chorus was on the steps of the Palladium singing as the mayors walked in. Mayors Hogsett and Brainard addressed the audience, along with Tania Castroverde Moskalenko, the President/CEO of the Center for the Performing Arts, and Baltimore Mayor and then-President of the USCM, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake.

It is a great federal program. It allows flexibility and decision-making at the local level on how the money is used. We, the mayors, would like to see that program expanded.

Programs like these are what we promote at the USCM.” Prior to attending the USCM, Mayor Brainard was again a speaker and ambassador for his city and country at “The Purpose of the Making Cities Livable” international conference that was held in Rome, Italy, June 13-17. Mayor Brainard was an invited to speak, along with other distinguished speakers such as Maxim Atayants, Architect, St. Petersburg, Russia; Richard M. Economakis, Architect, Professor, University of Notre Dame, South Bend, IN; Mayor George Ferguson, Bristol, UK; and other notable individuals. Mayor Brainard spoke about building livable cities and providing examples from Carmel. “This trip, we learned about what’s going on in terms of cutting-edge city design across the globe,” Brainard explained. “We learn about how the private and public sector

IT’S A NEW DAY AT
DIRECTBUY
8450 Westfield Blvd #100 Indianapolis, IN 46240 317-472-9800 Indianapolis.DirectBuy.com
MEMBERSHIP IS NOW AFFORDABLE FOR EVERYONE What if you could shop directly from over 700 of the world’s best brand name manufacturers with a savings guarantee? What if someone made these great prices and this vast selection of products incredibly convenient? It would sound too good to be true. That and much more is what DirectBuy has offered its clients for years. However, recently they made this all available at a remarkably affordable price. For those not familiar with DirectBuy, it’s a savings club that utilizes the buying power of its members to negotiate with manufacturers great prices on top brands for your home and lifestyle. DirectBuy, originally known as United Consumers Club, started in Merrillville, Indiana, in 1971 by James Gagan. From its inception, DirectBuy provided great savings to its members. The problem for many was that until recently, a DirectBuy
membership required a significant upfront membership fee of a few thousand dollars. Unless you were undertaking a large project or had the foresight to look at purchases over a period of time the significant upfront fee was a deterrent to many consumers becoming members. The great news is that DirectBuy has transitioned from a membership program to a subscription model. You can now subscribe to the service for a nominal initial fee and a monthly subscription as low as $39.95. Needless to say, access to the great prices and unmatched selection offered by DirectBuy just became affordable to nearly everyone. Recently, we met Jack Powell and his wife Genta, the owners of DirectBuy of Indianapolis. Jack and Genta have a lifetime of experience with DirectBuy. Jack’s involvement
in DirectBuy began when he and his brother were caddying at a golf club where Gagan played. The brothers went from caddying to working for DirectBuy part-time in high school and college. Starting full time in 1978, Jack has now owned two franchise locations and was a Field Sales Director for the corporate office where he met his wife Genta, who held a position as a Field Service Director. In explaining what makes DirectBuy’s pricing policy different, Jack stated, “Most people, if you asked them, think they are a good shopper and that they get the best price. But what they are doing is comparing one retail price with another retail price. When they come into DirectBuy, they see the dealer price sheet. They see what we buy it for, and they see what any retailer buys it for. They know exactly what the true cost is on whatever they buy.”
"THE GREAT NEWS IS THAT DIRECTBUY HAS TRANSITIONED FROM A MEMBERSHIP PROGRAM TO A SUBSCRIPTION MODEL." Owners Jack and Genta Powell with daughter, Miah. INDY METRO / AUGUST 2016 / TownePost.com
When you walk in to the local DirectBuy showroom located at 8450 Westfield Blvd., you will immediately see a vast number of manufacturers’ product displays as well as bookshelves lined with hundreds of manufacturers’ catalogs. You are welcome to stop by the showroom to see the vast selection and confidential pricing available through DirectBuy. Genta and her staff will be happy to provide any help you may need to find the products you are looking for.
In addition to the showroom, DirectBuy also makes shopping incredibly convenient online. The My DirectBuy website allows you to shop how you want, where you want and whenever you want. They also offer an app that has an amazing feature called “I Want That.” If you are out and see something you want, simply take a picture of it and upload it to the app. DirectBuy’s Concierge Shopping experts will investigate your request and provide you with matching or similar products along with pricing. If you are shopping online and a question arises, you can call the Concierge Shopping experts 7 days a week to help answer any questions or plan a project. DirectBuy even offers a custom in-home designer service where someone will come to your home to help with your project.
Big box stores pick and choose the items they offer for sale from a manufacturer’s line based on what their buyers think you want and which ones will be most profitable for them to carry. At DirectBuy, they simply provide you with the manufacturers’ catalog and let you decide which products you want to buy, and that typically includes their entire line.

At DirectBuy you will find a full complement of suppliers that represent quality products from entry level to high end. Many members find they can upgrade quality through DirectBuy since they avoid the hidden retail markup. Last but not least, DirectBuy now offers a travel service, which has great savings on vacation packages all over the world. DirectBuy is a Premium Sponsor of MIBOR and is now working with realtors in the area to help new homeowners furnish, decorate and remodel their homes. DirectBuy of Indianapolis has been named multiple times as the best in the category of Kitchen and Bath Cabinetry by Indy’s A List, including 2016. Additionally the Corporate Enterprise offering enables local business owners to provide the DirectBuy subscription as a company perk. If you, like most, are looking for a place to shop with unmatched savings, selection and convenience with award winning service, stop by or call Jack and Genta at DirectBuy.

If you are planning a larger home improvement project, the showroom is a convenient place to meet your contractor and/or designer where you can do a onestop shop and order everything you may need to complete the project, knowing that you are getting the best pricing without having to run all over town.
As mentioned earlier, DirectBuy’s selection is enormous. It includes the products of over 700 name brand manufacturers, which translates into over 1,000,000 SKUs. A partial list of the products offered includes home improvement categories like carpeting, hardwood flooring, windows, plumbing fixtures, furniture and major appliances along with lifestyle products like sunglasses, golf clubs, exercise equipment, televisions, jewelry and apparel.

In addition to providing this valuable pricing information to their clients, DirectBuy also backs this up with an actual savings guarantee. According to Jack, “One of the most significant things we have done recently is we now have a savings guarantee. When a person buys something [at DirectBuy], they are absolutely guaranteed the lowest prices in the marketplace.” You can actually see the savings guarantee spelled out in the DirectBuy catalog and on their website.

However, the wines and microbrews of Johnson County extend well beyond those two. The county is home to more than five microbreweries including Oaken Barrel, one of the original brewers in the state. Nearly 20 brewers and wineries from around Indiana will come together to celebrate Indiana’s wine, art, music and microbrews at WAMMfest at Craig Park in Greenwood Saturday, August 20. This year, WAMMfest features 10 breweries, nine wineries, a large number of restaurants, food trucks, live music and more than 70 artist booths in a juried art
fair. The juried art fair ensures that only Indiana’s finest artist and craftspeople will fill Artists Alley featuring jewelry, painting, sculptures, baskets, clothing and more. Live music includes acoustic acts, a string quartet, jazz and a selection of retro and contemporary bands. In its first seven years, WAMMfest has become a wonderful way to spend a Saturday, attacking more than 6,000 people annually from all around the metro area. The event, organized by the Sertoma Club of Greenwood, has resulted in $450,000 being donated by Sertoma for local causes and charities. Wineries at the event include Buck Creek, Cedar Creek, Chateau Thomas, Harmony,

CARMEL'S CELEBRATION OF THE ART IN AUTOMOTIVE
In a world of change, our focus is steadfast.
Each year, this unique event features a distinct gathering of recognized artists, collector cars and automotive enthusiasts, showcased on the streets of the Carmel Arts & Design District. With more than 400 enthusiast and collector cars on the streets of Carmel, the Artomobilia boasts one of the most eclectic gatherings of original, period-correct cars, including Supercar, Exotic, Sports Car, Classics, Racers, Historically Preserved, Indiana Built and Sedan/Coupe, and will be featuring two new classes, Antique Trucks and Restomods. Each year, the Artomobilia highlights a selection of automotive anomalies that are as interesting as they are distinct. In past years, this event has featured 50 Years of Mustang, Porsche, series-winning racecars and more. Enthusiast and collector cars come in all shapes and sizes, and our car corrals feature brand-specific examples across 25 or more different corrals. While these are not formally judged, they represent the best examples of what is going on in national and local car clubs and provide a great opportunity to see firsthand how you can participate in the car hobby.

The Artomobilia continues to grow year over year, attracting over 15,000 automotive enthusiasts of all ages to stroll among collector cars, event sponsors and the Arts & Design District’s restaurants, boutiques and storefront retailers.
This year, the organizers are increasing the diversity of the show’s classes and will introduce two new classes, Antique Trucks and Restomods.
Don’t let another Beat the Fallwithout Rush summer pass & Make your Backyard your dream backyard!
Artomobilia’s Founder John Leonard spoke about what’s new this year for enthusiasts to enjoy while attending this spectacular event.
Dreams a Reality
“Artomobilia is a crazy group of cars, but everyone who participates has the same love of automobiles,” Leonard enthused. “At this show, you’ll see a guy who came with his Ferrari, and he’s down checking out the Chevy Corvair that reminds him of the one he owned when he was 26 years old. “Artomobilia is a great event with a great audience and a great market. The audience appreciates great customer service, high touch and all of the things that our audience and sponsors have come to expect. This year, we’ll have a lot of the same car classes that we’ve traditionally had, but we’ve added Antique Trucks due to the call that we’ve received from owners of these trucks who want to show them. “We’ve also added a Restomod class. Restomods are where you take a Corvette, for example, and install a modern drive train, suspension and brakes. It looks similar to the original stock but has customized features. It has the same shape as the original, but all of the underpinnings are completely different and modernized. They are drivable and enjoyable cars. We want to present cars in groups that people don’t normally see.”

a Lady of
AUTOMOTIVE ARISTOCRACY
Writer / Janelle Morrison Photographer / JJ Kaplan
Automobile racing and car collecting were traditionally male dominated occupations and hobbies since their inceptions. Today, more women car enthusiasts are showing and competing in auto shows, and we have seen more women racecar drivers qualifying in a variety of automobile races around the globe. Raised in an auto racing family among racing “royalty,” Joan Voyles knows plenty about the adrenaline rushes, the dangers and the greatness that automobiles and racing can generate. Voyles’s father was the famed 1950 Indianapolis 500 winner Johnnie Parsons. He is the only Indy 500 winner to have his name
misspelled on the Borg-Warner Trophy as it was carved “Johnny.” Aside from this dubious distinction, Parsons had a long legacy of incredible achievements throughout his career and lifetime. He consulted for the 1950 movie “To Please a Lady” that was in part filmed at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS). During the filming, he befriended the movie’s leading actor, Clark Gable, and leading actress, Barbara Stanwick, the celebrity who was photographed kissing Parsons after his win in 1950. Voyles shared what life was like living with a racing legend and a racecar family that included her stepfather Duane Carter Sr., brother Johnny Parsons Jr. and half-brothers Duane “Pancho,” Dana and Tony Carter who cumulatively represent over 50 years of racing at the IMS.

Voyles, a Zionsville resident and wife of highly regarded defense attorney James ( Jim) Voyles, is an avid car enthusiast along with her husband. Over the years, the two have raised their children and have been active members in their Zionsville community. Voyles has been active in many Indianapolis philanthropic organizations over the years as well. Both Voyles and her husband grew up around the racing community, and they equally share a similar passion for collecting unique and impressive cars. Their collection contains antique, vintage, luxury and exotic automobiles. One of her most prized vehicles is the 1943 hot rod built by her father in 1943 that has been featured in a prominent national hotrod magazine. Voyles is also passionate about community, supporting the arts and fundraising for organizations that she is affiliated with. She is a proud supporter of and has displayed one of their cars at Fuelicous, the fundraising event held at the Lucas Estate the night before Artomobilia. This year, Voyles is looking forward to displaying one of her favorite vehicles in the newly added “Antique Truck” class, a 1952 Ford F1 that has been beautifully restored. “My passions, aside from my husband, children and art, include cars,” Voyles said. “My first car was a 1952 Ford Custom. I’ve always told my kids that it’s important to know how to drive a stick shift because you never know when you’ll need that talent. My 2001 BMW is a stick, and it’s a lot of fun to drive. “My husband, Jim, continues to practice law full-time after almost 49 years. He likes to work on the cars as a way to relax. I sometimes help him. We always have fun driving them. We both love automobile racing. We enjoy going to races and have made many friends over the decades with people in the industry.” Both Voyles and her husband fulfilled one of their bucket list items by attending this year’s 24 Hours Le Mans in Le Mans, France. As a child, her family moved from California to Speedway, Indiana, to be closer to the summer racing circuits.
School and hearing the cars out on the track on a practice day in May and wondering how my dad and stepdad were doing. Three of my brothers were racecar drivers, and I spent many years worrying about them. In one race out at the Terre Haute Action track, my brother Johnny flipped in one corner, and my brother Dana flipped in another corner. My half-bother Duane “Pancho,” who is a Triple Crown driver, was badly hurt while testing in Phoenix. My brother Johnny still has a few pins from a 1986 accident that he was in at IMS. “My nephew, Johnny Parsons III, is still racing. He races sprint cars in Minnesota. My other three nephews raced but are now involved in racing in other capacities. My favorite kinds of cars are the Midgets and Silver Crown cars. The Silver Crown cars remind me of the cars that used to run out at the IMS. “Nowadays, the technology is obviously more advanced. As a driver, it takes more than skill. It takes a lot of financial backing to get into racing. Back in the time of my dad and stepdad, it had more to do with talent and being able to drive the track with skill and precision. Today, it’s different. There are more women in the field who are qualifying to be in races, and one of their greatest challenges is finding the money to back them. There are some incredibly talented women drivers out there. Lynn St. James, a former racecar driver, has a program that has been instrumental in developing young women racecar drivers. “It’s been a wonderful life growing up around racing,” Voyles concluded. “It was sometimes sad and sometimes stressful because of the danger. It was always hard having my family members in such a risky profession, though I am proud of my family’s racing heritage.” Don’t forget to check out the newly added Antique Truck class at Artomobilia later this August and be sure to look for Voyles’s spectacular 1952 Ford F1.

MORE THAN JUST A LITTLE BROWN CAR Writer / Janelle Morrison

In 2008, Candyce Jones set out on a journey of self-discovery and re-invention upon the passing of her husband, Jim. Jones and her husband spent many years and countless miles cruising in his 1973 Sepia Porsche 911S coupe. The time had come to either “drive it or sell it,” and she knew that she had no interest in selling it.
vacations too and the occasional trip to Mosport, Mid-Ohio and Watkins Glen.
“Like most car hobbyists, Jim was selftaught and did his own maintenance, though the 911S never needed any major work or touch-up painting. I had the time, so my job was to wash the car. My own journey with the 911S began in 2010 when the car was started, washed and waxed. In June, it was shown at a local cruise night. “Becoming a ‘car chick’ was never on my While there, an on-patrol police officer horizon, but stepping into that unfamiliar suggested the car should compete in the arena of car enthusiasts has proven to be concours at the PCA Parade.

There were cross-country 28 / CARMEL MAGAZINE / AUGUST 2016 / atCarmel.com
Much to her surprise, Jones’s 911S won both its class and its division. She recalled thinking to her late husband, “What in the hell have you gotten me into, Jim?” Jones continued to show her car at additional concours events, charity events, small local cruise nights and car shows. “Over the years, I have turned from being a laidback passenger to a devoted female owner,” Jones enthused. “The 911S is now my passion - and its local and national awards have opened me up to a whole new world. Truly, the treasures on this award-winning journey are the kind and supportive ‘car people’ who have stepped into my life. This Porsche was really the vehicle for starting my life over and making new friends. Members of the Chicago Region PCA Concours team taught me how to clean, detail and judge a
car. Without their guidance, the 911S would not have won the Preservation Award at the 2013 Porsche Parade. I am a member of that team today and will be forever grateful for their friendship.” Another twist of fate would introduce Jones and John Leonard, the organizer of Artomobilia. She met Leonard in French Lick, Indiana, at a Porsche Parade over a year ago. Upon that chance encounter, Leonard had taken an interest in Jones’ 911S and implored her to bring the car and show it at Artomobilia. Jones recalled, humorously, that she replied to Leonard’s request, “John, I’ve registered my car at your show before, and I didn’t hear back.” Jones brought the car to Artomobilia in 2015, and it won 1st in Class. Jones is incredibly complimentary about
Artomobilia and her time visiting the city of Carmel. “Artomobilia is an incredibly well-organized show,” she expressed. “You know what you’re supposed to be doing before you even arrive at the event. Another thing that really impressed me was the judging. They were using smart tablets, and each team of judges had only one tablet. That meant that they had to actually discuss the car among themselves and have a dialogue about the car’s features. I really like that concept. The entire experience was fun with the entertainment and the ambience. Carmel is a wonderful city. It was the first time that I had been to Carmel, an it was overall just a great experience for me.” Reflecting back on the car’s history, Jones expressed that she certainly didn’t see her atCarmel.com / AUGUST 2016 / CARMEL MAGAZINE / 29
life as it is today. After her husband passed, she began competing and found joy in it. She has taken classes to become incredibly educated about her car and is currently judging as a PCA judge. “I have traveled the country and made many new friends who are also enthusiasts and are always willing to help me if I have questions,” Jones said. “I was able to go out on my own, take a risk and try something new. I am having new and incredible experiences all because of this little brown car. It has opened so many new doors for me. One of the things on my ‘bucket list’ is to take the car on a cross-country trip. The car is 43 years old now, but I’d like to do it one day. Over all of the years that Jim and I drove this car together, we never thought the car would end up where it is today.”

THE BMW CHAMPIONSHIP RETURNS TO CARMEL
Writer / Janelle Morrison Photos submitted by PGA TOUR Images
In just a few weeks, golf spectators will soon be lined up along the Crooked Stick Golf Club to watch the world’s top 70 players play in the 2016 BMW Championship in Carmel.
The BMW Championship is the penultimate event in the PGA TOUR’s FedEx Cup Playoffs. Players like Phil Mickelson, Jason Day, Rory McIlroy and Robert Garrigus will return to Carmel’s premiere golf course September 6-11. The Crooked Stick Golf Club hosted the BMW Championship in 2012.

Built in 1964 by the famous course architects Pete and Alice Dye, it was host to the PGA Championship in 1991 won by John Dalyand and the U.S. Women’s Open in 1993 won by Lauri Merten. It also hosted the Solheim Cup matches in 2005. The BMW Championship is the third oldest, active tournament on the PGA
Robert Garrigus
The BMW Championship’s total purse is $8.5 million in prize money and $1.53 million to the winner. The defending player is Jason Day who won the 2015 Championship at Whistling Straits. “As the winner of the 2015 BMW Championship, I am proud to have my name inscribed on the J.K. Wadley Trophy alongside golf legends Walter Hagen, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods. This event not only celebrates the history of our golf sport, but it also does so much good for young people through its relationship with the Evans Scholar Foundation. I look forward to joining all of you in September at Crooked Stick for the 2016 BMW Championship.”
Tour after the British Open and U.S. Open. It has been recognized as the PGA Tour’s “Tournament of the Year” in 2008, 2013, 2014 and 2015. The Western Golf Association (WGA) conducts the tournament. All proceeds from the BMW Championship support the Evans Scholars Foundation that provides full tuition and housing grants to deserving caddies.
Also returning to Crooked Stick is Robert Garrigus. Garrigus finished T4 alongside Tiger Woods at the 2012 BMW Championship at Crooked Stick, among a top 10 leaderboard that included Rory McIlroy (1), Phil Mickelson (T2), Lee Westwood (T2), Tiger Woods (T4), Dustin Johnson (T6), Adam Scott (T6), Vijay Singh (8) and Jim Furyk (9). With rounds of 67-69-66-69, including a bogey-free 66 in the third round, Garrigus easily advanced to the FedEx Cup Playoffs finale, the TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola, finishing T10 in Atlanta and ending the season a careerhigh 23rd in the FedEx Cup. Although he missed the Playoffs last season, Garrigus is on his way to the top 125 in the FedEx Cup standings (the top 125 qualify for the Playoffs following the final event of the regular season, the Wyndham Championship). He has finished in the top 10 in two of his last three starts, most atCarmel.com / AUGUST 2016 / CARMEL MAGAZINE / 35
Rory McIIroy
recently with a T8 finish at last week’s Quicken Loans National. Two weeks earlier, he finished a season-best T4 at the AT&T Byron Nelson. “I played really well the last time that I was at Crooked Stick,” Garrigus said. “I enjoyed the feel of the sand, playing on a lush course in the summertime and how excited and knowledgeable the members were about golf. My family and I have always enjoyed the Indianapolis and Carmel areas. I feel the most important thing that we (professional golfers) can do is help the youth and people who otherwise couldn’t go to college or play golf. We can help pave the way for them to do things that some of us (players) didn’t get to do. “My mom worked four jobs to put me through a community college, so I know how important it is to have a college education and how much work and sacrifice it takes to do it. To be able to support a foundation that assists caddies who don’t otherwise have the means to go to college is pretty cool.”
Jordan Spieth
David Robinson, WGA Evans Scholar Foundation Chairman of the Board, spoke on the championship’s sole beneficiary and the WGA’s relationship with BMW. “The Evans Scholar Foundation is the sole beneficiary of the BMW Championship. It is the nation’s largest privately-funded scholarship program and certainly the largest scholarship program for caddies,” Robinson said. “We’ve enjoyed a great relationship with BMW over the years. Since becoming our partner in 2007, the BMW Championship has helped raise $21 million for the Evans Scholar program. The synergy that we enjoy with BMW is fantastic.”
international championship conducted at Crooked Stick since 1982. Our members have been extremely supportive of all of these competitions. We are pleased that we have already exceeded the level of corporate support this year that we experienced and enjoyed in 2012. “The course improvements were started in 2014 and completed last year. They include renovating 90 bunkers with a new drain system to better deal with the heavy rains that always seem to follow the PGA Tour at the most inopportune times. We’ve added seven new bunkers along the 7th and 10th holes. The tee boxes on the 3rd, 10th and 13th holes have been reconstructed or added. There was also a major reconstruction and improvement of our practice areas including an expanded range, tee, new short-game area and new putting green near the first tee.

WGA Senior Vice President Vince Pellegrino elaborated on the WGA’s appreciation for the city, county and club’s support and use of their resources, so that the WGA can conduct a world-class golf championship. “We had such a tremendous event here at Crooked Stick in 2012,” Pellegrino said. “The City of Carmel and Hamilton County officials were extremely supportive in 2012 and continue to be supportive leading up to this championship for 2016. The tournament was so successful with the regards to the amount of money that was raised for the Evans Scholar Foundation. “Our spectators and our corporate partners get to come out and watch some incredible golf, but at the end of the day, we can all feel great that the proceeds benefit the Evans Scholars. As an Evans Scholar myself, I couldn’t be more proud of the work that the organization is doing to support hardworking caddies. “The community itself is so supportive, whether with volunteerism, ticket buyers or corporate hospitality. Everybody steps up and, in return, gets to see some of the best players in the game. It was a natural for us to want to come back here to Carmel and to Crooked Stick, one of the premiere courses in the country and Pete Dye’s masterpiece.”

After negotiating the details and the build-out, Launch Cause became a reality. They will cap their membership at seventy-five nonprofit organizations. The build out includes 14 private offices and 22 cubicles. Prepared for mid-to long-term commitments, the Launch Cause space is attractive to multiple stages of nonprofits, whether a startup or established. The hope is to have strong layers of experience levels so that younger organizations will be mentored by the more established ones.

By providing a shared space to work from, with other like-minded people around, there’s a built-in supportive network of people who speak the same language and deal with the same issues.
There are only a handful of nonprofit-focused co-working spaces across the country. “Indiana is one of seven states nationwide without a nonprofit trade association. We’re in desperate need of a place that encourages collaboration and training among the sector and Launch Cause is a great step in that direction,” states Zionsville resident and Brackets for Good Executive Director and Co-Founder Matt McIntyre. “It’s a big gap in our state’s

Membership isn’t required for booking an event space or a meeting. “Wouldn’t it be great if Launch Cause evolved to have legs of its own, so that when Boomerang outgrows their space on the lower level and needs to take over this floor, Launch Cause will be able to make it on its own as a stand alone co-working space?” asks Shattuck. Is there any reason to believe that it won’t? For more information, please visit launchcause.org.
