General Manager, Barry Miller

in January of 2008, owner Kevin Paul and his wife Lainie decided to make a few trips to Ireland to research the local pub January marked the 10th anniversary of scenes in and around Dublin. Inspired by the grand opening of Carmel’s Brockway the utilitarian-yet-comfortable aesthetic Public House on Old Meridian Street, and of many pubs in Dublin’s industrial General Manager Barry Miller says the districts, they decided to offer Carmel establishment’s success lies in a combination the most authentic Irish pub experience of casual neighborhood bar aesthetic and they could, enlisting the help of DublinIrish pub authenticity.

“You can really feel like you’re in an 6 / CARMEL MAGAZINE / AUGUST 2018 / atCarmel.com

industrial pub in Dublin when you’re sitting in here,” says Miller, who joined the Brockway team shortly after its 2008 opening. “The way the tables, bar and seating are set up is very much mirrored after those pubs, and the owners had a vision that it could get a really good response in this part of the city.” Brockway prides itself on Irish authenticity down to the smallest of details - from 2009 through 2011 the pub was given an annual award from the makers of Guinness (one of Ireland’s most popular and best-selling

beers) for the staff ’s ability to pour the nation’s most perfect Guinness pint - which, as many fans of the beverage know, involves careful attention to timing, amount poured and glass angle. With a private room in the back, garage doors that open when the warm months arrive and plenty of patio seating, Miller says it’s all part of creating a comfortable and memorable pub experience for every customer. “Our goal has always been to have that Cheers atmosphere where you can come, sit and talk to your family and friends and enjoy a pint of Guinness or whatever you decide you want to drink,” Miller says, adding that the pub hosts live music every Friday and occasionally on Saturdays. “I think we’ve achieved that, and I think that’s another big reason we’ve done well here.” In addition to its ample beer selection, Brockway carries one of the largest arrays of whiskeys, bourbons and scotches in the state according to Miller. The pub’s food menu further exemplifies its dedication to all things Irish with fish and chips, bangers and mash, and shepherds pie, and adds a touch of American flair including burgers, sandwiches and specialty starters like Irish nachos and pickle chips. Tragedy struck in 2015 when Lainie lost a battle with cancer, and since then Kevin has continued to perfect the concept that the couple started through their simple love of pub culture. A few years after opening Brockway, he had decided to try brewing his own homemade beer, and after finalizing a few recipes which led to a growing local demand, he broke ground in 2013 for what would become Danny Boy Beer Works smack in the middle of Carmel’s Village of West Clay. Danny Boy has since expanded to include locations in Bloomington and South Bend, with rotating house brews and guest selections and a menu featuring sandwiches, wraps, pizzas and salads. This March, Brockway broke its own attendance and sales records for St. Patrick’s Day with close to 2,000 people atCarmel.com / AUGUST 2018 / CARMEL MAGAZINE / 7

in attendance over the two-day holiday weekend that featured eight live bands. The event included a memorial ceremony in Lainie’s honor along with fallen members of the local Fire Department, of which she was a big supporter. Miller says he and the staff look forward to many more years of providing a unique pub experience for patrons around the city and state. “The 35 to 50 group is really our biggest demographic, but we get a wide variety of folks here since we’re located in the business district,” Miller adds. “I think for people who haven’t been in a real Irish industrial pub, we give them a true taste of that experience. We don’t plan on going anywhere.” Brockway Public House is located at 12525 Old Meridian Street in Carmel. Give them a call at 317-669-8080 or visit brockwaypub.wordpress.com for additional info.

went towards patient and family financial needs. The money can be used to pay for rent, a car payment, food, gas cards and so much more. “I’m here to be a blessing to other survivors,” Gina says. “You go through a lifethreatening situation and survive it, and you realize you have to do something. This is our way of giving back. It’s the right thing to do.” The Terrils also give back by visiting and spending time with cancer patients, in a world where nearly everyone’s life has been touched by cancer. Gina’s father was stricken with cancer twice, eventually losing his battle. Then, unexpectedly, Gina’s nephew was diagnosed with melanoma. After being evaluated, doctors discovered he had over 50 metastases, and he was given a grim prognosis, with possibly only a few weeks to live. His family suggested he try IU Health, and Danny’s oncologist, Dr. Jennifer Morgan, referred him to a melanoma specialist at the IU Simon Cancer Center. In great hands, Gina’s nephew began a strong chemo regimen and slowly began to beat the disease. Gina’s nephew is now cancer free. Spreading the message of hope is part of the Terrils’ mission. “I have had nothing but wonderful experiences at IU Health,” Danny says. “Everyone on staff has been professional, compassionate and they go above and beyond to help.” Spreading the message of hope will be a major focus of the second annual Cancer Care Cup. This year’s event will run much like last year’s event with a Tee Off Dinner on Sunday August 19, and the tourney Monday, August 20. But this year’s Tee Off Dinner will be slightly different from last year’s. While last year’s dinner featured cancer survivor Paul Page as a keynote speaker, there will be no celebrity keynote speaker this year. The President of IU Health will be unveiling the plans for its new 88,000 square foot cancer pavilion on the North campus in Carmel. atCarmel.com / AUGUST 2018 / CARMEL MAGAZINE / 11

Right now, the funds raised go to patients strictly at IU Health North, but, in time, if the fundraising efforts grow, that may change. “This year, at the Tee Off Dinner, we’ll hear many more testimonies from patients and social workers,” Danny says. “We want to show people there’s so much good left in the world, and you can see it 100 percent in this event.” The Terrils and their team have set a goal to match last year’s amount of $40,000, but they’re hoping to top it.

“We raised a lot of money through the auction items like lunch for two at Tilly’s Tea Room and a Caribbean vacation. But the big hit was the motorcycle,” Gina says.

“We got over $10,000 for the bike,” Danny says. “We’d love to have an item like that for this year. We welcome any offers of donations.”

It’s the attention to little details that can truly make a difference. The team at The Egg & I, 2271 Ponte Parkway, Suite 150, Carmel, pay attention to the little things, and you can taste the difference in their delicious menu items. “For instance, one of the things that make our Reuben sandwich stand out is our Bavarian sauerkraut on grilled rye bread,” says Ashley Ross, the restaurant’s general manager. “It’s the secret to what makes it special.” It’s one of many of their menu items the cooking staff puts a lot of extra effort into. Customer favorites such as their many Eggs Benedict entrees feature several special ingredients. 14 / CARMEL MAGAZINE / AUGUST 2018 / atCarmel.com

“Customers really love ‘The Parisian Benedict,’ which is two poached eggs, with smoked ham, house-roasted, criminal mushrooms and melted Swiss, “ Ross says. “It’s all piled on top of a buttery croissant half, topped with creamy dill hollandaise and fresh herbs.” The Egg and I also features The Hiker’s Benedict, two poached eggs with smoked ham, bacon, asparagus, house-roasted crimini mushrooms and tomatoes, all piled high on an English muffin, topped with creamy dill hollandaise, a Veggie Benedict, a crab cake Benedict and a Classic Eggs Benedict. “We get a lot of compliments on both the breakfast and lunch items,” Ross says. “It’s been that way since the restaurant opened in September 2003. The Carmel community has been very supportive, and we get a lot of customers from Indianapolis, Fishers, Zionsville and all over.” The Egg and I is part of a successful chain across the country. The first Egg and I started in 1987 in Fort Collins, Colorado, by Rayno and Patty Seaser, who wanted to operate a day-time-only restaurant. The Egg and I is named after a book by the same title, written by American Author Betty MacDonald. It was first published in the 1940s and details MacDonald’s humorous travels as a young wife on a chicken farm on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State.

scratch, with freshly ground old-fashioned rolled oats. It’s topped with strawberries, blueberries and powdered sugar and served with their homemade raspberryagave purée. “We also make our own fresh juices every day, including pineapple, grapefruit and a Kale Cooler, with Kale, Fuji Apple, cucumber and lemon,” Ross says. “We have some other flavors that our customers love.

“I love it,” she says “It’s like an everything but the kitchen sink omelet.” Ross also loves the French toast. “It has a thick custard, which is outstanding,” she says. “I highly recommend it. Our lunch sandwiches and salads have also been a big hit.” Ross noted that business at The Egg and I has grown rapidly over the last few years.

“Our Bacon Avocado Scramble and our Frittatas have also been popular, and we also have outstanding pancakes, French toast and waffles. Our French toast batter is made from scratch.”

“The weekends are crazy in a good way,” she says. “We get a lot of return business. I’m glad that so many people have discovered us and keep returning to get their own special favorites.”

Ross’ favorite is The Egg-Ceptional Omelette, with sausage, smoked ham, bacon, onions, tomatoes and crimini mushrooms, with melted Jack and Cheddar.

The Egg & I is located at 2271 Ponte Pointe Parkway, Suite 150 in Carmel. Give them a call at 317-575-3444 or visit them online at theeggandIrestaurants.com.

Ross noted that an emphasis on freshness has been one of the key ingredients to the restaurant’s success. “We add new things to the menu to also keep things fresh,” Ross says. “We have a new Tuscan Scramble, which is eggs scrambled with our house-roasted onions, tomatoes, smoked turkey, fresh spinach, mozzarella and Parmesan. It also has diced tomatoes, avocado, basil pesto and fresh herbs. It comes with fresh fruit and an English muffin.” The Egg and I also has a new Oatmeal Pancake, a gluten-free pancake made from atCarmel.com / AUGUST 2018 / CARMEL MAGAZINE / 15

HOOSIER SALON Writer / Suzanne Huntzinger Photographer / Brandy Hornback

Art isn’t just for art fans. Hoosier Salon art gallery in Carmel is working hard to prove that to everyone in the community. “There’s a misconception that only rich people visit art galleries and only they appreciate it,” says Mike Sinon, Manager of Hoosier Salon Art Gallery. “But we want to show people that art is accessible to everyone. The art world is ever changing and there’s something in it for everyone. Every person in Indiana could find a painting or work of art that speaks to them. They just don’t know where to look.” Hoosier Salon art gallery opened in Carmel just a few years ago, but the organization has been around since 1925. It was started by the Daughters of Indiana whose mission was to promote Indiana artists and their works. They opened a gallery in Chicago at Marshall Fields Department Store, then brought the art back home to Indiana, moving to various venues and finally settling at the Indiana

State Museum. Now, the art is at the Hoosier Salon in Carmel and at a sister gallery in New Harmony. Having one of the most historic and storied collections of Hoosier art by Hoosier artists is reason enough to want to check out the gallery. But Sinon and the staff give guests a lot more reasons. The Carmel gallery has two sides in the building. One side is a consignment shop filled with the works of hundreds of Hoosier artists. “We keep it eclectic,” Sinon says. “We have many different types of art to appeal to all tastes.” The other side of the gallery is strictly for shows and exhibitions, and Hoosier Salon holds plenty of those throughout the year. For starters, on the second Saturday of each month, the gallery holds Second Saturdays. The event, which brings in about 300 guests, features a gallery walkthrough of the works of featured artists, food and wine and live 16 / CARMEL MAGAZINE / AUGUST 2018 / atCarmel.com

music. Some special art shows feature the works of two or three chosen Hoosier artists, but sometimes the gallery holds a show of a group of artists. One popular exhibit was May through June’s Plein Air Happening. During the exhibit, the gallery invited artists Legrand and Rudolech to engage in a little competition to paint 30 paintings of plein air, or outdoor scenery, in less than two days. The artists drew their subjects out of a hat and worked away, creating paintings showing scenery that changes by the light of the day. In July, Hoosier Salon will be hosting Beauty in Bloom. The floral-themed show will feature the works of Diane Lyon and Beth Clary Schwier. Both Hoosier artists waited until later in life to promote their art and take on their craft full-time. “Few artists can work on their craft fulltime as beginners and market themselves right away,” Sinon says. “We want to educate people all over the state who are full-time artists taking on the burden of being self-employed.”

Don’t miss Carmel on Canvas, Plein Air Paint out, hosted by Hoosier Salon, September 14-15. Artists who’ve registered to participate in the event engage in two days of plein air (outdoor) painting in the Carmel Arts and Design District. Artists can win prizes if their painting is selected by a restaurant to hang in their building. More than $11,000 in prizes is up for grabs in four categories, professional, non-professional, teen and children. The largest and most famous exhibit involving Hoosier Salon is the annual exhibition. The 94th Annual Exhibition will be held at the Indiana State Museum August 3-October 14. Don’t miss your opportunity to experience the finest Hoosier art by Indiana’s finest artists. Visit Hoosier Salon today at 22 N. Rangeline Road in Carmel.

SUN KING SPIRITS CELEBRATES GRAND OPENING IN CARMEL Writer / Jon Shoulders Photographer / Michael Durr

Many Central Indiana residents know the name Sun King Brewery as one of the area’s most successful local craft beer purveyors, founded in 2009 in downtown Indy. The company is now diversifying in several ways at its new location in Carmel.

made out of, it’s based in beer or wine,” says Dave Colt, co-founder, head brewer and now head distiller. “As a brewery, you’re halfway there. So why not take that step?”

facility, which houses a taproom and patio. Spirits are available by the bottle and glass, and like Sun King’s Indy and Fishers taproom locations, the distillery is open to all ages.

Colt says Sun King has a robust barrelaging system as part of its ongoing beer production that it will incorporate into a barrel-aged whiskey program.

Spirits aren’t the only new venture at Sun King’s new location — food is offered onsite through unconventional means. Four local eateries offer their dishes in a food-hall atmosphere including Fountain Squarebased La Margarita, Pi pizza, Beast food truck and Oca, the sister business of Goose the Market.

Sun King Spirits near the Monon Trail represents a few new frontiers for the company — first and foremost, the 15,000-square-foot facility features a 250-gallon still that produces gin, rum and seasonal spirits including an agave-based liquor.

“It’s a nice symbiotic relationship on the barrel side — we can make bourbon, age it and send it to the brewery,” Colt says, adding that local ingredients will be used whenever possible in the distillation process. “It’s great for the growth of our company and a good outlet for creativity.”

“When you take a look at what spirits are

Construction began last year on the new 18 / CARMEL MAGAZINE / AUGUST 2018 / atCarmel.com

“We’re not restaurateurs — we make beer and now spirits, and when we thought about doing the food hall we realized we know some good food places who make really good stuff,” Colt says.

Sun King began flirting with the food hall idea last year when Oca, which serves meat platters and flatbread pizzas, opened temporarily inside its downtown Indy taproom. Colt says the Carmel concept is similar to a food truck gathering, where each eatery operates independently and is encouraged to open up shop during the distillery’s hours of operation.

“We’re taking that food truck kind of concept and bringing it indoors where the temperature is 70 degrees and pleasant year-round,” he says. “We travel a lot for beer conferences, and as we’ve gone to other states and seen other cool things it dawned on us when we were putting together the distillery that we should do something unique and bring a few of the food ideas that we’ve seen out in the country to Indy.”

Co-Owner, Clay Robinson

Sun King technically started offering edibles back in 2014 when founders got word that they couldn’t sell beer pints without offering a minimal food menu. In response, the company began selling hot pockets, instant soup, coffee and powdered milk, and after Indiana law changed in 2015 via House Bill 1311, requiring breweries to simply “make food available for consumption on the brewery premises,” they got more creative.

“We started with Oca at our main location downtown and people responded to it,” Colt says. “The response was positive, and we thought we’d expand on it at the distillery.” After a soft opening in June, Sun King Spirits officially opened its doors to the public on July 2, and Colt says the company plans to host a follow-up event in September to further celebrate its Carmel presence. Notwithstanding the company’s focus on beer since its 2009 founding, spirits were always on the mind of Colt and his co-founders. “We thought early on in the Sun King business that if we did well and we were eventually able to branch out and take a look at doing spirits, then we ought to,” Colt says. “So here we are.” Sun King Spirits is located at 351 Monon Blvd. in Carmel. Call 317-843-6250 or visit sunkingbrewing.com/Carmel.html for more info, tap lists and links to food menus.

Families of the Boy Scouts of America have been asking for years to welcome daughters into the program that they have seen change their son’s lives.

This fall, families can now sign up their sons and daughters for Cub Scouting In October of 2017, the Boy Scouts of America Board of Directors unanimously approved to welcome girls into its iconic Cub Scout program and to deliver a Scouting program for older girls that will enable them to advance and earn the highest rank of Eagle Scout. The historic decision comes after years of receiving requests from families that they want to participate together. The BSA evaluated the results of numerous research efforts, gaining input from current members and leaders, as well as parents and girls who’ve never been involved in Scouting. This research confirmed that the curriculum is applicable to both girls and boys, and offers families an additional choice in meeting the character development needs of all their children. Cub Scouts and the Boy Scouts of America have created a unique model that builds on the benefits of single gender programs while providing the same character and leadership opportunities for both boys and girls. Cub Scout dens will be single gender, all boys or all girls, not co-ed.

NOW IS THE

TIME!

Using the same respected Scouting curriculum, all youth will be able to earn the belt loops, merit badges, and even Eagle Scout rank. This unique approach allows the organization to maintain the integrity of the single-gender model while also meeting the needs of today’s busy families, with all of the same character building, outdoor activities and service Scouts are known for in the community! Our mission is still the same—to prepare every young person to become a strong, brave, loyal, kind and responsible citizen. The values of the Scout Law – trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent – are relevant and important for every boy and girl.

THE OLD SPAGHETTI FACTORY P O P U L A R I TA L I A N R E S TAU R A N T F I N D I N G S U C C E S S AT N E W C A R M E L L O C AT I O N Writer / Matt Keating Photographer / Ron Wise

The Old Spaghetti Factory, 918 S. Rangeline Road, Carmel, has been packing in hundreds of guests anxious to enjoy the same great meals they devour at the restaurant’s popular downtown location. The restaurant chain has been a big hit for more than 50 years because it’s a destination restaurant where people get together to have fun and enjoy delicious food. “We chose the Carmel location because we loved that it was such a family-friendly community and that we also had a

relationship with the greater area from being open in downtown Indianapolis for so many years,” says Ryan Durrett, Director of Marketing for The Old Spaghetti Factory International. “Carmel’s growth, strong community values and the location’s proximity to the area were all aspects that drew our interest.” Durrett says that the Carmel location, which opened recently, has the same great food as the downtown Indianapolis location but also has different features, including a relaxing patio. “The patio is unique in that it was designed so that it could be used almost year round,” 22 / CARMEL MAGAZINE / AUGUST 2018 / atCarmel.com

Durrett says. “It really provides a nice extension of the restaurant and gives us even more flexibility to accommodate our guests and offer more dining area options.” Durrett believes The Old Spaghetti Factory has been so successful because everyone involved with the restaurant knows how to make their guests happy. “We feel we’ve been able to connect well with guests because our core blueprint has remained the same for almost 50 years,” Durrett says. “We pride ourselves on our value, and we are known for our deliciously affordable three-course meals. Those things, paired with our unique

décor and dining atmosphere, really create a memorable dining experience for our guests. Our number one goal is to always provide exceptional service, and we believe our ability to accommodate families and groups for any occasion has helped us create generations of memories with guests.” The Old Spaghetti Factory was started in

1969 in Portland, Oregon, by Guss and Sally experience. The work that goes into the Dussin. Their business plan for success was restaurant’s décor makes every guest feel honesty, dignity, respect, hard work and like they are entering another world. guest satisfaction. “Our guests enjoy the intricate stained glass “The company is still family-owned to this displays and antique lighting,” Durrett says. “They also love the food.” day,” Durrett says. The Dussin family still ensures that each meal at the restaurant is a positive

Almost every meal is made from scratch with fresh ingredients.

“The most popular menu items at the Carmel location are The Spaghetti with Mizithra Cheese and Browned Butter and also The Manager’s Favorite, where you get to choose any two sauces for your spaghetti,” Durrett says. The Lunch for Less items have also been popular. They include lunch-sized Pasta Classic Entrees, served with hot fresh baked bread and soup or Caruso green salad with a choice of dressing. Durrett noted that a variety of delicious sauces are available, including marinara, rich meat, white clam, mushroom or the famous Mizithra Cheese and Browned Butter. Dinner options include The Old Spaghetti Factory favorites such as their famous Baked Lasagna, Chicken Parmigiana, Fettuccine Alfredo and Chicken Marsala. Factory Platters include Taste of Italy, a special recipe of Lasagna and Fettuccine Alfredo and Stuffed Pasta. Signature Selections include Chicken Piccata, Tenderloin & Mizithra, three medallions of beef tenderloin seasoned with oregano and lemon juice, sautéed with oregano and lemon juice, sautéed in olive oil and paired with Spaghetti and Broccoli with Mizithra Cheese and Browned Butter. Garlic Shrimp Fettuccine, and Gourmet Jumbo Crab Ravioli. A gluten-free menu and a kid’s menu are also available. Durrett has difficulties picking a favorite. “I always have a hard time deciding when we eat at the restaurant,” he says. “For me, it always comes down to Chicken Piccata, Spaghetti with Mizithra, The Manager’s Favorite, or the Chicken Marsala. It’s such a tough choice. “We are thrilled to be open in Carmel, and are looking forward to getting better acquainted with everyone in the community this summer,” Durrett adds. The Old Spaghetti Factory is located at 918 S. Rangeline Road in Carmel. You can give them a call at 317-708-9669 or visit them online at osf.com.

New Indiana Agriculture & Technology School Is Training Next Generation of Farmers Writer / Nicole Sipe Photography Provided

idea behind the school is that students in grades 7 through 12 will have the opportunity to prepare for a career in agriculture before they graduate. Students will study biosciences, agribusiness, conservation, environmental science, forestry, drones and other farm-related subjects.

Agriculture is a big business in Indiana, contributing about $31.2 billion to the state’s economy and providing jobs for more than 107,000 Hoosiers. The problem is, the average farmer is 64 years old, and new farming techniques are becoming more high-tech. How to deal with this problem? A “Students will typically take six credit new school might have the answer. hours a semester, and they determine what their day looks like academically,” says The Indiana Agriculture & Technology Keith Marsh, executive director and chief School (IATS) is a new tuition-free charter academic officer for IATS. “The student’s school that pairs online learning with labs academic day is monitored daily by their and project-based activities on a farm in course instructor, their academic tutor if Morgantown, south of Indianapolis. The they need one, their success coach who 26 / CARMEL MAGAZINE / AUGUST 2018 / atCarmel.com

helps them organize and prioritize their academic studies and their student learning advocate who monitors the entire team and works daily with the student. The ratio is four educators to one student. That is very unique in a virtual educational setting.” IATS has offices in Carmel, but students do all their academic learning online, so there are no physical school classes to attend. This setup is unique and is the first of its kind in the area. “We know that there are agriculture schools, such as the one up in Chicago, that is a magnet for the Chicago Public Schools,” Marsh says. “But from what we know, they

are set up like a traditional school with a building. We do not know of anyone who has a 600-plus acre farm campus as well as being a virtual school.” IATS is working with the Indiana Department of Natural Resources to create their project-based curriculum. “Some of the activities that we want to offer are forest management, orienteering and mapping, water and soil management and wildlife management, just to name a few,” Marsh says. “We will also offer a drone certification program that starts in their junior year of high school. Junior year consists of online learning, and at the end of the junior year students will take a test with the Future Farmers of America and become certified commercial drone pilots. “Senior year consists of visual stick flying, where students will be flying all sizes of drones to become proficient in flying,” Marsh says. “They can put this certification in their back pocket and utilize it in a lot of careers, especially in the agriculture business.” Students who graduate from IATS will earn either their Indiana Core 40, Core 40 Honors or Core 40 Technical Honors diploma. “Then, they can pursue the workforce right out of high school or attend a two or four-year college of their choice,” Marsh says.

With the first day of school lingering in the not-so-distant future, you're probably feeling both excited and overwhelmed. From creating healthy sleep habits and establishing a good morning routine to handling back-to-school anxiety and learning how to make communication more manageable, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got 10 back to school tips and tricks for parents to help make this your best year yet! 1. MAKE A COUNTDOWN

to those routines while wanting to get in as much fun as you can, but it will help the transition immensely for you and your kids if you start early. 2. POSITIVE ATTITUDE You know that your child will reap the benefits of going to school. Try to keep any anxiety or stress you may have from showing to your child. 3. VISIT THE SCHOOL

This is a great practice for young kids Using a calendar, paper chain or whiteboard, starting preschool or Kindergarten. It is start a countdown a couple weeks before equally great for children entering a new school. With this countdown ease into school. Map out their classes and let them their school routine with bedtime, setting try out their locker. Park where they will out their clothes for the next day and when park and walk in, making their first day of they'll be waking up. It'll be hard to stick school more familiar. 28 / CARMEL MAGAZINE / AUGUST 2018 / atCarmel.com

4. MORNING ROUTINE Routine is the key word here. It may take a few weeks or even months to figure out the perfect routine for your family, but once you've got it, stick with it. Write it out or discuss it with your kids to let them know how you'd like to see the morning go. Have them help you figure out what works best for them. 5. EVENING ROUTINE Although morning routines help with the ease into a new day, setting up an evening routine can make that morning routine breeze by. Again, see what works best for your family. Maybe make a chart or an evening routine clock that shows what things they need to accomplish before lights out. Do as much as you can the night before

so the next morning is simple (set out clothes, make lunches, look at the week ahead etc.) 6. GO SCHOOL SHOPPING Head to the store for their favorite foods in their packed lunch. Purchase the necessary school supplies or even a new First Day outfit. Get haircuts. Having a day with them to prepare for the new year ahead will let your kids know you want to make this as easy and as fun as possible for them. 7. MAKE A DROP ZONE Talk to your child about homework rules and where they should put papers that need to be looked at or signed. Have enough space for each child's backpack, shoes, water bottles or anything else they will be carrying home from school so there is no frustration in the morning to find these items. Make sure they know it's their space and their responsibility to keep their items there. 8. MAKE A CALENDAR Add all of the holidays and school info and hang it where your child can see it. If they join a club or sport, have them write in their games or practice dates and times to let them have a little responsibility over knowing when their time is scheduled. If you have a younger child, use stickers to let them know which days they have games or practices. Starting this habit of letting them schedule their time will help them decide what is too much on their plate.

9. BE PRESENT As tempting as it is to tell our kids they have nothing to worry about as a way to distract them, sometimes the best thing we can do as parents is to simply listen. If your child is finding school stressful, allow him or her to put their feelings into words so you can figure out exactly what is bothering them and (hopefully) find a solution to their worries. Spend 5 to 10 minutes connecting with each child in the morning or evening routine, with your phone put away. Talk about who they're excited to see or what they're going to do at recess. If they are nervous for the week ahead, brainstorm a family activity for the weekend.

atCarmel.com / AUGUST 2018 / CARMEL MAGAZINE / 29

10. OUTSOURCE YOUR TIME Know that it's okay to ask for help. Figure out what is taking up a lot of your time, therefore, keeping you from your family. Is there a way to pay to have it done by someone else? Hire a cleaning service, utilize grocery pick up or delivery, make crock-pot meals, carpool with other parents for practices. There are many ways to simplify if you are able to step back and see what needs to be adjusted.

SETTLING IN Meet New Carmel Clay Schools Superintendent Dr. Michael Beresford Writer / Josh Brown Photographer / Brian Brosmer

He’s still getting settled in, but Michael Beresford already feels right at home in his new office at Carmel Clay Schools.

“I’ve used that word before, but I don’t think I’ve ever felt it until now,” Dr. Beresford says. “I am extremely excited. I feel like the luckiest guy on the planet. I’ve had some great opportunities and this has been really special. The process the board used was very thoughtful and sometimes grueling, but I just feel fortunate to be the one that got picked.”

Dr. Beresford was voted in by the school board as the new superintendent of Carmel Clay Schools in June and officially started on July 1. He has described this next chapter Dr. Beresford is no stranger to Carmel, of his career as “surreal.” having worked right across town for 25

years with Hamilton Southeastern Schools. The resume speaks for itself. He started on as a school guidance counselor at HSE Schools before eventually working his way up to the roles of director of counseling, principal and, the latest position he held, assistant superintendent. That experience likely gave Beresford a leg up on the competition. As for his interest in the position, Dr.

Beresford says it was truly a perfect fit at this figure the best way to do that is to talk point in his life. to the people who live here and work here. This is a community that loves “Being a Hamilton County administrator education. Education is valued in the and having several years under my belt in homes, and the kids come to school many different settings was probably an ready to learn.

Beresford says it is a topic that is constantly discussed The school was much different then, too. Beresford says HSE had about 830 students among administration and ever-changing as they look for ways to keep students safe at the high school at the time. each day. “I think there are that many students in a single lunch period now,” Dr. Beresford says. “In Hamilton County, all the school “When you talk about the relationships I’ve districts work together when it comes to made — the only way schools are successful school safety,” he says. “We are always talking with one another to find out what is when we work together.

It was real hard to parents and communities to the bone. say goodbye, but there is always a time for When it is right next door, it is even more moving on.” With the school year around the corner, Dr. Beresford is jumping right in with his new duties at Carmel. Carmel Clay Schools has some big decisions looming, particularly when it comes to new programming and the status of elementary buildings within the district. Some of those decisions, while he will have input, will likely be decided before the school year starts. Regardless, Dr. Beresford says he is excited to get started and has made it his mission for his first 100 days to be a “listening tour.” “My learning curve is pretty inclined,” he says. “Every school district and every community has its own culture. I’m trying to learn the Carmel way, and I atCarmel.com / AUGUST 2018 / CARMEL MAGAZINE / 31

devastating. We will evaluate what we can do every day to keep our school and our students safe.” Dr. Beresford has already met with the head school resource officer and is working with the Carmel Police Department about anything that needs to be done or in place before school starts. He says the community will also have input on school safety as well. At the end of May, Dr. Beresford took part in the school safety forum held at HSE Schools. The forum was highly successful and resulted in engaging discussions between faculty, parents and police. Dr. Beresford says he hopes to have a similar forum soon for the Carmel community to voice their questions, concerns and opinions on the topic of school safety.

Coming from a counseling background, mental health is also a topic near and dear to Dr. Beresford. Last year, he developed a partnership with HSE Schools and Community Health Network. The result was 13 licensed mental health therapists that now work throughout the school district. HSE also received a $2.1M grant last year through the Lilly Endowment for the initiative. Carmel Clay School already has social workers and some initiatives in place when it comes to mental health. But Dr. Beresford says he will certainly be evaluating those initiatives as well and looking to see if any other support systems need to be added in the future. “It is a topic I am passionate about,” Dr. Beresford says. “We want to support our kids that have mental health needs, but we also want to put into place education on how to deal with stress and anxiety. It isn’t just in Hamilton County, our kids everywhere are stressed out these days. We have to get over the stigma that mental

health is different from physical health. We don’t want any student or anyone in the community to be suffering in silence.” As the community gets to know Dr. Beresford, they will quickly find out that he is a family man. He’s been married for 29 years, has three kids (all out of the house now), enjoys music, plays some guitar and says he and his wife are “hikers and bikers.” But, at the end of the day, he says he’s “a school guy” and always has been passionate about education. “I want the community to know that my team and I are going to do everything we can do to make sure your kids have a world-class experience at school,” Dr. Beresford says. “I look forward to teaming up with the parents in the community. The community is together because we all want our kids to be in a position to have a wonderful future. Great things are already happening here. I just hope to fan that flame and keep it going.”

Mackenzie River Pizza Company Owners Jon and Mike Shuel

MACKENZIE RIVER PIZZA COMPANY STILL SERVING NORTHSIDE GUESTS Writer & Photographer / Stephanie Duncan

Locally born, but Montana raised, brothers Jon and Mike Shuel opened up Mackenzie River Pizza Company about seven years ago and made this cozy Montana based restaurant a staple for Castleton and Indianapolis residents. Located in North East Indianapolis in the heart of Castleton, minutes away from Castleton Square Mall, you can share a drink with friends and enjoy some stellar pizza. Though the Carmel location closed earlier this year, many patrons still enjoy the great food and atmosphere at the Castleton spot. A new Carmel location could be in the works in the future.

The Shuel brothers, who grew up in the original Montana restaurant location that was owned by their parents, had experience in every part of the business and decided to pursue their passion but in Indiana. Both brothers attended Indiana University in Bloomington and pursued other careers post-graduation but found that they really wanted to try owning their own restaurant, so they moved back to Indiana where they were born and brought their family restaurant to Indiana. “We grew up working in this business, and when you grow up around something enough, it gets in your blood,” Jon says. “We love it, we enjoyed it.” 36 / CARMEL MAGAZINE / AUGUST 2018 / atCarmel.com

Mackenzie Pizza River Company is a fullservice family casual restaurant. Walking in you get the immediate nod to the outdoors and Montana wilderness with trees decorating the seating space, beautiful animal art adorning the walls and a large red canoe hanging from the ceiling. From fresh salads, made from scratch soups, fun appetizers, popular pub entrees like fish and chips, to unique pizzas, there is something on the menu that everyone can enjoy. Go bold with the unique Thai Pie pizza, with an exciting and different Thai peanut sauce, mandarin oranges, peanuts, red peppers and seasoned chicken. Or keep it traditional with the Good Ol’ Boy which has a heaping amount of pepperoni and

gooey mozzarella cheese. You can also find fresher, greener options with their popular Cobb Salad or the Green Horn Veggie Wrap that’s overflowing with the best toppings.

BUILDING WEALTH. One personalized portfolio at a time.

No meal is complete without something sweet, so feed your cravings with a mouthwatering dessert menu to really end the meal on a high note. Try the traditional Warm Apple Cobbler or mouthwatering Kentucky Bourbon Bites. You can also enjoy a full bar featuring a variety of Indiana craft beers, along with weekly drink specials Monday through Thursday, so there’s always something new to try. Over the years, the restaurant has been a favorite weekend spot to hang out with family and friends. With its casual atmosphere and convenient location, people keep coming back for the stellar food and friendly service. Bring your kids in on Tuesday where kids eat free or bring a date for a fun casual evening. The restaurant sits right off 82nd Street, minutes away from the mall. After shopping, guests can enjoy their patio that sits back over a small park.

High client satisfaction = over 90% client retention.

Enjoy this little taste of Montana with Indiana roots. In a rush? The restaurant also has a convenient loyalty app where you can order for pick up and earn rewards.
