Business Spotlight

By J. Andy Murphy If you’ve met Jeff Sheats, you will understand when I describe him as a whirlwind of unlimited interior design creativity. His work is a prime example of someone who takes “getting to know his clients” to a whole other level.

“It’s my job to find out exactly what my clients want and how they ‘see’ the final outcome of what I need to accomplish for them. It’s not about me and what I want. It’s about them.

To accomplish this takes a lot of interacting and a well-thought-out discovery plan,” he said.

Jeff accomplishes this by going on a personal “mind trip” with each customer. He calls it the “It’s You Survey.” The questions are unique in an industry where designers usually have a certain style, look and pallette for which they are known.

With Jeff, you simply can’t put him in a box like that. He gets the big picture, and he’s a master at honing in on even the smallest details such as if the client is right or left handed; selecting a doorknob that brings out the personality of a client and door; or mixing patterns and colors that, when combined, create a cultural outcome not thought of before. I could go on.

It is a fascinating process that he has developed so successfully that in the end, his finished interiors reflect the clients’ personalities to a tee.

“I think of it as satisfying the visual sensibilities of individual living habits. Once you have this insight, everything falls into place. I work with a lot of clients and their builders in new construction, as well as working with homeowners who want to stay where they are, but remodel their interiors and/or exteriors,” he adds. “My forte is building or remodeling spaces then furnishing them to meet the client’s lifestyle, comfort, and aesthetic desires.”

Jeff Sheats Designs, Inc. projects span everything from new home interior design to an existing home remodels. (Left) An eat-in kitchen, (right) in-home library, (bottom) and great room are just a few of the projects showcased on the JeffSheatsDesign.com website.

Jeff started this business nearly 19 years ago as a freelancer when his friends started asking him to help them design and decorate their homes. “I grew up in Carmel but moved to the Irvington area, bought a house, and remodeled it. I was involved in my family’s business at the time and hadn’t ventured out on my own until one friend’s project turned into another and, through word of mouth, it led to getting the opportunity to be mentored by two wonderful designers. This really gave me the foundation to open the doors for my own shop,” he said with thoughtful reflection. It’s obvious Jeff loves working with people and being part of the fabric of their lives. To spend a few moments with this creative interior designer is not enough to convey the knowledge that he has stored from his business and design degrees (Indiana and Purdue Universities) and the extensive first-person experience in doing what he obviously was born to do all over the world!

As I said earlier, he’s a whirlwind of unlimited design creativity. So if you are considering building or remodeling a home, or just need professional interior design assistance with furnishing your spaces, give Jeff a call. Even if it’s to be done one room at a time, there is no job too small or too large for Jeff and his talented associates.

The secret ingredient at Seasons 52 is what’s not in any of the recipes: Butter. Executive Chef Bill Erath takes pride in the way their dishes are prepared versus what is added to them.

chef’s secret

Seasons 52:

Changing the Way We Dine Out Photos and Story by Heather MacWilliams Before you walk into the Seasons 52 Restaurant, conveniently located at Keystone at the Crossing, you should know one thing: They don’t have butter in the restaurant.

“It’s not like we use it sparingly. We don’t have butter in the restaurant,” confides Executive Chef Bill Erath, who unabashedly offers this fact without blinking an eye. In fact, he’s proud of the ingredient’s omission.

“That’s like in every chef’s back pocket. Throw some more fat in there it will taste great. But to me there’s a responsibility,” says Erath who hails from Indianapolis and trained under the watchful eye of Seasons 52’s corporate culinary director Clifford Pleau.

Every item served on the Seasons 52 menu is less than 475 calories – but your taste buds won’t know the difference.

“With us the biggest difference in how we approach flavor is how we prepare it – how we cook it as opposed to what we add to it.”

Erath achieves an intense depth-of-flavor in each of his dishes by employing cooking techniques such as woodfire grilling, brick-oven cooking, and carmelization to let the ingredient’s natural flavors shine through. This fact is evident the moment you walk through the front door and are greeted with the sensual aromas of oak wood and mesquite charcoal crackling just a few feet away.

The atmosphere at Seasons 52 is drop-in casual, always busy but never raucous, with an open kitchen that feeds energy into the room. More often, those rooms are filled by the buttoned up white collar crowd, interspersed with the ladies who lunch – both groups keenly aware of what they are putting into their bodies. The result is sophisticated, understated elegance – not painfully hip.

The same can be said for the menu – which boasts everything from a succulent Piedmonte steak perfumed by smoke and served over a bed of creamy corn risotto to their take on the proverbial Caprese salad.

In this appetizer, the chef mimics fried mozzarella by

toasting panko (Japanese breadcrumbs) ahead of time, which are then sprinkled over the cheese before being slid into a brick oven and warmed. Afterwards, the baked mozzarella rests on the ripest tomatoes in town which are left to luxuriate in the restaurant’s signature marinade made of sherry vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, and a basil pesto.

Each dish is indicative of the chef’s passion for letting the product do the work, using only high-quality, seasonal ingredients when possible. Hence the name Seasons 52: “Seasons” since the menu is changed with the solstice and “52” because the side bar portion of the menu changes every week.“It’s pretty cool to work for a restaurant that changes the way we think about dining out,” says Erath.

Inspired by the farm-to-fork movement, Erath not only has an aggressive commitment to freshness, but tries to use local, sustainable, organic, and all-natural products whenever possible. “Right now we can get really great asparagus so we’re going to.”

For example when the restaurant can’t get local tomatoes, they outsource from Cal Organics located near the Mohave Desert where they sublease fields, says Erath, easily rattling off from memory where his lettuce, chicken, and beef are sourced. “For us we actually go out and visit the farms where our product is from. They know that one of our people will come out and visit them any time of the year; and if it’s not right, they lose their account right there on the spot.” The result is a safer and more consistent product that just so happens to be good for you.

Take, for instance, the confidently simple cedar plank Sockeye salmon.

Preparation for this dish can be traced back to the Native Americans who once roamed the Pacific Northwest.

“They’d catch a piece of salmon and actually plank the cedar and then cook it over an open fire,” Erath points out.

So if it ain’t broken why fix it?

Instead of spear fishing, Erath has a good fish monger.

“Know your supplier. Because a lot of places are going for the cheapest salmon and some of those farms are modifying the genetics to get a better yield. But where you really get june 2012 |

n e w s l e tt e r

into trouble is the feed that the salmon are getting. Mother nature intended for salmon to have an all-natural seafood diet.”

Cedar Plank Roasted Salmon Before you get started: • Select premium salmon filets—preferably wild or organic • Cedar planks – available at gourmet grocery stores • Soak cedar planks overnight in water Ingredients for Marinade: • 4 fresh salmon filets (6 to 8 ounces per piece, boneless, skinless) • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard • 1 teaspoon malt vinegar • 1 teaspoon soy sauce • 1 lemon, zest and juice • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (plus some for planks) Combine ingredients above and lemon zest in a small glass dish. Coat salmon filets with marinade and allow to marinate for one hour. Sea salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste Procedure: Pre-heat oven to 475°F. Remove cedar planks from soaking water. Rub cedar planks with extra virgin olive oil. Place salmon filets on cedar planks and season with sea salt and fresh ground pepper. Roast salmon 8-10 minutes (depending on size of filets). Serve with lemon and your favorite side dishes.

Serves: 4

Erath then adds a few modern day twists by soaking a cedar plank (about 3/8 of an inch thick) the day before, and bathing it in a mustard marinade that morning. Then like all good red-blooded Americans, Erath fires up the grill and cooks the fish on indirect heat. Your plank should smolder and burn around the edges. “You get that grilled, smoky undertone. That’s the real secret,” says Erath as a grin spreads across his face.

The end result showcases the natural richness of the salmon kissed by smoke and accompanied by a seductive array of seasonal produce. Any delicate fish such as a Chilean seabass or Arctic Char will work with this recipe. Just remember: the denser the fish, the more resistant it will be to the smoke.

The portions are small compared to Hoosier standards, but Erath says Americans simply have a skewed perception of value. “When I’m cooking for my family at home, I don’t take a 16-inch oval platter and mound it up there. So why do we expect that when we go to a restaurant?”

Instead, realistic portion sizes make way for the diner to indulge in more appetizers. Try the lobster and shrimp spring roll filled with lightly blanched carrots, snow peas, red peppers, and shitake mushrooms accompanied by a lemon curry; tomatillo; and sweet and spicy red chili sauces.

Or the not-to-be-missed Portabella mushroom flatbread with truffle cream sauce and a balsamic drizzle. Instead of being cloyingly sweet, the vinegar is reduced and carmelized which intensifies the natural sugars without all the calories.

Carmel’s Old Library

Looks to the Future

By Stephanie Carlson Curtis Carmel’s “Old Library” has a new owner who plans to open its doors to fresh and unique opportunities for students.

In a special session on July 9, the Carmel Clay school board unanimously approved a resolution to purchase the 3.5-acre property from the Clay Township Board of Hamilton County. The building, currently referred to as the Community Life & Learning Center, is located at 515 East Main Street, directly south of the high school, and will add approximately 30,000 square feet to the district’s existing three million square feet of bricks and mortar.

According to Dr. Jeff Swensson, superintendent of Carmel Clay Schools, the district is on a mission to be globally competitive and envisions linking students with an increase in college experience while still in high school. “The neat thing about this facility is it is going to allow us to take the concept we are advancing of being a high performing school district and offer university level courses where students can get college credit and develop what I call habits of the mind of college.”

“The professional educators of Carmel Clay Schools are always thinking about how to help our students compete on a global platform,” said Layla Spanenberg, President, Carmel Clay School Board. “Realizing that CCS was already exceeding state standards and setting the benchmark for excellence in Indiana, Dr. Swensson developed this concept of a High Performing School District (HPSD) designation.”

This vision is designed to be a national best practice model, which exemplifies the best qualities of the school district. The concept for excelled academic curriculums is on the drawing board and district leadership will be brainstorming with the community, business leaders as well as administrators and teachers at the high school to develop programming and resources that will engage kids in higher learning. “The opportunities are endless,” said Swensson.

“For instance, we could partner with universities and college professors could teach advanced science or math courses, we could offer additional languages, and business people could mentor students.” In the meantime, the building

currently houses the Legacy Project and Ivy Tech remains a tenant for another year.

“IUPUI moved out a year and a half ago, stopped paying rent and left the township with a shortfall,” said Doug Callahan, Clay Township Trustee. “We cut the budget but still had to come up with money to pay the expenses.”

According to Callahan, the township board was focused on preserving the building for higher learning, but a lack of available parking presented a problem to the colleges they approached about purchasing the property.

“We determined that Carmel Clay Schools would be a good fit and talked to them about buying it,” said Callahan, “The building is well-maintained, in good condition and we recently replaced the roof.” Due to the proximity to the high school, the lack of parking was not a deterrent to the CCS leadership and the chance to provide accelerated educational programs was attractive especially the prospect that students could save parents’ money on their college education by taking college level courses while still living at home thus saving on rent and board.

“After some discussion with CCS executives and the school board, the district agreed to purchase the former library property through an intergovernmental transfer and a payment $250,000, which reimbursed the township for the cost of the new roof,” said Callahan.

The township originally bought the property for approximately $1.5 million from the Carmel Clay Public Library using taxpayer money in the late 1990’s when the library moved into its new facility. “We instituted a transfer so the community would not have to pay for the purchase of the building twice,” said Callahan. An intergovernmental transfer legally allows government entities to move property among agencies without instituting a sale.

“The higher learning opportunity will have a very positive impact on our students and our Carmel Community. Not only will this help our students succeed on a global scale and realize their potential, this opportunity makes the successful CCS system even more attractive as a destination school district,” said Spanenberg. august 2012 |

n e w s l e tt e r

While the cost to operate the building is not yet clear, Swensson maintains the resources are already in place to care for the structure through the facilities department and contends that the additional operating costs will not affect the bottom line since the space accounts for only 1-percent of total square footage of the district’s schools and offices.

While there is much to do concerning the planning and implementation of advanced programming, he says the ultimate goal is to maximize the type of things the future will hold for greyhound learners. “We get a big F, as in the grade, if we don’t take steps to move our school system forward,” said Swensson. “We’ll take an F, as in future to implement this global approach to learning.” The school system assumes ownership of the old library on September 1st.

Pool Party Dilemma Dear Heather, I want to host a pool party to celebrate my daughter’s 10th birthday, but I’m a little nervous. What do I need to keep in mind?

-In the Swim Mom Dear In the Swim Mom, Holding a birthday party at a pool is always a blast. You can make the event as loose or structured as you please.

However, whether in your back yard or neighborhood pool, local waterpark or lake, there are three key things to remember to ensure a fun, safe party.

Heather Lapham Kuhn is the owner of L’Evento Boutique, an event resource boutique in the Carmel Arts & Design District that provides party or event planning advice and resources. This column is her first monthly column for the Carmel Community Newsletter where she will field and answer questions centered around your event planning dilemmas.

towni.es

First, any time you are dealing with other people’s children, it is a good idea to have a signed medical treatment consent form on hand for each attendee.

However, this becomes imperative when the party is taking place around water. Should the worst happen and one of your young guests requires medical attention, you don’t want to waste precious minutes trying to reach her parents. Medical treatment consent forms can easily be found online. Use a general form as is, or customize it to your particular situation.

Next, if your pool has a deep end, or if any of the activities you plan will require a certain level of swimming ability, it is a good idea to know what

level of swimmer each of your guests is. While it might usually be a safe assumption that most children by that age would be competent swimmers, that is not always the case. Make sure life vests are available for any lessexperienced swimmers as needed, and make sure they get used. Your party – your rules.

Finally, make sure you have plenty of responsible adults or teenagers on hand to supervise the fun. This could be as simple as inviting the guests’ parents to come along and stay; but if the parents are all friends, you may find it hard to keep everyone’s focus on supervising the children. Consider hiring a couple off-duty lifeguards from a local pool or park to work your party.

The investment will grant you and the other parents significant peace of mind, as well as the freedom to attend to other party details.

If you take care of the details ahead of time, a pool party can be one of the easiest to host, and the most fun for the kids. Enjoy – and don’t forget the sunscreen!

Carmel and PGA Players Welcome Tiger Woods with Open Arms Maybe you could call it the Resurgence of Tiger Woods. “The last couple years the general rule of thumb was that we wanted him not only to come back, but once again to be at his best,” said Justin Rose, the defending champion of the BMW Championship, the third leg of the PGA Tour FedEx Cup championship that will be played at Crooked Stick Golf Club September 3-9. Regardless of the circumstances, the PGA Tour and its playing members have welcomed him back with open arms, so to speak. And it stands to reason that the crowds at Crooked Stick Golf Club will be big – likely huge – as the field of 70 visits the highly-praised Carmel championship venue.

It will be the first visit at an Indiana PGA Tour venue for Tiger Woods, who became the first three-time winner on the PGA Tour this season, winning the AT&T National at Congressional Golf Club on July 1. Crooked Stick may present a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see the 36-year-old phenom compete in person, providing an up-close-andpersonal experience…something like we saw at the PGA Championship in 1991, when Arnold Palmer strolled the lush Crooked Stick fairways for the first – and last – time.

And the crowds should swell. It’s not unusual for 20,000 diehard golf and Tiger Woods fans to follow him.

Defending BMW Champion Justin Rose talks at Crooked Stick Golf Club about He’s to golf as many other sports the resurgence of Tiger Woods. stars have been to their respective sports (Babe Ruth and Hank Aaron to Story by Mark Morrow - Photos by Shawn Barney baseball, Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant to basketball, Tiger Woods is good for the game of golf.

Pete Sampras and Jimmy Connors to tennis, Pele and David Beckham to soccer, and Joe Louis and Muhammad Ali to OK, so that’s not exactly a news flash. But after a couple boxing). years of coping with personal problems and reinventing his swing through a new swing doctor, the winner of 14 major golf championships has, so far, made major strides in his comeback in 2012. Even if it is in his second career on the PGA Tour, as some contend.

“Tiger’s appearances are important to the Tour,” said Rose, “and when he plays well, it gives the game a major boost.

Tiger is a marquee player….and really a major attraction.

When he plays and plays well, there’s no question that his

n e w s l e tt e r | A U G U S T 2 0 1 2

presence helps all of us on the PGA Tour – helps us while creating even more interest in the game and, of course, helps us all financially.”

So, in other words, the Tour and the PGA players want him to play well?

Rose said. “We feel like we can give him a good run when we’re at our best. But, hey, when he’s on his game, he’s as good as it gets. And we all know that. He’s been a special player and he can be a special player once again. I can tell you this for sure that no one on the PGA Tour ever wrote him off, and he’s proving he still has plenty of game.”

“Obviously, yes,” Rose said with a slight grin while hitting balls during Media Day for the upcoming FedEx event.

Then he paused, smiled, and joked. ”It’s one of those things, you know: Be careful what you wish for. He’s still Tiger Woods. He’s still got plenty of game, and he’s already won a few times this season.”

Yeah, there’s only one Tiger Woods…charismatic, a crowd player, creator of great and memorable shots, oftimes emotional when he does great things that produce victories, and noticeably dejected after lesser performances.

Rose says one thing that makes Tiger Woods so special is that he’s willing to throw it all on the line in order to win and even just to have a chance to win.

“At times it sounds like a broken record when he says he’s here to win. But that really is his mindset – whether it’s a major or any golf tournament,” Rose added. “He’ll gamble with shots some others might not. When you want to win as badly as he does, he’s not worried whether he finishes second or fifth. It’s not about the paycheck like it is for some players out here (on the Tour).”

Rose said golf has gotten better over the past couple years. “And now that it’s not as one-sided as it once was when Tiger was winning with such regularity, it’s still even better now that Tiger is back and doing well,” Rose said. Woods won Arnie’s tournament at Bay Hill and Jack’s tournament at The Memorial, matching Nicklaus in victories with 73 for second place all time behind Sam Snead’s 82. He moved into sole possession of second place in all-time victories at Congressional.

“I think the interest now is about how Tiger stacks up against Jack for majors.

There’s a great deal of interest among so many people,” Rose said. “He can be so dominant when he’s at his best; and as a player, you want to beat Tiger down the stretch when he’s at his best.”

Still, he’s not the bully he once was… once was for about 11 years, that is. “He can be beaten. He’s been beaten, and all of us know he can be beaten again,”

fact for two years there were some distractors who were saying he would never win again. “Tiger has shown glimpses of his greatest this season,” Rose said. “On several occasions, though, he has not been as consistent as he once was. That’s where his vulnerability comes in to play. Even when he’s been off his game, most times he would say he’s close….that he’s getting closer.”

Woods has gone through another caddie, a new teacher, another swing change, and those personal problems – which include a divorce. Not only do many contend that he’s beginning his second career on the PGA Tour in 2012, but some commentators have gone so far as to say he could really be baaaack once he gets in a rhythm and hits his stride.

He may be baaaack in the FedEx Cup championship, too. He won the first FedEx championship in 2007 and then again in 2009. And, of course, he’s already won more times than he has in the past two seasons.

He moved into first place in PGA Tour FedEx Cup standings for the first time since 2009, building a 102-point lead with that third victory. That also vaulted him atop the PGA Tour money earnings with over $4 million. With his next win, Tiger will take the PGA Tour earnings through the $100 million mark.

He has been ranked as high as No. 3 in the world this season. He was ranked No. 4 heading into the British Open, the third of golf’s four majors.

Carmel Mayor Brainard, Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels and Justin Rose pose on the first tee on media day.

Nicklaus’ 18. Pretty impressive. Wow! And Tiger has accomplished such a feat 10 years earlier than did Jack Nicklaus, the man Tiger has admired since he was a kid.

So, is he back…really baaaack? Well, look where he was in 2011, ranking No. 114 in the world at one time.

And look where he is now. Is he back, really baaaack?

Do the math.

Celebrity Waiter Night at Ruth’s Chris

By Pat Carlini The stars were out in full force at Ruth’s Chris steak house northside June 25 for Gary Brackett’s celebrity waiter night!

The former Colts player and several friends in the world of sports donned aprons and served steak dinners to guests who paid $250 a plate to help raise money for Brackett’s Impact Foundation.

“It’s a little crazy,” laughed Brackett as he secured an apron over his shirt and tie. “I know there may be some burned fingers, but there is nothing like raising money with good company and great steak!”

Brackett, who no longer is with the Colts, is not sure where he will be next. He says he is leaving his options open and wants to do what’s best for his family.

In the meantime, he continues his work with the Impact foundation. Brackett started the foundation in 2006 to provide resources and opportunities to underprivileged kids.

Overall, the night went off without a hitch, although there was a lot of ducking under doorways (Indiana Pacer Roy Hibbert), chit chat while serving (WTHR sports director and Carmel resident Dave Calabro), and signing autographs with Pacer Coach Frank Vogel and Butler Basketball Coach Brad Stevens.

The Godfather of Disc Golf:

Dennis Byrne

By Tom Britt Perhaps one of the nation’s fastest growing sports has roots in Indiana, and the godfather of it all is a local retiree that is the sport’s biggest evangelist..

Dennis Byrne, a former aerospace and marine manufacturing engineer, took an early retirement two and a half years ago to pursue his true love: Disc golf or frisbee golf as it is often times called.

“I’ve pretty much designed and installed every disc golf course in Hamilton County,” said Byrne.

A pioneer in the disc golf industry, Byrne started playing in 1983 while he was in the Air Force. Using fire hydrants, signs, trees, or other outdoor items as targets, Byrne and his friends would go out and throw frisbees on a makeshift course near Sacramento, California. They discovered a course in Shady Oaks that had targets with baskets, the first of its kind in the United States, so Byrne started getting more serious about the sport and invested in some discs.

In 1989, Byrne started playing on the professional disc golf circuit and became the executive director of the PDGA

(Professional Disc Golf Association) in 1993 and 1994.

After his stint leading the PDGA, Byrne stayed active in the sport but decided to get back into the workforce and start promoting his passion in other ways. Nowadays, he runs a small consulting business out of a 20’ x 20’ “mancave” in his backyard in Fishers designing and installing disc golf courses all over the country. His most recent project, a 9-hole recreational disc golf course at Lawrence W. Inlow Park in Carmel, will be the city’s first public disc golf course.

According to Mark Westermeier, Director of Carmel Clay Parks, disc golf courses are a great compliment to the public park offering.

“They have a low impact on the terrain, require little additional maintenance costs, and most importantly they get people outside in our parks,” said Westermeier.

National appeal for disc golf has grown substantially over the last decade. The first permanent basket course ever installed in the United States was at Oak Grove Park in Pasadena, California in 1975. In 2000, there were 1,000 disc golf courses worldwide. Today, there are 4,200 courses

Carmel’s first disc golf recreational course is scheduled to open this month at Lawrence W. Inlow Park (131st and Hazel Dell Parkway). The 9-hole course features five holes the city hopes will pass ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) standards for accessible design and four holes which are played in the wooded area (shown here on the left). Cost of admission and to play is free. august 2012 |

A local disc thrower named Andrew wants to be one of the first to play the new disc golf course at Lawrence W. Inlow Park. (Opposite page) Avid disc golf players carry up to 20 different discs with them in their bag. and approximately 300 new courses being built every year.

As a result, local courses are seeing more activity and tournaments are becoming more popular.

Recently, the Indiana High School state championships were held at Northview Church in Carmel and Dr. James A. Dillon Park in Noblesville. Thirty-one high school participants from 8 schools competed in the third annual tournament, started two years ago by Byrne. Westfield won the team competition which did not sit well with Chris Metken, a Carmel High School senior team member from last year’s winning team.

“I didn’t have enough time to practice this summer,” said Metken who has been working this summer for the Chicago Cubs during home stands. “We were pretty disappointed, but we have one more year to compete so we’ll be shooting for next year.”

Byrne started the state tournament to build some enthusiasm for the sport with younger players. He believes that if kids play disc golf in high school they will play it the rest of their 22

carmel c o m m u n i t y

lives. Mike Jenneman, a Carmel-based graphic designer and photographer, couldn’t agree more. Jenneman began throwing a frisbee in 1979 while he lived in West Lafayette, spending his summers in the Lafayette Parks program. His talent for doing frisbee tricks and throwing for accuracy earned him a trip to the Junior Frisbee Championships in Orlando where he first played disc golf.

“I could do all kinds of tricks, but I had never played disc golf until that tournament,” Jenneman recalled. “I had three weeks to take a crash course in disc golf and I was hooked.”

Today, Jenneman plays in several disc golf leagues, tournaments, and even brings his discs along on vacations to play courses around the country. He is currently preparing for the Tim Selinske U.S. Masters Championships in Louisville August 31 through September 2.

According to Byrne, the attraction to the sport is two-fold: Money and time.

“Besides it just being fun, you can play any course practically for free. Unless you are attending a park that charges a gate fee, there is no cost to play disc golf. You can also play 18 holes in about an hour, so you don’t need a lot of time to sneak in a round or two of disc golf.”

According to Helen Metken, an FC Tucker & Co. realtor in

n e w s l e tt e r | A U G U S T 2 0 1 2

Carmel and mother of Chris Metken, disc golf has some added family-friendly advantages.

“It’s fun to go out as a family and play,” she added. “There’s not too many sports you can play with your kids that’s close to home and free.”

As for equipment, discs are relatively inexpensive compared to their golf counterparts.

Depending on which brand you decide on, costs average $9-$15 per disc. Jenneman recommends starting on smaller, less challenging courses with two discs: Putter/midrange disc and a driver. As you become more skilled, disc golf players will carry 15 to 20 discs with them on a course.

“If you go down to Basket Case in the Libertyville Flea Market, the owners are big disc golf players and they can point you in the right direction.

You can also pick up some discs from Hamilton Disc Golf Union member Matt Boals at Dillon Park in Noblesville. He announces on the club’s Facebook page dates and times he will be there selling from his pickup truck.”

Cost is also an attraction for the host parks. The cost of disc golf courses is relatively low compared to other park infrastructure projects. According to Westermeier, a

playground investment can cost around $750,000 to install whereas a disc golf course may only cost $20,000.

“They are a good bang for the buck and relatively easy to maintain.”

On the horizon in Carmel, Westermeier hopes to build a competitive pro level course at 106th and Hazel Dell. If approved, the course would be designed to accommodate National Professional or Amateur Championships right here

“It’s the fastest growing sport in the country and demand is increasing,” said Jenneman. “Having a facility like this in Carmel would be a huge benefit to the area.”

Byrne recommends visiting local disc parks and playing with more experienced players to learn the sport. There are also several local disc golf clubs and parks, all available through the PDGA website (www.PDGA.org).

Ice Cream Social Political Rally August 12

By Stephanie Carlson Curtis Step back in time for a taste of tradition – back to a time when there was no such thing as a high-tech political campaign – before websites, Twitter, Facebook, television, new media and expensive advertising strategies.

Candidates for office had to get their message to voters by stumping door-todoor, delivering soapbox speeches and organizing political rallies in order to draw a crowd. In this election year, the Carmel Clay Historical Society invites citizens to participate in an authentic old-fashioned ice cream social and political rally on Sunday, August 12 from 1:30 to 3:30pm on the grounds of the Monon Depot Museum, 211 First St. SW along the Monon Trail in Carmel’s Arts and Design District.

“Since 2012 is such an important election year, we thought it was important for the Carmel Clay Historical Society to participate in the political process,” said Matthew (Left) Jim Garretson and Matthew Snyder - even organizers and CCHS Board Members decorate the Monon Depot Museum for the Old-fashioned political rally to be held on August 12.

(Opposite page) President Theodore Roosevelt addresses a crowd in Noblesville’s downtown, near the courthouse square 26

carmel c o m m u n i t y

n e w s l e tt e r | A U G U S T 2 0 1 2

Snyder, member of the CCHS board and secretary on the Clay Township Board. “This rally will be fun for the entire family and an opportunity to join in making history with some of our local political candidates.”

Indeed, he did that in Noblesville where the railroad track runs next to the courthouse,” said Garretson. “Charles Fairbanks, an Indianapolis resident, was Teddy Roosevelt’s vice president from 1905 to 1909.” Adding to the political history of our county, township and city, Carmel presently serves as the official home of Governor Mitch Daniels and Senator Dan Coats.

Sponsored by Bub’s Burgers and Ice Cream, Matt Frey and his staff will scoop up free ice cream while politicians meet and greet their prospective constituents. Democratic candidate for Lieutenant Governor, Vi Simpson and Susan Brooks, the Republican candidate for the fifth congressional district will address the crowd, discuss the issues and answer questions that afternoon.

The CCHS event is free of charge and will emulate those festive traditions of bygone eras. As Brooks and Simpson campaign and share their views on the concerns facing citizens, they will revive the red, white and blue spirit of an old-fashioned political rally. Attendees are asked to bring their own chairs.

According to Jim Garretson, CCHS vice president and program chair, most people are familiar with the Lincoln/ Douglas debates of 1858. But political rallies have been a part of American heritage for well over a century.

“There were torch light parades during the Andrew Jackson campaigns. Teddy Roosevelt was the first to take train rides through the nation and hold rallies from the rear of the train.
