OFFERING A WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM THAT’S GOOD FOR LIFE Writer / Neil Lucas

Recently, Dr. Christy Kirkendol–Watson, a lifelong Zionsville resident, along with her team of weight-loss specialists, opened the Live Light Clinic on North Michigan Road in Zionsville. The staff consists of Dr. Christy, Dina Palmer, a Certified Physician Assistant, and Lorie Blythe, a clinical nurse specialist. Combined they offer over 10 years of experience in obesity and weight loss. Kirkendol-Watson, who is board certified in Internal Medicine and has practiced many years in the Zionsville area, has always kept a professional curiosity about weight loss. For years she would see people who struggled with their weight. At the same time others could seemingly eat anything, anytime, in any amount, and continue to be trim and fit. There had to be more to understanding weight control than traditional medical training was providing.

Lorie Blythe, Dina Palmer and Dr. Christy Kirkendol-Watson

The medical teaching about it was no different than common thought; obesity was caused simply by laziness or continually eating massive amounts of junk food. After hearing a lecture prepared by the American Society of Bariatric Physicians that presented weight loss from a medical and scientific standpoint, her suspicions as to the complexity and causes of obesity were confirmed.

At the Live Light Clinic, weight issues are treated as a medical condition, much as other medical specialists treat diabetes, asthma or high blood pressure. Since hearing that lecture, Kirkendol-Watson went on to become board certified by the American Board of Obesity Medicine. Moreover, she has been working for the past two years developing and implementing a highly successful non-surgical weight-loss program for a major Indianapolis healthcare facility. For Kirkendol-Watson, the creation of the Live Light Clinic is a natural progression of her life’s work as a physician. Dr. Christy sees weight loss as the most challenging and the most rewarding area of practice she has ever experienced. “Weight loss can be transformational for patients and

their families in so many ways,” KirkendolWatson says. “We are truly able to change people’s lives by reversing many diseases caused by obesity—not just treat the disorder.” At your first appointment at the Live Light Clinic, Dr. Christy will sit down with you and talk about your medical history, your medications, run a panel of lab tests, and then have your body composition analyzed. From the initial visit, a specialized low-calorie diet plan that is developed personally for you will be provided. However, your treatment does not end there. Follow-up visits are scheduled to monitor your progress and to ensure that the program works for you. You will see Dr. Christy or her PA at each and every visit. Patients on the program, on average, can expect to lose 10 percent of their body weight in three months.

One of the great things about enlisting the help of a medical professional, specially trained in weight loss, is that they can work directly with your current physician to make recommendations regarding medications that may be negatively affecting your ability to manage your weight. Kirkendol-Watson understands that obesity and weight-loss issues cross all economic levels. As a result, she is determined to make the services provided by the Live Light Clinic affordable. The initial visit costs $95 (excluding any lab or product costs). If you suffer from asthma or diabetes, you would never think of treating it on your own. So it’s time to stop trying the latest weight loss fad sweeping through Hollywood. Have the trained professionals at Live Light Clinic treat your weight as a medical condition that deserves the attention of a specialist.

new home in Zionsville and are eager to become engaged in the local communities that St.Vincent Health proudly serves.]

[Editor’s note: We are proud to have been given the opportunity to introduce to the community Jonathan Nalli, St.Vincent Health’s new CEO, and his family. Moreover, we would like to express our heartfelt thanks to St.Vincent Health and Jonathan and his family for making themselves available for this interview. At the age of 39, Jonathan impressively sits at the helm of this 22-hospital system, one of Indiana’s largest, serving Central and Southern Indiana. He and his wife, Cathleen, and their young children, Jonathan, Delaney and their latest addition, adopted newborn daughter Hadley, are acclimating to their

Jonathan Nalli very recently relocated his family to Zionsville after accepting the position as CEO of St.Vincent Health in February of 2014. Jonathan has accomplished a great deal within the health care industry, even though he is only 39 years old. St.Vincent Health is a 22-hospital system that serves Central and Southern Indiana. This faith-based healthcare provider specializes in quality care in a number of service areas, including cardiovascular, women’s health, pediatrics, neurosciences, cancer care, bariatrics, orthopedics and trauma.

8/26/14 5:22 PM

Jonathan served as the CEO of Porter Health System, a Community Health Systems affiliate in Valparaiso, Indiana, prior to accepting his current role with St.Vincent Health. The Porter Health System, during Jonathan’s watch as CEO, experienced the construction of a 238-bed replacement regional hospital, generated a net revenue of $310 million, developed a multi-specialty physician group of primary care and surgical providers, and was recognized by the Northwest Indiana Business Quarterly as a Best Place to Work from 2011-2013. Jonathan, originally from Kentucky, earned his Bachelor of Health Sciences in Health Administration from the University of Kentucky and his MBA from Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA. Jonathan became COO of Chestnut Hill Health System in Philadelphia and then went on to be the COO of Pottstown Memorial Medical Center in Pottstown, PA. It was in Pennsylvania that he would meet his partner in life and mother to his children, Cathleen. Originally from north central Pennsylvania, Cathleen would leave her family and childhood home and accompany Jonathan on an exciting journey that would lead them to Valparaiso and now Zionsville. Jonathan recalled the fateful night he told his fiancée that he had been given an assignment in Indiana. “We were engaged on January 13, 2007, and were in the preparation stages for our wedding in November,” Jonathan said. “I came home from a board meeting one evening and told Cathleen that they wanted me to go oversee a hospital in Indiana for four weeks. She looked at me and asked, ‘What if they offer you the job?’ and I told her they wouldn’t. It [the job] is too big, and I’m too young. She turned around in a knowing and flippant manner and as she walked away, said, ‘Just be home in time for the wedding.’” “On our way to Cathleen’s sister’s wedding that September, she asked me if they had found somebody for my job,” Jonathan said. “I replied, ‘Well, they’ve offered it to me again.’ She asked, ‘what do you mean, again?’” Jonathan reluctantly came clean and admitted at that point that they had twice presented him with an offer for the position of CEO. “Cathleen turned to me and said, ‘You know, we’ll regret this in 10 years if we don’t do it.’ So, it was actually Cathleen who motivated me to accept the position. It was at that point in time that I recognized the selflessness of this person who was going

to be my spouse and what she was willing to sacrifice to make us successful. It is something that I don’t ever forget.” Jonathan and Cathleen quickly became rooted in their new community. Together they served as co-chairs for the 2011/2012 United Way campaign in Porter County. Jonathan was with Community Health Systems for 15-plus years before accepting his current position with St.Vincent Health. Jonathan’s predecessor, Vincent Caponi, said this about Jonathan: “As a proven healthcare executive with vast experience in growth management strategies,

improvement plans and demonstrable results in achieving business objectives, we look forward to Jonathan leading the transformation of our business and building on the successes of our ministry.” Jonathan spoke about the current status of the health care industry and his overall vision for St.Vincent Health. “When you look at health care today, I honestly believe we haven’t seen as turbulent an industry since the discussion surrounding the beginning of Medicare in the mid-‘60s,” he explained. “For health care systems to survive, they have to strategize differently. They’ve got to align their resources to be as nimble and proactive as possible. They’ve got to align to achieve the efficiencies necessary to bring about a great health care outcome. We have made the decision to focus on our second phase. The first phase was under Vince Caponi,

8/26/14 5:22 PM

“I believe you have to work hard for what you do and you support and love each other. If you do those two things, everything else will fall into place and that’s the biggest thing for us. No matter what is happening in our lives, as long as we are together, we can be anywhere.” a phenomenal man whose career and tenure was spent growing the ministry from 2 to 22 hospitals. Now the second phase of the strategy is focused on how we will align those 22. You hear a lot within and outside of St.Vincent this idea of ‘One St.Vincent.’ We are a statewide system, a statewide ministry aligning all of our resources appropriately. We base that on what we call QEP [quality, experience and performance] and those service outcomes related to it. We put together the latest evidence of how we should be practicing medicine, align those in every ministry and cascade where they need to be.” Jonathan identifies the discipline and structure he learned while employed by Community Health Systems as the key assets he brings to St.Vincent Health. “If you look at the roots of St.Vincent, we are greater than 133 years old. Our roots are based on care for the poor, vulnerable and marginalized. We do that through ‘One St.Vincent,’ which is a statewide network, and we do that through clinical integration. These together allow us to weather this turbulent market we’re in as a health care industry and not just survive but actually move toward strong viability and nimbleness.” While understandably proud of her husband, Cathleen weighed in as the spouse of a young and successful CEO and the growth she has witnessed in Jonathan. “The transformation I’ve seen from a personal side, watching him grow into this leader, is simply amazing,” she said. “He is so young, which is a blessing and a curse because he is so young to be doing what he’s doing. I don’t think people realize what his position

entails. It is a huge undertaking, especially because of where we are in our personal lives with two small children, an adoption, a move and a new house. It’s been a lot. It’s been like this since I met him; it’s a roller coaster but it’s been a great ride.” When they first met, Jonathan sent an email in which he discussed himself and what he did for a profession. Cathleen, a former schoolteacher, thought he was a hospital cook after his sentence was missing critical punctuation. He wrote that he was a “coo for a hospital” instead of COO. Cathleen laughingly admitted to her mistaken assumption. “I did, and I thought if that man can cook for a hospital, he can cook for me!” Cathleen is passionate about volunteering and being hands-on in the community. She has served in the Tri Kappa Sorority chapter in Valparaiso as well as in the United Way. She looks forward to joining local organizations and getting involved with the local community. When asked what the secret to having a successful family life is and balancing one spouse’s high-level executive role with the role of parent and spouse, she replied thoughtfully, “I believe you have to work hard for what you do and you support and love each other. If you do those two things, everything else will fall into place, and that’s the biggest thing for us. No matter what is happening in our lives, as long as we are together, we can be anywhere. We love this area, and it has so much opportunity for us and for our family, but it wouldn’t have to be this wonderful for us to be happy. Together, as a family, we would make it wonderful anywhere.”

Jonathan concludes his sentiments on his family’s new position and roles in the communities they serve. “We want to be advocates of good health outcomes and good health statuses and would love to be viewed in that light. We want to contribute to our communities. We engage in a community for a lot of reasons and want to continue to engage Boone and Hamilton counties in hopes that we can continue to increase and expand the health status of the communities.”

Q & A WITH JONATHAN AND CATHLEEN NALLI WHERE ARE SOME OF YOUR FAVORITE PLACES TO GO WITH CATHLEEN AND YOUR FAMILY?

“Prior to moving to Zionsville, we lived at City Center in Carmel. The City Center was the center of our universe for two months and allowed us to get out of our apartment with our crazies [kids], and it was wonderful. In Zionsville, we have become fond of the local restaurants like Patrick’s Kitchen and Noah Grant’s. We enjoy going to Lions Park and Scoop’s. The first place we went in Zionsville that we fell in love with was the Dairy Queen. We went for Dilly Bars at 8:45 p.m., and that was a blast.”

WHAT OR WHO INSPIRED YOU TO CHOOSE THIS CAREER?

“Having attended school before the Internet, we had a ‘career box’ in high school. In my 10th grade English class, I selected hospital administrator, and it all started from there. I have a cousin who is one of the administrators of the Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia, and though he was not the inspiration

Clearly not a random affiliation with the Broncos, it leads to the question of how involved is Peyton Manning with the St.Vincent Children’s Hospital since his move to Colorado? “Peyton remains connected to our children’s hospital to this day. The work he does when he’s back in town and his dedication to call patients every week is remarkable. With that we are loyal Bronco fans. When you think about a namesake to a children’s hospital, for all of the deep-rooted reasons, that man’s it.”

behind my career choice, he was the element that stoked the fire and my exposure to what it was and what it meant to be in the industry.”

HOW DOES INDIANA’S OVERALL HEALTH CARE SYSTEM COMPARE TO OTHER STATES? “We have a ways to go. It’s tough to really say there is a state

that is phenomenal in health care. We all have our own different challenges. I look at how progressive Indiana is in terms of that market sector, and I think of Indiana as a progressive state in terms of thought processes. For example, with what we’re seeing with HIP 2.0 [Healthy Indiana Plan], this is going to allow the state of Indiana to flourish. With the expansion of HIP and to use that as our Medicaid expansion product, the health system has all rallied behind it, as they see this as an incredible opportunity.”

WHAT MAKES ST.VINCENT HEALTH DIFFERENT FROM OTHER NETWORKS?

Ready to stop worrying about your weight?

“We have such a connection with the Daughters of Charity, and while everyone within the organization respects each other’s faith base, it is the founding faith-based element that is out in front of what our roots are. This faith-based element is, literally, the basis behind everything. Our culture is our mission. Our mission is to care for the poor, the vulnerable and marginalized.”

“We just want to be together and relax because we don’t get to do that very much. We love sitting down and reading stories together. He loves to take the kids shopping at the grocery store and to their soccer games. He loves to spend one-on-one time with our son and also with our daughters. That time is special to him.”

When you “THINK SNOW!” you should conjure up images of the Indianapolis Ski Club. While Indianapolis may not be synonymous with snow skiing, there is a group of nearly 300 snow enthusiasts who are members of the Indianapolis ski club. The club has been in existence for almost 60 years and still promotes friendships and great ski trips! Club President Lisa Sindelar said that is exactly what the club is all about—making friends and skiing great mountains. “The bonus is the hassle free travel that comes The US trips start at a little more than $1,300 per member – more for European trips. Trips are for members only, but it’s easy to join and with being a club member,” Sindelar said. the club always welcomes new members! Sindelar said trips are planned with almost everything included, For more information, go to Indyskiclub.org. from lift tickets to transportation to lodging. “It’s just a great way to enjoy a ski trip,” Sinedelar said. Lisa joined the club in 2002 after talking to a club member in the winter sports section of Galyans.

Pat Carlini is an experienced television/radio personality associated with NBC in Indianapolis and the syndicated Bob & Tom Show. She can be contacted at patcarlini.com.

“I didn’t know there was a ski club in Indy,” Sinedelar said. “I went home, looked up the website, attended a social event and joined!” Lisa has since married a club member and has enjoyed several trips with the club. Fellow skier and Lawrence resident Joan Naffziger has been a member of the club since 1992 and has been a volunteer “go-to” person on several trips. “It’s so much fun traveling with a group of fellow skiers and friends.” Naffziger said, “It makes it much more bearable when you get stuck in a blizzard in Minneapolis, too!” This year the Indianapolis Ski Club has six trips planned for the upcoming season in the western United States and Europe. In January, they kick off their line up of trips at Banff in Alberta, Canada. Trips to SteamBoat, Winter Park and Beaver Creek in Colorado are scheduled in February. Also a European trip is planned to Cortina, Italy, and Madonna di Campiglio, a popular ski resort in Northeast Italy, scheduled for March 2015. The group’s final trip of the season offered is Big Sky Montana— a favorite by many—in March. TownePost.com / SEPTEMBER 2014 / TOWNEPOST MEDIA NETWORK

Dr. Steven Levine

Dr. Steven Levine is pleased to announce Midwest Pain & Spine has added Dr. Kent B. Remley to its team of physicians dedicated to providing the highest quality non-invasive diagnosis and treatments for chronic back and spine pain sufferers. Dr. Remley joins Levine and Dr. William Hall at Midwest Pain & Spine.

Dr. Remley, a graduate of IU School of Medicine, is an Interventional Neuroradiologist specializing in minimally invasive spine surgery as well as diagnostic and therapeutic injection procedures of the head, neck and spine. Prior to practicing in Atlanta and Indianapolis he served as an assistant professor of Radiology and

Otolaryngology and director of ENT/ Head and Neck Imaging at the University Of Minnesota and was a clinical instructor in Neuroradiology at the University of California, San Francisco. Dr. Remleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s area of special expertise and research focuses on the treatment of osteoporotic spinal fractures utilizing minimally invasive surgical techniques.

As many of you may know, this occurs especially in women following menopause, but can also arise with men. In addition, Dr. Remley is a well-published writer and lectures nationally in the fields of minimally invasive spine surgery and interventional neuroradiology.

DESTINATION ARTS AND DESIGN DISTRICT Writer / Janelle Morrison Photographer / JJ Kaplan

You don’t have to look hard to find something unique and entertaining to do that is local and affordable. With a full calendar of events and festivals, free parking and myriad shops, galleries and restaurants to patronize, the Arts & Design District in downtown Carmel, Indiana, is the destination for food and fun. The City of Carmel, the City Council, local businesses and residents work collaboratively to ensure that guests of the city, specifically of the Arts and Design District, have an enjoyable experience with each and every visit. Simply put, this is the place to be. In that spirit, to increase the exposure and tourism arm of the district, the businesses and restaurants know they have to give people a reason to come and a reason to return. The annual festivals bring in several of the locals in addition to guests from the surrounding counties and all over the state.

Mayor Jim Brainard, City of Carmel

Brenda Myers, Executive Director at Hamilton County Convention and Visitors Bureau

Rosemary Waters, president of the Carmel International Arts Festival, has been on the festival’s committee for 17 years, serving as president for nine of those years. She has seen many positive changes in the way of support from local businesses, specifically regarding her festival that draws in more than 30,000 people over the last weekend of September. “The Carmel International Arts Festival (CIAF) was originally held at Providence, off of Old Meridian,” Rosemary explained. The CIAF moved to the Arts & Design District approximately six years ago and has seen tremendous increases in participation and attendance. “I believe that the festival’s first couple of years in the A&DD wasn’t as popular with the businesses, but the skeptics have become our biggest cheerleaders and advocates. They are taking advantage of the marketing opportunities and the scores of people the festival brings to our streets. The CIAF has been a very positive event that benefits everyone who wants to participate and engage during that weekend.”

International Arts Festival

The City of Carmel, the City Council and the city’s departments, which include public safety, have been notably supportive of the festivals and events. “The more positive energy we put into the city, the better it will become,” Rosemary said. “The word has gotten out that we are a ‘Class A’ juried festival and that we have talented artists and international entertainment that exposes festivalgoers to a truly international experience. We have the ideal infrastructure

All of these things together make it fun for people to see a show, use the trails, shop our stores and stay 2-3 days and enjoy Carmel.” One of the merchants located in the heart of the A&DD is The Olive Mill, managed by Steve Hannah.

“We’re fairly new here. We’re going on a year and a half at this location, but we’ve been here for all of the different festivals,” Steve said. “Our previous experiences at our stores in Saugatuck, Michigan, and Geneva, Illinois, are that these areas are very much like Carmel and host a lot of events. We came with a bit of perspective. All of the festivals that bring people into the area are quite fabulous for us. We do look at it from a long-term perspective. It may be there are some events that on that day, the people we see coming in may not be spending a lot of money. It may be that our numbers reflect it’s a fabulous day to have all of these people in town. I do believe that our numbers in the future are going to increase because of growing awareness that we’re here.” “Last year, during the Carmel International Arts Festival and Artomobilia, we had a great day both financially and in terms of the exposure. We’ve seen a real positive effect from all of the different events in town. People who didn’t know we existed do now. The events set up an environment that is unique and creates a fun place to be. That always brings in more people. Like our shop, it’s about an experience and the fact that you can come in and sample the products we have, take your time and feel good when you leave. The same can be said when our residents and guests visit the Arts & Design District.” For a calendar of events, visit carmelartsanddesign.com.

UNIVERSITY HIGH SCHOOL

EARNING A BADGE IN MERIT SCHOLARSHIPS Writer / Janelle Morrison

Almost 15 years since University High School first opened its doors in August of 2000, I am still in awe as I walk through the halls of this impeccable non-sectarian college preparatory school located in Carmel, Indiana. The walls are lined with staff and student achievements, among a variety of other awards in the field of education. UHS has continued to maintain its standards for a structured and personalized high school education over the years, and its reputation for producing well-developed students has garnered the respect of universities across the nation. James ( Jim) P. Fadely, PhD, Director of College Counseling, proudly shared with me that University High School was awarded an impressive $11,274,792 in merit scholarships, the highest amount awarded to any independent college preparatory high school in Indiana and out-performing local area public high schools.

Jim, one of six founding staff members, has been with UHS since the launch of the school in August of 2000. He left St. Richard’s Episcopal School as their director of admissions and came on board UHS as the director of college counseling and director of marketing and public relations. He was also tasked with developing the history program for the school as his graduate work is in U.S. History. As enrollment at UHS grew, his focus transitioned to strictly facilitating the college counseling program, and now he is “all college, all day, every day.” “We did our due diligence in the beginning and looked at best practices in college counseling among independent schools around the country,” Jim explained. “What we noticed was that even in private, independent college prep schools, people often didn’t begin to talk about college until midway through the

student’s junior year. We also found that there wasn’t a more consistent sequence process, which is key to the success our students have had in the college placement front. We noticed that even though independent schools are typically smaller, there wasn’t a personalization that you would expect relative to tuitions. Those were the two hallmarks for me to take away about the college counseling program we offer at UHS.” The program at UHS is incredibly comprehensive, and the college counseling starts the first week of the student’s freshman year. It is age appropriate and designed to not pressure the students or parents, but to empower them with information so at the end of their high school career, they thoroughly understand how colleges make admission decisions and have a solid idea of which university is the best fit for them.

“The students can craft their high school journey however they want, but they are informed of the rank, order and criteria and on how the college is going to make their decisions,” Jim said. “That is what’s different about University. A four-year sequential college counseling program and a lot of one-on-one time leads to successful merit scholarships. We approximate that by the time students have graduated, they have had an estimated 40 hours-plus of direct contact with the college counseling office through one-on-one sessions and sessions in conjunction with their parents.” The college program is designed to match students with “good fit” college profile lists so they have a good sense of which college is right for them. UHS has the profile requirements for every college in the U.S. Colleges use a student’s ACT, SAT, GPA, and other benchmarks to measure

the student against the college profiles. Jim and his students develop a college list their sophomore year, and they list colleges that are “reaches, good fits and safeties.” Safeties are schools they know have a strong probability of being admitted to.

receiving over half a million dollars more in 2014.

“The merit scholarship success our students have had is in part due to the amount of guidance in figuring out what the ‘good fit’ schools are for them, along with parental input,” Jim said. “If they are on a ‘good fit’ profile, then the colleges are going to offer merit scholarships as incentive to attract a student from what they know has been a rigorous high school education of more reading and writing and small group interaction.”

“We were happily surprised,” Jim proclaimed. “What we’re always mindful of is that these kids are a product of a four-year education here at UHS and it’s not just this office but all of us together who have a wonderful product to present to the colleges. I think the process we’ve worked out and having the opportunity to break the mold and think new thoughts, over 14 years ago, have given us great opportunities. It speaks volumes about the quality of education this school provides to a student, and we’re very proud of the college counseling program we’ve been able to establish.”

The UHS, senior class of 2013, which consisted of 68 seniors, was awarded $10.7 million in merit scholarship funding and surpassed that high-water mark by

On a more personal note, Jim spoke about what it means to him as a faculty member and mentor. “It has been gratifying, and we do feel it makes a meaningful difference to

our students as we help them move into the next stage of their academic career. There are a lot of variables involved in life, but we are as intentional as we can be in terms of providing a structured sequential process to our students so they are properly prepared on their path to a higher education.” The number of merit scholarships being awarded has increased as recent studies show a concerning decline in college admissions. Jim explained, “Merit scholarships are usually offered with the letter of admission as an incentive for the student. It’s a very competitive process, college to college, and a student rarely has to do anything for a merit scholarship other than apply. It automatically triggers the process internally at the colleges, always on the hunt for good students.” Studies published from sources such as the Chronicle of Higher Education have produced statistics indicating that we are in the third year of a declining number of seniors applying to colleges across the U.S. The demographic for U.S. seniors includes public and private institutions and is a projected decade-long decline. “There are 2,200 colleges charging increasingly higher tuitions and a declining number of seniors,” Jim stated. “For fall 2013, almost 50 percent of U.S. colleges did not meet enrollment goals, and that’s a giant statistic. Colleges are increasingly willing to offer merit money to well-developed students.” Jim concluded, “Now is a very good time to apply to colleges.” For more information on University High School and enrollment, visit universityhighschool.org.

INDIANAPOLIS IS FORTUNATE TO HAVE HER IN OUR COMMUNITY, AND IT IS ALWAYS AN HONOR AND PLEASURE FOR ME TO SERVE WITH HER IN OUR CITY’S NUMEROUS EXTRAORDINARY ENDEAVORS!” — DAVID P. LEWIS, V.P., CHIEF TAX EXECUTIVE AND ASSISTANT TREASURER ELI LILLY AND COMPANY AND MEMBER OF INDY SUPER BOWL BID COMMITTEE. Mayor William Hudnut, Indianapolis was incorporating the sports tourism strategy, and individuals like Sandy Knapp, Jim Morris and Ted Boehm were organizing the city of Indianapolis to move sports organizations to Indiana. By August of 1983, six to seven sports organizations were relocating to Indianapolis. Headhunters went to Colorado Springs to interview young professionals employed by the U.S. Olympic Committee to see if any of them would be interested in moving to Indiana to assist in getting the sports scene established here.

The USA Gymnastics Team was moving from Texas to Indiana, and Allison grabbed the opportunity to work with her favorite sport. “They hired me and I moved to Indiana, having never been to Indiana,” Allison recalled. “This was now my second ‘sight unseen’ move. I showed up in Indianapolis on August 30, 1983, employed by USA Gymnastics. I worked there for 11 years and left as their Assistant Executive Director. I ran all of their national and international competitions for gymnastics and then I took a job with the Indiana Sports Corporation in 1994.” Allison reflected back on her remarkable journey in the sports production industry. “I’ve been very blessed in having worked eight Olympic games, and I am getting ready to work my ninth in Rio de Janeiro,” she said. ‘NBC Sports’ asked me to contract with them so when I first went to work, at ISC, that was part of my deal. NBC wanted me to associate produce the competitions they show on “NBC Sports.” It’s a lot of work but it’s a lot of fun because it is a sport I love.” Allison was back in the

producer’s chair in August for the televising of the US Nationals in gymnastics. As CEO and president of the 2012 Indianapolis Super Bowl Host Committee, Allison and her fellow committee members invested hundreds of hours into the bid process from cradle to grave. She dubbed the process “all consuming.” “It is a remarkable amount of work,” she explained. “The National Football League (NFL) sends you an RFP that is a few hundred pages long. You have to dissect that and prepare your submittal based upon that information. We received the RFP in October, and it was due the first part of that following April.” After hundreds of

meetings and collaborative strategy sessions, Allison and the committee had prepared their response and a presentation for 32 NFL team owners and their respective entourages. It took approximately 75 people with backgrounds from ISC staff, with expertise in different parts of putting these bids together, to individuals representing all of the key stakeholders such as the airport, city, state, Lucas Oil Stadium and the Colts, to put the bid together. Allison’s description of the actual bid presentation makes a corporation’s annual shareholders’ meeting look like a cakewalk. “I had the best partner in the world: Jeff

Saturday,” Allison said. “There are strict rules about the presentation, and after spending eight months on it, you only get 15 minutes to deliver it. Only two people can present in front of the team owners, and it can’t be any political dignitaries or celebrities unless they are directly associated with your bid. Jeff and I presented together, and he was just remarkable. We rehearsed a lot. Surprisingly, I wasn’t that nervous going in because we were very prepared and felt comfortable with what we were presenting. I felt that I had a great team of people and the right folks with me.” During Indianapolis’ first bid process, Allison did not present but instead Fred Glass, Vice President and Director of

Athletics for Indiana University and Tony Dungy, former Indianapolis Colts Head Coach, had the honors. “They did a fantastic job, and it was a great learning experience for me in 2007,” Allison recalled. Before Tony walked in to present that first year, he was feverishly pacing. “I asked him why he was pacing and if he was alright. He replied, ‘I’m really nervous.’ I looked at him and said, ‘You just won the Super Bowl—how can you be nervous?’ He looked at me and explained that these weren’t his ‘peeps.’ ‘I’m a coach,’ Tony said. ‘I speak to the players. This owner thing is making me a little nervous.’ He really did a great job and he came with us to the next presentation to be supportive. He

was a huge help.” Allison paused. “He is an incredible man,” she said thoughtfully. In this last bid presentation, Indianapolis went last after New Orleans and Minneapolis. Before Jeff and Allison walked in, they each took a deep breath and Jeff grabbed Allison’s hand and squeezed it. It was do or die. “We weren’t allowed to hear the other presentations but via social media, we followed the posts and tweets, allowing us to make minor tweaks leading up to the very minute that we walked through the door. Social media made the process so different from 2008. For example, when you were done presenting, they put you back in your holding room, and Roger Goodall would come in and personally tell you if you had won the bid or not. This time, the NFL Network was allowed to be in our holding room, waiting with us. We made sure we were following all of the right people on the various social media channels to stay abreast of what was going on, rather than just sitting in the holding room waiting and listening to our watches tick.” The NFL Network had their cameras fixed strategically on the faces of the committee members and support personnel when the vote was finally announced, conveniently on the NFL Network channel. Out of consideration for the Indiana media corps who had traveled with the committee to cover the story, Allison had asked the NFL the day before if they would be allowed in their holding room along with the NFL Network crew. Fair being fair, she was granted permission to allow Indy’s press to watch along for the final vote. After a disappointing loss to Minneapolis, Allison and Jeff regrouped and addressed the media with dignity and a tremendous sense of pride. “We did everything we could to get the bid,” Allison reflected positively. “We had a great presentation, the best financial package and an excellent RFP submission. We wanted to make sure we had no regrets. I wanted to be able to look at Governor Pence, Mayor Ballard and everyone else who worked on it and say we did everything we could to get it. I have no regrets.”

Allison concluded, “In the end, people make the difference with everything. The volunteers, businesses and all of the things that come together made the Super Bowl and what I do every day possible. People here put the community, the state and the city first and their own agendas second. That is why we can get everything done that we set out to achieve.”

“I’VE BEEN VERY BLESSED IN HAVING WORKED EIGHT OLYMPIC GAMES, AND I AM GETTING READY TO WORK MY NINTH IN RIO DE JANEIRO.”

ON THE SIDELINES WITH ALLISON Will you go for a fourth bid? “We will evaluate that opportunity at some point. The NFL will not give the Midwest two back-to-back Super Bowls. There has to be some time in between them. We’ll keep watch for the right time to strike again. You only want to bid when you think you can win. There’s a lot of time, energy and strategy involved in the whole process.” What other events is ISC working on? “We just confirmed a deal with the Big Ten to bring 14 more events to Indianapolis through 2021. That is a big deal for us. The Big Ten is an important partner. We’ve got six more football championships, so we’ll have the first 11 Big Ten Football Championships, which is excellent for Indianapolis. We’re getting ready to host the Men’s Final Four, the first week of April 2015. We’re heavy into planning for that right now.” What are the benefits to hosting these big events/tournaments in Indiana? “I think everyone looks at ISC as a tourism arm, but we really serve both tourism and the residents. When you break down who attends the events, a lot of them are residents. We look at ourselves as a tourism driver but also as something that enhances the quality of life here. We provide volunteer opportunities for people who want to get involved, and we do a lot of community programming like “Geared for Health,” where we distribute sporting goods equipment all over the state to groups who need it.” 38 / CARMEL COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER / SEPTEMBER 2014 / atCarmel.com

After losing the last bid, do you feel like your efforts and time spent were in vain? “I don’t feel that way at all. Any process that brings together a community from the statehouse, our city government, the Capital Improvement Board and all of the venues and brings collaboration and problem solving is healthy, whether you win or lose.” How do you keep the edge when competing with other states? “I am a very competitive person. It’s a quiet competitiveness but I don’t like losing. I am proud of how we do things here and I don’t want anybody to outshine us. I know we have the best people here, statewide, to do amazing things.” Every year, the Indiana Historical Society (IHS) recognizes Hoosiers for their contributions in Indiana and nationwide at our Living Legends Gala.

Hotel Broad Ripple

6202 Haverford Ave.

en years ago, Sue Zilisch peered out of her Broad Ripple home and thought, “This neighborhood is ripe for a home tour, one that celebrates the history of the community through the stories of its houses.” So—Sue and a small army of friends “accosted” home owners and scheduled the first “Bungalows of Broad Ripple” tour. As researchers conducted interviews and delved into abstracts of titles, city directories and genealogical sites to bring out the stories that were hidden within the walls of the tour homes, the name soon morphed into the Broad Ripple Historic Home Tour. This year’s celebratory event (Saturday, September 27 from 10:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m.) features a home that appeared on the first tour—its claim to fame being that it was a Sears “kit home.” For many years, the Sears Roebuck Company offered floor plans and building materials to prospective home owners. Building components—from lumber to nails—were numbered and shipped to the customer, who either hired a contractor or took on the task himself. Another feature of this year’s tour is the recently opened Broad Ripple Hotel. A late 1880s brick house and an early 20th century bungalow have been tied together to form a charming boutique hotel.

teve Cooke of Noblesville is one of countless Ford Hoosier Outdoor Experience success stories.

The sixth annual event, sponsored by Central Indiana Ford Dealers, is Sept. 20 and 21 at Fort Harrison State Park in Indianapolis, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. both days. Admission is free, as are parking and all activities. Cooke attended the first event in 2009 with the goal of learning about fly-fishing. He took a brief lesson and was hooked. He followed up with professional lessons from Patti Beasley of Reel Women-Reel Men fly club in Indianapolis. He now fishes the White River in Central Indiana for panfish and Brookville Lake’s tailwaters on the Whitewater River in southeastern Indiana for trout.

Although fly-fishing is not part of this year’s event, about 50 other outdoor activities will be offered by some 120 grassroots organizations. All activities take place in the 1,700-acre state park. Activities available will range from archery to mountain biking and more.

Information on trolley routes, a listing of all events and directions to parking areas can be found at HoosierOutdoorExperience. IN.gov. While it’s not required, visitors are encouraged to register at the website before they attend. This helps in planning the event.

Trolleys from the State Fair roll through the grounds, and activities are clustered to make each stop action-packed.

The programming is essentially the same both days. Participants are welcome to come either or both days.

Beat the Fall Rush & Make your Backyard Dreams a Reality

“Fly-fishing is my outlet,” Cooke said. “I like the serenity of being in nature.” Organized by the Department of Natural Resources and Indiana Natural Resources Foundation, this is Indiana’s largest handson outdoor recreation event. Last year a record 32,000 people participated. The idea is to get more Hoosiers interested in outdoor recreation. The concept came about because nationwide participation rates in many traditional outdoor sports have been declining. In Indiana, the number of licensed hunters and anglers has remained relatively stable over the past few decades. This sounds comforting, said Bourke Patton, director of the Indiana Natural Resources Foundation, until you consider that the number hasn’t kept pace with the state’s overall population growth. Conservationists worry that if the trend isn’t reversed, fewer Americans will care about protecting natural resources. “The whole point is to get people to embrace the outdoors,” Patton said. “It’s about taking people who have little outdoor knowledge, or even no outdoor knowledge, and showing them what’s available and how to do it.”

Horseback riding is one of the most popular activities at the Experience, but space is limited. To register for ride times, visit the saddle barn during the event on the day you wish to ride. There will be both a morning and an afternoon sign-up period. The reservation window will open at 10 a.m. to fill the available morning slots and then again at 1:15 p.m. to fill the afternoon slots.

Visitors should expect lines. Cooke plans to attend the 2014 Ford Hoosier Outdoor Experience with his daughters, ages 9 and 5, to see what other outdoor sports are out there. “It’s always on my calendar,” he said. Make sure it’s on yours, too.

The fashion show begins at 7:30 p.m., and features newly created apparel made from repurposed Race for the Cure® T-shirts. Each unique piece has been designed by students from The Art Institute of Indianapolis. The T-shirts aren’t the only regenerated materials. This year, committee members have constructed distinctive decorations from posters, adding a more creative flair to this upscale experience.

Central Indiana. “This allows us to put all our funds raised toward our mission to end breast cancer. Of donations received, 75 percent of net proceeds stay in Central Indiana to fund lifesaving breast screenings, treatment assistance and survivor support to underinsured and uninsured Hoosiers; while 25 percent of net proceeds are invested in international research seeking causes, improved treatments and cures for breast cancer.” There will be a new panel of judges this year that will select the winning design including long snapper Matt Overton from the Indianapolis Colts and Helen Wells of the Helen Wells Agency. Also models will have a chance to win a popular vote by soliciting $1 donations from friends and family members in the audience. “We changed our venue this year in hopes to grow this event,” Schmitz said. “We wanted to expand the appeal to a broader audience. We’re excited to have City Market, an exceptional setting with a modern, chic, urban feel that captures a new look for Project Pink.” Live entertainment will be provided by DJ Gabby Love with Crush Entertainment. The emcee will be Tom Britt, founder and publisher of Geist and Fishers Community Newsletters.

The models are local survivors, co-survivors and celebrities such as Pippa Mann, who ran a pink car in the Indianapolis 500 this year Project Pink has raised more than $20,000 to partner with Komen to help raise money for Komen Central Indiana in the past two and awareness. years and has touched the lives of many local breast cancer survivors.

One survivor, Jennifer Spees, expressed her interests and passion for the event. “I will celebrate five months cancer free on Aug. 19,” Spees said. “I was 44 when diagnosed, in the best shape of my life, as I was training for my first marathon. I had no history of breast cancer, and my genetic testing was negative. I have two daughters who now know a great deal about breast cancer and are advocates for a cure. They were two of my biggest cheerleaders throughout chemo, surgery and radiation. Having cancer, I knew I had to show them that you can do anything and be strong doing it! I would love to teach the girls another life lesson, that no matter how tall or how

much hair you have, you can be a model and be proud of yourself. I would like to be considered for the Project Pink Fashion show to send a message to my girls and the world you can do anything. Never give up.” “It is stories like this one that encourage and inspire us to make Project Pink bigger and better every year,” Schmitz said. Janet C. Striebel is a Fishers resident and freelance writer. She and her husband, Doug, have three children: Ryan, Jessica and Justin. She has been writing for atGeist.com for more than seven years and claims that the best part is meeting all the interesting people in her community.

IT’S HIGH TIME FOR HIGH TEA Writer / Janelle Morrison

British-born Tina Jesson is ready to introduce the Arts & Design District to a proper tea experience and will open the doors to Tina’s Traditional Old English Kitchen at the end of September. She’s bringing her family and native British recipes from “across the pond” and right into the cups and onto the plates of her guests. Tina and her husband of 23 years, David, moved from England to Indiana as a result of a job transfer with Rolls-Royce. “He was transferred to Indianapolis in 2008, so I figured I’d come with him,” Tina said jokingly. Her witty disposition and genuine nature is infectious and makes her very personable. She began her enterprise in 2011 by baking and selling her English baked goods at various farmers’ markets throughout Indianapolis. “I wanted to see if people would like English baked goods and I did it because I have a passion for baking. It is also a way to kind of take me back home. There are a lot of baked goods, I wasn’t able to find here and so I decided to bake them myself and see if people would like them.” She spent the next six months market-testing and going to farmers’ markets in towns like Zionsville, Plainfield, downtown Indy and at Traders Point Creamery, taking copious notes on what her customers liked. Shortly thereafter, Tina began receiving requests for private tea parties and catering gigs. She serves authentic sandwiches, scones and cakes made from scratch. By 2013, she was hosting pop-up tearooms in various locations in Danville, Speedway, Carmel and other locations on select dates. She will be opening her first permanent location at 30 N. Range Line Rd. inside the Simply Sweet Shoppe building in downtown Carmel. “What a great marriage this will be,” Tina said of the cohabitation with the Simply Sweet Shoppe. “Guests will come in the main door and go to the right to find the Simply Sweet Shoppe or come in to the left to find Tina’s Traditional Old English Kitchen. I think there’s really great synergy there. I’m sure people, after having tea at our tea room, will shop next door and buy some lovely chocolates to take home.” The renovations to her space are underway. There will be seating for approximately 30-40 people with additional seating outdoors in the garden terrace that will be available next spring. There is a private room in the back, available by reservation, for bridal and baby showers or any other special event. Tina’s guests will be treated to a variety of authentic English baked goods, sandwiches, preserves and teas, all prepared from scratch. Upon her return from a trip to England to visit their two adult children, Daniel and Emma, Tina will announce a soft opening followed by her grand opening at the end of September, in time to host guests of the Carmel International Arts Festival. Tina said she had been actively searching for a location and hoping for the right opportunity to atCarmel.com / SEPTEMBER 2014 / CARMEL COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER / 49

Carmel_09-14.indd 49

8/26/14 5:23 PM

present itself, and that it would lead her to Carmel. “I wanted to hold out for something that really fits what I’m trying to do in the traditional sense. We’re in close proximity to where everything is happening in Carmel, and it is so exciting! I think that holding out for two years, while looking for the right spot, is certainly going to pay off.” Tina’s Traditional Old English Kitchen is scheduled to open the last weekend of September and will be open from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. for lunch and afternoon tea. For more information and to view their complete menu, please visit their website at tinastraditional.com. “At Tina’s Traditional, we want to create a safe and relaxed place for women to take time out to be themselves and take time for each other; to create a level of service where nothing is too much trouble; where we exceed expectations and you leave feeling like royalty.”

ANNUAL REV. CHARLES R. WILLIAMS CANCER AWARENESS RUN/WALK Writer / Ray Compton

Do you know the disease that actor Robert DeNiro, baseball executive Joe Torre, golf legend Arnold Palmer, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and military icon Colin Powell all suffered from and survived? Each had prostate cancer. And each beat the disease. Actually, it is not too surprising the quintet defeated prostate cancer. Most men do. Statistics show that 91 percent of men who have acquired prostate cancer can outlast the slow moving disease if it is discovered early and treated correctly. Indeed, the discovery is critical to survival, and that is one reason why the Annual Rev. Charles R. Williams Cancer Awareness Run/Walk will be Saturday, September 27 at Quaker Park in Westfield. Proceeds from the annual run/walk will support the operations, testing and education services offered by the Rev. Charles Williams Prostate Cancer Mobile Unit that services the public throughout Central Indiana.

ANNUAL REV. CHARLES R. WILLIAMS

CANCER AWARENESS RUN/WALK Saturday, September 27 Quaker Park in Westfield 17501 Dartown Road thatmenmightlive.com 317-446-8771

Information for the run/walk appears at thatmenmightlive.com or by contacting Kathy Jordan at 317-446-8771. Enter in advance or before the 9 a.m. start of the event that will take place in Westfieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Quaker Park at 17501 Dartown Road. The Indiana Pacers, Indianapolis Colts, Anthem and the Department of Health are sponsors. Statistics show that one out of six males in the United States will have prostate cancer. It is projected that more than 240,000 will become inflicted with the disease in 2014. More than 32,000 will die from prostate cancer this year, but over 2.5 million males in the United States have survived the disease.

WORLD RENOWN CHEF DARINA ALLEN COMES TO TRADERS POINT CREAMERY

story. The San Francisco Chronicle once called her the “Julia Child of Ireland.” Allen has been voted Cooking Teacher of the Year by the International Association of Culinary Professionals. Darina has written a number of best-selling, award-winning books including: 30 Years at Ballymaloe (Winner, Cookbook of the Year for the Irish Book Awards 2013); Forgotten Skills, winner of the André Simon Food Book of the Year and Listowel Food Fair Book of the Year Award in 2010; Easy Entertaining, winner of the 2006 Chefs and Restaurants Award from the IACP; Irish Traditional Cooking, Ballymaloe Cookery Course; A Year at Ballymaloe; Healthy Gluten-free Eating (with Rosemary Kearney); and the Simply Delicious series of books to accompany her TV series of the same name. Obviously, her appearance at Traders Point Creamery is a unique and not-to-be-missed event. Darina lives on her organic farm, Kinoith, in Shanagarry and is known as a leader of the “Slow Food” movement in Ireland. She was instrumental in establishing a network of farmers’ markets in the County Cork area. On her 100-acre organic farm, they grow all their own vegetables, have 150 free-range hens for eggs, a herd of Kerry cows, pigs that are a rare breed reared for flavor, as well as some ducks, geese and sheep. It seems only “natural” that Darina, globally known for her dedication and tireless efforts to expand the use of locally grown and organic food, would feel right at home in choosing to have this incredibly special evening held at Traders Point Creamery. Darina will be joined by local Indianapolis chefs, while she crafts a meal featuring the farm’s whey-fed pork with vegetables and fruit from the fall harvest. The evening will be a unique opportunity to gather with Darina and other guests alongside the farm’s organic garden for open-air dining at communal tables. It will commence with wine and hors d’oeuvres at 6 p.m., followed by five unique courses with wine pairings. Live music will complement the experience as Darina guides guests through the meal and reflects on farm-to-table cooking.

Writer / Neil Lucas

On September 30 at 6 p.m., Traders Point Creamery will host its “Harvest in the Heartland,” a once-in-a-lifetime chance to have dinner with world-famous Irish chef Darina Allen. For non-foodies who may have not heard of her, Darina Allen is a world-renowned chef, author and TV personality who created the Ballymaloe Cookery School in Shanagarry, Ireland. She was described as the Alice Waters of Ireland in a recent Food Republic

All proceeds from the event will fund a scholarship for a local Indianapolis culinary student to attend a two-week farm-to-table cooking course at Darina’s Ballymaloe Cookery School in Ireland. Reservations are required, and tickets are $135 per person. There will be limited seating, so make your reservations early. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit traderspointcreamery. com or email events@traderspointcreamery.com.

festival ST GEORGE

Writer / Neil Lucas

he St. George Festival will be held September 12-13 for the first time at the new location of St. George Orthodox Christian Church, 10748 East 116th Street in Fishers. The church sponsored the Middle Eastern Festival for 17 years at its prior location in Indianapolis, and the newly revamped festival builds on that Middle Eastern heritage, offering many popular features of previous events.

“We’re still celebrating our Middle Eastern roots, but at the same time we’re expanding the format,” explains Brad Tirey, festival director. “In the past, it’s been just food, drink and dance. We are adding other activities, demonstrations, cultural events and more attractions for youth, including hot air balloons and a carnival area.” Why change the name of the festival? Parish priest Father Nabil Hanna says, “We want to honor the various other traditions of all the people who have joined and make up St. George today. We are extremely diverse. We have people of backgrounds from many countries across the world.” What’s different about this festival? “Two things,” says Fr. Nabil. “One is that it’s at our new location on 116th Street with a new

Byzantine temple and beautiful iconography. The Indianapolis Star called it ‘the number one thing to see or do in Fishers this summer.’ We are inviting everybody to come and celebrate with us.” Tours will explain the church’s unique architecture, as well as iconography that was recently installed by renowned iconographer Dr. George Kordis of the University of Athens, Greece. “Secondly, we are trying to make the festival a little more interactive; not to just come, buy food and sit down with music playing in the background. You are able to move around, see different things, different demonstrations—try out different things while you are here,” explains Fr. Nabil. What’s going to be the same as previous festivals? “Fantastic food, live entertainment and all of the welcoming people of St. George who want our guests to see what we’re about,” says Brad Tirey. “We hope to continue the spirit of hospitality for which we have become known.”

Festival hours are 5-11 p.m. on Friday, September 12 and from noon to 11 p.m. on Saturday, September 13. Free admission. Offsite parking is available for $5 at Fall Creek Community Church, 10401 East 116th Street (within walking distance). Shuttle buses will run throughout the festival. Due to festival activities, parking at the St. George lot will not be available.

About St. George Orthodox Christian Church St. George Orthodox Church was established in 1926 and ministers to Orthodox Christians of a great diversity of backgrounds. It is a parish of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America. After worshipping together for more than 50 years at its prior location on Sherman Drive, the parish purchased land in Fishers and built a new Byzantine-style church building. St. George’s congregation began worshipping in their new facilities in November of 2013 and held the official door opening ceremony in May of 2014. atCarmel.com / SEPTEMBER 2014 / CARMEL COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER / 57
