from the publishers Welcome to our first issue as the Publishers of the Carmel Community Newsletter!

We are so excited to be a part of the vibrant Carmel community!

We are also very pleased to be a part of the Townepost community of magazines.

After 30 years in broadcasting in the Indianapolis area, publishing a magazine is a challenging, but rewarding, new endeavor.

In this month’s edition, our cover story came from an old friend who was the lead realtor handling the sale of the Hilbert mansion. There are fascinating stories related to the five-year sale that haven’t come to light until now.

Even the FBI got involved! Andy Murphy sat down with the new president of the Center for the Performing Arts to discuss her vision for the center and the year ahead.

Mark Morrow, who has his ear to the sports ground in Carmel, chats with the first-year wrestling coach at Carmel High School. John debuts his column about golf that we call “Cinnamon Sticks.” This month, John talks to a Carmel golfer who is so avid that he doesn’t let the winter weather slow him down. Ann previews our upcoming “extreme” bucket list trip and admits to an addiction. Also in this issue: Pat Carlini has a great idea for your boring front door, we’ll begin featuring a monthly historical fact about Carmel from the Carmel Clay Historical Society, we’ll let you know what books and movies are popular at the Carmel Clay Library, and you’ll find our new events calendar for Carmel, too.

Please let us know your events that we can include.

We hope you enjoy this month’s stories. We want to hear from you! Tell us what you think and send us your story ideas. Our goal is to highlight the people and things that make Carmel one of the best communities in the country.

Here’s hoping for a prosperous 2013!

Happy New Year!

TownePost Network Expands Into Fishers, Zionsville What started nearly 10 years ago as a hyper local website for Geist Reservoir residents has entered an expansion phase in the Indianapolis metro area. Tom Britt, the founder of the TownePost Network of websites and hyper local newsletters, announced that the Fishers (atFishers.com) and Zionsville (atZionsville.com) Community Newsletters will be launching in 2013 to compliment their existing atGeist.com, atCarmel.com, and atCenterGrove.com properties.

This expansion comes on the heals of the announcement that the Carmel Community Newsletter licensing rights have been sold to former Indianapolis radio icons John and Ann Craig-Cinnamon.

“As print, Internet, and video medias converge locally, we’re positioning ourselves to be a news and small business promotional conduit for the communities we serve,” Britt said. “Fishers and Zionsville round out our North side presence and give our advertising sponsors good penetration in these local markets.”

Future plans call for expansion on the west side and downtown Indianapolis. For more information on licensing information, contact Tom Britt at 317-496-3599 or email Tom@atGeist.com.

“We have the highest advertiser retention rate in any media for one simple reason: it works,” added Britt. “People want to support locally owned businesses. We facilitate positive content that help create that sense of community that every resident wants.”

In February, approximately 14,000 Fishers residents will being receiving the Fishers Community Newsletter in their mailboxes published by Laurie and Matt Quinn. A Fishers family of four living near Hamilton Southeastern High School, the Quinns recently licensed the area from the TownePost Network launching them into a profitable publishing business. Zionsville will be launching in April serving the Zionsville area on Indianapolis’s northwest side.

Ann Craig-Cinnamon is a 30-year radio and television broadcast veteran. Ann is the Publisher of the Carmel Community Newsletter, a writer , travel speaker and author of an upcoming book about her time spent living in Iran.

I am a travel junkie. There is no rehab or 12-step program for people like me. All we can do is continue to hop on that plane, train, bus, car, boat, rickshaw, camel, or ox cart and go where we are compelled to go. We do this knowing that the next fix is going to be more expensive, harder to acquire, and longer to get to. But what a sweet rush we get when we arrive!

I started traveling as a child, often unwillingly, and then began embracing it as an education like none other. Then the need became compulsive to see what the rest of our world and the people in it are like. Since those first trips in the camper with my parents, I have visited all 50 states, more than 70 countries, and 6 continents. I also lived in Tehran, Iran, about which I have written a book called “Walking Naked in Tehran,” which is available everywhere. I have visited far-flung places such as Machu Picchu way up in the Andes, Tibet way, way up in the Himalayas, and Easter Island, the most remote inhabited island in the world and home of the rather creepy Moai statues.

Places aren’t enough though. I’m also into experiencing worldrenowned events, and to that end have participated in Carnival in Rio de Janeiro; Mardi Gras in New Orleans (the first after Katrina); Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany; and New Year’s Eve in Times Square. Luckily, my husband is not only okay with my addiction; he is an enabler. As a result, my golfer husband has gotten the opportunity to play iconic courses such as St. Andrews, Pebble Beach, and Sawgrass, among others, and has

been to the finals of the Masters as well as many other major golf tournaments. So he’s enjoying the ride.

You know an addiction has a hold on you when nothing dissuades you. Among other things, I have suffered through a deathly illness in Australia, altitude sickness in Lhasa, and Pharaoh’s revenge in Cairo but still keep coming back for more. I can’t stop now! In my head I’m thinking, “Yes, I can go everywhere in the world!” You see, it really is a sickness. For the record, there are places I do not want to go, and I have no desire to leave earth’s atmosphere either. So, I am down to what I refer to as my extreme bucket list. On it are places such as Cuba, Iraq, a return to Iran, and….Antarctica.

I am excited to tell you that we leave for Antarctica this month.

As much as I have traveled, I am always nervous about the next trip and this one rightfully so. We will cross the Drake Passage, the choppiest water anywhere in the world. How do you pack for such a trip? With Dramamine and lots of little brown barf bags?

The temperature is going to be wildly erratic with Buenos Aires in the middle of a hot summer and Antarctica….well, cold. That means packing for extremes. I’m more than ok with that. It’s all part of the journey.

We’ll let you know how it goes. In the meantime, anybody out there got a similar affliction? What’s your motivation? What’s the most exotic or interesting place you’ve been? Where do you want to go? Let’s swap stories. Contact me at Ann@atCarmel. com or on our Facebook page www.Facebook.com/atcarmel.

I am always excited to talk travel. It may be an addiction, but some addictions are ok. I wouldn’t trade this one for anything.

A group of Carmel golfers don’t let the winter weather stop them from hitting the links. | John Cinnamon Multiple layers of clothing? Check. Hat to keep the head warm?

Check. Gloves? Check. Sounds like somebody’s ready to shovel the driveway. Think again. It’s Bill Barneclo and his small band of hardy cohorts ready for golf at Carmel’s Brookshire Golf Club. At a time of year when most Indiana golfers have either stashed away their clubs for the season or headed to Florida for a few months, the 68-year-old Barneclo and his friends keep swinging away here like the season never ends. “We played 36 times last year in December, January and February,” says Barneclo. That’s more rounds in the winter than most golfers play all year.

The worst weather he’s ever played in? Barneclo, a retired Whirlpool account rep, recalls a round several years ago. “I was playing by myself in early January, and I was having a great round,” he says. “Then it started to snow. I had just got the ball on the green on a par-3 in regulation, and the snow started to stick when I hit my putt. Well, as the ball rolled through the fresh, wet snow, it started to pick up the snow like a snowball. It stopped right before the hole,” says Barneclo, as if still feeling the sting of missing his birdie putt.

Barneclo’s general rule of “to-play-or-not-to-play” is based on the expected tee-time temperature. “I never make a decision ‘til right that day,” he says. “I try to make 40 degrees the cutoff, but we’ve played in less than that.” Other seasonal rules for Barneclo’s group include moving up one set of tees – from the whites they play during the summer, to the shorter, more forgiving, senior tees. Also, “There are a lot of gimme putts,” Barneclo adds, “mainly just to keep things moving so the cold doesn’t set in.” One final exception he makes for off-season play: “I don’t keep score in the winter.”

And he doesn’t play for money, either. He leaves that to two

of the other guys in the group, one of them is Bob Armstrong.

A 73-year-old retired IBM marketing rep, Armstrong admits it’s not exactly high stakes. He says they play for about a dollar a round. Even at that, Barnelco is skeptical about how much money actually changes hands. “One of these days, I’m going to write down the serial number of that dollar,” he says. “I think it’s the same dollar. They just keep passing it back and forth.”

It’s all part of the fun of golf for him and his friends, no matter what the weather. Much like U.S. Postal Service, neither cold, nor snow, nor gloom of sand traps keeps Bill Barneclo from his appointed “rounds.”

Bill Barneclo watches his drive off the first tee at Brookshire Golf Club.

| Neal G. Moore ue Layton is an aggressive go-getter who decided that her memory skills needed sharpening to stay a step ahead in her broadcast sales job. “My husband and I both have horrible memories,” declared Layton. This working mom appreciated the value of gaining competitive advantage whenever possible. Such were the circumstances that brought Layton to LearningRx, a professional “brain training” center located at 9767 Fall Creek Road, for a memory evaluation. However, an unexpected twist would force a dramatic shift in Layton’s intended focus – and in short order.

S

Tagging along that day was her then eight-year-old son, Ty, whose memory was also evaluated. The results were troubling. “We found out our son had memory issues, having apparently inherited his Mom and Dad’s poor memory,” shared Layton, who promptly signed up Ty for a personally customized 12-week memory development program at LearningRx. Ty’s story is a familiar one to Lynne McCauley, LearningRx’s executive director. “Ty was doing well at school but didn’t qualify for the gifted and talented reading class in third grade because of his reading comprehension score. Once he was tested by us, it became clear that he didn’t have comprehension problems, he had short-term memory problems,” McCauley explained. “He understood the material but couldn’t remember it long enough to answer the questions correctly. While his school reading scores were in the ‘normal’ range, it prevented him from making it into the gifted and talented reading program.”

Layton described Ty as “fired up” about his three-timesa-week, 90-minute sessions with a cognitive skills trainer.

His exercises included this daunting challenge: memorize and then recite, in two minutes or less, the names of all the American presidents – forwards and backwards – while being subjected to audible and visual distractions.

Layton noted that the training was non-judgmental and replete with positive reinforcement. “Ty is a quiet kid who was gaining confidence, and we could see his progress,” she remembered. “He left those sessions feeling like a champion. Who doesn’t want to feel like that?”

McCauley explained the larger implications for Ty and kids like him. “This last school year was the first that all third graders must pass the I-Read test to move to fourth grade. If kids don’t pass the test, they get held back. This is a big deal because it’s crucial that kids master fundamental reading skills to be able to learn effectively at higher levels. Our reading scores in Indiana are dismal because of the way schools teach reading.” Consider this: 55-60% of fourth

graders in Indiana don’t read at a proficient (mastery level), a number that climbs to about 64-66% in 8th grade.

When Ty took the I-Read test at the end of third grade, he was one of only six kids in his school who had a perfect score on the test. McCauley explained that Ty’s fundamental reading skills were always strong, but his memory wasn’t.

“If they hadn’t addressed this, he would have gone on to have more and more problems over the years because of his memory issues,” she said. Today, Ty is in an academicallyadvanced class at his elementary school. “He was thrilled he could go into advanced classes because many of his friends were there. It would have been devastating if he’d been put in another class without them,” Layton said.

The cost of Ty’s program was about equal to a very nice family vacation to Disneyworld – a short-term financial sacrifice that Layton believes was well worth it because of the long-term benefits. “I wanted to make sure my kid had every confidence in the classroom and socially, before starting to make bad choices,” said Layton. McCauley is unambiguous about the importance of early intervention.

“Learning problems left unchecked become bigger problems – it’s not going to go away. Why hesitate about something that will affect your child the rest of his or her life?”

Layton offered great praise for McCauley’s management style, and LearningRx’s commitment to excellence. “Lynne is spot on with her experience, and demands only the best.

The skills trainers are great – we just loved the staff. And, most impressive is Lynne’s continuing support. She still stays in touch.”

If parents have suspicions, the Laytons strongly encourage scheduling the child for an assessment to determine what his or her tool set is like, and what might be missing. “Then you’ll know if your child is prepared for the future.”

Lynne McCauley, executive director of LearningRx, oversees a short-term memory exercise with Ty Layton during one of his 90-minutes one-on-one sessions. na ur ay ry2 0 21 03 1 3 | | carmel carmelccoommmmuunniitt y nn ee ws J ajnau w slleetttteerr

“Lost by one point,” Pendoski said with a grin, pointing to Andy Simon, who was leisurely sitting back in a chair after a recent practice, listening to this conversation about the overall program.

Simon, who defeated Portage to win the state individual championship in 1997, now serves as one of the Carmel assistants. He, too, produced quite a record (329-50) from 1991 to 2001.

Pendoski, who sold his Central Indiana Wrestling Academy to take the Carmel job, is a strong advocate and promoter of high school wrestling. He expects his Greyhounds to do their best on and off the mats, as well as to help put a positive face on the sport in the highly successful Hamilton County high school.

“On Day 1, I asked the kids what they are doing to give wrestling a presence in our school to help build fan support,” he said.

Carmel Wrestling: It’s All About Being Positive & Proud | Mark Morrow There are reasons to be optimistic when it comes to the future of Carmel High School wrestling.

For one thing, one of the state’s winningest coaches has taken the helm. For a another thing, Carmel USA Wrestling should have an impact on the future. The fast-growing club should leave a deep impression on the sport, just like the coach hopes to do.

It all adds up to being positive, proud, and prepared to excel on and off the mats.

Ed Pendoski, in his first season coaching the Greyhounds, brings a 327-27 career record. He coached 11 seasons (1994-2005) at Portage High School. He never lost a sectional. He won nine semistate championships.

One thing missing from his resume, however, is a state championship.

Pendoski, who serves as a board director for the Indiana State Wrestling Association, said the Carmel wrestling team also supports other sports at Carmel. “We’ll go to various Carmel sporting events as a group, to show our support,” Pendoski said. “When the kids have that Carmel shirt on, they project pride and a very positive presence around other programs and student athletes.”

Pendoski said wrestling is more than just about wins. He said it’s a sport that provides life lessons. “We want kids to put on a performance for spectators,” he said. “We want them to compete hard and provide an exciting style and to promote within the school system. We want spectators to know that when they come to one of our matches, they can expect to see us perform at the highest level we can, and to provide an entertaining experience.”

It all starts with youth who aspire to grow with the sport.

He said he’s especially proud of Carmel USA Wrestling. He serves as the group’s president, and he wants to provide all youth a positive experience.

“We want the kids to have fun. Not every kid will stay with wrestling,” Pendoski said, “but we want to provide an opportunity for them to learn and grow and to take something positive away from their experience. Carmel USA Wrestling simply provides opportunities for kids.”

The program is modeled after the Carmel swim program, which has a high school coach and a summer program director in Chris Plumb. Now, Pendoski assumes both duties in wrestling. “It’s wrestling’s version of AAU,” Pendoski said. Pendoski said the club is still in its infancy, and that Jim Selvio, an assistant wrestling coach at Carmel, had a

big hand in bringing USA Wrestling to Carmel two years ago.

Can they do that?

On-the-job disagreements can devastate a business.

The goal of the Carmel USA Wrestling Club is to make available opportunities for wrestlers to improve their skill level and broaden wrestling experiences in a fun, competitive atmosphere “while inspiring our student athletes to continue their wrestling aspirations,” Pendoski said. USA Wrestling is the national governing body for the sport of wrestling in the United States and, as such, it is a representative to the U.S. Olympic Committee.

The three stages of USA Wrestling are national, state, and local.

USA Wrestling replaces the Greyhound Wrestling Club, which was a closed club. Carmel USA Wrestling is open to the public. “Carmel USA Wrestling is a place to train and have fun. It’s more than just being competitive,” Pendoski said. “It truly does teach life lessons.

Kids will get out of wrestling what they put in to it.”

Pendoski said he has the necessary experience and knowledge about the sport to know what’s best for kids – what they should do and at what level they can compete if they decide the sport is for them. He said he wants to do what is best for each kid in order to make wrestling an enjoyable experience. “In the end, if kids decide they want to compete, then great. If not, then that’s OK, too. At least they’ve been given an opportunity to see what the sport is like,” Pendoski said. “No matter what each kid decides, our goal is to make sure they can take something positive away from their experience…. hopefully something that will help them in whatever they decide to do in life.”

| J. Andy Murphy ania Castroverde Moskalenko, President/CEO of Carmel’s magnificent Performing Arts Center, early in life didn’t think she would change careers from a ballet dancer, front and center on the stage, to that of an arts administrator, working behind the scenes with budgets, artistic programming, developing adult and children’s educational music enrichment programs, and a mirage of other team management responsibilities. So what was behind her decision to step into a different pair of shoes and pursue another life path?

T

“I grew up in a rich atmosphere of dance and music. My family came to America from Cuba, settling in Miami when I was just six years old. My mother is a pianist and she and my father enriched our lives with a deep love of music, so it seemed only natural for me to fall in love with the arts, which led to a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Theater and Dance from the University of Memphis. I found myself taking on leadership roles in the arts community. I discovered that arts administration was a solid fit with my

| j a n u a ry 2 0 1 3

12/31/2012 2:22:50 PM

music and dance experience and my passion for the arts,” Tania said with a warm smile that reflected the moment of recollection as to how it all began.

This career change became official when she joined the Buckman Performing and Fine Arts Center in 1998 (to 2005) where she established a highly-respected performing arts series focused on world music and contemporary dance. She also found the time (2000 to 2002) to serve as a commissioner for the Tennessee Human Rights Commission (appointed by the Governor of Tennessee) and served on the board of Latino Memphis.

In 2005, Tania took the reins of the Germantown Performing Arts Centre. There, she further established herself as a dynamic leader who thoroughly understood the daily challenges of presenting world-class performing arts programs and working tirelessly to expand the support of the corporate environment in the arts community.

Meeting with this unassuming woman who speaks quietly with such personal dedication and conviction for the arts immediately grabs your attention. When asked what programs might be forthcoming, she said, “This Performing Arts Center has done an amazing job of establishing a bar of excellence. I love all kinds of music – especially classical music – and I know there are artists from all over the world who would love to perform in this amazing facility. Right now, we are in the planning mode, but I can share that there are thoughts of doing more world music and dance; perhaps developing a coffeehouse music series; and definitely exploring more community engagement while creating more programs for life-long learning. We have a campus of wonderful theater locations with the Palladium, Tarkington, and The Studio Theater. It’s my responsibility to curate the best artistic seasons possible in order to create meaningful experiences for our diverse audiences.”

One such future program might include an exciting nationally-recognized storyteller who has designed a

one-of-a-kind, multi-visual arts music appreciation show that uniquely demonstrates how storytelling and music presentation work together. This performer appeals not just to kids, but to adults as well. Just listening to her explain all the unique elements that this artist brings to the stage demonstrated her wonderful ability to think outside the box.

I can honestly tell you that I wanted to purchase a ticket right then and there as she has that rare ability to help a person visualize what might be, even though they have no previous knowledge of the subject.

The serious side of Tania Moskalenko comes to light when discussing the phasing out of so many arts programs for our children. “Today, the support for the Arts nationwide is not what it should be,” she said. “Children need to be able to experience and be involved with the arts. Learning to dance, sing, or play an instrument can make a huge difference in their lives. It’s an opportunity that our children are losing as more and more funding for school programs is being cut,” she added. “At some point, we separated the arts from our culture,” she stated with obvious concern. “History will show this to be a mistake, so we must find a way to fund and provide these programs. We will definitely be working with our wonderful corporate community to build exciting enrichment programs that immerse our children in the arts.”

Tania has certainly accomplished this before, creating a children’s orchestra that went from just 35 to 110 students in a 2-year period. In 2011, she took 52 students, teachers, and parents on a 17-day music cultural and educational tour in China. “It was, indeed, a magical journey for the students,” she said. “They learned so much from this experience and will carry this memory with them for the rest of their lives.”

Webster’s Dictionary, in part, defines music as the art of multiple compositions and harmony working together in many different forms. We think this comes very close to describing Tania Castroverde Moskalenko’s professional side. Stay tuned for the rest of her story.

sold Sale of the Century A Behind-the-Scenes Look at the Sale of the Hilbert Mansion

| John Cinnamon

O

prah Winfrey. Howard Rockefeller Hughes, III. An unnamed NASCAR driver who already calls Indiana home. These are just some of the people who may, or may not, have had a serious interest in buying what many consider the most opulent residential estate in Indiana.

The sale of the Hilbert Mansion, as it was known colloquially, spanned more than five years and saw a reduction from its original asking price of a staggering $20 million to the ultimate bargain basement (make that, finished basement) price of $3 million. These numbers are part of the public record. But what went on behind the scenes is an eye-opening look at the world 16

carmel c o m m u n i t y n e ws l e t t e r

Carmel_January_2013.indd 16

of high-end real estate, high-stakes legal wrangling, and highprofile home buyers.

Nobody had a better vantage point for the whole sordid tale than Greg Cooper. A broker with the Dick Richwine Group at Prudential Indiana, Cooper was the lead broker for the sale of the 25,000-square-foot mansion at 1143 West 116th Street in Carmel that the original occupants ostentatiously called Le Chateau Renaissance. His agency was hired by Conseco to sell the property in an effort to recoup part of the $62 million judgment that Conseco won against its former CEO, Stephen Hilbert. But selling a $20 million estate that is the subject of a lawsuit is quite different from selling the average 2,500-square-foot, threebedroom ranch.

“We thought it would have some level of global appeal,” says Cooper. “We have some industries here, the racing industry for example, that are very strong. The sports marketing industry.

When we listed the home in 2005, we had several NCAA Final Fours scheduled and there was also talk of a Super Bowl. We thought there would be a bigger market outside Central Indiana and as it turned out, there really wasn’t.” The other thing that made selling the home even harder was the terms laid down by Conseco’s special projects manager, the person hired by Conseco

| j a n u a ry 2 0 1 3

who started leaving us these long, rambling voicemail messages at night,” says Cooper, “and he identified himself as Howard Rockefeller Hughes, III. He didn’t really sound drunk, but he didn’t sound quite right.” Cooper says the messages continued for some time until one Friday afternoon when he got a call from the front desk saying that Howard Rockefeller Hughes was there to see him.

“I can’t imagine who this guy is,” says Cooper. “So I go dashing to the front and as I get there, he’s decided to leave. He has a long, black trench coat on, black high-top tennis shoes, black pants, and dark glasses. He looked like Jim Morrison.” The man then walked out to 82nd Street in front of the Prudential Indiana office building and headed east on foot. They didn’t hear from “Hughes” for six months until he started calling again and reappeared at Cooper’s office. This time the police were called.

“It turns out he was someone who was being cared for in a mental institution,” Cooper explains, “and had stopped taking his medication and left his mother’s house where he was supposed to be. When you see somebody like that in your office when you’re getting these incoherent ramblings, you don’t know if the guy is there to shoot the place up or not.”

Realtor Greg Cooper stands at the gates of the 33-acre Hilbert/Lucas mansion complex he helped sell. specifically to sell the estate. Cooper explained that the special projects manager required that any potential buyer put down a $1 million non-refundable deposit with no contingencies. You could not get out of the deal for an inspection. You could not get out of the deal if you couldn’t get financing. That obviously limited the number of serious buyers.

There was one potential buyer who actually did put down the $1 million deposit. Cooper thought the deal would close.

“When you have a million dollar non-refundable deposit, you’re thinking ‘this is gonna go’.” However, 29-and-a-half days into the 30-day contract, the woman who made the deposit called and asked for an extension. Conseco’s special projects manager said no. That sale didn’t close, the buyer lost her $1 million, and she was never heard from again. However, about a year-and-ahalf later, Cooper got a call from an FBI agent in Florida asking questions about the woman. “She had apparently made some representations about the property,” says Cooper, and according to the FBI, “other people had lost their money on it.”

High-profile celebrities would certainly be able to afford the $20 million price tag and $1 million deposit. And Cooper speculates that a number of celebrities were interested in the house.

Unfortunately, all he can do is speculate. No actual celebrities toured the property. That’s what their “people” are for. Cooper related the story of a group who came from Chicago. “They had something to do with broadcasting, and they asked a lot of questions that were broadcast specific: ‘We’d like to do this here, we’d like to do that here. How far to the airport?’ Frankly, I always thought they were Oprah Winfrey’s people,” Cooper surmises. “But no one ever told me that.”

The typical reasons for not buying a house – the kitchen’s too small, there’s not enough closet space, there’s no sports barn with a full-size replica I.U. basketball floor – were not an issue with the Hilbert Mansion. So what reasons did Cooper hear from those looking at the house for not buying? “It’s too much to take care of,” says Cooper, “even for people with that kind of money.” Property taxes alone would be $250,000 a year. He explains that the property is unusual even for homes in that price range ($15 million +) across the country. Besides the enormous main house, the huge complex also includes five other buildings: a catering kitchen, pool house, sports building, guest house, and power generator building.

“There were representatives from a number of high-profile NASCAR drivers, a couple of whom live in the state,” he continues. “You can probably imagine who they are.”

The one time a prospective buyer did give a high-profile name, it was a false alarm. But alarming, nonetheless. “We had a guy

Ultimately, it was Lucas Oil Products founders Forrest and Charlotte Lucas who got the deal of the century. After first touring the home in December, 2008, when the asking price had dropped to $10 million, the Lucases came back two years later and closed on the property in October of 2010, paying a j a n u a ry 2 0 1 3

shockingly low $3 million. Ironically, the stadium in downtown Indianapolis that bears Forrest Lucas’s name covers a mere 25 acres, compared to the 33 acres that encompass his new Carmel home.

For Greg Cooper and the Richwine Group, the entire process from listing to close lasted five years and four months.

Was it worth it? “I don’t know,” says Cooper. “I’ve thought about that a long, long time. Thousands and thousands of hours. Over $100,000 in marketing out of our pockets. If the house had sold for $16 million, that’s a reasonable investment. But when you sell at $3 million, clearly on that particular sale it was not a moneymaker.” Cooper says it wasn’t all for naught, however. They did make several contacts that led to other home sales that made the experience worthwhile.

According to Cooper, two years removed from the sale, the online virtual tour of the Hilbert (now Lucas) Mansion still gets as many as 5,000 views a week.

“The interest in the house never seems to end.”

invest in your nest Making a Grand Entrance | Pat Carlini

Everyone enjoys making a grand entrance; and when your front door is warm and inviting, it just screams “welcome” to your guests! So if you notice your front door is looking a little weathered, or maybe just in need of an update, it may be time to Invest in Your Nest and help your front door say “come on in” once again.

Jim and Laura Murphy have been updating their Carmel home since they moved in a few years ago. With the inside nearly done, they started looking at the home’s exterior and thought the front doors could use a little update as well. “They are nice solid wood front doors; but they are heavy, and they block out the light for the foyer inside,” says Lisa. “I wanted to let some light in and give the doors a new look.”

The couple shopped around and found “One Hour Door Decorative Glass and Windows” which specializes in front-door makeovers. “We learned that we could get a whole new look to our entryway with One Hour Door at a fraction of the cost of buying new doors,” says Lisa.

Solutions for Life’s Transitions

The Murphys met with One Hour Door owner Tim Quigley, and together they came up with a new look for the front door.

“Pretty much any design you want can be made into a glass insert,” says Tim. The newly-designed decorative glass inserts were ordered.

When they arrived, One Hour Door was ready to tackle the project. Working from their truck in the Murphys’ driveway, One Hour Door removed the wood doors, cut out the center of the doors and put in the new glass inserts. “You have a whole new look to your entryway in very little time," says Tim, “and there’s no mess for the homeowner to clean up!”

The result is a beautiful new entryway to the Murphy home for a cost of around $2,500.

“We love the look, and there’s more light in the foyer, too,” says Lisa. The Murphys say they realize now that the first thing everyone sees on their home was the last thing they got to! “We just wish we had done this sooner!” laughs Lisa.
