Roncalli Salutes National Baseball All-Star

Roncalli High School junior Nick Schnell was one of 25 baseball players from the class of 2018 and 2019 chosen to represent the Midwest at the 2016 Area Code Baseball Underclass Games in Long Beach, California on August 10-12. Schnell, the center fielder for Roncalli’s 4A State Championship team, becomes the first Roncalli baseball player to earn this distinction.

CENTER GROVE ALUM STAY SOCIAL Writer / Andi Robinson

Steve Crose, a graduate of Center Grove High School, was searching Facebook for a place for CGHS alumni to come together, share stories and reconnect with friends from school. There were several groups for “southsiders,” but none that were specific to Center Grove. So he decided to take the leap and start a group himself.

He started the Center Grove Memories Facebook group for people from the area to come together for one source of information. He started promoting the page with his Center Grove friends and was surprised at how fast it took off. Within a week of starting the group he had about 1,000. It currently has more than 2,800 former students, administrators, and teachers. It has also expanded to include other longtime members of the community. People often use the page to reconnect with friends, discuss current community events and reminisce about days gone by.

One of Steve’s favorite discussions came when a recent graduate was cleaning out a storage locker and found a spirit stick from the mid-1970s and early 1980s. She was getting ready move and needed to find a new home for the stick. Through the Center Grove Memories discussion group, they were able to keep the spirit stick in the Center Grove family (after more than 20 comments from people excited about seeing it again).

The group has also become a place to mourn the loss of friends who have passed away. While this is always hard to see, it helps knowing

this place to share memories is available. The news often comes when a member is looking for someone from his or her past, and the Center Grove Memories page is the first place that people hear of someone’s passing.

The group is also used to help graduating classes connect for milestone reunions, including the 50-year reunion for the class of 1966, the 35-year reunion for the class of 1981 and the 20-year reunion for the class of 1995.

The groups also hosts discussions on topics such as area landmarks, including the barn on State Road 144 between Whiteland Road and State Road 37 which had “Center Grove Trojans Are Dy-nomite” painted on the side. Several members of the group discussed gathering funds to revitalize the structure.

Crose tries to ensure that the people requesting admission to the group actually have ties to Center Grove area to avoid the discussion board being spammed.

To learn more, or join the group, search for “Center Grove Memories” on Facebook.

CHEF SUZANNE OFFERS FAVORITE CHRISTMAS MEMORIES AND RECIPE SUNDRIED TOMATO BASIL PESTO TORTE

Chef Suzanne Rockwell, owner of Chef Suzanne Catering, is ready for the holidays, and is ready to share some favorite holiday recipes to help you plan a festive Christmas gathering.

Chef Suzanne has been working in the food industry as a private chef, executive chef, and general manager for years. She started Chef Suzanne Catering in 2009.

We talked with her recently about how special the holidays are for her, and her favorite Christmas memories.

“It is impossible to choose between two favorite Christmas memories,” Rockwell said. “My first would be arriving at my grandparents’ farm the day before Christmas, and seeing all the homemade noodles spread out all over the dining room table drying.” She and her siblings would fight over who got to be the “noodle testers” as the noodles simmered on the stove.

“My Grandma did not use a recipe, so to this day I can not duplicate those noodles,” Rockwell recalled. “The second favorite memory would have to be the trees my late father always picked out. They would always look fine in the lot, and by the time we got home the trunk was always crooked. One year it was so bad he had to tie the trunk to the lock on the window to keep it from falling over.”

1 cup sundried tomatoes 1 teaspoon chopped garlic 8 oz. softened cream cheese ½ cup basil pesto Dice sundried tomatoes and add garlic. Spray small container with non-stick spray. Line with clear plastic wrap. Place sundried tomatoes in the bottom and pat to fit. Press softened cream cheese into shape of your container and place over sundried tomatoes.

Layer basil pesto. Add remaining layer of cream cheese.

Long keeps this photo of himself as Buddy Walker from the movie Hoosiers with fellow actor Dennis Hopper.

Writer / Suzanne Huntzinger Photographer / Brian Brosmer

After a brief time out to talk strategy, Jimmy Chitwood and the rest of the Hickory Huskers basketball players return to the court to play out the final seconds of the state championship game against South Bend Central. Chitwood sneaks past the guard to advance for his final shot. He jumps, he scores, and Hickory wins 42-40 over South Bend.

Southwestern College. He said the smaller college experience gave him plenty of court time and some unforgettable games.

“The coach let us play Division One schools,” he said. “We played schools including Oklahoma, Texas, and BYU in what they called ham and egg games, and learned so much. I wouldn’t trade that experience for the world.”

After college, Long returned to the basketball mecca that is the Hoosier state, The final scene in the movie “Hoosiers” still and that’s where our discussion returned. makes my pulse race 30 years after I first saw As we continued rehashing memories of it. Countless real-life Hoosiers are reliving the our alma mater, Long and I recall how the glory, too, at various parties around the state Trojans took their hoops very seriously and celebrating the movie’s release, 30 years ago. often progressed far in the tourney. But then again, the entire Hoosier state took hoops I caught up with Brad Long, who played very seriously.

Buddy Walker, to relive some of the hoops action.

Long said, “The movie came along during Not surprisingly, Long has remained in Indiana, not far from where he grew up. A fellow Center Grove High School alumnus, Long grew up in the Center Grove area and played basketball for the Trojans.

“It was an honor to play for the team. I miss the old gym. It was such a fun place to play,” Long recalled.

Long left Center Grove and headed west to another basketball-loving state, Kansas, to play for the Moundbuilders of

the perfect era. In the ‘80s, fans packed arenas for high school games, college and pro games.”

Indiana basketball fans were uniquely loyal to the sport, largely thanks to a single-class basketball system in which any school, no matter how big or small, had a chance to win the state championship.

Long confessed, “My heart wishes Indiana would go back to that single-class system.

Seeing old gyms packed like the ones in the movie really makes you miss it.”

INDY METRO / DECEMBER 2016 / TownePost.com

To add to the enthusiasm, the popularity of Bobby Knight’s Hoosiers was at an all-time high with stars like Landon Turner, Ted Kitchell, Uwe Blab, and, of course, Steve Alford. The team had such a following that many folks couldn’t wait to tune in to Channel 4 for the IU game, kicked off

by Rosemary Clooney and her rendition of the Indiana Fight Song. Even my mom watched it with us, claiming she was an obligatory fan, only because she was paying the school tuition.

“Hoosiers” writer Angelo Pizzo and director David Anspaugh found that Indiana provided the perfect fan base and ideal film location. But getting the project off the ground was no slam-dunk. Starting with just a $6 million budget, they had to think creatively to make it happen. The filmmakers put out a callout asking for basketball players high school age up to 24 to audition for the movie. Long says he didn’t notice the callout, but his friends saw and urged him to try out.

“I told them I wasn’t going to do it. I was 23 at the time, just graduated from college, started my first job, and I was engaged to be married.”

But his friends persisted, and he tried out. He didn’t read for a specific part, but was delighted to be offered the part of Buddy Walker.

The casting process was unique, Long recalled.

“Usually in a film like this, they pick actors who they hope might be able to play a little basketball,” he said. “This time, they wanted players with some skills and hoped they could teach them to act.”

It’s a strategy that worked out, Long said, “Because the game scenes were not staged. We were actually playing ball.”

But the magic of “Hoosiers” will continue to endure for years to come, and Long said there’s one special element in the film that made it happen.

“Redemption. It’s a theme that’s entwined throughout the movie,” he explained. “It’s not just about winning the game at the end.

It’s about the team’s redemption, Shooter

Flatch’s redemption, and the coach’s redemption. Anyone can identify with that no matter what the era.”

Long has his own message to audiences when he speaks.

“Find your passion in life and pursue it. If you do, you’ll go far.”

As for learning acting skills, Long said he learned a little secret from leading actor Gene Hackman.

“He was great. He taught me that the art of acting is not to act; it’s to just be yourself.”

The busy filming schedule had Long jumping between locations in Knightstown, New Richmond, Nineveh, St. Philip Neri School, and, of course, Hinkle Fieldhouse. Unfortunately, the busy filming schedule required long and his fiancée to move their wedding date from November to December 1985. This gave Long a much different experience than most 23-year-olds, fresh out of college.

In a world of change, our focus is steadfast.

“You just get through it, and do what you have to do.”

Thirty years later, Long is still reliving the glory as he makes his rounds doing motivational speaking.

“I’m so blessed to have the opportunity to share my experience with others,” he said. “I’m truly humbled by the success the movie has attained. I give all the credit to the writer and director for making such an inspiring film.”

But inspiring a new era and new generation isn’t easy. Especially today, when teens spend so much time on digital technology, play numerous sports, and their attention is drawn elsewhere.

“Basketball used to be a big deal. Now it’s not as revered. It takes the crowd out of it when there are so many other things to do,” Long explained.

A BEEF & BOARDS CHRISTMAS Writer / Leia Barker

The heartfelt joy of the holiday season takes the stage in style at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre as Santa and his friends celebrate the 24th annual production of “A Beef & Boards Christmas,” which opened November 25.

“I am giddy when November rolls around and we start rehearsals,” said Deb Wims, who co-hosts the show with Kenny Shepard.

“Sometimes I have to take a moment to appreciate how lucky I am to have the opportunity to do this every year!”

Shepard, a Fishers resident, has been a part of the show since 1994. Wims joined the cast two years later. This is a particularly sentimental year for Wims, who is co-hosting the show with Shepard one last time before moving out-of-state with her family.

“I was hired in 1996 as one of the dancers, ”Wims exclaimed. “I was

thrilled. I hadn’t done a Christmas show in several years and, being crazy about Christmas, I couldn't wait. I loved that it was a revue/ variety style show, filled with classic Christmas songs that I’d been singing since I was a kid. It was right up my alley.”

Since then, she’s taken just three years off when she had her children. Together, she and Kenny have played everything from romantic partners to rag dolls.

“I will miss my friends, especially Kenny Shepard, the most,” she said. “Sharing the stage with him year after year makes this show so special. He is so dear to me. The combination of us together on the stage makes it magical.”

“Plain and simple, Deb is the heart of Beef & Boards, especially the Christmas show,” Shepard said. “Deb and I know each other so well, and especially in the Christmas show, we can pick up where the other leaves off.”

INDY METRO / DECEMBER 2016 / TownePost.com

This year’s quartet of principal singers welcomes back Peter Scharbrough, Betsy Norton and Cara Statham Serber from the 2015 production. Kyle Durbin rounds out the quartet, returning to the show after an eight-year absence.

The Beef & Boards Orchestra, led by musical director Kristy Templet, has its own time in the spotlight as it is featured onstage, playing throughout the production.

A tribute to the military honors all who have served, and children will delight to tell Santa their most special wishes when they have the opportunity to meet him during intermission.

A Beef & Boards Christmas is on stage for 34 performances through December 23 in the intimate space of Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre. Tickets range from $41 to $66 and include Chef Odell Ward’s holiday buffet and select beverages. Parking is always free.

For reservations, call the box office at 317.872.9664 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays.

CENTERPOINT BREWING Southside Guys Open Mass Ave.'s Newest Brewery

atCenterGrove.com / DECEMBER 2016 / CENTER GROVE COMMUNITY MAGAZINE / 17

“ Our goal is to create a craft beer that appeals to a wide audience, that is balanced, true to style and can complement foods and work well at a backyard barbecue.”

Writer / Heather Simpson Photographers / Matt Roberts and Heather Simpson

The Mayor’s Annual Bike Ride October 28 was the perfect backdrop for the grand opening of Indianapolis’ newest craft brewery. A parking lot overflowing with bikes of all types welcomed Centerpoint Brewing to the neighborhood — just right when you’re trying to create great, approachable beer and a place where people can come together.

That night I asked co-owner Pete Argiris how tired he was.

“On a scale of one to 10? I’m at least an 11,” he laughed.

Until about a month ago, Argiris, who lives with his wife Holly and four children in

Center Grove, was working his “day job” as an engineer, then putting in a few more hours at Centerpoint before heading home to sleep so he could get up in the morning and do it all again. Add to that grueling schedule long weekends working at the brewery and opening day has been a long time in the making.

It all began five years ago when Jon Robinson invited Argiris to his house to taste his homebrew beer. The fellow Rose-Hulman graduate was intrigued. The pair began crafting their own recipes and entering competitions. They were having fun and learning a lot, but when they took the Blue Ribbon at the Indiana State Fair in 2014 for their category they knew they had something special. They started kicking around the idea of opening a brewery and developed a business plan. That’s where

Center Grove resident and fellow RoseHulman graduate Jeff Ready joined the team.

Robinson, who describes himself as a serial entrepreneur, says, “being an entrepreneur is not a career path, it’s a lifestyle.”

He brought his start-up experience to the team. The co-founder and CEO of Scale Computing liked the idea of creating a craft beer that appeals to a wider audience.

Argiris summed it up, saying, “Our goal is to create a craft beer that appeals to a wide audience, that is balanced, true to style and can complement foods and work well at a backyard barbecue.”

The three engineers transformed their space at the Circle City Industrial Complex

largely with their own hands. They did their own demolition, set their own equipment and did their own plumbing. An artisan in the building did the metalwork for the backsplash and bar top, but the base of the bar was bare, so friend Carl Fuhrmann used pallet wood to finish it. They also had a concrete company pour the concrete floor and apply a special coating that helps prevent the acid from the beer from eating the concrete. When they needed an interior designer for the tap room, Jeff ’s neighbor Kristen Sodrel stepped in to help.

exPerience You can Bank on.

Centerpoint currently has four beers on tap and about 15 recipes up its sleeve.

The trio describes its Gold as a “Beer Flavored Beer,” this is where they start customers new to craft beers. Described as light and refreshing, it’s their version of the classic backyard, mowthe- lawn baseball game beer. Gold is an important part of their mission to create a craft beer that appeals to a wide audience. Seems like a good start.

At the Indianapolis area’s largest locally owned national bank, our private bankers have an average of 15 years banking experience. Experience that results in unprecedented service, the rare authority to

However, at the Mayor’s Bike Ride, the one I kept hearing about was the black.

This is typically a dark, chocolaty ale that can be intimidating; but not at Centerpoint. This may be because it is served “King Arthur style” – an idea Jeff stumbled upon last summer when marshmallows were left out after his daughter’s sleepover. He popped one into his beer and the tradition of serving Centerpoint Black with a marshmallow, skewered by a tiny sword, was born.

make prompt decisions and unique, innovative solutions to enhance your ultimate financial goals.

So call Tricia Rake today at 317-261-9755. Because she doesn’t apply formulas to determine your financial success. She applies experience.

So what happens when three engineers from Rose-Hulman open a brewery?

They are methodical. They sweat the details. They use a plumb bob for their logo. They help rehab an old building and create a place for people to come together. They have a vision that is elegant and powerful in its simplicity: support the community, invite friends, and make great craft beer.

Longest Snow Day in Center Grove History Writer / Tom Britt

20 / CENTER GROVE COMMUNITY MAGAZINE / DECEMBER 2016 / atCenterGrove.com

Whenever I see the first snow of the season, memories of the Blizzard of ’78 immediately come to mind. The “White Hurricane” dumped more than 15 inches of snow from January 25 to 27, recorded wind gusts over 50 mph, and shut down Center Grove schools for two weeks. Of course, that last statistic was the most memorable part for me.

We lived on Berry Road, just across from where Sugar Grove Elementary is today. I was a fifth grader in Ms. Wells’ class at West Grove Elementary, anxiously awaiting my 12th birthday on January 30. But when we woke up the morning of January 26, not only was school closed, but practically the entire state of Indiana was shut down.

For two weeks straight we woke up at 7 a.m., watched the Cowboy Bob Show in its entirety, ate toast with a variety of toppings, dressed in layers of clothes and went outside to engineer and build a complex tunnel

system under the 5-foot snow drifts throughout our yard. My younger sister Julie was only 5 years old, so we couldn’t rely on her for any tunneling labor assistance. However, she was welcome to explore our complex underworld, complete with skylights, fireplaces and hiding places.

Hard-packed snow drifts covered my dad’s ‘72 Chevy Malibu — you couldn’t even see the top of it. Our neighbors, the Kemps, had a snow drift that angled perfectly up the leeward side of their house to their rooftop. At the corner of our street and Smith Valley Road, snow had drifted more than 12-feet high.

Needless to say, we couldn’t, and didn’t, go anywhere. Not even school.

Tanks were used to clear stranded vehicles on I-65, and doctors were forced to use snowmobiles to get to emergencies. Locally, the Daily Journal printed newspapers on pink paper so readers could find them on the snow. It was the biggest snow storm in Indiana history, but more importantly, the longest unscheduled vacation from school ever.

GEIST'S NEWEST PACER THADDEUS YOUNG

Writer / Pat Carlini

It’s hard to believe the laid back, almost shy Thaddeus Young that I sat down with one day after practice is actually the aggressive 6’8”power forward for the Indiana Pacers, and not only is he new to the team, he is also our new neighbor here in Geist.

“A realtor took us all over,” says Thaddeus, who moved here in June. “But we just kept coming back to the house on Geist —we just love it!”

While he was born in warm New Orleans, his career has taken him to teams based in colder locations, such as the Philadelphia 76ers from 2007 to 2014, Minnesota Timberwolves in 2014 and 2015 and, most recently, the Brooklyn Nets in 2015 and 2016.

“Brooklyn was tough, “ says Thaddeus, shaking his head. “There was so much to do all around you, but it seems like it takes two to three hours to get anywhere.”

At first he feared it may be too far from downtown, but soon learned it is not a bad commute, and a few fellow teammates also enjoy their homes on Geist.

His wife, Shekinah, has been by his side all the way. The couple met in high school in Memphis, where she is the founder and owner of a successful beauty shop/blow out bar. They have two young boys, and Thaddeus says he enjoys his downtime with his family.

“What I enjoy is just looking out at the water,” laughs Thaddeus. “I don’t like going out there when it gets a little cold.”

“I’m a pretty simple guy,” laughs Thaddeus.

“I enjoy my time on the couch before the kids get home.”

INDY METRO / DECEMBER 2016 / TownePost.com

Thaddeus says his favorite dinner is pasta and he prefers a drink now and then, but not really wine or beer.

“My dad used to say beer is an acquired taste, and for some reason, at 28 years old, I still haven’t acquired the taste for beer,” laughs Thaddeus.

He has, however, acquired a taste for lakeside living, and now he and his family are enjoying their new home on Geist reservoir.

Welcome Thaddeus Young and family!

LIFE’S BEST MOMENTS ARE WORTH REMEMBERING Writer / Kara Kavensky

MemoryVentures’ motivation and mission is to help people share and preserve their best moments in life. MemoryVentures relocated from Los Angeles to the north side of Indianapolis in 2015, bringing its core group of employees with them.

“It became evident that if we wanted to experience growth as a company, relocation was required,” states founder and CEO Anderson Schoenrock. “The economic benefits to our company and to our employees were worth moving to Central Indiana.”

At the time MemoryVentures relocated to Indiana, it had just been named the eighth fastest growing company in Los Angeles.

Not only has MemoryVentures relocated to Indiana with existing employees, it has nearly doubled its workforce to a total of 54, with plans for additional hires.

Preserving and converting outdated media is a dominant segment of MemoryVentures’ business. Its conversion method is built upon a proprietary technology platform. So, at heart, it is a hightech company.

“Through this platform we deliver an exceptional customer experience in a very personalized manner while maintaining the flexibility and scalability required to sustain hyper growth,” Schoenrock says.

MemoryVentures understands the responsibility of caring for one-of-a-kind family treasures. From the moment a package enters its facility, the contents are constantly monitored by video.

“From the time the package is opened, its inventory is catalogued and each object given a unique barcode for tracking. We know exactly where every item is at any time,” Lopez says.

In addition to preservation, MemoryVentures also creates large prints on canvas, murals, decals and even images for corn hole games.

For the holidays, MemoryVentures has a special on its Heartland Box, which is a self-contained kit for digitizing a certain number of items.

“The Heartland Box is designed as a stand-alone gift, or used to create one,” shares Lopez, who recommends visiting www. heartlandbox.com for details.

ArtsyCanvas.com provides more amazing gift ideas, with personalized photos turned into high-quality works of art from digital images.

The MemoryVentures office is filled with reel-to-reel tapes, slides, negatives, VHS tapes and other outdated media storage options.

While its website serves as the main portal for the business, MemoryVentures welcomes walk-in customers who can see for themselves how their precious memories will be handled, from the time the package enters the door until returned with a USB thumb drive containing their treasured memories (or any other product the customer ordered).

“We take special care of the memories that each family is wishing to preserve,” says Director of Sales Danny Lopez.

“Please come by, we are located just a few doors down from the Indy Premier club soccer indoor facility in Fishers,” Lopez says.

INDY ELEVEN'S WINNING STRATEGY Writer / Kara Kavensky Photography provided

What a run. What a game. What a team.

The Indy Eleven wrapped up its third season by remaining unbeaten at home and making it to the championship game, where they lost on penalty kicks to their North American Soccer League rival, the New York Cosmos. Within three short years, the Indy Eleven has accomplished what seemed nearly impossible, but team owner Ersal Ozdemir is used to achieving the impossible.

“Growing up in Turkey, soccer is more than a sport, it is part of the culture,” explained

Ozdemir, CEO of Keystone Group LLC. “Like in so many other countries around the world, in Turkey you are kicking a soccer ball as soon as you can walk, and you are outside playing soccer until the sun goes down – and maybe even later. That’s how my passion for soccer developed, and I brought that with me when I arrived in Indiana to attend Purdue University, where I continued to play on the school’s club team.”

Ozdemir’s quest to bring professional soccer to Indianapolis began as a grassroots effort. He was relentless in his marketing efforts to the soccer moms and millennials.

With so many area youth playing the sport, and with soccer’s increasing popularity across the U.S., Ozdemir knew

Indianapolis was ripe for a team.

“With a world-class city, sports and entertainment are part of the package,” says Indy Eleven President Jeff Belskus. Belskus spent most of his professional career with the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, so he knows a thing or two about sporting events in our city. Ozdemir pulled Belskus from early retirement in January of 2016 to lead the Indy Eleven.

“I’ve been in the Indianapolis area for almost 20 years and have seen it become the best city in the country in regards to using sports as a cultural and economic driver,” Ozdemir says. At the same time, Indianapolis is becoming more globally-

"WITH A WORLD-CLASS CITY, SPORTS AND ENTERTAINMENT ARE

INDY METRO / DECEMBER 2016 / TownePost.com

focused and diverse, with all of these factors making soccer a natural fit.”

He continues, “The idea to bring soccer back to Indianapolis at the professional level was something I wanted to do for the city for a while, but I also know there were several factors that had to fall into place to make it something that would last. The passion with which the community and our supporters have embraced Indy Eleven in such a short amount of time gives me hope and proves that the club has done a lot of things the right way and will be around for generations to enjoy.”

With the state legislature heading into a budget year, it’s a safe bet the Indy Eleven will have a strong presence in the statehouse as they push for the necessary legislation to build their own stadium southwest of Lucas Oil. “Mike Carroll Stadium is less than ideal for us because of its age and temporary nature,” says Belskus. “To continue our trend of improving fan experience, we feel it’s vital to have a high quality venue.

Mayor Joe Hogsett with Indy Eleven Owner, Ersal Ozdemir

“The new stadium could be built in Carmel or Fishers, but the vision is for Indianapolis. The excitement and support we have witnessed only continues to grow.”

“The games are fun; there’s a bit of nostalgia in attending them. Perhaps it feels like college in a way, but with beer,” says Tony Bonacuse, Senior Vice President of Insurance Management Group, Indy Eleven season-ticket holder and close friend to Ozdemir. “The games are fun, family events, and the quality of the play has improved dramatically this year.”

PART OF THE PACKAGE"

-JEFF BELSKUS

TownePost.com / DECEMBER 2016 / INDY METRO

Ozdemir is very visible at games. Hours before games begin, he is commonly found walking through the tailgating parties, where the fans adore him. Selfies, high-fives, fist bumps — Ozdemir is accessible. He will disappear near the end of the games to greet attendees as they leave the stadium.

“Ersal is very hands-on and enjoys connecting with the Indy Eleven fan base,” says Bonacuse. “Ersal is so passionate about soccer, and loves being around others that enjoy the game as much as he does.”

On a scale of 1 to 10, this team goes to Eleven.

CENTER GROVE BOYS BASKETBALL PREVIEW

Writer & Photographer / Matt Roberts

After struggling to a 9-16 record last year with a very young, inexperienced team, the Center Grove High School boys’ basketball team opened its 2016-2017 campaign November 22 under third-year Coach Zach Hahn. Hann said he believes the pieces are in place for the Trojans to take a step forward in 2016.

But are the Trojans athletic enough to compete in the rugged Metropolitan Interscholastic Conference with perennial powers like North Central, Pike and Carmel?

“I’d definitely say so,” Hahn said while watching a pre-season practice. “Our guards are much more athletic than last year.

And this is the third year I’ve had some of these guys. They understand things better than they have in the past, like how to get open against a quicker guy, how to get by somebody and not turn the ball over.

“Our point guard (Spencer Piercefield) is such a solid player. He doesn’t make too many mistakes, and that’s what we need out there in a floor general.”

Hahn believes most of the scoring load will fall to Piercefield, sophomore Trayce

atCenterGrove.com / DECEMBER 2016 / CENTER GROVE COMMUNITY MAGAZINE / 33

Jackson-Davis, junior Nate McClain, and senior Travis Roehling.

“We’ll probably get most of our scoring from sophomores, which is good and bad,” he said. “I worry about inconsistency with this team. There are going to be a lot of highs, but a lot of lows as well. It’s not a lack of effort, but lack of execution from young legs and young minds.”

Hahn started pre-season practices shorthanded due to Center Grove’s success in the football playoffs, as a number of those football players play basketball, as well.

He eagerly anticipated the strength and toughness those players would bring when they were finally available.

Hahn hasn’t always had this problem as previous teams rostered few multi-sport athletes. Though he was anxious to get his full team on the court, he did see an upside

to the delay.

“I think it’s good, because when they get done with football they’re ready for something else. They’ve been in football since July, so even though their bodies are tired, their minds are fresh and they’re excited to start a new season. It brings some excitement back into the program.

“And you’re getting guys who are 6’3”, 6’4”, who can bench press 325 pounds.”

In Hahn’s first year at Center Grove, the senior-laden team went 13-10, but fell to New Palestine in the first round of sectionals. Last year’s 9-16 Trojans played three freshmen in the starting rotation, but they capped the season with a 63-52 win against Whiteland in the sectional opener, giving Hahn his first tournament win as a head coach.

Hahn was asked if those were signs of incremental progress for the program as a whole.

“I don’t think a number (of wins) necessarily defines your success in a season,” he said. “I look more at internal things. Did you improve every day? Over the last three years that’s happened. And I think this is the best team I’ve had since I’ve been here.

“The first year we won our last four games of the season, three of them against ranked teams. Last season we beat a solid Mooresville team at Mooresville, which is a hard place to get a win. Then we turned around and beat Brownsburg. After that we beat Whiteland, who had the best team they’ve had in years, winning 17 games.

“Your goal is always to be playing your best basketball at the end of the season, and I think we’ve done that.

“We’ve been playing our best at the right time.”

The movie “Kassel” explores the internal struggle of a Germany soldier returning to his home at the end of WWII. The main character was the pillar of his community, and at the same time, he lost everything including his family.

1970s. “He never disclosed what he was doing in the military. I only know he flew helicopters and built them,” shares Crabtree.

This is a strong debut for the young Crabtree. Growing up, Crabtree had an affinity for Germany culture as his father The film was produced and directed by spoke the language to Earl as a child. “I love Greenwood resident Earl Crabtree II. Crabtree the German culture and have always been wrote the screenplay, which was inspired by fascinated with history,” says Crabtree. “In his father, an Army veteran, who was stationed high school history class, I was astonished to learn how terrible the WWII era was.” in Germany for over a decade during the

“I wanted to show a more human side of the conflict by depicting someone who was a soldier because they had to be, but not a member of the Nazi party,” shares Crabtree.

“The actors and crew who were attracted to this project did so based upon Earl’s passion for this production,” shares Daria Barwinska, a friend who is assisting with marketing efforts.

“The people who came together to support the creation of this film are quite extraordinary.”

Hauke Bahr lives in Bloomington and is the lead actor portraying Friedrich. Co-star Dalton Edington plays Friedrich’s butler. The cast also includes Rachel Everhart, Kassy Collins and Lec Zorn. Makeup and hair was done by Jack Von Liria, whose credits include the third and fourth “Transformers” films.

“Christopher Wellington was instrumental. In addition to being our cameraman, he helped me with rewrites and instrumental with the scenes,” shares Crabtree. “Bobby Darko’s film company, Innovative Illusionz, also helped tremendously by working with drones, steady cams and extra lighting.”

Filming of the movie took place across the state of Indiana, including Thorn Haven Manor in New Castle.

Thorn Haven Manor has been featured on “Ghost Hunters” as it was the home of a Civil War General.

“The home has quite a history, aside from it dating back to the Civil War era. A murder took place there during the 1800s,” says Crabtree.
