Publisher’s Welcome

By Jody Veldkamp I was born in a small town. It had a Tastee Freeze and in my high school class there was a guy named Jack, and a girl named Diane, they didn’t date, but I digress. One thing all small towns have is a sense of community. Center Grove is not a small town, 42,000 of us call White River Township home. However our size does not deter our sense of community.

Every community has something that brings it together; a newspaper, a radio station, talking over the backyard fence. When former Center Grove resident Tom Britt suggested the idea of creating a Center Grove edition of his two suburban Indy publication I was intrigued. What a great opportunity to increase our sense of community.

Dann and Jody Veldkamp

Intrigue turned into a discussion with my brother, Dann, which turned into Center Grove Community Newsletter and AtCenterGrove.com. We mail the print edition to nearly 13,000 Center Grove homes. The print edition grew from 16 pages to 24 pages this month. Our online edition is growing too. We are working towards fresh content every day. Why? Because we hope that At Center Grove, be it print or online, can share what’s happening in our community. We want to tell your stories, your neighbors’ stories, and the stories of our community.

To tell our community’s stories we need your help, your ideas, your events, and your feedback.

You can call me, 317-507-4334 or email me, jody@AtCenterGrove.com (note the word “at” after the “@” it can be confusing) or share a comment or event on Facebook.com/AtCenterGrove.

Boys’ Butterfly Window Box What is more fun than watching a butterfly emerge from its cocoon? Ever since my great nephews, Max & Eli, and I have been planting a Butterfly Window Box garden we have had the Blacktail butterflies return every summer. We know when the caterpillars arrive because the parsley will disappear almost overnight and sure enough we will find several of the green caterpillars munching away!

from the tiniest egg to the caterpillar when we put them in glass jars to feed them the parsley and watch them make the chrysalis.

Then from these cocoons at last the butterflies emerged and we set them free.

One year one of the butterflies didn’t have a complete wing and flew away “crooked” so now we just watch them in the “wild” over the window box and beyond.

We plant the window box with easy annuals like zinnias, lantana, marigolds and the “summer snapdragons“(Angelonia angustifolia), and of course the herb, parsley. Adding a variety of flowers - different shapes, smells and colors - will not only attract but will assure that all stages of the butterfly are fed. I like to add easy perennials like Pinks (Dianthus) and Guara (Guara lindheimeri). With a common name of “whirling butterflies”, the Guara is just fun & perfect. The finishing touch is to cover the dirt with small pebbles then provide a shallow “pool” of sand & water nearby.

Our next project is planting a sunflower “fort” - we’ll keep you posted on how that progresses over this summer. My other project is keeping my husband from planting more milkweeds in my flower beds - now that he is retired he can make his very own wild bird/butterfly garden! cg Nancy’s love of flower gardening intensified while living in Holland and was perfected with Master Gardener courses.

Moms are Nothing Less Than Super-Heroines

By Barbara Augsdorfer

F

irst, she feels the gentle tap, tap, tap on her shoulder. Then, she blinks open her eyes to see the blurry red numbers on the clock look like a 2 and a 4 or a 3 and maybe a 1 or is it a 7? The only light in the room is the dim glow of a nightlight in the bathroom.

The gentle tapping is accompanied by a weak voice she instantly recognizes, “Mommy, I’m sick … I threw up.”

“It’s okay, honey,” she soothes. She instinctively feels his forehead and stomach, which are warmer than usual, but not really hot. Just to make sure, she finds the thermometer and seconds later learns that the little body has heated up to just over 100 degrees.

She cleans up the regurgitated dinner and cookies from last night, changes the sheets and pajamas, and gives the child a dose of “the pink stuff” to settle his tummy. All quiets down for a while.

Though not a typical night in the household, Mom has again declared war on the flu bug.

Whether she’s called Mother, Mom, Mommy, Momma, or Ma, women who earn this title by giving birth or welcoming an adopted or foster child, are nothing less than super-heroines.

Cub Scouts call them den mothers. There are working moms and stay-at-home moms who work just as hard; soccer moms, hockey moms, baseball and softball moms, football moms, band moms, dance moms, and stage moms.

There are army, navy, air force, marine and coast guard moms. Bumper stickers advertise moms of honor students and college moms. Ribbon magnets mark the cars of moms with specialneeds children. Moms drive cars and minivans with license-plate frames that announce, “From the diamond to the dance studio;” “Final score: Boys, 3, Girls, 2.” Or, bumper stickers that boldly state: “I fear nothing. I have triplets.”

Some moms can make gourmet meals out of leftovers. Others can sew clothes that look like

haute couture, but are really new creations culled from the best features in fashion magazine pictures and cut from homemade patterns in newspaper. All moms can kiss boo-boos and make the hurt go away. Such a heroine deserves a special day.

Attempts to set aside a day to honor mothers in the United States began during the Civil War. But nothing official happened until the beginning of the 20th century. West Virginia was the first state to officially celebrate Mother’s Day in 1912. President Woodrow Wilson signed the first presidential proclamation naming the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day in 1914.

Mother’s Day is the day set aside to honor the one person all people have in common: Mom. How children show love and appreciation to their mothers on her special day depends of course on what mom wants. Some moms like to be treated to a special meal where someone else does the cooking, serving and cleaning up. Some moms like a special piece of jewelry. Still others just like to spend quiet time with their family at home or a special location – no having to be the chauffeur to a practice, game, meet or recital.

A mom who subtly hints (or announces) that she wants to be treated to a special meal on Mother’s Day, might suggest Piper’s Café, 2130 W. Southport Rd., (www.PipersCafe.com) at SR 37. Piper’s has been at its current location since 2007. Owner/chef Will Osgood started the original Piper’s American Café 24 years ago and selected the name to honor his mother, Anne Piper Osgood. “We started serving ‘comfort food’ before it was cool,” Osgood says. “People really like those feel-good foods such as Swiss steak, meatloaf and chicken pot pie. So, we keep them on the menu.” And just as Mom would do, everything is made from scratch using the freshest ingredients.

Piper’s Cafe

Mallow Run Winery

Piper’s is open for lunch Monday through Friday, 11 a.m.-2 p.m.; and for dinner, Monday through Thursday, 5-9 p.m., Friday and Saturday, 5-10 p.m. “We are generally not open on Sundays, to be a blessing to our employees and their families; but on Mother’s Day we will seat customers from 11 a.m.-5 p.m.” says Osgood. He added that reservations are recommended for Mother’s Day. “We’ll be offering our signature comfort food, in addition to steaks, chicken, seafood, prime rib and New England chicken.” Piper’s signature New England chicken was created

by Osgood and featured in the March 1992 issue of Bon Appetit magazine. New England chicken is a tender boneless skinless chicken breast sautéed with fresh pears, deglazed with apple schnapps, apple cider and brandy.

Piper’s also has a catering division that can make any wedding, corporate or special event memorable. “We cater over 250 weddings every year,” Osgood says. “We can cater an event with 24 hours notice, but of course, the more time to plan, the better.”

Catering menus vary from breakfasts, to box lunches to formal sit-down dinners. Call (317) 888-7667 for more information.

If Mom appreciates quiet drives, live music and fine wine, take her on a short drive out to Bargersville and Mallow Run Winery for complimentary wine tasting, tours by appointment and, on Mother’s Day, live music on the patio from 2-5 p.m.

Mallow Run (www.mallowrun.com) will be open on Mother’s Day from noon to 6 p.m. and will also offer moderately priced light appetizer plates such as a fruit and cheese plate and a fresh veggie plate with pita and hummus. There will also be something sweet offered to satisfy the sweet tooth. Mallow Run Winery is located at 6964 W. Whiteland Rd., between SR 37 and Morgantown Road.

Bill and Laura Richardson manage eight acres of vineyards on the family’s 600-acre farm. According to the web site, nearly 600 vines are growing on each of the eight acres of grapes now planted at Mallow Run. On those eight acres are eight varieties of grapes putting down roots and searching for sunlight.

Vines include American and French-hybrid varieties that are more tolerant of cold Indiana winters than more recognizable varieties, such as merlot or chardonnay. These hybrids are

a gift set which includes a sterling silver Pandora bracelet, two clips, and a couple of bead options to choose from for Mother’s Day. “Oh, and don’t forget grandmothers,” Cole adds. “Lockets with the grandchildren’s pictures are a great idea and can be easily updated with new photos.” Mother’s rings are great tributes to a mom and her children, but Cole suggests waiting to get a mother’s ring until no new additions are expected, because adding a stone to an existing ring can be difficult. To get around this potential problem, Cole offers this solution: “Stackable rings are a great modern spin to the more traditional mother’s ring,” says Cole. “Instead of one stone in the ring representing one child, stackables are worn with each ring representing a child. Stackable rings are available in sterling silver or gold and are great for women who like wide rings because you often wear more than one.” Another option is the Debbie Pendant charms Brooks collection, offers Cole. and diamond “We offer Debbie Brooks designer stud earrings wallets, handbags, and iPhone4 from JL Johnson’s covers. The wallets are convertible Fine Jewelry to a wristlet or shoulder bag, but are still small enough to fit inside a larger purse or diaper bag for convenience.” And every Mom likes convenience.

‘Super’ Band Leader Torres is High School Teacher of the Year

By Rich Brown

Josh Torres and his family on the field at Super Bowl XLVI.

Center Grove Community High School teacher Josh Torres took his band students to the 2012 Super Bowl, but to his band kids and fellow staff members, he was already pretty super. That’s why he was selected as this year’s high school Teacher of the Year.

America Grand National Championships in Indianapolis. However, he says, “It wasn’t until high school that I really blossomed as a player. It’s funny to look back on it now because one of our biggest rivals during my high school years was Center Grove!”

“It has been a humbling experience to be selected for the Teacher of the Year award,” Torres says. “I keep a pretty low profile, so I never really expected to be honored by my peers. It really meant a lot to know that my colleagues were aware of the work that I have been doing down in the band area.”

Torres’ teaching career started at Denton (TX) High School, but in 2006, he moved to Center Grove. Torres’ career at Center Grove originally had him leading percussions with the band, and only later assuming complete leadership of the group. Then of course, in 2011, came news of what would be one of his career highlights.

The 31-year-old band instructor got involved in band during middle school.

His interest was piqued, especially in the percussion area, after seeing Bands of

company that helps make sure that artist fits into the scheme that the Super Bowl Halftime show requires. Madonna’s people then communicates any needs (ranging from additional performers to stage needs) to the production company and they help make it a reality. At some point, the phone call came from Madonna’s people that they need a 100-member drum line for the halftime show. The production company had a contact who worked for Drum Corps International. She recommended me based up the record of accomplishment of Center Grove High School’s Percussion Program. I was completely stunned to receive the phone call. Of course, my answer was we’ll do anything to be a part of Super Bowl XLVI.”

Other Award Winners Mr. Torres is but one of the outstanding teachers in the Center Grove school system. Each year, the Center Grove school district selects a teacher from all of its schools for the Teacher of the Year Award. These awards are given to teachers who have gone above and beyond the normal call of duty in order to enhance the lives and learning of their students. The following are recognized for outstanding work within their school.

Torres calls the night a “surreal experience.” “We were in awe when we stepped out onto the field to play for all of those people. I was definitely a bit nervous, but I wasn’t going to let that spoil the experience of playing alongside Kelly Clarkson,” Torres says.

The Super Bowl was just one more landmark achievement for an instructor who also led his band to win a Silver and Bronze at the 2009 and 2010 WGI Championships, finishing second and third out of more than 100 groups.

Torres is not content with the success of the past, though. In the future, he hopes to involve his band more with music of other cultures. “We’ve recently started ensembles focusing on Brazilian, African, and Afro-Cuban Percussion. That’s not only going to be lots of fun, but it will open up a whole new musical dimension for our students.” cg

Long Ago, But Not So Far Away...

Johnson County Museum Chronicles 200 Years of History

by Ann Craig-Cinnamon | Photos by John Cinnamon

As you zoom through the busy intersection of State Road 135 and Stones Crossing with its McDonald’s, Marsh Supermarket and strip malls, ponder this: 200 years ago this same area was being traversed by Conestoga wagons. In fact, it was considered an important crossroads for pioneers as they were heading west. I’ll bet those pioneers would have found the drive through at McDonald’s pretty handy after a long, dusty ride across the Indiana plain. That little tidbit is just one of the many interesting things I learned about the history of our area during a recent visit to the Johnson County Museum of History in Franklin.

I

guess I’ve been living under a Center Grove rock, because I didn’t even know there was a Johnson County Museum of History and I’ve lived in Johnson County for more than 30 years! Not only do we have a very nice museum but it has 30,000 artifacts and just celebrated its 80th birthday. It was originally housed in the Franklin Courthouse but had to move out during World War II. After a few relocations it finally found its permanent home in the 1980’s in the old 180 year old restored log cabin Masonic Temple on Main Street just a couple of blocks from the Courthouse Square and just down the street from the Artcraft Theater. I’ve been by it many times but just didn’t see it. You would think the log cabin that sits next to it and is the Museum’s prized possession might have caught my attention. It’s not every day that you see a 180 year old fully restored log cabin on a busy city street.

We toured the exhibits with the Museum’s Director, Brenna Cundiff and the Museum Board’s Secretary, John Richardson, who has been actively involved with the Museum for more than a decade. John spent much of his life teaching English in Southern Indiana but came back to his family’s farm in Center Grove to retire. Retire? Well, he hasn’t exactly been rocking on the front porch. His plan was to grow grapes for Indiana wineries. Not long after, he decided to make the wine himself and Mallow Run Winery was born. The winery sits on the Mallow/Richardson farm that has been in the family since John’s great great grandfather, George Mallow, staked out the land off Stones Crossing just west of Morgantown Rd. back in the 1830’s. In fact, John still lives in the house that he was born in and that all of his ancestors have lived in since it was built in 1835. John is so obviously proud of this and deservedly so in a society that often seems to place little value on preserving things built by previous generations. I’ll bet John’s great great grandfather never imagined that the home and farm that he labored long and hard and sweated over would not only still be standing and thriving almost 200 years later, but that it would be a living testament to what can be accomplished with hard work and perseverance. Can you imagine how hard that life must have been back then? He traveled here to start a new

life, bringing with him his wife and 8 children. Everything they owned could fit in a wagon and I don’t mean a station wagon.

It’s rather ironic that the house and farm built by pioneers back in 1835 is today surrounded by tract after tract of big modern homes that have every conceivable convenience. And yet it’s May 2012 |

still there and it’s still producing. George Mallow isn’t the only member of his family who has made the most of the land. John is doing it too.

John’s interest in the Museum is understandable in light of the fact that he can trace his family’s history to the very beginnings of settlement in Johnson County and, more specifically, the Center Grove area. He looked a bit surprised when I suggested that his was one of the founding families of our community and replied with simply “I guess you could say that”. You never know, maybe your family came here on a wagon too. You can find out by using

The Museum is a mini time machine with the time travel clock starting in the early 1800’s when the Miami and Delaware Indians had permanent settlements here. That’s before they got kicked out in 1818. There are stops in pioneer days, the Civil War era, Victorian Times, World War II and all the way to the rockin’ 1950’s. I’m guessing that those Conestoga wagons were rockin’ as they rode over the rocky, untraveled terrain on their way to their new home in the Indiana territory. A Museum donor actually found the sideboard off a real 200 year old wagon in their barn and it is proudly displayed in the pioneer hall of the Museum. It is believed to have come from the Hopewell Community which settled here and was very important in the development of the area. That’s another reason to never throw anything away.

It might be an historical artifact! Another valued Museum collection piece is a Civil War flag that was carried in battle by Billy Davis who was from Johnson County. It’s a little torn and faded, but you would be too if you were 150 years old and had been through a war. Another war, World War II, is highlighted in an exhibit that features Edinburgh’s Camp Atterbury which was an important military facility both then and now. A littleknown fact about Camp Atterbury is that it was home to the largest hospital in the country at one time. Edinburgh was also home to Shaffer’s Drugstore that opened its doors back in the 1920’s. The Museum inherited items from the store such as antique prescription bottles and old medications that are part of a permanent display depicting the old drugstore.

While there are a few over the counter medications that you might recognize such as Tums and Milk Center Grove of Magnesia, there’s High schoool also some strange items 1922 boy’s basketball team. such as “Purgative Tablets” that I don’t antique items even want to know their from the 1920 Shaffer’s intended purpose. drugstore.

Center Grove High schoool, circa 1900. museum board secretary, john richardson, remembering the meridian drive-in theatre.

The trip through time ends with the old soda fountain from Nick’s Candy Kitchen which was a popular teen hangout in Franklin back in the 1950’s and a display from the Meridian Drive-In which ran it’s double features where Meijer now hawks its wares on State Road 135 in the Center Grove area.

Brenna says the Museum of History changes exhibits every year to freshen things up and bring out artifacts that have not been on display. And they are always looking for historically interesting items and experts in certain fields for their oral history program. If you’ve got a collection that you are especially proud of you could loan it to the Museum for its “Collector’s Closet”. There are special programs every month, a community room that is free for groups to use and an auditorium that can be rented for special events like weddings. “The museum is important because it highlights the culture of the community”, John says. And, he adds, “Our history is fascinating”.

All in all, the Johnson County Museum of History was a pleasant surprise. No need to drive an hour up the road to Conner Prairie when you can bring the family for a tour of the Hendrick’s cabin from 1835 complete with re-enactors, check out the museum exhibits and then walk down the street to catch an old classic movie at the Artcraft. Perhaps, like me, you’ll learn a thing or two about the community in which we live. cg Ann Craig-Cinnamon is a 30 year Radio & TV Broadcast veteran.

Invest in your

Nest

Open Your Door to Spring!

By Pat Carlini

S

before

pring is here and that means the lawn is turning green, the flowers pots are showing up on the front porch and the entryway to your home is getting more attention once again.

A beautiful front door makes a great first impression, but if your door is showing signs of wear and tear as in the case of the Whelan family, it may be time to Invest in Your Nest and makeover your front door. after Instead of replacing their worn wooden front door, the Whelan family opted to restore the finish on their existing door – giving them a refreshed and welcoming entrance to their home.

“I like the door and the glass inserts, but it just looks worn and the finish is peeling off in spots,� says Mrs. Whelan. “As I was exploring my options, I heard about refinishing your front door to look new again,� Whelan added.

Wood doors are most often used in a custom design situation as they make a gracious elegant entrance to a home and are very versatile when it comes to design.

They come with side lights, transoms and decorative glass that are all easy to install in wood front doors.

On the other hand, wood doors do take a beating from the elements over time. Harsh winters, hot summers, and even Fido the family dog, all scratch away at the wood door’s finish resulting in a worn-looking entryway that does not exactly express a friendly welcome to approaching guests.

So, for a fraction of the cost of buying a new door, you can have your wood front door restored to its like new condition at your home.

“It can be a little messy,” says Jon of Furniture Fix, LLC, a Brownsburg company that refinishes doors and all types of commercial and residential furniture. “Most people are not able to go without a front door for a couple of days so, we have to do the work right there at the home,” he said.

The process begins by covering the area all around the front door so no stain gets on the house.

“We need to leave the door open a few inches during the process, so spring time is a great time to refinish the front door,” he adds.

The door is then stripped and sanded and allowed to dry for a few hours before the stain is applied.

The homeowner can choose the same color or a new stain

“It is really a 2 day process,” says Jon. “The weather plays a big part in this job; if it is too hot the stain takes a long time to dry.”

Making ¢ents

By Kate Rhoten

The Importance of Saving for Emergencies Budgeting was the focus of my column last month and I planned to dig more into that this month, but since then, my life had an unexpected speed bump. When an emergency happens, how do we take care of it? Where does the money come from? Do you use a credit card? Do you have adequate savings that can take care of it?

Have you planned for the unexpected?

I’m sure we all have at times found ourselves at some stage of our lives with just not enough money for the unexpected. As I recall my earlier years as an adult, I didn’t think about years down the road, a few months from now, let alone next week. I lived in the moment and scrambled when things went wrong. Savings is an integral part of planning and budgeting.

When we don’t have any money set aside, that’s when Murphy comes knocking. It always happens that way. Are you prepared for your next emergency? Do you have at least $1000 set aside for when Murphy comes knocking?

Putting a little money aside each month to build the emergency fund is a behavior that can and must be learned. But you can do it. Put savings in the budget and stick to the budget. We need to be better at savings. The Federal Reserve reported in March that savings as a percentage of disposable personal income was 3.7%, down from January’s rate of 4.3%. This may sound good, but it’s not. This amount is taken from what is left over from your paycheck after your required expenses like housing, utilities, transportation and food have been paid. We have choices as to what we do with this discretionary money.

It’s important to save. No one knows when the car will break down, the dryer will stop working or the water heater stops heating water for showers. I’ve experienced all three of these and it’s not fun, but with an emergency fund of just $1000, you don’t need to worry about how to pay for these emergencies.

Return back to present day. The news I received had me on a plane to my home state the next morning to see a very special friend that was not going to be with us much longer.

Fortunately for my family, this was easy enough to react to without wondering where the money would come from or how the plane ticket would get purchased. We don’t have a credit card by choice, but we do have an emergency fund (6 months of expenses) that allowed the ticket to be purchased via debit card. I would have spent the whole $1000 to make it back to see my friend. That is an emergency, not some meal I won’t remember next week or shoes that I will eventually get tired of in a few months. Re-evaluate and execute to have a real emergency fund if you don’t already, it makes the emergency much more tolerable. Happy saving. cg Kate is a financial expert of what to do and not do with money as well as owner of 4 Walls Financial, A Coaching Focused Company.
