HISTORIC HOMES
TOWN TREASURES TO CELEBRATE AND EDUCATE According to NPA President, Geof Odle, Business Development Officer with Community Bank, historic preservation begins with education and communication at all levels of the community.

In a very real sense, they are community treasures. Historic homes…if their walls could talk, what tales of Noblesville’s early years they might tell! A wonderful opportunity to see inside these homes takes place each year, thanks to the efforts of sponsors and volunteers coordinated by the Noblesville Preservation Alliance (NPA). The 28th annual Noblesville Tour of Historic Homes takes place Saturday, September 20. Its purpose is to celebrate and educate visitors to ‘Old Town’ about the charms and historical attributes of the nine private residences and two cultural sites that will be open to visitors on the tour.
28TH ANNUAL TOUR TAKES PLACE IN ‘OLD TOWN’ NOBLESVILLE ON SEPTEMBER 20TH “I’ve rarely missed one of the tours,” states Connie Foor, enthusiastically. “For years and years, I gathered my friends and we’d drive over from Carmel. I’d imagine owning one of these architectural treasures. Then, as soon as my husband and I became empty-nesters, we bought one of our own.” Now, the couple invite visitors to tour their 1912 home at 875 S. Foor St., which is featured for the second time this year. The first time was nearly a decade ago, and since then, the avid antique collectors have added numerous collectibles, many that are family heirlooms. They’ve also fashioned a new room in the back of the home, relandscaped the lily pond and filled their old-fashioned garden with an overflowing display of colorful perennials. And with six grandchildren, the small building at the back of the property quite naturally has become a playhouse. Connie says, “We love being part of the tour. Each homeowner brings unique aspects to the mix. Showing our home as one of them, especially to visitors new to the tour and coming from outside the area, is something Mike and I truly enjoy.” The NPA is showcasing eight other homes this year (see sidebar) as well as two properties in the Historic Downtown area that qualify as historic buildings. According to Geof Odle, NPA president, the alliance is proud of the work they are doing to protect, preserve and restore many of Noblesville’s historic treasures. This year marks the beginning of a new focus for the NPA: outreach, collaboration, communication and education. Odle is firm in his belief that preserving historic
homes and businesses continues to make Noblesville the destination place that it is today. “Noblesville is the seat of Hamilton County, and we celebrate the unique properties of our ‘Old Town’ during the home tour each year. Our goal is to continue to develop the historic downtown area with preservation in mind.” Proceeds benefit NPA for use in funding facade grants for Noblesville’s historic homes.

PARTY WITH THE DUCKS
NOBLESVILLE’S WHITE RIVER CELEBRATION Writer / Tracy Line Photographer / Cindy Goyer
More heads are better than one. This was the idea when key leaders within the city came together to organize Noblesville’s White River Celebration. The event, to be held Saturday, September 13, is a daylong festival dedicated to celebrating the White River. While Noblesville has long offered events on the river, they’ve previously been organized independently. “We had all these activities,” says Darren Peterson, “but they were severely disjointed.” Peterson, a board member for Main Street and a Development Committee member for Nickel Plate Arts, began brainstorming with Tim Stottlemyer, MS4 Program Manager for the city, on how to bring structure to the events. The two collaborated with the city, Main Street and Nickel Plate Arts to create this unique one-day celebration. “It’s a bit of a social experiment,” says Peterson. “There is no one chairman; it’s a grassroots effort.” The experiment appears to have worked: the event offers a full lineup of activities sure to please everyone. atNoblesville.com / SEPTEMBER 2014 / NOBLESVILLE / 5

There will also be games for kids, a beer garden for adults, and best of all, “there will be cake!” says Cindy Benedict of Vision Noblesville. With Main Street and The Belfry turning 50 and the White River Clean Up celebrating 20 years, cake seems appropriate.

JOHN FREED
CREATING A MOVEMENT OF LOVE Writer / Rebecca Cola
Love is defined as the unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another. When you talk with John Freed, he drops that four-letter word in almost every sentence. In his 34 years, John is a man who has already done incredible things. He has touched the lives of the homeless, children of all ages and socio-economic levels, the abused, and those with addictions and mental health issues in Hamilton County.
He rallies, motivates and encourages people by sharing love. When I was able to reach him by phone to chat with him, he expressed incredible gratitude for my taking the time to reach out to him. A busy man, but a humble man. When I asked John to explain a little about himself, he started talking about his movement of love. John is the founding and lead pastor at Waterline Church in Noblesville. John has a B.S. and M.A.
from Indiana Wesleyan University in Christian Ministries and Leadership with a concentration in learning the art of communication with Generation Y. Not only is he an ordained minister, but he is a certified life coach specializing in leadership development. When you visit or become a member of the Waterline Church; you don’t go for church, you go for the experience. I asked John what exactly that experience was, and he invited me to one that night.

I asked for John. They pointed out a man in black basketball shorts in a line of 25 youths and adults getting ready to shoot some free throws. John came over to greet me. His Hollywood looks are reinforced with cool blue-gray eyes that open the window to a genuine soul. I presented him with the daisy—the “she loves me, she loves me not” flower. He was thrilled. “I follow the teachings of Ghandi and Martin Luther King, Jr.,” he said as he smiled. “It doesn’t matter what religion you are, it’s simple; love God, love others, love people you hate. My dad started a church in a bar. The bikers felt safe and comfortable in that environment so that’s where he created a church. When people lose hope, you give them hope; when people are lost, you give them direction. What I try to do is give On my way to meet John, I grabbed a daisy from my yard. With all the talk of love, it just people a purpose and that’s through love.” seemed like the perfect ice-breaker. I was John was in the middle of a movement of at Deer Chase Apartments in Noblesville, near their playground and basketball court. love that week. Members of the church were
creating an experience of positive energy with the apartment complex’s children with games, snacks, stories, treats, art and fun. The focus for the week was values, and all the activities were free for the participants. Tonight’s topic was endurance. They were acting out the story of the Tortoise and the Hare. There were more than 100 people there that night. No pressure, no religion, no in-your-face come to Jesus meeting. What was there was a lot of fun and a lot of love. When I left, I truly believed that if John plucked the petals off that daisy, all of them would say, “she loves me, she loves me, she loves me…” For more information on John Freed and the Waterline Church, visit their website waterlinechurch.com or connect with them through social media on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook.

When you “THINK SNOW!” you should conjure up images of the Indianapolis Ski Club. While Indianapolis may not be synonymous with snow skiing, there is a group of nearly 300 snow enthusiasts who are members of the Indianapolis ski club. The club has been in existence for almost 60 years and still promotes friendships and great ski trips! Club President Lisa Sindelar said that is exactly what the club is all about—making friends and skiing great mountains. “The bonus is the hassle free travel that comes The US trips start at a little more than $1,300 per member – more for European trips. Trips are for members only, but it’s easy to join and with being a club member,” Sindelar said. the club always welcomes new members! Sindelar said trips are planned with almost everything included, For more information, go to Indyskiclub.org. from lift tickets to transportation to lodging. “It’s just a great way to enjoy a ski trip,” Sinedelar said. Lisa joined the club in 2002 after talking to a club member in the winter sports section of Galyans.
Pat Carlini is an experienced television/radio personality associated with NBC in Indianapolis and the syndicated Bob & Tom Show. She can be contacted at patcarlini.com.
“I didn’t know there was a ski club in Indy,” Sinedelar said. “I went home, looked up the website, attended a social event and joined!” Lisa has since married a club member and has enjoyed several trips with the club. Fellow skier and Lawrence resident Joan Naffziger has been a member of the club since 1992 and has been a volunteer “go-to” person on several trips. “It’s so much fun traveling with a group of fellow skiers and friends.” Naffziger said, “It makes it much more bearable when you get stuck in a blizzard in Minneapolis, too!” This year the Indianapolis Ski Club has six trips planned for the upcoming season in the western United States and Europe. In January, they kick off their line up of trips at Banff in Alberta, Canada. Trips to SteamBoat, Winter Park and Beaver Creek in Colorado are scheduled in February. Also a European trip is planned to Cortina, Italy, and Madonna di Campiglio, a popular ski resort in Northeast Italy, scheduled for March 2015. The group’s final trip of the season offered is Big Sky Montana— a favorite by many—in March. TownePost.com / SEPTEMBER 2014 / TOWNEPOST MEDIA NETWORK

MIDWEST PAIN & SPINE ADDS NEW PHYSICIAN TO ITS TEAM GREAT NEWS FOR ACUTE OR CHRONIC BACK OR SPINE PAIN SUFFERS! Writer / Neil Lucas
Dr. Steven Levine
Dr. Steven Levine is pleased to announce Midwest Pain & Spine has added Dr. Kent B. Remley to its team of physicians dedicated to providing the highest quality non-invasive diagnosis and treatments for chronic back and spine pain sufferers. Dr. Remley joins Levine and Dr. William Hall at Midwest Pain & Spine.
Dr. Remley, a graduate of IU School of Medicine, is an Interventional Neuroradiologist specializing in minimally invasive spine surgery as well as diagnostic and therapeutic injection procedures of the head, neck and spine. Prior to practicing in Atlanta and Indianapolis he served as an assistant professor of Radiology and
Otolaryngology and director of ENT/ Head and Neck Imaging at the University Of Minnesota and was a clinical instructor in Neuroradiology at the University of California, San Francisco. Dr. Remley’s area of special expertise and research focuses on the treatment of osteoporotic spinal fractures utilizing minimally invasive surgical techniques. This means that Dr. Remley is specially trained to treat fractures caused by osteoporosis, a disease in which the bones become extremely porous and are thereby subject to fracture, and heal slowly. As many of you may know, this occurs especially in women following menopause, but can also arise with men. In addition, Dr. Remley is a well-published writer and lectures nationally in the fields of minimally invasive spine surgery and interventional neuroradiology. He serves on the scientific advisory board for Benvenue and is a consultant for Joimax

The addition of these procedures as well as many more will allow us to offer superior improvement in our patients lifestyles.” “I am pleased to join Midwest Pain
and Spine,” Dr. Remley says. “I have 25 years of experience as an Interventional Neuroradiologist diagnosing and treating disorders of the head, neck, and spine. I am also board certified in Interventional Pain management, specializing in spinal cord stimulator therapy, interventional treatment of migraine headaches, and interventional spine pain management.

T
en years ago, Sue Zilisch peered out of her Broad Ripple home and thought, “This neighborhood is ripe for a home tour, one that celebrates the history of the community through the stories of its houses.” So—Sue and a small army of friends “accosted” home owners and scheduled the first “Bungalows of Broad Ripple” tour. As researchers conducted interviews and delved into abstracts of titles, city directories and genealogical sites to bring out the stories that were hidden within the walls of the tour homes, the name soon morphed into the Broad Ripple Historic Home Tour. This year’s celebratory event (Saturday, September 27 from 10:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m.) features a home that appeared on the first tour—its claim to fame being that it was a Sears “kit home.” For many years, the Sears Roebuck Company offered floor plans and building materials to prospective home owners. Building components—from lumber to nails—were numbered and shipped to the customer, who either hired a contractor or took on the task himself. Another feature of this year’s tour is the recently opened Broad Ripple Hotel. A late 1880s brick house and an early 20th century bungalow have been tied together to form a charming boutique hotel.

teve Cooke of Noblesville is one of countless Ford Hoosier Outdoor Experience success stories.
The sixth annual event, sponsored by Central Indiana Ford Dealers, is Sept. 20 and 21 at Fort Harrison State Park in Indianapolis, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. both days. Admission is free, as are parking and all activities. Cooke attended the first event in 2009 with the goal of learning about fly-fishing. He took a brief lesson and was hooked. He followed up with professional lessons from Patti Beasley of Reel Women-Reel Men fly club in Indianapolis. He now fishes the White River in Central Indiana for panfish and Brookville Lake’s tailwaters on the Whitewater River in southeastern Indiana for trout.
Although fly-fishing is not part of this year’s event, about 50 other outdoor activities will be offered by some 120 grassroots organizations. All activities take place in the 1,700-acre state park. Activities available will range from archery to mountain biking and more.
Information on trolley routes, a listing of all events and directions to parking areas can be found at HoosierOutdoorExperience. IN.gov. While it’s not required, visitors are encouraged to register at the website before they attend. This helps in planning the event.
Trolleys from the State Fair roll through the grounds, and activities are clustered to make each stop action-packed.
The programming is essentially the same both days. Participants are welcome to come either or both days.
Beat the Fall Rush & Make your Backyard Dreams a Reality
“Fly-fishing is my outlet,” Cooke said. “I like the serenity of being in nature.” Organized by the Department of Natural Resources and Indiana Natural Resources Foundation, this is Indiana’s largest handson outdoor recreation event. Last year a record 32,000 people participated. The idea is to get more Hoosiers interested in outdoor recreation. The concept came about because nationwide participation rates in many traditional outdoor sports have been declining. In Indiana, the number of licensed hunters and anglers has remained relatively stable over the past few decades. This sounds comforting, said Bourke Patton, director of the Indiana Natural Resources Foundation, until you consider that the number hasn’t kept pace with the state’s overall population growth. Conservationists worry that if the trend isn’t reversed, fewer Americans will care about protecting natural resources. “The whole point is to get people to embrace the outdoors,” Patton said. “It’s about taking people who have little outdoor knowledge, or even no outdoor knowledge, and showing them what’s available and how to do it.”

The fashion show begins at 7:30 p.m., and features newly created apparel made from repurposed Race for the Cure® T-shirts. Each unique piece has been designed by students from The Art Institute of Indianapolis. The T-shirts aren’t the only regenerated materials. This year, committee members have constructed distinctive decorations from posters, adding a more creative flair to this upscale experience.
Central Indiana. “This allows us to put all our funds raised toward our mission to end breast cancer. Of donations received, 75 percent of net proceeds stay in Central Indiana to fund lifesaving breast screenings, treatment assistance and survivor support to underinsured and uninsured Hoosiers; while 25 percent of net proceeds are invested in international research seeking causes, improved treatments and cures for breast cancer.” There will be a new panel of judges this year that will select the winning design including long snapper Matt Overton from the Indianapolis Colts and Helen Wells of the Helen Wells Agency. Also models will have a chance to win a popular vote by soliciting $1 donations from friends and family members in the audience. “We changed our venue this year in hopes to grow this event,” Schmitz said. “We wanted to expand the appeal to a broader audience. We’re excited to have City Market, an exceptional setting with a modern, chic, urban feel that captures a new look for Project Pink.” Live entertainment will be provided by DJ Gabby Love with Crush Entertainment. The emcee will be Tom Britt, founder and publisher of Geist and Fishers Community Newsletters.
The models are local survivors, co-survivors and celebrities such as Pippa Mann, who ran a pink car in the Indianapolis 500 this year Project Pink has raised more than $20,000 to partner with Komen to help raise money for Komen Central Indiana in the past two and awareness. years and has touched the lives of many local breast cancer survivors. In July, Komen “Since we do not have a budget for Project held an open call for survivors interested in Pink, we rely on in-kind donations to make modeling for Project Pink. They submitted this event happen,” said Sarah Schmitz, stories and reasons why they wanted to walk Operations Manager of Susan G. Komen on the runway.

One survivor, Jennifer Spees, expressed her interests and passion for the event. “I will celebrate five months cancer free on Aug. 19,” Spees said. “I was 44 when diagnosed, in the best shape of my life, as I was training for my first marathon. I had no history of breast cancer, and my genetic testing was negative. I have two daughters who now know a great deal about breast cancer and are advocates for a cure. They were two of my biggest cheerleaders throughout chemo, surgery and radiation. Having cancer, I knew I had to show them that you can do anything and be strong doing it! I would love to teach the girls another life lesson, that no matter how tall or how
much hair you have, you can be a model and be proud of yourself. I would like to be considered for the Project Pink Fashion show to send a message to my girls and the world you can do anything. Never give up.” “It is stories like this one that encourage and inspire us to make Project Pink bigger and better every year,” Schmitz said. Janet C. Striebel is a Fishers resident and freelance writer. She and her husband, Doug, have three children: Ryan, Jessica and Justin. She has been writing for atGeist.com for more than seven years and claims that the best part is meeting all the interesting people in her community.

A Lighthearted Look at the Art of Gabriel Lehman Writer / Janet Gilray
atNoblesville.com / SEPTEMBER 2014 / NOBLESVILLE / 25
Noblesville_09-14.indd 25
8/26/14 10:21 AM
rtists have fascinated viewers with subjects seemingly sculpted from light, in oils on canvas, for centuries. A few of the earliest and best known, Caravaggio, Lanfranco or Rembrandt, may come to mind, or a later artist, perhaps a Renoir, Rousseau, or Parrish. And of course, there’s the artist who is your own personal favorite.
A
But now, a new face in the arts community is captivating viewers with his use of light: Gabriel Lehman. Using acrylic paint to stunningly illuminate playful subject matter, light is a hallmark quality of this Noblesville artist. New on the local art scene—arriving two short years ago—Lehman is already building a buzz and a distinct following in a remarkably short time. The reason? Viewing Lehman’s work is absolutely riveting. Those casually passing by do double-takes as exuberant subjects whimsically float, dance, bike and dream across surreal landscapes amid puff y clouds. Those who pause to take a deeper look at his paintings invariably go away with cheerier expressions and lighter hearts. That’s when this new-to-Hamilton County artist feels he’s met his goal. “I celebrate the light within, the light that illuminates the human spirit.” Lehman goes on to explain that the personal challenge in
each of his paintings is finding the essence of the subject and illuminating it using indirect light. “Truth is projected by the light within. Light evidences who we are as individuals and how we live. I celebrate the light that comes from within the human spirit. God gave me this gift. I’m just trying to use it the best I can!” Born in North Dakota and raised in Indiana, Lehman is a relative newcomer to Hamilton County, finding much to celebrate around his new studio-home near the courthouse square. “Individual celebration of life’s little moments—this is what I work to capture. I constantly watch for people caught up in the joy. For example, this morning I saw a woman riding a bike. She stopped by a planter filled with flowers. She was taken in by their beauty—and she really, really looked at the flowers. She lit up with happiness. Then she rode on. She had taken time to celebrate the beauty.” In his next breath, Lehman continues, “Because of this, I often tell people: life’s not all about work…but, ha! I should listen to myself. I work constantly. It just seems that when I paint, time flies…12-16 hours pass so quickly. I live and work at my studio, so I paint every day. Sometimes I catch myself thinking, hey, you should eat: you should
sleep, but oftentimes painting is such fun work! As well it should be. It’s work, but it’s not like curing cancer. No one dies if paint isn’t applied right!”
A SELF-TAUGHT ARTIST WHO LARGELY LEARNS BY WATCHING FILMS…
Lehman credits filmmakers as an influential group who share his love of light. “Teams of people devoted to capturing light are assembled....I pay close attention to what they do and how they work with it.” Lehman also cites a number of painters who have influenced and inspired him. He lauds classical German painters for their mastery of shape, shade and hidden light sources and several more contemporary artists, including Rene Magritte, Salvador Dali, and Dr. Seuss(!). “The artists whose work I enjoy most excel at making things look and feel real when they paint from imagination.”
MUSIC FUELS LEHMAN’S CREATIVE FIRES AND BRINGS BALANCE TO HIS WORK
In addition to a ‘day job,’ Lehman has played music as side work for years. His natural affinity for music causes him to depend on music while he paints, to heighten his

“I celebrate the light within, the light that illuminates the human spirit.”
creativity and maintain his momentum. “Music inspires me to push boundaries— especially music by independent musicians who incorporate unusual sound effects into their mix. I love surprise elements, for instance, a creaking door…anything unexpected.” As he encounters these new musical elements, they flow into his work and provide mental exercise. At the same time, bulky brushes and quick strokes provide physical exercise. To maximize his workout, he switches his brush, hand to hand.
From there he moved to Wilmington, NC, and there discovered his interest in painting. His interest strengthened to the point it finally took precedence over his music. “I just realized one day, that I felt happier painting than I did playing music. I grew obsessed with paint. I fell in love with it! Paint became my world. I started living paint…hour after hour…day after day.”
Continuing to speak of the importance of relationships with his clients, Lehman says, “I’m very grateful that I wasn’t picked up by an agent. In selling my own work, I’ve made so many wonderful friends among the people who collect my paintings.” While some of Lehman’s collectors live as far away as New York and he briefly considered moving there, it was encouragement from family in Indiana who caused him make his decision to return to his home state.
Then, in 2010, Lehman had his first show of 38 small pieces. “I sold out! I had nothing left. All 30 paintings—gone! Sure, the price “I moved home to Indiana knowing I had point was low ($100-$400), but c’mon, how a good following around Indianapolis.

HARVEST TRAIN OFFERS HOMEGROWN COUNTRY FUN Writer / Krista Shields
After a record year last year, the Indiana Transportation Museum (ITM) and Hamilton Heights Future Farmers of America (FFA) are hoping for a repeat ride aboard the Harvest Train. The only difference is the students and leaders of the FFA will be growing their own pumpkins this year. With the great growing weather, there promises to be plenty of pumpkins in the patch—maybe even more than the 3,000 sold last year. Visitors’ Service Manager Becky Cola said the train will run every weekend in October out of Noblesville and Fishers to the pumpkin patch between Cicero and Atlanta. One train will go in the morning and one in the afternoon. “It all depends on the weather,” Cola said. “Last year the first weekend was horrible because of the rain, but after that, we had record numbers. I recommend people dress for the occasion. This is out in the country, out in a field, and we go rain or shine.” Cola estimates that around 2,500 passengers rode the Harvest Train last year.
FFA leader Tony Morris said the event, now in its 10th year, raises over $10,000 a year, which allows students to take advantage of leadership opportunities, such as camps and conferences. “Honestly, the financial benefits are large,” Morris said. “We have 45-50 kids in FFA and to provide them opportunities costs money.” Morris explained that the event is entirely student-run, meaning they are managing the concession stand, working with Beck’s Hybrids which is where the pumpkins are grown, and making contacts with ITM. “We really try to make it an event, not just go out and pick your pumpkin,” Morris added. Once visitors set foot in the pumpkin patch, they can expect an array of activities, including music and entertainment from the Sheridan Bluegrass Fever. “Last year, they were picking at the destination, but we would like to have them playing on the train as well,” Cola said. The venue also showcases a petting zoo with programs from the FFA members, a concession stand, face painting, games and three different sizes of pumpkins to buy. “Last year we had a lot of birthday
parties aboard the Harvest Train,” Cola said. “People brought cupcakes to eat on the train. It was a lot of fun.” The train ride will also showcase a little history as well. The two stainless steel coaches used on the ride, which were built in 1937 and renovated in the 1960s, are the only matching ones in the country. According to Cola, seating is limited. “Making a reservation ensures a seat,” Cola said. “Remaining tickets—if there are any—are sold on a first-come, first-served basis at the boarding point. There were many disappointed parents and kids who counted on buying tickets at the last minute last year.” The ITM is completely volunteer-run, so the proceeds from the event go to fund the maintenance and operation of the railroad, including track, bridges, signals, cars and locomotives. The Indiana Transportation Museum is an independent, private-sector non-profit institution. It is self-supporting and does not receive any operating subsidies from tax dollars.
