Mark Booth is Director of Student Services for Noblesville Schools

MARK BOOTH EMPOWERING NOBLESVILLE STUDENTS AND THE COMMUNITY

6 / NOBLESVILLE MAGAZINE / APRIL 2016 / atNoblesville.com

Writer / Kara Reibel . Photographer / Brian Brosmer

As Director of Student Services for Noblesville Schools, Mark Booth is creating authentic opportunities for special needs students in the community.

Fostering independence and empowering students is what Mark Booth is all about. “We need to give students with special needs those experiences that normally wouldn’t be a part of their curriculum,” shares Booth, who has over 25 years of experience with 12 of those years at Noblesville Schools.

Booth is head of the College and Career Support Services. This title is a major shift away from “Special Education Department.” “The trend is to improve the semantics instead of naming it after the disability,” shares Booth. “It’s the end game that is important.”

Preparedness starts as early as preschool, these crucial early phases of encouraging “table ready” children with focused attention.

This begins with increments of five, 10 and 15 minutes of helping children at early stages of growth and development.

“If that doesn’t happen at that early age, then it doesn’t carry forward,” says Booth. The focus is on abilities, not disabilities. And with the trickle down effect, the shift is having maximum impact.

Booth has established his place as a trailblazer for students with special needs early on with the national attention-receiving Autism House that he created. This is the ultimate classroom where educators go for training with respect to children with autism. Many districts statewide and nationally have toured it in hopes of replication.

“Simple things like writing the page number on the board for students so that everyone in the classroom knows where the instructor is during the lesson helps a great deal,” shares Booth, providing one example of consideration for all students, not just those with autism. “Things that perhaps weren’t considered before but would make a positive impact in the classroom are what we strive to incorporate. These details, when added into the teaching model, are good for all kids.”

Noblesville Schools have witnessed growth from moving out of self-contained learning practices where all the kids were in one room to kids being out in the school and experiencing inclusion in general education classrooms. “This gives real life learning experiences for ALL students, not just the ones with special needs,” states Booth.

“It has been a privilege to work in partnership with Noblesville Schools on our Project Work sessions. Through this partnership, we’ve found wonderful special needs students to fill some of our important, meaningful positions,” says Pat Fox, President and CEO of Riverview Health. “The students’ joy and dedication to their jobs has been enriching for our staff and has allowed us to be better employees and a better employer.”

“We are fostering independence and getting the kids ready to know how to function in real life jobs outside of their home and school,” says Booth.

In addition to his work inside the district, Booth served on the Board for Special Olympics for Indiana and reached out to the IHSAA for an end result of having special needs athletes competing through Unified Track and Field, which is an IHSAA-sanctioned sport. Noblesville High School finished fourth in the state two years ago, out of almost 200 school districts.

Currently, Booth is working on kindergarten through eighth grade young champions as Noblesville hosts the first event May 13 at the NHS stadium. This is held the day after the “Transition Fair” May 12 at NHS. Booth is President-Elect of the Indiana Council of Administrators of Special Education (ICASE). During his three-year term which begins next year, Booth will represent Indiana special education administrators on both state and federal levels.

ICASE provides leadership and support on special education issues in Indiana by shaping policies and practices which impact the quality of educational experiences for students. With his position as a state leader, Booth will represent Indiana in Washington, D.C., and other conferences.

“Fostering independence is what we are striving for. We are consistently asking how we can do more to help,” shares Booth who worked tirelessly to create opportunities for students with special needs through work, performing arts and athletics.

Please visit noblesvilleschools.org for more information.

This experiential model has cascaded outside the school walls, initiating Project Work. Currently, Noblesville students with special needs have options of having internships at three main sites around Noblesville. Janus, Riverview Health and Agape all have staff on site from Noblesville High School at these locations.

There are many other businesses and government locations that are participating as well. atNoblesville.com / APRIL 2016 / NOBLESVILLE MAGAZINE / 7

MEET THE MURPHYS

AN INTRODUCTION TO THE NEW CEO OF IU HEALTH AND HIS FAMILY Writer / Janelle Morrison Photographer / Chris Bergin & JJ Kaplan

On May 1, Indiana University Health will welcome Dennis M. Murphy as its new CEO. IU Health is one of the largest healthcare systems in the state with 17 hospitals and health centers and also one of the state’s largest employers with over 30,000 employees.

Murphy succeeds Daniel F. Evans, Jr. who held the position for 13 years. Murphy brings to the position remarkable experience, an optimistic vision for the future of IU Health and a passion for improving the health of the citizens of Indiana.

Before choosing healthcare administration as his career, Murphy studied and prepared for a completely different career path. At the age of 14, Murphy attended the St. Lawrence Seminary High School with plans on

becoming a Catholic priest.

Raised in a strong Irish Catholic family in a Irish-Polish emigrant neighborhood in Chicago, he came to realize that he had a desire to serve his fellow man, but he also wanted a family. He would spend some of his summer vacations visiting the family’s farm in Ireland. “It was important for me to give back, and I figured out that I was still able to give back, just in a different way,” explained Murphy.

Murphy’s educational background includes a degree from where else? The University of Notre Dame in pre-professional studies with a focus in political science. Afterwards, Murphy attended and earned a master’s degree in healthcare administration from Duke University.

Murphy came on board as the IU Health TownePost.com / APRIL 2016 / TOWNEPOST NETWORK

Chief Operating Officer (COO) in 2013 and was named president in September 2015. Prior to moving to Indiana and joining IU Health, Murphy was the COO and Executive Vice President for the renowned Northwestern Memorial HealthCare system located in Chicago, which like IU Health, is closely affiliated with a medical school.

Murphy’s resume also lists being Vice President of Ambulatory Services and Financial Planning for University of Chicago Hospitals and a decade of service at the prestigious Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland, as Administrator of the Department of Medicine.

Murphy is highly regarded in his field for a litany of accomplishments over the span of his career and continues to garner the respect of his peers and colleagues for his innovative

cancer, the leading cause of cancer death.

Kristy feels similarly in that it has been a great move for the family. She also has an extensive background in healthcare administration and fully supports the demands of her husband’s position. She has become involved with local charities such as the Women for Riley and fundraising in general for IU Health.

As a family, she mentioned that the entire family volunteers for Gleaners Food Bank when possible. She also emphasized the importance of balancing her family’s and husband’s schedules and how she and Dennis prioritize to put their family first.

strategies and system-wide initiatives.

While serving as the Executive VP and COO at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, they opened a 328-bed women’s hospital, and he was credited with implementing strategic plan initiatives that resulted in lowering costs and improving outcomes, improved overall patient satisfaction and advocating for the continued development of clinical research and education programs while collaborating with private physicians and the medical school affiliates.

Since joining IU Health, Murphy has played an instrumental role in the expansion of IU Health Plans, giving patients access to high-quality, comprehensive care focused on improving their health. He has also led the design of the IU Health system’s new organizational structure and Lean improvement efforts.

“This job appropriately allows me to grow much more into a strategic leadership capacity,” said Murphy. “I view my role as being a steward of an organization with a reputation for providing high-quality care, a strong leadership team, solid partnerships and an impressive record of success. Our hospitals have been here for over 100 years. Our job is to ensure that they’ll be here for the next 100 years to

provide care for patients and populations who come to us. Indiana does not rate well on a number of health measures, and ‘as the leading healthcare provider in Indiana,’ we must improve the health of patients throughout the state.”

After accepting the position with IU Health, Murphy moved his family from Chicago to Westfield where he resides with his wife, Kristy, and their three children, Dennis, James and Ella.

“When Dennis comes home, the whole house lights up. He’s extremely engaged – he’s not on his phone or the computer.

Conversation and connecting are important, and it’s incredible – he’s able to extract things from the kids or learn about their days in a matter of minutes and takes a very sincere interest in all of us. You’ll find him shooting basketball with James, playing volleyball with Ella and working out with Dennis when he’s home from college. We make time for family meals as much as possible, which is over 50 percent of the time.

“For us as newcomers, the move has been fantastic,” Murphy expressed. “People have been incredibly warm and welcoming. On the first day that we moved into our house, we had neighbors from all over the neighborhood come over to greet us. That kind of reception made us feel at home and allowed us to acclimate quickly here. It has meant a great deal to me to know that my family feels comfortable and is enjoying living here. This relocation has been a wonderful experience both personally and professionally.”

“When I’m downtown volunteering or there for meetings, we make time for lunch. It’s important to find pockets of quality time when we can. The kids’ school activities and sporting events are scheduled on his calendar. And when there are evening work events, they tend to include spouses, which is nice. We read an article that said it’s not so much about balancing or separating work and personal life, but integrating the two. It’s what we practice.

It’s all very cohesive and helps keep us connected as a family.”

Murphy has become personally invested in the American Lung Association, a cause dear to him due to several family members having suffered from lung disease and died at relatively young ages. Murphy acted as the Vice Chair for the association’s main fundraiser in 2015 and is the Chair of this year’s Evening of Promise Gala. Their mission is to raise awareness and funds to fight lung

The Murphy children are acclimating quite well to their new schools and community as well. Their eldest son, Dennis, has had the least amount of time here because he is currently a freshman attending the University of Iowa studying Mechanical Engineering.

Their son, James, is enjoying eighth grade and has a passion for basketball. By virtue of his Chicago roots, he is also a big fan of the

iconic Michael Jordan.

Their daughter, Ella, is in fifth grade and is active in volleyball and gymnastics. All three children exude great pride in their father and agreed that the time that they spend together as a family is the most rewarding part of their days.

As a runner, one of the things Murphy has come to appreciate about the area is the connectivity of the local trails and pathways, such as the Monon Trail. “I really enjoy that the local trails connect and are easily accessible,” Murphy said.

“When I get home after work, I can run on the trail and not have to worry about vehicular traffic.”

roundabout. Even for those familiar with the function of a roundabout, it presents an immediate challenge driving through one because they drive on the left side of the road. I was driving the wrong way for the first five minutes of my first trip back as the driver.”

Once you have a chance to meet the Murphys, you will quickly find that they

are an exceptional family that exudes a strong sense of family and a compassion for their neighbors and friends. This is certainly not surprising given Murphy’s Irish Catholic heritage.

By all signs, IU Health and the citizens of Indiana will be in great hands as Murphy takes the helm of one of our state’s most important healthcare providers.

The Murphys have found some favorite local shops, restaurants and eating establishments. Don’t be surprised to see them at local standbys Bub’s Burgers or The Local.

When asked how he has adjusted to the numerous roundabouts, Murphy noted that they strike a nostalgic chord. Murphy shared a humorous story of a harrowing experience driving out of the airport in Ireland for the first time. “My family, being from Ireland and having living relatives there, we naturally go back and visit them,” Murphy said. “As soon as one lands in Ireland and leaves the airport, they are immediately introduced to a

KIM DODSON:

A HERO FOR THE SPECIAL NEEDS COMMUNITY Writer / Kara Reibel Photographer / Brian Brosmer

As the Executive Director of The Arc of Indiana, Kim Dodson has learned how to be innovative and take risks, all for the cause of helping people with special needs lead lives of purpose.

Fate is what brought Dodson to her current position – it was literally an accident while she was a junior at Purdue University that steered her career course. Dodson was involved in a car crash that claimed the life of her fiancé. After recovering from her own injuries, she changed her major from investment banking to pre-law. During the course of an internship for a Congressman, Dodson was introduced to lobbying.

During the 1997-98 Indiana legislative terms, Dodson worked for a law firm as a lobbyist representing amusement parks. It was during that time that Dodson met Emily Hunt, a young woman badly injured in an amusement park accident that claimed the life of Hunt’s grandmother and rendered Hunt a quadriplegic. Hunt was lobbying for

increased safety inspections at amusement parks. Dodson was representing the other side. After a hearing on this issue, Dodson returned to the law firm and told her boss that they needed a compromise. The managing partner said no. Dodson quit two months later (the law firm no longer exists).

That summer, the reports of abuse and neglect leaked out about the treatment of patients with special needs at state-run institutions. Without any history of people with disabilities, she felt called to help in this effort as it greatly offended her. Dodson called The Arc of Indiana. Then-Executive Director John Dickerson was looking for a lobbyist. Now 17 years later, Dodson is the Executive Director.

Current legislation that The Arc of Indiana is pursuing includes Senate Bill 11, which is also known as the ABLE Act (Achieving a Better Life) which created a 529-type account for people with special needs. The other is House Bill 1219, which is called the Diploma Bill, as it requires all school corporations to offer the general diploma to all students; many students with special TownePost.com / APRIL 2016 / TOWNEPOST NETWORK

needs are not able to earn the Core 40, and not all schools in Indiana offer the general diploma, leaving many of these students without diplomas.

Another focus of The Arc of Indiana is post-secondary education for the special needs community. In 2011, while lobbying for The Arc of Indiana, Dodson had a frank discussion with the House Ways and Means Committee Chair. The two discussed Medicaid and Medicare.

“He asked me if I thought it really works,” recalls Dodson. “‘No, it doesn’t’ was my answer.”

This precipitated an off-the-record conversation that would impact the innovative approach for The Arc of Indiana for years to come.

The Arc of Indiana has been seen as a different type of human services organization since it’s more innovative and businessminded that others. Dodson was challenged to think about things differently. The legislature consisted of a more conservative

group of legislators, and The Arc of Indiana embarked on a campaign to move away from “entitlement” programs and moved to positively change the public view of people with special needs.

“We wanted the families to view support differently,” says Dodson. “One means of doing this is to showcase the talents of people with special needs.”

The Arc of Indiana created their platform, Blueprint For Change. Gathering together 20 of the best minds in the country in the special needs field, The Arc of Indiana listened and learned. “We asked, ‘What’s worked? What’s failed?’” says Dodson. “How can we be more innovative with people with special needs?”

The entire goal is to lessen dependence on government services for those with special needs, yet the statewide unemployment rate was 82% for Indiana’s special needs workforce. Once we allowed them to dream of the possibilities, The Arc of Indiana initiated their Indiana Response Team, consisting of Indiana families, professionals and educators. One member of this team was Jeff Huffman, whose son Nash has Down syndrome. Nash was entering high school at the time, and Huffman dreamed of options for his son after graduation.

Huffman listened to the national panel of experts closely, and later, while driving through his hometown of Muncie, he noticed the abandoned Roberts Hotel.

Huffman thought, “Wouldn’t it be cool to teach job skills to people with special needs in the atmosphere in which they’d be used?”

Huffman shared his idea with Dodson. ”He brought up hospitality as a possibility,” says Dodson, who thoughtfully considered this over the next 10 days. At the time, the economy wasn’t strong, but hospitality was growing. She researched success stories of the hospitality and food services sector for people with special needs.

Dodson met him. “We knew we were doing something very special,” says Dodson. “We wanted shared passion for the project, not just experts in their field. Our architect had never built a hotel but had history with post-secondary education, and Wayne is one of the most big-hearted people I’ve ever met.”

For the hotel restaurant, Dodson knew the downside of a basic hotel restaurant. They needed name recognition and a destination for patrons. Scott Wise of Scotty’s THR3E Wise Men was their target. This would prove to be the easiest influential meeting of Dodson’s career.

Dodson called Huffman and asked, “What are you thinking?”

Less than two minutes into her pitch, Wise interrupted with, “I’m in.”

Huffman’s reply was, “If this can be done, The Arc of Indiana can do it.”

Dodson said, “But I haven’t shared everything that is required by your restaurant.”

The business plan was underway, basing it entirely on research of the successes and failures across the country. The Arc of Indiana looked to create a model that worked.

They had a greater chance of success if they acquired a few characteristics: a strong university presence, a supportive business community and a mayor who would embrace the mission. Muncie fit the description perfectly.

Huffman was convinced the Roberts Hotel could be renovated and serve as their training center. During the process, the Roberts property sold. “It was a blessing in disguise,” says Dodson. The City of Muncie was so committed to the idea, it provided land for the project, allowing a new hotel to be built from the ground up.

No other city had the synergy like Muncie to pull this off. Muncie Mayor Dennis Tyler had been a champion of Arc of Indiana in the statehouse for their issues. Familiar with the needs of the special needs community, he helped make the Erskine Green Training Institute a reality.

The Arc of Indiana now had everything they were looking for. Architect Wayne Schmidt was selected nearly the moment TOWNEPOST NETWORK / APRIL 2016 / TownePost.com

“I said, ‘I’m in!’ 100%, we will do this,” said Wise. End of meeting. Wise was hand-picked.

So was the construction team, and the Marriott hotel chain was the best option of those on the table since Marriott has a strong history of hiring people with special needs.

To give the project wings, the State of Indiana supplied a grant of $5 million to build the hotel and training center. This unprecedented endowment from the State happened in 2013, and all of the credit goes to the Republicans in the House.

Additional donors include Ball Memorial Foundation who put up $3 million. With the carryover in hospitality training into specific healthcare skills, partnering with Ball Memorial Hospital is a foregone conclusion. Ball Bros Foundation, Muncie Community Foundation, the Shafer Foundation and The AWS Foundation all have been generous supporters.

The name, Erskine Green, comes from Carl Erskine, a pioneer championing the rights of people with special needs to barriers and perceived limitations. Erskine’s son, Jimmy, works at the Applebee’s in Anderson where he has a great sense of pride with his work and his ability to earn a paycheck. Steve

Green was so inspired by Erskine’s efforts of advocacy that when Green’s daughter Jessica was born with Down syndrome, Green helped in any way he could to ensure all of his children have the same opportunities.

“I stand on the shoulders of those that have come before me,” says Huffman.

“Erskine and Green have touched so many lives, many of whom they will never have the pleasure to meet.”

The Arc Training Institute & Teaching Hotel

The first class of the Erskine Green Training Center has exceeded expectations. The goal is to educate 80 students per year. “Two years ago, that seemed ambitious,” shares Dodson.

“Now with increasing demand, it may not be enough.”

“Our family is truly blessed to be recipients of 60 years worth of love, grit, perseverance and passion from parents, siblings, advocates and legislators who have tirelessly worked on behalf of those with intellectual and developmental disabilities,” says Kerry Fletcher, President of the Board of Directors for The Arc of Indiana. “Our mission is to change the culture that surrounds those with intellectual and developmental disabilities in school, the workplace and the community.”

In a world of change, our focus is steadfast.

The Arc of Indiana is fielding calls from across the country to help institute similar programs replicating theirs. By conservative projections, the hotel will be debt-free by the end of 2019. By January 2017, The Arc of Indiana will have their next business plan for additional training opportunities for people with special needs prepared, sustained by the profits from the hotel. Additional job skills means getting more people to work.

“Through the Training Institute, the legacy of Erskine and Green will continue,” says Dodson.

THE LEUKEMIA & LYMPHOMA SOCIETY’S BOY OF THE YEAR

LUKE CANTERBURY

Writer / Kara Reibel Photographer / Brian Brosmer

As the Canterbury family traveled to Texas for a business trip, their third of four boys complained of pain along his right side.

“Luke is a tough kid,” shares Angie, Luke’s mom. “He would cry about the pain he was experiencing but toughen up and jump back into the pool to play with his brothers.

We initially thought he was experiencing growing pains.”

Later that evening with their son in tremendous pain, Angie took him to a local emergency room. “The initial diagnosis was that he was constipated,” says Jamie, Luke’s dad. “In the E.R., they don’t do complete blood work and analysis.”

Prior to this medical emergency, the only other time the Canterbury family had been to an emergency room was when Luke shoved a bean up his nose.

take him to the closest children’s hospital.

We were near St. Louis but decided to head straight home instead.”

After driving nine hours straight to their general practice doctor with a screaming child in the car, Luke was transported by ambulance to the emergency room at Riley Hospital for Children. The resulting diagnosis was Burkitt’s Lymphoma, Stage 4. The Canterburys received this news on June 27, 2014. Luke was 4 1/2 years old.

These sort of tumors develop rapidly and are capable of doubling in size every 12 hours. One of Luke’s tumors was wrapped around his spine. He was moments away from paralysis.

Burkitt’s Lymphoma is unique in that the tumors are highly treatable and are composed of soft tissue. However, given the severity of the location around the spinal It became evident later that night that Luke’s cord, surgery was necessary to decrease the pressure and prevent further complications. issue was potentially far more serious. As The surgery was not without risk, and since the Canterbury family drove home, Luke Luke had begun chemotherapy immediately was inconsolable. “The original E.R. doc following this procedure, his tissues were called to check on Luke and suggested we

not healing optimally post-surgery.

“The open wound on Luke’s back from surgery was a concern, for he developed sepsis, and we were not sure if he was going to make it,” shares Angie. Luke would have many more scares throughout his treatments.

The Canterbury family set up camp at Riley for two months, with either Mom or Dad staying every night with him in the hospital. “We’d bring all the boys to the hospital every evening for dinner with all of us eating together, then one of us would go home with the other boys and one of us would stay with Luke,” shares Angie. She homeschools their boys and frequently had one of Luke’s brothers have a sleepover with them at Riley.

Given the time spent at Riley, the Canterbury family created many meaningful relationships with the doctors, nurses and therapists. Alissa Moody, Luke’s pediatric physical therapist, was brought up in conversation right away when discussing the quality of care Luke received at Riley.

“Luke is so courageous, so brave,” says Alissa who is running for LLS Woman of the Year. “You knew he was in severe pain most of the time, but it was my job to pull him away from playing with his brothers and get him to therapy.”

The Canterburys would return with Luke to Riley for two to three weeks at a time following the initial two month stay for additional chemotherapy treatments. “During the main stay at the hospital, Luke was angry.

It was super tough for him,” says Angie.

After the spinal surgery and subsequent treatments, Luke needed to learn how to roll over again, to sit up and to walk.

The pressure on his spinal cord had been alleviated, and long-term damage had been prevented, but the cost was learning how to become mobile again. The recovery was painful, yet Luke worked very hard through his intense physical therapy.

Today, you wouldn’t know Luke had ever been sick, except for a low immune resistance. He runs around and plays with his brothers like any other rough and tumble boy his age. Hugh is 13, Levi is 8 and Wade is 3. Luke is now 6 years old.

“Dealing with a situation like this changes your perspective on life,” says Jamie. “Our family has become even closer because of this.”

“What Luke was doing was extremely painful, and I cried with him,” shares Moody.

When asking Luke about his experience, he says, “I got lots and lots of shots.” Luke had a port, and when he was able to finally go home, he says, “I slept between Mommy and Daddy.”

When asked what being the LLS Boy of the Year means to Luke, he replied, “It means I beat cancer!”

The

Rugged Co. Men Tested. Women Approved.

Writer / Lisa Mitchell . Photographer / Brian Brosmer; Provided

The Rugged Co. is designed as a place for men to be men. In a world full of shops and boutiques that cater specifically to women, The Rugged Co. is the counterbalance to the “ladies only” norm. It is very much a “manly man’s” place full of very manly things. With its signature hand-mixed beard oils, the premium straight-edge razors and leather goods stamped by hand, it’s clear that The Rugged Co. aims to help men step up their game and appreciate premium products designed especially for them.

atNoblesville.com / APRIL 2016 / NOBLESVILLE MAGAZINE / 25

Cole says, “We plan to grow here and stay here. You can’t buy the history that is found in Noblesville. It’s the small town feel with a thriving historic district. I love every part of Noblesville.”

The Rugged Co. items are finding their way to the shelves of countless other boutiques and shops, and the demand for the products continues to grow. Cole’s goal is to eventually have his hand-crafted items carried in 5,000-6,000 “mom and pop” shops all around the country. It’s a goal that looks to be very attainable based on the current growth trajectory.

One additional offering that Cole is especially excited about is the upcoming introduction of The 1823 denim line. This line of custom designed jeans will be available in the store this summer, and the company will soon be launching a Kickstarter campaign to fund the launch and production of that line. That funding campaign will be launching soon, and if you would like to contribute, you can get more information by signing up for their newsletter at ruggedcompany.com.

With its signature hand-mixed beard oils, the premium straight-edge razors and leather goods stamped by hand, it’s clear that The Rugged Co. aims to help men step up their game and appreciate premium products designed especially for them.

Owner Corey Cole is a proud Noblesville resident who is deeply rooted in and committed to the community. His goal with The Rugged Co., located at 942 Maple Ave., is to help Noblesville grow and to play a role in creating a vibrant business landscape where small business owners contribute to the community in meaningful ways. Although growth and expansion, both in location and products offered, is the goal and will be happening soon, leaving Noblesville or selling out to a larger brand is not on the horizon for this business owner.

In addition to the custom-made personal care items that will help keep men looking and smelling their best, The Rugged Co. offers locally printed apparel, art and sculptures for sale from local artists and even a unique coffee bar that looks equal parts science lab and coffee shop. Cole prepares coffee using the pour over method to prevent any bitter taste and even has special brews that are made using aged whiskey infused beans. This is not your average cup of coffee!

Cole’s efforts with The Rugged Co. are to bring back the type of general store feeling from bygone eras. He wants his shop to be seen as a place for personal goods to be purchased, coffee to be enjoyed, art to be admired and for connections and real interactions to happen. It’s all about building community for Cole and his family.

Family is a big part of what The Rugged Co. is about as well. On any given day, you can expect to find Cole hand-mixing oils, stamping leather goods or making the perfect cup of coffee, all with his daughter Addilee by his side, and he wouldn’t have it any other way. She’s a driving force behind Cole’s ambition and desire to build his business the right way and to create a legacy that she can be proud of.

The precocious 2-year-old is also the reason why the usually heavily bearded Cole was clean-shaven when it was time for his interview and cover shoot. Cole shared that his new look was the result of an ill-timed tug on the trimmer cord that left him with a bare line straight through the middle of his thick beard. Despite his best efforts to reason with himself, he conceded that walking around with mutton chops was just not going to be a good look for him. He found himself clean shaven for the first time in almost too long to remember with a funny story behind it and one more memory to share with his daughter in the years to come.

That is, after all, what Cole is hoping to create through the growth and success of The Rugged Co. He wants to keep creating memories with his family and his customers that will help them appreciate quality handmade products that can make any man feel more like a well-groomed man, even if they happen to lose their beard to an unfortunately timed slip of the trimmers. The Rugged Co. is truly made for every man, beards not required.

Candidate s ROBIN BROWN

Nominated by Dylan Brown My mother is far more than the typical “stay at home mom.” She works from home, manages 90 percent of daily operation, takes care of finances, does her best to keep up with my schedule and still manages to be there when my dad or I need her.

She works harder that anyone I know and makes constant sacrifices for us whether we recognize it or not. She deserves Mom of the Year more than anyone because of the strong qualities she displays in everything she does, and I love her for it.

PAM MELFI

Nominated by Lyndsay Sheridan My mom should be “Mom of the Year” because the products of her mothering prove a job well done! You can’t deny the evidence! She has successfully raised four children on her own. The fruits of her labor have paid off by having four successful adult children and 12 grandchildren that respect and adore her. Not only was she at every sporting event, dance recital and parent teacher conference, but she nursed a daughter through breast cancer, took over the role of mom when another daughter had to have a preventative double mastectomy and did it all with no complaints. Selfless is an understatement when it comes to describing my mom. Over the years, I have heard several people ask her the secret to her success. It’s no secret that she has nailed the recipe for an amazing mom!

KATIE RUVALCABA

Nominated by Alaina Shonkwiler Katie embodies all things “Mom of the Year” as she’s not only a mom to four humans, two rabbits and a Chihuahua, but she’s the comedic relief, the helpful neighbor and the wonderful sister-mama to anyone who needs it, even if they don’t know they need it. My family is often the recipient of Mrs. Ruvi’s loving gestures of dinners, watching kids or helping transport them from activity to activity. All the while, she supports her husband’s dreams and moved across the country to do so. She’s the person everyone wants to know. She’s the charming, sweet, neighbor-mommy we adore!

MILLERYES.ORG The proposed rate for the referendum continuation is 10.5 percent lower than the current operating referendum rate, so if the continuation is voted in, residents will actually pay less for the operating referendum starting in 2017. The district is able to offer a lower rate, thanks to some additional funding the state has committed over the next two years as well as growth in Noblesville property values.

Writer / Kara Reibel

The City of Noblesville is exemplary in several categories, but one of the most important means by which Noblesville stands out is the support between its government, community and schools.

The Noblesville Schools Corporation has such an amazing level of support throughout the community at large, and it is hoping that this is evident in the upcoming election ballot for the passage of the proposed referendum, which actually lowers what taxpayers are currently paying.

Why should this referendum be passed?

There is every reason to pass this: • the area competition for schools • maintaining strong property values • keeping the schools strong • the community For additional statistics and information, please visit MillerYes.org!

The district continues to prove it is a responsible steward with taxpayer dollars with the decrease of the tax funding.

Even though the district is in the lowest 10 percent in the state for funding (as are all schools in Hamilton County) and the district has seen an increase in 1,200 students since 2009, the rate will be lowered if the voters turn out and approve this measure. This referendum pays for teachers, staff and academic programming, not facilities.

“We need the voters to turn out to pass this referendum, so that we can continue operating seamlessly,” says Superintendent of Schools Dr. Beth Niedermeyer. “The current operating referendum in place is set to expire, and that’s why we’re asking for a continuation."
