In our cover story this month we talk with Jeff Worrell about his time heading CarmelFest and passing the baton to Gary Sexton. While Jeff will step away from his leadership role, we hope he never gives up his contagious enthusiasm for CarmelFest or his red, white and blue apron with the familiar “Sparks Buttons.”

n today’s complex world we have come to expect, if not demand, a certain degree of specialization from those we turn to for professional services. This is certainly a consideration when we seek help from professionals providing financial services. For those of us about to retire or those who will be doing so in the near future, basically 55 or older, we worry because we know our financial future is in flux and is about to change drastically. The risk profile of our investment portfolio that worked for us when we were 30 may not serve us well as we prepare to lose the security of a regular paycheck. Luckily, there is a Carmel-based financial services provider, Guardian Wells Financial, that specializes in providing the right advice and financial products tailored for individuals whose retirement considerations are more of a reality than just a dream.

Guardian Wells Financial’s owner and founder, Jason Hutchins, has a long and distinguished career in the financial services industry. Jason began his career in the insurance industry several years ago. That experience, coupled with his observations on the financial chaos caused to individuals by the 2007-2008 financial crises, caused Jason to create a financial services company that concentrated its efforts in providing advice to the large group of baby boomers who are entering their retirement years. You may have heard of Jason through his regular personal appearances providing financial advice on the radio (WIBC), or his appearance in Forbes magazine or the articles he has authored that appear on “Fox Business.” Longtime listeners of Greg Garrison probably have heard Greg mention Jason and Guardian Wells Financial on the radio.

As to the role of Guardian Wells Financial in serving its clients, Jason stated, “We help families get their financial house in order.

It’s like cleaning out the junk drawer after 40 years. We help put some real thought into consolidating and structuring a durable plan that is “all-weather,” regardless of the conditions presented by the economy.” In addition, Jason said, “Volatility in the market is the highest it has been in our lifetime. The folks we serve simply cannot handle another 2008 disaster and wait it out for the market to give back what it took. Those days have come and gone.” As Jason noted, “There are ways to safeguard your income after you retire; you don’t have to just wing it and hope a 4 percent withdrawal strategy will work for you.”

Jason Hutchins, Dixie Griffin & Jeff Lantz

Guardian Wells Financial is locally owned and operated. What that means for its clients is that Jason and his team are free to design a plan that is right for you, not what is the latest hot product being pushed by representatives of a large financial conglomerate.

Although local, Guardian Wells does have access to a wide array of financial products to meet your particular needs.

If you are in that 55 and older bracket, give Guardian Wells a call and let Jason Hutchins and his team design a financial plan that is right for this transitional time in your life.

Chef Thom England and Karen Mangia in their wine cellar

Chef Thom England DIGS IN TO LOCAL FOOD

Writer & Photographer / JJ Kaplan

Chef Thom England’s culinary career began when he was just a teenager, washing dishes in the kitchen of a country club in Warsaw, Indiana. After earning degrees from the University of Evansville and the esteemed Culinary Institute of America in New York, Chef Thom returned to Indiana to work at the Chateau Thomas Winery in Plainfield. Today he is the head of the culinary program at Ivy Tech Community College of Central Indiana, with close to 1,500 students following his direction. In addition, he is co-founder of Dig IN, a nonprofit organization that promotes Indiana food and agriculture. To top it off, his edition of The Idiots Guide: Grilling hit stores across the country and some international locations this month. And he is just getting warmed up!

In 2007, Thom England and Karen Mangia read and embraced a book titled Animal, Vegetable, Miracle. Their eyes were opened to the benefits of eating locally grown foods, especially in a day and age where a significant amount of food contains genetically modified organisms (GMO). Genetically modified foods are

altered to perform better in production, and can contain microorganisms such as bacteria and yeast, insects, plants, fish, and mammals. To reduce or avoid eating GMOs, they set out to know the origins of their food and only eat products from within a 100mile radius for one year. They called it the 100-Mile Diet.

During this year of discovery, they sought the expertise of their grandparents, who showed them the nuances of canning, freezing, making jam…skills that are rare in today’s world. Thom and Karen then set out to know more about the foods they were consuming and the implications of their choices. And they observed several benefits of their 100-Mile Diet.

According to Karen, “If we eat local products, the producers are more likely to spend their money locally, which encourages their suppliers to spend locally, as well.” Thom adds, “If each family spent $1.70 per week on local produce, it could expand into $1.5 billion in Indiana revenue.” And likewise, “If we spend our dollars in bigbox stores, the revenue goes to their corporate offices far away and Indiana loses out on these dollars.”

There are extensive benefits to our health when we eat local foods. You can often learn what, or if, chemicals were used on the produce before it came to market. Eating foods that are free of pesticides or other potentially harmful chemicals promotes good health.

There is also a social component to eating locally, as people connect and enjoy sharing a good cause. Visit a farmers market and you will probably find kindred spirits who embrace the “know your farmer, know your food” ideal.

Thom and Karen were becoming adept at eating locally when he was asked to be an educator at a Slow Food convention in Italy. Slow Food supports good food and clean products, for a fair wage. It was here that people from all over the world asked Thom what he was doing about GMOs, as he had a key vantage point from the Midwest and middle of the corn belt. They asked him, “Why aren’t you doing something?” (about some of the questionable practices in GMO, such as using cells from salmon to alter corn so that it has a longer shelf life). I had to blink at that one. Yes, some growers really are using fish to enhance corn.

Thom also had the immense pleasure of having lunch with the grand dame of chefs, Alice Waters, who spearheads the local and organic food movement. Waters has been cited as one of the most influential figures in food in the past 50 years, and has been called the mother of American food. Waters believes that eating organic foods, free from herbicides and pesticides, is essential for both taste and the health of the environment and local communities. This meeting solidified Thom’s vision of how to promote organic, locally grown foods.

Thom’s most recent accomplishment is to author the new version of The Idiot’s Guide: Grilling. Only the top 10 of all Idiot’s Guides were selected this year for updating and Thom was chosen to author the manual. Talk about a rock star in the grilling world! His vision was to make grilling as simple as possible and something anyone could enjoy. With approximately 100 recipes for meat, poultry, seafood, vegetables, fruits, desserts, sauces, rubs and more, the book is filled with color images to guide you every step of the way. And not only does it list the ingredients, but also the kitchen equipment that will be needed. You can have everything at your fingertips and be ready to go with Thom’s help. With grilling season upon us, it might be fun to add new recipes to your grilling repertoire.

When I asked him to share a recipe that hits it out of the ballpark, he shared a 10 lb. lasagna recipe that literally blew a fireball 10 feet out of his oven. (For the record, you really shouldn’t add so much cheese that it overflows above the top of the pan. And you should place a pan under the lasagna so any cheese melting from the upper pan will be caught and not drip onto the hot coils below.) His friends extinguished the fire, added more cheese, put it back into the oven, and declared it “delicious!” atCarmel.com / JUNE 2014 / CARMEL COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER / 13

Ultimately, Thom and all chefs feel the gravity of training the next generation. He says, “The joy comes from training students and passing down the knowledge. All we hope for is our protégés to become self-sufficient and independent leaders. We are not training them for what they can do today, but what they can do tomorrow.”

To begin your own journey to eating organically and locally, become aware of what you are buying. For example, if you have a choice, buy the apple grown right here in Indiana versus one grown out of state. The same applies to supporting a locally owned versus a chain restaurant. You may also join a community supported agriculture group. Simply buy into a share of a local garden, and pick up your produce. There is one at 106th and Keystone Avenue. There are also companies, such as Green Bean Delivery, that offer a year-round home delivery service. And finally, support your local farmers market, which can become the place where “everybody knows your name.”

Editor’s Note: This is the first in a series of stories to appear this summer that highlight a local vendor participating in the Carmel Farmers Market.

Spotlight on

LAWLER FARMS

New to the Carmel Farmers Market this summer is Lawler Farms, a small Greenfield-based family farm that offers fresh produce, pork and poultry. The Lawlers are dedicated to sustainable farming principles. As such, they use only organic fertilizers and their hogs and chickens are pasture raised. Jonathan Lawler, his wife, Amanda, and their three young sons (ages 13, 11, 9) started farming about five years ago. Amanda was raised on a very large commodity farm in northern Ohio, while Jonathan grew up in the Geist area in a family that had deep roots in the trucking industry.

Jonathan’s decision to get into the business of providing locally grown produce actually originated from his experience in the trucking business. He began to notice that some of the produce his trucks were hauling to southern warehouses would be picked up and hauled back to Indiana.

atCarmel.com / JUNE 2014 / CARMEL COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER / 15

Carmel_June_2014.indd 15

5/28/14 8:06 PM

In one particular instance, one of his trucks picked up a load of cantaloupes in Jeffersonville, Indiana, and hauled them to a grocery warehouse in Houston, Texas. Before the truck left that terminal they received an order for a backhaul to Indiana. Astonishingly, Jonathan and his driver realized that they were hauling back to Indiana some of the exact melons they had just dropped off in Houston.

As a result of this type of experience, Jonathan began to see the need for and benefits of locally raised food.

Presently, the Lawlers’ principal products are tomatoes, sweet corn, green beans and cucumbers. Last year they sold over 700,000 lbs. of fresh vine-ripened, handpicked tomatoes. Jonathan is presently in the process of expanding his operation to produce more pasture-raised hogs and poultry. At the height of the season, the Lawlers will have around 15 local people hired to work on the farm (another reason to support local food producers). In an effort to expand his knowledge of sound sustainable farming practices, Jonathan says he often finds local Amish farmers as a great source for solutions to some of the problems he faces.

The Lawlers are active in local organizations dedicated to promoting sustainable farming practices and giving back to the community. They are supporters of the Beyond Organic Indiana organization, a group of farmers, consumers, and retailers who strive to promote local, organic and all natural agricultural practices, here in our state. In addition, they have been large contributors to local food banks. This year they are committed to provide at no cost to the Kenneth Butler Soup Kitchen, located in Greenfield, 700 lbs. of fresh produce.

The day we were at the farm, a group of Starbucks employees were there helping with planting as part of their Community Service Day. If you’re at the Carmel Farmers Market, stop by and say hello to Jonathan, Amanda and the boys at the Lawler Farms’ stand. Rest assured that the produce they offer was produced locally, is as fresh as it can be, and has not ridden around in trucks for thousands of miles before being brought to market.

SUMMER CONCERT LINEUP PREVIEW Writer / Christy Watson

Will it be cowboy hats and boots, black T-shirts and jeans, or coconut bras and leis that don your arrival at Klipsch Music Center this summer? Are camping for Dave Matthews and date night for ZBB (Zac Brown Band) or Luke Bryan marked on your calendar, as well? The 2014 concert season is underway for yet another spectacular and diverse lineup that gets many area residents’ heart rates aflutter this time of year. Having just celebrated 25 years as a successful and nationally recognized “Best Music Venue,” the changes just don’t stop when it comes to improving the concert experience at KMC. Going head to head with mother nature during the off season, construction of a new bar in the venue’s south plaza and a new program that provides guests the opportunity to purchase a table for individual shows are just an example of the first class service this venue strives to give its guests.

“The concept is that guests can experience wait-free service throughout their visit,

and their own reserved table. The bar will be in a great location so it’s close to just about everything,” says Andrew Newport, the GM for North American Concerts and Live Nation, who is celebrating his own 15-year milestone, working at the venue.

“Healthier food options and locally grown produce and meat from responsibly raised animals is another very cool program being offered that allows us to support the community while offering better products to the fans,” offers Newport.

The variety of talent this year is unsurpassed, with some rock ‘n’ roll heavy-hitters headed this way, from seasoned acts like Journey/Steve Miller, to Kiss and Def Leppard, to the farewell tour of Motley Crüe and Alice Cooper.

Everybody’s favorite Caribbean crooner, Jimmy Buffett, returns June 26 while his Parrothead fans are busy preparing for their extravagant tailgate parties.

Country music has made its way into the hearts of many and the evolution of the Country Mega Ticket has made it easier for patrons to catch the boot-

stomping, hip-shaking talent of acts like Brad Paisley, Tim McGraw and Lady A, to name a few. Camping at Klipsch will be offered for the two-day Luke Bryan event in late August. The season will round out in September with Toby Keith and the resonant sound of Dierks Bentley.

Never to deny the showcase of newer talent and tastes, Klipsch excitedly will welcome OneRepublic/The Script, Wiz Khalifa’s Under the Influence of Music Tour, and Kings of Leon.

With nearly all of the venue’s boxes sold out for the season, a great way to see the shows is through the VIP program that allows purchasers to take advantage of a private parking lot, access to the VIP Club and Lounge, as well as access to exclusive seats. Season seat and series seat packages are also still available.

Whatever your tastes in music, be sure not to let those summer nights slip by without a visit to Klipsch Music Center, and meet up with about 23,999 of your soon-to-be closest friends.

A HISTORICAL HOMECOMING & “TRADITIONAL�

INDEPENDENCE DAY CELEBRATION Writer / Janelle Morrison . Photographer / JJ Kaplan

Roberts Settlement descendants (left to right): Tonja (White) Goodloe, Paula Gilliam, Teresa (Newsom) Granger,and Maizie (White) Glover.

Traversing through the county roads in northern Hamilton and Boone County, Indiana, one could easily pass by without knowing the epic histor y of the land they are cruising through. For instance, a lone white chapel that sits on a parcel surrounded by farms marks where a vast, free black settlement once dominated upwards of 2,000 acres of that part of the county.

In 1835 African-American pioneers Elijah Roberts, Hansel Roberts and Micajah Walden purchased homesteads in northern Hamilton County, 30 miles north of Indianapolis, Indiana. Land was fertile and affordable at $1.25 per acre. The families of these men settled permanently on these homesteads, establishing what would be known as Roberts Settlement.

Carmel_June_2014.indd 21

5/28/14 8:06 PM

By 1840, Roberts Settlement was home to approximately 10 families and 900 acres of land that neighbored Quaker homesteads.

These early pioneers purposely settled near Quaker establishments, as they were known to be accepting of free blacks and were supportive neighbors.

The families of Roberts Settlement were people of mixed African, Native American, and European descent. They had lived in eastern North Carolina as free landowners prior to the American Revolution. In fact, many of these men served in the Continental Army in the Revolutionary War. As slavery became more prevalent in the United States and racial tensions ensued in the 1800s, the free blacks were subjected to harsh treatment and suspicion from the white landowners and steadily their rights would become jeopardized.

Dr. Stephen A. Vincent, a Hamilton County, Indiana, native and author of Southern Seed, Northern Soil, has conducted extensive research on the history of Roberts and Beech Settlements in Indiana. His book is a combination of 20 years of research and interviews with descendants of the Roberts and Beech Settlement families.

A documentary based upon his book has recently been produced and is currently being screened by historical societies and related organizations.

Many Roberts Settlement residents first settled in the Beech Settlement in Rush County, Indiana, prior to moving north to Hamilton County. Dr. Vincent described the deteriorating conditions and the impending threat to the free blacks’ freedom that prompted them to gather their belongings in ox-pulled wagons, amid the unknown perils along the path to the north.

“By the 1820s, conditions had gotten to the point where it was becoming increasingly difficult to make a living because of the lack of tolerance of most whites around them,” Dr. Vincent explained. “The only thing that separates the free blacks from slavery is a legal piece of paper that indicates that they are free. However, an unscrupulous white could simply take that document and rip it up and move them to three or four

counties over where nobody knows them and sells them as slaves.” You may have seen a depiction of this on the big screen in the Academy Award–winning movie, Twelve Years a Slave.

In 1831, the Nat Turner Rebellion, one of the three largest and most violent slave uprisings, occurred within 100 miles of their homes. Elijah Roberts, Hansel Roberts and Micajah Walden decided it was time to lead their families to the northern frontier and re-establish their lives in hopes of prosperity and safety.

“It’s ingrained in our blood and we’ve got to keep it up. We’ve heard it and lived it through our parents. I promised my dad that as long as I’m living, we’ll keep this going and teach our kids and next gaenerations after us, that they have to keep this going.”

The formative years of Roberts Settlement were not spared any challenges. The nation suffered an economic downturn and depression that lasted from the late 1830s through the early 1940s, stifling the early development of the settlement.

As the nation’s economic health improved, the growth of the settlement increased.

By 1850, there were 16 families and 112 residents. While relations with their neighboring Quaker families were favorable, the degradation and intolerance from “outsiders” intensified as negative views of African-Americans were propagated and the nation became divided over slavery. The State of Indiana ratified its constitution and passed Article XIII that prohibited further

black settlement within the state. Although the Roberts families were vulnerable to the intolerance of people outside of their community and were keenly aware of the possibility of kidnappings and angry mobs, the families would persevere and enjoy an era of prosperity from the 1850s through the 1870s. The opening of the Peru and Indianapolis railroad lines in 1853 provided easier access to markets and a litany of products to the families. New farm equipment was purchased, and stick frame houses replaced the early log cabins, amid a civil war that was testing the nation’s resolve during 1861 through 1865. Legislators repealed the state’s most restrictive racial laws, granted voting rights to AfricanAmerican men and provided funding for African-American schools.

In the late 1870s, Roberts Settlement included 300 residents and had acquired approximately 2,000 acres of land. The Roberts families had embraced their neighboring Wesleyan religion and became part of the Wesleyan circuit that included several area churches, often worshiping and teaching along with their white neighbors.

A school was erected after 1870 and a white clapboard building with a steeple replaced the settlement’s earlier log chapel in 1858.

The community was well known for its middle class ideals and emphasis on moral improvement, refinement and respectability.

Residents William Roberts and Elijah Gilliam were the first to become politically involved in their local Republican Party and were elected as township constables. Elijah Gilliam was the son of Moody Gilliam who was the first free black to settle in Boone County, Indiana. Their settlement was on the border of Marion and Union Township, east of Lebanon. Moody’s daughter, Sarah Jane (Moody) Walden, was the first free black child born in Boone County and she married Peterson Walden, son of Micajah Walden, co-founder of Roberts Settlement. Moody was well known throughout Boone County and was highly respected by his neighbors and friends. At the time of Moody’s death in 1884, he had 21 children, 41 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren, of which many settled in either the Roberts or Beech Settlements in the surrounding counties.

By the turn of the last century, opportunities at Roberts Settlement were diminishing like many other rural communities and the population had decreased by half. Only 150 residents occupied the Settlement in 1900 and less than 50 by 1920.

Many of the residents pursued higher education and professional lives outside of the settlement. Many became ministers, educators, or doctors, and gained local or state recognition, often holding high positions within their professions. Reverend Cyrus W. Roberts served 50 years as a Wesleyan, and later, an A.M.E., minister in the Midwest. Dr. Carl G. Roberts was a prominent surgeon in Chicago and was president of the Negro Medical Association; and Reverend Dolphin P. Roberts became the nation’s highest appointed official as Recorder of Deeds.

In the 1920s, former Roberts Settlement residents organized annual homecoming reunions as a way to preserve the heritage of the Roberts families. Residents gathered at the settlement close to the 4th of July holiday to reminisce and worship together, a tradition that continues today. The Roberts Settlement will be celebrating its 90th Roberts Settlement Annual Homecoming celebration this 4th of July weekend.

Descendants of the Roberts families from all over the country will congregate and celebrate their families, values and history.

Paula Gilliam, a Noblesville resident and president of Roberts Settlement Homecoming and Burial Association, established in 1924, discussed the upcoming Homecoming’s program and its importance.

“They always met as a family after church and had gatherings way before it became an official homecoming,” Paula said. “Friday night is the start of the homecoming celebration. We’ve had well over 100, almost 200 with the kids and their parents. This should be a special year because the 4th of July is on a Friday. This year we’ll start at 6:30 p.m. and show the documentary to the people who haven’t seen it yet.

At 7 p.m. we’ll have hayrides and a weenie roast. For the last 43 years we’ve also had fireworks.”

Teresa Newsom Granger, from Noblesville, commented, “Even at my age now, it has become much more significant to me. For the first 16 years of my life, I lived here. The church was the community for me and to those who lived here. We remember the good times and the kids we grew up with and went to school and church with.”

Saturday they have a golf outing and start gathering around 1 p.m., then they will eat together and reminisce.

They have a program where they talk about who’s passed on and family announcements. Sundays they close with a church service at 9 a.m. and have blessing.

Those you didn’t see but once a year.

The second oldest living descendent, Maizie White Glover of Noblesville, recalled that she didn’t care much for country life and had little to no appreciation for visiting the settlement until after she was older.

“It’s ingrained in our blood and we’ve got to keep it up,” Paula said.

“We’ve heard it and lived it through our parents. I promised my dad that as long as I’m living, we’ll keep this going and teach our kids and next generations after us, that they have to keep this going.”

Tonja White Goodloe, Carmel resident and a descendant of Roberts Settlement, recited from a letter written by her great-grandmother, Alzadia Roberts Windburn: “To all I would say, be inspired with the legacy left to us by our ancestors. We are doing a great work and we cannot come down. May we go forward to attain a higher realm of life and at last, reach the end of a perfect day.” Tonja concluded, “I think that sums up what each of us has responsibility of doing: carrying on that legacy and passing on that important history to the generations beyond us.”

“I had to come,” she recalled humorously and reluctantly. “I wasn’t happy about it—this was the country to me and I was a city girl.

After I graduated high school, I went to live with my uncle who was a surgeon in Chicago, but I got so homesick that I only stayed five

months. I came home on the Monon every other week and met my parents at the station in Sheridan. I didn’t like living in Chicago; I was just so homesick. After I married and had children, I changed and realized how important and how significant this place here in the country is, but as a teenager I certainly

didn’t think so.”

Maizie’s son, Bryan Glover, a Noblesville resident who, along with Dr. Stephen Vincent, contributed their research and time toward this article, spoke about his long-term vision and dream for Roberts Settlement. He worked with Dr. Vincent on the recent documentary. “We’ve had four or five community conversations around Hamilton County with various historical societies like Carmel, Noblesville, Sheridan and Arcadia, and the local libraries, and have screened the film to more than 250 people on those five occasions. We arranged to have a screening at the Eiteljorg Museum and did it as part of their regular monthly meeting for their genealogy group. There were a few descendants of Beech Settlement from Rush County and they had heard about the film and were curious. Now we’ve been able to make contact with part of our genealogy with the Jeffries families who have a strong connection with many of the Roberts people who ultimately came to Hamilton County.

We plan on doing this longer film on African-American pioneers and we want to include much more on the Beech Settlement and have been able to make contact with a family.”

Regarding the artifacts from Roberts Settlement, Bryan stated simply, “If history isn’t preserved, it’s lost.

Artifacts get spread out and get lost, so it seems to me that we should capitalize on the momentum we have and think about how to preserve the history and artifacts we have and how to share them. I have hope that we’ll find a suitable place on Roberts Settlement and put the story together in a way that we can share with the public and find our appropriate place in Indiana and in American history.” To learn more, visit robertssettlement.org.

Jeff Worrell hosting a CarmelFest Committee Meeting

Writer / Janelle Morrison . Photographer / JJ Kaplan

P

erhaps you’ve seen him working the crowd at a Gazebo concert, decked out in red, white and blue flair selling “Spark Buttons” and rallying for one of the largest Fourth of July festivals in the state, CarmelFest. Jeff Worrell, chairman for the event, will be leading his festival brigade for the last time this summer and will be passing the torch to a fellow Carmel Rotarian, Gary Sexton, who will become chairman in 2015.

This summer will mark CarmelFest’s 26th year. Jeff has volunteered 22 of those 26 years, wearing many hats over the years before becoming chairman in 2012 following past chairman Gary Frey. Jeff and Shari, his wife of 29 years, and their two children, Brad and Amy, live in Carmel.

In addition to his duties as CarmelFest chairman, Jeff has served on the Carmel Redevelopment Commission since 2005 and he volunteers on the Carmel International Arts Festival committee.

Jeff serves on the board of directors for

St. Vincent Carmel Hospital and is a past president for the Carmel Chamber of Commerce. He is a contributing columnist for Current in Carmel and he hosts the local “Arts Scene” show for channel 16 on Bright House Cable.

In 1994, Jeff was asked by Mayor Ted Johnson to help organize a citizen committee that would move CarmelFest from the Carmel High School to Carmel Civic Square. In 2004, Mayor Jim Brainard asked the Rotary Club of Carmel to produce the festival in hopes that the club would help the event grow. Last year, the event saw upwards of 50,000 people.

Jeff pays tribute to CarmelFest’s previous chairman Gary Frey for the development and leadership that Gary contributed to the CarmelFest committee.

“In my mind, Gary really took CarmelFest to the next level,” Jeff aid. “He left CarmelFest in a great position from three aspects: number one, creating a really strong organizational structure of good

people with clearly defined roles. Secondly, he introduced new ideas and tried new things. Lastly, Gary really grew it so that modern CarmelFest is significantly larger than where it was 5, 10, 15 years ago.”

Jeff describes CarmelFest as a community asset that the Carmel Rotary Club has been entrusted with. “Rotary is as important to CarmelFest as the festival is to Rotary because Rotary provides the continuity, the momentum, and the manpower, and it gives it credibility. It allows everyone to come out and enjoy what the Fourth of July is really all about.”

Jeff spoke about the challenges and procedural changes that he had to contend with soon after taking over the reins.

“One of the challenges I had was when the Indiana State Fair tragedy happened soon after I became Chair. For outdoor festivals, that was a paradigm shift in the way we think, train and prepare, that had never been attempted before, at the level of CarmelFest.

Countless stories, anecdotes and mishaps have become treasured memories for Jeff and his fellow committee members. Jeff shared an instance, while not so humorous at the time, that made for a great story during his recollection. “We use the Carmel High School radio station to synchronize with our fireworks,” Jeff explained. “One year, we were working the fireworks program and it’s always nerve racking as you hit the button and it goes out over the air. You just hope everything works. We’re going along and the music suddenly stops.

There’s nothing. No music and I’m panicked. Then all of a sudden, we’re back on the air and out comes Barry Manilow’s “Mandy.”

It takes about 400 volunteers to put on CarmelFest, including eight division leaders and a core group of about 25 people within those divisions, who handle specific aspects of the celebration. “These people take what they do very seriously and they want to please their community,” Jeff said.

“They want CarmelFest to be a great experience for our guests and want this to be something we are proud to pass on to the next committee. The committee is strong and made up of dedicated community leaders.”

so he ran to go get another CD,” Jeff recalled. “Then he explained that the only CD that was there was what he put in. I was like, ‘Are you kidding me? It’s Barry Manilow!’” Proving that no matter what, the show must go on.

“One of our missions is to create an outdoor community event that celebrates our nation’s founding and to pass on the patriotic feeling about our country to our younger generations,” Jeff emphasized. “We believe that is a key component of what we do and why we do it. I want the children to have the same memories of the 4th of July that I had as a kid and that is what we’re trying to preserve.”

The committee is constantly tweaking and looking for ways to grow the festival’s footprint. As City Center continues to be built out, that will provide more geography to take advantage of. This year the festivities are expanding up to the Center Green.

“We want to keep growing and improving.” Jeff said. “This year, we welcomed the collaboration and are partnering with the Center for the Performing Arts on a fireworks VIP viewing party that we are going to be selling tickets to. We will stage a viewing party on the top floor of the Tarkington parking garage. In addition, there will be running tours at the Palladium, post-parade, and we will have some activities on the Center Green.”

The North Zone and Kids Zone continue to grow and provide a variety of entertainment for the masses. The parade, directed by chairwoman Peggy Powell, continues to be a signature event for CarmelFest.

“It is a make or break event as to how people perceive CarmelFest,” Jeff stated. “Peggy holds the keys to success and every year she unlocks the door, throws it wide open and welcomes the community in for a wonderful, professionally produced parade. How

she does it is her little secret and she does it with a calm, even-keeled demeanor. She lets others stand in the spotlight and she’s really just a beautiful person.”

As he wraps up his tenure as chairman, Jeff shared his thoughts on the future of one

of the largest and greatest Fourth of July festivals in our state. “My goal and dream is that CarmelFest is such a great event that it keeps you here and you would invite your family and friends to celebrate here. We are providing an event that is wonderful and it’s in our very own back yard.”

JUMP UP & GET DOWN THIS SUMMER Writer / Janelle Morrison

Monon Center. It is free with the water park admission.

The final bell is about to signal the start of the summer season in Hamilton County. The local parks and recreation departments have a full concert season planned for you and your family.

“It is during our late-day admission so it’s only $4 to get into the water park during that time,” Lindsay said. “It’s just a little added benefit for those attending who want to do the water park activities.

We usually do the limbo and have the live bands there as part of the family fun activities. We will also have food trucks on-site for our guests.”

Carmel Clay Parks and Recreation (CCPR) will offer their seasonal Kids Koncerts from June through July. A total of eight shows, featuring local kids’ band favorites, are among CCPR’s offerings this season.

“We have eight of the Kids Koncerts throughout the summer,” Lindsay Lobas, marketing director for CCPR, stated. “The concerts alternate so that every other week they are either at River Heritage Park or West Park. The kids come out listen to the music, sing along and dance to their favorite bands that will be represented in this year’s line-up.”

The Kids Koncerts can attract between 500 and 1,000 concertgoers. Another attraction is the return of Kona Ice, a family favorite. A portion of the proceeds goes to the CCPR and helps to fund their scholarships, in addition to the Carmel Clay Parks Foundation that raises money to enable local families who would otherwise not be able to attend CCPR’s programs to participate and enjoy the activities provided.

Another family-friendly event series that boasts water park activities and live entertainment is CCPR’s Splash Attack at the

Other area concerts scheduled this summer include performances from local favorites such as Polkaboy and The Flying Toasters at Cool Creek Park, brought to you by Hamilton County Parks and Recreation (HCPR).

For five Fridays in June and July, HCPR brings to the stage the most entertaining performers Central Indiana offers. Adult admission is only $5, while children 12 and under enjoy free entry. Gates open at 6 p.m. with performances from 7-9 p.m.

Performances for 2014 include Polkaboy ( June 13), The Flying Toasters ( June 20), The Jeremy Vogt Band ( June 27), ESB ( July 11) and My Yellow Rickshaw ( July 18). The concert schedule is subject to change based upon weather. hamiltoncounty.in.gov/topic/?topicid=736&structureid=23 Don’t let the summer days pass you by. Old man winter will be here again before we know it, so grab your lawn chairs and picnic baskets and enjoy the shows!

WORLDWIDE PIANO COMPETITION DRAWS TOP YOUNG ARTISTS TO CARMEL

International Talent Academy, the Carmel non-profit performing arts school, is pleased to present an inaugural event: Carmel Debut International Piano Competition for young pianists ages 5-19. On June 19-21, an estimated 95 contestants will gather at the Tarkington Theatre to represent Kyrgyzstan, Israel, Japan, and North Korea, along with 15 states in the USA.

“It was my big dream from the very beginning to run a competition of this caliber,” said Tatyana Komarova, Executive Director of the ITA. The goals of our Academy are to raise the level of performing arts to world-class standards, and to give opportunities to young children to enter a challenging world of performance, to help them discover their talents and reach their fullest potential. I always tell my students that it’s good when someone criticizes you—it gives you a big advantage and opportunity to improve your skills. I hope this competition, in addition to all the excitement and prizes, would be a great learning experience for all participants. I also would like to recognize the CDIPC committee made up of local piano teachers and businessmen. The dedication of these people is amazing and the work they have done in just a few months is outstanding!”

Mayor Brainard, in endorsing the event, stated, “It is an exciting time in Carmel.

Your decision to base this artistic initiative in our city is a welcome addition, further enhancing our mission to make Carmel a Midwest destination for cultural arts. As a non-profit initiative with a great volunteer staff and local support, I am confident that Carmel can provide a world-class experience to the participants, judges and attendees you are bringing here from around the globe.

I wish you every success with the competition and applaud the energy and dedication you have shown in seizing this wonderful idea and making it a reality. I am very pleased to add my support and I welcome all those coming in June.”

On June 21, 36 finalists will compete for placement within six age categories.

A scholarship award ceremony with Winners Concert will follow at 5:30 p.m., recognizing the prodigies of the piano world. All aspects of the competition,

Little Free Library Writer & Photographer / JJ Kaplan

If you take a stroll around Carmel, you might just come across a small wooden box with a window that contains books and a small sign that says, “Little Free Library.” Inside you will find an assortment of books to read at your leisure. Feel free to take one with you. When you are done, you can return it, or replace it with another, or keep the book and “give it forward” in some other way down the road. This is just one local example of a growing community movement around the United States and 36 countries called Little Free Library.

The Carmel Clay Public Library has partnered with Clay Township and Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation on the location of three Little Free Libraries so they are easily accessible and visible. In addition, the library wanted to ensure these initial boxes were evenly dispersed across Carmel, resulting in eastside, south central and westside locations. The Friends of the Carmel Clay Public Library accept donations of books at any time on behalf of the library.

There is never a due date or late fee. The goal is simply to inspire a love of reading, kindness, and community sharing.

Currently, the Little Free Libraries are in the following locations: • Outside the John W. Hensel Government Center, 10701 N. College Avenue

• West Park, 2700 W. 116th Street (just west of the 116th St. and Towne Road intersection) • Founders Park, 11675 Hazel Dell Parkway (intersection of 116th St. and Hazel Dell) The Little Free Library movement was started by Todd Bol and Nick Brooks in 2009. The idea was popularized in Hudson, Wisconsin, when Bol mounted a wooden container designed to look like a school house on a post on his lawn as a tribute to his mother, who was a book lover and schoolteacher. Bol shared his idea with Rick Brooks, who found many efficient ways to spread the word, and the idea spread rapidly.

Library owners can create their own library box, usually about the size of a dollhouse, or purchase one from the website. Libraries may be registered for a fee and assigned a number at the organization’s website. Libraries can be found through their GPS coordinates.

Owners receive a sign that reads “Little Free Library.” They often have the phrase, “Take a Book. Leave a Book.”

As of February 2013, all 50 states and 40 countries worldwide have been involved in the program. The original goal was the creation of 2,150 Little Free Libraries, which would surpass the number of libraries founded by Andrew Carnegie. As of January 2014, there are more than 15,000 Little Free Libraries worldwide. An estimated 1,650,000 books were donated and borrowed from 2010–2013.

In addition to the Carmel Clay Public Library sponsoring the libraries, individuals may also house a Little Free Library to proudly display in their front yard. There are many neighborhoods across the country that boast several libraries, in which neighbors create walking routines to visit and maintain them. Some even specialize in particular topics, such as travel, cooking, or photography, to name a few.

Help in decorating the three Little Free Libraries is something that the library is considering for the future. As Beth Jenneman, Communications Manager at Carmel Clay Public Library, explains, “We may host a contest or we may have teen artists decorate, or even create, new little libraries. This would be a fun way to get the community involved and to have a variety of designs and styles of boxes. Stay tuned!”

For more information about Little Free Libraries, call the reference desk at the Carmel Clay Public Library at 317-844-3362 or visit littlefreelibrary.org.

One established Little Free Library in Zionsville is operated by Courtney and Scott Gorman in their front yard on Main Street.

Decorated with banners, wallpaper inside, and a resident gnome at the base, they enjoy changing and decorating their little box.

Courtney receives little notes of appreciation, new quality books, the joy of seeing others embrace reading and giving, and her children participating in and witnessing it all. Her own life has been warmed by her simple gift of giving that resulted in unexpected blessings.

The sky’s the limit is how the Little Free Libraries are growing, each with a distinctive flair and theme. It will be exciting to see how the Carmel community embraces and brings a unique flavor to the little library. So if you are in the area, stop by and “check out” one of Carmel’s Little Free Libraries and the books inside. Take one, and ENJOY!

Wine pairings mingled with pairs of stylish shoes, clothing boutiques and a sizable group of women makes for a fun and fashionable fundraiser. The inaugural Wine, Women & Shoes event held at the Lucas Oil Mansion attracted a sell-out crowd of 380 paid attendees and raised over $175,000 for Gleaners Food Bank.

“There are 313,880 food insecure people in the Gleaners service area and many do not know how they will get their next meal. Onethird, or 104,730, of those lacking food are children,” said Jennifer Schwent, event planner for Gleaners. “All proceeds go to Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana. The funds will support our childhood initiative programs including “BackSacks: Weekend Food for Kids.”

According to Gleaners, hungry Hoosiers miss more than 179 million meals each year, which equals about 57 million meals in Gleaners’ service area; those missed meals account for more than 215 million pounds of food.

“The faces of hunger will surprise you. While the homeless continue to be the most visible, many who need food assistance

now are middle class families, children, the elderly, and the working poor,” explained Schwent. “The recession, slow economic recovery, and continued high unemployment left many Hoosiers struggling to make ends meet.”

Jill Schuman, co-chair of the event along with Heidi Dilger, was thrilled about the day’s success. “Gleaners pitched the idea of teaming up with Wine, Women & Shoes, enjoying a day with our girlfriends—shopping, eating and wine tasting—while raising money for a good cause.” Upon arrival at the party, “Shoe Guys” greet the guests, presenting the latest shoe trend along with a glass of champagne on a silver tray. “The darling celebrity Shoe Guys who volunteered to wait on the guests were irresistible and charming. We loved the idea and it worked.”

Wine, Women & Shoes originated in Napa Valley, California, and has become a popular sophisticated fundraising platform. Now in its tenth year, it has managed more than 175 events and raised $20 million for charity partners.
