RANJ PUTHRAN “HELPING HANDS AWARD” RECIPIENT SYLVIA KEMP Diagnosed with multiple sclerosis 23 years ago, Sylvia Kemp has worked tirelessly raising funds for local MS chapters.

In 2012, Kemp was awarded Volunteer of the Year, raising more than $27,000 for her local chapter in Illinois. In October, Sylvia was personally asked by Dr. Barry Arnason to attend an MS Research Symposium held annually in Chicago. Dr. Arnason is the conference keynote speaker.

Upon moving from Chicago to Carmel in 2013, Kemp dove into the local chapter and signed her team up for the April 2014 MS walk. Kemp’s call to the local MS office was her first phone call when she arrived in Carmel.

Kemp has solicited many corporate donations, raising money to improve the quality of life for Indiana residents afflicted with MS, and for continued research.

Kemp is intimately involved with the April 2015 walk where she will continue to solicit for corporate donations and sponsorships. Kemp was also asked to attend the Fueling Impact Society Leadership Conference Nov. 6 in Ft. Worth, Texas.

Congratulations to Sylvia Kemp for being our Helping Hands award winner for November.

Congrats to our winner RANJ PUTHRAN AGENCY

TOWNEPOST ANNOUNCES NEW “TOWNE CLIPPER” COUPON MAGAZINE AND MOBILE APP PRINT AND MOBILE COUPONS DESIGNED TO PROMOTE LOCAL BUSINESSES Northside TownePost Network publications Geist, Fishers, Carmel and Zionsville Community Newsletters will have a new insert launching in January 2015: The Towne Clipper coupon magazine. Advertisers will be able to target a combined 70,000 homeowners through direct mailed magazines each month. A mobile app called the Townies Super Local App will accompany the print publications with mobile couponing features.

“This will be a unique offering for retailers and home services companies that use coupons to attract new and repeat business,” said Tom Britt, publisher of the TownePost Network. “Users will be able to present their print coupons or redeem the offers via our mobile app that allows advertisers to have real-time, onsite coupons.”

Through the mobile app, users can “check-in” and see what offers are available to them based on their GPS location.

Likewise advertisers can determine which coupons are available to users based on the day of the week, time of day, and whether or not coupons can have multiple redemptions. All app activity is then reported back to the retailers monthly to help fine tune coupon offerings and messaging.

“Redeeming coupons on a mobile phone is old news. Our app goes a step further by enticing locals to socialize their experience by sharing their check-ins through their Twitter and Facebook posts,” added Britt.

There will be two versions of the Towne Clipper print insert: One for the 35,000 Zionsville and Carmel community newsletters and one for the 35,000 Fishers and Geist community newsletters. Pricing is available on TownePost. com/towneclipper.

Nancy Chance

Good Samaritan Network

10 / CARMEL COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER / NOVEMBER 2014 / atCarmel.com

“My husband was a computer engineer and head of IT for his company,” she said. “He had the ability to write a program and get us set up so that we could track the families and people that we served from year-to-year.

We had 397 people the first year and last year we had 22,978 families in Hamilton County. This year, we are anticipating over 26,000 people that we will have served.”

What do these families need?

their families. I’ve had a passion for people ever since.”

As a very young girl, Nancy (Mason) Chance had an innate passion to serve others. While growing up in Noblesville, she would watch from the picture window pane of her grandfather’s cabinet shop on the corner of Logan Street where the judicial building sits now. From there she would watch the people board and unload from the trains that would stop frequently throughout the day.

Today, Chance is the Holiday Coordinator, Founder and Executive Director of the Good Samaritan Network GSN of Hamilton County, Inc.

“I asked my grandfather where the people were going once they got off of the train,” Chance said. “He told me that they were going to sit under the bridge and wait until their next train came to take them to wherever they were going to. Then I asked what they were going to eat, and he replied, ‘Nothing, if you can’t think of it. You’ve got to think of it.’”

Chance did just that. She recruited the help of her grandmother and together they made up several little sandwiches in which Chance, along with one of her grandparents, took to the workers under the bridge and fed them while they waited.

“I took a linen napkin over and did that for two years until I started school at age 4,” she said. “I still remember the stories and the pictures that the workers shared with me of

“It all started back in 1980. I was working with the Carmel and Noblesville Fire Departments and with the Department of Family and Child Services,” she explained.

“I worked a lot with child abuse and was one of the specially trained people that they would have to go out to talk and educate the public, law enforcement, etc. about the issues.

“So all of those of guys knew who I was and about some of the work that I was doing.

When I shared my concerns with the local departments, they asked me to get involved with the holiday initiatives because they needed better planning and oversight. There was no balancing beam.”

Chance selflessly took on the county holiday project and named it “Good Samaritan,” but it was very much in its infant stages of development. She didn’t have a 501(c)3 or a board. She and her volunteers were just trying to solve problems and move everybody in the same circle so that nobody was duplicating services.

“The families need food,” Chance said.

“They are food insecure. If you look at the statistics of food insecure families that are in our county, per last year’s numbers, approximately 25,890 people are accessing food pantries and 10,978 of these were kids.

What we are seeing are middle class families in Hamilton County that would otherwise fall through the cracks if we didn’t have the network. Luckily, we do. While working on the holiday project in 1995, I got the vision that our county was getting bigger, and it continues to grow expeditiously. I could see this burst, and I thought we are going to become one of the big cities where nobody knows what anybody else is doing to help unless we do something to coordinate them.”

Chance took the 20 agencies, nine pantries and nine township trustees and formed a committee. For over a year, they hammered out how they were going to process people in need in Hamilton County.

“In March of ’95, we rolled out the Good Samaritan Network,” she said. “Today we have 262 agencies which include agencies from Indianapolis and surrounding counties that offer services like mental health services, and have a presence in Hamilton County. It’s important to have all of pieces of the puzzle when you have this many people in the county at risk so that you can help a family extensively and keep them from falling into first generation poverty.”

Due the economic downturn that began in 2007, many people have not been able to find another job to replace the one that they had for 20 to 30 years. Chance and her staff have seen an increase of middle class families come in for services. Most of them

atCarmel.com / NOVEMBER 2014 / CARMEL COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER / 11

had not ever seen a pantry nor did they have a need until now.

Chance explained that the times have been taxing on the families and on the service agencies.

“Many of the guidelines for agencies won’t permit financial support for people on that financial line,” she said. “A family of four making $40,000-45,000 annually is not much if you have a single pay earner in the home. They need to be able to buy food, food for their pets, clothing, pay their mortgage or rent, car payments, bills and pay for things that their kids are involved in. All of these can take their money to a very low ebb. When you go into the grocery stores, you’re seeing higher prices on products, and these families have to make other choices. They are making food choices that are not as nutritious and are seeking out pantries to supplement their income. We’re seeing in the 43 pantries a lot of middle class families are standing in line.”

The Good Samaritan Network is not an entitlement program.

“Our program is set up so that if they can afford to pay $20 or $25 towards a bill,

we will help them with the rest of it one time a year,” Chance said. “If you can stabilize a family one month out of 12, they can usually catch their footing if they’re employed and keep going. As a taxpayer, we want everybody on the tax paying side of the line. We don’t want all of this entitlement programming that we have seen grow rapidly. It should not be an entitlement program but a partnership. Our families see us as partnering with them and helping them up. A year or two later, we have seen those people give us $25 or whatever, as a contribution to help another family. We are seeing a circle of thinking not that they got something for free but that they were partnering with somebody who helped them keep their family going and now they want to give back because they remember how that hurt.”

The agencies that make up the GSN meet once every month to discuss the needs of Hamilton County and to develop solutions.

Once planned, they execute their protocols and mobilize their resources where they are most needed. Whether for an evicted family, fire victims or any other crisis situation, Chance’s teams are prepared and ready for anything.

“I have trained every pantry in the county, and they are all emergency prepared,”

12 / CARMEL COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER / NOVEMBER 2014 / atCarmel.com

Chance explained. “I email and prepare our families for bad weather when it looks imminent so that they come to the pantries early and stock up on food and necessities before the storm hits. All of our preparedness and training was put to the test earlier this year. Last April, the Open Door pantry flooded when the levy broke, trapping four workers in the building. They later recalled to me that they heard a funny sound and looked out through the windows and saw the water coming.”

The pantry’s workers were up a little over four feet of water, and they called 911. The Washington Township Fire Department went in with ropes to rescue them. The pantry put their disaster plan into place and contacted Chance.

“I emailed our network and had over 500 people there the next day,” Chance recalled. “We staggered the teams and started clean up at 7 a.m. We had the whole place cleaned by 11 p.m. With help from our volunteers and the City of Westfield with dumpsters, they were able to clean up quickly.”

Chris Tanner and Pat Carlini try the NormaTec Compression Boots

RECOVER FAST: NEW SPA CATERS TO ATHLETES Writer / Pat Carlini

There’s a new spa in Carmel, but instead of soft music and facials in a private room, you will find hot and cold plunge baths, oxygen therapy and compression boots.

Tanner opened the spa earlier this year as a way to help athletes of all disciplines and fitness levels. Matt’s wife, Chris, offers diet and nutrition advice.

It’s the Recover Fast Spa designed to help athletes and others recover quickly and effectively after a serious work out.

On the day I stopped by Recover Fast, I saw the hot soak/cold plunge room which helps reduces inflammation and increase blood flow. The sunlight sauna delivers rays of infrared light that penetrates human tissue to help detox, relieve pain, increase blood flow and even stimulate collagen and smooth skin tone for anti-aging benefits.

“Athletes especially are good at pushing their bodies to the limits,” says owner Matt Tanner who has been a competitive cyclist for 20 years and has learned a number of recovery techniques.

“But it’s just as important to recover well, so they feel better and have fewer injuries,” he said.

when your muscles are pumped with oxygen,” said Matt.

I decided to try the NormaTec Compression Full-length Boots. I slipped into a chair, my boots were zipped up and they turned on what feels like a pulsing sensation running up and down your legs for about 20 minutes.

I thought it felt great, but apparently I only had the pulses turned up to seven, and most turn it up to 10!

Maybe next time!

At 9 a.m. on Tanksgiving morning before helping themselves to their Tanksgiving meal, 18,000 Hoosiers and their families will serve others frst by participating in the 12th annual Drumstick Dash.

DRUMSTICK DASH from 1,300 for the inaugural race to 18,000 runners and walkers last year. When Chief Development Ofcer Steve Kerr proposed the idea over 12 years ago to hold a race on Tanksgiving Day, he had no idea it would grow to be so popular. Te Drumstick Dash is the second largest in the state, second only to the 500 Festival Mini-Marathon.

Tis race, benefting Wheeler Mission, has grown into one of the top 10 events in the U.S. for Tanksgiving Day running events.

Te most important part of the Drumstick Dash is raising awareness of the services and support that Wheeler Mission provides.

“Tanksgiving is the number one day of Tey have been serving the homeless in the year for races, with July 4th being the Indianapolis for 121 years. Current numbers second most popular,” said Wheeler Mission indicate there are approximately 1,900 Marketing Director Brian Crispin. homeless. With zero government support, 100 percent of their funding is from community Te number of participants has increased support – 80 percent is from individuals and

the remaining 20 percent comes from grants, corporate gifs and fundraising events such as the Drumstick Dash.

With feeding on average 1,000 homeless men, women and children every day at the cost of $2.25 a meal, the seasonal spike is approaching. Te Drumstick Dash is welltimed as the need during the winter months increases dramatically.

Crispin himself is a product of success of Wheeler Mission programs. Seeking help for his drug and alcohol addiction, Wheeler Mission helped him overcome his addiction.

“Tere are many others like me who have benefted from our services,” said Crispin.

CIRCLE OF LIGHTS® A DOWNTOWN TRADITION

Writer / Tonja Talley

Magic and excitement will again permeate the air around Monument Circle, during one of Central Indiana’s most treasured holiday traditions, the Circle of Lights.

Presented by Quality Connection and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) #481, the 52nd Circle of Lights will kick of the holiday season, starting at 6 p.m. Friday, November 28, with a free family-oriented celebration.

From the Friday evening afer Tanksgiving until early January, millions of spectators will take in the brilliant displays around Monument Circle.

In the middle stands the centerpiece, a 284 foot Christmas tree, standing lit as a symbol of peace and brotherhood. Every year I have stood in awe of that, and I have prayed a prayer of thanks for the teams of individuals who have contributed their time to give such joy. I’d like to tell you what just a small percentage of individuals have done behind the scenes for the Circle of Lights.

Decorations on the Monument have been a holiday tradition since 1945. World War II

had just ended, and Christmas was nearing.

Indianapolis architect Edward D. Pierre envisioned the Monument lit up in lights and decorations, standing as a symbol of peace and brotherhood. For the next 17 years, Christmas trees, giant candles and small toy maker shops brightened the Circle’s base, while elegant banners with phrases such as “Peace on Earth Good Will, Toward Men” clung to the Monument’s botom section.

It wasn’t until 1962 Pierre’s vision of lights strung from the top of the Monument to its base became a reality. As I have mentioned, many people and organizations have played a role in designing, fabricating, installing and implementing the celebration décor.

Initially, a group called the Indianapolis Christmas Commitee, or the Indianapolis Holidays Commitee, started the mission of what today is called the Circle of Lights.

Tis mission today is the responsibility of Downtown Indy, Inc. Te union electricians of IBEW #481 have always been the organization to install and remove the décor. Two hundred of these volunteer electricians utilize more than six miles of electrical wire, 52 garland strands and 4,784 lights to produce Indiana’s

holiday centerpiece.

In a chat with Julia Saltsgaver, Quality Connection Executive Director, she told me the electricians work one strand at a time hoisting up the most northern strand frst.

Ten the most southern strand goes next.

Te project continues with this north-tosouth rotation going in a counter-clockwise direction until completed. By handling the strands in this manner, great care is taken to protect the structure and integrity of the Indiana Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument in the transformation process.

“Te contractors of Quality Connection and the IBEW #481 electrical workers are thrilled to provide their talent and skill to make sure that the Circle of Lights brings holiday joy for everyone,” Saltsgaver said.

Te free celebration festivities start at 6 p.m. with the televised portion of the program running from 7-8 p.m. Te Monument lightup will occur at approximately 7:50 p.m.

Te celebration incorporates local acts from dancers to choral groups, to singers and musicians, all of whom were selected back in early October from a panel of judges in a format similar to the American Idol auditions.

For the third year in a row, the nine member band from Mount Pleasant Christian Church, led by Brian Tabor, has been selected as the house band. Based out of Greenwood, the group will rock the night away with Christmas tunes in a variety of styles, including R&B, pop and classic rock.

“Yes,” she said, smiling. “We are also excited to have Indy’s own Josh Kaufman, 2014 winner of Te Voice, to headline the Circle of Lights. Additionally, professional performers appearing at the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra’s IPL Yuletide Celebration will take the stage. It’s going to be a spectacular show!”

“We are honored to serve as the house band for Circle of Lights again this year.

Our team is hard at work, preparing music that will help us ring in the season of Christmas,” said Tabor. “We are thrilled to be a part of such a special event in the life of our city. It has become one of the highlights of our year. If you have never been to the Circle of Lights, I encourage you to check it out. It is an unbelievable experience.”

A lucky child each year is selected from a coloring contest to help “fip the switch” with Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard.

Nearing 7:50 p.m., the spectator’s anticipation builds. “What’s that sound?” a litle boy screams from the crowd.

Siting down with Jennifer Hanson, Downtown Indy Senior Communication Director, I asked if the rumors were true.

“Ho, ho, ho!”

It’s the jolly man himself! Santa!

And as the child, Santa and the Mayor fip the switch, I’m sure I’ll hear Santa saying, “Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!”

opportunity to do what I love to do and what I went to school for.

I was meant to be in the culinary arts.”

The Carmel community continues to produce incredible talents of all backgrounds and artists of all mediums. Amy von Eiff, co-owner and Executive Chef of A Cut Above Catering, is no exception to this list of successes.

von Eiff attended Ivy Tech for her degree in Culinary Arts. She also received formal training in Florence, Italy.

“It all began in my own personal kitchen,” von Eiff recalled, “I lost my job due to downsizing when the economy took a downturn in 2008. I had worked at the Carmel Care Center in the marketing department and my job was to go to the area doctors, wine and dine them and make sure that they were happy and content. I was constantly bringing them food and making food in their commercial kitchens. We would have big chili cook offs as a give back to the community.”

She paused and reflected thoughtfully, “That’s where I learned to cook for 300 plus people. When I lost my job, I gained a great

“There I learned more traditional home cooking methods rather than the typical French cuisine that we learn here in culinary school. I was able to shop from the street markets and cook in people’s homes.

“Everyone was so welcoming, and I obtained some really great recipes from the area’s mom and pop restaurants. That’s what I grew up with. My grandmother ran a restaurant. At age 14, I would watch her prepare and cook her food, and she would just shine with her food. Culinary arts have been in my blood for years. When my family moved from Buffalo, New York to Texas, my mother would make pizzas for all of my dad’s construction workers. She called it

the Buffalo Nickel Pizza. It was all organic and straight from the farm. I learned the farm to table concept from her, and I grew up with that my whole life. We were the typical Italian family. We sat down every Sunday and ate for four hours. It was big and loud, and there was wine involved. It was just tradition. We would literally discuss what we would have for Thanksgiving the next year while we were eating our Thanksgiving meal. Food is always a priority for us. I knew it was my calling.”

Add Elegance and Value To Your Home Affordably

She became a personal chef and honed in on the recipes that she wanted to make her signature; for example, her soups which are on the menu at area locations like SoHo Cafe in Carmel. Her goal is to offer a convenience and service to her clients. Many have welcomed her into their homes for private catering services then hired von Eiff for their corporate catering needs needs which in her need to rent a commercial kitchen and take her career to the next level.

“I rented my first kitchen that was located on Fifth street in downtown Carmel,” von Eiff said. “Everything was coming together and I felt that I was being guided along. I started with that small commercial kitchen and slowly built my business.

I brought another chef on. Then my husband, Dave, came on board with us as my co-owner, and he does all of our marketing and oversees the deliveries and events. We partnered with a lot of local businesses to complement our clients’ needs. We try to pull from the community and make the best event possible.”

von Eiff ’s reputation continued to grow and soon they needed more space. Her staff grew to nine employees and they decided that they wanted to offer instructional cooking in the new space that were moving into because they had been doing the classes in people’s personal kitchens and they had became very popular but they were limited on how many people they could instruct per class.

Their new location at 12955 Old Meridian St #104 allows them the space they need for cooking and to host instructional classes. von Eiff expressed her need to give back to the community that has supported her growth.

“I feel that there is a large demographic that are interested in learning cooking techniques and that the art of food has become even more glamorized with the Food Network and its celebrity chefs,” she said. “Plus I wanted to give back to the community, and this is how I can do that.”

A Cut Above Catering is developing plans to offer classes geared specifically to high school age students who are passionate about the culinary arts. They will offer these classes at a reduced, student rate. von Eiff and her husband are proud to be a preferred vendor of the Center of Performing Arts in Carmel. This was a feat that was not

easily obtained but one that they are truly excited about.

“It was a process,” she explained. “We honestly just ‘wowed’ them during the tasting, and we are able to bring them excellent customer service. We also do a lot of food service for the talent, and we consider that a great blessing.” Willie Nelson and Gladys Knight are some of the most recent names that have enjoyed the edible bliss of von Eiff ’s talents.

“If you had asked me if I would be doing this 10 years ago, this would not have been in my top five things. It has and continues to be an incredible experience. For me, I enjoy creating food and now the event planning part of our services. This allows my staff to step up and showcase their talents as well. Our clients expect a higher quality of food, and we appreciate and want to provide them that.”

In addition to celebrating their open house that occurred this past month, the von Eiffs celebrated their 10 year wedding anniversary.

On their “off-time,” they enjoy spending quality time with their children.

THE BAILEY’S: A CARMEL FAMILY ON THE GO! • MID-SATURDAY AFTERNOON

Writer / Ray Compton

Todd and Cyndy Bailey insist that their sports journeys with their four children are really no different than the paths of millions of other moms and dads in Carmel and other Midwestern cities.

The Baileys are tireless weekend travel warriors, proud passionate parents and faithful followers of a defensive linebacker, soccer goalie and heavyweight wrestler.

However, we could perhaps say that the Baileys (whose children are 21, 19, 15 and 11) are enduring and embracing a game of extreme parenting when it comes to the mind-boggling support for their sons ( Jacob and Drew) and daughters (Abby and Brooke). How many of us could survive this type of September weekend schedule?

As the play clock winds down at DePauw’s Blackstock Stadium, the Bailey’s are warming up for an ensuing trek to another college football stadium. This time, the one-hour voyage is from Greencastle to Bloomington and Indiana’s Memorial Stadium. Jacob, a 21-year-old junior, is a starting offensive lineman for the Hoosiers.

• EARLY SATURDAY NIGHT

Post-game conversation player and fans has ended. Time for mom and dad to go home.

• EARLY SUNDAY MORNING

The soccer schedule shouts. Brooke, 11, is an outstanding sixth grade soccer player and plays on a Carmel FC travel team.

• SOMETIME SUNDAY AFTERNOON The 36-hour blitz grinds to a halt. Work (Todd, an IT administrator at Rolls Royce, and Cyndy, a Carmel advertising executive) is now in the on-deck circle for a Monday morning appearance.

• AFTER WORK ON FRIDAY

Todd and Cyndy leave their Carmel home at about 4 p.m. to attend a Cathedral football game, home or away, to watch 15-year-old sophomore Abby perform as an Irish varsity cheerleader.

• MID-SATURDAY MORNING

Todd and Cyndy depart their home and head an hour west to Greencastle.

Son Drew, a 19-year-old freshman, is an aspiring linebacker at DePauw.

Jacob, Cyndy, Abby, Drew, Brooke and Todd Bailey 30 / CARMEL COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER / NOVEMBER 2014 / atCarmel.com

Have mom and dad hit the wall after these weekends?

Sometimes, they confess.

“We run out of gas, as any parents do,” admitted Cyndy. “But this is such a short window in our lives, and we are just trying to enjoy the journey. We take each weekend, week by week, and figure out what makes the most sense.

“But I really don’t think we are any different than any other family that is raising a big family and have a large, 10-year span between the oldest and the youngest. We just do what we do and know this is the stage we are in. We do our absolute best to go to everything or at least see part of a game or part of a tournament. Our philosophy tends to be, ‘If there is a Bailey on the field, a Bailey parent needs to be in the stand.’”

Such was the case earlier this fall season.

Cathedral had a late football night game against Cincinnati St. Xavier at Lucas Oil Stadium. The Baileys returned to Carmel after midnight. The following day, the pair rose at 5:30 a.m. and drove 379 miles (or 758 miles round trip) to Columbia, Missouri, to witness Indiana’s stirring upset of ranked Missouri.

Injuries have stalked both Jacob and Drew on the collegiate football field. Drew battled a high ankle sprain earlier this season, and missed several DePauw games. That injury relieved travel conflicts for the parents, who chose to exclusively attend Indiana football games while younger son was on the sideline.

Jacob, too, has had his injury woes. A torn meniscus prematurely ended the 2013 season and a continuous confrontation with a cartilage tear from a femur bone has sidetracked Bailey this season.

“I was pretty naïve about the potential for injuries at the Big Ten level,” mother stated.

FALL SPECIAL 60

“We celebrated the awesome victory and then drove home,” recalled Cyndy.

est Fina

This time the one-day voyage ended at 3 a.m. Sunday. Oh and the wild weekend included Abby’s 10 a.m. Breast Cancer Breakfast Fundraiser on Sunday and a choreography clinic that followed at noon.

The intensity of cheerleading can be just as great as watching the football and soccer players.

“Cheerleading is also a year-round commitment,” said Cyndy, who also drives Abby to tumbling lessons. “All four of our kids have worked extremely hard and are driven. It is great to see them make a block/ tackle, score a goal or hit the tumbling perfect. But playing contact sports and cheerleading are both so dangerous. I am always holding my breath…and rosary.”

“But I think Jake has told us that if you aren’t in pain, then you aren’t playing hard enough.”

Competing in both the classroom and on the field of competition is a trait that runs through each of the Bailey off-springs. Both Jacob and Drew graduated with from high school with high honors. Jacob was ranked as the No. 12 Indiana high school prospect

by ESPN, while Drew was voted the Irish defensive-player-of-the-year for the 2013 5A state championship Cathedral team.

Meanwhile, Abby is a sophomore honor student and volunteers at the O’Conner House in Carmel. The entire family actively pursues community projects at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, including the annual Thanksgiving Basket Food Drive. It was the environment at the grade school and

junior high level that led the three eldest to Cathedral.

Drew preferred the smaller school route and chose DePauw’s Division III platform.

“The kids were used to a smaller academic environment at Our Lady of Mount Carmel,” Cyndy assessed. “Their comfort level was a smaller environment, and they wanted a school that offered excellent academics, great athletic opportunities, rich traditions and the opportunity to enrich their Catholic faith. Cathedral seemed to fit those criteria.”

“He is happy and loves campus life,” mom said.

The next decision for the boys was where to play college football. Jacob received numerous scholarship offers but chose new coach Kevin Wilson and the Hoosiers.

“He thought it would be cool to be part of a rebuilding program,” Cyndy said. “And I think IU will ‘get there’ by the time Jacob graduates.”

And mom and dad love their weekend expeditions, including the one last year when they went to Ann Arbor and saw Jacob make his first start in front of over 100,000 Michigan fans. And the time this season when they went to Brooke’s 6 p.m. soccer game on a Friday, drove halfway to Iowa City that night and completed the excursion Saturday morning to the Hoosier-Hawkeye game. And then there was the drive home Saturday night (completing a round trip of 730 miles), followed by another soccer game by Brooke early Sunday morning.

“Each game is a different journey,” remarked mom, bracing for several future episodes of the Wild Travels of the Bailey Family.

Jacob at IU practice Ray Compton is a former journalist and longtime sports marketing person.

It was a fictional story that was inspired by the procedures and processes that we were implementing at Detrick. However, when my staff and I went to see the movie, we noted several

Throughout his tenure at Fort Detrick, Anderson worked on the containment procedures and the academic study of anything that could have been considered a bio-agent such as anthrax, botulism, etc. He studied what the bacteria or virus did, how it replicated and how it could be transferred. Then he began his research on developing a treatment or vaccine.

Anderson explained that Ebola was first recognized in 1976 when two outbreaks of the disease occurred simultaneously, one in Sudan and one in the Democratic Republic of Congo in a village near the Ebola River

from which the virus derived its name.

“The Ebola virus is a member of the Filoviridae virus family,” he said. “There are five species of Ebolavirus, also named after the location where they were first identified: Zaire ebolavirus, Bundibugyo ebolavirus, Sudan ebolavirus, Tai Forest ebolavirus, and Reston ebolavirus. Only the first three have been associated with human outbreaks causing deaths in Africa. Tai Forest Ebolavirus has infected one person who survived the disease. The virus associated with the current, multi-country outbreak in Africa is the Zaire species.

“The viral host of Ebola virus is thought to be fruit bats of the Pteropodidae family.

The introduction of the Ebola virus into human populations is from close contact with the blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of infected animals such as chimpanzees, gorillas, monkeys, fruit bats or forest antelope in the rainforest areas.

Prior outbreaks have been in more remote villages in Africa. The current outbreak

36 / CARMEL COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER / NOVEMBER 2014 / atCarmel.com

(with the most cases and more deaths than all previous outbreaks combined) has affected more urban areas, and starting in Guinea has spread to Sierra Leone and Liberia. There have been a few infected, but asymptomatic travelers who have become ill after arrival in other African countries (Senegal and Nigeria) as well as Europe and the U.S. Human-to-human transmission of Ebola is by direct contact through broken skin or mucus membranes (eyes, mouth) with the blood, secretions, organs, or bodily fluids of infected people or their clothing or bedding contaminated with these fluids. Ebola is not transmitted by causal contact or airborne sources like the flu, and infected people are not contagious until they have symptoms.

The incubation period, the time from infection to onset of symptoms, is two to 21 days with most people becoming symptomatic in the first seven to 10 days. First symptoms are sudden onset of fever, fatigue, muscle pain, headache and sore throat. These symptoms are later followed by vomiting and diarrhea, and later by kidney and liver failure with internal and external bleeding.”

There are not yet any proven effective vaccines or specific treatments for Ebola virus, but multiple companies and institutions around the world are working intensively on gaining understanding of the disease, developing drugs that can be effective in destroying the virus or reducing its effect, and in developing both human and animal vaccines. Three potential human vaccines will begin human testing in the next few months. Several anti-viral drugs have been used experimentally with mixed results. Early and intensive supportive care with rehydration significantly improves survival. Several patients who have done well have been treated with transfusions of plasma containing antiEbola antibodies from patients who have recovered from Ebola virus disease.

“Quarantine of exposed individuals, isolation and supportive care of infected people, strict avoidance of direct contact with infectious materials and fluids, and effective education to eliminate human contact with dead or dying animals potentially infected with Ebola will be the most effective solution to eliminating the current outbreak,” said Anderson.

About that fifth species of Ebola virus identified in the U.S, while investigating an outbreak of Simian hemorrhagic fever in crab-eating Macaque monkeys imported from Indonesia via a holding facility in the Philippines to Hazelton Laboratories in Reston, Virginia, an electron microscopist from USAMRIID discovered filoviruses in the tissue samples. Dr. Peter Jarhling isolated the filovirus, which was identified as a member of the Ebola family and named Reston Ebola virus (RESTV). Despite close human exposure, the Reston Ebola virus has not caused illness in humans, although it is lethal in monkeys.”

In summary, Dr. Anderson stated, “The better the health that you’re in and the earlier that you get treatment, the more likely you are to survive a disease like Ebola. As concerned citizens, health care providers, etc., supporting the efforts of the organizations and groups that are working directly with the epidemic in Africa is the best thing we can do to prevent the spread of the problems associated with the epidemic, rather than

only placing the focus on preventing the epidemic from coming here. Africa has at least 2,000 orphans whose parents have died from Ebola and the children are now stigmatized and abandoned. For the few people who have been exposed in the U.S. and are in quarantine, they should remain in quarantine for the 21 days and when flying, in addition to screening and taking temperatures, we are all relying on the integrity of travelers to be truthful.”

While Indiana is not a native home to fruit bats, gorillas, chimpanzees or forest antelope or Ebola virus, residents can eliminate their risk of exposure to other diseases by avoiding contact with ill or dead animals. Unless you or someone close to you is a humanitarian aid worker working in Sierra Leone, Guinea, and Liberia or along side a patient who has been recently named in the news media, your risk of contracting the Ebola virus is significantly minimalized.

People should be proactive in remaining informed. Education is the best weapon to eliminating fear, developing solutions and saving lives.

BOTTOMS UP Writer / Marcia Vigren

Four days later, Springer’s very frst Botoms Up prototype was created in his stand-alone An icy cold beer straight from the tap… garage in Washington state. Afer taking yum! Waiting in a half-hour line at the a week of work to create a refrigerator Colts game to acquire said libation…yuck! dispensing unit, he was able to try it out at Tanks to Josh Springer and his Botoms Up a local festival where it was a huge success. creation, the line is reduced or eliminated, Springer never went back to work, and and the icy cold beer has a perfect head.

GrinOn Industries was born. In 2011, the company moved to Indianapolis to be closer Let’s start from the beginning…2008. to their suppliers and more centrally located.

At Josh Springer’s dad’s birthday party, Springer envisioned a beer being flled from How exactly does Botoms Up work? you the botom of the glass and announced ask. Let’s start with the cup. To fll a cup how cool such a device would be. Knowing from the botom up, there needs to be a his personality, Springer’s dad challenged hole in the botom, correct? But a hole in him, saying: “If it could be done, somebody the cup is needed during the flling process would have already done it.” then needs to be sealed during the drinking process, right? Right. So Springer infused a

metal ring around the hole in the botom of the cup and stuck a strong magnet on top.

Let’s move on to the dispensing system.

When the cup is pushed down onto the nozzle, it pushes the magnet up and allows beer to fow into the cup until it is full, at which time the system stops. When the operator is ready to grab the beer, she pulls the cup up of the nozzle, and the magnet foats back down to seal the hole before more than a thimbleful of beer spills out into the drain. How cool is that?

Even beter for the user is the fact that Botoms Up produces a perfect foam head, meaning less foam needing to be poured out. Even beter is that multiple beers can

More beer is sold, and hardly any beer is wasted. Te customers beneft from shorter lines, the perfectly poured beer and a reward souvenir magnet for drinking all their ale.

Even advertisers can beneft by placing their logo onto the magnets.

Banker’s Life Fieldhouse is an example of how Botoms Up can beneft a venue. With the Botoms Up System, their beer sales increased by 30 percent, their mixed drinks increased by 30 percent and they did it with nine less kegs.

It’s genius!

Tat’s exactly how I would describe Springer – genius. He never fnished college – not because he couldn’t, but rather because he didn’t need to. He invented the product, created the business and even developed the assembly lines.

But that doesn’t mean he didn’t encounter obstacles.

“Doing something that’s never been done before and geting people to understand and wrap their minds around it [was a challenge],” Springer said. “For example, it was difcult to fnd a manufacturer for the dispenser or cups, so we decided to just do it ourselves.”

Botoms Up dispensers have found residence in 49 states (except stubborn Rhode Island), Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Italy, Scandinavia, Germany, Norway and soon the UK. Growth is in the future for GrinOn Industries, according to Springer. Tey are also working on producing reusable glassware and pitchers for their systems and expanding their home units (yes, you can have a system in your basement!) and commercial sales. Tey are currently in a fundraising stage and looking for accredited investors.

I encourage you to check out their website at BotomsUpBeer.com, at the very least, for a visual of how the system works.

Cheers!

Building a Literary Legacy

read, there is nothing in this world they can’t do.”

The CCPL’s Foundation president, Anne Hensley Poindexter, spoke about the focus of this year’s initiatives during the centennial celebration of Carmel’s Carnegie Library that kicked off earlier this year.

“Public libraries are a necessity for an informed, civilized and democratic society,” Anne said. “The foundation exists simply to raise funds for our wonderful library, and the guild is a part of the foundation. The foundation’s next goal, the goal that we’ve been focusing on this year, is building a permanent endowment for the library. A long time guild member and her husband approached us in quiet conversation to talk about a potential gift. That discussion resulted in their commitment and the formation of the Centennial Society."

Murphy shared her passion for literacy and the importance of books in today’s technological realm.

Poindexter then introduced the benefactors and founders of the Centennial Society, Jim and Joyce Winner of Carmel. Joyce Winner is a member of the Guild and has chaired the Guilded Leaf Book and Author Luncheon in the past. I sat down with the Winners and learned more about their passion for the library and why they decided to create and launch an endowment campaign for their local library.

“I spent almost all of my summer days in that library,” Andy said. “If we could get more children into libraries, I think that it would instill in them a sense that there is a world out there to discover. If a child can

older you start looking at what things make a difference in life.

pretty simple: we love Carmel. We moved here eight years ago from Pennsylvania and we just fell in love with this place. We have such a sense of community and adore our neighbors. In our opinion, Carmel just offers it all. We think it’s very progressive.

There’s so much energy and growth and it’s exciting. I was unable to have children so being involved with the library and children’s advocacy kind of makes me feel like I can grandparent a little bit. I think you have to find something that means something to you and the library is a great place to learn. We just felt that this is something that we believe in and our families believed in, so we want to help the next generation.”

Jim reflected on his upbringing and why assisting the local library is important for him.

“I try to look at things from a global perspective,” he said. “I think that some of the things that make this city what it is, are the educational opportunities that we afford the children here and the library is a big part of that. I was raised in a rural setting. We never went to the library. We were outside working on our farm most of the time and I never had much exposure to a library outside of high school.

“I didn’t come to appreciate libraries until we came here,” Jim said. "Every time that I go to the library, it’s busy. It could be the in the heat of the summer or in the dead of winter, it’s busy and there are all ages of people there utilizing it. That is a sign of the health of the city.

It made it very easy for us to make the decision to get behind the library and be a part of it. I was raised where you tithed and the giving didn’t really start until it meant you had to sacrifice something that you wanted for yourself. That is when the giving became something of importance. I hope that we can encourage others, specifically in our age bracket, to take a look at things or causes that are important to their children and grandchildren and support those.”

friend and partner, Linda Kennen, in developing the Centennial Society. She sits of the CCPL Foundation Board of Directors and is a member of the Guild.

Linda and Joyce had several discussions that eventually led to the creation of the Centennial Society and have feverishly been working on this campaign throughout the year. They are currently near their goal of $100,000, which will be matched by the Winners. But they are reaching out to their community to fulfill their goal before the end of 2014.

“This is the single largest private gift that the foundation for this library has ever received,” Linda said. “I wanted to do this campaign justice and design something that has even greater longevity. We’re talking about people [the Winners] who are visionaries. We’re talking about legacy.”

that it continues at the level at which it is today is to establish an endowment, which is nothing more than an insurance policy. It is a consensus of the people that are involved in the library today that say they want to be a part of whatever the financial instrument is that guarantees that their children, their grandchildren and the people who will

come after us will always be able to enjoy this library at the level that we currently enjoy it today.”

Upon meeting with the Winners, Linda met with the CCPL Director Wendy Phillips and the Foundation Director Ruth Nisenshal. They discussed how it would be structured and that the Winners’ gift would help establish an endowment for the library.

“With a publicly funded institution, people ask why it needs an endowment,” Linda said. “Its income stream relies entirely on your tax dollars. If the legislature decides that the formula that they use changes, then the percentage that your library or any other citysupported entity receives can change.

In that scenario, the Carmel Clay Public Library that currently operates on a multimillion-dollar-a-year budget is rated number 4 in the nation for a population of this size can instantly be just a lovely building that can only afford to offer traditional library programming and services.

“It would change the library’s ability to offer the programming that makes it the institution that it is," she said. "The library is never going to not exist, but could it exist on many different levels?

Zach, Beth, Faith, Max, Rachel & Marshall

VOLUNTEERING FOR SALVATION ARMY CAN BE A FAMILY AFFAIR When Max and Beth Murphy volunteered to collect coats at Lucas Oil Stadium seven years ago, it was the beginning of a family tradition. The entire family, including Marshall, 15, Zach, 14, Faith, 8, and Rachel, 7, has become regular volunteers for The Salvation Army in both Hamilton and Marion counties.

them to look beyond themselves and say, ‘Life isn’t just about me and what I can get out of it, but what can I do to look beyond myself,’ especially when people are in different life situations than they’re in. It’s helping them expand their vision of what’s going on in the world.”

Max is known better as “Pastor Max” at Carmel Lutheran Church, where he has been a music leader since the family moved to Carmel 10 years ago. After a trip to southern Indiana with his church band to perform at The Salvation Army’s sprawling Hidden Falls Camp, Max became more familiar with the international organization and its work in Indiana. As a home educator, Beth was seeking enrichment activities for their children that would impart life lessons and help others.

From ringing bells at the O’Malia’s down the road to sorting coats behind the scenes at Coats for Kids, the entire family has lent a hand at a variety of events over the years. Marshall, who’s positive attitude and volunteer spirit earned him The Salvation Army’s Youth Volunteer of the Year Award in 2012, loves helping kids choose coats or parents find the perfect gifts for their kids at Toy Shop each December.

“I really see the benefits,” Max said when describing the effect that volunteering as a family has had on his kids. “The kids see us involved and giving. It’s not about us all the time. We really want

“I would definitely encourage people to at least try it out because you’re going to get a lot out of it, helping people out and spreading God’s love,” said Marshall.

56 / CARMEL COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER / NOVEMBER 2014 / atCarmel.com

He and Zach have spent years volunteering, and Faith and Rachel are ready to follow in their brother’s footsteps.

“For them it’s more of the excitement, the anticipation,” said Beth. “Some things they’re not able to help with because they’re little. ‘Can we go this year?’ and ‘When can we do Coats for Kids?’ They definitely look forward to doing some of the things that their brothers have done.”

The whole family was able to volunteer at a special event at the Ruth Lilly Women and Children’s Center, a shelter in downtown Indianapolis that is part of The Salvation Army’s Block of Hope. Carmel Lutheran helped stage a carnival at the shelter – complete with games, a red kettle bounce house and grilled hot dogs – to bring some fun and joy to families in desperate need of a little extra light in their lives. It also gave the Murphys an inside look at why their time ringing a bell means so much to people in need.

“Showing love and mercy goes beyond denominational lines,” says Max. “The Salvation Army is in so many places, and they do what other churches aren’t doing in some ways. There’s always something going on at The Salvation Army. Every day there is something somewhere where you can serve.”

It’s 1968! Pete Bartel and Keely Stevens are a hugely popular singing duo who topped the charts in the late ‘50s and early ’60s.

The first four notes of Beethoven’s beloved 5th Symphony make up one of the most recognizable themes in the entire symphonic repertoire.
