CGHS Robotics Team Members & Mentors Talk Benefits of the STEM Program Writer / Megan Jefferson Photography Provided

FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) was founded in 1989 to inspire young people’s interest and participation in science and technology. The international non-profit was started by Dean Kamen, an inventor, entrepreneur and advocate for science and technology. The program is devoted to helping young people discover and develop a passion for (STEM) science, engineering, technology, and math. FIRST is now recognized as one of the leading, non-profit STEM engagement programs for kids worldwide Programs offered at FIRST engage kids in kindergarten through high school in exciting, mentor-based, research and robotics programs that help them become science and technology leaders. The annual programs culminate in an international robotics competition and celebration

where teams win recognition, gain self-confidence, develop people and life skills, make new friends and perhaps discover unforeseen career paths.

Fourteen years ago, two Center Grove parents and two students attended a FIRST Robotics competition and were fascinated by the program. They decided to start Red Alert Robotics, a FIRST Robotics team at Center Grove High School. Since then, the program has continued to grow.

Because Center Grove High School highly values STEM learning, they repurposed the former maintenance building into a STEM lab to support student coursework in grades K-12. The Innovation Center provides a student-centered learning environment with space for a variety of student experiences including project-based learning, community partnerships, innovative collaborative learning, cutting-edge technology and it houses the Red Alert Robotics team.

Today, Red Alert has 18 mentors and 40 students on the team.

Under strict rules, limited resource and an intense six-week time limit, teams of students are challenged to raise funds, design a team “brand,” hone teamwork skills and build and program industrialsize robots to play a difficult field game against like-minded competitors. Volunteer professional mentors lend their time and talents to guide each team. Each season ends with exciting FIRST competitions.

All students are invited to join, they are encouraged to bring any skills they already have, like programming, electronics, metalworking, graphic design, web creation, public speaking or videography.

“Honestly you can have any sort of skill set to be involved in FIRST robotics, you learn a lot here,” says Veronica Strange, Center Grove High School senior and Team Captain. “On our team, we have engineering and programming but we also have media and operations which does a lot of essays and presenting at competitions. So whatever part you want to be in it’s fine.”

Many team members are interested in engineering. Some kids love to tinker and want to learn how to use the tools needed to build robots — drill presses, bandsaws and CNC routers. One of the most important skills students learn is how to communicate well with one another.

Chris Osborne works for FIRST Indiana and is a mentor for the Red Alert Robotics Team. He is a former teacher and has always enjoyed being around young people. Osborne works with all Indiana teams and helps grow the program statewide.

“I’ve always had a passion for extending learning outside the classroom,” he says. “There are a lot of opportunities to be involved with extracurricular activities through sports, but there are not enough opportunities in STEM for kids to learn the same skills like sportsmanship, the opportunity to experience succeeding or

failing and picking yourself back up again. I love that kids can take risks and learn those things here on the robotics team.”

Every January, there is a kickoff event for all FIRST Robotics teams, where they learn what the game will entail. Students see a game animation that shows them what the basketball-sized field will look like and what tasks need to be completed during the game. This year the theme was “Destination Deep Space.” There were rockets and cargo ships in which teams needed to place balls at different heights. Teams built hatches to ensure balls did not fall out of placement.

Indiana participates in district model competitions where there are three events.

Teams are trying to earn their way to the state championships. There are 57 teams in Indiana, 32 will qualify for the state championships and between 10 and 15 teams will qualify for the world championships. Red Alert has been competing in the district competitions for five years, they have qualified for state championships every year and they have qualified twice for the world championship.

There is an element of defense involved with the game, however, unlike Battle Bots, you cannot damage other robots during play. Three robots compete against three robots at a time. The object of the game is to outscore your opponents, and points are earned based on whether or not your robots can perform certain tasks. Often there are quick 6-12-minute breaks where students need to fix their robots under a ticking clock and high pressure.

“I really like the competitions because I can be a competitive person, and I enjoy being there,” Strange says. “But my favorite part about being a part of this team is all the work that we put in at outreach events, like demonstrations for kids. It’s just amazing to see little kids get really excited and interested in STEM.” Center Grove High School will be hosting the third FIRST Robotic district event March 29-30, which are free and open to the public.

A Night To Shine Mount Pleasant Christian Church Hosts 4th Annual Night to Shine Prom Event Writer / Johnette Cruz Photography Provided By De Kam Studios

Mount Pleasant Christian Church joined more than 655 churches around the world in hosting their fourth annual Night to Shine Prom, sponsored by the Tim Tebow Foundation on Friday, February 8. Night to Shine is an unforgettable prom night experience, centered on God’s love for people with special needs, ages 14 and older.

This worldwide movement took place in all 50 states and 16 countries around the world with more than 100,000 guests and 200,000 volunteers.

Every guest of Night to Shine enters this complimentary event on a red carpet complete with a warm welcome from

10 / CENTER GROVE MAGAZINE / MARCH 2019 / atCenterGrove.com

a friendly crowd and paparazzi. Once inside, guests receive the royal treatment, including hair and makeup stations, shoe shining areas, limousine rides, corsages and boutonnieres, a catered dinner, karaoke, prom favors for each honored guest, a Respite Room for parents and caretakers and of course, a dance floor. All leading up to the moment when each guest is crowned king or queen of the prom.

“There is something unique and special about Night to Shine,” Wright says. “There is a depth to the love that is experienced throughout this entire event, and then when the night arrives, the energy, the excitement, the genuine joy, is like none other. Our churches, our communities, our families, we are all changed for the better as we partner to love and serve the special needs community.”

Heidi Wright, Serve Coordinator for Mount Pleasant, oversees Night to Shine. She is grateful for the team of volunteers and the impact that the evening has in her life as well.

When Night to Shine launched in 2015, 44 host churches and 15,000 volunteers worked together to honor more than 7,000 kings and queens of the prom. Last

February, 537 host churches and 175,000 volunteers came together to celebrate 90,000 honored guests with special needs. With the help of 900 volunteers, Mount Pleasant Christian Church hosted more than 350 honored guests and 350 caretakers for the unforgettable evening.

Mount Pleasant Christian Church is located at 381 N Bluff Rd in Greenwood.

EVERY PATIENT. EVERY TIME.

Wonder 50 Men’s Group Donates $5,000 Quarterly to Local Charities & Organizations Writer / Trisha Turner Photographer / JWcreative.indy

Y

ou probably haven’t heard about Steven Woods’ group of do-gooders. And that’s just fine with him.

After all, he says, the element of surprise is one of the best parts of giving.

“It’s just the idea of knocking on someone’s door on a Tuesday morning and saying to them, ‘We want to give you this. There’s a group that believes in your cause, and good luck. There are no strings attached,’” Woods says.

What are they delivering? A bank bag containing $5,000 in cash — courtesy of Woods’ group. They call themselves Wonder 50.

Four times a year, the Franklin-based group of 50 men gathers on a Monday night at a local restaurant. Upon arrival, each member hands over $100 in cash and

the name of a group or individual he believes should receive all the cash collected that evening.

Somebody — usually someone at the bar, Woods says — draws three of the names from a hat. And then it’s up to the member who made each of those selected recommendations to make the case for why his is most worthy to receive the money.

When the pitches are done, the group votes by show of hands to determine who will get the cash. And the following morning, representatives from Wonder 50 pay a surprise visit to the person or organization they selected to donate the collected funds.

“Think about how excited you are to put on a pair of pants and find a five-dollar bill. These people just found $5,000 they didn’t know they were getting,” Woods says of awarding the cash. “That’s when it gets exciting. That’s a game changer.”

13 / CENTER GROVE MAGAZINE / MARCH 2019 / atCenterGrove.com

that would provide an opportunity for fellowship among those who could be Franklin’s future leaders.

And something that would provide a monetary shot in the arm for a local business on a Monday night.

But he hoped to offer something smaller and less structured than some of the more traditional philanthropic groups in the area.

Wonder 50 got its start a year ago. Woods, a financial advisor, spoke to a colleague who’s involved in a similar group in Chicago.

Woods began looking into his options for organizing something locally. Something that would allow members to give back to the community. Something

Woods started with nine of his friends, who each recruited four or five friends of their own for the initial meeting, at The Willard. Since then, the group also has met at locations like Big Woods, Garment Factory Events and Shale Creek Brewing. And each member provides $100 or more for collecting at every gathering, even if he doesn’t attend.

The men of Wonder 50 come from all walks of life. And while some folks might talk shop at the gatherings, the events are meant strictly for socializing and giving back.

14 / CENTER GROVE MAGAZINE / MARCH 2019 / atCenterGrove.com

“We’re just dudes drinking beer, and some guy gets up and makes his pitch,” Woods says. “It’s all very casual.

Maybe too casual for some people. But all the guys in the group seem to like it.”

So do those involved with the individuals and organizations Wonder 50 has supported. The group’s efforts have benefited causes ranging from memorial funds to service providers.

Interchurch Food Pantry of Johnson County is one local charity to receive a surprise visit from Wonder 50. The pantry used the group’s $5,000 contribution toward purchasing food that is in demand but often not directly donated — items like eggs and white bread.

“A day doesn’t come by that we don’t get a huge thank you and hugs and lots of words of appreciation for Interchurch Food Pantry’s help,” says Carol Phipps, the pantry’s manager. “The dollars received from this group allow all of this to happen.”

Woods hopes Wonder 50’s work will serve as a model to others who want to give back to their communities.

He encourages them to consider starting similar groups of their own.

“It doesn’t have to be a group of men,” he says. “It could be couples, veterans, whatever. By not having any rules, the possibilities are endless. If you’re doing good, and that sparks some momentum from this, then all the better.”

The Driven Life: Dave Bowers Writer / Johnette Cruz

Dave Bowers is a forced to be reckoned with when it comes to the fitness industry. Bowers is a 37-year-old Marine Corps Veteran turned seasoned bodybuilder who calls Center Grove his home. He’s married with four beautiful daughters and has managed an amazing group of athletes throughout his fitness career. As a well-known expert in his field, he’s helped countless athletes reach their fitness goals through nutrition, posing, training and supplementation, all while spearheading the biggest fitness competitions in the state of Indiana. Don’t know anything about bodybuilding? Here’s a short explanation for you: The National Physique Committee (NPC) is the largest amateur bodybuilding organization in the United States that is comprised of different divisions. Amateur bodybuilders can compete in competitions from local to national competitions sanctioned by the NPC. You must place top two in your class to go from a local show to a national stage level. Once you win your class at a national show, you become an IFBB Pro, which is the professional league in the bodybuilding world. Read on to learn more about Dave Bowers and what drives him.

How did you get into the Fitness Industry?

“I picked up lifting in the Corps and never had any ambition to be a competitive bodybuilder, but others in the gym thought I would be good. A good friend and I went to watch the 2004 Mr. Ohio and, at that time, I told myself I would give it a try. Shortly after, I entered into the Mr. Cincinnati event and won every class including the overall award. I even won the “Overall New Competitor Award” which I have in my shows today. The next week I entered into the

NPC Northern Kentucky event and didn’t do so well. I placed 12 out of 36 in my class. This loss really triggered my competitive edge. My goal at this time was to come back and win the Northern Kentucky event and in 2013 I won my Super Heavy weight class but lost the overall to a great IFBB Pro — Thomas Anderson. Thomas competed in my first IFBB Indy Pro show last year. My greatest achievement was winning the 2016 Mr. Indiana title which I’ve competed in three times previously winning my class but not the overall, 4th time was the charm!”

Tell us about the shows you produce.

“I promote three events, IFBB Indy Pro, NPC Midwest Battle of the Champions and the (Mr. & Ms. Indiana), NPC Indiana State Championships. The NPC events are National Qualifiers and the IFBB Pro event is an Olympia Qualifier (the Super Bowl of Bodybuilding). The coolest part about the IFBB Indy Pro is that there are only five events in the U.S. that send 212 & Open Bodybuilding Pro’s to the Mr. Olympia competition and this is one of them. I became an NPC Indiana State Judge in 2014 which developed and gave me the opportunity to promote my first event in 2016. After being successful in many events, Senior leadership in the NPC/IFBB granted me a sanction for the Olympia Qualifier which I have 212 Bodybuilding, Open Bodybuilding and Bikini.”

What is your greatest joy from being in this industry?

“My greatest joy is being able to have the best events in the state and if not in the country for these athletes. All three are held at the beautiful Old National Centre (Murat Theatre) in downtown Indianapolis. I offer many specialty awards on top of the Neil’s Andersen sculpture trophies. I provide the athletes the dream

show I’ve always wanted to compete in by providing the best experience possible. My enthusiasm in this sport has developed many champions and impacted their lives forever.”

What has been challenging?

“Being a promoter, coach, judge, Director of Sales, dad, husband and National Level Bodybuilder is definitely a challenge to balance everything.”

Where do you get your inspiration from?

“My inspiration comes from not only winning many titles but from losing as well. If it wasn’t for fitness I wouldn’t be who I am today. It has been a pivotal part of my success in corporate America. It keeps me structured and disciplined as it did when I began in the Marine Corps 19 years ago.”

What Drives you?

“My wife and four daughters are the glue to my success. From them working the shows, meal prepping, being my gym partners, packing my suitcases for my weekly travels, they are the real success story. I just want to make them proud.”

Erica Shepherd Is Duke Bound After Competing at Augusta National Women’s Amateur In April Writer / Kevin Conrad Photography Provided by Duke Athletics & Center Grove High School

enter Grove Golfer Erica Shepherd will become a part of history in April when she plays in the Inaugural Augusta National Women’s Amateur Championship.

Shepherd, a Center Grove High School senior, received an invitation in January from The Board of Governors of the Augusta National Golf Club to participate in the First Annual Augusta National Women’s Amateur, the site of the prestigious men’s tournament, the Masters.

“I have always dreamed of playing at Augusta National and now that has become a reality,” Shepherd says. “I have watched the Masters ever since I can remember. I never thought I would see this, women playing in the Masters, let alone the amateurs. It is incredible to be part of the first one ever. To be there a week before the Masters is going to be special.”

The Augusta National Women’s Amateur was announced in April 2018, by Augusta National Chairman Fred Ridley during his annual press conference at the Masters Tournament. Ridley stated at the press conference that this event was established to inspire greater interest and participation in the women’s game by creating a new, exciting and rewarding pathway for these players to fulfill their dreams.

The 18-year-old Shepherd earned this opportunity through sheer hard work. Her longtime golf coach, Brent Nicoson, University of Indianapolis men’s and women’s golf coach and Center Grove resident, says Shepherd needs no motivation.

19 / CENTER GROVE MAGAZINE / MARCH 2019 / atCenterGrove.com

It’s everybody’s dream to play at Augusta

National. In addition, with it being the first women’s event at Augusta, her parents, the community and I are very proud of her. It will be a very special week for her.

- Coach Brent Nicoson “As her coach, I don’t have to prepare her,” he says. “She prepares herself. Something she has done since she was young and continues to do. This is why she accomplishes most of her goals. Her golf swing has become self-sufficient. She will be very well prepared when she arrives at Augusta.

“The support she has received has been phenomenal,” Nicoson adds.

“It all started with her family.

Her parents (Matt & Jerlyn Shepherd) have been awesome.

They have supported and given her many opportunities since she was young. She has taken advantage of these opportunities and works extremely hard to get everything accomplished that she wants to.”

Nicoson has learned not to question Shepherd’s ambitions.

“Don’t ever underestimate her,” he says. “When she set her goals three years ago, I warned her that she may have set them too high and she might be disappointed. However, she has almost fulfilled all of them. I quit doubting her a long time ago. For her to be invited to be a part of this event is just another goal she has accomplished.”

Shepherd’s long list of achievements is enough proof to illustrate why she’s a force to reckon with.

She has committed to continue her academic and golf career at Duke University, known for both its elite golf program and academics.

She represented her country as a member of the 2018 U.S. Junior Ryder Cup team and 2017 U.S. Junior Solheim Cup team. She won the 2017 U.S. Girls’ Junior Amateur, and

20 / CENTER GROVE MAGAZINE / MARCH 2019 / atCenterGrove.com

her 2018 highlights included a runner-up finish at the Polo Golf Junior Classic and a second-place tie at The PING Invitational. Shepherd also made the cut in an LPGA event in Indianapolis and qualified for both the U.S Women’s Amateur and U.S Women’s Open.

Even during the cold months, Shepherd practices four to five times a week indoors, preparing herself for the upcoming season.

“During the winter I focus on my fundamentals, making sure they are good heading into the season,” she says.

She is scheduled to play in three tournaments before competing in the Augusta National Women’s Amateur in early April.

“I need to get used to tournament mode before Augusta,” Shepherd says. “Playing in these three tournaments will get me prepared.”

Shepherd has had the uncanny ability and confidence to compete at an elite level against the very best golfers from around the world.

“When I started going places with her on these big stages, I was more nervous than she was,” Nicoson says. “She just gets up there and rips it down the first fairway. I didn’t understand how she could even swing the golf club with so many people out there watching. Her composure is great.”

This inaugural event will feature an international field of 72 amateurs.

The first 36 holes will be contested over two days at Champions Retreat Golf Club, April 3-4. The entire field will play Augusta National for an official practice round Friday, April 5. The final round will take place at Augusta National on Saturday, April 6 and will feature the top 30 competitors who made the cut. The final round will be televised live by NBC Sports.

“It’s everybody’s dream to play at Augusta National,” Nicoson says. “In addition, with it being the first women’s event at Augusta, her parents, the community and I are very proud of her. It will be a very special week for her.”

WE MAKE QUALITY AFFORDABLE

Two weeks for spring break allows for a variety of travel and activities.

Here’s what some Center Grove residents have planned for their spring break.

BEN SEIFERT, Senior, Center Grove HS, Age 17 “I’m going to Europe for two weeks on Spring Break 2019!

Starting out in Dublin Ireland.

I’m super excited because we will be there over St. Patrick’s Day! From Dublin, I’m flying to London and then taking the train to Paris to finish up the trip. Should be a great time.

MIA AGRAMONTE, Freshman, Center Grove HS, Age 14 I’m excited to go back to Marco Island, FL for Spring Break this year. I love the vibe on Marco and the weather is always so much warmer than here. I’ll be with one of my best friends and I’m looking forward to hanging out on the beach and doing photo shoots for Instagram. I also want to go air-boating in the Everglades again and eat gator at Stan’s in Goodland!. It’s actually really cool what so many people are doing down there to preserve the wildlife in that area. I like to visit and be a part of that.

VINCENT AGRAMONTE, Junior, Roncalli HS, Age 17 I’m going to Grand Cayman for Spring Break and am looking forward to hanging out with a good friend and his family,

whom I really enjoy being with. I’m excited for all the beach activities...things like scuba diving, boating and snorkeling. I also want to experience another island culture and see how it compares to the Dominican or Jamaica and other islands I’ve visited.

LILLY ROLLINGS, Freshman, Center Grove HS, Age 14 I am super excited about Spring Break this year. My family is going to Washington D.C. We are planning to visit multiple museums and take a night tour of historical monuments. My friends told me D.C. has amazing restaurants which we will enjoy.

SHERIFF DUANE BURGESS I’m the Elected Sheriff, I will be out patrolling and doing what the voters entrusted me to do.

Protecting, watching over the safety of you and your loved ones and continuing to make Johnson County one of the safest communities to live and raise a family.

So there will be no sandy beaches in my plans this Spring Break. Although I will be doing what I love and that’s being the Sheriff and spending time with my family and the members of the Sheriff’s Office.

As Pamela Bliss walks by the now famous 60-foot tall mural of Indiana Pacers legend Reggie Miller she stops, like most people who pass by, and stares up at the work of art. Her admiration for the mural is a bit more personal than the average passerby.

Bliss is the local artist who was tasked with painting the Reggie Miller mural. After more than a month of hard work, she completed the masterpiece in mid-October. Now, for those who see the intricate detail of the massive mural portraying Reggie lining up a three-pointer with his trademark jump shot, it might be hard to believe that Bliss didn’t even start painting until she was 30 years old.

Her uncanny knack for art all started with a turkey.

“My mother will tell you I started drawing when I was two years old,” Bliss says. “I painted a turkey at Thanksgiving, and she said it wasn’t the typical scribble that a child might make. You could really tell it was a turkey, and that was unusual for a two-year-old. For as long as I can remember, I always had a pencil and paper in my hands. I never considered it could be a career, though. But by the end of college, I knew I wanted to go into art. I’ve always paid great attention to details.

“I had a teacher in high school that told me I couldn’t paint. She was an English teacher filling in as an art teacher that year. I always knew I could draw, but I never knew really if I could paint. I took a four-day workshop when I was 30 years old, and I realized that I could. I just needed to be shown how to mix paints.”

Bliss grew up in New Castle and went to high school in Cambridge City, Indiana.

Aside from moving and finishing her last two years at a high school in California, Bliss has been a lifelong Hoosier. She earned her undergraduate degree from IU’s east campus and her masters from IU Bloomington. She has been an Indianapolis resident since 2001.

Earlier last year, Bliss was approached

by Ben Jafari — the owner of the office building at 127 E Michigan Street — about possibly painting a mural on the side of his building. Jafari, a lifelong Pacers fan, knew he wanted a Pacers legend to be painted.

The decision for the mural to be Reggie Miller came quickly, but the process took much longer. Jafari and Bliss had plenty of hoops to jump through to get the mural approved, between approval from Miller himself for the use of his likeness, the city of Indianapolis to the Indiana Pacers and the NBA.

Bliss worked on the mural many hours a day, often from early morning up until dark, for more than a month. She says the hardest part, aside from dealing with cold or rainy weather, is being up so high to paint the mural.

“It’s the tallest mural I’ve ever done,” Bliss says. “I have a fear of heights actually. I just have to zone out. I always get butterflies in the beginning when I start. I use a lift to get up there and all of them are different.

Some are jerky. After a few days, I realize I’m not going to die, and I can carry on and focus more on the painting. I start from the top down because paint drips. So I’m high up from the very beginning, which helps get the highest part over with.”

This isn’t the Hoosier artist’s first rodeo with murals. Those walking along Mass Ave have marveled for years at the detailed mural of one of Indy’s most famous authors, Kurt Vonnegut. Hoosiers have Bliss to thank for that masterpiece as well. Bliss has also painted the jazz musicians that can be seen along Indiana Avenue. She has even worked with the Pacers in painting a Hall of Fame mural, which resides in Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

But her most recent mural might be her favorite of all.

“I’ve been wanting to paint Reggie for years,” Bliss says. “He deserves it. I’m just honored to have been selected to do it. This isn’t just a mural of Reggie Miller. It also depicts a moment in time when Hoosier hysteria was at its height with the Pacers.

This mural ranks No. 1 for me. Part of the reason I wanted to move to Indianapolis back in 2001 was to paint large murals around the city.”

The responses from the community, as you can imagine, have been overwhelmingly positive for Bliss. Indy residents, tourists visiting the city and more have flocked to stop by and see the mural, and they never leave without first taking a selfie.

The response has been so positive, Jafari says they may soon add a selfie station

on the corner for guests that stop by. The building owner couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.

“Only Reggie could fill this space,” Jafari says. “I always see people stopping to take pictures. It has really been great for the community of Indianapolis. I’m just honored to have the mural on our building and grateful to Pamela for creating this amazing piece of art.”

Perhaps the highest praise for Bliss came from Miller himself. After seeing images online of the finished mural, the Pacers legend took the time to reach out to Bliss and congratulate her.

“He called me one day and said, ‘This is fantastic. I can’t wait to come back and see it in person and give you a huge hug,’” Bliss says. “That was really amazing. Most people are critical about pictures of themselves,

much less a painted portrait. I was surprised, honestly, when Reggie even gave the approval for me to do it. I’m very happy that he is happy with it.”

As for the future, Bliss isn’t sure what will be next. She says she would love to paint other legendary Indiana sports figures like Peyton Manning or Tamika Catchings, among other non-sports figures. For now, she is happy to have her most recent masterpiece completed.

Either way, she’s sure to have a paintbrush in her hand for whatever project comes next.
