HAMILTON HEIGHTS YOUTH FOOTBALL LEAGUE RUSHING INTO A NEW SEASON Writer / Janet Gilray

Girls, boys, and coaches alike are ready to charge into the 2014 fall season of the Hamilton Heights Youth Football League.

A new season is set to begin August 4.

Opportunity for team play in flag football, contact football and cheerleading activities abound.

Founded in 1969, the award-winning league in Arcadia is based at the Hamilton Heights Middle School complex, where it draws upward of 300 children to participate each season.

The goal of the league is to build a sense of community while offering all K-6th grade students a chance to play, regardless

of athletic ability, sex, or family income.

(Scholarships are available for families who cannot afford to pay.)

“We are anticipating another great season!” says Doug Ozolins, president of the HHYFL. The league took a state title in 2011 and Ozolins and his coaches are ready to do it again. But that is not what is uppermost on Ozolins’ mind. His first issue is safety. “We take the matter of safety very seriously in our community—especially concussion awareness. Our school system has mandatory clinics for players (of all sports) and their parents to address the issue of head injuries,” says Ozolins.

is now paid to preventing injury and to concussion awareness. In the past two years, all helmets have been replaced with the newest generation of protective helmets.

The HHYFL player safety director just recently attended USA Football’s player safety coach training in Chicago at the Chicago Bears training facility, also.

In the season ahead, HHYFL will continue emphasizing “Safety First” as coaches teach the young boys and girls who live and love the game the true value of competition, commitment, and teamwork, while they simultaneously build on the great sense of community in Northern Hamilton County.

Through the HHYFL’s affiliation with USA Football, more attention than ever before

ADAPTIVE WATERSKIING ON MORSE RESERVOIR 6 / MORSE / AUGUST 2014 / atMorse.com

Photographer / Steven Priser

A summer weekend at Red Bridge Park set the scene for an opportunity of 50 lifetimes.

For the 19th year, youth and adults with physical disabilities participated in two days of adaptive waterskiing on Morse Reservoir.

The event is coordinated through the Rehabilitation Hospital of Indiana (RHI) Sports Program.

More than 50 people with spinal cord injuries, amputations, traumatic brain injuries, neuromuscular diseases, and other

conditions participated this year. Wearing adaptive equipment and with the help of a force of volunteers, they happily skied in the wake of motorboats. The skiers used surfboard-sized adaptive skis, cages to allow sitting on the ski, and a no-handle/handsfree system.

The fun continued for nearly 20 hours but the experience made memories that will bring smiles to the rest of the participants’ lives. More importantly, the adaptive skiing adventure gives the skiers self-confidence

and allows them to grow their feeling of independence.

RHI is a collaboration between IU Health and St. Vincent Health. Its sports program serves hundreds through an array of recreational and competitive activities. Other sports include beep baseball, wheelchair racing, quad rugby, and wheelchair basketball. For more information, visit rhin. com/rhi-sports-program

HANS & DR. JOE CRASH THE INDIANA MICROBREWERS FESTIVAL may seem boring to some, but good representations of the style are not exactly abundant in Indiana.

Writer / Hans Maldonado with assistance from Dr. Joe Lauer Photographer / Eric Meyer

Once a year, Optimus Park in Broad Ripple plays host to a spectacular gathering of both craft beers and craft beer lovers in the form of the Indiana Microbrewers Festival.

Located a few blocks north of Broad Ripple Ave. near the Indianapolis Art Center, this event becomes better organized every year.

Lines for food, beer, and lavatories were as minimal as can be expected at a beer festival with approximately 5,000 people in attendance. Both Dr. Lauer and myself were in attendance, as usual. While Dr. Lauer found some new and interesting local/regional breweries, I must admit that it was difficult to ignore the tried and true breweries I know and love. It is also nice to know someone who can walk onto the back line and get beer more quickly.

ZWANZIGZ BREWERY (Columbus, IN) served a golden blueberry ale that was full of blueberry flavor and aroma and yet was incredibly dry and refreshing.

HANS: I had that blueberry ale, and it was indeed delicious. For those who think fruit beer means sweet and cloying, read: It does not have to!

JOE: For those who make it beyond Indianapolis, there are some interesting new breweries worthy of attention. 18TH STREET BREWERY (Gary, IN) got their brewer from PIPEWORKS BREWING (Chicago, IL), which was named the best new brewery of 2013 according to ratebeer.com. Grapefruit Dead Imperial IPA and Hunter’s Double Milk Stout were both quite good.

BARE HANDS BREWING (Granger, IN) was serving a Thai p.a.(sic) with hints of lime, ginger, and tea. It was quite interesting, and their other IPAs and Pale Ales were good, as well.

EVIL CZECH BREWERY (Mishawaka, IN) poured a Bohemian (that means Czechstyle as opposed to German) Pilsner that took me right back to Prague. Pilsner

JOE: From DANNY BOY (soon to be open in The Village of West Clay in Carmel, IN), there was a solid black IPA. NEW DAY MEADERY (Fountain Square) does not make beer, but their mead ranges from sweet and fruity through bone dry. They even make a mead with hops! Imperial Raspberry Breakfast Magpie was an outstanding mead.

SCARLET LANE BREWERY (McCordsville, IN) won a Brewer’s Cup award for their Vivian Red IPA, which showed as well as advertised over the weekend. Their coffee coconut stout was dry and balanced.

HANS: My friend Leah from TAXMAN (Bargersville, IN) was pouring a Belgian Dubbel that was bone dry and incredibly attenuated (this means that there was no leftover sugar after yeast finishes its meal), as I have come to expect from this brewery.

When people think that Belgian style beer is either too sweet or too syrupy, it is usually because of left over sugar, or underattenuation. The Dubbel had the typical

raisiney character of a Dubbel, but it was truly multidimensional in its flavor.

UNION BREWING (Carmel, IN) focuses on cask-conditioned beer (meaning that the beer is carbonated in the keg) served from traditional hand-drawn beer engines (handpull). I’ve never visited England (home of cask-conditioning), but tasting the Monon Mild, with its grassy hops and soft mouth-feel, from Union is probably the next best thing.

BARLEY ISLAND (Noblesville,IN) was serving a Saison (Belgian) that was crisp, dry, and refreshing, and yet was packing around 8% abv. Owner/Brewmaster Jeff Eaton is a more-than-competent brewer and a highly regarded judge.

BRUGGE BRASSERIE (Indianapolis, IN) rarely fails to bring a little sourness, and their Diamond Kings of Heaven 2014 did not disappoint. While the exact recipe varies from year to year, Owner/Brewmaster Ted Miller had been using the same wine barrel for some time, and it is populated with the appropriate microfauna to produce the lactic acidity for which Diamond Kings is known. After witnessing inexperienced festivalgoers spitting out Diamond Kings at a previous festival, there is always a password required to sample Diamond Kings. When it comes to sour beer—If you know, then you know.

On the American side of beer styles, Ted Miller also produces beer under the Outliers label. From Outliers, there was a strong Blonde Ale brewed with botanicals, Chinese rice

wine yeast, and then aged in a brandy barrel for about a month. This beer had stunning complexity and a very refreshing quality.

JOE: That was also one of my favorite beers this year!

HANS: TRITON BREWING (Indianapolis, IN) produced two incredibly unique and outstanding beers for the festival. French Toast Stout and French Toast Stout with Strawberries could not have been more aptly named and either one would be a showstopper on most occasions.

TIN MAN BREWING COMPANY (Evansville, IN) was serving a stout that had been aged in a Maker’s Mark barrel, and it was outstanding.

This festival has gotten better with each passing year. The available space has more than doubled since 2007, while the attendance is still pretty much the same. It rarely feels crowded, and there are plenty of

food and washing facilities. Thankfully, we dodged the 90+ degree heat that is usually a factor at the Microbrewers Festival. Joe and I agree that it would not be possible to taste even half of what is typically available at this event, so please understand that this article is inherently incomplete. Just know that this is the premier beer event in Indianapolis each and every year.

I have said before that BIER BREWERY (Indianapolis, IN) makes the best and only pumpkin ale that anyone should drink. For the festival, they came with a barrel-aged Pumpkin Porter worthy of a best-in-show award.

UPLAND BREWING (Indianapolis, IN) came with a bunch of their Lambics, of which I was only able to taste the 2014 Peach Lambic, poured by the brewer himself, Caleb Staton. His Lambics have gotten better and better over the years.

BLACK ACRE BREWING (Indianapolis, IN) was pouring Bitter Life Coffee IPA. It was a blend of American IPA and locally roasted coffee, the result of which was slightly citrusy from the hops and roasty and slightly bitter from the coffee.

TOW YARD BREWING (Indianapolis, IN) came in strong with their Horsepower Double Pale Ale, which is mildly citrusy but restrained enough in its bitterness that it could be a crossover beer for those hop-haters out there. It hides its 8+abv very well. Owner Mike Deweese also brought some gems from his cellar, which are certainly not available anywhere other than in his company, and rest assured, the right beer improves over time just like the finest of wines. I tasted 12-year-old World Wide Stout from Dogfish Head and 10-year-old Double Bastard from Stone. And remember that 2004 Beast from Avery that you thought would never mellow? Well, it did, and it was pretty good. Thank you, Mr. Deweese!

“

I’ve had back pain off and on most of my life, not debilitating…that is, until about the age of 40. The pain eventually became unbearable.

With a very demanding job and little time to focus on my health, I sought the help of a few doctors. This is when I discovered most doctors want to pat you on the hand and tell you to “learn to live with it!” Reality is…you have “lived with it” and if you weren’t at the breaking point you wouldn’t be in their office!

I began to wonder if I could bear to live the rest of my life in this much pain…was it possible or even worth it? Dr. Hall is unaware, but he probably saved my life…I was very close to giving up.

After the first appointment at Midwest Pain & Spine, I knew I was somewhere special.

Suddenly there was hope and an actual plan! Dr. Hall went straight to work to find the source of the pain, which actually turned out to be a birth deformity. He discovered the source of pain that no other doctor ever took the time to. Then Dr. Hall worked with me to find the most effective treatment for my particular spine issues.

Now my pain is managed. I still work too hard, but now I’m not miserable…plus I live a more active lifestyle, which is a much unexpected blessing.

Thanks, Dr. Hall and wonderful staff, for giving me my life back!

—Pamela Z., Fishers

GIVING THROUGH GOLF Writer / Tracy Line

In 2002, Chuck Lemasters came up with two great ideas: the first was to commemorate his 40th birthday in style; the second was to give back to his community. Lemasters found a way to do both by organizing his first charitable golf tournament. And thus, the AVC Auto Golf Outing for Special Olympics of Hamilton County (SOHC) was born. Now, 13 years later, you’ll still find Lemasters celebrating his big day on the links while he raises money for charity.

This year’s tournament, held August 1 at Bear Slide Golf Course in Cicero, attracted over a 100 golfers. Participants enjoyed lunch, 18 holes of golf, and dinner. In addition, golfers had the opportunity to compete in a putting contest and bid in a silent auction.

“I’ve always wanted to help out,” says Lemasters, a lifelong resident of Cicero.

BUILDING BUSINESS, BETTERING COMMUNITY Writer / Rosalyn Demaree Photographer / Brian Brosmer

Rent-A-Tub might be the only hot business idea that cooled before Brett Morrow could launch it.

The entrepreneur laughs as he remembers thinking he could build a successful business renting hot tubs to fellow University of Evansville students for frat parties. He did, however, have a successful DJ business there.

If you don’t know Morrow, you probably know at least one of his businesses: Cicero Market, Preferred Tax Service and 10 West in Cicero, Harbour Market in Noblesville,

Crop-a-Doodle-Do in Arcadia, and The Social Experience in Kokomo. The number of people on his various payrolls in Cicero makes him the town’s largest employer.

Morrow’s success doesn’t surprise Gwen Hunter, a fellow 1983 Hamilton Heights graduate. “He was a lot of fun, a go-getter and a leader,” said Hunter, now a member of the district’s school board. She remembers the endless, good-natured ribbing he gave her their senior year when Hunter was a homecoming queen candidate. As student body president, Morrow was the only one who knew in advance who was going to wear the crown. “He had an absolute blast not telling me I’d won,” she laughed. “He’s just a fun, fun person. A special friend.”

His good business sense and heart make it seem like he has the Midas touch when it comes to building successful businesses, she says. “The guy believes in the community and invests in it. He knows what they want.

No matter what business he’s involved in, it’s a good business.”

GETTING AWAY

Morrow majored in advertising at the University of Evansville and set his sights on getting away from Indiana. The day he graduated, he boarded a 6 p.m. flight to New York where he was to be trained as a flight attendant. As they flew into JFK, the young man who had never ventured very far

Morrow is quick to wrap his arms around his managers and staff when accolades are given his businesses. “It’s all about the people,” he says. “I certainly can’t run a grocery store. If you empower people to do what they do best, you’ll have a good business. I’ve got a pretty good knack for seeing talent in people.”

Jane Ann Embry treats Cicero Market as if it’s her own, “and it is,” said Morrow. One of his first decisions as a green grocer was to hire her. The same goes for Bill Wampler, chef at 10 West, which is already expanding to accommodate the nightly crowds. “I make sure they have the tools they need to do their jobs best.”

WHAT’S NEXT?

Morrow won’t elaborate but does acknowledge that he has a couple more ideas for the future. “Opening the restaurant Getting a grocery in town was a high from Walnut Grove asked his seatmate, “What lake is that?” That lake, she told him priority for Cicero residents for years. When was a major goal,” said the owner, whose favorite dish is the fish tacos. “I wanted a Morrow brought new life and a new name with a smile, is the Atlantic Ocean. to a small grocery on Jackson Street that had place to go, have a good meal, meet friends fallen into neglect, the community’s interest and not be a half-hour away.”

STARS WITH OUR STARS to benefit MEALS ON WHEELS

Todd Thurston of Hare Chevrolet and Dianna Miller practice their routine for Dancing With Our Stars, an event to benefit Meals on Wheels of Hamilton County. Thurston is raising at least $1,500 before the event and learning a two-minute Foxtrot routine.

The evening will feature a slate full of entertainment.

Community celebrities are using the dances of old to contribute to Meals on Wheels of Hamilton County with the first-ever Dancing with Our Stars presented by St. Vincent. Eight community celebrities and eight professionals are busy preparing for the Thursday, Sept. 4 event at the Ritz Charles of Carmel from 6-9 p.m.

“We balance our income through grants, donations, and events,” Meals on Wheels Director Beth Gehlhausen said. “We just got done with the Bowl-a-Thon and we wanted something new, something unique. No one, to my knowledge, does this… and it’s fun.”

Celebrity dancers, who were asked to raise a minimum of $1,500 prior to the event, will perform ballroom dances with professional dancers in hopes of winning the grand prize, judged by a panel of professional judges, a People’s Choice award, voted by the those in attendance, and/or the top fundraiser, determined by funds prior to and during the event.

“I have been putting posts on Facebook,” Todd Thurston of Hare Chevrolet said. “I also set up a GoFundMe page and have been sending out emails and Twitter updates.”

Hare Chevrolet has been volunteering to drive for Meals on Wheels, which is how Thurston became familiar with the organization. Thurston, who is paired with professional dancer Dianna Miller of The Dance Center in Lapel, was recommended due to his “Thursty Thursday” videos on his Facebook page, which featured him dancing around the office on Thursday.

“The one that probably got the whole thing started was when I jumped on the desk,” Thurston said. “I like to have fun.”

Thurston, along with his competitors, will receive 10 one-hour training sessions in order to learn his dance, which is the Foxtrot, before the two-minute routine is showcased. “We want to put on a good show,” said Miller, who has been dancing professionally for seven years. “He’s stepping up to the challenge. He’s ready to go, and it has been great so far.”

According to dancing professional Ed Godby-Schwab of the Dance Center, the celebrities have their work cut out for them, learning everything from technique and footwork to style and frame.

The cost of the tickets is $50. The event will include a cocktail hour with heavy hors d’oeuvres, the eight couples dancing,

The professional dancers include: Ed GodbySchwab of the Dance Center, Rob Jenkins of Riolo Dance; Monica Lung of Riolo Dance, Diana Miller of The Dance Center, Xavier Medina (independent), Scott Shook of Starlight Ballroom, Yulia Shook of Starlight Ballroom, and Chris Williams of Riolo Dance.

“I have a 90-year-old grandma in Kokomo, who can get out, but when she can’t, she relies on other people,” Thurston said. “This is for other people’s grandmas. I have become aware of the hunger issues in Hamilton County through the Boys and Girls Club, and I think it is important to find a way to give back.”

Gehlhausen said that since this is a first-time event she would be “thrilled if they netted $25,000.”
