NANCY NOEL IN HER OWN WORDS Writer / Tammy LeRoy

Once Nancy Noel decided to put the building housing her Sanctuary gallery up for sale and that story began to appear in many local publications, rumors as to why she was selling began to run wild throughout the Zionsville community. We thought it appropriate to give Nancy an opportunity to dispel those rumors by offering her a platform to talk candidly about the real reasons behind her decision and “in her own words.�

Taking Back the Track Writer / Molly Godby . Photographer / JJ Kaplan

The Indy 500 is the greatest spectacle in racing. Two of your neighbors have joined the race, and so can you. While hanging out one night, they were discussing business ideas, like the entrepreneurs they are, and the idea was born. Jason Godby, a Zionsville resident, and Travis Tetrault, who lives in Carmel, have decided it is time to “Take Back the Track.”

And so begins the story of Cutters Race Team, or CuttersRT. Why “Cutters”? Well, any true Hoosier has seen the movie “Breaking Away” and knows how the term was used in the film when local Bloomington kids often were referred to as “cutters” by Indiana University students.

It was meant as a derogatory term used to describe locals who worked in the limestone quarries in the area, and use of the term led to altercations between some IU students and some local kids.

A bike race, the Little 500, is put on each year at IU. Thirty-three teams made up of four individuals each race for 200 laps to crown a winner. In the movie, the university’s president invites a local team to enter because of all of the bad blood between the boys. To show their pride in who they are, the locals race in team shirts with the name “Cutters” on them. As you can guess, the Cutters ride to victory, showing that local underdogs can accomplish great things.

Godby and Tetrault have been 500 fans since they were kids and also love what the race has done for the city of Indianapolis. As Godby says, “When the Speedway is successful, it’s a win for the city and for the people of Indy.” And the love for the race extends far beyond the city or even the state of Indiana. People from all over the world are huge fans of the Indianapolis 500. They cheer on

their favorite driver or race team. Families have made attending the race a tradition, and those who can’t attend watch with friends and family from their living rooms. Whether at the track or at home, they buy race merchandise, drag in their coolers full of beer and food, and wait in anticipation for the announcement of “Ladies and Gentlemen, start your engines!” Then the scream of the engines takes hold, raising goosebumps and cheers from the fans.

But Godby and Tetrault want to cause even more people to be excited about the race. They want to reignite old fans who have lost interest in the race, and to attract new fans who don’t know what they were missing. The corporations and the Speedway have done a great job, but Godby and Tetrault want more — more passion, more fans and more people involved. They also want to level the playing field so that a corporate CEO and a person with a regular job both have the same opportunity to play a part in the Indy 500.

This would seem an impossible feat to most. Traditionally, sponsorship means “big money sponsorship.” How can the average American stand a chance to be involved? The typical person has no chance to provide “big money sponsorship” of a car. The best the typical fan can hope for is simply to watch the race and see the cars and driver through the fences or watch the events at home on TV. But what if there were a way to pool the money of all these fans so that they could put a car on the track? A way to level the playing field and bring the people of Indiana and fans all over the nation together as never before. To give the fans a chance — an affordable chance — to experience the race up close and personal.

10 / ZIONSVILLE COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER / MARCH 2014 / atZionsville.com

The idea of crowd funding came up. With crowd funding, there could be a monetary goal that one team, CuttersRT, could set so that tens of thousands of fans could join together to have their car in the race. It had to be affordable for working men and women.

But most important, the choice to become a Cutter team member had to mean more than a push of the button on a computer. A contribution to the Cutter dream had to be a personal experience like no other.

Crowd funding was doable, this they knew, but how could they take it to that next level, the level beyond mere fundraising? Godby and Tetrault decided to make sure that every person who put his or her money on the line would have the opportunity to say, “See that car? I sponsored it!

My name is on that car!” Not only that, they want all Cutters to have the chance to do the things they have always dreamed of doing. To sponsor a car, to go to exclusive parties, to visit the garages and pits, and to wave their rally towels in unison as their car races past! This would be crowd funding for the pure fun of it. Above everything else, it would be fun. This would be the personal experience every race fan wants.

They worked countless nights to build a plan to make the dream come true. After a full day’s work, dinner with the family and kids were put to bed, Godby and Tetrault sharpened their ideas. First things first. The plan had to include a car. They talked with several race teams. When they talked with Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing, that team got it — they understood the concept. They were excited about the idea and wanted to be a part of the movement that Godby and Tetrault were creating. SFHR was looking to help longtime race fans get “The People’s Race Car” on the track.

Sarah Fisher, a 25-year racing veteran, is an Indy fan favorite, having been voted “Most Popular Driver” four times in two separate series (Indy and NASCAR). She also was chosen as one of “Indy’s Best & Brightest Leaders Under 40.” In addition to being popular and classy, she also was the fastest woman to ever qualify for

the Indianapolis 500. Not only that, Fisher was the youngest woman to ever compete at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Now that’s a racing resume.

In 2008, Fisher decided to start her own racing team, Sarah Fisher Racing. This owner wanted to race her own car in the Indianapolis 500, but she was having a hard time finding sponsors.

days at the Indianapolis 500 in 2013, finishing 14th in points.

On Feb. 3, CuttersRT announced they would be attempting to enter an entirely non-corporate crowd-funded car in the 2014 Indianapolis 500, with the help of SFHR. This car, with a driver yet to be named, will be known as “The People’s Race Car.” Now it’s time to get down to business. These local, homegrown Hoosier boys are working to create a movement. Their $1 million goal is set and the team is calling on YOU and race fans everywhere to participate in the Indianapolis 500 in a way never done before.

You can join CuttersRT and be an official sponsor of the SFHR entry, all for only $100. There are various sponsor packets available.

Each packet offers different options for opportunities to participate in trackside events prior to the race.

Willis “Wink” E. Hartman, of Wichita, Kan., heard about Fisher’s financial difficulties. Virtually out of the blue, Hartman wired Fisher the money she needed to qualify her car for the Greatest Spectacle in Racing, and they have been business partners ever since. Now known as Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing, this team has enjoyed many successes, such as a podium finish in the Grand Prix of Baltimore and the fastest Honda driver times on four practice

Let’s do it, race fans! Listen to the sound of the engine, see your car heading out of the pits. Feel the excitement as your car takes the lead on turn four and heads down the straightaway. And as “The People’s Race Car” crosses the bricks at the 98th running of the Indianapolis 500, be proud that you helped create race history.

ANIMAL ARTS ACADEMY IT’S NOT WHAT YOU MAY THINK

Owner Kristi Humphrey/Stewart with Simon

14 / ZIONSVILLE COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER / MARCH 2014 / atZionsville.com

Writer / Neil Lucas Photographer / Melissa Lawson, Bizzzey Bee Photography

Some of you may have driven by the Woodland Shops on 116th Street near Rangeline for years and saw a sign for the Animal Arts Academy. Did you wonder what they do there and why it’s called an “Animal Arts Academy”? Can I drop off my dog or cat there for an acting or contemporary art class? Not surprisingly, the answer to this question is no. The Animal Arts Academy is a premier fullservice pet grooming salon that also provides instruction to those seeking to become professional pet groomers.

Current Animal Arts Academy owner Kristie Humphrey/Stewart is a testament to the rewards of hard work and the success students who complete the Animal Academy grooming course can enjoy.

In 1988, Kristi enrolled as a student groomer at the Animal Arts Academy fresh out of high school. Now with over 25 years of grooming experience, Kristie has mastered the grooming standards of many different breeds and has won several national awards in the competition grooming ring. However, the culmination of Kristi’s hard work occurred when she purchased the Animal Arts Academy near 2½ years ago; coming full-circle from pet grooming student to grooming instructor and the owner of the salon where she actually began as a student.

class pet grooming salon staffed with wonderful compassionate groomers that offered competent individual service to each and every pet and client at a reasonable price. For well socialized pets, they offer a cage-free environment while also providing special care for difficult-to-handle or elderly pets. Beyond developing a terrific staff, Kristi has also made significant improvements to the interior surroundings and in updating equipment.

Kristi warns that keeping your pet in a longer coat during these cold winter months does not necessarily keep them warmer. The fact is that it’s the undercoat that keeps pets warm, not the length of the coat. With light grooming regularly, bath and brushing, you can reduce matting in order to improve the quality of the undercoat and help to protect your pet from the cold.

During the month of March, the Animal Arts Academy is offering just what your pet’s undercoat needs, a bath and brushing treatment for 50% off!

If you have a love of animals, like Kristi, and are looking to turn that passion into a profession or have a child looking for a good paying profession without going to college, give Kristi a call. Today, there is a tremendous need for well trained professional pet groomers throughout the world as the pet grooming industry continues to grow. As Kristi’s success shows, pet grooming can be a profitable and rewarding career for patient, artistic, compassionate animal lovers.

The Animal Arts Academy is one of the few grooming schools accredited by the state and, in fact, was the very first to be accredited. The grooming course is about 12 weeks long and includes, naturally, instruction in grooming but also animal behavior, care of equipment and the business aspects of the grooming industry. Before you receive your diploma, you have to pass a practical test of grooming two dogs, to the instructor’s satisfaction, and also a written test. Normally the Academy offers the grooming course beginning in May, August and January.

In addition to providing grooming instruction, the Academy is also a premier full service pet grooming salon with a staff of well trained professionals, many of which started as students at the Animal Academy.

FORMER ZCHS GRAD A.J. CORRADO DRAFTED BY MLS Writer / Ray Compton

As Sam Corrado watched his youngest son play soccer against his older brother and sister in the family backyard almost 20 years ago, he had the feeling there could be something special someday about the 3-year-old A.J. “He showed real interest in playing soccer at such an early age,” remembered Sam. “He was so advanced. He was kicking the ball even when he could barely walk.”

And, now, two decades later, little A.J. has sprouted from a backyard player in Zionsville to a stalwart at Indiana University and to a probable professional career with the San Jose Earthquakes of the Major Soccer League. After being selected in the third round of the 2013 draft by San Jose, Corrado has been in training with the Earthquakes in California as the team prepares for its March 9 opener.

“It’s the next level,” assessed the younger Corrado. “Every player is that much better.

You have to adapt, but I am enjoying the process. It’s exciting stepping out of your comfort zone.”

Corrado has been comfortable on a soccer field since being a toddler in Cincinnati.

His backyard foes were brother Sam Jr. and sister Torey. The Corrado family moved to Indianapolis when little Sam was 5 and he and his siblings assimilated into the Zionsville Youth Soccer Association.

“He just loved to play the game,” said Sam Sr., a retired executive, who moved with his wife, Criss Corrado, to a condominium in Indianapolis to downsize from their Zionsville home. “He couldn’t get enough soccer.”

A.J. while playing for the National Championship at IU

The exhausting affinity for the game included his high school days.

atZionsville.com / MARCH 2014 / ZIONSVILLE COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER / 21

Not only did A.J. play for the Carmel United USSF Academy National Championship teams in 2008 and 2009, but he also played fall soccer at Zionsville High School. He was the 2010 Indiana Gatorade High School Player of the Year and was a 2010 ESPN Rise first-team AllAmerican.

And he was part of a state championship team at Zionsville. Corrado, Harrison Petts and Dylan Mares (future teammates at Indiana University) led the Eagles to the 2009 championship.

“We had a blast,” recalled Corrado.

“Zionsville was a perfect place to grow up. I had a great group of friends and I couldn’t have been happier.”

But before the championship conquest in 2009 there was the heartbreaking loss in the 2008 title match with Evansville Memorial. Memorial outlasted the Eagles in penalty kicks (5-4) and eclipsed Zionsville, 3-2.

“It hurt,” Corrado said. “But we were determined to come back as seniors.”

And the Eagles lived up to the lofty expectations placed on them in the fall of 2009.

“They [Zionsville] were a very, very strong team,” said Sam Corrado Sr. “There was a lot of expectations, but the boys lived up to it. Sometimes you don’t know how high school players will respond. But they did.”

Left: Perry Kitchen (DC United), Harrison Petts (Indiana) and AJ, 9 to 10-year-olds, whose team won several 3 v 3 national championships.

It would not be the last time that Corrado would be required to bounce back from disappointment. He chose to continue his career at Southern Methodist University, but the stay was short-lived.

He transferred to Indiana University after a semester and never looked back.

“I just had a great experience at Indiana,” said Corrado, a starter on the 2012 Hoosier team that won Indiana’s eighth NCAA championship. “It was a great time with great people.”

Still, there was some disappointment.

22 / ZIONSVILLE COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER / MARCH 2014 / atZionsville.com

The 2013 Hoosiers won the Big Ten tournament, but finished only 8-11-2 and got rubbed out by Akron in the first round of the NCAA tournament.

“His senior year was a rough year,” noted the elder Corrado. “But sports are part of life. You work through things and learn a lesson.”

Despite the team disappointment, Corrado enjoyed a solid personal season. He was named second team all-Big Ten and was third team on the Capital One Academic All-District team. His game-tying goal lifted Indiana to a critical overtime victory over Michigan in the Big Ten tournament.

After the season, Corrado reported to an MSL draft combine in Florida.

“We played a couple of games and I met with a few teams,” Corrado said.

“I didn’t know when or where I would go in the draft, but when four or five teams were selecting, I thought there would be a chance.”

Corrado concurs.

Back in Indianapolis, his father and mother see promise. They watched the Earthquakes’ preseason games on the Internet.

YOUTH ART MONTH DECORATES DOWNTOWN ZIONSVILLE

Writer / Janelle Morrison

It’s one sign that spring is on the way. The historic downtown will become a vast display of artwork created by students of the Zionsville Fine Arts Department (grades one through 12). Youth Art Month, an annual project organized locally by the Zionsville Community Schools that emphasizes the importance of quality school art programs, was established in 1961 by the Crayon, Water Color and Craft Institute Inc., the predecessor of the Art and Creative Materials Institute Inc., in cooperation with the National Art Education Association.

With an emphasis on art education, developing self-esteem, appreciating the work of others, self-expression, cooperation with others and critical thinking skills, participating schools and museums nationwide will be nurturing their young artists throughout the month of March through the YAM project. YAM’s primary objectives are to expand art programs in schools and stimulate new ones and to increase community understanding and interest in art and art education through involvement in art exhibits. Throughout downtown Zionsville, students’ artwork will be displayed on front windows and/or inside businesses, the Hussey-Mayfield Library and the SullivanMunce Cultural Center.

YAM aims to provide additional opportunities for individuals of all ages to participate in creative learning; to encourage commitment to the arts by students, community organizations and individuals everywhere; and to recognize art education as a viable component in the total education curricula that develops citizens of a global society.

Sarah Zack, the Zionsville YAM coordinator and art teacher at Union Elementary, explained the importance of YAM and the

overwhelming support that she and her fellow organizers receive when reaching out to the business community for their assistance in promoting YAM. “The Zionsville Fine Arts Department started the Zionsville YAM in 2011,” Zack explained. “Our mission is to showcase our students’ talents and hard work. We also work to increase the community’s understanding and interest in art, and to provide additional opportunities for individuals to participate in creative activities.

Every time we ask a merchant to hang artwork in their businesses and the SullivanMunce to open up their entire gallery to support our student artwork, and even the library — they offer free art classes and help us coordinate our classes with other businesses in town — we get an overwhelming positive reaction. People are so excited to participate in this and it’s become a tradition in Zionsville during the month of March.”

Zack credits the efforts of all of the YAM organizers, especially those of Erin Goodman and Jennifer Gibson. Both are with the Zionsville Middle School Art Department.

In addition to the support that is received by the local businesses and restaurants, the teachers and students have a close relationship with the SullivanMunce Cultural Center, which is equally passionate for the promotion of YAM. “We love partnering with Zionsville Community Schools during Youth Art Month,” said Cynthia Young, executive director of the SullivanMunce Cultural Center. “It gives students a real sense of what it is like to exhibit their work in a professional setting, and it also

26 / ZIONSVILLE COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER / MARCH 2014 / atZionsville.com

gives the public a chance to see the outstanding work our art teachers in Zionsville are doing with our kids. Creative thinking — thinking outside the box — is important to our future economy; art in any of its forms is crucial to imparting creative thinking in our youth.”

The SullivanMunce Cultural Center will host one of two First Friday Receptions for YAM on March 7 from 5 to 8 p.m., along with Goodman Jewelers, who will host their reception also on March 7 from 6 to 8 p.m. These receptions are open to the public.

The students’ artwork will be on display during the entire month of March at participating businesses and restaurants in downtown Zionsville. The Hussey-Mayfield Library will have an expansive collection of student art on display during YAM. The library promotes art education through its participation in YAM and with the free art classes it currently has available. Free art classes will be held at the Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Library each Saturday during the month of March.

ince Nancy Noel announced the sale of one of Zionsville’s beloved icons — the Sanctuary gallery — the rumors have flown. Some far-out theories have even reached stratospheric levels, but Zionsville Community Newsletter learned that to get to the truth, one only has to ask.

The Sanctuary on Main Street has been home to the artist’s work since 2006. Noel is one of the most celebrated American contemporary impressionists living today. Her sensitive portraits of children and animals made her a household name in Indiana, but her artwork is loved worldwide. From the prestigious National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C., to a remote village in Africa to the homes of notable celebrities, Noel’s work has no boundaries and has inspired millions.

It all started here in the Hoosier state. Noel studied art at Notre Dame and opened her first art gallery in Broad Ripple in 1970.

Since 2006, most of the artist’s work has been shown in the Sanctuary on Zionsville’s main street, and prior to that, a small gallery inside her warehouse at 73rd Street and Zionsville Road.

“People just found me there,” Noel recalls. “One open house we held in that tiny space drew over 3,000 people.”

If you’ve never visited the Sanctuary, the best way to describe it is breathtaking. Built in the 19th century, the former church that houses the 11,000-square-foot gallery features ceiling heights of 24 feet and a chandelier measuring 8 feet in diameter in the main room. Even more awe-inspiring are more than 100 original works of art — some as large as 10-by-12 feet — which are on view as visitors meander through rooms and stairways throughout the structure.

It’s true that if you haven’t taken the opportunity to experience the Sanctuary and Noel’s collection, time may be running out. Noel has made the decision to move her original paintings to a gallery with more exposure — likely in Aspen or New York. She has already listed the Sanctuary for sale at $1.85 million.

Until a new owner takes possession, gallery manager Jane Jimison says the Sanctuary will continue to house Noel’s work and will be open as usual. She says private events such as weddings are still being scheduled to take place there in 2014.

What has prompted the move? Collectively, Noel’s Indiana patrons have accumulated the bulk of her portraits and early paintings, but much of her work resides in personal collections located primarily in New York and California. Today, the majority of buyers are from out of state. Moving her work to a location that has more international exposure will give her a greater audience and will allow her career to reach new levels. atZionsville.com / MARCH 2014 / ZIONSVILLE COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER / 29

“Any artist who would be capable of taking their work to a higher level would do so,” Noel says. “Few successful artists open their own galleries. There’s painting and then there’s business. Most artists can’t do both.” Noel admits that running a gallery, especially one with a restaurant, does take her away from her first love, which is painting. She’s looking forward to having more time to create.

Although she has long felt such a move was eminent, the wheels really began to turn for Noel last year. A unique opportunity was an eye-opener for the artist when she learned how major art collectors and other successful artists felt about her work. During Art Basel in Miami Beach — an important show in the art world — a gallery owner asked to display her work. Among the exhibits were three Noel originals measuring 12-by-10 feet, 10-by-10 feet and 7-by-9 feet.

Jimison says she observed people’s reactions in Miami Beach.

“A collector who had already purchased $4 million worth of art said to Nancy, ‘You don’t belong here — your work belongs in a museum,’” she recalls. “He said, ‘Your stuff is too good to be hanging here.’” Jimison noted comments from other artists as well.

One successful painter who stood in line to meet Noel commented, “You are the real deal and I’m humbled to talk to you.”

KNOWS

Although her audience has expanded over the years, Noel attributes much of her success to the people of Indiana who she says catapulted her career through their ongoing support. The good news is that Noel’s growing recognition as an artist will make those early works even more valuable for Hoosier collectors.

Noel has realized amazing achievements as an artist, especially considering her early journey. The second of six children, she was the only blonde and clearly different from her siblings. For one thing, she is dyslexic and struggled with schoolwork. “I came from a family that was highly educated — graduating from Harvard and Cornell and other Eastern colleges,” Noel says. “My parents would look at me and wonder, ‘What are we going to do with this child?’”

She says her artistic talent was the only thing she had going for her. “I definitely would have been voted the least likely to succeed by anyone I went to grade school with,” Noel says. “But now I know that I couldn’t paint the way I do if it wasn’t for the dyslexia. I always wanted the Sanctuary to be an inspiration for people with so-called disabilities.”

Her academic shortcomings and sense of not fitting in affected Noel’s self-esteem way past the time she became successful. “For years, I had to rely on what people who were writing me were saying to know I had any value at all,” she recalls.

Noel says the Sanctuary has been an important part of her journey.

Creating the space the way it is today has been a labor of love — coupled with more than $1 million in total renovation costs. But even before the first nail was driven, Noel says she was already inspired by the place itself. “There was always a great energy surrounding it,” she says. “If you’ve never seen the Sanctuary at night by candlelight — the place just transforms itself.”

In fact, visitors comment frequently on the Sanctuary’s tranquil and transcendent ambiance. “It’s blessed and it’s magical,” Jimison says. “Incredible things happen there on a daily basis. Being in the Sanctuary is a very emotional experience for some people. It’s a very spiritual place.”

The gallery houses a range of works of all sizes as well as a gift shop on the lower level. Noel’s largest paintings go for $250,000 or more, but some of her small originals are priced as low as $1,000, and her limited edition prints are so reasonable that Noel’s art can hang in anyone’s home. “I’ve always insisted that my work remains accessible to everyone,” she says.

Noel has a strong connection to many of her paintings, which she finds difficult to explain. “Jane has to do the gallery tours because I just can’t deal with all the emotion I feel around my paintings,” she says. There are even a few paintings Noel feels she can’t sell.

Fortunately, she is a prolific painter who has turned out hundreds of works.

for short periods of time. “I have to put my feet on the ground,” Noel says. “I have to be around my horses and dogs. I have to have a place where I can breathe and smell the earth. I can’t think of a better place for me than where I am. This is where I raised my kids, and I love the Zionsville community.”

Although giving up the Sanctuary and moving her work out of Indiana is a big step, Noel feels confident about her decision. She says one of her more recent paintings, “Letting Go,” symbolizes this step.

“I’m not at all afraid to take my art somewhere else,” Noel says. “I never have angst around what I’m going to paint next. When I go into my studio, I’m just following my bliss. I absolutely love what I do.”

Noel says she will always be thankful for her local supporters. “The people in Indiana have believed in me,” she says. “They’ve given me the courage to go forward.”

Her hope for the Sanctuary is that a new owner would continue to hold events and offer a restaurant so that the public can still experience the beautiful building she fell in love with. Perhaps, she says, it could remain a gallery that exhibits the work of other Indiana artists, adding, “Maybe it’s someone else’s turn.”

The Zionsville farm that houses Noel’s barn-loft studio will remain her home base. Still, she’s excited to embark on a new adventure.

“I’m never content to rest on what I’ve done,” Noel says. “As soon as you think you’re good enough, you have a problem. I’m a long way from thinking that, but I do know it’s time for me to take the next step.”

Sixty Years after the Dream Remembering Zionvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Only Sweet Sixteen Team Writer / Ray Compton

Magic had not quite yet arrived in the rest of Indiana when it came to high school basketball folklore.

It was only March 1953.

Fascinating and history-grabbing chapters were waiting to be scripted for the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s storied basketball annals in 1953. The Milan Miracle and Bobby Plump were in the ondeck circle, waiting for 1954. And the Indianapolis Crispus Attucks, Ray Crowe and Oscar Robertson were still two years away from winning their historical climb up the trophy stand. So, it would be easy to overlook the 1953 state tournament, which eventually would be won by South Bend Central, a now defunct school.

Unless you lived in Zionsville in 1953. And, unless, you were a witness to the rousing tournament run by the local high school, known as Zionsville Union in those days.

atZionsville.com / MARCH 2014 / ZIONSVILLE COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER / 33

Certainly, winning sectional and regional titles to secure Sweet 16 berths may have become habit forming in some Hoosier communities. For instance, Lafayette Jeff has won 38 regional titles in the 103-year history of the state tournament. Marion and Muncie Central sit at 37 and 34 Sweet 16 showings, while Kokomo, Anderson and Logansport have notched 34, 30 and 27 regional championships.

And what about Zionsville?

The Eagles have been sitting at one for 61 years. Repeat one. Repeat 61 years. Thus, it is little wonder that the 1953 state tournament still holds wonderful memories and moments for those who carved their name into the history books at Zionsville High School.

A QUIET TIME IN AMERICA As guard Jack Hendryx remembered, the decade of Dwight Eisenhower’s presidency “was a peaceful time.”

Especially in 1953. World War II was in the rearview mirror and the Korean War was winding down. Social conflict was still down the road. America was exploding in more docile frontiers in 1953.

James Salk provided the world a vaccination for polio, Corvettes were coming off the assembly line for the first time and Americans watched in record numbers when Lucy gave “birth” to Desi Arnaz Jr. on “I Love Lucy.” More than 71 percent of the country’s television sets tuned in that night.

And other sports and entertainment stories were still to come in 1953. An 18-year-old named Elvis auditioned twice at Sun Records; a team called from Bloomington won the NCAA basketball title; and Bill Vukovich nabbed the Indianapolis 500 pole with a speed of 132 miles per hour. Meanwhile, teenagers in Zionsville may have been attracted to denim jeans that were available for $1.19.

A PLACE CALLED ZIONSVILLE If America was going through a peaceful journey in 1953, then so too was Zionsville, a farming community north of Indianapolis.

The 1950 census listed 1,565 residents. Meanwhile, only 31 students comprised the senior class at the tiny high school.

According to the 2010 census, Zionsville hosted 14,160 citizens, and the high school on Mulberry Street enrolled almost 2,000 students this year.

“Zionsville was just a small town back then,” remembered Sam Fix, a student at the high school in 1953. “My gosh, all we had then was downtown. There was not much north of 334 or west of Sixth.

There were no housing additions.”

And there were few problems in Zionsville. It was Mayberry before Andy Griffith and Barney Fife turned a fictional North Carolina community into a television show in the 1960s.

“You could leave your keys in the car because you knew no one would steal it,” said Frank Huff, a starting forward on the 1953 team, who fondly remembers when his mother would send him to the grocery store to pick up something needed for dinner and how he could “charge” it to the family account. “If there was crime in Zionsville, you didn’t know about it. It was a fun, fun place to be.”

Socially, teenagers went to the Custard Garden on First Street. Or like their parents and other adults they would flock to the high school gymnasium. Basketball was a top priority on everyone’s calendar.

“The whole town went to the basketball games,” Fix noted.

THE CRACKER BOX Of course, there were other reasons for the love affair with high

school basketball games in 1953. There was no football team at the high school. Boys played basketball or baseball.

There was plenty of room for a baseball field in the fields surrounding Zionsville. But the size of the gymnasium was a different matter. The fathers of the school scraped together enough money to build a “gymnasium” in 1925. There was only one major problem. The floor was too short. Thus, there were two half-courts marked (one for each end) and the end lines were pinched by concrete walls. With a little help, 500 fans could be squeezed in and some were virtually sitting on the court.

“It was a cracker box,” said Fix. “It was tight,” said Jim Barrick, a freshman on the 1953 team. “I was working my butt off in practice one day and dove for a loose ball. I hit the wall pretty hard.”

Eventually, Zionsville built a new home — Varsity Gymnasium (5,000 seats) with a regulation court — in 1956. But for 1953, there was the Cracker Box and perhaps a small home court advantage for the Eagles.

6-4, was the only Eagle over 6-2 in 1953.

“Big Al was a hulk of a guy,” remembered longtime friend Mike Maguire, “and he was a great man. I can’t think of anybody who didn’t like him.”

Wharry, who briefly attended Wabash but later pursued a legal and judicial career at Indiana University, is the third-leading scorer in Zionsville history. The gentle giant averaged 26 points in the two regional triumphs.

“He was a scoring machine and he was a giant in those days,” remembered Hendryx.

THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN The name of Rosenstihl echoes loudly in Boone County. It was Alford (Al) Rosenstihl who coached the Sweet 16 team and it was his nephew, Jim, who starred at Zionsville in 1944 and who later became a Hall of Fame coach at Lebanon.

Both uncle and nephew learned basketball under Tony Hinkle at Butler.

“Even the lighting was different,” said Huff. “It had to be a tough place for the visitors.”

“Al used the Hinkle System,” said Fix. “There was constant movement, players setting picks and rolling to the basket.”

THE HEROES

The style of play worked in 1953. Despite lacking size, the Eagles frequently scored more than 60 points and once poured in 83 against Whitestown. The result was a 15-5 regular season record.

Zionsville was bracing for a strong run by the Eagles in 1953. There were seven seniors on the roster of 10. Most grew up within two blocks of each other.

“I think I went to school with most of them for all 12 years — elementary and secondary,” noted Huff. “We all knew each other and we were great friends. We played baseball together and then we played basketball together.”

And they looked out for each other off the court too. Starting forward Ken Atkinson once set up reserve guard Meredith Abbitt with a blind date. Abbitt, a 5-foot-5-inch reserve, is still married to his date, Louise, and still lives in Zionsville.

“We were blessed because there were no jealousies on the team,” Hendryx said. “We all got along and we all respected each.”

And that respect for the team spilled over into the community.

“There was just a great affinity for our [senior] class,” said Hendryx, who now resides in Florida. “I think all of us could have run for mayor and won. Many of us went to college and we competed for our grades. No one was embarrassed to have their name in the newspaper for being on the honor roll.”

But perhaps the most shining star of the class of 1953 was the man in the center, Allen Wharry. Today, Zionsville has five players 6-foot-4 or taller, including 7-foot junior Derrik Smits. Wharry, at

Rosenstihl’s coaching style could be simple. As a baseball coach, he just waved his arms when he wanted a player to steal a base.

“He was a strict guy, but he was as fair as fair can be,” said Huff. “He taught all of us good lessons.”

THE MARCH RUN

By March of 1953, the citizens of Zionsville were anxiously awaiting the state tournament and its potential rewards.

“Those guys were our heroes,” Fix said. “There weren’t games on television and on Friday and Saturday we were all there at the games. We looked up to those guys. We still do.”

And if someone wanted to break in to a home in Zionsville during sectional week at Lebanon, they probably would not have encountered any defense.

“Zionsville just closed up,” Huff said. “People painted the front of their stores. If you got a ticket, you went to the game.”

That fixation grew with each tournament win. Dover and Thornton (which had defeated the Eagles in the county tournament in January) went down in the first two sectional games. Awaiting in the ring was the host, Tigers, the traditional Boone County threat.

atZionsville.com / MARCH 2014 / ZIONSVILLE COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER / 35

“Lebanon was the big boss in Boone County,” noted Abbitt.

The Zionsville-Lebanon pairing also presented some internal conflicts for both schools. Several Zionsville players were dating girls from Lebanon, including Huff, whose girlfriend, Jane, was a Tiger cheerleader.

“She told me that if we won that I could not come to her house for a few days,” remembered Huff. Well, Zionsville did win (67-53) and Frank and Jane have been married for 57 years.

The victories over Thorntown and Lebanon shook Zionsville.

“Thorntown beat us in the county tournament and Lebanon was probably better than us,” said Abbitt. “But we were only down by five with six minutes to go. Then when we got within three, I thought we had a chance.”

A week later, the march to the Sweet 16 continued. The Eagles spanked Fowler (74-42) and upended favorite Frankfort (61-56).

Frankfort had knocked out Lafayette Jeff in the afternoon game.

“Al was a great tournament coach,” assessed Maguire. “He always had his teams ready.”

11 more things you should know about the 1953 Zionsville Sweet sixteen team q The full roster of the Eagles included Allen Wharry, Ken Atkinson, Frank Huff, Frank Nusbaum, Bob Carter, Don West, Jim West, Jack Hendryx, Jim Barrick, Gene Marsh, Monty Morrissey and Meredith Abbitt. w Don West was only a sophomore on the 1953 team. Two years later as a senior, he set a school record by making all 14 of his free throws in one game. e One familiar face still at the Zionsville schools is Meredith Abbitt, who still drives a bus for the district. After Zionsville won the sectional in 1995, Abbitt was asked by the team to help cut down the nets. r A key player for the Eagles and Zionsville community was the dynamic Bob Carter. He was an all-around star on both fronts and was a key person in the development in Zionsville.

Carter, 77, died in 2011.

t The legend of Allen Wharry continues in Boone County, even after his death in 1995. The Wharry family annually awards scholarships to students in Boone County.

Perhaps time has chipped away at memories. Or maybe no one really wants to remember too much about the day the dream died.

But on Saturday, March 14, the ride to glory and history stopped when the kids from the farms (Zionsville) battled the children from the shadows of the steel mills (Gary Wallace).

y Jim Barrick transferred his baseball and basketball talents to Butler after his four-year run at Zionsville. He later was a pilot for 33 years for United Airlines and served as a Marine pilot in Vietnam in 1964.

Now, it was time for the semi-state at Purdue.

Final score: Gary Wallace 65, Zionsville 56.

“I know I didn’t play very well,” confessed Huff. “Maybe I was scared because we were playing such a big school.”

Not only was Wallace big in enrollment numbers, but they had a size advantage on the floor too.

“They were just bigger and taller,” Hendryx remembered.

So, there would be no Elite Eight or Final Four in 1953 in Zionsville.

No state championship game. No state title. But there are cherished memories. Moments that will never be misplaced or forgotten.

“We all felt very lucky to be part of it,” said Barrick from his home in Georgia. “I know it was the biggest thrill of my life.”

Ray Compton is a former journalist and longtime sports marketing person.

u A total of 755 schools competed in the 1953 state tournament. There will be 403 teams in this year’s tournament. i Sam Fix has been a noteworthy fixture in Zionsville. He taught for 30 years in the school system and served as the athletic director at the middle school. o Though the season was highlighted with games against familiar names such as Westfield, Carmel, Noblesville, Pike and Avon, the 1953 Eagles also played against nearby foes Jackson Central (Hamilton County), New Market (Montgomery County) and Pinnell (Boone County).

1) Zionsville went on to win sectional titles in four of the next years, starting in 1955. They never made it out of the regional in those seasons.

1! Zionsville has not won a sectional since 1995. The Eagles are locked into the 4A North Central Sectional that includes Carmel, North Central, Fishers, Hamilton Southeastern, Noblesville, Westfield and Zionsville. Three of the last four 4A champions have come from the North Central Sectional.

IU SCHOOL OF NURSING CELEBRATES 100 YEARS IU SCHOOL OF NURSING DEAN MARION BROOME, PH.D. Writer / Kara Reibel

This June, the Indiana University School of Nursing will celebrate its 100th anniversary. The year will also mark the 10th year for Marion Broome, Ph.D., serving as the dean. An IBJ “Woman of Influence” in 2011, Dr. Broome began her nursing career in the Army, where she was stationed at Fort Gordon in Georgia.

She was assigned to a pediatric unit and knew instinctively this would be her career focus. It was there that she met her husband, Capt. Carroll Broome. He was a member of the signal corps and is a Vietnam veteran.

“ Health care is shifting to the community. The shift will see growth in community care, with increases in wellness, preventive care and a stronger focus on more holistic chronic illness management.”

leader in research and education, its highly competitive programs have expanded.

Student enrollment has increased by 20 to 30 percent over the last 10 years, and the numbers remain strong. The IU School of Nursing offers a full range of degree programs and has the infrastructure in place to meet the needs of the future in health care.

“Health care is shifting to the community,” indicated Dr. Broome.

She further explains that hospitals will have fewer beds, with increased — Dean Marion Broome, Ph.D. capacity for intensive care, surgical care and emergency departments.

Back in the 1950s, the Associate in Science “The shift will see growth in degree was created to address a nursing Dr. Broome received her master’s degree community care,” states Dr. Broome, “with shortage. There were not many schools in family health and her Ph.D. in child and increases in wellness, preventive care and that offered a nursing baccalaureate at family development from the University of a stronger focus on more holistic chronic that time. Every decade or so since that Georgia.

For a part of that patients will spend shorter periods of community colleges. that study, Dr. Broome interviewed 125 time in the hospital, increasing demand children and their parents. As a result, she for home health care, wound care, some In a recent study released by the Institute of developed a questionnaire to measure post-surgical, rehab and hospice.

One such conclusion percent of nurses should have a baccalaureate have insurance who previously would only was that children who had high levels of degree. Not only that, the study emphasized go to the emergency room are increasing fear reported more pain from medical procedures. The results of this study created the future trend in nursing care would involve the need for access to health care services a baccalaureate as a minimum requirement to and preventive care. Another factor is that the “Child Medical Fear Scale.” This scale meet the needs of the changes occurring in created by Dr. Broome has been translated there are fewer primary care physicians health care. into five different languages. due to specialization, enabling an increased demand for nurse practitioners.

A opportunities with this shift in health care. experienced changes over the last 60 years.

This study looks closely at women returning to work and how to best handle that transition as well as sleep, stress and quality of life after chemotherapy. There are many more studies, all important and relevant, whose findings may help benefit those with diabetes, those with cancer, stroke victims and their caregivers, and teens.

The reach of IU’s nursing school extends across the Atlantic to Africa. In Monrovia, Liberia, IU has partnered with the University of Liberia to establish the first public baccalaureate program in nursing and midwifery. Students currently enrolled at the Tubman National Institute for Medical Arts at JFK Medical Center will complete their degree at the University of Liberia. An IU nursing alum, Wvannie Scott-McDonald, Ph.D., who is Liberian, received her master’s degree and her doctorate at the IU School of Nursing at IUPUI. It was through Dr. Scott-McDonald’s efforts and initiative that this school liaison was achieved. Dr. Scott-McDonald’s cousin is the president of Liberia, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, who was awarded the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize.

Abroad or stateside, Dr. Broome indicates that preparing students for their careers in nursing is the single most important role of IU’s nursing school. With the dynamics in health care continually changing, creativity and flexibility of health care providers is a must. Dr. Broome, throughout her tenure, has witnessed changes in nursing care as well as foreseen changes to come, adapting as necessary to meet demands and to be ahead of the curve.

Research is an important component of IU’s nursing school. IU focuses on symptom management with studies focused on helping individuals maintain or improve their quality of life. Recently in the news, attention has focused on a current study of music therapy with teens experiencing chemotherapy. In an article by the BBC News, “Making Music Videos Helps Young Cancer Patients Cope,” IU music therapist nurse researchers, led by Dr. Joan Haase and Dr. Sheri Robb, found the patients gained resilience and improved relationships with family and friends. All the patients were

undergoing high-risk stem cell transplant treatments. To produce their music videos, the young patients were asked to write song lyrics, record sounds and collect video images to create their story.

In another study, the nursing school is examining the experience of diabetic teens transitioning from high school to college.

Dr. Kathleen Hanna’s study of these teens may help others transition to managing their own care independently. IU’s nursing school is also studying cognitive changes in women during and after chemotherapy.

Little known fact: Audrey Geisel (widow of Theodore “Dr. Seuss” Geisel) is a graduate of IU’s nursing school and received her honorary doctorate in 2005.

Not only is June the 100th anniversary of the nursing school, but Dr. Broome and her husband, Dr. Carroll Broome, have another major event to celebrate: their daughter’s wedding. Drs. Broome have two grandsons from their son and daughter-in-law.

STEPPING IT UP, STARTING IN ZIONSVILLE

Founder of TPCA Dad's Club Mark Kowal with his daughters, Makenna & Sydney. atZionsville.com / MARCH 2014 / ZIONSVILLE COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER / 41

Writer & Photographer / JJ Kaplan

From the time our children take their first step, we scout friends for them. Knowing our children will become like those in which they seek company, we encourage them to pursue friends who demonstrate the highest values that we practice together

as families. However, for adults, it can be a lonely path, especially for those who work many hours and who still want to be involved and dedicated to their busy families. It leaves very little time to bond and share friendships with others of encouragement, accountability and

support, especially for men.

Why is it so easy for us to tell our kids to find good friends, but so difficult for dads to do the same? But what happens when men of this mindset come together, pray and commit to changing the lives of their families through the support of these same men? Lives change. Families change. And if we’re lucky, a new generation of families are created to withstand the challenges of busy and overprogrammed families.

Zionsville resident Mark Kowal felt a calling to create a venue to serve his children; their school, Traders Point Christian Academy; the community; and other men of similar beliefs in order to find examples of godly “fathers” in all walks of life. Kowal quickly discovered that he wasn’t alone in his vision of fellowship, and 12 men stepped forward to form the nucleus of an inspirational group called the TPCA Dad’s Club. Called together as fathers, they sought to create fun family time together — something so many families need.

With this idea, a magical event formed, called The King’s Ball.

The King’s Ball is an evening dedicated to fathers celebrating their daughters.

The idea struck a chord, and 125 men joined them in the ball. These fathers wanted to demonstrate to their daughters their belief as to how their daughters should be honored, loved and assured that no matter what, their fathers will be there for them.

On Feb. 8, the Palomino Ballroom in Zionsville was the backdrop for the fifth anniversary celebration.

Beginning with prayer and a delicious buffet, the evening progressed into games, photos, dancing and laughter, as the fathers and daughters celebrated to the pulsing beat and flashing disco lights. The room was filled with giggles, smiles and hugs, and 315 people walked away with memories for a lifetime.

Licensed, Bonded, and Insured

According to Dave Jamerson, outreach 42 / ZIONSVILLE COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER / MARCH 2014 / atZionsville.com

pastor at Traders Point Christian Church, this event has even more significance in a world where women are sometimes suppressed and controlled. “As I looked around the room last Saturday night at the hundreds of fathers and grandfathers magically dancing with their daughters and granddaughters at The King’s Ball — all the while dancing with my own beautiful 9-year-old daughter Mia — I couldn’t help but think about the critical role that men have in loving and honoring the women in their lives and our communities.

The picture that I saw was one of fathers celebrating their daughters and letting them know how incredibly precious they are, which is in stark contrast to what we unfortunately see in so many places around the world. I get exposed to so many places where the exact opposite is true — where you see the breakdown of fathers, families and communities.

“Just the day before the ball, I was sitting with two of our TPCC leaders who had returned from a short mission trip to Guatemala to work with IJM, or International Justice Mission — as they seek to bring justice to the thousands of young girls who are victimized in that country — many times by those of their own family.

“My simple thought was this, ‘What if men and fathers around the world celebrated their daughters for the extraordinary, beautiful, talented, amazing God-given blessings that they are?’ I’m positive the world would be a whole lot better for it.

Men and fathers — love your ladies!”

So as we continue on the paths of our lives, it is important to make each step count toward improving our families, our community and our world. Let the journey begin.

HUMANE SOCIETY OF BOONE COUNTYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S FUR BALL A HUGE SUCCESS

Last month, Georgia and her friends asked you to support the Humane Society for Boone County’s Inaugural Fur Ball, which was dedicated to “Raise the Roof for the Animals.” Well, the Humane Society didn’t just raise the roof, they may have blown the top off. The proceeds of the Fur Ball are dedicated to help the Humane Society reach its ultimate goal of building a facility to house and care for animals. As a result of the Fur Ball, the Humane Society took a gigantic step to reaching that goal by netting $22k from ticket sales, silent and live auctions and donations.

The community’s outstanding support began when the Fur Ball, held on Feb. 22 at the Cardinal Room at the Golf Club of Indiana, sold out weeks in advance of this, the inaugural event. A capacity crowd gathered to enjoy the Mardi Gras atmosphere and actively participate in the auctions.

The evening’s highlight, and possibly the highlight of the year, was the announcement that the Boone County Humane Society had received a very generous donation of a 6.2-acre building site from Valenti-Held, a Carmel-based company involved with providing various real estate development services. Allen Valenti, president and CEO of Valenti-Held Group, was on hand for the announcement of the donation. The site is located at 4329 Perry Worth Road - just east of Green Cycle, in Whitestown.

While the excitement generated by the announcement of the donation of the building site lingered in the air, Humane Society President Susan Austin stepped up to the microphone to announce another major donation of $10,000 had been made by True-Temp Heating and Air Conditioning, based in Lebanon.

So, on behalf of Georgia and her friends, a big thank you goes out to the Boone County Humane Society’s heroic efforts and the unbelievable support it has received from the Boone County community.
