RANJ PUTHRAN "HELPING HANDS AWARD" RECIPIENTS dedicated leader with the Boy Scouts prior to her service at the Children’s Bureau, where she is a sustaining member and was president during 2001-2002.

Along with their close friends and family, the Sniders have organized countless civicminded projects, hay rides and hotdogs, Santa House and VIP Christmas sleigh remodeling projects, Lions Park cleanup initiatives, Trick or Beers in their neighborhood — and the list goes on and on.

Zionsville residents Steve and Vicki Snider were recognized for their years of service and a host of contributions they’ve made to their hometown over the last 16 years.

The Ranj Puthran Agency’s monthly “Helping Hands Award” recognizes individuals, couples or groups that make a difference in the community. Steve and Vicki have three children and six grandchildren and have been married 47 years — or, as Steve said, “not long enough!”

They have both been members of the Zionsville Lions Club for 12 years.

Together they were named Zionsville’s Town Crier in 2006. Steve has received awards of distinction from the Lions Club, including the Melvin Jones, Woods and Eagle Victory award. He just received an award from the Masonic Lodge for his 50-year membership.

Vicki also is exemplary and has been awarded the Woods and Miyamoto Awards, tenure and memberships awards. She was a

“We do most everything together. It’s the only way she can keep track of me,” Steve says.

When asked what the value is in serving a community, Vicki said, “If you are a part of your community, then you feel like you belong and it gives you self-esteem.”

The Ranj Puthran Agency “Helping Hands Award” is awarded monthly to recognize outstanding volunteers in the Zionsville community.

Ballymaloe & Soda Bread Too! Writer & Photographer / JJ Kaplan

As I was ushered into Catharine (“Cathy” to her friends) Richardson’s sunlit kitchen, she invited me to sit down and have a “Ballymaloe type of day.” I needed a little help in understanding exactly what that meant. She informed me that one should have fun, embrace their roots and enjoy fellowship with, of course, some delectable food to boot. Shortly after that, she was showing me how to “release the fairies” from her Irish soda bread dough. This was the genesis of my own “Ballymaloe type of day.”

Catharine and her husband, Tommy, have been longtime residents of Zionsville, where she enjoyed the later part of her 30-year career in real estate. When the market went south, she began evaluating her passions to carve out a new direction for her life. Cooking, art, painting, travel and serving others were the ingredients that she needed for the faith-based recipe of her life.

In 2011, she decided to enroll in a two-and-a-half-day cooking class at the Ballymaloe Cookery School in East Cork, Ireland, with three other friends just for fun. Catharine ended up staying an additional week and taking another two-and-a-half-day class. While there, she lived in a self-catering 18th-century cottage with a shared kitchen and living space. Beyond the cottage walls, less than a mile from the sea, lay the 100-acre organic farm with chickens, pigs, Jerseys and gardens that supplied the school with fresh seafood, eggs, butter, milk and a plethora of herbs and vegetables.

4/30/14 2:40 PM

It is here that Catharine embraced the “farm to fork” way of life, and she vowed to return and complete their 12-week course and be totally immersed in that lifestyle. Catharine recently earned her certificate after a 12-week course taught by Darina Allen, Rory O’Connell and Rachel Allen. She now has plans to create artisan products and would like to offer a guided culinary tour back to Ireland next spring.

Catharine’s vision for our community is to make Zionsville a “Taste Of The Midwest Destination.” She was dismayed when the Indianapolis Star wrote an article about various day trips for foodies, and Zionsville was not on the list. As she sees it, we should come together to build our community’s presence as a “farm to fork” travel destination. We already have a wide variety of businesses that embrace organic, healthy or unique products. We already have a beautiful location. We already have a strong sense of community. All we need is a coordinated effort to bring our businesses together to make Zionsville the travel destination for food in the Midwest. In addition, Catharine is hoping to find a location where she can demonstrate recipes and teach cooking skills that will enable all levels of students to follow any recipe….even me!

The highlight of my visit was watching her make a loaf of Irish Soda Bread.

She shares the recipes on her blog and with us here. This quick and easy recipe does not require yeast. Yippee! As she took the loaf from the oven, the kitchen was quickly filled with an aroma of friendship and hospitality. She split the loaf, and steam trickled upward into thin air. She gave me a sample to take home, but I have to sheepishly admit that it didn’t make it to my home during that five-minute ride. For your next family dinner, follow my recipe to bake some amazing Ballymaloe Irish Soda Bread.

Catharine will be offering her seasonal jams, various chutneys, small cakes and the traditional Irish “sticky toffee pudding” at Serenity’s on Saturdays during the scheduled Zionsville Farmers Market hours. She hopes to move into the market as space becomes available. You might even find loaves of Irish Soda Bread there.

Tucked into my camera bag was a jar of her homemade orange marmalade with the largest chunks of orange rind that I had ever seen. The mouth-watering nectar was the perfect ending to my “Ballymaloe type of morning”!

Stop to wash and dry your hands. Tidy the dough up, and flip it over gently.

Pat the dough into a round about 1 1/2 inches deep and cut a cross on it to “let the fairies out.” (The cuts should go over the sides of the bread.) Bake at 450F for about 15 minutes, then turn down the oven to 400F and continue to bake the bread for 26-30 minutes or until cooked. If you’re in doubt, tap the bottom of the bread: If it’s cooked, it will sound hollow.

Fully preheat your oven to 450F. Sieve the dry ingredients into a large bowl, and make a well in the center. Pour most of the buttermilk in at once. Using only one hand, mix the flour from the sides of the bowl, adding more milk if necessary. The dough should be soft — not too wet or sticky. When it all comes together, turn it out onto a wellfloured work surface.

Easier to bake than driving to the store!

Irish White Soda Bread is a really quick Irish bread to make and very tasty!

Soda bread only takes two or three minutes to make and 30-40 minutes to bake. It is certainly one of Darina Allen’s “Great Convertibles.” She has the greatest fun experimenting with different variations and uses. Try adding olives, sun-dried tomatoes or caramelized onions! The possibilities are endless for the hitherto humble soda bread.

Zionsville Community Schools will be hosting classes, camps, athletics and artistic activities during the summer months. Eagle Recreation and Enrichment — called “Eagle Rec” for short — offers an array of programs that extend education beyond the classroom and make our schools more like community centers during the summer.

Programs are available for all ages, from preschoolers to adults. Topics include art, music, math, sports, games, cooking, sewing, reading, technology and foreign languages. Time lengths range from a couple of hours one day to a full week or more. Some options are for big groups, like the basketball camps for kids, and some are for small groups.

Some Eagle Recreation programs also run during the school year. For example, L’Ecole Francais is a program that

-

teaches French language and culture to elementary and middle school students before or after school. There are similar programs for Spanish, robotics, running, art and musical groups. Adult classes in sewing, piano, volleyball and fitness also extend beyond the summertime.

Who teaches all of these? Qualified community members, many of whom are classroom teachers and coaches, lead the courses and camps. For some, the summer programs offer a chance to share a significant hobby they don’t normally teach in school, such as cooking. For others, the summer camps offer a chance to spend a longer period of time on one aspect within their professional interest, such as building with clay.

For a full list of what’s available, go to http://zcs.k12.in.us/?q=node/139 or http://programs.zionsvilleeaglerec. com/index.cfm.

Local Aims for Cadillac of Pizza Cutting Writer / Nathan Lamb

In the world of pizza cutting implements, local entrepreneur Tom Faludy has a new product he’s billing as a cut above the rest.

It’s called the Big Ass Pizza Cutter, and Faludy said it’s about kicking pizza parties up a notch.

Tom Faludy is a Geist resident & inventor of the Big Ass Pizza Cutter.

CommonForm_May_2014.indd 2

4/29/14 1:28 PM

“Pizza is not really a solitary food,” he said. “It’s a shared food, so there’s a social context to it, and within that social context, this thing becomes a focal point and catalyst for conversation, fun and sharing.”

summer camp and said it’s been a favorite ever since. One of Faludy’s favorite recipes is a Hungarian style pie (see recipe) that he calls the Goulash Pizza.

Crafted stateside from stainless steel, the cutter sports a 22-inch tang-style blade, weighing in at roughly 2 pounds. It also features hickory handles and optional engraving on the blade.

“Goulash kind of confers a Hungarian connotation,” he said.

“Everybody who has tasted it has loved it.”

Having worked much of the past year to develop the idea, Faludy said the idea was to combine the industrial-style cutters from pizzerias with an “Old World” customized feel. He said it’s also designed for easy storage alongside baking pans.

The tool evolved through 11 different prototypes, refining functionally, looks and performance, before Faludy launched a website to market the cutter in early February. He’s optimistic it’ll become a popular gift for guys who already have everything.

“I think guys are pretty hard to buy for,” he said. “They already have a shirt and tie and most of the things people think to get for them; I thought this would be a great gift.”

Faludy, 67, has lived near Geist Reservoir for roughly 18 months, since retiring from an executive position with Berkshire Hathaway.

He remains active as a business consultant, saying he still works on the board of directors for three domestic companies and one in Australia.

That business background includes manufacturing, and Faludy said that played a role in the development of the pizza cutter.

Specifically, he said this project was also about finding a way to bring manufacturing back to Indiana.

“This is a genuine American-made product with 100 percent American-made components, made by Americans in Middlebury, Ind.,” he said. “I think it reflects a mark of craftsmanship.”

Originally from Hungary, Faludy came to the United States as a refugee at age 10. He discovered pizza four years later at a YMCA

Faludy said the current plan is to market the cutter exclusively through the website, saying that fits with the customized business model. Looking ahead, he anticipates launching a new line of industrial-sized “Big Ass” barbecue implements this spring.

Asked about the name for his line of products, Faludy said the idea was to be irreverent and amusing.

“It’s all about fun, having a bit of attitude and not taking life too seriously,” he said.

“It’s not vulgar, it’s just kind of cheeky,” he added, at another point.

“No pun intended there.”

Video demonstrations of the cutter are available on YouTube by searching for Big Ass Pizza Cutter, or visit bigasspizzacutter.com.

GOULASH PIZZA  Start with a frozen thin-crust margherita or supreme pizza.  Add freshly chopped onions on top.  Microwave thin-sliced, spicy Hungarian sausage on paper towels to reduce the fat. Distribute the sausage slices on top of the pizza.  Spoon on a thin layer of lecso — a rich-flavored traditional Hungarian tomato sauce with cooked red pepper strips.  Sprinkle on a blend of cheddar and Monterey Jack shredded cheeses to hold it all together.  Season the top with garlic powder, parsley and cracked pepper.

Jalapeno pepper slices and/or banana pepper slices are optional.  Bake at 400˚ until the crust browns well.

SEASONAL BREW REVIEW - with Hans & Joe In the past five years, we’ve seen an explosion of craft beer in the state of Indiana. Although iconic brands such as Budweiser have lost market share to “upstarts” such as 3 Floyds, Sun King and Upland (the three largest producers of craft beer in Indiana), about 95 percent of beer sold in the state is not made in Indiana. Nevertheless, the amount and quality of Indiana beer is at an all-time high, and the growth rate shows no sign of abatement. In this month’s article, instead of looking as specific seasonal brews, we’ll take a closer look at a few local breweries that are doing a particularly fine job of brewing beer.

TownePost.com / MAY 2014 / TOWNEPOST MEDIA NETWORK

CommonForm_May_2014.indd 5

4/29/14 1:29 PM

3 FLOYDS

3 Floyds is the largest and best-known brewery in Indiana. In fact, and with no hyperbole, 3 Floyds is world-famous when it comes to craft beer. The brewery is noted for its use of hops. Sometimes I feel as though I could identify 3 Floyds beer based on smell alone, such is the brewery’s mastery of hops. Dreadnaught, which is a Double IPA, has been consistently rated as one of the finest of its kind for many years, and the recent addition of Zombie Dust has only solidified 3 Floyds’ position atop the pantheon of producers of hoppy beers. For any beer drinkers who think that wheat beers are a waste of time, Gumballhead is an explosion of hop flavor with relatively little bitterness.

Most of 3 Floyds’ production comes in the form of Alpha King, Robert the Bruce and Gumballhead, but it is the Dark Lord Russian Imperial Stout that puts this brewery on the world map. The beer is only available for purchase in bottles one day out of the year, and you have to go to the brewery to buy it. These days you even have to buy a ticket ahead of time to enter the property on Dark Lord Day (April 26 this year), as it has come to be known. I have been to this event in years past when it was much smaller—say between 500 and 1,500 people. These days, attendance can reach well over 5,000.

SUN KING

Although Sun King brewed its first batch of beer in 2009, the brewery has enjoyed a meteoric rise and is now the second largest brewer in the state behind 3 Floyds (which has been around since 1996). Along with its production of great beer, Sun King’s success can be equally attributed to its use of social media. Sun King causes the average Joe (the kind of person who never cared much about beer as long as it was cold) to start considering not only where a beer is made but also its level of quality.

Sun King’s Sunlight Cream Ale is sure to satisfy the beer drinker who is looking for a BMC-like flavor profile but different, and the Osiris Pale Ale will quench the thirst of hopheads. Along with the aforementioned beers, Sun King’s year-round offerings include Wee Mac Scottish Ale and an IPA that changes with the seasons. The brewery produces many other beers on a rotating basis. One of the finest and best known of these is Grapefruit Jungle, a massive IPA that will be released sometime in the mid- to late summer.

BIER BREWERY

Bier Brewery first opened in November 2010. Unlike a few other recently opened Indiana breweries, the consistency of Bier Brewery’s products hasn’t wavered since day one, and while the quality has always been high, it is still getting better with every batch. Bier is one of the state’s smallest breweries, but every ounce of beer made is turned over within approximately two weeks. This high turnover ensures that if you are drinking beer from Bier, generally speaking, you are drinking some of the freshest beer available anywhere.

Not every Bier product is available all of the time. Instead, beers are released on a somewhat seasonal and sometimes arbitrary basis. It’s kind of like a restaurant with a menu that changes every day. And whereas many breweries are best known for a handful of particular beers, Bier makes such a wide variety of extremely high-quality beers that it is difficult to focus on any two or three in particular as head and shoulders above the rest. However, if I could have only three of Bier’s offerings, I would suggest DFG Imperial IPA; Dred Brown, which is a Brown Porter; and any Saison currently available.

BLOOMINGTON BREWING CO.

BBC, or Bloomington Brewing Co., is known to some as “the other Bloomington brewery” and is unknown to many, but BBC is a favorite of mine. The Ruby Bloom Amber Ale is a smooth and malty amber ale with no hop bitterness. The Rooftop IPA is a perfectly balanced IPA, and BBC’s periodic releases of single hop pale ales are truly not to be missed! As a bartender who sees the dates on the kegs here at Patrick’s Kitchen, I can say that BBC (along with Bier Brewery and Sun King) is consistently some of the freshest draft beer around.

This article is too short to allow for a comprehens ive description of every grea t beer in Indiana, but it is representative of my favo rite breweries. As someone wh o has seen the inside of a fe w breweries and deals with purchasing and serving th e product, I think that thes e breweries will be around for a while and will continue to improve the quality of th eir products. If you find your se in a place that serves an lf y of the products I have discu ssed chances are there are ot , hers that you should try, too.

J remember: Life is too shor ust t always drink the same be to er.

UPLAND

Upland has been one of my favorite breweries for seven or eight years now. I’m one of those craft beer drinkers who eschews most wheat beers, but Upland Wheat Ale is one of the few for which I would willingly pay. It is refreshing, great with seafood and shellfish in particular, and often served with an orange (I strongly advise against this, by the way).

Upland has really differentiated itself from every other brewery in the state with its sour program. That’s right, I’m talking about sour beer. The brewery makes several fruited Lambics as well as a Flanders Red Ale called Gilgamesh, all of which must be reserved online via a lottery system.

These sours are released on a rotating but somewhat regular basis, and it is these sour beers that have put Upland in the national spotlight of craft beer. The brewery recently launched a session IPA called Campside, which is perfect for those hopheads seeking to avoid the sometimes-crushing alcohol content of most IPAs. Consumer warning: Although approximately 99.9 percent of all beer should be consumed while fresh, it is particularly important to drink a beer like Campside IPA as soon as possible—within a month-and-a-half of its bottling date. And hooray for Upland for putting bottling dates on its products!

TAXMAN BREWING CO.

Everyone hold on to your wallets: The Taxman Brewing Co. has come to Bargersville! Taxman focuses on Belgian styles, but I’m sure that there will be a bit of meandering from the plan. The brewery offers five beers in its everyday lineup and will produce other beers as time and space allow. Both the Standard, which is a Belgian blonde ale, and the Exemption, which is a Belgian Triple, are great beers, and I look forward to tasting the Qualified, which is a Belgian Quadrupel. The Taxman tasting room and restaurant will open in July.

NURTURING A STEM OF OUR CHILDREN’S EDUCATION engineering/technology in sequences that build upon one another and can be used with real-world applications.

Union Elementary’s STEM Robotics study - students learn to program robots to perform simple functions.

(Submitted photo)

Writer / Janelle Morrison

According to a study released in 2013 by the STEM Education Coalition, only 45 percent of U.S. high school graduates in 2011 were ready for college work in math and 30 percent were ready in science.

Fifty-four percent of the nation’s fourthgraders and 47 percent of its eighth-graders reported that they “never or hardly ever” write reports about science projects. Thirtynine percent of eighth-graders reported that they “never or hardly ever” design a science experiment. As parents, we assume that there is a strong emphasis on the subjects of math and science in our children’s curriculum. Fond memories of elementary science fairs, foam boards with cutouts from “Popular Science” magazine and homemade volcanoes come to mind.

The truth is that these statistics released by the 2013 study shed light on the reality that our nation is falling behind in these subjects when compared with our

international counterparts. Taxpayers may ask why STEM education is considered a national priority and, more locally, a priority for the Zionsville Community Schools. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, STEM workers drive our nation’s innovation and competitiveness by generating new ideas, new companies and new industries. However, U.S. businesses frequently voice concerns over the supply and availability of STEM workers. Over the past 10 years, growth in STEM jobs was three times as fast as growth in non-STEM jobs. STEM occupations will grow 1.7 times faster than non-STEM occupations over the period from 2008 through 2018.

What exactly is STEM? STEM is the acronym for science, technology, engineering and mathematics education.

STEM education is defined as the preparation of students in competencies and skills in these four disciplines. A successful STEM education provides students with science, math and

A STEM student is more likely to be an innovator and critical thinker, and is able to make meaningful connections between school, community, work and global issues.

STEM-literate high school graduates are enrolling in college-level courses in science, technology, engineering and math without the need for remediation. STEM skills are increasingly necessary to engage in a knowledge-based economy. The U.S. government has publicly acknowledged the need to increase student achievement in STEM studies and to expand the STEM education on a national level. President Barack Obama, in a speech to the National Academies of Science, said, “Reaffirming and strengthening America’s role as the world’s engine of scientific discovery and technological innovation is essential to meeting the challenges of this century.

That’s why I am committed to making the improvement of STEM education over the next decade a national priority.”

The Zionsville Community Schools and the Zionsville Education Foundation (ZEF) understand the value of incorporating STEM education into the existing curriculum and funding grants to help sustain STEM projects. The administration and faculty are dedicated to supporting the STEM Education Coalition initiatives in our school system.

One such dedicated educator, Sara Hunter, STEM coach at Union Elementary School and the 2013 Emerging Leader with the International Society of Technology in Education, has been working with the elementary children on STEM-related projects geared toward grades one through four.

Union Elementary's STEM Coach, Sara Hunter.

Sara was named the 2013 Emerging Leader with the International Society of Technology in Education.

“STEM isn’t something we ‘do’ but rather a philosophy of making connections through real-world problem solving, collaboration and communication,” Hunter explained.

“Student project highlights will include global collaboration opportunities, outdoor learning with mobile devices and leveraging technology to share our learning. I taught for many years as a third-grade teacher and really developed a passion for integrating technology and finding interesting and fun ways to teach science and math. Moving into the role of the STEM coach was a natural progression for me.”

they will learn to create a sustainable water supply to our pumpkin patch that experienced a tremendous drought last summer. Our third-graders have worked on, developed a solution for and helped in writing a grant to fund rain barrels and rain gutters, which we’ll be installing later this spring. STEM education is really an opportunity to make these studies relevant to real-world applications and give the students that hands-on experience. This is an exciting opportunity to focus on helping to create a positive view of STEM in our elementary students so that they enjoy learning and can envision themselves as future scientists, mathematicians and engineers.”

The Zionsville STEM coaches have received tremendous support from the ZEF and have worked with them on several projects to receive grant funding. Many of the STEM coaches use DonorsChoose.org, an online charity that makes it easy to help students through school donations. The local PTOs have been incredibly generous in helping support STEM projects, as have the school families. The STEM coaches work creatively to fund their projects and have garnered support from local businesses and

organizations. The rain barrels grant was awarded to the Union Elementary School third-graders through the Boone County Solid Waste Management District.

The ZEF awarded about $9,000 for the Elementary Robotics Grant, submitted by Dan Layton and Christine Squier for all Zionsville elementary schools in the spring of 2013. This grant allows for the expansion of the robotics curriculum in STEM classes and for the expansion of the extracurricular First Lego League clubs in the fall.

While programming robots and cultivating an outdoor classroom, our community’s schools are investing in our children’s futures and preparing them so that they can compete on national and international playing fields while our STEM coaches are possibly grooming a future Marie Curie, Charles Hermite, Eli Whitney or Steve Jobs.

STEM began in the Zionsville Community Schools in the 2012–13 school year. All students in grades one through four at Union Elementary participate in the STEM classes as part of the school’s specials schedule.

“My role is a collaboration with classroom teachers so that what students are working on in STEM is complementing the curriculum that is being taught by their classroom teachers,” Hunter said. “We have an outdoor classroom space, and I am really fortunate to be able to build upon some of the life cycle and plant studies that our students participate in and bring students outside, where they are actively applying what they have learned and are given the opportunity to problem-solve. For instance,

Studying life and plant cycles is a big focus in the outdoor classroom at Union Elementary, and STEM education provides a complement to the students’ existing curriculum. Photo submitted.

ZCHS’S BRAIN GAME TEAM MAKES THE FINAL FOUR 28 / ZIONSVILLE COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER / MAY 2014 / atZionsville.com

Writer / Cindy Argentine Photographer / Kyle Duell - WTHR

A

t the WTHR studio in downtown Indianapolis, four Zionsville High School students climb steps to an elevated platform and take seats behind their names in lights.

Chuck Lofton, who will be hosting the show, greets them warmly and congratulates them on advancing this far in the academic competition. This is the semifinal round of the Brain Game, a quiz show that tests the knowledge of high school students from 48 schools in Indiana. Zionsville has made it to the final four.

In this match, they compete against Avon High School. A win would send them to the championship round.

In the dark interior room, all lights are on the host and eight students about to compete. When the producer announces “Please begin,” their faces assume an air of concentration. A few alternate team members and coaches wait silently in the wings while cameramen and other TV personnel prepare to record. Students hear “Standing by…4 – 3 – 2 – 1.” Lofton announces the start of the show and asks the first question.

Avon hits the buzzer and answers correctly. Zionsville wins the next point. Avon pulls ahead, and in a few minutes, Zionsville is down five points. Cameras pause as the show goes to a commercial break. Zionsville teammates in the audience sigh and lean back in their seats. “Gosh, it’s tense,” one murmurs. “Stand by in 4…4 – 3 – 2 – 1.” Lofton opens the next segment by introducing the players.

Competing for Zionsville are Rachel Miller, Caroline DeBrota, Caleb Hill and Jason Shipp.

Zionsville_May_2014.indd 29

4/30/14 2:40 PM

Avon’s lead continues as the second round begins, but soon Zionsville comes within two points. After answering five questions in a row, Zionsville ties the score at 16:16. Jason’s correct answer puts Zionsville in the lead. Avon takes the next point. At the break, the game is tied again.

The third segment begins with a minute round, where each team individually answers as many questions in a row as they can. Zionsville goes first. Supporters in the audience hold their breath. Questions and answers — some right and some wrong — fly by. The team keeps calm and ends the round with seven correct responses. It’s Avon’s turn. They also answer seven correctly. The game is tied at 25. More questions follow. Students hit buzzers as fast as they dare, knowing each point is critical. Avon takes the lead. It’s 27:29.

Zionsville wins the next point. It’s 28:29. Then a different, louder buzzer sounds. It’s not one of the players. It’s the signal that the game is over.

Customized investment portfolios that perform.

The whole room seems surprised.

No big clock has displayed the final countdown; no time-outs have allowed a break to plan for a big finish.

Lofton looks from the students to the camera, and gently says, “We’re going to confirm these scores.” Zionsville patiently waits. The judge verifies that the score is correct. Smiles slowly spread across the faces of the Avon team as they realize they have won.

Lofton closes, saying, “You did an awesome job. These last games have been really close. Congratulations to all of you. It’s been great.” He presents the Zionsville team with a huge $2,000 check from Westfield Insurance, the school’s prize for being a semifinalist. The Zionsville team cheers, lifts the cardboard check high over their heads, and the show ends.

As the Zionsville team steps down from the platform, the game’s judge (Dr. David Wantz) walks up to them and offers personal congratulations.

He tells them how much he admires and respects them, saying they have done a super job all season.

The Zionsville students thank him and walk directly to their opponents.

Shaking hands, they congratulate them. “We are rooting for you guys now,” they say to the Avon players. “If we had to lose, we wanted to lose to you.” They speak clearly, calmly and sincerely. They show marvelous grace, composure and compassion for one another and the opposing team.

MEET THE BRAIN GAME TEAM Michael DeBrota is a sophomore

who serves as the other alternate for the Brain Game team. Like his sister, he is active in the school’s choral and drama programs.

He sings with the Royalaires and was in the school’s musical. “Brain Game is really fun,” he says, “and you’re learning as you do it.

It’s a nice competitive challenge.”

Caroline DeBrota, captain of

the team, is a senior planning to study biomedical engineering at either RoseHulman Institute of Technology or Indiana University. She is a three-year member of the academic team. She also has been active in the school’s choral and drama departments, participating in Chamber Choir and musical productions. Caroline says, “With quiz bowl I’m able to use all the knowledge that I have that you wouldn’t think you would ever be asked about, and I’m doing it in a setting where I can help my team.”

Jason Shipp is a senior planning to study computer science at Purdue

University this fall. He is a four-year member of the team. For the past six years, he has fenced competitively. Like many of the other team members, he loves to read.

“I read perpetually – everything – fiction, autobiographies, the newspaper.” His favorite memory of quiz bowl was going to nationals his freshman year. “We were with a great group of guys that were a lot of fun. They taught us a lot about how to run the club. It stuck. Now we’re trying to pass it along to everyone else.”

Rachel Miller is a senior and three-

year member of the varsity team. She is planning to study chemistry at Indiana University this fall and is considering a minor or double-major in biology, geology, or German. She has been active in 4H for ten years, and she works part-time at the Indianapolis Executive Airport. Rachel says, “I believe that if you have been blessed with a talent, you should give back.” She puts this philosophy into practice by volunteering to tutor other students in math and science: “It’s one of the most rewarding things I’ve done in high school. I love to see when

somebody ‘gets it.’” She thanks many of her former ZCS teachers, especially Mr. Grimm, Mr. Bloede, Mrs. Bowling and Mrs. Berger, for helping her to discover her own academic talent and for encouraging her to continue studying science.

Michael Witte is a senior who is an

alternate for the Brain Game. He has been on the quiz team four years. After graduation, he plans to attend Purdue University to study engineering. He is active in Boy Scouts, where he has earned the rank of Eagle Scout. He has participated in robotics and played a year of tennis as well. Michael says friendship is a key part of what makes them all want to get together to practice.

Caleb Hill is a junior at ZCHS, and this is his first year on the team. He is often the first to hit the buzzer for literature, spelling and grammar questions. (At Zionsville Middle School, his photo is on the wall for winning a spelling bee.) He’s involved in orchestra at the high school. “We call him Fireball,” say Jason and Michael. “He’s so fast. He’s a very funny guy.”

4/30/14 2:40 PM

As the team members gather in the center of the studio, they begin replaying critical moments from the whirlwind match in their minds. They have just displayed vast knowledge of art, biology, chemistry, geology, history, literature, music and more. They realize that several points could have gone either way. In a few cases the team knew the correct answer, but timing worked against them.

“That ‘alum’ question,” Rachel says softly. “It was burning inside of me when I didn’t answer ‘alum’ because I wrote it down on my paper.” The question concerned the common name for hydrated potassium aluminum sulfate — and the correct answer was alum.

In that round of the game, each person must answer alone, without help from teammates. Caroline buzzed in first and missed.

“I knew that was a Rachel question,” Caroline explains. “As soon as I heard it, I thought Rachel would answer — she’s our chemistry wiz — but when I didn’t hear her right away, I buzzed in and got it wrong.” These students make decisions in fractions of a second. Do I wait for my teammate and risk letting the other team strike first?

They have practiced so many hours together that they anticipate one another’s timing and reflexes. But no two moments are ever exactly alike.

“And the Oso question…” Rachel reflects. The question dealt with the location of the devastating mudslides earlier this year.

Before the full question had been asked, Rachel buzzed in and answered, “Oso,” which is the city where they were located. Lofton replied that was not correct, and the question went to Avon, who answered “Washington” correctly. In the race to the buzzer, she had anticipated more detail than was needed.

Cameras flash, players and teachers talk, and Zionsville students take turns lifting the check, which will be used by Zionsville Community Schools for academic enrichment. Friendly banter circulates despite the competitive loss.

Walking out of the studio, the Zionsville team chats and laughs as they await their ride back to school. They are busy surveying the little souvenir gifts that WTHR has given them. Caleb pauses,

shakes his head slightly and says, “It was so close.” But many seem to be already looking beyond the present hour.

“I can’t believe it’s over,” Rachel says thoughtfully. “It’s just hitting me. This is my senior year. This was my last time doing this. For three years I’ve come down here and competed. The whole idea that I’m moving on — from all of my high school experience — is just starting to hit me.”

After school on the day of the loss to Avon, the teenagers are back in a classroom, sitting in two rows of desks facing one another, with practice buzzers on their desktops. The students are laughing, concentrating, drinking soda, practicing sample questions and goofing off a bit — all at the same time. They are committed to this team, and this is a scheduled practice.

Even though the Brain Game is over for the season, there are other quiz shows left to conquer. The Brain Game foursome is part of a larger group of 20 students at Zionsville High School called the academic or quiz bowl team. These students practice together every Wednesday and Friday after school all year long. The Brain Game is one of several tournaments they enter.

They start their season with a regional tournament in October sponsored by the White River Academic League. There they play teams from University High School, Brebeuf Jesuit, Brownsburg, Avon, Harrison and many other Indiana high schools. In 2010 and 2011, Zionsville was the champion of this league. Wins at this level send them to the state tournament, which they also won in 2010 and 2011. For several years the team has been given the opportunity to enroll in national competitions based on their outstanding performance. A group called Questions Unlimited hosts three tournaments each year in Washington D.C., New Orleans and Chicago. Top qualifiers from these three tournaments advance to the National Championship each June. Two varsitylevel teams from Zionsville are headed to New Orleans on May 23 to compete at this event.

4/30/14 2:40 PM

Paulette Berger and Amy Conrad are teachers at the high school who coach, question and encourage the quiz bowl teams. Berger has been with the team since its inception, leading them to numerous notable titles. “In 2010,” she says, “we won everything: the White River Academic League, the Brain Game and the Questions Unlimited National Championship. We had a dream team.” It consisted of Lionel Zhao, Sidney Fletcher, Tanner Thompson, Justin Ahmann and two alternates, Chris Fuqua and Lee-Wei Kao. Berger still keeps in touch with most of them via Facebook and email. Most are seniors in college. When they are back in town, they sometimes stop by to help coach and practice with current team members.

Michael Witte and Jason Shipp, both four-year members of the team, loved learning under the champions in 2011 when they were freshmen. They hope they have mentored younger players as well as the seniors who trained them. The team puts in hours of practice each week, travels to tournaments throughout the year and works on special activities like the upcoming Super Science Saturday. But they don’t count preparing for the quiz bowl as work.

As Michael says, “I don’t think any of us feel like it’s a commitment; we all enjoy it so much. On Monday, we look forward to practice on Wednesday, and once we hit Wednesday, we can’t wait to meet again on Friday.”

As they prepare to graduate, the seniors on the team hope more students will get involved. “This is a really fun activity,” they all say.

The current group specializes in math and science, and they clearly know a lot about many different topics. But they have identified one area in particular to strengthen. “If you know anything about sports,” says Michael, “just stop by and help us. We need you.”

A love of learning has knit together a close camaraderie among the quiz bowl teammates.

Whatever the score, quiz bowl is a win in their minds. They’ve grown in knowledge, leadership, confidence and friendship by playing the Brain Game.

SOME MEMBER PROFILES

A DIFFERENT KIND OF COUNTRY CLUB Writer / Neil Lucas

At nearly every country club, you hear members complaining incessantly about slow play. But not at The Club at Putnam Park.

That’s because some of its members are wheeling around at speeds approaching 140 mph. Not in golf carts, though. This is a motorsports country club.

DR. MATT PRIDDY

of Carmel is a local physician who started running his Porsche Boxster Spyder at Putnam Park as a member of the local Porsche Club. His car is pretty much a stock Spyder. In fact, the day I met Priddy, he had driven his Spyder to the office. He decided to become a member of The Club at Putnam Park after he found himself wanting more track time and greater convenience than he was able to get as a member of the Porsche Club. Dr. Priddy liked the idea of having a countryclub atmosphere and camaraderie at a place where he felt safe putting his Porsche through its paces.

While it’s in rural Putnam County, you won’t find a dirt track, demolition derbies, Dale Jr. T-shirts or confederate flags. The club is built around Putnam Park, a world-class racetrack located only 50 minutes southwest of Indianapolis. In addition to access to a worldclass track, members of The Club also get to relax in a clubhouse equal to those offered by the finest golf clubs in Indianapolis.

Putnam Park is a 1.8-mile asphalt track made up of 10 turns with a half-mile straightaway where members’ cars can reach speeds in excess of 140 mph. (I can attest to this!) The track was specifically designed with safety in mind, because it is, for the most part, surrounded by flat, grass fields with very few opportunities to make contact with any obstacles. If you unexpectedly leave the track, you’ll end up speeding through a grassy field rather than hitting a wall. This makes for an ideal circuit for amateur drivers who enjoy an occasional adrenaline rush and want to test the limits of their cars and their driving abilities.

JUSTIN TYSDAL, another Carmel resident, was

first introduced to Putnam Park when he bought a Ducati motorcycle from a local dealer who would occasionally rent Putnam Park for customer days. He soon decided he wanted more time on the track, so he became a member of The Club. Tysdal still runs his motorcycle at Putnam Park and has added a modified BMW Z-3 to his stable. The day I was at the track, he was having a great father-and-son day as he and his 70-year-old dad were taking turns running his Z-3.

Putnam Park came to be in 1990, when Richard Diasio and son Chris Diasio, a Zionsville resident and current owner of the track, started looking for a location to build a private race track. They settled on Putnam County because of its proximity to Indianapolis and the fact that there were few zoning restrictions.

When completed in 1991, the track became — and remains today — a frequent practice facility for various world-class professional racing teams, including Indy 500 teams, Indy Lights teams and the current Audi Motorsports team. Last year, former F-1 and Indy 500 driver Rubens Barrichello practiced at Putnam Park in advance of the Grand-Am Rolex Series race at the IMS. The track also is a favorite venue for various local and regional sports car clubs and for corporate outings.

KURT FAZEKAS, a Geist-area resident and his

81-year-old father, Dale, are both members of The Club at Putnam Park. Dale was a two-time national champion of the SCCA. Kurt has a new 911 Porsche Turbo but still drives at Putnam Park one of the special 944 Turbo race cars that his father raced as a member of the Porsche factory team.

To more fully utilize this facility, Chris and his father got the idea of creating a unique motor-sports country club atmosphere built around the Putnam Park track. The Diasios spent in excess of $2 million to upgrade the facilities. The renovations included a new clubhouse and a new, fully functioning garage area (think gasoline alley at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway). The Club just started construction on an additional building that will provide 10 garages that members can rent year-round to store their cars and equipment.

The clubhouse includes a club room with a bar topped by exotic granite, numerous flat-screen TVs, and men’s and women’s locker rooms with travertine-walled showers and private restrooms (think Bridgewater Club or The Hawthorns).

Just like the finest golf or tennis country clubs, The Club at Putnam Park also offers its members high-level instruction from experienced professionals. Unlike golf clubs, though, Putnam Park’s professional instructors happen to be professional race-car drivers — and their services are included as part of the membership.

Putnam Park began offering memberships in 2011 and today has about 50 members made up of many people from central Indiana.

However, nearly half of the members live more than two and a half hours from the track.

The track is available to members 140 days of the year. Some members use the same cars they drive to the office in (think Porsche and BMWs instead of Ferrari or Lamborghini), while others bring out more exotic models. The common element for all members is the desire to continue to improve as drivers and to push their cars, irrespective of the type, to its limit.

A few days ago, club member Kurt Fazekas graciously invited me to ride shotgun with him on a few hot laps around the track in his 2014 Porsche 911 Turbo and his older Porsche 945 Turbo. The rides were exhilarating and eye-opening.

In the 911, we began from a standing start somewhere near the beginning of the half-mile straightaway. By the time Fazekas began braking for the first corner, we were doing north of 120 mph. I thought that was fast — until we had time to pick up some speed during the first lap, soon to sail down the straightaway at more than 140 mph! (I maintained a firm grip on the door handle during the entire time.)

If you’re interested in driving fast or learning to drive fast in a safe environment and with the amenities of a true country club, take a look at The Club at Putnam Park. For membership information call Chris Diasio at 317-559-1500. Like most country clubs, The Club offers several different membership levels that Chris can discuss with you.

THE COUNTRY CLUB FOR PEOPLE WITH DRIVE! The Club is a motorsports country club for people who want to drive their cars fast in an exclusive, safe environment. No experience required! Professional instructors are available to teach you to drive your car to its limits on Putnam Park’s 1.8 mile road course, located just 30 minutes west of Indianapolis.

ou’ve probably seen a recent commercial with people interviewing for a Director of Operations position. It is explained that the job offers no breaks and requires unlimited hours with a high level of energy, all in a chaotic environment with no time to sleep or eat. When the reward of “no pay” is revealed, the overwhelming response is that no one would want this position. And yet, American Greetings reveals that thousands of people gladly accept this position due to the immeasurable pleasure that they receive. You probably know by now that we’re talking about the 24/7 job of being a mom.

This year we would like to acknowledge an outstanding mom who sees herself as just an ordinary person. Sarah Sampson is the mother of 10 children, ranging from 1 to 18 years old. Along with her amazing, supportive husband, Jon, she runs “Team Sampson” with everyone pitching in when needed. When Sarah met Jon at Notre Dame, she knew that she wanted to someday fill her home with the sound of pitter-pattering little feet. Growing up as the fourth child of Tom and Kate Esterline, she enjoyed being part of a close-knit family. When she was 10 years old, her parents announced that a new bundle of joy would be arriving. Shortly after that birth, another newborn came along. Sarah’s understanding of unconditional love deepened from babies and family. She loved caring for her siblings and watching them grow. During these formative years, her desire to have a large family of her own was ignited, and Jon also shared this vision.

Sarah is the first to acknowledge that she has a bevy of friends who can quickly pitch in to give her children rides to after-school activities, and she is most grateful for their assistance. She is happy to see her children participating in activities they enjoy, and she tries to be present for their shows, races, games or special events.

When it comes to time for herself, Sarah has found a way to multitask and combine personal time with exercise, which often entails walking with her husband or dog. Nurturing friendships are also important, so she meets other moms for lunch once a week.

What’s her secret to managing such a busy household? She arises each day with the mindset of a problem-solver. She doesn’t attempt to create the perfect day, house or children. According to Sarah, “I ask what must be done today. Those items go on the to-do list.

I prioritize multiple times in a day. There is chaos most nights as we juggle dinner, homework and activities, but I accept that as our ‘normal.’ I am very driven to enjoy my family, be kind and to have fun with these kids that I love so much.”

We all know what an important job being a mom is, whether it’s to one or 20 children. It is a blessing to have a family and be instrumental in shaping these young lives. Motherhood also gives us an excuse to stay young forever and let down our hair while enjoying love beyond measure. This is the toughest of all jobs. Yet, unequivocally, it is the most gratifying job in the world. Happy Mother’s Day!

Andrea & Ashley Johnson, husband/ wife duo & owners of the Blue Mile, worked with local brewery Flat 12 Bierwerks to co-brand a pale ale beer crafted just for runners.

OFFICIAL BEER OF THE

FINISHER’S TENT

KICK

WATCH FOR CANS THIS SUMMER!

Writer / Diane Harrington Photographer / Carly Lyon

t’s not unusual to assume runners are health nuts — and that beer would be the last thing on their postrun go-to list. Indeed, the folks at Flat12 Bierwerks, a craft beer company on North Dorman Street, were a bit perplexed when they were approached about creating a cobranded beer for runners.

But it all makes perfect sense to Ashley Johnson and his wife, Andrea, who are both big craft-beer lovers as well as owners of the BlueMile specialty running stores in Carmel, Fishers, Broad Ripple and other locations in Indiana and Kentucky.

The Johnsons approached Flat12 about coming up with a beer geared toward runners “that people who exercise would like to drink after they run,” Ashley said.

“They said, ‘Why would anyone want that?’ [and I said], ‘Well, they’re drinking something, aren’t they?’.…That was when it all started.”

“When we first moved here in 2000, there wasn’t a lot of craft beer in Indianapolis,” said Andrea, who is thrilled that craft beers have gradually taken hold in the area. “We have this BlueMile [running] series in the summertime, and we started coming to Flat12 [afterward]. Runners and walkers and fitness enthusiasts tend to be very active, outgoing and like to try new things. .. . . So they were joining us at the different breweries, and we thought that we should have a beer for Blue Mile.

“We started pestering the Flat12 people about it, and they finally agreed. It kind of blossomed from hanging out at Flat12,” she said.

Once the folks at Flat12 were on board, it was just a matter of coming up with the right beer, which has been dubbed Brew Mile. “It’s an accessible, light, easy-drinking beer,” said Flat12 sales representative Derreck Ramsey of the extra-pale ale. It “drinks clean and has a finishing hop kick.”

And the beer’s look meshes nicely with Blue Mile.

then they’ll all go out together,” he said. His goal is to get Brew Mile into all the pubs and restaurants these runners already head to.

“They’ve got a sleek truck. They’ve got cool stores where everything feels like it’s very well thought out,” said Flat12’s vice president of marketing, Bob Weaver. Flat12 has been in the area for three years, and the owners were happy to connect with an established business like Blue Mile.

“Even people that aren’t runners [will like it]. It’s a great beer,” Ramsey said.

Once the team came up with the name for the beer and the idea for Bob Weaver, VP of Marketing for Flat 12 Bierwerks, led the taste the label, they started thinking testing with runners to find just the right taste. Watch a video interview about what the bottle would look like. about the new beer at TownePost.com.

“Then we started doing some canning with our Half Cycle IPA, and that’s when we started thinking about runners and the scenarios about where they’re enjoying their beer — whether it’s the finishers’ tent or on vacation or on the beach somewhere or just home. Maybe a can would be preferable?”

Weaver said. “So we started going in that direction. That actually provided a really cool look and feel that fell in line with the

way Blue Mile does things. This can feels nice and trim and just put together. It felt like it fit a lot better [than a bottle].”

Ramsey is excited about Brew Mile’s potential, given the great sense of community that’s built into running.

“Typically, you’ll get a bunch of people that will meet up on the weekends and go for a run, do impromptu 2- or 3-mile runs, and

“It took a while for us to get there, but when we got there, it was like, That’s it!” Weaver said, punctuating his comment with a clap.

Brew Mile, “the official beer of the finishers’ tent,” is available on draft right now and will be available in cans this summer. Ask for it around town, or check it out at Flat12 Bierwerk’s taproom at 414 N. Dorman St. Thursdays through Sundays.

ATTENTION, ACUTE OR CHRONIC BACK OR SPINE PAIN SUFFERERS! There is a local medical facility, Midwest Pain & Spine, that specializes in effective alternative treatments using minimally invasive procedures to diagnose, treat and manage your condition.

Don’t assume that all traditionally trained orthopedic physicians have the requisite training and experience required to provide the minimally invasive treatments made possible by the new advanced surgical technologies.

Dr. Steven Levine, who has years of specialized training in pain management, established Midwest Pain & Spine in 2001. The clinic’s goal is to reduce or eliminate pain and allow patients to continue to have a more active and enjoyable lifestyle. Dr. Levine has been a pioneer in the development and use of minimally invasive surgical techniques to eliminate back pain. He is a founding member and vice president of the Society for Advanced Spinal Interventions, an organization dedicated to the education, training and professional representation of the emerging field of minimally invasive spinal surgery.

I am a full-time college student and football player. My back and leg pain was keeping me not only off the field but sometimes out of class. Dr. Levine was able to accommodate my schedule, and over winter break, I had a minimally invasive endoscopic diskectomy. I was awake during the procedure, and about halfway through, I became aware that I was suddenly pain-free! After the procedure, I had very little discomfort and only a Band-Aid on my back. I was able to return to practice and conditioning very quickly, and now I am looking forward to the start of the upcoming season. Thanks to Dr. Levine, I have my life back.” —C.L. As a radiologist, I was well aware that something needed to be done to alleviate my back pain and the severe pain radiating into my leg. I was told I needed spine surgery. I did some research and found Dr. Levine, a well-known expert in the field of minimally invasive spine surgery. I flew to Indianapolis and had the procedure performed on a Friday. He was able to achieve direct visualization with a small endoscope, and with the use of a laser and small instruments, he was able to remove my disk herniation without having to subject me to general anesthesia. I was awake and comfortable throughout the surgery. I left the surgery center with a Band-Aid on my back and my pain was completely gone.

By Saturday evening I was well enough to join Dr. Levine and his wife for dinner. I returned home to Florida on Sunday and was back to seeing my own patients on Monday. It’s been two years and I am still pain-free. I would recommend a minimally invasive diskectomy over open spine surgery to all my patients. Dr. Levine was terrific and has more than 14 years of experience in this technique and is actively involved in training surgeons on how to perform this procedure.” —Dr. S.B., Ft. Myers, Florida

Dr. Levine is also a frequent lecturer and educator in the field of interventional pain medicine.

According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, in a traditional open spinal surgery, the surgeon makes a 3- to 5-inch-long incision that can damage soft tissue and muscle. As a result, there is a greater potential for muscle and ligament injury, and patients may have a different kind of pain after surgery then they felt prior to surgery. This can lead to a longer recovery period and chronic pain. In a minimally invasive surgical procedure, the surgeon uses a small endoscope, which results in minimal damage to muscle and ligaments and maintains the normal structural integrity of the spine. The smaller incision and less invasive procedure cause less bleeding, minimal scar formation and a shorter recovery time.

If you suffer from acute or chronic back pain, contact Midwest Pain & Spine to discover the minimally invasive treatments available to treat your painful condition and get you back to enjoying life fully.

OH, GIVE ME A HOME....

Story & Photos / JJ Kaplan

HOME. We all have a feeling of emotion of what our home was and is today. In a formal context, it is the place where one lives permanently. In a more esoteric context, it may be defined as a place to completely relax, both physiologically and psychologically.

We all need that place as a support to refresh and recharge ourselves. For Micah Marsh, his home is a place to honor a rich past and envision a fulfilling future.

Tucked away in a little corner of our community, Micah’s home is known as the End of the Trail Ranch. Here he enjoys a simple life while keeping his family’s heritage alive by raising American buffalo, also known as bison. These shaggy behemoths of the Great Plains can weigh as much as a ton, can race up to 40 mph, can jump 6 feet vertically and can quickly pivot to fight predators.

Sounds like a great family pet, right?

Uncle Bud Marsh (left) & Micah Marsh

Zionsville_May_2014.indd 49

On a beautiful clear day, I ventured out to learn about the bison business and how Micah, along with his Uncle Bud Marsh’s help, is bringing back a part of our national heritage.

4/30/14 2:41 PM

One-day-old calf with its mother

In 1962 Micah’s parents, Gene and Carol Shelburne Marsh, and their brood of six boys, moved to the ranch and thereby realized his father’s love of all things related to the Old West. From cowboy hats to Indianhead nickels to boots to buffalo hides, the entire family embraced these relics of the Old West. Micah grew up with a great reverence to our rich western heritage.

After his father passed away in September 2007, Micah and his beloved wife, Lenise, purchased the homestead and made it their own. Micah wasn’t sure what to do with the land and considered raising elk or deer.

He never considered bison until his cousin suggested the majestic animal. It seemed to fit right in with the ranch and seemed to pay homage to his father’s lifelong love of all things Old West.

The couple began building a formidable 8-foot-high fence to keep the buffalo from roaming and to keep well-meaning visitors at bay. On more than one occasion, Micah has returned home to find curious visitors at the fence trying to pet these wild beasts.

They are not tame and friendly. They do not like to be petted. In reality, they make lousy pets. But they do make excellent red meat.

Micah’s bison meat is Indiana stateinspected, professionally processed and packaged according to even stricter guidelines than required by law. Micah is a member of the National Bison Association.

He goes to great measures to ensure that his grass-fed bison is absolutely the best, most

tender and healthiest that it can be.

Bison meat is extremely lean, and because you are cooking with very little fat, it cooks faster and at lower temperatures than other types of red meat. According to Micah, the key to cooking bison is “low and slow.” This makes for a savory, heart-healthy meat low in cholesterol, high in B-12 with richer, fuller flavor.

Micah’s Uncle Bud shares a passion for Native American culture and became a great source of support to help manage the day-to-day running of the business. Lenise was also instrumental in manning the booth at the Zionsville Farmers Market, selling bison tenderloins, roasts, ribs, summer sausage and more.

Life was good — but it was not destined to last long.

In February 2013, Lenise was diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer — a lifechanging development. Suddenly their universe stopped, and all attention and energy was focused on supporting Lenise. The Marshes were touched by the outpouring of community help from family and friends, and from clients and colleagues from the Zionsville Farmers Market, who would bring fresh produce and homemade goods. These gifts meant the world to Micah and Lenise, as they retreated into their little cocoon to make the most of the time left.

The subsequent 10 months were filled with doctors’ appointments, chemo and radiation, and IV treatments — and dealing with the inevitable. During this time, Lenise’s physical appearance changed drastically. She no longer resembled the vibrant, perky blond that Micah fell in love with so long ago. But even as her physical appearance changed, Micah felt himself falling in love with Lenise all over again.

Lenise lost her battle with cancer this past December.

The last couple of months have been extremely difficult for Micah, and his home has become a place of comfort, gratitude, renewal and rebirth. He is adjusting to a new normal, which includes days working as a property manager and working his bison farm. He is looking forward to expanding his farm and bison business. He plans to sell bison at this year’s Zionsville Farmers Market and the year-round Normandy Farm Market. The “freshest, most delicious bison meat in the entire area” also is available by appointment.

Call 317-488-1178. In addition, Micah is also donating a buffalo hide to charity, with proceeds going to the Boone County Cancer Society.

Don’t miss out on an evening of great fun with Witham, Michael and the community.

Please join us in celebrating nearly 100 years of health care services in the community.

Our fundraising events are a great way to show your dedication and commitment to the Hospital’s mission of providing high-quality, community-based health care with compassion and care. You can help us continue making an impact in the community by becoming a sponsor for this year’s event, donating a silent auction item or, better yet, joining us for the evening.

CV ART & FRAME HOSTS

CV Art and Frame is hosting the renowned art broker Raul Mercier, who will be bringing more than 350 original paintings to the Main Street, Zionsville, location. Mercier represents more than 50 artists creating in a variety of genres encompassing contemporary, abstract, traditional, figurative, classical, old masters and impressionist styles. Some of the artists are internationally recognized, creating investment-quality artwork, while others are emerging artists poised to make their mark in the art world. This vast selection is also apparent in the special show prices ranging from a couple of hundred to thousands of dollars. Mercier has conducted shows all over the world, including one special exhibit attended by Prince Charles in England. CV Art and Frame gallery owner, Barbara Jennings, is delighted to be able to bring this regal show to Indianapolis-area collectors.

Although Jennings has been providing clients with artwork for almost 30 years through what the locals still think of as the Corner Vise Frame Shop, the level of artwork has evolved with the changing times and also contributed to the 2013 renaming of the business to CV Art and Frame. “In today’s technocentric world, I felt I needed to keep up with the times and focus my marketing through my website,” Jennings said. “It seemed the appropriate time to change the name to be more web-friendly as we prepare the launch of our new e-commerce site: cvartandframe.com.”

In the early years, Corner Vise specialized in limited-edition prints by popular artists. As the gallery evolved, and became CV Art and Frame, an emphasis was put on bringing in affordable original works. Having met Jennings at one of the art expos they attended over the years, Mercier would randomly drop by the gallery with his portfolios from which Jennings would choose artwork for the gallery and specific clients. “I wish I could have you present this entire collection directly to my clientele,” Jennings told Mercier. After a few years, and some cajoling, he agreed. The “days of the hunt for art” seem to be in the past, Mercier said regarding today’s Internet world and the current need for “instant gratification.” His mission, he believes, is to educate the collector and present the beauty of original artwork, “Your choice of art is a self-expression. It defines who lives at a particular home or works in a certain environment ….It is important,” said Mercier.

Prince Charles with Raul

Zionsville resident and art collector Dr. Chuck Dietzen shared, “I have known Raul [Mercier] for many years....He always has literally hundreds of high-quality works of art by very talented artists.

Very seldom will you get the opportunity to see so much museum-quality art in one comfortable setting

and actually have the opportunity to take some home with you. Raul is very knowledgeable about each artist he represents, and it is a real treat to watch him reveal one remarkable piece after another in a comfortable environment like CV Art and Frame, with friendly gallery staff readily available to assist you.”

CV Art and Frame Gallery Director CV Art & Frames’ Owner Rhonda Crawshaw said, “It is an honor Barbara Jennings to be able to host Raul Mercier here at the gallery.” Jennings agreed: “Raul is such an elegant, distinguished gentleman. Not only is he a pleasure to work with, he always has the right artist for those special commissions.”

Pablo Picasso once said, “The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.” This must be one of the reasons that art exhibits, MAY 16 gallery walks and First Fridays have become so popular; they present CV Art & Frame, Raul Mercier Show 3-8 p.m. a spectacular way to lift our spirits 110 South Main St., Zionsville and enlighten our souls.

TEACHING ART TO ALL AGES

Does your child love to draw and paint? Or do they wish they could draw better, but don’t know how? Or have you always wanted to learn? Then discover MyArt, where hundreds of students ages 4 to beginner adult have learned how to draw and paint with amazing results.

Unlike most art classes, MyArt takes a hands-on systematic approach to art instruction that breaks down the process of drawing into basic components. In a peaceful and non-competitive atmosphere, students learn how to create art, much like a musician learns to play an instrument. Moreover, the instruction is directed by two individuals with formal education in art and years of teaching this same proven system.

Sylvia & Barb

Barb Hegeman and Sylvia Runningen, who both have college degrees in fine art and are experienced graphic designers, are the owners of the local MyArt studios. Barb owns and operates the studio located in Zionsville, while Sylvia owns and operates the studios in Carmel, Fishers and Noblesville. They have known each other and taught art together

“Tiger” Artist / Cheney, 13

for many years. In fact, Sylvia was a teacher for Barb before Barb recently sold the studios in Carmel, Fishers and Noblesville to Sylvia.

MyArt offers small group instruction for people of all ages. This summer, MyArt is offering one- and four-day camps for students as young as 5 years old beginning June 9. MyArt also offers canvas painting events for children and adults, along with birthday parties and private events. Barb and Sylvia have had students who have been coming to MyArt for years, going on to win awards and pursue careers in the visual arts. This spring, one of their high school students, who started with MyArt at an early age, was recognized nationally for her artwork and will be awarded the American Visions Award at Carnegie Hall later this year.

If you or child has an interest in art and you’re looking for an instructional studio with proven results, contact one of the MyArt studios near you or visit their website at myartindy.com.
