A chateau inspired home with 6 Bedrooms, 5 Full/ 2 Half Baths. Striking two-story entry sets the tone for the custom craftsmanship that exudes throughout. Kitchen provides the environment for the chef with Thermador, Stainless, pro-style appliances and a large center island perfect for prep or serving. The owner’s suite is located on the main level and steps away from a tucked away office or sitting room. Some of the unique spaces that define this home include: a wine room tasting room, 2-porch areas for en-joying different times of the day, brick-paver patio with firepit, heated three-car garage to keep the chill outside, and a computer nook. The great room is open with access to a side covered porch which is one of two covered porches! There a room with full bath that can also be used for a nanny/ “au pair”, in-law suite or flex space. This home was originally a show home and still worthy of that status. Wonderful architecture, feature rich, plenty of character … this estate home is very special.

One in four Hoosier children doesn’t have enough to eat – nearly 90,000 kids in Greater Indianapolis* alone. Gleaners Food Bank is trying to change that with our BackSacks Weekend Food for Kids program. But distributing a school year’s worth of weekend BackSacks in our entire service area comes with a cost of about $2 million.

Fundraising events like Wine Women & Shoes and its sponsors help pay for this program. Yet, they’re not enough. A gift of just $20 from you provides a child with a month’s worth of weekend BackSacks. And a $100 gift provides him or her with an entire semester’s worth. Please help us fund this worthy program by making a donation today at gleaners.org

Schools fill their heads with knowledge. Help us fill their tummies with food.

WINE, WOMEN & SHOES


In the words of the iconic Marilyn Monroe, “Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world.” In the case of some dedicated local women fundraisers, “Give them the right shoes, and they can conquer a worthy cause.”

In previous years, the Women, Wine & Shoes event has been the toast of the town when it comes to feeding chronically hungry children through Gleaners BackSacks Weekend Food for Kids program. Last year’s fundraiser hosted 400 guests, targeting high income women aged 30-55+ and has raised nearly $200,000 annually to fund the Gleaners program.

Held at the opulent Lucas Oil Estate, the fashionable midday event will be hosted on Friday, May 13 in Carmel for its third annual year.

The fundraiser’s heritage comes from an established fundraising corporation that began over a decade ago. Wine, Women & Shoes originated in Napa Valley, California, and has become a popular sophisticated fundraising platform. The WW&S® team has managed more than 175 events and raised over $37 million for their charity partners that includes the local event benefitting Gleaners. Inspired by the classic country ballad “Wine, Women and Song,” this unique concept offers both charity and corporate clients the opportunity to leverage their successful

platform to achieve a variety of goals from charity fundraising and cause awareness to team building and client networking.

The event will boast world-class wine tastings, gourmet treats, an exclusive fashion lounge, shopping opportunities for the latest in shoe fashions, a silent auction and of course the company of the striking “Shoe Guys.”

What woman could possibly resist a hunky man who knows the difference between a wedge and a platform pump? The Shoe GuysTM are one of the highlights of a WW&S® event. These attractive, fit and friendly guys may look like models, but they are men from the community who support the cause and are willing to brave a

party full of women.

Jill Schuman, co-chair of the event, spoke about the collaborative efforts that go into organizing this incredible event and the purpose that continues to motivate her and her co-chairs.

“We have been thrilled with the previous years’ success,” Schuman said. “It all began when Gleaners pitched the idea of teaming up with Wine, Women & Shoes, enjoying a day with our girlfriends shopping, eating and wine tasting while raising money for a good cause. It is a relaxing and enjoyable midday event that is designed to be different from a typical black-tie evening gala.”

Schuman mentioned that guests will be able to experience a wide selection of wines and delectable foods from local sponsors and restaurants. There will be 10 local vendors and restaurants on-site. As another way to raise money that day, the vendors will donate back 20 percent of the purchases made by the attendees. They will also be able to participate in a variety of contests, and the most incredible raffle prize is a key to a magnificent wardrobe closet, constructed on-site by California Closets and filled with over $12,000 of merchandise, gift certificates and other incredible prizes donated by the 10 vendors at the event.

There will be 160 tickets sold at $160 per ticket, and at the end of the event, the lucky ticket holder will take home all of the prizes and the opportunity to have California Closets come to their home and build a custom closet. In the closet are hidden boxes with additional prizes such as a certificate to purchase a pair of designer shoes with the assistance of a personal shopper at Saks Fifth Avenue at the Keystone Fashion Mall and other elaborate and fun gifts.

“This year’s event will feature the Saks Fashion Lounge,” Schuman added. “There will be a bar and music in this area. We will have a live auction with some incredible donated items, and we will have a presentation for our guests on the Gleaners BackSacks Weekend Food for Kids program and how the event and all of its components supports Gleaners. We will also have a ‘Fund a Need’ segment. There will be several photo opps and fun contests such as ‘Best Shoes’ and ‘Best in Dress.’”

Schuman also expressed that one of the more unique and entertaining parts about the event is the presence of their Shoe Guys.

“Our Shoe Guys are absolutely phenomenal,” she said. “We will have ‘shoe cards’ with each of their faces printed on the cards. Our guests will vote for their

favorite Shoe Guy, voting through the Gleaners website during the event. They can donate as little as a dollar or whatever amount that they wish. Whichever Shoe Guy wins the most votes will be honored and recognized on stage and is awarded some fun gifts. In the past, we have awarded them fun trips and even a foursome at Crooked Stick Golf Course.

“I would really like to emphasize that all of our gifts and prizes are generously donated by our amazing donors and sponsors who are very supportive of this event. We couldn’t do these things without them. I also work with an amazing committee of dedicated women who are very talented and focus on making their parts of the event successful, entertaining and fun. We identify the list of things that need to be done and then we divide and conquer.”

The event is supported by a plethora of community and corporate sponsors such as Moyer Fine Jewelers, Saks Fifth Avenue, Pillow Talk, Sullivan’s Steakhouse and so many more wonderful local businesses. For a complete list of this year’s sponsors and supporters, visit gleaners.org.

Carmel Magazine will be the exclusive print media sponsor, so look for photos from the event in their June issue.

There’s an exciting new trend among expecting families called gender reveal

parties. If you’re asking yourself, “What’s a gender reveal party?” then you either don’t know anyone who’s expecting, you aren’t expecting or you live under a rock.

A gender reveal party is a party to find out the gender of an expecting couple’s baby. Generally, gender reveal parties lie somewhere between the pregnancy

announcement and the baby shower. Thanks to social media, this trend is exploding with some good and bad reviews, but it’s a trend that is not going anywhere any time soon.

Who is doing it? A lot of people. Gender reveal parties started popping up around 2011 with a simple cake you could cut into to find out reveal the baby’s gender: blue for boy and pink for girl. What started with a small gathering of immediate families has grown to include friends, extended families

and even the whole world.

Celebrities like Snooki, Dave Annable and Carrie Underwood, just to name a few, revealed their baby’s gender on national television or video to not only tell their families but the entire world. Other celebrities have used gender reveals on their Instagram and other social media pages.

If you are invited to a gender reveal party, you should expect food and games, maybe even together. Be prepared to have some

G E N D E R R E V E A LP A R T I E S


cookies or cupcakes either pink, blue or some neutral color. Games often include guessing the gender of what you think the baby might be, predicting the day of birth or learning old wives’ tales of boys versus girls. Finally, the reveal — is it a boy or a girl? If you are thinking of bringing a gift, it’s not necessary (unless it’s a shower and gender reveal in one).

Thinking of throwing one? Let your sonographer know ahead of time that’s the plan, but you can always know and keep it a secret too. Bring an envelope if you don’t want to know and ask the sonographer to put the gender inside. At that point, you can give the envelope to a trusted friend or family member or give it directly to your baker/party planner. If you plan on doing a cake reveal, contact a local bakery and see if they accommodate your request.

Setting the date a month in advance for your gender reveal party is enough time for you to plan and invite guests. Decide how you want to do the reveal — Cake? Balloons? Silly string? Reveal tees? The possibilities are endless and honestly a lot of fun!

If you are looking for a little bit of inspiration, check out our Pinterest page for tons of ideas. Pinterest is full of tips that you can use for themed gender reveal parties such as Football theme, Ties or Tutus and What will it Bee. Don’t forget to check out gender reveal themed decor. Visit your local party supply store for more ideas. Another forgotten gem for inspiration is Etsy. If you have something more out of the box, this is definitely the place to go for inspiration, ideas and one-of-a-kind decor. And to see what not to do, search YouTube.

Whether you have been to one, think it’s ridiculous to have one, are thinking of having one for your first or your third or never heard of one, one thing is for sure — this trend is not going away. Prepare to see more Instagram reveals, YouTube videos and whatever social media platform is coming next. My advice, enjoy the cake.

City Barbeque1356 S Rangeline Rd Carmel317-660-8369citybbq.com

When you walk in the front door, the smell of hickory smoke almost knocks you over, and that’s how you know you have arrived at one of the nation’s best barbeque joints (according to Men’s Journal Magazine, Business Insider, The Daily Beast and TripAdvisor).

City Barbeque got its start when a group of BBQ competitors were named Champion at the American Royal Barbeque Competition, considered the highest level of barbeque competition, for their Brisket. This gave Rick Malir and his wife Bonnie the confidence to open their first restaurant in Columbus, OH.

They got their start catering OSU football games, and catering is still a big part of the business. “We had never run a restaurant, so we had a lot of learning to do”, said Rick. “I was blessed to have found the right people to help the restaurant succeed, many of which are still with the company today.” The restaurant features many fantastic sides straight from the family cookbook, along with constantly refined smoking and

pit master tricks to turn out competition quality meats.

City Barbeque believes strongly in giving back to the community and focusing on taking care of guests with something they call Backyard Hospitality. Since the Carmel joint opened in May 2013, they have given back over $50,000 to organizations like Carmel High School, Carmel Dad’s Club and Humane Society for Hamilton Co., and the list goes on and on.

Each manager is encouraged to get involved in the community. Many organizations work with City Barbeque to host a fundraiser at the joint for their nonprofit, kid’s sports team or church group. City Barbeque gives back 25 percent of proceeds generated from fundraising efforts. You can visit their website or ask to speak with a manager for the scoop.

So, what is the secret to making great barbeque? The Carmel joint is equipped with three huge smokers which are fed with local hickory wood. The beef brisket, pulled

pork, ribs, chicken and turkey are slow-smoked to perfection, some meats taking up to 18 hours to cook. As they say in the barbeque world, low and slow is the secret.

City Barbeque has been voted the barbeque favorite year after year by the Indy A-List. Along with their competition quality meats,

their sides are known as some of the best! From green beans with bacon and corn pudding to fresh cut fries and classic collard greens, they have a little something to please everyone.

Speaking of pleasing people, do you have a large group of folks to feed? Their catering provides exceptional customer services as well as the delicious food you would

expect. “We love City Barbeque food, and it did not disappoint at our wedding. It was delicious, and many people said it was the best wedding food they’ve had. The set-up with the cast iron pots was unique and fun. I wasn’t expecting it, but it complemented our venue perfectly. The staff serving at the event were friendly and helpful.” Weddings, birthdays, corporate luncheons – they’ve done it all.

City Barbeque Carmel Staff: Ready to share their Backyard Hospitality!

As a special thank you, City Barbeque would like to offer a $5 reward to the first 100 fans who take a picture of themselves in the Carmel joint by April 30 and post it on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram with

the hashtag #CarmelCityBBQ.

A visit to the Penrod Arts Fair is a family tradition for me and my wife, Jeanne, each fall. This past year, we moved into a new home, so we were in the market for some new artwork.

Shopping the hundreds of art exhibits, Jeanne walked by one tent and stopped in her tracks to say, “I want that painting!” It was an abstract painting of a turbulent sky over dark water (at least that is what I saw), and the colors and mood of the painting were perfect for our home. I snapped a photo on my phone, and we proceeded to tour the rest of the grounds at the Indianapolis Art Museum.

When we returned back to the tent, the painting was gone. A lady in the tent explained that someone had purchased that painting just five minutes before we returned. Jeanne was devastated but assured by the young lady staffing the booth that the artist could commission something similar for us. She wrote a cell phone number on the back of the Magdelana Gallery of Art business card, and we returned home empty handed.

A few weeks later, Jeanne sent a text message to the artist. She arrived at our front door the following week to view our home and measure the space for

the painting. Opening the door, Jeanne was greeted by a mother-daughter duo.

“Hello Jeanne, my name is Magdalena Segovia, and this is my daughter Marisabel,” she said. “My daughter is the artist.”

Jeanne was floored. Out of all the artists on display at Penrod, we probably chose the youngest artist to commission our first painting for our home.

Marisabel is an 18-year-old senior at Carmel High School. She is a manager at the Monon Center for lifeguards, is involved in student government, teaches art classes, dances and paints in her spare time. This fall, Marisabel will attend Indiana University where she will major in biology, but she’s determined to go to Purdue and go into engineering.

“I don’t want to make painting my job,” she said. “I wouldn’t want to take away from any of the happiness that painting brings me.”

Marisabel recently delivered the painting entitled “Creating Sky,” a sibling to “Dreamer’s Sky” that we loved so much at Penrod. It’s the perfect accent piece to our new home, hanging in the dining room right off the front door entry.

As the directors and leadership of the Western Golf Association are actively preparing for this year’s BMW Championship, scheduled to be held September 6-11 at Carmel’s Crooked Stick Golf Course, they also want the public to be aware of the principal purpose behind the championship. What the general public may not know about this renowned championship is that in addition to bringing the greatest golfers in the world like Rory McIlroy, Jason Day and Phil Mickelson in to grace the well-manicured fairways out at Crooked Stick, the profits from the tournament are one of the primary fundraising mechanisms for the Evans Scholars Foundation.

Recently, 11 Indiana students, mostly high school seniors, received a fateful package

stating, “Congratulations, you have been selected.” These 11 individuals are the 2016 recipients of a Chick Evans Scholarship, a full four-year housing and tuition college scholarship awarded to young people who have a strong record as a caddie, excellent academics, demonstrated financial need and outstanding character. The prized scholarship is valued at more than $80,000 over four years.

The Western Golf Association, headquartered in Golf, Illinois, has supported the Chick Evans Scholarship Program through the Evans Scholars Foundation since 1930. Charles “Chick” Evans Jr., a famed Chicago amateur golfer, founded the program specifically for caddies who wanted to go to college but did not have the means to attend. Evans was a highly accomplished amateur golfer who was the first person in 1916 to win the U.S. Open

and the U.S. Amateur Championships in the same year.

Evans was a caddy growing up as a young boy that went to college for a year and had to drop out due to financial hardships. Later in life, he recorded instructional albums for golfers and put his earnings into a trust and formed the Evans Scholars Foundation that sponsors the scholarship program today. Currently, there have been over 10,0000 individuals who have received the Evans Scholarship.

On February 3, we attended the last step in the competitive selection process in becoming an Evans Scholarship recipient. This requires the candidate to appear before a selection committee comprised of ESF Trustees, WGA Directors, Evans Scholars Alumni and other interested guests. Each candidate bravely stood before a room



packed with approximately 50 adults and fielded questions for 15 minutes.

Imagine yourself as a high school senior stepping up to that podium knowing that your responses to the questions from this august group could result in your being awarded an unbelievably life-changing academic opportunity. The finalist we saw performed with an amazing style, confidence and grace well beyond their years.

Each finalist has a unique story to tell, reflecting the scholarship’s four selection criteria: a strong caddie record; excellent academics; demonstrated financial need; and outstanding character. Representing the local area were Andrew Hedges, his twin sister Megan Hedges and Ethan Parsley, all from Westfield High School, and Hayden Bauschka from Carmel High School.

“Based on their excellence in the classroom and their service to their schools and communities, there is little doubt that these young men and women have earned this life-changing opportunity,” said John Kaczkowski, WGA president and CEO. “We welcome them to the Evans Scholars family. It is a lifelong program, and the scholars form lifelong bonds with their fellow alums. Many alums stay engaged their entire lives, either through donating back into the program for future scholars or as a mentor. Our mission is to support the foundation, and the BMW championship is the biggest vehicle that we have to promote and as a

fundraiser for the foundation.”

Crooked Stick Golf Club president Nick Deets shared with us the history between the club, the WGA and what value hosting the BMW Championship brings to the Evans Scholars Foundation.

“Hosting the BMW Championship is great for our golf club,” Deets said. “This tournament brings in the 70 best, world class golfers in the world to Carmel, Indiana. This will be our second time in five years to host the tournament, which is extraordinary. Crooked Stick Golf Club has had a long-term relationship with WGA. We have been for one their largest supporters in the Midwest for more than 10 years.

“We hosted the 2012 BMW Championship that was the ‘PGA Tournament of the Year,’ at which we raised over $3 million for the ESF. We hope to do that well, or better, in 2016. We do this to raise money to send great young men and women to college for free. There cannot be any better goal and purpose for the tournament than that.”

Carmel resident and finalist Hayden Bauschka is a Carmel High School graduate who is completing his second semester as a freshman at Purdue University. He is an exception to the usual Evans Scholar in that he is already enrolled in college but most certainly met the criteria to earn his scholarship so that he can continue his education and achieve his goals.

“I am currently studying engineering management,” Bauschka said. “I was born in Louisville and lived in several places before moving to Carmel. My parents are divorced, and my mom, Cindy, works hard to provide and take care of the daily expenses.”

Bauschka needed to work in high school, and so he became a caddie at Prairie View and Wood Wind golf courses. He said that it was Matt Cohoat, one of the caddy masters at Prairie View, and Jake Peacock, the head golf professional at Wood Wind, that encouraged him to apply.

“Being awarded this scholarship has been huge for me,” Bauschka expressed. “It means the world to me to have that financial security heading forward into my college career. Knowing that I will be able to continue my college education and graduate without student loan debt is incredible. I am so grateful to have been awarded this scholarship.”

Westfield High School seniors, Andrew and Megan Hedges, began caddying at Wood Wind and Prairie View Golf courses two years ago. Their younger twin sisters also caddy. They were inspired by their father, Rob, who along with his twin brother, were Evans Scholars.

Andrew Hedges will be attending Purdue University and wants to study mechanical engineering. Megan Hedges is applying at IU and wants to study interior design.

Hayden Bauschka Ethan Parsley Andrew & Megan Hedges


The greatest aspect of caddying for Andrew is the relationship building.

“I have been able to build relationships with some great people that I have caddied for these last couple of years,” he noted. “We’ve been able to caddy for some pretty influential and successful people who we’ve been able to learn from.”

Hedge’s twin sister, Megan, spoke about the challenges of being a caddy.

“Being a caddy is a great experience,” she said. “I think the most challenging part is learning how to strike up a conversation while on the course. It has helped me to improve my conversation and social skills.”

The twin siblings both credited their brother Jeff and Matt Cohoat, whom they have both caddied for, noting that they have encouraged and inspired them throughout the entire application process.

Ethan Parsley will be attending the IU Kelley School of Business, studying business management or finance and minoring in music theory. His great-uncle, Mike Bell, is an Evans Scholar alum and is a member of the Indiana Golf Hall of Fame.

“He was a big inspiration for me,” Parsley said. “One of my passions is music theory, and I want to minor in that at IU. I play the

trombone and have been in the marching band and my school choir. I am a member of the National Honor Society and a participant in the Music Theory Bowl at Westfield High School.” Coming from a large blended family, this scholarship is also life changing for Parsley.

Carmel resident and a member of the board of governors among his other roles for the ESF and WGA, M. Johnston Erwin elaborated on the life experiences that the scholars gain once they begin college life.

“We have 14 houses around the midwest, one at Purdue and one at IU,” Erwin explained. “Part of the scholarship is the opportunity for the education. That, of course, is the part that matches with the university, and the second part that we believe is equally as powerful as the first is the living experience. With both houses combined at IU and Purdue, there are over 100 of our scholars. The houses are self-governed, and there is a leadership structure

In October 2013, 14-year-old Abigail Boldt was feeling extraordinarily tired from her daily routine and would become easily exhausted from walking to and from her classrooms. After dismounting from her horse and calling it “quits” mid-competition during a weekend horse show, Boldt and her parents knew that something was not right.

“I went to school during the first part of the week after the horse show,” Boldt recalled. “Then one day after school, I came home and went to sleep and didn’t wake up until the following morning. My mother, Monica, made an appointment with our family doctor, Dr. Emily Szewczyk, MD with Priority Physicians.”

Once Dr. Szewczyk examined Boldt, she urged her and her mother to head over to the Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital Emergency Center as she followed behind them.

Within an hour and a half of Boldt’s arrival, her oncologist, Dr. Jessica Goodman, MD, predicted a highly probable diagnosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

In that moment, Boldt’s perception of what was important had changed in every way possible. Material items were suddenly immaterial. Experiences and moments with

her family and friends became even more precious as Dr. Goodman explained to her what her life might look like if this was, indeed, the diagnosis.

“I was admitted on a Friday, so they weren’t able to run the necessary tests on me until that following Monday,” Boldt explained. “I spent the weekend in the hospital waiting and wondering if I had leukemia. I had my parents and my two brothers, Peter and Charles, along with close friends at my side, and that helped to make the weekend bearable as we waited.”

Early that following Monday morning, Boldt was prepped for a bone marrow biopsy. The procedure lasted approximately 15 minutes. Bernie and Monica Boldt were permitted to stay at their daughter’s side until she was under the anesthesia and were allowed to return immediately after the procedure was completed to be there as she awoke.

“I was officially diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia later that day and was given an 85 percent chance of survival,” Boldt said softly. “It did not take them long to confirm the diagnosis. Generally speaking, once the initial blood work is drawn, the doctors will be able to see if ‘blast cells,’ unidentified white blood cells, are present in the blood sample. Blast cells are often found in the blood of patients

diagnosed with acute leukemia. In children, the most common type of cancer is acute lymphoblastic leukemia, which is also the most common type of leukemia.”

Boldt would proceed to undergo a total of 24 spinal taps throughout her treatment which lasted a period of two years and three months. During the procedure, she received intrathecal chemotherapy through a lumbar puncture when a needle is placed between the cerebrospinal space in between two vertebrae in the spine. Pediatric patients are put under general anesthesia during these procedures to spare them additional pain.

Shortly after her treatments began, Boldt’s red blood cell increased, and her stamina would slowly improve.

“I received about 10 blood and platelet transfusions throughout the course of my treatment that helped boost my red blood cell count when my cell count was severely low,” Boldt described. “During those days, I just wanted to sit and chill. I watched a lot of Netflix.”

Visits from friends and visitors was extremely limited so as not to expose and endanger her while her immune system was compromised. Access to modern technology, specifically FaceTime, enabled her to virtually “hang out” with her friends

A LOCAL TEEN’S CAMPAIGN TO END CANCER


and classmates. She was prohibited from seeing her beloved horse during the most crucial stages of her treatment, which was heart-wrenching for the young and accomplished equestrian.

“I spent a lot of my time focused on being healthy and staying in my ‘bubble,’ which was incredibly frustrating,” Boldt admitted. “From the beginning, I knew that it was going to be a long journey, but I was determined to get healthy again. Some days felt like they were never going to end. On days that I felt good, I told myself that I was just that much closer to it being all over.

“Of course, there was the worry in the back of my mind that the treatment might not work. I talked through those moments with my family and friends, especially with one of my good friends, Elle. I met another friend, Erica, later on during my treatment who has become a close friend and big supporter. Throughout my treatment, my family and friends encouraged me both mentally and emotionally.”

During her first month of treatment, she was taking an incredibly high dose of steroids which produces a side affect of extreme hunger. The dosage level that she was taking

made her ravenous at times.

“There was one day that I ate 10 eggs, two 8 oz. steaks, two orders of fish and chips and any food that was within reach of me,” she exclaimed. “I ate an entire meal nearly every three hours and would wake up at 2:30 a.m. most mornings and would have to eat, or I was going to eat someone. My parents were amazing in that they would bring me food without complaint. I was just simply that hungry.”

Boldt expressed that throughout her ordeal, she learned a great deal about herself. Lessons that some adults have not been challenged with, a young teenage girl had to face, process and accept.

“I learned that I am much tougher than I thought I was,” she expressed. “I also learned that there are other people who have it worse than I did. Some patients’ diseases require more research. For some, the current and available research is still not enough to successfully treat them.”

Even as Boldt was counting down the months to her final treatment, she was becoming increasingly aware of how she could help make fellow patients more

comfortable during their hospital stays. Through the support of family, friends and the local communities, she raised $25,000 to outfit and decorate a pediatric patient room at the Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital. She selected an equestrian theme out of her love of horses.

“It brings me such joy to know that something I did will make a child feel more at ease and hopefully feel a little better while staying in the room,” Boldt expressed. “I also wanted to give back to the blood banks after receiving transfusions myself, so with the help of my family, friends and the community again, we were able to host a blood drive at our family residence in Zionsville. We collected 131 units of blood, which was one of the largest private blood drives in Indiana history.”

As the time passed, Boldt counted down the spinal taps and eventually the days to her last oral chemo treatment.

“I was in Ohio with my mom and one of my closest friends attending a horse show that I had entered my horse in,” Boldt said, beaming with joy. “I contacted my dad and brothers via FaceTime, so they could be a part of my last treatment. I took my last pill at 9:15 p.m. It really didn’t sink in until the next evening when the evening came, and I didn’t have to take a pill. It was amazing. I cried because I was incredibly excited and overcome with joy. It was the end of my treatments. It finally came.”

Boldt says that she can optimistically look forward to her future now. Now, at 16 years old, she has been inspired to become a doctor and work with children. In the meantime, there is to be no grass growing under her feet. She has been nominated and is currently campaigning for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Indianapolis Chapter Woman of the Year Award. This is a 10-week campaign, from the beginning of March through mid-May, to raise as much money as she can for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. The winner is the candidate that raises the most money.

“This campaign is personally important to me as I have benefited from those who

Boldt Family left to right: Charlie, Bernie, Abigail, Monica and Peter


have previously donated to The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and the subsequent research as a direct result of their donations,” Boldt expressed. “During this campaign, it is my goal and the goal of the other nominees is to raise as much money as we can. However, in order for me to be successful in this endeavor, I need to call, once again, on my friends and members of the local communities to assist by donating to my campaign.”

The official fundraising period begins the day of kickoff, Thursday, March 3 and runs through Saturday, May 14. Checks should be made payable to The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. All donors should write the candidate name in the “memo” portion of the check.

Boldt is out speaking to raise awareness and funds on behalf of her campaign. She has spoken in front of her classmates at Brebuef

Jesuit and will be hosting fundraising events throughout her campaign, sharing her story of survival and passion to fund research and ultimately live to see a cure to all types of leukemia.

When asked what words she would like to share with children fighting their battles, she replied, “I know that life is rough right now, and it may seem like this is never going to end, but there is a light at the end of that tunnel. It’s just really hard to see right now. It will become brighter as the days go by. You can get through this. Don’t give up.”

As we all know, spring in Indiana brings gorgeous flowers and blooming trees. But for many us it also brings out our allergies that can cause running noses, watery eyes and a laundry list of unpleasant conditions or we are taking prescription medications that sometimes make you feel nearly as bad as the symptoms. For those looking for an alternative method of controlling their allergies, there is Homeopathic Touch, located at 210 East 91st Street.

Homeopathic Touch was founded by Sergiy Druganov. His academic credentials are not what you typically imagine when you see someone offering “alternative” practices. First, he received his medical degree from the National University in Kiev with a specialty in pediatrics. After finishing medical school and receiving the Ukrainian equivalent of and MD, he became an Associate Professor in Pediatrics at the national Ukrainian medical school. As an Associate Professor he was teaching and practicing “traditional medicine”. However, over time, he found that many of his patients suffering from chronic conditions such as allergies were finding better results with homeopathic treatments than the traditional medications and treatments being prescribed. Sergiy concluded that the traditional remedies were not intended

to actually cure the condition, but merely treating the symptoms. As a result, he began to explore the world of homeopathic remedies more and more.

Many people confuse “home remedies” that your great grandmother applied with homeopathy. According to the American Institute of Homeopathy (“AIH”), “Homeopathic medicine is the practice of medicine that embraces a holistic, natural approach to the treatment of the sick. Homeopathy is holistic because it treats the person as a whole, rather than focusing on a diseased part or a labeled sickness. AIH further states that the guiding principle of homeopathy is “let likes cure likes”. In other words, a substance taken in small amounts will cure the same symptoms it causes if it was taken in large amounts. While this concept dates back to the Greek Father of Medicine Hippocrates (460-377 B.C.) it was a German Physician Dr. C. F. Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843) who first codified the principle into a system of medicine nearly two hundred years ago.

Dr. Hahnemann began with experiments, known as provings, on himself and then began to administer medicinal substances on healthy volunteers noting the symptoms that resulted from taking the substance.

Over the years, by means of these provings, toxicological data and clinical experience, the homeopathic drug pictures of over 2,000 substances have been derived. From this information, Dr. Hahnemann administered medication with a known remedy picture to a sick person who had a similar symptom picture. These medications were prepared at a much lower concentration to the point that there is no detectable chemical substance left.

Like all homeopathic practitioners, Sergie begins with a new patient by conducting an extensive interview that is designed to get a complete medical history and also an extensive perspective of things in their environment, lifestyle or heredity that could also be effecting their health. The interview is much more than just trying to determine the symptoms. The interview is an important part of the holistic approach that is a critical part of homeopathic remedies. From the interview, he will begin to offer homeopathic remedies to address the underlying condition, not just the symptoms.

While relief of seasonal allergies are on minds of many people at this time, Homeopathic Touch welcomes patients with any number of chronic conditions.

HOMEPATHIC TOUCH PROVIDING AN ALTERNATIVE IN HEALTH CARE



While an extended trip to rustic Tuscany is always palatable, one can more practically experience authentic Italian cuisine and a bottle of Tuscan Brunello di Montalcino on the north side of Indianapolis at the Sangiovese Ristorante.

Founded in 1994 and purchased in 2007 by Owner and Operator Chris Evans, Sangiovese Ristorante has maintained their dedication to their customers by providing the highest quality ingredients and knowledgeable service. Since the re-opening at their new location in 2014, they have provided a modern yet warmly intimate environment that invigorates their dinner guests.

The locally renowned Italian restaurant is conveniently located in the Ironworks at Keystone complex, immediately accessible to I-465 and the Fashion Mall at Keystone.

“We are neighbors to a few notable establishments such as Ruth’s Chris, Profyle Boutique, G Michael Salon and to the

approximate 150 residents who live in the Ironworks luxury apartments,” Evans said. “Bar none, we feel that we have the best location on the north side, especially for a restaurant.”

Evans explained that they went from 4,000 sq. ft. of space and 100 indoor seats at their original location on 86th Street to 3,000 sq. ft. and 80 indoor seats at their current venue.

“The reduction in square footage was by design,” Evans stated. “I designed the space to eliminate wasted square footage, so that we can better manage our dining area. The result is that we have created a higher level of service and better overall experience for our guests. We do have a private room that can seat up to 18 people, and we use that mostly for business meetings and small family gatherings.”

Loyal patrons have seen a dramatic evolution in the restaurant’s decor, boasting a warm black interior with chocolate brown undertones and wood grains accentuated with a brilliant instillation of compartmental

A GREAT TASTE OF ITALY IN INDIANAPOLIS


spaces and lighting throughout the dining and bar areas. Evans’ vision for the design of the new location was inspired by what he saw trending in the restaurants in downtown Chicago and NYC.

White linen tablecloths has become an antiquated expression of etiquette and are no longer a requirement for a luxurious dining experience. Evans described his clientele as a broad demographic of ages and discriminating palates. While maintaining his existing clientele, he is also mindful to attract another generation of diners who will become regulars over the next 20-30 years.

While the location and decor of the Sangiovese Ristorante has undergone an incredible transformation, their delectable menu remains unaltered. Popular favorites such as their Scaloppini Marsala, a tenderized veal with sautéed mushrooms in a traditional Marsala wine sauce, and their Linguini con vongole with baby clams, peeled tomatoes in a spicy white wine butter sauce along with their other “house” favorites can be ordered along with a glass or bottle of exquisite wines from a variety of regions.

“The wine list changed drastically, and we expanded it to include some varietals that I personally enjoy and that our customers have recommended to us over the years,” Evans said. “Our previous menu boasted

predominantly Italian wines, and now we offer a variety of Californian Cabernet, Italian Brunello, Barolo, Argentinian Malbec wines and Californian Chardonnay wines that pair beautifully with our menu.

“Our staff is highly educated on our wine selections, and we have built strong relationships with our vendors and wine makers to take our service to the next level. It is our goal to create an exceptional dining experience for our customers with every visit.”

If you have not yet visited the Sangiovese Ristorante at its new location or are looking to have an all encompassing, authentic Italian meal with impeccable service, make your reservation today and buon appetito!

Becker Landscape, a family-owned business, began reshaping the greater metropolitan’s landscapes in 1976. The company, founded by John C. Becker and his five sons, started out of the family’s garage. Today, the founder’s son Larry Becker oversees the daily operations and has grown the family’s business to where it employs as many as 240 during their busy season.

Becker graduated from Purdue with a degree in Landscape Management and Design. Afterwards, Becker continued to work for his father and now presides as president and CEO. Both of his daughters work for the company, full-time, and sons work for the family when they are not attending school.

Integrity, attention to detail, customer

satisfaction and customer retention are Becker Landscape’s key areas of focus as they continue to systematically grow their company. Becker and his team offer a complete line of both residential and commercial services, including lawn care, lawn maintenance, design/build, construction, tree care, irrigation, lighting and snow removal.

Becker Landscape has first rate educated and experienced employees to complement the services they provide, including professionally trained arborists, accredited and credentialed managers and supervisors, and fully trained, professional, and dedicated teams working onsite. Each client receives a customized program, customized exclusively for their unique landscaping needs.

When asked about trending installations, Becker said that the outdoor living areas

are still the most requested installations by their residential customers.

“When we work with our clients, we sit down with them and one of our designers to discuss their ideas and how they plan to use their outdoor space,” Becker explained. “We try to identify and utilize the ‘bones’ of what currently exists and work with that. Trees are the clients’ most valuable asset in the landscape. While we try to work with the existing features, we also have clients who want or need to start completely fresh and new. We are able to accommodate our clients, whatever their needs and preferences are. We take a practical approach to each project. One can design anything but our specialty is building and maintaining it.”

Becker and his team work with clients to fully understand the project and desired outcome and set milestones right out

Jay Cheesman, Larry Becker, Allison Becker, Steve Hastings, Michelle Morris, and Adam Bossung


of the gate to ensure everyone involved achieves those goals. This includes full commitment to building a meaningful relationship with the customer and maintaining it past the end of the project, whether residential or commercial.

“Landscapes, particularly in residential installations, are incredibly personal and intimate to our clients,” Becker stated. “We are creating these outdoor spaces as an extension of their homes. They use these spaces to relax or to entertain so we want to create high-quality features WITHIN functional spaces for them.”

Becker also works with clients who are not as concerned about an outdoor kitchen or fire pit area but are avid horticulturalists who want to design healing gardens or other specialty areas where they can cultivate their favorite species of exotic plants and

other specialty vegetation including driving focused wildlife activity if desired.

For these clients, Becker and his specialists are able to offer recommendations for specific types of trees and plants that will attract several species of birds or other wild life if the client is interested in assisting the eco-system while designing their landscapes. Trees like the Grey Dogwood or Wild Cherry trees act as a single-source feeder to many native Indiana birds and are commonly included in the design process for this reason.

There are examples of Becker Landscape’s work all over central Indiana. Notable projects, including the landscaping along Georgia Street for the Super Bowl, the vegetation garden on the rooftop of Eskenazi Hospital, Saxony Park, both the

residential and corporate park behind the I.U. Hospital, the new entrance to Mooresville, along Highway IN-67, and the Hamilton Town Center and the Palladium in Carmel, are just a few of the exquisite installations designed and completed by Becker Landscape.

“We are more than just contractors,” Becker said. “We are designers and specialists who work with our clients to create their own personal sanctuary, meditative gardens or ultimate outdoor living spaces and maintain them, using the same high-level of quality personnel and products as we would provide our commercial cliental.”

BEYOND 3.1 : INDIANA’S RACE FOR THE CURE CELEBRATES 25 YEARS

Writer & Photographer / Keeley Miller

Founders of the first Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in Central Indiana recently met the current organizers to talk about the first year race and the 25 year impact. Standing left to right Natalie Sutton, Pam Miltner and Jane Ambro. Seated Sally Friend, Kathy Harrison, Lisa Cole and Kasey Koffman.


Susan G. Komen Central Indiana began a race 25 years ago that lasted for more than

the final mile marker. The annual Race for the Cure 5K has become the largest fundraising event for breast cancer globally, reaching to 150 annual races in four continents since beginning in 1983. In 1991, Susan G. Komen Central Indiana joined that legacy with the first race in the state, beginning at historic Fort Benjamin Harrison. But with 25 years of spreading hope, change and support, Susan G. Komen’s Race for the Cure is more than just a race.

In celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Indianapolis race, the leaders that put together the very first race came back together for a special interview. Sharing memories, the group was able to reminisce on where Indiana’s Race for the Cure began and what it has grown to.

Local organizations, including the Junior League of Indianapolis and Little Red Door Cancer Agency, were crucial in the formation of the first race. Lisa Cole, who was introduced to the race from her position in the women’s volunteer organization Junior League and became the 1991 race’s first chairman, shared how these organizations pulled the community together.

“The Junior League has a long-standing history of starting efforts from the ground level. Conner Prairie Farm is an example of that. There are a lot of different institutions that have stayed here in our city. Komen approached Junior League to see if we would be interested in starting a race with the eventual opportunity of starting a chapter. In the process, Junior League selected their leadership team for the event, so that is how all of us got to be a part of it,” said Cole.

“Although [the race] was coming from a national program, to have that local connection [was special]. We knew that a percentage of the money raised from the race would go to national efforts for research and all the important things that were going on on a national level, but we also wanted to make a difference in our own community.”

In the first year, the race granted $35,000 to Little Red Door Cancer Agency and $15,000

to breast cancer research, a large amount for only the first year. That money was able to potentially save numerous lives by providing women with mammograms and even biopsies.

Twenty-five years later, the money raised from the annual race is still being pushed back into the community, saving lives and raising hope. Natalie Sutton, current Executive Director of Susan G. Komen Central Indiana, emphasized how important these donations and funds are to helping the local community, not only to the national program.

“We still feel like it is really important that most of the money stays local, and it is invested in breast health programs in the local community,” said Sutton.

After countless hours of work and preparation, roadblocks and accomplishments, the very first Central Indiana Race for the Cure took place. In 1991, the only major race that took place locally was the OneAmerica 500 Festival Mini-Marathon, so to put together a race from nothing and grow it to an event recognized around the city that gives back so much was powerful.

“I think that is what is great about being able to have this chance now and look back,” added Cole. “Those are the important things that have stuck with the race all these years. It still has that really strong connection.”Not only has the race been able to provide the local community with healthcare, but it has also been able to educate women and provide support. The first year, the race was exclusive to women only and also aimed to educate

racers and members on breast health. Today, that push for education is also a driving force for the race, although it is open to males as well.

“[The first race] was back in the time where breast cancer was not talked about like it is today,” commented Pam Miltner, Co-Chair of 2016 race as well as Co-Chair of the 2004 and 2008 race. But not only has Miltner been a key role in the Race for the Cure, she is also a survivor of breast cancer, making her experience with the race much more personal.

“I was diagnosed in ‘93, and during my last treatment, [my oncologist] gave me the brochure for the race. He said, ‘You need to go and do this.’ He told me I would not be able to run or walk, but they would need volunteers,” said Miltner. “[At the race], there were 200 survivors. I remember standing at the water station, and all the women came over and told me to join them. Going up there with them,…it was wonderful. Having all those survivors together helped me because they knew exactly what I was going through. They were all just hugging [me] and saying that it was going to be okay. That was huge for me, and the rest is history.”

That community of support has only grown. In the 2015 race, around 1,500 survivors were present, and the event raised $1.3 million. For 2016, the goals are even higher with hopes to exceed the previous year’s outcome to be able to give back even more.

“After Mom died, we all began worrying more about Dad.”

—Kate Weese“Having raised 10 children in our

family, our Mom and Dad were always busy and very active socially, even after we all left their home. When Mom died suddenly, we knew it would be difficult for Dad to transition into a “new normal” in an empty home. With the help of all the kids, from coast to coast, we sought a retirement community that would provide Dad with a safe and active life. We all agreed Westminster Village North was our best option and to him, a perfect new home.”

“ I couldn’t be happier here. My apartment is comfortable, the staff are wonderful, there are many things to do and I’ve met a lot of new friends.” —Don Boyle

The Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre (GHDT) will portray the monumental events that marked the last week of Jesus Christ’s life in the return of their production, “SUPERHERO: The story of a man called Jesus.”

Back for the third consecutive year by popular demand, this critically acclaimed, full length modern ballet brings to life the struggles of Jesus Christ and the women surrounding him as well as his complicated relationship with Judas Iscariot.

Featuring world class dancers, award-winning choreography, vivid costuming and contemporary music, artistic director

Gregory Hancock skillfully draws audiences into the poignant emotion of Jesus’ story while evoking the universality of Jesus’ message and teachings.

Hancock said that his inspiration for this particular production came from a trip to San Antonio, Texas.

“The production was inspired when I went on a trip to San Antonio that occurred over Easter several years ago,” Hancock explained. “The locals were doing a ‘Passion’ play on the streets of San Antonio which was very interesting. It was particularly interesting to see people dressed in robes, carrying a cross and Roman soldiers mixed with tourists carrying cameras along the streets and cars just passing by. It motivated me to make a contemporary version of the greatest story ever told.

GREGORY HANCOCK DANCE THEATRE PRESENTS

“SUPERHERO”

THE STORY OF A MAN CALLED JESUS


“It is still such a relevant story. It is a universal story of love, compassion and sacrifice. I focused on the relationships between Jesus and his mother and with Mary Magdalene, in addition to the series of events leading up to his crucifixion. In regards to the costumes and music, the costume designs reflect my affiliation and deep connection to India. The production begins with a sort of ‘rock concert’ feel, then the piece evolves into more classical scores that allow the audience to connect with the performances.”

Hancock has been pleased with the growing momentum that his company has experienced, especially in the wake and recent success of his incredible debut of “ La Casa Azul.”

“We were pleased with the attendance with both runs of that production,” he enthused. “People who were not familiar with our productions were able to discover us. ‘SUPERHERO’ has been doing well for us over the last couple of years, and that is why we have decided to make it an annual production in hopes that it will become an Easter tradition for our patrons. This is another very personal piece for me, even more so now after the events of the past couple of years.

“There are certain scenes within the show that are more difficult for me to work on now, and it has become a deeper part of me now. It holds a different meaning for me now than when I first created the piece. It is nice when art evolves like that and changes with the creator. I have new perspectives and emotions that I bring to the performance and that I share with the cast. It is a personal journey that I can share with them, and that gives them a different approach to the piece.”

The GHDT’s board president, Ivy Heazeltine, spoke about their goals for 2016.

“The work is brilliant, enjoyable and entertaining for our audiences,” Heazeltine expressed. “‘SUPERHERO’ is a remarkable production that will have an everlasting effect, and we hope that our patrons will return year after year. We continue to focus on building connections and strengthening our relations throughout our community and central Indiana. We hope to continue to see the growth in our audiences and their continued enjoyment of our productions.”

“SUPERHERO” features talented guest artists James Gilmer as Jesus and Liang Fu as Judas Iscariot as well as GHDT company dancers Sarah Sigman as Mother Mary and Hannah Brown as Mary Magdalene.

Considered one of GHDT’s signature works, “SUPERHERO” has been described as a “whirl of energy through color, light, movement and sound” and is a timeless retelling of the story of a man who changed history and the world around him forever.

Camptown, located at 7998 Georgetown Road, is a 501(c)3 non-profit company that is a faith based organization dedicated to enriching the lives of youth by providing them an opportunity to experience the wonders of the outdoors. Camptown’s philosophy is to lead youth to a better path through experiential adventure programs in the great outdoors.

In 1993, a gentleman named Tom Lehman left the business world to work full time for Camptown with the purpose of making a positive difference in the lives of youth. Sadly, Tom passed away in 2003. Fortunately, Camptown had an experienced volunteer, Don Schafer, to step into the role that Tom had created. Don, a longtime Zionsville resident, has always been an avid outdoors adventurer and has a passion for helping kids. So, Don left the business world where he worked as a Regional Financial Advisor to take the helm at Camptown.

Camptown has three full time adult program directors that are trained as either wilderness first aid provider or wilderness first responders. Last year it served approximately 3,500 youths. The excursions that are offered by Camptown run from outings at Ft. Benjamin Harrison to Yellowstone National Park. Many of the youth participating are from the inner city to whom an opportunity to experience the outdoors is very rare and can be life changing.

At Camptown’s offices it has a climbing wall and conference space to accommodate around twenty people. Recently, Camptown decided to make their office spaces open to the public for events in order to generate revenue to fund their youth activities. Their rock climbing wall makes for a great team building opportunity for a business or a terrific venue for a birthday party or other get together. They have the following special events coming up: Parents Night Out March 18th and Christian Music Night April 15th. Just contact Don or his staff to schedule an event. 317.471.8277
