HAMILTON HEIGHTS YOUTH FOOTBALL LEAGUE RUSHING INTO A NEW SEASON

Writer / Janet Gilray

Girls, boys, and coaches alike are ready to charge into the 2014 fall season of the Hamilton Heights Youth Football League. A new season is set to begin August 4. Opportunity for team play in flag football, contact football and cheerleading activities abound.

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

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

of athletic ability, sex, or family income. (Scholarships are available for families who cannot afford to pay.)

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

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

is now paid to preventing injury and to concussion awareness. In the past two years, all helmets have been replaced with the newest generation of protective helmets. The HHYFL player safety director just recently attended USA Football’s player safety coach training in Chicago at the Chicago Bears training facility, also.

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

The United States Golf Association will be calling Harbour Trees its home for the 2014 U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur tournament.

The popular USGA event has made history with its location this year. The 28th tournament will be hosted for the first time in Indiana.

Steve Baker, co-chairman of the Harbour Trees championship committee, states on the club’s website, “Harbour Trees is delighted to have been chosen to host the 2014 U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship and to work with the United States Golf Association. The opportunity to promote women’s amateur golf and welcome the best female players in the country to our facility is a tremendous honor.”

This is one of the first USGA national championships, between the other two USGA championships, the U.S. Amateur Open and the U.S. Open. The USGA hosts 13 national championships each year.

The U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship originated in 1987 for women amateur golfers age 25 and older with a USGA Handicap of 9.4 or lower.

Dates of the championship game are Sept. 6-11. Noblesville and Harbour Trees will welcome 132 of the best women amateur golfers from around the nation. The event is open to the public and free to all spectators.

Donna Kinney, Harbour Tree’s Beach Club manager, said she is looking forward to seeing people coming to Harbour Trees. “It is an honor to host a USGA national championship,” Kinney said. “We’re going to have a great opportunity to show spectators Harbour Trees and how wonderful our facilities are.”

Practice rounds will be held Thursday, Sept. 4 and Friday, Sept. 5. Stroke play will be Saturday, Sept. 6 and Sunday Sept. 7. At the end of the round on Sunday, the lowest 64 scores will advance to match play. Match play is when two golfers play against one another, and that begins Monday, Sept. 8. Match play will continue through the week until the final championship match, which takes place on Sept. 11.

“The USGA is very proud to bring the 2014 U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur to Harbour Trees,” said Thomas J. O’Toole Jr., USGA vice president and Championship Committee chairman. “This outstanding course, coupled with customary Indiana hospitality, will certainly make for a memorable championship for the competitors.”

Last year’s U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur tournament championship winner was Indiana’s own Julia Potter. Potter is now the USGA spokesperson and will be making an appearance at key media opportunities promoting the event.

For more information regarding the championship, visit harbourtrees.com/womensmidam. Anyone interested in volunteering may contact Donna Kinney at [email protected].

ADAPTIVE WATERSKIING ON MORSE RESERVOIR

Morse_08-14.indd 6 7/28/14 2:59 PM


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

For the 19th year, youth and adults with physical disabilities participated in two days of adaptive waterskiing on Morse Reservoir. The event is coordinated through the Rehabilitation Hospital of Indiana (RHI) Sports Program.

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

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

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

and allows them to grow their feeling of independence.

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

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

Once a year, Optimus Park in Broad Ripple plays host to a spectacular gathering of both craft beers and craft beer lovers in the form of the Indiana Microbrewers Festival. Located a few blocks north of Broad Ripple Ave. near the Indianapolis Art Center, this event becomes better organized every year. Lines for food, beer, and lavatories were as minimal as can be expected at a beer festival with approximately 5,000 people in attendance. Both Dr. Lauer and myself were in attendance, as usual. While Dr. Lauer found some new and interesting local/regional breweries, I must admit that it was difficult to ignore the tried and true breweries I know and love. It is also nice to know someone who can walk onto the back line and get beer more quickly.

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

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

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

may seem boring to some, but good representations of the style are not exactly abundant in Indiana.

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

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

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

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

HANS: My friend Leah from TAXMAN (Bargersville, IN) was pouring a Belgian Dubbel that was bone dry and incredibly attenuated (this means that there was no leftover sugar after yeast finishes its meal), as I have come to expect from this brewery. When people think that Belgian style beer is either too sweet or too syrupy, it is usually because of left over sugar, or under-attenuation. The Dubbel had the typical

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I’ve had back pain off and on most of my life, not debilitating…that is, until about the age of 40. The pain eventually became unbearable. With a very demanding job and little time to focus on my health, I sought the help of a few doctors. This is when I discovered most doctors want to pat you on the hand and tell you to “learn to live with it!” Reality is…you have “lived with it” and if you weren’t at the breaking point you wouldn’t be in their offi ce!

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

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

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

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

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

GIVING THROUGH GOLFWriter / Tracy Line

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

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

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

raise money for came easy. “I watched my kids grow up with some special students,” he notes, “and these kids have always been in the back of my mind and heart.”

At press time, this year’s tournament was on track to raise over $10,000. Over the years, Lemasters has raised roughly $120,000 in total for Special Olympics. “My original idea was to raise $100,000 and then move on to a different charity,” he says. Yet after years of working with the folks at SOHC, Lemasters came to realize the non-profit was in great need of the money his event provided. This made the choice to continue his partnership with Special Olympics an easy one.

All profits raised at the golf tournament are used for the games, uniforms and transportation. “Most kids in Hamilton County can be part of Special Olympics at no charge,” says Lemasters. The funds also help assist individual families in need. Parents of children with developmental disabilities face a number of expenses, he says. “Trust me, they need the help.” SOHC

now partners with Lemasters and AVC Auto to put on this annual event.

Lemasters opened AVC Auto, an automotive maintenance and repair center, in 1998. The company is named after his three children, Amanda, Vickie and Chuck. AVC Auto is an award-winning ASE Blue Seal Certified company. AVC places a high value on giving back locally. In addition to the golf outing, the company offers free oil changes to retired military personal on Memorial Day and for active duty military members on Labor Day.

While Lemasters has given much through his golf tournament, doing so brings him great pleasure. He cherishes the relationships he has formed with players, parents of the kids, and those who work for Special Olympics. “Over the years I’ve gotten to know quite a few of them,” says Lemasters, “and all of them are good people.”

BUILDING BUSINESS, BETTERING COMMUNITYWriter / Rosalyn DemareePhotographer / Brian Brosmer

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

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

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

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

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

His good business sense and heart make it seem like he has the Midas touch when it comes to building successful businesses, she says. “� e guy believes in the community and invests in it. He knows what they want. No ma� er what business he’s involved in, it’s a good business.”

GETTING AWAYMorrow majored in advertising at the University of Evansville and set his sights on ge� ing away from Indiana. � e day he graduated, he boarded a 6 p.m. � ight to New York where he was to be trained as a � ight a� endant. As they � ew into JFK, the young man who had never ventured very far

from Walnut Grove asked his seatmate, “What lake is that?” That lake, she told him with a smile, is the Atlantic Ocean.

He soon experienced the Atlantic from a variety of vantage points. His first three destinations as an airline employee were Rome, Paris and Tel Aviv. “I realized the world is a very small place,” said Morrow, enjoying an egg sandwich—“a staple in New York,” he explained—at Cicero Coffee Co., where just about everyone who passes the table stops to say good morning.

His globetrotting job taught him that you don’t know what you have until you don’t have it. His mother’s diagnosis of cancer brought Morrow back here in 1995. Technology was changing the way business could be done, and the self-proclaimed Idea Man realized he could serve clients all over the world from Hamilton County.

MAKING A BETTER TOWN“Every community in the nation is looking for someone like a Brett Morrow,” said Paul Munoz, Cicero plan director for five years, where he’s worked with Morrow on the Economic Development Commission. “He’s not only interested in the business aspect but what he can do to make the community a better place to live.”

Getting a grocery in town was a high priority for Cicero residents for years. When Morrow brought new life and a new name to a small grocery on Jackson Street that had fallen into neglect, the community’s interest was piqued. When they tasted the meats and fresh foods Cicero Market stocked, they became loyal customers. In almost no time, Morrow moved the market into the larger, brighter, more inviting location on Ind. 19. “Cicero Market has the best meat counter in Hamilton County,” said Munoz, who frequently buys steaks, burgers and chops there. “The steaks are amazing cuts.”

Morrow’s 10 West has enjoyed similar almost-overnight success. Praise for the restaurant, however, is coming from far beyond the neighborhood.

In late April, 29 members of the 500 Festival board of directors drove their brand new pace cars into Cicero for an evening at 10 West. One of them had eaten here the previous weekend and was so impressed, he reserved the eatery’s Cellar for the party that kicked off their responsibilities in the month-long festival of half-marathons, parades, educational and service events, and princesses. At least one person had never even heard of Cicero but most left planning to come back.

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

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

WHAT’S NEXT?Morrow won’t elaborate but does acknowledge that he has a couple more ideas for the future. “Opening the restaurant was a major goal,” said the owner, whose favorite dish is the fish tacos. “I wanted a place to go, have a good meal, meet friends and not be a half-hour away.”

Crop-A-Doodle-Do, housed in his grandmother’s farmhouse on 266th Street and designed as a retreat for scrapbooking enthusiasts, is slated to become Maple Lane Inn and Pavilion. Scrappers will still find sanctuary there on weekends, though services will be more limited. Maple Lawn will be a site for weddings and overnights for wedding parties. The decades-old barn will become a wedding chapel.

“I’m focusing on what I’ve got,” said Morrow. Part of what he’s got and what he’s focusing on is his vision for Cicero.

While he defies the stereotype of an advertising executive—has anyone seen him wearing something other than neat, well-fitting jeans and a T-shirt?—he certainly sounds like one as he describes his hometown. “We’ve got one of the top McDonald’s in the country. The lake. We’re close to both sides of Indy. We’ve got a great little grocery and restaurants. We’re a great bedroom community for Indianapolis or entrepreneurs. There’s such opportunity here.”

Todd Thurston of Hare Chevrolet and Dianna Miller practice their routine for Dancing With Our Stars, an event to benefit Meals on

Wheels of Hamilton County. Thurston is raising at least $1,500 before the event and learning a two-minute Foxtrot routine.

STARS WITH OUR STARS to benefit MEALS ON WHEELS

Writer & Photographer / Krista Shields

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

The evening will feature a slate full of entertainment.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

entertainment from Circle City Dance Company, and an awards ceremony. Brandon Bennett of Noblesville Parks Department will emcee the event. The other dancers include: Amy Delucia of Allisonville Nursery, Jessica Rodgers of CVS Pharmacy, Betsy Russell (retired), Krieg Devault, and Julie Schnieder of St. Vincent Carmel Hospital, Alaina Shonkwiler of City of Noblesville, Jeff Warner of Katz, Sapper & Miller, Todd Thurston of Hare Chevrolet and Gary Fammartino of St. Vincent Fishers Hospital. The professional dancers include: Ed Godby-Schwab of the Dance Center, Rob Jenkins of Riolo Dance; Monica Lung of Riolo Dance, Diana Miller of The Dance Center, Xavier Medina (independent), Scott Shook of Starlight Ballroom, Yulia Shook of Starlight Ballroom, and Chris Williams of Riolo Dance.

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

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

Director of Meals on Wheels Beth Gehlhausen and longtime volunteer Chuck Layton practice their dance skills in preparation for the Dancing With Our Stars event on Sept. 4. The fundraiser will be held at the Ritz Charles of Carmel from 6-9 p.m.
