from the publishersWelcome to our April issue of the Carmel Community Newsletter! Just saying the word April makes the world seem a bit brighter, dont you think?

We sat down this month with our brand new Congresswoman, Susan Brooks, and her husband, David, for our cover story. They graciously invited us into their Carmel home where we got to know them a little more personally. Youll learn what its like to move to Washington, D.C., and it does involve a UHaul and used furniture!

From DaVinci to Picasso and beyond, the nude body has been the subject of great art through the ages. Now, Susan Mauck, owner of the French Bleu Fine Art Gallery in Carmels Arts & Design District, hosts a monthly gathering of artists focused on drawing the nude human form, featuring live models. Well take a (tasteful) peek inside the private sessions.

Ray Compton continues his series Carmel Goes to War with a story about David Vesper who teaches and mentors at a private high school in Carmel when hes not guiding a military base in Afghanistan and negotiating with tribal war lords as a Lieutenant Colonel in the Indiana National Guard.

Now that Spring is here there are lots of things happening in Carmel and weve got them on our events calendar. And be sure to vote for your favorite Mom of the Year candidate at our website www.atCarmel.com.

dealing with dyslexiaAs a person who has dyslexia, I can share that it has affected my life in many subtle ways. As a child with what today has been identified as a mild level of dyslexia, there were many issues that were difficult for me in the learning process. I knew I was capable, but some simple tasks were overly complicated for reasons I did not understand at that time in my life, as the word dyslexia had not been entered into the diagnostic world of learning disabilities.

Math was hard and complicated. Transposing numbers and memorizing formulas was overwhelming. Studying another language was difficult, and sounding out unfamiliar words didnt work for me as, at that time, I didnt have the learning tools to work through the sounds and pronunciation necessary to master this task. If I heard it pronounced correctly, I had to memorize the sound and repeat it out loud over and over again. Although my grades were usually in the As and Bs, my timed test scores did not match my ability to show that I, indeed, knew the subject. It took me longer to whip through a 30-minute paper test than the other kids. I have to admit, in those early days before dyslexia had a name, I always felt that in certain subjects I simply could not compete with other kids. Years later, when the connection to this learning disorder was correctly diagnosed, a huge weight was lifted and the process of working through certain staggering elements of this disability was put in place.

Today, I know that at least 20% of the population has dyslexia. This means that at least one of your friends, family members, or coworkers is currently dealing with dyslexia and its challenges.

For almost a quarter of a century, the Dyslexia Institute of Indiana (DII) has existed to serve children, adolescents, and adults with specific learning disabilities. Beginning with the student at the center, DII serves elements of the community that touch the life of the student. DII provides skills, services, and strategies that enable individuals to attain their full potential by learning to manage the challenges of dyslexia and benefit from its advantages.

The term dyslexia refers to a cluster of systems that result in people having difficulty with specific language skills, particularly reading, spelling, written expression, and pronouncing words. Other problems experienced by individuals with dyslexia include:

Learning to speak Organizing written and spoken language Learning letters and their sounds Memorizing number facts Spelling Reading Learning a foreign language Correctly doing math operations

Its important to note that not all individuals who exhibit these systems are dyslexic. Formal testing is the only way to confirm a diagnosis of suspected dyslexia.

The following information serves as a guideline for recognizing systems that might be related to this learning disability. Signs of dyslexia in young, preschool children include talking later than expected, a slowness to add new words, difficulty rhyming, and trouble following multistep directions. After a child begins school, the signs of dyslexia include:

Difficulty reading single words, such as a word on a flashcard

Difficulty learning the connection between letters and sounds

Confusing small words, such as at and to Letter reversals, such as d for b Word reversals, such as tip for pit Inserting or deleting small words like not

Having one of these signs does not mean your child has dyslexia; many children reverse letters before the age of 7. But, if several signs exist and reading problems persist, or if you have a family history of dyslexia, you may want to have your child evaluated. The earlier a parent sees what might be a presenting problem with their childs learning ability, the better.

Many years ago when I was a child, I couldnt exactly explain why I had trouble with certain elements of learning. Today with the wonderful research and commitment of DII, children have the tools for learning and accomplishing tasks that were beyond my time. What a blessing this is! cg

Beyond academic success, DII promises each student the ability to minimize fear, develop confidence, and celebrate success. Dyslexia does not just affect performance in school or the workplace it can hinder self esteem, social skills, and

the ability to reach ones true potential.

This article was submitted by an anonymous student from the Dyslexia Institute of Indiana (DII).



DII Program DescriptionsWells Tutoring provides one-on-one multisensory instructional services to children and adults with dyslexia. Through this program, students increase their knowledge and understanding of phonics and spelling, improve their study skills, and most rewarding improve their ability to read independently. Testing is comprised of a complete educational evaluation consisting of a comprehensive battery of standardized tests and takes approximately 4 hours. Testing at DII helps individuals to understand their learning strengths and needs and is done by a Certi ed School Psychologist.

Camp Dela eld is a four-week summer reading and enrichment program for children ages 7-12. It combines a rigorous academic agenda with diverse arts and recreational activities to increase learning opportunities and strengthen organization and gross and ne motor skills. Using a whole-child approach, Camp Dela eld focuses on improving participants academic skills, self-esteem, and social skills.

Sam Foley Blends Virtual Golf with Real Instruction at Golf365| John Cinnamon

Its 9:00 a.m. and youre on the rst tee of the TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, the course thats home to the famous 17th-hole island green. The tree-lined fairway stretches out in front of you as you prepare for 18 holes of championship-quality golf. A few hours later, youre nishing up the par 5 18th hole at iconic Pebble Beach on the Monterey Peninsula in California, with the vista of the Paci c Ocean reaching to the horizon left of the green. Thirty-six holes on opposite coasts and youre still home in time for lunch in Carmel (Indiana, not California). How? Youre playing the ultra-realistic golf simulators at Golf365, a sprawling indoor practice, learning, and entertainment facility inside the Hamilton County Sports Complex.

Golf365 is the brainchild of Sam Foley, a native of Veedersburg, Indiana, and the states only PGA Tour-credentialed teaching pro. A 1983 graduate of Franklin College, Foley got his rst golf job at Valle Vista Golf Club in Greenwood, Indiana, right out of college. It didnt take long for him to realize that teaching golf was going to be his real passion. He appreciated the nearly-instant progress he could see in his students. When it comes to teaching, folks in other professions have to work on a project for months and months before it comes to fruition, says Foley. With golf instruction, your results are right there in front of you. But he also realized that if he was going to be a full-time teaching pro, it would mean moving somewhere warm where he could ply his trade 12 months a year. So it was off to Arizona.

After a brief stop in Sedona, Foley moved on to Scottsdale where he set up what would become a network of golf instruction academies. He set up operations in Denver, then Park City, Utah, Palm

Springs, and nally San Francisco. It was the early 1990s, and with the tech boom just starting to hit, Foley took advantage of things like high-speed video and motion-capture technology to enhance his teaching methods. To differentiate my brand of instruction from what else was out there, I got very involved in technology, says Foley. Being right there in Silicon Valley, I had access to the latest and greatest technology coming out.

Ultimately, his golf road led him back to Indiana where he helped open Heartland Crossing Golf Course in Camby in 1998-99. From there, he moved to Brickyard Crossing Golf Course at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, creating the Brickyard Crossing Golf Academy and becoming the courses rst full-time instructor from 2000 to 2009.

Around 2010, Foley decided to strike out on his own again and was aware of the then-defunct indoor golf facility in the Hamilton County Sports Complex. It had originally opened under a different brand, but was closed after little success. Foley saw the potential and re-branded it Golf365. After some minor structural adjustments, it re-opened on January 1, 2011.

The biggest draw at Golf365, of course, is the four golf simulators where you can play nearly 50 different PGA courses, from the aforementioned Pebble Beach and TPC Sawgrass to Kiawah Island and The Old Course at St. Andrews. But there are also other hitting bays designed speci cally for practice and instruction. A conference center is available for off-site business meetings and team building.

Foley explains that some of the traditional knocks on golf are that it costs too much, takes too much time, and you dont get the correct (or any) instruction. I think we have tapped into a model here that addresses all those things in a very powerful way, he says. You can play golf in less than an hour and also get great instruction, club- tting, tness, and even mental game training. Foley says, Were the only facility in the country that addresses all those aspects under one roof.

| Ray Compton

It is dif cult to believe there are persons who have undergone bigger culture transitions than those encountered by David Vesper.

On a Friday, he has been teaching physics or astronomy at a small, private high school nestled in Carmel. Then just a few nights later, Vesper is wearing a United States military uniform, overseeing a base of 10,000 American soldiers and meeting with tribal war lords in Afghanistan.

The 43-year-old has challenged and conquered these startling, different scenarios three different times during his 10 years as an administrator and teacher at University High School.

I love the military, and I love teaching, he said. I get to do both and until they kick me out, I want to do both.

Vesper holds numerous titles and roles in his dual life with University and the Indiana National Guard. With University, he serves as a teacher; assistant head; director of operations; and a mentor to six students. When with the Indiana National Guard, Vesper has risen to a lieutenant colonel; guided a military base in Afghanistan; and been embedded with Afghanistan police and soldiers during his 2012 tour.

Literally, Vesper left the University class room for the holidays in 2012 and journeyed to the mountains of

Afghanistan in early January. It was a long year of anxious waiting for his family at home in Fishers and his extended school family on 116th Street.

David is a constant reminder that you can do an extravagance of things, do all of them well, not take yourself too seriously, and be completely committed to the welfare and lives of the people you touch, said Chuck Webster, the head of University since the schools inception in 1998. He lives the life of a soldier, of an astrophysicist, and of a school leader with what seems like little effort and hardly any strain.

David thrives here at University and is highly effective. He is held in an incredibly high esteem by our students, parents, and teachers. He is an extraordinary teacher and leader.

The Vesper story began unfolding shortly after his graduation from North Central High School in 1983. While a student at Butler, he followed the footsteps of many Hoosiers. He went to the Indiana State Fair for a day of fun. But one of his stops at the State Fair put Vesper on a different route.

He paused at an Indiana National Guard booth, participated in an activity and became hooked on joining the service branch. I was 19 and was bored, Vesper remembered. I signed up.

Thirty years ago when Vesper joined the Indiana National Guard, Iraq and Afghanistan were only plots of land to most Americans, including those in the military. Most Guardsmen anticipated monthly weekend meetings, two weeks at a summer camp, and perhaps assisting in a stateside disaster. That has not been the case for Vesper. He and his battalion went to Afghanistan in 2004-05, were recalled for Iraq duty in 2008, and then again headed to Afghanistan January 2, 2012.

David always wants to assure everyone that he is not in harms way, but you know he is, said Webster, who brings in Vespers father, Nick, a former professor at Butler, to help teach physics and astronomy classes when his son is deployed. There are times when he is out in the open and in danger. I know he is in more risk than he tells everyone. When he gets back, there is a release of a lot of fear. You never are sure he will be back.

Indeed, Vesper downplays being thrust into dangerous confrontations, modestly saying he has not had to deal with extreme situations.

He also believes there have been victories in Afghanistan. Afghanistan is better now than it was seven years ago, said Vesper, who has seen mortar re from his base and

CArmel goEs tO waR Occasional Series about Carmel War Veterans



witnessed IED explosions. It is now its own country. It has an opportunity to become a normal, third-world country. But we will have to work with them.

However, there is that stark difference when Vesper returns to University, an extremely peaceful and pleasant Hamilton County four-year institution. Each student at University has a computer, and all are on target for a future college education. This is a really good school, he noted. Because we are a smaller school, the students are empowered. There is a good sense of community here.

The University community has risen many times for their dispatched leader. Students send letters and cards to Vesper; parents check on wife Laura and his three children; and the school holds an assembly upon his return.

His two worlds recently came together when Vesper used his military background to assist with his operations role at University. After the Sandy Hook tragedy in Connecticut, board members asked Vesper to review the schools security situation. Everybody trusts David, Webster said. We all recognize how he values the kids. He is an extraordinary leader and teacher. Kids leave his classes humming. I have no idea how he blends both his worlds together, but he does.

And the mixing of military and high school education will continue. Vesper is working toward a masters degree at the United States War College. This degree could lead to becoming a general. The soldier is embedded at University, where he curtails his military language to accommodate being a teacher, administrator, and mentor.

He hits the ground running when he gets back, Webster said. Our school is so proud of David Vesper.

MORE INFORMATION Ron Marburger, President & CEO, E.F. Marburger317-841-72509999 Allisonville Rd. [email protected]

The original E.F. Marburger & Son storefront at 1021 North Illinois Street in downtown Indianapolis.




| Neal G. Moore

In 1913 E.F. Marburger found himself seated at the lunch counter at a corner drugstore in downtown Indianapolis. The mid-day break

from his job in the ooring department at Blocks Department Store would prove fateful in ways young Eli could not have imagined. The druggist, familiar with Elis line of work, asked him to measure out a new ooring project for the store. Ever resourceful, Eli rolled up his sleeves and started calculating.

When he returned to Blocks, Elis manager was waiting. He asked my grandfather why he was late returning from lunch, remembered Ron Marburger, president and CEO of E.F. Marburger Fine Flooring in Fishers. Granddad described the customer service hed given the drugstore owner. What came next hit like a ton of bricks, continued Ron. The manager said, Mr. Marburger, Blocks is big enough that if anyone wants ooring, they will come to us. Youre red. Ron said his grandfather would later explain that while heading home that day, he realized there was a better way to market ooring: going beyond the store walls.

That was the path taken by the company patriarch, who opened an 800 sq. ft. ooring store at 1021 North Illinois Street, providing customer service whenever and wherever it was needed. A century later, E.F. Marburger is among Indianas premier ooring and home furnishings companies. I dont know where Id be today if my grandfather hadnt gotten red lets put it that way, Ron shared. It was devastating, but were German, and Germans have a way of toughening it out.

Step foot into the Marburger showroom on Allisonville Road and youre immediately surrounded by beauty from kitchen and bath concepts; to ceramic tile and granite counter tops; to carpeting and hardwood ooring store designers have created a shopping experience that is equal parts inspiring, and for some people, intimidating. Sometimes customers think that such high quality must carry a high price tag. Thats a misconception, said Marburger. We are very competitive with price because we do a lot of direct buying, and we know what the market will bear.

His advice? This is like an art gallery. Enjoy the experience and absorb the beauty. Just come in and look around theres no pressure. We want to help you see what can be done in your home without breaking the bank. I dont care if I dont sell a dime as long as visitors have a great shopping experience, declared Marburger.

Less than 40 companies in Indiana have reached the

100-years-in-business plateau. Two World Wars, the Great Depression, and the current depressed economic climate have taken their toll, especially on family-owned businesses. Those [dif cult circumstances] are great teachers; they help you manage tough times, Marburger explained. Bridging those gaps says something about our company and team.

Marburger said his business survived with an unwavering commitment to hard work, deep product knowledge, and great customer service. In our sales meetings, I say that we dont just want satis ed customers we want overjoyed customers. A clients minimum expectation is satisfaction and it should be. I want a customer that says, Wow, am I glad I shopped at Marburgers.

Rons face lights up most when talking about his two daughters and grand-daughter the fourth and fth generation of Marburgers now working in the business.

A Fresh Voice on Capitol Hill


april 2013 | atCarmel.com 17

You might say Susan Brooks is on a roll. First, she took on 6 men in a tough primary to succeed Congressman Dan Burton in the 5th district and beat them. Next, she easily won the general election and became the first Republican woman elected to Congress from Indiana in 50 years (along with Jackie Walorski in the 2nd district). Then right after being sworn into office she capped it all off by being chosen by the Speaker of the House to give the Republican response to President Obamas radio address. Not bad for a self-proclaimed political rookie. Since she is new to the scene, we thought it would be good to get to know her off the campaign trail and see how things are going a few months into her term. She graciously invited us into her Carmel home where we met with her and her husband of 27 years, David.

Susan Brooks has been surrounded by politics for decades. She was recruited by then Indianapolis mayor Steve Goldsmith to be deputy mayor. She was appointed by President George W. Bush to be US Attorney for the southern district of Indiana, where she served for 7 years. But she has never run for office or been much into politics herself. Not until she was approached to run for the seat being vacated by Burton and which has been hard fought for many election cycles even before Burton decided not to run again. Its a very Republican district so the primary is viewed as the biggest hurdle to jump. But she says she enjoyed the campaigning despite all the competition, I didnt think I would enjoy it as much as I did, but I did enjoy the campaigning and meeting all the people and traveling the district and getting to know people. And then I thought because Ive always been involved in the governing aspect of the public service I thought, well, I sure hope I like Congress as much as Ive enjoyed the campaign. So what about Congress? She says so far, so good, I am enjoying it, but it is a different level of enjoyment, a different kind of satisfaction. In the Executive Branch you get things done, and its harder to list what you are accomplishing in Congress.

The tough competition in the primary included some well known politicians who have run and even served before. She had some star power help in her campaign including New Jersey Governor Chris Christie who has been a friend of the Congresswomans since their days serving as US Attorneys. Susan believes that voters liked her experience which ranges from higher education, having spent several years at Ivy Tech; to her years as US attorney serving one month after 9/11. She has also been a small business owner and is the mother of two. But perhaps one of her biggest assets was the very fact that she hadnt run for office before, making hers a fresh voice. Her husband, who is also an attorney, puts it very succinctly, When you have the best product and you raise enough money to sell it with a good plan, it works.

David Brooks knows a lot about selling political candidates because hes been the politician in the family up to now. He was, himself, elected twice to the Indianapolis City County Council and has been involved in Marion County organizational politics for many years. In fact, at one time, he ran all the city council campaigns in Marion County for the Republican Party after deciding that his plain spoken personality was better suited to being behind the scenes. I tend to be a little less politically correct and a little more frank and I just made the decision that I enjoyed the behind the scenes stuff, organizational politics, running campaigns to some degree. So I didnt aspire to anything after the 80s, he says.

And then along came his wifes campaign of which he is extremely proud. Its been fun. Ive told people that its ironic that the coolest thing in politics that has happened to me after doing it for 30 years and coming home and she not really caring what I was talking about a lot of the time, so now the really pinnacle coolest thing that has happened in my political career is helping her get elected. Its really fun to watch her because shes getting so good at everything. Watching her grow so far and so quickly is really fun and very satisfying, says David.

But her election to Congress has changed their lives dramatically. They are now empty nesters, which Susan says helped her make the decision to run in the first place. Their daughter Jessica is 22 and graduated from Xavier College in Cincinnati the week that her mom won the primary. She played all four years on a soccer scholarship and graduated with a major in Communications and a minor in Business and is now working at a financial services company in Philadelphia. Their son, Conner, graduated from North Central and is now a freshman at Montana State where he is able to participate in the outdoor activities that he so enjoys. He was very involved in his mothers campaign; recruiting

students, working phone banks and the polls and getting other young people involved.

So with one child in Philadelphia and another in Montana and his wife in Washington, that left David home alone in Carmel with their dog, Scout, an 8 year old yellow lab; except for the fact that even Scout will be leaving home soon. During hunting season, Ill buy a goldfish. Our dog hunts with her (Susans) dad. He goes to northern Indiana and hunts for 3 months. It was not exactly the empty nester scene that I had imagined, David says with a bemused smile.

Susan and Davids decision for him not to move to Washington is not unusual since his life and career are here

and she says none of the male spouses of Congresswomen have moved to Washington. More and more members of Congress fly home for the weekend as Susan does. Shes usually home Friday through Monday and then one week a month in the district, which David says allows them to see more of each other than if he had moved with her. Part of the reason for more

congressional commuters is the high cost of living in the DC area. But I also think the electorate; the people, are very interested in you staying connectedrunning into you at church or the grocery or coffee shop, she says and adds I was at Eagle Creek Coffee Company this morning visiting with Judd Papa who is the new president of the town council there but when I came in I saw a girlfriend from high school and one of my walking partners that I wasnt expecting to see there. About Washington she says you can really get in a bubble there. The pace is so incredibly fast and so you are so focused on what you are doing there and all I have to learn, it is hard to keep up with what is going on here.

David remarks that their unusual schedule is working out okay. It actually allows me 3 or 4 days a week to get organized, to keep track of whats going on in finances and my law practice and business stuff that I do. Then shes back often enough thats actually working out well, he says. Susan adds that they had date night the night before at the Madison County Lincoln Day along with a few hundred other people and that Saturdays are usually full of district events and business, but Sundays are nothing. Usually on Sundays I make a big pot of soup that he then eats the whole week, says Susan with a smile. Soup on Sunday is a family tradition and now David has learned to cook it himself. She says almost teasingly that he has become more self sufficient but then affectionately adds that hes been awesome. They talk on the phone most every day and David has an app for her schedule which he found rather annoying at first because he was getting

Average peoples lives; you know people who work long hours at a frantic pace, take

public transportation to work, sleep in their daughters old

bed and have soup on Sunday.

an alert every 15 minutes about her next appointment.

The Congresswoman actually lives in Chinatown, choosing to rent a little studio apartment there instead of near the Hill. Most people stay on the Hill, but I just wanted to have a little bit of a break. And so Im in the Chinatown, Mt. Vernon Square area and I metro in, in the morning. I dont have a car there she says.

And shes living with her daughters hand-me-down college furniture to boot! We moved me out in a UHaul with some of my daughters college furniture because she just graduated and she had this big house with all this furniture. So I took her stuff. So Im in her bed that we bought her. And a bunch of girlfriends loaned me stuff like pots and pans. So I didnt have to buy much, says the Congresswoman.

David spent her rst ten days on Capitol Hill with her as she got settled in, something that is a long term proposition. Susan says theres so much to learn but its like being a real freshman. A freshman in college ; a freshman in high school. You know you are trying to learn your way around, get to votes on time, make sure you understand what you are voting on, and gure out who to seek out for advice. Luckily the Indiana delegation is very close, we meet and often talk among ourselves and the republicans get together and Ive even had breakfast with Congressman Carson because we split Indianapolis as a district.

She got most of the committee assignments that she wanted including Education and Workforce, Homeland Security and the Speaker asked her to be on the Ethics committee. Shes been touted as the new face of the Republican Party, something she calls humbling, adding I think and hope what it shows is that the party wants people with real world experiences who havent been career politicians talking about how what congress and the president are doing are affecting peoples lives.

Story & Photos | John Cinnamon

On any given day, you can walk past the French Bleu Fine Art Gallery on Main Street in Carmels Arts and Design District and gaze through the wide windows to see the paintings of gallery owner Susan Mauck. The soft pastel colors of her impressionistic images glow off the canvases as youre reminded of the works of Edgar Degas and Mary Cassatt, painters Mauck sites as two of her artistic influences. But on this night, the curtains in the windows are drawn. The glass in the front door is covered with an opaque plastic sheet. Even the transom glass is blocked to keep out the potentially prying eyes of residents on the upper floors of Sophia Square across the street. Why the need for such privacy? Because on this night, as happens about once a month at French Bleu, a small group of artists will gather for an evening of nude figure drawing with a live nude model.

Mauck refers to these casual, invitation-only gatherings as Wine and Poses. The wine part is because of the BYOB rule for the other artists. And the poses, well, thats self explanatory. These sessions started out with around 12 to 14 people, but that number became too cumbersome to accommodate comfortably in the gallery. Now, Mauck limits it to a more manageable five to seven. This time, joining

Mauck for the three hours of artistic creation are Beth Forst, Randall Scott Harden, Dale Kercheval, and Jerry Mannell. As they finish setting up their easels and preparing their media (charcoal, oil, watercolor, or some combination thereof), the evenings model, Bovary, walks out from the rear of the gallery and makes her way to the center of the room. Wearing only a black silk robe featuring an Asian motif, Bovary slips it off and drops it on a nearby chair as casually as you toss your jacket when you get home from work. Suddenly being in the presence of a nude woman is business as usual for this group of professional artists. For this writer, it was not nearly as titillating as expected. Actually, its the contrast of her jet-black hair cut Dutch Boy style and black eyebrows against her light skin that draws the most attention. That and the intricate, full-back tattoo a work of art in itself.

Mauck says live model nude drawing classes are fairly common in the Indianapolis area. Herron School of Art offers such classes as does the Indianapolis Art Center in Broad Ripple. However, shes not aware of any other events like hers in Carmel hers not being a class, per se, but rather a friendly get-together for camaraderie and to practice a craft that has been around for centuries. Drawing from live models goes back hundreds of years, says Mauck. Its really important to keep doing it. If you can draw the human figure and draw it well, you can draw just about anything.

Susan Mauck came by her love of art at a very early age. Growing up in the tiny town of Odon, Indiana, about 40 miles southwest of Bloomington, she says I was that little girl that the teacher always had make all the posters. Even the limited resources of a small-town school (no high school art teacher) didnt deter her from pursuing a fine art degree, which she got at Indiana University. She calls her style impressionistic with a contemporary edge and much prefers painting portraits and figures to the more mundane landscapes or still life. One of the pieces hanging in her gallery is of a young boy in early 20th century period clothing. She was commissioned to create it for the Booth Tarkington Decorators Show House a few years ago. The boy in the painting is her grandson, Gabriel, and the piece went on to win Best Portrait at the Hoosier Salon. That ones not for sale, Mauck says with a smile.

Although she teaches an oil class every Thursday and hosts what she calls Mentor Monday every other week where she mentors students as they do their own thing, Susan says her real bread and butter is doing commissioned work. Ranging in price from $900 to $9,000, Mauck will do individual portraits or family portraits. Shes especially fond of painting scenes of mothers with their children as if shes captured them in that intimate moment on a lazy

weekend morning and the kids have crawled into bed with Mom. She has even done nude portraits. Mauck likes to tell the story of a couple who came into her gallery one evening during a gallery walk. The husband spotted one of her nude gure works on display and said to his wife, That kind of looks like you. The couple joked a bit and Susan told them she could make that happen for real. The next day, the wife called the gallery and did, in fact, want her nude portrait painted as a surprise birthday gift for her husband the following week. She and Mauck quickly arranged the required posing sessions.

On the way to his birthday dinner a week later, the wife suggested they stop by the gallery where Mauck had the wifes new (nude) portrait on display. He went right to the one he had seen before, explains the still-giddy Mauck, remembering the excitement of that moment. And then he glanced across the gallery and saw her in the painting and just I get chills, he was so thrilled and she was thrilled. I think they really treasure that. It wasnt just about getting the painting, it was the whole experience.

Mauck also creates that same kind of experience for parents, particularly fathers who will have their childrens portraits done for Mothers Day or the mothers birthday, then bring the mother into the gallery to discover the portrait on display. Even though the cost of a commissioned painting is considerably more than the typical posed studio family photograph, Mauck contends that the painted piece captures the essence of the person at that moment in time and becomes a priceless heirloom cherished for generations to come.

Bovary, the nude model, moves gracefully from pose to pose every few minutes as the Wine and Poses artists quickly create what most would consider keepsake art from a blank page. Susan Mauck, Randall Scott Harden, and Jerry Mannell use mostly charcoal or black pencil. Beth Forst chooses a burgundy oil, while Dale Kercheval goes multimedia, using everything in his arsenal from pencil to watercolor. Mauck says most of the other gallery owners in

the district are aware of what goes on behind the curtains every month at French Bleu, which has been open for about two-and-a-half years, and obviously have no problem with it. It is,

after all, an art form as old as time. But what about the Carmel residents in the area? Has she received any negative feedback from them? I dont think they even know about it, says Mauck with a mischievous glint in her eye. I guess Ill nd out when they read this story.

Artistic Vision Creates a

Peaceful Place| Stephanie Carlson Curtis

Creative vision and butterflies are transforming a dull, useless space to a peaceful place to explore, study, create, and contemplate. Like the butterfly emerging from its cocoon, the ArtsGarden concept breathes new life into a desolate courtyard just outside the windows of the first floor art rooms in the Freshman Center at Carmel High School.

For the past 5 years, Ive looked out the window and dreamed about what we could use that space for, said Jennifer Bubp, chairman of the art department. I wondered about the purpose of the space. No one knows that the courtyard is there. Bubp envisioned an ArtsGarden to serve as a tranquil outdoor classroom filled with perennials, artwork, furnishings, and sculptures.

Inspired by the National Art Ed Convention she attended in New York City, Bubp was able to put her dreams into action. She was especially interested in the workshops focusing on collaboration and creating outdoor spaces. Her first partners, Doreen

Squire Ficara, Donna Tutwiler, Joyce Burrell, and Kathleen ONeill Stevens of the Carmel Arts Council, raised money to fund her trip. I have to give them credit for jumpstarting this project, said Bubp. Since then, collaboration has blossomed as several colleagues at Carmel High School planted seeds of support.

Physics teacher Jeremy Stacy, owner of J. Stacy Landscaping, LLC, wanted to donate to help keep the cost down. CHS is like my second home, so it is a no brainer to help, said Stacy. We will be supplying all the plant material and labor free of charge to complete the landscaping part of the project.

Students in construction processes classes are going to build a table. Basically they will be building a form and pouring a special concrete mixture into it, said John Coughlan, Department Chair of Industrial Arts. When it dries we pull the forms, grind and seal the surface. It will result in a durable exterior grade table.

Community support covered the $2,000 cost of phase one which was completed last October. Phase two is underway, and Bubp estimates that it will take about $8,000 to implement the plan which features the table, a pergola created by a CHS graduate earning a masters degree in architectural planning, bird baths fabricated by ceramics students, a bird apartment complex donated by the Arts and Design District and hand painted by CHS artists, as well as an

herb garden planted by the Family Consumer Sciences culinary classes.

We thought it would be nice to incorporate the butterfly as a natural element, said Bubp. What we didnt realize is it has become the central theme. Contributing to the motif, the biology department released larva so the courtyard will have live butterflies this spring, the counseling department has purchased resin butterfly ornaments to hang on courtyard trees in memory of lost loved ones, and Carmel welder Clyde Pennington has offered to create larger-than-life stainless steel butterfly sculptures.

People are coming to the project. They see the need for this type of space, said Bubp. This project has become so much bigger than I ever thought it could be. Its a divine calling that has brought people together.

We are so proud of the work done by our students, said John Williams, principal of Carmel High School. We appreciate the efforts of the staff of our art department to coordinate this.

I feel like this project was put on my heart years ago, said Bubp. Where in this building can students go to grieve, to heal, or to find peace and quiet. For our special needs students, where can they go to enjoy nature? Like the metamorphosis of a butterfly, a dream has inspired a beautiful place within the walls of an active high school where students and staff can get away from the noise and be still for a few moments.

| From the archives of the Carmel Clay Historical SocietyRemember the Carmel Carnegie Library? It was built in 1913 and was donated by Andrew Carnegie himself. It was open until 1972 and now has a whole new life as a popular restaurant and bar.

Lots of people have memories of the old library. Cathie Osler Reamer says, This also used to be Carmel City Hall. My of ce, as the mayors assistant, was right inside the doors to the left. Janes of ce

was where the kitchen is now. When I go there now for lunch, I try to sit at the table exactly where my desk was. Its fun to take friends in there for lunch and tell them all the stories I remember.

Cindy Hinshaw Weir remembers, My favorite place in the world! I loved riding my bike to the library, picking out a good Nancy Drew book, and riding home. Also went to vacation Bible School there during the summer.

And Amy Huffer Perryman reminisces: I

remember riding my bike to the library!!!! Its surreal going in the basement bar - It feels like Im going to the childrens section.

Got a memory of Carmel that youd like to share? You can weigh in on old Carmel sites by going to the Carmel Clay Historical Societys Facebook page to post your memories. You can also purchase the Historical Societys deck of cards and help support the organization. Each card features a well-known landmark from Carmel of yesteryear.
