Take Time to Explore

Dear Reader,

The spirit of exploration has energized generations before us and will continue to inspire generations after us. However, today, we live in an age focused to a fault on efficiency and productivity. I admit I fall into that trap sometimes, too—the trap of wanting an exact calculation of the time, effort and investment an activity will cost me. But the truth is, we must leave some room for exploring, for visiting new places and trying new foods, for being a beginner and even for getting lost. It is those times where we make connections, foster friendships and build trust.

Travel is one of the best ways to find a time and place for exploration. International travel, particularly, adds a layer of adventure, as I found on a recent trip to Paris where I reconnected with friends.

But  exploring doesn't just take place far away. Adventure can be found in shutting down screens and playing a new board game or simply walking a local trail you've never walked before or visiting a restaurant in a different part of town. In this issue, we not only cover my girls' trip to Paris, we also give you a glimpse into The Pete Dye Golf Trail right here in Indiana. We even explore that sometimes chaotic space right behind your closet door and how you can make it a peaceful oasis where everything fits in its place.

Our hope is that this issue prompts you to prioritize time away from the regular schedule of life, to lose yourself in a book or to book a trip you’ve been dreaming about. We encourage you to make time for what matters most but often comes last on the calendar. Have fun as you explore!

One last detail I would be remiss not to mention is that there was a mistake in our June 2024 issue on page 24. In our final phase of editorial review, a segment about Carmel Parks & Recreation Director Michael Klitzing was inadvertently replaced with placeholder text, basically English words that make no sense when read together. We sincerely apologize for this oversight and the ensuing confusion. Please see the correction at the end of our Business Monthly section in this issue.

Correction from the June 2024 Issue

Please accept our apologies for the misprinted text on page 24 of the June 2024 issue. In 1996, Sandra Klitzing helped Champaign-Urbana Special Recreation accept the National Gold Medal Award for Excellence in the Field of Park and Recreation Management. Now her son has helped Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation garner the same award twice in the last 10 years.

“As a second-generation park and recreation professional, I’m proud to follow in the footsteps of my mother,” Klitzing says. “I witnessed her agency win the National Gold Medal Award, the highest honor in parks. I’m honored to continue the family tradition, helping lead CCPR to this award in 2014 and 2020.” Want

PARIS WITH FRIENDS

ARTICLE BY ANDREA KULSRUD PHOTOGRAPHY BY PIERRE SATTIN

CELEBRATING FRIENDSHIPS OF A LIFETIME IN THE CITY OF LIGHTS

Audrey Hepburn once said, “Paris is always a good idea.”

I heartily agree. So when presented with the idea of a trip to Paris, France, with three lifelong friends from Oklahoma, I jumped at the opportunity.

Mary Anne Conley, Lauren Houston, Rania Nasreddine and I have been friends for over a decade and have been through the highs and lows of life—law school, marriage, children and everything in between. Because we are all mothers to children five years and younger, carving out quality time together has been challenging, to say the least. So, we left our husbands in charge of the kids and spent five days together in Paris! We even serendipitously kept running into another group of women from Carmel and Indianapolis who had made the same decision.

TRAVEL JOURNAL

Our first stop was the Musée Rodin which opened in 1919 and where the awe-inspiring art of Auguste Rodin, one of the world’s greatest sculptors, fills the Hotel Biron and one of the loveliest gardens in Paris.

The second day of the trip started with hair and makeup appointments to get ready for a photo shoot Lauren and Rania arranged for the four of us as a surprise. Local photographer Pierre Sattin gave us a mini tour of Paris as he snapped photos and kept us laughing.

One evening, we attended a classical concert at Sainte-Chapelle, a Gothic cathedral built by Louis IX in the 13th Century. The stunning architecture and breathtaking stained glass provided the perfect setting to hear world-class musicians. The whole experience moved us to tears.

We ended our trip by visiting Montmartre, the highest point in Paris, crowned by the Basilica of the Sacred Heart. We strolled the charming flower-lined streets that were once home to the studios of artists like Monet and Renoir. We talked to local artists who still flock to the district. We also explored cafes, perfumeries and pharmacies offering the best French skincare with expert advice.

A TASTE OF PARIS

Of course, no trip to Paris would be complete without sampling the culinary arts. We enjoyed a multi-course tasting menu at the hard-to-get-into Septime . We tasted perhaps the best steak in Paris at Beefbar , which features a stunning Art Nouveau atrium. We had high tea at Le Meurice,  a Salvador Dalithemed tea room, to sample Chef Cedric Grolet’s famous pastry creations that look like real fruit. We all agreed that the most delicious meal of the trip was at two Michelin star L’oiseau , which sits atop the Peninsula Hotel with a spectacular view of the Eiffel Tower.

If you are thinking about a trip abroad, Paris is a spectacular destination.

From Carmel With Love

Deb Slack

Before the trip, we decided that we would each plan a special surprise for the others—a gift or experience while abroad. Wanting to find a way to bring a piece of Carmel to Paris, I commissioned Deb Slack, one of the owners of Carmel Art on Main Gallery & Gifts, to create four small paintings. As is often her practice, she painted two samples from which I could choose, one echoing the work of famed French artist Claude Monet and the other of the Eiffel Tower amidst spring blossoms. I chose the Eiffel Tower. Now each of us has a piece of custom artwork to hang in our homes to remind us of our treasured trip.

Fore! More Than

THE SEVEN UNIQUE COURSES OF THE PETE DYE GOLF TRAIL IN INDIANA REPRESENT A LIFETIME OF VISIONARY ACHIEVEMENT, STARTING FROM WHERE THE LEGACY BEGAN.

The Dye name is synonymous with golf courses worldwide—courses like TPC Sawgrass: Stadium in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., and Whistling Straits in Sheboygan, Wis. Together and separately, Pete and Alice Dye are credited with designing some 200 courses across more than 25 states and internationally from China to Curacao.

Amateur golf champions in their own rights, both Pete and Alice have been inducted into the Indiana Hall of Fame. Alice received the prestigious PGA First Lady of Golf Award in 2004, and Pete earned the World Golf Hall of Fame Lifetime Achievement Award in 2008.

But the couple got their start building courses right here in central Indiana—in Carmel, some might say; and our state claims more Dye-designed courses than anywhere else in the world.

In 1960, newly established Dye Designs created its first 18-hole golf course, known today as Maple Creek Golf and Country Club.

Following a trip to Scotland in 1963, Pete and Alice came home with renewed passion and unlimited ideas for recreating strip bunkers, sand and grass pot bunkers, mounds and blind spots. Beginning in 1964, their first course with this inspiration would be the renowned Crooked Stick Golf Club. With a limited membership, Crooked Stick isn’t open to the public, but the statue of Pete and Alice on the grounds stands as a monument to the couple’s influence in Central Indiana and beyond.

The selection of courses on The Pete Dye Golf Trail in Indiana showcases an incredible collection of challenging golf experiences.

Maple Creek Golf and Country Club—“Step back 50 years and see how the game’s greatest architect got his start.” The Dyes’ first 18-hole course, known originally as Heather Hills, features narrow fairways, a creek that winds its way through multiple bunkers, tall natural grasses and a mixture of small and mature trees.  10501 E. 21st Street, Indianapolis

Brickyard Crossing—In “The Brickyard,” Dye not only used characteristic railroad ties, he ingeniously incorporated large slabs of concrete from the racetrack walls that were torn down and replaced. With four holes inside the legendary Indianapolis Motor Speedway, this is one of only a few venues in the country to host PGA, LPGA and Champions tour events.  4400 W. 16th Street, Indianapolis

The Fort Golf Resort—Once bustling with soldiers during the world wars, Fort Harrison State Park now welcomes hikers, bikers and golfers. Unusually hilly for central Indiana, rolling terrain and soaring vistas of the 238 natural acres often place “The Fort” in the top ten courses in the state. The Fort also offers on-site lodging. 6002 N. Post Road, Indianapolis

Tippecanoe Country Club—Bordered by Lake Shafer in Monticello, Roy Robertson designed the original nine holes in 1920. Dye designed the back nine as one of his early projects in 1963. Today, it is enjoyed for its impressive 6,870 yards of meticulously groomed grounds and demanding holes.  3267 NW Shafer Drive, Monticello

“Every time you build a golf course, it’s not a golf course when you get there. You have to improvise.” - Pete Dye

Ackerman-Allen Course—Originally known as Purdue South, this course was built in 1934 by Bill Diddel. In 1961, the course hosted the NCAA Championship, with Purdue named team champion and Jack Nicklaus the individual winner. Dye led the most recent course redesign incorporating large bent-grass greens and rolling hills in a Parklandstyle championship course which reopened in 2016. Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex at Purdue University, 1300 Cherry Lane, West Lafayette

Kampen-Cosler Course—The wetland areas, innovative drainage and irrigation of this course illustrate Dye’s environmentally-friendly designs. Not only does the course double as a “living laboratory” for Purdue’s turfgrass research and environmental studies, but it ranks as one of the top collegiate courses in the nation and one of the more difficult courses in Indiana. Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex at Purdue University, 1300 Cherry Lane, West Lafayette

The Pete Dye Course at French Lick—Conceived as a sketch by Dye on a napkin, this multi-award-winning hilltop course built on the highest point in Indiana provides breathtaking panoramic views of the Hoosier National Forest. It has been named National Course of the Year by the National Golf Course Owners Association. French Lick, which dates back to the early 1800s as a luxury resort, recently underwent a $500 million restoration and expansion. 8670 West IN-56, French Lick CONTINUED >

“The ardent golfer would play Mount Everest if somebody put a flagstick on top.” - Pete Dye

The Pete and Alice Dye Golf Experience

It only seems appropriate to conclude with the last course the Dyes designed, their first and only mini-golf course, presented by Henry and Christine Camferdam as part of the Riley Children's Health Sports Legends Experience at The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, where family members of any age can take their best shot.

With four, nine-hole mini-golf courses, there is a fit for players of every age and skill level. The two courses designed by Pete and Alice feature models of some of the Dyes’ most famous holes from around the world, including hole #11 at the Pete Dye Course at French Lick. An introductory course modeled after the Dyes’ designs is just right for new golfers to putt without frustration, and the littlest players can still sink a shot on the toddler course. As they play, mini-golfers can learn about the history of the Dyes’ extraordinary impact on Indiana and on golf worldwide.

Alice Dye passed away in 2019 and Pete followed his wife less than a year later in 2020, but their legacy lives on for future generations.

The Riley Children’s Health Sports Legends Experience is included with general admission or membership to The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, and the museum provides all equipment. Advanced tickets are encouraged and are discounted up to two weeks in advance; however, outdoor area availability is dependent on weather.

The Children's Museum of Indianapolis is located at 3000 N. Meridian Street, Indianapolis. For more information, visit childrensmuseum.org

EXPLORE ORGANIZATIONAL SYSTEMS THAT PUT WHAT YOU NEED RIGHT AT YOUR FINGERTIPS

If you’re anything like me, the more hectic my life has become with jobs, kids and activities, the less my closet looks like an organized oasis, and the more it looks like a jungle of clothes and shoes. That’s why I need the help of professionals like Holly Lewis, design consultant with The Tailored Closet of Indy, and Rachel Davis, owner of Big and Small Spaces Professional Organizing.

“My goal is to bring harmony and organization by optimizing spaces, enhancing functionality and elevating the appearance of your home,” Lewis says. “We tailor solutions to your specific needs and preferences to ensure your living environment is a seamless extension of your lifestyle.”

At The Tailored Closet, all projects start with a complimentary design consultation of around 60-minutes where an expert helps you take inventory and consider style, aesthetic, budget and what’s most important in the space.

“It’s a streamlined and easy process,” Lewis says. “I create a 3D design with the client at their kitchen table. It’s collaborative and fun, and they can see their selections come to life in real time.”

Although the classic white finish is a client favorite in many closets Lewis designs, The Tailored Closet also carries a wide variety of wood grain finishes, like the dark tones featured here in this new home build-in collaboration with interior designer Joey Kempler.

"Color is definitely back,” Lewis says. “We have green and blue finishes along with custom colors that people are choosing for laundry rooms, mud rooms, office spaces and butler’s pantries as well as closets.”

Yes, butler’s pantries are making a comeback, as are wet and dry bars.

Lewis says another trend in closets is lighting.

“When you add lighting, it elevates the space and creates an upscale ambiance,” she says. “Transforming your closet into your own personal boutique gives you the feeling of walking into your favorite store every day.”

And for hardware, Lewis says gold is shining again, only it’s a muted matte gold tone adding a luxurious touch.

“The hardware and accessories are the bells and whistles that really bring a design together aesthetically as well as adding function as we maximize the space,” Lewis says.

“My goal is to bring harmony and organization by optimizing spaces, enhancing functionality and elevating the appearance of your home.”

And, if Lewis is an expert at creating a place for everything, Davis is an expert at putting everything in its place.

“I really try to meet people where they’re at and create a system that is realistic and attainable for them,” Davis says. “My favorite part is that when you get ready to pick up you’ve already gone through the process of finding a home for every item. This reduces the time it takes to tidy up and eliminates the beginning stages of clutter corners.”

For Davis, getting started on decluttering and organizing is as easy as one, two, three.

Step 1. Using bags, boxes or bins for sorting, create four zones: donate, trash, keep and relocate. (The “relocate” zone is for items you want to keep, just not in the current space.)

“There is a big difference between cleaning and organizing,” Davis says. “When people are trying to declutter and organize themselves, they tend to create miscellaneous or ‘I don’t know yet’ piles. With my process, I eliminate these types of piles by helping my clients assess each item so that the space stays well kept and most of all, makes sense."

Step 2 . Begin pulling items out of the closet, pantry or space you want to declutter and reorganize and sort them into one of the four zones. Keep going until that space is clear.

Davis warns against skipping any drawer or cabinet. She once had a client who was certain she knew what was stored in a piece of furniture, yet when Davis insisted on pulling out every item, they rediscovered a stack of precious photo albums the client thought had been lost in her most recent move.

Step 3. Immediately take out trash, move donation items to your car and find a home for the items you intend to keep or relocate to another space.

“Donating is very important to me,” Davis says. “It allows me to bless others while blessing myself with a clutter-free and peaceful home. If you don’t wear it or use it often, chances are someone else would—someone who may not otherwise have been able to afford it. So when the opportunity arises, donate generously.”

In fact, Davis has written a children’s book entitled  Cameron’s Clutter, which teaches young ones about donating their toys in order to help others and demonstrates that downsizing can be practiced at any age. Find it on Amazon.

“Donating allows me to bless others while blessing myself with a clutter free and peaceful home.”

The Island of Missing Trees

BY ELIF SHAFAIT

It is 1974 on the island of Cyprus. Two teenagers, from opposite sides of a divided land, meet at a tavern in the city they both call home. The tavern is the only place that Kostas, who is Greek and Christian, and Defne, who is Turkish and Muslim, can meet, in secret, hidden beneath the blackened beams from which hang garlands of garlic, chili peppers and wild herbs. This is where one can find the best food in town, the best music, the best wine. But there is something else to the place: it makes one forget, even if for just a few hours, the world outside and its immoderate sorrows.

Just before the Second World War the Durrell family decamped to the glorious, sun-soaked island of Corfu, where the youngest of the four children, ten-year-old Gerald, discovered his passion for animals: toads and tortoises, bats and butterflies, scorpions and octopuses. Through glorious silver-green olive groves and across brilliant-white beaches Gerry pursued his obsession . . . causing hilarity and mayhem in his ever-tolerant family.
