Congratulations to Helfrich family, as Monica, Class of 2004, and her husband Barry, welcome a new son into their family. Carter was born in August, 2012 and joins his brother Evan, 2, in the Helfrich famly.

Zack Martin, Class of 2009, and Nick Martin, Class of  2011, share more than memories of playing football at Bishop Chatard. During their careers at BCHS, they won a total of three Class 3A state titles. Now, they look forward to playing together in the biggest college game of the season, as Notre Dame plays Alabama in the BCS national title game in Miami on Jan. 7. Zack is starting  left tackle for the  Irish.  Nick has become an Irish ‘super-sub’, playing several sports along the offensive line.

What do teachers do during the summer? Newly-wed BCHS physics and math teacher, Andy Mundell, Class of 2003, and his wife Lindsey made memories, as they spent 36 days canoeing from Broad Ripple down the Mississippi to the salt water of the Gulf of Mexico. Nuvo magazine featured an article about this trip of a lifetime, the ups and downs of canoeing together as newly-weds and what they learned  about each other that will last a lifetime. Don’t miss reading the article here and sharing in their adventure!

Zach Martin, Class of 2009, a senior at Notre Dame, is widely regarded as the nation’s top offensive lineman. Martin is a force of nature at Left Tackle, and his commitment to perfection has led to unparalleled consistency. “He makes sure everything he does is perfect,” Irish center Braxston Cave said. “If he’s not, he does it again. You watch him on film, and it’s kind of the same thing over and over and over. He has his things down to an exact science, and he prides himself on that.”

Bishop Chatard is making its mark on Boilermaker Rowing. Since 2008, five Bishop Chatard alumni have participated in Purdue Crew in West Lafayette, Indiana. Alumni include Ben Wheatley ’08, Will Zander ’08, Rob Kuhlman ’08, Daniel Ford ’09 and Eddie Fischer ’10. Jim Deitchman ’79, a Bishop Chatard and Purdue alumnus, rowed for Purdue during his years there as well. The Purdue Crew Team is a consistent winner in regattas throughout the USA. Most recently, the team took home the Dad Vail Regatta team trophy in both 2011 and 2012. Ben Wheatley and Will Zander were named academic all-Americans by the American College Rowing Association. Will Zander served as team VP from 2010-2012 and won the 2011 Hovde Award for leadership, given to “the member who, thorough personal sacrifice, loyalty, and perseverance, upheld the honor and tradition of Purdue Crew.” Currently, Dan Ford serves as “rigger” for the men’s team. After serving as a spectator for many Purdue regattas, Will Zander’s brother Kevin, Class of 2010,  tried out for the Army crew team upon his arrival at West Point. He made the team and has rowed competitively throughout the east coast and New England. Kevin and Will Zander both rowed at the Dad Vail Regatta in 2011 and 2012 – although never in the same race against one another!
