THROUGH THE LENS: LLOYD RILEY EXHIBITION ADDS PHOTO CONTEST

alling all Zionsville residents—you have a chance to be part of Zionsville’s history, to be part of a brand-new exhibit and to win a $100 gift certificate to a local restaurant!

Final submissions due by October 12, 2019. “Through the Lens: Lloyd Riley, Photojournalist” will open just a little less than a year from now at the SullivanMunce Cultural Center and will remain on exhibit until February 22, 2020. Visitors to the exhibit will see life in Zionsville throughout the 1950s, ’60s and early ’70s. Submit your photos of “life in Zionsville” and automatically be entered to win “Photo of the Month.”

THIS MONTH’S WINNER:

Cyndy Reynolds

As pictured, Reynolds shared images of her home in the village on North Third Street. “Our home is 150 years old, built by Mr. Bragg who served in the Civil War,” Reynolds shared. “He helped build the original Boone County courthouse in Lebanon, and we’ve done what we can to preserve the original brick.” Many of Riley’s images captured life and homes about town. Some of the homes he photographed are no longer standing and have made way for existing homes that are creating memories for the decades to come. If the walls could only talk … they’d share some incredible conversations and meaningful stories about life in our town.

PRESERVING ZIONSVILLE MEMORIES SPONSORED BY GRAND BROOK MEMORY CARE CONTEST Grand Brook Memory Care, a family-owned and operated memory care community that has recently opened in Zionsville, has graciously agreed to sponsor a contest where each month a photo submitted to the SullivanMunce will be chosen as the Preserving Zionsville Memories Sponsored by Grand Brook Memory Care photo of the month. Each month prior to the Lloyd Riley Exhibition, the person submitting the winning photo will receive a $100 gift certificate to a local restaurant. So, start submitting your photos now to be entered to win the award. Winners will be recognized each month in Zionsville Monthly.

26 COVER STORY

Dr. Robert Einterz: A Man with a Global Vision and a Heart for Collaborative Medicine The subject of this month’s cover story, Dr. Robert Einterz, is another example of a Zionsville resident doing remarkable things to make our world better. Einterz and his team at AMPATH have for the past twenty years worked to improve the healthcare of the people of Kenya and thereby improving their lives. Einterz tells how his feeling of obligation to help those less fortunate in the world, for which he “blames” his faith and his parents, have resulted in substantial sacrifices by he and his family that also provided an immense richness to their lives.

the Best of the

Writer // Janelle Morrison • Photography // Laura Arick

You are cordially invited to dig out your closets and hope chests and find your best—or worst—1980s apparel and accessories and join your local merchants for a totally tubular blast from the past! Bring on the “state fair hair” constructed with your favorite ozone-burning hair spray or dust off those crimpers and peg roll those jeans—we’re going to strike a pose on Main Street and support local to the max!

he six bodacious ladies who have organized this awesome trip down amnesia lane are Zionsville’s own Erica Carpenter, Lesley Hunt, Liz Esra, Allyson Gutwein, Angie McCloskey and Julie Wooldridge. “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” will be held Thursday, October 3, at 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. in downtown Zionsville, where 20plus retailers and restaurants will be having special deals and incentives throughout the night in honor of one of the most diverse decades in American history.

While fashion and pop culture are as fickle as “Dynasty’s” off-screen relationships, one truth has remained constant over the decades—the nation’s small businesses are the backbone of the American economy. These six merchants have pulled their resources and imaginations to create a fun-filled evening that promotes supporting local while evoking a sense of community and creativity among residents. All attendees are highly encouraged to come dressed in their own interpre-

tations of the ’80s, and as the evening winds down on Main Street, prizes will be given. A special prize for “Best Dressed” will be awarded to the most radical costume, judged by a small panel of local residents that will include Sherman Burdette of Fox 59 WXIN Indianapolis and Janelle Morrison of Carmel Monthly and Zionsville Monthly. Pumping up the jams in the check-in tent on Main and Pine streets will be local on-air personality Chris Wooldridge— Julie’s husband— with Hank FM and B105.7 FM, spinning the tunes of your favorite hair bands, new wave, synth-pop or classic rock artists that will take you back to when high-speed dubbing and Sony Walkmans were cool. The collaborating merchants shared what hosting this event means to them and what they hope the public takes away from it. “‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun’ is about people coming out and having fun, but it is also about people coming and supporting not only our [respective] business but our neighboring businesses as well,” Allyson Gutwein, manager at Midwest Jewelers and Estate Buyers, said. “When one small business supports another, it helps everybody.” Lesley Jane’s owner, Lesley Hunt, credited Erica Carpenter for bringing the idea to Main Street. “Erica had this idea, and I thought this was the coolest thing ever,” Hunt exclaimed. “There is something really wonderful about being able to create a promotion that not only supports the businesses but engages the whole community. The most remarkable part about this promotion is that it really is a grassroot effort that we—the merchants—are doing ourselves, and that is a testament to the nature of our business community.” Giving credit to another Zionsville merchant, fivethirty home’s owner Erica Carpenter said she was inspired by Judy Revis with Boutique 33 and her stories about “Diva Night” in Noblesville when Revis had her storefront there. “I want to thank Judy [Revis] because she gave us a lot of history to work from,”

Carpenter said. “We took that and modified the idea to what we wanted to do, and the ’80s theme just came to us. I’m excited to see what each business is going to do and how the people who attend are doing to dress up. We will have a photobooth so groups can take pictures. It’s going to be fun to see what people come up with.” Regarding her fellow committee members, Carpenter said, “We each bring our different strengths and are willing to do fun things. I’m calling this the inaugural ‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun’ because I hope that we will do this event for years to come.” The owners of Cobblestone are known community supporters and have hosted and co-hosted several events that benefit the community, so it came as no surprise that Liz Esra was all in. “I thought the idea was amazing and is going to be a lot of fun,” Esra said. “Anytime a new event comes around that can spark interest with people

and bring them downtown to remind them of all that Zionsville has to offer, it is a great opportunity for everybody. It is wonderful to work together [as businesses] and support each other in that manner.” The new kids on the block—pun intended— Angie McCloskey and Julie Wooldridge with Zionsville Oil Tap are looking forward to introducing people who have not frequented their storefront yet to the incredible products and customer experience they offer. “I look at this [event] as a front porch type of event,” McCloskey said. “I love sitting on front porches and getting to know my neighbors. I love downtown Zionsville, and I love the fact that we’re getting out on our ‘front porches’ and inviting people to come into our shops so they can get to know us, see what we have to offer and see that we are a lot of fun!” Wooldridge added, “For us, it’s an opportunity for people to get to know

us and realize that we are here. Getting our name out and helping with events like ‘Meet the Merchants’ and ‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun’ is good for not only us but all of the businesses. It is also a great way to get people out here and see what’s here in the village of Zionsville.” Mark your calendars and don’t miss the most radical ’80s party this town has ever seen!

OVER 50 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE Bath Experts is a new company, but you can trust that they know what they’re doing. Their team offers more than 50 years of combined home improvement experience in Indianapolis and the surrounding areas, including Zionsville, Carmel and the surrounding area. Co-owner Steve Woodward said, “As a team, we’ve been doing this for a really long time, and we’re super passionate about what we do.”

Bath Experts

INTRODUCES TUB/SHOWER RENOVATIONS IN INDIANAPOLIS IN AS LITTLE AS ONE DAY

LONG-LASTING TUBS WITH CUSTOMIZABLE OPTIONS TO MEET YOUR CHANGING NEEDS AND PERSONAL STYLE

Writer // Cris Trautner • Photography // Bridgette Buntin

Are you ready to transform your outdated, worse-for-wear bathroom into the luxurious, spa-like haven you’ve always dreamed of having? Then you need to call on Indianapolis’s Bath Experts, a dealer for BathWraps, a company owned by Jacuzzi.

TRUE BATHROOM RENOVATION WITH FUNCTIONAL IMPROVEMENTS

ath Experts specializes in bathroom renovations including tub-to-shower conversions, tub replacement, and the installation of walk-in tubs. Bath Experts will do a true remodel of your bathroom that “goes down the studs,” as co-owner Steve Woodward says. This type of bath restoration is not like what other companies do—or as intrepid homeowners attempt—where you install the inexpensive liners you can get at Home Improvement Stores on your bathroom walls. As needed, they replace drywall to turn your tub or shower area into a space

Bath Experts’ tubs and showers are made from nonporous acrylic that resists cracking, chipping and staining, so you can expect them to look good for years to come. The tubs and showers are also infused with an antimicrobial agent that resists mold and mildew growth, making them easier to maintain than your old tub or shower. All you need to do to clean them is to wipe them down with a soft cloth and nonabrasive cleaner. In addition to the many color selections, you can add optional features, such as built-in shelves to store soaps, shampoos and bathing accessories, seating, grab bars and a low threshold to make it easier to get in and out.

that goes beyond just getting clean—it becomes a place where you can relax and unwind. Woodward added, “Part of the value of what we do too is that [homeowners] are getting a new system [for their bathrooms], and it’s done right.”

AFFORDABLE TUB & SHOWER CONVERSIONS FOR THOSE WITH REDUCED MOBILITY If you or a loved one struggle with mobility challenges, a Jacuzzi walk-in tub will help. Bath Experts offers the Jacuzzi Luxury Bath so you can now enjoy the true Jacuzzi® Hydrotherapy experience, with a variety of safety features and their legendary jet technology. Bath Experts’ walk-in tubs are 100% leak proof, increasing

name brands BathWraps and Jacuzzi, including bathtubs, showers and walk-in tubs. Their products are backed by comprehensive lifetime manufacturer warranties that last as long as you own your home. They also offer financing. “We’ve got some pretty strong financing options,” said Worzala. “[Homeowners] can do a one-year, a five-year or a 10-year financing option. And we try to make the project as affordable as we can for them.” An additional value that the Bath Experts team offers is in their exceptional service and speed of installation.

SPEEDY COMPLETION When you call Bath Experts, you can have a new shower, bathtub or walk-in tub in approximately two weeks, with the actual work completed in as little as one to two days. There’s no need to wait what seems like forever to use your bathroom again—or to enjoy using your new shower or tub.

Technology Interiors THE EXPERTS AT SMART HOME AUTOMATION Writer // Janelle Morrison • Photography // Laura Arick

Who are the local experts in smart home automation technology? Fishers-based Technology Interiors is one of the nation’s top 100 companies for integration.

ick Goren, owner of Technology Interiors, and his team have specialized in the integration of home theaters, smart home automation, home networking, home security and commercial applications since 1998. Goren and his team are recognized by Angie’s List and have the highest rating on Google out of all audio/video companies currently listed. Technology Interiors designs top-quality home theater audio and video systems, surround sound systems and more, all professionally installed at the most reasonable rate in town. Technology Interiors’ certified installers provide

THE TECHNOLOGY INTERIORS DIFFERENCE

optimal solutions and service that its customers can count on. With 100 years of combined experience, the team at Technology Interiors provides its customers the comfort and convenience of smart home automation with award-winning service. They install home theaters, security systems, automated lighting, automated HV/AC and many other applications, all of which are smartphone controlled. Its satisfied customers include homeowners, builders and businesses in the Indianapolis, Fishers, Carmel, Geist, Noblesville, Zionsville, Westfield and Greenwood, Indiana areas.

Goren explained what differentiates his company from others in the industry and why homeowners should consider working with a certified and experienced brick-and-mortar store versus a big-box store or an e-commerce company. “We are in the Top 100 in the United States out of about 40,000 dealers,” Goren shared. “We integrate all of the devices that are made by different manufacturers—all together—so that they work on one app. Technology Interiors has had the same 10 employees for the past 15 years. Combined we have over 100 years of ex-

perience between all of us, and we have some guys who have been in the industry for over 35 years of field experience.”

BUILDING A NEW HOME OR WANTING TO UPDATE YOUR EXISTING HOME’S SYSTEM? “If you’re building a house, we can help you design the home automation, and we can retrofit any house with the same technology,” Goren said. “Home automation encompasses anything involving your electronics. It controls the lights so that they automatically turn on when the doorbell rings. It allows you to control your alarm system, audio/video from your smartphone or handheld device.”

Zionsville_2019Sept_TechnologyInteriors_v2.indd 1

2019-09-09 3:42 PM

Goren explained that home automation enables the homeowner to control all aspects of the HVAC, security and camera systems, along with internal/external audio/ video, from apps on their smartphones that are tied to a sophisticated—yet user-friendly—network. “It all ties into a very robust network, and we can monitor that network so that when you need to reset your Apple TV, for example, we can reset it from our office,” Goren said. “When you think about the world today, we have three main utilities that we cannot live without: electricity, water and internet. We’re so dependent on internet and Wi-Fi that we can’t operate any home or business without them.”

IMPROVEMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE TO AUTOMATION “Home automation is easier to deliver, and it’s more economical in terms of implementation, costs of the cameras and systems,” Goren said. “A camera system used to be $5–$10,000, and today you can get a quality surveillance system for under $1,000. You can get a multi-camera system in your residence or commercial facility for around $2–3,000.”

Goren shared that the apps on the smartphone provide instant notifications when somebody enters your property and when they ring your doorbell. The homeowner is alerted and informed immediately. “You can control the locks on your doors and let a service person in who is there to repair something in your house,” Goren said. “You can let them in your home, watch them and talk with them as they perform the work.”

more faithfully reproduced. “We sell an LG projector that is pretty nice-looking, and you can stick it on the credenza or piece of furniture, and it projects up to a 120-inch screen,” Goren stated. “It doesn’t matter how light is in the room because the screens are ambient light-rejecting screens. They work really well and reject all other lights that are being shined onto the screen.” Music enthusiasts love their iPods and cherish the ability to pocket and listen to their favorite artists whenever and wherever they may be. Technology Interiors can easily integrate your iPod into your home so you can receive your favorite playlists throughout your whole-house audio system.

WHAT’S NEW WITH HOME THEATER PRODUCTS? “Projectors have become twice as good and last twice as long,” Goren said. “The [projector] bulb used to last about 2,000 hours, and now they last between 4,000–6,000 hours. Also, the projectors were 1080p and now they are 4K. The resolution is four times as good.” Technology Interiors sells high-quality Sony, LG, and Epson projectors that reproduce more tones and textures than a standard projector system using Triluminos color. Hard-to-reproduce crimson reds, aqua blues and emerald greens are displayed beautifully, so landscapes and seascapes look more vivid. Faces look better too, with skin tones

RECENT INNOVATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS IN HOME AUTOMATION The doorbell security camera has revolutionized the way we monitor the main entrance of our homes. Goren agreed that with technological advances such as this, people are more proactive in monitoring their homes and neighborhoods than ever before. “We are a lot more observant to what’s going on in our own yards and streets,”

he said. “We are immediately alerted through our smartphones when there’s an incident involving our homes.” Do you experience “dead spots” in your home’s Wi-Fi service and are getting nowhere with your internet provider? “We build robust networks, so you have broad coverage of Wi-Fi throughout your house,” Goren said. “We expand the signal into multiple access points so that you don’t have the frustration of not having service throughout your house.”

If you’re shopping for the best in home automation products, professionally installed by local industry experts, then contact or visit Technology Interiors at their showroom, located at 8977 E. 116th St. in Fishers, Indiana, or visit the website at technologyinteriors.com

Landscape Illumination, Inc. LOCAL EXPERTS IN PROFESSIONAL OUTDOOR LIGHTING Writer // Cris Trautner • Photography // Submitted

Are you ready to transform your outdated, worse-for-wear bathroom into the luxurious, spalike haven you’ve always dreamed of having? Then you need to call on Indianapolis’s Bath Experts, a dealer for BathWraps, a company owned by Jacuzzi.

xperts in applying LED or “green” technology to every project, Landscape Illumination’s owner, Darrin Selking, and his team have earned Kichler Lightings’ North American Contractor of the Year in 2009 and 2012. They are the only outdoor lighting contractor in North America to have won this award twice. Selking received a double degree from Purdue University in landscape management/ design and turfgrass management. He is also certified by the Association of Outdoor Lighting Professionals Selking and his team of highly trained service technicians specialize in not only landscape lighting for residences but also commercial outdoor lighting. “We’ve done

some unbelievable commercial projects – one example is a church that is more than 100-years old,” Selking said. Selking admitted that he is not the least expensive in the market, but his 20-plus years of experience and commitment to his customers has made him inarguably one of the best in his field. He and his team believe that the bar has been set high by specialized lighting design companies and that the true cost for outdoor lighting comes into play when a low-quality system fails. Landscape and seasonal lighting are his only business. It is not a sideline or an addition to other outdoor services, and Selking, along with his highly skilled staff, have a proven system that focuses on efficiency as well as customer satisfaction.

The design of the project is of major importance to Selking, and with his training in theatrical outdoor lighting, he has learned how to make a lighting project a work of art that the owners, neighbors and passersby can enjoy. Selking explained that doing that kind of “typical” installation washes out the details of the architecture. Landscape Illumination installs low-wattage fixtures close to or on the structure itself so that it shows off the intricate and interesting details that most people don’t see during the day but at night creates a dramatic effect. All the fixtures are standard with LED (light emitting diode) technology. They are energy efficient and usually offer a minimum 15-year warranty on the light source.

Landscape Illumination, Inc. offers a yearly maintenance contract after your system has been installed. Additional benefits to creating outdoor lighting displays— including seasonal and holiday lighting applications—is the increased safety and security benefits of having strategically placed lighting around a home and landscape. It is a well-known fact that lighting around your home can help deter potential break-ins. Proper deck lighting and pool lighting are also important safety features that Selking and his team can expertly install for their clients. If your commercial or residential outdoor lighting system is in need of repair or an upgrade and you live in the Indiana, lower Michigan, or south Chicagoland area, contact Landscape Illumination at (317)851-9172 or visit their website at https:// landscape-illumination.com to schedule an appointment for a free consultation. Don’t forget to ask about their yearly maintenance packages for your lighting system. There are different levels to choose from to meet your specific needs. Be sure to follow Landscape Illumination on Facebook and Instagram for completed residential and commercial projects.

Also new this year to Connor Prairie, The Reynolds Christmas Lights display—that has been enjoyed by Christmas lights enthusiasts since 1991—has made a new home at the prairie and will be a major part of A Merry Prairie Holiday experience. Christine DeJoy, Director of Public Affairs, shared a brief overview of all the incredible highlights of this upcoming holiday event that includes a Winter Wonderland wagon ride through the Reynolds display and other structures throughout the historic grounds lit with thousands of twinkling lights. “A Merry Prairie Holiday will be set up a lot like ‘Headless’ in that it will encompass the majority of the grounds,” DeJoy

enthusiastically shared. “For those who love Conner Prairie by Candlelight, [A Merry Prairie Holiday] will include this tradition throughout all of Prairie Town where guests can visit the 1860s Hoosier Homefront and Soldiers Camp to learn how they celebrated the season during the troubling times of the Civil War. At the same time, guests can see how the holidays were celebrated in 1836 Indiana in Prairie Town.” Additional highlights will include a toy-making workshop in Featherston Barn, which is in the North Pole area, where guests can “make and take” gifts that are wrapped on site. Guests can also enjoy a vintage carousel, a myriad of games at the Reindeer Games Midway, Polar Plunge Dry Tubing on the hill and so much more! Tickets are now available so purchase yours today!

PALLADIUM PERFORMER SPOTLIGHT

Steve Martin and Martin Short’s celebrated comedy show, “Now You See Them, Soon You Won’t,” redefines the form in unexpected and profound ways, from two of the funniest, most influential and acclaimed talents of the past century. Martin and Short will be joined on stage by Della Mae, banjo innovator Alison Brown and keyboardist Jeff Babko from the Jimmy Kimmel Live house band. Steve Martin is one of the best-known talents in entertainment. His work has earned him an Academy Award, five Grammy awards, an Emmy, the Mark Twain Award and the Kennedy Center Honors. He is also a Grammy Award-winning, boundary-pushing bluegrass banjoist and composer, Tony-nominated playwright and bestselling author. Martin Short, a celebrated comedian and actor, has won fans and accolades in television, film and theater since his breakout season on “Saturday Night Live” over 30 years ago. An accomplished stage actor, Short has received a Tony, a Theatre World Award and an Outer Critics Circle Award and is a twotime primetime Emmy winner.

THE BIG INTERVIEW

As gracious as they are hilarious, Martin and Short accepted an exclusive interview with Carmel Monthly and shared some in-depth behind-thescenes thoughts about their careers, their professionalism and especially their 30-plus-year friendship—a unique friendship between two iconic entertainers that has lifted each of these men up in times of great success, carried them through times of great loss and has sustained the decades with laughter. The interview began by pointing out that these men have been performing for half a century—a fact that both Martin and Short are sincerely proud of.

man, I would’ve said, ‘Yeah, laughs are fun, but the movie’s over and that’s enough of that.” I think it [friendship] goes deep into layers, and it’s just knowing when you have a friend not worth losing. STEVE: Marty was very funny in a surprising way. I always like to try to hang out with funny people and then they turn out to be interesting in addition to all that, it just makes it [the friendship] better. He is very wise.

Going back to the beginning of your careers, at what point did you know that you wanted to be performers/ entertainers? STEVE: For me, I was in college and was thinking about becoming a philosophy professor. But in my mind, I knew that if I didn’t give show business a try, I would have a regret my whole life. And that’s when I decided to go into show business. I really wanted to do it and had to try. MARTIN: For me, I had always fantasized about being in show business and would have imaginary television shows in my attic bedroom and would have imaginary deals with NBC and all that stuff. But I thought I had to be realistic because I was in Hamilton, Ontario [Canada], and so I went into medicine, and after two years of that I was like, “Nah, I’m going to try show biz.” So, I graduated college and gave myself a year to try it [show business].

Fast-forwarding to the fateful encounter on the set of “The Three Amigos,” that is where your friendship began and really developed, was it not? MARTIN: Absolutely, yes. STEVE: Certainly, yes. We ended up doing five movies together for one thing. And usually, as Marty says, you do a movie for three months and then you never see those people again. But he and I went out of our way to see each other but also to work together. And when those opportunities came up, we seized them. When you think about those moments working on set, working long hours and all the things that come with working on a movie, what was it about each other that made you think, “I kind of like this guy?” MARTIN: Why do any friendships form? Obviously, the big attraction for us was the comedy and we made each other laugh, but had Steve not been a truly decent and kind

Steve, we spoke with a blood relative of yours who works with one of The Center’s resident companies, whose maiden name is Mary Jeanelle Martin. She shared with us a story about her mother and your mother having written a book of genealogy for your branch of the Martin family. She said that every blood-related Martin has a half page in that book except for you. You have a FULL page. Are you aware of this book? STEVE: I remember that [book] and, well, first of all I am very grateful to Jack Martin [and family] for doing that. Otherwise, we would not have all that [family] history. Jack was working on that [book] at the time of my highest popularity. [Pause and laughs softly] He might have been influenced by all that, but there is a lot of information in that book. I love it.

MARTIN: Thank you.

What makes Martin wise in your opinion? STEVE: He has a lot of insight into people and also, he manages his own life really well, and sometimes I haven’t. MARTIN: [laughingly] Give me three examples of where you haven’t. [Martin and Steve laugh] STEVE: Well, certainly romances that have been bad. You know, that sort of thing. MARTIN: You get rid of people quickly, and I get rid of people over a few years. [More laughter] Obviously, you feed off each other well and play up each other’s strengths. So, when you’re doing these shows and you’ve written a script, do you ever look at each other and say I want to change this up or I think you should do this before you go out on stage or do you stick to the script? STEVE: We do both of those things. We like to stick to the script, but we also like to be inspired by things, so we often will make comments like, “Hey, here’s a suggestion for that bit” or Marty will suggest something and we either take it or leave it. What is it about the other that when you perform together really adds to the performance? STEVE: Marty is a real live wire and physically moves quite a bit. And he has all the daring comedy bits that play against my kind of, I don’t know if it’s stoicism, but let’s put it this way: I have no costume changes in the show, and Marty has three. [Martin laughs.]

If memory recalls, there was an interview back a number of years ago, and one of you was on a late-night talk show and the subject of colonoscopies came up. As the story goes, the two of you and Tom Hanks got together the night before your scheduled colonoscopies at Steve’s house for a sort of colonoscopy cleanse/support party. Was that for real and what did that look like? Not look like but you know, how did that go down? STEVE: Yeah … you don’t want to know what that looks like. [Laughter] STEVE: We’ve done it twice, and you know, a colonoscopy had a sort of bad reputation for being difficult. You had to be sedated and this and that, but now the colonoscopy [procedure] is so easy and it’s so improved that we don’t really need to fortify each other by having four guys come over to play poker and drink laxatives all night. [Laughter]

that character was that I could say anything I wanted because he [Glick] was a moron. [Laughter] MARTIN: So, it didn’t matter what I said [as Glick]. I once said to Mel Brooks [as Glick], “What’s your big beef with the Nazis?” I

Who was there for those “cleanse parties”? MARTIN: On both occasions it was Tom hanks and our friend Walter Parks, who’s a big-time Hollywood producer. One can only imagine the conversations that went on those nights. STEVE: Oh, we laughed pretty hard. But [telling that story] is our way of telling people to get colonoscopies because people aren’t always getting them at the age they should be.

wouldn’t say that as myself. [Laughter]

Well, you wouldn’t say it and keep your job! MARTIN: Exactly or keep your citizenship. Who did you enjoy interviewing the most? MARTIN: I can’t even, there’s so many… STEVE INTERRUPTS: I’m on the phone, Marty! I’m on the phone. [Laughter] MARTIN: It wasn’t Steve, but I interviewed Steve more than once!

You guys made colonoscopies relatable and humanized what is otherwise an experience we don’t want to sign up for unless we absolutely have to. Did you guys actually go to the clinic together the next day? MARTIN: Yes, we went to a clinic, and from there we went to a bar and had margaritas. Martin, you’ve been on this side of the table playing the character of celebrity interviewer Jiminy Glick. What inspired you to create that character and what did you take from those experiences as Glick? MARTIN: I wanted to create a character who could go as an entertainment reporter and create a character where I could be totally unrecognizable. What was great about doing

I THINK THAT STEVE AND I SHARE MANY SIMILARITIES, BUT ONE IS A DEEP DESIRE TO MAKE EVERY SHOW WE DO AS GOOD AS IT CAN BE.

Looking at your friendship of 30-plusyears, imagine what if you had never met. What would be missing from your lives today, personally and professionally? STEVE: Well, there would be a big hole. MARTIN: Yeah, the same with me. I’d miss this great friend and this great comradery and this great kind of wise fella who I laugh with on the phone and enjoy endlessly and have never had an issue with in all these years. That’s very unique. STEVE: It’s hard to answer because we’ve had so many good times. Good times, sad times. You can’t imagine [being without] it because it [30 years plus] is a lot of time. MARTIN [CHUCKLING]: It really is.

What is it you would like for people to know about this particular show and what can they expect aside from a celebration of decades of comedy, joy and realism that you’ve both given us? Thank you for that, by the way. STEVE: We’re really looking forward to it [the show at The Palladium]. Our goal is to make the audience laugh as hard as they’ve ever laughed in a professional situation. That is always our first goal. We hope that that audience says, “Wow, that was really funny and worth the ticket price.” MARTIN: I think that Steve and I share many similarities, but one is a deep desire to make every show we do as good as it can be. We’ve never not taken [a show] seriously, and I think that it would be difficult to work with somebody who didn’t take it as seriously as we both do.

Carmel Symphony Orchestra:

Not Your Grandparents’ Orchestra! Writer // Janelle Morrison • Photography // Courtesy of CSO

The Carmel Symphony Orchestra (CSO) opens its 2019–2020 season, “Musical Journeys with Janna,” with a fresh and innovative way designed by its music director, Janna Hymes, to target and engage diverse audiences of all ages. Hymes’ program includes a brilliant repertoire of some of the world’s most exquisite and eclectic symphonic music ever composed.

ymes, the 85-member resident orchestra and the CSO staff are committed to enhancing the quality of life for its patrons through its artistically excellent and affordable performances. The CSO is equally committed to its engaging outreach and educational experiences both at The Palladium at The Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel and beyond. Since joining CSO in 2017, Hymes has been fervently working on the orchestra’s programming, which she is scheduling out to five years, and is excited to share some of the fruits of her labor for this year’s season. This year’s season will speak to

a vaster demographic than ever before and inserts CSO as part of the common culture here in our remarkable city. “What we are seeing across the board— not just in Carmel—is that we [professional orchestras] need to be representative

of our community in a bigger way, and we need to be inclusive,” Hymes emphasized. “This [CSO] needs to be a home for everybody—a safe haven. Here, there are no prejudices, and we will play music that will be representative of everybody.” Hymes expressed her passion for the city to become known as a great arts destination with a great orchestra and to build on the growing attraction that is bringing in people from all over greater central Indiana. “We’re starting with small steps,” Hymes said. “This season we’re going to play Edgar Meyer, who I think has nine Grammys now and is an exceptional crossover artist. A lot of people are like, ‘Wow, you’re bringing Edgar Meyer

Zionsville_2019Sept_SymphonyOrchestra_v2.indd 1

2019-09-09 10:45 AM

Here, there are no prejudices, and we will play music that will be representative of everybody.” here?’ Of course, we’re doing Beethoven to celebrate his 250th birthday. I think every single orchestra in the world is doing something to honor that, but I really wanted to do Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9, Op. 125 in D minor. I’m bringing in four of my friends who are singers, and I’m really looking forward to that [performance] because I think that is one of the greatest pieces ever written. We will have the Anderson [University] Choirs on stage as well, so it will be a real spectacle.” For the first time in The Center’s history, two resident companies—CSO and the Actors Theatre of Indiana—will collaborate and perform on The Palladium’s revered stage. “‘Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street’ is a really cool collaborative effort and one of my favorite shows, if not my favorite show of all time,” Hymes shared. “I love the music. We’ve been talking with ATI for a couple of years, and one day I got a call from ATI telling me they wanted to do ‘Sweeney Todd’ with CSO. It’s a great orchestral piece, and ATI is great, so when you put us together, it will be strong on both ends. I am really excited about this.” One of Hymes’ goals is to bring CSO to places beyond The Center and to introduce people to a modern day orchestra where one may least expect it. CSO performed a summer concert at Sun King Distillery this summer in the newly completed Midtown Plaza. “We loved playing Sun King,” Hymes said. “We learned a lot and have worked out a lot of kinks, so we’d love to come back and offer a couple of shorter concerts as a teaser for what it is that we do.” Mark your calendars for the upcoming

CSO concert at Mallow Run Winery, presented by Indiana Grown. “The owners [of Mallow Run] used to play in the orchestra,” Hymes said. “I went there, socially, and fell in love with the space. It’s beautiful, and the wine is terrific. They are also very welcoming. We will play a gamut of music from “Hamilton” to some classic pop—it will be a really nice mix. People can bring a blanket and a picnic, have their wine and just chill out on a beautiful September night.” Staying true to CSO’s roots, Hymes promises that they will continue to perform great classical music while integrating a broader range of music and programs that appeal to a broader range of people. “I’m very realistic,” Hymes said. “I think that this [strategy] is going to be the ticket to our continued growth and success. But when you think of CSO, I want you to think that we do a combination of classical and really hip and fun with an excellence in orchestral playing.”

Did you know... that CSO is family friendly— we offer family-centered programming (Side-by-Side & Family Fun! concerts) but all our concerts are OK to bring kids to (except maybe “Sweeney Todd”!) CSO is affordable—a family of four can attend the entire Masterworks Series season (six concerts) for under $250 CSO is not “stuffy” but cool and approachable. Come in jeans or come in a suit and heels. All are welcome. Bring a drink to your seat. Sit back and relax and watch Janna and our amazing musicians do all the incredible work! CSO’s special events are fun and fresh (Mallow Run or Sinatra & Friends, where we’ve invited the audience to dress in period attire, aka cosplay effect) For a complete list of the entire 2019–2020 season’s concerts, and to purchase tickets, visit carmelsymphony.org.

Writer // Janelle Morrison • Photography // Courtesy of Run 2 Race

Registration is underway for the Zionsville Five and Dime 5K and 10K run/walk that will take place on its new date, Saturday, November 23, 2019, at 9:00 a.m. in downtown Zionsville.

hroughout the duration of the run/walk, Main Street will not be closed. The scenic 10K and 5K course through Zionsville will start and finish in front of the Lions Park Clubhouse. The 5K loop runs through the village of Zionsville on the roads around the golf course, through Lions Park and Creekside nature park, then back to the start/finish area. The 10K runners will complete a second loop after running through the split mat. Mike Cole, founder of Run 2 Race, is a Zionsville resident and has been directing and promoting running races in and around the area, including the Zionsville

Half Marathon and Big Boom 4th of July 5K. Cole collaborates with local businesses and running teams to host firstclass events. He has been a competitive runner for more than 25 years and ran track and cross-country at Ball State University. He is also a personal coach with high school and college-level coaching experience. Cole also coaches athletes of all ages, from the beginning youth level to Olympic Trial hopefuls. Cole sat down with us and shared his passion for directing races in his hometown and the growing popularity of his races in Zionsville. “I grew up around running, and as a lifelong runner, I feel it’s important to

put on races, coach or do something that keeps people interested in the running community,” Cole said. “Without anybody putting on races, there won’t be any.” Cole shared that his signature race has successfully drawn participants from out of state and from all over the state with the launch of the Zionsville Half Marathon. “When I started [putting on these races], there weren’t a lot of races, and many of the ones that came here were sporadic,” Cole said. “I wanted to create a signature race with the Zionsville Half, and I think we’re establishing that. As a town, we are becoming known in the running community as a running-friendly town.” Taking advantage of the new date of the Five and Dime race, Cole is collaborating with several of the downtown businesses who will be offering 10% discounts for the run/walk participants the day of the event. A list of participating restaurants will be posted on the Run 2 Race website. “After the run/walk, everybody will get pizza, as they do after all my races,” Cole said. “We typically have cookies and bananas as well. We will have medals, and then I usually put together a really nice prize package for the top winners. Medals will be awarded to all finishers in both races for both overall and age group awards.” Online registration usually cuts off three days prior to race day. Participants can register the day of and are able to pick up and/or fill out registration forms at Greek’s Pizzeria in downtown Zionsville. Cole encouraged everyone to come out and enjoy the walk/run, as well as shopping and dining local afterward. “This will be the perfect time to come out and dine at one of the restaurants and start your holiday shopping and season early,” Cole said. “Each runner will be given a card to shop and eat at participating businesses for a discounted rate for the weekend.” Register now at run2race.com. Visit the website for packet pickup and additional registration locations. Zionsville Monthly is proud to be the media sponsor for this great event in downtown Zionsville.

Dr. Robert Einterz A Man with a Global Vision and a Heart for Collaborative Medicine

Writer // Janelle Morrison • Photography // Laura Arick and submitted

How many times have you walked about town, along Main Street perhaps, and passed by a smart-looking person you don’t know, and you exchange a simple “Good day” or “Hello,” never knowing their story? Then by happenstance, your paths cross again, and you find out that the person is not just another local resident but is a highly educated and respected influencer/educator who is part of a global partnership that is literally improving the world, who happens to live in your town.

know that I’ve crossed paths with local resident Dr. Robert (Bob) Einterz, around town, but I only just recently learned that—and that we share mutual acquaintances. And I had no previous knowledge of the incredible work Einterz and his colleagues do until recently. It is his work with Academic Model Providing Access to Healthcare (AMPATH) and his vision for global health that sparked my interest in this Hoosier native. The Einterz family is an accomplished and well-respected name throughout the greater Indianapolis area and beyond. Bob Einterz, one

of 13 children, resides in Zionsville with his wife, Lea Anne, three sons and three daughters. Einterz’s sense of community was nurtured by his family and throughout his Catholic upbringing. When asked what inspired his calling to become the dedicated doctor that he’s become, to work (and sometimes reside) in underdeveloped countries, and where his sense of humanitarianism came from, he replied, “I have been asked this many times. You can either credit or blame my parents.” It was this calling to help build stronger and healthier communities that led Einterz, his young wife and first born to

live in Haiti for one year—1986–87—while he worked as a volunteer physician. Now imagine living in rural Haiti with a newborn, and your spouse not only agrees to stay married to you but also agrees to uproot his/her life and move to Kenya for a stint, a few years later, with more of your children in tow, so that you can codevelop a partnership between colleagues and countries for the betterment of global health. One could argue that Einterz’s wife—Lea Anne—should be eligible for canonization one day. What many may not know is that Einterz co-founded the Indiana University-Moi University,

SEPTEMBER 2019

2019-09-09 10:31 AM

Kenya partnership in 1989. He then served as the coordinator of the Department of Medicine at Moi University School of Medicine in 1990–91. Dr. Einterz was the co-director of the NIH-funded Moi Medical Informatics Fellowship and the principal investigator of numerous grants, including projects funded by the Gates Foundation, the MTCT-Plus Initiative and the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). Einterz is currently the Donald E. Brown Professor of Global Health and associate dean for global health at Indiana University School of Medicine, as well as director of the Indiana University Center for Global Health. CREATING A MISSION AND DEVELOPING AMPATH In 1988, four incredibly dedicated doctors, Drs. Bob Einterz, Joe Mamlin, Charlie Kelley, and Dave Van Reken, went on a three-week world tour looking for an international partner for the Indiana University School of Medicine. The needs of Kenya and the vision of Moi University School of Medicine are what attracted these four doctors to form a partnership, along with their Kenyan counterparts, who were committed to developing the new Kenyan school’s curriculum around broad, community-based service. In 1990, Einterz became the first in a three-decade string of Indiana University faculty physicians to work alongside Kenyan colleagues, care for Kenyan patients, conduct health research and teach American and Kenyan medical students. The success of the Indiana University and Moi University partnership inspired other North American universities to join AMPATH, which was officially formed in 2001. Einterz shared that the AMPATH Consortium currently consists of 10 North American universities and health centers, led by Indiana University, and including Brown University, Duke University and Purdue University. AMPATH has grown to become of Africa’s largest comprehensive health care systems as a result of the collaboration between American and Kenyan faculty, medical doctors, residents, students, scientists and volunteers. AMPATH’S commitment to the HIV epidemic

remains a priority, but it has also expanded into other areas of health care that include cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, mental health, maternal health, child health and other chronic diseases. “AMPATH is an alliance of institutions—it is not a legal entity,” Einterz explained. “It is Moi University, Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital in this consortium of North American academic health sciences centers and universities led by Indiana University. AMPATH is a collaboration with Kenya’s Ministry of Health that affects the health care delivery system that now serves a population of about 8 million.” While AMPATH has achieved remarkable success in its health care initiatives in Kenya, Einterz emphasized that the success is due to the Kenyan-led collaboration efforts and [AMPATH’S] measurable population health outcomes. “We should measure the success of researched-based institutions like Moi University and Indiana University not just in terms of publications and profits but also in terms of population health outcomes,” Einterz said. “If we do the best [health] research in the world but that research is not translated back into improved population health, what have we accomplished?” Einterz continued, “If you train the best and brightest medical students and they graduate into dysfunctional health systems and migrate to the cities or here to the U.S., then our mission, which is to serve the population, particularly those with low incomes, is not accomplished.”

BUILDING ON A NEARLY CENTURY-OLD FOUNDATION According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the concept of universal health care (UHC) is not a new concept. Rather, UHC is firmly based on the WHO constitution of 1948, declaring health a fundamental human right, and on the Health for All agenda set by the Alma Ata declaration in 1978. UHC cuts across all of the health-related sustainable development goals and brings hope of better health and protection for the world’s poorest. “Universal health coverage is defined as ensuring that people have access to needed promotive preventive curatives and rebuild of health services of sufficient quality to be effective or also ensuring that people do not suffer financial hardship when paying for these services. Essentially, it’s an integrated health care delivery system and the finances to pay for it. Those two together—that’s universal health coverage.” Einterz concluded, “We lead with care, and by leading with care, what I mean is that we get our hands dirty in the actual delivery of health services. And we do that in such a way that we create a health system that hosts research and hosts training, so that at the end of the day, no one of those three missions—care, research or training—are any more or any less important than the other two.” For more information on AMPATH and to learn how to get involved as a student, resident or faculty member or if you are interested in saving lives and building health systems through your donation to the AMPATH Consortium lead institution, Indiana University, visit ampathkenya.org.

Boone EDC: Building a “Better” Boone County Writer // Janelle Morrison • Photography // Courtesy of Boone County EDC

The health of Boone County’s economy directly impacts each of its residents and all of its existing businesses, small, medium and large. The mission of Boone County Economic Development Corporation (Boone EDC) is to “seek the right economic opportunities to support strong communities and enhance the quality of life for all Boone County residents.” This includes leading workforce and new business development efforts throughout Boone County.

e sat down with Boone EDC’s executive director Molly Whitehead to discuss the overall status of Boone County’s economic health. As some of the nation’s top economists are predicting an impending recession in 2020, Whitehead shared what Boone EDC has learned from the last economic

downturn and how they are applying those lessons to help Boone County’s business sector weather a financial storm should one materialize in the near future. Whitehead, a Boone County native, grew up on a farm on the far north side of the county. After college, Whitehead worked for state government in a variety of capacities.

“I had the opportunity to work and travel everywhere around the state of Indiana at that time,” Whitehead said. “It was 2008–2009, and it was in the middle of the recession. I saw communities that were either thriving or struggling, and what piqued my interest was what they [the thriving communities] were doing for themselves rather than relying on others to do things for their communities.” After earning her MBA, Whitehead accepted a position with the Indiana Economic Development Corporation. When the executive director position became available in 2014, Whitehead applied and has been working for the betterment of the county since. In the aftermath of the last recession, Boone County and its communities, such as Zionsville, saw a period of perseverance and innovation in the business community, especially among its small businesses. While many small- and medium-sized businesses were temporarily paralyzed in the wake of the financial downturn, some took that time to redevelop their business models and came out stronger for it. Concurrently, the entire county experienced a period of slower growth than neighboring Hamilton County. Boone EDC also took advantage of that time by working to define the county—from an economic standpoint—through excellent strategic planning and regional, national and international marketing efforts that are ongoing. “Coming out of the recession, we’ve [Boone County] been reaping the benefits of smart planning—that predates me—at a time of slower growth,” Whitehead said. “Say what you will about slower growth, but it presents those opportunities to think through how you want your infrastructure to look and evaluate the necessary steps you need to take along the way. I think we have set ourselves up very well, and it’s made my job easier in that I’ve had a good foundation to work with.”

a staff member who is dedicated to developing and working with small businesses and entrepreneurs. “I do believe that small businesses are the backbone of our economy,” Whitehead said. “Yes, we still have to go after those ‘big’ deals that bring in 200 jobs and $100 million in capital investment as they are partially our bread and butter, but we are excited to bring on a staff person who is passionate about small business and entrepreneurship and who can dig into the weeds about what the barriers are for those business owners and figure out how we can help to eliminate those barriers.” Did you know that Boone EDC offers its GROW Program and Microloan Program, specifically targeted at small businesses and entrepreneurs? The GROW (Gumption, Resources, Opportunities and Workplace) Program, developed by Boone EDC, works in conjunction with zWORKS and awards an annual membership to zWORKS to an entrepreneur or small business owner seeking to grow and expand their operations in Boone County. The Boone EDC Microloan mission is a resource for small businesses in Boone County. If you are looking for funding for new equipment, renovations, upgrades or more, the microloan is a low-interest investment option that can boost you to the next level. Boone EDC engages its large manufacturers by hosting a quarterly Boone County Manufacturing Alliance. This is a group of general/plant managers and CEOs focused on meeting the needs of Boone County’s manufacturing businesses. Boone EDC also hosts quarterly HR Roundtables. This event is an opportunity for HR professionals in Boone County to network with each other while hearing about a topic relevant to their field.

Building the Boone County Brand Boone EDC has been actively and successfully marketing to regional, national and international corporations amid heavy competition from neighboring counties. One of Boone EDC’s

I would love to get to that point where we don’t have to offer incentives because people will want to be here [Boone County], and we’re close.” Contributing to the efforts to improve the county’s overall quality of life for employers and their employees also plays into the economic development equation, and Boone EDC is an active participant in those related initiatives as well. “While I can’t make a legitimate argument that I’ll bring in five companies because we have connected trails, it is one more tool in the toolbox and says to people that we know amenities are important to the people who live and work here. That is one of the reasons why people love the ‘village’ of Zionsville. It brings a quality of life and sense of community to the area. All of the new and different parks in Whitestown appeals to a large, diverse group of people. Those types of improvements matter, even if you can’t quantify them.”

Preparing for Blue Skies or Gray “At the county level, Boone County is taking more steps to become even more conservative with dollars and is saving up for that ‘rainy day,’” Whitehead explained. “We know that the day will come, though we don’t know to what extreme the market will dip. We are planning to make sure

that we are better positioned, but we are not putting on the brakes. We are pushing ahead from the marketing perspective because we want as many companies and assets as we can possibly get and don’t want all of our eggs in one basket. We don’t want one mega-user coming in and when/if it closes, we lose all of the jobs. At some point there will be a recession, and we are taking the time—while times are good—to prepare.”

Boone EDC Launches WorkInBoone.com Boone EDC just launched a website to help connect job seekers with career opportunities in Boone County. The website, www.WorkInBoone.com, features an interactive map that offers the ability to filter Boone County companies by industry. “WorkInBoone.com is designed as a free resource for Boone County employers to recruit employees and provides an easy way for job seekers to connect with local businesses,” said Amy Hammerle, Boone EDC workforce and community development manager. “The website links job seekers directly to local companies via their career website or email address.” Whitehead added, “We are often asked where people can go to find jobs in Boone County. Before now, there was not a onestop shop. WorkInBoone.com is one component of our plan to provide workforce solutions to Boone County employers.” Businesses will continue to be added to the website. Companies interested in being included on WorkInBoone.com should visit the employer section at the bottom of the website to sign up.

a Future Bestseller Writer // Janelle Morrison • Photography // Submitted

Last October, I had the privilege of introducing to the readers Zionsville resident Rob Harrell. Harrell is an extraordinary author, illustrator, cartoonist and survivor. A native Hoosier and DePauw University graduate, Harrell shared his remarkable story of surviving an incredibly rare form of ocular cancer in his right eye that cost him his sight in that eye but has led him on an incredible journey as an author and artist.

arrell’s past and current works include illustrator and creator of the syndicated daily comic strip “Big Top” and the creative source behind the long-running daily strip “Adam@Home,” which runs in more than 140 newspapers across the globe. He is the author and creator of the popular kids’ series “Life of Zarf.” Last fall, we discussed his first hybrid novel, “Monster on the Hill,” that was published in 2013 and was picked up by Paramount

and ReelFX and inspired a CGI animated film, “Rumble,” that is in production and slated to be released in 2020 or 2021. According to Harrell, Will Arnett has been casted as the not-so-ferocious monster Rayburn, and Tony Danza and other notable actors have supportive roles in the movie. Harrell will fly out to L.A. for a screening on September 11. While all that is beyond exciting for Harrell, his wife, Amber, and their family and friends, Harrell shared even

more exciting news about his second soon-to-be-released novel, “Wink”. This honest depiction of a seventh-grade boy’s battle—with the same cancer that Harrell was diagnosed with—is a raw but at times humorous and relatable story for anyone who has dealt with cancer as an adult, a child, a caregiver or a friend. I was honored to read the uncorrected proof of “Wink” and found the story to be a meaningful lesson about life and what it sometimes throws at us while reminding me that there is magic and humor in

all things—even in the most challenging and tragic of times. Harrell was gracious to spend time with me, sharing his latest experiences as a published author and what he would like for his readers to know about his latest book and the movie that was inspired by his work before their official releases. “I’ve been working on this [“Wink”] for a year and a half at least at this point— maybe two years,” Harrell said. “I can’t wait to get a hold of the hardcover now. It’s very exciting when I finally get a copy in my hands.” After the arduous writing and editing processes of publishing a book, Harrell simply said, “It feels good. Maybe because it was a personal story, this one was a true labor of love. I’m working with the same editor as I did with the “Life of Zarf” books, and there has been

like a million versions of this book. It has been analyzed and reanalyzed, changed, put back the way it was and fixed again.” Harrell credits his wife, Amber, and his family and friends for their patience and support throughout the process. It is with that extreme level of support he is able to create and bring meaningful characters to life to share with his readers. Given that the subject of “Wink” is a seventh-grader named Ross who is diagnosed and treated for mucoepidermoid carcinoma of his right eye, Harrell is hoping that the readers—regardless of age—will find the story relatable and entertaining without marginalizing other patients’ and survivors’ experiences throughout their own personal journeys. “I’m hoping that it [the book] helps both kids who

are dealing with something tough like cancer and friends and family members of kids going through cancer treatments,” Harrell said. “I hope it helps them to not feel alone. I went through [cancer] as an adult, but I think the feelings are universal.” While Harrell agreed that you can’t sugarcoat cancer, he wanted to make his character Ross’s story relatable for the kids in particular. “I had been thinking about writing about my cancer, but I never felt right about it until I had this idea about writing a middle schooler going through a similar situation as I had,” Harrell said. “Writing sort of my story through the eyes of Ross suddenly seemed like I had more of a reason to write this book. I love my other books, but this book feels like it has a lot of purpose to me.” Keep up with all the exciting news and official releases on Rob Harrell’s website, robharrell.com.
