Fishers Petitions USPS to Change Zip Codes

By Tom Britt Postal officials confirmed today that the Town of Fishers has formally requested that the United States Postal Service (USPS) change the zip codes of the soon-to-be-annexed Geist homes. As of January 1, 2010, the 2,000 plus homes in the unincorporated areas of Fall Creek Township will officially be within the Town of Fishers after a four-year legal battle.

“The Town of Fishers has submitted a request to change all the zip codes within their town limits to 46037,” said Kim Yates, a spokesperson for the postal service.

Currently, the unincorporated areas affected include McCordsville (46055), Fortville (46040), and even Indianapolis (46256) zip codes around Geist Reservoir. If the change is made, all addresses would change to Fishers and would most likely share the 46037 zip code.

2. If granted, a survey letter will be sent to each impacted postal customer requesting a “yes” or “no” vote.

The process of changing zip codes is time consuming and includes the input of the residents affected.

3. If the majority of households want the change, the change will be granted. If not, the zip codes will stay the same.

1. The USPS District Office will study the impacts of the change, including the work load of each post office affected. They will then render a decision as to whether to grant or deny the request.

20,000 SF

“The process is fairly democratic,” added Yates. “Residents do have a say in the outcome.”

Fully Furnished Northeast Side Office Building

A simple majority of respondents will determine the result of the entire area.

“If we only receive 50 surveys out of 1,000 and 26 of them are against the change, the request will be denied.”

For more information call Bill:

317-585-1104

Authorities confirmed that if the petition is denied or overturned by the resident surveys, Fishers would have to wait 10 years to resubmit a petition and try again.

No timeline was given on when residents should expect a decision from the USPS. Sign up for daily alerts on atGeist.com.

Puzzling Geist Neighbor: Jeff Knurek to solve the clue presented in the cartoon. Knurek creates the drawings while his partner, Mike Argirion, is responsible for the words for this classic brainteaser that has been around for about fifty-five years.

Living in the Geist area, Knurek represents a very busy and interesting man with quite a creative imagination branching out into many different areas. During our interview, I was surprised to learn something even more amazing about him with every new answer to my questions.

A couple years ago, Knurek replaced Henri Arnold as the Jumble cartoonist. Up until this time, Knurek had worked on the drawings for many of the Jumble brands in the “minor leagues” before landing this reputable spot.

Knurek also is co-creator along with creative partner, David L. Hoyt, of the puzzle, Word Roundup found in USA Today, as well as a syndicated puzzle based on the classic word game, Boggle, called Boggle BrainBusters. Jeff’s puzzle inventions include several variations of Jumble found online at Jumble.com. If that’s not enough, he is even moving into the realm of creating games for iPhone.

Fishers cartoonist and game creator Jeff Knurek in his home office.

In addition, Knurek partners with a magician in Las Vegas.

His name is Mac King. Jeff serves as the Licensing Director for Mac’s “Magic in a Minute” children’s magic line of tricks, books, kits and promotions. Knurek is excited about releasing Mac’s new book, titled Scout Magic, coinciding with the 100th anniversary of Boy Scouts of America.

Knurek is working to have Mac perform at the Boy Scout National Jamboree in July. This new book, due out in February, can now be pre-purchased on Amazon.com.

By Janet Striebel You might have heard of Jeff Knurek from the classic Jumble puzzle which happens to appear in over 600 newspapers around the world. Each Jumble requires the unscrambling of words

Knurek fulfills another interesting role—toy and game inventor. His most popular game is titled, “What’s in Ned’s Head?” which is geared toward ages four and up.

“It’s icky and gross. That’s what it’s all about,” says Knurek, who came up with this idea when asking his inventing

question, “What if?” He was wondering, “What if you could reach inside your head? What would you find?” This game comes with a large 17-inch plush head (Ned) with an assortment of gross things put inside the head such as a worm, fried egg, dirty ear wax Q-tip, tongue and moldy cheese.

Players are dealt a card with a picture of the item to grab from one of four holes. The first player to successfully find his/her item is the winner.

It’s not surprising then that Knurek attended the University of Michigan while Keedy attended a major rival, Michigan State. When Knurek initially announced to his wife, Kathy KentKnurek, about wanting to donate his kidney, she warned him that his chances were slim, especially since he didn’t even know his own blood type yet. Kathy, a pediatric nurse practitioner, once worked in an organ bank, and knew of the complications involved with this major undertaking.

Soon, the Target stores will be promoting “What’s in Ned’s Head?” This popular game has received several parenting awards. Also, many schools are using this game as a secondary bonus to their classrooms and as an adjunct to speech therapy.

Besides being known as a lighthearted, creative cartoonist, licensing director and game inventor, perhaps Knurek wishes to be remembered as one who fulfilled a brotherly duty for his cousin who suffers from polycystic kidney disease.

When he first found out about his cousin’s prognosis seven years ago, Knurek foresaw the inevitable need for a kidney transplant in his cousin’s future. Knurek knew deep within his heart that he wanted to be the one to step up and serve this man, Bobby Keedy, whom he had grown up with as neighbors and playmates. Keedy has always been like a big brother to Knurek as he is seven years older. Throughout their childhood they would play games and bring out the most competitive spirit in one another.

Eventually, Knurek’s ambition would merge with fate, as he did indeed donate his kidney to Keedy, successfully. The irony behind this (Continues)

Just in time for the holidays, Knurek’s “What’s in Ned’s Head?” game is now available at Target stores.

Heavy brows, eyes and jowls age the face. Opening the eyes with a browlift or eyelift takes years off and often reduces heaviness and fatigue. Jowls and “turkey gobblers” under the chin add apparent weight and 10-15 years of age to the face.

Surgery is designed to turn back the clock without changing what you look like- a better, younger YOU. Healing requires one week of “down time””. Procedures can be done under sedation. Cost varies depending on the extent of surgery but ranges $5000-9000 (total).

Knurek admits that it was Keedy who truly inspired him to become a game inventor because Keedy would often come over to Knurek’s home as a kid and play games with his family for hours. Their childhood reflects an enthusiastic intensity within all their games.

Cameron who is 8 years old. Knurek brags about how both of his kids show early signs of remarkable creativity. He leaves us with what he hopes to instill in his children: “I want to let them know that they can do anything they want. My donating a kidney was all about doing the right thing, even though it wasn’t necessarily the easiest, and that anything is possible.�

“Playing Euchre was a full contact sport,� recalls Knurek who claims that Keedy brought an unforgettable passion to every game.

This competitive ardor has deeply inspired Knurek’s desire to create games that help him resonate back to his most positive childhood memories.

way to being just as popular as one of my local favorites, Yats. Managed by Victor Diaz, who hails from Madrid, Spain and has been in Indiana for the past two and a half out of a total fifteen years in the U.S., has definitely opened something worth experiencing.

If you haven’t been to Spain or below the equator to Latin America, no problem, El Bodegon brings the authentic cuisine right to your doorstep. The idea behind this unique restaurant was to bring together the best of two worlds, incorporating a genuine tapas bar with an atmosphere reminiscent of a Tasca or a bar in Spanish. El “Bodegón,” which means tavern, also provides a bodega, which is a general store that sells groceries, wine, beer, and even has a sitting area for customers to be able to sit, drink, eat and just hang out.

El Bodegon offers a wide range of dishes to choose from with a diverse tapas selection, which are essentially appetizers. There is also a unique selection of full dinner portions that will leave your taste buds wanting more. The term tapas, as the popular thinking goes, actually originates from the medieval times when travelers would stop at a roadside inn for a small snack and drink to go and would get a jug of wine, which was typically covered by a piece of bread commonly referred to a tapa. The tapa served as a temporary lid to protect the liquid from the dust and dirt that would fly up from the road along the rest of their journey. Another story goes that tapas originated from a royal mandate that required some kind of small snack, such as a piece of bread, to be served with meals to prevent people from getting drunk off of the wine that was served in place of water, since the sanitary conditions were not what they are now.

A must try dish at El Bodegon is the Spanish Paella, prepared personally by Victor from a well kept family secret recipe. The infusion of squid tentacles, a few mussels, and whole shrimp is a culinary masterpiece. Not only is it affordable, but it will most certainly satisfy your appetite. Another popular staple is the Venezuelan or Colombian Arepas, which are homemade corn cakes. I recommend grabbing a beef or chicken Empanada to go if you are short on time.

And don’t forget dessert, for the homemade flan isn’t the only option on the menu. Lunch time is the busiest time for El Bodegon staff, but the dinner hours on weekends provide the perfect intimate date night setting with the dim lighting.

Latin American Restauranteur Comes to Geist El Bodegon’s Victor Diaz prepares Spanish Paella, a family recipe, at his new East 96th Street Spanish/ Latin American restaurant.

By Ellen Kizik Finally, there is an authentic Spanish/Latin American restaurant and supermercado in the Greater Indianapolis area. El Bodegon, which is located at 8510 E. 96th Street in Suite D (near Walmart), opened in Fishers a month ago. It has already found its niche and is on its

Aside from the food, El Bodegon has a wide range of goods to choose from including a meat market. You can select by the type of cut you want or the country of origin. There are other international markets around Indianapolis, but this is the first that is tailored specifically to Latin America and Spain, so you won’t find any Mexican food or beverages.

Mama Bear’s Changes Hands

By Tom Britt Five years after purchasing Mama Bear’s Cafe & Bakery, Jaye McCormick has sold the popular coffee shop to Windermere residents Tim and Sanni Toby.

Jaye’s husband, Gary, was diagnosed with Inclusion Body Myositis (a chronic inflammatory muscle disease with no cure) over 10 years ago and requires more help getting ready in the mornings. “I want to be there for Gary,� Jaye said. “I still want to work, I just need to find something that starts later in the day.�

After talking to several suitors, Jaye felt that the Tobys were a good fit for the Geist breakfast and lunch cafe. “I’ve always wanted to be a business owner,� said Sanni, who is currently working from home in a sales position. “In the back of my mind, I’ve always wanted to own some sort of coffee shop and this opportunity was a great fit.�

Tim and Sanni are 22-year Fishers residents and St. Simon parishioners with two daughters at Cathedral High School.

When asked about their plans for Mama Bear’s, Sanni admits that drastic changes are not in their future.

Windermere residents Sanni and Tim Toby stand in front of their new purchase, Mama Bear’s Cafe & Bakery.

“We’d like to push the catering a little harder, but we’re open to feedback and ideas,� she said. “Why fix something that isn’t broken?�

Young Marines Take Marching Orders for Fun A cross between scouting and boot camp, the Central Indiana Young Marines (CIYM) is a part of the Marine Corps League, and offers kids in the area an experience like no other. It is a non-profit youth education and service program for boys and girls ages 8 through completion of high school, and focuses on character building, leadership, and promotes a healthy, drug-free lifestyle.

“Our motto is Do the Right Thing,” says Geist resident Tony Mungovan, a former Marine Corps sergeant who now serves as a training officer for the organization. “Through our program, we instill discipline in our participants and we stress team-building and physical fitness,” he says.

Private First Class Ryan Mungovan of Geist, and new recruit Luke Hughes of Carmel, learn discipline and survival skills as participants in the Central Indiana Young Marines program.

Mungovan’s ten-year-old son, Ryan, is involved in the program and has seen the rewards first-hand. “My son is now a Private First Class, and he has really learned to listen better at home since he’s been involved in this program,” says Mungovan. “He has also learned the importance of preparing a uniform, which requires discipline. He is motivated to meet the company’s requirements, like cutting his hair and trimming his fingernails properly. It’s really been a positive experience for both of us,” he adds.

By Michelle Momper For decades, millions of young children have donned their camouflage pajamas and pretended to be brave soldiers or drill sergeants.

But for some area youth, night ops and company drills are part of a dream come true.

Mungovan coordinates the training for participants, which includes drills, team building, physical fitness activities and

classroom time, focusing on topics like leadership or academic excellence. “We also stress the concept of obeying and respecting authority, both in the classroom and at home,�

Mungovan says. “We provide all this in a positive and motivating environment,� he adds.

“They also teach survival skills,� Luke adds. “Like what to do if you’re out in the middle of nowhere in bad weather. I feel like I’ve learned more about discipline and about how to be nice to my parents. I’m also more organized, which is nice,� he says. For more information about CIYM, visit www.ciym.net.

In order to be a part of the program, recruits are required to complete an application process, and be accepted as one of only 26 in a platoon. Applications are accepted for two platoons a year, which form in February and August. Recruits experience a nine-week training program that includes learning about U.S. and Marine Corps history, and basic first aid and survival skills. Recruits graduate upon completion of the nine weeks, and then become a part of a company.

While weekly drills and special events are an important part of the program, giving service to the community is also high on the list of priorities. “Our young Marines fulfill fifty hours of community service per year. This might include spending time with veterans, working at a local food bank or serving a meal at a homeless shelter,� Mungovan says.

Next Geist Networking luncheon will be held on Thursday, December 10th at noon at Custom Floors (11777 Exit 5 Parkway, Fishers). Please bring a non-perishable food donation for the Fall Creek Township food pantry.

Once recruits officially graduate, they can don their official fatigue uniforms and participate in such activities as an annual campout. This year’s outing took place this fall at Bradford Woods in southern Indiana. “We go into the field once a year. Throughout the year we teach a map and compass course and first aid training, so we combine it all in one final exercise,� Mungovan says.

During this most recent outing, the kids were given coordinates in order to go find a fictional plane crash and casualties. “The kids had to go find the casualties, bring them back using their first aid skills, and communicate successfully on the radio in order to make it all happen,� Mungovan said. “It was a fun way for the kids to experience what they’ve learned,� he says.

STARTING AT ONLY

“I would recommend the program to anyone,� says Carmel resident David Hughes, whose 11-year-old son Luke just graduated Nov. 19 from his initial nine weeks of training. “My son is now more disciplined, he pays more attention to neatness, and he is really getting interested in American history,� he says.

Luke, who admits he was a little apprehensive about the program initially, has enjoyed the process. “I was a little scared at first,� he said. “But after awhile I got used to it. As the weeks went by, I wasn’t as nervous and I really like it now.� % TH 3TREET s &ISHERS ).

The physical challenges have been one of the most appealing aspects of the program for Luke. “They really encourage you to get fit. I can run a mile at a time, and I do push-ups, pullups, sit-ups and stretches. It makes you feel good,� he said.

Holidays and Children of Divorce Holy Cross 5K Race

Holy Cross Lutheran Church hosted their annual 5K to benefit the Sharing Place. The fastest runner with a time of 19:15 was 16 year old Carter Marshall (above) who was making his first appearance in this race.

of love” and won’t be living together any more.

By Lawrence B. Lennon, Ph.D.

Too often, children of divorce feel that they are like the family pet when they are told, without discussion, when, where, and with whom they are going to be spending their free time.

All children of divorce have been involuntarily subjected to something painful beyond their comprehension and beyond their control. When it comes to dividing their time with each parent, they may again feel helpless as they wonder with the next coming holiday, “Whose turn is it to have me?”

Thanksgiving, religious holidays, birthdays, school day cancellations and summer vacations are eagerly anticipated by most children. For children of divorced parents, however, these times are often viewed with feelings of confusion, ambivalence, anger, and abandonment.

Unless divorced parents have consciously and lovingly placed their children’s well-being above their own, their innocent children may dread “family” celebrations that do not include both parents. One parent “family” celebrations are often recurring reminders of the traumatic, life-altering moment when they were first told that mommy and daddy “fell out

The unresolved marital battles of parents’ unhappy marriages can easily resurface when divorced parents seek equal time with their children. In hostile custody situations, the court may order parents to see therapists or mediators to work out their differences. But involving outsiders in personal family matters is time consuming, expensive, and rarely makes either party happy. Furthermore, it can be an additional cross for children to carry when they are, again, involuntarily taken to a counselor’s office and expected to share their feelings without hurting one of their loved parents.

Although divorcing parents often reassure their children that they will forever love them, the children may remember looking at their parents’ happy wedding pictures. They know that mommy and daddy made similar promises to each other a long time ago and now, for some inexplicable reason, they stopped loving each other. Children of divorce need frequent reassurances that they will always be loved by both parents, never abandoned, and that they are not the reason for the divorce. Gently, children of divorce also need to learn that their childhood fantasies of someday seeing daddy or mommy move back home will only happen in their dreams or in delightful wish-fulfilling movies such as “The Parent Trap.”

Children of divorce heal better when divorced parents choose to focus on the wounds of their children, instead of their own. What better affirmation can children experience than to know that even though mommy and daddy are now divorced they would marry each other all over again just to have the wonderful children they have. So, too, may divorced parents always be guided by heartfelt images of their children when they are negotiating how much time they will share in loving, guiding, and cherishing their precious children.

Where there are children, there is a way. Happy Holidays!

96th Street Roundabout One Year Behind Schedule

By Tom Britt

Geist’s first roundabout, which was slated to complete this fall, is one year behind schedule. According to Joel Thurman, a transportation engineer with the Hamilton County Highway Department, acquiring the land rights along 96th Street and Fall Creek Road has taken more time than they thought. Land needs to be purchased by Hamilton County to widen 96th Street east of Mollenkopf Road and the property around the new roundabout itself, most of which is land owned by Geist Harbours Property Owners Association (“GHPOA”). April of next year is the new scheduled start date.

project for contractor bids,” he said. “When we’re dealing with so many landowners, these types of delays are typical.”

The GHPOA board just recently accepted $52,500 for their .221 acres where the current Masthead monument signage resides. Hamilton County originally offered $32,350 which included a $6,600 allowance to move the black granite signage. Dr. John Moore, chairman of the GHPOA grounds committee, said the $6,600 was not enough to move the sign.

He worked with the County to get enough money to rebuild the monument and landscape it on the north exit of the roundabout on the east side of Fall Creek Road.

“You can’t move a sign like that without damaging it,” said Dr. Moore. “We will try to salvage the black granite and electrical as best we can.”

When construction begins next April, 96th Street between Fall Creek Road and Mollenkopf Road will be completely closed. Traffic along Fall Creek Road will be restricted at times, but never closed throughout the project.

“People might have to wait on a flagger or be diverted around parts of the roundabout, but we won’t close Fall Creek at any time,” said Thurman.

“We should have all the land rights we need by next February so we can open up the

The $3.2 million project is expected to be complete next fall.

t’s that time of year again to start thinking about New Year’s resolutions. Some of us begin thinking ahead about what we want to accomplish, whether it be a personal goal or something job related.

One of the top resolutions is to exercise and get into shape. And what’s the key ingredient to make this a success? You! Getting started is the hardest part. We all know that just taking the initial leap is the most difficult part of the journey. Then there’s the decision of how to accomplish your goal. Should you take classes, tackle it yourself or maybe get a personal trainer? There are so many choices. Well, I’m here to try and make sense out of all this, and help you make a decision on what you want to do and where you want to do it. So let’s get started.

Geist Jazzercise’s Heidi Tumbarello offers group classes that are a fusion of jazz, dance, yoga, kickboxing, strength training and stretching.

Close your eyes (well, not literally because then you can’t read this). Think about what makes you happy.

Imagine you’re at a relaxing place. Deep breath in through the nose, exhale through the mouth. Sun salutation: inhale up, exhale lean back, inhale forward bend, relax inhale big step back into forward lunge, exhale. Front foot steps back into plank: hold. Slowly release exhaling your entire body in a reverse push-up position to the floor, inhale push-up onto your elbows into modified cobra, exhale into downward dog, push the heels of your hands into the mat and away from your body. Welcome to Yoga.

Get ready, get set, and go! It’s bootcamp time.

Feet on fire 30 seconds, GO! Shuffle-shuffle, two jumping jacks, run forward and back two times, 1-2-3 squat, 1-2-3 dive in the pool, lift those legs. Go again! Obstacle course: run to the line, ten jumping jacks, back peddle back, ten push-ups, high knees across the floor, feet on fire 30 seconds, Let’s go through two more times! You can do it! Push yourself. It’s only 30 seconds; anyone can do something for only 30 seconds!

Those are just two of several different types of fitness classes offered throughout Carmel and Geist. From beginner to advanced, relaxing to jolting, fun to serious, there is literally a class to fit everyone’s lifestyle and fitness goal. Whether you are ninety or nineteen, there is no age limit to working out and feeling good. Like anything though, your fitness routine should complement your level and ability. A few of the latest and trendy classes offered in the area are Yoga, Pilates, dance classes including Jazzercise and bootcamps. Below I will highlight each of these fitness workouts so you can decide what is best for you.

Fabulous

Fitness Finds For

2010

By Mindy Fleming

Let’s start with an oldie, but goodie, Yoga. Yoga has been around since the beginning of civilization, so they say. The word Yoga means “to unite or integrate” the body, mind and spirit. There are three structures of Yoga: exercise, breathing and meditation, Yoga is great for improving circulation and stimulating the mind.

Melissa Webb, certified Yoga instructor for over seven years, says that Yoga benefits both the body and mind. “Working with yoga poses increases flexibility and strength, along with muscle tone and balance. Internally, yoga poses help cleanse and nourish the various systems of the body, including the nervous system and digestion,” she says.

Yoga is good for everyone. “Yoga is great for those who haven’t exercised much and who aren’t super motivated to ‘hit’ the gym,” Webb explains. “It is also good for those who have taken exercise ‘too’ far and need help to settle down, relax and stretch.”

Webb teaches Hatha Yoga at several local gyms and also offers convenient personal or group sessions. Visit her website at www.breathlifeyoga.com for more information on Yoga and her available classes.

Another mind and body, low-impact fitness class is Pilates.

Pilates started gaining popularity in the 1980’s and in the last ten years has spread like wild fire. Pilates has some similarities to Yoga such as individualized breathing techniques and proper posture, as well as getting your mind in tune with your body. Pilates generally consists of two types, mat work or equipment based Pilates, using an apparatus such as (Continues) the reformer.

Melissa Webb teaches yoga at various studios in Geist as well as in homes and clubhouses in the area.

Pilates workouts.”

(From Previous Page) However, Pilates is still different from Yoga because it focuses more on the core.

“The core consists of a large and vast set of muscles,” explains Sean Bartram, owner of Core Pilates and Fitness in Carmel. “It includes muscles from mid-chest all the way to mid-thigh including muscles of the back, hips, legs and bottom, not just the abdominals.” Pilates creates a long, lean and limber body, Bartram added.

Sean Bartram, owner of Core Pilates and Fitness in Carmel, strengthens the core body muscles using principles and exercises developed

by Joseph H. Pilates.

Sean Bartram is a certified Pilates Method Alliance instructor who opened his Pilates studio three years ago. With no more than three students per class, Bartram creates fun and diverse workouts that change every two or three sessions. Bartram utilizes Joseph H. Pilates (founder of Pilates) reformer machines for his Pilates classes. The reformer is a spring driven platform operated by a pulley system. “We’ve adapted and modified with the times going beyond what Joseph H. Pilates created,” said Bartram. “At Core Pilates we take the principles of Joseph Pilates and build upon them, moving with the times to create an exciting new form of Pilates driven exercise.”

Having taken both Pilates and Yoga, here’s my two cents: Yoga is a great way to relax and regroup your mind and Pilates is a hard-core (no pun intended) workout that can really be challenging.

Pilates mat work instructor for both Vibe Fitness and Lifestyle Family Fitness, Becki Bottoms says the number one reason people take Pilates is to get thin through the middle. “Pilates is a sequence of exercises that concentrate on the core of the body,” Bottoms reiterates. “Mat work Pilates is more difficult than using the reformer, but both are great

In stark contrast to Yoga and Pilates, there’s bootcamps.

They’re tough, they’re crazy, and they’re worth every penny if you want a good, no, great workout. I have come to find that there are two types of bootcamp classes in the Carmel and Geist area: the extreme, military method and the more traditional classroom format. The YMCA in Fishers offers the Extreme Bootcamp class. “Our bootcamp is a little unusual; it has a true military edge,” said Dave Desmarais, bootcamp instructor for the Y. “Starting at 5:15 a.m., we are always outside, rain or shine; hot or cold; snow or sleet.”

Desmarais continued to say his class is not for the weak of

mind or body. He starts the class with a 1 or 2 mile warmup run, while carrying a weighted backpack and singing cadence. “Our class is not for many people,” Desmarais explained. “It is as much about your brain as it is about your body. It is a true test of their commitment.”

Morris also went on to say, “In one minute of dancing you probably hit every muscle group. Dance is considered a high-velocity workout, in addition to lowimpact and smooth on the joints.”

Trish Delaby, a Carmel resident and YMCA member, started bootcamp in the Spring of 2009 after she realized she would need to buy a bigger pair of jeans. She refused, got serious and has since dropped four pant sizes and is beyond where she thought she would be. “I love bootcamp,” Delaby laughed. “It is hard physically as well as mentally. You keep growing and extending yourself more than you would on your own.” When I asked her how she could get up at the crack of dawn, Delaby said, “I’m back home around 6:30, showered, drinking my coffee and waiting for the kids to get up. The time works perfect for a mom of two toddlers.” Delaby also included running and a nutrition plan in her daily routine which helped her achieve her goals.

This is one of my favorite types of classes. Dance classes are truly fun. I don’t consider myself that coordinated, and I keep coming back. In fact, one Monday morning I went to the gym and worked out. I went back that Monday afternoon just to dance. Call me crazy, but it was worth it!

Not all bootcamp classes are this extreme. Shurell Robinson, an ACE Certified Group Fitness and bootcamp instructor says, “My bootcamp class takes your heart rate through peaks and valleys, which increases your cardio endurance and lean muscle mass and decreases your body fat. I also offer three different levels (base moves, level two and extreme level 3), so there is a fit for everyone.” Robinson also says that interval workouts are so important for those who need to push through their plateaus.

Jazzercise is another dance fitness program that is a fusion of jazz, dance, yoga, kickboxing, strength training and stretching. “Jazzercise incorporates a little bit of everything,” said Heidi Tumbarello, owner of Geist Jazz.

“Jazzercise is a one hour class comprised of 30 minutes cardio and 30 minutes strength and stretching. We offer not only the traditional Jazzercise classes, but also a Body Sculpting class with no cardio and a Step Jazzercise class that utilizes step routines in the cardio portion.”

In my opinion, bootcamp classes are tough and challenging.

They want to test your limits and they are great for those who want to burn fat and get their butts kicked. If you love to sweat, you’ll love bootcamp.

Moving right along, we move to the notorious dance classes.

You think it’s not for you? You’re probably wrong. Try it, you’ll like it! The popular TV reality/variety shows, Dancing with the Stars and So You Think You Can Dance, helped dance turn exercise. Most dance classes incorporate dance moves into short, 2-5 minute segments choreographed to upbeat, fun songs. Zumba integrates Latin dance moves, such as the Tango and Cha Cha, with latin music. Other dance classes might focus more on hip-hop moves and music or even belly dancing.

(Continues)

“It is so much fun,” said Becky Ding, Carmel resident and regular at LA|Fitness’ Latin Impact dance class. “It makes time go by so fast and I just love the instructor.” Shantel Morris has been dancing for over 20 years and is a dance instructor at both the Fishers YMCA and LA|Fitness. “Dance is a good way to start if you haven’t been to a class in a while,” said Morris. “The nice thing, however, it is good for everyone … teens and seniors and at any size. There are no tools or gimmicks. Come as you are and do as much or as little as you want.”

trainers, a nutritionist and massage therapist on staff,” says Alicia Wood, owner of Vibe. Vibe also has a vast selection of unique classes, including several dance classes, some of which are taught to “live” music. “The one-on-one personal attention makes us unique,” explains Wood. “We cater to each person individually. We find what approach is best and help them achieve the desired results.”

(From Previous Page) Most clubs have several different types of classes to choose from such as step aerobics, senior fitness, cycling, weight resistance, conditioning, water aerobics and kickboxing just to name a few. Not looking to take a class, but still want to join a gym and get in shape?

Check out the chart of clubs I created to help you decide what gym is best for you.

From small, boutique clubs to large gyms with lots of space.

Heather Hewitt and Terri Casey, both Geist residents and Vibe patrons, say they love the individualized assistance from the instructors, trainers and owner. “They look at me as an individual, not just another number,” explained Casey.

“They are all just lovely women – like family.”

Another type of gym that is becoming more popular are places open 24/7 like Anytime Fitness. With our busy lifestyles, convenience is a priority. Along with a great monthly fee and easy access day or night via your personal key, there are no excuses to starting your New Year’s Resolution.

Vibe Fitness is a “boutique” fitness club that just opened their doors in May of 2009.

Following a holistic approach, Vibe offers all the elements of a health and fitness club in addition to various spa services.

“We have personal

“With over 1200 locations nationwide, you can workout any time of the day even when you are on vacation,” explains Greg McBride, manager of Anytime Fitness at Geist. “Our facilities have up-to-date cardio and weight equipment and access to ACE certified personal trainers.” McBride says there are three main factors in joining a gym: location, time and money. Anytime Fitness caters to all three factors by offering neighborhood locations at both Geist and Hazel Dell Crossing in Noblesville, 24-hour access and an extremely affordable rate of about $1 a day.

Tired of Sitting at a Desk All Day?

Mainstream gyms (or big box gyms) such as Lifetime Fitness, Cardinal Fitness and Lifestyle Fitness are more wellknown and are attended by many. So why are these clubs so popular? More than likely it’s because of their convenience.

As a LA|Fitness member myself, I joined for a few reasons: 1. They have great classes, 2. They have child care, 3. It is affordable, and 4. It is close to home.

Change your working position by standing up and walking when you work at a TreadDesk.

Carmel resident Michelle West also says, “Convenience and price are the main reasons I joined Lifestyle Family Fitness.

The Kids Zone was a must as well.”

When walking at 1.0 mph most people can type and talk on the phone just like when sitting.

The TreadDesk is a combination of an adjustable height desk and a unique treadmill which gives office workers the option to stand up and walk while working at their desk.

Want to play tennis? Join Five Seasons. Want to involve your kids in activities? Join the YMCA or Lifetime Fitness.

Want to just lift weights and do some cardio? Join Anytime Fitness. Want just a Pilates or Yoga class, join Core Pilates or Vibe Fitness. Each club is unique in their own way, offering a little less or a little more. I can truly say there is a gym to fit everyone’s lifestyle, that’s because I’ve been a member of the YMCA, Lifetime Fitness, Five Seasons and now LA|Fitness. You can say I’ve gotten around. We are very lucky to live in an area that offers so many choices.

Fall Creek Trail Brings Pleasure, Some Pain on Indianapolis Waterworks property have become hot spots for fishermen and partiers alike, some of whom have camped overnight, left behind trash and debris, abused the area, burned campfires and participated in illegal activity, all in plain sight of neighbors.

Because the Department of Waterworks is owned by the City of Indianapolis, the trail is also under the jurisdiction of the Indianapolis Parks Department. However, the trail also serves the neighbors of Masthead, some of whom are forced to witness and experience the questionable activity firsthand, which has included nudity, abusive language, illegal substance abuse and unsanitary conditions.

Ken Pendleton (right) with his wife Linda on the Fall Creek Trail near the Geist dam. (Below) Residents attended a GHPOA board meeting this fall to voice their concerns over the activities they are witnessing from their backyards which abut the trail.

Cheryl McLaughlin, Masthead resident, believes that the safety of neighbors and trail users is at stake. “I have seen people climbing the dam that may or may not know how to swim, and I’ve seen fires burning well past dusk. It’s definitely an issue of safety,” she says.

By Michelle Momper It’s no surprise that there are walking trails in the Geist Reservoir area that provide resident nature lovers the opportunity to soak up surrounding beauty. But for some area neighbors, the panoramic view has gone through a surprising, and unwelcome, transformation.

McLaughlin is part of a group of residents who initially presented their concerns to the Geist Harbor Property Association in August. “We made it clear that we would support a greenway trail concept,” explains McLaughlin. “We put much time and effort into coming up with an alternative route that would increase the safety of residents while maintaining a trail for hikers to enjoy,” she adds.

“We were promised a follow-up meeting in mid-October, but we have yet to see that happen,” McLaughlin adds. Because of the lack of response and the difficulty she sees in patrolling the area, McLaughlin sees two solutions: “Either close the trail, or create an alternate trail that does not abut resident’s houses or allow unsupervised access.”

Over the past year, a section of the Fall Creek Trail near the Geist dam has become the destination spot for some uninhibited visitors, and neighbors say there’s more than nature walks going on.

“This trail itself is beautiful,” says Ken Pendleton, Masthead resident who has been an advocate for the trail for several years. “It is a fantastic amenity,” he says.

“Unfortunately, people found the site before proper signage was in place, and so it got off on a bad foot,” says Pendleton.

Pendleton adds that his wife has personally picked up the area in question, which has included raw chicken bait left behind by fishermen.

“It’s my understanding that the Parks Department expects some day to connect this trail to the upper Fall Creek Trail,” says Pendleton. “The goal is neighborhood connectivity, so that residents can burn calories, not carbon. In the near future, we’ll be connected to businesses at 79th Street, which will be great for walkers, runners and bikers.”

Paula Freund, Public Information Officer for the Parks Department, agrees that the trail is an important part of a larger 22

community. “It is a great connection to tie the Geist area with the rest of the trail,” she says.

“We don’t approve of the incidents in question, but we’ve increased the signage in the area, and we have increased IMPD patrols. We really do expect an entirely different experience with the trail next year,” Freund adds. Freund also said that Deputy Director Don Colvin has been involved with the trail process and will continue to be. “We are very aware of the concerns of the residents, and we will continue to work with the parties involved,” Freund says.

But for now, the future of the trail lies in the hands of Waterworks Executive Director Matthew Klein. Klein, who is also an environmental lawyer, appreciates the complicated situation and hopes to make the best decision for the people of Geist and Marion County.

“I have a great understanding and respect for greenways, and I am also sensitive about protecting our water,” says Klein, who has served on the Board of Directors of the Greenways Foundation, and is a previous member of the Greenway Development Committee.

We also need to balance that with the needs of Waterworks as a provider of clean, safe drinking water to people of Indiana,� he adds. “None of us wants to see something bad happen on the trail and I worry about that. I want to protect people,� he says.

community that there would be some activity going on in the area,� explains Cain. “With security concerns, Ken wanted to make sure there was still access to enjoy the view. Since the water company is owned by the city, I thought this would be a win-win for the community to have these two city departments work something out.�

Cain assisted in getting the parties involved talking with each other in order to start a dialogue. “I think at this point, the ideal would be that the trail is patrolled aggressively, and that the park rules are followed,� she says.

“My hope is that we soon have a great trail,� says Ginny Cain, City County Councillor for Marion County, District Five. Cain became involved in the trail issue after being asked by Pendleton to help. “Ken approached me when I was a brand new City County Councillor for the area, and Waterworks had notified the

“For me it’s the patrolling part that’s tricky,� says Cain. “I am hoping we can reach a resolution that can satisfy neighbors and still allow for walkers and hikers to enjoy the scenery as intended. I see my role as being a facilitator to get the involved parties together to work toward a solution that is good for the city as well as the residents by the trail,� added Cain.

Klein, who expects to make a decision regarding the fate of the trail before the end of the year, invites residents to voice concerns or opinions by emailing him at mtk@indy.gov.
