Avon Parks Set Summer Schedule Writer / Melissa Gibson
Avon Town Park in partnership with Washington Township Park (WTP) is gearing up for another summer filled with family-friendly events, challenges and unique experiences. Perhaps one event members of the community look forward to all winter is the Avon Farmers Market starting Tuesdays, June 6 through the end of September. “It’s a growing market and people no longer
buy and leave, but they stay and mingle with their neighbors,” Parks Programmer and event Coordinator, Terri Fisher says.
This event is in conjunction with WTP and is held in the back of the park at the amphitheater.
Each week, notice the subtle changes, including different street musicians, a local non-profit guest booth and A Critters Chance — an exotic and domestic animal rescue organization.
“The best part about having the concerts at the amphitheater is participants can enjoy live music in a nature setting,” WTP Director, Lora Lacey says. “The view that you encounter down here in our lower park is unlike anything in Hendricks County. As the sun is setting in the sky, we get a mixture of blue, orange and pink skies that cascade off of the pond. Most can’t understand it until they experience it.”
Then, mid-June, the Concert by the Creek series begins, featuring a variety of musicians including country, jazz and party tunes. 6 / AVON MAGAZINE / JUNE 2017 / AvonMagazine.com
The evenings are well attended and include food trucks, beer vendors and activities for the kids. Weather permitting, WTP leaves the Splash Pad on across from the Pavilion for some water fun.
Concerts are currently scheduled for June 16, July 28 and Aug. 25.
Thousands come from all over the state for the annual Hendricks County Rib Fest, and the event just keeps getting bigger. On June 24, the traditional rib contest will return “It always brings so many different groups and include “celebrity” judges and bragging of people to the park,” Lacey says. “Last rights for the best ribs and best sauce. Local year, we had a torrential down poor 20 businesses and organizations set up booths minutes before the concert started and and sponsor games for kids and desserts we debated on canceling. I’m glad that we to compliment the ribs.

Participants receive a custom Rib Run t-shirt and medal as well as free tickets for food and drinks at the Rib Fest. Also added in 2017 is the “Sloppy Rib Run.” Athletes are required to eat five ribs at each kilometer and knock 20 seconds off their personal time for every rib devoured. Fisher says that combining this popular event with Avon’s Balloon Glow was “a natural fit.” Six balloons will be set up on the far end of the property with three offering tethered rides to registered participants and, as in years past, provide a glowing lights show.

RUSSELL “TWISTER” GARRISON THE NICEST TROUBLEMAKER YOU’LL EVER MEET Writer / Christy Heitger-Ewing
In Russell “Twister” Garrison’s 97 years, he’s been a husband, a father, a teacher, a mechanic, a Navy veteran, a district supervisor, a roller skater, a golfer, a philanthropist, a storyteller and a poet. Above all, he’s an inspiration. Garrison was born in a tiny Kentucky town that consisted of a general store, church and school.
“We lived outside of Cane Valley,” Garrison says. “In fact, we lived so far out that when we went hunting, we had to come toward town.”
the ball and run through all these men and circle those posts at the end, run through them again and come back.”
He got the nickname “Twister” over eight decades ago when he was riding home from school on his horse.
Garrison did as he was told, then asked how he had done.
“A big guy in a baseball cap stopped and asked me to come out for the football team,” Garrison recalls. “I’d never heard of football, so I asked him what you do. He said to take AvonMagazine.com / JUNE 2017 / AVON MAGAZINE / 11
“Fine,” the man said. “Now try doing it without the horse.” Garrison found himself twisting like mad to avoid getting tackled. From that day forward,
the name “Twister” stuck. In fact, according to his wife, Barkley, though they lived most of their lives in the bluegrass state, no one in Kentucky knows his real name. Now celebrating 76 years together, the two met while attending Campbellsville High School. Garrison had a reputation for being a troublemaker, and Barkley’s parents forbid her to date him. But she was enamored. The couple liked to roller skate and dance (Barkley loved the jitterbug while Twister preferred the slow, romantic songs). Before graduating high school, Twister got sent to war. “When he came home in his Navy uniform, I made up my mind that I wasn’t going to let him go back single,” says Barkley, who ran off and married Twister without her parent’s permission. When she returned home after getting hitched, her mother threatened to have the union annulled. But Barkley replied, “If you do, I’ll just marry him again.” “You have to understand—I never talked back to my mother,” says Barkley, now 95. “But I was in love.” The troublemaking stories weren’t completely off base. To fill his time as a youth, Garrison admits to climbing atop the roof of the schoolhouse and covering the chimney so that the structure filled with smoke. He was also caught rolling cigarettes with his brother behind the outhouse. One Halloween, a neighbor’s porch swing mysteriously ended up on a telephone wire. Garrison can’t fathom kids today who whine about boredom because he and his siblings easily entertained themselves. “Our favorite sport was using a pitch fork to see who could throw a cow pie the highest up on the barn and make it stick the longest,” says Garrison. “Dad always said that one of us would make a good politician.” Barkley gravitated towards Garrison’s softer side — the one who kindly picked up hitchhikers and loaned them money. The one who went into the grocery store, bought a handful of stemmed roses, and sat in the parking lot, waiting to see who came out looking like they needed a pick-me-up. The one who lovingly took care of his sickly father-in-law. The one who went into prisons to chat with inmates. The one who openly and frequently invited strangers to Christ. Garrison spent six years in the Navy. Stationed in 1940 in Pensacola, Florida, for training, he then was transferred to Adak, Alaska, where he was an airplane mechanic. Garrison earned his diploma the year after he and Barkley’s only child, Fran, was born. He worked for the Tennessee Gas Transmission Company. He also owned Twister’s Service Station before he was hired 12 / AVON MAGAZINE / JUNE 2017 / AvonMagazine.com
as a conservation officer and later promoted to Director of Law Enforcement for the Department of Fish and Wildlife in Louisville. “With all of Dad’s jobs, we moved 23 times by the time I was 13,” Fran says. “We lived like gypsies. But it never fazed me because my parents always made roots at home.” Garrison raves that his wife got so adept at moving that she could pack up a house, move and have the curtains hung the same night. After Garrison retired in 1981, he volunteered at a golf course striping balls for the driving range. He shot a 70 on his 70th birthday — par for the course. “As the years went by, it got a whole lot easier to shoot my age,” quips Garrison, who started writing poetry in his spare time. “He’d wake me up at night and ask, ‘How does this sound?’” recalls Barkley with a smirk. “It didn’t always sound great when I was dead tired.” Garrison has been an Avon resident since 2014, when he moved into Countryside Meadows, an assisted living facility on N. Dan Jones Road. He has endured 28 kidney stones, a triple bypass,

numerous stints and balloons, two plastic hips and a pace maker. “We call him the bionic man,” Fran says. Perhaps “iconic man” is more appropriate given his legion of admirers he’s garnered through the years. When Garrison worked for the Department of Fish and Wildlife, he taught conservation in elementary schools. In 1961, he visited a sixth-grade classroom where he met a tough-as-nails 12-year old named Alex Dunn. “I was a junkyard boy from the inner city who loved to fight,” Dunn says. “But Twister treated me with respect. He let me know I mattered, that I was important.” Dunn remembered Garrison telling him that fishing wasn’t about catching fish, it was about sitting by a pond with a pole in his hand, discovering who he was and what he wanted to do with his life. “Meeting Twister changed my attitude and changed my life,” Dunn says. “I credit him for helping me become the man I am today.”

YEAR AFTER YEAR, PERENNIALS KEEP COMING BACK! Writer / Carrie Petty
This is the time of year to plant flowers! Flowers bring extra beauty and happiness into our world, and the best kind of flowering plant is the kind that keeps coming back year after year — the perennial. Growing perennials is one of the easiest ways to garden. I have more than 40 varieties of perennials in my yard, I just love them because they give me a great ‘cutting’ selection all growing season long in which to make beautiful floral arrangements. In the summer months, entertaining and gardening life go hand in hand.
PURCHASING PERENNIALS
SUCCESSION PLANTING
When one plant is finished blooming and the last bloom fades, I always design my gardens so that another plant begins to bloom. This keeps the garden in perpetual motion, with color consistently ever-present. It is called, succession planting. Another great tip is to design the flower garden with plants low in the front and high in the back. I also like to repeat a perennial three times in the garden plot, spaced apart from each other but in equal distances, this way there is easy rhythm in the design and the eye move freely through the plot. This is more of an English gardening technique.
DIGGING A NEW HOME
Different sizes of containers will yield more or less bloom. The bigger the plastic pot, the older the plant, thus, more blooms. Check the roots for an established root system with lots of little root ends showing. If roots have become root bound, which looks like rope wrapped around the base of the plant, choose another specimen. A root-bound plant has been there awhile, so there is more of a chance to bring home disease, too. Also, believe it or not, I often smell the soil. It should be earthy and fresh smelling, not sour or decaying in smell.
I give perennials a good watering when I get them home. Then, trim off any tired foliage or blooms. I like to plant in the lowest heat portion of the day, usually in the morning. Roll the round edges of the plastic container on the ground to loosen the soil, and then tip the pot to gently lift out the root ball into your hand. Check the root system, claw away some of the dirt so that the roots become loose and free to branch out when planted in the soil.
In addition, when picking the right plants to purchase from your local nursery, check the foliage for any disease. Look for the red spider mites or white aphids, which kind of look like cotton. If there is any indication, find another flowered friend!
Place root ball in the prepared hole. The top of the dirt from the pot should be level with the top of the hole at soil grade. Backfill the dirt into the hole and gently press to firm up the plant. This also helps remove any air pockets. Water in well.

The Flip Zone Partners With Special Olympics Indiana GYMNASTICS FACILITY IS CREATING PROGRAMS FOR KIDS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS
18 / AVON MAGAZINE / JUNE 2017 / AvonMagazine.com
Writer / Heather Chastain
A Hendricks County gymnastics facility is making a difference in the lives of kids with special needs. The Flip Zone in Plainfield, in conjunction with Special Olympics Indiana, has created programs designed to help those with autism, cerebral palsy and down syndrome. Owner Stephanie Strout says working with the Special Olympics was important to her. “Gymnastics used to be a big part of the Special Olympics and it kind of died off, so I wanted to help bring it back,” she says. The students participate in rhythmic gymnastics. Students use ribbons, hoops and balls in a floor routine. Currently, they have nine girls enrolled in their program. “We’ve learned a lot about how we can help these children, and you get goosebumps when you work with them,” Strout says. Beth Schweigel, with Special Olympics Indiana, says working with Stephanie and the Flip Zone was an obvious choice for their organization. “Stephanie and The Flip Zone have always been big supporters of special needs and have often given a portion of the profits from their Flip Events to various special needs organizations,” Schweigel says. “Stephanie and her staff are awesome to work with and have done a lot of great things for the special needs students and athletes that they work with. We are very fortunate to have them working with our athletes for Special Olympics.” In February, The Flip Zone hosted an event called Flip for a Cause. That event raised $1,000 for Special Olympics Indiana. Coach Stephanie helps a future all-star.
However, gymnastics isn’t just for girls. Strout says she enjoys working with boys too. Her son, who plays football, takes gymnastics classes. Strout says she can see the difference in his agility on the playing field. They also have ninja warrior competitions for kids. “We want to get kids off the couch,” Strout says. “We have programs for every level of child and fitness ability.” The Flip Zone also has a competitive gymnastics program led by Irving Noches. Strout calls him, “the best kept secret in Indiana.” AvonMagazine.com / JUNE 2017 / AVON MAGAZINE / 19
Noches was the National Team Director in El Salvador. He approached Strout two years ago about coaching at her facility, and Strout immediately got to work. She hired an immigration attorney, contacted USA Gymnastics, and had coaches from all over the country write letters of support. “He got his approval to come to the U.S. in one week,” Strout says proudly. “We had our first national qualifier and it had everything to do with him and the coaching and programs he designed.” Community involvement is a high priority of Strout’s as well. She hosts field trips and birthday parties regularly at The Flip Zone. They are also going to have their eleventh annual community day on Saturday, July 15. The event is called "Flip into Fitness." It’s a free event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Reaching the Heart.... Teaching the Mind.
There will be demonstrations and open gym for gymnastics. You can also expect food, vendors and the fire and police departments on site to talk to the kids. Businesses interested in participating in the event should contact Strout by calling 317-838-0667.

TRAILBLAZING: THE B&O TRAIL CONTINUES TO GROW Writer / Christy Heitger-Ewing
Back in the fall of 1992, Diana Virgil, an accountant by trade but a biking enthusiast at heart, attended a meeting in Speedway about abandoned railroad corridors. The meeting inspired her to get involved in creating a trail system for bikers, walkers and runners, and she began educating herself about the 65 miles of abandoned trails extending through Marion, Hendricks, Putnam and Parke counties. In 1994, Rail Corridor Development, Inc. (now B&O Trail Association, Inc. or BOTA) and Hendricks County Trail Development, Inc. (which Virgil and her husband, Hall, formed) combined forces to convert the former rail line to a community rail-trail.
In 2005, 16 miles of the abandoned CSX railroad in Hendricks were purchased. Construction began in 2007 on the sections from Raceway Road to Ronald Reagan Parkway and 300N to SR 267 (now Green Street). New construction on two miles commenced in the summer of 2016 at Green Street, which expanded the trail westward. Crews paved that section and opened it during the winter. In addition, developers erected an impressive bridge over White Lick Creek — one whose design was given a lot of thought. When Virgil was researching aspects of trail building, she visited several bridges. “Years ago, I was on a Crawfordsville Trail Bridge and had to stand on my tippy toes to 22 / AVON MAGAZINE / JUNE 2017 / AvonMagazine.com
look over the creek, and I didn’t like that,” Virgil says. “I wanted gaps so that folks could stop on the bridge and admire the peaceful creek and trees on either side.” In addition, contractors installed a signal so that pedestrians can push a button to stop traffic before crossing Green Street. Virgil says the most common question folks have concerns parking. Thankfully, a new 10-space parking lot will also be

constructed this spring on the east side of Green Street, in front of the Brownsburg Rotary Club shelter. Designers will spread native seeds along the trails so that exercisers can enjoy flowering bushes and bursts of color. Virgil notes that when you’re on the trails, surrounded by nature, stress fades and moods lift. “In fact, when you get far enough on the crossroads, noise is removed,” Virgil says. “It’s nothing but peace and serenity.” Avon resident Reena Niper agrees. She gravitates to the B&O Trail because it’s a quiet, beautiful place to run. “I enjoy the sounds of the birds, the native flowers and running over White Lick Creek,” Niper says. Community members use the trail not only to exercise and walk their dogs but also for things like geocaching, a treasure hunting game that involves hiding and finding hidden treasures using a phone’s GPS.
The trails are also used for running, walking, biking and even horse-riding events. The 25th anniversary of the B&O Bicycle Tour (sponsored by Hendricks Regional Health) is always held on National Trails Day, the first Saturday of June. Designed to introduce families to the joy of trail use, participants can choose to ride the 10, 25, 45 or 62-mile route through Hendricks County. “People on all four routes will get to use the newly paved section, including the bridge over White Lick Creek,” says Virgil, who wondered years ago if a trail system would ever make it Indiana. “People who lived near the rails were afraid. They didn’t like the idea of strangers being near their property,” Virgil explains. After the creation of the Monon, however, Virgil witnessed a shift in attitude from Hoosiers. “Once people saw all the great things trails could offer, they were on board,” says Virgil,
noting that whenever she’s on the trail, she’s struck by all the friendly faces and offers to help. Some use leaf blowers to rid the trail of fallen leaves and debris. Others pick up litter and do trail maintenance. In March, Brian Payne, of the Central Indiana Community Foundation, spoke at the B&O Trail’s annual meeting about creating a new vision for central Indiana trails. Payne spoke about the effort that is underway to develop a $100 million vision that could potentially include an extension of the B&O Trail into downtown Indy. At the meeting, BOTA board member Richard Vonnegut, from the Indiana Rails to Trails Council, mentioned two key state bills — HB 1174 and SB 494 —t hat are currently in the hands of a legislature summer study committee. If the committees pass them next year, they will positively affect the future of trails in Indiana. The Bicentennial Trail will ultimately connect to the B&O at 300 North. Currently, there is no trail construction
going west past 500 East. Last year, the Hendricks County Parks Department helped clear a section further west. Virgil urges people to donate so they can start clearing 500 East going west and open it as a rustic trail until they get the money to pave it. “We haven’t decided how far we’ll go,” Virgil says. “At least a mile, maybe more.” Tom Klein, Avon Town Manager, says the long-term goal is to have a trail system that will connect everyone. “Linear parks are the big thing,” Klein says. “People want to see [trails] in their communities because they want to get outside to walk and bike.” For more information, visit botrail.org.

4 TREATMENTS PROTECT ALL SEASON-LONG!
A GATHERING PLACE FOR FUN, FITNESS AND FRIENDSHIPS Writer / Christy Heitger-Ewing . Photography provided by Hendricks Regional YMCA
Chuck and Carolyn Culp were dealt a double whammy when they were both diagnosed with cancer. Thankfully, both conquered the disease, though surgeries and treatments took their toll on the couple’s bodies, leaving them wobbly and weak. Motivated to achieve optimal health, two years ago they joined the LIVESTRONG program offered through the Hendricks Regional Health YMCA, designed to empower cancer survivors by improving their muscle mass and strength. The program improved their stamina and stability, reduced their waistlines and weight, and increased their energy and enthusiasm for physical fitness. Eager to continue in their health journey, they joined the YMCA, located at 301 Satori Parkway. Carolyn also enrolled in the club’s Diabetes Prevention Program. “This is the best I’ve ever felt,” Carolyn says. “I’m thankful the Y has a variety of exercise programs, so I’m never bored.” Set up like a condo where the Hendricks Regional Health YMCA owns their half and the hospital owns theirs, this partnership enables the entities to collaborate in many areas. For instance, they hold a free class called “Wake Up” that teaches youth and families about nutritious eating, healthy snacking and physical fitness.
Carolyn & Chuck Culp
The 12-week LIVESTRONG program is another offering. Other benefits include a 30-day free membership following surgery to encourage patients to commit to their rehabilitation exercises. “Our partnership is very unique,” says Mary Beth Carmichael, Community Vice President of the Hendricks Regional Health YMCA. “In fact, we are only one of three in the country with such an integrated partnership.” Sports programs, including basketball, tee-ball, soccer and flag football, draw great interest, as do ballet and taekwondo. Other classes include Zumba, kickboxing, yoga, cycle, aerobics, dance fusion, cardio hip-hop, step interval and BOSU body. Swim lessons, however, are by far the facility’s most popular program. When this club location opened nearly six years ago, they had 12 water fitness classes a week. Now, they provide more than 30, including Shallow Water Aerobics, Deep Water Aerobics, Aqua Zumba and Arthritis Management. “The baby boomer population — or, as we call them, ‘active older adults’ — is really growing,” Carmichael says. “Water classes benefit them greatly because it’s kinder on the joints.” The facility also boasts a 9,000 sq. ft. wellness center with state-ofthe-art strength and cardiovascular equipment, athletic fields, two full-court gymnasiums, indoor rock climbing wall, family center with play structure, an outdoor walking trail and a teen and senior center.
Partnering with doctors in the community helps connect the dots of health and wellness. “A lot of doctors encourage their patients to lose weight, but they aren’t equipped to help them do it,” Carmichael says. “That’s where we come in.” Physicians give their patients wellness referrals to the Y, good for a free two-week trial membership, thereby jumpstarting their fitness regimen. According to Carmichael, 80 percent of those who join are eager to reap the benefits of the wellness center. “When you become a Y member, we pair you with a wellness coach who guides you and keeps you accountable,” Carmichael says. “You also get two free appointments with a registered nutritionist, who supplies tips on making healthy food choices and implementing portion control.” Childcare is another area where the YMCA shines. Separated by age (infants, toddlers, preschoolers and elementary students), the child-to-adult ratio for infants is 1:3 and for school-age boys and girls, 1:10. Toys are washed twice a day and the play area bleached monthly. They even have rockers for nursing moms to use. Another wonderful perk for members with children is the ability to leave the building for up to two hours to run errands, child-free.

“It can be difficult to shop with little ones,” Carmichael says. “This provides parents a bit of relief.”
That’s one reason the club hosts golf outings and fun runs throughout the year.
In addition, starting this summer, for just $25 per month, the Y is adding a “plus-one” membership option, ideal for a nanny, grandparent or college student who may accompany a younger child to the facility.
“Last year, we had more than 1,500 people participate in the 5K Gobble Gallop on Thanksgiving Day,” Carmichael says. “That registration money underwrites a lot of the scholarships we give out.”
Summer camps, which start the day after area schools let out and run through the end of July, are for children ages 3-15.
In addition, the Avon High School Student Government annually hosts Avon Night Light Glow 5K Run/Walk and Community Fair to benefit Hendricks Regional Health Foundation Prenatal and Pediatric Care.
“We do cookouts, walks, biking,” Carmichael says. “It’s far better than indulging in non-stop screen time.”
“Some people think the Y is a place to swim and that’s it,” The Y also provides year-round before and after school childcare for Carmichael says. “We’re so much more.” Plainfield, Avon and Wayne Township students. Yes, there are classes, camps and camaraderie. There’s also the The YMCA, a non-profit charity, never turns anyone away due to an formation of friendships, fitness and a fortitude of spirit. Carolyn, for one, is amazed by the impact the Y has had on her life. inability to pay. “We offer scholarships for families who can’t afford to come because we want everyone to have a Y experience, regardless of their financial situation,” Carmichael says.
Parents have the option of enrolling their children (ages 3-15) in a variety of summer camps. Traditional camp involves archery, arts & crafts, hiking, fort building and environmental education. Sports camp is ideal for students who are looking to learn new skills on the fields and on the court. Enrichment camp gives kids three hours of daily intensive instruction in a designated area such as pottery, art and Legos. All campers get a chance to swim in the indoor pool at least twice a week. Half and full-day options enable students to attend all summer long. Alternatively, parents can pick and choose which weeks to send their child. Daily camp hours run from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m., with extra hours available from 6:30-9 a.m. and 4-6 p.m. For more information, contact Katie Teal, Program Director at 317-771-0015 or kteal@indymca.org.
“I’m grateful to be a part of The Hendricks Regional Health YMCA family,” she says.

WTHR ANCHOR, NAOMI PESCOVITZ, IS RIGHT AT HOME REPORTING IN INDY
WTHR anchor and reporter, Naomi Pescovitz, is a proud North Central High School alumna.
Writer / Matt Keating Photographer / Brian Brosmer
Eyewitness News Weekend Anchor Naomi Pescovitz believes if she can relate to a story, her viewers will too. It's a belief system that has paid off. After three years at WTHR, Pescovitz has garnered a large following of loyal TV viewers who also follow her on Facebook, Twitter and other social media outlets. Viewers relate to her and her interest in a wide variety of people and stories. “I have really enjoyed finding ways to share a good story with people and make viewers relate to it,” Pescovitz says. “I've been able to do fun stories such as riding in a stunt plane and also more meaningful stories such as an interview I did with former Colts Cheerleader Tessa David who had a stroke but still keep pushing herself to be the best she could be. I love stories where people are able to bounce back from a setback. It's so inspiring.”
Pescovitz also loves continuously updating stories and keeping in touch with her viewers. “I follow news all the time, even when I have time off,” Pescovitz says. “I'm a news junkie. I love stories and getting as much information as I can. Social media is a really important part of that. It gives you an immediate connection with your viewers.” Pescovitz first became interested in journalism when she was in middle school.
speaking engagements at North Central,” Pescovitz says. “I love the school and enjoy going back there. It's always been a special place.” Pescovitz later graduated from the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University with a degree in Journalism and International Studies. She was a reporter, associate producer, anchor and news director for Northwestern’s Emmy awardwinning Northwestern News Network.
Pescovitz, a North Central High School graduate, earned an International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma from one of the first IB programs in the state. She was also the co-editor of North Central’s Northerner yearbook and the captain of the Pantherettes dance team.
“I knew I enjoyed writing, I liked people, and I thought television seemed like a lot fun,” Pescovitz says. “When I talk to younger people wanting to pursue a career in broadcasting, I recommend they do an internship with a smaller television market. You can shadow a reporter because you learn to do a lot more by yourself and have more opportunities to be on television. You can also make your own resume reel and get more experience working on stories.”
“I will drop other things I'm doing for
After college, Pescovitz worked at KULR-8
“I wanted to be the editor of a fashion magazine when I was younger,” she says.

in Billings, Montana. She was also a reporter at WIBW in Topeka, Kansas. She moved on later to be a reporter at KVOA in Tucson, Arizona. While working for the station, she was first on the scene when Congress Woman Gabrielle Giffords was shot while meeting with constituents at a local grocery store.
fast as I can,” Pescovitz says. “I'm a true foodie. I love reading about restaurants and finding out what they serve.” Pescovitz loves Garden Table, Fat Dan’s, Bruge, Flatwater, Open Society, Café Patachou and Public Greens in Broad Ripple. She is also a fan of Blue Beard, Bru Burger, Mesh and Union 50.
Pescovitz went to work for KSTP, the ABC affiliate in Minneapolis, St. Paul, next, where she was a reporter and fill-in anchor. While in Minneapolis, Pescovitz covered a wide range of stories. During her time there, The Minnesota Medical Association and LifeSource, the organ donation organization in the upper-Midwest, honored her for her medical reporting. When the opportunity to return home to Indianapolis came up and work at WTHR, she leapt at the chance. “It's been great to come home and feel connected to Indianapolis again,” Pescovitz says. “I've loved the way the city has grown so much over the years.” Pescovitz says there are so many great local stories like a father and son who ran The Mini-Marathon together, and Runner Tom Harleman, who ran the Mini in full race gear in support of Race Car Driver John Andretti, who is fighting stage-4 colon cancer. “There are so many inspiring stories of Hoosiers doing positive things to help each other,” Pescovitz says. Pescovitz herself is dedicated to women’s health issues, particularly finding a cure for breast and ovarian cancers. When she’s not working, Pescovitz enjoys spending time with family and friends and indulging in her favorite pastime — checking out new restaurants in Indianapolis. “I love getting to the new places as TownePost.com / JUNE 2017 / INDY METRO
“If people are looking at what I ordered, I know it has been a successful meal,” she laughs. “It's creating order envy. I also like finding out what the popular meals are and what the servers enjoy. I love restaurants and how the food is prepared. Indianapolis has so many wonderful restaurants to choose from. I never have to worry about finding a great one, and I love the suggestions from viewers.”
REAL LIFE MEETS REAL GARDENING IN THE CITY Writer / Carrie Petty
This little boy was not going to help. He was not there to plant anything. He was stuck in the midst of his own anger and life trials. Damien was in the third grade but appeared to be older than the other boys. His shirt was navy blue and dirty but not from the garden work at the school’s newly installed learning garden.
At the age of 44, Kimbal Musk is waging war on the American food system. More power to him! He is striving to change the nutrition of our children by teaching them about clean, garden grown produce. His high-end bistros are sweeping the country with one right here in Indianapolis on Mass Avenue. One of my favorite joints, the Kitchen Garden.
I tried to connect with him as the day went along. We were at a new build site installing a Kitchen Community Learning Garden for these great kiddos.
There are now five of these Learning Gardens installed in IPS Schools. Not so much here to solve hunger issues but to teach elementary children about the love of gardening and growing your own clean food.
Urban garden projects have been in Indianapolis for a long time. First Lady Judy O’Bannon and I worked on several projects in the late 1990’s together, but I have never witnessed one like this. The Kitchen Community is a newer 501c3 nonprofit co-founded by Kimbal Musk, the brother to Elon Musk of Tesla fame and fortune. Both South African-born business magnates, each are changing the world in their own way.
Many great partners are helping with this project here in Indianapolis. Gardens of Growth are the company contracted in Indy to do these unique installs. Large white raised bed containers sit of hard-poured or paver surfaces, a well-engineered design. They also find many other partners like Greendell Mulch to donate supplies and materials for the projects. The goal is to build 20 learning gardens by the end of June and 100 gardens are planned for IPS.
INDY METRO / JUNE 2017 / TownePost.com
At IPS School #63, Wendell Phillips, a Third grade class of about 21 kiddos is standing in order around the planting beds. Damien is standing among his peers. Rules are very preset, and the children are respectful of their instructors and the rules given. There is transference of ownership going on here. They get that this is their place to care for. Garden Educator Joris or “JoJo” to the kids is teaching the children to be the ‘guardians of the garden’ and teach others to follow the rules. This gives these kids some form of control in their often manic home lives. Soil is the very first lesson taught to the kids. “Bring a handful of the soil up to your nose and smell it, what does it smell like!” The children giggle and all yell out fun answers like, “Worms!” or “Sunshine!” Schools have an entire garden team. Garden team leaders get everything started. The STEM K-12 program is deeply tied to
the learning garden program and is in partnership with the STEM Connection Program. Common threads of learning and growing are woven together throughout the day, as well as some deep life lessons. As the project got started, Damien was truly having trouble with his day. The emotions from some outside life stress were very present. He was angry and not engaging. I could feel his pain. I found myself saying a prayer to myself, “God, please let this sweet little boy have a moment of reprieve from whatever is going on in his life, to just see the beauty of your garden here today.” The lessons continued. The garden instructors second lesson was, “How to keep seeds happy. You need soil, air, water and sunshine!” Just like people. The learning garden really holds the children’s interest for long periods of time. Damien was starting
to plant his first seeds. He asked lots of questions like, “why’d ya build this for us?” The children’s hands were moving the soil aside to make a trench for their seeds. Everyone had something different. Tomatoes, carrots, watermelon, peppers and celery were being spaced out to plant. Damien was planting Chard, and he learned it has an edible stem. He was most interested in the Salsa Garden the kids planted in one box with peppers, onions and tomatoes. I witnessed children digging their hands deep into the soil and connecting with something larger than their own lives. You could see something awakening in some of the children’s faces. It was a beautiful day, and it was evident that the garden is a place of rest and healing. If you want to learn more about the Kitchen Community, visit their website at TheKitchenCommunity.org.

A LUCKY ACCIDENT Writer / Christy Heitger-Ewing
On December 5, 2012, Dave Hawkins, a CPA, had just finished a grueling two-day tax seminar when he got into his car to head home. “It was dark, but the roads were dry,” Hawkins says. “I remember looking up and seeing this car going off the road.” Before he had time to process what was happening, Hawkins’ vehicle collided, head-on, with the other. Though he was fortunate to not sustain internal bleeding or severe injuries, he suffered six broken ribs — a pain so searing that Hawkins likens it to a root canal. At the emergency room, Hawkins had a CT scan. Then he sat and waited for what seemed like an eternity before the doctor returned with unsettling news. “You’re pretty busted up with those broken ribs,” the doctor said. “But in addition to that,” the physician continued, “I see a tumor down by your abdomen, so I’ve paged a surgical oncologist to consult.”
Hawkins had six weeks to let reality sink in as he recovered from his broken ribs. Then he went in for a biopsy, at which time he learned he had testicular cancer. Not only is the cancer, itself, rather uncommon, with just 85 to 100 new cases identified nationwide each year, but given Hawkins’ age (60) at the time, it was especially surprising.
Though Hawkins initially tried to shield his diagnosis from his elderly mother because he didn’t want to worry her, he found himself in a tricky spot when his hair began falling out.
What wasn’t unusual, however, was the way in which Hawkins learned of his condition. Physicians told him that it’s not uncommon for work or athletic injuries to reveal the often-elusive form of cancer.
After six months, Hawkins’ strength returned. He had to have routine blood tests and chest X-rays to ensure the cancer had not spread to his lungs or brain. Thankfully, all tests have come back clear.
Ultimately, doctors confirmed that the tumor they saw on the CT scan was actually three lymph nodes that had expanded — one 4.5 centimeters and the other two just over three centimeters. Hawkins was given the option of either undergoing radiation or chemotherapy. He was told that the recurrence rate for chemo patients is five percent, whereas the recurrence rate for radiation is 50 percent.
Eight months after the accident, Hawkins knocked on the front door of the man who smashed into him that fateful December night.
“Those numbers helped me make up my mind real quick,” Hawkins says.
Hawkins’ eyes widened. A bit later, when the surgical oncologist confirmed that Hawkins had lymphoma, he was rendered speechless.
He had surgery on his ribs, then endured 15 rounds of chemotherapy treatments, which depleted his energy.
Wincing in pain yet dazed and confused, Hawkins sat dumbfounded in the ER, absorbing the shocking diagnosis. None of it made sense as he had experienced no lower back pain or night sweats — typical symptoms of cancer.
“Chemo is hard to explain,” Hawkins says. “There’s no pain associated with it, yet the nausea and fatigue is incredible. You sit in a chair, thinking about how you really ought to get up and do something, but you literally cannot move because your body is so fatigued.”
“One day she asked me why I was always wearing a hat,” Hawkins says. “I couldn’t keep it a secret any longer.”
“I explained to him how grateful I was that the accident happened because it actually saved my life,” says Hawkins, a resident of Noblesville. Hawkins and his wife are eager to go to Hoosier Park Casino so he can play blackjack and she can play the slots. The awesome prize package is partly why he entered the Luckiest Hoosier Alive Contest. “I’m not sure if I’m the luckiest Hoosier alive, maybe the most blessed Hoosier alive because I really do feel blessed,” says Hawkins, who credits both his amazing medical team and the unwavering support of his family and friends during the bleakest days of his journey. “They were crucial to my recovery. I’m grateful for literally every day I get.”

PARABELLUM FIREARMS & INDOOR RANGE OFFERS CLASSES AND COMPETITIONS Writer / Christy Heitger-Ewing
Though Joe Sellmer always had a long-term goal to open up a gun shop, it was his wife, Terry, who urged him to do it. Six years ago, when she was working for the Avon Police Department, civilians frequently came into the station requesting information on where to buy a gun and get training to use it. “Back then, Indianapolis was behind the curve in the gun market compared to a lot of cities,” Sellmer says. In May 2014, he opened Parabellum Firearms & Indoor Range in Avon — a shop that not only rents and sells guns but also has 14 shooting stalls that are 25 yards long. In addition, Parabellum offers both beginner and developmental classes, including Intro to Firearms, Gun Handling 101,
Defensive Pistol, Ladies Guided Shoot, Ladies Developmental Shooting, Shotgun, Self-Defense and classes for kids (ages 10 and up). Though their clientele consists of slightly more males than females, the most popular classes are those that are geared toward women.
because they listen intently and are not focused on their egos. “We have several couples who incorporate the range into their date night,” Sellmer says. “In fact, we’re thinking of putting together a special package that includes both a lane and a dinner reservation.”
“Since we opened three years ago, we’ve introduced 4,000 women to shooting firearms,” says Sellmer, observing that the Friday night classes are particularly popular with the ladies.
People are initially drawn to the range for multiple reasons. Some wish to learn how to operate a firearm because they live in a bad neighborhood or work late at night. Others want a gun in the house in the event of a home invasion.
“Women come in and take a class with their girlfriends, then go out for margaritas afterwards,” says Sellmer, adding that women typically make better students
Sellmer had an elderly woman come into the shop and tell him that she keeps a pistol beneath empty Kleenex boxes in every room of her house.

“No one’s going to think twice about an old lady having tissues,” she said. “This way I have protection no matter what room I’m in.” A good portion of Sellmer’s students are people who are timid around guns and want to conquer that fear. “Our main goal during your first time out is to make you feel comfortable and get you past that fear,” Sellmer says. Parabellum differs from other ranges in that they offer advanced classes, including lowlight shooting, shooting and moving and engaging in multiple adversaries. They also have a class for home defense. Most classes intermix safety instruction with gun handling. After introducing the “four basics”— grip, stance, posture and trigger control — students go out to the range to work on marksmanship using laser pistols and plastic mockups. Parabellum offers self-defense gun-oriented classes as well as a more physical selfdefense class, which covers situational awareness, date rape and how to handle aggressive personalities. Students also learn how to react if they are grabbed while standing up and what to do if they are pinned down. In addition to classes, Parabellum hosts several competitions a year. A typical competition consists of high-round count drills where competitors shoot 92-96 rounds, broken down into three stages each (30-32 shots per stage). Each competition starts out differently. Some begin with holster draw, others with the competitor’s back to the target or with the gun on the table. Competitors are expected to shoot weakhanded and strong-handed. Some require participants to move. Other times, they’re presented with a shoot or no-shoot scenario to simulate a hostage situation. “We put up painted targets, and if you accidentally shoot a no-shoot target, you lose points for that round,” Sellmer says. “We have young teens who have been at it for years and can now beat their parents in competitions.”
PARABELLUM OWNER, JOE SELLMER
The change in attitude is something Sellmer has seen many times. He tells the story of two 19-year old cousins who came in because their grandparents purchased them private lessons. “When those girls first arrived, they were scared to death to touch a pistol, but by the end of the day, they were saying, ‘We’ll get Grandpa to buy us guns. We just have to figure out what we want!’” Their concern was replaced with confidence. Their apprehension replaced by excitement. Their dread replaced by determination. It’s a pretty typical response, according to Sellmer. Nick McInnes, 14, started shooting at Parabellum on opening day. “As a junior competitive shooter, it’s nice to be able to shoot yearround so I can work on my accuracy and safe gun handling skills,” McInnes says. “This keeps me ready for match season.” Several years ago, Rachel Mazzio, 13, attended a newbie class and enjoyed it so much that her mother, Amy, decided to join her. Now, it’s something they do together. “Rachel wasn’t a fan the first time she fired a gun, but she quickly changed her mind,” her mom says.
“After getting some instruction and gun handling experience, a lot of folks say, ‘Huh, that wasn’t so bad,’ or ‘Hey, that was a lot easier than I thought,’” Sellmer says. The phrase heard most frequently? “Wow, that was fun!” Parabellum Firearms & Indoor Range is located at 8217 Kingston St., behind Godby Furniture.

AVON DAD OF THE YEAR BRIAN WHEELER
Writer / Heather Chastain
value is in Christ. And my daughter is thriving.”
A man rooted in faith and family is Avon’s Dad of the Year. Brian Wheeler is a father to six children. He was nominated by his wife Loree.
The CEO of Legacy, a practice management and financial planning organization, Brian humbly accepted his victory.
“I always tell our kids that they hit the dad jackpot,” Loree says. “Brian invests so much time into each of them and makes each one feel special.”
“I’m tickled I was nominated, but I’m still taken aback,” he says. “There are at least 100 guys in my life that should have come before me. So, for me, this is sort of a communal win. It’s a representation of all the men in my life.”
Brian and Lorree have been married seven years and say they have entered a transitional time in their lives.
Brian credits his parents for turning him into the man he is today.
“We just had one child get their permit, another is close behind,” Brian says. “We’re starting to go on college visits. We’re a normal family. My wife is a photographer and posts beautiful pictures of our family online. People always think we have it all together, but I just laugh and say, ‘no that’s just Facebook.” Active participants in their church, Nehemiah Church, they focus their family in growing through faith. “Faith is a big part of our family and who we are,” Brian says. “As a young parent, you have no idea what you’re doing, sometimes I still feel that way, and you often rely on rules. But if you can turn them toward a relationship with God, you can realize you don’t need as many rules if they are guided toward Him. Our daughter is a perfect example. I’ve seen a lot of kids her age get wrapped up in social media and have their identity wrapped up in it. The best tool we’ve given our kids is reminding them their identity and
“My mom and dad will celebrate their 50th anniversary this month,” Brian says. “I’ve seen their relationship mature. They’ve gone through good times and bad. When you’re young, you don’t understand so much of what they did, and now I just call them and say, ‘thank you for enduring all of those piano lessons and for putting up with me growing up!’ My dad was always very encouraging of everything I do and my mom always believed I could do anything.” Brian also serves on the board of Restored, a group working to recover and restore girls sex trafficked in Indiana. Last year, the group recovered 55 girls. Brian says so far this year, they have recovered 55 girls. The organization hopes to grow and build a facility where these girls can stay while they are being rehabilitated. You can learn more about the organization at RestoredInc.org.

AVON CeleBRaTES 17 TH ANnuaL RIB FEST Rib Fest, a local tradition since 2005, will kick off the last weekend in June with live entertainment, kids games, food and fireworks. The event takes place at Kingsway Christian Church. “The main purpose of the event is to provide a good quality county-wide event,” says Avon Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Tom Downard. During Rib Fest, local restaurants compete for “best ribs” and “best sauce” bragging rights as judged by the local tasters. Back by popular demand is the Balloon Glow. “Last year was the first year and it was a huge success,” Downard says. “This year we’ll also have tethered balloon rides you can purchase as well.” This year the Chamber also expanded the kids game area and added more games. Those games are still free. Downard credits the great support of the sponsors for making this successful event free to the community. “We have many great sponsors who help pull off this event,” Downward says. “It’s a big project and a lot of people, including many dedicated volunteers, pull it off.” The annual Rib Run 5k walk/run is another popular event. Every kilometer in the 5k, participants are able to stop and eat ribs. Kingsway Christian Church is located at 7981 E CR 100 N. Parking is available at the nearby schools for $5. A shuttle will be available to get you to the event. Rib Fest will kick off at 4 pm. Make sure to bring your chairs, blankets and family to come out and enjoy the live music, good food and fireworks. Hendricks Regional Health sponsors the Balloon Glow. Champion Chevrolet is the stage sponsor. IU West Hospital sponsors the Rib Run and Countryside Meadows sponsors the kids area.

Living Edge Boutique MOV E S TO N E W LO CAT I O N Writer / Heather Chastain
Two eager, smiling faces greeted me as I entered Living Edge Boutique’s new location. Mother daughter duo, and boutique co-owners, Jill Choate and Jamye Shelley are enjoying boutique-life and their new prominent storefront. “We started off small,” Jamye says. “We began as an online shop in May 2016, then opened a store on 36 for six months and kind of tested the waters. It helped give us the confidence in ourselves to move to this location.” Even though both women are busy with other full-time projects, Jill is a bookkeeper for another local businessman, and Jayme is still a part-time nurse and getting her master’s degree, they are excited to be in business for themselves.
“Boutique clothing is super cute, but it’s pricey,” Jamye says. “We wanted to carry affordable boutique clothing. Everyone should be able to dress cute. We wanted to cater to the average woman.”
They carry Unplug Soy Candles made in Fishers, B. Erin Designs out of Speedway, Sew Hoosier handcrafted home décor made in Franklin and Nina’s Nest jewelry made in Avon.
The boutique carries sizes small to 3X. In You can also catch Living Edge Boutique fact, half of the boutique is dedicated to plus around town hosting popup shops.

AND THE CROWN GOES TOâ&#x20AC;¦ ZIONSVILLE TO HOST 13TH ANNUAL MISS INDIANA PAGEANT JUNE 13-17
Writer / Kara Kavensky Photography Provided
The Miss Indiana pageant has evolved since its inception. While early records are fuzzy, documentation commences in the early 1900s and took a hiatus during World War II, with consistency since the end of the war in 1945.
While the location for the Miss Indiana Pageant has changed over the years, this will be the 13th year Zionsville has hosted the event. Since 2005, Zionsville has celebrated the state’s road to Miss America with dinners, a parade, competition and many other events culminating in the Miss Indiana finals on the Saturday night of pageant week.
Even though Zionsville played host, it did not have its own event for local contestants. A few community members approached (then) Zionsville Town Council member and Lions Club member, Dr. Jeff Papa, to help remedy that. In 2011, Papa founded the Miss Fall Festival’s Outstanding Teen pageant, held in conjunction with the Lions Club Fall Festival, as part of the Miss Indiana’s Outstanding Teen Pageant. “It made sense for Boone County to host its own local competition to increase awareness and involvement,” says Papa, who has served on the Zionsville Town Council and served as the first Mayor of Zionsville.

“Deciding to hold the Outstanding Teen pageant during the Fall Festival, which is the largest fundraising effort of the year for the Zionsville Lions Club, made sense in a lot of ways with attention drawn to the event,” says Louanne Giralte, Miss Fall Festival’s Outstanding Teen Director. The decision was made to have the Miss Fall Festival’s Outstanding Teen pageant be a “closed” pageant, meaning its only open to local young women living in Boone County.

“This seemed the most logical filing for the competition based upon increasing local awareness of the pageant system,” Papa says.

Gail Robbins, President of the Zionsville Lions Club, has helped with the Miss Fall Festival’s Outstanding Teen and with Miss Indiana Week in various capacities since it began. “The addition of the Miss Fall Festival’s Outstanding Teen pageant to our Fall Festival has helped the community feel more a part of Miss Indiana Week,” she says. The Miss Indiana program engages girls and boys of ages 5-12 through participation in the non-competitive
This year's Miss Indiana parade will take place on Saturday, June 17 in downtown Zionsville.
Prince & Princess Camp. Pre-teens, age 10-12 can sign up for Preteen Princess Camp to learn more about becoming a contestant. The competitive levels for young women begin with Teen (ages 13-17), and the Miss (ages 17-24) pageant. “We have our largest number of contestants ever competing this year,” says Aren Straiger, Executive Director of the Miss Indiana Scholarship Pageant. “Zionsville is so good to us! Most of our food donors are local caterers and restaurants in the area. The Miss contestants will visit the Zionsville Lions, Lebanon Elks Lodge and the Boys and Girls Club, while our Teen contestants visit the R.O.C.K. Program at Zionsville United Methodist Church. On Saturday of the Miss Indiana Week, the Main Street Parade takes place through Zionsville. The contestants get to ride in convertibles through the town, followed by an autograph session in Boone Village. “This offers the young women an opportunity to meet the community and encourages Zionsville residents to buy tickets,” Straiger says. “I believe we have the best entertainment for the price, which is affordable. These women are so talented, well-spoken and are wonderful role models.” All participants in the pageant raise money for the Children’s Miracle Network benefiting Riley Hospital for Children.

Fans of the show Good Bones have been hanging from the rafters waiting for more episodes of the Indy-based HGTV show, but the wait is over. Season two of the home-flipping hit kicked off May 30. HGTV and the show’s sponsor, Berkshire Hathaway, came to Indy to celebrate the upcoming premiere of season two of Good Bones. As the execs from HGTV and Berkshire Hathaway got a peek at Indy’s hometown secrets, the show’s stars, Karen Laine and Mina Starsiak, spilled secrets about season two. Fans of the show know that the two have tackled a load of unforeseen construction issues and they simply go on handling whatever life throws at them. Laine and Starsiak say they handled life before the show in a similar way. It was 2007, and Starsiak had just graduated from Indiana University. Without a plan, she returned to Indianapolis, began working a part-time waitress job, and decided to buy a
home. The home was priced low and needed the end of season one, the two didn’t know if they would be picked up for season two. lots of renovations, so Starsiak asked her “The hard part wasn’t waiting to hear if we mom to help her with it. got picked up for season two,” Starsiak says. Laine was working as a full-time prosecutor “We had to be prepared with 10 houses in inventory ready to go as soon as filming at the time, a job she still holds today, began because filming for the next season but one for which she now only devotes begins about a year ahead. It will be the limited hours. Laine’s job provided little same way for season three.” free time, so she helped her daughter on weekends to get the job done. Laine also Among the challenges in season one was bought a little house in Fountain Square having a production team that had to shoot that they eventually fixed up. After they completed both makeovers, the two formed from the hip as they shot scenes, working to create a format for the brand new show. Two Chicks and a Hammer, and with the help of some savings account funds, they “It was like the blind leading the blind, slowly started off rehabbing two houses a because they didn’t really know the recipe year. They even set up a Two Chicks and a for the show,” Starsiak says. “But now Hammer Facebook page. that we know what the format is, we can accomplish a lot more in a much more That’s when HGTV found them. manageable amount of time.” “Someone from the show reached out The ladies have found a rhythm to finding in 2014,” Laine says. “We did a phone their properties, too. interview, a Skype interview and finally arranged to do a pilot.” “We choose our properties based on After all the waiting, the network gave Laine location and price,” Starsiak says. “If it’s in and Starsiak the thumbs up. Filming of the right location at the right price, we can season one began shortly after that. After make it work.” TownePost.com / JUNE 2017 / INDY METRO
Along the journey, the two have encountered plenty of adventure.
Through all their adventures, the ladies seem to have gotten by all in one piece.
Season two promises to continue their adventures.
“There’s always something new,” Laine says. “We never know exactly what the problem is going to be, we just know there’s going to be one. It could be a sewer line, a gas line or a foundation.”
“We always have cuts and bumps and bruises and scrapes,” Starsiak says. “We have scars all over our hands, and usually our fingernails are really dirty. But we’ve never gotten badly injured. We’ve both hit our heads a few times.”
“The production team nailed it in season two,” Laine says.

Laine explains that along with improving homes and neighborhoods is an aspect about the show they never expected. Fan feedback reflects that the show is already crossing generations. “It makes us very happy to hear about two generations watching the show together,” Starsiak says. “We have a lot of fans who are 12-15 years old watching the show with their mom or dad, and it’s adorable.” Another aspect of the show Laine didn’t expect to hear from fans was its affect on relationships. Laine explains that at a show they did for a small audience, one fan had a strong reaction. “The lady started crying, saying the show makes her think of her relationship with her mom and how troubled it’s been,” she says. “She told me she’d love to have the kind of relationship the two of us two have. I told her, go find a way to get it. Don’t give up, keep trying. If the show can do that for people, heal a relationship, that’s better than houses.” “It’s crazy how much of an impact HGTV has on people’s lives,” Starsiak adds. “Not just on our show, but so many different levels of inspiration. It didn’t start feeling meaningful to mom until we started getting all this feedback.” Laine credits the network for doing more than inspiring people. She says she realized the impact when visiting friends in the hospital who were caring for their sick child.

Indiana’s Longest Running Juried Art Fair Moves to the Middle of June The Talbot Street Art Fair, is moving to the third weekend in June. This decision was made by the Fair Committee as more events were scheduled for the second weekend in the popular month. Since there are several other art festivals on the second weekend, many artists have had to make a decision as to which city they will exhibit. By moving the show, more artists will be able to bring their talents to Indianapolis.
Celebrating it’s 62nd year, the fair features over 250 artists both locally and nationally. The artists exhibit on Talbot Street between 16th & 20th Streets presenting work in various mediums. These include sculpture, glass, painting, jewelry, photography, ceramics, wood, printmaking, mixed media and fiber. The host neighborhood, HerronMorton Place has planned a special food-court area at the fair this year. Located near the Herron High School, this area will provide some seating and shade for attendees. This is a family -friendly event and, as always, the admission is free!

BIZ ACADEMY
BIZ ACADEMY GIVING BACK ON AND OFF STAGE Writer / Melissa Gibson
“There is richness and overwhelming acceptance in the wonderful people I’ve met, which is something I’ve always loved. Everyone is accepted,” says Craig Whitcombe, Director and co-owner of The Biz Academy in Avon, of theater. Whitcombe’s partners, Jeff and Jan VanParis, are educators in the County and created the theater organization to develop and empower young actors, singers and dancers. The Biz offers a variety of classes and expertise to young thespians, perhaps most unique is the experiences offered behind the scenes.
The “My Time to Shine” program, a program for children and adults with special needs, not only provides time on the stage for those who may not otherwise get a chance, but it also provides a lesson in selflessness, understanding and friendship. “We’re in our fourth year, and it’s the only one in the state that we’re aware of,” Whitcombe says. “The actors audition, perform and produce the entire show.” Veteran Biz Kid volunteers mentor each actor and help them through the process, providing moral support, but the actual performance is completely on their own. AvonMagazine.com / JUNE 2017 / AVON MAGAZINE / 61
The students regularly meet people that they may not have had it not been for their similar love of the stage. Students with disability, illnesses, different cultures and understanding have all passed through the doors, and Whitcombe describes those experiences as, “an emotional connection and a tight bond between them.” They are a family. A few years ago, more than 80 children performed in “The Lion King Jr.”, and the kids loved the African dance instruction they received so much that the Ball State University instructor now offers classes regularly.
Many can be seen on stage at Beef and Boards Dinner Theater, Indiana Repertoire Theater, Footlight Musical Theater and others. All began at some point, performing and taking classes through The Biz and while Whitcombe says it’s hard to see them go, they actively help students prepare for auditions, what to expect, identify areas of improvement and, most of all, support them in wherever their paths take them. Abby Moyers is one senior hoping to be accepted into a theater program this fall and eventually Broadway. “I think it’s fun to step out of your box and be someone else,” Moyers says. “I like to tell the story and entertain people.” Moyers is not alone.
Classes, such as voice, acting, auditioning, dance and makeup courses, are offered for preschoolers (Introduction to Acting) all the way through college age, and they’ve recently added a Kindermusik course for those younger than preschool. “We’re constantly looking for new opportunities for the kids, something different,” Whitcombe says.
Whitcombe says the demand for music production and a huge body of support has allowed The Biz to continue to grow. What set them He recently completed his first musical piece about Ryan White, apart from other theater groups around the state are the classes and one of the first hemophiliacs to be diagnosed with AIDS in 1984 education students receive from working with these professionals. entitled, “Shine On”. 62 / AVON MAGAZINE / JUNE 2017 / AvonMagazine.com
Biz students will attend The Indianapolis Children’s Museum display about Ryan and meet his mother. Moyers will play Ryan’s mother during performances the last weekend of May and is looking forward to the challenge. “This is the first true story I’ve ever done, and in other performances I’ve been able to do my own adaptation of the character,” Moyers says. “This time, I want to be sure to get it right. I want to portray her in the right way.” Most of all, the Biz Kids are making memories to last a lifetime. “Those people that I send birthday cards and Christmas cards to back home are the ones from my youth theater days,” Whitcombe says. “I had friends in high school and college of course, but the ones that stuck were from my youth. It’s a formative time of your life and perhaps the seeds are laid there that determine what kind of person you’re going to be.” The Biz performances are at Harmony Baptist Church in Avon. Check their website, thebiz-academy.com for information regarding regular performances and 2017 summer camps. The My Time to Shine program is free for participants due to generous donators in the community.

Writer / Jarod Turner . Photography / AJAA
In 1963, Avon was nothing more than a region between Plainfield and Brownsburg that had a one-year old School Corporation. As this area got its own school, it started becoming its own community. The Avon Junior Baseball Association became just the second non-profit organization in the area that bore the name Avon. It was started with the help of the Avon Optimist Club, which started in 1959. Games were played where else, but right off of Highway 36. There were fields where the current Harlan Bakery and shopping center are now. Just six years later, the AJBA
became the AJAA by adding a football program. Along the way, many volunteers helped build the programming to the 20 distinct programs that are offered now. The Avon Community School Corporation has grown tremendously, and the purpose of AJAA is to provide students ages 5-18 team-based activities to help round out their childhood. AJAA is a proud partner with ACSC, and has solidified a 25-year agreement to utilize school property to run the athletic programs in which the children and parents of Avon want to participate. As Avon and the unincorporated areas of Washington Township have seen a population boom to more than 45,000 AvonMagazine.com / JUNE 2017 / AVON MAGAZINE / 65
people in the last decade, it has pushed the student population to more than 9,000 students. About 20 percent of those students participate in at least one sport at AJAA. AJAA registered 3,579 children in 17 programs in 2016. ACSC also reports that about 27 percent of the student population is on the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s free and reduced lunch program. This means that up to 2,500 children are living in households where there is most likely less than $30,000 of combined household income. AJAA recognizes that if a family has a hard time with general expenses such as school lunch, their children may suffer from not being able to participate in its programs.
1st Year of AJAA Football in 1969.
AJAA has developed a new program called ASK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Athletic Scholarships for Kids. This program is designed to follow the same federal guidelines for free and reduced lunch for household income to offer subsidized fees up to 100 percent for children who may want to play organized recreational sports. With AJAA running three distinct seasons of spring, fall and winter, if a child would want to participate in a sport for all three seasons the cost could be as high as $445 for a year of sports. As percentages go, AJAA realizes that some athletes that already play will qualify for assistance. This means that current registration revenue will take a hit. AJAA estimates an annual cost of this program to
be up to $75,000 and will need help from the community to make this dream become a reality. And so, let the fundraising begin.
Golf outing registration. There, you could sign up as a golfer, team, sponsor or simply make a donation.
On June 30, AJAA will host its first ever ASK AJAA golf outing at Prestwick Country Club. This event will be more than just golf, as a dinner auction will follow. It is expected that this event will raise less than half of the overall annual target, but will be a great start.
If everyone in the Avon/Washington Township could spare just $20 this year toward this fund, it could build an endowment that will last for many years to come.
The impact of organized sport offers opportunity for children to be active, make lasting relationships and to have a positive adult role model each season. If you or your company have the ability to give, visit ajaaonline.org and go to the ASK AJAA 66 / AVON MAGAZINE / JUNE 2017 / AvonMagazine.com
The AJAA is grateful for the number of community partners and volunteers that keep things going, and hope you will consider to get involved with this program to help kids stay active in a positive program that will keep their brains engaged with others and not with a screen.

WORKING IN THE YARD THIS SUMMER? REMEM BER TO STAY SAFE. A little yard work is a rite of passage during these warm, sunny months. Mowing the lawn, touching up landscape and finally finishing that back deck are all on our list of to-dos. But as you work through your summer list, remember to stay safe and healthy. Tonya Green, NP and lead provider in the Orthopedics Walk-In Clinic at Indiana University Health West Hospital, has a few tips for preventing injuries. STRETCH BEFORE AND AFTER ACTIVITY Think back to those high school gym class moves. Stretching warms up your body and prevents injury. PLAN YOUR FOOTWEAR What shoes should you wear? If you’re mowing, make sure they’re closedtoed. If you’re walking in the yard, a well-supported shoe helps prevent back pain and twisting injuries, especially on uneven ground. CHECK YOUR SUPPLIES Set out supplies needed for the activity, and be sure it’s in good condition. If you’re cleaning gutters, have the gloves, buckets and supplies together before ascending the ladder to prevent frequent trips up and down. Before climbing, always check that a ladder is locked and in good condition. If you’re using electricity, do a thorough check of the entire electrical cord. Are the prongs intact? Do you see any exposed wires? Know when it’s time for an upgrade. Electrical injuries are almost always preventable. 70 / AVON MAGAZINE / JUNE 2017 / AvonMagazine.com
USE GOOD BODY MECHANICS When lifting anything, bend from the knees and not the back. Avoid twisting to pull objects. PACE YOURSELF Don’t be the weekend warrior that pays all week for doing too much. Take breaks. Separate one large project into several smaller ones. Trying to accomplish too many tasks will fatigue the body, and people tend to have more injuries when they’re tired and trying to do too much at once. STAY HYDRATED Always have water easily accessible when working outdoors. Drink water often, even if you’re not thirsty. Try as you might to prevent them, injuries may still occur. But how do you know if an injury is severe enough to seek help?
“A good example of when a person needs to visit us is when he or she can’t bear a lot of weight because of pain, or if an injury doesn’t improve after trying RICE Therapy (Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation),” Green says. “If an injury becomes swollen or forms a bruise immediately, that’s another red flag to make a trip.” Fortunately, Avon residents don’t have to make the trip to an emergency room when orthopedic injuries occur. The Walk-In Clinic at IU Health West Hospital, in partnership with IU Health Physicians (IUHP), opened in January 2017 and allows for efficient and convenient treatment of non-life-threatening injuries. “I can typically assess a patient, get X-rays and provide treatment in about one to two hours,” Green says. “The time frame is often much longer in the emergency room as that
team must care for patients with truly lifethreatening injuries or illness first.” To provide a personalized patient care experience, Green often collaborates with other physicians in the clinic. “As an integrated part of our larger Orthopedics and Sports Medicine team, I'm able to seamlessly refer patients who need further care on to the right specialist — whether it is to Steven Hartsock, MD for sports medicine for nonsurgical injuries, or to one of the IUHP orthopedic surgeons for surgical injuries, Brian Keyes, DO or Ripley Worman, MD,” Green says. The Orthopedics Walk-In Clinic at IU Health West Hospital is open weekdays from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. No appointment is needed.

Taking Flight
LOCALS GET THEIR WINGS AT HENDRICKS COUNTY AVIATION Writer / Christy Heitger-Ewing
Last year Chris Johnson, owner of Nature’s Choice Landscaping in Brownsburg, took ownership of Hendricks County Aviation, a flight school on the edge of Avon that opened in 2005. Hendricks County Aviation may be the area’s best kept secret. Not that it’s meant to be, but given that it’s somewhat concealed from public view (the runway ends just south of Rockville Road but is hidden by trees and railroad tracks), not everyone knows it exists. Johnson has been involved in aviation most of his life, having moved in 1998 from the West coast to Avon for a job with United Airlines. Furloughed in 2002, he started Nature’s Choice Landscaping. When the opportunity to purchase the flight school came about last year, Johnson jumped on it.
“I’d been wanting to become involved in aviation again,” says Johnson, a licensed Airframe and Powerplant mechanic. “This was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up.” Johnson employs two primary instructors — Richard Stevens and Dave Remondini. Stevens, 70, has been a flight instructor for the past 32 years, teaching hundreds of students and logging 14,000 in-flight hours. Stevens grew up on a farm in Crawfordsville and at age 10 got hooked on aviation when he accompanied his father on an airplane ride. Stevens earned a degree in agricultural science from Purdue University in 1974, then returned to the family farm where he worked with his two brothers. Though 72 / AVON MAGAZINE / JUNE 2017 / AvonMagazine.com
he enjoyed his livelihood, he still had a burning desire to learn to fly, so he started taking lessons in 1978. Though he had no intention of becoming an instructor, the GI Bill enabled him to obtain his commercial pilot’s license. In 1985, he began teaching and never stopped. He taught for 19 years in Crawfordsville before he was asked to share his skills at Hendricks County Aviation in 2005. “I had retired from farming, so it was perfect timing for me to come over here,” says Stevens, who had envisioned this being a semi-retirement gig. Not so. During warm weather months, Stevens sometimes has as many as 15 students at one time. The majority of the pupils who attend the
Richard Stevens
Hendricks County Aviation are looking to earn their private pilot’s license so that they may pursue flying as a hobby. A handful, however, go on to earn advanced ratings or certificates so that they may become a commercial pilot. Getting licensed is a three-step process. The first phase is 15 hours of flight training and includes three takeoffs and three landings. The second, called the “cross-country” phase, is learning how to go from Point A to Point B and involves flying from home base (the Hendricks County Airport) to a straight-line distance at least 50 nautical miles away. “The student and I plan that flight and fly it together,” Stevens says. “We do that three times and by the third time, they’ll know how to plan it, fly it and work with air traffic control all by themselves.” They also engage in some night training. The third and final phase is taking the Check Ride exam with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). AvonMagazine.com / JUNE 2017 / AVON MAGAZINE / 73
“YOU FIND THAT YOU EITHER WANT TO FLY OR YOU DON’T. FOR ANYONE STILL ON THE FENCE, I ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE THE FIRST COUPLE OF FLIGHT LESSONS AND THEN DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT TO PROCEED.” R ICHARD STEVENS
Pupils must log a minimum of 40 hours to get their private pilot’s license. The amount of time that takes is completely dependent on the student’s schedule. “I’ve had people take as long as five years and others get it in a month if they’re out here every day,” says Stevens, whose favorite part of the job is when his students complete their first solo flight. “When I get out of the airplane and they take off for the first time without me in the seat next to them, that’s a big deal,” Stevens says. “Their knees might be knocking a bit, but it’s not anxiety. It’s excitement. This is what they’ve been waiting for.” Those who are intrigued by the prospect of taking lessons but are not convinced it’s for them may come out to the airport and, for a fee, participate in a “Discovery Flight” where they spend an hour with the instructor and are even allowed to take control of the aircraft. “I’m not trying to sell aviation,” Stevens says. “You find that you either want to fly or you don’t. For anyone still on the fence, I encourage you to take the first couple of flight lessons and then decide whether or not to proceed.” 74 / AVON MAGAZINE / JUNE 2017 / AvonMagazine.com
As for Stevens, he has no plans of retiring any time soon. “There aren’t many senior flight instructors in the country, so I’m proud to be one of them,” says Stevens, who occasionally flies somewhere for a day trip. Not only is the view from the sky better than on the ground, but simply getting from one location to another is much faster by air. “I can be to French Lick in 40 minutes by plane, whereas it takes a couple hours in a car,” Stevens says. “I can go, spend the day, and be home in time for dinner.” Stevens’ teaching has spanned the demographics. He’s taught teenagers, adults and seniors. “The high school students often come because they’re going to go to Purdue or Indiana State to pursue professional pilot training programs, and they want to get their private pilot’s license before arriving on campus,” Stevens says. “With the older folks, it’s often a bucket list sort of thing. I just think it’s nice anytime the flying bug has bitten someone, and they’re compelled to get their license.” Seven years ago, a local high school student named Brady Burke, who studied under Stevens, went on to Purdue University and landed a job as a commercial airline pilot. “Brady dreamed of becoming an airline pilot and saw his vision to fruition,” Stevens says. “It’s rewarding to know that the dream started here.”
