BACK-TO-SCHOOL

15 ESSENTIAL TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL START

School buses rumble through our neighborhoods tracing their new routes while local merchants restock copies of our schools’ supply lists to ease our shopping efforts. These signs point to one thing — it’s time to go back to school. It can be hard to adjust from the dog days of summer to the fast pace of the busy school year. Here are 15 tips for parents from a veteran teacher and mother of two that should help your family make a smooth transition from summer fun to meaningful learning in the classroom.

BACK-TO-SCHOOL TIPS

SET UP A BEDTIME AND WAKE-UP ROUTINE AT LEAST A WEEK IN ADVANCE

During the school year, have your kids pack their backpacks right after homework is complete. Packed lunches can be prepared while dinner is made. Encourage your kids to lay out their school clothes before taking their evening shower or bath. To make sure your children eat a healthy breakfast, stock the fridge and pantry with options that capable kids can prepare for themselves. As children grow older, have them set their own alarm and wake up early for that week before school and beyond.

PLAN HEALTHY LUNCHES AND SNACKS.

Ask for a school menu to see which days your child may have to bring a lunch. The better you plan out the meals in your home, the healthier choices you will make for your kids. Pack protein-rich lunches and snacks, balanced with fruits, vegetables and other wholesome items. This ensures that your children will have the energy and brainpower to make it through their school days. I’ve seen the difference in my students during class — those who had a good lunch seem able to track more easily with the lesson while others struggle to stay awake and focused.

MAKE SURE YOUR CHILDREN ARE ON TIME EACH DAY TO SCHOOL

Arriving to school tardy is never a good way to start the day. When kids are late for school, they miss valuable instructional time. Every minute counts! Set your own alarm early enough to be up and able to keep things moving in the morning.

OBTAIN SCHOOL SUPPLY LISTS AND PURCHASE ITEMS

Purchase school supplies, books and technology well in advance to avoid meltdowns on the first day. Inventory last year’s school supplies before going out to buy more. Include your kids in back-to-school shopping by allowing them to pick out their own items. Organize and label the items with their names as much as possible — I promise you this helps both the children and their teachers.

DESIGNATE A QUIET AREA IN YOUR HOME FOR HOMEWORK

This area can also be used for storage of backpacks and instruments. Try to keep this area functional and free of clutter so your children can quickly find what they need. Remove any electronics that could prove to be a distraction.

SET REALISTIC GOALS FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR

ORGANIZE CLOTHING

Inventory your kids’ wardrobes and donate things they’ve outgrown, as kids tend to grow over the summer, what fit at the end of last year may not be suitable this year. From there, decide what items you may need before school begins. Try to complete the shopping before school starts so your children have a selection.

DISCUSS YOUR EXPECTATIONS ABOUT SCHOOL WITH YOUR CHILDREN

Your children also have a responsibility in obtaining their education. Encourage your children to do their best in academics and behavior. Maintain a positive attitude when speaking about school.

LIMIT SCREEN TIME ON ALL ELECTRONICS

Sit down with your children and have them write academic goals which are specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and timely (SMART). As the school year begins, reward your kids after successful completion of these goals.

Refresh your rules about screen time for the school year. What’s allowed and when? If you don’t set and enforce definite parameters before that first day of school, you’ll struggle to get your children’s attention and will likely find an argument when you tell them it’s time to turn them off.

10.

11.

MAKE SURE YOUR CHILDREN ARE ON TIME EACH DAY TO SCHOOL

Take a few minutes to ask your kids what they are most looking forward to during the school year and what things may be worrying them. By giving them a forum to express their concerns, you can help them work through any worries and clear up any issues that could lead to a bumpy start to the year. 8 / AVON MAGAZINE / AUGUST 2017 / AvonMagazine.com

HAVE YOUR CHILDREN KEEP A DAILY AGENDA FOR ASSIGNMENTS

Your children will more likely remember to bring needed materials home if they track assignments in each subject area throughout the day. As a parent, I know what it’s like for a child to remember an assignment at 8:00 in the evening only to realize the materials she needs are in her locker at school.

12.

HAVE YOUR CHILDREN KEEP A DAILY AGENDA FOR ASSIGNMENTS

13.

FILL OUT ALL PAPERWORK AND RETURN IT IMMEDIATELY

Children don’t always understand how to break up larger projects into smaller tasks. An adult can help them develop this valuable life skill, so I urge parents to introduce and reinforce the process with their children to avoid procrastination. Neither you nor your children need to feel overwhelmed.

14.

15.

GET TO KNOW YOUR CHILDREN’S NEW TEACHERS

Attend open houses to meet your children’s teachers. If you need to discuss important information with the teachers about your children, set up a time to meet or email them.

CREATE A MASTER CALENDAR OF SCHOOL AND EXTRACURRICULAR EVENTS

A communal calendar that tracks everyone’s activities and commitments is an excellent tool to keep your kids aware of time constraints.

AvonMagazine.com / AUGUST 2017 / AVON MAGAZINE / 9

With all this preparation, your kids will be in great shape. If you’re relaxed and calm, they’ll head off to school feeling excited and ready to get to work. Don’t forget to snap a photo on their way out to the bus. Your teachers will be eager to greet them on the other end. Here’s to the best school year ever!

WHIPPLE EYE CENTER 8244 E. U.S. 36, Suite 200 Avon, IN 46123 317.272.2020 WhippleEyeCenter.com

WHIPPLE EYE CENTER CELEBRATES 25 YEARS IN AVON

Writer / Christy Heitger-Ewing

Twenty-five years ago, Hendricks County was a relatively underserved area for eye care. That all changed in July 1992 when Dan Whipple opened the Whipple Eye Center in Avon. His first office was at Prestwick. Then, in 1993, he moved to the Hendricks Regional Health building at Dan Jones Road and Highway 36. At that facility he can now see patients for office visits upstairs and perform surgeries downstairs in the Hibbeln Surgery Center. “I like being able to bring cutting-edge technology to Hendricks County so that my patients don’t have to travel to Indianapolis or elsewhere for the most up-to-date eye care,” Whipple says.

He was the first eye surgeon in central Indiana to introduce laserassisted cataract surgery with the LenSx femtosecond laser. That laser is run by a computer at a quadrillionth of a second precision to allow customization of the patient’s prescription during cataract surgery and provide more independence from glasses as a result. Another example of the state-of-the-art care that is offered by Whipple Eye Center is MIGS, micro-invasive glaucoma surgery, a surgery that combines cataract surgery with glaucoma surgery. In 2012, Whipple implanted the first commercial iStent in the United States used to perform MIGS surgery. Since then, more than 300,000 of these procedures have been done nationwide.

10 / AVON MAGAZINE / AUGUST 2017 / AvonMagazine.com

Whipple also provides Avastin injections for his patients with macular degeneration or diabetes.

“It was his attraction to offering the most state-of-the-art care that brought him to join our team,” Whipple says.

“Over the past six years, this has become a great convenience for our patients, saving them a 30-mile trip to a retina specialist every month or so,” Whipple says. “I’m proud of what we’ve been able to bring to Hendricks County because I’m a big fan of taking care of people locally.”

The latest addition to the team, Rob McPike, is an Avon High School graduate (2008), who received his optometry degree (OD) from Indiana University in 2016. McPike scored second highest in the country on the “Patient Assessment and Management” optometry board exam.

In an era of medical practices becoming more hospital-owned and operated, Whipple’s practice has continued to be independently owned and operated for 25 years. It’s important to Whipple that his office provide state-of-the-art care in a friendly environment where the phone is still answered by a real person.

“It’s convenient having all three services — ophthalmologist, optometrist and optician—in the same office,” says Whipple, who originally opened his practice in Avon because his wife, Libby, wanted to raise their children near her hometown of Plainfield.

Whipple has always surrounded himself with a patient-focused eye care team. His optician, Rebecca Williams, and optometrist, Elise Smith, will have been at the practice 20 years next January. Dr. Daniel Spitzberg has been practicing ophthalmology in the central Indianapolis area for more than 40 years.

“The kids are all grown, and we’re waiting on grandkids,” Whipple says. “Avon has been a great place to raise a family and own a business. I’ve watched the community grow up all around me. Although we utilize the latest technology, we still provide old-fashioned care and concern for our patients.”

AVON HIGH SCHOOL BAND DIRECTOR TO RETIRE AFTER YEARS Writer / Heather Chastain Photographer / Brian Brosmer

In addition to the marching band, the program also consists of drumline, three color guards and three concert winds, all under Webb’s direction. Webb came to Avon in 1993. “We had 85 kids in band that year,” he says. “Last year, we marched around 240. I told them [the students] that first year, ‘one day you’ll see! We’re going to be great!’ No one believed me.”

“I’ve been in high school since the ‘70s,” Webb laughed. “It’s hard. It’s a hard job. We His vision for the Avon Marching Black and just do so much more now than we ever Gold began long before he ever knew where did before.” Avon was located.

grade, he began taking band classes in his hometown in Florida and then got into the drumline and drum corps. In 7th grade, he told his mom, “I want to be a band director and have the best band in the country,” said the Butler graduate. After teaching at Center Grove High School and bringing the drumline to their band program, Webb says he started to see how he wanted to model his own band program. “After teaching there, I just had this vision, and I knew I wanted to produce the best program I was capable of producing,” Webb says.

Avon’s band program now has 40 state championships and 10 national championships. Webb is quick to add his goals for the band were not simply about winning. “It’s about going against the best and seeing how you stack up,” he says. “It’s about the process of being excellent. Work ethic, discipline, being flexible, being able to think on your feet, learning how to take criticism, those are the things I value most,” he says.

feel a part of something so much bigger than I could have ever experienced, says Jaclyn Moore. “I found a group of friends, community, the discipline of hard work and success. “He taught me so much more than music. He taught great work ethic, compassion for others and how to be part of a group that has so many personalities and backgrounds.” As the program has grown, Webb said he’s starting to see what he calls “legacy kids” now.

A man who always strived for perfection, took a disappointing loss and turned it into a teachable moment. “1996 was the first year the marching band didn’t make state finals,” Webb says. “It was also the first year we competed in BOA [Bands of America]. We were on a waiting list to get in. They still weren’t familiar with our program. But we needed to compete against the best. We finished in the 80s that year.” Looking back over his career, Webb says he always gave his heart and wanted to create an experience that was positively life changing. One former student said she considers Webb one of the most influential people in her life. “Through the band program I was able to AvonMagazine.com / AUGUST 2017 / AVON MAGAZINE / 15

“It seems like families stick with us,” he says. “We get siblings, cousins and now we get kids of previous students coming back to be part of the band.” Webb said he’s been very blessed to be at Avon. “It gave me the freedom to allow me to grow into what I could be and what the band can be,” Webb says. Though, he said he couldn’t have produced

a program like Avon’s without help. Webb credits Bob Row, the former band director (1973-1990), for paving the way for the band program and for hiring him, Barbara Doll, who began as a volunteer, Cathy Clemmensen, directors Matt Harloff and Robert Burns and the band boosters. His colleagues said his impact has been widespread. “Working with Jay Webb for the past 10 years has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my 23-year career,” says Department Chairman Dean Westman. “His commitment to excellence, his endless dedication, and his care for all our students is truly inspiring. Jay is an icon in the world of music education and means so much to so many here at home. I learn something every day I spend teaching with him and am proud to call him a colleague and friend.” As for the future, Webb plans to stick around town and stay involved with the band, but slow down a little bit.

A SUMMER OF KINDNESS AVON MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENT ENCOURAGES THE COMMUNITY TO SPREAD KINDNESS Writer / Christy Heitger-Ewing

It came as no surprise to Sylvia Lane when her 12-year-old son, Maddix, informed her that he had thought of a special summer project. His mission? To spread kindness, love and happiness to members of the Avon community.

them the card to encourage the recipient to the front of his neighborhood during the pay it forward. hottest day of the year. “It makes me feel good inside when I give to others,” Maddix says.

But he wanted to extend the goodness beyond just himself, so he launched the Summer Kindness Challenge, hoping to He started by creating cards that impart inspire others in the community to take positive messages and words of affirmation. part as well. For example, he drew a picture of a diamond and included the words, “You His kind acts vary from day to day, but shine bright like a diamond. Please pass examples include distributing homemade the sparkle on.” He then demonstrates cookies and cupcakes, taping quarters some random act of kindness to a friend, to vending machines and grocery carts, neighbor or total stranger, then hands and setting up a free lemonade stand at 18 / AVON MAGAZINE / AUGUST 2017 / AvonMagazine.com

“We’ll be out running errands that any kid dreads, but instead of complaining Maddix spends the time brainstorming ideas for how to make people smile,” Sylvia says. “We’ll be in a parking lot, Maddix will see a mom with a bunch of little kids, and he’ll ask if he can go over and lend a hand.” Sylvia notes that often when nice things happen to adults, they tend to get busy with life and forget to pass on the good vibes. The card acts as a tangible reminder to do something kind for someone else just as something kind was done for them.

#SUMMERKINDNESSCHALLENGE Maddix thought the Summer Kindness Challenge was a good idea because he says that the holidays are already covered. “In December people donate to toy drives and charities, but why can’t it be like that throughout the year?” he asks. Maddix decided the change could start with him. He would do something nice and invite others in the community to follow suit. To track the progress of his campaign, he asks those who participate to post to social media with the hashtag #SummerKindnessChallenge. “This is an opportunity to show off all the good things our community members are doing,” Sylvia says. The whole purpose of the Kindness Campaign is to get folks to become more aware of spreading joy and compassion. And what’s more is that any age, race and religion can participate in this project — there’s no right or wrong way to be kind. “Kindness is free,” Maddix says. “You can make someone’s day simply by smiling, waving or holding open a door.” Maddix, who just began seventh grade at Avon Middle School North, has always had an empathetic heart and giving spirit. “Ever since he was a little boy, if he saw a lone kid on the playground, he would invite them to play with him,” Sylvia says. “He’s so positive and friendly.” Each night, the family gathers round the dinner table to engage in a daily ritual called, “The Happy and the Crappy” where everyone communicates something good and something bad about their day. Maddix, whose perspective always bends toward the positive, inevitably brings levity to the meal.

“KINDNESS IS FREE. YOU CAN MAKE SOMEONE’S DAY SIMPLY BY SMILING, WAVING, OR HOLDING OPEN A DOOR.”

“Even with the crappy, he finds a way to spin it into a positive,” Sylvia says. “He just shines.” Bright like a diamond. AvonMagazine.com / AUGUST 2017 / AVON MAGAZINE / 19

A WARNING TO AVON RESIDENTS Writer / Melissa Gibson

My 87-year-old grandfather recently received a call from his grandson, Adam. Adam told him he had been in an accident, was in jail and would require $1,800 for bail. The conversation was charged with emotion. Adam was sobbing, hard to understand, but had pertinent information that made sense at the time. He begged his grandfather not to tell his parents and the pressure to get the situation under control before it got worse was evident.

went immediately down to the CVS in Avon to wire the money. The "lawyer" requested grandpas cell phone number and throughout the process grandpa received three more calls, he realized in hindsight, to rush the process along. Fortunately, an employee at CVS stopped to help and recognized an all too familiar scene.

She called the Avon police, who in turn checked with the Hendricks County jail and discovered Adam had not been in any accident, nor had he been in the jail for any amount of time. The phone number was Grandpa spoke to a "lawyer", received untraceable and once the caller got wind of instructions to wire bail money and with heart someone questioning the situation, he was pounding and a desire to help his grandson, he not heard from again.

The phone call was a scam. Perhaps most interesting, the employee at CVS said she sees this exact scenario two to three times per week. The scam focuses on the elderly and has believable information about the young person calling to seek help. Double check the facts before allowing emotions to take over. The scammer will be playing highly on emotion and pressured time constraints. Please be aware of these types of phone calls and, if in doubt, contact the police prior to wiring money.

Over the last 10 seasons, Purdue football has won 35 games and made two bowl appearances (both losses). In the last four years, the team has scraped together an average of two victories. Maybe most disturbing, Purdue hasn’t beaten arch-rival Indiana since 2012. Several pre-season polls anticipate more of the same, projecting only a couple of wins for the Boilermakers in 2017.

New Purdue head coach Jeff Brohm isn’t promising any miracles, but optimism is again stirring in West Lafayette.

Brohm played college football at Louisville, where he was a three-year starter at quarterback. After graduation, he spent seven seasons in the NFL with stints at Cleveland, “We want to field a team that’s competitive Denver, Tampa, San Francisco, Washington and fights to win every game,” Brohm says. and San Diego. When his playing days “Purdue is a place with great academics, ended, Brohm served as an assistant coach and West Lafayette is a great college town. at Louisville, Florida Atlantic, Illinois, UAB People are starving for success, and they and Western Kentucky before his selection as want to see the football program step up and head coach at Western. do well. Brohm’s teams won 30 games over three seasons at WKU, including a pair of bowl “We need to deliver.” victories. His 2016 team led the nation in INDY METRO / AUGUST 2017 / TownePost.com

scoring at over 45 points per game while Purdue was averaging under 25. The “Cradle of Quarterbacks” may see a return to lofty scoring levels at some point, but for now the coach sees his defense as being a bit ahead of the offense. “Our running backs and tight ends are probably going to be our strengths on offense,” he says. “We have to continue to get better on the offensive line and build some depth. At quarterback, we must be more consistent.

“I’m probably a little more optimistic on defense. But once we get past the first team, we’re not where I’d like to be depth-wise.” Brohm has been busily recruiting freshmen, but he’s also added immediate help with some graduate transfers. Josh Okonye is a versatile defensive back from Wake Forest, and wide receiver Corey Holmes will have two seasons of eligibility after graduating from Notre Dame. Despite the recent seasons of futility, Brohm believes Purdue can attract high-level student-athletes. “We have a lot to offer at Purdue,” he says. “The academic reputation, the Big Ten conference and the opportunity to play against the best teams in the country. And, to be honest, playing time. We don’t have the depth we’d like, so a guy can come in and be a difference-maker. “I think we’re making strides,” he adds. “It’s just going to be a matter of getting out there and competing, keeping guys healthy, getting a little momentum and maybe winning a game we’re not supposed to.”

Indiana University Head Football Coach Tom Allen didn’t come to his job in the usual way. He joined the IU staff in 2016 as defensive coordinator after serving in the same role at South Florida. Within days of the end of the 2016 season - and only weeks before IU was to appear in the Foster Farms Bowl - he was selected to replace Kevin Wilson. “When you take a job you’re not usually trying to get ready for a bowl game in the next month,” Tom Allen says. “Even though there was a lot of uncertainty, guys locked arms and stepped up.”

The Indiana native not only had to coach his team through a bowl game, but try to hold on to the recruits who had already committed to IU and assemble a staff of assistant coaches. “Right after that, recruiting became the focus, and during the same time, we were putting together a staff,” Allen says. “It really did (turn out well). I think it helped that I was here before. We only lost one player who had committed. You never know how that’s going to work out.” The IU defense made huge strides in 2016, reducing the number of points yielded per game by over 27 percent. Allen believes his defense still has room to improve.

“We really did have dramatic improvement (last year), but I want to be a top 25 defense this year,” he says. “We just have to build on that momentum. Red zone defense is an area we have to focus on. We forced field goals, but we didn’t block many, and last year we didn’t finish (games) as well as I’d like to.” The coach was heavily involved in recruiting last year, but one newcomer is especially familiar. Freshman linebacker Thomas Allen from Tampa Plant High School signed with his father’s team last summer. The younger Allen reportedly received offers from Rutgers, South Florida and other Division I schools, and was listed in the top 100 linebackers nationally. Coach Allen admits that it’s sometimes a struggle not to blur the lines between coach and father. “It can be hard to separate,” he says. “I mean, he’s still your son, and you find your eyes going to him. So, that’s something you just have to focus on.” Both Allens will be trying to raise the bar for Indiana University football in 2017. The program has frequently slipped into the shadow cast by men’s basketball, but Coach Allen means to change that. “Our objective is to contend for a Big Ten championship,” he says. “We don’t have a strong history. We haven’t won a bowl game since before our players were born. We have to start winning them.” TownePost.com / AUGUST 2017 / INDY METRO

A SECOND CHANCE FORMER COLTS CHEERLEADER BATTLES MENTAL ILLNESS, PURSUES LIFELONG DREAM

Writer / Christy Heitger-Ewing

It was 1999 and Denae Ball slipped into her sleek, sparkly Colts cheerleader uniform and marched onto the football field to dance, cheer and wave to the roaring crowd. From the sidelines and in the spotlight, she was the picture of health. Pom-poms in hand, she hit her mark and fit the bill as a bubbly cheerleader. Inside the crevices of her mind, however, something wasn’t right. “I put on a smile and sugarcoated my feelings when I was out in public,” says Ball, who cheered for the Colts from 1999-2000. “But when I came home, things got really dark. Deep down I felt completely inadequate.”

Curled into a ball on the couch, Ball shook, sobbed and questioned her very existence. “I was in turmoil,” says Ball, now 41. And she hadn’t a clue about how to turn things around. It seemed simpler to sweep her emotions under the rug and forge ahead, both on the field and off. Though her low moments were intensely low, she also experienced times of utter elation. But even those euphoric highs got to be too much. “I felt out of my mind,” Ball says. “I was talking so fast that people around me couldn’t keep up with my thoughts.” It turns out, Ball was manic-depressive (or bipolar), though she wouldn’t receive that diagnosis for some time. AvonMagazine.com / AUGUST 2017 / AVON MAGAZINE / 29

Instead of seeking medical advice or therapy, Ball turned to drugs to escape the darkness. “When you have mental illness, you want instant relief from the twists and turns of your mind,” says Ball, who spent two and a half years on hard drugs, including marijuana, opiates, crack, cocaine and heroin. The lifestyle took its toll on every relationship in her life, including those with her children, Mylon and Amari, both teenagers at the time. It wasn’t until 2004 that Ball was officially diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Through the years, Ball tried every medication under the sun—from herbal supplements and vitamins to mood-

stabilizing medications such as Prozac. Some worked, some didn’t. One day when she was feeling completely flattened by depression, she tried something radical. She expressed gratitude. “When you’re thankful for what you have, the hourglass turns around the other way so that instead of feeling depleted, you feel filled,” Ball says. She thought about all the people in her life who never left her corner, including her family, friends, ministers and God. “So often we tend to operate out of a place of lack rather than out of a place of abundance,” Ball says. “We wallow in self-pity, and usually that’s because we spend so much time comparing ourselves with others.” Mark Twain said that comparison is the death of joy. It creates feelings of envy, low self-esteem and depression. Ball spent years convinced that she was not good enough — until she experienced clarity. That’s when she began to actively pursue her lifelong goal of becoming a massage therapist — a dream that took shape as a young child. “As a little girl, I visited my Aunt Cynthia, and she had me massage and scratch her scalp,” Ball says. “She just loved it, and I knew right then and there that I wanted to do this as a career.”

Ball lived in Atlanta for a time where she took a course in massage while simultaneously working as an apprentice under a friend of hers who owned a massage studio. When Ball moved to Indianapolis in the fall of 1998, she began working in various spas and chiropractic offices. When her addiction overtook her, however, her life ambitions took a backseat, as did everything else. “My life basically slid to the back burner as my illness took over,” Ball says. Once she re-engaged with her passion, healing followed. “When I massage people, I fall into almost a meditative state where I find calmness, reflection and gratitude,” says Ball, who began offering free massages for women at the Julian Center, an organization that supports victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and other life crises.

never forsake me,” Ball says. Neither did her husband, Kevin, her mother, Cindy, or her pastors at Living Water Fellowship Church, Kim and Steve Outlaw. Ball is grateful that God has helped her battle her demons and conquer her depressive thoughts. She no longer is considered bipolar and is now the owner of Angel Touch Therapy & Consulting in Avon. She’s currently enrolled at the Indiana Therapeutic Massage School to obtain her massage licensing and certification, which she expects to get by the end of the year. After having suffered with bipolar and paranoia for more than 22 years, Ball has learned to put her trust in God and is now healthy, happy and full of hope. “My struggles have made me into the strong woman I am today,” Ball says. “I have much more growth to obtain, but I am currently fearless in my walk and path.”

Ball’s greatest ally throughout her mental health struggle has been God. Though she She’s passionate about voicing was raised in the church, it wasn’t until 2005 authenticity and boldly sharing her story that she had an awakening of sorts. of how God led her to realize that there is hope beyond the hurt and pain of dealing “I was smoking weed, and I attended one of with mental illness. those ‘come as you are’ churches,” Ball says. Even as she abused drugs, she prayed for “The moment you start acting like life is a the strength to break her addiction. She also blessing, it starts feeling like one,” Ball says. prayed for protection, power and peace. She received all three.

TAPPING THE LIBERTY BELL AVON HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT ENJOYS HISTORIC MOMENT IN PHILADELPHIA Writer / Christy Heitger-Ewing

n July 4th, when the majority of the country was grilling burgers, sipping cold drinks and watching fireworks light up the sky, Avon resident Madelynne Hunter was in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, doing something that only a rare few can — she was tapping the Liberty Bell. Madelynne was afforded this unique opportunity because she’s the greatgreat-great-great-great-great-great granddaughter of Abraham Clark, one of the 56 original signers of the Declaration of Independence. Madelynne, a senior at Avon High School, is not only the first descendent from the Hoosier state to participate, but she’s also the first ancestor of Clark’s to ever tap the bell (it gets “tapped” rather than “rung” because it’s cracked). According to the Society of the

Descendants of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence, the society was formed on July 4, 1907, at the Jamestown Exposition near Norfolk, Virginia, where descendants of the signers of the Declaration of Independence had gathered upon invitation of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Association and the Exposition officials to celebrate the 131st anniversary of the Declaration. Now every Fourth of July, six adolescents (all under the age of 17) gather in Independence Hall in sections that are closed to the public, don a pair of pristine white gloves and gingerly tap the bell. “It’s an honor to be able to represent my family lineage, Abraham Clark, and the other signers of the Declaration of Independence by tapping the Liberty Bell,” Madelynne says. “Their vision, courage and sacrifice for this amazing country is a humbling reminder not only of what they did for me but also for what I, in turn, owe to the next generation.” Jill says it took her husband’s aunt, Shirley Smith, three years to prove they are descendants of Clarks. “And she has a Ph.D. in history!” Jill says. Now the family proudly displays a framed signed paper from the government acknowledging that they are, indeed, of the lineage of Clark, an American politician and Revolutionary War figure. A delegate for New Jersey to the Continental Congress, he later served in the United States House of Representatives in both the Second and Third United States Congress. This past spring, Madelynne was inducted into the Avon School and Community Ambassador Program (ASCAP). Comprised of juniors and seniors, as a member of the ASCAP, she represents the school district to community members and beyond. “I’m lucky to have the opportunity to represent the Avon community and am so thankful for their tremendous support,” says Madelynne, who plans to attend Grace College in Winona Lake, Ind., in the fall of 2018, where she will study Business Marketing. “Though Clark faced a lot of persecution for signing the declaration in 1776, we are very proud to be able to honor his legacy,” Jill says.

MEET DR. RACHEL SCOTT

HENDRICKS REGIONAL HEALTH PLASTIC & RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY

Writer / Jon Shoulders

Dr. Rachel Scott, a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon at Hendricks Regional Health in Danville, says a remodeling at the nationally recognized facility has helped to maximize its comprehensive, state-of-the-art oncology, radiology and plastic surgery divisions. “There was already a very wellestablished radiology section for doing mammography and other breast imaging, but when I arrived and the breast surgeons arrived, we decided to combine forces both from a strategy standpoint as well as geography,” says Scott, who joined Hendricks Regional Health in July of 2015. “Hendricks was able to remodel the space and give us physical continuity of care, from the radiology to the breast surgical oncologists to my plastic surgery office, so the patients that are needing those services can literally walk down the hallway.”

you’ll never know the answer,” Dr. Scott says. “If someone has a question about whether they’re appropriate for a plastic surgery procedure or whether it’s something that their insurance might cover, you should never hesitate to call and ask, or call and schedule a consultation visit.”

Scott is board certified in both plastic surgery and general surgery and says while plastic surgeons are generally known for the cosmetic services they are able to provide, a large part of the plastic surgery profession is devoted to reconstructive procedures including wound, breast and burn reconstruction, hand surgeries and facial injuries.

Hendricks also stresses the importance of communicating with insurance providers to determine whether desired services will be covered, as providers will not typically cover strictly cosmetic procedures, there is a spectrum of what she calls “borderline” procedures that may be covered including breast reduction, scar revisions or body contouring surgery after drastic weight loss.

“Plastic surgery is a very wide spectrum of practice,” she says. “We literally operate on everything from the very top of the head to the bottom of the foot and everywhere in between. We’re all trained in both cosmetic procedures as well as a wide variety of reconstructive procedures. And the one thing that I think a lot of people are unaware of is that we also treat a lot of hand injuries.”

“Whether it’s someone that I released their carpal tunnel, someone that I reconstructed their breasts, or someone that I did a tummy tuck for, my goal is to bring a smile to their face and make them feel like their life is better having had the surgery,” Scott adds. “There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing the huge smile on people’s faces, especially when they look at their before and after pictures.”

Scott says for those considering plastic surgery, whether for cosmetic or reconstructive purposes, she recommends scheduling a consultation to get all initial questions thoroughly answered. “If you just make assumptions and never take the leap

It’s already August, and that means school will soon be back in session, and a new sports season is just around the corner. The excitement of cheering on your favorite team makes it easy to forget just how uncomfortable those bleachers can be, at least until you feel that dull, aching lower back pain. While there’s not an official name for the discomfort caused by sitting on bleachers, this pain is often called Bleacher Back. What is it about those hardwood or metal bleachers that causes so much pain? “Sitting on hard or metal stadium seating causes pain simply because bleachers are hard, so it puts pressure on the bones we use while sitting,” says Amanda Gargano, nurse practitioner in The Spine Center at Indiana University Health West Hospital. “Also, with no back support, the pressure can cause inflammation.”

The pressure caused by sitting on bleachers can eventually cause strain on the lower back and core muscles, but the solution is simple. In fact, your mother has been encouraging it for years. “The best way to prevent bleacher back is to maintain good posture,” says Nathan Prahlow, MD in The Spine Center at IU Health West Hospital. “In a casual environment like a basketball game, it’s easy to slouch without realizing you’re doing it. To decrease the chance of prolonged back pain, it’s important to intentionally think about your posture.” In addition to practicing good posture, don’t stay in the same sitting position throughout the entire event. Change sitting positions, stretch and give your back a break by taking a walk. It’s also helpful to invest in a stadium chair that provides back support. 38 / AVON MAGAZINE / AUGUST 2017 / AvonMagazine.com

After the game, a little bit of back pain is normal. Try stretches that target the lower back, icing the back or taking over-thecounter pain relievers. If pain persists, it may be time to schedule an appointment with a specialist. “If a person experiences neck or back pain that doesn’t resolve with rest or over-thecounter pain relievers, it’s time to make an appointment,” Dr. Prahlow says. “If the pain gets worse, or if a person feels weakness, numbness or tingling in the arms or legs, those also are signs to be seen.” The Spine Center at IU Health West Hospital treats a variety of spine problems involving muscles, joints and nerves. To make an appointment with one of the highly skilled physicians in The Spine Center at IU Health West Hospital, please call 317-217-2225.

THE TYE DYE LAB OPENS IN AVON Writer / Heather Chastain

The country’s first do it yourself tie dye studio is now in Avon. The Tie Dye Lab, located at Avon Station, opened its doors in June and is already making a colorful imprint on the community. “It’s fun. Everyone seems to have fun doing it,” says co-owner Bart Fisher. “We are big into family. We’ve coached teams and been involved in CYO activities, and we wanted something everyone could do. We enjoy seeing their smiles and watching them create things.”

This is the first do-it yourself tie dye studio where you can do most of the dying yourself and leave with your product in 30 to 45 minutes. You can tie dye so much more than t-shirts. You can also tie dye hats, socks, beach towels, bandanas, draw string bags and onesies. The Tie Dye Lab offers 28 colors to choose from and five different designs. You can choose from spirals, stripes, bullseye, sunburst and crumples. Tie Dye was popular in the 80s and has not been as mainstream in the last decade, but Bart isn’t calling the tie dye process a comeback. 42 / AVON MAGAZINE / AUGUST 2017 / AvonMagazine.com

“I really don’t think it ever went away,” he says. “There has always been tie dye. I just think we have made it more convenient.” The Tie Dye Lab supplies you with everything you need to make a nearly finished product when you walk out the door. The product will be damp when you leave, and you must wash it once you get home. Bart’s wife Terri says she spent a great deal of time researching tie dye techniques and learning about the dye so each customer could leave with their product the same day.

The Fishers’ idea to start a tie dye business first came to them in 2006. A friend of the Fishers told them to check out an art studio in Kansas offering tie dye on the side. They tossed around the idea of opening a tie dye studio, but the timing wasn’t right. Last year, the Fishers, along with their business partners Jerry and Barb Kozlowski, owners of several Culver’s locations, resurrected the idea and The Tie Dye Lab was formed. Bart says they love the final stage of the tie dye process the best. “Seeing someone imagine what they want, pick the colors and the design, create their item, and then be able to see what they created before they leave is the best part of the Lab,” Bart says. “The final phase. The joy that someone has made something like nothing else and that they will get to wear it possibly that day. It’s pretty cool.” Kate Fisher works at the Lab and says she enjoys seeing what everyone creates. “Everybody is so creative and unique,” she says. “The other day one girl said, ‘uh oh’ and I said, ‘there are no mistakes in tie dye!’ No matter what you do it’s always going to be cool, and it’s always going to be different.” The Plainfield senior is a member of the volleyball team and said they are planning a team building night to come in and make warm-up shirts. The Tie Dye Lab can also do logo transfers and then you can tie dye on top. Walk-ins are encouraged. A reservation is requested for a group or party of eight or more. Parties can bring in their own snacks and decorations. Each party will also have a dedicated staff person to help them with their designs. All ages can tie dye, however they discovered that eight and under typically need extra help and certain designs are easier than others. While there will be staff to guide everyone, parents of children 8 years old should be ready to help with the process.

Hearts On a Mission LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL YOUTH TRAVEL TO HAITI AND INDIA TO HELP CHILDREN Writer / Christy Heitger-Ewing

Local girls Aubrey Jones (14) and Julianne Fowler (17) chose to spend their school breaks helping others. When Aubrey signed up to go to Haiti on a mission trip, she didn’t want to show up empty handed. She sold hand-made cards, held a garage sale, collected change and donated her own birthday cash so that she could buy sports balls and hand-deliver them to the Haitian boys and girls. Ultimately, she raised more than $700, enabling her to buy 100 full-size soccer balls and 50 durable playground balls. She then had the words “Balls & Truth for Haiti’s Youth: John 3:1617” printed on them. Aubrey’s mom Tabatha is beyond proud of her daughter’s giving spirit. “Her heart is so big, and the compassion she has for those less fortunate is truly inspiring,” says Tabatha, noting that ever since Aubrey was a little girl she has adored telling others about Jesus. “I’ve always loved sports, and I wanted to combine that love of sports with sharing the gospel with others,” Aubrey says. “Boys and girls everywhere need to know how much they are loved and 54 / AVON MAGAZINE / AUGUST 2017 / AvonMagazine.com

experience the joy of playing sports. I hope to always play a small part in making that happen.” Julianne Fowler shares in Aubrey’s compassion for others. She recently accompanied her father on a mission trip to India to work with Save the Girl, a foundation that partners with schools and families throughout Southeastern India that helps families send their daughters to school. “Life is so much better when you focus on how you can love others,” says Julianne, who recognized that in the United States schooling has become an expectation, not a gift. “I wanted to find a way to share that blessing with girls [in India who are] my same age.” After raising funds through t-shirt, album and craft sales, Julianne spoke at the schools whose students she helped sponsor. “Leaving the States was easy, but coming home was a million times harder,” Julianne says. “Giving up a small amount of my time to spend it showing God’s love to others is [a privilege.]” To learn more about Save the Girl, visit savegirl.org.

A Critterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chance VP, Kelly Thomas & Tanner.

A CRITTER’S CHANCE NON-PROFIT HELPS EXOTIC AND FARM ANIMALS FIND HEALTH, HAPPINESS & HOMES Writer / Christy Heitger-Ewing

Founded in February 2006 as a nonprofit animal advocacy organization, A Critter’s Chance was run for seven years by wildlife rehabber Michelle Manker who started a rescue center for abandoned and injured exotic animals. Sadly, Manker passed away in 2013 and the group briefly fizzled. In 2014, however, animal advocates resurrected the organization. Amanda Nosie is now the president, and Kelly Thomas, the vice president, lives on and runs the 8-acre property in Avon. The non-profit relies on volunteers to transport animals, build shelters, maintain habitats and provide experienced foster care homes.

“Most of these animals come from abused or neglected situations,” Thomas says. “We do home checks and references to ensure the animals are healthy and safe.” The organization adopts and rescues exotics (meaning any wild animal that’s not native to Indiana and is bought as a pet). They’ve housed a wide variety of critters, including pigs, roosters, goats, porcupine, foxes, rabbits, horses, birds, peacocks, turtles and iguanas. Currently, Thomas is even fostering a muntjac, which is a miniature deer that’s native to southern Asia. “A family dropped off a trailer full of animals, and this muntjac, whom I named Taco, was among them,” says Thomas. A Critter’s Chance also took in Flash, an AvonMagazine.com / AUGUST 2017 / AVON MAGAZINE / 57

African spurred tortoise that the DNR confiscated from a woman who had locked it in a dark, cold shed. It was a dangerous environment for an animal who needs 70+ degree temperatures to thrive. “Unfortunately, there are plenty of breeders in Indiana who sell these animals, but the care instructions don’t typically go along with the sale,” says Thomas, who takes Sheldon, another African spurred tortoise on field trips around town to educate the community about proper animal care. Sheldon, who, for the past eight years, has been a permanent resident at A Critter’s Chance, has unwittingly become the group’s mascot. Because he was malnourished when he was young, his shell is deformed.

“They’re strictly herbivores, so when they’re fed protein, it can create problems in their joints and bones to the point that the shell can grow the opposite way and end up crushing their organs or cutting off a limb,” Thomas explains. “People need to do their research before buying these animals as pets.” Flash, however, recently found a new home in sunny Florida, thanks to Southwest Airlines who kindly donated a seat for Flash to fly down to her new sanctuary in Jacksonville. The non-profit depends on donations to pay their hefty vet and food bills. Plus, they spay and neuter every animal who comes in. In addition, certain creatures like foxes are territorial and are not meant to live in residences so volunteers must build private enclosures as these will be the animals’ permanent homes.

The organization keeps track of every animal that comes in, even a flock of chickens. Intake for 2016 was 443 and total for this year (as of early June) was just under 200. Thomas says the organization desperately needs farm animal fosters. “People get these cute pot-bellied pigs that they think are going to stay small but they don’t,” Thomas says. “Pigs aren’t allowed unless you’re zoned for agriculture, and most people live in subdivisions with HOAs.”

animal,” Thomas says. In the spring, people also release baby ducklings onto ponds without knowing they can’t fly. When the ponds freeze over, they have nothing to drink or eat, essentially rendering them helpless.

The organization uses social media and Petfinder to find suitable homes for the critters. And though most of the animals come in from Indiana, they get calls from other states as well. Last year two pigs were adopted and moved to Iowa. Thomas’ Many of the animals that come to A Critter’s farm currently has four horses, six pigs, Chance are a result of poor planning or countless chickens, roosters, ducks and faulty logic. For example, they get tons of rabbits, several foxes, a parrot, peacocks, rabbits just after Easter when people change quail, pheasants and, of course, Taco and their minds about raising a bunny. Sheldon. Warmer weather months see a rise in adoptions simply because, logistically “A domestic rabbit can’t fend for or speaking, it’s harder to take in an outdoor camouflage itself so releasing it into animal in the winter. the world is like leaving bait for a wild 58 / AVON MAGAZINE / AUGUST 2017 / AvonMagazine.com

“As soon as the animals are healthy enough to be adopted, we’re eager to find them homes so we can make room for others,” Thomas says. She’d love to place a mare and her baby, who, when they first arrived, were nothing but bones. The mare was so malnourished that she couldn’t produce milk for her baby. Now they are both beautiful and healthy, running the fields with shiny coats and happy neighs. Witnessing such miraculous transformations is precisely why Thomas is dedicated to this work. “When we first get an animal in, you can see the fear in their eyes,” Thomas says. “They’re hurt, they’re hungry, they’re wary. Over time, they learn to trust people again, even looking excited to see people.” The organization keeps an up-todate Amazon wish list so anyone who is interested in making a donation may visit their Facebook page. They’re always in need of hay, medical supplies (saline, iodine) and grocery store gift cards. “We buy a ton of poultry to feed the foxes,” Thomas says. Right now, they’re trying to raise money for new roofing on the pens as some of the roofing got blown off in a tornado. They would also like to build durable aviaries and fox pens that will protect the animals from sun, rain and snow. “These domestics rely on people because they can’t take care of themselves,” Thomas says. “They’re at a loss and they get let down. That’s why we’re here — to be their voice.” For more information or to ask about volunteer opportunities, e-mail acritterschance@gmail.com.
