SLAMMIN’ SUCCESS
CAMERON HOLLINS JUMPS INTO A UNIQUE CAREER PATH
Writer / Melissa Gibson
After graduating from Avon High School as a track-andfield star and drummer in the Avon Marching Black and Gold in 2014, Cameron “Cam Jam” Hollins ran track for Indiana State University.
He decided he wasn’t a huge fan of college, prompting him to begin searching for career options. He was bartending, modeling professionally and looking for his next opportunity.
Hollins said he could have never predicted where he ended up.
After hearing of a special team who entertained at Indiana Pacers home games at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, he decided to apply, and like many endeavors in life, it wasn’t without setbacks.
“I tried out for Pacers Power Pack and I was bad my first time, but they let me come to practice,” he said. “I think they saw potential in me but I wasn’t really ready to hit the ground running. I made sure at every practice I was showing improvement, and getting the next thing down as good as possible.”

Pacers Power Pack performs at the end of the third quarter at all home Pacers games. The high-energy dunkers spring off of trampolines in acrobatic moves. Each performance is different and Hollins has now been a member of the team since 2021.
“It’s really fun and I think people look forward to it,” he said. “We might do a front flip with a half turn, and toss the ball to another person. Maybe five or six of us are in a line and the last guy dunks, or we’ll do rapids where each of us take a turn. We’ve even had fans throw passes from their seats.”
It’s fun to watch from the stands, and it might surprise others to learn how much work and effort go into their performances. The team gathers twice per week to practice new moves, and just like any sport, there’s time needed for weightlifting, yoga and more.
“You have to train your body to be conditioned to pull these skills off,” Hollins said. “You have to work to be mentally and physically prepared.”
Hollins has traveled with Power Pack, performing in stadiums across the globe with the Pacers and the U.S. national team.
He also joined specialty team and current champions, MOB, for SlamBall; the professional event brings dunkers from all over the country to compete against each other in Las Vegas.
“With the Pacers it’s more about entertainment and showmanship,” Hollins said. “With SlamBall, it’s on ESPN highlights and focused on skill. I’d love to do it again. I love the challenge. I love finding new things to try and learning new things. It keeps me coming back for more.”
When Hollins saw the joy brought to audiences through this form of entertainment, he wanted to expand the options for himself and others by creating his own dunking company, Leaping Legends.
Why not make dunking a full-time job and bring fellow dunkers along for the ride?
“With Leaping Legends, we don’t have a set number of teammates,” he said. “Depending on where the shows are, I know a couple of guys performing with NBA teams all over the country. I want to give them opportunities to do this and make a living. We want to give back to the community and show that anything is possible if you stay dedicated and focused. There’s nothing you can’t do.”
Besides, how much fun would it be to take their dunking skills on tour and share their love of the sport with the world?
With his own dunking company, Hollins said he’s having fun expanding what can be done with these skills and entertainment options.
You don’t have to have a gymnasium to book a performance either. Hollins has a portable rim and trampolines, which means Leaping Legends can go to any function in any space.
“There’s so much creativity,” he said. “We push the limits. We’re dunking over a car or jumping over the principal in the high school gymnasium to dunk the ball. We want to do things that you couldn’t imagine until you saw it.”
In fact, he takes it as a challenge.
“This grew into something I love and something I never thought I’d be doing,” Hollins said. “Let’s push the limits and find in reality, we often think with a mental block. We can do far more beyond our wildest dreams.”
Hollins said it all started in Avon.
“To look at everything I’ve done, it’s all been a stepping stone to get further in life,” he said. “Track kept up my athleticism, and the drum line with the marching band taught me showmanship and presentation. Everything builds from there. It’s crazy how things come together.”
A quick search on YouTube with the name Cameron Hollins will share something else positive in Hollins’ life. He recently got
engaged at a Pacers game to his longtime girlfriend, Jada.
“This is the dream I didn’t know I wanted,” he said. “There are so many opportunities in the dunk world. The NBA sent us to Brazil for 10 days, I did a tour across America to do dunk shows and I’m headed out to Paris for a Pacers versus Spurs game in just a few weeks. I hope to do more, especially in my hometown.”

WITH HONORS
HENDRICKS COUNTY HONOR
GUARD CELEBRATES 25-PLUS YEARS OF LOCAL SERVICE
If you’ve attended a funeral with military honors, it was likely touching, emotional and full of tradition. The ceremony is meant to show respect and appreciation for those who served our country.
In 1999, a Hendricks County family was looking for a burial with military honors for their family member. The deceased was a prisoner of war during World War II, but there was no system in place to provide the special service and he wasn’t a member of the VFW or similar veteran organization.
Writer / Melissa Gibson
That didn’t stop two members of the local VFW from pulling together a team of five volunteers to perform military honors for their deceased brother.
That year, the nonprofit Hendricks County Honor Guard was formed, and members recently celebrated 25 years of service in the county.
“In 2024 we did 67 funerals, and since our existence in 1999, we’ve performed 1,238 funerals or roughly five per month,” said Michael Ries, vice commander. “We
do it to give the families closure and to recognize their service.”
Twelve members serve for each military funeral if possible.
There is a benediction by the chaplain, firing team commander, seven firing team members and a bugler. After the firing of the three volleys and playing of “Taps”, two members of the branch the veteran served in present a folded flag and 21 spent rifle cartridges to the family. The final act of honor is a salute toward the
veteran’s remains.
“It’s a tradition that every veteran with honorable discharge is entitled to,” said Andy Eldridge, commander. “They should receive the respect they deserve.”
With the loss of a loved one, many veteran family members are unaware of how the ceremony and honorable service works. It’s important to have the personal information available so the Honor Guard can perform their duty.
In order to be recognized, the family must have the veteran’s DD214 discharge papers.
“A lot of family members don’t know about this or know where it is, but it’s a very important document,” Ries said. “When you go to the funeral home to plan the funeral, you take it with you and the funeral home will contact us and the respective branch of service.”
Once notified by the funeral home with details, Ries said they begin contacting volunteer members with the date and time of the service, pulling together a team to perform the ceremony.
They’re also involved in community events and volunteer to provide various services across the county. In addition to funerals, the Hendricks County Honor Guard participates in Fourth of July parades, Memorial Day services, flagraising presentations and retirements. They present the colors at local events, ceremoniously displaying the American flag and the Indiana state flag.
For example, you can count on a team of members to serve at Indy Honor Flight events several times per year.
They support the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), and they serve at the annual Wreaths Across America program, Vietnam veteran dinners and more.
“We have two primary missions,” Eldridge said. “We want to make sure our
veterans receive the honors they deserve, and secondly, we want to support the county at civic and community events.”
For those who have never served, it’s a bond they might not understand.
Ries served in the U.S. Navy for four years during the Cold War period, and Eldridge served in the Air Force for more than 25 years.
In fact, they come from a long line of family members who have served their country. Ries’s father and uncle served in Vietnam. Eldridge’s grandfather, father, son, and now grandson, have all served.
“The national anthem at a ball game can be emotional,” Eldridge said. “You’ve served and helped your brothers and sisters in arms, and some of them never
came home. For me personally, ‘God Bless America’ is always emotional. You just think about those men and women who served with you, those who are currently serving and those who will serve after you. It makes you tear up.”
Ries plays “Taps” on the bugle at most of the funeral services with military honors.
“Every time I play ‘Taps’ it chokes me up,” he said. “‘Taps’ is the hardest. It’s important because this is giving back to the veterans who gave me the freedom to be able to serve my country.”
Eldridge said veteran organizations are often filled with lively banter, teasing and a common understanding, due to their shared experience. However, it’s all in good fun. They’ll be there for each other when the opportunity presents itself.
Ries agrees. “Whether you served in the Army, Navy, Air Force or Marines, we like to joke around about the different branches, but when it comes down to it, we’re all one family,” Ries said. “We have each other’s back. Andy can pick up the phone and the entire squad is at his door.”
Ries and Eldridge said the families they serve are always appreciative of their service, and donations come in from local American Legion locations, VFWs and the DAR. However, volunteers are always needed.
“Getting a full team is sometimes a challenge,” Eldridge said. “Some of the older members go to the south for the winter, some are dealing with medical issues, and half of us still work full time.”
They also have a positive relationship with surrounding honor guard units and will aid each other if there are multiple funerals in one day.
Joining in their mission won’t cost the volunteers a thing, other than their time.
“We do not charge the family for our services and we operate strictly on donations,” Ries said. “One of the misconceptions is you have to have prior military experience in order to participate. We welcome civilians and
we’ll properly train everyone. We also provide our volunteers with head-totoe uniforms. There is no monthly membership. It’s just having the heart to volunteer.”

RUFF READING
PAWS & THINK PROGRAM SEES LOCAL EXPANSION
Writer / Melissa Gibson
Reading can be a struggle for some. We all know a child, whether our own or someone else’s, who simply doesn’t enjoy picking up a book and reading it. For whatever reason, it doesn’t click. They stumble over words, have difficulty sounding out complex words, are embarrassed to read aloud, and eventually it’s easier to just give up.
It doesn’t have to be that way, however.
In 2001 Gayle Hutchens, RN, was looking for a career change and she found Dr. Bonnie Bergin in California, the founder of using therapy dogs for assistance at Canine Companions for Independence and the Assistance Dog Institute.
Therapy dogs were going into hospitals, nursing homes, schools and libraries to
bring joy and comfort to those around them.
She thought about children who struggle to read, and how the therapy dogs might put them at ease and make reading a fun experience.
Hutchens created Paws & Think in 2001, bringing the benefits of therapy dogs to people who need them in Indianapolis and surrounding areas, and libraries in Hendricks County are beginning to welcome the nonprofit to host their reading program.
“When readers are struggling, they don’t want to read; we avoid things when we think we’re not good at it or it’s difficult for us,” said Shannon Gaughan-Kelly, Paws & Think program coordinator of youth
services. “When children read with a dog, if they miss a word or don’t know something, the dog doesn’t judge.”
That’s right. Paws & Think simply invites a young reader (typically around first to third grade) to the library to sit down with an adorable pup who wants to listen to a story.
Brownsburg Public Library has offered the service for a few years now, but PlainfieldGuilford Township Public Library and the Avon-Washington Township Public Library have recently partnered with Paws & Think as well.
“At all three libraries, patrons sign up in advance for a 15-minute time slot,” Gaughan-Kelly said. “They come in and sit with the dog and their handler in a private room. The parents typically walk away. We
don’t want any hovering or correcting. They can take a picture before or after the session, and then it’s just time with the dog. They have the dog all to themselves and it’s all about them.”
Participants can bring their own book or pick one out at the library. If they already have half of the book memorized, GaughanKelly says ‘that’s OK’. The point is to get them reading.
Studies show petting an animal releases endorphins, and with no judgement from the dog, children are encouraged to read more and have a positive experience both physically and mentally.
“Kids are prone to magical thinking,” Gaughan-Kelly said. “They believe the dog is listening, and the truth is, dogs do like to be talked to. We talk to dogs in shelters and we know it’s good for them. We know there’s value for the dog there too.”
She said there used to be a waitlist for the Paws & Think program in Hendricks County, but with three libraries coming on board and a recent increase in interest for therapy dogs and handlers, the program has been able to expand.
Not only is it a great experience for the kids, but it’s also an inspiring experience for the teams.
“We have a Great Dane, a chihuahua, a couple of pit bulls, lots of doodles, lots of
goldens - all different shapes and sizes,” Gaughan-Kelly said. “I did it with my English cocker for several years before she passed away.”
Unfortunately, her two younger English cockers wouldn’t enjoy the program. Some dogs simply aren’t cut out for volunteering in this way.
“I think as a dog owner, you really have to consider their personality,” Gaughan-Kelly said. “You have to be able to read your dog and their body language, and be reflective about what they do or do not like as well.”
She’s quick to point out that if your potential therapy dog is mild mannered but wouldn’t work well with children, there are other avenues to volunteer. Perhaps your dog would be happier visiting adults in the hospital, or the elderly.
“You have to advocate for your dog,” Gaughan-Kelly said. “Watch their

Regulations prohibit wastes from businesses or other organizations from being accepted at Tox-Away Days Fees are charged for the recycling of TVs ($20/$25), appliances ($5/$10), and certain tires Cash and check only
body language and make sure they are comfortable too. There are lots of opportunities we can use dogs as therapy for people.”
For the Paws & Think library events, all therapy dogs complete a training program and handlers have the dog on a leash throughout the session. Even if the library has three teams come in, the dogs don’t interact with each other.
Volunteer teams have flexibility and can sign up on the Paws & Think calendar for a convenient time. It’s all about promoting the fun of reading in a positive way, and often inspires the volunteer teams to do more.
In one of Gaughan-Kelly’s volunteer sessions years ago, she watched as a mom became emotional as her son read to a dog. She later found out it was the first time the boy was willing to read out loud to anyone.
Paws & Think is breaking down barriers and making connections.
“Several children in Brownsburg come to read to the same dog each week,” Gaughan-Kelly said. “There are connections being built and that’s what libraries are for - to promote the love of reading.”
While there aren’t any steadfast facts showing children learn to read better or faster with the help of a therapy dog, Gaughan-Kelly said much of their results are anecdotal.
“We can track growth in our programs at the school and we know we’re being effective, but at the libraries it’s more about the parents saying attitudes about reading have changed and they’re showing more confidence,” she said. “We’re measuring so much more than test scores.”

PARLOR DOUGHNUTS FINDS A FLAVORFUL FOOTING IN HENDRICKS COUNTY
Writer / Melissa Gibson
If you haven’t stopped by Parlor Doughnuts in Avon, be prepared to see a level of creativity unmatched in other doughnut shops.
It all began just over five years ago in Evansville, and today Parlor Doughnuts is home to 70 locations across the country, including Indianapolis.
On November 30 the company opened
one of the newest locations in Avon, a longtime goal of Tanner Bell, owner of the Avon location.
He was there when it all began.
The unique doughnut shop was founded by Darrick Hayden in partnership with Josh Tudela in 2019. Hayden had the opportunity to travel with his son’s band for several years, and everywhere they
went, he made it a mission to seek out the best coffee and doughnuts.
“Darrick, our pastor at our church, had the idea,” said Bell. “He suggested a fancier doughnut. We combined it with our friend Noah’s coffee business and operated out of 700 square feet in the back of a restaurant.”
Back then, getting Parlor Doughnuts off
Tanner (center) & members of his crew
the ground with a young group of church friends included a lot of trial and error, but it’s safe to say the team is now hitting their stride.
“It started out by making doughnuts and just figuring it out,” said Bell. “The spark caught on in Evansville. It took off and people loved it. We had so much positive backing, we were able to get a much larger shop and then began taking it beyond our hometown. It’s exciting to
see how many people have bought into this vision. Our franchises are in nearly all states across the country. It’s just been an explosion.”
For Bell, after helping launch shops in Florida for three years, he made his way back to Indiana and opened his own franchise in Hendricks County.
“I started on the ground level and learned how to lead and manage along the way,”
said Bell. “We developed all of our systems from the ground up. As you faced a problem, you came up with a solution.”
WHY AVON?
Bell said he’s always had his eye on the area. In fact, Avon was the second location they looked into. However, at the time, development in Avon was booming and they couldn’t get in the door.
“It worked out for the better, but we always wanted to come back to Avon,” Bell said. “We love the community.”
They came up with the name Parlor Doughnuts when thinking about the parlors of the past - the rooms in houses where the community gathered, families were comfortable and connections were made.
The interior of each shop is designed with a parlor setting and comfort in mind, including plenty of couches and additional seating. They want families, co-workers and individuals to stop by and stay awhile. Bell said they’re continuing to improve, adding more inviting furniture as they go.
The doughnuts are perhaps the most striking, and were created by Hayden and his wife, Jennifer.
They began by letting customers choose their own flavors and combinations on each doughnut, but customizing one doughnut at a time proved to be too time
consuming. Instead, they chose twodozen assorted flavors, including already established fan favorites. They fry the doughnuts in small batches and then top them with a variety that might surprise you. French Toast, Carnival, Maple Bacon, Campfire, Bourbon Caramel and others are unique combinations that customers have discovered.
Many are vegan and gluten friendly, as well as keto friendly, and they add in seasonal offerings throughout the year. There’s even the Doggie Doughnut for our four-legged family members, and that’s not all.
“We also have a full breakfast menu open all day with coffee, and some unique options like the Açai Bowl, Bacon Breakfast Tacos and Spinach Pesto,” Bell said.
Hendricks County residents are starting to make Parlor Doughnuts a go-to stop on the way to work or on a relaxing weekend, and Bell said the additions to the breakfast menu are a great way to satisfy everyone’s taste buds.
“In the beginning I think there’s surprise,” Bell said. “This is a new, unique concept. They love it and they’re intrigued, and then in phase two they used to come for doughnuts. Now they’re stopping by for that full coffee menu and full breakfast menu.”
Up next, the drive-through has just been installed, providing one more convenience for doughnut lovers on the go. As the weather warms, Bell hopes more people will check it out as they continue to grow a following.
“We’re on the path of expansion,” Bell said. “We’ve talked about expanding the menu but nothing is officially in the works yet. For Hendricks County, we’re looking. We want to move into other areas and continue to serve the community.”
Parlor Doughnuts is located at 5201 East U.S. Highway 36 in Avon. Visit parlordoughnuts.com for more information.
