IGNITE STUDIO TO OPEN AT FISHERS LIBRARY NEW ART-MAKER SPACE SPARKS IDEAS

Writer & Photographer / Jocelyn Vare

The Fishers community’s creative environment will never be the same.

Hamilton East Public Library in Fishers (HEPL) will open the new Ignite Studio next summer. It will be the first permanent maker space to serve our community. At the Ignite Studio, you and your family can drop in and try your hand at a diverse collection of creative arts: paint, ink, textiles, digital design, audio, video and more. Art materials, workspace and howto information will be readily available to help you create. You can work as

independently as you wish, and, you can also receive guidance and tips from a fellow creator or a staff person.

environment where people come together to explore their own artistic potential and create something.”

Ignite Studio will occupy more than 15,000 square feet of the Fishers library’s lower level when it opens around May, 2018. It will be open to everyone, regardless of expertise or artistic interest. Ignite is fueled by creativity and collaboration.

It’s impossible to predict what art materials will be available every day when Ignite Studio opens in late spring 2018. The vision for Ignite is that it is an everchanging space with different art supplies being available constantly. One day, you could arrive at Ignite and choose a kit to learn how to crochet for the first time.

During your next visit to Ignite, you may interact with an artist at work and then try acrylic paints on canvas. Whether you are a first-timer, a dabbler or an expert, there is a place for you at the Ignite Studio.

“The Ignite Studio will be a place full of activity, color, sound and creative spirit,” says Edra Waterman, Director of the Hamilton East Public Library. “It will embrace the beauty of a chaotic and busy 6 / FISHERS MAGAZINE / SEPTEMBER 2017 / atFishers.com

It will never be the same experience twice, nor will it always look the same.

“On opening day, the interior walls of the Ignite Studio will be bare,” Waterman says. “They won’t be bare for long because visitors and staff artists will share their artwork after it is created, so Ignite will become an active art gallery, too.”

Ignite Studio will be open during regular library hours during the week and will be accessible through the library or by its own exterior entrance.

There is no cost to drop in and participate in a hands-on art project.

HEPL’s mission is to keep Ignite Studio accessible, free and welcoming for all.

Hamilton East Public Library aims to be the community’s connector to information and ideas. The idea for Ignite stemmed from several 2014 roundtable discussions with diverse community representatives.

The common thread across those discussions was a recognized need for arts creativity, learning and discovery opportunities. As ideas developed over the past few years to fulfill this community need, the Ignite Studio was born. Fittingly, Ignite Studio’s theme is “Ideas Spark Here.”

HEPL will be hiring an Ignite Studio Director this fall. The Director will be charged with managing the studio, artists and staff, as well as engaging the community at-large to participate. HEPL is leading the initial development of Ignite Studio, but people in the community will guide its future. As local artists, hobbyists, novices and kids start to participate, Ignite will form into a true Fishers creative collaboration.

HOLT DENTAL 7862 E 96th St. Fishers, IN 46037 (317) 576-9393 holtdentalindy.com

Writer / Lynda Hedberg Thies

About one-half of all Americans dread going to the dentist, and finding one that you trust can prove even more challenging. No one understands that better than Dr. Marie Holt of Holt Dental after having a bad experience as a child in a dentist office. The decision to open her practice 26 years ago was based on the philosophy that her patients must be treated like family and receive the best care in the industry. The Fishers practice includes a dedicated staff, newly renovated office and current technology.

It’s clear that patients are the top priority.

The Holt Dental mission statement was intentionally written with the patient’s best interest and reflect the core values such as integrity, courage, respect, excellence, improvement and service.

“It is important that the dentistry you receive is done right and will last a long time,” Dr. Holt says.

Dr. Holt’s passion for ensuring her patients receive the best care is reflected in her friendly and clearly valued staff, most have been with her for more than 10 years. The entire Holt Dental staff is focused on alleviating their patient’s fears about being in a dentist office, offering fair prices for their services and doing so with honesty and integrity. Dr. Holt’s mantra is to offer honest feedback, which she hopes will foster a trusting relationship to

help every patient achieve their “smile goals”.

Recently, the practice underwent the most significant office renovation in their 26-year history to maintain her commitment to make patients feel like family. When you enter, the waiting area feels more like a family room rather than an office. Newly painted grey and blue walls create a calm feeling throughout the practice treatment rooms and cleaning rooms. The renovated office offers a comfortable, relaxed setting that lends itself well to the friendly rapport Dr. Holt and her staff have with their long-time patients.

Holt Dental is a full-service practice that offers a range of services including preventative dentistry, restorative dentistry and cosmetic dentistry.

Holt Dental, Dr. Holt and her entire staff provide a relaxing, caring and family environment and the best technology in the industry.

If you are looking for a family dentist, contact Megan, the Office Manager, to schedule a consultation at 317-576-9393 and let Holt Dental meet your family’s dental needs.

GET READY FOR TASTEFUL TIMES

LOCAL COMPANY PACKAGES GOURMET FOOD & WINE Writer / Christy Heitger-Ewing Photographer / Jamie Sangar

Not surprisingly, the idea for family-owned Tasteful Times Gourmet Food & Wine Shop was born out of an evening involving family, food and wine.

This includes mostly Indiana products and especially local vendors, such as Best Chocolate in Town, Just Pop in Popcorn, Salt Sister Rubs, B.Happy Peanut Butter, Best Boy & Co., Capriole Goat Cheese and Tulip Tree Creamery, to name a few.

“We try to puff up local businesses,” says Sadler, noting that they carry more than 500 types of wine as well as craft beer selection centered around local breweries. In addition, they’ve expanded their accessory collection.

“I was sitting around one night with my parents drinking wine and shooting the breeze when this idea emerged to open a neighborhood food and wine market,” says Jon Sadler. “The next morning, we looked at each other and asked, ‘Wait. Were we serious “We have Moscow mule mugs, which are really popular,” Sadler or was that the alcohol talking?’” says. “So are picnic stix, which folks use to keep their glassware secure when they go to Symphony on the Prairie and other They took the leap and have been hopping ever since. outdoor venues.”

“When we started seven years ago, we sold a little bit of everything, but we’ve slowly expanded while consolidating, meaning that now we offer items our customers tell us they want,” Sadler says.

One of their most popular sellers are the gourmet gift baskets, which attract both individual and corporate customers.

16 / FISHERS MAGAZINE / SEPTEMBER 2017 / atFishers.com

“We work with realtors, home builders and lending companies who ask us to assemble unique food or wine baskets for clients at closings,” Sadler says. “We also get, for instance, chiropractors who run VIP specials and want us to create baskets to distribute to their top customers.”

They deliver within a 10-mile radius and also offer discounts for corporate accounts who do repeated business throughout the year.

The company sells a lot of “open and consume” baskets with snack items, such as chocolates, trail mix, beef jerky and chips & salsa, as well as breakfast baskets that include pancake mix, syrups and jellies. High-end wine baskets are also popular.

Prices vary widely, depending on the consumer’s needs and budget, though the average cost of a basket is $50-$100.

“It’s not unusual for a customer to call and say, ‘I want to send an Italian-themed basket. My budget is $100,’ or ‘I want to include two bottles of wine and keep it at $75,’” Sadler says. “We then build custom baskets based on their vision and finances.”

Fair Everly

ONLINE BOUTIQUE HAS STYLE FOR EVERY FASHIONISTA Writer / Suzanne Huntzinger Photographer / Jamie Sangar

There’s a new online style hotspot that’s catching the eye of fashionistas everywhere.

Going live on May 30 this year, Fair Everly Boutique is already enjoying steady sales.

With dozens of fabulous frocks, trendy tops, spunky slacks, shoes, accessories and more, you’ll find the perfect outfit to fit your style.

Online sales are hot these days, so it makes sense that owner Jodi Shannahan chose to open her boutique online.

Although there are some who object to online clothes shopping saying they prefer to try the clothes on in person, Fair Everly capitalizes on an aspect of the shopping experience that all customers want more of.

“Our online community helps us connect with our customers and give them highly personalized customer service,” Shannahan says. “Most brick and mortar stores don’t offer that.”

Like most boutique shops, Fair Everly offers great pieces priced at a great value. Most importantly, they sell unique items for customers who want to find something that no one else will be wearing.

“I want to work with people and help them find great things that make them feel good about themselves,” Shannahan says.

Although Shannahan opened Fair Everly just a few months ago, boutiques and fashion have always been a part of her world. She grew up in Gas City, about 18 / FISHERS MAGAZINE / SEPTEMBER 2017 / atFishers.com

an hour north of Indianapolis, where her mother owned and operated a boutique.

She remembers working in the shop with her mom and traveling with her to the apparel trade show in Atlanta. As an adult, everything Shannahan has done has put her on a path leading straight to opening her own boutique. She earned a degree in apparel merchandising, she worked in a law firm, worked in cosmetics at Nordstrom, and she started a career in real estate sales.

At each juncture, Shannahan grew her already tremendous business acumen and fed her adventurous side.

As time went on, her dream to open her own boutique never faded. She put a business plan together, applied for loans, and pursuing everything necessary twice to make her dream of opening a boutique

a reality. But each time, something got in the way, putting a halt on her plans.

Finally, Shannahan had enough capital to get started.

“I didn’t get discouraged,” she says.

“When it didn’t work out at first, I knew it was God’s plan for me to wait, to observe and learn more before I’m ready.”

Shannahan worked hard to be ready, planning her website, creating a budget, selecting inventory, creating ads and doing plenty of promotion on social media.

“But mostly I prayed a lot,” she adds. As Shannahan’s dream started becoming a reality, she kept dreaming bigger.

In addition to having aspirations of becoming a national brand one day, she needed a warehouse for the inventory. For now, Shannahan has started off simple.

She and her husband cleared a big space in their basement for the warehouse.

Now that it’s go time, Shannahan says she’s taking it one day at a time.

“I’m led by faith, and I’m leading by example,” she says. “I love fashion and I feed off it. I want people to feel safe to share with me and feel safe in what they wear.”

Shannahan encourages her customers to have fun when building their wardrobe.

“Buy staples and accessories,” she says.

“Buy that cute top and take your outfit to the next level. No matter whether you’re traditional and classic or modern and trendy, you can be brave by adding one piece to your outfit to create something new for any occasion. Many people have shared with me that they aren’t into fashion because of their body style. But I can help find the outfit that works for you. Everybody’s different, and we should celebrate that. How boring would it be if we all looked alike? There’s a fashionista in all of us.”

WHAT HAPPENED TO GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP? FORMER HIGH SCHOOL, COLLEGE AND PRO REFS SAY IT’S GETTING WORSE Writer / Matt Roberts Photographer / Brian Brosmer

In 2015, two high school football players in Texas attacked a referee during a game, with one of them knocking him to the ground and the other spearing him in the back with his helmet. A coach later admitted ordering the attack due to “bad calls”.

Last year in Beech Grove, a youth football coach was arrested for assaulting a referee during a game between two teams of second-graders. For as long as there have been competitive sports, fans, coaches and players have criticized officials. But there is

a growing sense that anger at bad — or even just adverse — calls has slipped the leash and mutated into abuse and, in some cases, violence.

Chris Purvis is a seasoned lacrosse official who sits on the board of the Indiana Lacrosse Officials Association.

“Sportsmanship has absolutely gotten worse,” he says. “What’s really alarming to me is the behavior of young players. They’re disrespectful not only to officials, but to their opponents. Kids will make an obvious foul, and they’re throwing up their hands, like ‘Are you kidding me?’ Meanwhile, the TownePost.com / SEPTEMBER 2017 / INDY METRO

coach isn’t reinforcing what they did wrong.

He’s saying the official was wrong, so that just perpetuates the behavior.”

Purvis says that summer travel league tournaments are even worse.

“I worked a summer game this year where parents were literally fighting in the stands, and the police were called,” Purvis says. “For a contest between eight-year-olds. We’ve lost a lot of officials who just say, ‘I don’t need this.’"

While participation in youth sports is exploding, the pool of qualified officials is

decreasing. The National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) estimates that for every 10 new officials, only two will sign up for a third season. A dwindling roster of officials means a constant struggle to staff games.

Mark Baltz has spent the past 50 years officiating at every level, from high school and college basketball and football to 25 years as an NFL head linesman.

“I mean, would you (become a referee)?” Baltz says. “Put in all this time, buy the equipment, do the study, and go to (officials’) meetings, for 50 bucks a game?

And the problem only gets worse at more intense competition for higher stakes. Baltz recalls a recent sectional game he watched.

“Youth leagues and their legal people are insisting that the officials be licensed,” Baltz adds. “So, it’s supply and demand. They’re getting young kids licensed, but that doesn’t mean they know what they’re doing. They have no experience, but they’re out there doing youth league games with two officials watching two teams of 11.

It’s impossible.”

three or four years of tournament experience. If you haven’t worked that type of game, you’re going to be overwhelmed.”

In April of this year, NFHS embarked on a national recruitment campaign focused on encouraging high school athletes to stay involved in sports by getting their officiating license.

But most areas of the country have continued to see a reduction in the number of people willing to put on a striped shirt.

More than 20 states have found it necessary to enact criminal penalties against fans who attack referees. In Kentucky, it's now a Class D felony to “intentionally cause or attempt to cause physical injury to a sports official.” Similar legislation was proposed in Indiana but has yet to be passed.

Some leagues have addressed the sportsmanship deficit by increasing the severity of penalties for bad behavior. Indianapolis Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) has imposed a policy of disqualification for players or coaches on the first technical foul for high school games.

Maybe the problem is rooted in the overall coarsening of public behavior or the general lack of tolerance in society.

“I think it’s the pressure,” Purvis says.

“Pressure on players and pressure on parents. Everybody wants their kid to be a Division I star.”

“How did you spot the trap? Thompson asked.

In 1971, Carmel resident James Thompson was in Vietnam where he was assigned as an advisor to the field maintenance unit of the Vietnamese Air Force division. The Chinook helicopter rotor blades were made of a composite sandwich material that was a fiberglass over a honeycomb and it had the bad habit of unbonding. Though they had a test set to check for issues, it often went on the fritz. One day, Thompson was tasked with finding a helicopter pilot to fly the test set from Bien Hoa Air Base to the Army’s depot ship at Vung Tau for repairs.

“It’s an old VC trick in which they set up butterflies,” the pilot explained, using his hands to imitate the broad wings of a butterfly.

“They’re the size of two ping-pong paddles and painted to blend in with the grass. When the rotor downwash hits them, they collapse like this.” He moved his palms from a spread-out position to a praying pose. “That sets off Claymore mines all around the landing zone that detonate horizontally, making mincemeat out of a Huey and everyone inside it.”

“I located a seasoned army pilot on his third tour in Vietnam,” Thompson says. On their way back from Vung Tau, they got a radio call asking if they could pick up an American chaplain and drop him at a leper colony to distribute food and clothing. They agreed, so after dropping off cargo for the Vietnam Air Force, they picked up the chaplain and two security guards.

“I’d brought along my camera and was snapping photos of the lush, green countryside,” recalls Thompson, who grew suspicious as they approached the leper colony and didn’t see a soul in sight. “It seemed odd since usually a mob of people is waiting to swarm the chopper to receive the precious cargo.”

“You clearly saved our bacon today,” said Thompson, who had a wife and two young daughters back home.

It seems it was radio communication that gave the Viet Cong the chance to set the trap.

“The VC listened on every frequency, so when they heard that we were going to drop off the test set and pick up the chaplain and his supplies, that gave them plenty of time to set up the mines,” says Thompson, who was in Vietnam for just one year. During that year, he got shot at a handful of times, always when he was in a chopper.

“They were lousy shots. They always hit the tail rotor,” Thompson says. “The near-landing at the leper colony was the only time I ever was in real peril over there.”

As they were letting down, suddenly the pilot pulled up on the collective control so violently that it threw the chaplain and his guards to the floor. Thompson reflexively reached to grab one of the Despite the peril, Thompson says he enjoyed his tour in Vietnam. guard’s M-16 rifles from flying out the open side door.

“I grew to really like the Vietnamese,” Thompson says. “They’re “What was that about?” Thompson called to the pilot on his headset. clever, wonderful, industrious people.”

“The landing zone was mined,” the pilot responded.

The close brush with death left Thompson shaky, though even as they returned to Bien Hoa he thought, “Hey, this is a war zone. This kind of thing is expected.”

Thompson, who was raised in Indianapolis, attended Arsenal Tech High School, and received a degree in aeronautical engineering from Purdue, served 23 years in the Air Force before retiring as a lieutenant colonel in 1980.

“I’m a very lucky guy to be here,” Thompson says. “Had I used Nevertheless, back at the base, Thompson was eager to learn details. another pilot that day, I would probably not have survived.”

Invigorate your lawn in the fall with Total Lawn Care. TLC has great season grasses in central Indiana, and the plant naturally develops its root system and stores energy in the fall and early winter. Turf care in the fall sets up the lawn for the next season.

Proper fall fertility helps the turf plant recover from the summer stress and store energy in its root system over winter. This allows for a healthier, greener lawn in the spring. We have heavy clay soils throughout central Indiana. Fall is a great time to aerate, over seed or add an organic boost. The aeration allows for soil movement to relieve compaction in your clay soils and to increase macropores in the soil.

Fall is also the best time to do any seeding in your lawn and to develop your turf for the coming year. An organic boost can help with building the soil by developing organic matter in the soil. Increased organic matter helps provide the nutrients required by the turf and helps build sustainability of the lawn. A quality weed control in the fall helps reduce the weed population in the spring.

NEW APP-BASED DELIVERY SERVICE GAINING MOMENTUM IN INDIANAPOLIS & BEYOND Writer / Christy Heitger-Ewing

A new app-based, peer-to-peer delivery service is gaining momentum in Indianapolis. Roadie, a less expensive, more convenient way to ship items of all shapes and sizes, is also a fabulous way for folks looking to make a few extra bucks as it’s designed for those who are already headed in a specific direction to pick up and deliver items along their route.

“It’s similar to Uber and Lyft, but it moves things rather than people,” says Kelly Bailey, who has worked as a Roadie drive for about a year. “Let’s say you’re taking a road trip to the Ozarks. Just open up your Roadie app, plug in your destination, and find out if there are any gigs available along the way.”

Marc Gorling, founder and CEO of Roadie, got the idea for his app-based shipping company when he was working on a home renovation project and wanted to find an economical and efficient way to ship boxes of tile to his house from a few hours away.

“What if someone was already headed in this direction?” he thought. “If they were coming this way anyway and were willing to transport those tiles for a fee, we would both stand to gain.”

A customer who has an item to send simply posts a gig online or on their phone. Then Roadie matches them with a driver who is already going that direction. Senders not only save money on shipping but on not having to box or package their items.

Plus, they enjoy personalized pick-up and delivery service.

TownePost.com / SEPTEMBER 2017 / INDY METRO

Bailey notes that Roadie is a great way to earn extra cash when you’re going on vacation. It’s also ideal for college students who need extra bucks for books or coffee or retirees who may appreciate making a little extra dough during their post-career travels.

“It’s not a full-time job, by any means, but it’s a convenient way to make some extra cash,” says Bailey, noting that thanks to money earned from Roadie, her daughter will graduate from Purdue this year debt-free. “I’m hyped about the service — not just for the company but also for the community. There are many opportunities for residents in Indianapolis to make money driving for Roadie.”

For those interested in becoming a driver, all it takes is to sign up, create gig alerts and make offers on gigs you can take. Convenient and easy, drivers set their own schedule and earn rewards such as roadside assistance and free food from Waffle House.

Cost for shipping items is calculated based on weight of the item and distance traveled. Most local gigs will cost between $8 and $50, while long-distance gigs with oversized items may cost up to $650. Shipping pets is more but Roadie uses people who are certified to deliver animals cross-country and who make frequent stops along the way to feed, exercise and provide extra TLC to their precious cargo.

“Anything that’s hard to ship you can move with Roadie — furniture, televisions, bikes, golf clubs,” Bailey says. “We do everything but haul vehicles.”

MEET "CLONY" DUNGY MIKE BOSTIC BEARS A STRIKING RESEMBLANCE TO COLTS HALL OF FAME COACH

INDY METRO / SEPTEMBER 2017 / TownePost.com

Mike Bostic shows off his "Colts Cave" with his sons Emerson and Michael.

Writer / Jon Shoulders Photographer / Brian Brosmer

The similarities between Mike Bostic and former Indianapolis Colts head coach Tony Dungy are far from strictly physical.

It is the striking physical likeness that initially prompted Bostic to don the guise of what he calls Clony Dungy for Colts home games and special events like the Pro Football Ultimate Fan Association’s (PFUFA) annual four-day summer event in Canton, Ohio. But the coaching philosophies and professionalism Dungy brought to bear as a coach provided the true inspiration for Bostic — not only in assuming the appearance of the beloved football figure, who served as Colts coach from 2002 through 2008, but also in his own 15-year career as a sports coach.

says Bostic, who began his coaching career alongside his former tennis coach at Lawrence North High School before coaching tennis at Carmel High School from 2000 to 2015. “He put the players first, and he put his family first. He based his coaching on principles that I could really relate to. It’s kind of a tribute to him and all he did for Indianapolis.”

he cut up a sweater to resemble a sweater vest and transformed a pair of his wife’s earmuffs into a makeshift headset.

“It was hysterical seeing people’s reactions,” Bostic recalls. “A few years later my wife surprised me with Colts season tickets.

When we were leaving the first preseason game, some lady that passed me on the street said, ‘Hey, you look like Dungy!’

I wasn’t even dressed like him. I’ve been going to every game since, for the last four seasons, dressed like coach Dungy, and it’s just a blast. I get a lot of double takes.”

Something about Dungy’s successful coaching approach, which led to a Super Bowl championship in 2007, must have rubbed off on Bostic. The northeast Indianapolis native and Ball State University grad won eight state championships as head During Bostic’s first trip to Canton for the annual PFUFA event, Dungy happened to coach during his 15 years coaching tennis be speaking at a local church nearby. Bostic for the Carmel Greyhounds. ended up attending the speaking event, and was afterwards finally able to shake In 2009, Bostic accompanied his sons the hand of the man he admires – and Emerson, 14, and Michael, 12, to the resembles – so much.

Indianapolis Zoo’s annual Halloween “It’s more than just a costume for me, ZooBoo event and, on a whim, decided to because when I was coaching I really tried to throw together an impromptu Tony Dungy “Last year I got to meet him again at the emulate how he approached his profession,” costume. To approximate the Dungy look, Steelers game on Thanksgiving,” Bostic says.

TownePost.com / SEPTEMBER 2017 / INDY METRO

“He’s been really great. He follows me on social media, and he’s a good sport about it.

I told him that it’s fun for me, but it’s also in honor of a great coach and a great person.”

This year marks Bostic’s twentieth as a physical education teacher at Forest Dale Elementary School, and in 2015 he decided to retire from coaching tennis to free up time with his family. The Clony Dungy persona isn’t his only family-oriented hobby these days. When his basement flooded last year, Bostic decided to renovate the space into what he calls a Colts Cave, including a painstakingly detailed, smallscale replica of Lucas Oil Stadium. With no woodworking experience, the diehard Colts fan studied countless photos of the stadium, bought the necessary materials and got busy.

“There’s still stuff I want to add to it, like figures of the entire Super Bowl roster from the ‘06-‘07 championship team,” he says. “That’ll be a good winter project to go down there and work on that. It’s a nice stress relief.”

That’s only one of several ongoing projects that keep Bostic occupied these days. A few years back, he fashioned a Lego figurine to resemble Dungy for he and his kids to play with. They began taking staged photos of what they affectionately called Lego Clony Dungy, and a request from a colleague prompted a huge idea for the tiny figurine.

“A coworker of mine at school said she was going to Texas to see her son graduate from the Air Force, and asked to take the

Lego Dungy and take pictures around San Antonio,” Bostic says. “From there, I created a Facebook page and got it into my head that I was going to send the figure with family and friends all over the world and set the goal of sending a figurine to every continent.”

Bostic then crafted a few more Lego Dungys to send to friends and strangers alike, and since then the figurines have had their pictures taken all over the world including the White House, Italy, Ireland, Jerusalem and even the South Pole.

A different kind of creative breakthrough came last Thanksgiving when Bostic was attending the Steelers vs. Colts game in Indianapolis. He noticed scores of fans spinning souvenir towels around the stadium and realized he could create a more unique product fans could spin to create excitement during games. The result is Rally Rings, which Bostic says is a combination of a foam finger, a rally towel

and a fidget spinner.

“We decided to patent the spin mechanism and create a product that you can take to high schools, colleges and pro sports,” he says. “It’s gotten to the point now where we can sell them to any high school and they can print the school logo on it and put a corporate sponsor on the back, and do it as a giveaway at a game. So, we’re trying to break into that promotional market now.”

Bostic says his seemingly endless energy for all his various hobbies comes from a desire to stay connected with his local community and create unique family memories at the same time.

“I like to have goals and be creative,” Bostic says. “My boys have fun with all these projects and things as well. It’s created a lot of cool memories for them. I’m sure they’ll look back and say, ‘Man, my dad was crazy, but it was really a lot of fun.’”

FROM CAR WASHES TO FUZIC MEDIA PRIME CAR WASH CEO LAUNCHES MARKETING COMPANY Investing all they had into the business, their success was steady. With locations in Noblesville, Carmel, Avon and The Prime Car Wash’s concept of a high-end Greenwood and, later this summer, country club feel, was Brent Oakley’s wife, Jacksonville Florida. Prime Car Wash is Carlie’s idea. doing well.

Writer / Kara Kavensky Photographer / Brian Brosmer

“She felt carwashes didn’t need to be so automotive,” Brent says. “They should be built for women and professionals where people could multi task and feel like they were at a cafe. She always had people in her car, and the last thing she wanted to do was to vacuum out her car in the middle of winter.”

Brent and his partners, Bobby Hatfield and Chris Galloway always pushed for new ways of marketing their brand and their product. Brent turned to marketing to customers inside the business while they waited for their clean car to be completed. He wanted a way to let customers know about Prime as a company So Brent, along with his two partners, built a as well as different product offerings. A carwash designed for business professionals new company called Fuzic was with women in mind. born. Brent wanted to Fuse message and

music together through software.

Fuzic is a SaaS (software as a service) model connecting voice talent with customer ad requests. From an app, a company can request their ad message, and within 30 minutes, the message is looped into streaming music.

“When a manager thinks of what they want to say for the day, he or she can type in the message and the request is sent out to voice talent across the country,” Brent says. “The message is recorded, filtered, cleaned and pushed out. The voice talent can record the message on their phone via the app and submit. Clients pay $129 per month for unlimited music announcements.”

Voice talent includes well-known radio personalities and TV voices that millions of people are familiar with. This professional talent is recruited from across the country, and the type of voice desired is selected by the client. In addition to recording messages and ads, companies can advertise via the same method, which keeps businesses clutter free from solicitations and fliers.

“Fuzic gives businesses the ability to control their environment,” Brent says.

“Today, there is so much business owners can’t control with social media, we can control what is inside our four walls. We do it with announcements, and it makes you sound more professional than you are, bigger than you are.”

Founder Brent Oakley (right) and Executive Chairman Scott McCorkle (left) are the brains behind Fuzic Media.

Through a friend in Florida who owns a SkyZone franchise, Tiffany McCorkle was told about Fuzic. She was asked if she knew about this new company located in Fishers. She had not and contacted Brent. After meeting with Brent, she told him, “My husband is going to be really be excited about this.” Scott McCorkle, former Salesforce Cloud CEO, called Brent two days later.

“What are your plans?” That was one of the first questions Scott asked after listening to Brent’s pitch of Fuzic. “You already have 50 clients.”

Coming from the carwash business is a totally different world. Brent didn’t know what he would do to grow Fuzic other than through self-funded, slow growth. “What would you do?” Brent asked Scott.

“I would go turbo if you’d let me!”

Scott said.

McCorkle is now Executive Chairman and has brought on a team for rapid growth.

Fuzic is on track to employ 300 by 2019.

At print, Fuzic had 20 employees and more than 130 customers. Their offices recently moved to the Nickel Plate District.

WELL ADJUSTED FISHERS DOCTOR SERVES AS INDY ELEVEN TEAM CHIROPRACTOR Writer / Jon Shoulders Photographer / Brian Brosmer

For Nathan Ziegler, a career in chiropractics and sports rehab was, in many ways, in the cards from an early age.

Ziegler, an Arkansas native, grew up observing the fulfillment his father and two uncles received as chiropractors, and as an avid sports fan, he contemplated a similar professional path before graduating from high school.

“I’ve always been interested in health and wellness,” Ziegler says. “My dad was the team chiropractor for my high school, and he would adjust the players on the sidelines and before games. “ After finishing his undergraduate studies at Union University in Jackson, Tennessee,

Ziegler obtained his Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) degree and a master’s degree in sports science and rehabilitation from Logan University in Chesterfield, Missouri, where he met Caitlin Wolf, who grew up in Carmel and was also pursuing her D.C. and sports rehab degrees. Prior to completing their coursework in April of 2016, Wolf broached the idea of eventually opening a practice in her native Hamilton County.

Less than four months after graduating, Wolf and Ziegler had opened the doors to Alliance Chiropractic in Fishers.

“Dr. Wolf knew that Fishers is a growing area and would be a good place to practice,” Ziegler says, adding that he and Wolf are engaged and spend their downtime hiking, running local trails and exploring the Fishers restaurant scene. “We do a lot of rehab in the office — a lot of muscle therapy and adjustments. Dr. Wolf works a lot with atFishers.com / SEPTEMBER 2017 / FISHERS MAGAZINE / 41

children and the older population. I’ll work with athletes and anybody in general, in any phase of their health.”

Ziegler’s childhood involvement in sports, including soccer, and his observations of his father on the sidelines of his high school sports teams in a chiropractic capacity, both foreshadowed what is currently a major component of Ziegler’s own professional practice. Since March, he has served as a team chiropractor for the Indy Eleven men’s professional soccer team and treats players before, during and after each home game on Saturday evenings.

“I had always been interested in athletes and sports, and once I got my masters and got my D.C., wherever I moved to I wanted to try to get involved with a local team, either high school, college or pro,” Ziegler says.

“After opening, I started looking

around at some of the teams here. I emailed the Indy Eleven team manager and got in communication with their head athletic trainer, and it went from there.”

Every Tuesday Ziegler arrives for Indy Eleven practices alongside the team’s massage therapist, physical therapists, athletic trainers and medical doctors and applies spinal adjustments and muscle therapy to any players in need.

“Dr. Ziegler has really been invaluable for us in stretching and doing adjustments for the players and educating them on posture and movement,” says Brian Gerlach, who has served as head athletic trainer for Indy Eleven since the team’s North American Soccer League debut in 2014. “It’s a little bit more of a holistic approach.

If a player is complaining of a neck problem, he might not treat the neck and will treat something else that ties into that problem.”

Ziegler says pro soccer players tend to have predominantly lower extremity issues, and he treats each player according to their specific ailment.

“I bring all my equipment and notes to the locker room and set up, and we start working with the athletes and ask them what their complaints are that day,” he says. “I’ll be on the sidelines for games keeping an eye on them, and I’m there for halftime and post-game adjustments.”

Ziegler adds that getting to know the players on the Indy Eleven roster has been the most enjoyable part of his involvement with the team so far.

“They’re wonderful individuals, as well as the trainers and medical staff,” he says. “Being pros, they have a huge amount of drive and want to be the best, and you can see that in the practices and when you’re communicating one on one.

They want to be in the best shape they can be, so if I can offer chiropractic and provide that so they can better themselves, they’re very grateful.”

Todd and Mary Troup, owners of Missing Skills University

MISSING SKILLS UNIVERSITY PREPARING YOUNG LEADERS FOR THEIR FUTURE Your children graduate from school and are ready to join the workforce, or are they?

Missing Skills University has a passion for preparing young people for “what’s next” in life.

The Fishers-based Missing Skills U was started by Todd and Mary Troup with the idea of preparing tomorrow’s leaders with real-life tips and experience of what the workforce will be like.

“Todd and I have made our own career blunders and had to learn the hard way to navigate the business waters to gain a certain

level of job success and satisfaction,” Mary says. “This pushed us to consider what was missing from our education that should have been basic to preparing for the job world. I knew that Todd had been writing curriculum for the past 5 years based on his observations of people making career mistakes and poor life choices. He turned this information into how to avoid these business landmines, how to manage your life after college and how to bounce back from setbacks. Our goal is to prepare you for what’s next instead of waiting until it’s too late.” atFishers.com / SEPTEMBER 2017 / FISHERS MAGAZINE / 45

On average, most students spend 17 years in school — from kindergarten to college. So, Todd says, it is critical how you spend those 17 years of school. The decisions you make and the lessons you receive are critical.

Knowing more about what to expect in your future helps drive your learning, and those choices can make or break the next 40 years of your life.

“The problem I see is that the school curriculum barely prepares you for the real skills needed to succeed,” Todd says. “Don’t get me wrong, school is critical to learning, but it doesn’t go far enough. Even your A+

students lack the basic skills needed for life and business, simply because we wait to teach them until they’re on the job.”

Missing Skills University’s goal is to prepare tomorrow’s leaders by incorporating a curriculum that includes hands-on training and instruction.

At Missing Skills U, students receive workplace instructions using real life, role-play scenarios that will coach them on the best ways to be prepared and be effective in the workforce. Missing Skills U’s curriculum also includes courses on time management, finances, life choices and social media, among others.

Missing Skills U also partners to offer their curriculum to institutions such as schools, churches, businesses, prisons, foster care, etc. Todd says, even the current workforce needs these skills, because they were never offered and are still not offered.

“Most kids have no idea what it takes to overcome life’s challenges because we don’t challenge them,” Todd adds. “Many of them think a challenge is when the wifi is out and they can’t connect. We want to challenge them more often with scenarios they will face, to be better prepared in both Life and Business. We talk about the value of time. All the training in the “When you came out of school, how much world doesn’t replace time, which equals did you really not know that you wish you experience. That’s one more reason why we had known earlier?” Todd says. “Our goal teach business and life skills lessons at an is to prepare students to learn these skills early age, instead of waiting to learn these earlier in life, which translates into a clearer skills once you’re out of the house and on vision of what they can expect and avoid the job. Why wait until after graduation? costly career mistakes.”

Start now, and get ahead of the curve.”

At the end of the day, Missing Skills University hopes to shape tomorrow’s leaders.

“The world needs leaders,” Mary says. “The tail end of the Baby Boomers are leaving the workforce. This is the largest exit of management talent ever, opening up the most job advancement opportunities ever. Yet all studies show that most, not all, but most graduates are less prepared to advance in their careers than ever before. We aim to close that gap. The schools, STEM courses, and being on their smart devices do not prepare a student for what it really takes to be ready.”

Missing Skills U will offer a $75 special for their “Foundations for High School Students” class. The 4-week class meets Monday weekly starting Oct 2 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Indy’s North Side.

affordable experience that gives clients a lovely style lasting three to five days.

“Guests love the Blowout Bar to prepare for a first date, a special event, or just to get pampered,” Rose says. “We also accommodate groups if you want to gather friends for a Blowout party.”

Another draw are the spa’s two cuttingedge, non-invasive, FDA-approved machines. Viora REACTION, used for skin tightening, circumferential reduction, and cellulite treatment, can be done anywhere on the body, including the face and jawline.

“Skin tightening on the face is wild,” Rose says. “Clients notice an instant lift after the first session — so much so that I do one side of the face first, then hand them the mirror so they can see how lifted their eyes are as well as the nasal folds around the side of their mouth and nose.”

Another plus to these treatments is that they’re not painful.

“Sometimes people think pain is beauty, but that’s not the case with Viora REACTION,” Rose says. “You feel a bit of warmth, like a deep tissue massage.”

In addition, the salon has Torc Body, a machine that bio-electrically stimulates muscles to tone and contour the thighs, butt, stomach, legs and arms.

“It can be used to jumpstart a workout routine or to take your workout to the next level,” says Rose, noting that it’s great for losing inches around the waist and abdomen. “Most clients lose anywhere from one to three inches in their first session.”

As the staff continues to search the marketplace for the newest technology and the finest hair and skin care regimens, Rose is committed to providing their clients with the highest degree of customer service.

“I couldn’t be more excited about serving this community,” she says.

CLEAROBJECT: FORWARD THINKING FISHERS-BASED IOT COMPANY HAS VISION FOR THE FUTURE

Writer / Kara Kavensky Photographer / Brian Brosmer

“Forward thinking” only begins to describe ClearObject and clearly defines its leadership.

In a world of smart devices, connectivity between these devices is the next logical step. The “Internet of Things” is defined as “the interconnection via the Internet of computing devices embedded in everyday objects, enabling them to send and receive data.” We may not be fully aware that we are surrounded by this in our daily lives. This may apply to your alarm system for a home or car, a remote that controls lighting or an autonomously driven vehicle. It’s projected that by the year 2020, 25 billion objects will be connected, including 90 percent of cars*.

ClearObject moved their headquarters to Fishers due to the shared vision by Mayor Scott Fadness.

“Mayor Fadness provides us with a virtual playground here,” shares ClearObject CEO and visionary John McDonald. “We relocated here because Fishers is driven to grow companies in the IoT space.”

This year, the City of Fishers announced an IoT Lab, the first of its kind in this state. By showing that the city is willing to take risks in the IoT space, it allows ClearObject to explore possibilities. Fishers is focused upon allocating resources to invite other people into the area to work and grow.

ClearObject, originally named CloudOne, began as a cloud service company in 2008.

52 / FISHERS MAGAZINE / SEPTEMBER 2017 / atFishers.com

That same year, John was working for IBM. A client, the fast food chain McDonald’s, wished to move their software development to a “cloud” via a third-party company.

There was a problem with this proposal, as it violated IBM’s operating agreement.

Working through this challenge with a vision of where operating systems were progressively headed, John facilitated the first IBM cloud contract to the cloud for McDonald’s.

The third-party company ran the cloud, which figured out a way to isolate and create a type of cloud, or “island” architecture, enabling a cloud of one, thus the company’s original name, CloudOne. John joined CloudOne as their CEO. The leap to IoT was a natural next step.

CloudOne’s first wave of significant growth towards the IoT space occurred during 2012 to mid-2014 with client Cummins Engine.

Cummins had built into their engines a system that sends data to a private cloud, connected via expensive connective diagnostics, including live telemetry.

“Any Cummins engine, while out on the open road, can send a message to the fleet operator at any time,” McDonald says. “Cummins tracks 13,000 diagnostic codes every day, which is the largest IoT solution on the planet.”

Purpose driven in solving the data collection issue with Cummins, the team at CloudOne had pioneered something that had yet to be labeled as IoT. Through this successful project, CloudOne realized that they needed to rebrand officially as an IoT company, thus pivoting to ClearObject, with the tag line, “Where IoT is made.”

So, what is next for ClearObject? They are still hosting legacy applications and providing cloud services, only now they do it with an eye on IoT solutions. Given their track record with progressive solutions, they are the ones creating the future, and Fishers is providing the ideal playground.
