SPARTA’S JUNIOR MENTOR PROGRAM IF YOU BUILD IT, THEY WILL LEAD!

Writer / Whitney Mucha

SPARTA (Speed, Power, Agility, Reaction, Training Academy) is an elite training facility in Fishers best known for services that include sport-specific coaching, performance training, fitness programs, and sports counseling. Local and regional athletes, sports teams, families, and individual members are improving their performance and fitness levels at SPARTA. In addition to the sports and performance aspects of SPARTA, owner and boxing coach Luke Dunnuck had a vision to create a leadership program for junior high and high school students. The goal is to empower youth leaders by giving them the tools and confidence for personal and organizational purposes. These youth will positively influence their friends, families, and communities. It’s peer pressure in the most positive format: great leaders creating more great leaders. That vision became a reality this summer when the pilot group began their first-level training. Created in partnership with Will Drumright, sports psychology coach, the SPARTA Junior Mentor Program was born. The program is designed to be a journey through three levels of certification

beginning with the I5/C5 level. This first level of training includes 10 sessions of personal and organizational leadership development (I5: Identity, intentional, influence, interpersonal, inclusive; C5: Character, competency, capacity, chemistry, culture). After participants are certified in this first level of training, they will move to the second level where they inspire other students to join the program and develop their leadership skills. This second level ensures that training gets put into action and participants are able to mentor new participants. Level 3 certification will complete training for participants to achieve Senior Mentor status. Dunnuck shared, “You can count the seeds in an apple, but you can’t count the apples in a seed! Senior Mentors will significantly impact the world. These great leaders will build other leaders, not followers.” The pilot participants are already praising the impact of the SPARTA Junior Mentor Program on all aspects of their lives. “This program builds leaders. It made me think about who I am at my core, which I had to figure out in order to become a great leader,” said Patrick Lehmann, Class of 2015 Culver Military Academy. The program is also gaining praises from successful adult leaders. Senator Jim

Merritt, Majority Caucus Chairman, said, “SPARTA’s Junior Mentor Program is putting young people on a path to leadership. These kids are finding their purpose and being equipped to not only lead but to build new leaders. I couldn’t be more excited about the young leaders coming out of this program who will have a positive impact on their families, peer groups, sports teams, and the schools they attend.” Drumright encourages interested students to contact SPARTA for more information: “Take action in your life and don’t just be a bystander. The positive influences of this program will impact your school performance, sports performance, and performance in life.” Contact Luke Dunnuck or Will Drumright at SPARTA, located at 10080 E. 121st St. in Suite 157, or at 317-842-2933. Additional information may also be obtained at spartaindy.com or by email at info@ spartaindy.com. Whitney Mucha is a graduate of Indiana University, a native Hoosier and HR professional. She and her husband, Mike, enjoy living in Fishers with their two sons, Charlie and Max.

LIVING WITHOUT Writer / Tracie Nebrich

CT, is not known to go around buying small expos. According to Lindsey, “Last October, Living Without became interested in getting into the consumer show world.” Lindsey was instrumental in this process, which took a few months, as she helped pitch (PR-wise) the idea of having Living Without buy Indianapolis’ expo.

For Lindsey Bockhorst, living in Fishers is definitely a different way of life after growing up in Boston and living in New York City. In fact, it was in New York City where she met her husband, Matt, who brought her to the Midwest, and it was Matt’s job that connected her to Living Without’s Gluten-Free Food Allergy Fest.

Not only did they buy Indianapolis’ show, they expanded to include other shows across the country. They just had a show in San Diego in May, and they will be having a show in Portland, Oregon in September. In 2015, they have seven shows planned, which will keep Lindsey busy, as she is continuing to work under the Living Without umbrella as Public Relations, Marketing, and Volunteer Coordinator. Lindsey has been married to Matt for four years. Each year, the Fest has grown, and this year it will be held at the State They have a 2 ½-year-old and a newborn.

Matt’s job that brought every show, which Lindsey was responsible for adding. them to Indiana was with Boar’s Head, which happens to have gluten-free products, and is what led to Lindsey’s connection with Shelia Cafferty and Lindsey herself does not need to eat gluten-free; however, after working in the gluten-free community, she has learned a lot about Living Without’s Gluten-Free Food Allergy Fest. the implications of gluten and has taken a different approach to how Shelia Cafferty, who is gluten intolerant and has a nursing background, she and her family eat.

NEW LOCATION SAME GREAT STEAKS patrons. An inviting lounge area will tempt guests to sit and enjoy one of the famed restaurant’s trendy cocktails and the dining area rich in warmth and sophistication is breathtaking.

Operating partner & general manager Ryan Craig

After 20 years, local franchise Ruth’s Chris is closing its Northside Indianapolis doors. The notably gorgeous building that has been home to the impeccably prepared filet will no longer don the world-famous Ruth’s Chris logo—nor will the vintage building serve up the area’s best steak. But this isn’t the end for the Northside staple: Ruth’s Chris is reopening mid-August in the innovative Ironworks Keystone building just blocks from where the famed restaurant has made Indy salivate for fine dining for two decades. This is not your daddy’s steakhouse. The new Ruth’s Chris will be right at home in the Ironworks Keystone location. The fivestory building encompasses the new “live, shop, eat, do” lifestyle, offering modern apartments, shopping, dining and activities

in one stunning building at the corner of Keystone Avenue and 86th Street.

Craig admits there is a standard that Ruth’s Chris has created, but goes on to discuss these changes come with enough autonomy to create a local staple tailor-made for the Indianapolis area. “When you surround yourself with this much quality and experience,” he says of the highly trained veteran staff, “it’s going to be good.” The restaurant team holds a wealth of wisdom of the Ruth’s Chris way. The seasoned management leads each night into success alongside the waitstaff, kitchen and frontof-the-house staff. The level of training each employee, down to the hostesses, must master is a testament to the Ruth’s Chris standards. Yearly recertification for each employee helps enhance every guest’s dining experience.

In the new location, Craig is confident Ruth’s Chris will continue to deliver a high “It’s an honor to shut down such a historic place and open a groundbreaking location,” quality dining experience despite a high says operating partner and general manager saturation of other high-end restaurants in the Keystone area. “Ruth’s Chris has always Ryan Craig. “Change is inevitable and we found ways to lead the market, cater to the couldn’t ask for a better scenario.” The Carmel native insists the combination of the guest, and maintain our high expectations.” Ruth’s Chris reputation and high standards On-site meat cutting, a 3,000-square-foot will help take the Northside location to the patio and the ability to cater parties of 200 next level. “I feel like a kid in a candy store,” or more are just some of the new amenities offered later this summer. he gushes when discussing the elaborate design boards that have peppered the lobby One of the new elements coming to the on Keystone Avenue for months. revamped location is cocktail service.

WHAT THE LIFELINE LAW COULD MEAN TO YOUR FAMILY Writer / Kara Reibel

A teenager is at a party with friends, drinks in excess and passes out. His friends freak out, afraid they would get into trouble with their parents or the law, so they all flee the scene. As a result of not receiving any medical assistance, their friend dies. This scenario has played out over and over again—in fact, since 2004, 21 Indiana kids under the age of 21 have lost their lives to alcohol poisoning. It unfortunately takes horrible statistics such as these in order to save the lives of others. As a result of these young Hoosier lives lost, and many others across the country, states are passing laws to encourage the necessary call for help, allowing immunity to those who contact the authorities. Senator Jim Merritt is at the forefront of this movement with the laws he has written to protect the lives of teens who have made foolish choices—deadly choices, in many cases. “If these kids could reach out and call for help for someone who has made a mistake, lives would be saved, lessons learned…and hopefully eliminating the tragic outcome if help is not sought,” states Senator Merritt.

These preventable circumstances are only made worse when someone is afraid to seek help. The Lifeline Law removes these hurdles to encourage seeking help with the goal of avoiding tragedies. As taken from the website indianalifeline.org, the Lifeline Law provides immunity for the crimes of public intoxication, minor possession, minor consumption, and minor transport to persons who reveal themselves to law enforcement while seeking medical assistance for a person suffering from an alcohol-related health emergency. In order to receive immunity, individuals must demonstrate that they are acting in good faith by completing ALL of the following: (1) provide their full name and any other relevant information requested by law enforcement officers, (2) remain on the scene until law enforcement and emergency medical assistance arrives, and (3) cooperate with authorities on the scene. The law will not interfere with law enforcement procedures or limit the ability to prosecute for other criminal offenses such as providing to a minor, operating while intoxicated, or possession of a controlled substance. Effective July 1, 2014, the law was expanded to allow immunity for those individuals who are underage and under the influence while reporting certain crimes. Removing disincentives will hopefully save more lives by reporting incidents without prosecution concerns for those calling 911. “We want

kids to do the right thing and make a good decision,” says Senator Merritt. Michele Whelchel of Indiana Youth Services has been working with the senator to aid in the awareness campaign of this law under Make Good Decisions. “Indiana Youth Services Association is honored to help in the awareness of this life-saving law. Make Good Decisions strives to educate teens and young adults about the dangers of underage drinking and destructive behaviors, and the Indiana Lifeline Law,” states Whelchel. Senator Merritt consults with other legislators across the country, encouraging similar legislation modeled after Indiana’s statute. “Alcohol-related teen deaths happen everywhere: the goal is prevention. If we can’t prevent kids from underage drinking, we need to provide a literal lifeline when they get into trouble with drinking,” says Senator Merritt. Education is the key. Teens need to know about the law, and understand that if/when they are placed in a compromising position, there is help available. This help is designed to protect them and to save lives. It’s time to make the call and save a life. Learn more at indianalifeline.org and indysb.org.

Writer / Matt Quinn

There is always excitement that surrounds a new construction project…especially one that has the intent to serve the community. Driving south down Olio Road, just across the street from HSE High School, you now see the permanent home of Crosspoint. The 16,000 square feet of efficiently used space contains some traditional amenities that we have come to expect in a church, including a space for the tribe to gather (as the congregation is referred to at Crosspoint), as well as extensive children’s environments and some basic office space. There are some nontraditional areas here, as well. This is where you start to get a glimpse into the culture driving this organization. As you enter, you immediately encounter a generous lobby that includes a coffee bar and comfortable seating, and it will soon include a small indoor kids’ play area. The intent behind this design is what is uncommonly known as “Third Space.” Most people tend to spend the majority of their time either at home (first Space) or work (Second Space). Curt Walters, Lead Pastor at Crosspoint, told me, “We specifically intended to create a comfortable space inviting the community to conduct meetings, share a moment with a friend or just relax in solitude for a few minutes in the middle of a hectic day.” In addition to the nontraditional Third Space, there are conventional areas with unconventional applications. Sunday Service takes place in a space that can best be described as resembling an auditorium, which has been named The Venue. This space comes equipped with a stage, sophisticated lighting, concert quality sound system and a 465-person seating capacity. Curt explained to me that this space was designed after carefully considering a void in the community for handling productions and events of this type and capacity. In addition to Sunday Service, the community has the ability to take advantage of this facility by contacting the church and making arrangements to secure the space. 14 / FISHERS COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER / AUGUST 2014 / atFishers.com

We don’t have it all together And we’ll never expect you to either. Crosspoint is a place where it’s OK not to have it all together. Sure, there are holes in this. But we’re OK with that. atFishers.com / AUGUST 2014 / FISHERS COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER / 15

This organization has a different vibe, as evidenced by small things that are done a little differently, resulting in big impacts. The coffee (provided free during Sunday Service) is purchased from Land of a Thousand Hills Coffee where proceeds are helping restore dignity and combat poverty in Rwanda. The music is progressive and it isn’t uncommon to hear a song or two from U2, American Authors and other pop culture groups that are tied into the service message. The lights are intentionally kept low, which provides an atmosphere of shelter and protection. Another unique approach to re-enforcing the weekly message has been giving people who have found connection at Crossspoint an opportunity to share their story. This has been accomplished in a variety of forms, including inviting people to the stage to talk with Curt (pre-planned, of course) during service. People have also told their story while being filmed and had the resulting feature played during service. I have come to discover that sharing your story honestly is an impactful way to connect with the people around you. Also by sharing these stories, the people listening have found solace knowing that other people have experienced (and survived) something they may be going through. I have personally benefitted from the sharing of others’ stories during service. Crosspoint’s motto is: “We don’t have it all together And we’ll never

expect you to either. Crosspoint is a place where it’s OK not to have it all together. Sure, there are holes in this. But we’re OK with that.” Regular attendees come back week after week for the real-world topics that directly relate to life…building into people, getting more out of friendships, entrepreneurship, and supporting significant others, to name a few. What really sets a good organization apart are not the four walls in which it resides, but rather the people inside those same four walls. As the saying goes, “Here is the church, here is the steeple. Open up the doors and see all the people.” Whether it’s the lead pastor on the stage, the other members sitting right next to you, or the volunteers in the children’s environment, reinforcing values to your children… the strength and longevity of a church is in its culture. Regardless of the reason you decide to walk through the doors, my guess is that you will find a reason to stay. Although the building has gone up rather quickly, the foundation has been 389 weeks in the making. Matt Quinn moved to Fishers in 2008 along with his wife and two children.

HANS & DR. JOE CRASH THE INDIANA MICROBREWERS FESTIVAL may seem boring to some, but good representations of the style are not exactly abundant in Indiana.

Writer / Hans Maldonado with assistance from Dr. Joe Lauer Photographer / Eric Meyer

Once a year, Optimus Park in Broad Ripple plays host to a spectacular gathering of both craft beers and craft beer lovers in the form of the Indiana Microbrewers Festival. Located a few blocks north of Broad Ripple Ave. near the Indianapolis Art Center, this event becomes better organized every year. Lines for food, beer, and lavatories were as minimal as can be expected at a beer festival with approximately 5,000 people in attendance. Both Dr. Lauer and myself were in attendance, as usual. While Dr. Lauer found some new and interesting local/regional breweries, I must admit that it was difficult to ignore the tried and true breweries I know and love. It is also nice to know someone who can walk onto the back line and get beer more quickly.

ZWANZIGZ BREWERY (Columbus, IN) served a golden blueberry ale that was full of blueberry flavor and aroma and yet was incredibly dry and refreshing. HANS: I had that blueberry ale, and it was indeed delicious. For those who think fruit beer means sweet and cloying, read: It does not have to!

JOE: For those who make it beyond Indianapolis, there are some interesting new breweries worthy of attention. 18TH STREET BREWERY (Gary, IN) got their brewer from PIPEWORKS BREWING (Chicago, IL), which was named the best new brewery of 2013 according to ratebeer.com. Grapefruit Dead Imperial IPA and Hunter’s Double Milk Stout were both quite good. BARE HANDS BREWING (Granger, IN) was serving a Thai p.a.(sic) with hints of lime, ginger, and tea. It was quite interesting, and their other IPAs and Pale Ales were good, as well. EVIL CZECH BREWERY (Mishawaka, IN) poured a Bohemian (that means Czechstyle as opposed to German) Pilsner that took me right back to Prague. Pilsner

JOE: From DANNY BOY (soon to be open in The Village of West Clay in Carmel, IN), there was a solid black IPA. NEW DAY MEADERY (Fountain Square) does not make beer, but their mead ranges from sweet and fruity through bone dry. They even make a mead with hops! Imperial Raspberry Breakfast Magpie was an outstanding mead. SCARLET LANE BREWERY (McCordsville, IN) won a Brewer’s Cup award for their Vivian Red IPA, which showed as well as advertised over the weekend. Their coffee coconut stout was dry and balanced. HANS: My friend Leah from TAXMAN (Bargersville, IN) was pouring a Belgian Dubbel that was bone dry and incredibly attenuated (this means that there was no leftover sugar after yeast finishes its meal), as I have come to expect from this brewery. When people think that Belgian style beer is either too sweet or too syrupy, it is usually because of left over sugar, or underattenuation. The Dubbel had the typical

raisiney character of a Dubbel, but it was truly multidimensional in its flavor. UNION BREWING (Carmel, IN) focuses on cask-conditioned beer (meaning that the beer is carbonated in the keg) served from traditional hand-drawn beer engines (handpull). I’ve never visited England (home of cask-conditioning), but tasting the Monon Mild, with its grassy hops and soft mouth-feel, from Union is probably the next best thing. BARLEY ISLAND (Noblesville,IN) was serving a Saison (Belgian) that was crisp, dry, and refreshing, and yet was packing around 8% abv. Owner/Brewmaster Jeff Eaton is a more-than-competent brewer and a highly regarded judge. BRUGGE BRASSERIE (Indianapolis, IN) rarely fails to bring a little sourness, and their Diamond Kings of Heaven 2014 did not disappoint. While the exact recipe varies from year to year, Owner/Brewmaster Ted Miller had been using the same wine barrel for some time, and it is populated with the appropriate microfauna to produce the lactic acidity for which Diamond Kings is known. After witnessing inexperienced festivalgoers spitting out Diamond Kings at a previous festival, there is always a password required to sample Diamond Kings. When it comes to sour beer—If you know, then you know. On the American side of beer styles, Ted Miller also produces beer under the Outliers label. From Outliers, there was a strong Blonde Ale brewed with botanicals, Chinese rice

wine yeast, and then aged in a brandy barrel for about a month. This beer had stunning complexity and a very refreshing quality. JOE: That was also one of my favorite beers this year! HANS: TRITON BREWING (Indianapolis, IN) produced two incredibly unique and outstanding beers for the festival. French Toast Stout and French Toast Stout with Strawberries could not have been more aptly named and either one would be a showstopper on most occasions.

TIN MAN BREWING COMPANY (Evansville, IN) was serving a stout that had been aged in a Makerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mark barrel, and it was outstanding. This festival has gotten better with each passing year. The available space has more than doubled since 2007, while the attendance is still pretty much the same. It rarely feels crowded, and there are plenty of

food and washing facilities. Thankfully, we dodged the 90+ degree heat that is usually a factor at the Microbrewers Festival. Joe and I agree that it would not be possible to taste even half of what is typically available at this event, so please understand that this article is inherently incomplete. Just know that this is the premier beer event in Indianapolis each and every year.

I have said before that BIER BREWERY (Indianapolis, IN) makes the best and only pumpkin ale that anyone should drink. For the festival, they came with a barrel-aged Pumpkin Porter worthy of a best-in-show award. UPLAND BREWING (Indianapolis, IN) came with a bunch of their Lambics, of which I was only able to taste the 2014 Peach Lambic, poured by the brewer himself, Caleb Staton. His Lambics have gotten better and better over the years. BLACK ACRE BREWING (Indianapolis, IN) was pouring Bitter Life Coffee IPA. It was a blend of American IPA and locally roasted coffee, the result of which was slightly citrusy from the hops and roasty and slightly bitter from the coffee. TOW YARD BREWING (Indianapolis, IN) came in strong with their Horsepower Double Pale Ale, which is mildly citrusy but restrained enough in its bitterness that it could be a crossover beer for those hop-haters out there. It hides its 8+abv very well. Owner Mike Deweese also brought some gems from his cellar, which are certainly not available anywhere other than in his company, and rest assured, the right beer improves over time just like the finest of wines. I tasted 12-year-old World Wide Stout from Dogfish Head and 10-year-old Double Bastard from Stone. And remember that 2004 Beast from Avery that you thought would never mellow? Well, it did, and it was pretty good. Thank you, Mr. Deweese! TownePost.com / AUGUST 2014 / TOWNEPOST MEDIA NETWORK

“

I’ve had back pain off and on most of my life, not debilitating…that is, until about the age of 40. The pain eventually became unbearable. With a very demanding job and little time to focus on my health, I sought the help of a few doctors. This is when I discovered most doctors want to pat you on the hand and tell you to “learn to live with it!” Reality is…you have “lived with it” and if you weren’t at the breaking point you wouldn’t be in their office! I began to wonder if I could bear to live the rest of my life in this much pain…was it possible or even worth it? Dr. Hall is unaware, but he probably saved my life…I was very close to giving up. After the first appointment at Midwest Pain & Spine, I knew I was somewhere special. Suddenly there was hope and an actual plan! Dr. Hall went straight to work to find the source of the pain, which actually turned out to be a birth deformity. He discovered the source of pain that no other doctor ever took the time to. Then Dr. Hall worked with me to find the most effective treatment for my particular spine issues. Now my pain is managed. I still work too hard, but now I’m not miserable…plus I live a more active lifestyle, which is a much unexpected blessing. Thanks, Dr. Hall and wonderful staff, for giving me my life back! —Pamela Z., Fishers

B.A.S.E. FITNESS INC., PARKOUR 10080 E. 121ST ST., SUITE 100 FISHERS 317-773-3376 BASEFITNESS1.COM

PARKOUR COMES TO FISHERS!

Balance, Agility, Strength, and Endurance: these four words summarize the experience at B.A.S.E. Fitness Inc., Parkour. Popularized by American Ninja Warrior and popular action movies such as Casino Royale, The Bourne Legacy, and Brick Mansions, Parkour training is now available in Fishers!

The B.A.S.E. Parkour course is movable, with a miniature version of the equipment on the front table. The instructors create and re-design the layout, allowing for endless possibilities for the Parkour experience. Assistant coach Eve Eggleston adds, “Changing up the course expands and feeds the creative element for those who participate.”

Ayren Steuerwald combines his skills as a professional dancer, 4th degree black belt, and military veteran with a desire to push himself into realms of unknown physical boundaries. He became the first U.S. citizen living in the USA to become certified to instruct Parkour through the rigorous London-based A.D.A.P.T. program.

Working alongside local police and firefighters for safety and emergency evacuation drills, B.A.S.E. Parkour is developing a Parkour-based program for individuals with impaired vision, as well as injuries requiring prosthetic aid.

What is most impressive is that the facility is not the least bit intimidating. The age range of their clients is vast, as are their backgrounds and body types. “Anyone may participate in Parkour; on TV you see the extreme participants, not the average enthusiasts,” says instructor Michelle Hewitt. All participants must pass safety tests as they advance through the levels. The foundation of Parkour is safety and progressions. “We build upon the basics, and through the method and strategic physical principles of Parkour, participants realize their depths of inner strength,” says Tammy Steuerwald, Ayren’s wife and co-owner.

Fishers_August_2014.indd 25

Parkour is a great experience that allows you to dig deep within yourself and draw strength and support from fellow practitioners while under careful monitoring from the instructors. “The more you’re into it, the more avenues you find to challenge yourself in ways you hadn’t thought of before. We have clients who have lost a lot of weight through Parkour; we have kids who love the discipline and challenge, and entire families love doing this together. This is a sport that is open to all who wish to challenge themselves and still have fun,” says Tammy. There are many levels of classes for Parkour, including a special curriculum designed for 5- to 8-year-olds. In addition to Parkour, B.A.S.E. also offers fundamental MMA classes (mixed martial arts), hip hop dance classes, birthday parties and Capoeira (Brazilian form of martial arts).

Writer / Marcia Vigren

Is it possible to be a victim and not even know it? Yes it is… especially if you are relatively new at this “life” thing (i.e., teenager). Many teenagers just don’t have enough life experiences or confidence to realize that a bad gut feeling they have might really be something important that needs to be addressed. It is for this reason that the Red Flags Campaign was started, over a year ago, through Advocates for Children and Families (AFCF) in The Cherish Center in Noblesville. This campaign began as a way to meet the kids where they are, in social media, to identify the red flags of victimization. Amanda Calvin was the innovator for this idea, under Wendy Rayburn, the Executive Director. “I knew they were looking for an education part [of victimization]. The light bulb [for the idea] was ‘warning signs.’ That translated to creative posters that would identify the red flag. All the posters are black and white with the red flag.” A unique warning sign is individually addressed in each poster. “Visually, we wanted to show the raw emotion of how one feels when these warning signs or red flags find their way into a relationship,” says Calvin. “The intent is to get their attention with the visual and then educate through additional resources and on-toone mentoring.” Calvin adds that this initial series focuses on how the unhealthy behaviors make you feel. Another series will illustrate the positive things you can do to self-protect. Wendy Rayburn explains: “The best prevention tactics are not scare tactics. We, as people, tend to gravitate toward the fun and happy stuff. Okay, well, in prevention, that is the best way to promote any educational piece. What’s the ‘good’ side of it? What does the ‘good’ look like?” stated Wendy. “You’re talking about encouraging ‘good.’ That’s what mentoring supports.” Teaching the kids what is good and reinforcing the good will make those things that are actually “bad” more obvious to them. atFishers.com / AUGUST 2014 / FISHERS COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER / 27

Fishers_August_2014.indd 27

The genius piece of this equation is that they have created a leadership group called the Advisory Board and Mentoring Program, consisting of 10-12 kids, ages 14-18 years old. Who else would know the issues and relevant media better than kids the same age as the target group? These kids work closely with Amanda and Wendy to send a relevant message at the appropriate time. The campaign is able to make an impact because it focuses on social media as a platform to communicate. Since technology and teen issues are constantly evolving, this leadership group is intended to keep the campaign ever-changing and current. These individuals are also advocates for this campaign in their own schools and with their peers, spreading the message through word of mouth and just by being knowledgable to recognize and speak out if they see these red flags.

physical abuse. They can include: excessive texting and phone calls, name-calling and threats, isolation, jealousy and possessiveness. They are demeaning, threatening or intimidating. “Teens need to learn to trust their gut in all things in all ways,” says Rayburn, “and we need to help them not be afraid to ask for help.” What makes the campaign so invaluable is that it is empowering teens and their parents. All parties need to know the signs of victimization so they can steer the person toward getting the proper help, ultimately eliminating it from happening again. Research shows victimization starts young. It could be as simple as: “Somebody took my backpack.” How it is dealt with can set a tone for how intimidation triggers later in life. Letting things slide or ignoring early signs can encourage that cycle to continue into more complex issues with age and situations.

“They create the campaign, keeping it from being five years behind the times,” says Rayburn. “Kids wearing T-shirts saying ‘this is where Red Flags posters have been created for use in schools. Each poster you get information’ is more effective than adults lecturing to them. identifies a safe place to report or seek help for victims, most often Kids listen more to other kids than to adults,” says Rayburn. the guidance counselors. The campaign images placed on social media direct victims to hotline numbers or links to resources. There is also a presence on Instagram, led by the Advisory Board and The Red Flag Campaign focuses on harmful behaviors and Mentoring Program. Within the first year of the campaign, posters unhealthy relationships. These areas include: Fear/Intimidation, and flyers have been distributed to libraries and schools within Dating/Relationships, Boundaries, and Social Media Intimidation Hancock and Madison Counties. AFCF will continue to grow (also called cyber bullying). the campaign within additional libraries and schools in Hamilton Relationship issues manifest in many ways, in addition to sexual or County.

“We want to educate the kids without being in-your-face or implementing a stuff y curriculum,” says Rayburn. “We have a naturally fitting partnership with Prevail, a victim advocacy group, with a prevention curriculum that we weave in, but Red Flags is the social connector. It’s a fast, relevant and non-invasive approach to sharing information. This is what makes Red Flags a campaign,” says Rayburn. How can you get involved? Advocate for the Red Flags Campaign to be in your child’s school or community. Everyone can be a voice in preventing unhealthy relationships. For more information about getting involved, please call the AFCF office at 317-773-3275 or you can go to afcfindiana.org or check out Red Flags on Facebook. When asked, near the end of the interview, what is the important message that they want to express, Rayburn and Calvin replied: “To reach kids, where they are, to help empower them to know what kinds of things are harmful in relationships and what is healthy. We want kids to advocate for each other, looking for red flags of victimization.”

BACK TO SCHOOL TRENDS AT AFFORDABLE PRICES Writer / Susan Beckwith Photographer / Brian Brosmer

Sadly, summer break is coming to an end, but the back to school fashion fun is just beginning. Although students will soon be hitting the books, that doesn’t mean they have to hit the mall to find the hottest trends. Fishers residents only have to look right in their backyard for a fresh new local boutique—Lily & Sparrow. This boutique, owned and operated by two 20-something sisters, prides itself on promoting and accenting natural beauty by offering quality trends at affordable prices.

With Lily & Sparrow’s budget-friendly prices no cause for battle with your teen, let’s talk modesty. Yes, modesty, the dreaded word that strikes resistance into almost every teen girl’s heart. So often this term conjures up images of being covered from head to toe and devoid of any personality or style. This doesn’t have to be the case. Modest fashions don’t have to be anti-mainstream. It often just means being more creative with the styling. Here are two great looks from Lily & Sparrow to demonstrate how easily this can be achieved.

Another look combines a simple summer floral dress with a cropped denim and lace vest. Because dresses are so comfortable, they are perfect for all-day wear. The vest gives this outfit a LITTLE EDGE and it’s another great piece that can be used YEAR-ROUND. For this ensemble, a shorter gold Aztec-inspired necklace was paired with a longer mint and brown lucite statement chain. Sweet little neutral ballet flats like the ones paired with both outfits are wardrobe staples as they continue to be a fashionable alternative to heels.

We don’t want to forget about the boys! Vardagen is just the answer for teen guys looking for ECLECTIC tanks, t-shirts and hoodies. This emerging brand is also located in the heart of Fishers and is strong on design. They print everything themselves on quality, hand-selected garments. Their styles are perfect for guys who don’t want to look like they’re trying too hard but also don’t want to get lost in the masses. Vardagen also has fashions for women and children. The t-shirt modeled is unique with its HIPSTER FLAIR and true American pride—perfect for standing out in a crowd.

MISS INDIANA 2014 LIVES HERE IN FISHERS

The Miss Indiana and Miss Indiana’s Outstanding Teen are both official state pageants of the Miss America Organization. The Miss Indiana Scholarship Pageant operates at the local, state, and national level. Locally, Casterline won the title Miss Hoosier Heartland prior to competing for Miss Indiana. “The Miss America Organization is the number one provider of scholarship assistance to young women in the world,” says Casterline. In fact, last year, this organization, along with its local and state affiliates, provided more than $45 million in cash and scholarship assistance. The Miss Indiana Pageant consists of young women from all around Indiana between ages 17 and 24 who compete in three preliminary nights of competition in these areas: evening wear, lifestyle and fitness in swimwear, talent, onstage question, and a 10-minute private interview with judges.

PLATFORM WITH PERSONAL PASSION

Casterline’s platform is titled “Food for Thought: Increasing the Awareness of Eating Disorders.” “I want to help young men and women relate to food in a healthy way, to understand that calories should not be restricted. Instead we should work to incorporate food calories in our diet. Carbohydrates and fats, for example, have been demonized in the media. But carbs like whole grains and fats like nuts and olives are actually essential to several important bodily functions.” She is eager to help others by sharing her real-life struggle with anorexia.

Writer / Janet C. Striebel

The Miss Indiana Pageant, held June 18-21 at the Zionsville Performing Arts Center, included 34 contestants. Only one young lady earned the title of Miss Indiana 2014: Audra Casterline of Fishers. Within hours of winning, she began making appearances and will eventually make about 50 in all. She stays busy preparing for her next competition in September when she will represent Indiana in the Miss America Pageant in Atlantic City, NJ. “I was completely shocked, thrilled and overjoyed,” says Casterline after hearing her name as the winner. “I have always dreamt of holding the title of Miss Indiana.” Her humbled reaction was embraced by thousands of followers on YouTube (youtube.com/ watch?v=UZjeBaLcoBQ.) “I love how the pageant encourages growth as a whole person,” says Casterline. “For example, the swimsuit competition isn’t about being thin but rather being physically fit. The only way to develop a winning swimsuit figure is by working out at the gym and gaining muscle mass. I also love having a platform that I am passionate about. And the judges’ interview encourages us [contestants] to have a thorough and robust understanding of current events.”

“I didn’t realize I was following a prescription of our culture,” admits Casterline, who lost 30 pounds between her freshman and junior years at college. She said it was a gradual process that began with her cutting calories so she could feel more in control. Yet, in actuality, she was losing her grip without ever realizing this downward spiraling cycle. Some of her symptoms were headaches, inability to focus, lack of energy, and trouble sleeping at night. Her wake-up call came about when her parents intervened. They started questioning her about her daily intake of calories. She hadn’t realized how few calories she was consuming. She explains how one of the state pageant directors also spoke up because he was concerned about her weight loss. Casterline says, “This organization really cares about women and it helped me get away from my eating disorder.”

VOCAL TALENT RESONATES IN FAMILY

For the talent portion of the pageant, Casterline sang “Over the Rainbow.” She says, “I’ve always loved communicating with people and performing allows you to impact and communicate with people. I’ve been singing since I was two years old.” She recalls singing her first solo on stage at the Fortville United Methodist Church where she sang “Jesus Loves Me.” Music is a common bond within her family. Casterline has often sung four-part harmony with her older sister and parents in

churches and nursing homes. Casterline never took voice lessons but did learn by mimicking her mom, studying the way she’d sing a particular note. Ironically, her dad, David Casterline, teaches voices lessons in Fishers at Michele’s Studio. michelesstudio.com.

She is training thoroughly for Miss America, including the swimsuit portion. She’s been sponsored by Core Pilates and Fitness in Carmel (corepilatesandfitness.com) and works out four days a week, two hours each day.

Coincidentally, Casterline’s sister, Ashley (Casterline) Schacht and her mom, Anita Casterline, each competed in the Miss Indiana Pageant at 19 years old. They both were contestant number 8, they both placed 3rd runner-up, and yes, just as you’d guess, they both performed vocally for the talent portion.

Be sure to watch Audra Casterline, our Fishers neighbor, as she represents Miss Indiana competing for the Miss America title on the ABC network, September 14. She will sing her song once again: “Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue, and the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.” Her dream of winning Miss Indiana came true. Winning on the national level resembles the feat of bluebirds that fly beyond the rainbow. Her renewed vision may include winning Miss America as she asks, “If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow, why, oh why can’t I?”

One year, Casterline and her sister competed for Miss Indiana simultaneously; her sister placed second runner-up. They represent the first pair of sisters ever to compete in this event. In retrospect, Casterline cherishes her past when she says, “Our best home videos and my favorite memories include being able to sing with my family. This is one piece of our family dynamic that I will always hold very dear.” Crowned at 23 years old, Casterline turned 24 one week after the pageant. She graduated from Anderson University with honors in Bible and Religion with a minor in Spanish. Her career ambition is to become a physician assistant.

Brown Bag Blues Writer / Elizabeth Blosh

SPICE UP YOUR SANDWICH

Summer is winding down and that means it’s time for the kiddos to be back in school. Lots of schools offer wonderful hot lunch programs, but maybe it’s time to consider the benefits of packing your own lunch. Besides being cost effective, packing a lunch can give you many dietary benefits. To help you get out of your brown bag blues, I have some helpful tips.

PRE-PLAN

Using oil and vinegar in your tuna salad or chicken salad instead of mayo creates a tasty sandwich that doesn’t run as big a health risk. See recipe for sandwich switch-up.

DITCH THE RANCH Using ranch dressing to get your kids to eat vegetables is a thing of the past. Make your own dressings at home with oil and vinegar and some seasoning, and put that in the lunchbox. Besides being used for the kids’ veggie dip, you can use it on your adult lunch salads.

Keeping your refrigerator and cupboards stocked with the groceries you need for packing a healthy lunch will keep you on track. Pre-plan your week’s meals and get everything in one LEAVE A NOTE Write on the brown bag or leave trip before the week begins. “XOXO, Mom” on the napkin inside. Leaving words of love and BALANCE encouragement to be found during Packing a lunch allows you not only the day is a great way to let your loved to control the portions, but it ensures ones know you are always thinking your kids (and yourself) are getting about them. Consider it a brown bag a balanced meal. I recommend two text message. servings of veggies, one serving of fruit, a healthy protein and appropriate Hopefully, these tips will keep you and carbs to keep the brain and body alert your family happy and healthy this throughout the day. school season!

NO MAYO TUNA SALAD SANDWICH (Serves 4) INGREDIENTS - 2 (6 ounce) packets of tuna - 1 T red wine vinegar - 1 T extra-virgin olive oil - 1 t grated lemon peel - 2 t fresh lemon juice - 2 T diced red onions - 2 T finely chopped Kalamata olives - salt - Fresh ground black pepper - 8 slices seven-grain bread - sliced avocado - sliced tomato DIRECTIONS In a bowl, mix together the tuna, vinegar, oil, lemon juice, onions & olives. Season to taste with salt & pepper (better to refrigerate overnight to let flavors blend). Make sandwiches, layering the tuna salad on 4 slices, followed by avocado & tomato.
