CONNER PRAIRIE

by CANDLELIGHT & So Much More!

Writer / Kara Reibel

Family traditions are what make the holidays special. But how did these traditions evolve? Were the holidays always celebrated the same way we do today? One local tradition is Conner Prairie by Candlelight. This annual event provides a unique window to the past.

This living history experience explores the celebrations of the families of Prairietown. Guests are able to discover and share in the festivities of Christmas and Hanukkah, as they were celebrated 178 years ago.

“The holiday celebrations of 1836 widely varied, depending on the family and religious background,” said Conner Prairie Interpretation Program Michelle Evans. “For instance, guests are surprised that there is a lack of Christmas trees.” This Victorian holiday influence did not occur until later in the 19th century.

Romantic, peaceful and inspirational – this experience is like none other. The Conner Prairie Interactive History Park is a special destination all year, but the Candlelight event being perhaps a favorite among guests. The guided, 90-minute

experience allows guests to interact and assist the families of Prairietown in preparing for their holiday in a variety of ways.

Holiday Adventures is the daytime version of the Candlelight holiday celebrations, without the structure. This event allows guests to move about at their own pace, with all of the fun of the Candlelight celebrations.

The Welcome Center offers a host of holiday activities.

The Gingerbread Village display showcases the talents of local amateurs and professionals. The details, thoughts and planning that go into these creative scenes are priceless.

Puppet shows, storytelling, and sing-a-longs are all possibilities for what may occur on stage in the Anything Can Happen Theater. The Science of Baking is explored through experiments with yeast and leavening agents. Another favorite is the chocolate drink in the Conner House. American Heritage Chocolate, funded and researched by the Mars Company, is melted and mixed with spices for a delicious warm beverage.

Children will enjoy dining with the jolly guy in the red suit.

The Santa breakfast or dinner events are now open to nonmembers of the Conner Prairie Interactive History Park.

TOM CURRY

LOOKING BACK ON 28 YEARS OF S.P.O.R.T.S. Writer / Marcia Vigren . Photographer / Brian Brosmer

Twenty-eight years after he helped launch a youth sports program that changed Fishers for the better, Tom Curry is ready to completely turn over the reigns.

participants on the S.P.O.R.T.S. leagues. But because some kids play more than one sport, there are probably about 9,000-10,000 kids actually involved.

Each year, about 65,000 events including practices, games and camps take place in 150 venues. The S.P.O.R.T.S. office takes care of coordinating it all.

It was 1987 when he and four other people started meeting in the basement of a bank to develop the S.P.O.R.T.S. program. Today, Curry is the only originator still involved, even though he hasn’t had The baseball league is one of the five largest in the country.

“Competing is a basic human drive, not unlike the drive to survive, procreate, etc.”

drive, not unlike the drive to survive, procreate, etc.”

The S.P.O.R.T.S. program plays a big role in families’ decisions to move to Fishers. “People like to be involved in their kids’ athletics as either a coach, team parent, board member, etc,” said Curry. This is evident, he said, by the strong volunteer base that S.P.O.R.T.S. boasts. “There are 3,000 to 4,000 volunteers across all the leagues.” said Curry. “The presidents of the sports leagues can spend 40-50 hours per week on it.” While a few of the jobs are paid positions, most are volunteers, including Curry.

How big is S.P.O.R.T.S.? Currently there are approximately 16,000 students enrolled in the school district from ninth grade and younger – the ages most served by S.P.O.R.T.S. There are 12,000

Curry stayed with S.P.O.R.T.S. for so long, in his very own words, “because of my competitive edge. I’m not a quitter.”

Also, he finally has the feeling that he is leaving it in good hands with the current executive director, Linda Carlino. Curry will soon be 70 years old and is in good health but would like to take advantage of it while he can. He wants to spend more time with his grandchildren in Long Beach and Chicago – no doubt throwing balls, shooting hoops and scoring goals with them.

All are welcome to come to Curry’s retirement open house at the Billericay S.P.O.R.T.S. office from 5-8 p.m. on Jan. 8.

LIGHTING THE WAY TO SOBRIETY When Amy Temple walked through the doors of The Salvation Army’s Harbor Light Center in April 2013, it was not her first attempt to conquer addiction. This time, though, would be different.

addiction, but each time she would fall off the wagon. “It’s true what they say about life getting worse and worse each time an addict goes back out,” she said. “Mine certainly did. My using ran rampant and completely ruled my life.”

Amy’s story looked much like any other Hoosier’s until about 14 years ago. That’s when she underwent bariatric surgery and developed medical complications during her recovery. Prescription narcotics helped with the pain, but it wasn’t long before Amy became addicted.

After an intervention by family, Amy found herself on the doorstep of the Harbor Light Center for the third time. Though embarrassed and filled with shame, Amy was welcomed with open arms. She saw this as her last chance to reclaim her life.

The facility addresses the medical, psychological, emotional and spiritual needs of its clients. From detox to 12-step classes and “I was never one of those addicts who was in denial about having a problem,” Amy explains. “That was apparent to me fairly early. What counseling to chaplaincy, the program works with each individual I was in denial about was that I could control my using or get clean to create a unique path to a successful recovery. without working any kind of a program or without God in my life.”

“In the months before I came here, I was hopeless and suicidal,” Amy says, revisiting that heartbreaking time. “My family had had Amy began to seek help after more than eight years of active

enough enabling me. They had to love me enough to stop helping me kill myself. My willingness to do something different and their tough love helped to make the difference.”

For the first time, Amy was able to fully embrace the changes that had to be made in order to overcome her addiction. “We have so many clichés in recovery, but one of the things that’s said a lot is ‘you only have to change one thing, and that’s everything’ and that really has been true for me. I feel like everything has changed. I went from having no hope and praying to God to die every single day, to having so much hope for the future, so much hope for what God has in store for me.”

“WE HAVE SO MANY CLICHÉS IN RECOVERY, BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT’S SAID A LOT IS ‘YOU ONLY HAVE TO CHANGE ONE THING, AND THAT’S EVERYTHING’ AND THAT REALLY HAS BEEN TRUE FOR ME.”

Now well into her second year of recovery, Amy is still at the Harbor Light Center, but now in a supportive role. She is a Ladies Resident Assistant for the Transitional Housing Program at the facility and teaches several classes for clients going through the 12step program. As a role model for residents, she is able to encourage them in their own difficult journeys.

Amy is thankful for the supportive staff at The Salvation Army who saw her through her darkest days. “I finally have some peace and serenity in my life,” she remarks, before adding, “but God both deserves and gets all the praise and all the glory for my transformation.”

IT’S TIME TO END THE WAR ON FAT Writer / Dr. Christy Watson

How many times have you read or been told that fat is enemy No. 1 and should be avoided? Diets are simply based on calories in versus calories out and all calories were created equal. This was the message given to the public in the early ’80s. The dietary food pyramid was based on grains and carbohydrates, with little fat or protein. It was a diet that was supposed to make us healthier, to lower our risk of heart disease.

Twenty years later the results are in, and the low-fat experiment was a failure of epic proportion. Americans are sicker and more overweight than at any time in history.

Obesity is not just an epidemic;v it’s a pandemic.

There are only three macronutrients – fat, carbohydrates and protein. Our dietary intake of them must equal a total of 100 percent. If we lower one, by definition we have to increase at least one of the others

to keep the total the same. Without fat, something had to be added.

The scientific concept seemed to make some sense – if we limited saturated fats in our diet, then it would reduce “fat” in our bodies in the form of cholesterol. The idea was that we would replace saturated fats with healthy fruits and vegetables. But that wasn’t the case. Refined, processed carbohydrates and added sugars replaced fats that should have been a part of a balanced diet. These carbs were found in wheat bread, low-fat crackers and pasta. These sugars caused our blood chemistry to change, which caused us to store energy and gain weight. This also increased our hunger, which made it even more difficult to lose weight. It created a vicious cycle and has had devastating consequences to our health.

How did this happen? Can fat free bread and corn be sugars? Yes, they can. To our bodies, a low fat bagel is no different than a TOWNEPOST NETWORK / DECEMBER 2014 / TownePost.com

bag of skittles. A calorie is NOT a calorie.

Since 1970, egg consumption is down 21 percent and refined white sugar is down 35 percent. Yet high-fructose corn syrup is up 8,853 percent, and corn products, 198 percent. These are the processed food products that the food industry used to replace fat. In that same period, there was a 42 percent increase in calories from flour and cereals.

As a result, consumers unknowingly increased caloric intake from 2,109 calories per day in 1970 to 2,586 calories in 2010.

From just calories (not even the kind of calorie) alone, if those were extra calories not burned off, this would contribute to ONE pound of weight gain EVERY WEEK! And unfortunately for us, the caloric pie (unlike the macronutrients of fat, protein and carbohydrate) is not one that must remain 100 percent. If we consume more than we need, we store that energy as fat,

which goes right to our waistline. Obesity, Type 2 Diabetes and high triglycerides are the result, and it happens with little to no involvement of “evil” dietary fat!

So what is really going on inside our bodies in regard to proteins, carbohydrates and fats?

Think of your body’s metabolism as a fire.

It has to be stoked to keep the fire going.

If it doesn’t, then it starts to die down. We can stoke the fire in different ways. When we give our body sugar, we get a quick burst of energy, and our body uses some of this for basic functioning of our organs. The rest – usually quite a bit – gets stored. This is quick fuel for our cells. When this quick energy is used up and put in storage, our body thinks it is starving because there is no usable energy around. It tells our brain that it needs more energy, that we are hungry; even though we just ate and there was plenty of energy there. Therefore, we are constantly hungry and storing away more energy. And we never burn the extra because we never force our body to use an alternative fuel source.

When sugars are withheld from the diet, and we stop living on quick sugar metabolism, our body quickly figures out that it needs a fuel source. It turns to the most abundant supply of energy all of us have – our fat cells! This is called nutritional ketosis. And remember, in keeping with the 100 percent total for macronutrients, if one goes down, at least one other must go up.

This is where protein comes in. In simple terms, proteins have the same caloric energy as carbohydrates. But they have a drastically different effect on our metabolism.

First, we actually burn some calories just digesting protein. Second, proteins provide building blocks for our cells, especially muscle. Third, and in my opinion most important, protein is the best appetite suppressant we have. Protein fills our stomach, and sends a true signal of satiety or “fullness.” Now this isn’t saying that you can eat more protein than you can burn, because it all gets stored if it is in excess, but it does not stimulate the quick sugar metabolism like carbohydrates.

Where does dietary fat fit in? There has always been evidence that fat was not the

problem. The Mediterranean diet includes healthy fats like olive oil, and has been proven to have many heart-healthy and waist-healthy benefits. It is a diet espoused by reputable medical groups such as the Mayo Clinic. It has been referenced in study after study as a healthy diet. Meta-analyses of even saturated fat in the diet have failed to unequivocally prove that it alone causes higher levels of heart disease and death. On the contrary, there is mounting evidence that added sugar in the diet has a direct and linear relationship to higher levels of cardiovascular disease and death.

So how can a consumer keep it all straight?

How can we guide our own diets and those of our families? First, read every label. The label on the back of the package, not the one on the front from the marketing department of the food company. And know what you are putting in your body. Just for fun, journal everything you eat in a week to get an idea of your actual caloric (energy) intake, and look at where those calories come from.

Are they sugars, flour, and processed foods?

Finally, do a little research yourself. Don’t rely on the government, the food industry or even the diet industry to safeguard your

☐ Treat each holiday as one meal only.

Do not make leftovers into several days of meals. Go back to your regular eating routine and get rid of leftovers.

Remember, waste it or waist it! ☐ Continue tracking calories and exercise more than normal. ☐ Don’t skip meals before the big holiday meal. You are more likely to overeat then. Do eat small, high protein, lower calorie meals during that day. ☐ Don’t deprive yourself. If we tell our brain we can’t have something at all, we obsess over it and end up overindulging more. Instead, allow yourself a small portion of that food, so you can stop thinking about it. But be aware of overall calories. ☐ Control your stress. We all tend to overfill our lives with commitments during the holidays. Don’t be afraid to say no. The less stress you have, the and the more likely you are to continue in your normal routine and organization.

LINCOLN SQUARE PANCAKE HOUSE OPENS 9th LOCATION Lincoln Square Pancake House is a staple in central Indiana. Stop by on a Saturday or Sunday morning and the full tables speak for themselves.

The locally owned breakfast and lunch joint has opened its newest location in Fortville where there was once the Fortville Grill.

But the building is not the only thing that transferred from the original restaurant.

James Dowless, former owner of Fortville Grill, is now the most recent chef to be hired onto the Lincoln Square team.

The 11-year-old business has seen lots of growth, as Fortville will be their ninth location. And the business hopes to still grow, but Dowless has his own ideas for what the secret to success is.

“The secret is the people that work here and the food is pretty amazing,” said Dowless.

“He’s a very talented chef, but he’s even a better person,” said Katris. “He takes great pride in taking care of people. He’s a great ambassador for Lincoln Square.”

MILITARY STUDENTS RETURN FOR THE HOLIDAYS TownePost.com / DECEMBER 2014 / TOWNEPOST NETWORK

Lawrence North cadets reunite at the 2013 All Academies Ball with their dates (left to right) Ben Vittori, Collin Crane, Anna Vittori, Marco Alejos and Gigi Cabello.

D

uring the holidays, college students return home during their mid-year breaks to reunite with families and friends.

It’s also a time when Naval Academy Midshipmen return from Annapolis and convene for the annual Indiana All Academies Ball with fellow military families from Indiana.

Navy IU tailgate

This year’s chairperson of the event, Jose Alejos, has strong ties to the military and happens to live in one of the officer’s homes at historic Fort Benjamin Harrison. Alejos enlisted in the U.S. Air Force in 1979 and served 10 years. Following their father’s footsteps, his sons Marco and Andres graduated from Lawrence North High School and then were accepted into the Naval Academy and West Point respectively.

“It’s very difficult to get accepted at the academies,” said Alejos.

“Over 60,000 high school graduates apply to the academies every year with only about 3,500 getting accepted.”

Not only do applicants have to have good grades and show leadership capabilities, they also must submit letters of recommendation from U.S. Senators and Congress just to be considered for the program.

Central Indiana touts a high number of active U.S. Naval Academy and Merchant Marine “Midshipmen” as well as “Cadets,” and from the other three academies including Air Force Academy, United States Military at West Point and the Coast Guard Academy. There are 280 Hoosier Cadets and Midshipmen including those attending the associated prep schools, which will be returning home during the holidays. And while Alejos and his family love to spend time with his enlisted sons, he openly admits “they are our sons, but they belong to the USA.”

COLTS OWNER SUPPORTS MILITARY

Last year during the Navy’s sequestration, Navy Midshipmen were not allowed to fly on military planes to their away football games, including the Sept. 7 game against Indiana University. Parents of the midshipmen started reaching out to military families raising money on short notice to prepare for a tailgate event. Indianapolis Colts

owner Jim Irsay was one of the first donors to help fund the tailgate event, which attracted over 1,200 people.

“It was the largest tailgate ever hosted at IU,” said Alejos.

Dignitaries from the U.S. Navy and Department of Defense were so moved by the outpouring of support, they attended the tailgate and signed a football to give to Irsay as a token of their appreciation. The Colts owner has also sponsored the annual Indiana All Academies Ball among other military causes and functions.

INDIANA ALL ACADEMIES BALL

Military families and applicants to the academies are invited to the annual ball on Dec. 26 at The Crane Bay Event Center, located at 551 W. Merrill St. in Indianapolis.

Justice Steven David will be the keynote speaker highlighting an evening featuring a plated dinner and dancing. For other local businesses or families that would like to support these up and coming leaders in our nation’s military, sponsorships are also available to help offset the costs.

NEW GOLDFISH SWIM SCHOOL OPENING IN FISHERS Writer / Janet C. Striebel

As we brace ourselves for another long, cold, wintry season, rest assured that you can find at least one warm tropical place to visit in Fishers – the Goldfish Swim School.

The new swim school is dedicated to making kids and families safe in water. Upon entering this top-notch indoor swim school, you instantly feel like you’re on vacation somewhere in the Caribbean with its 92-degree temperature, bright colors, large wall mural featuring sea animals and sounds of splashing.

“Goldfish Swim School is dedicated to teaching swim lessons, making children safe in the water and fostering a lifelong love of swimming,” says Andrew Joseph, general manager of Goldfish Swim School in Fishers. “We offer perpetual swim lessons, meaning families can sign up for a day and time of their choice and continue as long as they want. Our class levels range from acclimating to the water at 4-months-old all the way to a recreational swim team for pre-teens.”

In early November, Goldfish broke ground for its new location next to Ace Hardware, near Casler’s in the shopping plaza off Olio Road and 116th Street. This is the second site to open in central Indiana

with Carmel being first. Originating in Michigan, there are now 22 locations within the U.S. The idea behind this indoor state-of-the-art swim school came about when Jenny McCuiston recognized the need for quality swim instruction as she provided swim lessons at a country club where her clientele continued to skyrocket. Jenny, a former collegiate swimmer at University of Arizona and Olympic trial athlete, is co-founder of Goldfish Swim School with her husband, Chris McCuiston.

“We offer the best product possible with a standardized curriculum that is taught the same way at each location,” says Andrew. “The program was developed by experts in swimming, child psychology and child development.”

Safety is a major focus of Goldfish. “We visit many schools and try to influence as many people as possible, teaching drowning prevention and respect for the water,” says Andrew.

One popular aquatic class offers bonding between parents and infants and toddlers as early as 4-to-6-months-old. This class teaches parents how to teach their children to swim.

atFishers.com / DECEMBER 2014 / FISHERS COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER / 33

“I, being a dad, especially appreciate watching other parents with their kids on Saturdays,” says Andrew, a local collegiate swimmer with a yearning to get back into it again. “Swimming is one of the first sports to enjoy with a child.”

Goldfish pays attention to details making children feel extra special.

For instance, the water temperature is 90 degrees allowing kids to stay focused and shiver-free. Plus, swimmers can receive nearly 30 different types of ribbons for completing milestones and passing levels. In addition, kids get a free balloon and a weekly prize at each lesson.

Goldfish will host its Fishers grand opening sometime in late December. Come take a free tour, learn about the curriculum and the Charter Membership that allows a child to receive a free birthday party, free family swims, and a chance to make a handprint on a tile that is permanently displayed in the facility. Also, if you’re curious and would like to test the water, ask about the “open swims” that you and your family may enjoy.

THE SNAPLINK A 13-YEAR-OLD HELPING THOSE WITH ALZHEIMER’S Writer / Kara Reibel

Most 13 year olds are more focused on their XBOX games and iPhones, and while Rahil Thanawala does play XBOX, this eighth grade student at HSE Junior High School has another focus: helping those with Alzheimer’s.

Alzheimer’s about 14 years ago with a major downslide into the disease about six years ago,” said Rahil’s mom, Rapul Thanawala.

“My grandmother lives mostly with us and she has Alzheimer’s,” said Rahil. His grandmother, Dayaben Thakker, has visited frequently over the last 16 years from India and now lives here more than not.

In order to spend time with his grandmother and also provided brain stimulation, Rahil would do puzzles with her. These puzzles were the wooden toddler type, some with magnetic pieces. Rahil became bored with them and decided to customize the puzzle experience using photographs of their family. He also created customized flashcards for his grandmother using images of their large family.

“She began showing signs of dementia /

“She will look at pictures and begin talking

all about someone or a funny story. It is with these pictures that she is piecing together memories and sharing those with us,” said Rapul.

These personal memory aides were well received by his grandmother. Rahil wishes to share this experience with others who have a family member with Alzheimer’s.

The result is his non-for-profit, The SnapLink. On his website, an individual can order customized flashcards and magnetic puzzles.

This summer, Rahil attended the Dementia Symposium at the IU School of

Neuroscience. He had a booth at the event to showcase his project. “Many researchers, doctors, nurses and caregivers visited my booth,” says Rahil.

Driven by his compassion to help his grandmother, he sought knowledge and assistance from others in the field of neuroscience. Photo Therapy, which is what he has been doing with his grandmother, helps cognitive and memory skills in Alzheimer’s and dementia patients.

Recently Rahil, along with a few generous sponsors, presented a screening of “Alive Inside,” which won the 2014 Sundance Audience Award. Generously hosted in the Eugene and Marilyn Glick History Center, the screening provided The SnapLink with its first major awareness event about nonprescription assistance for Alzheimer’s and dementia patients. This event also had keynote speakers Bryan Mills, CEO and president of Community Hospital Network, and Dr. Ann Marie Hake, memory care adviser to Eli Lilly & Co. “I can’t thank Rahil enough for bringing ‘Alive Inside’ to Indianapolis,” said donor Marianne Glick after the premiere. “I hope the film will inspire others to donate to SnapLink for the benefit of Alzheimer’s patients.”

“Alive Inside” is a documentary focusing on the powerful use of music as another cognitive tool. Filmmaker Michael RossatoBennett chronicles the efforts of social worker Dan Cohen as he demonstrates music’s ability to reach Alzheimer and dementia patients when medications fail.

The SnapLink, in addition to the puzzles and flashcards, also donates MP3 players and headsets to Alzheimer’s patients in nursing homes. Rahil speaks to assistedliving facilities, retirement communities, Alzheimer’s units, and families and caregivers for those with Alzheimer’s and Dementia about photo and music therapies.

FAIL FEST A CELEBRATION OF FAILURE IN BUSINESS

Writer / Kara Reibel

What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?

But what if you do fail? On Nov. 19, Launch Fishers presented Fail Fest 2014, a power-packed day with over 20 speakers discussing the topic of failure.

Entrepreneurs and those with a creative streak signed up to take part in the day-long event held at the Two Concourse building at Crosspoint in Fishers. Fail Fest celebrated the role failure plays in innovation, explored the risks that are worth taking, and celebrated those efforts even if they don’t hit the mark.

At Fail Fest, Wechsler facilitated a couple panel discussions. One involved the entrepreneur’s perception of failure. The second revolved around the ecosystem’s perspective on failure. This second one encompassed the investors, advisors and supporters of entrepreneurs.

“With every failure I’ve experienced in my life, I’ve tried to take away a learning point so that I don’t have to taste the bitterness again,” says Wechsler. “Failure only occurs when you quit. Every time you fall down, you get back up. You only have to get back up one last time. That is success.”

Visit LaunchFishers.com to learn more about entrepreneurial events in Fishers.

The original idea for an event based on failure came from Jacob Schpok, ISBDC director. Schpok approached John Wechsler, founder of Launch Fishers, about a small event on the topic of failure. Once commitments from an all-star cast and sponsors were solidified, the event evolved into a much larger-thanexpected enterprise.

Guest speaker and DeveloperTown partner Michael Cloran compared trying and failing to baseball.

For example, professional players are normally celebrated for their home runs. But those players miss the ball more often than they hit it. That’s the goal of Fail Fest, to bring about the awareness that someone with a strikeout shouldn’t be judged as a failure.

“We should stop benching our players [employees] that swing for the fence and occasionally miss,” says Cloran.

“It is like we choose to bench every player who swings and misses, regardless of how smart or good of a shot it was to take.

You don’t win games that way and you certainly don’t end up with a dynamic and creative entrepreneurial culture without failure,” he said.

Wechsler spoke of what failure really means to the world.

“We want to celebrate the role of failure in innovation,” said Wechsler. “Think about a world if we only pursued the things where we knew we wouldn’t fail. How innovative would that world be? Not very. In the end, the road to success is paved by failure.”

A HAVEN RIGHT HERE AT HOME

Craig Sturgis, Jim Brown & Joe Wanninger at their Haven office in Fishers

Writer / Marcia Vigren

Maybe you just bought your first house, or fifth, and are wondering: What needs to be done to care for this place? Who is a credible HVAC expert that I can call? There will soon be an app for that right here in the Indianapolis area. It’s called Haven.

Haven is a company that was founded in February at the Launch Fishers site by President Jim Brown, Head of Marketing Joe Wanninger and Head of Product Craig Sturgis. Each has a background that helped build the perfect combination for a computer app start-up.

In Brown’s words, the idea of Haven came out of their own “frustration of being homeowners and not knowing what to do and how to take care of our homes. We have a varying degree of DIY nature in us, going from me, with none, to Craig who likes to

Once you input your address, Haven is able to collect detailed data about your house. It can also store information you supply, such as your house’s paint colors and how much mulch you used, to help in future projects.

Haven will even track the local weather.

ZOOMING & GROOMING Writer / Julie Yates

Anyone who knew Haley Brown while she grew up in Fishers knew she was an animal lover. During her childhood years, her family home was always filled with various pets. Besides having horses, there were always cats and dogs. There was even more exotic four legged creatures like guinea pigs, rabbits and ferrets. Although she excelled in math and was adept in gymnastics as a cheerleader for Fishers High School, her affinity for animals made it no surprise that she chose a career as dog groomer.

before

Brown studied Wild Life Biology at the University of Montana and considered going to veterinarian school. However, after realizing some of the tragic situations a vet might encounter, she felt like her heart might be too soft to fulfill all the duties required. With her gentle nature and ability to work with animals, pet grooming seemed like the logical choice for Brown’s dream job.

After working as a groomer assistant at a pet salon for two years, Brown was hooked. She graduated from the Carmel Animal Arts Academy and went on to work in a veterinarian’s office before she found out about mobile grooming. With encouragement from her mother, Lynne Driscoll, Brown began to make her vision of opening her own mobile grooming business a reality. Together, they

Blackburn Construction Services

came up with the name Indy Zoom Groom and found a company outside of South Bend that converts vans into pet grooming salons on wheels. Brown used the proceeds from selling her car to purchase a brand new one ton van and had it outfitted with the most modern pet grooming equipment available, complete with custom graphics on the outside.

When the business opened last month, it was off and running with many appointments already booked. According to Brown, there are several advantages to having a mobile service come directly to the client.

“Pets are more relaxed during the grooming process because they can see and smell their own yard from the van, versus hearing the barking of other dogs in a vet office or conventional grooming salon,” she stated. “Having the Indy Zoom Groom van come to a home provides pets with a one-to-one personal experience that they just wouldn’t get in a kennel.”

Fees are based on the animal’s breed and Brown is knowledgeable about giving huge dogs, such as standard poodles, a show cut in addition to giving small, short haired dogs a trim. While not adverse to handling cats, Brown admits that they would have to be the mellow variety. One of her funniest stories is how a cat she was grooming once adhered itself to the ceiling, holding on with its claws.

At the present time, Indy Zoom Groom is concentrating on serving the Fishers and Geist area. In the future, Brown is hoping to expand the business. Meanwhile, she is thrilled to be doing something she truly loves.

local Tree Farm Gives to Troops & Families

Writer / Jimmy Girot . Photographer / Hannah Switzer

y first trip to Piney Acres Farm was exactly what I had envisioned upon planning the visit — a beautiful, crisp December afternoon and that indescribable holiday scent. This year, my second trip to Piney Acres Farm was on a cold and rainy Tuesday, Veterans Day coincidentally.

Following the gloomy drive through Hancock County, my mood quickly changed when I arrived at Piney Acres Farm and talked to the owner, Rex Zenor, about their efforts to help U.S. soldiers and their families.

M

For the past seven years, Piney Acres Farm has contributed hundreds of Christmas trees to a national program called Trees for Troops. Trees for Troops is a special initiative Indiana consistently sets the standard for and Piney Acres has played a pivotal role in the process.

Trees for Troops is a program of the Christmas SPIRIT Foundation, which provides free farm-grown Christmas Trees to United States armed forces members in all branches of the military and their families. The program is made possible through donations, sponsorships, grants and the work of volunteers. FedEx, a huge partner in the mission, delivers these trees to more than 60 military bases both in the U.S. and overseas.

Piney Acres is one of 450 Christmas Tree growers who donate to Trees for Troops. Zenor added that Indiana is leading the way in the Trees for Troops program, calling it the “nation’s kick starter.” Each year before Christmas, the local National Guard picks up the trees from Piney Acres and delivers them to the central location in Boone County for FedEx packaging and travel. The process may experience roadblocks, Zenor mentioned, but Trees for Troops will “make sure the soldiers and families get their trees before Christmas.”

To contribute to Tree for Troops, you can select a tree at Piney Acres and write a personalized note, or you can make a monetary donation online.

For more information about Trees for Troops or Piney Acres Farm, check out pineyacresfarm.com or stop by their Christmas Tree farm located just three miles east of Fortville.

Other local tree farms that contribute to Indiana’s leadership in the Trees for Troops program are Yakey Tree Farm in Fishers and Dull’s Tree Farm in Thorntown.
