HOW INFORMED PET LOVERS CHOOSE PET FOOD USE COST TO FEED, NOT COST PER POUND. NUTRIENT DENSITY!
Writer / David Moore
The pet food industry is not anything like human food. The FDA has very strict rules for food for human consumption. Pet food is overseen by AAFCO, The Association of American Feed Control Officials. This organization was put in place many years ago to oversee feed for farm animals, many raised for slaughter and live short lives. The standards for feed should be much different than the standards for food for our furry family members. We want them to live high-quality long lives
You probably have seen advertising for pet foods that advertise “real meat� as their first ingredient. This is misleading. Manufacturers list ingredients on packaging in order by weight when they source the ingredients. They are not listed on Many terms are not defined in pet food packaging by weight after processing as you industry, so you need to ask questions. buy them and serve to your furry family Examples of undefined terms, small breed, members. For example, if the first ingredient large breed, holistic, weight loss, senior and is whole protein, chicken, beef, venison, many more that you often see on pet food duck or any other whole protein it is not the packaging. You must ask questions about first ingredient when you buy it. The reason formulations so you know you are getting is whole protein, chicken vs chicken meal the proper nutrition needed for your includes high moisture and meal does not. family pets. For example, 10lbs of chicken at 80 percent with good health. Each state is responsible to see that what is listed on the bag is actually in the bag. In Indiana that is done by the Indiana State Chemist Office. I hope you can see the challenges this arrangement can create.
8 / GEIST MAGAZINE / OCTOBER 2017 / atGeist.com
moisture will only be 3lbs of chicken at 10 percent moisture. Ten percent is a typical moisture level for kibble in dry pet food. This is important to understand, so look at your pets food. Most pet parents purchase pet food by the cost per pound. How big is the bag and how much does it cost? This does not reflect the cost to feed, which is the most important thing to consider. There is a well-known brand of food that the feeding guidelines are 3.5 cups of food for a 50lb dog. We have foods that only require two cups for a 50lb dog. Think of the quality of ingredients and fillers that must be in that food. It will end up in your back yard and your pet must process all those fillers.
dogs and cookies, but they are much better for you. The same is true for your furry family members. Paws Stop will provide a free analysis of any pet food with no obligation to purchase anything. We want all Pet Loves to be informed and understand what they are really feeding their family pets.
We recommend you buy pet food looking at the cost to feed, and we can show you how to do that. Foods that require smaller servings have higher quality ingredients. We call this nutrient density. Fruit and vegetables are more expensive than hot

Dr. Shane Robbins, superintendent of the Mt. Vernon Community School Corporation
Duty Calls
MT. VERNON SCHOOLS SUPERINTENDENT DEPLOYED TO SUPPORT HURRICANE IRMA VICTIMS
Writer / Matt Keating Photographer / Keeley Miller
Sometimes a horrible natural disaster such as Hurricane Irma can bring out the best in people. Just ask Dr. Shane Robbins, superintendent of the Mt. Vernon Community School Corporation (MVCSC). Dr. Robbins, who is with The United States Army and the Indiana National Guard, was recently activated in support of disaster relief for Hurricane Irma and was overwhelmed at the amount of cooperation and support he received from several different corporations and communities.
Dr. Robbins’ area of focus was the medical evacuation for Florida medical patients affected by the hurricane’s devastation. In addition to being MVCSC’s Superintendent, Dr. Robbins works for the Federal Coordinating Center (FCC) and is the Administrative Chief for the FCC of Columbia, South Carolina. “Our country has been hurting for the last six months,” Dr. Robbins said during a phone interview on his way to help Hurricane Irma victims. “I’ve been very impressed with the amount of cooperation across the country. People need this right now. This is a positive way for people to come together.”
atGeist.com / OCTOBER 2017 / GEIST MAGAZINE / 13
Dr. Robbins, a Fishers resident, has also been amazed at the number of entities involved in getting medical help to people affected by Hurricane Irma. “We are working with everyone from The Forest Service to the Air Force,” Dr. Robbins says. “There have been a lot of good, solid partnerships, with everyone working together to help the victims. We work to provide the patients with vacant beds.” Dr. Robbins’ background includes significant training as a medical service core officer. He has served his country in the United States Army and the Indiana
National Guard since 1987. He rose in rank as a Lieutenant Colonel and was the Education Officer and Chief of Operations during the “Operation Enduring Freedom” deployment to Afghanistan. “I’ve also been to Korea and Kuwait,” Dr. Robbins says. “But I’ve never traveled anywhere as great as the U.S. Americans really know how to rise to the occasion and help each other when assistance is needed.” P

the Bank that’s Close to home.
For the patients affected by Hurricane Irma, there are two levels of patient transfer requests for facilities, according to Dr. Robbins. The first level of medical requests goes through the Veterans Affairs (VA). Once the VA is inundated, a request is then made to the Federal Defense, and Dr. Robbins’ team may be activated. “We will accept patents from Florida into Georgia, or if Georgia is not an option, we will transfer them to South Carolina,” Dr. Robbins says. “We will be located in South Carolina and coordinate patient transfers using military and civilian equipment. Every year we have an exercise with FEMA and the South Carolina Forestry Department, and we simulate mass patient movement. So, now we will be enacting the plans.”
At the National Bank of Indianapolis, we’re proud to be the Indianapolis area’s largest locally owned national bank. Our private bankers, our directors, even our shareholders live and work in Greater Indianapolis. Decisions are made locally by people close to the community. So if you’re looking for professional banking service from someone who cares, call Sherry Hyska today at 317-261-9736.
Dr. Robbins, who is in his third year as superintendent of the Mt. Vernon Community School Corporation, said he thoroughly enjoys his job.
She’ll make you feel right at home.
“I enjoy driving through Fortville every day on my way to work in Mt. Vernon,” Dr. Robbins says. “I’m very excited about my job.” Dr. Robbins plans to communicate with his talented Mt. Vernon staff through technology.

CATHEDRAL HIGH SCHOOL LAUNCHES NEW BROADCASTING PROGRAM Writer / Lynda Hedberg Thies Photographer / Brian Brosmer
Cathedral High School is preparing future broadcasting talent with its newly launched elective class: “Introduction to Broadcasting: Radio and Television I”. The class was announced last spring just as students were signing up for their 20172018 class schedules. Approximately 25 students spend time during class learning how to broadcast a sporting event and on the weekends in the media booth and on the field getting hands on experience actually applying what they learn. The idea to utilize students to broadcast games, performances and events is not new to high schools and has been a goal of Cathedral for quite some time. Leading
the charge is legendary and newly retired Cathedral volleyball coach, Jean Kesterson. Kesterson’s legacy of achieving excellence made her the perfect candidate to establish a highly successful broadcasting program. “After 40 years being a coach, I can tell you that I most definitely miss being on the court,” Kesterson says. “But I was ready for a new challenge, and this is a tremendous opportunity for Cathedral High School and for the students. This could be a career path for some of these kids, and I am excited to be part of a program that can give our students hands-on experience that will help them should they decide to study broadcasting at the college level.” At the first home football game of the season, the first round of students atGeist.com / OCTOBER 2017 / GEIST MAGAZINE / 15
volunteered to put their knowledge and enthusiasm to use at the University of Indianapolis, where the Irish played their 56th Street rival, the Chatard Trojans. The downside of not having a home field is actually an advantage for the football team as well as the broadcast team because they will have the opportunity to learn to adapt in many different environments, which will serve the students well. The students had that opportunity to adapt at the first game when they realized their video was not working. This technical error right out of the gate helped them realize that things don’t always go as planned. Rolly Landeros, Cathedral IT Director, is assisting the class in learning the technology. “Because of the way the program is set up,
the error caused the audio to play but not the video,” Landeros says. “If we stopped the program to fix the error, the link we posted would not work. Eventually we did send out a new link. That helped us to teach the students to be ready for any challenge.”
In a world of change, our focus is steadfast.
The class is comprised of every grade level. At the first game, there were three students that volunteered to put their knowledge to practice. Rylin Harvey, Cathedral junior, was one of three students that volunteered to work in the booth and explained what it felt like to put the classroom knowledge to use. “Being in the class and now being in the media booth feels amazing,” Harvey says. “Working with the computer and the Wirecast is amazing. I can totally see myself doing this for a living.” “It was so fascinating to see how broadcasting works in the classroom, but to see the action in the booth was incredible,” says Magnus Major, another Cathedral junior. The lone sophomore in the booth, Andrew George, was perhaps the most wide-eyed about the experience. “You know it has been great being in this atmosphere, sitting here with all these talented professional broadcasters, the fans and seeing how it all works has been really exciting. I’m looking forward to being back in the booth again.”

OPENS AT THE LANTERN CROSSING CENTER
Lisa Olson and Sylvia Triske recently opened the Gratitude Boutique near 96th and Lantern Road.
Writer / Lynda Hedberg Thies Photographer / Jamie Sangar
Proprietor Lisa Olson knew at a very young age that her destiny was to own and run her own boutique. Throughout most of her career Olson worked in a variety of retail organizations in a variety of positions until she switched to the mortgage industry. The idea to own and run her own boutique was always in the back of her mind, but she was just waiting to find the right business partner. Ironically, a return to part-time retail work would not only introduce her future business partner but solidify her gratitude for the life challenges that brought the two together. As a recent empty nester, Olson realized she really missed retail and decided to take a part-time job at a boutique that Sylvia Triske was managing. The married mom of two college-age daughters had a
strong sense of design and, after working for a home builder, decided to utilize her experience in the retail industry. Triske met Olson, also an empty nester, at the boutique she managed and soon realized they shared a common vision for combining their fashion and design experiences with their philosophy of faith and fun. Olson and Triske decided they would open a boutique that would allow them to be a light in the community wherever that led them, and it led them to create the Gratitude Boutique. The name came out of the gratefulness and gratitude for why the women came together and a definite plan for why they met. Both women wanted to give their clients an experience and create a boutique that was more a “mom-and-pop” style of business in order to connect with their client’s needs and keep them coming back. 20 / GEIST MAGAZINE / OCTOBER 2017 / atGeist.com
“It was essential that our boutique offer a broad range of sizes for all shapes and sizes,” says Triske, Gratitude Director of Operations. But Gratitude is more than women’s apparel, they offer men’s apparel and accessories, infant apparel, fashion jewelry, health & beauty products for men, women and babies, housewares, footwear, gifts, food items and unique home décor including lake house decor items all at an affordable price. The store also boasts a mancave at the back of the store with a comfy leather couch complete with a flat screen TV where male clients will find footwear, scarves, socks, t-shirt, college accessories and cologne. The goal was to create an experience for their clients that would keep them coming back. It seems to be working. In their first four weeks of business, many of their new
clients have returned weekly to say hello and see what new merchandise had arrived at the store. “The dream to own a boutique where our clients have a welcoming and safe place to shop and that they would feel comfortable browsing the latest selection of fun and unique items, as if they were popping into their friend's living room, has finally become a reality” Olson says. The Gratitude Boutique opened its doors for business in August. The store is in the Lantern Crossing Center at 8912 E. 96th Street in Fishers conveniently between Rita’s Italian Ice and Cynthia’s Hallmark Store. Store hours are Monday through Saturday 10a.m. to 8p.m. The store will open on Sundays from 12-5p.m. throughout the holiday season.

FISHERS RUNNING CLUB COME FOR THE CARDIO, STAY FOR THE COMMUNITY Writer / Suzanne Huntzinger Photographer / Jamie Sangar
No more putting off getting back in the exercise routine. Fishers Running Club President, Scott Fussell, and all in his group invite you to join their running community. Fishers Running Club is new to the community. Fussell kicked off the group’s first community run/walk back on January 21. “People were starting to train for the Geist Half, so this was the perfect launch
point for the club to grow awareness, provide training support and build our community,” Fussell says. Since then, their membership has grown to nearly 100 members, and their social media following has grown 350 percent. That’s a quick ramp up for Fussell who describes himself as “late to the running game.” He says he caught the running bug from his next-door neighbors. “One day I joined them for a three miler. Two months later I’m in my first race, and I loved it,” Fussell says. “The community, 22 / GEIST MAGAZINE / OCTOBER 2017 / atGeist.com
the energy, the competition. All of it. Since then, I’ve run my share of half marathons and a few full marathons. Incredible people have been a part of my journey in extraordinary ways. Paying that back and creating a local home, a sense of community and connection for area runners and walkers were the primary motivators for my desire to start a local club.” Fussell turned that desire into reality a couple years ago when he started RUN XPT with some friends. Then in January, he was approached with the idea of trying to grow a running club that felt and
sounded a little more connected to Fishers. So, Fishers Running Club was launched. “Watching our original idea morph into what we have today has been a wonderful process,” Fussell adds. “We’re connecting people with ideas, goals, possibilities and friendships that wouldn’t have happened otherwise. We’re not just healthier because of running. I’m convinced lives, even off the pavement, are changing thanks to the community and connections we’re creating.” Like many running clubs, Fishers Running Club is for all ages, experiences levels and paces from the beginning walker to the elite marathoner. The club offers training plans, on-course support and proximity to some of Central Indiana’s most beautiful running paths. But Fussell says what sets the club apart from others is the connections between the people and the sense of community.
“I simply can’t say enough about our people,” he says. “They’re just amazing. The friendships keep folks coming back each week. There’s incredible accountability that comes with those friendships and that’s one of the greatest motivators. That’s how we coined the phrase: ‘Come for the cardio. Stay for the community.’” Beyond the friendships and motivation, Fussell says, “Our goal is for each member to simply enjoy the journey whether it’s walking your first 5K or training for your 20th marathon. If we miss the joy in the process, we’ve also missed the point.” Fussell and the club encourage members to set big goals and go after them. If you’re not convinced yet to join, Fussell has some words of encouragement. “You really have to be in it to get it,” he says. “You have join us for a run, hear the stories

people share about their own journeys. Hear how running has helped someone drop 150lbs, or how running helps people overcome their depression and anxiety. Hear couples share how running is one more way they keep their marriage happy and healthy.” Right now, during their 7:30 Summer Series, Fishers Running Club meets every Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. at Wooden Bear in Geist, and every Saturday morning at 7:30 a.m. at NerdyGirl Cupcakes. Check out their webpage fishersrunningclub.com for details about their membership levels and options. Fishers Running Club is also on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Fussell says they’ll be altering their midweek schedule as the daylight hours shorten, so be sure to check the club’s social media feeds for the latest schedule and location changes.

The Finblooms do not condone underage drinking but recognize the importance of communicating with teens because the problem is not going to go away. And the Finblooms feel confident that if they had known about the information, it would be their son making these presentations. In honor of their son, who was supposed to start his freshman year at Oklahoma State, the Finblooms helped the state of Oklahoma get the same Lifeline Law passed. If you are a parent of a high school or college student, this is a community issue as well as a family issue. The best chance our teens have is when everyone is involved and aware. Our community needs everyone to get involved and to be aware of this law. It starts with parents talking to their teens and sharing the information, because if your teens’ friends are aware, it can literally be the difference between life and death. But getting teens to listen is not always easy. That is why the Cathedral Mothers’ Club recently invited Dawn Finbloom to share her journey “The Imperfect Storm: A Mother’s Story” on September 21 at the Hawthorns Country Club. The Finblooms message, “Learn How to Save Your Teenager’s Life” educates parents on how to talk to your teens and make good choices, so that you have more time with your teen.

basis of opening a conversation.
We had something in common. As a group, we were all over 55 with big and little dogs at our feet and something else — we were strangers to each other on a walking path.
We walked together for a little while before heading off in different directions. A small bond was indeed in place that left a hope in my heart I would see them again. As I walked on with little Charlie, I thought how the world is so hectic and fast paced.
It is a wonder to me every time I meet complete strangers how easy conversation flows when we have our furry creatures as a

and they stop at every pole to "mark" their own scent, time slows down. When you walk with these little animals, conversations are not necessary. No expectations are required. The needs of stress evaporate, calming the streaming pattern of thoughts we deal with way too much. The fact that you are together, out in the fresh air doing something so small as walking, is all that matters. I believe it takes a long time to create a long-term human friendship. I know someone that calls everyone they meet at 1:00 p.m. a "good friend" by 1:15 pm. I contemplate on this reflection a great deal these days. What is the real foundation of calling someone a friend? There is much pressure, especially on social media, to boast about how many friends you have. A strong presence of so called friends in a column is easy to gain on Facebook by simply going through and asking people to confirm you as a friend, even if you have never met them.

A real friend to me is someone I value and respect. A good friend shares many things in common but, at the same time, brings a somewhat different perspective to each conversation shared. A friend can change my mind without hurting my feelings.

It takes time to explore the wonder of acquiring good friends and to appreciate those times together laughing, crying or just being silent in the moment. Silence refreshes your soul and releases the tightness of stress. Sharing that kind of moment with another person feels natural — a bond you share that comes within a friendship. But on this day, strangers gathered on a walking path that I might never see again. It was a meaningful experience cherished in real time. We all need more of this kind of time. Live a life of purposefulness!

MEET THE CREW
CREW CARWASH DELIVERS DYNAMIC CUSTOMER SERVICE, ONE WASH AT A TIME
In 1978, the company switched to an exterior-only concept, so they could deliver a fast and quick experience for the In 1948, brothers Joe and Ed Dahm started customer. Then in 1985, they opened their Mike’s Minit Man, Indiana’s first automated first location in Indianapolis on Allisonville carwash and one of only 18 in operation in Road. Through the years, they’ve added the U.S. Located in Ft. Wayne, it was initially multiple locations and currently have 23 in a full-service carwash, which included both the Indy area. interior and exterior care. Writer / Christy Heitger-Ewing Photographer / Brian Brosmer
“Back then they would attach a chain to the vehicle and pull it through the wash on a conveyer, then hand-scrub it,” says Sally Dahm Grant, Joe’s granddaughter and current Executive Vice President of the company. Through the years, technology has changed significantly and now includes computercontrolled equipment and touchless hot air dryers. One thing that hasn’t changed, however, is the company motto on which the founders built their business. “My grandfather and his brother believed strongly in treating people the way you want to be treated,” says Grant, whose father, Bill, is the CEO. “That goes for both our customers and our employees.” The family later dropped the words “Minit Man” so it read Mike’s Carwash.
“We were blessed to be here in the mid-80s when the city was vibrant and experiencing explosive growth,” Grant says. Three years ago, Bill Dahm and his brother, Mike, went through a friendly reorganizing of the business in which they divided the locations between them. Mike took 19, many of them in Ohio. Bill kept 26, most of them in the Indianapolis area, and changed the name to Crew Carwash. “Other than the name, nothing has changed,” Grant says. “We’re still familyowned. We’re still committed to delivering dynamite customer service. We’re still surrounded by positive, high-energy people.” Grant, a graduate of Indiana University, worked in Chicago and Cincinnati before returning to her roots 14 years ago to join the team in a marketing capacity. INDY METRO / OCTOBER 2017 / TownePost.com
“My grandfather always said, ‘We’re really in the people business. We just happen to wash cars,’” Grant says. “Joe said that nobody cares about what you did last week or last year, they only remember their last visit,” adds Tom Wiederin, recruiting director for Crew for the past 17 years. “That’s why it’s vital to never become complacent so that we consistently deliver the ‘wow experience’ to customers.” It seems to be working as Grant says when customers speak about the Crew Carwash experience, the first thing they mention isn’t how sparkling clean their car is but rather how dazzled they are by the team who washed it. That team is assembled by careful design. Many are high school and college students with stellar attitudes and winning smiles. The company also hires talented individuals into its fast-track management program, which starts at a competitive annual salary. “The bulk of these people come from the restaurant and retail industry because they have experience managing and leading a team,” Wiederin says. “That makes them successful candidates.”
In addition, the company offers up to $2,500 of tuition assistance to college students, which they can use on rent, books or other expenses. Employees appreciate the perks and pay but mostly they like the respect they receive. “When we survey our employees, the number one thing they like about working here isn’t the comp time or the scheduling or even the paycheck,” Grant says. “It’s their colleagues. That’s why we have good retention.” Wiederin agrees. “We can teach skills, but we can’t teach a great work ethic,” he says. “We make a point to hire people with happy demeanors and good attitudes.” That happiness, in turn, extends to even the smallest, most discerning customer. Years ago, Joe (the founder) noticed that children were scared to go through the automatic carwash. To help ease their anxiety, Joe purchased several stuffed puppets and set them out throughout the carwash, making sure to have one in the blower room so that the experience would be fondly anticipated rather than dreaded. “That tradition started decades ago, and it’s one we’ve carried on at all our locations,” says Grant, noting that they switch out the toys every few weeks and spend thousands of dollars monthly on the fuzzy friends. “Not many businesses have a line item budget for stuffed animals.” Joe is now 90 and a grandfather and great-grandfather. He lives in Ft. Wayne except for the months he spends wintering in Florida. “His attention to detail and sincere customer focus is unparalleled,” says Grant, proud to carry on the family legacy. “We strive to continue on what he started.” Sign up now for the Unlimited Wash Pass for $29/month.

PUTTING THE GARDEN TO BED IN OCTOBER
INDY METRO / OCTOBER 2017 / TownePost.com
Writer / Carrie Petty
The subtle transition from late summer to fall is one of the most beautiful times of the year in Indiana. I have always said, “No one does fall better than Indiana!” And it’s true. The colors are so vibrant in our state. So, get out there and enjoy these autumn days. Many chores to get done right now, this is the month to put the gardens to bed for winter. There are lots of seed heads to collect in the garden for re-sowing in the springtime, and do not forget the birds. Keep those feeders clean and full to the brim. They will be hungry as the berries get eaten and insects become less available. Begin your winter prep by cutting back perennials and cleaning up yard debris. Also, this is a great time to put down your lawn weed prevention for spring weeds. If you do not want dandelions, this is the time to treat. This year we have a very high chance of an abundantly vibrant foliage season. Carbohydrates and sugars are not just about watching a girl’s waistline, they also have a great deal to do with the colors that appear on our Indiana foliage. When our fall season is at the peak (around October 15), we should see an abundance of reds, purples and oranges. I press leaves and bring in acorns to dry for my fall dinner table centerpieces. A little touch of gold spray paint is great on the acorn caps. The United States National Arboretum states that, “A growing season with ample moisture that is followed by a rather dry, cool, sunny autumn that is marked by warm days and cool but frostless nights provides the best weather conditions for development of the brightest fall colors. Lack of wind and rain in the autumn prolongs the display. Wind or heavy rain may cause the leaves to be lost before they develop their full color potential.” We are headed for the perfect mix here in the Hoosier State this autumn. When the days are sunny, I love to drive down the Indiana country roads and forage for great flowers to hang-up and dry for fall arrangements. I use my back-hall closet to dry flowers, because it is dark and I have a great closet shelf rod I use. Goldenrod is one of my favorites to harvest. Many believe it is what people get hay fever from but that is an honest mistake because it looks much like the culprit, Ragweed. God is an amazing creator. There are more than 100 different types of just Goldenrod. Who knew?
CARRIE’S FALL GARDEN CHECKLIST Cut perennials back to 3 inches high, but leave some seed heads for the birds Be sure to shake any full seed heads back into the Garden Harvest all final flowers and veggies Plant bulbs, bulbs and more bulbs until ground freezes Harden off plants to bring indoors, stop bugs by misting 1-part rubbing alcohol to 10-part water.

IKEA FISHERS OPENS ITS DOORS OCTOBER 11

Representatives from the new IKEA home furnishings retail store in Fishers will be getting out their celebratory saw on Wednesday, October 11 when the store officially opens to the public at 9 a.m.

future guests,” explains Joseph Roth, IKEA public affairs manager for U.S. expansion. “So, that’s how we inaugurate IKEA stores.” After officially filing building plans with the city of Fishers back in November of 2015, IKEA will celebrate its grand opening less than two years later with furniture was
live music starting at 6 a.m., and a formal ceremony featuring the raising of the American, Swedish and Indiana flags and brief remarks from IKEA representatives and public officials. The store is the company’s 45th in the U.S. Customers can begin lining up to enter two days in advance of the 9 a.m. opening for the freebies and festivities – the company welcomes tents and sleeping bags, and employees typically even organize games and activities to help pass the time for those willing to wait for long stretches. If past grand openings are any indication, the store will give out a number of free sofas corresponding to the number of U.S. IKEA stores. While the company has not announced giveaway details for the Fishers grand opening, giveaways at past openings throughout the U.S. have included armchairs, mattresses and gift cards, as well as free home delivery for those making purchases on the day of the opening. Founded in 1943 in Sweden, IKEA specializes in affordable and mostly unassembled furniture, appliances and home accessories at more than 390 stores in 48 countries. Roth says the Fishers location, at the 116th Street exit on the east side of Interstate 69, seemed like a no-brainer when the company TownePost.com / OCTOBER 2017 / INDY METRO

seeking out the right spot for its next U.S. store a few years ago. “Whenever we’re looking for locations for an IKEA store, we’re looking for good freeway access and visibility,” he says. “The access there on I-69 is just so easy.

The 289,000-square-foot store, which sits on 35 acres, features solar panels on its roof, a children’s play area inside and a restaurant that seats 325. Roth says the 250-plus employees hired for the store are mostly locals – including Indiana native Holly Davidson, who will serve as store manager – and a few transfers from other U.S. IKEA locations. “The city of Fishers was very organized with a clear vision,” Roth says of the planning and construction process. “They had already planned for addressing infrastructure support for anything that could go in that location, so it seemed like a great fit. People around the city are very excited and welcoming for IKEA. Many of them have shopped at other IKEA stores and recognize how it can increase the draw to other businesses in the area.” IKEA is located at 11400 IKEA Way in Fishers, near the intersection of 116th Street and I-69.

THE LEGACY OF THE 1987 PAN-AM GAMES INDIANAPOLIS CELEBRATES 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE EVENT Writer / Lynda Hedberg Thies Photos provided by the City of Indianapolis
The vision to utilize sports to revitalize downtown Indianapolis’ image was part of a strategic plan that started nearly 50 years ago. Unique opportunities along the way opened the door for the city of Indianapolis, which recently celebrated the 30th Anniversary of the Pan American Games. The 1987 Pan Am Games not only were successfully produced by the city of Indianapolis but were the most successful in Olympic history and became the catalyst that established Indianapolis as the Amateur Sports Capitol of the World. The Indianapolis Mayors Office and Parks and Recreation Department hosted a panel discussion in August to discuss the event and the impact it had on the city. “The City That Pan Am Built: How Indy Became the Amateur Sports Capitol of the World” featured local business and community leaders that were instrumental in the 1987 Games. The panel discussion held at Garfield Park Arts Center, featured three prominent leaders on the Pan Am Games Indianapolis Organizing Committee knowns as PAX/I. Bill Benner, now Senior Vice President of the Indiana Pacers, was a sports reporter for the Indianapolis
Star back during the games, served as the moderator for the panel which included Ted Boehm, retired Indiana Supreme Court Justice and lawyer who helped launch many of the city’s premier sporting events and Mark Miles, President and CEO of Hulman & Company, the former President of the Pan Am Games. Susan Zurbuchen, Associate Professor and Chair of the Arts INDY METRO / OCTOBER 2017 / TownePost.com
Department at Butler University, was the coordinator of the 1987 Pan Am Games Arts Festival. “The original idea was to use sports to rebuild the city’s image was born when Congress passed the Amateur Sports Act, which was intended to create sports governing bodies for every sport rather
than allowing a few entities to control all Olympic sports and that there be a governing body for each sport,” according to Boehm, whom Benner called a visionary. “The plan was to strategically make Indianapolis an attractive place to house their headquarters and also provide the facilities that would accommodate their sports. Indianapolis was at the right place at the right time to take advantage of this change in the infrastructure, and they got to work building facilities, the Natatorium, the track and field, a cycling track and continued to build a lot of facilities that a lot of cities simply did not have.” The city created a sports commission in the late 1970s that would later become the Indiana Sports Corporation. This level of collaboration between civic and business leaders allowed the city’s common goal of reinventing its image to take place more efficiently. This allowed them to host the 1982 Sports Festival, which gave the country a view into what Indianapolis was creating. This was the key event which caught the attention of the U.S. Olympic Committee. The city utilized 3,000 volunteers. When the 1987 Pan American Games original host, Chile’ backed out and Ecuador had to decline due to a lack of financial resources, Indianapolis received the invitation to bid on the games. Indianapolis was awarded the games, but had the daunting task of only having two
years to pull the event off. Despite having only half the time to organize the games, the city thrived in its quest to lead the sporting industry. They handled political challenges involving Fidel Castro, who threatened to boycott the games, they established a plan to offer not just national media coverage but one that allowed international media coverage, raised the necessary funds and created a diverse staff, which Miles stated was critical. The organizing committee, known as PAXI, not only raised the $33 million dollars to host the event in under two years, but they saved money with the help
of 36,000 volunteers, and they already had all the facilities in place to host the event. They put themselves in the perfect position and they pulled it off beautifully on the world’s biggest stage. In the past 30 years, the city has played host to multiple NCAA Regional Tournaments, Final Fours and the NCAA organization eventually relocated here. Each event cemented the city’s ability to host bigger events, including the Super Bowl in 2012. Indianapolis capitalized on the success, and with each event, the city’s image gained momentum and became the clean, green and vibrant sports “Indiashow-place” city that it is today.

DOUBLE THE TROUBLE, TWICE THE LUCK Writer / Christy Heitger-Ewing
We’ve all had bad days, but Carmel resident Gerald Miller may well take the prize for the worst one yet. In fact, all his trouble happened in the span of just a few short hours back in October 1982. Miller, 30 years old at the time, was on active duty in the Navy, stationed as a pharmacist on board the U.S.S. John F. Kennedy. The aircraft carrier was undergoing refitting in the Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Portsmouth, Virginia, when he made plans to go visit a friend in Norfolk. He hopped in his Chevy Vega and started down the road. Not five minutes into the trip, he noticed that an oncoming car traveling at high speeds wasn’t slowing down prior to the intersection. The hairs on the back of Miller’s neck stood on end as he quickly braced himself for the inevitable. “I could see that the other driver wasn’t going to stop for the blinking red light and sure enough, she slammed into me, spinning my car so hard that it was turned in the opposite direction,” recalls Miller, who amazingly sustained no injuries. The same could not be said for his Chevy Vega, which was totaled. After filling out the police report, Miller accompanied the tow truck driver to a local body shop.
“I got a good look at the gun and immediately handed over everything I had,” Miller says. That included his Quartz watch, his keys to the ship’s pharmacy, a master key to all medical spaces on the U.S.S. John F. Kennedy and his wallet, which had cash, his driver’s license, credit cards and military ID. Being wiped clean of all forms of identification proved to be Miller’s third disaster of the night as he had to find a way to prove he was the ship’s pharmacist, not a Soviet spy, to gain access to the ship. (Ultimately, his Division Officer personally identified and cleared him.) “It was tricky because we were to be deployed to the Mediterranean in the next few days, and I had a lot of loose ends to tie up with the car and my identification prior to leaving,” Miller says. “Boy, that was a long night followed by a trying few days.” Though Miller was single at the time, his wife of 33 years loves to have him recall the story for those who have never heard it. “Honestly, my favorite time to share the details of that night is when I’m sitting with people who are complaining about what a rough day they’ve had,” Miller says. “I tell them, ‘Hey, I understand, but believe me, it could be worse.’”
“The driver was lowering the car down off the wrecker when suddenly two young masked men in their mid-20s ambushed us,” Miller says. “They hollered, ‘Get down on the ground!’ and then proceeded to clean out our pockets.”
Once they hear Miller’s wild and crazy tale, they tend to agree. Nevertheless, Miller recognizes that although that night was one of the worst days of his life, it was also one of the luckiest.
Neither Miller nor the tow truck driver resisted when they saw one of the men was aiming a 38-special revolver at their faces.
“I’m lucky to be alive because I could have been killed twice in a matter of two hours,” Miller says. “After that fateful October evening, all subsequent reunions have felt sweeter.”

Austin Buckley runs such a popular NBA YouTube channel, he has amassed a staggering 164,000 subscribers. Buckley, known for his CSB channel’s content, has garnered a large following for his series of NBA 2K “Let’s Play” videos. He gives advice on how to build a better team. Buckley started his YouTube Channel on Nov. 6, 2013. “I knew a lot of people that were playing the same NBA video games that I was,” Buckley says. “I wanted to make my videos to entertain people, and it just got bigger and bigger.” Buckley, a 2017 Fishers High School graduate, has also amassed more than 10,000 followers to his CSB-YT Twitch Channel. The new NBA 2K17, similar to the previous games in the series, is based on NBA basketball games, and more specifically, it stimulates the experience of the NBA.
“I love making my videos where fans of the NBA 2K games can see what I have to say,” Buckley says. “It’s not stressful. It’s laid back and a lot of fun.” After he makes the videos, he doesn’t watch them again. “When I’m making them, I just want them to be entertaining,” Buckley says. “After they are out there for people to enjoy, I don’t want to look at them anymore.” Austin will be attending Ball State University in the fall and plans to keep making new videos. “We think he’s cool,” says his mother, Kay Buckley. “We were at a mall in Philadelphia, and he met fans who wanted to get their pictures taken with him. He also has fans from far away as Australia and New Zealand.” Austin already has some new ideas in mind for the upcoming NBA season. “With the way games are always changing every season, it keeps things fresh,” Austin says. “The games are always changing, and I can keep changing my advice on how to 46 / GEIST MAGAZINE / OCTOBER 2017 / atGeist.com
build a better team.” Austin has pondered a future in computers or video production. “It’s something I have definitely thought about, but I also want to keep other things open in case I decide to go into something else,” he adds. He also hopes to keep accumulating more subscribers. “I think it’s possible. A lot of people have really been responding to my advice, and I think people enjoy getting advice on making their teams better,” Buckley says. Bill Whitney, Carmel, says he plans on becoming a subscriber to Austin’s “Let’s Play” videos. “He’s entertaining, informative and funny,” Whitney says. “He makes me laugh, which isn’t an easy thing to do, and he gives good advice that’s valuable. I love NBA 2K17, and his videos are a great companion piece to the games. He’s made a big fan out of me, and I plan on telling other people to subscribe to his channel.”

GHOST TALES KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THESE HAMILTON COUNTY GHOSTS AS HALLOWEEN DRAWS NEAR
Writer / Matt Keating Photographers / Amy Payne & Brian Brosmer
When it comes to ghost legends, Hamilton County has its fair share of them. To get you in the Halloween spirit, here are some ghost tales to keep you on the lookout for spirited characters. THE SALTY GHOST If you are ever at The Salty Cowboy, 55 East Oak Street, Zionsville, enjoying a delicious burrito or some tasty nachos, keep an eye out for Hazel the Ghost.
the wind (drunk). Hughes says The Salty Dog’s owner, Shari Jenkins, has been told that the 2,200 square foot frame house’s previous owner would be bothered by the front door opening at midnight, which would activate a burglar alarm. The police would arrive shortly after. After The Salty Dog opened, Hughes says Jenkins noticed the front door would sometimes be left open when she would at arrive at the restaurant the next day. THE PIANO GHOST
The Salty Dog isn’t the only spooky During a previous feature interview about location in Hamilton County. There’s the restaurant, Jason Hughes, general also The Ivy House Bed & Breakfast, manager of The Salty Cowboy, said there 304 N. Merrill Street, Fortville. The cozy have been stories of a ghost named Hazel, establishment was built in 1921 by Dr. a former resident of the property. It seems Jess E. Ferrell, and came complete with Hazel enjoyed sneaking out her front an antique piano with a ghost who makes door in the evenings, but would wind up banging noises and loud footsteps. in the pokey for taking a stroll around Zionsville while she was three sheets to “We would hear him in the piano from atGeist.com / OCTOBER 2017 / GEIST MAGAZINE / 49
another room,” says Linda Nolte, co-owner of The Ivy House. “We would walk into the room where the piano was, and no would be there.” Linda noted that her daughter would hear it more often. “Sometimes I would be doing something else, and just not feel like going to look at that piano again,” Linda laughed. “I had other things to do.” GHOST JANITOR Woody’s Restaurant, 40 E. Main Street, Carmel, supposedly has the ghost of a janitor named Isaac Bales. Bales worked for the former Carmel Library in the early part of the 1900s. “I’ve never seen him. He’s never manifested himself to me,” said Kevin “Woody” Rider, owner of Woody’s Restaurant “Some of the girls who work here are afraid to go upstairs at night. They are afraid they see him.”
WEEPING GHOST In Ronald L. Baker’s “Hoosier Folk Legends,” he writes about a man named Elmer Myers, who told a ghost story that took place in 1890. It happened “on State Road 13, about four miles south of the county seat of Hamilton County is a place then called Ghost Hollow.” Baker wrote about how “one night when he (Elmer) was riding through this hollow on horseback, all of a sudden the horse stopped and refused to go another step. On looking down beside the horse’s head, he saw the firm of a woman clothed in a white robe weeping and drying her eyes with a white handkerchief. He asked her what was wrong – no response. “He then reached forward, while still mounted on the horse, to take hold of the woman’s arm, but she disappeared in the darkness. He then gave the horse the command to go forward. But before he passed through the hollow, the same thing occurred for the second time. She again disappeared.” HEADY HOLLOW According to The Legend of Heady Hollow, the ghosts of children have been seen some evenings near Heady Lane Cemetery at Heady Hollow. It’s where Allisonville Road intersects at 126th Street. The Heady Lane cemetery has been around since the early part of the 19th century, according to Hamilton County Historical Society records. One legend that is told at Connor Prairie during Halloween recounts a tale of a ghost of a grave robber. One night while digging, he discovered his own son’s body, according to the legend. The frightened gravedigger supposedly haunts some woods near the cemetery. HE DIDN’T TELL ME TO STOP THE PRESSES And now for my story. During my four years as a writer/ business editor for the Noblesville Ledger in the 1990s, I would have to work a lot of late nights. The Ledger, which is now gone, was located just around the corner from The Noblesville courthouse. One dark, late night in October 1993, my co -worker, Anne, and I both saw the ghost of a friendly elderly man smiling at us near the door into our office. We saw him at the same time, but he said nothing. One minute he was there, and then he was gone. I never saw him again, but I’ll never forget him. Do you have a ghost story of your own? Be sure to share them with us on Facebook as we get closer to Halloween. 50 / GEIST MAGAZINE / OCTOBER 2017 / atGeist.com

A STEP FORWARD IU HEALTH SAXONY SEEKS TO IMPROVE KNEE REPLACEMENT OUTCOMES WITH NEW GAIT LABORATORY Writer / Jon Shoulders
Dr. R. Michael Meneghini, director of orthopedics and joint replacement at IU Health Saxony Hospital in Fishers, says the completion of the hospital’s new Kinematics Gait Laboratory represents a substantial step in the right direction toward improving the quality and effectiveness of knee replacement surgery – not only for local patients, but also throughout the world. “Kinematics is a fancy word for how the knee moves, and its normal and abnormal motions,” Meneghini says. “We’re going to watch people walk, and how their gait and their walking patterns change before and after knee replacements.”
minimize that amount.” IU Health Saxony is currently in the final stages of obtaining institutional review board approval for the Gait Laboratory, which will allow lab physicians to enlist patients for participation and collect their data. Patients interested in contributing can expect to spend 15-20 minutes in the lab during their preoperative appointment and additional 15-20 minute sessions during one or two postoperative visits. Meneghini says it will likely take several years of data collection and analysis to yield significant research results.
“Our goal here is to correlate the preoperative kinematic patterns of patients Meneghini and his colleagues will observe to what we do with surgery, and then patients’ pre- and postoperative movement finally to ask patients how they feel about in the lab via treadmill and leg sensors their knee replacement and correlate all and gather data each step of the way with those together,” he says. “This will be the goal of better approximating normal, pioneering and innovative research and natural gait after surgery through improved hopefully movement forward that we can implants and surgical techniques. then tell other orthopedic surgeons what we’ve learned and make things better for patients across the globe. We take a lot of “The working hypothesis is to look at the implant types, the alignment of the knee and pride in knowing that hopefully we’re one of the innovative entities that helps bring the way we put the implants in, and see if patients from all over the world to Fishers.” we can change or modify those parameters of knee replacement to better suit the Since opening its doors in 2011, IU Health individual patient,” Meneghini explains. “If Saxony’s staff has published in several you and I were walking down the street we would have different gait patterns potentially, medical journals on research areas like and we may need our knee replacements put blood conservation in knee replacement, how surgical approaches affect patient in just a little bit different.” outcomes and surgery complications.

CONNECT FORTVILLE B U I L D I N G PAT H WAY S F O R G R O W T H
Writer / Suzanne Huntzinger Photos provided by Madison County Council of Governments
It’s a sleepy, little town, not much traffic, not much population, not many restaurants or shops. That’s what people used to say about Fishers and McCordsville. Some are still saying it about Fortville. But that’s about to change, and plans are in the works to make that happen. Natives of our northeast corner of Indy have long been familiar with the explosive growth that happened near I-69 around the 96th street and 116th street interchanges. Growth skyrocketed quickly, traffic became congested and soon residents were in a
constant logjam. City planners have been racing to alleviate the congestion ever since with new roundabouts and the new 106th street exit. In short, the population grew too fast for the roads and infrastructure to catch up. Now as we near a new decade, good old urban sprawl is extending its reach again. Urban planners are preparing to usher in this new era of growth, this time, in the Fortville area. What once seemed so far away for many is now quickly becoming a hot spot for many locals. With new hangouts in Fortville like Taxman Brewing, FoxGardin, Indulge Ice Cream Parlor and Café, Java Junction, 58 / GEIST MAGAZINE / OCTOBER 2017 / atGeist.com
Lincoln Square Pancake House and Sunrise Bakery, the Fortville town square is hopping. By now, you’d be hard pressed to find anyone who doesn’t know of Elite Beverages, aka the big pink elephant, ushering drivers along highway 67 and into Fortville. So, city planners analyzed population projections for the next 15 to 20 years. What they found was surprising. “The population in Fortville is expected to rise by at least 50 percent by the year 2040,” says Adam Zaklikowsi, Planning Administrator for the Town of Fortville. That puts the town on track for growth that’s two to three times the national average. It
seems inevitable that Fortville will quickly become part of the greater metropolitan Indianapolis area. Adding urgency to the need for implementing a plan of action was the inquiries by developers. Each week, the town of Fortville fielded calls by developers asking about future plans. That’s when the town of Fortville along with the Madison County Council of Governments formed the seven member Connect Fortville committee. “We want to learn from the massive population growth in Fishers and prevent the negative community impacts that come with it in Fortville,” says Senior
Transportation Planner, Ryan Phelps. “We want to get ahead of it and manage it.” The Connect Fortville plan is a proposed long-range thoroughfare plan that provides for the creation, expansion and improvement of the transportation network, including roads, as well as bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure. The town of Fortville is expecting development of neighborhoods, restaurants, shopping centers, schools and more. Architecture, engineering, planning and development giant American Structurepoint is already working with the town to make plans for the development of the area beyond Fortville’s town square. atGeist.com / OCTOBER 2017 / GEIST MAGAZINE / 59
Although that development is at the heart of Fortville’s growth, Connect Fortville’s role focuses strictly on proposing a transportation plan. To create that plan, the committee held workshops soliciting input. Input came not only from the committee but from residents and businesses. For one of the workshops, the committee engaged the Mount Vernon High School AP Social Studies students as part of a discussion on civic responsibility. The proposal calls for adding new roads leading from the major thoroughfares (what the committee calls arterial roads) in and out of the town and widening and improving the existing ones, which carry commuters from the artery roads (what
the committee calls collector roads) and adding roads for neighborhoods (what the committee calls local roads). Residents can expect convenient access through town via modern roundabouts and modern roadways with wide streets featuring beautifully landscaped medians and modern lighting. Retail areas like in the downtown area will have plenty of parking available, sidewalks and paths. The committee is also exploring the integration of bike lanes and a multi-use trail for walkers, runners and bikers. All improvements to the town square area are expected to be done in accordance with preserving its historical character. The Connect Fortville committee is hoping to have their plan approved and adopted in October. To check out the future of transportation access and get the latest updates on plans and developments in the area, go to the Town of Fortville’s Facebook page.

PRIMROSE SCHOOL OF GEIST 7615 Oaklandon Rd. Indianapolis, IN 46236 317-855-7808 PrimroseGeist.com
PRIMROSE SCHOOL OF GEIST OPENING SOON Anita and Harrison Boyd are the franchise owners of Primrose School of Geist.
Writer / Janet Striebel Photographer / Brian Brosmer
The Primrose School of Geist is scheduled to open this winter. For more than 30 years, Primrose Schools have been making a difference in the lives of children, not only for those enrolled in the fun-filled curriculums (six weeks to pre-school age) but also for those served through the notfor-profit organizations they support locally and nationally.
Meet Anita and Harrison Boyd, franchise owners of Primrose School of Geist and proud parents of 2-year old son, Connor, and newborn daughter, Savannah. Both Anita and Harrison admired the quality of care and warmth they witnessed at Primrose back in 2014, when they began searching for childcare even before Connor was born. “We fell in love with the culture, values and beliefs of Primrose,” Anita says. “Everything is so well thought out in the program, 62 / GEIST MAGAZINE / OCTOBER 2017 / atGeist.com
down to the toys. Everything they do is intentional, and the little things build to create this overall picture of an ideal curricular path for child development.” The Boyds are thrilled to open a Primrose school in Anita’s hometown of Indianapolis. After growing up in Lawrence and attending Lawrence North High School, Anita received her undergraduate degree at Indiana University in Bloomington before moving
to Atlanta where she earned her doctorate in physical therapy from Emory University. Harrison grew up in Atlanta and graduated from Auburn University with a degree in architecture. Together, they met through a mutual friend in Atlanta, and their journey continues as they make their home in Geist. “I feel like it’s God’s plan to bring me and my family back to where I was raised,” Anita says. The new Primrose school located at 7615 Oaklandon Road, is only one mile from where she grew up. Known for its proprietary balanced learning approach, Primrose engages children with purposeful play and nurturing teacher-guidance while emphasizing character development.
the same trusting relationship we had as Primrose parents with the families in our community.”
Suites, located at 9165 Otis Avenue. Or visit, My Gym, located at 10290 E. 96th St. on October 15 from 3-5 p.m. The kids can play and have fun while you meet Anita and Harrison to learn more about Primrose.
Anita and Harrison welcome you to the Primrose family. Upcoming parent meetings (October 10 at 6:30 p.m. and October 22 Visit primrosegeist.com for more at 4:30 p.m.) will be held at Yeager Office information or call 317-855-7808.
FACT:
Our proprietary Balanced Learning® curriculum emphasizes creative, social, emotional, physical, cognitive and character development.
“We look at the whole child, in terms of growth and their needs emotionally, socially, physically and cognitively,” Anita says. “We believe who children become is as important as what they know.” Obviously, the Primrose methodology is working as it continues to spread with more than 350 schools nationwide. In fact, 90 percent of Primrose students perform at about twice the level of their peers, according to the results from a thirdparty survey conducted by Unifocus from 2009-2011. Primrose offers before and afterschool programs up to 12 years old. A Primrose bus will offer transportation for older siblings making it more convenient for parents. “As working parents, we’re excited to provide Indianapolis children and families with premier childcare and early education that parents can trust,” Harrison says. “We love this community and hope to build

DANIELS VINEYARD & WINERY TO HOST “WAGS TO WITCHES” DOG EVENT OCT. 7
The Dog days of summer were a big hit this year at the new Daniels Vineyard and Winery, which opened in April of this year at 9601 Carroll road. The “Doggy Day” began as a “pour it forward” event where the public was invited to bring their pets to the winery with a $5 donation that will go to the Hamilton County Humane society. There was food and wine to enjoy as well as some auction items, all benefitting the humane society. The “Sip, Bark, Repeat “event raised more than $3,000 in entrance donations in just the first two Saturdays it was held so, they knew they were onto a good idea. “It was going so well that Winzer the vineyard dog talked us into having the event very month,” jokes Jessica Pontius of Daniels Vineyard. “We hope to see more and more pups come out for future Doggy Days.”

“Doggy Days” are now planned for the first Saturday of every month. There’s a $5 entry fee and usually a silent auction full of fun items for the pets and their owners to enjoy. Daniels also plans to partner with more local rescues and clinics in the surrounding areas and continue to raise funds for the animals. On October 7, they will partner with the Indy Humane Society and will be hosting a “Wags to Witches” event complete with a costume contest, prizes, live music and more. “What’s better than wine slushies and puppies,” Jessica says. “We like to say come out and smooch your pooch the first Saturday of each mont.” Daniels Vineyard also recently held its first Annual Car Show on the grounds in September with prizes awarded to top rated cars and proceeds going to the Tony Stewart Foundation.
