Vines for Life Expands | Tom Britt This year’s fourth annual Vines for Life Tasting Event promises to be the largest fundraiser to date. Benefiting three local cancer charities, this year’s wine and craft beer tasting has added a craft liquor tasting and moved to The Hawthorns Golf & Country Club.

“We simply outgrew the Indianapolis Yacht Club,” said co-founder Jeanne Britt. “Over the last two years, we have reached capacity, and we needed a Geist-area venue to host a larger crowd.”

Organizers, including Ray Cox with Elite Beverages, have also added a craft liquor tasting this year to appeal to those that enjoy bourbons and whiskeys from small distilleries. Last year, craft beers were added and warmly received. Cox says that this will be the most diverse tasting to date. “Kentucky bourbons are big right now, and we plan on introducing some of the most popular, independently owned distilleries.”

What started as a southern Indiana wine tour aboard a chartered bus evolved into a sold-out 60+ wine tasting at the Indianapolis Yacht Club in 2010. So far, over $70,000 has been raised and split between Creating Hope, Indy SurviveOars and Team Luke.

For Creating Hope, moneys are used to purchase “Hope Kits” which consist of art supplies and instructions for patients undergoing chemotherapy. Similarly, Team Luke funds Rhythm Pax for cancer patients at Riley Hospital for Children. Indy SurviveOars uses their proceeds to fund their breast cancer survivor dragonboat racing team on Geist Reservoir.

More tickets are available this year, up from 250 to 350.

Pricing remains at $50 per person and includes all the tastings, heavy appetizers, live music by Bongo Boy Music, parking and live and silent auctions. Tickets are available online at VinesForLife.com on a first-come, firstserved basis.

Saving Geist

Reservoir lake lemon conservancy district may be the model for geist to follow

| Tom Britt . Photos | Photos by Carly Lyon Geist Reservoir is clearly showing the signs of age. While Eurasian milfoil, blue green algae and zebra mussels have been the topic of conversation in recent years, let’s not forget that the 70-year-old reservoir is slowly filling up with sediment. Passing the hat for ad hoc weed treatments will mask the problems for a while. What we need is a long-term plan and course of action that shares the responsibility of preserving the lake across all those that benefit from the lake.

Introducing Lake Lemon

Just south of Martinsville between Monroe and Brown Counties is another reservoir called Lake Lemon. Back in 1955, Lake Lemon was built to provide a water supply for the growing city of Bloomington. Lake lovers built homes, fished and launched boats into the water for recreation.

Then in the mid-1980s, the shorelines were eroding, and weeds started dominating the coves and waterways. With property values dropping, a small group of homeowners decided to form a conservancy district to save the lake. In 1995, the Lake Lemon Conservancy District was formed, encompassing 500 homes on and around Lake Lemon. Their first order of business was to hire a Lake Manager, Bob Madden from Fishers.

“My first year budget was $155,000,” said Madden during an interview at the Lake Lemon Conservancy District offices next to their public boat ramp. “I made a whopping $24,000 a year salary, and the rest was spent on weeds and shoreline erosion control.”

In the early years, the volunteer board of directors prioritized and tackled the lake’s biggest problems.

Homeowners started seeing results immediately and in turn started implementing best practices and erosion management plans of their own. Property values climbed.

Today the District has a $500,000 annual budget with ongoing weed management, a shoreline preservation plan and a mechanical dredging operation. Monthly board meetings are open to residents to find out the timelines on treatment schedules and capital improvement projects.

Collectively, the residents in the Lake Lemon Conservancy District are working together to solve any and all problems that arise on their shared natural resource.

Madden, who lived in Fishers until this summer, is very familiar with the issues we have been facing. “Geist reminds me a lot of Lake Lemon 19 years ago.”

Lake Lemon vs. Geist Reservoir

On the surface, Lake Lemon and Geist Reservoir are very similar in size, topography and purpose. Both are reservoirs built to provide water for nearby cities. They are roughly the same size (Geist is a little larger with 1,890 acres vs. 1,650 at Lake Lemon). Geist and Lake Lemon both have a yacht club, sailing club and a marina.

They even have a restaurant called the Porthole Bar & Grill. And yes, they are also battling Eurasian milfoil.

Madden and Van Tassel go over Lake Lemon treatment map plans with atGeist.com Publisher Tom Britt.

James Van Tassel, a lake biologist for the Lake Lemon Conservancy District, said Eurasian milfoil has been causing them problems in recent years. “You need some

weeds in the lake, but [Eurasian] milfoil tends to grow really deep and choke out some of the other native plants.”

boat launching fees, dock fees and annual boating permit fees.

Surprisingly, Lake Lemon has not seen any of the Zebra mussels yet. Launch workers have been very diligent to keep them out, in addition to signs posted at the ramp.

In the case of Lake Lemon, revenues are a 50/50 split between fees collected from the homeowners in the district and fees collected from the boaters and slip owners. Madden said each home is accessed 12 cents per $100 of assessed value on their home annually, which is $120 per $100,000 of home value. Everyone is sharing the burden, and everyone is sharing the benefit.

“Geist reminds me a lot of Lake Lemon 19 years ago.”

Demographically, the reservoirs are very different. According to the US Census Bureau, the average household income at Lake Lemon is $64,503 compared to $148,779 at Geist. Home values are also much higher at Geist, a whopping $365,814 compared to only $138,800 at Lake Lemon. And with only a few hundred waterfront homes, erosion control has been a major focus since the early days of the district. Lake Lemon’s 24 miles of shoreline is mostly rip rap instead of the concrete seawalls that line Geist Reservoir.

Last August, the Town of Fishers hosted a roundtable discussion with representatives from Citizens Energy, Department of Natural Resources, Indiana Department of Environmental Management, Town of Fishers, Geist Lake Coalition and several Geist area homeowners’ association representatives.

At the time, the focus was on the treatment plan for Geist in 2014 and getting the Aquatic Management Plan updated.

Subsequent to that, discussions have evolved to include the possibility of a conservation district at Geist.

forward without additional action.

We can work with our stakeholders – including Citizens (Energy), DNR, the City of Indianapolis, Geist Lake Coalition and Go to atGeist.com to watch the full interview residents – to restore with Bob Madden. the lake and apply for federal grants. Or, we can take the reservoir’s destiny into our own hands, and create a conservation district."

Geist resident Matt Troyer, partner with the law firm of Bingham Greenebaum Doll LLP, agrees. Troyer and his firm have already spent quite a bit of time and internal resources investigating the conservancy district option.

Based on his research, the earliest Geist Reservoir would see a conservancy district is the summer 2015.

“Until then, we have to control the weeds,” added Troyer.

“Residents still need to contribute to the Geist Lake Coalition for milfoil and algae treatments.”

According to Troyer’s preliminary work, the Geist Conservancy District could represent approximately 4,000 homes, more than eight times the size and more than double the assessed value of Lake Lemon’s constituents.

When quality matters.

Next Steps

Last month, the Geist Impoundment Fund voted to create a Request for Qualifications to solicit bids from consultants that specialize in turning back the hands of time on reservoirs.

Fadness explained the committee’s reasoning: “Until we know the problem and how much it will cost to fix it, we can’t get our hands around it.” This plan will detail the current conditions of the lake and also address the total capital cost to restore Geist to its younger glory.

Madden agrees with this tactic. “You first need a plan. You need to hire people that know this business to tell you where you are now and where you need to be. Then you need the infrastructure that can implement that plan.”

Madden offers one piece of advice, “You had better create a conservancy district if you want to ultimately save your lake.”

GEIST HALF MARATHON ANNOUNCES MAJOR CHANGES FOR THE 2014 RACE Call it the seven year itch, but the St. Vincent Geist Half Marathon & 5K is making some major changes for this year’s “Race around the Reservoir” on May 17.

Fresh on the heels of last May’s race, organizers reconvened in August with survey responses from participants, volunteers and sponsors. After a board of directors restructuring, a new committee was formed called “Customer Experience” under the direction of board member and former Disney/Amazon executive Tim Rauschenbach.

“Our committee’s goal is to ensure that our event ‘wows’ our participants during each interaction leading up to, during and even after our event,” said Rauschenbach.

After a realignment of duties by the all-volunteer board of directors, a renaissance occurred. “Nothing was off the table,” said Geist Half Marathon President Matt Troyer. “We looked at the entire participant experience, the course, registration, entertainment and refreshments.”

The result: A new and improved St. Vincent Geist Half Marathon & 5K.

New Course

Perhaps the biggest change to this year’s race is the course changes for both the 13.1 mile and 5K race. Both the half marathon and 5K races will start at the same time on the Olio Road Bridge over Geist Reservoir. Runners will be divided by the median on Olio.

When they reach 104th Street, 5K runners will go east and cut back 16

geist C O M M U N I T Y

Geist_January_2014.indd 16

through the Weatherstone/Canal Place neighborhoods while the half marathon runners will continue west through Cambridge as in previous years. “We feel that having both races start at the same time will add even more excitement to the festivities,” added Troyer.

While the first 3 1/2 miles of the half marathon is the same as past years, participants will now go north on Brooks School Road and run through the Hawthorns and Masthead II returning on Fall Creek Road back through Cambridge to the southeast parking lot at 116th and Olio Road near the start line.

Troyer explains that this adjustment streamlines the race for participants and volunteers alike. “With an out-andback course, we eliminate the need for shuttles to transport runners and spectators. Everyone can park at the schools and churches to the north and walk to and from the start/finish line.

But probably the biggest perk of ending the race where we start is the ability to host a bigger post-race party.”

At the time of writing, the course is being USTAF sanctioned and measured, so the exact finish line and water stop locations are not yet known.

Rauschenbach assures participants that the course will be more entertaining and lively than years past. “We heard in our surveys that people enjoyed our bands, drumlines and cheerleading corps along the way. We’re going to take that to a whole new level this year.”

Packet Pick-Up

In years past, Hamilton Southeastern High School has been the host of

packet pick-up on the Friday night before the race. This year, St. Vincent Fishers Hospital plans to play host to a day-long packet pickup in their recently opened facility just north of the start line. With expanded hours, seminars throughout the day and a fully staffed cafeteria, St. Vincent Fishers is anxious to showcase their facilities and sports performance professionals. On race day, packet pickup will be conveniently located at the start/finish line in the southeast parking lot near 116th and Olio Road (Casler’s Kitchen & Bar).

Fundraiser

Most schools in the area will be kicking off their spring training programs in February or April, funded from proceeds donated by the Geist Half Marathon. With this year’s contribution of $60,000 ($30,000 to Hamilton Southeastern School Foundation and $30,000 to Lawrence Township School Foundation), the Geist Half Marathon has now raised over $300,000 for Geist area schools in just six years.

7 Year Club

Organizers are looking for runners or walkers who have competed in all six of the previous races and plan to make the May 17th race their seventh. When registering, please checkmark the “7 Year Club” box, so that your participation can be verified. Once it is confirmed, you will be contacted about a special event being planned for the week of the race.

Register

To register for this year’s race, visit GeistHalf.com. Price is $60 for the half marathon and $30 for the 5K through the end of February.

| Debra Legg | Photos by Brian Brosmer For Casey Kenley, the epiphany began as she waddled through a trail run, eight months pregnant with her second child.

Team Film Focuses on Fun, Activity & Relationships 20

geist C O M M U N I T Y

Geist_January_2014.indd 20

She spotted a group of women coming toward her, laughing and chatting as they ran. “I knew one of them, and I thought it would be awesome to have a group like that. They were having so much fun.�

A few months later, after giving birth, Kenley connected with the women and began running with them regularly.

A few years later, the nucleus of the 12-woman group that was to become Team Film had formed. What started out as friends getting together to train has grown into a group that organizes events and raises money to help community organizations.

12/23/2013 2:50:21 PM

The group is about running — and biking, swimming and just about any other active pursuit — but, most important, it’s about making that connection Kenley had longed for that day during her run.

The group includes marathoners, bikers, hikers and even walkers. “Five miles is a great distance for me, and no one cares,” says Maria Harper, who’s building up her distance after a coronary last summer. “We don’t exclude anybody.”

There are women for whom running has “It’s not about just feeling been a lifelong passion — four members were cross-country teammates great about getting a at Carmel High School when they were good run in. It’s about teens. Others, however, became active being with women who later in life.

“I didn’t know people did things like that. I thought Most of all, Team Film wants to encourage other women to marathons were it,” she says. “Knowing that Casey had “enjoy and embrace the moment through physical activity,” done it put that little seed in my brain.” says member Kristy Busack, who’s been with the group for Busack tried a triathlon, with coaching help from one of the three or four years. group’s strong swimmers. “I’ve learned to step out of my The group also wants others to know what they do: that you comfort zone, to take a chance.” can seriously challenge yourself and have serious fun at the Oftentimes, the adventure becomes an integral part of the same time. “We’re not just a brand. We’re a lifestyle,” activity. That was the case with last fall’s 200-mile Bourbon Kenley says.

Members selected a Hendrix-centric theme. cinematic theme, complete with a red carpet, director, starlets and blaring music. The runners shed their ball gowns in the woods, then took off on the trails.

“We commiserate. We laugh.

Sometimes women don’t take the time to do that with other women,” Kenley says. “We need permission to do that, because nurturing relationships with other women is important.”

They didn’t win based on times, though they did take honors for presentation. “We’re not the fastest, but we have the most fun,” Kenley says.

The group tried other names but kept coming back to Team Film, in part because of the deeper question the runners keep in mind.

“If you were to take a movie clip of your life, right now, today, would you be proud of the life you’re living?” Busack asked.

The types of physical activity the team undertakes vary widely. Sometimes, it’s as simple as the Family Rake the Leaves Day the team held as a challenge in the fall, with participants posting images on social media. Or members might support others during 50-mile runs. Or they might caravan to Florida for spring break, with seven families sharing a house and a week of fun at the beach.

“You run through the night, and you really get slaphappy,” Faust says. “You don’t sleep much, and you don’t sleep well.”

Like most everything involving Team Film, the business end evolved. At first members kept in touch via email and texting. Next came the Facebook page, /Goteamfilm. The website — goteamfilm.com — will be complete in January.

The local members of Team Film — three live out of state — meet at least weekly for runs and socializing. The lengths of the runs vary, depending on members’ training schedules, needs and time, they said. Everyone doesn’t finish at the same time, though they meet up afterward, sometimes lingering for hours.

“What’s really at the core for me is the connections. It’s harder when you’re an adult to make those great connections that you could when you were younger,” Faust says.

Busack agrees. “It’s not about just feeling great about getting a good run in. It’s about being with women who are going through the same life stages I am.”

Team Film even has a clothing line for "crew members," supportive husbands or significant others.

A SPECIAL 8 (OR 56) YEARS WORKING TOGETHER

| Janet C. Striebel Do you remember back in July 2012 when Fortville Police Officer Matt Fox was shot nine times from point blank range and still survived? Perhaps you saw the YouTube video or the news coverage showing how the previously convicted felon, James Lockhart III, got out of his car and suddenly started shooting at Matt as seen on the surveillance camera planted within Matt’s police car.

Eventually the shooter was killed moments later after exchanging fire with Marion County officers. This rampage started when Lockhart fled the scene after Matt pulled him over for a missing tail light. Obviously, Matt and his family and friends will never forget this horrific event. Yet there is one four-legged connection to Matt that witnessed the entire episode in the back seat that night — Lannie (pronounced Lane-ee), the police dog who continues to look after him day after day.

“Matt has a good relationship with his canine,” says Lieutenant Patrick Bratton, Public Information Officer with Fortville Police Department. “Matt has regularly used Lannie as a deterrent to youth bringing narcotics to school.”

Lannie has done her share of sniffing lockers, book bags, rooms, buildings and cars to keep drugs off the streets.

From early morning infomercials to clever email subject lines, our health and fitness lenses are saturated with confusing and misleading information.

With looming New Year resolutions, the task of choosing an exercise regimen is often daunting. Every person is different, and every person requires a different exercise prescription. While your options are plentiful, there are options backed by research, and these proven exercise prescriptions are offered in your community.

NEWSLETTER | JANUARY 2014

12/23/2013 2:50:49 PM

One of these options is called Suspension Training, an effective and efficient blend of movement made popular by the TRX Suspension Trainer. When you hear “suspension training," you may imagine gymnastic rings and leaping through suspended flaming hoops. However, the versatility of TRX Suspension Training is unmatched, and its ability to adapt to any fitness level is inspiring.

Simply put, TRX Suspension Training involves two anchored straps with handles on the end of each, allowing the user to leverage gravity and his or her body to perform a plethora of bodyweight exercises. The versatility of the TRX Suspension Trainer lies in your ability to control the difficulty and effectiveness of each exercise by simply changing your position in relation to the anchor point.

Jimmy Girot leads Trudy Shelley and Chris Papandria through some TRX exercises.

Whether you’re already in great shape or you are just beginning your path to fitness, TRX Suspension Training will effectively and safely address your physical needs. Training with the TRX Suspension Trainer is fun, sustainable and offers a training philosophy with measurable results.

Although TRX Suspension Training was founded by a Navy Seal and is used by hundreds of notable professional athletes, perhaps its most successful market is within physical rehabilitation. Furthermore, general population users and baby boomers across the nation have harnessed the safe versatility of TRX Suspension Training.

This ground-breaking fitness tool is often the center of large group exercise classes, classes that are undoubtedly fun and effective. While these large group exercise classes may be a great option for some, you may desire a more private setting in which you

receive professional instruction.

At Geist Fitness, the TRX Suspension Training sessions are limited to four users. These small group training sessions, which include fitness levels from knee replacement patients to competitive golfers, are specificallydesigned by certified personal trainers with Exercise Science degrees. The focus of a personal training session at the price of a group exercise class, the value and effectiveness of this TRX Suspension Training experience is unmatched.

If you’re ready to start a fitness journey in 2014, consider what the experts are using and calling The Future of Fitness, TRX Suspension Training.

A certified and degreed Personal Trainer at Geist Fitness, Jimmy Girot specializes in both private and small group exercise prescription for special populations and baby boomers.

Bob Kevoian just might be Lawrence’s most famous resident. When he’s not zinging one-liners and laughing infectiously as co-creator of nationally syndicated The Bob & Tom Show, the 63-year-old radio personality retreats to a private, wooded compound complete with a small lake and tiny fishing cabin. “Lawrence is our home, and we love being here,” he said during an interview at the comfortable, sprawling house.

When your voice, jokes and comedy songs are heard on 130 radio stations across the U.S., you’re pretty much a radio rock star. But, forget pretense. Bob is as down to earth as they come (and a huge Beatles fan.) If his life were a song, it might well be the Fab Four’s oxymoronically titled, “Act Naturally.”

He’s earned a very comfortable living just being, well, Bob. “HERE, THERE AND EVERYWHERE” [REVOLVER, 1966] That’s not to say Bob is some kind of introverted slap. This is a guy who plays golf with Johnny Bench and calls Vince Gill a good friend. However, he likely never imagined such celebrity while growing up in the Los Angeles suburb of Norwalk. Music was his thing including work as a performer and sound engineer for The Young Americans, a song and dance group funded initially by Rod Serling of all

people. Eventually Bob turned to radio and found his way to Petoskey, Michigan.

“COME TOGETHER” [ABBEY ROAD, 1969] In 1980, Bob was tending nighttime bar (after his on-air job) when a guy walked in, following a J. Geils Band concert. Tom Griswold ordered a drink and told Bob he’d just left a Florida radio station. Bob invited Tom to visit the studio the next day, and that afternoon, the station manager hired Tom as program director. Bob did afternoons, Tom the evening shift, and they starting sharing comedy bits on each other’s shows. They clicked, and the fledgling duo joined forces to do a morning show across town.

Bob & Tom was born.

“GOOD MORNING GOOD MORNING” [SGT. PEPPER’S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND, 1967] To say they were a hit is an understatement. WJML pulled a 44 share in the morning (that’s a lot.)

“Competing stations were sending out tapes of us to get us out of the market,” said Bob. In 1983, WFBQ in Indy took the bait and hired them as its morning team. “It was slow going at first. Then it kept growing. It was just something that happened. It was magic,” Bob recalled.

At the time, WNAP and WIFE were faltering in the ratings. There was

blood in the water, and B&T hit like a 58,000 watt shark. The NFL Colts had also just arrived, vaulting Indy into the national consciousness. “The Colts training facility was just down the road from the radio station, and Jim Irsay was a big rock and roll nut. He found the station, and we got players on the air – it helped out a great deal,” Bob offered. In short order, they owned Indy’s airwaves.

“MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR” [MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR, 1967] Bob said Tom is a good pal with whom he infrequently has minor disagreements. Their humorous bits have long defined the show, and the duo learned early on to create comedy bits separately. “It makes for genuine humor when jokes are heard on-air for the first time,” Bob said. And they quickly learned that a good, hearty laugh sells stuff. Indeed. ‘Bob Kevoian’ and ‘hearty laugh’ are interchangeable terms – a source of delight for listeners (and to some, a distraction).

What’s their secret sauce? Bob said the show has no agenda other than to make listeners, and each other, laugh, adding that it’s humor frequently inspired by everyday experiences. “Honesty has a great deal to do with our success,” noted Bob. “We have eight divorces (among our cast). We’ve shared our lives and families with our listeners.”

Bob and wife, Becky, sharing a laugh.

[Becky actually coaxed Bob into removing his Dodgers cap for their wedding.]

“THINGS WE SAID TODAY” [A HARD DAY’S NIGHT, 1964] Longtime listeners (even first time callers) know that B&T humor often creeps into the T&A zone. But cultural standards have loosened, and the radio show is now rarely criticized publicly.

That wasn’t always the case. “John Price made us famous,” Bob said of the show’s longtime critic and FCC petition filer. “He didn’t understand the more you go after something, the more it attracts attention.”

“TICKET TO RIDE” [HELP!, 1965] As ratings continued to climb, Bob and Tom were offered opportunities to take the show to Los Angeles and other large markets. Three primary considerations kept them here: Bigger isn’t always better; they didn’t want to uproot their families; and “Tom and I had a policy that we wouldn’t break a contract,” Bob said. To grow meant syndicating the show, something they could easily do from Indy. Starting with morning slots in Evansville and Fort Wayne, they’re now heard nationwide.

Geist_January_2014.indd 34

“GOT TO GET YOU INTO MY LIFE” [REVOLVER, 1966] In 2005, Bob married Illinois native Becky Martin. Becky performs with The Fun Girls musical trio and is a professional studio singer and voice talent. She and Bob love it when people say hello in restaurants or stores, but the couple doesn’t go out of its way to be noticed. In fact, Becky is happiest sharing time at the family compound (her sister lives in a house next door). Spend five minutes with Becky, and you begin to understand how she’s the yin to Bob’s yang (cue the George Harrison sitar music.)

Example? Becky coaxed Bob into removing his ever-present Dodgers baseball cap for their wedding.

“A DAY IN THE LIFE” [SGT. PEPPER’S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND, 1967] Off the air, Bob leads a relatively quiet life. He and Becky have an unwritten (and likely exaggerated) rule not to be away from home for more than three hours. “This is our place to be, our sanctuary,” he smiled contentedly. A self-proclaimed ‘cocoon guy,’ Bob spends his days reading news online, prepping

for the next day’s show. Then it’s dinner, followed by TV time. Favorite shows include Mad Men, House of Cards and Downton Abbey.

“ALL MY LOVING” [WITH THE BEATLES, 1963] When asked about living in Lawrence, Bob declared that he and Becky “are lucky to be here.” They like the location, and Bob said it’s changed a great deal – for the better. “Pendleton Pike has been cleaned up quite a bit.

The Fort is beautiful. We know the business owners, the good folks around here. I’ve always liked this area. We found our little slice of heaven, and Lawrence happens to be it,” he smiled.

“WHEN I’M SIXTY-FOUR” [SGT. PEPPER’S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND, 1967] Next year, Bob turns 64. He said his health is fine, though he feels an ache here and there. He still smokes but keeps trying to quit. And he doesn’t play as much golf anymore. Still, for any would-be challengers, be advised: there was no talk of retirement. “The Taxman” (Revolver, 1966) is probably to blame.

barre bee fit Stronger | Smarter | Grittier

| Kathi Moore Classical ballet class? Uh, no. Cardio?

Well, sort of. Challenging? You bet!

This is Barre Bee Fit, located near 121st and Hoosier Road, a mix of barre exercises from ballet, cardio and of course high-tempo music to keep you motivated. The lights are dim, so you can’t concentrate too much on the bodies other than your own, and that is good because there is choreography that changes weekly to concentrate on instead.

The studio is a Chicago-based franchise that opened here in June. A year or so ago, local owner Danielle Dixon-Hacker had had enough of selling elevators to rude contractors and property managers. She was also teaching fitness part-time, so she began looking for a fitness company to buy into, trying out 12-15 different methods in classes from Cincinnati to Chicago.

“Every [workout] method I tried, I still ‘looked pretty’ at the end; the class was missing something that was challenging,” she commented. That is until she was introduced by a Chicago friend to the Barre Bee Fit method. She felt their unique cardio addition to traditional barre exercises burns more calories and gives a more comprehensive workout. She quickly signed up and became the first franchisee.

“The routines are difficult, keeping both your mind and body challenged,” said Danielle. “People often surprise themselves at what they can do, and we love to be inspiring and motivational.”

The high intensity classes are filled with stamina-building exercises for fast results that you can see.

Daniell teaches most of the classes, with routines that change weekly.

Affordable!

The tagline ‘Live by the barre code’ is used often, including on their licensed merchandise, highlighting the importance of making health and fitness a part of everyday life. Barre Bee Fit has a variety of group classes for strength, conditioning and restoration. Yes, most of the clientele is female, but there is the occasional man as well, often coming with their spouse to a couples’ class.

There are six different instructors, including Danielle’s own mother, so you can find the style of teaching you feel most comfortable with.

The best workout is one you enjoy and are willing to do regularly. Here is one more to consider.

Flory May’s Lawrence-based business, The Registration System LLC (TRS), is responsible for providing the software to train and manage thousands of volunteers for what is annually the nation’s largest sporting event.

“More than 10,000 people will fill about 50,000 shifts including meet-and-greets at four New York and New Jersey airports, at train stations and hotels, and all major events and activities,” she explained during a recent interview. “The logistical needs for volunteers are tremendous.”

It is the fourth time TRS has provided this critical component – including the recent Indianapolis Super Bowl.

TRS has earned a sparkling reputation handling online ticketing, event registration and volunteer training for major events including Men’s and Women’s NCAA Final Fours, the Indy 500 and Kentucky Derby Festivals, numerous Olympic qualifying trials and the Republican and Democratic National Conventions, among others.

And that, May, 47, explained, is why New York City came calling. “It was because of our success with the three previous Super Bowls. The organizers wanted to emulate the smooth, organized Indy Super Bowl volunteer support operation.”

As with most businesses, success didn’t happen overnight. A former US Army officer who served during Operation Desert Storm, May launched a downtown Indy startup after working several years in the hospitality industry. At the time, volunteer logistics involved lots of manual data entry into spreadsheets. “I think we were making about a dollar an hour, and we said, ‘There’s got to be a better way,’” she remembered.

That led to the development of the company’s state-of-theart proprietary software that largely automates the process.

A decade later, TRS has, well, punched the right ticket. “We have good software, great customer service and expert account managers,” said May. “We are behind-the-scene operators. I love it when people say they have no idea who we are. That means we did a good job.”

Still, the downtown commute was taking its toll on employees, and May began looking for a new location. In late 2010, TRS held a planning meeting at Fort Harrison State Park Inn. “I stepped outside and looked across the street, and there was a sign that said ‘Lease Available,’” she recalled. “We moved in a week later.”

Relocating to a building at the former Army base (Harrison

By The Park, 5833 N. Post Rd.) held significance for May. In the 1960s, her father, Lt. Col. Michael Fleck, US Army (ret.), completed his officer training at Ft. Benjamin Harrison. May’s mother had remembered the area fondly and requested a return to Lawrence for their last assignment.

Like her father, May also trained at Ft. Ben, and her youngest brother was born at the base hospital. “It brought together all the pieces of my world: a place where my father got his start, a place where I got my start. For me, it was a coming home, if you will.”

May said she likes what she sees in Lawrence. “The Fort redevelopment is a bit of a hidden secret. Many times people think of it as still being a military base and have not seen what’s happening here – the beautiful brick façades, the growth of businesses in this area and clearly a really nice redevelopment plan,” she observed.

“It’s affordable and well-connected to major traffic arteries.

SEASONAL BREW REVIEW - with Hans & Joe Editor’s note: With the explosive growth of craft beers as evidenced by some local restaurants and bars offering over 10 different taps and a multitude of bottled beers, we thought it was time to have an expert provide some insight into the world of craft brewing. For that we present Hans Maldonado, a bartender at Patrick’s Kitchen & Drinks in Zionsville and a certified beer judge, and his sidekick, Dr. Joe Lauer, a local cardiologist who has developed a great deal of knowledge on craft brewing from self-study and frequent tastings. Our plan is to have Hans and Joe write periodically on the seasonal brews being offered locally during the year.

Seasonal Beers of Winter

As the cool crisp nights of fall have given way to the frigid air and frosted treetops of winter, the warmth that comes from a robust glass of beer seems all the more comforting.

Thankfully, craft brewers of the world are ready to respond to our thirst with a variety of malt-driven and sometimes highly alcoholic beers.

This month’s review will be looking at the history of Porter, Stout and Barleywine. That’s right, I said wine. Actually, there are no grapes in Barleywine, and it is, in fact, more beer than the later. Porter, Stout and Barleywine are all progeny of the British brewing tradition of the 1700s-1800s.

The beginnings of Porter predate the development of Stout, and one might even argue that without Porter, there would be no Stout.

the increasingly efficient transportation of goods and people throughout England and, indeed, the rest of the world as well.

My good friend, Dr. Lauer, and I have been fortunate enough to have been provided with some of the finer examples of Porter, Stout and Barleywine that are available in the Indianapolis area – plus a particularly special offering from our friends at Bier Brewery. So, on to the beer!

Porters The origins of Porter can be confusing as there is some

disagreement over the details, but I will attempt to wade through the muck and the mire and offer a clearer explanation. In 18th century London, it was common practice for barmen to create blended beers upon customer request as there were several different types of beer available at most pubs. The men who transported goods throughout the city were called porters. They are said to have been fond of a particular blend which was very likely to include both young and old beer with the latter being nearly undrinkable on its own.

Three Floyds Alpha Klaus Porter Appearance: Voluminous and lingering head with gorgeous lacing. Almost black with some dark reddish edges.

Aroma: Initial burst of chocolate with lots of piney hops.

Taste: The piney and bitter American hops dominate. The chocolaty malt flavors remain in the background.

Mouthfeel: Medium-full.

Drinkability: At 7.5%ABV, don’t drink too many!

Brewers decided to eliminate the need for blending by brewing the beer so that it would taste like the blended version. This explanation is sometimes referred to as the “three threads,” and there is some debate as to whether the story is truly accurate, but it was widely accepted for well over 100 years. I would speculate that, while it may not have been a linear path, each element of the story is independently grounded in some truth.

These early porters would have significantly differed from later examples in that coffee roasting technology had not yet been applied to the malting of barley, hence, there was no such thing as roasted barley. While the earliest porters would have ranged in color from light amber to dark brown, the development of roasted malt in 1817 fueled a change in the color and flavor of porter.

With a darker color and a more robust and roasty, sometimes bordering on bitter, flavor, this new style of beer would hide cloudiness and imperfections in flavor better than its ancestors, thus making Porter poised to take advantage of

Stone Vanilla Smoked Porter Appearance: Dark brown, but not the darkest brown.Aroma: Combination of smoke and vanilla.

Taste: Being that vanilla can be a strong flavor, it is actually used quite modestly in this beer. There is a complex malt profile of roasted grain and coffee.

Mouthfeel: Full bodied Drinkability: Maybe not so drinkable on its own due to the richness of flavor, but with the appropriate chocolate dessert, this would be magical.

Stouts Barleywine Today, many people view Porter and Stout as two distinctly As long as there has been beer, there has been a place for different styles of beer. However, for most of each of the respective style’s existence, this has not been the case. A particularly strong version of Porter came to be known as “Stout Porter,” and at some point, the latter word was eliminated from the term. It has been argued that the differentiation began with the development of roasted malt in 1817. Even today, a proper English Porter is more dark brown than it is black, whereas in America, Porter is often just as dark as Stout.

In the 1900s, England began to tax beer based on its alcoholic strength, thus leading to the taming of Porter’s flavor profile and alcohol content. Stout Porter remained true to its roots, and if it had not happened already, there was a separation of styles. Porter continued to become lighter, and what was formerly called Stout Porter came to be known as simply Porter.

HANS: I have never been one to allow the weather to influence my choice of food or drink, so, for me, during the winter months, I am just as likely to reach for a pilsner as I am to reach for a stout. I do, however, look forward to the best examples of the malt-driven beers so widely produced during these months.

JOE: As I prefer bigger beers in general, I certainly look forward to wintertime beers to provide the kick in the tastebuds that I am looking for. I shan’t be one to miss the flabby sessionable IPAs of summer, or the forgettably simple Oktoberfests of Fall.

very strong beer. In the days of yore, alcoholic strength was somewhat of a necessity if beer was to remain unspoiled as the sanitation practices of the past leave much to be desired.

Old brewing practices also dictated that there be more than one batch of beer produced during a brewing session with each successive batch getting weaker than the previous one.

As alcohol is a preservative, the strongest beer would not only keep the longest before spoiling, but as it aged, it could be capable of developing a complexity of flavor that could rival some of the fine wines of France. Given the historical frequency of war between England and France, it was a wise idea on the part of the British to find a suitable replacement for French wine.

The term “Barleywine” was first placed on a beer label in 1903 by the Bass Brewery to describe Bass No. 1 Ale, although the term had certainly been in use for many decades prior. Today, many Barleywines of England and America are labeled with the vintage, as many of the finest examples will improve over a period of years.

So as the winter drags on, look for those big powerful porters, stouts and brandywines that will be coming on line from local brewers through the season.

HANS: You are a blasphemer!

What does 25 years in business mean for local restaurant, banquet center and catering company Jonathan Byrd’s? It means a quarter century of satisfied clients. What does it take to satisfy the critical eyes of those looking for event catering? As it turns out, a lot — after all, those customers are putting precious memories in the hands of the staff of the caterer. Time speaks for itself here: Jonathan Byrd’s doesn’t disappoint.

The 135-employee company is situated in an expansive facility in Greenwood that boasts an impressive 7,000 square feet of banquet space alone.

Williams added that the church will be using Jonathan Byrd’s again next October for its 15th annual fundraiser, which will have a royal ball theme.

The caterer recently catered the 2013 Royal Extravaganza, a large fundraiser for St. Simon the Apostle Catholic Church in Indianapolis. The event welcomed more than 450 attendees with a colorful island resort royale theme.

Chief Operating Officer Kevin Manship knows a thing or two about what it really means to go above and beyond, as he’s spent the last 17 years of his life perfecting the way Jonathan Byrd’s satisfies even the most demanding client.

Fundraiser co-chairwoman Mary Williams said, “Jonathan Byrd’s developed a themed, custom menu that included items such as grilled island chicken breast with pineapple, citrus sweet potatoes, fresh tropical fruit salad and individual-sized key lime pies. Later on in the evening after dancing, our hungry guests munched on snacks such as pretzel bites and popcorn, also provided by the caterer.”

What sets Jonathan Byrd’s apart from other local catering companies? “The quality of our staff, our attention to detail, the quality of our food and our level of service,” says Manship. Client satisfaction on every level, he said, is his one and only priority.

“We’re a family-owned business,” says Manship. “We put our name on everything we do.” He says that because of this, the company refuses to take shortcuts, making the client their top priority.

Opened in November 1988 by Jonathan and Ginny Byrd, Jonathan Byrd’s celebrated 25 years in business this month. The facility has grown to be a real icon in the Greenwood area. Byrd was known for his culinary endeavors and hospitality, which still shine through in the delicious food served up in the kitchen today, in the restaurant, and in the 7,000 square foot banquet center. They also feed the Indianapolis Colts football team daily at the Colts Pavilion. If you are planning an event in 2014, check out Jonathan Byrd's expanded list of partner facilities (i.e., Hilbert Circle Theatre, Indiana State Fair, Forum Conference Center, etc).

“We pride ourselves on the quality of the food that we purchase, and we never sacrifice quality for a cheaper, inferior product,” says Manship. “We even have our own bakery that produces all of our baked goods and custom wedding cakes.

All our food is made from scratch.”

“We had absolutely nothing but compliments,” says Williams. “We were very impressed. Everyone was served within 20 minutes, and everything looked gorgeous, and the buffet lines ran smoothly and looked amazing.”

Williams said that the staff thought of everything when it came to presentation.

Jonathan Byrd’s coordinated most other details of the event, from the larger ones — like color-coordinated linens and decor — to the subtle nuances, like shining each individual piece of flatware.

“We were highly satisfied — beyond satisfied — with their service,” she said.

“We shopped three different caterers and went with (Jonathan Byrd’s) because of the great food and price. Everything was just fantastic.”

“They met with us before and after the event and even served us some desserts at a committee meeting prior to the event so everyone could have a taste — all at no charge. It was really sweet,” says Williams.

WHAT OTHER EVENT HOSTS ARE SAYING

“Recently I hosted a special event at my home for sponsors thanking them for their support. One of the reasons this event succeeded was the amazing work of our ‘Official Catering Company,’ Jonathan Byrd’s Catering. To put it simply – great planning, service and perfect execution!” -Jim Irsay, Owner and CEO, Indianapolis Colts “Thank you and your excellent staff for making our $100M Celebration a success today! People are still coming up and complimenting everything. Please give our compliments to the maker of the cake & everyone else involved in pulling this off like the pros you are.” -Jennifer Sappington, MDx Administrator, Roche Diagnostics “Without question they provide the highest quality food, the most impeccable service and the best value for your investment. Byrd’s and their staff recognize that your event is of the utmost importance to you and that you want your guests to experience an excellent meal, delivered through a seamless process and that it what they offer.”

-Jane C. Elliott, development director, Catholic Youth Organization “Jonathan Byrd's has built a strong working relationship with many individuals throughout our plant. We have used them extensively since August 2006 for catering from small groups, picnics, celebrations and entire factory events (700+ attendees). Their professionalism and dependability is outstanding, along with their high quality and delicious food selection.”

-Kristi Pulley, HR Manager, Nestle “They have yet to disappoint me with their food, their facility or their service…our 2013 Christmas party was one of the best we have ever had.”

With 22 manufacturers of cigars offering more than 600 shapes in the bar’s walk-in humidor, you are sure to find something to suit your tastes. If you aren’t sure what you want, there are experts waiting for you inside the beautiful humidor to help guide you in making a selection you will like.

Blend’s atmosphere is that of an upscale man cave. The designer used large leather and upholstered seating arranged around coffee tables to provide great conversation areas where people can relax and enjoy a cigar.

There are also Moroccan-inspired lighting fixtures and paddle fans hanging from the exposed warehouse ceiling to add to the atmosphere. It’s quite an intriguing atmosphere!

The bar itself is 40 feet long with a marble top that is lit from underneath.

Behind the bar is the glassed-in temperature controlled humidor where all the cigars are beautifully displayed.

A misting system goes off in the humidor every 15 minutes to keep the cigars at their appropriate humidity level.

The evening we first went to Blend was for a Girls Night Out event raising money for local charities. To make the evening even more special, we got to meet the guests of honor, Chicks on the Right. These ladies host an afternoon radio show on WIBC. It was a great night with ladies talking about everything from politics to Christmas shopping.

We asked a few of the ladies how they felt about entering into what most would assume would be more of a men’s lair. They said they were a little intimidated at first, unsure of what the environment would be like. After being there a short time, they found Blend to be a comfortable place to hang out with their friends. The ladies also joked that they like the odds at Blend! They also couldn’t help but be impressed with the ladies lounge which was decked out in white leather seating and beautiful lighting.

The first thing you may notice when you walk in Blend is the smell…or lack of smell. The bar has installed a top-notch ventilation system to keep the bar from having the heavy cigar smoke smell that you would expect.

During busy hours, the roof opens every six minutes to turn the air over.

The system shoots in a fresh scent near the front door that you will get a slight whiff of when you walk in the bar. It really smelled quite nice when your Girls About Town walked in! Unlike a lot of bars that allow smoking, you’ll notice that your clothes and hair didn’t have the smoky smell once you leave…a huge plus!

Rachel and Chalene checked out the Blend Bar Cigar during ladies night where Daisy and Mockarena, the Chicks on the Right, broadcast live for WIBC 93.1 FM. Blend also encourages groups to ask about using the bar for private events.

Our Girls Night Out fundraiser was held in a more private area of the bar.

The bartenders showed the ladies how to make a few unique holiday cocktails that they created for the event.

Between the beautiful atmosphere and the fun conversation with the Chicks on the Right, all of the ladies really enjoyed their evening. A few of them even tried a cigar for their first time and admitted they liked them!

The owners of Blend are Corey Johnston, Mark Holden and Kim Arbuckle. Corey is the owner of the former Indy Cigar Bar and gave us a tour of the bar. He gave credit for the great décor to the bar’s decorator and designer, Jill Duzan. The owners’ wives were also very involved in the look and the feel of Blend.

Corey’s hope is that people will come

into Blend and find it a place to just relax and enjoy a good cigar. They also have a menu much above the typical food that you will find at most bars. We enjoyed the lump crab appetizer served in a martini glass. Of course we couldn’t turn that down! Jumbo lump crab is served with diced avocado, the world famous St. Elmo’s cocktail sauce, crackers and a side of remoulade. Besides the appetizers, you’ll also find unique sandwich options. The dark chocolate cheesecake is a must!

Blend Bar Cigar really is a unique entertainment destination experience!

Being the only Davidoff cigar dealer in the state is just another reason to check out this new concept in Indy. The cigars at Blend range from $6-$90.

For more information, visit blendbarcigar.com or find them on Facebook.

Whether you go there for lunch, stop by after work for drinks or make a date night out of it, we think you’ll really be impressed with this new Indy hot spot located on 82nd Street near the Fashion Mall!

P.S.: Don’t forget to ask for a tour behind the bookcase!! As always, CHEERS and Happy New Year!!

New Year, New Leadership for Lawrence Township Schools Dr. Shawn Smith Named Superintendent | Lynda Hedberg Thies

The Lawrence Township School Board announced the selection of Shawn A. Smith, PhD, December 12 as the new Superintendent of Schools for Lawrence Township. Dr. Smith, a graduate of Broad Ripple High School, has 25 years of experience in the field of education, starting with Indianapolis Public Schools, Washington Township and most recently as the Assistant Superintendent of Secondary Education for Pike Township.

It becomes immediately apparent during our meeting just how passionate Dr. Smith is about education and making a difference in the Lawrence Township Schools.

“My philosophy is very simple: students first. I have always been a student person,” said Dr. Smith. “I have a strong track record of success and working well with people, so I want to make myself available for what our Lawrence faculty, staff and parents need and what our students need to take our district to the next level.”

When asked how he was planning to accomplish this, Dr. Smith shared that he would spend the first six months visiting with every school to become familiar with the staff, the people and its programs so that he can grasp the needs, the culture and know how to meet the needs of the School Board.

Expires February 28, 2014

“Dr. Smith really sets the course for the future of Lawrence Township,” said School Board President Carol Helmus. “He is a visionary leader with tremendous experience and success at all levels of administration in metropolitan districts. His passion, enthusiasm and love for education are immediately apparent, as is his unfailing dedication to the philosophy that students come first. We are very much looking forward to his service here in Lawrence Township.”

She said the fact that Smith agreed to a portion of his compensation being

performance-based shows his commitment to improvement. She goes on to say, “The stakes are high for everyone including the superintendents. It is a testament to Dr. Smith’s achievement that he is willing to be held accountable like all the employees are.”

The sentiment is echoed by former employees and employers. “He will be a great asset to MSDLT. He’s a people person, hardworking, professional and passionate about kids and education," said Vicki Scott, his former assistant.

After 17 years in Pike Township, Dr. Smith mentions that “the move is bittersweet because of the relationships I have with the families and staff.”

Dr. Smith said he has lived in the two previous communities he has served and intends to live in Lawrence Township. This means that we not only will gain a new Superintendent but a new neighbor as well.

New Superintendent Dr. Shawn A. Smith and members of his family, wife Tabetha, children (L-R) Maya, Jordan and Olivia.

“I’m ready to roll up my sleeves, get to work and ensure the success of Lawrence Township Schools," he said.

"If we do what’s right on behalf of the students, everyone in this school corporation will be successful.”

With a successful track record, a passion for education and praise from the Lawrence School Board, former

employers and employees, Lawrence Township welcomes you.

Lynda Hedberg Thies is a freelance writer, entrepreneur and Executive Regional Vice President with Arbonne International for over 10 years. A lifelong Indianapolis resident, she is married with two children. What she loves most about her experience is making a difference to others and her community.
