It Began With Family Mama Carole and Son Justin Invite You Back to Old Italy

Writer & Photographer / Joshua Deisler

As she neared the intersection of College Avenue and 54th Street, Carole Leuer eyed the “For Sale” sign in the front of an old stucco house.

She remembered her home in Omaha, and she missed the family food and old music of her childhood. Upon her return home, she described the house to her husband and how it would make an “awfully cute Italian restaurant.”

To Carole, owner of Mama Carolla’s Old Italian Restaurant, the roots of her story begin in Omaha, Nebraska. “Families had their own restaurants,” she says. “Next to New Orleans, I always thought that Omaha had the best food in the country.”

As a young adult, Carole moved to New York City. After marrying, Carole and her husband moved to Indianapolis, thinking they would settle here for a short time. But as Carole says, “We never got out of here. We’ve been here for 42 years.”

After her son Justin was born, Carole vacationed back to Omaha to see friends and relatives.

She visited a place called WC Franks, a family restaurant serving hot dogs. When she returned home, she announced her wish to open a hot dog restaurant. After renting out a building on 52nd Street, Carole and her husband planned a menu of hot dogs, sausage and nachos. On opening day, a line stretched out the door. “I had never poured a Coke in my life,” says Carole, remembering her first taste of the restaurant business.

Along with hot dogs, Carole also ran Yogurt Crossing, serving frozen yogurt and sandwiches.

“Much to my surprise, we realized all of a sudden we were in the food business,” she says.

Years later, the discovery of the old stucco house would propel Carole into her next adventure. She knew exactly what she wanted: “If I was going to do a restaurant, it was going to be Italian,” says Carole. “My best friends were Italians. My boyfriends were Italians.” She wanted people to feel like they had experienced a little place in Italy, and that meant keeping everything, even the music, looking and sounding old.

After buying the house, her family built an addition onto the back to accommodate a bar.

As she began to decorate the interior, Carole attended auctions to buy old paintings for the walls, and she purchased pillars to place over metal pipes. She kept most of the light fixtures and bought more from local vendors. She even made the curtains and the tablecloths: “They probably all need to be replaced, so don’t look too close,” she laughs.

Carole traveled back to Omaha, tasting different dishes and deciding what to put on the menu. She even hired a chef to help her experiment with different recipes. And when it came time for a name, she recalled her favorite place back in New York City called “Mama Leona’s,” changing the Leona to her Spanish name of Carolla.

Soon it was time for the restaurant to open.

“We were so over our heads,” says Carole, reminiscing on opening night in ‘97. “I’d never been in the food business like that before.”

With very few other restaurants nearby, many neighbors doubted the place would ever survive.

Little by little, the business grew, and Carole continued to improve her recipes: “Every time you get a new chef, you learn something different,” she says. Soon, more and more family members came to work for them.

During his later years at Ball State, Carole’s son Justin often trekked home to serve in the restaurant on the weekends.

Things finally seemed steady for Mama Carolla’s, but after losing their head chef, Carole found herself working night and day.

One evening, she turned to son Justin and said, “Learn how to cook!”

Justin quickly switched from cooking Ramen noodles to experimenting with different recipes for sauces, ziti and lasagna. “He has the gift of taste,” says Carole as she remembers the day Justin told her he wanted to run the place. “It was the best decision I ever made.”

Justin has now managed the restaurant for over a decade. He enjoys doing a little bit of everything: training the servers, running the kitchen and coordinating the wine lists. He especially appreciates planning new specials for the weekend and notes that oftentimes it’s the basic twists on old, traditional dishes that make the best specials, like a recent dish of meatballs stuffed with mozzarella.

“Since we don’t have a chef, the cooks are more involved,” says Justin, who often brings ideas to the cooks to experiment with.

Justin also enjoys meeting the guests. “It’s fun seeing everybody happy when they leave. I’m tired, but it’s exciting,” he says. He plans to enclose the east patio by this holiday season to accommodate larger parties, so more people can enjoy the restaurant.

Carole holds up her cocktail. “This is what I enjoy the most,” she says, laughing.

She is pleasantly surprised that NUVO named Mama Carolla’s “Best Local Italian Restaurant” in 2014.

“Neither one of us ever went to culinary school. Neither one of us are trained chefs or business people. For us to get these kind of awards really makes you feel humble and really makes you appreciate that it’s happening to you,” she says. “How can I be this lucky?”

But both mother and son are quick to solve this riddle.

Soon, Mama Carole is relaxing at the bar with customers, thanking the bartender — another family friend — for the cocktail. Son Justin is checking on the kitchen and then heading to his kids’ soccer games.

“It’s a lot of hard work,” says Carole. “I appreciate that people like us and that they come back, and we will do anything to keep them coming back.” Justin and Carole both agree that their greatest joy over the years is being successful and taking pride in their restaurant. “Our philosophy from the minute we opened the restaurant was good food for a reasonable price,” says Carole.

But it all began way before Carole spotted that old stucco house. Before New York City and Mama Leona’s. Before frozen yogurt and hotdogs. Before her children and even before her move to Indy. Mama Carolla’s truly began in Omaha with evenings of local Italian food and old music. Above all, it began with family.

“People can come in and have wine and dinner without breaking the bank,” agrees Justin. And for Justin, his greatest challenge over the years is keeping things new and keeping the food quality the same as when Carole opened the place.

ROB DELABY SUSAN G. KOMEN CENTRAL INDIANA ®

PINK TIE GUY OF THE YEAR

Writer / Keeley Miller Photographer / Brenda Walter Staples

When he was just 13 years old, Rob Delaby sat by his grandmother’s bed as she battled cancer. Without any power to help beyond comfort and prayer, he felt helpless. Years later, he faced another cancer diagnosis of a close friend. Rather than sitting back, Delaby decided to do as much as he could to make a difference.

“When we found out in September 2014 that my good friend was diagnosed with breast cancer, I said that I would be damned to just sit there and watch it happen,” said Delaby.

Delaby decided to raise money for Susan G. Komen and breast cancer research as a Pink Tie Guy, a group of community leaders who raise money for the fight against cancer. As owner of Shane’s Landscaping and an active member of the community, Delaby fit right in. Between June 1 and August 31 of this year, he went to everyone he knew in an attempt to raise the largest total donation.

“Every donation was a personal conversation or a handwritten letter with someone that I know personally, whether through business or personal relationships,” Delaby said. “I explained how I never do this, how I am always the first guy to be giving. Everyone knew me well enough that they took me very seriously and dug deep into their pockets.”

After raising $23,100, Delaby was announced as 2015’s Pink Tie Guy during the annual Pink Tie Ball Sept. 19. “[Learning that I raised the most money] was amazing. I was determined to win. If I do something, I do it. If I tell someone I will go the extra mile, I go two extra miles, so I left it all on the table,” said Delaby. “I was thankful that my efforts were profound enough to put me in the position as the 2015 Pink Tie Guy.” Throughout his entire campaign, Delaby was motivated through the devastation he has seen cancer cause in his own life as well as others.

He used this passion to go above and beyond in terms of raising money.

“When I talk about it, it brings tears to my eyes. I can’t quite explain it,” said Delaby. “I think that it has to do with the pain that I have deep inside from the loss that has been caused by cancer. I am driven by the fight inside to avenge the death of those that were taken by cancer.”

Comparing himself to a supply chain to the front lines of the war against cancer, Delaby emphasized the importance of the community coming together to tackle the disease.

“Breast cancer is a powerful disease that knows no boundaries, so we all need to come together to fight,” Delaby said. “It was my calling to generate resources to those on the front lines fighting the fight.”

Delaby’s own business experience helped him during his campaign. After buying Shane’s

Landscaping in 2006 and building it to almost twice the previous size in under a decade as well as recently starting a new business, Premiere Trees and Tree Moving, Delaby has learned how to work with others to reach success.

“I am driven with an effort to try to be there for everyone that needs me and fulfill all of my commitments,” said Delaby. “It is the same for my business and the same for my role as Pink Tie Guy.” With doctors so close to a cure, Delaby emphasized how much every donation truly matters.

“Just go on the website and donate,” said Delaby. “We are so, so close to finding a cure.

When you say every dollar helps, it truly does.”

“THREE JEWS WALKED INTO A SHOPPING CENTER...”

A MEMOIR BY ELIZABETH KRAFT TAYLOR

Writer & Photographer / Kara Reibel

Elizabeth Kraft Taylor, known to friends as “Eliz” (Liz), is an indelible mix of grit and elegance. “Three Jews Walked Into A Shopping Center…” is Taylor’s new memoir, recounting amazing life stories that only she could share.

Featured on the back cover of her memoir is a “want ad” she saw in the Chicago Tribune: “Wanted: Creative Director; wild, undisciplined, sometimes rebellious, raw talent seeks leadership.” She says, “I knew it was written for me.”

After working in retail in Chicago, Taylor

was ready for her next challenge. Not surprisingly, she got the job and moved to Indianapolis, starting a career with Melvin Simon & Associates.

“I’d met Melvin, Herb, and Fred 12 years prior to accepting the job at Simon when they visited a grand reopening for Madigan’s, the most successful store in any of their malls, which was the store where I was the Marketing Director in Chicago,” recalls Taylor. “These three Jews walked into the store and became my three wise men.”

Taylor would work for Simon during the golden age of retail during the ’80s and early ’90s. She would be actively involved TOWNEPOST NETWORK / OCTOBER 2015 / TownePost.com

with the opening of the Mall of America as well as Circle Centre Mall, the Indiana Roof Ballroom, Embassy Suites Hotel, the Indiana Pacers and many other tremendous marketing events that she staged, raising the bar and attracting retailers such as Nordstrom to Indianapolis.

Taylor has shared so many of her stories over the years, inevitably eliciting the response from her listeners, “Eliz, you should write a book.”

Taylor dedicates the memoir to her three wise men and to Gerald Paul (Paul Harris, where she served on the Board of Directors), Jerry Gershman and to “Jewish men

everywhere who give a shiksa a chance.”

Taylor steps further with her prologue, stating the reasons she wrote the book.

The first is to honor and remember Melvin Simon because just attending a synagogue to hear his name read aloud once a year was not enough for her. Her second reason was to show the honesty and ethical values that serve as the foundation for the incredible success of the Simon organization.

Lastly, she writes to share her personal story of determination and hopes to make the point that “we are all born with handicaps and blessings, and it’s our job in life to figure out which is which.”

The delightfully creative copy for the want ad that drew Taylor to Indianapolis was written by then senior copywriter, Teri Moore. “Eliz was, of course, the ideal candidate! She brought structure and just enough organization, but never let that flame of creative freedom burn low,” shares Moore. “It was a madhouse most of the time – creativity, originality, lots of hard work, and above all, the license to thrive in a very loving and supportive environment.”

The marketing events were nonstop with the number of malls across the country, and with the special events held at each, there was never a dull moment. Taylor shares one story about an event held at a mall in Idaho where the Lone Ranger was to make a celebrity appearance.

“You never knew what was going on,” shares Taylor with a smile and a laugh. “I sent a girl to pick up the Lone Ranger, and he came to his hotel room door naked wearing only the mask.”

Eliz, Vic Ruthig and Jim Austin. Photo provided.

It’s far more than a fun memoir; it’s a living historical account of the rise of the shopping mall and the evolution of retail marketing. It’s funny, insightful and inspiring. Taylor had a tough start with an abusive drug-addicted mother who died prematurely, leaving Taylor with three younger sisters who she worked hard to raise after the death of their mother.

“Eliz’s book is a great read for anyone from Indiana, anyone in retail and anyone who comes from less than ideal beginnings,” shares Inside INdiana Business Host Gerry Dick.

Taylor is still close to many of her employees and co-workers including Business Development Entrepreneur Jim Austin, who says of Taylor, “Eliz led the industry by leading Simon marketing. She has a brilliant marketing mind and provided me with great guidance throughout our work together which allowed me to hone my own marketing skills early in my career,” shares Austin. “It was a very special time to be a part of the Simon marketing department.”

Taylor praises the Simon brothers for empowering her, and she believes that their religion helped shape the company in very positive ways. “Whenever we opened a new mall which was three or four a year in those days, we would always be involved in that local community in a philanthropic way,” shares Taylor. “And Melvin would say ‘do more.’ I grew up Catholic and were always told to give to the church. The Simon brothers, through their belief of ‘our job is to heal the world,’ gave me a new perspective, and that became an integral part of my life and continues today.”

The inner strength and grace that emit from Taylor come from a special place. She found a path enabling her to thrive which is nothing short of a miracle given her upbringing, an important and compelling story by itself.

After experiencing a childhood of abuse, Taylor felt there wasn’t anything she couldn’t handle. Her strength of character and perseverance served her well, weathering tough circumstances and

guiding her to becoming a successful Senior Marketing VP at Simon. Later, Taylor continued her career as President and CEO of the 500 Festival.

fact that this gave her a chance to come to terms with her childhood. I believe Eliz to be a superb example to people who’ve dealt with adversity.”

“Eliz Kraft Taylor had a significant impact on my career,” shares National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) Executive Director Mi’Chelle Bettner.

“When I worked with her at the 500 Festival, her creative vision was inspiring and a model for me moving forward. Eliz was a mentor to me, and I am blessed to have worked with her.”

“I have been blessed in so many ways and feel that I am called to devote my time to people in need,” shares Taylor. “I realized that there are people out there that are too shy to ask for help. People just need to love each other.”

Today Taylor is dedicated to serving not just the community but friends who may be dealing with their own challenges.

“I am very happy that she got the opportunity to write this book,” shares Eliz’s husband Stephen Taylor of Stephen Taylor Design Residential Interiors.

“Expressing her appreciation to Melvin and Herb was a cathartic experience and the

were wonderful, kind people.”

If gold is to be purified, it has to pass through fire. That’s what Eliz is – gold.

Whether it’s a phone call or a note of encouragement, Taylor is dedicated to spreading compassion and love.

“I am happy to share my stories,” says Taylor. “It was a great release for me and a cathartic healing experience.”

“My first goal with my memoir is to bring back conversation about Melvin Simon,” states Taylor. “He was so important to shaping this city, and his impact nationwide cannot be overstated. My three wise men

PROJECT PINK FASHION SHOW Student designers from The Art Institute of Indianapolis (shown here) used t-shirts and medals from the 2015 Race for the Cure to create one-of-a-kind dresses that were worn by breast cancer survivors or cosurvivors. Over 450 people attended the event at the Regions Rooftop in downtown Indianapolis raising over $31,000 for Susan G. Komen of Central Indiana.

Photographer / Toni Folzenlogel

Hair and make-up artists from Wild Horses Salon in Fishers donated their time to make all the models look glamorous for the evening.

Breast cancer survivors Danielle Derrico and Kim Irish work on their pageant waves after the runway show.

The 2015 Trendsetter Award went to Geist’s Joy Neely who raised $2,805 for Susan G. Komen of Central Indiana.

THE WELLINGTON FISHERS BANQUET AND CONFERENCE CENTER

Owners Greg & Cami O’Herren

36 / GEIST MAGAZINE / OCTOBER 2015 / atGeist.com

Writer / Kara Reibel

The Wellington Banquet and Conference center in Fishers has new ownership energized by the possibilities of their facility. Located just north of 96th Street and close to I-69, owner Cami O’Herren is capitalizing on their talented staff and amenities to provide superb service and accommodations for events.

Having taken over the facility earlier this year, O’Herren says, "It’s all about bringing business to this area.” And with several hotels in close proximity, O’Herren is happy to work with the neighbors stating, "We all fill a slightly different niche, and working together benefits us all.”

According to O’Herren’s husband, Greg, owner of Shamrock Builders, “It’s the flexibility of the space that makes it so appealing."

The Wellington is capable of hosting events up to 500 guests. Wedding receptions, business seminars, board meetings and other events are welcome.

Replete with all the technology for business or banquet events, including a dance floor, The Wellington has it all.

In addition to the amenities, a great location and flexible space, The Wellington offers something many consider the icing on the cake a commercial kitchen and a full time chef.

“We can create anything from box lunches to gourmet meals with beef tenderloin and salmon,” says Cami, “We have added individual beef wellington appetizers with a special Wellington sauce.”

With an extensive menu for onsite catering plus the ability to cook, staff, and serve off site, The Wellington offers endless possibilities.

“We would like the Wellington to be considered as a wonderful facility with excellent food and great service,” says O’Herren, “Our goal is a wonderful experience for every client.”

With the growth in Fishers and surrounding areas, The Wellington is an ideal venue for office and social events. atGeist.com / OCTOBER 2015 / GEIST MAGAZINE / 37

THE PERFECT PARTNERSHIP Brad & Carey Riley

Writer / Pete Walkey . Photographer / Brian Brosmer

For the past 27 years, business owners Brad and Carey Riley have been proud to call the Geist Reservoir home. Their story is one of humble beginnings, hard work, doing business the right way and constantly reinventing themselves. You might know them as owners of Recreation Unlimited.

Brad grew up on a farm in Greentown, Indiana, while Carey grew up in Muncie.

Both graduated from Purdue and began professional careers in Indy, Brad at Eli Lilly and Carey in the financial industry. atGeist.com / OCTOBER 2015 / GEIST MAGAZINE / 41

42 / GEIST MAGAZINE / OCTOBER 2015 / atGeist.com

8/21/15 2:58 PM

When they decided to have a family, Carey chose to stay home and raise their two boys Grant and Blane. To bring in extra money, and for the challenge, Carey started a part-time business with a line of credit of $10,000 as an Invisible Fence distributor in her spare time.

Carey would schedule evening appointments for Brad during the week, and together they would install on the weekends. They remember installing a fence after dark using the headlights from their car.

The business grew to a point where they were one of the most successful Invisible Fence dealers in the U.S., overseeing 14 states.

One day, Brad came home, and instead of Carey stressed out from balancing kids, household logistics and the new business, she was smiling and happy. She announced she had just “quit” the business because she couldn’t take it. Brad knew it was time to quit Lilly and jump in full-time. This started a long and successful career as business owners.

All in all, they have started and owned four businesses and sold two.

The one people are most familiar with is Recreation Unlimited in Noblesville.

RECREATION UNLIMITED

Established in 1989, they are a one-stop shop for spa, hot tub, pool table, game room, playground and sports equipment needs. Their staff combines over 50 years of recreation experience in the Midwest.

They have a huge display of quality Play Systems, Goalrilla Basketball Systems and playhouses. Their private spa showroom allows you the opportunity to get in and enjoy the relaxing comfort of several spas before making a purchase. They take pride in their equipment and installations, and their number one goal is to provide the best service both before and after your purchase.

They founded Goalrilla Basketball Systems in 1995, eventually selling the company in 2000. Recreation Unlimited, however, still sells the

brand as does DICK’s Sporting Goods and many other retailers across the country. Roger, their lead installer at Recreation Unlimited, has installed more basketball goals than anyone in the U.S. Brad has the big picture, sales and marketing mind, while Carey provides the finance, operations and day-to-day expertise. They are a perfect partnership and provide balance to one another and the business.

Brad credits much of their business success from staying fresh, constantly reinventing the business and offering a diversified offering of products and solutions.

RELATIONSHIPS AND FAMILY

Family is very important to them as they are very proud of their two sons Grant and Blane. Blane is a third-year medical student at Marian University, and Grant has joined the family business with his IT background.

They spoke about the importance of relationships, community involvement and their desire to impact people through their businesses. This includes employees, customers, vendors and people in the community.

PHILANTHROPIC PASSIONS

It was very clear that the next chapter of their lives includes making a difference in the community. They have recently donated land for the new Humane Society for Hamilton County.

They spoke very highly of the Executive Director Rebecca M. Stevens. They shared the vision for the new complex that will be located just north of 146th St. on State Road 37 and are incredibly excited for the future project.

TAPPING SOMETHING SPECIAL: HEADY HOLLOW

Who knew a trip to the Sam Adams brewery in Boston eight years ago would lead to a passion for brewing and the opening of a new microbrewery in Fishers? But that’s exactly what happened to co-founder Keefe Pietri!

He was never much of a beer fan, but that Boston trip changed his opinion. Of course, it also could have been the college years of drinking Old Milwaukee or Red White & Blue that affected his low opinion of beer!

After he returned from his trip, he started tinkering around with different recipes and brew kits in his kitchen. He’d bring his concoctions to co-workers and friends to get their opinion. One of these taste testers was George Garrison. George also found he enjoyed the process of brewing beer.

Keefe and George spent endless hours and years together perfecting their product.

After winning the Indiana State Brewer’s Competition at the state fair, they knew they had tapped into something special. The two began planning to open up their own microbrewery.

With a plan to emphasize the microbrewery’s Fishers roots, Pietri and Garrison began scouting out a home for their craft beer.

They found a space at the end of the Village Square strip mall on Allisonville Road south of 116th Street.

Chalene Braun, Lauralee Pietri and Rachel Quade sample the Heady Hollow beers at Fishers' newest brewery.

Local legend has it that the area just north of this location was once known as Heady Hollow and was said to be haunted. An old Mennonite record from the 1850s warned travelers to beware of the screams and moans of ghosts in Heady Hollow. With such interesting folklore, the co-founders couldn’t resist naming their new establishment Heady Hollow!

From the décor to the names of the microbrewery’s offerings, the owners have cleverly woven Fishers’ past and folklore into their establishment. Pictures of the early days of Fishers adorn the walls. The barn wall in Heady Hollow comes from a former local structure. The tabletops are repurposed beams. There seems to be a story to everything you see in Heady Hollow. Their attention to detail adds to the bar’s charm.

44 / GEIST MAGAZINE / OCTOBER 2015 / atGeist.com

Heady Hollow offers four regular beers on tap along with a few rotating seasonal offerings.

The 1802 Pale Ale is named after the year Fishers was founded. It has an amber color and was the beer that won the co-founders brewer’s contest. Hoosier Hops is an India Pale Ale. This IPA has a less hoppy and more malty taste than other IPAs we’ve tried.

For those of you who have visited Conner Prairie, you may remember the story of William Conner and his wife, Mekinges Conner. The two went on to have six children, but 18 years later, Mekinges and their six children headed west with 60 horses and William stayed behind. Heady Hollow’s 60 Horse Scotch Ale is named for that tale. By the way, don’t feel too badly for ol’ William. Three months later, he married an 18-year-old, and they had 10 children together! Yet we digress.

For comparison’s sake, a Coors has an ABV of 3 percent. So look out – these drinks can hit you pretty fast!

Coming in October, Heady Hollow will be offering a Harvest Ale. It’s a smooth brown ale with hints of orange, ginger and cinnamon.

They also plan on adding a pumpkin ale for October. Thanks to Heady Hollow, there will be plenty of treats during this trick-or-treat season!

Of course, what’s beer without some munchies? Heady Hollow has you covered there too! Lauralee Pietri has used her experience in the food industry to come up with a menu that will make you want to come back for more!

Even if you aren’t a beer lover (yes, there are some of them out there), you’ll want to come in to enjoy the paninis and sandwiches. Our The fourth brew is an American Wheat named favorite was the barbecue pork sandwich. The 90 Minute Wheat. The four beers have an ABV vinegar-based coleslaw added to the yum factor!

(Alcohol By Volume) ranging from 4.7-7.6.

They also stay local with their food. Carmel-

based Just Pop In popcorn and Broad Ripple Chips are a few of the munchies they offer.

This fall, they will be adding growlers to their menu. So if you like what you taste, you’ll be able to take it home. Heady Hollow is in the process of building up the inventory that will be needed for the addition of growlers. It takes about three weeks to brew a batch of beer.

They will be announcing on Facebook and Twitter when they are ready to begin offering growlers.

In the meantime, consider trying a flight of the Heady Hollow’s four flagship craft beers. It’s a great way to sample all four beers!

Heady Hollow is located at 11069 Allisonville Rd. They are open Wednesday and Thursday from 4-10 p.m., Friday 4-11 p.m. and Saturday from noon-11 p.m. They are closed on Sundays and Mondays. If you’re looking for some craft beer with a local spin, head over to Heady Hollow. CHEERS!
