GREENWOOD COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL MUSIC DEPARTMENT WINS THIRD STRAIGHT ISSMA ALL-DEPARTMENT AWARD

Writer / Michelle Kaufman

Greenwood Community High School’s music department was recently recognized as a recipient of the Indiana State School Music Association (ISSMA)’s AllDepartment Award.

says he, choir director Daniel Borns and band director John Morse focus on doing their best and pushing the students with new and challenging literature to perform.

“The kids are getting better, understanding more, and they’re playing it and do a great job,” Fletcher says. “It’s really all three of To qualify for the award, Greenwood’s two us [directors] working together to make it concert bands, jazz band and three choirs had happen. It’s not any one person. The concert to score a gold rating at ISSMA competition. bands are always kind of where we want to explore more technically for the band so “We’ve qualified for the all-department when we get to the marching band, those [award],” says band director Steven Fletcher. skills are there.”

“If we didn’t do jazz band, it would be an all-music award because both sides [band The Wind Ensemble band played technically and choir] would get it. With the three, we difficult music, while the Symphonic Band obviously qualify for a higher level of that focused on a different, more challenging set award. It’s very cool.” of music with different colorations and meter.

This is the third year in a row that “Because a lot of those [Symphonic Band] Greenwood has received the award. Fletcher kids are younger, we wanted to make sure

we got as much sound and as much ability out of them as we could,” Fletcher says.

“They went beyond what I thought they’d do. It’s an amazing thing to get to watch a group of kids grow musically, mature and push them to do something they didn’t think they could do.”

Borns started the Vocal Jazz choir during the 2014-15 school year, and having a jazz or show choir was another requirement for the awards. One Group I soloist, one Group I ensemble, an organizational choir and Vocal Jazz all had to receive a gold rating to earn the choir side of the alldepartment award.

Greenwood’s choir has 60 soloists and 13 ensembles who received a gold rating, with 36 soloists and 12 ensembles being Group I. “It’s a nice recognition,” Borns says. “It just

shows that we’re checking all the boxes and giving the kids the opportunities that I think they should have. It makes me feel good knowing that they’re getting to see the different opportunities that are out there and being successful.”

To prepare for Solo and Ensemble, Borns divides the choirs into smaller groups and picks group leaders so he and the leaders can work with them. Borns also picks music for soloists and gives them an accompanist and practice track.

“I’m proud of the fact that we can say that we’re one of those schools that’s [gotten the award] for three years in a row,” Borns says. “I don’t know how many schools have done that. We wouldn’t be able to do the total department award if it weren’t for the band. They’re also rocking and rolling every year, so it’s cool to kind of have the whole music department be able to do that sort of stuff.”

Making Your Dream Project a Reality Go-to Design and Remodeling: Gettum Associates

Greenwood resident LouAnn Berry and her husband spent three years sitting on their old deck dreaming of the new porch they always wanted. Their dream became a reality thanks to Gettum Associates.

The Berrys desired a covered porch but quickly found out that this was a big renovation project. After hearing from an acquaintance that Gettum had designed other high-quality porches, much like the one they wanted, the Berrys decided the company was a great choice for the design and remodeling.

“We felt that Gettum had the most experience with this type of construction,” LouAnn says. “We knew we wanted a covered porch, not only to make it more comfortable in the sun, but to be able to sit out and hear the rain on the roof. My husband had it pretty well designed but Gettum was really able to take our concept, add the structural considerations and bring our vision to life!

“They started on the new porch while we were on vacation but kept us notified of the progress and had it ready by the date we wanted,” LouAnn adds. “They were right on schedule, very professional and did an excellent job. We love our new porch. It was money well spent!”

AUGMENTED REALITY DEBUTS IN TOWNE POST NETWORK MAGAZINES All Nine Hyper Local Community Magazines Now Offering Interactive Print Writer / Tom Britt

July issues of the Towne Post Network magazines will be the first in Indiana to showcase the latest in Augmented Reality (“AR”). What has been popular with gamers for the past few years is now making its way into print marketing, adding an interactive layer to an otherwise 2-dimensional print publication.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

1. Download the Layar app to your mobile device.

2. Scan a page with the AR logo on it.

3. Watch the page come to life!

HOW WILL I KNOW WHICH PAGES ARE INTERACTIVE?

Augmented pages will have the AR logo in the bottom corner. By scanning them with the Layar Augmented Reality app, the page will become interactive showing you a video, web links, photos or even shopping buttons.

WHY AUGMENTED REALITY?

Magazines show up once a month, we need to be relevant every day of the month. To do this, our team utilizes social media, direct mail campaigns, video production and now augmented reality to create engaging content and local marketing programs that really work.

While AR is still in its infancy with print, we look at it as another tool in our toolbox to help our local advertisers capture measurable results.

If you’d like more information on how the Towne Post Network and our 135,000 plus monthly magazines can benefit your company, please give me a call or email. Better yet, scan our Table of Contents page.

Tom Britt, Publisher tom@townepost.com (317) 288-7101

WHY THE LAYAR APP?

We have been testing this application for more than two years and found it to be the most dependable and scalable app for AR. What will be a game changer is the release of Apple’s IOS 10.0 this fall, which will include AR for the first time.

Recipe For Success CUNNINGHAM RESTAURANT GROUP CELEBRATES 20 YEARS OF CULINARY ACCOMPLISHMENT

Mike Cunningham is the man behind Cunningham Restaurant Group and restaurant concepts like Mesh, Stone Creek Dining Company, BRU Burger Bar and more.

Writer / Jon Shoulders Photographer / Brian Brosmer

In an industry as challenging and unforgiving as the restaurant business, Indianapolis-based Cunningham Restaurant Group (CRG) is still thriving after two decades, with an ever-expanding selection of successful restaurant concepts including Mesh, Boulder Creek Dining Company, Vida and BRU Burger Bar in Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Louisville and Lexington.

Founder, CEO and company visionary, Mike Cunningham, says a thorough understanding of day-to-day restaurant logistics, as well as an innate sense for customer hospitality, are crucial to stay successful in such a difficult field with so many competitors. And he should know because his understanding began when he was in the third grade.

State Technical and Community College, he had worked his way up to assistant manager with the Ground Round Grill & Bar burger chain.

Cunningham’s foray into entrepreneurship came at age 22 when Ed Sahm, one of his Ground Round colleagues, decided to open his own independent restaurant and pub – Sahm’s on 116th Street in Fishers – and needed a manager. A few years later, Cunningham was debuting his own concept – a frozen yogurt and café shop called the Big Chill - which would expand to five locations beginning in the mid-1980s.

“This is a business I’ve been in my whole life, so I understand when things are not being done right and know how to adjust and fix things,” Cunningham says. “A lot of people think it’s all fun and good times, but this industry is hard work, and there are many moving parts that can go wrong every The youngest of nine children, Cunningham single day. You have to surround yourself was washing dishes at the local Skyline Chili with people who care and want to strive for down the street from his Cincinnati home perfection day in and day out.” by age eight to help make his large family’s ends meet — an experience that later gave By 1997 Cunningham had observed the way to multiple restaurant cooking jobs rise of TCBY and several other affordable through high school. By the time he had frozen yogurt chain competitors and obtained an associate degree in hotel and decided to sell his Big Chill stores to return restaurant management from Cincinnati to the full-service restaurant game.

found a prime location in Brownsburg and opened Boulder Creek Dining Company, offering modern fare and a rustic, mountainlodge setting, now in its 21st year and still thriving. CRG was off and running.

“The challenge then, and what the challenge will always be, is finding good people that want to take care of others and have that hospitality gene,” he says. “To make guests feel like they’re home when they’re in your restaurant, that’s what sets you apart.”

Avon-based, Italy-inspired Charbonos followed a few years after the opening of Boulder Creek, and CRG continued to gain momentum, steadily expanding and adding new establishments to its portfolio including six Stone Creek Dining Company locations in Indiana and Ohio and Moerlein Lager House in Cincinnati. Cunningham has continued to sharpen his command of all things culinary and currently oversees 21 restaurants in four cities, with two new Indy eateries scheduled to open this fall in the Ironworks Hotel on East 86th Street – Rize, a health-conscious breakfast and lunch spot that will offer catering, and Provision, an upscale lunch and dinner concept.

“It was a slow, methodical growth over 20 years, and it used to be one (restaurant)

A lot of people think it's all fun and good times, but this industry is hard work... every two years, and then one every year and then multiple per year,” says Cunningham, adding that CRG currently employs approximately 1,600 people.

Don’t let another Beat the Fallwithout Rush summer pass & Make your Backyard your dream backyard!

Adaptation has played a key role in Cunningham’s winning formula, and he says CRG has responded to the rise in customer demand for unique, locally sourced ingredients.

Dreams a Reality

“People want to eat locally grown, healthy food, which is a greener approach for everyone even the restaurants because you’re not trucking your produce from California or your meat from Arkansas or wherever,” he says. “And it keeps those jobs in the state.”

Never one to ignore industry trends, Cunningham has gone further than just sourcing local produce from Hoosier growers. He recently purchased a 7,800 square-foot greenhouse on the south side of Indianapolis, where, this summer, CRG will begin harvesting hydroponically grown lettuces, herbs, peppers and tomatoes for its kitchens.

“Certainly the local trend is big right now,” Cunningham says. “At our Vida concept, which is new in the last 14 months, we have a hydroponic wall in the kitchen. We’re pulling fresh lettuces and herbs right off our kitchen wall and serving it that day. You have to do things like that and evolve in this kind of business to keep things fresh and interesting for everybody.”

A TASTE OF EUROPE ARTISAN PICNIC USES FRESH, LOCAL FOODS FOR CASUAL DINING

Photos provided by Courtney Geyer

Writer / Lynda Hedberg Thies

The weather is warming up, more of what we do is outside and that means it is picnic season. There is nothing quite like taking some time to relax outdoors and enjoy casual dining with your loved ones. If you’re looking for ways to plan the perfect summer picnic without all the effort, Artisan Picnic, a new locally-owned, Fishers-based business, has just what you need to make your next picnic with friends and family memorable.

Picnics can be as simple or as sophisticated as any meal you plan, but having the option of placing an order online to create the perfect picnic can take away the stress of planning the meal and put the emphasis on time with family and friends. Sarah Reuter,

founder and owner of Artisan Picnic, came up with the idea while vacationing in Paris, France a year ago.

The inspiration to bring a European, earthfriendly gourmet picnic, filled with fresh, local artisanal foods, literally came in the middle of the perfect picnic in Champ de Mars Park in Paris near the Eiffel Tower.

“I had a moment where it just hit me that I wanted to recreate and bring this experience back to Indianapolis,” says Reuter, a former travel executive. “In Europe there is a bread shop, cheese shop, a meat store, a wine store on every corner, and as I was having this amazing picnic experience, I thought, ‘I want to recreate this experience using local food artisans and farmers.’”

INDY METRO / JULY 2017 / TownePost.com

She began thinking about some of the local cheese shops and markets right in her neighborhood, realizing that there were so many local butcher shops and bread makers popping up. Reuter realized this was a viable idea as she recalled all the amazing local food artisans and how it might help their businesses. too.

Their gourmet picnics include a wide selection of fresh artisanal foods with three choices, “The Frenchie”, “The Italiano” and “The Veggie”.

“The Frenchie and The Italiano menu options are similar to the traditional styles of French and Italian Charcuterie (cured meats) and cheese boards,” she says. “Each of the options consists of local artisanal bread, cheeses,

charcuterie, sweet and savory spreads, something pickled and something sweet.

The Veggie menu simply leaves out the meat and adds in a variety of fresh local seasonal vegetables and fruits.�

Reuter is partnering currently with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra on their lunch break series in June and three coming up in July where she will be onsite to offer the picnics so you can enjoy the concert without having to worry about getting lunch beforehand.

Artisan Picnic is also partnering with the Indianapolis Museum of Art, Fishers Farmers Markets, The Original Farmers Market downtown Indy and is working to expand with more vendors at popular events around the city.

If you are interested in trying one of the picnics, check out their calendar of events to see where they will be located throughout the season. Since they do not have a store-front yet, all orders need to be placed online through the website to pre-order and pay for your picnic prior to their event that is on their calendar. Or you can order a picnic for an event of your choosing. Reuter can work with individuals or corporations with advance notice.

When a local business is set up to support other local businesses that gives their customers great food and makes spending time with your friends and family easy to enjoy summer, then everyone wins. Order your picnic and let’s support our local food artisans in Indiana.

GUITARWORKS MARKS 30-YEAR ANNIVERSARY Writer / Christy Heitger-Ewing Photographer / Brian Brosmer

Guitarworks, a privately owned music store in Greenwood, celebrates 30 years of helping to make beautiful music. Owner Kevin Franklin founded the store in 1987, but it’s been located at SR135 and Smith Valley Road for the past 22 years.

Prior to launching the business, Franklin taught guitar and related instruments, advising students as they progressed in their abilities.

“I saw the need for a higher quality and caliber of service in the area,” Franklin says.

“Plus, Greenwood was in desperate need for a one-stop-shop music store.”

Though the idea to open his own store had

been percolating for some time, he was busy not only teaching but also performing as an acoustic soloist, booking 100-plus gigs annually.

pupils per week, providing instruction in guitar, piano, horns, percussion and voice. Franklin estimates that 40 percent of students are adults.

“It was a lot of fun, but in ’87, I decided to pursue this other dream,” says Franklin, putting 100 percent dedication into the 13,000-square foot store where he sells a large selection of entry-level and mid-priced products as well as hundreds of high-end American-made instruments. The store sells guitars and all fretted and folk instruments such as mandolins, banjos and ukuleles.

They also sell professional audio, amplifiers, keyboards and drums.

“Many are starters, and many are start-over people who used to play before life got in the way,” says Franklin, noting that some are avid hobbyists who have hit the creative wall and are looking to expand their knowledge.

Others are professionals who are interested in studying different styles.

The store also offers private 30-minute lessons to all ages and stages for just $20. With 23 instruction studios, their 34 instructors see more than a thousand

“We have Deric Rush, the best in-house luthier in the Midwest,” says Franklin, noting some ways they have set themselves apart from chain and Internet stores.

Service is also a large part of what they do as they are meticulous about calibration and set-up of the instruments.

Guitarworks Owner Kevin Franklin founded the store in 1987.

“So, we have the one-and-only Mighty Marshall here on display,” Franklin says.

“We’ve gone beyond just being the average guitar store. We’ve done some things that have made an impact in our industry.”

For instance, Guitarworks has founded many nationally and internationally instituted programs. Taylor Guitars, the number one acoustic American guitar manufacturer, has a program called The Taylor Road Show, which was born on Guitarworks’ stage and is now on three continents.

In addition, Trace Elliot amplifiers named an entire division after the store.

Ten years ago, Guitarworks started a program called Band Builders where they group players together based on age and skill to form performing bands. The groups rehearse for six weeks and then do a full-tilt show on stage with lights and video in front of a live audience.

“On the Eagles’ Hell Freezes Over tour, all of the guitar amps on stage were Trace Elliot Guitarworks amplifiers,” Franklin says.

“These are the teen bands who are the high school heroes as well as the adult bands that And in 1995, when Guitarworks moved play the circuits,” Franklin says. to this location, Jim Marshall of Marshall Amplification presented Franklin with the They’ve even launched bands who are internationally touring. world’s largest amplifier.

The Guitarworks stage, however, is not just used for Band Builders shows. They also do clinics, concerts, workshops and seminars. The stage also hosts a who’s who of performers — from bluegrass staples like Doc Watson to metal gods such as Terry King and progressive virtuosos like Joe Satriani.

It’s all part of Franklin’s dream come true.

Because ever since he first picked up a guitar at six years old, it’s all he’s ever wanted to do.

“It’s not like I thought I was God’s gift to the guitar, but I was a good performer who could make a living at it, so I was happy,” Franklin says.

As for these past 30 years, running the family store with his wife, Rene, who manages the office, and his two grown

children, who work as instructors, he’s found contentment there, too.

“This is not just my store,” Franklin says. “It’s my life.”

And thanks to Franklin’s dedication and that of his staff, it’s life for many other families in the Greenwood area as well. For time and again, they have seen how the infusion of music into a family has completely transformed its dynamic. It all starts when parents come into Guitarworks to purchase their youngster their first guitar. Sporting a nervous yet hopeful expression, they choose the instrument, sign the child up for lessons, and say, “We’ll see how it goes!”

“Next thing you know, a decade has passed and we have our tearful goodbyes when these students head off to college,” says Franklin, who says that often lessons become a family affair as brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers follow suit.

“We often hear, ‘Music is becoming our family’s number one thing!’” he says.

And that’s music to Franklin’s ears.

What do you do when you have a love for dogs and a talent for crafts?

time. But as a lifelong dog lover, she found herself living with a cat in an apartment complex in Florida with a one-pet limit.

Training a service dog became both a solution and an avocation.

If you’re Danielle Abouhalkah, you dive into a commitment to train service dogs and “A service dog didn’t count as a pet (in the create an online business that donates part lease),” she says. of the proceeds to a non-profit.

After a year, Danielle returned to Danielle both works and attends school full Indianapolis and continued to train

service dogs. In 2016, she founded GiveDropLeaveIt, an online store where she sells dog bandanas and dog-related clothing and art for dog lovers. She donates a portion of each sale to New Horizons Service Dogs, which breeds dogs for service and coordinates training.

“I take my dog everywhere with me, and I always like to put different bandanas on him,” she says. “I got a lot of craft skills

from my mom, so I just thought, ‘Why not make and sell them and donate a portion of the proceeds?’

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires accommodations for people with service animals, defined as “dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities.” The Act requires access for service dogs are to any space open to the public.

There’s still some confusion about the requirements of the ADA, likely due to the different requirements for therapy animals and emotional support dogs. The Act specifically excludes “dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support”.

“Yesterday we went out to dinner and the lady said, ‘I think you have to sit at a table outside,’” Danielle says. “And I said ‘No, we don’t have to sit on the patio, we can sit inside.’

“A lot of people get therapy and emotional support dogs confused with service animals,” she adds. “Sometimes people will take their ES dogs into Kroger, and they’re really not supposed to be there. And if that dog creates a scene, the next time I come in they’ll say, ‘The last service dog was tearing up cereal boxes.’”

Danielle’s current charge is a puppy named Moby Dick. She’ll have him for about 10 months, and then he’ll go into a prison in Florida to continue his training as part of an inmate program. After another six months being re-socialized on the outside, Moby will be assigned to a person with disabilities.

Danielle spends hours every day training Moby for tasks that might be required when he begins supporting a new owner.

“We have tugs all over our house,” Danielle says. “He can open every drawer, open the refrigerator, and we do a lot of wheelchair work.”

COTTAGE ON MAIN CREATES REPURPOSED WORKS OF ART Writer / Cathy Wendorff Photographer / Amy Payne

Using their self-taught skills and passion for handcrafted projects, the Do-It-Yourself Helping to revitalize downtown Greenwood Duo of Dianna and Mike teamed up is a unique home goods retail store, Cottage years ago in Mike’s garage to inspire each on Main, where their passion is creating other to design and construct one-of-arepurposed works of art from unwanted and kind keepsakes. They began by scouring damaged items. auctions and garage sales to find salvageable materials, but now people bring in their “I’ve been painting furniture and decorating things to sell, donate or refurbish. Mike my whole life, it’s something I’ve always worked as a regional retail manager for 15 loved,” says retired teacher and owner, years and is happy to tell customers, “I’m Dianna Thompson Massie. the DIY person, I left my job so I can do it for you.”

In conjunction with Mike Twarogal, her shop manager and son-in-law, Dianna has Dianna, with the help of her children, developed a flourishing family furniture opened her first store in Southport and later restoration business. moved her business in 2015 to the Yellow

House Gallery in the Edinburgh Outlet. In May 2016, the family began transforming the space previously known as, Jim’s New to You, into Cottage on Main, which is a showroom with a trendy twist on traditional and modern Farmhouse styles in a cozy customized setting. What makes their new location special is the leased barn space that gives Mike a functional workshop to house his many projects.

Through the years, Dianna has learned, “What is old is new, it just has to go around, it has to make that circle, the circle of life.

It doesn’t just apply to people, it applies to items and furnishings.”

She enjoys hearing the stories behind the

items, whether someone is downsizing or they just don’t know what to do with their relatives’ things. Dianna loves old cracked, dented and mismatched items that can be converted into usable treasures.

Both Dianna and Mike agreed that they want people to have unique items in their homes and, most importantly, things that they love. They pointed out that some of their best sellers are lamps with refreshed shades, half-painted and half-stained dining room sets or painted dressers and desks that are used for a variety of things from TV stands to credenzas and buffets.

Emily Twarogal, daughter to Dianna and wife to Mike, helps the business with her savvy social media skills and also by painting inspirational word signs from reclaimed wood.

Although most of their sales are from customers at the store, they do offer online sales and ship items out-of-state. Priding themselves on knowing what price the community will accept, they keep their prices reasonable. Sometimes they invest more time in recreating a new look than they can get out of it, but they are about the preservation of good bones through quality work. With a true appreciation of art, they expanded their base to include some creations from outside artists, such as Pottery by Doug and String Art by Yellow Umbrella Designs.

With Dianna’s motto, “Let’s paint it, don’t give it away, let’s see what we can do with it,” and Mike’s “Don’t throw it away, I’ll use it somehow,” this dynamic duo has fun turning old unloved objects into lovable products for anyone’s home.
