BEAUTY & GRACE AESTHETICS 930 Logan Street, Suite 203 Noblesville, IN 317-852-8103 beautygraceaesthetics.com
Writer / Peyton Gigante Photographer / Kelli White
Beauty & Grace Aesthetics in downtown Noblesville is a world-class medical spa. With noninvasive cosmetic treatments and a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere, Beauty & Grace is the result of Owner Amy Julian-Resner’s hard work. After being in the facial aesthetics industry for more than 10 years, Julian-Resner was ready to make the leap into owning her own business.
Located downtown since May, JulianResner has seen an increase in business since the coronavirus pandemic hit earlier this year.
“My main focus in the practice is on facial injectables - neurotoxins, dermal fillers, prescription skincare, chemical peels, micro needling, and basically everything noninvasive for facial aesthetics,” she says.
“With a lot of the local businesses, there’s a great flow of traffic from the salon downstairs, and it’s convenient for people to just pop in even during lunchtime to get a treatment,” Julian-Resner says. “I love the small-town feel of Noblesville.”
Julian-Resner has experience working with plastic surgeons and as a nurse practitioner for St. Vincent Hospital. “I took bits and pieces from all my experiences, but I wanted to open my own space, and really wanted to personalize and customize my approach to facial aesthetics,” she says.
Julian-Resner grew up in Carmel and has been in Hamilton County all her life. She understands the importance of supporting small businesses and developing relationships with her patients. “I pride myself in spending time with my
patients and developing relationships, because I know that there are a lot of different places people can go,” Julian-Resner says. “Every new patient I see I spend an hour with, doing a full facial consultation and listening to what brings that patient in.” Julian-Resner’s passion for making people feel beautiful and confident has developed into a successful business that has seen a considerable amount of growth in the past few months. “Our business, as far as aesthetics goes, has never been better,” she says. “COVID has obviously affected everything, but I’ve been able to grow a business with a lot of word-ofmouth marketing and referrals. I try to create an environment where you feel comfortable.”

WESTMINSTER VILLAGE NORTH 11050 Presbyterian Drive Indianapolis, IN 317-823-6841 westminstervillage.com
Writer / Julie Yates Photography Provided
Westminster Village North, a continuing care retirement community (CCRC), offers a continuum of options for elder care that can ease anxiety for seniors and their families. Located on 57 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, the complex includes options for independent living, assisted living and skilled nursing care. “As individuals and couples retire and get older, they often consider moving into a smaller house,” says Laura Roman, director of marketing and public relations. “But what is the step after that? Once we get older, we know our health will change. If people give some thought to what is down the pike they may think, ‘Do I want my kids to make the choice for my care in case my needs become complex, or is it something I’d like to consider now?’” As a CCRC, the supportive community at Westminster Village North ensures that as health needs change, individuals can move seamlessly into a different living situation. Independent living choices include cottages, luxury apartments and ranch homes, in which occupants never have to worry about yard work or maintenance. The staff is diligent about making sure everything is in tip-top
shape and in working order. As situations change, additional steps to meet individual needs include assisted living, memory care or the skilled nursing community. “Sometimes people get overwhelmed,” Roman says. “Seniors themselves, or children of seniors, are concerned about safety. Fears about not taking medication regularly, not eating properly, or even carrying baskets of laundry down basement stairs to the washing machine are very real worries.”
surgery, our Health Center can provide the rehabilitation and aid needed after hospitalization. My hope is that people will consider living in a CCRC such as Westminster Village North. Our oldest Roman says a CCRC provides a safety net resident is 105 and we have six residents for all residents, and nurses are on duty over the age of 100. I truly believe that around the clock. they have lived so long in part because they “Most residents wear a lanyard, and all they made the choice to reside in a place where they received necessary support when their have to do is push a button for immediate help,” she says. “For those recovering from health needs changed.”

TEXAS ROADHOUSE
Texas Roadhouse has been a part of Fishers for 20 years now. When the popular restaurant first opened along State Road 37 nearly 20 years ago, the surroundings were much different.
“We have remained true to what we were in 1993,” he says. “There are definitely changes we have had to make. Curbside pickup has been big. Carryout is probably two to three times more of our sales now.”
“We were on an island,” says Managing Partner Dan Keilman. “There was nothing else around. You could see all the way up to Noblesville if you wanted to. This area has really grown.”
Keilman says their location off State Road 37 has been better than they could have expected when they first chose the spot 20 years ago. Even with the recent construction on 37, Texas Roadhouse has remained busy.
“We knew this area was going to be growing,” Keilman says. “We are fortunate to have been here and are established, so people know where we are and still find us.

ED MARTIN NISSAN
The Ed Martin Automotive Group has been a staple in Indiana since the company began in 1955. Mark Harrison has been a part of the company since 1976. Today, he serves as President of the Ed Martin Automotive Group, running the popular automotive business with his wife Kathy Martin Harrison. “The summer of 1976, after I got home from college, Ed asked me what I was doing for the summer,” Harrison says. “He said, ‘Why don’t you come work for me?’ So, I did and by 1978 I was working there full time. That first summer it was washing cars, cleaning the lots, helping with whatever he asked me to do.” Today, the company has grown to nine locations and 12 franchises across Anderson, Noblesville, Fishers, Carmel and Indianapolis. When COVID-19 hit the country, Harrison, like any other business owner, wondered how it would affect his industry. So far, business
has continued fairly smoothly. “There was a lot of talk with COVID that no one was going to want to go to car dealerships,” Harrison says. “We have not found that to be true. Nothing has really changed. The price of cars has escalated with the new technology and safety features. So, leasing has become more prevalent.” Ed Martin Nissan, being located along State Road 37, has seen the changes throughout the construction on the 37 Thrives project. “We haven’t been impacted very much yet,” he says. “We will go through some heartburn as the construction moves further north. But it is definitely going to help thoroughfare and congestion.” Ed Martin Nissan is located at 13397 Britton Park Rd. in Fishers.

NOVEMBER IS LUNG CANCER AWARENESS MONTH HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE RISK FACTORS Writer / Dr. Thomas Birdas, Medical Director of Thoracic Oncology at the IU Health Joe & Shelly Schwarz Cancer Center at IU Health North Hospital and Associate Professor of Clinical Surgery at the IU School of Medicine.
Lung cancer is the most common cancer worldwide, accounting for 2.1 million new cases and 1.8 million deaths in 2018. While the number of new lung cancer cases have continued to drop recently, mostly due to changes in smoking habits, lung cancer remains the leading cause of death from cancer in both men and women in the U.S., causing more deaths than colon, breast and prostate cancer combined.
SMOKING
The most known and common cause of lung cancer is smoking tobacco. About 90% of lung cancer cases are caused by smoking cigarettes, which indicates that it is the strongest risk factor associated with lung cancer. The risk of developing lung cancer for a current smoker of one pack per day for 40 years is approximately 20 times that of someone who has never smoked. In addition, smoking tobacco (and vaping) can lead to several other acute and chronic lung diseases.
SECONDHAND SMOKE AND EXPOSURE TO ENVIRONMENTAL CANCERCAUSING AGENT
Although patients with lung cancer are often former smokers, many other individuals with lung cancer may have never smoked at all. The CDC reports more than 41,000 deaths result from secondhand smoke exposure per year in the US. In addition, several environmental agents can increase the risk for lung cancer. The best known are asbestos and radon gas as well as air pollution and exposure to diesel exhaust. The effect of these factors is much less significant than that of smoking; it should be noted that they act synergistically with smoking (so smokers exposed to these have even higher risk of developing lung cancer).
cancer risk after quitting smoking can be as high as 90% after 15 years. Adults who quit smoking gain 6 to 10 years of life expectancy. For help quitting tobacco, reach out to your healthcare provider or call the 1.800.QUIT.NOW hotline. In select high-risk patients, lung cancer screening with low-dose CT scan has been shown to lead to early detection and a 20% decrease in lung-cancer mortality. Talk with your healthcare provider to learn more and see if you are eligible.
PREVENTION AND SCREENING
There is no definitive way to prevent lung cancer, but by quitting tobacco (or never starting!), steering clear of secondhand smoke, avoiding or limiting exposure to known cancer-causing agents, and trying our best to live an overall healthy lifestyle, we can lower the risk. Reduction of lung

When Matt Ewer and his wife Beth Blessing first met in college, they learned that they shared a passion for organic, fresh, nutrientdense food. During their courtship, they discussed their desire to deliver clean, sustainable, farm-fresh food to consumers. Their dream came true several years later when, in 2007, they started Green BEAN Delivery (GBD), which transports subscription groceries directly to clients’ doors. The BEAN acronym stands for biodynamic, education, agriculture, and nutrition. At the time there wasn’t much local, organic food available at grocery stores.
“We certainly didn’t see these types of products being delivered to community members’ homes, and we wanted to open up this opportunity for both vendors and customers,” says Ewer, GBD’s CEO. He says their focus was on home delivery, via e-commerce sales. “I always explained it as a blast from the past and the wave of the future,” Ewer says. “Our delivery technique was similar to the old milkman, but was years before Amazon was delivering perishable products.” Blessing is the company’s chief nutrition officer. Her main focus is on educating NOVEMBER 2020
the community about nutritious food consumption through weekly emails to 23,000 active members, as well as monthly newsletters to 600 corporate health and wellness partners. She’s also a member of the procurement team, and creates recipes for the company blog. “My other roles at GBD are vetting our ingredients to make sure they’re meeting our Clean Eating Promise,” Blessing says. The Clean Eating Promise states that every item in the store is free of unnatural preservatives and artificial colors, flavorings and sweeteners. “Essentially, we only sell food that we feel
comfortable feeding our own families,” says James Nimmer, director of partnerships and engagement. GBD members can sign up for a recurring order on a weekly or biweekly basis. The company also offers an on-demand option for members who want to order less frequently. The company serves customers across Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio and Missouri, and clients can choose from more than 70 fresh produce items. “We try to source local and organic produce from our network of family farmers when in season,” Nimmer says. Though they specialize in local products, GBD also carries national brands. “We coin this as food you live by and brands you love,” Ewer says. “We want to take the difficulty out of buying local and/ or all-natural.” The company’s grocery selection includes more than 2,000 products including grassfed meats, wild-caught seafood, oven-fresh breads, local dairy, gluten-free options, and hundreds of artisanal foods. GBD participates in a one-to-one meal donation program, which means for each order placed, they will donate one meal’s worth of fresh ingredients to one of their hunger relief partners in an effort to combat food insecurity in the community. To date, they have donated 1.3 million pounds of fresh produce to local food banks. GBD’s vendors include Smoking Goose Meatery, Amelia’s Bread, Grateful Gourmet,
Tulip Tree Creamery, Golfo di Napoli Dairy, Beasley’s Orchard and more. Being an independent, family-owned and -operated business in a corporate world can be tough, with competition from all sides. “Being in the same space as some of the largest companies in the world is challenging, but we look forward to being more nimble, creative and unique than our corporate competitors,” Ewer says. “In the end, we can do things that they cannot, and that’s what creates our value to the customer.” For 13 years, Green BEAN Delivery has made life easier for customers as they have granted those customers access to many fresh, delicious foods in a quick, safe, convenient way. Their service became even more appreciated when the novel coronavirus hit in the spring. As the nation’s experts tried to determine the safest way for people to function, folks were encouraged to hunker down at home as best they could. “COVID has been one heck of an experience for us all,” Ewer says. “From day one, we answered the bell and got to work.” Last spring GBD leaders posted a Facebook message in which they highlighted their team, and encouraged members to share any comments or kind words.

UPCOMING FUNDRAISER EVENT SHINES A LIGHT ON CHILDHOOD GRIEF Writer / Peyton Gigante Photography Provided
as activities and opportunities to meet new people.
On November 19 Brooke’s Place, a nonprofit dedicated to serving those living with childhood grief, will hold its annual Legacy of Hope fundraiser. The event will feature Will Reeve, son of the late actor Christopher Reeve, as the keynote speaker.
“Indiana is the 12th highest state where someone will experience the death of a loved one before the age of 18,” Harting says. “It’s a big issue and we feel the need to support those families.”
“We help children, teens, young adults and their families, and provide grief support services,” says Katie Harting, advancement manager for Brooke’s Place. “They’ve all experienced the death of a loved one - not necessarily a family member, but someone near and dear to them.” Brooke’s Place helps children understand they don’t have to endure grief alone, and the organizations’s leaders do so through peer groups and therapy services, as well
The Legacy of Hope event helps to make this possible. “This year we are hosting it virtually, and we have the honor to have Will Reeve as our keynote speaker,” Harting says. “He’s the son of the late Christopher and Dana Reeve, and is on the board of the National Alliance for Grieving Children. He’s super supportive of grief centers that help children and young adults.” This is the eighth Legacy of Hope event, NOVEMBER 2020
and though it will look a little different this year due to the coronavirus, there are more opportunities to reach a wider audience than ever before. “We raise money in a couple of different ways - through corporate sponsorships, donors, and volunteers that give towards a matching gift fund,” Harting says. “Every dollar that’s raised the day of our event will be matched to a certain point, dollar for dollar.” In addition, Brooke’s Place has an online fundraising page where those interested can register for a free ticket to the event and donate. Though the fundraiser is normally held as a breakfast, this year it will be streamed live from the event website, and Will Reeve will appear via Zoom from his home in New York.
“It’s kind of a blessing, because there’s no cap limit,” Harting says. “It gives us an opportunity to reach people that normally might not be able to attend. Having someone like Will as our keynote speaker can be a huge draw.” Children and families involved with Brooke’s Place will be able to stream the event while it’s aired, or watch it at a later time. “Everyone’s grief is unique - how they grieve and the duration of it - and Brooke’s Place really honors that individuality of the grief and the person who is grieving,” Harting adds. “It’s something that is unique and meaningful.” For more info on Brooke’s Place and the annual Legacy of Hope event, visit brookesplace.org, or call 317-705-9650.

MAKING SOME DOUGH TITUS BAKERY OPENS THIRD LOCATION Writer / Matt Keating Photographer / Jason Graves
Terry Rake, owner of Titus Bakery and Deli in Lebanon, is thrilled to have opened a third Titus location at Reynolds Farm Equipment in Atlanta, Indiana, known as Titus Bakery & Deli at Reynolds. “I couldn’t be happier about this,” Rake says of the new location. “I was contacted by some great people at Reynolds earlier in the year to open a restaurant at their facility. Their previous restaurant, Combine Cafe, closed last March, and they were looking for another place to come in. We started there in August, and we have been really busy.” Rake says many Reynolds staff members and customers were already buying doughnuts and sandwiches from Titus at their Lebanon and Westfield locations.
“It’s been really nice to have customers from Atlanta who live near Reynolds tell us they are happy to have a Titus so close to their homes,” Rake says. “There really aren’t a lot of restaurant options in the immediate area, and people looking for some outstanding doughnuts and deli sandwiches have really supported us. We have always worked hard to make our customers happy, and it’s been that way for a long time.” Rake’s grandfather opened the company’s original location,Titus Pastries, in Lebanon back in the 1950s. “He has a lot of loyal customers who kept coming back,” Rake says. “I bought the business in 2012, and started the deli part of the business in 2014.” Rake says Titus customers at the Reynolds location can get the same delicious NOVEMBER 2020
doughnuts and deli sandwiches served at the other locations. “We also added some new breakfast sandwiches for the new Reynolds location that have been very popular,” Rake says. “We have one called The Hogger, which has ham, bacon, salami and cheese. Our Udderly Delicious sandwich has egg, cheese, and ham or bacon, on a yeast doughnut as the bread.” Rake says the new eatery has been a great fit for the area. “The people at Reynolds have been so kind and supportive,” Rake says. “They eat here a lot. We can seat 48 to 60 people inside our cafe, and we have picnic tables for outside eating.” Kyle Nagy, marketing manager at Reynolds
Farm Equipment, says the new restaurant has worked out well so far. “The addition of Titus to Reynolds has really been great,” Nagy says. “Our employees love their doughnuts and sandwiches, and it has brought new customers into our building who have never been in our store before. Likewise, our normal customers come in now and grab parts, and a doughnut on their way out.” Nagy has his own personal Titus favorites among their selection of treats. “The apple fritter from Titus is hands-down my favorite doughnut,” Nagy says. “It is as big as my head, and is a meal by itself. I also love their box-lunch sandwich meals. It is a lot of food that is made fresh for you.” Titus Bakery & Deli at Reynolds is located at 1451 East 276th Street in Atlanta, Indiana.

HAVE ANOTHER SPENCER FARM WINERY VALUES QUALITY AND TRADITION Writer / Julie Yates Photographer / Ron Wise
Although Spencer Farm Winery recently celebrated its first anniversary, several years of planning and cultivating were necessary before it opened in October of 2019. Located on East 161st Street, the winery is an extension of a family farm known for berry picking, pumpkin patches and a farm market. As the newest facet of Spencer Farm, the winery carries on a multigenerational vision.
younger Spencer has an interest in viniculture and a passion for wine. Adding a tasting room to the already scenic and relaxing atmosphere of the property seemed like the perfect fit. The winery is family friendly. It provides a reason to take a trip out of the city and enjoy strolling around the grounds. Board games are onsite for visitors to use, and grape juice is available for those who are under the age of 21.
“We have several wines that are popular, and they range from very sweet to dry,” Mark says. “Sweet-wine fans seem to enjoy the Peach & Honey, Traminette and Blueberry, while dry-wine fans gravitate towards Syrah, Vidal Blanc, Pinot Grigio and Noiret. We try to keep varieties consistent, but that is dependent on the grape harvests.”
The staff at the facility produces a diverse range of wines. The selection includes varieties appropriate for appetizers all the way to dessert courses. In keeping with The tasting room, which is open yearSpencer Farm’s well-known cultivation “The farm started as a dream of mine 40 round, is located inside a homestead built of fruit, the winery has developed some years ago,” says Kyle Spencer, owner of in 1883.

Wine tasting can be experienced in the farmhouse, on the porch and at tables on the grounds. Flights are $5 plus tax, for five pours of your choice of wines. Wine can also be ordered at $6 per glass. When patrons discover their favorites, they can purchase bottles for an average of around $20. While wine tasting, visitors can enjoy charcuterie boards that showcase cured meats from Turchetti’s Salumeria in the Fountain Square district of Indianapolis, as well as Amish cheeses, preserves and mustard. Unique crackers and bread are included in the food offerings. All products served at the winery are available for purchase in varying retail sizes at the Spencer Farm Market. “The winery features live music on Friday and Saturday nights during November and December, and there will likely be additional events added to the calendar as we navigate through this unique year,” Mark says. The Spencer family has always valued a strong sanitary approach to the workings of the farm and the market. During this time of COVID-19 safeguards, they are going above and beyond what is required. Any contact surfaces, including doorknobs, tabletops and chair backs, are frequently disinfected. In addition, the staff uses aerial disinfectants within their buildings to ensure visitors can safely visit all structures. There are also plenty of outdoor tables that can be used if weather permits. “I have to say that I truly love what I do,” Kyle says. “I have been blessed with a wonderful family who has been very understanding through the good and bad. It has also been a pleasure to be part of a wonderful community that has supported us through the years. When we first started in 1982, families would visit the farm. Now we are serving the children and grandchildren from those same families. No amount of money can equal the feeling you receive from that. It has truly been a blessing to be part of the community we live in, and raised our family in.” Spencer Farm Winery is located at 7015 East 161st Street in Noblesville.

EVERYTHING OLD IS NEW AGAIN NOBLESVILLE ANTIQUES ON THE SQUARE REOPENS UNDER NEW OWNER or 30 years Jill Janusiewicz cleaned houses while raising her three daughters, Avery, Abigail and Kayte. All the while she was attending college, and in 2016 she graduated with a bachelor’s degree in engineering. During the summer of 2017, Janusiewicz began working as a clerk at the Noblesville Antique Mall. She later became the store’s manager. In March, however, Noblesville Antique Mall closed its doors. The lease ended in June and the previous owners weren’t looking to renew. The landlord, however, knew Janusiewicz well and said he would be happy if she chose to take over the lease. She thought it seemed like a great opportunity, as she has enjoyed building
relationships with customers and dealers for more than three years. On July 1, Janusiewicz signed a new lease and hit the ground running so she could reopen the shop on August.
open up 30 days later was astounding,” says Janusiewicz, who logged 15- to 17-hour days during the month of July. “If it wasn’t for all these people, we would not have been able to open on August 1.”
“It was a completely empty, 10,000-squarefoot building that had not been painted in 40-plus years, so we took the opportunity to clean and paint it from ceiling to floor - all three levels,” Janusiewicz says.
Opening day of the renamed Noblesville Antiques on the Square exceeded Janusiewicz’s expectations. She was pleased that 95% of the original dealers came back, along with 15 new ones. Her customers were eager to return as well.
When she says “we,” she’s referring to the group effort that involved her staff, dealers and loyal customers, all of whom pitched in to help. “The community really came together, and the amount of work we did to be able to
“The city has been nothing but positive,” she says. “This place is a staple in our town. A 40-year-old business like this one you can’t just shut down, or else it hurts the whole town, because people come in from all over and shop here, plus the other shops.”

“THE CITY HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT POSITIVE. THIS PLACE IS A STAPLE IN OUR TOWN.” - JILL JANUSIEWICZ -
Janusiewicz has been enamored with antiques ever since her first trip to an antique store when she was 9 years old. “I got an Avon perfume bottle with this blue and white design on it,” she says. Now she collects china, and currently owns seven different sets. “I use every bit of it,” she says. “If I have it, I’m using it.” Noblesville Antiques on the Square features old coins, vintage jewelry, vinyl records, tin signs and vintage clothing.
AUTO CARE FOR ALL MAKES AND MODELS
“It’s endless to be honest,” says Janusiewicz, referring to the massive amount of merchandise, which is replenished daily. “Literally every single day we get fresh merchandise in from dealers, which is great because we have several die-hard customers who come in once or twice a week.” Some may come in for old Pyrex, pottery, paper weights, postcards, or perhaps salt and pepper shakers. “I never knew until I started working here how huge of a selection there was of vintage salt and pepper shakers, and they came up with some of the craziest combinations - poodles, umbrellas, feet or old telephones,” Janusiewicz says. “You name it and it’s a salt and pepper shaker.” Customers also come in search of old “Life” magazine copies to give as anniversary or birthday gifts.

One might not expect teenagers to show up in an antique shop, but Janusiewicz says she sees a steady stream of teens on a regular basis. “The next generation loves hanging out in here,” Janusiewicz says. “Sometimes they’ll come in for a school project or just to go through vinyl records, comic books or vintage clothing.” Even though she’s working in the same building every day, Janusiewicz is pleased that no two days are alike. “You don’t know who you’re going to meet or the stories you’re going to hear about the pieces customers are buying,” she says. “I’ve learned a lot, both from customers and from dealers, over the past several years.”

Simply because no lemonade stand is complete without Country Time. Together with his dad Mike and neighbor Chris Hoffman, they built the now very recognizable lemonade stand. “Fueled for School’s Covid-19 relief began just two days after school closures in March,” says Trusty. “Volunteer teams following social distancing protocol worked behind the scenes several days a week to convert the weekend meal program into a daily meal program, focusing on vulnerable children.”
