Knowing when to go to the Emergency Department or visit Immediate Care can save time, money and even help save your life. If you are in a significant amount of pain, the Emergency Department is the right place to go. For less severe illnesses and injuries, it is best to contact your primary care physician, or visit Immediate Care if you are not able to see them in a timely manner.

For the last 55 years, Hendricks Regional Health has put down roots in Hendricks County with a commitment to delivering high-quality, low-cost patient-centered care. Our campuses and continuum of care have since evolved—and continue to evolve—to better serve the growing needs of Western and Central Indiana.

Our full-service Emergency Departments in Danville and at our new Brownsburg Hospital, featuring a side-by-side Emergency Department and Immediate Care Center, further our mission in providing increased access to care close to home.

TALK OF THE TOWN: ZIONSVILLE CELEBRATES GRAND OPENING OF NEW TOWN HALL BUILDING

For years, the mayor’s office and other administrative offices were housed in an old church that was erected in 1961. After so many years, the building was turning into a state of disrepair. The original electrical and plumbing was starting to cause problems, plus the structure was not ADA (Americans with Disabilities) compliant.

Mayor Tim Haak and the Town of Zionsville celebrated the opening of the new Town Hall with a dedication ceremony on Nov. 15.

or years, the mayor’s office and other administrative offices were housed in an old church that was erected in 1961. After so many years, the building was turning into a state of disrepair.

The original electrical and plumbing was starting to cause problems, plus the structure was not ADA (Americans with Disabilities) compliant.

“It was time to move on,” says Mayor Tim Haak. So, last year the town began construction on a brand new 42,000 squarefoot Zionsville Town Hall Building, which opened in September and was officially dedicated on Nov. 15.

“We’ve got a lot more room for ourselves as well as the public now,” Haak says.

For instance, now they’ve got upwards of 10 conference rooms, whereas before they had just four (including the Community Room). Plus, the new Community Room is three times the size of the previous one.

The conference rooms and Community Room are also available to civic groups and nonprofit organizations for meetings and events. It’s now much easier to navigate the building due to the signs in the hallways indicating the various departments.

“We organized the layout so that the departments that are most widely used by the public — like the Finance & Records and Planning & Economic Development Departments — are right there in the front of the building on the first floor,” says Amanda Dorman Vela, Director of Communications & Community Relations.

Also on the first floor is Administration and the fire department.

“In the old building, these departments were sort of hidden and difficult to find,” Dorman Vela says. “You didn’t know which department was which because nothing was clearly labeled. Now, everything is easy to follow.”

The public will also appreciate being able to access the building (open from 6 a.m.-8 p.m., Monday through Friday) to use the first-floor

restrooms and water fountain — especially folks utilizing the adjacent Rail Trail.

“It’ll be a great spot for people using the Rail Trail to stop and rest or fill up their water bottles,” Dorman Vela says.

The public plaza, which is equipped with bike racks and an air pump, is still a work in progress, but come spring they will plant additional landscaping, as well as include other features and amenities, which will be shared at a later date.

The second floor houses the Boone County Senior Services organization as well as the Zionsville Chamber of Commerce, previously located in the Village.

“It’s nice all being housed in the same building. It makes working together more efficient and productive,” says Haak, noting that it can be difficult to conceptualize what something is going to look like based on a paper rendering. Once it’s built, however, the beauty and vitality come alive.

“I think folks have been really impressed when they’ve stepped inside,” Haak says.

The public will have a chance to tour the new Zionsville Town Hall at the “Mayor’s Night In,” which will take place at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 5. The event, which will be held in the St. Vincent Community Room, is a chance for community members to come in and talk one-on-one with the mayor and other department heads, get a recap of the year, ask questions and learn about plans for the future. Of course, anyone is welcome to stop by any time during business hours to snoop around as well.

Haak, who grew up in Zionsville and graduated from Zionsville High School, has lived in the community for 40 years and could not be happier.

“When my wife, Leah, and I got married, it was an easy decision to choose to raise our children here,” Haak says. “It looks different and is bigger, of course, but it’s still got that same close-knit community feel, and that’s my favorite thing about living here.”

NEW RESTAURANT & BAKERY COMBO BRINGS FOOD, DRINKS AND SWEETS TO ZIONSVILLE Writer / Christy Heitger-Ewing Photographer / Amy Payne

Kate Drury practiced law for 10 years, all the while dabbling in business ownership on the side. She owned a boutique for a bit before selling it and opening the Flying Cupcake in 2007 (now in six Indy locations) and the Dancing Donut in 2015 in Fishers.

In October, she debuted her most recent venture — the Lemon Bar, located in downtown Zionsville.

“I like to evolve and try new things,” says Drury, who describes her new business as a hybrid restaurant and bakery that offers lunch, dinner, dessert and drink menus. “We have beer, wine and cocktails, along with sandwiches, soups and bigbowl salads.”

They start serving lunch at 10:30 a.m. and switch to the dinner menu at 5 p.m., which consists of heartier items such as meat loaf and mashed potatoes.

“We are very comfort-food oriented,” says Drury, noting that customers have been going crazy for the soups, which are made in-house, 100 percent from scratch. “People have been ordering seconds because they’re so tasty.”

The fried green tomato BLT made with Bloomington’s Scholars Inn bread is very popular as is the roasted butternut squash.

Everything is fresh. They even toast the pumpkin seeds that top it. The Hoosier

Cheese Board (made up of Indiana cheeses) and the Hoosier Poutine (thick fries smothered in Sage Sausage gravy and topped with cheddar cheese) are also slam-dunks.

“People often split a giant slice of cake because they know our dessert quality,” Drury says. “They don’t always know about all the other stuff we offer, though, so they try a meal or a drink and are pleasantly surprised.”

They offer a great selection of local beers.

Plus, the bartender incorporates local options into drink combinations such as Mogul Gin and Vodka.

In most restaurants, customers come in for a meal and the dessert is an afterthought.

Not so at the Lemon Bar, where desserts are their specialty.

Customer response thus far has been phenomenal. Not only is there a daily wait for lunch, but folks are also praising Drury for bringing something unique to Zionsville.

Perhaps the biggest indicator of success is the number of repeat customers Drury has already seen.

“That’s the difference of if you’re going to make it or not — if people come back time and again,” says Drury, who chose this charming location because she wanted a building rich with history. Originally erected in the 1950s as a car wash (there are three distinct bays), Drury was drawn to the architecture. But it required substantial renovations.

“The place didn’t have correct plumbing,” she says. “The floors were way out of whack, level-wise, with an eight-inch difference between one side of the building and the

atZionsville.com / DECEMBER 2017 / ZIONSVILLE MAGAZINE / 11

other. It would’ve been far simpler to level it and rebuild, but I wanted to preserve the building’s heritage.”

She kept all original trusses and as much brick as possible. She then had a blast decorating the interior, incorporating tons of twinkle lights on the ceiling and rafters. She also ordered several 1930s green floral lampshades from a vendor in Paris, making sure to provide a nice balance between the feminine and the industrial. For example, she’s got black framed glass garage doors juxtaposed with lemon wallpaper. She also hung a crystal chandelier with blue droplets above stark concrete floors.

The unique countertop, which surrounds the hostess stand and several other walls is fashioned out of something that looks like shingles on a doll house.

“It’s a subtle detail, but it makes the room,” Drury says. “The same is true of the handmade paint effects. It’s made to look like an old garage with layers of paint but it’s actually new, safe and fresh.”

Though the building sits on the original footprint, Drury added a private party room with tall ceilings, a giant chandelier and a faux fireplace that can accommodate up to 18 guests.

Drury and her husband, Cameron, have three teenagers, which means busy schedules and lots of time juggling. Still, she wouldn’t change it for the world.

“My husband is extremely understanding and supportive,” Drury says. “We love this place. In fact, we joked before we opened that if all else failed and nobody came, we would just hang curtains and move in.”

It’s safe to say they won’t be setting up cots anytime soon. The Lemon Bar, open Tuesday through Sunday, is a hit in Zionsville.

Cathedral alum, Ryan Feeney, landed the Super Bowl of sculpting jobs when he was picked as the lead sculptor of the Peyton Manning statue.

SCULPTING A LEGEND LOCAL ARTIST TALKS ABOUT CREATING THE PEYTON MANNING STATUE Writer / Lynda Hedberg Thies Photographer / Jamie Sangar

His attention to detail and work ethic are legendary. He is humble and kind and has a great sense of humor. He is willing to share the credit for his success, and he has left a legacy in the city. Sounds like Peyton Manning?

Meet Ryan Feeney.

Ryan Feeney may have never played a day in a Colts jersey, but he won the Super Bowl of sculpting jobs when he was chosen from a very competitive field of artists from both the East and West Coast to create the larger than life statue of the iconic Peyton Manning.

Feeney fell in love with art when he was just 5 years old and only 7 when he created his first oil painting. While other kids were out playing games in the neighborhood, Feeney was either working on art projects or taking art classes with his mom. His talent was evident, so his parents enrolled him at Shortridge Junior High School for

their Art Magnet program. While he played sports throughout his childhood, nothing really grabbed his attention, but his parents insisted he participate.

Feeney’s involvement in athletics changed when the 5-foot-6 freshman came to Cathedral High School. He knew he was too small to play football, so for three years he ran track and cross country. By his senior year, he was well entrenched in his art classes along with his other academics, but his art teacher, Barb Velonis, took him under her wing and mentored Feeney. She also introduced him to 3D drawing, which sealed the deal on his desire to pursue a college degree in design. But he was also craving the opportunity to play a contact sport, and that is when he discovered rugby.

Feeney found a rugby club at Lawrence North but soon realized that the travel time was cutting into his practice time. So, the coaches suggested he start a club at Cathedral. He could have just dropped the idea because he was about to graduate, but that was not Feeney.

INDY METRO / DECEMBER 2017 / TownePost.com

So, in 1992, Feeney’s senior year, he started a Rugby Club at Cathedral.

He found a couple of coaches, and he advertised the program and invited anyone to play so long as they did not have a school program, they could sign up for the Cathedral program. The first season the program finished in the middle of the pack. Today, the club is one of the premier programs in the country. Royal Irish Rugby, a 25-year-old program, has won four National Championships in the past six years and played the championship game both years they didn’t win.

“There is no way to truly measure what rugby has done for this community because it constantly grows. What started as a small club here on the northeast side of Indy has now become a dominant program that has held the number one ranking for most of the last seven years,” says Dave Snyder, Royal Irish Rugby Coach.

Feeney’s legacy with the rugby program has led the club to create a “Ryan Feeney Founders Award,” given to players that need support to keep playing the game.

Feeney went to Miami University of Ohio to study Art and Design but was also able to continue playing rugby while a student there. The focus of his time at Miami was working on his skills. He even received his first commission when he was a senior there, and his professors supported him through the process. He graduated from Miami with a Bachelors of Fine Arts and a double major in graphic design and sculpture.

He started his career working in the art and graphic design department for a corporation and soon realized that he did not have as much time to work on doing what he loved, which involved designing statues.

In 1999, Feeney joined the Indianapolis Fire Department because the 24 hours on, 48 hours off gave him the flexibility to spend more time sculpting. By the time he launched his design business, Indy Art Forge, he already had four bronze statues out around the city.

“Most guys at the station had a second job mowing lawns and landscaping, mine just happened to be in a studio,” Feeney says.

By the time the Colts announced that they were going to build a Peyton Manning statue, Feeney already had 15 public statues on his resume.

But this job was the biggest he had ever tackled, and his competition had bigger portfolio’s and even a staff of people to work on the project. Feeney was working as a firefighter and is a married father of two children, but he went for it anyway.

The interview process proved intimidating and the competition’s portfolio’s daunting.

Colts Chief Operating Officer Pete Ward told him he had the weakest portfolio of everyone, and the other sculptors had even submitted a scaled down sculpture of Peyton.

“I don’t have the portfolio as these big-city sculptors that have five other artists working for me to do the work,” he recalls. ‘How could I compete,’ he thought to himself?”

But then he noticed that all the sculptors had left off the helmet. Knowing Peyton

was the ultimate detail person, he promised a statue to them in three days and returned with the replica wearing a helmet and even included the wire strap, which the others had left off. So, he thought he got their attention.

“We will not go to step one or step two without your approval or go from two to three without your approval,” Feeney told Pete Ward. “I said, ‘If you hire me, living local, you can have input and involvement at every stage. I won’t get it right the first time, if I do, I’m lucky, but I always like to have other people look at it and tweak it.’”

Feeney’s reputation, attention to detail and physical location gave the Colts unprecedented access to work closely on the project without the expense of travelling to another state. They also loved that his vendors worked in the city, which meant it would benefit the community. They chose Feeney and arranged for him to fly to Nashville, Tennessee to photograph Manning in a conference room at the hanger to begin the process. His first meeting was a bit intimidating, but he got right to work as the Colts photographer snapped more than 400 photos.

Throughout the process of building the 9-foot-1 Manning figure, he worked with the Colts Equipment Manager, Ward and others to ensure that at every stage everyone was happy with the process and his progress. Like other projects he had worked on, he had a team of people involved, and when he was finished, he was confident Manning would like it but had to wait until the public unveiling of the project before he knew for sure.

On Oct. 9, around 25,000 people gathered in Indianapolis to participate in the unveiling. The unveiling ceremony included A-list dignitaries, including David Letterman, former Governor Mitch Daniels, and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, Colts owner Jim Irsay, former coach Tony Dungy and General Manager Bill Polian along with former players such as Jeff Saturday.

Feeney was beyond thrilled. He felt confident

that Peyton would like the statue because he had so many people that participated in the project along the way.

Peyton came to the podium, looked over at Feeney and said, “Good job” before delivering his speech.

Immediately after the ceremony, Manning, who had been all business at the meeting in Nashville, greeted him warmly and thanked him for his effort. He then asked if he could introduce him to his mom, Olivia Manning. She greeted Feeney warmly and said, “The profile is perfect from where I stand, if he didn’t have the number or name on the jersey, even if it was a silhouette in the middle of the night, just in that stance alone, I would know it was Peyton.”

Feeney knew that no one knows Peyton better than his mom, so to have her approval meant a lot.

FOR THE

HEAVY-HITTERS

The day concluded with a private reception.

“It was so cool, I felt like an A- lister,” Feeney says.

Before any of the accolades could go to his head, he knew his fire station pals would make sure to bring his feet back to earth. Still, Feeney has taken time to reflect on his success.

“Enjoy what you do because then it won’t feel like work,” he says. “Money is money until you work at a job you hate. I have two jobs, I’m not rich, but I love what I do.”

SANTA LOVES A GARDENER Writer / Carrie Petty

Gift giving can be hard. Don’t you think? But for the gardener or nature lover on your list, it is pretty simple. Make no mistake!

Gardeners are always thinking about growing. Give a gardener a new shovel, and she’s happy. I promise.

Christmas gifts for a gardener are always about quality and durability. Spend your money on the best tools, not a plastic handled, thin metal cheep-o. Your gardener will appreciate the quality of Felco Pruners or English made, wooden handled Haws Stainless Steel Garden Fork or Trowel. Gift sets are easy to find in the Gardening Centers around Indianapolis. Some items are already wrapped too. I love Allisonville Nursery, Altum Gardens and Habig, just to name a few.

These are great gifts and show your gardener that you get it. After all, gift giving is about understanding your recipient fully and showing your love through the well, thought-out gift that you have selected just for them.

When the clock strikes midnight on New Years 2018, a gardener will be dreaming of digging.

Planning tools and guides are some of the very best gifts for the gardening mindset. We are always looking for better ways to organize our seeds, sketch out our thoughts or study what grows best in the shade or full sun. Sketchbooks and quality drawing tools are a must. As well as reference books and growing guides A subscription to the Indiana Gardening Magazine is a gift that is, “Hyper Local” in the words of editor Michelle Walsh. It is a bi-monthly magazine, full of incredible local gardening content.

CREATE YOUR OWN GIFT BASKETS

You can use a great terra cotta pot and fill it to the brim with seeds, tools, a journal and some good gardening gloves. And don’t forget the sunscreen and hat in your gift basket. Keeping your loved one protected.

Gardening gloves with a packet of seeds tied up in ribbon make excellent hostess gifts for a gardening friend, (hint, hint!) Or they can make a great stocking stuffer too. Books and antiques for the garden are another great way to show your friends you understand their love for the green stuff. Make sure you sign the inside of any book. I have several that bring a smile to my face just remembering a friend’s gift. All a part of helping you, “Grow a Beautiful Life.”

Merry Christmas to all of my green thumb people out there, keep planting.

n Tom Crean’s final season as head basketball coach at Indiana University, almost 40 percent of the shots were taken by three players now on NBA rosters. On IU Basketball Media Day, reporters asked new head coach Archie Miller an obvious question: Where will the Hoosiers’ scoring come from in the 2017-2018 season?

“I think De'Ron Davis is a very gifted offensive player,” Miller says. “He has terrific footwork, amazing hands and great touch. I think he can score the ball for us. Robert Johnson is a proven scorer and will continue to do that, too.

“Juwan (Morgan) has to become more of an offensive-minded player from a production standpoint,” Miller adds.

“He's got great skills. I look at Devonte (Green) as a guy that can get his own shot, a guy that create for himself off of ball screens, and get to the basket and get to the free throw line. As I look at the shooting on our team, guys like Curtis (Jones), guys like Collin (Hartman), those guys have made shots.”

Offense has not been a problem at Indiana in recent years, but there were times when Indiana fans cringed on every defensive possession. Last season, the Hoosiers led the Big Ten in points scored but managed a conference record of only 7-11. Miller recognizes the need to improve defensively but avoided setting any expectations for a quick fix.

“We're building,” he says. “We're not as sophisticated as we're going to be, but I think from a base perspective, our team is learning what we're about, especially in the half-court.

“I think we'll be a team that hopefully can continue to really improve.

Sometimes it's going to take games.

These guys are going to have to experience it in a game, see it on film in a game, and that's kind of what's happened throughout my coaching career. You develop defensively as a team just as well as you do offensively.

This is probably as challenging of a schedule as anyone has ever faced. It's going to put a real tax on the bodies.

But our early schedule is going to provide a lot of information on what we're going to need to do to be successful through the course of the regular season in Big Ten play. You're playing against major teams who have really good players and great coaches.

I don't expect on day one we're going to be the steel curtain, so to speak, but I think we're going to be a team that prides ourselves on that. Our guys know that and individual defenders will improve just like they do on offense.

“But we're sticking to the script,” Miller adds. “I think from our practice perspective right now, we're going to try to be great on both, but we're spending an abnormal amount of time on it.”

With early season games scheduled against perennial powers like Duke, Louisville, Notre Dame and Michigan over a two-week stretch, Miller figures to learn quickly about how Indiana has to improve to compete in the Big Ten. “This is probably as challenging of a schedule as anyone has ever faced,” Miller says. “It's going to put a real tax on the bodies. But our early schedule is going to provide a lot of information on what we're going to need to do to be successful through the course of the regular season in Big Ten play. You're playing against major teams who have really good players and great coaches.

“We're going to figure out how we respond to those things,” Miller adds.

“I think it's going to teach us what we're going to need to be this year.”

The track-and-field students he coaches at Center Grove High School call him “The Tank,” and for good reason. Over the past several years, David Mroz has plowed through countless medical hurdles, one after another. Despite them all, he maintains an optimistic outlook and gratitude for life.

His indominable spirit was groomed in high school. Besides participating in track, football and basketball, Mroz also meticulously studied his dad’s “Muscle & Fitness” magazines.

“I thought it would be great to have massive muscles like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Lou Ferrigno,” says Mroz, who later competed in Strong Man competitions.

A week after the shoulder surgery, he developed an abscess, which had to be surgically removed. Then came more TIAs, this time leaving him blind in the left eye and numb in the right arm. He couldn’t catch the proverbial break. A month later, Mroz got a call from his doctor letting him know that he needed to see a vascular surgeon immediately.

“I had a track meet to coach the following day, so I figured I’d see the surgeon the day after, but my doctor said, ‘Nope. Now,’” recalls Mroz, 45 at the time but with a 99 percent blockage in both carotid arteries.

“I knew it was a heart attack,” Mroz says.

“You’re a walking time bomb,” the doctor told him.

After having both carotid arteries cleaned out in May, he described himself as Frankenstein.

In 2016, just before heading to his son’s football game, Mroz turned ghost grey and began sweating profusely.

He was right — 100 percent blockage required another stint. Like a page out of a horror movie, a week later while watching TV, his face started drooping and his right arm went numb. A brain scan revealed that he had suffered a series of seven strokes due to a blood clot.

HOLIDAY HELP BOONE COUNTY’S CARING CENTER HELPS FAMILIES IN NEED

Executive Director, Theresa Hanners has been with the Caring Center for 26 of the 40 years they have been in operation.

It is hard to imagine it, but one in every eight people living in Boone County are food insecure. These numbers are right in line with the national statistics that show that more than 12 percent of your fellow Boone County neighbors struggle to put food on the table. More than likely you may have passed someone at the bank, at your children’s school or even at the grocery store today and not even realized it.

The Caring Center, located in Lebanon, is committed to create awareness that they are here to serve all residents of Boone County all year long. The organization is multifaceted in their approach, offering support and programs to help their clients become self-sufficient. And now more than ever, they are seeking your support.

The “Giving Tree” is a program that is designed to help teens receive Christmas gifts, which they hand to the parents with the Christmas meal along with wrapping paper so that they can wrap it at home. The other program The Caring Center provides is a “FUN PAK”, which stands for Families United Now – Parents and Kids. The FUN PAK program gives families the opportunity to put a package together to help another family create memories. These custom-designed packs are personalized so that the family has treats and activities that match their family. Both of these programs make a huge difference, and they need these donations soon.

With the holidays fast approaching, there are many ways that you can get involved to support The Caring Center. Hanners understands that not everyone is able to give financially or even give their time, but she says there are other ways to help.

Owner Jacqueline Bols’ Finley Creek Vineyards is set on five acres of gardens.

RUSTIC ROMANCE

FINLEY CREEK VINEYARDS BRINGS FIRST-CLASS VENUE TO ZIONSVILLE Writer / Matt Keating Photographer / Brian Brosmer

When Jacqueline Bols started Finley Creek Vineyards, 795 S. US 421, Zionsville, she wanted to create an ideal place for romantic country weddings and special occasions.

One look at the private event venue tells guests she successfully fulfilled her vision.

Finley Creek Vineyards offers an authentic barn and garden venue that epitomizes rural simplicity, and yet offers all the luxurious and modern features and style you would expect from a first-class venue.

It’s a beautiful place with a lot of options for guests.

“I want to offer a great, fun evening, hopefully with a level of sophistication,” Bols says. “It’s a great, sustainable venue with a focus on local foods and clean eating.”

The result is the clean, luxurious chic feel of a first-class venue but with plenty of warmth and charm. We think of the look as ‘sustainability with a sense of refinement.’

Bols says Finley Creek Vineyards is a haven of tranquility with contemporary features.

The versatile space for up to 300 guests provides a light and airy setting from an intimate group to a large gathering.

“Nestled in our private vineyard, you will find the flowering wedding arbor where an outdoor wedding ceremony can be held under our gazebo.”

“We discovered a lovely old restaurant and antique market in Zionsville and completely re-outfitted it,” she says. “The main interior party room walls have been covered with reclaimed rustic barn wood and are juxtaposed with large wrought iron crystal chandeliers hanging from the rafters.

Finley Creek Vineyards is set on five acres of gardens with a choice of Al Fresco dining under the stars or dinner inside the beautifully remodeled barn with reclaimed wood.

The outside of Finley Creek Vineyards has rustic, cedar and pine porch tables hand made in Southern Indiana.

“There is also a lovely patio and pergola, perfect for weddings,” Bols says. “Next spring, there will be vegetable and flower gardens around the ground, as well as grape vines in our planned vineyard.”

In the spring, guests will be able to enjoy Bols’ organic sustainable vegetable gardens and private vineyard during daytime events.

In addition to owning Finley Creek Vineyards, Bols also owns Jacquie’s Gourmet Catering and Café, 9840 N. Michigan Road, Carmel, a highly successful business with delicious food.

Bols first got started in the restaurant business when she was 14 years old.

“I worked on private mega yachts for 12 years as a chef,” she says. “I moved to Indianapolis for a family as a private chef.

I started dinner parties and moved to larger events.”

Bols started her culinary education at Southampton University in England.

After graduating, she left for the French and Italian Riviera to begin her career as a Chef on private yachts.

She has executed remarkable events with creative menus, service and quality. She has even served such popular personalities as Oprah Winfrey, Sean Connery, Elizabeth Hurley, Kevin Costner, Tommy Hilfiger and more.

During her career, she has been awarded the Charles Heidsieck award of Culinary Excellence.

In 2001, she launched Jacquie’s Gourmet Catering, which brings a modern French cuisine with fresh ingredients.

317-222-1313 atZionsville.com / DECEMBER 2017 / ZIONSVILLE MAGAZINE / 33

The business has flourished since it was opened and also has a café.

“I’m a people person with a very pleasing personality and always wanted a restaurant to have instant gratification with the food and service,” Bols says. “I didn’t want an evening restaurant I would be tied to because of children.”

In a world of change, our focus is steadfast.

The café features a variety of breakfast favorites and ideal lunches. The real gem at the restaurant is a hand-crafted yogurt parfait. The lunch menu is robust with innovative twists on familiar favorites.

Gourmet salads, homemade soup with focaccia bread, and a favorite: The Smoked Turkey-Bruge Apple sandwich with a lemon-bar finish.

Jacquie’s Gourmet Catering will create meals at Finley Creek Vineyards from much of the sustainable foods grown in Jacquie’s gardens in their state-of-the-art kitchen.

“We’ll continue to source from other Indiana farms, ranches and gardens too, of course, but always as organically and locally as possible,” Bols says.

Bols and the staff plan to serve whatever the client desires, “as well as our house wines. We will not be bottling anything for a couple of years, but when I do, I want to focus on Port.”

FLAP-JACKS PANCAKE HOUSE SERVES UP FRESH FOOD WITH GREAT SERVICE Writer / Matt Keating Photographer / Brian Brosmer

Doris Maples, co-owner of Flap-Jacks Pancake House, 67051 Whitestown Parkway, Zionsville, says the secret to Flap-Jacks success is outstanding customer service.

“The local Zionsville community has been our bread and butter,” Doris says. “We have received a lot of business from little leagues, church groups and soccer programs. People have really supported us, and we do our best to offer customer service and food they won’t forget. We have really been able to meet such a great group of people that gave become long-time friends.”

Doris and her husband, Johnny, are the working owners of the Flap-Jacks Pancake

“It’s a great franchise,” Doris says. “There has always been a real family atmosphere.

They include The Country Fried Steak Skillet, The Western Skillet and The Hungryman Skillet.

Some of the entrees include chicken tenders with fries, grilled pork chops with mashed potatoes and the veggie of the day, fish and chips and a spinach pie with a Greek salad.

“There really is something here for everyone,” Doris says.

Christmas in the Village ZIONSVILLE TRADITION CONTINUES THROUGH DEC. 23 Writer / Matt Keating Photography provided by Zionsville Chamber of Commerce

Christmas in the Village, an annual Zionsville tradition that dates all the way back to 1852, will again be filled this year with a wide variety of family fun.

Tracy Phillips, executive director of Zionsville Chamber of Commerce, says Christmas in the Village has been so successful because it’s a family tradition.

“With so many events celebrating the season, and so little time for busy families, what Zionsville brings to the mix is authenticity,” Phillips says. “What we have on Main Street and beyond are oldfashioned, family experiences – horsedrawn carriage rides, carolers strolling down the streets and small business owners enticing visitors in with their own brand of homespun charm.”

Phillips noted that Christmas in the Village has grown from a one weekend parade and event to an experience that now spans four weekends from November 25 until December 23.

“On Thursday nights, we will offer a Ladies Night, a Christmas Crawl and the ‘Last Dash’ shopping events, where our shops and restaurants are open late, accommodating patron’s busy schedules,” Phillips says.

Philips’ favorite tradition is seeing Santa.

“We were so grateful to have Santa come down from the North Pole and kick off the Christmas in the Village season at our parade and tree lighting ceremony on Nov. 25,” she says. “Then, he’s kind enough to take time away from his workshop to be in Zionsville on Saturdays from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and on Sundays from noon to 3 p.m. the first three weekends of December.

“Of course, he can navigate any weather, but last year he realized it was putting children and families at risk if he came to visit us in severe weather. We ask that families check the Zionsville Chamber Facebook page before visiting Santa’s house at Cedar and Main Street to make sure Santa is there to greet you.”

Several elements within the month-long festival are new this year.

“Painting rocks and hiding them is a fun trend right now,” Phillips says. “We will have stations for kids to get creative on December 3 and December 17. “When Santa has to head back up to the north pole right before Christmas, we will host a reindeer feeding station at Santa’s house on Saturday, December 23. Kids can prepare chow for Santa’s reindeer that day and take it home to leave out for them on Christmas Eve.”
