Convergence Technology puts all the information you use right on your lap(top), PDA or web-enabled cell phone

The Internet in Your Pocket ccording to a new report from the Pew Research Internet & American Life Project Survey, a third of Internet users have accessed information wirelessly at home, at work, or while “out and about.”

Wireless devices with which people have logged onto the Internet include laptop computers, PDAs, web-enabled cell phones and smartphones (i.e., BlackBerrys, Treos). The Pew survey results indicated that a quarter of all Internet users have a cell phone that connects to the internet wirelessly; one in eight use PDAs to make that wireless connection. Some 40 percent of Internet users under age 30 who connect to the Internet via laptop computer do so wirelessly; another 40 percent use their web-enabled cell phones; and 17 percent use wireless PDAs.

The “New Convergence” 2007 At the 2007 Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show, Gary Shapiro, president and CEO of the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), spoke about the “new convergence” taking place, forecasting that the consumer electronics industry will soar to $155 billion in 2007. “Everything is becoming digital and everything with a digital heartbeat will get connected,” said Ed Zander, president and CEO of Motorola. “It truly is the Internet in your pocket.”

ABI Research found that by 2011, some 250 million users will be making and receiving phone calls over converged fixed-mobile networks and access points — around 10 percent of households and 8 percent of enterprises. In 2006, North America achieved 93.2 percent wireless subscriber penetration. An Internet Week survey found that traffic, gas prices and irritation with waiting in line are driving consumers to spend more time shopping online than ever before. Another report indicates that 87 percent of consumers research products online prior to making a purchase. Consistently growing numbers of older adult consumers are regularly buying products online. One in 10 consumers internationally now buys products and services through their cell phones. The onset of greater imaging capabilities through cell phones and other wireless handhelds will also boost sales. Nokia’s new Ad Service will help advertisers target messages through mobile services and applications.

Converged communcations, mobile media, wireless, WiFi, WAP — the runaway train hurdling through the digital frontier shows no signs of slowing down; marketers are jumping on board at every stop.

A Nokia spokesman noted that, “as advertisers struggle to reach personalized targeting with traditional media such as print and TV, mobile advertising is becoming an increasingly attractive channel for brands.”

The World is Going Mobile

Technology is so advanced that, as the CEO of Acuity Mobile points out, ads can be delivered instantly to web-enabled cell phone users who have agreed to accept them, when and where they expect. A consumer who has approved mobile ads from Jiffy Lube, for example, will receive one as he’s approaching a participating location — AND let him know if he’s due for an oil change!

The 24/7, worldwide connectivity available through these new technologies reiterates what we already know: we’re going mobile in almost every aspect of their lives. Consumers are spending less time with traditional media; businesses are seeking ways to reach those consumers through new media. For example, Gen Y young adults, (ages 18-26) spend 25 percent less time watching TV than Gen X, and 50 percent less time than Baby Boomers. It’s predicted that well over $500 billion LESS will be spent on network television advertising this year.

The availability of such tools will spur greater investment in new convergence marketing media, and likely grow beyond the dollars invested in traditional media as these new communications platforms and technologies emerge.

Reaching Target Markets Identifying and researching target audiences is, and has been since the inception of commerce and trade, the bottom-line goal of successful marketing. Convergence technology allows marketers to deliver their sales messages to tightly targeted niche markets and core consumer clusters across multiple media platforms, much more cost effectively than traditional media ever could. Even before the product rollout and ad campaign begin, research in the form of surveys, product evaluation, even focus

groups — all can be conducted in a short period of time with immediate, measurable results through converged communication. Traditional media may languish to some extent in the coming years, but the ad dollars it generated aren’t going away. The media conglomerates are pouring billions of dollars into new media to position themselves in a world of converging and converged communications.

COMMUNITIES

“Unspoiled, rich, deeply rooted and full of potential” are some of the characteristics resident Kelly Frank offers when describing Boone County—a dynamic Hoosier community with a welcoming attitude for its future and a rich love for its past.

While Boone County is experiencing tremendous growth, it has worked diligently to craft a plan that will welcome imminent future growth and development, all the while maintaining its charming rural character and peaceful lifestyle.

The county’s past stretches far back to the establishment of its first settlement, at Thorntown, around the year 1720. A second settlement was created near Thorntown in 1827, with a third, bearing the name Jamestown, founded in 1829. It was in this year an act of legislation was passed in order to organize Boone County. The new county, named for frontiersman Daniel Boone, was officially established on April 1, 1830, with a population of 622.

ADVANCE

Jamestown was the original selection for the county seat, but a state law called for a county seat to be positioned within two miles of the heart of the county. This new ruling led to the establishment of a new site, Lebanon, which became the county seat in 1833. Between 1830 and 1840, Boone County’s population surged, ultimately reaching 8,121. This significant influx was most likely attributed to the county’s rich soils and quality timber, accompanied by the continuation of the Madison and Indianapolis Railroad to Lafayette through the area. The growth in population persisted until 1890, when it hit 26,572. Over the next 70 years, this statistic remained constant, but by 1960, it was again on the rise—and still is to this day. In fact, today Boone County is home to well over 53,000 residents—a number expected to surpass 60,000 by 2020.

The Town of Advance may be a small one, but it is packed with personality. Just about 600 residents call this town home and enjoy all it has to offer. Each year it is host to the Advance Labor Day Festival sponsored by the Advance Volunteer Fire Department. Advance Community Park, a relatively new addition to the area, comprises a children’s play area, a half-mile fitness trail and a new skate park that was officially opened to the public in August 2008. Another guardian to the children of the town is the Western Boone Community Schools. Simply, Advance is looking to further progress as a town and grow into its future with thoughtfulness.

JAMESTOWN www.jamestownin.com The town of Jamestown, fondly referred to as “Jimtown” by its longtime residents, was established in 1830. The modest community of around 950 residents enjoys a location within the southern portion of Jackson Township, on the west bank of the Eel River. This familyfriendly locale also provides Jamestown quick access to nearby Interstate 74 and several state routes, along with an abundance of outstanding amenities through larger neighboring cities. The town is well-served by the educational excellence of the Western Boone

Community School Corporation and is within one hour of outstanding institutions of higher learning. Adding to the landscape of Jamestown are the recreational diversions afforded through Downtown Park featuring a picnic area, a basketball court and playground equipment and the 16-acre Pleasant Acres Nature Park, which boasts a great trail system and opportunities for picnicking. The Tomahawk Golf Course is just a half-mile outside of Jamestown, affording golfers excellent chances for golf play.

THORNTOWN www.bccn.boone.in.us/thorntown This welcoming Hoosier town is home to more than 1,500 residents who find that there is always a familiar, friendly face around the corner. Thorntown, like much of Boone County, has remained unspoiled by commercial development, “thus the character and architecture of the community is much like it has always been,” says Kelly Frank. “A Comprehensive Plan is on the table for Thorntown, giving residents an opportunity to participate in the vision of the Thorntown community and further setting Thorntown apart from other communities.” Visitors to this amiable little town are pleasantly surprised by the sites to see, stores to shop, and history and culture to experience. Experience the nightlife at Mel’s Drive-In Theater, one of the oldest drive-ins in the state, or take a walk on the Thorntown Keewasakee Trail, a segment of the Farm Heritage Trail System. Tom Johnson Park’s amenities include horseshoe pits, picnic facilities, little league baseball diamonds and a playground, while the Lions Depot Park hosts many festivals, community events, public programs and more.

LEBANON www.cityoflebanon.org Standing as one of the largest communities in Boone County, and as the county seat, Lebanon is home to 16,000 people and a diverse economy characterized by agriculture, manufacturing, service and a developing high-tech industry. The city is ideally situated at the crossroads of two state highways and near four interchanges on Interstate 65—all of which offer easy commuting in and out of the area. A solid public education system through the Lebanon Community School Corporation; advanced medical care at Witham Memorial Hospital; and exceptional recreation through several park sites, notably the 40-acre Memorial Park and the 50-acre Abner Longley Park, only add to the attractive traits of Lebanon—aptly called “The Friendly City.” “Lebanon’s small-town atmosphere offers a friendly, less expensive way to live and a relaxed alternative to living in the big city,” says Darlene Anderson, a local resident and Boone County Historical Society board member. “This atmosphere and a combination of community and family values is the glue that combines the sense of ownership and pride in our community.”

Many historical treasures are discovered while walking the streets of Thorntown, from the bygone-era structures reflecting the architecture of the late 1800s to the long-time residents bursting with stories of the past. The Thorntown Heritage Museum is a fantastic resource, as it’s brimming with an extensive collection of artifacts that tell the story of early residents. President Lincoln’s train stopped in Thorntown in 1860, and his funeral train passed by, leading the Thorntown Community Organization to apply for an Historical Marker for the location. The historic E.R. Jacques building has hosted numerous industries in its 130-plus year history, serving as a fur trading post, a cheese factory, a garment factory and now as a home for the Sugar Creek Art Center. Adding to the historical lore of Thorntown is Anson Mills, a native son of Thorntown, born in 1834. This soldier (he fought in the Civil War and the Indian Wars), inventor (he invented a woven cartridge belt for carrying ammunition that is still used to this day), and explorer (he planned out the city of El Paso, Texas) played a significant role in Thorntown. Mills planned and financed a new water and sewage system for the town in 1909, built a large fountain in the middle of Market and Main Street, and gave two drinking fountains to the people—one of which remains in the garden east of the Thorntown Heritage Museum.

The community, which most likely received its name from the tall hickory trees that reminded County Commissioners of the Bible’s “Cedars of Lebanon,” was officially established on April 30, 1830, and was designated the county seat in 1833. A two-story brick courthouse was constructed in 1839 and replaced in 1856. This courthouse stood until 1909 and was ultimately leveled in order to accommodate the current structure—completed in 1911. This historic building is a true testament to Lebanon’s early innovation, as it features large columns believed to be the largest of their kind in the world, the second-largest stained glass dome in the state and eight rare Hahl pneumatically calibrated clocks. Further historical points of interest discovered in Lebanon include the Lebanon Public Library (a Carnegie Library opened in 1908); the Andrew B. Van Huys True-Circular Barn (circa 1912-1913); the Cragun House (home to the Boone County Historical Society); and Lebanon Memorial Park, a site dedicated to the veterans of World War I.

government, the highly rated Zionsville Community School Corporation, Witham Health Services and St. Vincent Health. The Sullivan Munce Cultural Center, the Off-Main Street Players and one of the largest toy museums in the country are located here, as are a number of parks featuring such amenities as trails, equestrian opportunities, athletic fields, playground equipment and more. “Zionsville is a great place to raise a family or retire,” explains Marilyn Martin from the Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Public Library. “The community is set in a culture that boasts a warm, welcoming atmosphere.” Landa Matthews, Managing Broker with F.C. Tucker Company, agrees, adding, “Bottom line, the lifestyle of Zionsville is complemented by good, caring people who are willing to donate time and effort to many worthy causes.”

WHITESTOWN Located directly off I-65, the Town of Whitestown is experiencing unprecedented growth and development. In fact, the Indiana Business Research Center lists Whitestown as one of the fastestgrowing communities in the state, exhibiting a growth rate of 51 percent. And it’s no wonder, with the presence of the new Anson development and a Main Street Program led by high-performing members dedicated to the revitalization of Whitestown. “There is a wealth of talent, energy and expertise residing throughout the extended community, and we anticipate this knowledge and talent base to continue to grow over the next 20 or so years,” says Susan Austin, Whitestown Town Council member. “As the Whitestown residents become more active in the community, Boone County benefits from the same talents and expertise, breathing new life into growing the future for us all.” Business remains strong, as residents continue to demonstrate their entrepreneurial spirit. New and established businesses come together, forming a true partnership that grows stronger each day. Recreation is also a leading component in Whitestown, thanks to an active Parks and Recreation Department. The Department held their first annual 5k walk/run on October 4, 2008. The 11.2-acre Whitestown Lions Club Park is now home to many amenities and plays host to a number of events and programs each year. The community has been working to rejuvenate and modernize the park’s facilities. From cleaning up the landscape and renovating buildings to installing new playground equipment and furnishing the ground with over a dozen new picnic tables, there is still more to tackle. In addition, avid polo players will find a perfect opportunity to compete at the Hickory Hall Polo Club. Whitestown is evolving and developing, increasing in residents every year. “Whitestown is truly experiencing a rebirth like no other town in Indiana has to date. Growth is coming to Whitestown, as well as emerging from existing residents,” says Austin. “Embracing ‘urban development’ concepts, Whitestown is posted to showcase how residents will work, play and shop locally.”

ZIONSVILLE www.zionsville-in.gov Just 20 minutes northwest of downtown Indianapolis, the tight-knit community of Zionsville enjoys the benefits of all the services of a major metropolitan area, while successfully maintaining its distinct small-town charm. The upscale town of more than 12,000 takes pride in its historic essence, which is noted through its lovely brick Main Street, attractive homes and friendly neighborhoods—all the while taking advantage of high-quality resources through the town

12 Boone County Chamber of Commerce Lifestyle Magazine™

The town’s business sector is strong and growing—an aspect that is evidenced through Zionsville recently being ranked among the best towns to open a business in the U.S. by Fortune magazine in its April 2008 issue. Central to the town’s economic success is its unique brick Main Street, recognized as one of the very few remaining main streets of its kind in the country. Dozens of shops line the main street, representing everything from upscale boutiques to vintage antique stores. Delightful restaurants and quaint cafes are nestled between these shops, offering an all-round shopping and dining experience for patrons. “Whether you’re in the village and within walking distance of Zionsville’s brick Main Street, or in one of the beautiful neighborhoods that surround it, the quality of life here is outstanding,” says Ray Cortopassi, Executive Director of the Zionsville Chamber of Commerce. “Zionsville, and the rest of Boone County, possesses the authenticity that makes this an attractive destination and place to live.”

cargo come through IND annually. In addition to the 11 passenger carriers offering 155 daily departures to 37 nonstop destinations, IND is home to the second-largest Federal Express hub in the world and ranks as the nation’s eighth-largest cargo facility. Local public transportation is available through the Boone Area Transit System (BATS), a service that was created for all Boone County residents. “Statistics show there is a great need for public transportation in Boone County, as in many counties around the state,” says Cindy Elliott, Director of Transportation Services at Boone County Senior Services, Inc. “For the elderly, it is a way for them to continue to remain independent in their own homes. As for the rest of the population, there are those without vehicles or drivers licenses that need to get to work, the grocery store, child care centers, schools, etc.” BATS, comprised of 15 cars and vans, operates Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

ordering the Indianapolis metropolitan area—and a quick 20-minute drive from the heart of the city—Boone County enjoys a tranquil lifestyle removed from the hustle and bustle of big-city life. This Central Indiana county boasts of a location within a one-day drive of approximately 75 percent of the country. This strategic location, coupled with access to major arterial roadways, rail lines and air service, has continued to be a major draw for prospective residents and businesses. The availability of several interstates, highways and state roads make convenience of travel a major asset in Boone County. Links to nearby major interstates allow residents throughout Boone County easy access to Indianapolis and beyond. Among the notable thoroughfares winding in and closely around the communities of Boone County are I-74, I-65 and U.S. 421. While corporate flight and general aviation services are provided through Boone County-based Indianapolis Executive Airport, both business and commercial air service to destinations across the globe are accessible at the new Indianapolis International Airport (IND). Opened in November 2008, the $1.1 billion airport is the result of more than 30 years of planning and today stands as

one of the first U.S. airports built and opened since the 9/11 attacks. On average, approximately 8.15 million domestic and international passengers and 1.1 million tons of

Instituted in November 2004, Central Indiana Commuter Services (CICS) has become an integral voice in the region when it comes to the promotion of alternative modes of transportation. Carpooling, vanpooling, bus use, biking and walking are among the options encouraged by CICS. This is a federally funded program, therefore rendering services free of charge. CICS offers carpool and vanpool matching services, the Emergency Ride Home program, and assistance for employers looking to incorporate a carpooling/vanpooling program for employees. “About 7,600 Central Indiana commuters in a nine-county area are either already using an alternative mode of transportation or seeking out other people to carpool to work with,” explains Andrew McGee, Outreach Representative from CICS. “This service helps people save money on their commute, reduces their stress level, and allows them to take part in helping reduce congestion and air pollution.”

The burgeoning Indianapolis Executive Airport (IEA), located just northeast of Zionsville in eastern Boone County, stands as one of Indiana’s oldest airports, originally opening its doors in the early 1950s as Terry Airport. Over the years, as Boone County and its closely surrounding areas have experienced a surge in growth, the demand for general aviation services escalated as well—a demand IEA has prepared itself for.

In 2000, IEA welcomed Dan and Andrea (Andi) Montgomery of Montgomery Aviation to serve as its full-service Fixed Base Operator (FBO). The two business partners have brought growth and innovation to the fledgling airport, expanding the airport from five employees to more than 40, and from 30 based aircraft to more than 100. IEA has become a major component for the local economy, seeing more than 40,000 arrivals and departures each year and contributing approximately $42 million to the area’s economy.

The full-service airport prides itself on offering the finest services that you can’t find in a larger commercial airport. IEA tends to the needs of both the general public and numerous area companies, a number of which fly out anywhere from two to three times a week. While many utilize the airport’s hangar services, which include smaller hangars for light aircraft and two larger heated hangar spaces for large corporate jets and twin-engine aircraft, IEA also offers charter services through Solutions Air Charter, one of the newest additions to its list of aviation services. Montgomery Aviation’s “Eagle Flyers” flight school, a Cesna Pilot Center, offers the opportunity to obtain a private pilot’s license, as well as advanced ratings. The airport is equipped with an FAA Certified Major Repair Station and provides full concierge services, including ground transportation, accommodations, catering and quick-turn service. In addition, Montgomery Aviation partners with the area’s Visitors’ and Convention bureaus in order to accommodate those wanting to visit the communities of Boone County and beyond. The airport has recently undergone renovation, opening a new terminal in late 2005 and, more recently, incorporated a new lobby, a flight planning center, a front office, conference rooms and corporate offices. Also part of the updates was the inclusion of a new, all-weather arrival and departure canopy, the only one of its kind in the Midwest. Plans for future additions are also in the making. Montgomery is looking to extend the 5,500-foot runway by about 1,500 feet. On top of providing unmatched advantages to the economic impact of Boone County, Montgomery Aviation plays a significant role in the general community. Every year, the FBO sponsors and/or hosts a number of events benefiting local nonprofit organizations, including fly-ins for the Indiana Down Syndrome Foundation; the Jackson Center; the Commemorative Air Force; the Indiana Autism Society; and a variety of community foundations such as Helping Her Heal, Angel Flights, Pet Rescue, the Humane Society, AMVETS, Witham Hospital, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts—among many others. www.montgomeryaviation.net

A TOWN WITHIN A CITY: ULEN A graduate of Lebanon High School, Henry Ulen was a self-made man who began working at a printing press; became a lawyer; and eventually ventured into engineering on a grand scale, building vast tunnels through the Appalachian Mountains in the 1920s. Traveling back and forth between Chicago and New York, he would stop by Lebanon whenever he had the opportunity, and upon hearing the locals were hoping to build a golf course in the countryside, Ulen remarked, “If you build your course in the town, I’ll build you a clubhouse so you don’t have to change in the cornfields!”

one-bath bungalow,” explains Dale Smith, a Lebanon resident and manager of RE/MAX Countryside. From its founding in 1852, Zionsville has been a warm and inviting place to call home. The centerpiece of the community is “The Village,” with its brick main street flanked by unique shops and quaint historic homes. “The Village has a very rich mix of architectural styles and historical homes, many of which have been renovated and expanded upon over the years,” explains Ed Mitro, Zionsville Town Manager. “We have a lot of new subdivisions, but when most people think of Zionsville, the quaint village in the old part of town comes to mind.” Planned communities and subdivisions have been, and continue to be, developed by leading national and local builders/

developers such as Beezer, Pulte, Ryland and Estridge. With a nod to the kind of design and planning that makes Zionsville’s Village so attractive, nearby Stonegate offers its residents many of the same kinds of benefits. This splendid planned subdivision offers a variety of architectural styles, ranging in price from $400,000 up through $1 million. Stonegate’s stately homes line the pedestrian-friendly, tree-lined streets, and the nearby schools, parks, community center and restaurants offer places for neighbors to gather. Some of Zionsville’s older, well-established neighborhoods include Colony Woods, Raintree and Austin Oaks, while its newest addition is Oldfields On Hunt Club. Oldfields On Hunt Club will feature the best of city and country living, with a great location off Hunt Club Road. Lots begin in the $270,000s and work up from there, with minimum building requirements starting at 4,000 square feet for a ranch and 4,500 square feet for a two-story home. “This will be a breathtaking community of custom home sites nestled in the equestrian corridor of Zionsville,” says Smith. One of the biggest impacts on the county is the 1,700-acre, mixed-use Anson community being developed by Duke Realty

They took him up on his offer, and in 1924, Ulen had the clubhouse built for what would eventually become Ulen Country Club. Soon, he began developing the land adjacent to the course, building homes for himself and his colleagues. Ulen, a bit of an eccentric, had his own home built secretly to tantalize curious town folk. “He actually built a barn around his house while it was being built so nobody could see it until it was completed,” relates Curtis Wood, General Manager of Ulen Country Club. The historical neighborhood boasts beautiful stately homes from the 1920s and beyond and is actually an incorporated town with its own governing body.

completion, Walker Farms will fill 384 acres of Whitestown with homes. Beezer is one of the largest tract builders in the nation and the developer of the project, which showcases a mix of three-bedroom, twobath, two-car garage ranch-style homes in the lower $100,000s and giant two-story homes with three-car garages starting in the $250,000s. “The town is eager to grow, and grow it will with its location close to Anson and the interstate, as well as Lebanon and Zionsville,” explains Smith.

Lebanon offers plenty of fine homes under $100,000, with upper-end real estate starting at $200,000 and up. The county seat features such prominent neighborhoods as Brendanwood, Golfside at Ulen, the Morningside Addition and Chadwick Village, with pricing ranging from the $150,000s to the $250,000s. At higher

prices, the architectural styles of these homes begin to vary and lots tend to be larger. “With 3.5 exits off I-65 leading to Lebanon, plus its proximity to Indianapolis and Lafayette and a well-established hometown feel, it has the potential to become one of the finest small towns in the Midwest,” says Smith. When traveling the countryside of Thorntown, one will discover a wealth of new and older homes of all shapes and sizes—and the beauty of this portion of the county is the envy of surrounding areas. Notably, people will come across many twostory, all-brick Italianate-style homes that were built in the 1860s. “When you see these homes, up in the attics and down in the basements and see the high ceilings, woodwork, flooring, transoms and windows, a deep sense of history overwhelms you,” says Smith. The biggest demand for housing in Boone County is, without a doubt, at the entry level, “and the price parameters for entrylevel homes are certainly different, depending on what part of Boone they are located,” says Smith.

Zionsville is home to Royal Run, the most affordable subdivision in town with a varied range of styles and prices, from the low $100,000s into the $200,000s. Zionsville also has the Cobblestone Lakes subdivision, featuring large, well-adorned homes complete with H E AT I N G COOLING ponds, a clubhouse and plenty of curb Serving Lebanon & Boone County Since 1950 appeal.

He continues, saying, “In Lebanon, Prairie Heights, Mar Lee Manor, Rolling Meadows, Northfield Addition, Park Place, Hickory Meadows and Clear Vista come to mind where excellent entry-level housing is available. In addition, the older sections of town, not in a subdivision, also provide good entry-level housing in abundance.” Lebanon is bursting with entry-level housing, ranging from the $70,000s to the $125,000s. Other Boone County communities offer plenty of entry-level housing as well, though the larger land sizes of Lebanon and Zionsville provide a larger inventory of homes. The diverse residential real estate market of the Boone County region certainly reflects its deep historical roots and charm, while simultaneously embracing its focus on the future. Growth and development have remained thoughtful and steady over its 150-year history in the Hoosier state—a characteristic that is sure to remain well into the coming years.

Boone County Chamber of Commerce Lifestyle Magazine™ 19

Nestled between northwest Indianapolis and Zionsville in southern Boone County is Anson, a 1,700-acre mixed-use community in the process of being developed by Duke Realty Corporation. Harkening back to the kind of entrepreneurial spirit shown by its namesake, Anson Mills, Duke’s immense development melds new and innovative planning ideas with a nod to the traditions for which the county is known. Headquartered in Indianapolis and one of the nation’s largest publicly traded office and industrial real estate companies, Duke Realty Corporation saw the Anson property as a natural extension of its development history in Indianapolis. Duke’s first massive industrial complex began in Indianapolis in 1972, and its more recent development, Lebanon Business Park, just to the north of the Anson property solidified Duke’s position in the highly desirable Indianapolis-Chicago corridor along I-65. The site allowed Duke the unique opportunity to develop its core commercial product types in a master-planned community along with residential, retail and medical uses connected by miles of trails and acres of green space and lakes. And it set the stage for future Boone County development along the I-65 corridor. The Anson community is named for Anson Mills, a Boone County native who grew up in

nearby Thorntown. The vision for Anson was founded on the concepts of new urbanism and placemaking. New urbanism incorporates a number of design principles like mixed uses, narrower street grids, sidewalks and trails that promote walkable communities where people can live, work, shop and play. Duke applied this innovative concept with the objective of creating an urban lifestyle in a sustainable and convenient location while providing solutions to rising oil prices and energy costs associated with the depletion of the world’s natural resources.

Employment opportunities within the community can minimize the need for long commutes and help make the community both environmentally and economically sustainable. Placemaking principles are employed, mainly through hardscaping and

20 Boone County Chamber of Commerce Lifestyle Magazine™

landscaping, to craft a pleasurable community with civic gathering places, both small and large. Just as Anson Mills embraced the future while appreciating the past, those involved in Anson’s creation are honoring past stewards of the Anson land. Many of the streets and public spaces are to be named for pioneering families and county notables. An example is Willey Square, named for former nearby residents Carroll and Mary Willey, who, over several decades, opened their Whitestown home to over 300 foster children. From the project’s early beginning in 2004, Duke representatives worked with county officials, community representatives, and nearby residents and business owners to create a community that would enhance not only the development itself, but the surrounding community. Part of that approach included innovative approaches to planning and zoning that includes flexibility not typically embraced. “That’s sort of the beauty of having one developer develop coupled with a flexible zoning plan unit,” explains Tom Dickey, Anson VP and General Manager, “because we can adapt the plan, with county and city approval, but we have the right to adjust for market changes.” To the north, AllPoints at Anson (the 650 acres that make up the light industrial/ distribution portion of Anson that Duke

owns in a 50/50 joint venture with Browning Investments) already boasts major employers Amazon.com, Medco Health Solutions, ASI Limited and CEVA Logistics. “Those projects are either up and running or were under construction before the market issues in real estate and the overall economy,” says Dickey, “and we have been able to continue to talk about job growth, new people in the community, new shoppers and a need for housing.”

history dates back to the early 1970s. Hansen & Horn has a reputation for creating quality homes with innovative design features backed by strong warranties. Ward Horn and his son, Steven, embrace the traditional neighborhood design (TND) parameters Anson features homes with tucked away rear-loading garages and welcoming front porches situated among a sprinkling of pocket parks and gathering places where kids play and families and friends spend time together.

Growth and demand have remained steady and Duke plans to break ground on a 540,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art warehouse situated across the street from Amazon.com’s facility in the coming months.

“We are excited about our relationship with Duke to help build one of the most progressive communities in Indiana,” says Ward Horn, founder of Hansen & Horn. “This is a great opportunity to build a neighborhood that has a classic hometown feel with homes that have originality and character.”

Anson has not been immune from the challenges that face the overall real estate and credit markets, but location and the masterplanned amenities that Anson offers have helped them weather the storm. In the fall of 2007, apartment developers Flaherty and Collins opened the blvd apartments and national developer Ryland began marketing an enhanced townhome project. Despite a downturn in the residential market, both communities have flourished. In the summer of 2008, Duke chose local builder Hansen & Horn to build and develop single-family homes for families of all sizes in the Anson community. Like Duke, Hansen & Horn is an Indianapolis-based builder whose

Soon, Anson’s custom home sites will also be available to homebuyers wanting to create an even more unique home. Anson’s architectural review board will assure the homes maintain the integrity of the community while allowing for individual expression—whether built by Hansen & Horn’s custom division or a buyer’s own builder. “Unlike many of today’s newer housing projects, Anson is building a unique community of distinctive homes whose architecture and value will stand the test of time,” says Cindy Meskauskas, a real estate agent with the Zionsville office of the F.C. Tucker Company.

Shopping and service opportunities are emerging in Anson as well. CVS and Lowe’s flank The Marketplace at Anson, a center that includes an Arthur Murray Dance Studio, several local eateries, independent stores, banks and personal care services. Across the street, a more than 40,000-square-foot medical office building is under construction, and an office building, a hotel, a supermarket and an early childhood development center have closed on land and are in various stages of the planning and zoning process. The foundation has been laid for the completion of the Anson community over a projected 15-year build-out—a community where families and workers will enjoy an interconnected place to live, work, shop and play.

notably leading employers such as Case New Holland and Pearson Education. “The Lebanon Business Park currently ranks in the top 10 of the largest industrial parks in Central Indiana,” notes Dax Norton, Executive Director of the Boone County Economic Development Corporation.

The newest addition to the business landscape of Boone County is the more than 1,700-acre mixed-use Anson development. AllPoints at Anson is home to leading businesses such as Amazon.com, Medco and ASI Limited. Along its southern boundaries, The Marketplace at Anson includes CVS; Lowe’s; and several local dining establishments, personal services and retail stores as well as financial services. Across the street, The BLANK at Anson is home to Witham Health Services’ 40,000square-foot emergency, outpatient and medical offices building with a hotel and grocery store and office buildings in the near future. Also in southern Boone are several further developments in the planning stages, including Whitestown Crossing—a 90-acre mixed-use site with more than 700,000 square feet of space for hotels, restaurants, offices, retailers and more. Businesses, large and small, take advantage of a number of useful programs and services through various local organizations. The Boone County Economic Development Corporation (BooneEDC) was organized in 1989 in order to attract new

BooneEDC offers assistance with site selection; supplies various expansion and retention programs; and provides local education and awareness opportunities through close partnerships with area development boards and commissions, frequent communication with elected officials, and regular attendance at meetings of local government. All in all, “the BooneEDC is the link between elected officials, developers and businesses,” says Norton.

BOONE COUNTY’S DRIVEN BUSINESS SENSE: FEATURING RICH MANUFACTURING Land, landscapes and open space are integral to homeowners, businesses and an entire community. Residents have come to appreciate the visual beauty that maintained open spaces create and the ecological value it serves. Boone County is no exception to this. It has become a leader through dedicated businesses determined to make open space maintenance easier and safer. One such business is Rich Manufacturing, Inc. In the early 1990s, Tom Rich realized there was a better way to run his business and in turn make life for fellow lawn services and homeowners a little easier. Rich Manufacturing, Inc., was established by partners Tom Rich and Stan Morton, owner of Palmor Products. The

partners saw a market for a new concept mower and began testing their ideas, with several different models and prototypes created—and thousands of hours logged. The right combination finally came about, and by 1996, Rich Manufacturing began production of the “Convertible Mower.” The Convertible, Rich Manufacturing’s only product, is a two-in-one lawn machine capable of handling a variety of jobs by combining a zero-turn riding mower with the functionality of a hydrostatic walk-behind. Detailed information on Rich Manufacturing’s Convertible Mowers can be found by visiting www.convertiblemower.com.

The Boone County Chamber of Commerce is another useful business asset and offers counseling through the Central Indiana Small Business Development Center (SBDC). SBDC counselors meet with aspiring entrepreneurs or established business owners to discuss topics such as business feasibility, business start-up, marketing, management, planning, financing, and many other aspects of either starting or running a successful small business. With a pro-business attitude, new developments on the horizon and a strong support system, Boone County has certainly laid the foundation for continued economic success.

ECO-BUSINESS:

Isn’t It Easy Being

GREEN?

here may not be an easy way to gauge the favorite color of Boone County residents, but it certainly seems that green is a strong contender. At least it appears that way based on how businesses have shaped their eco-friendly initiatives. From office recycling programs and the use of environmentally sound lighting to the support of environmentally responsible development, Boone County businesses and organizations have had great success in painting the towns, and the county, green.

businesses by ensuring metals produced as part of industrial processes or just for everyday use can reenter the market to reduce the need for mining new resources. “What opportunities we provide to the public and also to the industrial community,” says Matt, “involve giving them a geographically feasible outlet for their aluminum, copper, brass, stainless steel, iron and steel, old items that were either generated as a byproduct of the manufacturing process or from the general public, which is usually through obsolescence.”

Entrepreneur Matt McKinney and his wife use their recycling business to help the environment and local

Lebanon Utilities has taken additional steps to further conservation for the community, too. They have recently completed a campaign to hand out $1 off coupons for compact fluorescent bulbs. In addition, Lebanon Utilities looks to diversify their portfolio in terms of energy production. They currently provide mostly coal-powered energy, but in time hope to add cleaner energy, most notably wind-generated power.

Another major initiative under consideration involves allowing customers the opportunity to control usage of their own utilities thanks to two-way communication between Lebanon Utilities and its customers. “What you could do, theoretically,” explains Mike Martin, General Manager at Lebanon Utilities, “is you can have a wireless capability that will allow you, in the home, to control appliances and even the thermostat in order to reduce usage for our customers and help them to save money on their bills.” If implemented, the plan would allow

customers control over how thrifty and how green they wanted to be, all with the full backing of Lebanon Utilities. The most recent service addition to the area is Ray’s Trash Service, which was chosen to handle the trash and recycling duties of the Town of Zionsville starting in March 2009. Recognized as one of the largest recyclers in the state, Ray’s works to set an example of green responsibility among both residents and businesses. Ray’s is dedicated to providing quality services, such as recycling, that directly reduce waste and strives to minimize the impact of its operations on the environment within its well-equipped facilities— which are lined with efficient waste handling and recycling technologies. Gabriel Metals, Lebanon Utilities and Ray’s Trash Service, among others, each exhibit how prominently conservation and green initiatives play in the area. As environmental issues continue to arise in Boone County, there is no doubt Boone County residents and businesses will dedicate more time to instituting further green measures.

are enrolled in the local 4-H program, according to Tony Carrell, Extension Educator for 4-H Youth Development, Purdue Cooperative Extension.

ne is certain to notice the scenery when traveling through Indiana, and a word that constantly springs to mind is farms. It should be no surprise, then, that Indiana has over 63,000 farms, containing more than 15 million acres; farms indeed.

“Research shows that students who have a community connection and are actively involved in programs, such as 4-H and FFA, will become leaders in their community as adults,” continues Carrell. “This results in increased community and economic development of local communities.”

Farming in Boone has roots that trace back to the 1800s with simple land clearing, but has greatly expanded to 279 farms, whose main crops are corn and soybeans. “The total acreage of Boone County is 270,000 acres, with nearly 75 percent of the county in row crop production,” says Douglas Akers, County Extension Educator and ANR, Purdue Cooperative Extension. Yes, agriculture remains a major component to Boone County’s economy. 4-H and FFA stand as two of the premier leadership development organizations dedicated to developing leadership skills among youth. Agriculture and 4-H have a rich history together that spans over 100 years back to the early 20th century. 4-H,

which stands for “Head, Heart, Hands and Health,” began in the late 1890s and early 1900s as a way to better educate young people in agriculture. To give you an idea of the scope of the organization, 4-H now has 6 million members and over 500,000 volunteers across the nation. In Boone County, approximately 1,150 youths in grades 3-12

The Purdue Cooperative Extension Service is a network of specialists, educators and volunteers who provide education and scientific research-based information in each of Indiana’s 92 counties. Main program areas are consumer and family services, economic and

community development, agriculture and national resources, and 4-H youth. “The Purdue Extension Office in Boone County works collaboratively with teachers and administrators at Lebanon, Western Boone and Zionsville Schools to deliver school enrichment programs utilizing the Extension’s curriculum and resources,” explains Carrell. Eight to 10 events are held by the organization at the Boone County 4-H

fairgrounds, including the poultry show, but the biggest draw is the county fair. The Boone County 4-H fairgrounds has also received pledges from over 200 partners, totaling over $1.2 million, to update the facilities in a capital campaign called “A Pledge to Boone County’s Future.” This is the first major renovation for the fairgrounds and includes the 4-H family, elected officials, community members, renters, service clubs and nonprofit groups among its developers.

“Lebanon hosts the 4-H Fair, but the 4-H belongs to the entire county, and we are all proud of each other and our entire county when it comes to 4-H,” explains Dale Smith, a lifelong resident of Boone County. “4-H may be the lifestyle that most unites the county.”

The Boone County Family YMCA, located in Lebanon, is a staple in the recreational offerings of the area, currently boasting a membership exceeding 500 people.

Among the various programs offered through the Y are

The YMCA has plans to begin building a modern, 35,000-square-foot facility on the Witham Health Campus in early fall of 2009. The addition of this facility will provide Y members with such amenities as an indoor swimming pool and therapy pool, a gymnasium, a weight room, an aerobic room, an indoor walking track, locker rooms, and a child care area—to name a few. “By having a brand-new YMCA facility where we can offer a multitude of family-based,

youth, adult and senior programs, we are able to fulfill our mission of bringing quality and affordable programs to the families of Boone County,” explains Amy Mitchell, Wellness Director at the Y. Sports have a major presence in Boone County and its surrounding areas, with the establishment of various youth and adult sports teams throughout the region. The Boys & Girls Club of Zionsville has organized a wealth of sports leagues and camps—among other programs and services—including basketball, flag football and T-ball. Little League baseball is played at fields across the county. Soccer is also a celebrated pastime, which is evident through the immense popularity of Socctoberfest in Zionsville. Each fall, the Zionsville Youth Soccer Association (ZYSA) welcomes more than 1,500 participants from all over the Midwest to participate in this competitive event, held at the 50-acre Eagle Fields complex. There are also plenty of options for fitness fanatics through facilities such as Anytime Fitness, Lebanon Sport & Fitness, Curves, and many nearby national chains. It’s no wonder Boone County has such a love of sports, with its location in the Hoosier state and a short distance from Indianapolis. Indy is teeming with

opportunities for athletes and sports enthusiasts, with the Indianapolis Motor Speedway; the NCAA headquarters and museum; Big Ten college athletics; and various professional teams such as the Indianapolis Colts (NFL), the Indiana Pacers (NBA), and the Indianapolis Indians (MILB) rounding out the selections for exciting athletics.

PARKS & TRAILS One of Boone County’s greatest assets comes in the form of its great outdoors. The serenity of the untouched areas gives a sense of respite from the fast-paced world we live in today. Fortunately, all local Boone County communities have incorporated such entities as Parks and Recreation departments in order to enhance the quality of life through well-maintained park sites, trails, facilities, and an extensive list of programming for children and adults.

Zionsville is packed with many park sites, facilities and miles of trails. The Zionsville Parks Department maintains nearly 20 parks and facilities, including the 77-acre Starkey Nature Park, the new 38-acre Mulberry Fields site, The Azionaqua Swim Club and the Zion Nature Center. The Nature Center’s facility offers a range of nature programs and is comprised of an animal room, a program room, a craft room, a wildlife viewing area, a library, a preschool room and various exhibits on the inside. Venturing outdoors, visitors will come into contact with the Zion Nature Sanctuary, which offers nature trails, flood plain areas and an outdoor classroom. Additionally, the sanctuary opened a new trail in late 2007, known as the “West Trail.” The Lebanon Parks and Recreation Department oversees seven parks, notably the more than 40-acre Memorial Park and the more than 50-acre Abner Longley Park. Between the two parks, residents and visitors can take advantage of an outdoor swimming pool, lighted tennis and basketball courts, athletic fields, picnic shelters, a nature trail, and much more. A major community effort in Jamestown helped to bring about the completion of Pleasant Acres Nature Park. The park, completed in the early 2000s, is comprised of trails, bridges, a shelter house, an overlook, a gazebo, and plenty of native flowers and trees. Another civic accomplishment was made through the establishment of Advance Community Park. The park is a newer addition to the area, equipped with a picnic shelter, basketball

and sand volleyball courts, a skate park, a walking trail, an ice rink, a softball diamond, and plenty of open space for play.

POLO Mention polo matches and most think of dignitaries like England’s Prince Charles, but in Boone County, and across the country, polo’s place as a recreational activity in bringing families and friends together has steadily gained popularity. There are nearly 280 private polo clubs across the country, and one graces Indiana’s countryside. Hickory Hall Polo Club is a well-manicured 20-acre spread near the eastern boundary of Boone County. Polo has been a staple in the lives of Hickory Hall’s owners for years. “My husband’s been involved with polo and fox hunting with his whole family since he was 5 or 6,” says Donna Chandler, “and I got involved with polo later—that’s how I met Greg.” In addition to their involvement, their son, Austin, also plays polo at Culver Military Academy. The Chandlers have taken great care to bring the enjoyment of polo to Boone County residents as well as benefiting the community. “Polo has been tied to charitable causes from its beginning,” says Chandler. And Boone County is no exception. Annually, Hickory Hall hosts the Witham Foundation-Boone County Chamber of Commerce Polo Match the second weekend in July. The event attracts around 1,500 spectators. While polo is the

main draw, there are many other festivities for attendees to enjoy. “It’s really just a great way to go to the country and spend an afternoon with family and friends sharing fun and good food,” relates Chandler. Recent Hickory Hall events have also benefited the Purdue Polo Club and Helping Her Heal Fund. “The Helping Her Heal Fund provides emotional, physical and financial help for women experiencing any form of female cancer, and the Purdue Polo Club event helps to keep the club strong so families and communities can continue to benefit from this undervalued sport,” explains Chandler. Whether attending for the sake of enjoying a few mint juleps, or ready to ride horses for a six-chukkas game, people continue to discover the sport of polo in Indiana.

TEEING OFF IN BOONE COUNTY Some of the hidden gems of Indiana’s recreational world are its rich golf courses, several of which are located right inside Boone County.

designed course, the private 18-hole course at Ulen Country Club is composed of two acres of high-quality greens, 25 acres of fairway, 80 acres of well-maintained rough, two water features and a staggering total of 80 bunkers. Four sets of tees are available to accommodate golfers of all skill levels, with the longest tee offering play up to 6,310 yards and a par 70. The Ulen course has undergone several major renovation projects within the last several years, including a bunker and tee renovation project in 2001, the installation of a new irrigation system in 2003, and the fairways move from rye grass to bent grass in 2006. While Ulen has endured these muchneeded upgrades, William Diddle’s original design, including the green contours, fairway mounding and overall layout, has remained intact. (www.ulencc.com) Opened in 1960, Cool Lake Golf Course in Lebanon offers exceptionally nice greens and a clean, well-maintained 18-hole course that stretches 6,008 yards from the blue tees, 5,661 yards from whites and 4,946 yards from the senior/lady tees.

In addition to the great course, Cool Lake offers plenty of opportunities for organized games and tournaments. (www.coollakegolf.com)

A shorter layout is available at Tomahawk Hills Golf Course in Jamestown. Built in the early 1970s and designed by Gary Kern, Tomahawk Hills provides quite a taxing nine-hole course.

Winings, and programs for adults and aspiring teens, the Trophy Club is uniquely equipped to provide a professional challenge to players of any skill level.

In 1989, Wolf Run opened to much acclaim. Leer and Smyers

designed quite a challenging course, with the hope of bringing in a membership composed of the best players in the country. While the beautiful 18-hole course has seen minor modifications, it has retained its testing framework, with a course rating of 74.2 and a slope of 143. Its popularity also remains, as it is currently ranked No. 18 in “America’s 100 Best Modern Courses” by Golfweek. (www.wolfrungc.com) Just outside of Zionsville is the acclaimed Golf Club of Indiana, a public course that has been recognized among “America’s Top 75 Daily Fee Golf Courses” by Golf Digest. The Mickey Powell and Charles Maddoxdesigned course is characterized by “gently rolling terrain, large undulating greens and many mature trees,” with 72 bunkers and water coming into play on 15 holes. The championship tees provide play extending over 7,000 yards and a par 72, offering a challenge to the more experienced golfers. The attractive, highly manicured course features bent grass tees and greens and bluegrass fairways. (www.golfindiana.com)

Recently, the town of Zionsville purchased a nine-hole golf course for public use. “The people who owned the golf course at the time were wanting to sell it,” says Ed Mitro, Town Manager of Zionsville. “We saw that it would be a very important asset to the town of Zionsville and the community, so we stepped in and said we’d certainly like to buy it to keep it as a municipal golf course.” Spanning some 50 acres, the Zionsville Golf Course offers three sets of tees ranging from 2,440 yards at the shortest and 2,970 yards at the longest, for a par 36. The public course “is very heavily utilized by locals and visitors alike. All age groups, from retirees to the Zionsville Community high school golf team, keep the course busy,” explains Mitro. (www.zionsvillegolfcourse.com) From beginners to the almost professional, all levels of golfers find Boone County offers numerous options to practice and perfect their game.

It is located in the historical 1893 Cragun House, which is available for rent for special occasions. Sponsored by the Sugar Creek Historical Society, the Thorntown Museum is a celebration of this Indiana area’s bygone days. The museum is bristling with distinct memorabilia, artifacts, photographs, and further items used by many of Thorntown and its surrounding area’s early residents. Among these prominent inhabitants were Native Americans, pioneers, soldiers, farmers, merchants and inventors. Much of Thorntown’s history, and the role it played in the development of Boone County, can be learned in the Thorn Room, while a host of Native American relics are on display in the Stone Room.

The fine structure the museum calls home was dedicated to the society by Mrs. Harold S. Spencer for the “Preservation of Our Indian Heritage” in 1977. The lot, which the structure sits upon, was part of the original plat of Thorntown, laid out in 1829-1830. The house itself dates back to around the years 1863-1867. In addition to the array of intriguing cultural venues, the communities of Boone County also offer a calendar year chock full of events displaying the area’s rich culture.

Indianapolis offers many excellent opportunities

for higher learning through a number of established colleges and universities.

BOONE COUNTY LEARNING NETWORK A partnership between Purdue University, Boone County government and the Community Foundation of Boone County led to the organization of the Boone County Learning Network (BCLN) in 2006. This nonprofit educational resource exists to provide affordable and easily accessible educational programs and services to lifelong learners, college students, businesses and organizations in Boone County. “In today’s economic climate, more than ever, citizens are in need of updating or learning new skills, discovering a new hobby, or charting a new career path,” explains Audra Poe, Executive Director.

In addition to these great opportunities, BCLN partners with local and Central Indiana organizations to offer work force development and job training programs, along with economic development education. “We are working to expand our work force development and job training programs, as well as bringing more college and university classes to Boone County,” says Poe.

EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATIONS: SUPPORTING LOCAL SCHOOLS AND TEACHERS One of the many important elements to the success of students in Boone County is the existence of dedicated educational foundations. “If you ask any educator, they will tell you that educational foundations are a godsend,” says Cheri Goodwin, Executive Director of the Lebanon Educational Foundation. “Educational foundations are vital to continue providing the funding in areas which are not reachable within a school corporation’s budget. On the scholarship side, it is wonderful to be able to award students who have worked hard during their school experience with funds to assist with post-secondary education.” Lynn Kissel, Executive Director of the Zionsville Educational Foundation, agrees. “Educational foundations are vitally important to the health of the school and the community,” she says. “By awarding grant dollars, educational foundations encourage educators to implement innovative ideas that will enhance the classroom experience.” The Lebanon Educational Foundation (LEF) was established in 1990 and is led by a volunteer board composed of members who donate countless hours for the benefit of education in Lebanon. LEF funds scholarships for Lebanon High School (LHS) graduates, provides funding for classroom grants and initiatives that go beyond the normal school corporation budget, administers scholarships for donors, and provides teacher grants twice a year. As for the fundraising side of LEF, the organization holds its signature “Firecracker Classic” event—a 3x3 basketball tournament—a golf outing in June; a phone-a-thon in October; and the recently instituted “Betting on Education” fundraiser, a casino night and auction. (www.lebanonlef.org) The Zionsville Educational Foundation (ZEF), formerly the Eagle-Union Foundation, was formed in 1995 and offers two types of grants. One grant provides funding for academic excellence and innovation, community and school partnerships, and leveraging external grants. The second grant, “Imagine” grants, is for professional development, which promotes professional growth and renewal opportunities for experienced educators. ZEF also benefits from many community volunteers who dedicate their time to organize such signature fundraising events as “In Style” and “Oktoberfest.” “ZEF is fortunate to have support from the entire community, specifically local merchants and businesses,” says Kissel. “Fundraising events simply would not be successful without the many people who believe in our mission and give generously of their time and treasures.” (www.zionsvilleeducationfoundation.org) The latest organization to be formed among the three is the Western Boone Educational Foundation (WBEF), which was established in 2000 with a 12-member board that represents each of the townships within the Western Boone district. Not only does WBEF sponsor several scholarships for students, it also awards grants to teachers that directly benefit the students. The organization hosts two fundraising events every year, including a porkburger dinner at the first varsity home football game in August and a chili supper and pie auction at basketball homecoming.

SERVING BOONE COUNTY

In addition to the outstanding educational institutions found throughout Boone County, residents have access to several public library facilities that are brimming with educational and recreational opportunities. Students find the quiet environment suitable for studying, while other patrons leisurely take in the tranquility of a good read. Fiction and non-fiction books, reference and research materials, magazines, newspapers, genealogy services, audiovisual items, and more round out the collections discovered through area libraries. Surfing the Internet is made easy through public computer stations and wireless network connections. But, as Marilyn Martin, Assistant Department Head of the Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Public Library (HMMPL), says, “Our libraries are much more than books and media.” Boone County’s public libraries play large roles in enriching the community through special programming and events for all ages. The Thorntown Public Library provides daily lunches and activities to the elderly community and has recently stepped in to assist the Thorntown Heritage Museum with its operations. The Lebanon Public Library invests in outreach programming at local schools, the Methodist Children’s Home, Morning Base and its Kenworthy Reading Camp. HMMPL, now in cooperation

More and more, residents of all ages are taking the initiative to enhance all facets of community life in Boone County. From scores of nonprofit organizations and civic clubs to numerous faith-based institutions, “the service community of Boone County is rich and varied, with many generous people willing to share their time and talent for the greater good of our home,” says Jill Troha, the Boone County Area Director of the United Way of Central Indiana. Kelly Frank, Thorntown resident and CoPresident of the Thorntown Community Organization, couldn’t agree more. “I feel it is a privilege to live in this community,” she says. “There are several residents who wear many hats in the community, serving on committees and volunteering their time to keep our community vibrant.” The range of initiatives is great in Boone County, from the senior programs of Boone County Senior Services and the youth-led and supported projects of the Boys & Girls Club, Youth Action Community Council, and Kiwanis Key Club to community-wide philanthropic vehicles like the Community Foundation of Boone County. The Witham Health Services Foundation is a major component in Boone County, providing extensive community outreach programs and services each year. The foundation sponsors and co-sponsors several community events each year, including the Witham Gala, the Annual Golf Classic at Ulen Country Club, the Fashion Show and the Boone County Polo Event. Held at Hickory Hall Polo Club, the polo event is hosted by both the Witham Foundation and the Boone County Chamber of Commerce and has raised more than $50,000 since its inception in 2003. The Witham Foundation would not be made possible without the philanthropic support of its community advocates and the countless hours of service donated by its volunteers. In addition to the multitude of local organizations and government partners, the area is home to a number of well-known national organizations, notably the American

Cancer Society, Habitat for Humanity, March of Dimes, the United Way and the Humane Society. The faith-based communities are also well represented here. According to Wayne Adams, Executive Director of Love INC Boone County (a religious clearinghouse), there are approximately 80 churches, represented by 17 denominations, located throughout the communities of Boone County. Supplementing the various church-led groups and facilities such as the Indiana United Methodist Children’s Home in Lebanon are several civic organizations supported by church membership, such as the Knights of Columbus. “The spiritual community of Boone County is taking an active role in responding to the needs of the community, especially during this economic downturn,” explains Sheri El, Director of Benevolence at Traders Point Christian Church. “Churches are crossing denomination barriers and sharing resources to help meet spiritual, physical, financial and emotional needs.”

Between nonprofits, faith-based groups, and civic organizations and clubs, Boone County is easily home to more than 100 entities dedicated to meeting the diverse needs of the community—and that number continues to grow with new additions. Among these new groups is the Healthy Coalition for Boone County, an organization created in June 2008 with a mission to provide collaborative services through a coordinated public health system. The Lebanon Kiwanis Club brings together teens from all three area high schools to form the new Youth Leadership Academy, and the United Way of Central Indiana has organized an ongoing Early Readers Club for pre-K children in Boone County. Additionally, the local United Way is leading an effort to eliminate childhood hunger, which began in 2008. The generous residents who continually volunteer their time for the betterment of the Boone County community are truly the lifeline of these organizations. For more information on getting involved in the community, contact the Boone County Chamber of Commerce for a list of area clubs and organizations.

Witham Health Services has a long history of serving Boone County. From humble beginnings during World War I to the opening of the area’s first local kidney dialysis center in 2007, there’s been much growth at Witham. It all started in 1917 with Boone County farmer Flavius J. Witham donating $15,000 to help build Witham Memorial Hospital. Today, that small farm-community hospital has grown into a 263,000-square-foot facility with state-of-the-art technology and services that provide patient comfort and privacy. And Witham shows no signs of slowing down. While intently focused on the present, Witham has an eye to the future as well. “We continue to attract and retain excellent physicians and nurses so we’re able to meet the majority of our community’s healthcare needs,” says Raymond Ingham, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer and President of Witham Health Services.

Small Hospital. Big Medicine. While smaller than other hospitals in the region, Witham is clearly able to provide the “big medicine” that the community counts on. Consider the hospital’s new dialysis center—the first such program in the area. “There were dozens of patients in the Boone County area who have needed dialysis, but had to travel 20 to 30 minutes away to receive these lifesaving treatments,” explains Dr. Ingham. “Because dialysis is a process that takes several hours, and often must be completed several times each week, traveling out of town was inconvenient for patients in the Lebanon area and surrounding communities.” The need for a local dialysis center was obvious, but the challenge was putting together the right combination of care. According to Dr. Ingham, creative planning was the key to making the center happen. “After many town hall meetings, we quickly realized that this specialized care would be most effectively delivered through a

collaborative approach,” he shares. Ultimately, a partnership between Witham

Witham’s Greatest Proponent Providing the high level of services it does would be impossible without the support of the Witham Health Services Foundation—and, most importantly, the community members who support the foundation. The foundation was established in 1983 to support continuous improvements to Witham as a technologically driven hospital. Since then, it has become the cornerstone of support for Witham. It is driven by the belief that the citizens of Boone County and surrounding communities deserve access to the latest advancements in medical care. Foundation contributions have funded additional equipment and present the highest-quality healthcare programming.

square-foot medical office building attached to the north side of the current hospital, will offer new medical treatments as well as expanding service areas, such as family medicine, internal medicine and pediatric practices. Witham’s rehabilitation department will be an important part of the North Pavilion. With patient demand steadily increasing, Witham will now be able to offer enhanced treatment options. Additionally, the North Pavilion will be home to expanded orthopedic offices, the new Women’s Center, a Wound Care Center and a medical spa. By the end of 2009, Witham will also open a freestanding emergency department and medical facility at Anson in southern Boone County. The new medical facility will be fully equipped with walk-in and ambulance entrances as well as triage exam and observation rooms. It will be open and fully staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Anson facility also will include a complete array of radiology, laboratory and physician offices as well. Health Services and the national firm Liberty Dialysis was deemed to be the best solution for patients and providers alike.

A Calling to Serve While the brick and mortar of new buildings demonstrate the hospital’s continued growth, Dr. Ingham says the truest signs of growth happen inside the walls of the hospital. “To be successful, we must focus 24 hours a day, 365

days a year on quality patient care and streamlined health systems to provide value to our patients, physicians, employees and communities,” says Dr. Ingham. “It’s a mission for us. We feel called to care for our neighbors and help them live healthy, active lives and heal in times of injury and illness. It’s what brings us to work each day.”

Snapshot of Services Witham Health Services is dedicated to providing a complete range of patient services.

EXCEL HOME HEALTH CARE Excel Home Health Care began when Manager Shari Pryor, Occupational Therapist Kim Lyons and Physical Therapist Tracy Dacanay started talking about the need for in-home care based in Lebanon. For years, those who needed these services had to get them from outside agencies. Excel Home Health Care changed all that. “I saw it as a need for a local home health agency that provided the skilled services,” says Pryor. “Since we already had experience in the medical field, long-term care and rehab, we decided to start this agency. Most of us are from right here in Lebanon…most people generally prefer somebody local. What I found working in social service and nursing homes? When I went to discharge someone to home health, they asked if there was someone in Lebanon they could use.” It’s not simply about having a convenient location close to those who need physical therapy. Pryor says establishing relationships is the key to Excel’s success. “One of the big differences is that our clients see the same staff when they come out. It’s always the same people, so there is a relationship developed.” Pryor says Excel remains committed to that kind of relationship building. Excel Home Health has grown since it was fully licensed in 2007, but the founders are committed to staying local. “We don’t want to become a statewide agency,” Pryor said. “We want to stay small and focused on the rural areas in this area of Indiana. I feel there’s better care provided if you stay small.”

eniors residing within Boone County are well-supported through a number of quality programs and services designed with their needs in mind.

BOONE COUNTY SENIOR SERVICES Boone County Senior Services, Inc., (BCSSI) wants senior citizens to lead meaningful, healthy lives in Boone County. Through the many services and programs provided by BCSSI, Boone County senior citizens are able to do that and more. BCSSI staff and volunteers provide for the emotional, social and physical well-being of residents over the age of 60. It is funded by United Way, donations from Boone County businesses and individuals, municipal and local governments, Social Service Block Grants, and Title III funding through CICOA Aging & In-Home Solutions. The variety of programs offered through BCSSI include the Guardianship Program, which provides assistance to those in need of help when it comes to financial matters and coping with life’s issues; Health Screening Clinics; a Home Health Program; a Homemaker Service; and Senior Transportation and Senior Van Trips. BCSSI is also the only complete resource center about community senior services in the area. “We’re a one-stop shop,” says Sue Ritz, Executive Director of BCSSI. “If we don’t have the answer, we are knowledgeable to refer someone else.” The hard work, unwavering dedication and time provided by innumerous volunteers have made the programs and services of BCSSI possible. Through short-term and long-term opportunities, volunteers have made a significant impact in the senior community of Boone County. Among the ways to get involved are through the Friendly Visitor Program, where volunteers make regular in-home or nursing home visits to offer companionship and support to those who are alone; taking on office positions including Office Assistant and Receptionist or the handyman position, which requires the volunteer

to perform minor household repairs at the agency, office or homes of senior citizens; and participation in various fundraising and community events such as the “Day of Caring” event. The organization looks at the big picture and provides assistance to everyone involved with senior living. “We have a huge impact on the community,” says Ritz. “Boomers are turning 60 and are more active than ever. We give out information to cope with being a caregiver and make sure people aren’t burned out. Central Indiana is very lucky to have senior services that are so involved in people’s lives.”

SENIOR TRANSPORTATION SERVICES BATS Many residents in Boone County, and beyond, have to give strong consideration on how to get around town for such tasks as doctor’s appointments and grocery shopping. In the hopes of relieving the need for public transportation on the local levels, especially for senior citizens, Boone County established the Boone Area Transit System (BATS). Those in need of a ride begin by planning around a week in advance by setting up an appointment through the BATS office. “If they need to go the doctor, hair dresser, dentist, grocer, whatever they need to do, they get on the schedule,” explains Cindy Elliott, Director of Transportation Services at BCSSI. “We wait for them, or if they are in town, we have several vehicles in town every day and we’ll drop them off. They’ll call when they’re ready to leave, and we go back and take them home.” The cost-effective BATS service operates Monday through Friday, from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Through the establishment of a service such as this, Boone County has taken steps toward ensuring that people can and do get around, affordably, for their individual needs.

Top-Notch Tours offers one- and two-day excursions, including trips to dinner theatres/plays, shopping centers, casinos, ball games, and the horse track, as well as multiple-day outings to destinations such as Florida; Branson, Missouri; New York; Wisconsin; Michigan; and other places around the country. Between 50 and 100 travelers take advantage of these travel options each trip—which ranges from seniors to the “younger” guests they invite to come along. “In many cases, this service allows seniors to visit areas that they would not see on their own,” notes Brenda Bahler, owner of Top-Notch Tours. “Plus, keeping active is important, and traveling as a group adds more fun while meeting new people along the way.”

SENIOR LIVING Boone County’s senior population is well-served through a number of outstanding services and programs, as well as a number of attractive senior-living communities.
