Staying Safe This Summer Writer // Janelle Morrison • Photography // Theresa Skutt
The final bell of the school year will soon commence the start of summer break, and with the recent news of Zionsville Fire Department’s newest public safety tool, the “Public Safety Vehicle,” cruising around town promoting safety, we decided to ask the expert on general safety, Vincent Randolph, public educator at ZFD, what people should be thinking about in order to have a fun and safe summer as they explore all of Zionsville’s outdoor amenities, as well as their own backyards.
T
he final bell of the school year will soon commence the start of summer break, and with the recent news of Zionsville Fire Department’s newest public safety tool, the “Public Safety Vehicle,” cruising around town promoting safety, we decided to ask the expert on general safety, Vincent Randolph, public educator at ZFD, what people should be thinking about in order to have a fun and safe summer as they explore all of Zionsville’s outdoor amenities, as well as their own backyards.
Water Safety “I want everyone to have a great summer, and having a fun summer is also having a safe summer,” Randolph emphasized. “Between the ages of 1 and 4 years old, drownings are the second-leading cause of death in that age range—that is a national statistic. The first leading cause is birth defects. I would like to
urge parents and guardians that if you are around a water source, to keep an eye on your child. Even if your child knows how to swim, it doesn’t give him or her free rein to just go.” Randolph recommends: • You should always have a responsible adult nearby. If someone is caring for your child and the plan for the day is a little pool fun, it’s good for that person to be present and have the child come out of the pool just to take a breather and then go back in. That way the child doesn’t wear him- or herself out. • Keep a phone close by so that if an emergency arises, that person can get help on the way right away. • If they have floaties, make sure they are used and that it’s not the first time that the child has put them on. You should familiarize your child with any type of equipment that you will be putting on them before the summer play starts. And teach them how important is for them to keep them on.

“If a child has darted somewhere and you can’t find them, the first place that we want you to look is nearby water sources,” he stated. “We tend to look everywhere else first. I want to urge everyone that if a water source is nearby, to check that water source first. It takes approximately six minutes, without oxygen, for the brain to start to deteriorate, and that is irreversible. It only takes 2 inches of water to cause an accidental drowning, so even the play pools, dump that water. After a rainy day, dump that water. When it comes to a baby sitter or caregiver, we urge them to have their CPR certification. The vital time between the incident occurring and our crews arriving on the scene may only be three to four minutes, but that’s crucial life-saving time. ZFD offers a CPR certification class for those interested in becoming certified.”
Bicycle Safety “When it comes to you and/or your child riding your bicycles, make sure everyone has the necessary protective equipment,” Randolph said. “For the kids, especially, have knee and elbow pads and a helmet. Make sure they understand that just because they have those, they don’t suddenly have super powers. Make sure that your child is used to wearing this equipment and knows he or she has to keep it on. A lot of time, kids don’t want to wear their helmets, and we need those worn. On July 4, we do our bicycle parades through the neighborhoods. We need for the parents to know that any child that will be participating in a ZFD-led bicycle parade will be required to wear a helmet. I don’t want to turn any kids away, so we are urging all the parents to get a helmet before our first bicycle parade.” Bicycle safety is not just for children and youth cyclists. Randolph also mentioned some safe practices for adults. “Your clothing is important,” he stressed. “Please mark your bicycle with reflective wear. If you have a sidesaddle bag for your bicycle, keep a reflective jacket in there. You have to be seen. You can’t trust the eyesight of the person driving the car. It’s your life we’re talking about.”
Trail and Park Safety As the trails are developed and expanded, I think it would be good for people to remember that those areas were habitats before they were trails. We have to be aware and almost anticipate encounters with wildlife when using the trails. Randolph recommends: • Consider covering your arms and legs to protect them from bites and anything you
MAY 2019
2019-05-02 2:30 PM
may not want to contact your skin. • Remain hydrated. That is important for all ages. Remember, if you feel thirsty, you are already beginning to dehydrate. “When it comes to being out and about, specifically our youth and teens, we want to make sure that we have means of communication and a plan,” Randolph said. “For example, have your child text you or call you every 30 minutes. I urge parents to come up with a text code word or an emoji that if a child finds him- or herself in duress or lost or needing help from an adult, they can discreetly send a message. I also recommend that parents or guardians change their ring tone or notification alert so that it is different from others that they receive.”
Fire Safety “Nationally speaking, fire pits, grills, etc., those cause approximately 10,000 fires each year because they aren’t managed well,” Randolph shared. “There needs to be at least a 10-foot distance between a grill of any kind and a structure. About 16,000 individuals are injured because of grills, and about half of those are thermal burns. Along with having that 10-foot distance, keep a 3-foot circumference around the grill. No pets and no children in that area. No bags of charcoal. That is a ‘no-
I cannot emphasize enough the importance of being a vigilant parent” go’ zone. Please invest in longer tongs and spatulas as well.” Randolph continued, “Summer is a lot of fun, and grilling is a lot of fun. I always say, ‘If it’s on the heat, stay until the job’s complete.’” When it comes to your home, create and practice fire drills in your home and do so often. Don’t forget to test your smoke detectors and to change the batteries. Randolph recommends having scheduled drills and unscheduled drills during the day and at night so that all members of your household are prepared in the event of a real fire or severe weather emergency.
Fireworks “So many little ones and even adults are injured by fireworks every year,” Randolph said. “You want to make sure that fireworks are only lit by adults. There is a certain maturity
and wisdom that comes with age, so you want to make sure that there is a responsible adult lighting those fuses. It may seem like a simple enough reminder, but if a firework doesn’t light, don’t approach it—it may be delayed. Move the lighting/staging area elsewhere and have a source of water close by, and I don’t mean a cup or small pail. I want to urge people to have a bucket or buckets or access to a hose. Choose a blacktop area and not grass to do so.” At the end of the day, Randolph would like to encourage everyone to have a safe and fun summer with their family and friends while being vigilant, considerate and smart about their outdoor fun. “I cannot emphasize enough the importance of being a vigilant parent,” he said. “I know from having a toddler that silence is not golden. Silence is suspicious. I can’t express that enough.”

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT
Landscape Illumination, Inc. LOCAL EXPERTS IN PROFESSIONAL OUTDOOR LIGHTING
Writer // Janelle Morrison Photography // Laura Arick and submitted
Are you looking for professional and courteous experts to transform your home and property into an outdoor landscape lighting masterpiece that is also functional? Look no further than one of the Midwest’s largest outdoor lighting companies, Landscape Illumination. For nearly two decades, Landscape Illumination has been enhancing commercial and residential architecture and landscapes throughout Indiana, creating smooth transitions between indoor and outdoor living and working spaces with an attention to detail.

xperts in applying LED or “green” technology to every project, Landscape Illumination’s owner, Darrin Selking, and his team have earned Kichler Lightings’ North American Contractor of the Year in 2009 and 2012. They are the only outdoor lighting contractor in North America to have won this award twice. Selking received a double degree from Purdue University in landscape management/ design and turfgrass management. He is also certified by the Association of Outdoor Lighting Professionals Headquartered in Valparaiso, Indiana, Landscape Illumination serves the Indiana, lower Michigan, and south Chicagoland area. They have regional offices in Carmel, Elkhart and Ft.Wayne. Selking and his team of highly trained service technicians specialize in not only landscape lighting for residences but also commercial outdoor lighting.
Selking took a semester course at Purdue in outdoor theater lighting, and his strategic landscape lighting ideas and exterior lighting designs exemplify his study of dramatic lighting techniques. “We’ve done some unbelievable commercial projects – one example is a church that is more than 100-years old,” Selking said. “This was insane from putting together a design while understanding their appreciation for the church’s architecture. A lot of those lights were custom ordered, and I worked with certain beam spreads and outputs for certain architectural features. We produced a drone video of it [the church], and it is pretty crazy.” Selking admitted that he is not the least expensive in the market, but his 20-plus years of experience and commitment to his customers has made him inarguably one of the best in his field. He and his team believe that the bar has been set high by special-
ized lighting design companies and that the true cost for outdoor lighting comes into play when a low-quality system fails. When it comes to landscape lighting, price and cost are two completely different things. “I’m not going to be the least expensive, but I will beat everyone on design,” he said. “I’ve helped thousands of people over my years in business help increase the beauty and safety of their homes. I have passed my experience onto my crew so now they even have a keen eye for design and can make adjustments during installation to create the best experience. Where I used to do everything by hand [designing and estimating], I am using a cloud-based software system that allows me and my guys to communicate quickly, and it makes the entire process more efficient.” With modern technology, Selking can create a design and an estimate during the
10

are nearly invisible. People’s houses may or may not allow for good lighting from the ground, so then we have to install lighting fixtures on the actual structure, and there is hardly anybody around [this market] that does that. I’m one of the only ones, and with the fixtures that I use, you won’t even know they’re up there. They’re [the fixtures] tiny and blend in so well. The power source is on the ground in one location, and my guys can hide the wiring so that it appears invisible.” Additional benefits to creating outdoor lighting displays—including seasonal and holiday lighting applications—is the increased safety and security benefits of having strategically placed lighting around a home and landscape. It is a well-known fact that lighting around your home can help deter potential break-ins. Proper deck lighting and pool lighting are also important safety features that Selking and his team can expertly install for their clients. “Outdoor lighting is huge for security and safety, in addition to the aesthetics,” Selking stressed. “Those are the three main benefits, but you would be surprised at how many people’s houses that we go to during the day have their coach lights on. I ask why those lights are on, and the homeowner always replies that they forgot to turn them off. So, convenience is another benefit— everything we do is automatic. It works off of a photo eye [photoelectric] sensor, so the lights come on in the dark and go off in the morning.

consultation and submit a proposal to his prospective client quickly. Landscape and seasonal lighting are his only business. It is not a sideline or an addition to other outdoor services, and Selking, along with his highly skilled staff, have a proven system that focuses on efficiency as well as customer satisfaction. The design of the project is also important to Selking, and with his training in theatrical outdoor lighting, he has learned how to make a lighting project a work of art that the owners, neighbors and passersby can enjoy. “There are certain ways to do it [outdoor lighting design] and certain ways not to do it,” Selking emphasized. “Typically, when you’re trying to show architectural details, you use lower wattage and place the fixtures closer to the structure, as opposed to putting the typical two large floodlights out in front of a house and throw the light up at it so it looks
like the White House at night. That’s not what I do-we make sure every aspect of the house is showcased. This is especially important when you are lighting a deck, railings or a pool.” Selking explained that doing that kind of “typical” installation washes out the details of the architecture. Landscape Illumination installs low-wattage fixtures close to or on the structure itself so that it shows off the intricate and interesting details that most people don’t see during the day but at night creates a dramatic effect. All the fixtures are standard with LED (light emitting diode) technology. They are energy efficient and usually offer a minimum 15-year warranty on the light source. Landscape Illumination, Inc., offers a yearly maintenance contract after your system has been installed. “LED has made a big difference [in outdoor lighting],” Selking shared. “The fixtures
You don’t have to remember to turn them on and off.” Another point that Selking made was that using properly placed, low-wattage, no-heat LED lights, especially around doorways that have coach lights next to them, will have “zero bug draw” when you turn them on and open the door. Selking explained that with ever-evolving technology, there is a plethora of options and gadgets that are available in his industry. “There are things coming out all the time, but I’ll only use it if I know it works. There is some fishy stuff out there, but I want my clients to never have to call me again unless it’s for more lights, so I use what I know is proven. With newer technology, we can drop a Bluetooth module in your controller, download an app on your phone, and you can control your lights from anywhere in and around your home right from your phone.” If your commercial or residential outdoor lighting system is in need of repair or an upgrade and you live in the Indiana, lower Michigan, or south Chicagoland area, contact Landscape Illumination at (317)851-9172 or visit their website at https:// landscape-illumination.com to schedule an appointment for a free consultation. Don’t forget to ask about their yearly maintenance packages for your lighting system. There are different levels to choose from to meet your specific needs. Be sure to follow Landscape Illumination on Facebook and Instagram for completed residential and commercial projects.

Amazing Lash:
Offering Quality Eyelash Extensions in an Upscale Studio at Affordable Prices As soon as you enter Amazing Lash Studio, located at 2902 W. 86th St., Indianapolis, you feel comfortable as you are greeted in their contemporary, upscale setting. What you will also find satisfying is that Amazing Lash Studio offers its initial eyelash extension service at a very affordable price, starting at $89.99. Lastly, for most women, the great thing about getting lash extensions is the time and hassle saved by not having to apply mascara in the morning.
T
he Amazing Lash Studio on 86th Street is the first in the Indy area, but a second is scheduled to open in The Yard in Fishers this fall. As of February 2019, Amazing Lash Studio was in 26 states with over 200 locations and 114,000 members. It is one of the fastest-growing franchise systems in the country. After you arrive, you will be asked to provide some basic information that your licensed lash stylist will use, in addition to having a personal consultation to determine the style, length and thickness of lash extension that is just right for you. You will be happy to know that all lash stylists at each Amazing Lash Studio are licensed estheticians or cosmetologists who have also been put through 80 hours of additional training by Amazing Lash Studio.
What Are Lash Extensions and How Do Lash Extensions Work? First, eyelash extensions are not the false eyelashes you buy in drugstores that come in a strip and you glue on yourself. At some places, they will stack several extensions on a single eyelash, which can cause damage to the natural eyelash. But at Amazing Lash Studio, they have a policy of one-to-one, where a single extension is placed on a single natural eyelash. As you might imagine, having eyelash extensions applied is a lengthy, tedious process for the lash stylist, usually taking two hours. During this process, the lash stylist is attaching 90 to 120 lash extensions per eye, depending on the number of natural eyelashes you have. While the process may be tedious for the lash stylists, for the person receiving the lash extensions, it can be two hours of
How Long Do Lash Extensions Last? Everyone sheds some of their natural eyelashes daily. Because the eyelash extensions are attached to the eyelashes, you will lose the eyelash extensions as you shed your natural eyelashes. It is difficult to say exactly how long your lash extensions will last since they are dependent on each person’s lash cycle. However, a refill is suggested every 2-3 weeks. Maintenance To properly maintain the lashes, you need a refill every two to three weeks. However, Amazing Lash Studio offers their clients two maintenance programs: Basic: $69.99 per month, which entitles you to one eyelash refill credit per month Twice As Amazing: $119.99 per month for two refill credits for the month With the maintenance programs, you also get the added bonus of discounts on all retail products. What’s New in Eyelash Services? In addition to lash extensions, Amazing Lash Studio also offers a Lash Lift. Essentially, it gives a semipermanent curl to your existing natural lashes. It usually lasts four to six weeks, depending on natural lash growth. Cost of the Lash Lift is $69.99. Amazing Lash Studio also offers what it calls its Featherweight lash extensions. For the same cost as normal lash extensions, you can have the Featherweight, which have half the weight and double the volume. If you’re looking to save some time in the morning and improve you look, call or stop by Amazing Lash Studio for an amazing deal on lash extensions. 2902 West 86th Street Suite 40 Indianapolis, IN 46268 317 830 3104 amazinglashstudio.com

Health Wellness & Beauty (i-r) Donna Davis relaxing during a Cereset session
When you’ve exhausted every option, where do you turn? Donna had reached a point in her life of total desperation. A mother with a full time career, she’d learned she had breast cancer and needed major surgery. After her operation, she found out doctors had been unable to remove all the cancer and she would face another six weeks of radiation treatments.
L
ater, Donna continued struggling to find peace. A lack of restful sleep, fuzzy thinking and hormonal hot flashes continued to interrupt her life and rob her of joy. Her closest companions were anxiety and depression. Though therapy, medications, and other modalities brought a small measure of relief, nothing addressed the issues she faced for long. Your story may be different but perhaps you’re equally desperate, having exhausted options to regather yourself after an extended illness, a painful loss or other debilitating trauma. Restful sleep is often elusive when accompanied by any one of these contributing factors. The fact is, whatever blocks our ability to manage what life throws at us, is ultimately being driven by our brains. The
brain is the organ of central command for our bodies. Our brains react to threatening situations by locking into survival mode to help keep us alive. Though that serves an important function, it also causes us incredible difficulty in obtaining restful sleep once the threat has passed. You can be certain that any difficulties you face have their root in an imbalanced brain. Knowing that is not particularly helpful unless there’s a way to support the brain returning to its normal, balanced state. Some traditional modalities may provide temporary relief, but they typically don’t recognize or help facilitate the brain’s amazing ability for its own self-healing. Donna’s search for answers finally led her to a brain-centric approach. She sought out Cereset™ – CErebrum (Brain)
+ RESET, whose office is in Carmel, IN and offers a process which does exactly what she needed: supporting the brain by reflecting it’s rhythms back to itself, then allowing it to reset or heal itself. Following an initial Cereset session, she experienced restful and refreshing sleep. After 4 Cereset sessions, Donna loves the 7 hours of restful sleep she’s enjoying, awaking to thoughts of gratitude for having her burdens lifted. Donna knows this healing journey will take time in order for her brain to generate strong and healthy networks. She also realizes that, unlike the previous times of temporary soothing from other modalities, she is now on a path for lasting change. Donna works from her own home office but occasionally finds it necessary to travel to corporate headquarters. Prior to Cereset, the mere thought of traveling there caused her excruciating anxiety. She now recognizes she’s sailing through situations that would have previously been crippling. Donna now expects herself to be a high performer. After her sessions at Cereset of Carmel with Brenda Hanning, Donna simply no longer experiences trip preparation anxiety.

Your Infertility Questions Answered Dr. Bradford Bopp, a reproductive endocrinologist at Midwest Fertility Specialists in Carmel, answers some of the most common questions people ask about infertility.
H
ow common is infertility? Infertility is more common than most people realize. Because of its taboo nature, which has only recently begun to dissipate, it’s one of those things that many people deal with in silence — but they don’t have to. As much as it may feel like it, if you are struggling to start a family, you are most certainly not alone. A staggering 1 in 8 couples in the United States struggle to conceive. Even once pregnant, miscarriage is also surprisingly common, with about 15-20 percent of confirmed pregnancies ending in a loss — and that number increases with age. How do I know if I am infertile? Conception is a very delicate and complicated process, no matter how young and healthy you are. Even if you have been trying for a few months with no success, this does not necessarily mean that you are infertile. So, how do you know if you are infertile
or just need to give it more time? Unfortunately, there are not many telltale signs that a woman or man has infertility. Some medical conditions, such as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) or endometriosis in women, or Klinefelter Syndrome or hypothyroidism in men, make infertility much more likely. Risk factors like smoking, excessive drinking, obesity, and family history of infertility can also increase the likelihood of infertility. There is a common misconception that infertility typically lies with the female. In reality, a third of infertility cases are attributed to the female, a third are attributed to the male, and a third involve both partners or are unexplained. Are there natural ways to improve fertility? In some cases, fertility can be improved through lifestyle changes, such as losing weight or quitting smoking. In women, being overweight or obese may impair ovulation and cause hormonal imbalances, as
well as increase the likelihood of miscarriage and complications during pregnancy. In men, it may result in reduced semen volume or reduced sperm count, making egg fertilization difficult. There is no magic fertility diet, but eating a healthy, well-balanced diet and staying active will help your body function at its highest level, including your reproductive function. Some supplements also promote healthy reproductive function. This includes folic acid, omega 3s and CoQ10 for women; and CoQ10 and zinc for men. When should we see a doctor? In your reproductive years, whether you are actively trying to get pregnant or not, it is important for women to see their gynecologist annually and for men to get a regular wellness checkup. If you are regularly checking in with a physician on your reproductive and overall health, they can track any concerns, point out potential red flags and help you plan for a healthy future. If you have been trying to conceive with no success, or if you are over 35 and are ready to start trying, it is never a bad idea for both partners to get their fertility checked. This initial workup can help you identify any potential issues as early as possible and get a sense of your chances of getting pregnant naturally. Generally speaking, we recommend that couples in which the woman is younger than 35 try for at least 12 months before seeking medical intervention. Because of the decline in egg quantity and quality with age, that period reduces to six months for women over 35. See more answers online at MidwestFertility.com/infertility-questions.

Olp Family Medicine of Carmel:
Providing Direct Primary Care at a Personal Level Writer // Janelle Morrison • Photography // Laura Arick
Are you looking for better health care and a more personalized experience with your physician at an affordable rate? Have you heard about Direct Primary Care and are looking for a Direct Primary Care physician near you? Your search is over—Olp Family Medicine of Carmel is just right around the corner in the Carmel Arts and Design District.
D
r. Ashlie Olp has been serving patients as a family practitioner for 15 years and opened her Direct Primary Care (DPC) practice in Carmel just over a year ago. She is a native of Carmel and graduate of Carmel High School. She currently resides in Carmel with her husband and their two young sons.
After graduating from Indiana University School of Medicine and completing her residency, Dr. Olp began practicing family medicine with the Hoosier Family Health group in 2002. “I knew at a really young age that I wanted to be a doctor,” Dr. Olp said. “I majored in biology at Purdue [University] and then went on to med school at IU. I wanted to
go into family medicine for two reasons: I really like the long-term relationships with patients and continuing care is important to me. The second reason is that I feel it is important to take care of all the members and generations of a family, so I have multigenerational patients from the grandparents to the grandchildren.” Dr. Olp openly shared her personal story on what made her leave the practice that she was with and start her own DPC practice. “What actually drove me to this practice was my personal experience as a patient,” she shared. “I have an odd diagnosis called external iliac artery endofibrosis, where a major artery in my pelvis that takes blood flow to my leg has scar tissue developing on the inside of it. I started having pain in my leg back in 2001 when I ran. Running is my favorite hobby and what I spend my free time doing. I started having all this pain in my leg, and so between 2001 and 2012, I saw 11 different doctors, all different specialties, trying to figure out the cause of my pain. During that time, I also had two surgeries that turned out to be unnecessary and was misdiagnosed, twice. One was by a world-renowned neurosurgeon at The Johns Hopkins Hospital.” Dr. Olp explained that she experienced what most patients experience when calling a doctor’s office: Leaving messages most of the time and not speaking with a live person, only to have to wait a few days before receiving a call back for an appointment that would take another two to three weeks before actually seeing a doctor, with whom she spent an underwhelming 10 minutes. Fast forward, Dr. Olp underwent major surgery at Johns Hopkins in hopes that it would fix her leg but to no avail. “At that point, in 2012, I was in so much pain, and it had become difficult for me to walk,” Dr. Olp said. “I decided to take matters into my own hands and ordered and scheduled my own tests—which I could only do because I’m a doctor. The radiologist called me that night and said you have a 100 percent scarred down iliac artery. You need to go to the ER; you’re going to lose your leg. I had found the diag-

nosis myself and got myself to a surgeon, and he did a bypass graft, which is a major surgery, in September of 2012. I recovered from that surgery, and I could run for the first time in 12 years without any pain.” However, her road to recovery wasn’t complete as a post-pregnancy graft clot in 2014 led to another surgery. In December of 2016, the graft clotted off again, spontaneously. After failed attempts to reach a live person at her new surgeon’s office, on her third attempt she managed to speak to a live human, at which point she explained she needed surgery that very day or she would be at risk of having major complications or the potential loss of her leg. “I had to push and be the ‘squeaky wheel,’ but I finally pushed my way into being admitted to the hospital within hours,” Dr. Olp stated. “If I would’ve been any regular patient, I would’ve said to the receptionist, ‘Thank you very much for getting me in within seven days, whereas I would’ve normally had to wait four weeks,’ and I would’ve suffered major complications. It was already a super risky surgery.” She had five days after the operation to contemplate all that she had been through over the last decade with her diagnosis and surgeries. “I had five days after that [for] convalescence,” she said. “I thought about how our old practice was doing the same things to our patients. Nobody picked up our phones because we were too busy. We would return the calls as often as we could, but my schedule was always full at least two weeks out, and if you were a well patient, it was three months before you could get in. It is ridiculous. I decided that I couldn’t keep doing that, and as I was literally being wheeled out of the hospital, I told my husband that I was quitting my job.” Dr. Olp left her old practice and spent several months researching Direct Primary Care and other alternatives, such as Concierge Practices. She spoke with several doctors who are doing similar things. “I researched the market, looking for other ways to do family medicine,” Dr. Olp explained. “I needed to solve three big
problems: access, time and medical billing. Access to your doctor is a big problem. It doesn’t make sense that I can call the guy who’s going to cut my hair, but I can’t call the person who’s going to cut open my leg. You should be able to talk to your doctor, and you never can.” Dr. Olp was convinced there was a better way to practice family medicine, and DPC is the model she has subscribed to. “I found the DPC model,” she stated. “It’s like a gym membership where you pay a monthly fee, and that gets you 24/7 access to the doctor and all of your primary care for free. I don’t ever bill insurance. My patients who are 26 years and over pay $100 a month and then 25 years and younger pay $35.” Technology has played a big part in Dr. Olp’s ability to treat her patients in real time, remotely, via telemedicine. Telemedicine is remote diagnosis and treatment of patients by means of telecommunications technology—in Dr. Olp’s case, her smartphone and/or laptop. The average appointment with Dr. Olp is anywhere from 45 to 90 minutes long. Her DPC practice has solved the three problems of access, time and billing problems. “I don’t charge for anything that I can do within these four walls,” she emphasized. “You literally get all of your primary care for your monthly fee. The majority of health issues can be taken care of here and chronically managed. I’m not an urgent care center. I want to do chronic disease management too.” Patients can get their blood draws and vaccines out of her office. While she is too small of an account to obtain infant and youth vaccinations, she can administer adolescent and adult vaccines, in addition to a slew of many other in-office procedures at no additional charge. “It’s easy to save money doing this, but the biggest way my patients save money is that almost everything can be taken care of as an outpatient, and if you do it as an outpatient versus going through an ER [emergency room], you save several thousand percent on prices. When you really understand how [DPC] works, you will understand how you will receive better
What actually drove me to this practice was my personal experience as a patient.” health care and save money over the long run. It really comes down to what kind of relationship you [the patient] want with the health care system and your doctor.” The Difference Between Direct Primary Care and Concierge Medicine Models In concierge medicine, there is an annual fee that can be paid in full or split up, but the contract is for the entire year. In DPC, members typically pay a monthly fee and may drop out of the program at any time. In concierge medicine, the annual fee covers an in-depth comprehensive physical with screenings that go beyond what traditional insurance or a government program would support. In DPC, the membership fee generally covers unlimited patient visits. Concierge medicine membership fees tend to be higher than DPC membership fees. DPC membership fees are usually priced on a sliding scale, where younger patients pay less than older patients. Sometimes family rates are available. Most traditional concierge medicine physicians continue to accept insurance plans and government programs, and patient visits are billed in the traditional manner. In DPC, the doctor does not accept third-party reimbursements. The membership fees paid by the patients cover basic visits, and some services are charged separately. While the monthly fees to Olp Family Medicine are not covered by insurance, patients can use their insurance for medical expenses that are incurred outside Olp’s office, such as x-rays and MRIs.

who doesn’t want their favorite artist to be on their side?
THE WORTHY TOUR
What do you enjoy when you’re not performing and creating music? Another thing that is really important to my life is travel. I learn so much through the people that I meet. I’ve had conversations with all kinds of different people. I’ve talked with old African priests and had a chance to talk with Maya Angelou on several occasions. I got to talk to Nelson Mandela one time. Oprah has been a source of inspiration and mentorship. [Arie appeared with Oprah Winfrey on OWN’s “SuperSoul Sunday” television show, conducted a 25-minute “SongVersation” on Oprah’s “SuperSoul Sessions” and showcased her” SongVersation” on Oprah’s Share Your Adventure Cruise.] Anytime I email her about something, she answers back, right away. She’s always so cool. I emailed her the other day—it had something to do with diet—and she answered me right away. I’ve also been able to learn a lot from different elder musicians.

Arising from Atlanta’s rich music scene, India. Arie earned seven Grammy Award nominations with her 2001 debut release, “Acoustic Soul.” She has continued with a string of successful albums (five consecutive Top 10s) and collaborations with artists as diverse as John Mellencamp and Stevie Wonder, whom she accompanied on his historic 2015 Songs in the Key of Life Tour. Among many other awards, Arie’s 21 Grammy nominations have brought four wins, including a Best R&B Album nod for her 2003 release “Voyage to India.” Arie is touring nationally in support of her new, eighth album, “Worthy,” featuring the singles “That Magic,” already a Top 10 R&B hit, and “What If,” a tribute to civil rights pioneers Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks and many more. For tickets and details, visit centerpresents.org.
Looking back over the last three years, what were your experiences that led to the creation of “Worthy”? Most of the time writing and recording this album, I was in a relationship, long term for me. That brings this whole set of lessons, as any adult knows. The songs on this album, anyone listening to them can hear the things I’ve been thinking about. Outside of the subject matter of the songs, I have also learned a lot about writing and producing albums for myself. What does “Worthy” mean to you? In the process of making my last four projects, I’ve been able to be empowered and not have to search for it. I think that comes across in my music in the way that I am able to better articulate a message of empowerment and not talking about searching for it. I’m talking about being it. I think that’s the beauty of the word “worthy.” It’s all-encompassing. Telling someone “You’re worthy” is not saying “You’re good at what you do” or “You’re pretty” or “I like the sound of your voice.” Telling someone “You’re worthy” is basically saying “You deserve to exist.”

I
had the immeasurable pleasure of meeting new residents to Zionsville Jason and Jennifer (Jen) Speedy and their three boys, Jack, Luke and Sean, who moved to town from Edwardsville, Illinois, less than a year ago. I was also introduced to an incredible young man, Santiago (Santi) Rojas, an exchange student from Valladolid, Spain, who has become an “adopted” member of their family and a valued member of the Zionsville Rugby team.
Many may not realize that the Zionsville Rugby Club was established in 2003, has won conferences and championships in previous years and has had 35 of its players go on to play college rugby. I sat down with the Speedys and Rojas to learn more about the exchange program, as well as our town’s rugby team. While rugby is traditionally not as popular as other sports in the U.S., it is a sport with a long and rich history built upon deeply rooted traditions and a culture of respect.

Jen Speedy shared how their hosting Rojas all began, shortly before moving into their newly built home here in Zionsville. She had joined a local community social media page so that she could network, engage and get to know her new community better. She read a post, and with a mother’s heart she responded to it. “There was a post about an exchange student that needed to be rehomed,” Jen said. “School had already started, and Santi was living
34
with Julie Siegal, a coordinator at ETC [Education Travel & Culture]. She was moving outside of the school district and had asked if anyone was interested in hosting an exchange student. I don’t know why, but I immediately thought, ‘Sure. We’re building this house and have an extra bedroom, and we already have three boys who are in different athletic programs.’ It just sounded like a good fit, and I just wanted to offer him a good ‘host’ home.” Jen’s husband, Jason, needed a little more time to process the idea, and with good reason. His family is new to town, in the process of moving into a new home and juggling the schedules of their three active boys. What’s to consider, right? “To be honest, when it was first discussed, I thought that it sounded like a cool idea, but did we really want to do this when we had a lot going on,” Jason said. “But after we met Santi at Bub’s Burgers and then took him on fall break down to Brown County with us, I knew that this was going to be a good fit.” Jen added, “During that short trip [to Brown County], we got to know each other, and he immediately bonded with the little ones. It was like he’s always been around. He is very kind and well-mannered.” The Speedys explained that Rojas had been playing rugby back in Spain and wanted to play while he attended school as a junior at ZCHS. They learned about the club team from Zionsville Rugby Club head coach and co-founder Larry Shiller and signed him up. “I know that rugby is not that popular in the United

States, but I wanted to play here,” Rojas said. “We started practicing in December, and I started making friends. It’s been really nice. Zionsville is amazing. The people are really nice, and the school is awesome. There are so many options and opportunities here.” Rojas admitted that he is not as big a fan of our Hoosier weather. “Compared to how nice everything else is, it [the weather] is not a big deal,” he decided. Throughout his time here, Rojas has been advocating for the club and the sport to help grow the team and general knowledge about the sport. “I play scrum-half or number 9 position,” Rojas explained. “Your number is based on your position [in rugby]. I’m the smallest and fastest guy on the team because I have to follow with the ball, behind everybody, running side to side, nonstop.” Having attended the games, Jen added, “Santi is like a firecracker out there. It is nonstop sprinting.” Similar to American football, each team has to score a “try,” which is worth 5 points.
“A try is the equivalent to a touchdown,” Jason explained. “You get to kick for the extra points, like football,” Rojas added. “I’m also a kicker.” When we sat down for this interview, Rojas and his teammates had just obliterated the Carmel team with an impressive 31-0 finish. While the team was exhilarated by their win over their opponent, Rojas explained that one of the most important traditions of rugby, worldwide, is not only the respect that is shown before and during the game but the shared meal with the opposing team. After every game, the teams and coaches sit down and break bread with one another. “Respect is a big part of it [rugby],” Larry Shiller said. “You respect the referee, the opponents and your teammates.” When asked what he thinks Rojas has brought to the club’s team this year, Shiller said, “He brings his knowledge of the game, and his technique is such that he can play with anyone. He knows what to do and how to do it well. The guys learn from him, and he’s a great addition to the team.

Santi is spirited and brings some of that passion to the game, and that’s infectious to the other guys.” I asked Rojas what he has learned from not only his teammates and coaches but from living with his host family all these months. “There are literally so many things,” he expressed. “One of the main reasons I came here was to learn English. Before I came here, I barely spoke English. When I go back to Spain and take my English classes, it will be super easy, and my friends will be like, ‘Wow.’” Rojas has enjoyed his educational and living experiences well enough that he is seriously contemplating coming back to the States for college, where he wants to study economics. The Speedys
and Shiller are currently researching rugby scholarships on Rojas’ behalf. “I’ve made really good friends here, and all my friends are already planning their senior spring break to come to Spain and visit me,” Rojas said. “I love economics and know that’s what I want to do. I already told my parents that I want to come back [to the U.S.].” Jen concluded, “Our family is already planning a trip to Spain to visit Santi. I don’t know if every host family connects as closely with their child as we have, but we’ve all bonded really strongly.” To learn more about the Zionsville Rugby Club, follow them on Facebook or on Twitter or email zvillerugby@gmail.com.

Honoring Zionsville’s Coach Scott Kubly: On his Induction into the Hall of Fame Writer // Janelle Morrison • Photography // Laura Arick
It is with great pleasure that we feature Zionsville Community High School’s (ZCHS) head coach of boys and girls swimming and diving for 30 years, Scott Kubly
K
ubly was inducted into the Indiana Swimming & Diving Coaches Hall of Fame on April 14, 2019. During his tenure at ZCHS, the student athletes have won 12 individual state titles and three relay titles and have finished as runners-up in nine individual events and six relays. Two of his swimmers have broken individual state records, and the 2017 200-yard Medley Relay set a national record. Three Zionsville swimmers have earned the IHSAA Mental Attitude Award. The Zionsville girls team finished as IHSAA runners-up in 2012, and the boys team have finished as runners-up in 2015, 2016 and 2017. Kubly himself has received numerous IHSSCA Sectional Coach of the Year awards, is a two-time recipient of the IHSSCA Coach of the Year and is a threetime recipient of the Hoosier Crossroads Conference Coach of the Year. Kubly has a Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics from Purdue University and a masters in education administration. When he’s not coaching student athletes along with his colleagues, Kubly teaches Geometry Honors and AP Calculus AB
at ZCHS. “I graduated from Purdue in December of 1988, and being [in December], I wasn’t expecting to find a teaching job, but I got lucky and I did,” Kubly said. “I ended up getting a position at Speedway [Schools], where I taught general math and analytical geometry. I knew going into it that it was going to be a one- and-done type of thing. The school didn’t promise me anything beyond May of that year.” By way of the department chair at Speedway and a small twist of fate, Kubly was led to meet Orlin Coleman, athletic director for ZCHS at that time. “It turned out that they needed a swim coach and a middle school math teacher,” Kubly shared. “I took the job, but I told them that I would like to eventually be at the high school, and they told me that Zionsville ‘might be growing’ and that they ‘might be adding some teachers.’ That was in 1989.” Obviously, the prophecy came true, and Zionsville did grow a little bit. Perhaps it

was his time at the middle school where Kubly’s incredible patience was cultivated. “I taught sixth- and seventh-grade math for three years, and when the high school had an opening, I jumped on it and came over here,” Kubly said. “The girls swim season was in the fall and the boys was in the winter. They weren’t together like they are now. It made for a long season. At that point in time, I didn’t know how long I was going to do this as far as the coaching aspect went. As time went on, the program started growing, and the relationship between the high school team and the Zionsville Swim Club really started to grow, and in 2004 or 2005, they [Zionsville Swim Club] decided they were going to hire a full-time coach. They allowed me to be in a part of the interview because they wanted to establish a relationship between the club coach and the high school team and have the club feed the high school.” The Zionsville Swim Club hired Darrick Thomas, who is now the head coach at Westfield High School. “He set the foundation for what it took for this program to become a real competitive program,” Kubly stated. “That spilled into the high school because in 2006 the girls won their first sectional [title], and they haven’t lost one since. Darrick left, and we hired our current club coach, Eric Meyer, who took what Darrick established, and we have just thrived with his leadership of the club and with the full-time age group coach, which was initially Holly Day and is now Don Cozad. It’s just neat to see how the program has changed and evolved.”
Developing Student Athletes Kubly shared what it takes to develop the athletes while balancing academics, swimming and life in general. “The key word there is balance,” Kubly said. “That’s even from the coaching side of it too. It’s about the balance between treating the students as people and establishing a relationship with them. You want to talk with them about how they’re doing on the academic side of it, and on the other side, we’ve had some great things happen outside of the pool and we’ve had some

not-so- great things happen where we’ve had to provide support for them too. We want to be there for our students for the good and the bad—whenever they need our support.”
Support of the Community Running a successful swimming and diving program involves the students and coaches, but Kubly emphasized their success is also due in part to the support the program receives from the administration and parents. “One of the things that I’ve always said is that I want this program to cause the least amount of headaches for the administration as possible,” Kubly quipped. “I do think that, from our end of it, that gives us support from the administration side of the program. From day one, the parents have been phenomenal. They are there for us through thick and thin and are there for the away meets. It’s a great culture.”
The Future of the Program Looking toward the future of the program, Kubly said, “One of the goals is to maintain the quality of the program, and that comes from the coaches. We don’t want to be so rigid that we can’t be flexible, yet we want to maintain our standards that the kids from the past have gone through and [that we] expect from the upcoming students.” While many of the swimmers are involved with the Zionsville Swim Club, Kubly shared that he and Coach Meyers would like to see more students involved, especially in the off-season. Kubly added that the coaches will continue to focus on developing and maintaining relationships with the swimmers. “We want them to know that we are on their side,” Kubly stressed. “They need to know that no matter if they’re a state champion or swim in the JV meet at the end of the season, what they do at each end of the spectrum is important and each one of them matters. That inclusion is what gets passed on from season to season, and it’s what makes the Zionsville Swimming legacy so great.”
The Hall of Fame Induction When asked what was going through his mind while he was inducted into the Indiana Swimming & Diving Coaches Hall of Fame, he replied, “Not deserving. The credit really goes to Eric and the club. We work together, and while he does a certain part of the program and I do another, we collaborate, and it works out very well.” He shared a moment from the night of the induction banquet. “When I was sitting at the banquet and just kind of taking it all in, I was like, ‘Wow, who would’ve ever thought 30 years ago that we’d even be talking about anything like this.’ Even though I feel it’s undeserved, it has been pretty neat to see ZCHS represented in the Hall of Fame.”
Congratulations, Coach! Here’s a few words from your former swimmers: “Coach Kubly is an incredible positive influence on the team. He always has a smile on his face and something encouraging to say! I really enjoyed my time being coached by him.” Tessa Wrightson “Scott Kubly was one of my favorite swim coaches because he genuinely loved swimming and wanted to see every single person on the team improve. Whether it was the swimmers who swam year-round or someone who was just trying it out for the year, he gave each person quality individual attention that made an enormous difference in at least my experience. He is a true lover of the sport and that always translated into his coaching of the high school team! He was also very supportive of me and my teammates while we swam at Purdue, and that always made us feel support from our team in Zionsville! He is an extremely worthy recipient of this hall of fame honor.” Taite Kitchel “Kubs was a great coach during my time at Zionsville and even through my time at Purdue. He is always encouraging me, in and out of the pool. While I’ve been at Purdue with my fellow Zionsville teammates,

he has always stayed in touch and shared his Purdue pride with us! I had the opportunity to be a student in one of his calculus classes as well—seeing him as both a coach and a teacher shows that he is extremely dedicated to helping his students and his athletes. He is always cracking jokes and making light-hearted conversation when we come back to visit, and I will miss our chats on the deck between practices now that I am retired from swimming. Kubs—congratulations on this major achievement! You deserve it, and I am happy to have been a part of your coaching legacy!” Cally Sampson “Coach Kubly was such a great coach and is extremely deserving of the hall of fame honor. Kubly is energetic, motivational, funny, and most importantly, he really gets to know his athletes. Kubly knows that swimming is so much more than just the sport. He makes great efforts to get to know his athletes and students personally and uses that knowledge to push his swimmers to be the best they can be. I am appreciative of the time and effort he constantly dedicates to his students and athletes. Kubly would not only focus on the best people on the team—he made it a goal to improve each member, no matter the skill level, and is responsible for a lot of the growth on the team. I feel grateful to have had his support throughout high school as my coach, and now his support while I swim at Purdue with other girls from Zionsville swimming. Congrats to Kubly on this amazing honor!” Cassidy Sampson “Scott Kubly has dedicated his life to the sport of swimming and is deserving of this recognition. Long hours in the pool teach life lessons, and Scott never misses an opportunity to do this. I still draw back on these experiences when I need to find strength and determination in my adult life. My fondest memories are moments spent with my teammates. Thanks, Scott!” Shannon Eaton

Zionsville’s Literal Trailblazers Try for State Grant Writer // Janelle Morrison • Photography // Theresa Skutt and submitted
The good weather days are upon us, and it is time to get out and enjoy any of Zionsville’s 19 parks and many trails that are part of what makes our town an incredible place to live, work and play.
M
att Dickey, director of the Zionsville Parks Department, weighed in on the parks and trails expansion plans. The current map of parks and trails (as pictured) shows the parks and the Big 4 Trail as it exists, along with the proposed north and south extensions. “In acres per thousand of population, we have more acres per capita than any of our neighbors, including Carmel,” Dickey shared. “Now, part of that is because Carmel is so big. We are a little bit unusual from a traditional municipal system, which might have a predominance of parks with playgrounds and ballfields or whatever [Lions Park is privately owned by the Zionsville Lions Club], and we developed more like a small county system in the State of Indiana. A county

system has more streams and trails and ‘passive’ recreational, self-directed activities.” Inarguably, Zionsville’s parks and trails system has grown into an impressive menu of outdoor amenities over the years, and it’s only going to get better. Dickey shared with us the details of the Next Level Trails Grant that he and his team have applied for. If awarded, the grant would connect a quarter mile at each of the proposed north and south ends of the Big 4 Trail, connecting the existing corridor to the Whitestown and Carmel trail connections, essentially connecting over 500 miles of continuous paved pathways. As part of Governor Holcomb’s Next Level Connections infrastructure program, Next Level Trails (NLT) is designed to incentivize collaborative efforts to accelerate trail connections. Next Level Trails will invest $90

million—the largest infusion of state trail funding in Indiana history—toward the development of regionally and locally significant trails throughout Indiana. The DNR Division of Outdoor Recreation is administering the program in conjunction with the Indiana Department of Transportation. This grant—an 80/20% match—would begin round one having a total dollar amount of $20–$25 million for projects of regional significance and $5 million for those of local significance. “The [Next Level Trails] grant promotes connectivity,” Dickey explained. “It also talks about regional and local trails. We are a regional trail because this corridor goes all the way up to Lafayette, Indiana. We, Zionsville, started working on [the trail] back in the ’90s. We were done with our piece [of the regional trail] before it was seen by the state as a visionary trail. We [Parks Board] also established the Greenspace
Foundation in 1999 through the Community Foundation of Boone County.” The Green Space Foundation was established for acquisition of real estate and/or conservation easements for park or nature preserve use. “The foundation was started by the [Park] board, and some park board members, staff and a few citizens fundraised, which generated a little over $10,000,” Dickey shared. “Those funds have been sitting and waiting for the right green space project, and I think this is it.” Dickey called Kristi Reynolds, executive director at Community Foundation of Boone County, and explained that he would need to pull the funds from the foundation’s account, that it is an 80/20 program and that he would need fiscal partners as part of the grant’s criteria. “She [Kristi] said she thought it was a great idea and that she had discretionary funds of up to $5,000, so we had another $5K after that phone call,” Dickey
exclaimed. “She urged me to present the need for fiscal partners as part of the grant application process to her board, which I did a few weeks ago, and they voted to give us another $5,000. So, we are now up to some $22,000 for the purposes of this grant application.” The Next Level Trails Grant is fiercely competitive with over 80 applicants in the mix. Dickey is hoping to be awarded the grant in the first round, which should be announced in the coming days, as the grant applicants were told to expect the winner of round one to be announced in May. We will provide our readers with an update on this story once the grant winner has been announced.
