As fall approaches, our Facebook feeds dissolve into never-ending memes about pumpkin spice, scarfs, Uggs and falling leaves, and our minds turn to planning Halloween parties and trick-or-treating. But if you're part of a select group of radical folks, your mind has been on something far more festive for months.

Join the Broad Ripple Village Association and local village businesses for the "Broad Ripple Boo Bash" for a fun evening of trick-or-treating! Bring your little monster in their costume to the businesses displaying the "Trick or Treat" sign for a treat. Visit the BRVA for more details.

Broad Ripple Zombie Walk has become the heart of fall for many Broad Ripple residents as they take to the streets to raise canned food donations for Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana. Now in its 11th year, it has been a great adventure to watch it turn from the canned food collection and solo flash mob into a family-friendly Carnival of the Undead along with a Family Zombie Feast. Plus, for those participants over the age of 21, there’s a Zombie Prom!

This year’s event promises to be bigger and better than ever before!

THE CREATIVE GENIUS BEHIND JUMBLE Writer / Kara Kavensky Photography provided

Jeff Knurek and David L. Hoyt share a unique partnership. Over the past eight years, Jeff took over illustrating the Jumble puzzle and was joined by David in 2011, becoming the most syndicated puzzle team on the planet. With a distribution through more than 600 newspapers via the Tribune syndicate, they reach more than 70 million people each day.

The popularity of the Jumble puzzle has led to several books and games celebrating their syndicated puzzles. Jeff and David headlined an event honoring the history of the Jumble to a sold-out crowd at Tribune Tower last year in Chicago.

When Jeff began cartooning for the Jumble, he became the most syndicated puzzle creator on the planet. “Anyone is fair game of being featured in the cartoon,” shares Jeff who finds inspiration everywhere. “My daughter and son are swimmers (at HSE), and I have featured their coach, the team, people at my gym…”

One such featured caricature was of yoga and spin instructor Greta Wilson whose inspired image graced the cover of one of Jeff and David’s books.

“Jeff and Kathy attended my cycle class, and we subsequently became great friends,” shares Greta. “It was a fun surprise that my likeness inspired a Jumble cartoon. My husband and I remain close friends with Jeff and Kathy. They are just great people.”

Originally, Jeff ’s agent introduced the duo. The agent suggested that Jeff connect with David regarding a game idea of Jeff ’s. A poker fan,

Jeff had designed a new take on the game, Hi/Lo. David interrupted and said, “I know what you are going to show me. Come here.”

David led Jeff to his computer where he showed him something he was working on which was basically the exact same idea Jeff had.

“Clearly we are like-minded in our thought processes,” says Jeff.

David asked Jeff if he could draw cartoons. David, who is known as “The Man Who Puzzles America,” tested him on the spot, having Jeff sketch something on a napkin. David loved the impromptu illustration, even though to Jeff, it was a poor rendering. “That drawing was awful,” confesses Jeff, but David thought it was great. “I was offered $10 per sketch. I created over 3,000 sketches for Dave,” shares Jeff.

Those 3,000 sketches accompanied David’s Jumble puzzles in a bar top gaming system. Not long after this joint venture, they began their syndication with Tribune with Boggle BrainBusters.

While the Jumble puzzle became their bread and butter, David and Jeff keep busy creating and designing additional games, both together and independently. Both are award-winning game designers. Each has created board games, electronic games and apps.

The two also manage licensing for Comedy Magician Mac King who has a popular show in Vegas. Jeff and David help market and license for Mac’s Magic in a Minute magic kits and other merchandise.

A lesser-known fact about Jeff is that while he worked at his first job as a toy inventor in Chicago years ago, he created the game, Spikeball.

Spikeball, which has become a sport, was featured on Shark Tank last year. “It was wild watching my invention on Shark Tank,” says

10 / BROAD RIPPLE MAGAZINE / OCTOBER 2016 / atBRip.com

Jeff. “The guys (who now own the trademark) were asked if they had invented it, and to their credit, they told the truth and said, ‘No, they bought the trademark when it expired.’ And now I can’t go to a beach or park without seeing my invention.”

Jeff confesses that once he got over his frustration at this experience, he explained that Spikeball originally went to market for three years and was subsequently removed from the shelves due to poor response. Who could have foreseen what the future held? Jeff adds, “I am really proud of what those guys have done with it.”

“As we did a college visit with my daughter recently to IU, I noticed a flier posted in the natatorium for a Spikeball club,” says Jeff. “It’s everywhere.”

Jeff lives in Fishers, and many parents may recognize Jeff ’s efforts with past Spring Fling game themes at Fall Creek Elementary. “We went all out with the games,” says Jeff, whose kids are now at HSE HS. The latest fundraising effort that Jeff is involved with capitalizes on the Jumble and places him, along with David, in their element with “Jumble Live,” a fundraiser benefitting Indy Reads Adult Literacy programming October 18 downtown at the Hyatt Regency.

“This is an event for wordy people,” states Jeff with a smile. These are his, and David’s, tribe.

For Jumble Live, teams of eight wear the same letters as other teams and must be the first team to complete the puzzles presented by the host. The event is capped at 160 participants with many more attending for the entertainment value. “We are splitting the event to be half ‘Giant Word Winder’ and half ‘Jumble Live,’” shares Jeff.

“This allows everyone to have fun.”

“We are so excited to be presenting Jumble Live this fall,” said Indy Reads outgoing Executive Director Travis DiNicola. “Jeff and David have been great supporters of Indy Reads for years, donating artwork and their books to our auctions, appearing at our Indy Reads Books bookstore and contributing to our book, ‘Indy Writes Books.’ Working with them in moving the Jumble off the page to the stage has been so much fun. It is going to be one of the most unusual fundraising events ever!”

David, who is by far the most syndicated puzzle creator in the world right now, spent much of his summer in Chicago libraries, playing Giant Word Winder with kids in summer camps. On October 18, he gets to apply the fun to adults.

The 54th Monon Shops Writer / Leia Barker . Photographer / Stephanie Duncan

54th Street near the Monon Trail was once a heavy industrial area featuring manufacturing and welding. The Monon railway was busy with loaded boxcars hauling materials to be unloaded to these businesses. The area is now alive with people enjoying themselves at restaurants, shopping at boutique stores, watching the activity with a glass of wine at an outside table and using the Monon Trail.

D

ave Reese grew up on 54th Street near the Monon Trail, playing in the cornfields that he later saw developed into manufacturing and warehouse businesses. Eventually, he purchased these buildings to provide offices and warehouses to store cabinets for his growing business, Reese Kitchens, which he and his wife Suzy owned for over 20 years. The first building he acquired was at 1057 E. 54th St. It was the Woods Wire factory. Then it was home for Reese Kitchens, and now it’s the newly remodeled Ferguson Kitchen, Bath and Lighting Gallery showroom.

The drive along the east side of Ferguson’s Gallery reveals new construction for the addition of 10 new spaces for shops. A new shop named Random Acts of Flowers is a nonprofit that takes flowers left from weddings and funerals and repurposes them for patients in nursing homes and hospitals that can’t afford flowers. Near the back of the building is what Mass Ave Toys will occupy in January 2017.

Pastry Shop, is where Lou Jenn started Jenn-Air Appliances, and several other well-known Indianapolis companies also started in that building.

In 1999, Suzy and Dave needed additional space for their business, so they bought the building at 1134 E. 54th, which was the original Central Indiana Hardware building. This building was where steel doors were welded and fabricated. It now hosts Posh Petals, a floral shop known for their exuberant color; So-Be-Fit, an exercise studio; and Nicole-Taylors, a pasta shop. Suzy and Dave then purchased the building next door to Reese Kitchens at 1101 E. 54th to have additional space. It had been the home of Throp Awnings.

“Each business is different and has its own personality and charm,” shares Suzy. “We have really enjoyed creating a community of unique shops that offer a large array of products and services including fine art, personal exercise training, framing and art restoration, floral design, wedding Since selling their business to Ferguson gowns, Italian pizza, European pastries, in 2012, the Reeses are delighted in cold pressed juices, unique games and toys, their second careers as developers. cabinets, appliances, lighting, antiques, Remodeling their buildings into a vibrant upholstery workshops, mural artists, fresh-made pasta, beautiful wall coverings area for commerce is gratifying for both and fabrics, custom dress designing and of them. gourmet donuts.”

Marianne Glick CONTINUING A FAMILY LEGACY AND CREATING ONE OF HER OWN

Writer / Kara Kavensky Photographer / Brian Brosmer

Marianne Glick knows no stranger.

Everyone she sees walk into the new offices of The Eugene and Marilyn Glick Foundation receives a warm smile and a hug. As Chairman of The Glick Family Foundation Board of Directors, Marianne is honoring her passion for helping others.

Giving has been a common theme, established throughout Marianne’s

Marianne’s mother, Marilyn Koffman, was born in Detroit. Her birth mother died during childbirth, and her birth father never returned for the baby. Marilyn was adopted when she was 6 months old.

Marilyn’s adoptive father passed away “There are so many people who don't when she was 10. Several years later, she have the opportunities that I have had,” and her mother moved to Indianapolis shares Marianne. “As a community and where Marilyn attended Shortridge High as a society, we have to be able to assist School. They lived in a home just down the others and provide opportunities to help street from a young man named Eugene develop their full potential in a variety (Gene) Glick. Gene was a year older than of ways.”

Marilyn. Their mothers were friends, and life by her mother and father. Eugene and Marilyn were so focused on giving back to the community that they have collectively changed the landscape of the city of Indianapolis.

TownePost.com / OCTOBER 2016 / INDY METRO

they attended the same Temple.

After graduation from Shortridge, Gene attended Indiana University where during the summer of his senior year in 1942, he was drafted into the Army. His story is shared in Tom Brokaw’s “The Greatest Generation” and in Mickey Mauer’s “19 Stars of Indiana: Exceptional Hoosier Men.”

Not long after the war ended, Marilyn needed one more person for a bridge party, and her mother suggested she “invite that nice Gene Glick over.” They hit it off and were married two years later.

“Dad worked issuing GI loans at a bank, and Mom worked at Meridian Life Insurance Co.,” shares Marianne of her parents’ early start. “Before they married, they had

managed to save close to $10,000 and looked for land for building their first home. This began their business.”

Gene and Marilyn started a home building and real estate company together during their first year of marriage. Marilyn and Gene were both good salespeople. They worked together on all aspects of the decisionmaking. Gene was in charge of construction, and Marilyn would select and pick up the supplies. One time, she had a flat tire along Fall Creek Parkway and had to call Gene to help her. She routinely hauled a flat bed trailer behind her car and had a load of cinder block, wood and materials upon it the day of the tire incident. The work crew was waiting on those supplies but first had to fix her flat.

As their family grew, Marilyn’s role transitioned to being at home, although she was still very much involved in the business. Marilyn would later recall in the memoir she published at the age of 85, “Once Upon a Lifetime,” that these early years were among the happiest of her life.

Giving back to the community was a constant for the Glick girls as they grew up. Marianne is the oldest and has three younger sisters. Their parents believed wholeheartedly in philanthropy. Most of their initial philanthropic involvement was centered around Jewish causes, and then in the 1970s and 1980s, they broadened their scope.

“Gene Glick, along with his wife, Marilyn, are among the most generous philanthropists in recent Indianapolis history, and that continues today in their honor,” says Mickey Maurer, Chairman of the Board of the IBJ Corporation and of The National Bank of Indianapolis.

Marianne’s first deep dive into philanthropy began with the Women's Business Initiative in the mid-80s. She was just started her own corporate training business and became very impressed with the level of support

INDY METRO / OCTOBER 2016 / TownePost.com

provided to women-owned businesses thru the WBI.

Project Committee (GIPC), then later the Children’s Bureau.

By the following year, Marianne chaired their annual conference and entered into the organization’s leadership. “It was inspirational to make a difference in women's lives,” she shares of the experience with the WBI. Thanks to her presidency of the WBI, Tom Binford approached her to lead the first women’s division of a United Way campaign.

This was a first in Indiana and one of only a few in the country at that time.

The following year, Marianne joined the United Way of Central Indiana’s (UWCI) Board. She was one of three women on this more than 90-member board. Marianne saw a vast opportunity in this discrepancy.

After her father became ill, Marianne began reassessing the Pro100 program.

By the program’s 30th anniversary, numbers were down to around 80 students in Indianapolis. The program had evolved away from golf courses, maintaining primarily an outdoor focus

“We clearly needed more women on the UWCI board and other nonprofit boards in the city. When we asked, the men said they did not know of women qualified for board positions,” states Marianne.

She worked with Ellen Annala, who had just started on United Way’s staff, to create the Women’s Leadership Program to provide training for women to serve on volunteer boards. This program is still in existence 26 years later. “Within five years, one-third of UWCI’s board was women.” Marianne is still actively involved with United Way. In 2011, she led the first annual campaign to raise over $40 million.

“If there is a cause that I am passionate about, I meet with the CEO to see if I assist in some way,” says Marianne, who is clearly not shy about her passionate commitment to community service.

In 1982, Gene began a youth employment program called Pro100.

The idea behind Pro100 was to match 100 Indianapolis-area students with local golf pros. The students completed beautification projects on the golf courses and gained exposure to landscape architecture and design, construction and groundskeeping.

Early origins of this program were run under the Greater Indianapolis

on college campus projects such as Marian University where professional development classes were offered in the afternoon to the students.

In August 2014, Pro100 became TeenWorks. In 2016, TeenWorks provided jobs and professional development training as well as assistance with college choices and applications – 325 in Indianapolis.

The Muncie chapter of TeenWorks saw enrollment increase from 20 students to 70. With a proactive stance, TeenWorks secured additional funding and is flourishing as an organization. The rebranding was just what was needed, and this all happened, thanks to Marianne’s vision coupled with an outstanding staff and board of directors.

"The Glick family's positive impact upon our city cannot be overstated," says Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett. "From the Cultural Trail to their Housing Foundation to TeenWorks and beyond, their generosity continues to enhance lives, making our city stronger. While Marianne honors the legacy of her parents, she is a leader and inspiration in her own right."

In addition to all of her philanthropic endeavors, Marianne is an artist. She donates quite a bit of her art to be used in silent auctions to raise money for various organizations.

“My parents were collectors,” says Marianne who has always shared an appreciation of art. Her mother’s collection of glass is on display at the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis.

Marianne’s creative style, aesthetic and techniques have evolved over the last 10 years since she began painting.

“It is an out-of-body experience to see my art properly displayed and well-lit with appropriate wall spacing,” says Marianne who is a guest speaker for the Indiana Conference for Women at the end of October.

In a world of change, our focus is steadfast.

“Marianne is a lovable free spirit with multidirectional deep talents. She can motivate you, amuse you and inspire you – a great lady to invite to dinner,” says family friend Mickey Mauer.

Marianne was a challenge for her parents when she was younger. She jokes that she mellowed out and came into her own when she reached the age of 50. Now Marianne does things every day that she hopes her parents would be proud of. “My Mom, if she could see what I am doing now, would say, ‘Gee, she didn’t turn out so bad after all. Who knew?’” says Marianne with a shrug and a smile.

The Glick Foundation builds community and creates opportunities.

DEBUTS AT BEEF & BOARDS Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre will present its premiere production of Stephen Sondheim’s enchanting musical, Into the Woods starting Oct. 6. The Brothers Grimm hit the stage in this epic fairy tale about wishes, family and the choices we make.

The story follows a Baker (Don Farrell) and his wife (Meaghan Sands), who wish to have a child; Cinderella (Amanda Downey), who wishes to attend the King's Festival; and Jack (Danny Kingston), who wishes his cow would give milk. When the Baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a Witch's curse, the two set off on a journey to break it. They venture into the woods where they meet Cinderella and Jack, who are each on their own quests. Everyone's wish is granted, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later with disastrous results.

James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim take favorite storybook characters and bring them together for a timeless, yet relevant, piece. The Tony Award-winning book and score are both

enchanting and touching. Originally opening on Broadway in 1987, Into the Woods was brought to the big screen by Disney in 2014, earning three Oscar nominations and starring Meryl Streep as the Witch, James Corden as the Baker, Johnny Depp as the Wolf, Emily Blunt as the Baker’s Wife, and Anna Kendrick as Cinderella.

Into the Woods is on stage for 51 performances through Nov. 20 in the intimate space of Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre. Tickets range from $41 to $66 and include Chef Odell Ward’s dinner buffet and select beverages. Parking is always free. For reservations, call the box office at 317.872.9664 anytime between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m.

Tuesday through Sunday and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays.

Discounts are available to groups of 20 or more; contact the Group Sales Department for more details.

STEVE ROSS CELEBRATES

30 YEARS

OF OWNING THE VOGUE Writer / Kara Kavensky Photographer / Stephanie Duncan

A signed bronze star was given to Carl Neisse, original owner of The Vogue, by friends of his from Hollywood to commemorate its opening in 1938.

Autographs on the bronze star include 28 of the biggest names in Hollywood circa 1938.

A few were from Indiana, including Carole Lombard who is from Fort Wayne. Other movie stars include John Barrymore, Fred Astaire, Gary Cooper, Myrna Loy, Clark Gable, Ginger Rogers, Bing Crosby, Shirley Temple and Barbara Stanwyck. Neisse owned the venue for the first 18 years.

The first movie to premiere was “College

Swing” with Burns and Allen, Martha Raye and Bob Hope. Comedians Olsen and Johnson ceremonially bought the first two tickets to the venue at a cost of $0.25 for adults and $0.15 for children.

earned a degree in radio and television from Indiana University. After graduating, Steve moved to Chicago to break into the radio scene when his older brother, John, asked if he wanted to buy The Bluebird.

The signed bronze star was lost for a period of 20-25 years before current owner Steve Ross was able to track it down. The star is now a permanent fixture in the sidewalk in front of the box office.

After moving from Chicago to Bloomington, Steve found a partner and bought The Bluebird in October 1981. “My brother had me work at The Vogue for six months as boot camp to see if I liked it,” says Steve. “I started as a door man, did security, became a bartender, handled payroll and loved every minute of it.”

Steve was born in Indianapolis and split his childhood between Washington, Indiana and Indy’s north side where he attended Park School, Northview and started high school at North Central. Steve graduated from Washington High School and then atBrip.com / OCTOBER 2016 / BROAD RIPPLE MAGAZINE / 25

John then sold Steve The Vogue in 1986.

He also bought The Patio and owned it until it closed, and Steve owned Jake’s in

Bloomington which he bought in 1991.

Steve sold both The Bluebird and Jake’s to his booking manager, Dave Kubiak, in 2004.

Where the idea originated to convert the historic Vogue theater into a nightclub is one of family controversy.

Their mom, Linda Hanika, a former real estate developer, takes full credit for the concept. John strongly disputes this assertion. Steve chooses to wisely remain neutral on the issue.

In the mid-‘90s, Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay had a band and performed a benefit concert at The Vogue. “He brought in his friend Stephen Stills, who played with them throughout the entire gig,” says Steve.

During a concert to benefit Riley Children's Hospital (before Peyton’s name graced a different children’s hospital wing), Peyton Manning was on stage throwing footballs into the crowd. “We wanted one in the balcony, and boom! He was crazy accurate,” shares Steve. “Having Peyton Manning throwing footballs from The Vogue stage was a bit surreal.”

“May of 1986 is when I bought The Vogue from John,” says Steve. “That's when it got really fun. I have been able to maintain this as a cool entertainment venue by keeping up “Musician David Crosby was a solid the original vibe.” individual and so humble,” recalls Steve, who spoke with Crosby after his “You've made it if you have played at The performance in 1988 with Graham Nash.

sold out shows with Willie Nelson. “Those shows sold out in a flash. It’s so incredible he was willing to play a smaller venue.

Each time, he would come out and play 2½ hours straight,” says Steve. “He'd start out with his acoustic guitar and sometimes was accompanied by members of his family, but it was just an incredible show each time.

Willie Nelson was a taskmaster. He came in, performed and left.”

In 2003, John Mellencamp toured with Joss Stone. Stone headlined a show during that tour at The Vogue, and Mellencamp performed a couple songs with her. “He was in the audience just to see her perform,” recalls Steve. “While rehearsing earlier in the day, Joss Stone came up into our office to say hello to everyone, barefoot.”

A surprise show occurred with Bonnie Raitt in 1989. During her performance, John Fogarty, who is good friends with Bonnie and was on tour simultaneously, surprised everyone by showing up and playing three to four songs with Bonnie. “That was a

WHAT’LL SHE DO?

Writer & Photographer / Stephanie Duncan

Sharon explained when talking about the beginnings of the show. Sharon and her then co-host Lynn Stafford decided to use the tagline ‘What’ll We Do?’ to relate to that original title, and sometimes, listeners think that’s the name of the show. Travis joined later and has been Sharon’s co-host for 16 years.

Sharon Gamble, co-host of WFYI’s arts talk show, “The Art of the Matter,” might be one of very few people who have a business card for her house. It’s printed on durable card stock with her name, the name of her house, “Hydrangea House,” and her contact info.

“Sometimes, you need a card that isn’t for your business,” Sharon explained. “And I like Sharon wanted this show to be different. alliterations!” she added.

“I wanted to talk about art as not what you should do, but rather what you want to do,” This might seem odd to have a business she explained. She wanted to talk about art card for your home, but with someone who in a fun and lively way to educate people has pursued many interests and careers, who might not normally attend art-related it seems completely acceptable. Along events. “You don’t need a formal education with her weekly radio show, Sharon is also to appreciate art,” she expressed. “You don’t the VP of Development at the Indiana have to know the language to know if you Landmarks Society. like something or not.” Sharon is adamant in making sure interviews on the show are easy Sharon loves to tell stories. Whether it’s about to understand, so any person can listen and tending to her garden, divulging historical comprehend the material. snippets about her arts and crafts home in downtown Indianapolis or how she landed Now listeners can expect something her first radio gig, Sharon can draw people in different again from the show. With Travis because she tells stories well. After 17 years gone, Sharon will now be the sole host but (and counting!) of hosting her well-known with more voices contributing throughout. arts talk show on WFYI, Sharon has plenty of “Nobody’s Travis. And anything that stories to tell! With longtime co-host Travis changes the critical element will change the DiNicola moving out of state, the show is show, but the heart of the program will be going through some major changes, and the same,” Sharon said. She wants people Sharon is excited for the new opportunity. to be intrigued enough to want to find out more about their local art opportunities.

“We originally wanted the show to be called ‘What Do You Know?’ but the station had Instead of three long form interviews, there already named it ‘The Art of the Matter,’” will be six to eight shorter interviews with atBrip.com / OCTOBER 2016 / BROAD RIPPLE MAGAZINE / 29

more guest hosts contributing. Along with artist interviews, there will be a new food and beverage segment with a special guest host, focusing on local craft beer breweries and local restaurants. “There has been a craft beer and restaurant explosion in Indiana!”

Sharon beamed. With all these local chefs opening new restaurants, she excited about the future of food in Indiana. There will also be an arts news segment covering local art news in Indiana. With more interviews and new segments, the show will definitely be different, but Sharon says the intent will always be the same: “To get people interested in the arts!”

Travis is also excited for his former co-host and friend and her future with the show.

“I can’t count the number of times people have asked me if Sharon is really as nice in person as she comes across on the radio,” said Travis. “She is! Sharon is one of the nicest and smartest people I have ever had the pleasure to work with. Now that I’m moving, I’ve realized one of the things I’m going to miss the most is getting together with Sharon every Monday night to record our ‘What’ll We Do’ calendar for the show.

We really do say in-sync (almost) every time! I guess now the question is ‘What’ll She Do?’” You can listen to “The Art of the Matter” Thursdays at 8 p.m. on 90.1 WFYI Public Radio. The show is rebroadcast on Saturdays at 7 a.m.

ART APPRECIATION WHILE GETTING AN OIL CHANGE Writer / Stephanie Duncan

Public art and oil changes are two things that don’t normally go together, but that’s exactly what Jiffy Lube of Indianapolis and Department of Public Words are planning – community involvement through art.

of Public Words might seem like an unlikely pairing, but owner Steve Sanner is passionate about the communities that his business are in, and when he noticed a rise in vandalism and graffiti of his properties, he had a creative solution – art.

It’s hard to drive through Indianapolis without seeing the positive messages from Department of Public Words. The big, positive “You are beautiful” phrase adorns many buildings around Indianapolis, including the Murphy Building in Fountain Square.

Public art and murals dissuade people from vandalizing public property, so murals designed by local Indiana artists are planned for installation on the sides of Jiffy Lubes all over Indiana, starting with Indianapolis.

Jiffy Lube and Department of Public Words want to give exposure to local artists that people may have not heard of before.

Jiffy Lube of Indiana and Department

So far, six murals have been confirmed. The 34 / BROAD RIPPLE MAGAZINE / OCTOBER 2016 / atBRip.com

first mural is going on the Carmel location at 116th and Keystone and was designed by local Indiana artist Justin Cooper. This big mural showcases a beautiful large blue heron with the word “Breathe.” This design is inspired by Carmel artist Franklin Booth (1874-1948).

The mural that will go on the Broad Ripple Jiffy Lube location was started at the end of August and was painted by people in the Broad Ripple community.

Each mural will encourage community involvement and get people to help.

“People are delighted by the opportunity to paint,” Holly Combs said. Combs, the executive director of Department of

Public Words, helps find artists for the project along with her husband, Dave Combs, program director and co-founder of Department of Public Words. “There is no pressure to do right or wrong,” Dave added when talking about getting volunteers to help paint these murals.

Holly and Dave hope that these murals will help the local communities take ownership of their neighborhood. “It humanizes a place that changes your oil,” Holly said.

“It’s important to us that people know that Jiffy Lube is not just a place to get an oil change. Steve cares about people and the community,” she added.

Each of the murals will have a word that will accompany the image. They will all have something encouraging as part of the artwork to give it that Department of Public Words style. “We here at Department of Public Words want to encourage people,” added Megan Jefferson who helps coordinate the mural projects for Department of Public Words. This is a big project to tackle, and Jiffy Lube and the team at Department of Public Words has willing help. Pennzoil recognized the benefits of taking pride in local communities and is donating money as well as Torchlight, the marketing firm for Jiffy Lube and the Broad Ripple Village Association. atBrip.com / OCTOBER 2016 / BROAD RIPPLE MAGAZINE / 35

“Jiffy Lube is using funding normally used for radio ads, and Steve is hoping to inspire other businesses to put ad revenue back into their local communities,” said Melanie Allen, a Torchlight representative.

This project is just beginning, and there will be more murals to come.

Department of Public Words and Jiffy Lube are still accepting artist submissions for the third mural, which will be at 82nd and Allisonville. There are six murals planned, but with 27 Indianapolis locations, there’s definitely potential for this project to grow.
