and friends, O’Dea decided to extend this service to the community.

Dinosaur-shaped sugar cookies. Red velvet whoopie pies. Cookie dough-filled chocolate cupcakes. Just thinking about these sweets can make you feel happy, and that’s the goal of Tracy O’Dea, owner and operator at Main Street Treats in Carmel.

The idea for Main Street Treats started with O’Dea’s love for celebrating events, big and small, with food.

“We want everyone to be able to experience the special memories that are created with having a unique cake and party theme,” she says.

“We love being able to put a smile on a customer’s face,” says O’Dea, who opened Main Street Treats in November 2017. The store is located a stone’s throw from the Monon Trail in downtown Carmel. “There is no better feeling than to watch the

“Our family always enjoyed celebrating everything in our lives,” she says. “We always tried to incorporate a theme but often found it difficult to find exactly what we were looking for. To solve this problem, we usually just made it ourselves.”

After many years of providing custommade cakes, cupcakes and treats for family 6 / CARMEL MAGAZINE / NOVEMBER 2018 / atCarmel.com

O’Dea says she was blessed to grow up in a family that owned a small restaurant business, so this helped her when it came time to take the leap to open her own business.

“This background taught me the daily operations of running a small business and the managerial side as well,” O’Dea says. “I

have done everything from washing dishes to managing employees.”

Along with custom cakes, O’Dea and her team at Main Street Treats also offer decorated sugar cookies, cookie platters and sample treat platters. And if candy is more your thing, the store also offers a variety to purchase — everything from chocolate bars to gummy hamburgers and pizza.

“I enjoy working with our customers to create something unique for them,” she says.

For O’Dea, it’s not just about fulfilling orders but also about fulfilling her need to create something artistic.

BUILDING WEALTH. One personalized portfolio at a time.

“I love creating cakes and sugar cookies because it provides a way to create art,” she says.

O’Dea chose Carmel as the place to open Main Street Treats because the city reminded her of home back in Wilton, Connecticut.

“It felt very much like the town we raised our family in,” O’Dea says.

“Carmel offered a lot of charm and everyone is so friendly. We were close to Indianapolis but could still enjoy shows, art galleries, nature walks, concerts and festivals in our own backyard.”

The dessert menu at Main Street Treats changes slightly daily, depending on what O’Dea decides to create that day.

She likes to offer treats that coincide with upcoming holidays or events that are happening around town.

High client satisfaction = over 90% client retention.

“We have a lot of fun trying to create treats for our retail shop that will represent these events,” O’Dea says.

“And we love being able to celebrate Carmel.”

Main Street Treats is located at 216 W Main St. You can give them a call at 317-740-0204 or visit them online at mainstreetreats.com.

8 TIPS FOR HOSTING THE PERFECT THANKSGIVING Writer / Shelly Bergman

Hosting family and friends for the holidays is daunting. The expectations of a Pinterest worthy meal and decor is high. We've lost what the true meaning of Thanksgiving is. In our family, Thanksgiving was the only time of the year we saw the entire family. Selfishly, I secretly wanted us to order pizza every year making less work and more time to spend with people. I still believe it's necessary to streamline areas of Thanksgiving day to make less work for the host.

I recently heard the statement “Getting Ready is a Key Aspect of Performance.”

Thanksgiving Day is as close to a performance as I give all year, so preparing

is crucial. There are many steps you can complete 3 to 4 weeks ahead of time to reduce stress. There are also several hacks you can use to keep things running smoothly on the big day.

1. MAKE SURE YOU PLAN A MENU THAT ONLY REQUIRES ONE OVEN

Have guests bring the sides and desserts leaving the oven free for you to do the turkey. Be sure to request contributed items to things that are easy to transport and set up once they arrive. Items like side salads, dinner rolls, wine, cold appetizers and cranberry sauce are perfect. If you need to keep food warm, place a towel and a bowl of hot water in the bottom of a cooler. Then, put your pans in the cooler until it’s time to 8 / CARMEL MAGAZINE / NOVEMBER 2018 / atCarmel.com

serve. The food will still be warm for up to 2 hours.

2. PLAN AN OUTDOOR ACTIVITY

As long as it's not raining, spend a little time outside with your family. Start a game of football, make a pumpkin ring toss, take a nature bingo hike. Anything that gets the family outside for some fun, especially if there will be kids. You can also have coloring books and board games set out on a table to keep the kids busy while dinner is being prepped.

3. DELEGATE TASKS

Your friends and family want to help. Write out tasks ahead of time with the names of people who you know will offer their help.

Have them be in charge of the outdoor activity, keep drink stations stocked, wrangle the kids for dinner and help serve. Make sure you tell at least one family member to take a few photos.

4. PREPARE THE TABLE

Lay out all the serving dishes on the table with note cards of what will be served inside. Shop your house or yard for table decor. It's likely you won't need to buy a bunch of decor. Get everything set up how you'd like it to look, snap a picture and put all the dishes and decor in a laundry basket out of the way so you can easily pull it out Thanksgiving morning.

5. EAT EARLY

refilling their drinks. Put the kids activity table in another room, in the basement or outside to keep them from running under foot during dinner prep.

7. MAKE CLEAN UP EASY

If you want to use grandma's china for this special occasion, I understand. There is also great joy in using paper plates when everyone's able to clean up after themselves. Other time savers are to use a plastic crock pot liner or plastic cups with a marker to write names. Make sure you have an empty dishwasher before dinner so you can easily toss in serving ware. To make sure you get to host Thanksgiving next year, have a plan for storing leftovers. Purchase a bunch of inexpensive take-home containers or gallon bags for people to dish up their own leftovers.

Rather than filling up on veggies and hard-boiled eggs, have a plan to eat soon after guests arrive. This will leave plenty of time with family before it gets late. Plus, it gives time for bellies to settle before dessert.

Look for small moments of gratitude in a busy, loud but delicious holiday. With all the prep weeks ahead of time you should be able to enjoy your Thanksgiving holiday with your friends and family.

8. RELAX AND ENJOY

6. PLAN THE FLOW OF THE HOUSE

Think about how people will travel through your house. Have the drink station out of the way so people don't feel like a bother when

If you follow these tips you are sure to have a stress-free Thanksgiving Day. Enjoy the time with family and friends!

for every occasion, including weddings, holidays, special events and memorials.

Kristine Schroeder never imagined that she’d have a bustling floral business in Carmel. In 2003, Schroeder was a stay-athome mom of four children, doing parttime bookwork and odd jobs for a florist.

Then, an opportunity presented itself.

“It is definitely a family affair,” Schroeder says of running The Carmel Florist. “My daughter and I are the designers. I do all wedding and special-event consultations. My dad did the deliveries for me until recently, when he retired and moved to Florida. Now, my daughter and I do the deliveries on most “I developed a fondness for the craft of floral days, but my sons, husband and son-in-law design while I was working for a florist,” pitch in on busy days, weekends, holidays Schroeder says. “When they decided to or on the rare occasion that I have found a close their doors, I chose to venture out on moment to treat myself with a day off.” my own and give it a whirl. That’s how The Carmel Florist was born.”

Schroeder finds that it’s easy to work with It’s been 15 years since she opened The Carmel Florist, and since then, Schroeder’s four children have grown and so has her business. She has incorporated her family into the business as well. Schroeder works side-by-side with her daughter, Carley, designing and creating floral arrangements

“I trust my family, we love each other, we have each other’s best interests at heart and work beautifully together,” Schroeder says. “It’s perfect. Plus, my business helps 10 / CARMEL MAGAZINE / NOVEMBER 2018 / atCarmel.com

put food on all our tables — literally. That’s very important to me.”

What’s also important to Schroeder is pursuing work that allows her to be creative every single day. It also allows her to do what she loves while creating something that will bring joy to her customers.

“When a customer gives me a budget and allows me to be creative, I have so much fun making the arrangement,” Schroeder says.

“And I know that chances are, if I’m pleased with the end result, then my customer will be, too.”

Schroeder considers herself a self-taught florist and believes that quality has served her well all these years in business.

Whether she is making a bridal bouquet, or a prom corsage, or arranging a vase full of flowers for Mother’s Day, she puts her own creative stamp on each product that leaves her doors.

“I am self-taught, and I am glad that I am,” she says. “That way, I know that my creations are truly mine, not a ‘fast-food’ version of large assembly line design centers.

I get most of my inspiration from my own mind’s eye.”

To create her arrangements, Schroeder sources her flowers from all over the United States and around the world, including South America and Holland. When she can, she tries to acquire local flowers and plants for her floral masterpieces, too.

“I love getting my summer local flowers from Indiana small farmers,” Schroeder says. “I am thrilled when I can help support another Indiana company.”

THE MILLION MEAL MARATHON HOOSIERS ARE FIGHTING HUNGER AT HOME WITH PACKING EVENT NOV. 13 AT LUCAS OIL STADIUM Writer / Suzanne Huntzinger Photography Provided

No training is necessary for this marathon, and you can forget the new running shoes, water bottle and Fitbit. Just show up Tuesday, November 13 at Lucas Oil Stadium, and when the starting gun goes off, race along with dozens of other volunteers to pack one million meals for hungry Hoosiers.

Carmel residents Nancy Hintz and her husband Dan started this mission to fight hunger in 2007 after seeing a news story that inspired them to take action. Nancy treasured her experiences as a child doing volunteer projects for school. Collecting coins, food or clothing to donate to people in need made her feel good about

doing a civic duty, but she rarely had the opportunity to see the fruits of the labor.

So, when Nancy saw the news story about a meal packaging program happening in another state, the lightbulb went off.

When the Million Meal Movement launched, the American Red Cross in “I wanted to inspire my kids to become Noblesville opened its doors to them and involved in volunteerism,” she says. they began holding packing events. Though “Packaging meals is hands-on and you see the the organization holds many packaging fruits of your labor right before your eyes.” events throughout the year, the Million Meal Marathon became their signature event. Since its inception, the organization Nancy did some research and discovered has provided more than 29 million meals to Indianapolis didn’t have a volunteer meal hungry Hoosiers. packaging program, so she and Dan set about finding a way to make it happen.

work feverishly to hit that grand total of one million meals packed. If they go over the goal before the marathon is over, Hintz says they’ll just keep going.

Indianapolis Colts players and cheerleaders and perhaps some mascots are expected to join in the fun and work alongside the volunteers.

“We’ll crank up the jam and dance along to some groovy tunes. It’s a great way to engage people of all ages and make it a family affair,” Hintz says.

“It’s awe-inspiring to see how excited the volunteers get when they realize they really can make a difference.

Kids, especially teens, are hopping around, happy and enjoying helping others. They have an innate sense to want to help others. But it grows when they watch adults do it with them. It becomes a lifelong habit.”

Each year, word of mouth spreads, and the event becomes more popular than the year prior.

“One year, we had a group of boys who were very clear about how unhappy they were to be there,” Hintz says. “I worked with them, got them set up with their materials and, once I got them going, they loved it. They had so much fun, they were the last to leave.”

After nearly a decade in the same spot, one of Indy’s most popular breweries has expanded to a second location. Bier Brewery launched a brand new Carmel taproom — officially opening early November.

The new spot is located at the Meridian Village Plaza at 13720 N. Meridian. The location hits close to home because, well, Carmel is quite literally home for co-owner Jerry Connor.

“We’ve lived in The Village Farms since 1989,” Jerry says. “Carmel has been our home. It is a perfect location for us. My kids went to school at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel growing up. A lot of our friends and people in Carmel are excited about it. We are stoked about it, too.”

Jerry launched Bier Brewery in 2010 with his sons Darren and Ryan, who are also co-owners in the family business. Having expanded from a nano-brewery in 2010 to a 20-barrel, full-production facility with more than 130 beer selections in less than seven years, their focus has always been on putting out quality craft brews. That will continue to be the case at the Carmel location as well.

“When you focus on quality and consistency, it’s not difficult to grow naturally,” Jerry says. “If your business plan is based on quantity that’s where you can get into trouble sometimes, but we’ve always put our energies into quality and attention to detail. Focus, focus, focus — that’s what we’re all about.”

In 2010, Darren and Jerry felt the time was right to try their hand at a nano-brew operation and officially launched the business the night before Thanksgiving. Ryan joined the business after graduating from Indiana University. Not long after they opened the East 65th Street location, demand began to increase, and even after expanding to a seven-barrel system, the Connors could barely keep up with orders.

“The demand is really what drove our growth, so it hasn’t just been a matter of trying to grow just for the sake of it,” Jerry says.

“We were the first nano in Indy and the second brewery to open after Sun King. It’s not just a hobby for us — it’s a passion and a profession. We continue to pay attention to the small details. There are no shortcuts.”

It’s truly a family effort. Darren heads up brewing operations while Jerry handles marketing and Ryan serves as sales director. Longtime Carmel residents and friends of the Connors, Chip and Pam Edington, have also come on board as partners for the new Carmel location.

“We are delighted to join the Connor family and are excited about growing Bier in Carmel,” Chip says. “We’ve been big supporters of Bier since it launched in Indy eight years ago and are excited about the buzz we’ve been hearing from friends across the north side for the new location.”

Bier now has a presence in more than 350 local restaurants, bars and liquor stores, and they work with four Indiana distributors.

16 / CARMEL MAGAZINE / NOVEMBER 2018 / atCarmel.com

Customer favorites include Weizengoot, a German-style Hefeweizen, Special Kolsch and PDG, an American pale ale.

Bier has also taken home 70 Indiana Brewers’ Cup medals over the years, along with two gold medals at the 2016 Brewers Association World Beer Cup for Sanitarium and ESB (Extra Special Bitter). Bier has also won multiple medals from the Great American Beer Fest and recently received Silver for their Pumpkin Ale at the 2018 World Beer Cup. Proof of the Connors’ devotion to detail lies not only in the beer they crank out each week but even in the hardware they use. Darren designed Bier’s 65th Street facility and its refrigeration system, while Jerry specially crafts the tap handles. Those specially-made tap handles can be found at the Carmel location, too.

“You could call Darren the MacGyver of brewing,” Jerry says.

“There isn’t anything he can’t fix or design and come up with. He’s got a stainless-steel welder that he goes to that helps us out.”

Bier Brewery has its nine rotating selections and award-winning beer offered on tap at the Carmel spot. Unlike their original taproom, however, the new Carmel location is family-friendly.

Boombozz will be providing finger-food options, while Puccini’s, located just next door, will provide carry-in options to Bier Brewery as well.

“We are trying to accommodate the families out here,” Jerry says.

“It will be a relaxed atmosphere just like our original location.”

The new Carmel Bier Brewery is more than twice the size of the original taproom off Binford. The Carmel taproom is 3,500 square feet with an additional roughly 800 square feet of kitchen and office space — plenty of space to accommodate staff, guests and families.

is pleased to announce the affiliation of

The Carmel spot will also include a patio, which will be dog-friendly.

Back on Oct. 4, Bier partnered with JT Walker’s, a brewery in Illinois, to offer “Small-Town Hero” IPA in honor of Noblesville West Middle School teacher, Jason Seaman. The tapping party was a big success with profits from the beer sales going towards Seaman’s foundation. The Connors are excited to bring that same kind of community focus to their new Carmel location.

“Being involved in the community has always been a part of our business plan,” Jerry says. “There are a lot of community things happening in Carmel and Westfield, and we certainly want to maintain those ties. It will be fun. We will be seeing our Carmel friends a lot more often at this new location.”

Bier Brewery in Carmel is located at 13720 N. Meridian Street.

PURE AIR ENVIRONMENTAL (317) 760-7873 pureairenvironmental.com

Writer / Christy Heitger-Ewing

As we head into cold and flu season, it’s wise to think about air purification, especially since according to the state health department, 195 Hoosiers died from influenza last year. Pure Air Environmental is an authorized distributor of the Puradigm Air Purification and Surface Decontamination system, which eliminates 99.9 percent of bacteria through the air and indoor surfaces. This includes removing any single-cell bacteria such as staph, MRSA, listeria, salmonella, C. Diff, influenza, common cold and many other harmful pathogens.

“This technology really applies to everyone.

If you’re breathing, you will benefit from Puradigm,” says Pure Air Marketing Director Jon Hartley.

Old-school technology was extremely passive, allowing air to simply pass through your ventilation system while UV light attempted to remove mold and allergens in the ducts only. It really did very little to improve the overall indoor air environment.

Hartley describes the Puradigm system as an aggressive, proactive push technology.

“It’s advanced now to the point where it’s proactively pushing two million highenergy ion clusters out into your physical environment which destroy impurities and pathogens in 1/76th of a second in the air and on surfaces,” Hartley says. “That’s why it’s so effective and protective.”

Not only does the Puradigm air system remove bacteria, but it also has been clinically proven to remove 99.9 percent of mold and volatile organic compounds (VOC’s) that are off-gassing from new

building products such as glues, adhesives, formaldehyde and even the plastics and materials that are in building products themselves. VOC’s are a concern as the vast majority have been linked to carcinogens.

Pure Air Environmental, a small familyowned business, began five years ago as a radon mitigation company.

“Indiana has a great deal of radon gas due to our soil material,” Hartley says. “What’s in our substrate beneath our homes gets up into them and it can’t escape because we’ve built our homes so airtight.”

Ventilating radio-active gas from homes is crucial as statistically 21,000 Americans die each year due to long-term radon gas exposure. Protection is as easy as installing a radon mitigation system to safely vent the gas to the exterior. The EPA recommends testing your home every two years as radon gas levels fluctuate due to environmental factors.

Pure Air Environmental also cleans air ducts and offers mold remediation services to remove black toxic molds and the toxins they’re off-gassing. You may not think much about indoor air quality, but Hartley says people really should. The EPA recently released a study that showed that poor indoor air quality can reduce one’s life expectancy by 5-7 years. Hartley also cites another study that identifies indoor air quality as the number one threat to our 18 / CARMEL MAGAZINE / NOVEMBER 2018 / atCarmel.com

children’s generation in the coming years.

That’s due, in large part, to the fact that society functions differently nowadays.

“Generations ago, people used to open their windows and let their homes breathe,” Hartley says. “Now the thought is on energy efficiency and we seal them up tight. Nobody opens their windows anymore. As a result, they’re not getting that fresh air exchange and building those immunities to bacteria by being exposed to natural environments.”

It can be hard to convince people of the dangers of poor air quality because it’s not a tangible problem in front of them. It often times does not alert any of your five senses.

That’s why air quality testing is so vital.

While observing Nick Dentino on a golf course, it might be easy to forget that he’s only a high school senior. Dentino plays with the kind of mental and physical control that many golfers spend their entire lives chasing.

to secure a victory for the Greyhounds.

“It’s been quite a journey this year, and for me it started when we won that championship as a team,” Dentino says.

“That was such a cool experience with the guys, and everyone helped me out along the way. It was a great team effort.”

After ending the high school season on such a high note, Dentino embarked on a busy summer during which he competed in several American Junior Golf Association tourneys, finishing in the top five at the Coca-Cola Junior In June, the Carmel boys varsity golf squad Championship at Boyne Highlands Resort beat defending state champs Center Grove in Michigan in July. Last year Dentino won by a single stroke for this year’s state title, that Junior Championship event with a and Dentino was instrumental in the victory score of seven under par, including 16 - he sunk a crucial putt on the very last hole total birdies.

And while the Carmel senior has only been playing competitive golf since junior high, the list of accomplishments he’s put together this year alone is surprising.

20 / CARMEL MAGAZINE / NOVEMBER 2018 / atCarmel.com

That wasn’t all that the summer of 2018 brought for the senior - he also managed to qualify for the 2018 U.S. Amateur Championship, which was held in August at the Pebble Beach and Spyglass Hill courses in California. Dentino was one of only five Hoosiers to qualify for this year’s U.S. Amateur along with his Carmel teammate Cole Harris, a fellow senior who committed in March to play golf at the University of Cincinnati.

“It was a whole different experience playing out at Pebble Beach versus anywhere I’d played up until then,” Dentino says. “You get to see and play golf on a different level.”

Dentino’s dad and grandpa gave him a club to swing at the age of four, and he’s never looked back since then.

“By seventh and eight grade I was playing competitively and in tournaments, so it’s been five or six years of competitive golf,” Dentino says. “Around the end of my freshman year is when I realized that I wanted to go to a higher level and be where I’m at right now. Late freshman year is when I started playing with the varsity team, getting to play in sectionals and regionals.”

Jim Inskeep, Carmel High School athletics director, says Dentino’s ability to stay focused under pressure has been a key factor in his on-course successes so far.

“Nick is quietly confident,” Inskeep says.

“Watching the last three holes of the state finals were agonizing for everyone except Nick. He drained putts at 17 and 18 with tremendous pressure. It is fun to be around him and see not only Nick but all of the kids, be proud to be a part of the program.”

Dentino says although golf can be a

physically challenging endeavor, it’s his mental approach to the game that he’s currently striving to improve.

“Working on my mental game for the last couple of years is what has helped me the most,” he says. “I’ve gotten to the point where my swing isn’t that big of a deal anymore because it’s not going to change much, so you have to work on what you can control and that’s what’s in your mind.

So it’s keeping those bad thoughts out and

keeping your cool.”

Next fall, Dentino is off to attend Purdue University where he’ll play golf for the Boilermakers and plans to study business at the Krannert School of Management.

“I got to know coach Bradley at Purdue this year and knew that Purdue was the best fit for me,” Dentino says. “I know some of the guys on the team so that will be cool. I’m really excited to play at that level.”

Caterer and cafe owner Jacqueline Bols credits her success to two things: fresh, locally-sourced ingredients and exceptional customer service.

Bols started her catering business in the Indianapolis area in 2003. Since then, Jacquie’s Catering has become so successful that the business now caters more than 120

Take a look online, and you’ll find many rave reviews of Jacquie’s Gourmet Catering.

Bols says she strives to use the highest quality and freshest food for her catering

“I learned a long time ago it’s not just about the food, but the service, too,” says Bols, the owner of Jacquie’s Gourmet Catering and Jacquie’s Cafe.

Bols, who is originally from Winchester, England, has a long history in the catering and event business. After going to culinary school, Bols served in the hospitality industry, as a private chef on yachts, and has prepared food for events with well-known guests including Oprah Winfrey, Sean Connery, Elizabeth Hurley, Kevin Costner, 22 / CARMEL MAGAZINE / NOVEMBER 2018 / atCarmel.com

business, and a chef freshly finishes each plate at events, which really separates her business from many caterers.

Bols doesn’t limit her catering to a specific type of cuisine. In fact, one of Bols’ favorite events in recent months incorporated Balinese recipes.

But while Bols has traveled to many countries around the globe and draws inspiration from a variety of cultures, she says most of her dishes are influenced by the culture in European countries, where fresh ingredients are considered very important.

“Our favorite thing to make is anything that’s local and fresh at the time and anything that’s seasonal,” Bols says. “We are continuously learning, and we’re always following new trends.”’

The same high-quality, local and seasonal ingredients can be found at Jacquie’s Cafe, located at 9840 N. Michigan Road in Carmel.

Menu Items at Jacquie’s Cafe include Lemon Ricotta Pancakes for breakfast and a Smoked Turkey, Brie and Apple Sandwich for lunch. All breakfast dishes that include eggs are made with Indiana free-range eggs. A full menu can be found at jacquiesgourmetcafe.com.

Bols says she tries to create a familyfriendly and local atmosphere, which is why the cafe is decorated with the work of local artists. Bols hasn’t had to advertise the cafe, because many customers have discovered it by word of mouth or by driving by. Bols says the cafe has been well received by the community, and she enjoys running the shop.

“I opened it because it’s kind of fun,” she says. “We like to give people good food and a good time.”

Owners, Jim and Lois Wyant

WYANT PHOTOGRAPHY BRINGS PHOTOS TO LIFE ON HOME DÉCOR ITEMS Writer / Christy Heitger-Ewing Photography Provided

Back in the summer of 1983, Lois was looking to open a full-service bridal shop in Atlanta, Georgia where she could offer brides cakes, flowers and photography all in one package. She had experience in every area but wedding photography. That’s when fate intervened and she crossed paths with pro photographer Jim Wyant while he was at a bridal show at the Greenwood Mall.

“We began working together and the rest is history,” Lois says.

As they spent time together, sparks flew both personally and professionally. The pair married in 1984 and moved to Carmel in

1986 where they raised three sons, all of whom graduated from Carmel High School.

Over the past 30-plus years, they have grown their business, Wyant Photography, specializing in family portraits and high school senior portraits.

“The most popular sessions are the inhome sessions,” Lois says. “Photos are very unique when a family or a high school senior includes their own home environment for the background. A recent mom was so excited as she looked at a photo of her son on their staircase and shared, ‘he has run down those stairs for 17 years and now he is almost off to college.’ It is also convenient for a family to gather at one house and be comfortable rather than to sit in an unfamiliar studio.”

24 / CARMEL MAGAZINE / NOVEMBER 2018 / atCarmel.com

Jim also enjoys shooting cityscapes and has accumulated a wide selection of local scenic shots in such places as the Coxhall Gardens, Coxhall Gazebo, Carmel’s City Hall and the Arts & Design District, including the Carmel Children’s Gallery and Carmel Arts District Fountain.

Wyant Photography’s online gallery shares many of their Carmel cityscapes, scenics and nature art. The site is unique because it enables viewers to select a picture and then, using the live preview augmented reality tool, see what the piece would look like framed and hanging on a wall. Recently, the Wyant’s have also partnered with an e-commerce site so they can print their images on home décor items such as pillows, mugs, tote bags,

jewelry boxes, posters and phone cases. Customers can simply click on the option of their favorite gallery image to see if that particular photo is available in one of the home usage items. It’s a great alternative for people who are attracted to a photo but don’t necessarily have the room or interest in making it into a wall hanging.

“For example, Jim has this picture called ‘I Spy’ of a bear cub peeking over a dead tree,” Lois says. “Though it’s amazingly adorable, I think it will look best in a cabin environment.

However, that’s not to say you’re not a nature lover who would like to have this adorable bear’s face on a mug or tote bag.”

Speaking of nature, the couple often travels west so that Jim can add to his collection of bison, bear, bird, wolf and fox photos.

“That’s part of our big adventures — to head out to the Yellowstone area, and different locations out west,” Lois says.

In today’s digital world, it’s easy to feel like anyone and everyone is a photographer as they snap selfies on their phones and upload them to social media. One can definitely notice the difference in professional photography, however, when comparing images side-by-side. Everything from the angle to the lens to the light, depth and dimension all matter.

“Jim is a master craftsman photographer and it shows,” says Lois, noting that he has studied under a number of different mentors, gleaning gems of wisdom from each one. “His experience and training are reflected in his work. There really is a huge difference between taking a picture and creating a piece of art.”

The Wyants have amassed an impressive collection of awards at the state, regional and national levels, including the 2014 Kodak Gallery Award, the 2017 Fuji Masterpiece Award, the Indiana Photographer of the Year, two-time winner of the PPA Grand Imaging Award and the International Photographic Hall of Fame. In addition, their images have been on display at Disney World’s Epcot Center, and they are a two-time winner of Canon’s “Par Excellence” Award.

“Lois and I have a passion to create amazing images and share the beauty that is life with the world around us,” Jim says.

“Time has taught us how important art photography truly is.”

Worth the Wait

Handel’s Owner Gives the Scoop On 16 Years of Success In Hamilton County Writer / Josh Brown . Photographer / Brian Brosmer

G

reg Glaros grew up on Handel’s, and it only took one scoop of one flavor to get him hooked. Today, the cherry on top for the 61-year old is owning two of the most popular ice cream shops in Central Indiana.

“Chocolate pecan is Handel’s signature flavor,” Glaros says. “If you go to Youngstown, Ohio (where Handel’s originally started) that is the flavor everyone talks about. I actually bought the franchise only ever eating one flavor, which seems crazy now that I think about it. I never thought in a million years I’d own a Handel’s store. If someone had told me that one day I would open two stores in Fishers and Carmel, I would have told them they were out of their mind.”

Glaros, who grew up in Youngstown, was around seven or eight years old the first time his parents took him to the original Handel’s location. It soon became a regular occurrence for the Glaros family.

Those childhood memories stuck with Glaros when he and his family moved to Indianapolis in 1992.

Owner, Greg Glaros opened the Carmel location in 2004

After working for several years in sales and marketing positions at Thomson Consumer Electronics, Glaros began searching for other opportunities. In their downtime, the family realized the ice cream shops around Indy just weren’t up to par with what they’d experienced with Handel’s in Ohio. Glaros’ brother-in-law mentioned that he heard Handel’s was franchising, and, before he knew it, Greg was searching for the right space for his first location.

The Fishers location opened in June of 2002 and recently celebrated 16 years of success. The Carmel spot opened in October of 2004.

“It all happened in a span of about eight months back then,” Glaros says.

“We have been well-received in both communities. The City of Fishers has been great to us and always includes us in their activities and plans. We take a lot of pride in both locations.”

28 / CARMEL MAGAZINE / NOVEMBER 2018 / atCarmel.com

Opening the ice cream shops didn’t come without its challenges early on. Glaros’ dreams for the Carmel location almost melted in the beginning. The Handel’s in Carmel is located right by The Fresh Market and off the main road.

Unlike the Fishers shop, that lack of curbside appeal in Carmel, at least early on, proved to be tough for the location. Glaros’ says there were several times he thought the store was going to have to be closed, but through strategies like grassroots marketing, coupon offers and free ice cream cones, customers started to get word about the ice cream shop.

“In the beginning, it was very challenging because we are hidden from the street,” Glaros says. “Never underestimate the power of the road.”

Once people try Handel’s, it doesn't take long before they come back for more. Those who have been to either location, especially

the Fishers store right off the road on 116th St, know that the lines are always long.

Handel’s has become a meeting place of sorts for families, couples and friends — hanging out in those long lines to get a scoop or two of their favorite flavor while enjoying the company of others. Glaros says a big reason for success all these years has been because of customers telling their family and friends about the experiences they’ve had at Handel’s.

“Word-of-mouth has kept both of our locations very busy,” Glaros says. “Today, when we light up our sign on those awnings, it is like a beacon. We’ve become a very social place, a gathering place for the community.”

And the lines truly are long — no matter the season. Glaros’ says the reason for that is simple: the ice cream is worth the wait and the service is great.

“The product really is great, and that is the reason that I opened the stores,” Glaros says.

“We use the best mix, the best ingredients, ripples and add-ins. We don’t skimp. If you get our butter-pecan or chocolate-pecan, whatever flavor it is, you are not going to be looking for the add-ins. If you order cookie dough, it will be full of cookie dough. I feel like we deliver a quality product, and that is really our claim to fame.”

When you make a trip to Handel’s, odds are a teenager will be the one handing you your ice cream. That is by design. Glaros says

the business is hard work, and it helps to have teenagers in the back who have plenty of energy to do it.

Not to mention, it is a fun first job for most kids. Over the years, Glaros has even had former employees return with their own children.

“It is a cool place to work, and the kids enjoy it,” Glaros says. “We’ve had great people work here the last 16 years, we’ve been very lucky.”

“I’m very proud to be the owner,” Glaros says. “When I meet people and tell them who I am, they talk about how much they love Handel’s. Or when I get to take my family and grandkids, there is always some story Those benches are certainly needed Community involvement remains to be a about them and Handel’s, which is great.
