Fishers’ Journey From City Elections, Coming Town To City Soon to Fishers Voters | Whitney Mucha o you remember Election Day, November 6, 2012? If you were living in Fishers, you likely are still recovering from the confusion surrounding the two questions found on the ballot. With several scenario outcomes, heads were spinning as voters contemplated how to answer each question to vote, “town” or “city” for Fishers. Question #1 stated, “Shall the Town of Fishers and Fall Creek Township reorganize as a single political subdivision?” Question #2 stated, “Shall the Town of Fishers change into a city?” There were compelling reasons from each side offered to residents for several months before the election. After this hot button issue was put to a vote, a majority of Fishers residents answered “no” to Questions #1 and “yes” to Question #2 resulting in a combination that sent Fishers on its journey from town to city.

Now, Fishers must quickly prepare for the first election of its city government. The first Mayor, city council members, and city clerk will take office on January 1, 2015 when Fishers officially becomes a city. Changes to Indiana State law code IC 36-4-1.5-3 effective this July pushed the transition date up from a previously flexible option of a 2015 or 2016 effective date. Since year 2000, the population in Fishers has more than doubled in size to approximately 80,000 residents. The transition from town to city will include dividing the town into city legislative body districts. What won’t change when Fishers becomes a city? Indiana Code 36-4-1.5-6 clearly states that the acts, contract, and obligations of the former town will continue and remain unchanged. In addition, all ordinances, rules, and regulations of the former town will continue to be in place for the newly transformed city until amended or repealed. Since the town verses city controversy has been decided, residents can now focus their attention on potential candidates and their pros and cons. The primary election, held in May 2014 prior to the November general election, will likely serve up exciting debates and opportunities to interact with the candidates. Because the area has a historically high number of Republican supporters, many Republican candidates run 6

ﬁshers C O M M U N I T Y

Fishers_August_2013.indd 6

uncontested races in Hamilton County or win a large portion of the votes against their Democrat counterparts. Residents will have a unique opportunity to be a part of the history of governmental change in Fishers, Indiana. Whether you enjoy politics, despise politics, or fall somewhere in the middle; the next 18 months are sure to offer loads of local news highlights, opportunities to get involved in your candidates campaign, and plenty of “Vote For Me” signs to read while on your daily travels through the Town…strike that… City of Fishers.

She and her husband Mike enjoy living in Fishers with their two sons, Charlie and Max.

Fishers Teen Wins USA National Miss Title | Janet C. Striebel

Most girls only dream of walking down the runway after winning a pageant, wearing a beautiful sequined crown. Many wish they had the courage to audition for the school musical and land a respectable role each time they try. Some teens desire a reputation for not only making great grades in school but also leading others with dignity, appeal and utmost composure as they serve their community. One such teen seems to have all this glory and more — Lauren Boswell, a ﬁfteen-year-old resident of Fishers. “I knew I wanted to be in pageants when I received my ﬁrst post card in the mail in fourth grade,” said Lauren, who recently won the “USA National Miss” title on June 29th in Daytona Beach, Florida. AUGUST 2013

“

Wearing the crown is not about beauty but rather helping others. It’s about being confident and helping others to become confident. It’s about bringing out the best in others.

In talking with Lauren, she made it clear that pageants represent so much more than what people may stereotype them to symbolize. She said her favorite motto is, “It’s not how you wear the crown; it’s what you do with it.” She added, “Wearing the crown is not about beauty but rather helping others. It’s about being conﬁdent and helping others to become conﬁdent. It’s about bringing out the best in others.”

Lauren spends much time volunteering. Her chosen platform is breast cancer awareness, to which she feels emotionally

“

Although she has won four state titles in the last six years of competition, this represents her ﬁrst national title. Prior to this feat, she won Miss Hoosier State Junior Teen. “My mom and I went into these pageants without knowing anything about them,” said Lauren, who will be a sophomore at Hamilton Southeastern High School, adding with a laugh, “She is my ‘momager’, and has stuck by me since the beginning. Together, we’ve learned a lot along the way.”

tied because both of her grandmothers are breast cancer survivors. So far, she has helped raise $1,500 for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. She plans to create a new fundraising event titled, “Volley for the Cure” because she has a passion for playing volleyball and supporting breast cancer awareness. Last year, she played on the HSE freshman volleyball team, served as team captain and earned the MVP title. “Pageants help with lifelong skills like interviewing and public speaking,” said Lauren, who credits these experiences with giving her the conﬁdence needed to audition for school musicals the last three years. She tried out the ﬁrst time in seventh grade and got the leading role as Adelaide in “Guys and Dolls.” Then, she made the spotlight for the next two years in school productions. She plans to audition again next spring as a sophomore. After winning the USA National Miss title, Lauren is expected to make twenty

Someday, she hopes to compete in the Miss America Outstanding Teen for Indiana and the Miss Teen USA. She has a supportive family including her sister, Taylor, and parents, Kim and Justin Boswell. Lauren asserted that, “These pageants help prepare girls to gain conﬁdence, articulation, poise, and attention to academics, community involvement and volunteerism. I’ve made so many friends all over the country. These girls are not catty like you see in the movies. Everyone’s genuine. We’re all American and real.” Janet Striebel is a Fishers resident and freelance writer. She and her husband, Doug have three children: Ryan, Jessica, and Justin.

aba autism services by damar specialized services Providing Autism Services in Geist Area here is much discussion and reporting today about autism – it’s possible causes and how best to treat a condition affecting as many as one in 50 US school-age children. This is a 72 percent increase in the diagnosis since 2007. That, in turn, has prompted two relevant questions: Are we experiencing a marked increase in the incidence of autism or, are physicians and others doing a better job of diagnosing the condition, helped in part, by a rising comfort level in talking about autism publicly?

While these conversations continue in academic and medical circles, Damar Services, Inc., has extended its highly-effective autism treatment protocols to serve the Geist area. In early June, Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) Autism Services by Damar Specialized Services LLC opened a new clinic at 9905 Fall Creek Rd (intersection of 79th St and Fall Creek Rd). Damar is the leading provider of treatment, education and other services designed to build better futures for individuals with the most severe and complex intellectual and behavioral challenges. The new Geist clinic speciﬁcally addresses outpatient autism services, and the organization said in a recent news release that its move to northeast Marion County was a recognition of the demand throughout central Indiana for therapeutic services in accessible locations. ABA is recognized as the best-practice treatment for children with autism, helping them address the challenges with communication, social interaction, and restricted and repetitive behavior common in autism. “We recognize that treatment for children with autism extends well beyond the walls of a clinic site and long after the doors are locked for the evening,” said Dr. Jim Dalton, child psychologist and Damar president and chief of operations. “The most critical component in shaping the behavior of a child with autism takes place in the family home, guided by the parents and caregivers. ABA Autism Services by Damar ensures that

the family is not only engaged in treatment, but guides the treatment of the child,” he said in the news release. With highly trained and experienced staff, a focus on evidence-based treatment and the use of technology, ABA Autism Services by Damar delivers cost-effective treatment that leads to measurable results for each client. Services include ABA therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, parent training, summer programs, evaluations, diagnostics, and evening and weekend hours. In a recent interview with GeistTV.com, Dr. Dalton explained that families increasingly are ﬁnding ﬁnancial help to cover treatment costs. “Many ABA programs are now covered under Medicaid and private insurance programs,” he noted. With more than 97% of those served [all diagnoses] experiencing greater levels of independence and success, Damar’s innovative and research-informed services have consistently resulted in individuals of all ages acquiring essential communication, social and behavioral skills – allowing them to return to their family homes, return to their local schools, return to their communities, and gain greater levels of independence and opportunity, according to the release. “We look forward to welcoming new children into our programs and working with their parents, schools and communities to ensure their success,” Dalton said.

onner prairi C A Magnetic Attraction E

| Jane VanOsdol

t a time when museums are struggling to attract visitors and remain relevant in people’s lives, Connor Prairie Interactive History Park has skyrocketed to national attention. Authors Anne Bergeron and Beth Tuttle recently designated Conner Prairie as a “magnetic” museum in their book “Magnetic, The Art and Science of Engagement.” Based on three years of research, the book explores the “secret sauce” of how Conner Prairie and ﬁve other museums 14 ﬁshers C O M M U N I T Y N E W S L E T T E R | A U G U S T 2 0 1 3 Fishers_August_2013.indd 14

are succeeding in critical areas including attendance, membership, community, people, ﬁnancial stability, and programming.

Curiosity-Driven Learning

Ellen M. Rosenthal, Conner Prairie president and CEO, credits a shift in policy based on market and visitor research for turning things around. Driving this research was a desire to understand the needs of the community, and who was and wasn’t coming to the museum. In 2006 Conner Prairie implemented a new strategic plan based on its research:

7/24/2013 11:23:01 AM

For example, Connor Prairie eliminated most of the breakable items that prevented people from being able to interact with an exhibit. Now they can lie down on the bed or sit on the chair. “It changes the entire approach about how you make the visitor feel like they’re part of the experience,” Rosenthal said. This type of “curiosity-driven learning” also strives to make history a well-rounded experience by incorporating STEM learning (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) along with nature and the arts into activities whenever possible. All of theses changes were a hit with the public, causing a surge in attendance (322,710 visitors in 2012 alone.)

Community and National Leader

But Conner Prairie didn’t stop there. Management knew that to make these changes long-term, they had to have their volunteers and employees on board. So they developed a new training DVD for their frontline staff, a customer-service approach that focuses on the visitors’ needs rather than on just delivering information. The training was so successful that the DVD is now being used by 1,500 other museums across the nation to train their employees. Conner Prairie also realized the importance of being ﬁrmly entrenched in the community. “We provide a sense of place for Hamilton County,” Rosenthal said. Conner Prairie is the second largest tourist attraction in Hamilton County and the eleventh in the region. All of those visitors means that Conner Prairie has a big economic footprint, generating 28 million dollars a year in revenue for Indiana. As for the future, Rosenthal knows that integrating technology into exhibits, as it has successfully done with its 1863 Civil War Journey: Raid on Indiana exhibit, will be key. It’s also exploring ways to connect with empty nesters while continuing to foster strong family ties.

Animal Encounters Barn at Conner Prairie • Create engaging, fun, and exciting exhibits • Add new experiences every year, moving beyond their original 1836 focus • Focus on families and children While a focus on families and kids may seem obvious, Rosenthal disagreed. “For historians this is harder than you would think,” she said, “because they want to share history, and really, people and kids are interested in experiencing and being hands-on. We’ve [since] become masters at what we call immersive history, which is putting people in the experience.”

Ultimately, Rosenthal sees the result of years of hard work paying off. “We had become just the fourth grade ﬁeld trip,” she said. “We were stagnant; we weren’t thriving.” Those days are gone, replaced by a magnetic attraction between Conner Prairie and the visitors and community it serves. “Magnetic: The Art and Science of Engagement” is available through the American Alliance of Museums Bookstore at aam-us.org/resources/bookstore, ISBN 978-1-933253-83-1, 6 x 9.5 in., 224 pages, color illustrated, soft cover, $34.95 retail.

father & son make memories | Turner Edwards Want to experience Venice but not go far from home? Well, here is the experience for you. Old World Gondoliers in Indianapolis at 337 W. 11th Street, offers fifteen-minute rides for fifteen dollars per person (ten dollars for eighteen and under) along the canal downtown. For seventy five dollars you can also take private rides for two to eight people. They have two gondolas that accommodate one to eight passengers – more if set up for a wedding. Each boat took four years to make, weighs 2,000 pounds empty, is forty feet long, and were constructed by one of two gondola makers still living in Venice. I rode on il cigno nero – one of the first gondolas to leave Venice. There are walk ways and apartments along each side of the downtown canal giving an Italian feel to the tour. We saw many people walking, biking, jogging, and enjoying the sights. The first song the gondoliers always sing is vennesula-mar which is a well-wishing song for a good voyage.

The gondolier’s voice echoes as you pass under a bridge. One of my favorite songs they sang was caromebien – Italian for “my dearly beloved.” It’s a lullaby which our gondolier, Antonio, said his grandmother sang to him as a child. I really enjoyed the ride I took along with my parents, my brother, the publisher of atFishers and her family. We brought some snacks, the parents drank wine, and the kids had chocolate milk and soda. Gondolas have been around for a thousand years and there have been thousands of gondoliers. Today, just over 300 remain. Gondolas are the taxis for Venice and most are four-person gondolas. Though the grand city of Venice still stands, it’s facing some rough times. When Leonardo da Vinci designed the city, he predicted it would sink a centimeter every year – and he was right! In fact, lower floors are becoming flooded and have pontoon bottoms in order to keep them afloat. To have a full experience, you can purchase an Italian picnic to eat as you ride along the canal and listen to the music. The gondoliers use long oars to move and steer, and there is a small flag on the bow they use to tell the wind direction so they can adjust their stroke. If you’re looking for a fun family outing or a romantic date, Old World Gondoliers is the adventure for you. Turner is a student at FCI. He is the older brother to Brewer Edwards and the son of Clark and Deidra Edwards. He loves hanging out with his friends and helping neighbors out in a pinch. If you have a story you would like Turner to write about contact him via email at turneratfishers@yahoo.com.

old world gondoliers - an adult perspective | Clark Edwards My biggest impression was how peaceful it can be within the heart of downtown Indianapolis. Our gondolier, Antonio, was rowing the entire time but you could hardly feel the boat move. Actually you couldn’t feel the boat move at all; we only knew we were moving because the scenery along the canal was changing ever so slowly. My wife Deidra and I, and our friends Matt and Laurie Quinn, enjoyed a glass of wine along the way, and it was truly peaceful even though we had four kids in the back of the boat. Perhaps the cookies and beverages the kids enjoyed along the way helped create that peace, but I am grateful any way you slice it. Contrary to the usual scenes of hustle and bustle in downtown, we made our way from point “A” to point “B”, and it was very refreshing to see others strolling, biking, running, walking, relaxing on a bench and enjoying the

view of the canal, or having a drink with friends on their balconies along the route. I have known Jeff “Gofredo” Hutson, the owner of Old World Gondoliers, for many years and I will tell you, Jeff is the consummate host who is always attuned to making sure his guests are having the best possible time and experience. This includes the quality of staff he hires in both courtesy and singing ability. Our gondolier, Antonio, provided a wonderful assortment of songs for us that enhanced the peacefulness and relaxation. I highly recommend you give Old World Gondoliers a chance to show you a wonderfully tranquil experience in the heart of an otherwise very active city. Clark A. Edwards is National Portfolio Manager for TransFirst, LLC. He was born and raised in Irvington and is a Graduate of Indiana University. He is a 20 year resident of Fishers where he resides wih his wife and two young sons. He can be reached at clark.edwards@sbcglobal.net.

Green B.E.A.N. Delivery Fermented Foods & Probiotics | Elizabeth Blessing By Elizabeth Blessing, MSN, cofounder and chief nutritionist of Green BEAN Delivery A growing number of foods on the market today claim to improve our health. These items are called functional foods, meaning that they promote health beyond their basic nutritional function. Probiotics, which are live microorganisms found in or added to fermented foods that optimize the bacterial environment of our intestines, are an example of a functional food. 22

fishers c o m m u n i t y

Fishers_August_2013.indd 22

Our intestines contain a mind-boggling number and variety of bacteria, many of which are vital to maintaining a healthy body and supporting digestive function. Some of these bacteria can also be harmful, which is why it is important to maintain an environment in the intestines that favors large numbers and activity of healthful bacteria while limiting the damage caused by harmful bacteria.

human health. The exact mechanism of how probiotics work is still being researched, but one possible benefit is the enhancement of the immune system. Probiotics may also increase the amount and activity of immune cells that help fight infections. Other conditions that may be successfully treated with probiotics include:

How do probiotics work? When a person consumes a product containing probiotics, the bacteria adhere to the intestinal wall where they get to work to benefit the body. The activity of these bacteria is short-lived, and they need to be consumed daily to benefit

• Diarrhea associated with use of antibiotic medications in children and adults

• Diarrhea in children caused by a rotavirus

• Traveler’s diarrhea • Urinary and genital tract infections in women

• Gastrointestinal conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis • Infections from Helicobacter pylori, the bacteria associated with conditions such as peptic ulcers, gastritis and gastric cancer • Food allergies and asthma • Body weight and obesity • Energy levels • Autism, ADHD, ADD, dyslexia, dyspraxia and obsessive-compulsive disorder In the U.S., most foods that contain probiotics are fortified milk and fermented yogurt. They can also be found in fermented kefirs, kombucha, lacto-fermented fruits and vegetables, as well as in supplement form. The most frequently used probiotics in the food market today are species of Lactobacillus or Bifidobacterium. Because these live cultures can only survive for a limited period of time, foods and supplements containing probiotics have a shorter shelf life and must be properly stored and consumed within a relatively brief period of time to receive maximum benefit. In general, refrigerated foods containing probiotics have a shelf life of 3-6 weeks, whereas the shelf life for supplements containing probiotics is about 12 months. However, the probiotic content of refrigerated foods is much more stable than that of supplements. Healing with food is always the first choice and often the best. If capsules/supplements are chosen, make sure the brand is reputable and the viability of the probiotics has been independently verified. A handful of local and regional farmers and artisans, including Fermenti Artisan, Hidden Pond Farms, Traders Point Creamery and Organic Valley, offer yogurt, lacto-fermented vegetable

products, beet kvass, kombucha, cultured butter and cottage cheese. Look to these producers to not only build up and create a healthy gut ﬂora, but also to support local farmers and artisans.

Functional foods in the form of probiotics can do the body good. By seeking out these foods and applying a few safety tips, you will be well on your way to promoting a healthy body and immune system.

any of us have a nighttime routine we do with our children. My routine with our seven-yearold daughter is going into her room after daddy leaves to talk about what happened during her day. Usually our talks are about a frog dying in her classroom, or the amazing art project she is working on at school. One night during this past school year she said, “Mommy, we had a drill today!” “A drill? What type of drill?” was my response. Thinking that it might be a fire drill or tornado drill, my mind wondered what made her bring this up out of the blue. “It was a drill that involves a bad man coming into our school,” she replied.

One night during this past school year she said, “Mommy, we had a drill today!” “A drill? What type of drill?” was my response. Thinking that it might be a fire drill or tornado drill, my mind wondered what made her bring this up out of the blue. “It was a drill that involves a bad man coming into our school,” she replied. My heart stopped, flipped around inside and then sank. After the horrible tragedy that happened at Sandy Hook, I had taken it upon myself to go over what I thought she should do if such an event should happen at her school. One of the scenarios I spoke to her about was to stay hidden until she hears my voice calling out for her. Not a policeman’s voice, not a teacher’s voice, but my voice.

She then continued to tell me about the drill. “Mommy, if a bad man broke into our school, I won’t come out of my hiding spot until I hear your voice calling for me even if it means I pee my pants while I wait for you. I can’t tell you my spot Mommy, but I know you will come for me.” I squeezed her extra tight and gave her a kiss and said, “That is exactly what I want you to do, baby.” We said our goodnights and argued over who loves who more. I closed the door then collapsed to my knees losing control of the tears and sobs I had held inside. Many times since that conversation, I have wondered what goes on during these drills. I understand the need for secrecy but my curiosity could not be quelled. Then one day, I received an email from the Fishers Area Preschool Directors Group informing me of their upcoming meeting on preschool safety. As many of my readers know, I have one kid in elementary school and one in preschool. I jumped at the chance to attend this meeting.

Fall Creek Elementary taking measures to keep kids safe

Jordy enjoying recess at FCE

Tips on Talking with Your Child About Emergency Situations q First and foremost, do not scare your child. The younger the child is, the more important this tip is. w Talk to your child about how there isn’t a single plan that covers all emergencies. Tornado drills will have a different plan than a fire drill. An active killer drill will have yet another plan. e Talk to your child about listening to the teacher. Listening can save lives! r If you see something, say something to an adult. Students are the eyes and ears of the school. If something seems odd, encourage your child to seek out an adult to share the information with. t Let your child talk about his/her feelings. Talking about being scared or feeling cowardly is not an easy topic. Be there for your child. Just being there and being a support system will be taken to heart by your child. Please note that Ryan Taylor does not necessarily want you to approach your child about active killer situations, but having a plan about what to say in case they bring it up is highly recommended.

First to speak was Ryan Taylor, HSE Safe Schools Coordinator and Assistant Principal of Fishers High School. His focus was on communication and access control of the aggressors. He taught the three D’s of optimizing the safety in our schools: Detect, Deter, and Delay. Using technology that most schools have in place, front desk staff can get a good read on the people entering and exiting the schools. Keeping communication a priority during all hours of the the school day empowers the staff to feel prepared. By empowering the staff with knowledge of what to do in a crisis, you can save the lives of the children with whom you have been entrusted. Captain Ron Lipps, Captain of the Life Safety Division with the Fishers Fire and Emergency Services, spoke next. He helps schools/preschools with their emergency plans, and makes sure all building inspections are up to date. Ron encouraged everyone to read the emergency protocols – before a crisis happens (it’s too late to read it while the crisis is in progress.) Ron also emphasized that all emergency plans be reviewed by local authorities. This will ensure that they are correct, and that the local authorities know about you and your location. This is especially important for the private preschools and daycares. Practice drills as though they are playing a game so that in the event of a real emergency the children do not panic. During these drills, change up the scenario a bit. Have the fire start in a different place each time. This will help teachers and children to know what to do and how to react in case their exit is blocked. The final presenter of the discussion was Lt Mike Johnson, School Resource Operator with the Fishers Police Department. His part was powerful. He explained what the kids are boing taught, and went step by step through what an active killer drill includes for all ages, including preschoolers. He emphasized not to scare preschool children with too much information. The most important part is to teach them to listen in an emergency situation. Preschool lockdown drills are completely different than those for higher grade levels. For security reasons, I won’t reveal details about what I learned, but was overwhelmed by what our children are being taught to survive. I forced an image of my daughter doing some of these actions. My emotions from August 2013

discussing appropriate ways to talk to our children during these drills. The older the children, the more knowledge the children receive. The younger the child, the less scary details he or she receives. There is no value in scaring a seven year old with too many details. Indeed, it could have the opposite effect causing them to freeze and not listen, perhaps even panic. Statistics show how slight the chance is of a child being killed by an active shooter. However, such statistics (L to R): Lt. Mike Johnson with Fishers Police Dept . Ryan Taylor Assistant Principal are no reason not to be prepared. For more than two with Fishers High School . Captain Ron Lipps with the Fishers Fire Dept hours, these men taught us how they are helping keep our children safe while at school. The next time my the night of our original talk ﬂooded back to me.

While I wish there was no reason for Taylor, Lipps and Johnson to have such a job, I am glad these men put their hearts and souls into keeping our children safe. Saying a simple “thank you” just isn’t enough to suit me. Having met these men, and knowing how they’re spreading the word for HSE schools and preschools to adopt safety measures warms my heart. I hope that sharing this story expresses how much I appreciate them. Since my conversation with my daughter, I now know that these ofﬁcials are going to our schools and

| Natalie Love They come around every year always on the same date. Still, planning your child’s birthday party can sometimes catch you by surprise. Planning the perfect party for your child can be difficult for several reasons including two scenarios you may be familiar with: Your child is determined to go to the same place every year and the adults are “over” it, or your child changes his interest, hobbies and likes just about every three months! For whatever reason, if party planning has you in a rut, I have a few tips to get you started. The first big decision to be made is the venue. When choosing the party location there are a few considerations including age and gender of the guests. Not only is it necessary to think about the age and gender of the birthday child, you also need to consider the age and gender of the guests who will be invited. For example, if your child is celebrating a first birthday but all the children in your family are school-aged, you’ll want a few activities that will interest them too. A second consideration is time of day. If you are planning a party for preschool-aged children, you want to avoid nap times – usually mid-morning or early afternoon. If your party goers are school-aged, mid-day is perfect because they are full of energy at that time. For ’tweens and pre-teens, choose a later start time. Thirdly, consider the party package. Be sure to look at what the venue provides in a party package. This is extremely important if you aren’t interested in doing any additional work. Some places have all inclusive packages complete with favor bags, decorations and cake, while others do not. Lastly, there’s the party theme. If you already have a theme in mind for your child’s birthday, choose a venue that works well with the theme. If a theme isn’t screaming at you, you can also use the venue as the theme (e.g. Let’s JUMP for 32

IN SAFE HANDS

| Kara Reibel On the office wall of HSE Transportation Director Jim White is a motivational print of a young boy standing in front of an enormous aircraft with the phrase, “Dream Big: you never know where dreams can take you”, printed beneath. It’s actually a photo of White’s grandson standing in front of a plane that White has flown that is now on display at the Wright Patterson USAF museum in Dayton, Ohio. White jokes, “You know you’re getting old when planes you’ve flown have been retired to a museum.” The giant C-141 cargo plane isn’t the only plane at Wright-Patterson that White has flown. There is an Air Force One hangar across the grounds that houses one of the back up planes when White was a presidential support pilot. In fact, it’s the Air Force One plane that Kennedy had flown to Dallas on that fateful trip.

Jim White grew up in Lafayette, where he attended Purdue University. There he met his wife, Ann. After graduation they married and White enlisted in the Air Force. The year was 1971 and the draft was still in place. Being near the end of the Vietnam War, White took the initiative to join the Air Force to become a pilot. White’s Air Force experience was both unique and record setting. Initially White began training in a T-38, a supersonic fighter type aircraft, transitioning then to the C-141 transport aircraft. His first assignments were airlifts in and out of southeast Asia, at the end of Vietnam. White was involved with many humanitarian missions as well as top secret missions. White was trained as an expert nuclear pilot and evaluator. White was the first commanding pilot of a nuclear laden aircraft for air refueling while flying across the Atlantic. According

to White, ﬂying a plane weighing 250,000 pounds at 25,000 feet, and being 20 feet away from a similar plane that you are tethered to while fuel is being pumped into your aircraft – a plane that also contains nuclear weapons – is apparently rather stressful. The 30 minutes it takes to refuel seems like eight hours according to White. Simultaneously his aircraft is becoming heavier, requiring consistent adjustments and never taking his eyes off the aircraft in front of him. I’m not sure he blinked during those moments of intense focus.

s Called Shot Fishers Resident’s Rise from the Ticket Oﬃce to the Front Oﬃce

| Neal G Moore . Photos | Brenda Staples Photography

etaphorically speaking, it’s certainly correct to describe Cal Burleson’s career in professional baseball as “a home run.” Taking it a step further, one could rightly say it was a “called shot” by the 63-year-old Fishers resident. “I learned early on that I couldn’t play shortstop, “ Burleson shared during a recent coffee shop conversation. “But, I always knew I wanted professional baseball as a career.” And for 39 years, off-the-ﬁeld baseball management has been the only job he’s had. “I’ve been grateful for the opportunity,” he added.

Burleson is vice president and general manager of Indianapolis Indians, Inc., the city’s ﬁrst professional sports franchise. He joined the front ofﬁce in 1975 as Indians ticket manager. Over the years, Burleson rose through the ranks as business manager, marketing manager, assistant general manager, and in the fall of 1997 was named general manager. He joined the publicly owned team’s board of directors about a year-and-a-half ago. “I’ve never asked for the next job. I just tried to do what it was time to do,” said Burleson. AUGUST 2013

7/24/2013 11:24:18 AM

Cal’s love of baseball began in his hometown (Akron, Ohio) where he played the game until age 15. “Usually third base. I wasn’t very good,” he conceded. As a kid Burleson listened to radio broadcasts of the Detroit Tigers, Pittsburgh Pirates and Cleveland Indians. “My first memories go back to the two World Series between the Milwaukee Braves and New York Yankees in 1957 and ’58,” he recalled. “I can still remember that I was driving a car when I heard that Roberto Clemente had died. I had to pull off road. Clemente and Al Kaline were my favorite players. I met Kaline a few years ago – that was a real thrill,” he smiled. When hitting curveballs became too challenging, Burleson jumped at the chance to be batboy and manager for his high school baseball team. He earned a business degree, and a master’s degree in sports administration at Ohio University in Athens, a college choice that was intentional. “It’s still regarded as the premier sports management program – that’s why I went there,” he said. As general manager, Burleson takes four road trips with the team each season. Otherwise, he’s in his ballpark office that doesn’t overlook the pristine playing field. “It faces west toward the parking lot!” he laughed. He busies himself with “bigger picture things” including a focus on community involvement to ensure that the Indians are engaged in

the community. Burleson also represents the Indians at International League meetings, and is on the marketing committee for AAA baseball. Time also is taken communicating with the Pittsburgh Pirates front office (the Indians’ major-league affiliate.) “The major league team provides the players, manager, coaches, and pays their salaries,” he explained. “Bats and balls are a shared expense. The Indians turn over a portion of ticket revenue to Pittsburgh, and Internet revenues are shared.” Burleson said he flirted with a move to major league baseball management, “But that was more than 30 years ago. I’m where I want to be, doing what I want to do,” he said contentedly. ““I still enjoy watching the game. It’s what pulls you through the day. [You’re] working on other things, but there’s always attention to the upcoming game that night,” Burleson added. Of primary importance to Cal is the fan experience at Victory Field. Burleson said he has a “terrific staff” that works hard to ensure the franchise fulfills its mission of providing affordable and memorable family fun. And, he’s quick to acknowledge the vital role that Victory Field plays. “The ballpark has given us an important base – it’s been a big part of our success,” he enthused.

Burleson has a ‘winning isn’t everything” attitude, conceding the team isn’t going to win every year, but that it’s important to provide competitive baseball. As of this writing, the Tribe is in first place with the best winning percentage in all of baseball, including the majors. But not everything that happens between the lines is about the game. “We had a challenge with ducks earlier this year walking across the field while game was in play,” he laughed. “Right between the mound and home plate – three or four ducks. They flew off on the own. We didn’t shoot the ducks,” he smiled.

Burleson intends to continue building the Indians’ brand and attendance with little concern about tomorrow. “Baseball has a great future. People love it, they’re emotionally connected,” he said. “People love to go to games and have a good time. The most consistent thing I see is they’re smiling.” There’s no question Cal Burleson called his career shot – and that he knocked it out of the park.

Fishers’ First Pocket Park

| Whitney Mucha We are spoiled living in Fishers. Let’s face it, how many other towns in the country can boast of awards that include Top 100 Best Places to Live in America (Money), the number one slot among Top Ten Cities for Families in U.S. (The Learning Channel), and Forbes’ ranking of Fishers as 11th Best Place to Move? Ask your friends and neighbors why they love living in

Fishers and you will collect a laundry list of reasons. Topping my list are the green spaces that have been developed into parks for the community to enjoy. So, when I heard about the new “pocket park” open in downtown Fishers, I had to learn more.

What is a pocket park? A pocket park is a small amount of land in an urban environment that has been undeveloped or underused that is transformed into a public gathering space. Pocket parks are designed to provide space to sit, relax, and enjoy nature within the city. Because these parks are small in size, they are a perfect fit in every type of neighborhood. They do not offer playground equipment or New pocket park located by Handels on 116th St downtown Fishers 42

programmed activities, thus they are considerably less expensive than their larger counterparts. The first pocket park in our community is located next to Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream at 116th St and Maple. You aren’t mistaken – this location is where the old blue house used to stand in downtown Fishers. The 4,000 square foot lot has been transformed into an environmentally friendly park featuring bike racks, seating, and various options for local art to be displayed. The park offers a great meeting place for family and friends to gather while exploring all that the Nickel Place District has to offer. Jonny Glaros, Manager of Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream at 8760 E. 116th St, is excited about the new park. “I think it could help a lot of local businesses. Since there are limited parking and seating options at our location, this park will give our patrons another place to go to sit and enjoy their ice cream!”

newsletter | August 2013

7/24/2013 11:24:40 AM

Best of What’s Around owner, Danie Leever, shared the same enthusiasm about the park’s opening. “Each week I gain clients just from people walking around the town area either to concerts, to have ice cream, the farmer’s market or just for fresh air,” Leever said. “They’ll say they’ve driven past my shop ﬁve hundred times since I opened in February but only just now noticed it when they got out and walked and slowed down their hectic daily pace. Allowing people to take a break from rushing here and there can only increase my business.” Best of What’s Around opened earlier this year at 8745 116th St, and offers vintage-inspired home decor, gifts, and one-of-a-kind art by local artists. The location of the new pocket park is a perfect spot for more people to discover this local gem. Leever believes, “It’s a great start to the revitalization of the downtown area and I’m super blessed to be right in the middle of it all with my shop!” The Fishers Dept. of Community Development is working with the Arts Council, and the Fishers Cultural Tourism Group to create a public art plan. The pocket park will showcase both temporary and public art projects. The park was created to provide a space for residents and visitors to enjoy while visiting downtown shops, to relax before or after taking

in an event at the Nickel Plate District Amphitheater, or while walking or biking around town. The Downtown 2030 Master Plan marks this pocket park location for future redevelopment, and the current developers planned accordingly. The majority of the materials used in the park, including the pavers, slating, and fence, can be reused and transferred to other parks. The next time you are downtown,

come over to the new pocket park to sit down, take a break, and enjoy this innovative green space in our award-winning community.

DONUT WARS: ROUND 4 Knock-Out Blow Dealt at Jack’s Donuts in Saxony their retail end cap on 131st Street.

Neal Moore with GeistTV interviews the “Dough Boy” Greg who started working for Jack’s Donuts when he was 13 years-old. | Tom Britt

morning. However, duty called.

Our judges had to call the ﬁght in the fourth round of the Donut Wars. With sugar levels and donut love at an alltime high, Jack’s Donuts at Saxony in Fishers delivered a potential knock-out blow that put the quest for the ultimate donut in Geist into a “too close to call” category.

Jack’s Donuts in New Castle is an institution, boasting more than 50 years in business. Their ﬁrst franchisee in Saxony probably has the most buzz of any of the four contenders for the Sugar Cup (that’s the name we came up with for the Geist Jewelers trophy that we’ll be awarding next week). To clarify, the “buzz” is not only from the glazing on their wide variety of donut creations, but also from the word-ofmouth advertising they receive every time Saxony hosts a farmer’s market, outdoor movie or concert just behind

After a long July 4th celebration on the Geist Lake Coalition’s Blast on the Bridge, the thought of fresh donuts from the area’s newest donut shop was the only thing motivating me this

Tanglewood resident and former Indiana Weslyan University collegiate basketball player Angie BoneDowns could not be happier with the reception they’ve received since opening February 28. “In my little hometown, we had a small donut shop named Vogul’s that closed when the owners decided to retire. When I met my husband (from New Castle), he told me I had to try Jack’s,” recalled Bone-Downs. “I loved their donuts and found out that they were thinking of franchising, so the rest is history.” Why is Jack’s Donuts so good? One secret is in the kitchen. It’s not a secret ingredient or a proprietary oven, but the baker himself. “Dough Boy” Greg started working at Jack’s Donuts in New Castle when he was 13 years old. Outside of the kitchen, one might mistake him for a WWE wrestling star, bouncer, or football player. “I never played sports in high school, I was always too busy working at Jack’s,” he said while rolling out some famous pretzel donuts and sporting a Mohawk and a sleeve of tattoos. The ink highlight were the words “Dough” on his right ﬁst and “Boy” on the left. After watching Greg during Neal

Moore’s kitchen tour, I’m positive that he’s found his calling. Loyal customers agree. Jen Wilson stops in frequently with her 2-1/2 year old triplets for a dozen mixed donuts. She casts her vote for Jack’s Donuts saying, “It’s the only place I go, they are great!” Hamilton Southeastern’s girls basketball all-time leading scorer Taya Reimer stopped by to take home a box of donuts. She was home for the holiday, taking a break from basketball workouts at the University of Notre Dame where she will be a freshman this year. Her vote? “Jack’s is my favorite here at Geist.” When our judges were asked for their predictions, Andy Murphy from atGeist.com and WriteStuff Writers called the ﬁght, predicting Jack’s as the winner. Ballots were dropped off with the accounting ﬁrm of Wysocki & Company to be tabulated for the big announcement on July 12. At stake: bragging rights to the “Best Donut at Geist”, and the coveted “Sugar Cup”. Let me say that the Donut Wars has rekindled my love and appreciation for donuts overall. Each participating shop was locally-owned, had great customer service, and welcomed us and our judges with open arms. Nothing epitomizes “mom and pop” businesses like a donut shop with a line full of customers. In the words of Sunrise Donuts owner Bradd Morse, “No one walks into a donut shop with a frown.”
