PET REMEDIES

PAWS STOP HAS NUTRITION & WELLNESS SOLUTIONS TO CURE YOUR PETâ€™S PROBLEMS Itchy pet? Sensitive skin or stomach? Allergies? The good news is we can help with these issues and, in most cases, for less than most pet lovers think and much less costly than prescription diets. Food sensitivities and allergies have become more common over the 27 years we have been in business. We help furry family members with these concerns on a daily basis. The solution is not the same for every pet. We will ask lots of questions to guide you to the best and most economical solution. Itâ€™s not always a change of diet. We advise you

to change one thing at a time, so we can see how your pet reacts. It can take a bit of time, but the improvement in quality of life is certainly worth it. We have a variety of nutrition solutions that help or correct itchy and sensitive pets. You will not necessarily need to go to a limited ingredient diet. We have familyowned pet food companies that source and test ingredients for the qualities required to meet their specifications, and they manufacture their own foods. The quality of their ingredients will often provide the 8 / GEIST MAGAZINE / NOVEMBER 2017 / atGeist.com

solution needed. Our years of experience allow us to often succeed with the first and more affordable solution. There are times our pets provide more challenging issues. In these cases, it may require a few tries to succeed. We will work with you every step of the way. Diet is not always the problem, below are some additional areas we consider. Sometimes dry skin can cause symptoms that appear to be from allergies or sensitivities. If this is the case, we have

supplements, sprays, shampoos and topical treatments that can solve the issue without changing the diet. You may have a pet with fleas. Some pets will have a serious reaction to flea bites. We offer flea treatments for as little as $3 per month. We also have the name brands and in some cases the generic equivalent for much less. Mosquitoes now carry risks for our pets and some flea treatments provide protection from them as well. The skin is the largest organ of elimination. Many irritants, residues and compounds can be excreted through the skin. This is part of why pets develop skin symptoms from allergies that, in people, cause respiratory discharges. A temporary bout of itchiness or rash, may be part of the healing process. Sometimes treats, chews or dental products cause reactions. Older pets can have skin issues that appear to be from allergies or sensitivities as well. We can help with these too. We know that pet lovers want to provide the best and longest quality of life to their furry family members. Our passion is to provide our expertise to make that happen.

We help Pet Lovers improve the nutrition and health of family pets! Mon - Sat 9A - 8P Sunday 11A - 6P Do you really know whatâ€™s in your pets food, we do, be an informed Pet Lover. 8909 Pendleton Pike, just west of Post Rd

Erin Hunt, owner of The Beauty Bar at Geist, recently opened a new Carmel location of the salon.

clients, of which there are many.

For seven years, Erin Hunt lived in south Florida where she ran an accounting and marketing business. To unwind, she frequented specialty spas and salons that served alcohol while providing various services. When Hunt and her husband moved to Indiana after having their first baby, she was eager to have a girls’ day out with friends.

“I decided the Hoosier state needed a salon bar that serves wine and cocktails while clients get pampered,” says Hunt, who in July 2014 opened a full-service salon on Geist Reservoir that offers manicures, pedicures, skin care, hair styling, massage therapy and hair removal. “We focus on the girls’ night out concept, so we do lots of bachelorette parties, book clubs, bridal events. We make it a more intimate, fun environment.”

This summer the salon partnered with Hello Gorgeous, a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization that provides complimentary, professional makeovers and cosmetic education to women battling cancer. The Beauty Bar received training from the Hello Gorgeous staff and now participates in monthly makeovers in which they select a cancer patient — either someone who is currently enduring chemo treatments or has entered remission — and provide a complete 4-hour makeover, including hair, nails, facial, a new outfit from Maurice’s and a floral bouquet from McNamara Florist.

“We went out for manis and pedis and I asked, ‘Can we have wine?’” recalls Hunt, who considered sneaking it in in Dixie cups

They also do team-building events with coworkers. Plus, they cater to their regular 12 / GEIST MAGAZINE / NOVEMBER 2017 / atGeist.com

“We want to offer these women a break from their medical fight and just enjoy a day of bliss,” says Hunt, noting that the person who submits the nomination gets to stay with the makeover candidate and get pampered as well. When the makeover is complete, friends and family are invited to Eddy’s Neighborhood Bar & Grill for lunch and the big reveal. “It’s a huge surprise. That’s when the joy gets taken to a whole other level.” Training for the Hello Gorgeous campaign requires additional hours — not only for staff to understand important medical issues such as taking precautions to prevent infections but also providing tips on how to make a patient’s beauty day top-notch.

In a world of change, our focus is steadfast.

“These brave women are battling cancer, and that’s no easy feat,” Hunt says. “When we have these ladies in our chair, we want to make it the best, safest and most memorable experience we can.” In September, Hunt opened a secondary Beauty Bar location, which serves the Carmel and Westfield area. Though the Hello Gorgeous makeovers are not yet offered at the Carmel Beauty Bar, Hunt is currently working on partnering with nearby vendors and hopes to offer the experience there sometime after the first of the year.

POWER OF ATTORNEY OR GUARDIANSHIP? Writer / Mary Wisehart Phillips

In my 25 years of practice, there has been much confusion over the legal meaning and process of a Power of Attorney and Guardianship — even among professionals who deal in areas such as finances, who need to understand the distinctions. The demographics of our neighborhoods are changing as the population is aging, which makes this issue of growing importance. This article is meant to be a brief overview to help differentiate between Power of Attorney and Guardianship. Consultation should be sought with an attorney familiar with these issues to give advice on your specific circumstances and needs. A Power of Attorney, or POA, is a document (or the person granted authority) and is voluntarily given to a grantee by the grantor allowing the grantee (POA) to act on grantor’s behalf. There is no court involvement in establishing the POA, and the signature of the person authorizing this power (grantee) in another (grantor or POA) must be notarized. The person authorizing the power must also be mentally competent. The powers given may be limited or for a specific purpose, such as transferring title on a vehicle. POAs may also be limited for a specific date or period of time. A POA may also be durable. This means the powers given may endure beyond the incapacity of the individual (grantor) granting the powers in another (grantee).

MARY WISEHART PHILLIPS

Often this is done between spouses, or powers are given to an adult child or other trusted adult. Once a Power of Attorney is given, both the individual giving the powers and the person receiving authority to the powers can act on behalf of the grantor. The grantor does not loose the ability to make their own decisions on matters but additionally gives this ability to another, their POA. A durable Power of Attorney may prevent the need for a guardianship after the individual granting the powers (grantor) becomes incapacitated and unable to make their own decisions. Often this is done to allow another to pay bills, manage assets, manage income and other financial dealings for the grantor. Both a POA and a Durable POA may be revoked by the grantor. Again, consult an attorney if you need to revoke a POA as certain procedures must be followed for effectiveness. A Guardianship is a legal process where a court gives authority over a person or a person’s estate (assets and liabilities) to a competent person to act in the best interest of the ward (the person whom the guardianship is over). This process can be accomplished without a court hearing or trial if the appropriate consents are obtained and the court approves. If all necessary consents cannot be obtained, a judge will need to declare the person needing the assistance incompetent.

Incompetency may be due to the fact that the ward is a minor or due to mental or physical disabilities of the ward. Guardianships may also be for limited or specific purposes or for more comprehensive authority. The guardian is given a document, called, Letters of Guardianship, to prove their authority. With a guardianship, the ward no longer has the authority to act on their own behalf. The guardian is charged with duties and responsibility to act in the best interest of the ward and the ward’s estate. Guardians are required to periodically submit accountings to the court regarding the income, expenses and well-being of the ward. A guardianship may be dismissed or the guardian may be replaced by the court. Both the powers and authority given by a Power of Attorney and a Guardianship terminate at the grantor or ward’s death. This article does not deal with the definition or need for a Health Care Representative or a Personal Representative of an estate. There are also other processes that may be used in addition to the POA and Guardianship to help individuals and their needs. As individuals need assistance, there are different tools available to give this authority and help them manage their affairs. Consultation with an experienced attorney in this area of practice is highly recommended. Laws vary from state to state. This article addresses Indiana law only.

Owners Lisa and Curt Roberts celebrated the grand opening of Nothing Bundt Cakes on Oct. 19 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

NEW CAKE BOUTIQUE CELEBRATES GRAND OPENING IN FISHERS Writer / Suzanne Huntzinger Photographer / Jamie Sangar

It’s guaranteed to satisfy your sweet tooth. Nothing Bundt Cakes puts a new spin on the same old cakes and cupcakes, and it just opened. Right in the heart of Fishers’ retail district, adjacent to Five Guys and Target, the new Bundt cake boutique will wow you as soon as you walk through the door.

available in chocolate chip in the Bundtlet size as well. The larger sized cakes come in a variety of themes. You can have your cake customized for a birthday, baby or bridal shower, holiday or any special occasion. Your Bundt cake comes decorated with flowers hand shaped from tissue and adorned with accessories customized for your occasion. But the cakes come frosted in one color — the color of Nothing Bundt Cake’s signature cream cheese frosting.

says, but both agree Nothing Bundt Cakes is a great fit. “It’s perfect for us. I love the company culture and commitment to quality,” Curt says. The corporate marketing team offered the Robertses two location choices — one at Hamilton Town Center and the other in the heart of Fishers. “We chose this location because it’s right in the heart of where everyone comes to handle life’s everyday business,” Lisa says. “They’re in the area to go to Target, or the cleaners, lunch or a haircut. We’re visible and we’ve got convenient parking.”

If you haven’t had the pleasure already of trying a sample from owners Curt and Lisa Roberts’ Fishers location, stop in and try a sample of a Bundt cake in one of their 10 mouth-watering flavors like chocolate chip, red velvet, lemon and white chocolate raspberry. Those four flavors happen to be the most popular, but I guarantee the other six flavors will be impossible to resist.

The Roberts family was hooked on the franchise when they stumbled upon it almost by accident. During a visit to Lisa’s hometown in West Virginia, a family member told the pair about the Bundt cake bakery, and the two dived in to research everything about becoming a franchisee. After a series of phone interviews and in-person interviews, Lisa and Curt only became more impressed.

Marble, pecan praline, carrot, classic vanilla, cinnamon swirl, confetti and the four top sellers are all available in a 10-inch size, eight-inch, tiered Bundt, Bundtlet size and Bundtini size. A gluten-free version is

“It’s just pure, simple, wholesome ingredients,” Curt says. “Flour, sugar, eggs, we bake it all here in store, so it’s fresh daily.” “We got to choose from a selection of vendors which gift items to offer in the The new venture was a bit scary at first, Lisa boutique. We also got to select from their NOVEMBER 2017 / GEIST/FISHERS MAGAZINE

Decorating their store was another part of the process. Though all Nothing Bundt Cakes stores are a similar boutique-style bakery, there were variables that needed to be considered as they made decisions for customizing their store.

paint schemes, window treatments and fixtures,” Lisa says. The balance seems perfect for Curt, who says he and Lisa are a perfect team. “I like the nuts and bolts part of the business and baking,” he says. “Lisa is more of the designer. You can see a little piece of her in the store.” Lisa spent time before the store’s grand opening doing what she calls grass roots marketing. She visited schools and other places in the community sharing samples of their cake. “My goal is to put cake in everyone’s mouths,” Lisa says. Nothing Bundt Cakes Fishers celebrated its grand opening the weekend of October 19, complete with a ribbon cutting ceremony with the Chamber of Commerce present. Showing their true heart for community, the Robertses gave the first 50 guests in line coupons for one free Bundtlet (individual sized cake) every month for a year. They also donated 20 percent of their proceeds to Special Olympics. Don’t miss out on your piece of Bundt cake.

What’s Your Beef? PORTILLO’S CELEBRATES GRAND OPENING IN FISHERS 9,000-square-foot Fishers eatery at 116th Street and I-69 on September 28, and Chief Executive Officer Keith Kinsey says the Indy residents no longer need to drive north timing was perfect for Indy to be the latest for hours if the craving for a Portillo’s allin Portillo’s growing list of locations. beef, Chicago-style hot dog or Italian beef happens to strike. “We started looking at Indianapolis Writer / Jon Shoulders Photographer / Jamie Sangar

growth in the Midwest. We love to be a part of what’s going on here.” The Fishers Portillo’s is the second location in Indiana, including a location in Merrillville, and Kinsey says the expansion is part of a natural gravitation toward the Indiana market the company has seen over the past few years. “We have a lot of guests in this area that

order food from us on the web and get it shipped, and then we also have a lot of people from Indianapolis that drive up to Merrillville to get their weekend hit,” Kinsey says. “So, Indianapolis in general is a great market for us and a big opportunity. The location just off I-69 is a major growing area. You’ve got a lot going on there with the new IKEA, and we’re beautifully positioned right there in the middle of it.” In addition to its signature all-beef hot dog that comes with a wide choice of toppings and garnishments, Kinsey expects the restaurant’s sandwiches, ribs and desserts to be hits with the greater Indy market. “The Italian beef is phenomenal and we expect that to be popular here,” he says. “People connect with that very well. We have many salad choices too if you’re in the mood, and then of course you can’t end your visit without making sure you either get a slice of cake or our cake shake.” Yes, Portillo’s actually mixes in chunks of chocolate cake with ice cream and milk to achieve its unique cake-shake consistency. Portillo’s has hired 150 employees, as well as a seven-member management team, for the 200-seat restaurant, which includes a drive-through and ample outdoor seating. Kinsey says all but one of the staff members were hired locally, and Area Market Manager Marc Miller adds that the company endeavored to create a visual aesthetic that honors the local community. Interior brick walls, neon signs and checkered tablecloths add to the lively, eclectic atmosphere, while old-school food and beverage posters provide a throwback to the ‘30s, ‘40s and ‘50s. “As you come in, you see a whole section on the wall with pictures that go into the history of Fishers,” Miller says. “We have a car on display that was built in 1915 here in Indy. With the overall look on the inside of the restaurant, we’ve really tried to connect with the reasons why Fishers is a great place to live.” Portillo’s is located at 9201 East 116th Street in Fishers.

NOVEMBER'S LUCKIEST ALIVE Zeke Sodrel SUBMIT YOUR STORY ONLINE AT TOWNEPOST.COM! If you are chosen, you'll win dinner for two at the Homestretch Steakhouse and $100 each in gambling comps. You must be 21 years of age or older to participate.

STILL FEARLESS AFTER FIVE ACCIDENTS Writer / Christy Heitger-Ewing

Zeke Sodrel is only 21 years old, but according to his mom, Angie, she estimates that he’s already burned through most of his nine lives. He was just 14 years old when he was messing around on his dirt bike. After taking a jump, he had a fight with gravity on his way back down to earth when the handle bars went between his goggles and his helmet, crushing his septum upon landing.

pole. Because Zeke’s window was rolled down, his face scraped the wooden pole. Splinters punctured his face, which also sustained multiple fractures. “My face hurt and was swollen for a couple of months,” he says. It was another situation where had his body been positioned just an inch in a different direction and the impact could have been fatal.

“The doctor said Zeke’s nose was crushed worse than any he’d ever seen other than a drag racer he had worked on who had crashed into a wall,” Angie says. “The doctor also made it clear that had the handle bars hit just a half an inch upward, he would have died instantly because they would have been driven into his brain stem.”

“Thankfully, God kept all my kids safe that day,” Angie says.

After repairing the septum, Zeke was told no contact sports for eight weeks. Not that recovery slowed him down much. It seems nothing does.

Despite these near-misses, Zeke, landscaping manager for Sodrel Lawnscapes, LLC in Greenwood, hasn’t taken his foot off the gas pedal of life. He still approaches every day, fearless and full of highenergy spirit.

“He’s a fearless kid with a high tolerance for pain,” says Angie, who describes her son as a hard worker who also likes to have fun to the extreme. An avid fisherman and hunter, Zeke likes to build wheeling rigs, which he takes to off-road parks. He also races dirt bikes on the weekend at various motocross races. Zeke admits that he’s got a reputation for pushing the limits. “Everybody does kind of call me a daredevil,” he admits. It turns out that the high pain tolerance is a characteristic that has served him well through the years. In July 2013, Zeke was riding in the car with his sister, who was driving, when suddenly a squirrel darted in front of the car. She reflexively jerked the steering wheel in the opposite direction, overcorrecting and sideswiping a telephone

And that wasn’t the only day the divine intervened on Zeke’s behalf. When he started driving, he took a corner too fast in the rain and totaled his truck. He also totaled two other vehicles in two separate accidents — each time walking away without a scratch.

“Honestly, none of these accidents have altered my son’s personality in the slightest,” Angie says. “In fact, he just broke his ankle a month ago in a dirt bike race. He goes for it — always living life to the fullest. In doing so, he’s given me a lot of gray hairs.” Zeke was unaware that his mom had even entered him in the Luckiest Hoosier Alive contest until she delivered the news that he had won. “That’s awesome!” he says of learning that his prize winnings include going to Hoosier Park Racing & Casino for an evening of gambling and a free dinner for two. Perhaps he’ll take his mom. I think mothers everywhere will agree that she’s earned it.

CARDINALS SEEK BREAKTHROUGH SEASON Writer / Matt Roberts Photography provided by Ball State Athletics

Entering their fifth season under Coach James Whitford, Ball State University basketball may be poised for a breakthrough.

“(Recruiting in-state) is critical,” Whitford says. “Indiana is such a talent-rich hotbed. The talent here is one of the main reasons I wanted to come to Ball State.” The Cardinals return a wealth of experience in the backcourt including junior point guard Tayler Persons. Whitford credits Persons with speeding up the team’s offensive tempo last year.

After posting fewer than eight wins in each of his first two years, the next two seasons ended with the Cardinals winning more than 20 games each and enjoying “We’ve always tried to play fast, but we were postseason play for the first time since 2002. better on offense and Tayler Persons is a really good point guard,” he says. At least part of the reason for the turnaround may be the Cardinals’ success Whitford’s greatest concern is a scarcity of at recruiting Indiana high school players. options in the post. Over the course of his four years in Muncie, Whitford has landed eight Indiana “If there’s something that keeps me up at All-Stars. In the 10 years immediately night it’s our depth in the frontcourt,” he prior, Ball State signed only two. Those 10 says. “We really can’t afford injuries there. years resulted in only one winning season We have (Tahjai) Teague and Trey Moses, and no postseason berths. but after that we go sophomore-freshmanINDY METRO / NOVEMBER 2017 / TownePost.com

freshman. Those guys are going to have to contribute this year.” The Cardinals lost two starters to graduation from last from last year’s 21-13 team in Franko House and Indianapolis Roncalli product Ryan Weber. Though both will be missed, Whitford worries more about replacing House. “Ryan was a good player, but we have a little more depth there,” Whitford says. “We’re pretty deep in the perimeter. Franko was a unique player. He was a playmaker from the 4 and 5 spot, so we’ll have to make up for him by committee.” The 2017-18 season opens with several tough tests, including dates with Oregon, Dayton, Oklahoma and Notre Dame. Mid-November has the Cardinals bouncing between Oklahoma, Oregon and Pennsylvania over the course of just eight days.

“There’s no question that this is our toughest schedule by far,” Whitford says. “It’s really difficult not only with the competition but with the travel. “Since I got here, I’ve been trying to get involved in the more high-profile ESPN events. It’s not that hard for us to get games with major schools on the road, but it’s very hard to get them at a neutral site, and it’s hard for us to get on ESPN.” With increased success and higherprofile opponents come higher fan expectations. The last time Ball State played in the NCAA tournament, most of the current roster was in preschool. It’s quite a leap from the College Basketball Insider Tournament (CIT) to the NCAA. But with consecutive 20-win seasons capped by postseason play, the Cardinals may be ready for the next step.

STRAIGHT SHOOTER JANET HOLCOMB TALKS ART, ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND BECOMING A GUN SAFETY INSTRUCTOR

Writer / Kara Kavensky Photographer / Brian Brosmer

Walking the grounds at the Penrod Arts Fair on #IndianasNicestDay, First Lady Janet Holcomb readily points out the artistic technique used by one of many talented artists.

to 10 years in 4-H. She was also a Girl Scout. Her drawing cultivated her desire for creativity, which she says applies to her decision-making and many areas of her life.

“During college, I took business classes, having been influenced by my parents and grandparents, who are small business owners,” says Holcomb, who earned “This is encaustic painting, which involves her undergraduate and master’s degrees a method of warming wax, adding colored in Fine Art from Ball State University. pigments and applying on a specially treated “I understood the importance of canvas or wood,” Holcomb says. “It gives the entrepreneurship as a supplement to a painting depth.” potential career in the arts.” A few feet behind us, the artist is encouraging other attendees to touch his painting, for it is approachable. The term “approachable” also describes Holcomb. She is walking around Penrod with her niece, relatively under the radar, for few people recognize her and she is quite comfortable with this.

Holcomb has served as Vice President of her family’s business, R&R Engineering, headquartered in Summitville, Indiana. Due to her responsibilities as Indiana’s First Lady, she needed to step away from R&R to take on an entirely different role, yet in some ways she is coming full circle with her passions.

Growing up near Muncie on a horse farm, Holcomb’s first loves were horses, ponies and drawing. The equestrian passion led

Upon her husband taking the oath of office, one of Holcomb’s first meetings was with the Indiana Arts Commission. INDY METRO / NOVEMBER 2017 / TownePost.com

“The Arts are so important. It enhances the quality of life in our community, shows a richness of culture and diversity, and there is so much talent in Indiana to celebrate,” Holcomb says. “Art adds so much to our lives and shows us new things. An experience with the arts has a tremendously positive impact.” A serendipitous moment occurred at Penrod Arts Fair when the First Lady visited with local artist Jessica Green, who does a lot of plein air painting in and around Indianapolis. The First Lady commented that Green might enjoy painting at the Governor’s Residence some time. This simple suggestion became a reality a couple weeks later. Armed with paint brushes, a small army of en plein air painters set up their easels around the exterior of the Residence, capturing the beauty of the grounds. Green, alongside six other Indy painters, went to work painting a scene in the garden. Green is known for her fresh and modern style, utilizing bright colors.

“Indy has a great, thriving arts community,” Green says. “It’s a pleasure to have our First Lady be so supportive of the arts.” Harrison Arts Center resident Justin Vining was among the painters. Vining is a renowned landscape painter with a specialty in architecture. Artists Addie Hirschten, Alicia Zanoni, Donna Shortt, Stephanie Thomson, and Jed Dorsey were also engaged in creating landscapes alongside one another. “The grounds are beautiful all year long,” Holcomb says. “It is wonderful to capture the spaces on canvas by these talented artists.” “It’s surprising where this (creative approach) intersects: with cooking, decorating at home, business decisions. It is all bound by a common thread of creativity,” adds Holcomb, who sees elements of her formal art training as a creative problem solver. Another passion of Holcomb’s was facilitated by an unpleasant experience, and one that illustrates her strength and resilience. A few years ago, while Holcomb and her husband were asleep, their home was burglarized and her purse stolen. The police told them that it was for the best that they did not wake up during the home invasion, as the suspects were likely armed. Holcomb had been afraid of guns but decided to take a gun safety class. The experience did not end there, because she enjoyed it. This led to several more classes and becoming an instructor. She focuses upon the safety and responsibility, proper usage and education of fire arms. “I felt vulnerable and violated,” says Holcomb, who realized she had several thousands of dollars charged to her credit cards by the time she woke up after the burglary. “We need a way to defend ourselves. I had reached out to some friends who were into shooting sports and took some classes.” TownePost.com / NOVEMBER 2017 / INDY METRO

This year, for the first Gridiron Dinner since her husband took office, one of the best jokes of the evening centered around First Lady Janet Holcomb and her accomplishment of being an experienced markswoman. “The barricades that used to line the front lawn of the Governor’s Residence have been replaced with signs of Janet Holcomb holding a gun that read, ‘Go ahead, make my day!’” shared the pundit, garnering one of the biggest laughs of the evening. Holcomb, who was not present for that dinner, smiles and says, “Yes, I heard about that!” Given her many interests, which include entrepreneurship, gun safety, Veterans affairs, and the arts, Holcomb is thoughtful in her approach as her role as First Lady with defining her agenda. She thoroughly enjoys being in public and meeting fellow Hoosiers. One of her favorite moments was meeting 4-H students at the Indiana State Fair who share the same passion that she had as a young girl. Holcomb and her husband proudly attend events all over the state and around the world, yet perhaps the most popular Holcomb family member has four legs. With his own social media following, the First Dog, Henry, a Miniature Schnauzer, tends to steal the show when accompanying the Holcombs. You can follow Henry on Twitter at @FirstDogHenry and the Holcombs at @FLJanetHolcomb and @GovHolcomb. INDY METRO / NOVEMBER 2017 / TownePost.com

GIVING BACK Debbie Ramos, Director of Education - Rainbow Station Writer / Debbie Ramos

Holiday time is approaching, and it can be overwhelming. Keeping it simple and less materialistic is important in remembering that family and love should be the focal point for the holidays. To help reduce the stress, remember to schedule quiet time for you and your children to do such things as read books, lounge on the couch and listen to music - taking full advantage of the beauty of the season. Teaching your children that not everything they want can always be theirs is essential. The key is to want things in moderation and to fully appreciate what you're given. Emphasize that the holidays are a special time to be with family and friends, and that a lot of love and thought is put into gift giving. Have your children go through their toys and see what they have outgrown or don’t play with anymore. So, they can donate these items to needy families. It’s teaching the joy of giving. Volunteering with your child offers an ideal opportunity for families to have fun and feel closer to each other at the same time. Volunteerism can show kids that giving your time, effort and kindness is more rewarding than just expecting to receive lots of presents. Community

service can teach kids that giving comes in movie certificates, guitar lessons and sewing lessons are all interesting ideas, too. many forms, not just as presents. Emphasize that giving of their time, effort and caring can mean so much more — and last longer — than any gift that money can buy. It also helps our children see that there are many others that are less fortunate than they are. Sponsor another family in need or purchase some presents for less fortunate children through a holiday donation program. Let your kids pick out and wrap the gifts themselves. Our children have so many blessings. Volunteering and giving back often helps us realize how fortunate we are. It’s important to spend time with them in meaningful ways building traditions such as playing songs while making cookies or making a special family recipe, watching a traditional TV program, caroling in your neighborhood, visiting a nursing home, serving at a food bank or mission center. Of course, all children love to receive as well. But make those purchases something that won’t get played with for a short time and then just set aside. Keep in mind what your child enjoys. For example, if your child enjoys drawing, you might consider giving them art lessons. Dance lessons, 40 / GEIST MAGAZINE / NOVEMBER 2017 / atGeist.com

The simpler the better. The true meaning of the holidays is family and love. Isn’t that the beauty? Happy Holidays to you and yours!

Topgolf, a restaurant, entertainment and golfing venue with more than 30 locations nationwide, opened its first Indiana location on October 13 and is now in full swing on 116th Street in Fishers across from IKEA and Portillo’s.

The 65,000-square-foot, all-ages complex features more than 100 climate-controlled hitting bays on three levels where guests can play computerized golf games using balls equipped with microchips. Topgolf hired 500 full-time and part-time employees to staff the facility, which offers membership packages and will be open year-round except for Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.

“We have games for beginners, or you can play more advanced practice games if you’re a golfer,” says Adrienne Chance, director of corporate communications for Topgolf. “There’s the rooftop terrace where you can just come and enjoy a drink and live music. We also have pool tables in the lower-level lounge. And you can change the channel on the TV in your hitting bay to watch whatever game you want. It’s a very unique

venue and experience.” Chance says long-time demand for an Indy presence made the decision to open a Fishers location easy for the company. “The Midwest is a huge market that we had barely tapped into, and Indianapolis had been on our radar for a long time,” she says. “We’ve had messages coming through on social media for years asking when we are going to build a location in the Indianapolis area.”

“When we started exploring this area, Fishers was consistently recognized as a top place to live, work and play, and there’s lots of businesses coming here,” says Chance, adding that Topgolf Fishers offers free gaming sessions Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. for high school golf teams and any charity serving youth. “So, we wanted to be part of this community.

The support from the community’s been incredible.” Zariah Lombroso, marketing manager for Topgolf Fishers, says one of the company’s strengths is the diverse experience it can offer patrons. “Topgolf is for everyone – all ages, all skill levels,” Lombroso says. “We want to be a place where the community can come together and have a great time. Whether it’s a family night out, a meeting or first date, Topgolf is a place for all. “The majority of the food is made from scratch daily, and we strive to make awesome food for every occasion,” she adds. “Topgolf isn’t your typical bar food, and we can’t wait for guests to experience it.” The Fishers City Council approved construction of the facility in January of 2016, and Chance says Topgolf ’s economic output is projected to be $264.5 million over a 10-year period. “The biggest thing I can tell those who have not been to Topgolf is be prepared to have a great time,” Lombroso adds. “You do not have to be a golfer to enjoy Topgolf. In fact, half of our guests are non-golfers. We have many different entertainment options for all to enjoy.” Topgolf is located at 9200 E. 116 St. in Fishers.

BUTLER BASKETBALL HEAD COACH LAVALL JORDAN LOOKS TO CONTINUE WINNING TRADITION Writer / Matt Roberts

Butler University basketball has been remarkably resilient through its last six coaching changes. From Thad Matta to Chris Holtmann, the Bulldogs regularly promoted assistant coaches to the top job and continued to enjoy success. New Coach LaVall Jordan spent last year at the University of Milwaukee, but that doesn’t mean he’s a stranger to the program. After playing at Butler under coach Todd Lickliter, Jordan served as an assistant coach at Butler for four years. He then joined Lickliter’s staff at Iowa and moved on to Michigan before accepting the head coaching

the mark of a champion. “I give that group a lot of credit. There were a lot of reasons not to believe, losing nine in a row, but when we won the first game (in the tournament) it was like, ‘Hey, we just did it the way we wanted to all year.’”

A first-year head coach might be expected to question his coaching philosophy after such Working with multiple successful coaches a tough start, but Jordan believes staying has provided Jordan with an opportunity to true to the process facilitated the late-season absorb distinctive strengths and styles. turnaround. “I’ve been fortunate with the type of people “Nothing changed,” he says. “Which is I’ve been around,” Jordan says. “They’re all what allowed us to have good results.

Coach Beilein is a great tactician. I really learned how to run a program from him. “I still lean on them all now,” Jordan adds. “The nice thing is, they’re just a phone call away.” Jordan was named Butler’s head basketball coach in June, which left only a few weeks to verify that all the freshmen were staying and make arrangements for the team’s trip to Spain. The Bulldogs got four games against international competition and the trip provided a good opportunity for the team to gel with its new coach. “That was really beneficial,” Jordan says. “We had 10 days just to be together and build relationships, especially with the freshmen. It was also good to be able to go

against an opponent. Because in practice, you’re trying to figure out if it was good offense or bad defense. Facing somebody else and having some adversity and seeing who was communicating, having guys make some important shots and seeing what the freshmen can do.” Jordan will put his own stamp on the team, but don’t expect any wholesale changes to

“The Butler Way.” “We’ve always been opportunistic here, but valuing the basketball has been a staple,” he says. “We’ve always been rated pretty highly in fewest turnovers, and that won’t change. If it does, we’ll have to have some conversations. And playing unselfishly has always been a staple, I don’t see the way we play changing that much.”

WHEN THE SMOKE CLEARS RON LIPPS RETIRES AFTER 21 YEARS WITH THE FISHERS FIRE DEPARTMENT

Writer / Matt Keating Photography provided by Fishers Fire Department

After serving as a firefighter for 21 years, Ron Lipps retired from the Fishers Fire Department at the end of October. What he will miss the most about leaving the job is the wonderful people he has met over the last two decades. “This job is very relationship-based, and I have developed some wonderful relationships with the people in Fishers,” Lipps says. “I’ve learned that if you try to be confrontational, you will not win a lot of friends or influence people. I’ve enjoyed meeting a lot of great folks and being in a job where I was in a position to change the way people think about fire prevention.” Lipps, a fire inspector for the Fishers Fire Department, noted that when firefighters are on the front line dealing with fires, they often have a short-term interaction with the public.

“It’s good to be able to get out at other times and talk to people about fire prevention and ways to change your home or office to make them more fire-proof,” Lipps says. Lipps’ co-worker, John Mehling, captain and external affairs officer for the Fishers Fire Department, says firefighters often “see some bad stuff that leaves an impression, and it can build on you. We deal with death and injury, and that can be tough to face after a long time.” Lipps still remembers fatal fires he fought and having to see badly injured adults and children and, in some cases, death. “There are some things you never forget, but as horrible as the negative things are, they can be turned into positives by making people more aware of things they can do to prevent fires,” Lipps says. “Sometimes you have to have a bad moment to become a preventable moment later. Taking the time to make sure your home or business is safe can make a big difference later. NOVEMBER 2017 / GEIST/FISHERS MAGAZINE

“The positive things that happen behind the scenes can prevent the fires and other bad things from ever happening in the first place,” he adds. “That’s why prevention is so important.” Lipps says he enjoys teaching fire safety and prevention to several elementary schools in Fishers. “The kids in kindergarten to second grade are great listeners, they are enthusiastic, and they really know to take in what we are teaching them,” Lipps says. “It’s the adults that can be tougher to get through to sometimes.” There have been occasions when Lipps had to fight fires in multiple locations in one night, and then be ready to attend a fire safety public relations event the next day. “That’s when Starbucks puts the extra shots of coffees in your drink, and the caffeine really comes in handy,” Lipps says. “Sometimes you can have some long nights

putting out fires, and you still need to be ready in the morning to visit a business, a school or a place that needs to be inspected.” Lipps stressed that code enforcements can often present multiple problems in a business. “There are so many things people are not aware of,” Lipps says. “We heavily promote fire sprinklers, which are often completely shown on TV as being easily set off. There’s a lot of bad information on social media that puts bad ideas in kids’ heads. Kids see something on YouTube or on TV and do something dumb. I enjoy meeting the kids in the schools and the community and informing them about fire prevention and the right thing to do. I’ve been doing that for a long time.” Lipps started out as a volunteer for the Zionsville Fire Department. “That’s where I first got the bug to become a fireman,” he says. “I was a police scanner buff, and I would listen to emergency calls a lot. I was afraid of blood, but I didn’t let it stop me from jumping into action when someone is injured or needs help.” He joined the Fishers Fire Department in 1996, and became a lieutenant in 1998 then a Department Fire Marshall and Public Information Officer in 2001.

Ron Lipps joined the Fishers Fire Department in 1996.

“Ron has been outstanding in his job,” Mehling says. “He has such a positive attitude. His accomplishments have been numerous, including becoming Officer of the Year in 2001. He has always been upwardly mobile and has achieved a lot through his insightful and visionary ideas. He has seen a lot of growth in Fishers over the years and has been a big part of that.” During his retirement, Lipps plans to work as a civilian for the Zionsville Fire Department and spend time with his wife, Shawn and their kids. “I’m also looking forward to still seeing the great people I work with, and the great people in the Fishers community,” Lipps says.

New Walk-In Clinic Is First Step To Getting Better

“

No two days are ever the same for nurse practitioner Heather Gregg. From sprains to breaks to tears, Heather sees it all at the Central Indiana Orthopedics (CIO) Fishers Walk-In Clinic.

The Walk-In Clinic is another example of Central Indiana Orthopedics’ desire to better serve the people who live right here in Fishers. By giving people in pain a ready-option beyond the emergency room, CIO is helping bring patients and care closer together. Now, instead of waiting to see a physician or toughing out an injury on their own, patients can get an accurate diagnosis in a short time with relative ease.

From x-rays to casting, braces to wraps, the clinic works to set patients on the road to recovery fast. But it’s not all about speed. Heather and her orthopedically trained teammates work to ensure the diagnosis is correct and that the best possible treatment occurs. “My number one goal is to get the people we see back to doing what they want to do.” Gregg notes, “Whether that’s getting back to work, back on the field or just living life the way they want, we are a part of the healing process. And if the injury requires surgery or procedures we do not offer at the clinic, I’m able to expedite a referral to one of our surgeons fairly quickly.”

Because we’re close and you don’t need an appointment, people can get in and get help. We’re all excited to be a part of the healing process.”

CIO’s Walk-In Clinic is located at St. Vincent Fishers, 13914 Southeastern Parkway, Suite 320 and open weekdays, Monday through Thursday 8:00AM – 3:00PM and Fridays 8:00AM – 11:00AM. With more than 65 years serving central Indiana, CIO offers patients board-certified surgeons and experienced physicians who are supported by an orthopedically trained clinical staff. From head-totoe, if something’s not right, Central Indiana Orthopedics specializes in a full spectrum of orthopedic care. Now with the Walk-In Clinic, that care is one step closer to those who need it.

FAMILY TIME AROUND THE HARVEST TABLE Writer / Carrie Petty

Gathering. Community. Something we all need more of during the holiday, and the family table is the best place to do such a thing. This is where the ancestry storytelling happens. When grandpa shares about growing up in his family home, or how he met grandma. It is like connecting the dots for the younger generations. It is when family recipes are served in great grandmother's china, and the announcement of a new baby is often made. Gathering. It is an intuitive thing we do to share stories and break bread, and I for one think it should be celebrated with a great table setting to match the sumptuous meal and special memories. Setting a beautiful table for a meal is something of an art. Emily Post's 14th Edition of Etiquette, devotes more

than 17 pages to the art of table settings. Clearly, I am old fashioned, but I just can't help it. I love traditions. Traditions keep us grounded in these hectic times. They are something you can count on, and longstanding traditions bring rhythm and comfort to life. Don't you think? I remember our youngest son saying when he was little, "Mom, we can't go on vacation over Thanksgiving. We have to wake up to the smell of turkey in the morning!" I could not agree more. Work ahead! Preparing for such special gatherings does not have to make us fret. Do a little at a time and keeping great lists and notes helps. I have a special journal where I keep notes from the previous Thanksgivings. They help direct me away from the terrible Yam recipe of 2004 and note never to put walnuts in the stuffing again, particularly when Uncle Bill is in the house. He's allergic! Use the heirlooms. They always help GEIST/FISHERS MAGAZINE / NOVEMBER 2017

tell a story. Start with your dishes. The color and type will set the theme. I have a white bone china with a gold edge that was our wedding pattern. The gold helps me select the centerpiece colors. Stickily harvest tones. Pine cones, gourds and fragrant oranges pierced with fresh clove arranged in an antique wooden bowl, placed in the center of the table on a bed of fresh, green lemon leaves. I always use something botanical and from the garden. The candle sticks are placed on each side, but never use fragrant candles, it will interfere with the food aromas. Make sure you leave some negative space on the table to avoid a 'junkie' look. I always set the table on Monday, after I have cleaned the house and dusted the chandelier. I then cover the entire setting with a clean sheet until Thursday morning. It helps keep the crystal goblets sparkling. Post-it note the platters. I serve everything from the long hutch in the kitchen, buffet style. I select all my serving pieces and platters ahead of time and place a sticky

note to label each. Also, build a menu timeline for what goes into the oven and when. It helps organize oven and refrigerator space so that everything is served piping hot. Emily Post suggests that the key to a formal table is geometry and that everything is equally spaced and placed. She always suggests place cards. I love place cards. It keeps my lefthanded brother from bumping into my righthanded son. And you can help direct good conversation by where you place your guests. Placing a small gift for your guests to the left of the place card adds repetition and height to the table. I usually select a new, small Christmas ornament to give each member of the family. Something my Aunt Winnie use to do, however, she made hers. I still have all of mine today. Each of us have a family story to tell when we gather together around the table. Start building your traditions and stories this Thanksgiving. All a part of knowing how to "Grow a Beautiful Life!"

Local sculptors create hand-carved cigar store Indian statues Writer / Suzanne Huntzinger Photographer / Jamie Sangar

In these modern times, there are thousands of varieties of signs to announce the product or service offered in a store. But imagine going to a strip mall and not knowing which shop sold what goods. In the early 1800s, the Indians made signs by carving an Indian from wood, carefully etching an object in the shape of the items sold in the store. It’s no surprise that right outside a cigar shop would be a statue of an Indian holding cigars. Villagers loved statues for their artistry and historical value. But through the years, many decayed or were destroyed. Somehow the fan base for these beloved statues survived. One special gallery in Geist has done amazing things to preserve the history and artistry of these special figures. Fall Creek Gallery, owned

by sculptors Julie Hollis and Chie Kramer, brings these Cigar Store Indian statues back to life. As the number one producer of tobacconist figures, Julie and Chie sculpt Cigar Store Indian masterpieces by hand out of wood. They use the wood from dead trees only, donated from tree services. “Our client base is one of the most eclectic I’ve ever seen,” Hollis says. “We get requests from anyone ranging from the most passionate cigar smoker to the general art aficionado.” About half of their clients request the statue for their private homes and the rest make their homes in an office setting. “Some clients call asking for a specific Indian Chief or squaw, and we’ll research atGeist.com / NOVEMBER 2017 / GEIST MAGAZINE / 59

it and make it. Others buy one ready-made from the gallery,” Hollis says. Part of the market for tobacconist figures comes from fans of Punch Cigars. The Cigar company started in 1840 and fashioned their statues with animated, whimsical features. Antique Punch Cigar figures are hard to find, and some can go for hundreds of thousands of dollars. But you can have a replica made at Fall Creek Gallery. The Gallery is the only one that makes Punch figures, and Hollis and Kramer can recreate one at a much more reasonable price. Customizing art for clients is something Hollis and Kramer have been doing for years. Kramer began his 30-year career as a sculptor and became a Hoosier Salon Award Winning Sculptor. Hollis has a 20year career as a floral designer, and she still maintains her clientele through Julie’s

Flowers of Geist. When the pair met and married, their art took a new path. “It’s a fusion of art and love,” Hollis says. The two blended their crafts, together making about 6,000 sculptures through the years. But producing art didn’t remain so simple. Hollis was diagnosed with breast cancer and had to undergo painful surgery. The recovery process was equally painful. But art triumphed, and it was Kramer who helped make that happen. “Chie suggested that I start sculpting again,” Hollis says. “He thought the movement of my hands and arms would be great physical therapy, and it was.” Now the couple continues creating cigar store Indian statues in the gallery, inspired by the peaceful setting of their riverside property, which sits tucked away along the Fall Creek trail. You’ll often find them on their porch working on a statue. “We don’t stop in the winter,” Hollis says. “We’ve been out here in our coats and boots in the cold weather working to complete a statue.” Browsing through their gallery, you can see their passion for their art shining through in each piece. Each statue sits about four to six feet tall and sits on a stand. They range from the very high detail, fully painted with welldefined features to a very basic figure and are priced accordingly. “All are unique in the end,” Hollis says. “They each have their own little soul.” Come check out these life-like Indian statues for yourself. Fall Creek Gallery is open daily 12-6 p.m. Many visitors are art aficionados, but they welcome educational groups too, like Boy Scout troops who want to come to earn their badges or school groups. Call Julie today at 317-493-8583 to plan your visit. Browse their website at cigarstoreindianstatue.com and pick out your Cigar Store Indian today. Julie and Chie will ship anywhere in the world.

MT. VERNON HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT TAKES SERVANT LEADERSHIP TO THE NEXT LEVEL

The importance of serving others is taught throughout a student’s educational career at Mt. Vernon Community School Corporation. However, some inspiring students take servant leadership much further. Senior Matthew Boyle is one of those students.

Matthew became involved with the Butler Soup Kitchen when he volunteered with his mom last summer and realized he enjoyed the tasks and engaging with the people. The volunteers helped inspire him to try and make a difference in other people’s lives. The Soup Kitchen uses every bit of food they receive, including food donated from Mt. Vernon Schools’ food rescue (unused packaged cafeteria food).

Through his efforts, visitors at the Kenneth Butler Memorial Soup Kitchen are seeing life much clearer with their new free eye glasses from Ossip Optometry.

Some of the responsibilities he helps with include many tasks others don’t really want to do: wash tables and chairs, take trash out, as well as organize and distribute food.

Provided by Mt. Vernon Community School Corporation

62 / GEIST MAGAZINE / NOVEMBER 2017 / atGeist.com

Matthew says he really doesn’t mind at all, he’s happy to serve. While he’s at the Soup Kitchen, he tries to ask the visitors how they are doing, with a smile. “I want to make their day better, because they deserve to be treated the same,” Boyle says. “They are people like you and me, only because of some unfortunate event or random circumstance, they are struggling to find a place to live or eat.” His mother’s office is in the same building

complex as an Ossip Optometry, and through this connection, they learned that one time a year, Ossip gives a free eye exam and glasses to those in need on their “Ossip Day of Giving.” It was at that point when Matthew thought perhaps the Soup Kitchen visitors could benefit from their offer. The wheels began in motion when Matthew and his mom met with Dr. Shane Robbins, the Superintendent at Mt. Vernon Community School Corporation, and requested a school bus to transport Soup Kitchen visitors to the Ossip Optometry in Greenwood.

Boyle had asked visitors at the Soup Kitchen and the Hope House, which is a short-term homeless shelter that gives people training and resources to become employed and independent. A total of 34 people in need signed up that they would meet at the Soup Kitchen one Saturday morning and ride the bus to Ossip Optometry. “I realized the degree of the need when one person couldn’t see the paper well enough to know where to sign,” Matthew says.

showed. They boarded the Mt. Vernon Community School Corporation bus and the Ossip Optometry staff greeted them with welcome smiles. All were fit for glasses, and the Ossip Optometrist visited the Soup Kitchen in late September with their glasses to personalize their fit. Boyle has been volunteering with the Soup Kitchen for over a year. Throughout the summer and school breaks, he works approximately five-hour shifts from 2:30-7:30 p.m. His dedication recently earned him a board of Directors position at the Soup Kitchen. However, this position requires the person be 18 years of age, attend a monthly meeting and close down the kitchen once a month. Due to Matthew’s time commitments with school, baseball and college preparation, he had to decline. Should he have accepted, he would have been the youngest board member in the history of the Butler Soup Kitchen.

As a compromise, the Soup Kitchen created a Student Ambassador position for Matthew. He hopes to develop this position to create a sustainable youth legacy to leave behind. He plans to create a friendly competition between schools to raise donations for the Soup Kitchen and hopes to have a trivia night fundraiser to get more students involved with the organization. “Once I graduate Mt. Vernon High School, I still plan to be involved with the Soup Kitchen on my breaks and hope to be a board member after I graduate college,” he says.

CELEBRITY STYLE SALON & SPA BRINGS HOLLYWOOD’S GLITZ & GLAM TO FISHERS Writer / Christy Heitger-Ewing

Another plus to these treatments is that they’re not painful.

Rachel Rose, owner of Celebrity Style Salon and Spa, has been a beauty enthusiast ever since she was a little girl, doing her friends’ hair and makeup.

“Sometimes people think pain is beauty, but that’s not the case with Viora REACTION,” Rose says. “You feel a bit of warmth, like a deep tissue massage.”

“I’ve always loved making others feel good about themselves,” Rose says. “It makes my day to give someone the joy of feeling beautiful.”

In addition, the salon has Torc Body, a machine that bio-electrically stimulates muscles to tone and contour the thighs, butt, stomach, legs and arms.

Rose, who has been in the beauty industry for nine years, was thrilled in July to open her own full-service hair salon and spa that offers clients a unique experience with specialty services such as the Blowout Bar, Viora REACTION and Torc Body. Attracting clients from California, Chicago, even Dubai, Celebrity Style Salon & Spa brings Hollywood’s glitz and glamour to the Geist and Fishes area by offering hair extensions, trending color techniques, keratin treatments, gray blending, as well as air brush makeup application, which lasts 18 hours and does not smudge, smear or melt. The Norvell Sunless Spray Tan is also wildly popular as the tone can be customized to suit the client’s wishes. The Blowout Bar, a 40-minute, $40 treatment is a fun, fast, affordable experience that gives clients a lovely style lasting three to five days. “Guests love the Blowout Bar to prepare for a first date, a special event, or just to get pampered,” Rose says. “We also accommodate groups if you want to gather friends for a Blowout party.”

“It can be used to jumpstart a workout routine or to take your workout to the next level,” says Rose, noting that it’s great for losing inches around the waist and abdomen. “Most clients lose anywhere from one to three inches in their first session.” As the staff continues to search the marketplace for the newest technology and the finest hair and skin care regimens, Rose is committed to providing their clients with the highest degree of customer service. “I couldn’t be more excited about serving this community,” she says. For more information, visit celebritystylegeist.com or call 317-598-5002.

Another draw are the spa’s two cutting-edge, non-invasive, FDAapproved machines. Viora REACTION, used for skin tightening, circumferential reduction, and cellulite treatment, can be done anywhere on the body, including the face and jawline. “Skin tightening on the face is wild,” Rose says. “Clients notice an instant lift after the first session — so much so that I do one side of the face first, then hand them the mirror so they can see how lifted their eyes are as well as the nasal folds around the side of their mouth and nose.” 68 / GEIST MAGAZINE / NOVEMBER 2017 / atGeist.com
