The Reveille Yearbook Staff at Roncalli High School was recently notified that its 2016 yearbook, Supernova, was inducted into the Walsworth Publishing Gallery of Excellence. This recognition is given to yearbooks for distinguished coverage, innovative design and superior copy and photographs. Twelve students enrolled in yearbook class worked over 3,000 hours before, during and after school to complete the 176-page, all-color book. Editors Shayla Cabalan and Madison Sanneman (R â€˜16) attended a summer camp at Ball State University in 2015 where they developed the theme, Supernova, and designed the cover as well as the style of the pages. Students were responsible for photography in the book and design of each page.

PETSUITES PET RESORT & SPA 1032 N Emerson Ave. Greenwood, IN 46143 317-207-6317 petsuitesofamerica.com

PetSuites Pet Resort and Spa, the relaxing, luxurious, pet-friendly boarding, daycare and grooming facility with hundreds of accommodations for both canines and felines, is celebrating the opening of its new Greenwood facility in late January, with exclusive offers to customers during their Open House February 18th, 2017. “We are excited to be open in Greenwood,” shares PetSuites Pet Resort and Spa Regional Director Sherri Arnett. The Greenwood facility is be similar to its other locations, but overflowing with more luxuries than ever before. Furry friends get to experience comfortable boarding complete with full service grooming, We offer 4 hours of group play during boarding and up to 8 hours during the DayPlay option of our daycare, along with opportunities to meet and play with the other furry friends in the facility. Owners can choose from two different boarding options for their beloved canines: the two-room suites, a comfortable abode with plenty of room for any size dog, or a townhome or penthouse, the large facilities for those fur babies that prefer roomier accommodations.

Both boarding choices provide the dogs with clean rooms, comfortable bedding, a surplus of food, and numerous potty breaks. The townhouses and penthouses even include a TV tuned to Animal Planet that your dogs can watch at their leisure. Opportunities for playtime and activities are available for the energetic canines to enjoy. PetSuites holds numerous, spacious outdoor areas perfect for playing fetch one-on-one with the employees or participating in group activities with the other dogs. But don’t think that PetSuites forgot about those precious felines. Four-story cat condos featuring window views and media views featuring squirrels or aquarium fish fill up 36 cubic feet, providing plenty of space for your cats to frolic and play as they please. Also, available at select facilities are the 144 cubic feet cat villas, which have the capacity to accommodate up to 4 felines. PetSuites places primary emphasis on the cleaning and sanitation of all of their rooms, so the kitty sanctuaries are cleaned daily, and the litter boxes are emptied twice a day for prime kitty comfort. Dogs and cats are able to enjoy long term or short term stays, during which they can be bathed and get their nails trimmed perfectly. PetSpa treatments are also available by appointment without a pet being a guest.

Open House on February 18 th , from 12-4pm. Wellbehaved pets welcome for “Yappy Hour,” during which your dogs will receive yummy, “yappitizers”. 4 / GREENWOOD COMMUNITY MAGAZINE / FEBRUARY 2017 / atGreenwood.com

igh school seniors often struggle with difficult, life-changing questions, including whether or not to attend college, or what college major to study and what career to pursue. Many students enter fields such as science, business, or education. Others choose to become journalists, artists, or musicians. Greenwood Christian Academy senior Alexandra Phillips has struggled with these questions but has found her passion and her future: opera. With inspiration from her family, Alex has grown as a talented singer and performer and is now ready to face college and what lies beyond. Alex began attending Greenwood Christian Academy in seventh grade. After her first few days at GCA, she was amazed at how many opportunities the school had for her to share her voice with others. She studied voice with her music teacher and later took lessons at the University of Indianapolis. Getting involved in the school’s chapel band, drama department and talent show helped her understand how to work in a group to better herself and others around her. She learned, “Not everyone thinks like Alex,” not all people are brave enough to voice their opinions, and that she had to create deeper relationships with those around her to learn how to communicate well with them. After regularly working with a group

of about 10 people, Alex was eager to work with a larger company of students and to perform for larger audiences. She began performing in both school plays and talent shows, gaining experience along the way. It was not until her freshman year that her future became clear. With the house lights low and the spotlight on her, she began singing “Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again,” from “The Phantom of the Opera.” Singing on stage, she felt fulfilled, telling a story of sadness through her voice alone. She finished her song to animated applause and descended the stage. “I loved it so much, and it was more fun than any other type of singing I had done,” she explained. “I could be as dramatic as I wanted.” It was not until she found out that she had won the school talent show that she desired to be an opera singer. After her victories in two school talent shows, she went on to perform in GCA productions of “The Music Man,” “Mary Poppins” and “Cinderella,” growing a reputation for having a full voice and beautiful stage presence. She also participated in Solo and Ensemble competition for three years, a competition at DePauw University, a competition at the University of Indianapolis, and one recital per semester at the

University of Indianapolis. Her road to college was clear before her, but the path became rocky. Alex’s father, Dave Philips, was diagnosed with colon cancer Dec. 1, 2016. Since that day, he had a mass removed and returned to the hospital to receive assistance healing from the surgery. “He has been discouraged, but throughout the whole thing he has never been questioning of God or wavered in his faith,” Alex said. In addition, she said her father encouraged the family to pray more, no matter what they were doing. “Seeing that he can grow in his faith through this is very inspiring,” she said. Alex’s father was discharged from the hospital just in time to celebrate Christmas with his family. “The whole situation has made me appreciate everything so much more,” Alex said. “I finally understood what really mattered. What mattered was that he was home.” She was able to celebrate Christmas with her father and it taught

her about her life and how she should view it. “This whole situation has just forced me to focus on what matters on this earth, and it’s eye opening,” she said. “It’s been teaching me that I focus on the little things way too much. When you learn to focus on what really matters, which is Christ, second of all family, you start to realize all the small things begin to fall away and your vision becomes clear.” Alex hopes to major in opera at DePauw University beginning in the 2017 fall semester, but she is also looking at Ball State University, University of Indianapolis and Butler University. To obtain an audition at the universities’ music schools, she must submit three different singing samples in three different languages. She has to sing “Into the Night,” by Clara Edwards in English, “Deh Vieni Non Tardar,” by Mozart in Italian, and “Si Mes Vers Avaient Des Ailes” in French. She has already received an offer to audition at DePauw University. With family and friends praying for her, she can do whatever she puts her mind to. Remember the name Alex Philips because you may see it in your next playbill.

MR. INDIANA BASKETBALL LEADS POPULAR TEAM OF PACER GAME USHERS Writer / Matt Keating

Humes, an usher at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, is a popular presence at Indiana Pacer games. Fans love to chat with him. He’s well liked by his co-workers. Many Pacers players, Pacemates, vendors, and Pacers’ front-office personnel often stop to shake his hand, admire his rings, or listen to him tell a story. And Humes loves every minute of it. The Madison High School basketball legend, named Indiana’s Mr. Basketball in 1962 after taking Madison High School to the state

Final Four, knows how to work a crowd. He is one of a fleet of popular ushers who work Pacers games. “To me, being an usher is not work at all,” Humes said before a recent game against the Charlotte Hornets. “I love people, and I love watching the families and friends come in to have a great time. I’ve been working here as an usher for the last six years, and it’s been constant source of enjoyment for me.” When Humes was a player at Madison High School, he had 95 wins and one loss in regular-season games. He later went on to play for

TownePost.com / FEBRUARY 2017 / INDY METRO

the University of Evansville, where his team won NCAA College Division national championships in 1964 and 1965. He was also voted All-American. In 1991, he was inducted into the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame. “After college, I went on to get drafted by The Chicago Bulls, but I was the last player cut,” Humes said. “I later signed with the Indiana Pacers, but I was cut before the season began. I was hurt at first, but I wound up being all right with it later. I started teaching and coaching. I jumped right into it and have loved doing both.” He earned a master’s degree in counseling from Butler University.

“I coached at Howe High School and Shortridge High School in Indianapolis, and at the University of Indianapolis, and back at my old college, the University of Evansville,” Humes said. “After that, I also coached at Crispus Attucks High School. It was a great pleasure. I have coached for 42 years.” Humes added that his love for basketball and interacting with people in a positive way has never wavered. “Watching basketball is about as fun as it gets,” he stated. “I also like helping people here get to their seats, and help have a good time.

INDY METRO / FEBRUARY 2017 / TownePost.com

“THE TWO MAIN THINGS I LOVE ABOUT THIS JOB ARE THE PEOPLE AND THE EVENTS.” I'm always glad to see the other ushers doing the same thing, and I like catching up with them. Some of them have been here for a long time.” Peggy Surbey is one of them. She has been an usher since 1997. “The two main things I love about this job are the people and the events,” Surbey said. “I have been a long-time Pacers fan, and it’s great being able to go to the games for free. I like welcoming people and bring a positive part of their experience. It puts a smile on my face. I like discussing the games and the players. It’s a great place to be.” Lorris Brown, one of the ushers’ co-supervisors, said he has been an usher for 30 years. TownePost.com / FEBRUARY 2017 / INDY METRO

“I’ve been able to meet such a wide range of people,” Brown stated. “I worked at Market Square Arena, and it was a great place to gather and really get to know the players and fans. It was a real family atmosphere. It's the same here.” Dave Slipher, who worked as a teacher for 38 years, has worked as an usher since the 1960s. “I remember the night Bobby ‘Slick’ Leonard was named as head coach of the Pacers in the late ‘60s,” Slipher noted. “I have loved watching all the great coaches and players come and go through the years.”

He says he likes to watch Humes talk to kids about basketball.

“HE REALLY IS AN INSPIRATION” Humes tells kids to stay in school and never use lame excuses with their teachers. “I tell them to work hard and listen to their teachers,” Humes said. “I also love to tell them that it’s not how you start something important in life, it’s how you finish.”

Love is… Adoption WILL AND ADRIENNE PFAFFENBERGER’S PATH TO PARENTHOOD Writer / Kara Kavensky

Avon residents Will and Adrienne Pfaffenberger began their journey into parenthood through the traditional route and then weighed fertility options, eventually deciding on adoption as their best course of action to become parents.

“We thought it would be funny on the air to promote the Midwest fertility clinic and do a test on air,” says Will of his and Dave Smiley’s experiment. “The results came back that I was half of the problem and didn't know it.”

Both Will and Adrienne Pfaffenberger are Avon High School graduates. Adrienne is a pediatric physical therapist and Will has been part of the Smiley Morning Show on WZPL for the past six years. Both are outgoing people and, given Will’s public persona on the radio each weekday morning, being open about their fertility adventures seemed natural. Not that they had much of a choice.

Will continues sarcastically, “Luckily, I got to share my results live on air.” “We decided to be publicly open about our experience, as a lot of people go through similar issues,” says Adrienne, who started a blog documenting their journey.

INDY METRO / FEBRUARY 2017 / TownePost.com

The Pfaffenberger’s not only chose to adopt locally, but opted for an open adoption. Their process took two years. Their son Lincoln was born in 2015 and is now 17 months old.

“Fertility treatment is not a sure thing,” shares Will. “Considering the physical challenges versus the emotional ones, we opted for adoption.”

“The result is amazing,” says Adrienne. “The process of open adoption can present challenges, but we are blessed to have a wonderful relationship with the birth mother.”

“It wasn’t that important to me to personally experience pregnancy,” shares Adrienne. “I just wanted to be a mom.”

During the exploration of the potential rabbit hole of the fertility process, Adrienne and Will carefully weighed their options.

Toni Williams, fellow Smiley Morning show host, was the first of the show’s foursome to have a child and the rest of the morning crew would tease her about her adventures. Now that Dave and Will are dads, only Nikki Reed remains without children.

“When Will and Dave became dads, I was like ‘Ha! It’s not so funny now, is it?’” jokes Toni, whose son Lucas is a personality on their show thanks to Toni’s recordings of him. “It will be a sad day when we have to fire Lucas,” jokes Will. “Noah, Smiley’s son, is up and coming. Noah is now 2 and very verbal.” The Smiley Morning Show has been ranked number one all but one month over the past year. “With the show, we create a product that people engage with. We don’t spend a lot of time prepping, but we all come to the table with our own strengths and we know how to make something out of nothing,” notes Will. “We are fortunate to be supported by management that supports our creativity and allows us to be autonomous.” Will and Adrienne have been married for 10 years. Both are creative. In addition to being a physical therapist, Adrienne is also a professional photographer. Adrienne received her undergraduate degree from Ball State and earned her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from the University of Indianapolis. Will graduated from DePauw with degrees in communications, media, and theater, and even had an internship with The Bob and Tom Show. Tom Griswold paid Will directly to be an introductory producer. “It was a great experience. I got to work with their national guest booking agent, I wrote bits, went to writer’s meetings, and got to do characters,” shares Will, who is mainly known for the Joe Johnson memory bit. “I am grateful for that experience, as I was given the opportunity to be creative beyond an internship.”

Are you 65 or older and worried about your memory?

Will’s creativity is mainly expressed through comedy. He studied improv in Chicago, founded "Three Dollar Bill Comedy”, which wrote several shows for The Indy Fringe Festival. Will’s other passion is soccer, and his second fulltime job is that of Soccer Director at United Soccer Alliance of Indiana, one of the largest youth soccer clubs in the state.

Customers buy furniture for corporate offices, schools, restaurants, and residential homes. “People like to be involved with this mission,” says Palmer. “When they buy our products, they feel like they’ve become part of a rescue operation.” And folks are fond of the furniture as each piece is designed to meet customers’ needs and specifications. Clients also have the opportunity to review the furniture throughout the production process and request changes, as needed. Terry Powers, Vice President of USA Diving, says the first thing that attracted him to Purposeful Design was the organization’s mission and purpose.

“Not only are they teaching an art and a craft to men who don’t have that opportunity,” Powers says, “but they [are also] rebuilding lives and building quality furniture.” Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department Chief Troy Riggs says he’s found jail isn’t the answer to recidivism. “It’s experiments like this — launching Purposeful Design — that make a positive difference in our community,” Riggs says.

NEW COMIC CON MINISERIES FEATURES LOCAL ACTOR

Writer / Matt Keating

Indianapolis Native Vincent Ventresca, a 1984 Chatard High School graduate, has a role in a new web miniseries called “Kings of Con.” Vestresca plays Officer Billings in the series, which is billed as a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes shenanigans at fan conventions. “Kings of Con” has been heavily promoted by Comic Con HQ and has received high praise from television critics. “It’s the first new scripted series on the Comic Con streaming service,” Ventresca said. “It's already received a lot of attention. It’s very exciting. There are so many networks, channels and streaming services to choose from these days. It opens things wide up. It's creatively exploding.” Ventresca, who was born in Indianapolis, is the youngest of 11

children and grew up in the Broad Ripple area. He graduated from Indiana University with a double major in theater and psychology. Ventresca still has family members in Indianapolis but currently lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Dianne, an eighth-grade teacher, and his children, Benjamin and Renee. “It's really fun being a parent,” Ventresca said. “I love spending time with my family and getting involved in my son’s year-round soccer.” He also loves acting and writing. On the acting front, Ventresca starred as Darian Fawkes on the Sci-Fi Network’s “The Invisible Man,” a popular series that still has a strong following today. “I had an excellent time on that series,” he said. “It was work, but also very collaborative and a lot of fun. It can be a tough business, but you never know what will happen.” James Roday, star of the long-running USA comedy-mystery series

TownePost.com / FEBRUARY 2017 / INDY METRO

“Psych,” told Ventresca he was ready to give up acting and screen writing and move back home to Texas, when he landed the lead role in “Psych,” which lasted eight seasons. “I love the excitement of knowing you just have to hang in there and work toward what you want to do,” Ventresca said. “You may have to wait, but it’s worth the hard work and auditions.” Ventresca is still recognized for his role as Fun Bobby, who dated Courtney Cox’s Monica Geller, on the long-running hit series “Friends.” He also was a regular on ABC’s “Complete Savages” and the NBC sitcom “Boston Common.” Over the last several years, Ventresca has built up a remarkable resume. He guest starred recently on the television series “Rizoli & Isles,” “Nashville,” and “Wicked City.” He has also guest starred on “CSI,” “CSI: New York,” “Psych,” “Monk,” “Nikita,” “Hot in Cleveland,” “The Mentalist,” “Without a Trace,” “In Plain Sight,” “CSI: Miami,” “Las Vegas,” “Cold Case,” “Diagnosis Murder,” “Empty Nest,” and “The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.” He has also been in several movies, including “Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion,” “Saving Private Ryan,” “The Thin Pink Line,” “Can’t Stop Dancing,” “The Learning Curve,” “Purgatory Flats,” “Madison,” “Answers to Nothing,” and ”Break Point.” He is in another film, “Tao of Surfing,” which is in post production. “I've been lucky to work as an actor, and I also love to write,” Ventresca said. “I’ve read so many scripts that it made me want to try to figure out how to tell a story.” Ventresca wrote a script for a television pilot called “Adults,” which he says is a “coming of middle age” story. He had a reading of the script with several friends, including Nathan Fillion, star of the ABC television series, “Castle,” which ran for eight seasons on ABC. “We moved the chairs around the house and had a big table reading of the script,” Ventresca said. “It went very well. I was able to get a lot of great feedback. There is an audience out there for stories about middle age people and their struggles and positive experiences.” In 2009, Ventresca shot a pilot, “Stuck,” that he co-wrote, coproduced, and co-starred in with Eric Palladino. Maura Tierney, Eric McCormick and Dean Cain were also in it. He enjoyed the writing experience so much he is also working on other scripts. “One of the things I love about writing is the freedom,” Ventresca said. “It’s just you. There is no one telling you what to do. You aren't being directed. Acting is a lot of fun and very rewarding, but

writing is also creatively exciting. I also like the power of not asking for permission that writing allows, and acting doesn’t. “With acting, you have to ask for permission by auditioning. And then you get the part or you don't. With writing, you can just wake up and do it. It’s just you.” Ventresca noted that people are sometimes critical of actors becoming writers. “A writer I love, Thomas Merton, talked a lot about how you have to realize what you want to say with your life. It’s the realization that you may write something that no one will ever see, but you still have to write it. It actually frees you up to write what you want to. You have to forget the results and just do it.” Merton believed writers use their imaginations as God’s way of talking to us. Merton was an American Catholic writer and mystic. A Trappist monk of the Abbey of Gethsemani, Kentucky, he was a poet, social activist, and student of comparative religion. “As I’ve grown older, I’ve been paying more attention to not worrying about the end result, and just write,” Ventresca said. “I think the death of my mother and my upbringing in Catholic schools has helped me contemplate more about what is important. I get very busy with family, auditions, and writing, but it's important to find quiet time to work on things you are passionate about.”

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT RAMS Investing

869 W Smith Valley Rd. Greenwood, IN 46142 317-883-RAMS (7267) ramsinvesting.com

TRANSFORMING LIFE’S CHALLENGES INTO SUCCESS Writer / Suzanne Huntzinger

A loved one passes away, must be moved to assisted living or nursing home, divorce or job loss - all of these curveballs in life can leave families in a pinch. But the Royer Brothers at RAMS Investing have a way of straightening out those curveballs and turning them into success. Jason and Dustin Royer started RAMS Investing after the financial crisis of 2008, to offer a solution not only for the clients in need, but for investors who were looking for a better and more secure way to invest their money. Since then, RAMS Investing has transformed hundreds of distressed homes into turnkey properties ready for the next owners. They have also earned their investors over $575,000 in returns on their money. These earnings are secured with real estate, so it is a much safer investment than a stock that could disappear. The Royer brothers have grown their business significantly. They have been named to the Inc. 5000 for the past two consecutive years as one of the 5,000 fastest

growing private companies nationwide. They’ve turned their business into a tremendous success. Although the market has stabilized and housing inventory is tighter since they first opened the business, RAMS Investing has figured out the secret to continued growth. Of course, investing in properties is the key to making the business profitable. But it’s not just about investing in the properties. The company invests in much more. The Royer Brothers invest in their clients and work hard to help them out of a difficult situation. “We strive to be honest and fair about the estimates. We want to earn their trust. It’s not successful for us unless we turn their situation around and make it successful for them,” Jason explains. One client said, “Knowing who to turn to when circumstances required was a great blessing to me and my husband and ultimately to his Mom, Step-Dad, and Sister. We’re so glad it was an opportunity that also worked for RAMS and in turn the buyers who ended up with a lovely home. RAMS did a great job.” RAMS is also invested in the community.

The brothers started a real estate investment club where they teach and educate the local investor community. The group meets monthly and discusses topics about real estate and growing your business. “A lot of members are new to the business. We want to help them avoid some of the typical pitfalls,” Jason says. Students at Greenwood High School will also get the chance to hear the Royer’s expert advice. The brothers plan to donate their time and speak at the school to tell the students what it takes to build a career. Dustin says, “I started in aviation. Real estate and investing was totally new to me. I want them to see how sometimes in life, you make transitions, but you can always build and grow and become successful.” They plan to speak at other Johnson County Schools to offer real world advice that may not get taught in typical school curriculum. The south side community has also benefitted from the Humble Hands Charity organization (humblehandsinc.com) started by Jason’s wife and a friend. The store, filled with all the usable items abandoned in the

homes rehabbed by RAMS and donated items has helped to provide countless families in need with clothing, furniture, appliances and much more. Investing in the industry is another commitment the brothers have made to grow RAMS. In December, the Royers

traveled to Las Vegas to speak at Real Estate Ignite, the largest real estate convention in the nation. “We were on a panel, and we spoke to about 4,000 guests about lifestyle by design. We shared our insight about how we design our careers in a way that creates balance and fits our lifestyle,” Jason says.

Lifestyle by design isn’t just about the brothers’ lifestyles. The Royers apply it to the business as well. They run the business with key staff in the office, but they’re still able to expand to do projects around the city, not just in Greenwood. They still devote the time to invest in their clients and share their passion with the community and the industry nationwide. Now when life’s curveballs happen, there is no need to put off handling them. If you are or someone you know is invested in a property and you need a quick solution to update the house and sell it, reach out to the Royers at RAMS Investing. Their vast resources of investors, wholesalers and their real estate brokerage, Red Oak Real Estate Group offers a wide range of possibilities for your situation. Visit their website, www.ramsinvesting.com, for more information on how they can help. Be sure to browse the before and after photos of their projects and see the amazing transformations they’ve created. Suzanne Huntzinger has a journalism degree from IU and was a Center Grove High School graduate.

COMMUNITY CENTER GETS MAJOR FACELIFT Writer / Michelle Kaufman

every single floor, every single wall, every single ceiling.”

The Greenwood Community Center hadn’t seen an upgrade in 23 years. When Greenwood Parks Director Rob Taggart took the position three years ago, he made renovating the community center one of his goals.

While the exterior remains the same, the inside of the building was gutted. Vibrant paint colors are now on every wall. Kid City is a two-story activity zone includes places for art, a play grocery store, music area and more. Luckey Climber, a climbing structure for kids, stretches over both sides of the main staircase. The fitness room was also expanded and modernized, and meeting rooms were upgraded and can host everything from exercise classes to homeowners association meetings to wedding receptions.

That goal recently became a reality as a $2.8 million renovation project, which began in April, 2016, was finally completed. The renovated design and new features were unveiled at a grand reopening January 14. Taggart said the decision to shut down the Community Center in April was hard because it’s not his, but the community’s. “Once it got started, we knew what the final outcome was going to be and it really got exciting,” Taggart said. “Everything got renovated …

“I think people are going to realize the flexibility of this space and they’re going to come to us for events as well,” Taggart said. “We’re still going to have our normal Easter events and our Valentine’s dance and our Halloween events, but I think we might be able to do those in kind of a different way now. “They’ll be able to better interact with the building as opposed to what they were before.”

28 / GREENWOOD COMMUNITY MAGAZINE / FEBRUARY 2017 / atGreenwood.com

Taggart looks forward to the surprise on people’s faces when they visit the renovated Community Center. Day passes, punch cards and memberships are available for both Kid City and the gym. “It’s absolutely a priceless reaction,” he exclaimed. “There’s a lot of staff in this, and it’s a lot of listening to what the public needed, and it’s a lot of what we recognized as some deficiencies in the city that we put in this building. We’re really excited to see how people react to it.”
