school for their birthdays, but it became a hassle.

For nearly 30 years, Debbie VanVolkenburgh has been baking and delivering cakes.

When her oldest son moved to California, she was surprised to learn that nobody there delivered cakes.

VanVolkenburgh started A Piece of Cake in 1988. As her kids grew up, she made cakes at home and would bring them to her children’s

“I couldn’t quite figure that out. It seemed like a no brainer to me,” she says. “There

surely was a lot of people that their kids lived here, and they would like for them to have a cake. I just thought along those lines for a little bit and then taking cupcakes to school for my younger kids, I thought, ‘man, if someone would do that for me for $25, I would gladly pay it.’” While still working at a full-time job,

lot of things that we do come from customer requests. We work on it and experiment a little bit.”

“I would get off work, go by the cake shop, bake at night, bake on weekends. A lastminute thing was not a possibility because there was no one there that could do that,”

One of the most popular items at the bakery is “cake trash” - cutoff from the middle of the cake so that the cake can lay straight. It used to be thrown away, until an employee’s daughter mentioned buying the hump and icing at another bakery. A Piece of Cake sells out of their “cake trash” every day.

VanVolkenburgh says.

After working two jobs for a decade, VanVolkenburgh had a choice: give up the cake shop, or give up working anywhere else. She kept her business, which has moved locations over the years but is currently right next to Walker Eggs in Greenwood, where it has been since 2003.

A Piece of Cake offers several flavors of cake, from chocolate and yellow to chocolate almond raspberry and Italian cream can also come with fillings. Pies and tarts are also available, and pumpkin rolls are made in the fall. Everything is baked fresh, and gluten free options are available. “When I started out, I had recipes that I liked and we expanded from there,” she says. “A

VanVolkenburgh often works 12-hour days and does everything from decorating cakes to consulting with brides to doing the dishes. She still enjoys what she does and plans to continue her business, along with her seven other employees. “If I enjoy what I do, I’ll just keep on doing it,” she says. “We just like taking care of people, and I think we have the nicest customers in the county.” Tracy Curd has worked at A Piece of Cake for almost a decade. She takes all orders for the bakery and helps customers decide on cake designs.

Curd’s favorite is white cake with raspberry filling, but she doesn’t have a favorite design. “Cakes are very individual, just like people,” Curd says. “They want cakes to match what they’re doing and their personality. It’s a fun business too, because most people that are ordering a cake, it’s for a fun occasion. It’s always nice on weekends to see all the beautiful cakes go out. It’s a lot of hard work on everyone’s part from start to finish, but it’s teamwork.” VanVolkenburgh’s advice to those aspiring to open a bakery is to have a strong support system at home and work because starting a business is hard. “It takes a lot of hours that you work for free,” she says. “If you don’t really love doing it, you have no business thinking that you want do this. You really have to have a passion for it. It’s not something you’re going to get rich doing.” A Piece of Cake is located at 1275 W Main St Greenwood, IN 46142.

made me feel significant.”

For the better part of his childhood, Jeremy Miller struggled with self-doubt after suffering years of abuse and depression that brought him to the precipice of suicide. To escape the dark world he was trapped in, he began drinking and experimenting with drugs. The highs, however, were temporary and he recognized that he needed to find a better way to cope.

Miller’s difficult childhood forced him to mature at a faster rate than his peers. “If you’re going to become successful, you He was already thinking about career aspirations by the time he was 12 years old. need to fail because that’s how you learn and become self-aware,” he says. “I knew that whatever I did had to entail Self-awareness led Miller to identify his serving people in some way,” says Miller, core strengths and abilities.

As a 16-year-old, he worked doesn’t help others because the way at Lucas Oil Stadium and Chick-Fil-A to

“I started doing the exact opposite of what every depressed person feels like doing,” says Miller, 18. “I dove into the world of serving — serving my school, church, nonprofit organizations. Helping others

economics works is you get paid when the other person benefits,” Miller says. At age 17, Miller did something many would never consider. He offered to work for free. Being so young, he had zero recognition, experience or authority, so he approached various business owners with brazen honesty. “I said, ‘I’m trying to start my career early and build my portfolio by getting some experience,’” Miller recalls. “I asked them to give me 10 percent of their trust and I’d earn the other 90 percent.” Ultimately, the free services paid off. Not only did he gain valuable work experience, but many of the companies offered Miller full-time gigs after graduation, which served to validate him. But he had no intention of taking any of those jobs because he wanted to be his own boss. He continued to grow his brand and build his skill set. Then, in August 2016, Miller launched his marketing agency called Inspired Blue Media. Now he has a team of social media marketers, working with more than 20 different companies. One of the reasons he’s achieved success at such a young age is because every single day, every single hour, he was making

intentional choices. “I wasn’t going home and playing videogames for six hours after school,” Miller says. “I was reading about how successful people lived.” Throughout high school, numerous people suggested to Miller that he dial back his workload in order to relax and enjoy his youth. A greater number of people, however, suggested that his drive, authenticity and passion to help others saved them — in some cases, literally. “There was a time in my life when I had negative thoughts running through my head on an hourly basis,” Miller says. That’s why he’s open and honest about his suicidal past and tells his friends to call him if they’re ever in trouble. And they have. He’s had people call him in the middle of the night with pills in their hands.

After a mission trip to Haiti last year, however, his faith grew exponentially. “In America, we whine when we have a bad Wi-Fi connection. In Haiti, you can’t find a reason to complain,” Miller says. A 2017 graduate of Greenwood Christian Academy, Miller says earning high marks didn’t come naturally but self-learning did. In class, rather than studying the subject at hand, he often read blog posts about social media marketing and business. “I wanted to teach myself more about what interested me,” says Miller, who is relishing his newfound freedom, post-graduation. “When I was in high school, I had to wait until 3:15 to do what I loved.” Scheduling back-to-back meetings and phone calls from 3:15 on, Miller was highly productive. Now he’s relishing some muchneeded balance in his life.

“To me, there’s no greater fulfillment than to be able to inspire, empower and help people,” Miller says.

Though he’s only a teen, he’s already thinking long-term, hoping to leave a legacy so strong and powerful that it inspires others to do the same.

Though Miller considered himself a Christian all his life, he says that for a long time, he mostly went through the motions.

“It becomes a ripple effect,” Miller says. “Generation after generation, we can all help empower the next.”

BOILERMAKERS LOOK TO BOUNCE BACK NEW PURDUE HEAD FOOTBALL COACH JEFF BROHM TALKS UPCOMING SEASON Writer / Matt Roberts Photography provided by Purdue University Athletics

Over the last 10 seasons, Purdue football has won 35 games and made two bowl appearances (both losses). In the last four years, the team has scraped together an average of two victories. Maybe most disturbing, Purdue hasn’t beaten arch-rival Indiana since 2012. Several pre-season polls anticipate more of the same, projecting only a couple of wins for the Boilermakers in 2017.

New Purdue head coach Jeff Brohm isn’t promising any miracles, but optimism is again stirring in West Lafayette.

Brohm played college football at Louisville, where he was a three-year starter at quarterback. After graduation, he spent seven seasons in the NFL with stints at Cleveland, “We want to field a team that’s competitive Denver, Tampa, San Francisco, Washington and fights to win every game,” Brohm says. and San Diego. When his playing days “Purdue is a place with great academics, ended, Brohm served as an assistant coach and West Lafayette is a great college town. at Louisville, Florida Atlantic, Illinois, UAB People are starving for success, and they and Western Kentucky before his selection as want to see the football program step up and head coach at Western. do well. Brohm’s teams won 30 games over three seasons at WKU, including a pair of bowl “We need to deliver.” victories. His 2016 team led the nation in INDY METRO / AUGUST 2017 / TownePost.com

scoring at over 45 points per game while Purdue was averaging under 25. The “Cradle of Quarterbacks” may see a return to lofty scoring levels at some point, but for now the coach sees his defense as being a bit ahead of the offense. “Our running backs and tight ends are probably going to be our strengths on offense,” he says. “We have to continue to get better on the offensive line and build some depth. At quarterback, we must be more consistent.

SEASON TICKETS START AT JUST

“I’m probably a little more optimistic on defense. But once we get past the first team, we’re not where I’d like to be depth-wise.” Brohm has been busily recruiting freshmen, but he’s also added immediate help with some graduate transfers. Josh Okonye is a versatile defensive back from Wake Forest, and wide receiver Corey Holmes will have two seasons of eligibility after graduating from Notre Dame. Despite the recent seasons of futility, Brohm believes Purdue can attract high-level student-athletes. “We have a lot to offer at Purdue,” he says. “The academic reputation, the Big Ten conference and the opportunity to play against the best teams in the country. And, to be honest, playing time. We don’t have the depth we’d like, so a guy can come in and be a difference-maker. “I think we’re making strides,” he adds. “It’s just going to be a matter of getting out there and competing, keeping guys healthy, getting a little momentum and maybe winning a game we’re not supposed to.”

Indiana University Head Football Coach Tom Allen didn’t come to his job in the usual way. He joined the IU staff in 2016 as defensive coordinator after serving in the same role at South Florida. Within days of the end of the 2016 season - and only weeks before IU was to appear in the Foster Farms Bowl - he was selected to replace Kevin Wilson. “When you take a job you’re not usually trying to get ready for a bowl game in the next month,” Tom Allen says. “Even though there was a lot of uncertainty, guys locked arms and stepped up.”

The Indiana native not only had to coach his team through a bowl game, but try to hold on to the recruits who had already committed to IU and assemble a staff of assistant coaches. “Right after that, recruiting became the focus, and during the same time, we were putting together a staff,” Allen says. “It really did (turn out well). I think it helped that I was here before. We only lost one player who had committed. You never know how that’s going to work out.” The IU defense made huge strides in 2016, reducing the number of points yielded per game by over 27 percent. Allen believes his defense still has room to improve.

“We really did have dramatic improvement (last year), but I want to be a top 25 defense this year,” he says. “We just have to build on that momentum. Red zone defense is an area we have to focus on. We forced field goals, but we didn’t block many, and last year we didn’t finish (games) as well as I’d like to.” The coach was heavily involved in recruiting last year, but one newcomer is especially familiar. Freshman linebacker Thomas Allen from Tampa Plant High School signed with his father’s team last summer. The younger Allen reportedly received offers from Rutgers, South Florida and other Division I schools, and was listed in the top 100 linebackers nationally. Coach Allen admits that it’s sometimes a struggle not to blur the lines between coach and father. “It can be hard to separate,” he says. “I mean, he’s still your son, and you find your eyes going to him. So, that’s something you just have to focus on.” Both Allens will be trying to raise the bar for Indiana University football in 2017. The program has frequently slipped into the shadow cast by men’s basketball, but Coach Allen means to change that. “Our objective is to contend for a Big Ten championship,” he says. “We don’t have a strong history. We haven’t won a bowl game since before our players were born. We have to start winning them.” TownePost.com / AUGUST 2017 / INDY METRO

DAUGHTER RUNS FREE TO BREATHE 5K IN SUPPORT OF HER FATHER AND LUNG CANCER RESEARCH

Writer / Christy Heitger-Ewing

Tom Bowers had always been an active, healthy guy, so he was frustrated last fall when he developed a cough he couldn’t shake. Suspecting pneumonia, he went to the doctor, only to learn that there was a spot on one of his lungs. He was prescribed an antibiotic and sent on his way. A month later, a CT scan revealed the spot was still there. Tom’s daughter, Kathy Oneacre of Lawrence, was visiting her parents near Cincinnati, Ohio, over the Thanksgiving

holiday. While at a Christmas tree farm searching for just the right Fraser Fir, Kathy’s mom dropped a bomb on her. “Your dad’s getting a PET scan tomorrow because a CT scan showed something that could be cancer,” she said. Being a principal medical writer with iVentiv Health Clinical, Kathy knew how to read the CT report. The results made her stomach churn. “It was clear that the PET scan was for confirmation,” Kathy says. “Dad had cancer. TownePost.com / AUGUST 2017 / INDY METRO

Still, I was optimistic, thinking that since it was only in one lobe, he could have the lower lobe removed and carry on with his life.” But then doctors found another spot on the opposite rib, which they biopsied, and just before Christmas Tom was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. It was shocking because though he had once been a smoker, he had quit 35 years ago. Starting in January, Tom had three rounds of chemo, a CT scan, another round of chemo and a PET scan. Both showed that

the tumor had shrunk. After a three-week break, he endured another series of chemo treatments, and a CT scan detected that the tumor was even smaller. He’s now on a three-month break and will resume chemotherapy in September, which happens to be the same month as the 5th Annual Indianapolis Free to Breathe Run/ Walk 5K. Following her dad’s diagnosis, Kathy, a lifetime runner, did a search to see if there were any races near her that supported lung cancer research. She found one in Fort Harrison State Park on September 24 and sent an email to the event coordinator letting her know that she was interested in volunteering. “I thought maybe I could help out at the water station or something,” says Kathy, who promptly received a response to her email, asking if she would be willing to chair the entire event.

Although she felt a little overwhelmed and underprepared, she agreed because she was passionate about doing something to honor her father and others who suffer from lung cancer. She immediately began brainstorming ways to increase registration. One way she thought she might draw more runners is by adding timing of the 5K for those who want it. She also plans to invite an oncologist to speak to the crowd and hold a one-mile “kids dash” for aspiring younger athletes.

Because this marks the event’s 5-year anniversary, Kathy hopes to see registration at or above 500. She knows the camaraderie that exists in the running community because she’s been a part of that community for so long. Years ago, she and her dad ran together in road races in Indiana, Ohio and Tennessee (where her parents once lived). “We used to do a lot of Turkey Trots and Jingle Bell Runs — things like that,” Kathy says. “We’re a sports family.” Kathy and her husband, Todd, their daughters Savannah (21) and Katie (18), and son Colm (12) are all super active, taking part in soccer and gymnastics mostly, though she says her youngest is the real runner in the family. Last year Colm ran Indy’s Mini Marathon in an impressive 1:43. On September 24, Tom plans to walk the Free to Breathe 5K and Savannah will travel home from college to walk beside her grandfather, who, at 77, has yet to slow down.

DOWN BUT NOT OUT Writer / Christy Heitger-Ewing

Erika Mulroney had just finished facilitating a class at her church on the evening of June 2, 2016, when she turned down a back hallway of the church, blacked out, and collapsed, face-first, on the floor. Because of the layout of the building, her body was out of the line of sight for most anyone who happened by. Thankfully, a security guard (a person there to lock up) used the restroom near that hallway. When he saw Erika, he immediately rushed to her side, checked for a pulse and panicked. Unable to detect a heartbeat, he ran to find help. “Come quick!” he gasped. “I think Erika may be gone!” “What do you mean gone?” someone asked. “I found her passed out and she’s not breathing!” he said. “I’m not sure if she’s alive.” As it turned out, several of the members who had just taken the evening class had not yet left the building. Two of them were nurses and one was a firefighter. They, along with Erika’s husband, Kirk, raced to perform CPR and administered the AED (Automated External Defibrillator). “They shocked me with the AED equipment once prior to the fire department arriving and again right after they got there,” says Erika, 36. “I was told that several times I flatlined and they lost me — once in the church and again in the ambulance. But both times they got me back.” Ultimately, Erika was transferred to St. Francis Hospital for care where physicians cooled her body to 93 degrees in an effort to preserve her organs and brain for a period of time before bringing her back to normal temperature. Thankfully, Erika handled that

procedure well and didn’t sustain any seizures. She was in ICU and on a respirator for 10 days. On day 17, she had an implantable cardioverter defibrillator put in, and on day 19, she was released to go home. “The astounding thing is that I have minimal, if any, residual damage to my mind,” Erika says. “I have a few memory issues and that frustrates me because I used to be great with people’s names and phone numbers. But I can’t complain. For all intents and purposes, I’m whole and healed.” Her family learned, through results from a blood draw, that Erika had suffered sudden cardiac arrest caused by a small microvascular clot. Beyond that, they really have no answers as to why this incident occurred. All she knows for certain is how grateful she is to be alive, to still be a wife to Kirk and a mother to their 5-year-old son, Brooks. Though he is too young to really understand what happened to his mom a year ago, whenever they drive by St. Francis, he points to the building and says, “That’s Mama’s hospital!” With no heart disease in the family, it really does seem a fluke that Erika would suffer cardiac arrest. Though she, herself, has no way of knowing how long she was unconscious, church surveillance tapes reveal that Mulroney was passed out for 5-7 minutes before anyone noticed her. Her friends, husband and emergency workers then proceeded to work on her for 20 minutes before being loaded in the ambulance. So, the fact that she didn’t suffer brain damage is nothing short of a miracle. “We definitely feel like my survival was a miracle,” Erika says. “God saved my life, and I’m really glad to be here. To say that I am lucky to have survived is an understatement. The fact that I suffered very few mental and physical disabilities after the event is astonishing. I definitely think I am the luckiest Hoosier alive!”

M A R T H A S T E WA R T LEFT HER MARK ON MY GARDEN Writer / Carrie Petty

Dimes, Healthy Baby Campaign.

I stoop impatiently by the book-signing table. Waiting my turn. Loaded-down with ever possible book of ‘hers’ I owned. It felt surreal. I had devoured every magazine Martha Stewart had ever published, and now I was going to meet her! This was so very long ago, but it feels like yesterday, that a woman from Connecticut would instill a deep love in me for everything gardening and entertaining.

She said, “Yes!” We raised well over a $125,000 that year for babies in Indiana. I was the Managing Editor for Indianapolis Woman Magazine, we were the title sponsors, and this was my introduction into philanthropy. I was eight months pregnant with Reily, our first, a working Mom and Chris and I were building our first home. Life was busy, and I didn't even have a garden yet.

After that day in Louisville, Kentucky at her lecture and book signing, I contacted her people in New York to ask if Martha would come to Indianapolis and do a fundraiser luncheon for the March of

My first garden had not even been designed, but our new home in the Geist area would soon be my green thumb’s haven. Martha Stewart can be blamed for my poorly manicured hands and muddy boots. But INDY METRO / AUGUST 2017 / TownePost.com

through her love of growing things grew my love of sharing ideas with you all, and helping people, ‘Grow a Beautiful Life!’ August is a great gardening month in Indiana. Our farmer’s markets are full, our days are long and we still have summer nights for entertaining outdoors. Martha Stewart’s book, Entertaining with Martha, is a great reference book for setting a beautiful table outdoors and using what you have growing in the garden for a tremendous dinner party! Hosting a well-put together dinner party is something everyone should do once. Not only did Martha’s books teach me the art of growing fine herbs, making

homemade potpourri and harvesting honey from local bees, she reaffirmed my deep love and the importance of homemaking and family traditions. Sometimes these things feel like a lost art, but with the reemergence of ‘farm to table’ trends, we Americans are gathering together like never before. “I hope to show that there are many ways of entertaining and that each ultimately depends not on pomp or show or elaborate teachings, but on thought, effort, and caring-much like friendship itself.” Martha Stewart

MUSIC TO REMODELING OUR EARS. ESSENTIALS KITCHEN AND BATH SEMINAR

I, like Martha, believe growing food and sharing it around the family table is a part good living. Sharing our homes with friends, a good meal, freshly baked homemade bread…yes, it is an effort. But oh so worth it! In August my Basil is rampant, a pasta dish with homemade Pesto may be a good call. Or grilling organically raised chicken breast on the grill and topping with homemade herb butter is a perfect accompaniment to a farm fresh salad with Indiana tomatoes. There are tons of Parsley to harvest for topping any dish, and the thyme is flowering now and looks lovely in a fresh fish dish. This is not only the month for our Indiana State Fair participants to show off their homespun magic, but it is a good month for us to gather together and give some serious thanks for this great State of ours. Indiana is abundantly producing some of the best produce in the Nation, get out there and enjoy it!

EVERYBODY DANCE NOW GREENWOOD RESIDENT CREATES DANCE CLASS FOR CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS Writer / Michelle Kaufman Photographer / Brian Brosmer

Greenwood resident Mackenzie Wissler is combining two of her passions to create a dance class, Everybody Dance Now, designed specifically for children with special needs. The IUPUI elementary-special education major has been dancing for 18 years, an activity that has given her a feeling of unconditional happiness. She believes kids of all abilities should be able to feel that as well, so she began working on the idea for the class three years ago along with Le Rose Dance Academy owner Amanda Nixon. Wissler is the first student that Le Rose has collaborated with on a new class, which kicked off in July and will continue throughout the 2017-18 season. Wissler built the curriculum with help from Nixon. “She’s done a lot of research and work on [the class]. I’m just super proud of her,” Nixon says. “You get so attached to the kids throughout the years and then they graduate from high school, so to see them come back and want to teach what they love and their passion to a younger generation of kids, it really completes the circle.” As the class developed, Wissler only got more excited when she saw how much potential her class could have. Wissler hand-picked her staff to help lead the class. “I definitely think that kids of all abilities deserve to have every opportunity, but I think that they do need to be with people who have that extra love and that extra support, Wissler says. “It’s definitely

going to be a one-on-one, nurturing environment. We want [the kids] to succeed.” Wissler has been working with the special needs community since she was in sixth grade. She has participated in Best Buddies and volunteered with Special Olympics. When she graduated high school, a moment solidified her career choice. “A peer that I had been in classes with since sixth grade, who had special needs, when he graduated and got his diploma the whole gym stood up and gave him a standing ovation,” she says. “I stood up and I had tears in my eyes. I knew that from that day on, I wanted to be a part of a hundred other graduations.” Everybody Dance Now will give kids the chance to be creative and work on skills such as social interaction, memorization and flexibility. Wissler’s major has helped her with lesson planning for her class, 26 / GREENWOOD COMMUNITY MAGAZINE / AUGUST 2017 / atGreenwood.com

as well as coming up with a specific and repetitive curriculum. Her student teaching experiences have also taught her how to individualize and work with kids one-on-one. “My love for dance and my love for teaching, and especially working with kids of all abilities, it’s a blessing,” Wissler says. “That’s honestly all I can say. It is the biggest blessing, and I am so blessed to be able to put my favorite things in the whole world together, and I really hope it takes off. It’s a dream come true.” Everybody Dance Now will be held on Saturdays at Le Rose Dance Academy, 717 Commerce Dr, Franklin, IN 46131. The class runs August to June. Class for ages 3 through 8 will be from 10-10:45 a.m, and 11-11:45 a.m. for ages 9 and older. The class costs $35 per month. For more information, contact Le Rose at 317-738-2188. The dancers will perform at community events and a recital.

Bad Blood

Middle-Aged Pro Wrestling Duo Dominates the Ring

Larry Jones and Hank Parker take the ring as Thar and Hammer. 28 / GREENWOOD COMMUNITY MAGAZINE / AUGUST 2017 / atGreenwood.com

Through the years, though, Jones took on other commitments like his full-time job as a security police officer with a railroad company. He also made room for time in the spotlight. Thanks to his aunt’s connections with Channel 4, where she was employed, Jones was occasionally asked to don full makeup and costume and get on stage as an extra for one of Channel 4’s shows. It was his first taste of the entertainment industry. Eventually, movie producers approached Jones asking him to appear in major movies like Batman the Dark Knight Rises, Hell Walks the Earth and other bone chilling titles. But Jones’s big break came earlier this year when he was approached by Mighty Mike Reid, CPWA owner and wrestling icon. Reid was looking for new talent and though Jones had no professional wrestling experience, his physique and intimidating persona made him the perfect candidate. Reid knew Jones did some power lifting and suggested he start training and try it out.

Writer / Suzanne Huntzinger Photographer / Brian Brosmer

Fans know them as Thar and Hammer of the Pro Tag Team Wrestling Duo Bad Blood. Their families and friends know them as Larry Jones and Hank Parker. Jones and Parker just entered the Pro Tag Team Wrestling arena officially in March of 2017 as part of Indiana Championship Wrestling (ICW) and the Christian Pro Wrestlers Association (CPWA). They’ve already acquired an incredible fan base and following. Jones and Parker were both fans of pro wrestling, but both had full-time jobs and family commitments. At ages 53 and 51 respectively, most wouldn’t have predicted this to be the perfect time for the two tough guys to start training to enter the ring. But they jumped at the chance. Jones says his dad was friends with Dick the Bruiser and would take him to see Bruiser’s shows from time to time. He was an instant fan and never lost his interest in wrestling. Jones even spent some time training with Bruiser.

Needing to find a pro wrestling partner quickly, Jones instantly thought of his buddy from the gym, Hank Parker. The two were friends, and they worked out together often at the gym. Jones also knew Parker occasionally did Strong Man events like tractor pulls and truck pulls. Parker too had the perfect physique and would play the part perfectly. Like Jones, Parker had experience in the entertainment industry. His moment on stage was as a Roman Guard in Madonna’s Super Bowl halftime show in 2012 in Indianapolis. As much as Parker seemed like a perfect partner, Jones was unsure if Parker would have time to juggle wrestling commitments along with his full time job as a Data Integration Analyst supporting more than 40 hospitals. “I asked Hank if he would be interested, and he said right away he was in,” Jones says. The pair quickly created their Bad Blood image, complete with spiked gloves, war paint and the ideal entrance theme song, “Bad to the Bone” by George Thorogood. Bad Blood got down to business and started training in February for their first official matchup in March. Since then, the duo has fought in more than

atGreenwood.com / AUGUST 2017 / GREENWOOD COMMUNITY MAGAZINE / 29

20 matches and earned some titles. Parker holds ICW’s Heavyweight Champion title and Jones is the Hardcore Champion, a master of battle with weapons like ladders, signs, hub caps and even tables. Together, Bad Blood has won 95 percent of their matches. Holding wrestling championship titles and winning matches is remarkable enough,

but Jones and Parker do it all while battling wrestlers half their age. Of course, both men boast muscular body builds to begin with. Even with their formidable physiques, some opponents don’t expect the two to do a throw or other bold moves. “You have to have a certain number of training hours in before you get in the ring,” Jones says. “On top of that, every opponent

expects you to know how to take a throw properly, how to land right. You will get hurt, but with the proper training, you’ll minimize injuries. Most of all, you must have complete trust in your partner.” As much as Jones and Parker fight their hearts out to win and earn championship titles, there’s something else that tugs at their hearts. The Bad Blood boys both say their fans have stolen their hearts.

“We’re having so much fun entertaining our fans,” Jones says. “They have unlimited choices for how to spend their extra money. It humbles me when they choose to spend it to come see us.” “We love talking to our fans,” Parker adds. “We’ll go out of our way to sign autographs. It really makes you feel good when a little kid rushes up to you at intermission and wants to see you.” Bad Blood loves its fans so much that during each match, they choose a fan in the audience and pull them up to give them Bad Blood arm bands and take photos. “Even folks who seem stuffy tell us they’re completely entertained and say they love it,” Jones says. “Whether we beat up the good guys or bad guys, they’re all out there yelling for Bad Blood.” Fans recently were treated to another outstanding performance from Bad Blood. On July 1, at the Johnson County Fairgrounds, Bad Blood held a match especially for the military. More than 70 service men and women came out to see Bad Blood perform. “The military give so much to protect our country,” Jones says. “This is our opportunity to give back and entertain them.” Bad Blood has more matches ahead of them, and it doesn’t seem like their busy schedule shows any signs of slowing. “We’re going to take this thing as far as we can go with it,” Parker says. “We complement each other in the ring. Come see us, see what we do and what we’re all about. Once you see us, you’ll like what we do. You’ll be a big fan.” You can find Thar and Hammer on Facebook.
