THE NEW FRONTIER

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS DRIVE GIRLS’ FLAG FOOTBALL GROWTH

Flag football is one of the fastest-growing sports in the world. It will be added to the 2028 Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles. More than 50 colleges are expected to have girls flag football teams by 2028 in response to overwhelming interest.

That’s why the Indianapolis Colts and the Jim Irsay family committed $1 million to growing the girls high school flag football program in Indiana. In order to make flag football a sanctioned sport with the Indiana High School Athletic Association, 100 high schools must participate in the program.

They’re calling the new campaign “Road to 100” and they’re nearly halfway there.

In 2023 the Colts formed a high school football league with eight teams, and in 2024 the league expanded to 27 teams. It’s a statewide network to grow the game in Indiana and help connect young athletes to NFL FLAG-sanctioned programs.

There are 43 Indiana high schools, including Beech Grove, Warren Central, Pike and beyond, that have committed to offering a girl’s flag football program, with more signing up every day.

When a new team is launched, the Colts

help offset costs with funds for equipment, uniforms, training and coaching.

“We want to drive participation to the game and continue to support and amplify the game,” said Andy Matis, senior manager of football development at the Indianapolis Colts. “As we grow, we’re able to incorporate more audience, which is a key focus.”

Unlike tackle football, play consists of two 24-minute halves. It’s a five-on-five format and players rotate positions throughout the game. The field is smaller than a standard tackle football field, 40 yards in width and 100 yards in length. Of course, instead of tackling the opponent, the goal is to pull a flag from their waistband. Point scoring is similar, with six points for a touchdown.

It’s safe to say that in the past, young women have not had the same elite-level options in football as young men have had, but when the Colts opened up the opportunity for a women’s league, they were met with plenty of interest.

In fact, 50% of the girls coming out for flag football tryouts have signed up for their first high school sports program ever.

“Even in youth leagues they’ve consistently

offered coed options, but there’s two girls in the midst of all the boys coming out for these,” Matis said. “They might not feel inclined even though they’re interested. Now, having your own space in sports, you don’t have to ask if you love the game enough to try tackle. You have your space in the sport.”

Young women from the original eight teams have enjoyed the nature of the game and the relationships formed through the process, just like many other tight-knit sports teams. It’s a memory they’ll never forget.

Players from the Colts team have been supportive as well, happy to see the sport continue to grow in unique and inclusive ways.

Indianapolis Colts linebacker Zaire Franklin has recently been named Global Flag Ambassador for the NFL’s commitment to growing flag football across the nation. Franklin has been working with the league over the past few years, and wants to help drive support and make the program fun.

“This is just a great opportunity,” Franklin said. “Everyone loves the game and football has taught me so much about life. This program gives young women the

opportunity to learn those lessons and build those bonds.”

He’ll be hosting a clinic for flag football teams in the state soon and hopes to invite a few individuals from the U.S. team to get involved.

“Last year I had the chance to help coach girls flag football players at Lucas Oil Stadium and I was so impressed by the skill, tenacity and passion of these young ladies,” Franklin said. “I look forward to helping grow flag football in Indiana and around the world, and providing more opportunities for girls and boys alike to learn, play and connect through this awesome sport.”

Like most team sports, flag football offers physical and mental health benefits, hones teamwork skills, and teaches discipline and resilience.

Just in the past few years, reports from high school athletic directors across the state have been positive. Young women who were having a tough time in school are now getting better grades. Attendance is up and the empowerment they feel is evident.

“We’re building the next generation of strong adults,” Matis said. “The appetite is there. The interest is there. To see these girls come out and bring their competitive fire to this sport has been really inspiring.”

RAINE & SAGE QUANTUM HEALING CENTER

Amber Raine and Roman Sage opened the doors to Raine & Sage Quantum Healing Center at the beginning of 2024 with one goal - creating a safe and healing space for their community. Raine and Sage were inspired after finding progress in their own healing journeys through various holistic and energetic healing practices. Through meditation, sound therapy, yoga and so much more, they were able to heal from their traumas and learned how to help others do the same.

“When we opened, we were hopeful to help others heal from their pain or trauma,” Roman says. “We could not have imagined the joy and connectedness we would experience in ourselves and in our clients. Everyone who walks through our doors finds more than just healing. They also find peace, happiness and confidence.”

Both Amber and Roman hold multiple international accreditations and certifications from reputable institutions such as Place of Bliss Academy and Transformation Academy. These credentials underscore their commitment to professional excellence and continuous growth in the healing arts.

Located at 901 South Courtland Avenue, Suite B in Kokomo, Raine & Sage Quantum Healing Center stands as a sanctuary for those seeking holistic wellness and spiritual growth. The center offers a diverse array of services aimed at nurturing the mind, body and soul, through various healing modalities including sound therapy and energy healing. Guided by the belief that global unity and peace are achievable through spiritual healing and enhanced emotional intelligence, their offerings encompass private sessions such as Nervous System Reset and Trauma Release, as well as group events like Sound Journeys and energetic balance/qigong for inner peace classes.

“One of the things that makes Raine & Sage such a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere is our community,” Roman says. “We tell everyone, ‘When you’re here, you’re part of our tribe.’ That is a motto that we encourage within the healing center, and our clients respect and appreciate that.”

Beyond healing sessions, the center is committed to personal development through workshops and classes that delve into topics like energetic skills, emotional management and spiritual exploration. These educational opportunities are designed to empower individuals on their healing journeys and foster a deeper selfunderstanding. This ambiance encourages relaxation and authenticity, allowing visitors to feel at ease as they embark on their healing journeys.

“The most rewarding part of opening Raine and Sage has been seeing the light and joy return to so many faces, especially in the people who had such heavy burdens before,” Roman says. “The freedom our clients get to experience is truly fulfilling.”

Raine & Sage exemplifies a holistic approach to wellness, combining personalized healing, educational enrichment and community involvement. The owners have worked hard to create a supportive and judgement-free environment, making it inviting to people who are still uncertain or hesitant to take the first step. For those in Kokomo and beyond seeking a path to healing and selfdiscovery, the center offers a welcoming and supportive environment.

CHANGING OF THE GUARD

TERRY GRUEL RETIRES AFTER 35 YEARS

After 35 years of community impact and mentoring students young and old, Terry Gruel is retiring as the owner of Indiana Martial Arts and Fitness. In February of this year, he passed proprietorship to Pierce and Amber Overton, who will run the studio as Indiana Underdogs. For Gruel this is not an end, but rather a time of transition, and he looks back with gratitude at the studio’s success. He is confident that the values and principles on which the studio was founded will continue to inspire future students.

Gruel, along with a partner, opened his first school in 1990. In 1993 he ventured out on his own with Terry Gruel Karate Studio in Tipton. Several years later he opened Indiana Martial Arts and Fitness in Kokomo.

Most people don’t realize that during the years Gruel owned the studio, he also worked a full-time job during the day. For the past 30 years he has been a quality manager for various companies. After work each day, he traveled to the studio and taught various martial arts classes until 9:00 at night. He confides that it was his passion for the sport that kept him going at such a pace.

Over the years the studio grew from humble beginnings to an establishment that produced over 50 state and national

karate champions and 17 United States Karate Association divisional world champions. Gruel introduced diverse classes such as traditional karate, Hawaiian Kempo, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Krav Maga, Force Necessary and Sayoc Kali. Programs were developed for all ages and included instruction for beginner, intermediate and advanced students.

“I couldn’t have done it without the assistance of my wife, Carrie,” he says. “I was away a lot and she sacrificed for years. In her own right, she was the best competitor the studio ever turned out. Her career has included nine state, eight national and four world championships. We were also the first husband and wife to win a national title in the same year, and both of us earned the Glenn Keeney Excellence Award.”

“Growing up, I was a small kid,’ he continues. “I got my passion for karate from watching Bruce Lee in The Green Hornet. It was the kicks that did it. My personal martial achievements would not have been attainable without my instructors: Mark Cambell, goju-ryu; Luigi Mondelli, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and Hock Hochheim, Force Necessary. Eddie Bethea is another mentor who helped me during my competitive years.

My good friend, Donnie Michael, spent countless hours sparring with me.”

Gruel shares that despite the overall success of the studio, there were many obstacles that had to be overcome. The martial arts industry did not stay static; trends changed over the years and demand for certain classes ebbed and flowed. Economic downturns were weathered and COVID brought its own challenges. Through it all, Gruel feels the studio endured because of the support from students, instructors and the community.

“One of the most rewarding aspects of owning the studio has been the opportunity to mentor and guide countless students,” he says. “I’ve had the pleasure of teaching people from all walks of life, ranging from preschool children to professional adults. Watching them grow, develop confidence and achieve their goals has been a source of immense pride. The practice of martial arts teaches students to set small goals. The small steps accomplish a large step. It teaches you not to focus on

events going on outside, and helps you forget the day’s stress.”

During his time as an instructor for more than three decades, Gruel witnessed some amazing transformations. After three years of classes, a middle-aged student with Parkinson’s disease was able to get up and down from the floor without assistance. Another man who walked with a cane due to a broken back from a car accident challenged himself to take a mixed martial arts class. Despite being terrified of being re-injured, he persevered. After two years he was able to walk without a cane. Five years later he earned a black belt.

“While I look forward to exploring new interests and spending more time with loved ones, I will miss the daily interactions with students and the vibrant atmosphere of the studio,” Gruel says. “Martial arts have been an integral part of my life, and the studio has been my second home. I met lots of good people and I got to see kids grow up. I’m proud I made a positive impact. It’s wonderful when students I had 15 or 20 years ago come up to me and tell me it made a difference in their lives.”

Besides touching the lives of individuals, the studio was involved in the community and gave back in multiple ways. It sponsored kick-a-thons in the late 1990s to raise money for a K9 to be purchased for the Tipton Sheriff’s Department. For 10 years it hosted a blood drive. The studio also held annual toy drives for Urban Outreach and raised funds for the all-inclusive playground at Western Primary School. Free selfdefense classes were held for children after the Delphi

tragedy, as well as free Realtors Association of Central Indiana self-defense classes.

“Last March I realized it was time to step down,” Gruel says. “I collect cars and have two grand-babies. While I no longer own the studio, I will continue to teach Brazilian jiu-jitsu and the combative program three days a week when scheduled. It will be much easier. I will go home when I’m done teaching - not stay until nine at night.”

“After I sold the studio, I didn’t feel the need to have a big celebration or something similar,” he adds. “Some people have a hard time with transitions, but I’m happy, at peace and have no regrets. I’ve been blessed. I’ve had the opportunity to meet the highest-level people in the martial arts industry. The studio was more than just a place to learn martial arts; it evolved into a community where lifelong friendships were forged and individuals were empowered.”

THE HOMEMADE TOUCH

MILITARY VETERAN FINDS SOLACE AND SUCCESS IN BAKING

Hannah Tina has been in the military for 14 years. It’s a stressful job with long hours, and she’s gone for weekends and weeks at a time.

However, it wasn’t until the pandemic hit when Tina found baking to be one of her passions.

“We were all stuck at home and I would call my stepmom to get recipes,” she said. “I’ve been able to tweak some of them to make them my own, and I just found the oven became one of my loves. I needed something to settle my mind. I wanted something to relieve stress and that’s what baking does for me. I can come home from a long day and knead dough and punch it if I want to. It’s very therapeutic to turn flour and water into bread.”

She started making quick breads: banana, zucchini, cinnamon and more. Then she moved into sourdough, eventually branching out to bagels, muffins and cookies.

“My family started asking me to bake for them, and now I provide my parents, brothers and neighbors with the daily bread they consume,” Tina said. “After a few months everyone was telling me I should start selling it. So it started out as a hobby, and now I do pop-ups at farmers markets and whatever else I can get into.”

She’s even created a name for her new and unexpected business: The Homemade Touch.

As a busy single parent, Tina said there were additional benefits to

baking her own bread. She likes serving her son healthier food and it costs less to make it than to buy it.

“I’ve always tried to get him to eat things with less preservatives,” she said. “I’ve never gone cold turkey with it, but when we eat our bread I know exactly what went in it, and it’s helping in more ways than one. I’ve found, even with the price of eggs right now, it still costs less to make it than to buy it, and it’s better for you.”

She loves to play with flavors and shapes. Her son’s favorite is cinnamon and her neighbors serve as the official testers of a new flavor she’s trying out. Still, Tina said the tried and true is still her bestseller.

“It’s plain sourdough bread,” she said. “It’s so good for you and it works for everything. Whether you want sandwiches or toast, you can have this with breakfast, lunch and dinner.”

In addition to bread orders she receives on Facebook, orders for muffins, bagels or holiday-themed cookies are popular too. She’s also created some fun ways to get the whole family involved.

“I did some Valentine’s Day cookie decorating kits,” she said. “I’ve had people ask me to do some for other holidays. I’m planning on a Fourth of July kit and of course Christmas, but hopefully I’ll have it all perfected by the holidays.”

In the long term, Tina hopes to turn her hobby and small business into a post-career opportunity.

“I would love to one day open a breakfast spot,” she said. “It would be primarily baked goods but maybe I could find a partner who knows how to cook. This small town has been so supportive of people who want to start their own business.”

The only regret Tina has is not getting started sooner.

“I wish I had known how to make my own stuff earlier instead of being reliant on store bought,” Tina said. “I just love baking. It’s helped me in so many ways and helps my family. I love that people come to me to help feed their families. It’s very rewarding.”

AT HOME

Let’s face it - real estate transactions, and the current real estate market, can be tricky. As the new year has rolled in and we’re now heading into spring and summer, it’s a good time to start looking at where the real estate market stands and where it may be headed - along with tips for the home buying process.

In recent years interest rates have risen dramatically, peaking at over 8% in October of 2023. Now, mortgage rates have gone up from 6.35% (September 2024) to the current average rate of 6.85%. The reality homeowners are facing is that rates in the 5% to low 6% range might now be considered the new low.

In Howard and Tipton counties, houses are on the market for an average of 40 days with an average sale price of $196,313 and a sale-to-list price ratio of 98.47%.

Home inventory has increased in many markets, and while it’s not enough to meet buyer demand, it’s a sufficient boost to market activity. Real estate data provider CoreLogic predicts home prices will grow at a modest annual rate of just 2.3% through September 2025.

While the housing market has been like a roller coaster, how are buyers supposed to keep up?

EVER-CHANGING MARKET

NAVIGATING THE NEW NORMS IN REAL ESTATE

Carrie Gruel from Kokomo-based Carrie Gruel & Associates knows real estate transactions are complicated, and she is here to help. Using a realtor brings a wealth of market expertise and in-depth knowledge of the local market to the buying or selling experience. It also brings wider exposure for your home, and helps leverage strategies like professional photography, staging and advertising to reach more buyers.

Still, many buyers have come into 2025 wondering - what’s the best way to approach the market?

Gruel says financial preparedness and getting pre-approved are key steps for a smooth home buying experience. Here are her four top tips for pre-approval:

1. Check your credit scores. The higher the score, the better interest rate.

2. Reduce your debt. Lowering your debtto-income ratio improves your chances of pre-approval.

3. Gather your financial documents. The lender will need pay stubs, tax returns, W-2 or 1099 forms, a bank statement, and proof of assets.

4. Don’t make large purchases or change jobs before or during the pre-approval process and real estate transaction as it could affect your loan eligibility.

She also debunks three “rules” that homebuyers generally hear, and offers alternative suggestions to help buyers make buying a home a reality.

Rule: Save 20% for your down payment. Reality: Putting 20% down will eliminate private mortgage insurance (PMI), but it is not necessary. Many loans allow for as low as 3.5% down.

Rule: Buy at the top of your pre-approval amount.

Reality: Remember, you’ll want to keep in mind maintenance, repairs and lifestyle expenses. Don’t max yourself out!

Rule: For home staging, use gray tones only.

Reality: Warm neutrals like beige, taupe and soft whites are in. Declutter your spaces and remember less is more. For a cozy feel, add greenery and baskets.

Whether you’re buying or selling your home in the near future, it’s wise to have a realtor on your side. Contact Carrie Gruel & Associates at 765-432-8955 for an enjoyable and personalized experience in finding your perfect home in North Central Indiana.

HELPFUL TIPS FOR ENHANCING YOUR OUTDOOR LIVING SPACE

Does your outdoor space need a makeover? Maybe you’ve been researching landscape design ideas and are considering hiring a landscape architect or designer, or maybe you just want to learn more about the overall concept of landscape design to start on a few spring projects yourself. Think about your essential priorities. Do you need a pergola or outdoor pavilion to help provide shade? Maybe you envision flower beds full of annuals and perennials.

In recent years, outdoor living spaces have evolved into luxurious extensions of indoor areas, incorporating a variety of high-end features to enhance comfort and entertainment. Homeowners are increasingly investing in elements like outdoor theaters, pools, bars and other amenities to create versatile and inviting environments.

HERE ARE THREE TIPS FROM MISHA JEFFERSON, OWNER OF THE BACKYARD GARDENERS, LLC, A LANDSCAPE DESIGN BUSINESS THAT HAS BEEN LOCATED IN KOKOMO FOR OVER 20 YEARS.

TIP #1

Now is the time to get your landscape beds in top condition to reap the benefits all year long! Evaluate the condition of the landscape beds and look at anything that may have been damaged from the winter. You’ll want to remove or replace anything that didn’t make it through the colder months.

TIP #2

Leaf removal now will prevent a variety of problems in the summer months. Leaves stuck under shrubs or landscaping beds should be removed to prevent harm from other existing plants. Consider using a leaf blower to move them to a designated area, or use a mulching lawn mower to chop them into smaller pieces for use as mulch.

Jefferson can also assist with designing your outdoor space, whether it’s adding a pergola or an outdoor kitchen pavilion to elevate your backyard into an oasis. Pergolas add both architectural interest and functional shade. They’re perfect for creating outdoor dining or lounging spaces, offering some protection from the sun while still maintaining an open, airy feel. The purpose of an outdoor kitchen pavilion is to create an inviting and functional space for outdoor cooking and entertaining while also providing protection from the elements. Features such as high-end grills, pizza ovens, refrigerators

TIP #3

Mulch your landscaping areas at the correct depth. Landscaping areas with mulch should be 3 to 4 inches deep to help with weed suppression. Then, apply pre-emergent herbicides (Jefferson suggests Preen) to mulch beds and decorative stone areas. Herbicides like Preen are used to control annual grass and broadleaf weeds.

and ample counter space make cooking and hosting outdoors both convenient and enjoyable

Creating a beautiful and functional backyard can transform your home, and landscaping is key to making these features blend seamlessly with your environment. The Backyard Gardeners, LLC can be reached at 765-868-8468 or admin@bygkokomo.com for landscape and design consultations.

SEASONAL HOME MAINTENANCE GUIDE

EXPERT TIPS FOR KEEPING YOUR HOME IN TOP SHAPE

As the temperatures rise and the days get longer, spring and summer are the perfect seasons to give your home the care and attention it deserves. From sprucing up curb appeal to checking for winter damage, seasonal home maintenance helps prevent costly repairs and keeps everything running smoothly. Here are some top spring and summer maintenance tips from the team at Hatch Home Repair here in Kokomo.

1. INSPECT AND REPAIR YOUR ROOF

Spring storms and winter snow can leave your roof worse for wear. Inspect your shingles for any signs of damage, such as curling, cracking or missing pieces. Water stains on your ceiling or attic may also indicate a leak. While you can do a quick visual inspection from the ground, trust professionals to safely handle any repairs and ensure your roof is ready for the next round of Indiana weather.

2. CLEAN AND SEAL WINDOWS AND DOORS

Drafty windows and loose seals can make your air conditioning work harder in the summer, increasing your energy bill. Use weatherstripping or caulk to seal any gaps.

3. CHECK YOUR HVAC SYSTEM

Before the summer heat hits hard, it’s a good idea to service your HVAC system. Change your air filters, clean vents and consider a tune-up. An HVAC professional can help coordinate inspections or troubleshoot ventilation issues ensuring your cooling system runs smoothly all season.

4. UPDATE YOUR HOME’S EXTERIOR

Nothing says summer like a fresh coat of paint or a newly built deck. Professional painting and carpentry services can revitalize your home’s appearance. This is also a great do-it-yourself project that can be accomplished with basic skills and supplies. Whether it’s staining a fence, touching up trim or painting a full exterior, this simple upgrade can greatly increase the value and aesthetic of your home.

5. STAY ON TOP OF PLUMBING AND ELECTRICAL ISSUES

Leaky outdoor faucets or outdated wiring for summer lighting can be more than just nuisances; they can cause long-term damage if left unchecked. While minor plumbing and electrical work can be accomplished without a contractor, it is best to call in a pro to address issues before they escalate. From repairing a leaky faucet to installing new lighting fixtures, an experienced handyman will ensure your project’s success.

6. DECLUTTER AND ORGANIZE YOUR SPACE

Warmer months are ideal for organizing garages, sheds and outdoor storage areas. Decluttering helps prevent pests and gives you more usable space. There are many ways a homeowner can better organize space by installing shelving, repairing storage doors and even hauling off debris, leaving your space clean and functional.

As you gear up for brighter days in the forecast, taking proactive steps to maintain your home can ensure it remains a comfortable and welcoming sanctuary. By following these spring and summer maintenance tips, you can safeguard your property and enjoy a worry-free season of relaxation and enjoyment in your well-cared-for space.
