Next year, Tammy Goff and her husband Kris will celebrate 40 years of serving the Indianapolis and Plainfield community as a family-owned and -operated business. While Mainstyle Flooring once had four locations on each side of Interstate 465 (Plainfield, Avon, Washington Square and Indianapolis), in 2006 they opted to scale back to just two locations (Indy and Plainfield), and transform their Plainfield warehouse into a beautiful, 2,500-square-foot showroom to include a vast selection of products and samples. They also implemented a new software system, allowing them to customize each guest’s experience.

MAINSTYLE FLOORING array of products available were incredibly limited compared to today’s options. Carpet and sheet vinyl dominated the market, while hardwood and tile were much rarer. Today Mainstyle sells and installs a wide variety of carpet, hardwood, vinyl plank, and tile. They even craft custom area rugs to accent your brand-new floors.

Full bath remodels with custom-tiled showers have also been a large facet of their installations for some time now. With licensed plumbers and electricians and a custom floor plan, Mainstyle makes it easy to achieve the finished bathroom that clients are going to love.

“If you want it, we can build it - knee walls, niches, accent-tile insets, curbless designs, and custom glass,” Goff says.

With the addition of custom countertops and Hunter Douglas window treatments, there is not much Mainstyle can’t handle when it comes to a home’s interior.

When guests step into Mainstyle Flooring, they are greeted by friendly faces with expert job knowledge, pleasant music, the aroma of a burning Yankee candle, and a refreshing bottle of water.

measure this while you’re here?”

“People want to get the ball rolling on that next project even if they aren’t planning to start for a little while,” Goff says.

Once they get the measurements back, Goff explains the process and next steps.

She’s found that while a bottom-line number is important, it’s more important to find a company you can trust, that stands behind their product with expert installation and customer service. It’s equally important that the customer is educated and empowered, so they can make a flooring decision that’s right for them and their family.

“Our industry is riddled with unmet expectations that can be solved with attention to detail and clear communication,” Goff says. “After the customer’s selections have been made, the customer is brought back in to see exactly how we are going to make their flooring dreams come true.”

By the time the Mainstyle reaches out to schedule their installation, guests have already had several positive touchpoints with the Mainstyle team.

Today the staff is working on expanding their showroom footprint by another 3,500 “From there, we started to focus more on square feet, including a stacked-stone the customer experience as opposed to the fireplace, new paint and drywall, vinyl plank They start with a complimentary measure sale,” says Goff, who educates guests on what of your space.

CELEBRATING WOMEN-OWNED BUSINESSES IN HENDRICKS COUNTY Writer / Christy Heitger-Ewing Photographer / Amy Payne

Ladies Luncheon at OPA in Avon

uch has happened through the last 50 years.

According to the National Association of Women Business Owners, in 1972 there were 402,000 women-owned businesses in the U.S. Today that number has grown to a whopping 12.3 million. This means that 45% of U.S. businesses are owned by women. These are numbers worth celebrating, which is why we

dedicate this month’s issue to women-owned businesses in and around Hendricks County. We recently talked with a number of Hendricks County women business owners to ask them about their accomplishments, collaborations, challenges and favorite memories, as well as advice they would share with others. We are grateful to have so many intelligent, talented, driven women at the helm of these businesses.

OCTOBER 2022

Wendy Gehman, Mathnasium

our communities. It’s meant to be shared and appreciated. Art brings people together. It’s a positive thing. We live in a time when young people are coming out of a COVID world and are under a lot of stress. They need the organic, hands-on arts more than ever to be healthy individuals. Knowing that I’m helping young people develop self-esteem by learning the craft of studio art or music excites me every day. It’s the heart of my business.

Q: Share something you and/or your business team celebrated in the past year.

A: Watching our students at first struggle but then succeed and grow is one of our greatest rewards as business owners. Many times our students enter with low confidence, but as they improve in their math abilities, we see their confidence begin to grow. When students light up and get that aha moment, it makes everything we do worthwhile. At Mathnasium we get to celebrate those moments on a regular basis, and the confidence they grow at Mathnasium will help them in all aspects of life.

We are also celebrating our newest center, recently opened in Avon. The new location on Dan Jones Road is conveniently located to serve Avon, Plainfield and Danville. We are excited to have the opportunity to share the Mathnasium program with more Hendricks County families by now offering two locations.

Marie Kirkeiner, Children’s Art Classes Q: In your profession, what is something that excites you the most?

A: I get a great deal of fulfillment out of seeing young people discover their inner artist and develop their self-esteem. I love seeing that spark that comes from accomplishment. I have been teaching fine arts for more than 34 years, and whether it’s music, dance or visual art, the creative arts are engaging and leave students mentally and physically motivated to move forward in their lives. Color, tone and movement cannot be substituted by any other activity. With each creation or performance, the artist can stand back and be grateful for a sense of accomplishment and have the motivation to create the next project.

Jennifer Wharton, Avon Mental Health Q: How has your industry evolved throughout the past decade or two?

A: Mental health had become stifled until recent years, but due to the pandemic, mental health took on a historical transformation. The barriers that once surrounded mental health are being dismantled at an accelerated rate. Stigma and misconceptions are now replaced with more understanding and acceptance. Whether in the workplace, school, church or the community, mental health has seen increased awareness through all sorts of digital and social media platforms.

Even the government has prioritized mental health with expanded mental-health coverage and awareness campaigns. Through restructuring the way care is provided, we have witnessed how mental health, once hospital-based care, transformed into a community-based care system. Expanded services through online formats and community-based programs have improved access to care for anyone struggling with mental-health concerns.

Additionally, fine art doesn’t just benefit the creator. It benefits OCTOBER 2022

Dr. Rachel Goad, All Star Dental Q: What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given?

A: In the first few months of dental school, we had a required ethics lecture to attend, and the best piece of advice I’ve ever been given came from that day.

They said the difference between good and great usually isn’t very much.

Honestly, I don’t think any description I can give will successfully detail how frequently these words cross my mind. While it is often tempting to stop at “good enough,” sometimes it is just an extra two minutes, or a little bit of hard work or ingenuity, that will result in great work, of which you can be very proud. Not only does it make you proud, but in many cases, that extra effort benefits those around you - in my case, my patients. As I work to polish a filling or to adjust a person’s bite, it is easy to say, “This is acceptable,” and so much more satisfying to give that little bit extra. This advice pushes me to be better every day, encourages me not to be stagnant in my learning, and has helped grow my empathy for those I meet.

and choose if they want to make the changes necessary. They also need to know what they are doing right, and for me that all takes intentionality.

Brynn Cochran, Shelter Insurance

A: For me, chiropractic has never just been about working on the back.

There are plenty of other adjunctive modalities to help maintain a painfree life, which is a focus in my practice. This is one big reason I added acupuncture to my practice years ago. More recently I’ve seen a need to go back to school and study functional medicine. Finding the root cause of symptoms integrates perfectly with both chiropractic and acupuncture.

Q: What has been the biggest hurdle or challenge you have faced in your career?

A: I’d have to say myself. Whether it’s feeling inadequate or struggling with comparison, I am always trying to train myself to not allow such things to hold me back.

I’ve come to realize that I am my own worst enemy. Realizing this years ago has allowed me to jump over some high hurdles and face challenges with grace and strength.

Stephanie Yant, Cabin Coffee Co. Q: What is the secret sauce that you use to work collaboratively and effectively with others?

A: The secret sauce is intentionality. As leaders, we may think to ourselves that an employee is not meeting our expectations and we are frustrated, but the employee is unaware. We all want to be liked and we don’t want to offend others, so it is easier to keep our frustrations to ourselves and not voice them. My mindset is that it is actually unfair to not tell them if I am unhappy with their work. It is selfishly easier to not address wrong behavior, but every person deserves the chance to know what they can do to be better

Dr. Vicki Crum, Community Chiropractic Q: Tell me about the role that integration plays in your career.

Dr. Shannon L. Austin, Au.D., SLA Audiology Q: What’s your favorite thing about living and working in Hendricks County?

A: I’m originally from Sullivan, Indiana, but in 2002 my family and I made Brownsburg our home. In June of 2021, after an 18-year career in multiple areas of audiology, I opened SLA Audiology, an independently owned private practice and hearing health-care clinic in Brownsburg.

Hearing loss can lead to frustration and isolation. Navigating the right options for treatment can be overwhelming and this can cause considerable delays in getting help. Because of that, professional and individualized hearing care have always been my passion in audiology.

Establishing SLA Audiology’s reputation as a trusted resource to our patients and the community we share is my favorite thing about living and working in Hendricks County. Caring for the whole patient with the highest standard of care is SLA Audiology’s differentiator, and we enjoy changing the expectation of what hearing health care should be.

OCTOBER 2022

Debbie Moore, Diamond Collision Services Inc.

Jill Martin, F.C. Tucker Company Q: What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given?

Q: Share some ways you give back to the community.

A: We love being able to give back to the community that has blessed our business over the past 24 years.

We love sponsoring kid events like sport teams, Avon schools, and programs at our church, along with various projects put on by the Washington Township Avon Fire Department, Kiwanis and Rotary Club, to name a few.

One of our favorites was fixing up a vehicle in partnership with Recycled Rides to give to Family Promise for a family in need.

God’s been so good, and we feel privileged to be able to share that blessing with those around us.

Dr. Elizabeth Allspaw, Bright View Family Vision Q: Name one of your best memories working in your profession.

A: One of my favorite memories was helping a traumatic brain injury patient. She had been suffering with severe light sensitivity, migraines, dizziness, double vision, and was unable to drive for approximately one year after being in a car accident. It was really limiting her everyday functioning, and she wouldn’t even really go outdoors because the sun bothered her too much. I researched how best to help her with special rose-tinted lenses and prisms in her glasses. She had the largest smile on her face when she picked up her new glasses. I saw her a couple weeks later, and she told me that she had been out shopping with her sister and was already starting to slowly reacclimate to driving. New specialty glasses were life-changing for her.

A: The best piece of advice I have ever been given is from a mentor that said, “Your name is all you have in this business. Make it a good one.” Every day I think about this and try to make the best choices to uphold my name, values and reputation.

Melissa Sheets, F.C. Tucker Company Q: How has your industry evolved throughout the past decade or two?

A: In the real-estate industry we have evolved over the last several years drastically in technology. It wasn’t that long ago we had listing books, driving keys around, handwritten contracts and minimal printed advertising. Today we are very fortunate to have access to most everything because of the internet at our fingertips. Mobile apps, digital signing, electronic lockboxes and social media marketing allow us to do things at a much faster pace than ever before. Time frames that used to be several days now have been shortened to just a few hours.

Q: Achieving a good balance in one’s professional life and personal life can feel like a never-ending struggle.

Do you have any advice for how best to hit that sweet spot?

A: Achieving a good work and personal-life balance is very difficult, but it is important to help maintain one’s own health. I incorporate lifestyle questions into all of my visits with patients at AilmMD in Brownsburg. This helps to get patients thinking about how to modify their daily routines in a positive way. Improved personallife balance is achieved through measures such as healthy diet, daily exercise, alcohol reduction, improved sleep hygiene, and prioritizing family and friend time. In addition, allowing yourself some personal time is important to use however you want, such

Kristi Lee

SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT

KRISTI LEE NAMED TO 2022 INDIANA BROADCAST PIONEERS HALL OF FAME Writer / Christy Heitger-Ewing Photography Provided

As a child, Kristi Lee had no aspirations to work in radio. In fact, the only reason she signed up for a radio class was because a classmate at Ben Davis High School suggested she do so. That one decision altered the trajectory of her life.

“I got the bug,” says Lee, who credits one of her teachers, Dana Webb, for instilling confidence in her regarding her natural broadcasting skills. Webb told her she had talent.

“Nobody had ever said anything like that to me before,” Lee says. “Teachers are so valuable because one good teacher can

change a child’s life forever.”

She began working part time on nights and weekends in 1982 at Q95, finishing That certainly was the case for Lee, who her shift at 6 a.m., when “The Bob & Tom began her broadcast career the summer Show,” a top-rated morning program, she turned 16, working at WNON in was starting. When they decided to hire Lebanon. From there, she worked part a news girl in 1987, Lee was the perfect time all through high school at WEIR, choice, as she liked to banter with them 1430 AM, which at the time was a country as they chatted between their shifts. That music station. was 35 years ago and she’s still going strong. Lee says she feels blessed.

Before leaving for college, Webb suggested that Lee get her Federal “In this business, longevity at one station Communications Commission license in is so rare,” she says. order to make her more marketable. She did, and in 1980 her phone rang with a Lee was chosen to be included in the job offer from WRTV. She stayed there for 2022 Indiana Broadcast Pioneers Hall of six years, working her way up to technical Fame, an exciting and humbling honor. director.

“This recognition acknowledges OCTOBER 2022

that I’m not just a sidekick,” she says. “I’ve done all of these things.”

Some people may not be aware of the extent of her accomplishments in the broadcast industry. Besides being a radio personality, she has also worked as a television engineer, TV anchor, and correspondent for ESPN and ESPN2.

For a while she worked full-time at “The Bob & Tom Show,” then traveled on the weekends for ESPN, catching a flight to the east coast on Friday as soon as she got off the air and returning on Sunday. For two years, Lee also hosted a podcast called “Kristi Lee Uninterrupted.” Born with an unfailing work ethic, she worked seven days a week, including holidays, until her two children were born (they are now 24 and 20).

“A lot of people think of me as the girl that gets made fun of on ‘The Bob & Tom Show,’” Lee says. “Believe me, it was a long, arduous journey to be that person they make fun of.”

In addition to her vast body of work, the Hall of Fame honor acknowledges her commitment to community involvement.

She’s on the board at Ascension St. Vincent Foundation and the Indianapolis Zoo, she volunteers at Second Helpings, she’s participated in countless golf outings, and she has hosted events for charity galas.

“It’s hard for me to say no,” she says.

Through the years she’s worked every shift imaginable. In her 20s she enjoyed working from 4 p.m. to midnight, because she could go straight from work to Broad Ripple to socialize. Working mornings, however, gave her time with her children in the evenings.

Not that rising at 4 a.m. is always fun.

“I don’t ever see the sun come up on my way to work,” she says. “Unless I oversleep.”

Speaking of sleep, she averages about six hours of shut-eye each night.

She’s gotten to meet all sorts of cool people and celebrities including Dolly Parton, who came to “The Bob & Tom Show” when Lee was eight months pregnant.

OCTOBER 2022

“During the break, Dolly was brainstorming baby names with me,” Lee says. “She was so sweet and acted like she’d known me my whole life.”

Lee also got to meet - and befriend - her teenage idol, Peter Frampton.

“He was one of the first concerts I ever saw,” she says. “I was 16 years old at Balboa Park in San Diego, and I fell in love with him the minute he walked on stage. Now we have each other’s phone numbers. We both have goldendoodles so we get them together to play sometimes.

The fact that I can call Peter a friend is mind-blowing to me.”

In her free time Lee likes to read, garden, golf, travel and practice Pilates.

Though she openly admits that she can’t cook worth a darn, she’s proud of her accomplishments and grateful for the life she’s lived.

VISIT BLOOMINGTON

“Honestly, as I look back on my life I wouldn’t change a thing,” Lee says. “Well, except maybe to tell myself to just relax and know that everything will work out in the end.”

Not that the end of her career is coming any time soon.

“I’ll keep doing this until Tom quits, and he’s got a 6-year-old if that tells you anything,” she says with a chuckle.

“Seriously, there’s no reason to leave my job.

I love going to work every day. My radio family is my life. Those are my people.”

BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH UNDERSTANDING AN ABNORMAL MAMMOGRAM

Writer / Dr. Betty Fan, Breast Surgical Oncologist at IU Health West Hospital Photography Provided

Mammograms are vital to the health and longevity of you and your loved ones. Early detection of breast cancer can increase a woman’s five-year survival rate to 97%. Breast cancer is typically discovered through a mammogram or felt as a lump. If your mammogram comes back as abnormal, there are certain steps you can expect to determine your best options.

More imaging may be needed.

If a mammogram is abnormal, extra imaging may be needed.

Typically a doctor will order a diagnostic mammogram if unusual changes are detected in the breast, such as a lump, breast pain, change in breast size or shape, and nipple discharge. Diagnostic mammograms will provide the radiologist with more detailed views of the breast to help determine if cancer is present. A breast ultrasound may also be used in combination with a mammogram to further work up a breast finding.

The patient may undergo additional tests.

After an abnormal mammogram, the doctor may order a breast biopsy. A biopsy is the removal and sampling of breast tissue to

determine if a suspicious finding is cancer. This is most commonly performed by a needle. With a needle biopsy, a small sample of breast tissue is removed through the needle. Often a small biopsy clip may be placed to mark the area where the sample was taken in the breast, for future reference. The biopsy process should not be painful. Most doctors will use a local anesthetic to numb the area.

Sometimes women may have some bruising afterwards.

Discuss your surgical options.

Should your biopsy results show cancer, you will likely require further treatment. Your breast cancer physician will work with you to identify a treatment plan that is best for you. Your physician will explain all the treatment options available for your specific diagnosis, and based on those results along with your personal preferences, will decide on a treatment plan with you. This could include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy and hormone therapy. When to begin treatment is based on the results of your specific breast cancer, and your personal preferences. When you and your physician identify the best treatment plan, you will also decide on when to begin implementing the plan.

If you notice an abnormality in your breast, don’t wait. Discuss it with your physician right away.

Founders of WellBridge Surgical Dr. Eric Inman, local entrepreneur Jeff Williams, and Dr. Ron Piniecki

WellBridge Surgical is disrupting the healthcare model for surgery in Indiana.

The country’s second-ever cash-pay surgery center offers Hoosiers fixed and transparent pricing for surgery.

Local business owner Jeff Williams noticed the cost of health care was rising tremendously for his small business.

Williams didn’t want to increase his deductible for his employees, nor did he want to increase his rates by a high margin. Instead, Williams partnered with longtime friends Dr. Ron Piniecki and Dr. Eric Inman, both anesthesiologists, to revolutionize the way patients pay for their surgical care.

The fixed payment method means patients know their all-in total cost for surgery prior to the procedure and don’t receive a surprise bill in the mail. Pricing includes the facility charge, surgeon fee and anesthesiologist fee. Patients pay a one-time consultation fee of $150 that is credited to the cost of the surgical procedure.

CONNECT

Not only is the pricing up-front and transparent, but patients also pay, on average, 30% to 60% less than they would at other facilities in Indianapolis. Williams says WellBridge can offer their patients

those savings by not adding hidden facility fees. For instance, the WellBridge cost for ear tubes is $2,380, while the Indianapolis average is $6,804.

WellBridge Surgical offers general surgery, orthopedics, gynecology, otolaryngology, urology, podiatry, and gastroenterology procedures. Patients contact WellBridge and are paired with a surgeon based on their specific surgical needs. The prices of surgical procedures are listed on the WellBridge Surgical website. The patient will know their total cost immediately.

“Dr. Piniecki and Dr. Inman have worked at some of the biggest hospital systems, so they know most of the surgeons in Indianapolis,” Williams says. “We’ve partnered with some of the best surgeons in the city.”

“Our first surgical patient was a smallbusiness owner,” Williams says. “He and his wife were so thankful to find us. They have insurance but they never knew what they would pay for care. It made us feel like we were proving our theory right.”

Hoosiers pay the fourth-highest surgical costs nationwide according to a 2020 RAND Corporation study. WellBridge aims to make a difference with the uninsured, individuals with high-deductible insurance plans, and those with self-funded plans.

Kellum, was instrumental in transitioning Plainfield’s schools from the trustee system to an elected school board. His wife Louise was the school secretary at East and Central elementary schools. Their four children went on to earn degrees in education. Today, several family members are educators as well.

This multigenerational Plainfield family takes pride in their Plainfield roots and the opportunities provided by Plainfield’s schools. In fact, three members of the Kellum family have served on the board of directors for the Plainfield Community Schools Legacy Foundation, including Nancy (class of 1956), Nick (class of 1962) and Ryan (class of 2011.) Nancy is an original member of the board and still serves today, and is joined on the current board by Ryan.

The four Kellum siblings (Nancy Haskell, Kathy Howard, Nick Kellum and Peggy Metz Kellum) recently invested their family trust with the Legacy Foundation, whose vision is to create a legacy that will enrich the educational experiences of all students in the Plainfield Community School Corporation. “Education has always been vitally important to our family, so we felt like it made sense to allocate our funds to the Legacy Foundation,” Nancy explains. “This is our way of extending the legacy begun by my grandmother so many years ago.”

The board of directors of the Legacy Foundation is grateful for the confidence and support shown by the KellumBly family trust, and looks forward to continuing the vision their ancestors brought to Plainfield in the early 1900s.

“Obviously, Bloomington is home to Indiana University so IU football is always a great idea when visiting the city,” says Erin White, director of leisure marketing and media for Visit Bloomington. “We also have the 4th Street Festival of the Arts and Crafts, the 10th Annual Kiwanis Indiana Balloon Festival, and many other festivals all fall long.”

Bloomington draws people in with its cultural diversity, and is home to more than 350 different restaurants including more than 80 international restaurants. Foodies will love dining on 4th Street, which is lovingly referred to as international restaurant row.

“You’ll find more than a dozen houses that have been converted into international restaurants,” White says.

“You can find Tibetan, Turkish, Indian, Afghan, Korean and much more in Bloomington.”

If you want outdoor adventure, look no further than Monroe Lake. It’s Indiana’s TownePost.com / OCTOBER 2022 / PLAINFIELD MAGAZINE / 29

largest land-bound body of water with more than 11,000 surface acres. Nature lovers will find more than just water activities at the lake.

FROM DESIGN TO BUILD

WE’VE GOT YOUR REMODEL COVERED

“Monroe Lake is a fantastic place for folks to spend time,” White says. “We have three boat rental companies on the water that provide all sorts of personal watercraft including jet skis, kayaks, stand-up paddle boards, pontoon boats, deck boats, and double-decker boats complete with a slide. For those leaf peepers and folks who want to take in the scenery of the Hoosier National Forest, the lake is a great way to check out the fall foliage, and see bald eagles and other natural wildlife that exists in the area.”

The city offers traditional lodging like hotels and motels, along with boutique inns and quaint bed and breakfasts.

Hotels situated downtown are within walking distance to the restaurant and bar scene. Many of the bed and breakfasts are still close to downtown but are a little closer to campus.

Bloomington offers tons of familyfriendly activities for the kids and kidsat-heart.

“We’re home to lots of unique, familyfriendly attractions and experiences,” White says. “WonderLab Museum is a great hands-on children’s science center located in the heart of downtown Bloomington. It’s a great place to spend a few hours with the family. Hoosier Heights is an indoor climbing facility, so if your kids are really rambunctious and need to expend some energy, spending a couple of hours at Hoosier Heights is a fun way to get the whole family out and get them active. We also have hundreds of miles of trails. Parents can throw bikes in the car and utilize the B-Line Trail as well.”

Three reasons why a mammogram is an important part of your preventive health

1

A mammogram can save your life. Early detection of breast cancer can increase a woman’s five-year survival rate to 97%.

2

It doesn’t take much time. Mammograms are a quick procedure, only taking about 20 minutes.

3

Your risk of developing breast cancer increases as you age. The older you get, the more you are at risk of developing breast cancer. That’s why mammograms aren’t a one-and-done test.

Mammograms are vital to your health and longevity as a woman. Indiana University Health recommends routine screening mammography to improve the likelihood of detecting breast cancer early. If you have specific questions about your level of risk for breast cancer, schedule an appointment with your primary care provider.

Schedule your mammogram today.
