KIDS TRI FOR KIDS: A TRIATHLON SERIES FOR KIDS!

Writer / Kara Reibel

Swim. Bike. Run. This is what a typical summer day looks like for most kids. Thanks to a special series of triathlons for children ages 7-14, these three beloved activities are combined for a fun fundraising athletic event series. Since 2008, Kids TRI for Kids has raised money for Indianapolis area kids’ charities such as Best Buddies.

“Teaching transitions is the key for a triathlon event,” said Osborne. “[When] instructing kids on how to get out of a pool and get on a bike, that is when they realize ‘I can do this!’” Brad Osborne says of his wife, Meg, “Not only is she able to capture an idea but can capture an idea and put wheels on it.” And in this

Doug Robinson of Phoenix Fitness and Swim coach and former IU swimmer Meg Training LLC fully supported the effort. The When a kid came up to Osborne at a race Gates Osborne thought creating a kids first event in 2008 saw 80 kids take part in and asked, “I’m not going to win this race, triathlon event would be a great fundraiser on the triathlon fundraiser.

The first triathlons for children were run by Ed Merkling, assistant director of the Natatorium at IUPUI. Merkling coaches the Jaguar Aquatics swim team in addition to running camps and programs for kids at the Natatorium. When the idea for Kids TRI for Kids was evolving, Merkling was immediately brought into the conversation. With their first fundraising triathlon held at the Jordan YMCA in 2008, the popularity of the triathlon series immediately took off. This summer, the first two races had over 250 entries, a 20 percent increase over last year. “Not every kid is an elite athlete, but what I love is seeing the kid with streamers flowing off the handles of their bike,” says Merkling. These kids know how to keep it fun.

Coming Home to Zionsville

Baby Lucy, David and Katie Wefler Writer & Photographer / JJ Kaplan

Ask David Wefler why he nominated his wife, Katie, to be our Mom of The Year, and adoringly he explains that he wanted to do something extra special for her for Valentine’s Day. He nominated her in February as a surprise, and her friends all agreed with their affirmative votes. Katie Peine Wefler is a 2007 Zionsville Community High School graduate, who was active in Show Choir, Royalaires

and Chamber Choir. She continued her education in Organizational Leadership at Purdue and graduated in 2011. It is here that David met Katie, and they soon realized they were a perfect pair. They married shortly after. When looking for a place to settle down, the couple knew that David’s home area in northwest Indiana was not as conducive to raising a family as Zionsville. When Katie visited her hometown, David was impressed with the friendliness and helpfulness that

our community exuded. With her family in town as well, Zionsville just seemed like the perfect place to call home. The Weflers budgeted their finances to make ends meet on his single income as a teacher, while Katie’s primary focus is to be at home with 18-month-old Lucy. David would like to encourage people to settle here because it is an affordable community that has much to offer. He appreciates Katie’s sacrifice to make ends meet here by being married to a teacher with a modest income.

atZionsville.com / MAY 2015 / ZIONSVILLE COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER / 17

“She gives up and passes on a lot of opportunities to be a stay-at-home mom and live where we do,” explains David. “I know that in the grand scheme of things, it is God’s plan for us to be where we are now and where we will go in the future. Along the way, I only try to give Katie my best and learn what it takes to be dedicated to God and my family.” In addition to the demands of motherhood, Katie is a birth doula and coaches women through various aspects of birthing. She is trained by DONA International and a member of Indy Birth Alliance. She loves connecting with her expectant moms and helping them with lifestyle, pain management, postpartum and breastfeeding education.

Thanks to our wonderful sponsors!

Katie is an active member of Zionsville Moms Group (ZMG), which consists of approximately 100 women with young children. The group organizes mom’s night out, couples’ night out, play groups and wellness activities for families. Katie is on the Board of Directors at ZMG and leads their monthly book club. She selects top books and organizes monthly themed meetings. Next month’s read is Amy Poehler’s book, “Yes Please.”

FALLING SHORT OF THE MARK? THE LEGISLATURE’S RESPONSE TO THE SCHOOL FUNDING CRISIS Editor’s Note: This is the third in a series of stories we have produced on the school funding crisis. Some may wonder why so many. It is our view that there are few things more important to our readers than the quality of our local schools and the level of taxation. This issue puts both squarely on the front burner. school districts could no longer contribute any local property taxes into their general fund unless they went to the ballot seeking After months of media blitzes, coalition an operating referendum. The simple fact forums and meetings with educators is that ZCS immediately lost $17.7 million at the Statehouse, the Indiana House of local funds when the law was changed, of Representatives and Indiana Senate and the district has struggled since to fill deliberated and passed the updated version of that gap even after the ZCS administration the school funding formula. So how does this and school board engaged in extensive costrevised formula affect our local school district cutting measures. and the quality of our children’s education? Writer / Janelle Morrison Photographer / JJ Kaplan

Let’s first review the issues that the previous formula had on suburban school districts throughout our state, like the Zionsville Community School (ZCS) district. In 2008, 64 percent of ZCS’s general fund was comprised of local property taxes. In 2009, the law was changed, and the state’s

“Our district remains one of the lowest funded in the state,” said Dr. Scott Robison, Zionsville’s Superintendent of Schools. “We lost many programs as a result of our funding declining every year since 2009. We now receive fewer total dollars per pupil than we received back in 2002 to educate some 2,000 more students going into 20152016. We have higher class sizes, and this

will continue to be the norm until we get the funding dilemma solved. Our three-year referendum that began in 2012 will end at the end of this calendar year creating a $5 to $5.4 million additional gap in our funding. “Currently, we receive $4,960 per student. Mike Shafer, our CFO, and I have calculated that it would take approximately $6,100 per student in 2015 to restore class sizes, to obtain project Lead the Way which is a staple of pre-engineering courses throughout Indiana that our students deserve and to get back our elementary physical education/health courses taught by trained professionals. We would also be able to sustain our elementary STEM science program, which we were able to bring back as a result of the referendum. We do not want to lose that again.

the quality and continuity of our program in the face of this level of employee turnover is very difficult, but nationwide data from several sustained studies show the efficacy of such programs in boosting overall student achievement and student cognitive activities in other subjects. Yet our staffing is disproportionately low in this area for the number of students that we have. This is a direct result of our funding issues.” Last month, the House presented their version of the formula that would have Dr. Scott Robison, Zionsville’s provided about $200 more per student across Superintendent of Schools the coming biennium and elevate the average. ZCS would still have been almost $800 below “Over the past few years, we have had the state average per pupil funding, and tenuous staffing with high employee turnover by 2017, ZCS would have been the lowest rates in important programs that research funded school district in the state. In the shows would increase student achievements Senate’s version, there were significant shifts in other core academic courses. One example in the complexity formula vs. foundation of this would be our orchestra program. Our amount, but enrollment projections remain orchestra program is run on a shoestring, a primary factor. Now school districts across and in the past three years, we have had four the state will review the final version of the different orchestra directors. Maintaining funding formula that passed at the end of

April to decipher the impact that it will have on their respective districts. Shafer is analyzing the final impact on our district and will provide a detailed report at the May Board meeting. Board members will then consider various ways to balance the 2016 and 2017 budgets. Options could include reducing the number of teachers and cutting programs for the 2016-2017 school year or placing a referendum question on the November 2015 ballot. The current operating referendum expires this year. “When we successfully sought a three-year referendum in 2012, we hoped to have a clearer picture of the future of the school funding formula when it expired in 2015,” said Robison. “By May, we will know what that picture looks like, so our Board of Trustees will be able to make informed decisions about the future of our schools.

“We will not retain good teachers if we pay them less than the going rate in the labor market for teachers of the caliber we find on our staff. This is an economic fact of life. We have already seen teachers leave us because we have not been able to provide a stable financial environment. When the money doesn’t flow from the state to hire teachers,

go into the funding formula, and yet we get the lowest shares back. “We are not saying that school funding should be equal dollar-for-dollar for a student who attends an inner city school, for example, who likely is socioeconomically disadvantaged and needs more school services and supports as compared to a student in Zionsville. We are saying that school funding should be equitable and provide adequate levels of services and programs for all students regardless of their hometown or address. However, with the disparities in the current funding formula, the gap is so skewed that it doesn’t allow us to do what we need to do for our students here in the upcoming years.”

ZCS is growing 150-200 students per year, leaving one to ponder what the class sizes will look like if the Board of Trustees cannot afford to hire additional teachers while receiving 200 more students. While such a scenario sounds far-fetched, it has already happened numerous times in other nearby school systems. “We have sustained our cost cutting in administrative overhead and the efficiencies that we’ve driven forward. This has been coupled with our entrepreneurial efforts to the extent that we can leverage our assets of the

the wonderful goodwill and involvement of the parents in our community who are sending us great kids will not by itself allow us to hire or retain teachers. One of my passions is ensuring that we stabilize our finances so that our teachers can know that we want them here and that they will be compensated competitively for working here. “At the same time, we recognize that an even more compelling concern is that our students are not being properly served due to our inability to offer the same levels of services and programs that students in other school districts are currently receiving. The programs that we have eliminated or foregone, notably including the International Baccalaureate Programme and Project Lead the Way, are being offered in our peer school districts and providing great experiences for students. Without Project Lead the Way, some of our students in some engineering courses of study are starting off behind their fellow college freshmen and struggling to make up the gap. This should be as unacceptable to every resident of Zionsville as it is to our staff.” Robison concluded, “People moved here because this is a great school community and is so because of the families that do the right things with their children early on and who continue to remain engaged. It is not the other way around. Great schools happen only because of great families and the high expectations that they have when they send their children to us. We are aligning our services to maximize student growth while their children are with us, but we must have adequate financial resources to make and maintain this as our community’s reality.”

ZIONSVILLE DRUMMERS MARCH TO NATIONAL ACCLAIM Writer / Cindy Argentine

With cymbals crashing, mallets flying and drums resounding, Zionsville Community High School’s Indoor Percussion made history this year, finishing first in the state and 10th in the world in their division. The state title came March 21 in Indianapolis where the group won the top score while competing against schools from around the state, including Carroll, Carmel and Greenfield-Central. “This is our program’s first state championship in anything,” said band director Tom Landrum. “It’s great to break through. It’s a big moment.” Excitement over their victory barely had time to fade before the Indoor Percussion team returned to competition April 9 and 10 in Dayton, Ohio. There, for the first time, they performed at the Winter Guard International competition, finishing 10th in the Scholastic Class A category. They competed against high schools from around the country, including 31 other semifinalists from states as far away as Florida, Nevada and New Jersey. Zionsville Indoor Percussion – also known as “ZIP” – has been around for less than 10 years. As the students themselves have admitted, it is not a well-known activity.

Chris Hodgson of the Indiana Percussion Association explains it this way: “Indoor percussion is basically marching band inside. Instead of a football field, we use a basketball court. Instead of using a full wind section, color guard and percussion, we use only the marching percussion and the stationary percussion that’s up front.” The stationary percussion is sometimes called “the pit” and includes marimbas, xylophones, vibraphone, synthesizer and electric guitar and bass.

highlight the theme, one student walked gracefully across an extra-long balance beam for the duration of the five minute show.

Orion Avery directs the percussion section of marching band and indoor percussion at the high school. In his words, “Indoor percussion is very theatrical. It has lots of pageantry. It’s a lot more than just drums in a gym.”

Each year the group performs a new show. A professional composer writes original music, and a hired drill writer designs the paths of movement. Landrum and Avery work with other music department staff to develop the show into a complete, competitive production.

This year’s show was called “Balance.” Students wore sleek burgundy and gold costumes as they physically and musically communicated the idea of balance to the audience and judges. They performed moves such as playing while leaning to one side and standing on one foot. According to Avery, that was tricky to do while holding a 40-pound instrument and concentrating on accurate rhythms. At another point in the show, the bass drummers placed their instruments vertically on the floor and laid on them, feet in the air behind them; Avery said he first got that idea when he saw a kid try it a couple summers ago. To further

To demonstrate balance musically, senior Isaac Spillman said each member had to pay special attention to the dynamic range. “We shaped almost every note of our show through many crescendos and decrescendos. We wanted to show balance between the louds and softs and control those efficiently.”

The ZIP season runs from November through April. In many ways, it is an extension of marching band season, which runs from June through October. As Director Landrum said, “The skills we introduce during the summer as we prepare for marching band season lay the foundation for what ZIP does. It picks up where marching band leaves off.” Unlike marching band which accepts all interested students, membership in ZIP is limited and requires an audition. There are

24 / ZIONSVILLE COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER / MAY 2015 / atZionsville.com

36 members this year. Even though there are no wind instruments, the xylophones, synthesizer, guitar and related elements add melodic lines and harmony. “Together they provide full-sounding music that is not just drums,” said Landrum. Most students in ZIP said they love marching band but find indoor percussion to be “even more intense.” Spillman elaborated: “It’s a smaller group, so every individual is really important.” No one can hide. Every drum beat, body movement and facial expression can be noticed. ZIP is an extracurricular activity. This year students practiced Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6-9 p.m. and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., sometimes adding Friday rehearsals. During the school day, several ZIP members are in percussion class, but the class works on much more than ZIP music. Other ZIP members are in jazz or concert band, and some even play wind instruments in those ensembles. ZIP members had to prepare physically. Early in the season, they spent 30-45 minutes of each rehearsal on general conditioning – running, sit-ups, pushups and planks. They received dancelike instruction from choreographers on things like jazz runs and proper foot position. As lead snare drummer Makayla Cooper said, “One judge, after seeing our show, asked, ‘How many yoga classes did you have to put your kids through?’”

next year. “Without indoor percussion and marching band, I would not be planning to study music,” he said. “It inspired me. I can’t imagine high school without these two activities.” Cooper agreed. “Every single person has put their blood, sweat and tears into this group,” she said. “Everyone has broken down, felt like their feet were on fire, gotten blisters – but it is

The directors know that this year’s success has raised expectations and set a higher standard for the indoor percussion program. They also see benefits for the other music programs in Zionsville. “It’s like the entire music department is in this bowl, and we just keep adding more and more stuff to it.

Proven expertise for uncertain markets.

Director Avery knows the activity is demanding for the students, but he believes it is worth it. “My goal with anything I do is to encourage strong growth and self-discipline, whether that’s through practice, decorum or teamwork. I want each individual to strive for excellence for themselves and for the whole ensemble. Indoor percussion provides a good venue to do that.” It has been life-changing for some of the students involved. Spillman, who specializes in keyboards, is planning to study music media production in college

so worth it. I want to continue with it beyond high school.”

That elevates everything. Success in one area feeds the other areas,” said Avery.

“EVERY SINGLE PERSON HAS PUT THEIR BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS INTO THIS GROUP.”

Returning students look forward to having an opportunity to defend their title next year. The directors are also looking at the possibility of advancing to a higher division sometime in the future. Class A, in which Zionsville competed, is the largest class, but it is possible to compete at an Open or World Class level. These higher divisions are for elite groups who function as innovators for indoor percussion. Shows in these categories have involved feats such as doing flips off scaffolding and using remote control cars to play drums. “There’s almost no limit to what people are going to come up with,” explained Avery. With the season behind them, students are able to look back and reflect. “Winning the state championship was all I could ask for as a senior,” said Spillman. “For me, it’s a culmination of the last four years of work, and not just my work, but the work of all the others who have participated and built these programs over the last four years.”

Writer / Janelle Morrison Photographer / JJ Kaplan

Prior to The Villages, Pierce’s work with youth began with counseling and administrative work for colleges. She was the Assistant Director of Student Activities at Western Michigan University. Afterwards, she became the Executive Director for Youth Advocate Program in Decatur, Illinois, at which she grew from a $500,000 program to a $5 million agency. Following her husband’s agribusiness career, they moved to Champaign, Illinois, where she accepted the position of Regional Director of the Children’s Home and Aid Society of Illinois, a statewide agency that is similar to The Villages. Pierce focused on that agency’s array of foster care, adoption and family services that benefitted her when she moved back to Indiana and took the position of Deputy Director of the Department of Child Services (DCS) in 1991. “When I first moved back here and worked with DCS, I learned about how the legislative process works at all levels: the executive, judicial and legislative branches,” Pierce said. “I learned about how the federal funding streams reach a state like Indiana and what we need to do as citizens to advocate for more or different funding

The Villages was established in 1978 in Indiana through an initiative of Lilly Endowment. The noted child psychiatrist Dr. Karl Menninger, who was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Carter, established The Villages’ philosophy. “Dr. Menninger felt strongly that children grew, flourished and developed best in a family,” Pierce explained. “That is foundational to what we believe and to any program or service that we provide at The Villages. Dr. Menninger’s concern was that a child who was being abused or neglected was being removed from their family. However, the child was then being placed in an institutional setting, and the question became how would that child ever learn to be a part of a functional family? Dr. Menninger established family model group homes for neglected youth in Kansas, Indiana and Michigan. The family model is based on a married couple who has felt a calling to work with vulnerable children, receive highly specific training and then are provided with a home setting along with eight to 10 neglected children. That concept was foundational to The Villages being developed in Indiana.” The Villages first board chairperson, Dr. John Pless, donated land

• 9 7% of all vulnerable families served through their Healthy Families Indiana Program have no incidence of child abuse or neglect. • F ully accredited since 1990 by the prestigious National Council on Accreditation, The Villages continues to exceed state licensing standards through its accreditation. Only 2% of the country’s nonprofit child welfare agencies meet this high standard. • 9 5% of older youth in transitional living are living independently upon discharge. • $ 0.92 of every dollar raised by The Villages goes directly to the children, youth and families served. • O ver 11,000 vulnerable children and families are impacted by The Villages’ wide array of programs and services each year. to The Villages in Bedford, Indiana, where they developed their first family model group home. “Today we have grown beyond the family group home model as we have tried to be responsive to what the communities need and to what DCS has told us that they need over the years,” Pierce stated. “When you add bricks and mortar to human services, it can easily double or triple the cost. As resources became scarce, DCS and the precursor agencies approached us and asked if we could develop a specialized foster care using the same philosophy except that the foster care families are using their own homes to provide the same service with a smaller number of children. Over time, we transitioned from family model group homes to pioneering therapeutic foster care in the private sector. Today we have almost 300 children in foster care and serve about 600 on an annual basis.” The Villages offers a full array of services from foster care, adoption, family services, transitional living, childcare, early development services, child abuse prevention and Dad’s Inc., a program that provides education to fathers so that they develop healthy relationships and positive involvement in the lives of their children. “We try to defy the odds for these children who have experienced this huge trauma of being abused, neglected and separated from

their family of origin,” Pierce emphasized. “They are often subjected to multiple moves, and we are trying to minimize that. We focus on the ideal match for the child and the foster family that we have trained, screened and licensed. We look at the geographic setting, ethnicity and spirituality of the child. If we can safely keep a child in their own school district, that is a priority for us. We want them to succeed educationally.” The foster parent selection process is really a covenant between the individuals and The Villages. “We want to make sure that the foster family’s relatives and support group are onboard as well,” Pierce explained. “How the family’s friends and family members will treat these children is very critical for all concerned. The foster parents will need a broad range of support. Some of the key qualities to be a foster parent is a love of children, an understanding of the developmental stages of children and a sense of patience. Being a parent of four children is the hardest job on my resume but is the most important one too. We don’t always write the script when we’re raising children, and that includes being a foster parent. Our foster parent cadre is just like any team. We need phenomenal bench strength of foster parents so that we can make the right match for every child and continue the stability that we’re so proud of. We have a 90 percent retention rate of our foster parents on an annual basis. Nationally, that rate is about 50 to 60 percent, and those who don’t stay on as a foster parent with us have usually adopted the child in their care.” Pierce likes to refer to this positive result as the child’s “forever family.” The Villages facilitates about 10 percent of the state’s special needs adoptions because of their culture of permanence. The Villages’ greatest challenge right now is that the state has invested a great deal in the public sector funding but not proportionately invested in the treatment of the children, which is primarily the responsibility of the private sector. “This has created an enormous challenge,” Pierce stated. “Indiana now dedicates half as much to the care and treatment of children as it did in 2008 [$40,327 per child in 2008 as compared to $20,257 per child in 2015]. Indiana now dedicates about two-thirds more per child for case management and administration as it did in 2008 [$8,346 per child in 2008 as compared to $13,406 in 2015]. “It is now a funding challenge that our board has been advocating very strongly for. We don’t want it to impact the quality that we’ve committed to providing. We want the quality of The Villages to be the same for any child that we are serving as it would be for a child in our own life. It is difficult to continue to do that with the repeated cuts. We are always in need of great folks who are considering foster parenting. Our work is about investing in children and believing that every child has a right to develop, maximize their potential and see their dreams come true.” For more information, visit villagekids.org.

DEREK DALY TALKS ABOUT CHANGING GEARS IN HIS LIFE You could say that Derek Daly is in the process of scripting his fourth chapter his life. Long gone is the first act of Daly’s life when he grew up in a middle income family in Dublin, Ireland. His second act has also been in the rearview mirror for a while. Daly’s 17-year career as a professional race car driver in the European Formula Championships, CART and Le Mans crossed the finish line in 1990. Actually Daly continues to work on the third sequence of his life story. His 24 years of broadcasting race events and stories on channels such as ESPN, Speed, NBC and CBS continue. This May, he again joins WISH-TV to serve as an expert analyst for the Indy 500. But now the 62-year-old former drive has slipped his life into another gear. All cylinders are popping after he has churned out a hot selling book and reaches dozens of national corporations with his energy-driven, passion-pumping motivational speeches that are being delivered to thousands of professionals and leaders throughout the country and abroad. “So many people are stuck in life or business, and they get afraid to move,” said Daly following a speaking engagement at a conference in Dallas in April. “If they are not careful, they can wither away. I try to give them a little boost.” 30 / ZIONSVILLE COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER / MAY 2015 / atZionsville.com

That boost or push comes from Daly’s connections as a veteran racer in Europe and the U.S. and his ongoing love affair with competitive racing – any kind of competitive racing. His speaking topics include: • Complete Champion Culture of EXTRAordinary: Driving to the Limits of Possibility – Daly explores the path from good to great and great to extraordinary. He discusses how people can be pushed to the edges and boundaries of what may be possible. • Complete Champion Leadership: How Fast Can You Get Fast? – Daly evaluates the road to success and understanding the difference between going fast and being fast. The speech includes utilizing creativity and innovation to achieve trailblazing performances.

Derek talking with his Indy car driver son Conor.

• Complete Champion Teams: How to ACCsellerate Your Team – Daly talks about the need for both buyers and sellers to pursue their best and edge more toward personal margins and boundaries. Daly urges individuals to work as teammates in their work settings. • Complete Champion FutureSCAPE: Driving to the Dream Job Offer – Daly takes his audience on a tour of what successful teams can expect from their most valued employees in the next 10 years, and he drives his audience on where an individual’s mindset can take the person. And not to be forgotten in this success-churning adventure is the title of Daly’s book, “Race to Win.” Both in writing and speaking behind the podium, Daly recalls his skills from racing. For example, “Race to Win” reviews the seven essential skills it takes to be a complete champion, either on the track or at the office.

Derek with Nascar legendary driver Richard Petty

“I use my sports background to try and provide a nugget of information and inspiration for the audience,” said Daly, who uses two national firms to book his speaking engagements and employs his website, derekdaly.com, to raise interest for future clients. “People are interested in hearing my platform of including motorsports to their success.” Daly attended his first race as a 12-year-old in Ireland. He worked as a laborer in iron ore mines while traveling the racing circuits and once lived in a school bus to cover expenses. After winning championship events in Ireland, England and other stops in Europe, Daly snared a lifetime dream by driving in the 1978 Formula One World Championship. Within two years, he was ranked 10th in the world. For most Hoosiers, they became more aware of Daly when he began racing in the Indy 500 in 1983. His six years of driving IndyCars was seriously threatened in 1984 when Daly hammered the wall at the Michigan International Speedway traveling over 214 miles per hour. After 14 surgeries and three years of therapy, Daly returned to full-time racing and twice atZionsville.com / MAY 2015 / ZIONSVILLE COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER / 31

won the 12 Hours of Sebring.

Custom Storage Solutions to Simplify Your Busy Life

“I really believe you have to live the moment,” said Daly, who squeezes in time to following the racing exploits of his son, Conor. “You never know what is around the corner.” After racing, announcing was behind the curtain for the personable Irishmen who admitted he can occasionally bring up his Irish blarney during telecasts and speaking engagements. One magazine hailed Daly as the “most popular motor sports television announcer” during his 10-year run with ESPN. He also received the 2000 Hall of Fame award from Motor Sports Ireland for his leadership in Irish motor sports.

But now comes the next chapter: public speaking to corporate America. “Derek’s book teaches lessons that it took me years to learn,” Mario Andretti wrote in the forward. “Quite honestly, the advice in this book resonates far beyond the racing industry.” Numerous company leaders agree when booking Daly to speak at their conferences and meetings. Among those who have called upon Daly are Motorola, Valvoline, Roche, Rolex, Pepsi, State Farm, Xerox and Michigan State University. “So far, we have been received really well,” Daly said. Sounds as if Daly could be headed to Victory Circle for this chapter.

With the May 22 grand opening of retailer Weekends Only, Indianapolisarea shoppers will have a new option for buying furniture. As its name implies, the St. Louis-based furniture and mattress store takes a unique approach by opening for business on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays (and special holidays) only. Company President Lane Hamm says that the concept of weekendonly shopping came from analyzing customer traffic patterns at one of its original St. Louis-area stores. Up to 80 percent of its business consistently transpired over the threeday weekend period. In an effort to decrease overhead and compete on price, management opted to limit store operations to weekend hours only and pass along the savings to its customers. The family-owned retailer launched its first Weekends Only concept store in 1997 and grew to five area locations in less than 10 years. Expanding to the Indianapolis market made a lot of sense, says President Tom Phillips. “We fell in love with the city. It has similar Midwest values, a stable, growing economy and great people.” Proximity to the St. Louis distribution center made Indianapolis an appealing option. Fishers resident and longtime furniture business executive David Gerdt has been named General Manager In Training of the new Indianapolis store. The company promotes its competitive, low price points on

first-quality and brand name furniture. They secure the deals, says Hamm, by working directly with manufacturers and by scouting for closeouts, overstocks and one-of-a-kind deals. When a brand name product is too pricey, the retailer looks for a similar item with the same or better quality and stocks it, priced to sell. The approach gives buyers bigger assortment and constantly changing online and in-store inventory. Some of the best deals are found on the Weekends Only website where shoppers can find online and in-store specials. It’s a kind of “get it while you can” approach to the shopping experience. According to the store’s own research, more than half of Weekends Only customers tend to pick up their furniture themselves rather than paying for delivery. Part of the Indianapolis store construction will include a spacious canopy on the east side of the building to serve as a loading zone for transport-it-yourself customers.

AVOIDING SECURITY DEPOSIT BLUES Writer / Jeffrey Heinzmann

Do you have a rental property in an Indiana college town that you lease to students for the year? Do you have children in college renting off-campus housing that they’ll soon be vacating after the school year to return home, head to a summer job, travel or join the “real world” workforce? If you are on either side of this equation, it’s important to remember to protect your interest regarding the security deposit that was probably paid as part of the lease.

due for early termination of the lease if the lease provided for the last payment of rent, and utility or sewer charges the tenant was responsible for but failed to pay.

If the landlord fails to return the deposit or fails to provide an itemized statement that includes item-by-item estimated costs along

Tenants, your lease likely has terms regarding termination, like when to give notice that you will be leaving and your obligations regarding cleaning and maintenance. What’s important for the security deposit return is that you provide the landlord with your forwarding address in writing. Once that is done, the landlord will have 45 days from the date you provided the address or the date you surrendered possession of the property and terminated the tenancy to return or account for the security deposit. Landlords, you took that security deposit to protect yourself. If you do not handle it properly, you could lose not only the right to claim damages against the deposit, but also attorney fees for an effort by your former tenant to recover the deposit. Once the tenancy has ended and the tenant has provided you with a forwarding address, you have 45 days to return the deposit or to send an itemized statement listing all damages claimed for which the deposit may be used. You must include the estimated cost of repair for each damaged item, along with a check or money order for any remaining amount of the deposit, if any. A landlord may only apply the security deposit to certain damages. Allowable damages include actual damages to the rental unit or any ancillary facility that are not the result of normal wear and tear (the lease might proactively identify some of these damages, including painting, carpet cleaning, etc.), delinquent rent, rent TownePost.com / MAY 2015 / TOWNEPOST NETWORK

with any remainder of the deposit to the tenant within 45 days, then the tenant may bring an action (likely in small claims court) against the landlord for the entire deposit plus attorney’s fees. Jeffrey Heinzmann is an attorney with Heinzmann Law Office, heinzmannlaw.com.

The overarching theme of Thursday Pools’ innovation is in a system they’ve developed that allows a fiberglass pool to be safely drained and still maintain a valid structural warranty. According to CFO and Co-Founder Bill Khamis, fiberglass pools are much easier to maintain, require less chemicals to maintain and are faster to install. Fiberglass pools manufactured by Thursday Pools are equipped with two patent-pending technologies, the Geo-Hydro Valve™ and the Geo-Anchor Pool Wall™.

Thursday Pools staff at their Fortville, Indiana headquarters.

Together, these technologies are known as the Fiberglass Pool Anchoring System™. This system addresses two common concerns with in-ground fiberglass pools: pool floating and bulging walls. The Fiberglass Pool Anchoring System™ innovated by Thursday Pools is revolutionizing fiberglass pool construction, according to Office Manager Anne Davis who gave me an amazing tour of their world-class facility.

Another shining aspect of Thursday Pools’ processes is that all of their materials come from North America— quality and safety are far more important to Thursday Pools than costs and profitability. This commitment to quality and safety is a key element of their rapid success, success that is evident through their extensive North American presence and in their current facility expansion project. So what factors should you consider when planning your new backyard paradise? While a lot of things come into play throughout the process, Khamis believes the most important factor is purpose. “Are you going to use it for swimming or backyard parties? Your pool’s intended purpose is an important factor to consider,” he said. No matter where your passion for poolside leisure comes from, Thursday Pools is innovating a fiberglass solution.

Russian Festival Celebrates Russian Culture old alike entitled “Welcome to Russia!” The concert will feature world class performances by Carmel’s nationally acclaimed ballet company, Indianapolis Ballet Conservatory, and also a Cincinnatibased Russian folk dance group. There will also be Russian vocal performances. This concert will be a wonderful chance to feel the overwhelming passion of the Russian spirit as expressed through its native arts.

If you’re like many Americans and your understanding of Russian culture is limited to Stoli vodka, Matryoshka dolls and the cartoon characters of Boris and Natasha in “The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show,” then you are in for a terrific opportunity to expand your knowledge and appreciation of one of the oldest and most accomplished cultures on earth. On May 23, the Russian-American Culture Center is holding its “Russian Festival” at University High School campus (2825 W. 116th St., Carmel) to benefit the Indiana Russian School. The festival will be a full day celebration of Russian culture featuring Russian art, music, dance and authentic Russian food. For adults, the day starts at 1 p.m. with a documentary about Russia which will be followed during the day with a panel discussion on “Russia Today” and a Russian movie with English subtitles. Beginning at 2 p.m., there will be a two-hour concert for young and

For the kids, there will be an interactive educational kids’ corner where they will have an opportunity to see individuals dressed in traditional Russian costumes, a chance to paint nesting dolls, participate in ballet workshops, watch Russian cartoons, a chance to write their name in the Russian language and much much more. The Russian School of Indiana was founded in 1993 by a group of Russian-speaking immigrants/parents who had a concern to keep their children engaged in their Russian heritage while they were assimilating to their new American culture. Today the school is a fully-functional non-profit, tax-exempt organization with a great team of professional instructors and energetic leaders. The number of students has grown to over 100. Classes are held on Sundays at the University High School. Many classes are geared toward children from families where Russian is spoken in the home, but it also has classes for students who are learning Russian as a foreign language. Admission to the festival is free, but access to all activities is provided with a $5 donation. Authentic Russian food and artisans’ wares will be available for purchase. For more information, visit indydeti.com or call 317-399-4685.
