BOOKS & BREWS: POPULAR PUB OPENS NEW ZIONSVILLE LOCATION

Jason Wuerfel, a former literature major and teacher, had long dreamed of opening his own bookstore. He recognized, however, that in this day and age, with online book sales taking off and local shops closing, it wasn’t a feasible business option to tackle. So, he started thinking outside the box, and with a lot of blood, sweat, tears and a successful Kickstarter campaign, in 2014 he launched Books & Brews in Indianapolis.

Fresh Picks FATHER-DAUGHTER DUO START POP-UP FARMERS MARKET IN BOONE VILLAGE

Writer / Christy Heitger-Ewing Photographer / Amy Payne

For years Leigh Ann Akard and her father Steve Akard, owners of True Value Hardware in Boone Village, had thought of possibly starting a weekday evening pop-up farmers market in the area.

“I’ve never been able to attend a Saturday morning farmers market because I’m always at work, and I know others are in the same

boat,” Leigh Ann says. “Plus, parents are often busy on Saturdays with sporting events for their kids. And some people just like to sleep in on the weekend.”

She never pursued the idea of the pop-up market, however, because Marsh was also located in Boone Village and she didn’t want to step on any toes. When the grocery chain closed its doors in early July, however, she and other retailers in the area immediately saw a decrease in foot traffic, atZionsville.com / OCTOBER 2017 / ZIONSVILLE MAGAZINE / 5

which was concerning.

“Once people’s buying habits change, or they get into a new routine, it’s hard to break that and go back to the old one,” Leigh Ann says. “We wanted to keep the Village in the top of their minds for their produce needs and food needs.”

Plus, although Meijer and Target are within driving distance, the Ackards recognized that there was no food source that was a

comfortable walking or biking distance.

With Kroger not planning to move into the Marsh space until mid-December or early January, Leigh Ann decided to fill out an application with the town to start the approval process to move forward on plans for the pop-up market. On July 26, they had their first market, offered every Wednesday from 4-7 p.m.

In a world of change, our focus is steadfast.

“We have a nice variety of items and over 20 vendors,” Leigh Ann says.

“Meats, eggs and baked goods. Plus, tons of fresh fruits and vegetables that the farmers are literally picking and bringing straight here.”

This includes peaches, corn, green beans, raspberries, blueberries, watermelon, cantaloupe, peppers and tomatoes. In addition, Oberweis Dairy offers milk services, a naturalist sells non-GMO products and another makes organic cleaners. On hand are also several local crafters who make jewelry and soap.

“That part of the parking lot smells fantastic,” Leigh Ann says.

The Ackards have reached out to local organizations and services to draw additional customers. For instance, one week the Caring Center did a household items collection. Another week Kroger held an ice cream social to celebrate National Farmers Market week. Leigh Ann also organized an electronics recycle, a document destruction day, a blood drive with the Indiana Bloodmobile and “Touch a Truck” in which children could get up close and personal with Zionsville fire trucks,

police cruisers and street & storm water department trucks. One Wednesday, the Zionsville Fire Department grilled hot dogs and had a dunk booth. Donations for that event supported “Flagpoles for Heroes” in which firefighters install flagpoles in the yards of veterans. Leigh Ann also planned a cat adoption day with the Boone County Humane Society.

“There’s an energy and excitement when the tents pop up each Wednesday,” says Leigh Ann, who has been pleased with the steady crowd of this grass-roots effort. “We hope as word spreads that foot traffic will pick up even more.”

MEET THE CREW

CREW CARWASH DELIVERS DYNAMIC CUSTOMER SERVICE, ONE WASH AT A TIME

In 1978, the company switched to an exterior-only concept, so they could deliver a fast and quick experience for the In 1948, brothers Joe and Ed Dahm started customer. Then in 1985, they opened their Mike’s Minit Man, Indiana’s first automated first location in Indianapolis on Allisonville carwash and one of only 18 in operation in Road. Through the years, they’ve added the U.S. Located in Ft. Wayne, it was initially multiple locations and currently have 23 in a full-service carwash, which included both the Indy area. interior and exterior care.

Writer / Christy Heitger-Ewing Photographer / Brian Brosmer

“Back then they would attach a chain to the vehicle and pull it through the wash on a conveyer, then hand-scrub it,” says Sally Dahm Grant, Joe’s granddaughter and current Executive Vice President of the company.

Through the years, technology has changed significantly and now includes computercontrolled equipment and touchless hot air dryers. One thing that hasn’t changed, however, is the company motto on which the founders built their business.

“My grandfather and his brother believed strongly in treating people the way you want to be treated,” says Grant, whose father, Bill, is the CEO. “That goes for both our customers and our employees.”

The family later dropped the words “Minit Man” so it read Mike’s Carwash.

“We were blessed to be here in the mid-80s when the city was vibrant and experiencing explosive growth,” Grant says.

Three years ago, Bill Dahm and his brother, Mike, went through a friendly reorganizing of the business in which they divided the locations between them. Mike took 19, many of them in Ohio. Bill kept 26, most of them in the Indianapolis area, and changed the name to Crew Carwash.

“Other than the name, nothing has changed,” Grant says. “We’re still familyowned. We’re still committed to delivering dynamite customer service. We’re still surrounded by positive, high-energy people.”

Grant, a graduate of Indiana University, worked in Chicago and Cincinnati before returning to her roots 14 years ago to join the team in a marketing capacity.

INDY METRO / OCTOBER 2017 / TownePost.com

“My grandfather always said, ‘We’re really in the people business. We just happen to wash cars,’” Grant says.

“Joe said that nobody cares about what you did last week or last year, they only remember their last visit,” adds Tom Wiederin, recruiting director for Crew for the past 17 years. “That’s why it’s vital to never become complacent so that we consistently deliver the ‘wow experience’ to customers.”

It seems to be working as Grant says when customers speak about the Crew Carwash experience, the first thing they mention isn’t how sparkling clean their car is but rather how dazzled they are by the team who washed it. That team is assembled by careful design. Many are high school and college students with stellar attitudes and winning smiles. The company also hires talented individuals into its fast-track management program, which starts at a competitive annual salary.

“The bulk of these people come from the restaurant and retail industry because they have experience managing and leading a team,” Wiederin says. “That makes them successful candidates.”

In addition, the company offers up to $2,500 of tuition assistance to college students, which they can use on rent, books or other expenses. Employees appreciate the perks and pay but mostly they like the respect they receive.

“When we survey our employees, the number one thing they like about working here isn’t the comp time or the scheduling or even the paycheck,” Grant says. “It’s their colleagues. That’s why we have good retention.”

Wiederin agrees.

“We can teach skills, but we can’t teach a great work ethic,” he says. “We make a point to hire people with happy demeanors and good attitudes.”

That happiness, in turn, extends to even the smallest, most discerning customer.

Years ago, Joe (the founder) noticed that children were scared to go through the automatic carwash. To help ease their anxiety, Joe purchased several stuffed puppets and set them out throughout the carwash, making sure to have one in the blower room so that the experience would be fondly anticipated rather than dreaded.

“That tradition started decades ago, and it’s one we’ve carried on at all our locations,” says Grant, noting that they switch out the toys every few weeks and spend thousands of dollars monthly on the fuzzy friends.

“Not many businesses have a line item budget for stuffed animals.”

Joe is now 90 and a grandfather and great-grandfather. He lives in Ft. Wayne except for the months he spends wintering in Florida.

“His attention to detail and sincere customer focus is unparalleled,” says Grant, proud to carry on the family legacy. “We strive to continue on what he started.”

PUTTING THE GARDEN TO BED IN OCTOBER

INDY METRO / OCTOBER 2017 / TownePost.com

Writer / Carrie Petty

The subtle transition from late summer to fall is one of the most beautiful times of the year in Indiana.

I have always said, “No one does fall better than Indiana!” And it’s true. The colors are so vibrant in our state. So, get out there and enjoy these autumn days. Many chores to get done right now, this is the month to put the gardens to bed for winter.

There are lots of seed heads to collect in the garden for re-sowing in the springtime, and do not forget the birds. Keep those feeders clean and full to the brim. They will be hungry as the berries get eaten and insects become less available. Begin your winter prep by cutting back perennials and cleaning up yard debris. Also, this is a great time to put down your lawn weed prevention for spring weeds. If you do not want dandelions, this is the time to treat.

This year we have a very high chance of an abundantly vibrant foliage season. Carbohydrates and sugars are not just about watching a girl’s waistline, they also have a great deal to do with the colors that appear on our Indiana foliage. When our fall season is at the peak (around October 15), we should see an abundance of reds, purples and oranges. I press leaves and bring in acorns to dry for my fall dinner table centerpieces. A little touch of gold spray paint is great on the acorn caps.

The United States National Arboretum states that, “A growing season with ample moisture that is followed by a rather dry, cool, sunny autumn that is marked by warm days and cool but frostless nights provides the best weather conditions for development of the brightest fall colors. Lack of wind and rain in the autumn prolongs the display.

Wind or heavy rain may cause the leaves to be lost before they develop their full color potential.”

We are headed for the perfect mix here in the Hoosier State this autumn.

When the days are sunny, I love to drive down the Indiana country roads and forage for great flowers to hang-up and dry for fall arrangements. I use my back-hall closet to dry flowers, because it is dark and I have a great closet shelf rod I use. Goldenrod is one of my favorites to harvest. Many believe it is what people get hay fever from but that is an honest mistake because it looks much like the culprit, Ragweed. God is an amazing creator. There are more than 100 different types of just Goldenrod.

Who knew?

IKEA FISHERS OPENS ITS DOORS OCTOBER 11

Writer / Jon Shoulders Photographer / Jamie Sangar

Representatives from the new IKEA home furnishings retail store in Fishers will be getting out their celebratory saw on Wednesday, October 11 when the store officially opens to the public at 9 a.m.

Yes, a saw – you read that correctly. In lieu of a traditional ribbon cutting, Sweden-based IKEA commemorates e ach new store opening with an official log-sawing ceremony.

“Under Swedish custom, sawing a log helps bring good luck to a new home and its INDY METRO / OCTOBER 2017 / TownePost.com

future guests,” explains Joseph Roth, IKEA public affairs manager for U.S. expansion.

“So, that’s how we inaugurate IKEA stores.”

After officially filing building plans with the city of Fishers back in November of 2015, IKEA will celebrate its grand opening less than two years later with furniture was

live music starting at 6 a.m., and a formal ceremony featuring the raising of the American, Swedish and Indiana flags and brief remarks from IKEA representatives and public officials. The store is the company’s 45th in the U.S. Customers can begin lining up to enter two days in advance of the 9 a.m. opening for the freebies and festivities – the company welcomes tents and sleeping bags, and employees typically even organize games and activities to help pass the time for those willing to wait for long stretches. If past grand openings are any indication, the store will give out a number of free sofas corresponding to the number of U.S. IKEA stores.

While the company has not announced giveaway details for the Fishers grand opening, giveaways at past openings throughout the U.S. have included armchairs, mattresses and gift cards, as well as free home delivery for those making purchases on the day of the opening.

Founded in 1943 in Sweden, IKEA specializes in affordable and mostly unassembled furniture, appliances and home accessories at more than 390 stores in 48 countries. Roth says the Fishers location, at the 116th Street exit on the east side of Interstate 69, seemed like a no-brainer when the company TownePost.com / OCTOBER 2017 / INDY METRO

seeking out the right spot for its next U.S. store a few years ago.

“Whenever we’re looking for locations for an IKEA store, we’re looking for good freeway access and visibility,” he says. “The access there on I-69 is just so easy. We wanted it to be fairly accessible to all points within the metropolitan area.”

The 289,000-square-foot store, which sits on 35 acres, features solar panels on its roof, a children’s play area inside and a restaurant that seats 325. Roth says the 250-plus employees hired for the store are mostly locals – including Indiana native Holly Davidson, who will serve as store manager – and a few transfers from other U.S. IKEA locations.

“The city of Fishers was very organized with a clear vision,” Roth says of the planning and construction process.

“They had already planned for addressing infrastructure support for anything that could go in that location, so it seemed like a great fit. People around the city are very excited and welcoming for IKEA. Many of them have shopped at other IKEA stores and recognize how it can increase the draw to other businesses in the area.”

IKEA is located at 11400 IKEA Way in Fishers, near the intersection of 116th Street and I-69. For more information, call (888) 888-4532 or go to ikea.com.

THE LEGACY OF THE 1987 PAN-AM GAMES INDIANAPOLIS CELEBRATES 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE EVENT Writer / Lynda Hedberg Thies Photos provided by the City of Indianapolis

The vision to utilize sports to revitalize downtown Indianapolis’ image was part of a strategic plan that started nearly 50 years ago. Unique opportunities along the way opened the door for the city of Indianapolis, which recently celebrated the 30th Anniversary of the Pan American Games. The 1987 Pan Am Games not only were successfully produced by the city of Indianapolis but were the most successful in Olympic history and became the catalyst that established Indianapolis as the Amateur Sports Capitol of the World.

The Indianapolis Mayors Office and Parks and Recreation Department hosted a panel discussion in August to discuss the event and the impact it had on the city.

“The City That Pan Am Built: How Indy Became the Amateur Sports Capitol of the World” featured local business and community leaders that were instrumental in the 1987 Games. The panel discussion held at Garfield Park Arts Center, featured three prominent leaders on the Pan Am Games Indianapolis Organizing Committee knowns as PAX/I. Bill Benner, now Senior Vice President of the Indiana Pacers, was a sports reporter for the Indianapolis

Star back during the games, served as the moderator for the panel which included Ted Boehm, retired Indiana Supreme Court Justice and lawyer who helped launch many of the city’s premier sporting events and Mark Miles, President and CEO of Hulman & Company, the former President of the Pan Am Games. Susan Zurbuchen, Associate Professor and Chair of the Arts INDY METRO / OCTOBER 2017 / TownePost.com

Department at Butler University, was the coordinator of the 1987 Pan Am Games Arts Festival.

“The original idea was to use sports to rebuild the city’s image was born when Congress passed the Amateur Sports Act, which was intended to create sports governing bodies for every sport rather

than allowing a few entities to control all Olympic sports and that there be a governing body for each sport,” according to Boehm, whom Benner called a visionary. “The plan was to strategically make Indianapolis an attractive place to house their headquarters and also provide the facilities that would accommodate their sports. Indianapolis was at the right place at the right time to take advantage of this change in the infrastructure, and they got to work building facilities, the Natatorium, the track and field, a cycling track and continued to build a lot of facilities that a lot of cities simply did not have.”

The city created a sports commission in the late 1970s that would later become the Indiana Sports Corporation. This level of collaboration between civic and business leaders allowed the city’s common goal of reinventing its image to take place more efficiently.

This allowed them to host the 1982 Sports Festival, which gave the country a view into what Indianapolis was creating.

This was the key event which caught the attention of the U.S. Olympic Committee.

The city utilized 3,000 volunteers.

When the 1987 Pan American Games original host, Chile’ backed out and Ecuador had to decline due to a lack of financial resources, Indianapolis received the invitation to bid on the games.

Indianapolis was awarded the games, but had the daunting task of only having two

years to pull the event off.

Despite having only half the time to organize the games, the city thrived in its quest to lead the sporting industry.

They handled political challenges involving Fidel Castro, who threatened to boycott the games, they established a plan to offer not just national media coverage but one that allowed international media coverage, raised the necessary funds and created a diverse staff, which Miles stated was critical.

The organizing committee, known as PAXI, not only raised the $33 million dollars to host the event in under two years, but they saved money with the help

of 36,000 volunteers, and they already had all the facilities in place to host the event. They put themselves in the perfect position and they pulled it off beautifully on the world’s biggest stage.

In the past 30 years, the city has played host to multiple NCAA Regional Tournaments, Final Fours and the NCAA organization eventually relocated here.

Each event cemented the city’s ability to host bigger events, including the Super Bowl in 2012. Indianapolis capitalized on the success, and with each event, the city’s image gained momentum and became the clean, green and vibrant sports “Indiashow-place” city that it is today.

DOUBLE THE TROUBLE, TWICE THE LUCK Writer / Christy Heitger-Ewing

We’ve all had bad days, but Carmel resident Gerald Miller may well take the prize for the worst one yet. In fact, all his trouble happened in the span of just a few short hours back in October 1982.

Miller, 30 years old at the time, was on active duty in the Navy, stationed as a pharmacist on board the U.S.S. John F. Kennedy.

The aircraft carrier was undergoing refitting in the Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Portsmouth, Virginia, when he made plans to go visit a friend in Norfolk. He hopped in his Chevy Vega and started down the road. Not five minutes into the trip, he noticed that an oncoming car traveling at high speeds wasn’t slowing down prior to the intersection. The hairs on the back of Miller’s neck stood on end as he quickly braced himself for the inevitable.

“I could see that the other driver wasn’t going to stop for the blinking red light and sure enough, she slammed into me, spinning my car so hard that it was turned in the opposite direction,” recalls Miller, who amazingly sustained no injuries. The same could not be said for his Chevy Vega, which was totaled.

After filling out the police report, Miller accompanied the tow truck driver to a local body shop.

“I got a good look at the gun and immediately handed over everything I had,” Miller says. That included his Quartz watch, his keys to the ship’s pharmacy, a master key to all medical spaces on the U.S.S. John F. Kennedy and his wallet, which had cash, his driver’s license, credit cards and military ID. Being wiped clean of all forms of identification proved to be Miller’s third disaster of the night as he had to find a way to prove he was the ship’s pharmacist, not a Soviet spy, to gain access to the ship. (Ultimately, his Division Officer personally identified and cleared him.)

“It was tricky because we were to be deployed to the Mediterranean in the next few days, and I had a lot of loose ends to tie up with the car and my identification prior to leaving,” Miller says. “Boy, that was a long night followed by a trying few days.”

Though Miller was single at the time, his wife of 33 years loves to have him recall the story for those who have never heard it.

“Honestly, my favorite time to share the details of that night is when I’m sitting with people who are complaining about what a rough day they’ve had,” Miller says. “I tell them, ‘Hey, I understand, but believe me, it could be worse.’”

“The driver was lowering the car down off the wrecker when suddenly two young masked men in their mid-20s ambushed us,” Miller says. “They hollered, ‘Get down on the ground!’ and then proceeded to clean out our pockets.”

Once they hear Miller’s wild and crazy tale, they tend to agree.

Nevertheless, Miller recognizes that although that night was one of the worst days of his life, it was also one of the luckiest.

Neither Miller nor the tow truck driver resisted when they saw one of the men was aiming a 38-special revolver at their faces.

“I’m lucky to be alive because I could have been killed twice in a matter of two hours,” Miller says. “After that fateful October evening, all subsequent reunions have felt sweeter.”

Jason Wuerfel, a former literature major and teacher, had long dreamed of opening his own bookstore. He recognized, however, that in this day and age, with online book sales taking off and local shops closing, it wasn’t a feasible business option to tackle.

So, he started thinking outside the box, and with a lot of blood, sweat, tears and a successful Kickstarter campaign, in 2014 he launched Books & Brews in Indianapolis.

joined the team as Chief Operating Officer. Through social media and word of mouth, the unique establishment has really taken off.

Just as Cheers’ tagline was “where everybody knows your name,” Books & Brews is “a place for people without a place,” Grooms says. “We hear it all the time.

People say, ‘I’ve never been a person who likes to go out because I’m uncomfortable in large crowds. But this place makes me feel at home.’”

Though it started out as a one-man show with Wuerfel brewing beer, bartending, serving and cleaning, the venture soon gained traction and after experiencing some success, he was able to hire a staff and even open an additional location in Zionsville.

Part of that homey vibe is attributed to the set-up, which includes games to play and books to read, not to mention fine food and drinks. But the one thing it doesn’t have are televisions, and that’s by design.

Two and a half years ago, Molly Grooms

“We want to disconnect people from technology and reconnect them with one atZionsville.com / OCTOBER 2017 / ZIONSVILLE MAGAZINE / 25

another,” says Grooms, noting that in the absence of a blaring TV, folks can actually hear the person who is seated beside them.

“It’s really cool to see two regulars who start out sitting on opposite ends of the bar, but by the end of the night, they’re playing Battleship.”

When you step inside Books & Brews, you’re surrounded by bookshelves.

“That’s the aesthetic,” says Grooms, who adds that all their books and games are donated. (Games include the classics like Sorry, Monopoly and Uno as well as roleplaying games like Dungeons & Dragons.)

They sell the books for $3 each with 10 percent of the proceeds supporting Indy Reads, a nonprofit that improves and promotes adult literacy in Central Indiana.

Books & Brews offers something for

everyone — whether you’re into books, videogames, music or a good microbrew of which there are usually 8 to 10 available daily. All the beers and menu items are named off of literary themes. For instance, they have Cream & Punishment, Clifford the Big Red Ale, Charlie the Chocolate Stout, Shogun Soba Ale and Nancy Brew & the Hoppy Boys. Food-wise, they offer variations of grilled cheese sandwiches, including Pig in the Iron Mask (smoked gouda, aged cheddar and smoking goose bacon), Hamlet (ham, smoked gouda, lettuce & tomato) and Dante’s Inferno (with habanero havarti).

“We offer a new beer every Friday,” Grooms says. “If you add up all our beers, we’ve had hundreds and hundreds of styles.”

Grooms believes that patrons are drawn to the quirky atmosphere. Plus, the Craft Beer industry is growing at a rapid rate. And then there’s the fact that the space is so versatile.

“This is a great place to study by day and unwind at night,” Grooms says.

Every demographic enjoys some offering.

All ages like to browse the book selections.

Late-20s to early-40s come in to have a drink and play games, as do new parents who bring their small children. The 40 to 60-year-old crowd like the music. And open jam night often attracts the teenage crowd.

Books & Brews participated in an Indy Brew Battle last year and won Best in Atmosphere and Best in Brewers. They’ve also claimed awards for Best Open Mic, Best Small Music Vendor, Best Bookstore and Best Special Release Beer.

The unique combination of quiet atmosphere, tasty drinks and scores of games make it an ideal spot for first dates.

And you never know where that may lead.

“Two of our customers are getting married this month at the same table where they met,” Grooms says.

Books & Brews is located at 65 Boone Village in Zionsville. For more information, visit booksnbrews.com.

Life’s more fun when you can write your own soundtrack.

Getting older doesn’t mean you have to stop doing what you love. So we encourage our residents to keep on doing their thing while we take care of the rest.

In honor of their friend, who remains CFD’s only casualty in the line of duty, the Martins answered the call and attended the fire department callout meeting.

“I don’t know if we would’ve joined the department if that hadn’t happened,” Martin says. “But now I can’t imagine doing anything else.”

In his 36 years with the Carmel Fire Department, Martin responded to countless emergencies, repaired and maintained fire engines at the station and raised a family.

That family included not only his two sons, Dave and Rick, but the Carmel Fire Department family.

Saving homes, saving lives and saving families is what retired Assistant Carmel Fire Chief Jim Martin has done for decades.

It’s a legacy he’s shared and passed down to his two sons, Dave and Rick, and now his grandson D.J., too.

In a world where every second means saving a life, there is little opportunity to take time to appreciate those who keep us safe. But through the Carmel Fire Buffs Museum, Martin is giving everyone in the Carmel community a place to honor and appreciate the men who’ve dedicated their lives to serving others.

Such was his life that he got a call from Hoosier Fire Equipment in Valparaiso about a fire truck available for sale. Jim went up to Valpo to look at the rescue truck, a 1953 Seagraves from the Kokomo Fire Department. Hoosier Fire was asking $2,000 for the truck, and Jim wanted it badly. He negotiated with the dealer who agreed to sell it for $1,000. Needing to come up with the money quickly, Jim phoned the department and told the Lieutenant to phone 10 people and ask for a $100 donation to start a Fire Buffs club. The Lieutenant found not just 10 donors but 18, and the Carmel Fire Buffs Club was born.

Now, visitors to the Carmel Fire Buffs and Fire Department Museum can see the 1953 Seagraves and a collection of other special fire rescue trucks. Each one has a story, as Jim will gladly share. Stories like the one behind the 1922 Dennis fire engine which made its way to the United States all the way from Masterton, New Zealand. Jim hasn’t been able to trace the fire engine’s full history, but once it arrived in Carmel, Martin began restoring it to its full glory.

“Our family lived there, but we were always at the station,” he adds. “We came here to celebrate birthdays, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. It’s home.

Our dispatcher at the time, Sally Lafollette, would take care of us and even changed my diaper here in the basement.”

So through the years, Jim went on raising his sons and taking care of his fire department family. Applying his mechanics skills, he helped repair and maintain the trucks and the building in between fire runs, saving the department hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. The department had not just become his family, it was his life.
