TOWNEPOST ANNOUNCES NEW “TOWNE CLIPPER” COUPON MAGAZINE AND MOBILE APP

PRINT AND MOBILE COUPONS DESIGNED TO PROMOTE LOCAL BUSINESSES Northside TownePost Network publications Geist, Fishers, Carmel and Zionsville Community Newsletters will have a new insert launching in January 2015: The Towne Clipper coupon magazine. Advertisers will be able to target a combined 70,000 homeowners through direct mailed magazines each month. A mobile app called the Townies Super Local App will accompany the print publications with mobile couponing features.

“This will be a unique offering for retailers and home services companies that use coupons to attract new and repeat business,” said Tom Britt, publisher of the TownePost Network. “Users will be able to present their print coupons or redeem the offers via our mobile app that allows advertisers to have real-time, on-site coupons.”

Through the mobile app, users can “check-in” and see what offers are available to them based on their GPS location. Likewise

advertisers can determine which coupons are available to users based on the day of the week, time of day, and whether or not coupons can have multiple redemptions. All app activity is then reported back to the retailers monthly to help fine tune coupon offerings and messaging.

“Redeeming coupons on a mobile phone is old news. Our app goes a step further by enticing locals to socialize their experience by sharing their check-ins through their Twitter and Facebook posts,” added Britt.

There will be two versions of the Towne Clipper print insert: One for the 35,000 Zionsville and Carmel community newsletters and one for the 35,000 Fishers and Geist community newsletters.

release revenue figures, it is very likely the franchise has increased sponsorship sales income by five to six times since 1997.

• Inventory and coverage of Colts products have risen from basically only game coverage in 1997 to a staggering nine hours on game day, weekday in-season updates on Emmis Communication properties and a year-round weekly onehour radio show.

• The Colts radio network has expanded from only 20 stations to over 50.

ZIONSVILLE RESIDENT QUARTERBACKS COLTS' SALES TEAM Writer / Ray Compton Photos provided by Indianapolis Colts

It was the winter of 1998, and two big questions were confronting Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay, new president Bill Polian and longtime front office executive Pete Ward.

The first issue was grabbing the headlines, dominating the conversations and spurring the debates. Should the Colts use their No. 1 draft selection to take Tennessee quarterback Peyton Manning? Or should the franchise creep out on the diving board and perhaps take a bigger risk with a potential huge upside? Would Irsay and Polian snap up strong-armed Ryan Leaf with that franchise make-or-break top draft pick?

History loudly tells the answer. The Colts went the safer route and scored a touchdown when they selected Manning.

There is no need to retell the different stories that transpired between the two quarterbacks.

But there was another question haunting Irsay and Ward, his chief business aide: What should the Colts do with their expiring radio and television contracts? Do

they take the safe route and again sell off the broadcasting and television rights to local entities (WIBC in radio and WTTV in football)? Or do they roll the dice, trash the guarantee payments and assume the upside or downside and sell their own advertising in the small marketplace that could lose its franchise to Los Angeles or other aspiring rivals?

This time, Irsay and Ward chose to gamble.

They walked away from the financial guarantees and started selling their own commercial time. Starting in 1998, the Colts basically conformed into a radio/television/ billboard company.

Sixteen years later, the business decision from Irsay and Ward has echoed with the same success as the selection of Manning.

Thanks to Zionsville resident Jay Souers and his sales team, the Colts have scored major victories on the marketing front. Consider: • Sponsorship sales (Lucas Oil Stadium signage; website sales; radio and television advertising; and promotional activities) have exploded upwards. Once near the bottom of the NFL in broadcast revenues, the gross figures have soared under Souers et al. Though the franchise doesn’t

• With their own studio at West 56th Street (sponsored, of course, by Indiana Farm Bureau), the Colts produce two weekly television shows during the season. One extends into the other 32 weeks of a year.

• The team website has repeatedly enrolled huge unique visitors a month.

• And, naturally, there is the continuing sellout of home games that is authored by both the sponsorship and ticket selling teams. Since 1998, the club has failed to sellout only one home game.

Indeed, the same passion produced by the Colts on Sunday afternoons has carried into the sales world according to Souers, the teams Senior Vice President of Sponsorship.

“We have a great group [of marketing/ sales executives] that plays with passion for the horseshoe,” praised Souers, who enlists a vice-president of sales, six sales representatives, four coordinators and a chief administrative assistant.

“I truly believe we have the most complex media sales job in the city,” said Souers. “Our staff sells and has to have a working knowledge of radio, television, print, community relations programs, promotional event sponsorships, ticket sales, electronic video boards and video and static billboards.”

That wide array of knowledge and strategy

by Souers and his team represents a dramatic shift for the Indiana University graduate whose first position was cold

calling for Indianapolis Life.

“After a year, I was a little tired of the phone slamming in my ear,” he said.

Following a traveling job as a representative for a fan belt and radiator hose company, Souers and a friend took the plunge into small business. They started an ice cream company at the City Market.

“The bright spot was getting to serve Wayne Gretzky [then an 18-year-old with the Indianapolis Racers] ice cream when he played at Market Square Arena,” Souers said. “That was the only bright spot as we lost money quickly.”

That led Souers to the media sales world.

Stops included WNAP, WFBQ, WFMS, the Indianapolis Business Journal and CEO Magazine. The sales trail eventually led to a marketing opportunity at Old Indiana Fun Park, north of Indianapolis. Hard knocks, but some success would follow.

Jay with Susie Peters

“I had a staff of two sales people and an assistant,” he said. “But I used every trick that I had learned and we actually doubled the attendance the first year and showed a positive cash flow. Unfortunately, the owner was not willing to reinvest in the park and he pulled the profits. The safety of the guests started to be a problem.”

Following that stint, Souers turned to a familiar face at home and in the community.

His father, Bernie, was the sports manager

at WTTV, home of Indiana, Purdue and the Pacers. The elder Souers worked at WTTV for 44 years before retiring.

“It was great fun getting to work with dad before he retired,” said Souers, whose father died last summer. “He passed so much wisdom to me that ultimately helped me so much in my job as a manager and in life. I was content at WTTV, but my dad left, and an opportunity came along that I could not pass up.”

That opportunity was the Colts, who were studying ways to improve their lagging sales. Ward, another Zionsville resident, plotted the strategy of revamping his sponsorship sales team.

Souers was offered the opportunity to join the NFL. But there was no Icky Shuffle or touchdown celebration dance just yet on the home front. Souers and his wife, Julie, had triplets who were 5 years old and his new job came at a $30,000 decrease in salary.

“I came home to tell Julie that I wanted to leave my secure job at WTTV, take a paycut and start working for the Colts who were in the middle of a media firestorm about moving to Los Angeles,” he said.

Eventually, Souers got his decision

clinched after meeting one-on-one with Irsay and learning that there were no moving vans booked from Indianapolis to Los Angeles. In fact, with a new lease signed for the RCA Dome in November 1997, the Colts aggressively pursued additional fronts in the revenue battles that stared at a small-market team.

But his story has a happy ending.

Coinciding with back-to-back Super Bowl appearances, numerous division titles and countless 12-win seasons, the Souers gang have scripted win after win in the sales arena. They secured Founding Partners for a new stadium; carved out a $120 million naming rights deal with Lucas Oil for the stadium; and have collected longterm partnerships with Budweiser, CocaCola, Huntington Bank, H.H. Gregg, Hoosier Lottery, Toyota, Indiana Health and a bevy of other title sponsors such as Vectren (Radio Network), Advantage Health (a club level sponsor) and Training Camp (Tire Barn).

Of course, Souers has witnessed some changes at home and in the office. He sees a new generation taking over in life. His triplets– sons Kody and Kol and daughter Amy– are 23 and involved in sales and marketing activities in Indianapolis. And another line of Irsays, Jim’s three daughters, are now helping steer the ship.

DR. ANDY ANDERSON EXPLAINS

THE SCIENCE OF EBOLA Writer / Janelle Morrison Photographer / JJ Kaplan

Endocrinologist, Diabetologist, and retired Lt. Col. in the U.S. Army Medical Corps are only a few titles that James “Andy” H. Anderson Jr., MD, FFPM, FACE is a husband and father of three has listed in his resume. Dr. Anderson is also the Medical Director for PTS Diagnostics, Inc., a U.S.-based manufacturer of pointof-care diagnostic products that is located on Zionsville Road. Anderson recently weighed in on the topic of the infamous Ebola virus and on his experience with infectious diseases.

Anderson was one of the last of the drafted physicians in 1971. It wasn’t a popular practice for physicians to volunteer for the military so the draft had a program where physicians were deferred to do part or all of their postgraduate medical training.

Anderson was deferred for his internal medicine and endocrinology medical training. The military benefited from having doctors who were not just day-one graduates from medical school but fully trained physicians.

“At that time, I was very attached to research and academic medicine and had the opportunity to go to Fort Detrick, in Frederick, Maryland,” Anderson said.

“Several other endocrinologists had been

there because USAMRIID (United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases) was doing similar work to what I had conducted research on during my fellowship at LSU and the Medical College of Virginia in terms of the affect of infection and toxic shock on carbohydrate metabolism and insulin secretion.

“About the same time that I went up to Detrick, they got a new commander who asked me if I would take the medical division on a temporary basis and I declined. I told them that if he wanted to give me the medical division then I’ll do that but I don’t want to be a ‘temporary’ anything, so I wound up being the head of medicine. While infectious disease isn’t closely related to diabetes, it was a marvelous opportunity for me to learn a lot of new things.”

He served at Fort Detrick from 1976 to 1980.

According to Anderson, the medical personnel at Fort Detrick worked with a number of vaccines and drugs that had been developed and that were all kept at the Investigational New Drug (IND) stage rather than the New Drug Application (NDA) stage. The reason being that the people that they were intended for were so limited, primarily laboratory personnel at Detrick who required immunization

because they were working with these diseases to develop methods for prevention, detection and treatment.

The treaties that President Nixon signed in 1969 and 1971 clearly stated that the U.S. would never engage in a first strike with biological weapons so the work performed by the physicians at Fort Detrick was strictly for defensive preparedness. Historically, Fort Detrick was the center of the U.S. biological weapons program from 1943 to 1969. Since the discontinuation of that program, it has hosted many elements of the program. The fort is home to the USAMRIID and their bio-defense agency.

It had the Department of Agriculture’s plant diseases facility on site, as well as the Army’s East Coast Telecommunications Center.

“During the years that I was at Detrick, the world had dangerous hemorrhagic fevers such as; Bolivian Hemorrhagic fever, Lassa, Marburg as well as other various diseases like Malaria, Dengue, Rift Valley Fever, etc., that could in fact be potential biologic weapons,” he said. “I participated in a lot of work in developing various vaccines and drugs and was, at the same time, responsible for our medical facilities.

“Had Ebola taken place pre-1980, the patients probably would have come to Detrick and we might have been able to limit the exposure to others.

atZionsville.com / NOVEMBER 2014 / ZIONSVILLE COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER / 13

One of the issues with the patients going into modern area hospitals, is that while the staff there may have had training that includes a few hours of watching films, and instructions on bio-protective clothing, etc., it’s not something that they have practiced on a daily basis for years. Where as my group at Fort Detrick, this is what we did day and day out, for several years as a career.”

Fort Detrick had a medical facility that was basically two hospital rooms inside a completely contained unit inside of the building and the rooms were at negative air pressure to the hallway and the outside so movement of air was always going in to prevent the escape of any infectious materials. The air exhaust from the rooms went thru an incinerator and any liquid or water from the room went thru a concrete pipe that was 12 inches thick all the way around to another incinerator.

“Anything that was solid only made it out of the rooms by going thru an autoclave,” Anderson explained. “I had a suit that was similar to the suits that they wear now but I had a hood with an air hose so I was positive pressure to the patients. Upon exiting the patient’s room, I went thru a shower that was basically bleach and acid to decontaminate the outside of the suit.

After that, I went thru a regular shower and everything that I had been wearing went out thru the autoclave. This level of bio-containment is what is needed to be comfortable with what you’re doing and a typical community hospital usually doesn’t have that kind of facility or training.”

Anderson described in great detail the protocol that he and his staff created and performed when dealing with infectious viruses and bacteria.

“Having only those two rooms to use for patients had the potential of not being enough and so I talked to the people at the Vickers Corporation in the U.K. who had developed these plastic bubbles that went around a bed, a smaller one that could be put in an airplane and an even smaller one that could be around a stretcher in an ambulance.

“There was absolute, or what was termed P4 containment. Once the individual was in there, they are sealed in there and there is no way of anything getting out. There is a HEPA like filter for air passage in, sealed glove ports for handling and ports for giving the patient food etc without breaking the seal and when taking the waste out, it would go through the port in a sealed bag so that there is no chance of anything getting external exposure. The book Hot Zone by Richard Preston came out and was followed by the movie ‘Outbreak’ that featured Dustin Hoffman, who basically played my role at Fort Detrick. It was a fictional story that was inspired by the procedures and processes that we were implementing at Detrick. However, when my staff and I went to see the movie, we noted several dozen actions that they did wrong but it did represent a general overview of what was going on at Detrick.”

Throughout his tenure at Fort Detrick, Anderson worked on the containment procedures and the academic study of anything that could have been considered a bio-agent such as anthrax, botulism, etc. He studied what the bacteria or virus did, how

it replicated and how it could be transferred.

Then he began his research on developing a treatment or vaccine.

Anderson explained that Ebola was first recognized in 1976 when two outbreaks of the disease occurred simultaneously, one in Sudan and one in the Democratic Republic of Congo in a village near the Ebola River from which the virus derived its name.

“The Ebola virus is a member of the Filoviridae virus family,” he said. “There are five species of Ebolavirus, also named after the location where they were first identified: Zaire ebolavirus, Bundibugyo ebolavirus, Sudan ebolavirus, Tai Forest ebolavirus, and Reston ebolavirus. Only the first three have been associated with human outbreaks causing deaths in Africa. Tai Forest Ebolavirus has infected one person who survived the disease. The virus associated with the current, multi-country outbreak in Africa is the Zaire species.

“The viral host of Ebola virus is thought to be fruit bats of the Pteropodidae family.

The introduction of the Ebola virus into human populations is from close contact

Prior outbreaks have been in more remote villages in Africa. The current outbreak (with the most cases and more deaths than all previous outbreaks combined) has affected more urban areas, and starting in Guinea has spread to Sierra Leone and Liberia. There have been a few infected, but asymptomatic travelers who have become ill after arrival in other African countries (Senegal and Nigeria) as well as Europe and the U.S. Human-to-human transmission of Ebola is by direct contact through broken skin or mucus membranes (eyes, mouth) with the blood, secretions, organs, or bodily fluids of infected people or their clothing or bedding contaminated with these fluids.

Ebola is not transmitted by causal contact or airborne sources like the flu, and infected people are not contagious until they have symptoms. The incubation period, the time from infection to onset of symptoms, is with the blood, secretions, organs or other two to 21 days with most people becoming bodily fluids of infected animals such as symptomatic in the first seven to 10 days. chimpanzees, gorillas, monkeys, fruit bats or First symptoms are sudden onset of fever, forest antelope in the rainforest areas. fatigue, muscle pain, headache and sore

throat. These symptoms are later followed by vomiting and diarrhea, and later by kidney and liver failure with internal and external bleeding.�

There are not yet any proven effective vaccines or specific treatments for Ebola virus, but multiple companies and institutions around the world are working intensively on gaining understanding of the disease, developing drugs that can be effective in destroying the virus or reducing its effect, and in developing both human and animal vaccines. Three potential human vaccines will begin human testing in the next few months. Several anti-viral drugs have been used experimentally with mixed results. Early and intensive supportive care with rehydration significantly improves survival. Several patients who have done well have been treated with transfusions of plasma containing anti-Ebola antibodies from patients who have recovered from Ebola virus disease.

“Quarantine of exposed individuals, isolation and supportive care of infected people, strict avoidance of direct contact with infectious materials and fluids, and effective education to eliminate human contact with dead or dying animals potentially infected with Ebola will be the most effective solution to eliminating the current outbreak,” said Anderson.

About that fifth species of Ebola virus identified in the U.S, while investigating an outbreak of Simian hemorrhagic fever in crab-eating Macaque monkeys imported from Indonesia via a holding facility in the Philippines to Hazelton Laboratories in Reston, Virginia, an electron microscopist from USAMRIID discovered filoviruses in the tissue samples.

In summary, Dr. Anderson stated, “The better the health that you’re in and the earlier that you get treatment, the more likely you are to survive a disease like Ebola. As concerned citizens, health care providers, etc., supporting the efforts of the organizations and groups that are working directly with the epidemic in Africa is the best thing we can do to prevent the spread of the problems associated with the epidemic, rather than only placing the focus on preventing the epidemic from coming here. Africa has at least 2,000 orphans whose parents have died from Ebola and the children are now stigmatized and abandoned. For the few people who have been exposed in the U.S. and are in quarantine, they should remain in quarantine for the 21 days and when flying, in addition to screening and taking temperatures, we are all relying on the integrity of travelers to be truthful.”

While Indiana is not a native home to fruit bats, gorillas, chimpanzees or forest antelope or Ebola virus, residents can eliminate their risk of exposure to other diseases by avoiding contact with ill or dead animals.

Unless you or someone close to you is a humanitarian aid worker working in Sierra Leone, Guinea, and Liberia or along side a patient who has been recently named in the news media, your risk of contracting the Ebola virus is significantly minimalized. People should be proactive in remaining informed. Education is the best weapon to eliminating fear, developing solutions and saving lives.

isolated the filovirus, which was identified as a member of the Ebola family and named Reston Ebola virus (RESTV). Despite close human exposure, the Reston Ebola virus has not caused illness in humans, although it is lethal in monkeys.”

At 9 a.m. on Tanksgiving morning before helping themselves to their Tanksgiving meal, 18,000 Hoosiers and their families will serve others frst by participating in the 12th annual Drumstick Dash.

DRUMSTICK DASH from 1,300 for the inaugural race to 18,000 runners and walkers last year. When Chief Development Ofcer Steve Kerr proposed the idea over 12 years ago to hold a race on Tanksgiving Day, he had no idea it would grow to be so popular. Te Drumstick Dash is the second largest in the state, second only to the 500 Festival Mini-Marathon.

Tis race, benefting Wheeler Mission, has grown into one of the top 10 events in the U.S. for Tanksgiving Day running events.

Te most important part of the Drumstick Dash is raising awareness of the services and support that Wheeler Mission provides.

“Tanksgiving is the number one day of Tey have been serving the homeless in the year for races, with July 4th being the Indianapolis for 121 years. Current numbers second most popular,” said Wheeler Mission indicate there are approximately 1,900 Marketing Director Brian Crispin. homeless. With zero government support, 100 percent of their funding is from community Te number of participants has increased support – 80 percent is from individuals and

the remaining 20 percent comes from grants, corporate gifs and fundraising events such as the Drumstick Dash.

With feeding on average 1,000 homeless men, women and children every day at the cost of $2.25 a meal, the seasonal spike is approaching. Te Drumstick Dash is welltimed as the need during the winter months increases dramatically.

Crispin himself is a product of success of Wheeler Mission programs. Seeking help for his drug and alcohol addiction, Wheeler Mission helped him overcome his addiction.

“Tere are many others like me who have benefted from our services,” said Crispin.

CIRCLE OF LIGHTS® A DOWNTOWN TRADITION

Writer / Tonja Talley

Magic and excitement will again permeate the air around Monument Circle, during one of Central Indiana’s most treasured holiday traditions, the Circle of Lights.

Presented by Quality Connection and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) #481, the 52nd Circle of Lights will kick of the holiday season, starting at 6 p.m. Friday, November 28, with a free family-oriented celebration.

From the Friday evening afer Tanksgiving until early January, millions of spectators will take in the brilliant displays around Monument Circle.

In the middle stands the centerpiece, a 284 foot Christmas tree, standing lit as a symbol of peace and brotherhood. Every year I have stood in awe of that, and I have prayed a prayer of thanks for the teams of individuals who have contributed their time to give such joy. I’d like to tell you what just a small percentage of individuals have done behind the scenes for the Circle of Lights.

Decorations on the Monument have been a holiday tradition since 1945. World War II

had just ended, and Christmas was nearing.

Indianapolis architect Edward D. Pierre envisioned the Monument lit up in lights and decorations, standing as a symbol of peace and brotherhood. For the next 17 years, Christmas trees, giant candles and small toy maker shops brightened the Circle’s base, while elegant banners with phrases such as “Peace on Earth Good Will, Toward Men” clung to the Monument’s botom section.

It wasn’t until 1962 Pierre’s vision of lights strung from the top of the Monument to its base became a reality. As I have mentioned, many people and organizations have played a role in designing, fabricating, installing and implementing the celebration décor.

Initially, a group called the Indianapolis Christmas Commitee, or the Indianapolis Holidays Commitee, started the mission of what today is called the Circle of Lights.

Tis mission today is the responsibility of Downtown Indy, Inc. Te union electricians of IBEW #481 have always been the organization to install and remove the décor. Two hundred of these volunteer electricians utilize more than six miles of electrical wire, 52 garland strands and 4,784 lights to produce Indiana’s

holiday centerpiece.

In a chat with Julia Saltsgaver, Quality Connection Executive Director, she told me the electricians work one strand at a time hoisting up the most northern strand frst.

Ten the most southern strand goes next.

Te project continues with this north-tosouth rotation going in a counter-clockwise direction until completed. By handling the strands in this manner, great care is taken to protect the structure and integrity of the Indiana Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument in the transformation process.

“Te contractors of Quality Connection and the IBEW #481 electrical workers are thrilled to provide their talent and skill to make sure that the Circle of Lights brings holiday joy for everyone,” Saltsgaver said.

Te free celebration festivities start at 6 p.m. with the televised portion of the program running from 7-8 p.m. Te Monument lightup will occur at approximately 7:50 p.m.

Te celebration incorporates local acts from dancers to choral groups, to singers and musicians, all of whom were selected back in early October from a panel of judges in a format similar to the American Idol auditions.

For the third year in a row, the nine member band from Mount Pleasant Christian Church, led by Brian Tabor, has been selected as the house band. Based out of Greenwood, the group will rock the night away with Christmas tunes in a variety of styles, including R&B, pop and classic rock.

“Yes,” she said, smiling. “We are also excited to have Indy’s own Josh Kaufman, 2014 winner of Te Voice, to headline the Circle of Lights. Additionally, professional performers appearing at the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra’s IPL Yuletide Celebration will take the stage. It’s going to be a spectacular show!”

“We are honored to serve as the house band for Circle of Lights again this year.

Our team is hard at work, preparing music that will help us ring in the season of Christmas,” said Tabor. “We are thrilled to be a part of such a special event in the life of our city. It has become one of the highlights of our year. If you have never been to the Circle of Lights, I encourage you to check it out. It is an unbelievable experience.”

A lucky child each year is selected from a coloring contest to help “fip the switch” with Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard.

Nearing 7:50 p.m., the spectator’s anticipation builds. “What’s that sound?” a litle boy screams from the crowd.

Siting down with Jennifer Hanson, Downtown Indy Senior Communication Director, I asked if the rumors were true.

“Ho, ho, ho!”

It’s the jolly man himself! Santa!

And as the child, Santa and the Mayor fip the switch, I’m sure I’ll hear Santa saying, “Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!”

BOTTOMS UP Writer / Marcia Vigren

Four days later, Springer’s very frst Botoms Up prototype was created in his stand-alone An icy cold beer straight from the tap… garage in Washington state. Afer taking yum! Waiting in a half-hour line at the a week of work to create a refrigerator Colts game to acquire said libation…yuck! dispensing unit, he was able to try it out at Tanks to Josh Springer and his Botoms Up a local festival where it was a huge success. creation, the line is reduced or eliminated, Springer never went back to work, and and the icy cold beer has a perfect head.

GrinOn Industries was born. In 2011, the company moved to Indianapolis to be closer Let’s start from the beginning…2008. to their suppliers and more centrally located.

At Josh Springer’s dad’s birthday party, Springer envisioned a beer being flled from How exactly does Botoms Up work? you the botom of the glass and announced ask. Let’s start with the cup. To fll a cup how cool such a device would be. Knowing from the botom up, there needs to be a his personality, Springer’s dad challenged hole in the botom, correct? But a hole in him, saying: “If it could be done, somebody the cup is needed during the flling process would have already done it.” then needs to be sealed during the drinking process, right? Right. So Springer infused a

metal ring around the hole in the botom of the cup and stuck a strong magnet on top.

Let’s move on to the dispensing system.

When the cup is pushed down onto the nozzle, it pushes the magnet up and allows beer to fow into the cup until it is full, at which time the system stops. When the operator is ready to grab the beer, she pulls the cup up of the nozzle, and the magnet foats back down to seal the hole before more than a thimbleful of beer spills out into the drain. How cool is that?

Even beter for the user is the fact that Botoms Up produces a perfect foam head, meaning less foam needing to be poured out. Even beter is that multiple beers can

More beer is sold, and hardly any beer is wasted. Te customers beneft from shorter lines, the perfectly poured beer and a reward souvenir magnet for drinking all their ale.

Even advertisers can beneft by placing their logo onto the magnets.

Banker’s Life Fieldhouse is an example of how Botoms Up can beneft a venue. With the Botoms Up System, their beer sales increased by 30 percent, their mixed drinks increased by 30 percent and they did it with nine less kegs.

It’s genius!

Tat’s exactly how I would describe Springer – genius. He never fnished college – not because he couldn’t, but rather because he didn’t need to. He invented the product, created the business and even developed the assembly lines.

But that doesn’t mean he didn’t encounter obstacles.

“Doing something that’s never been done before and geting people to understand and wrap their minds around it [was a challenge],” Springer said. “For example, it was difcult to fnd a manufacturer for the dispenser or cups, so we decided to just do it ourselves.”

Botoms Up dispensers have found residence in 49 states (except stubborn Rhode Island), Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Italy, Scandinavia, Germany, Norway and soon the UK. Growth is in the future for GrinOn Industries, according to Springer. Tey are also working on producing reusable glassware and pitchers for their systems and expanding their home units (yes, you can have a system in your basement!) and commercial sales. Tey are currently in a fundraising stage and looking for accredited investors.

I encourage you to check out their website at BotomsUpBeer.com, at the very least, for a visual of how the system works.

Cheers!

Zionsville’s Lauren Lowrey is the Face of Morning News 34 / ZIONSVILLE COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER / NOVEMBER 2014 / atZionsville.com

“ I’M OBSESSED WITH ZIONSVILLE. MY COMMUTE IS 19 MINUTES. IT NEVER CHANGES. I DRIVE THROUGH MAIN STREET EVERY DAY. TO ME, IT IS SUCH A QUINTESSENTIAL PART OF THE SEPARATION BETWEEN WORK TO HOME.” Writer / Rebecca Wood Photographer / JJ Kaplan

Lauren Lowrey, weekday morning anchor for WISH-TV, stands at her front door. She welcomes guests with her signature smile, the same one that shines through the TV screen.

It’s midday, and she just arrived home from work. If she’s tired from her 2 a.m. wake-up call, it doesn’t show. She bops around the house and engages in a lively conversation with the ease of one well rested.

Lowrey is a Zionsville transplant with Southern roots. She hails from Pawleys Island, South Carolina. Florida State University is her alma mater.

A career in TV news was not in Lowrey’s original plans. She entered Florida State as a Theater major, but a broadcasting course changed her path. After the first class, Lowrey phoned her mother and proclaimed, “This is what I’m going to do for the rest of my life. This is what I want to be.”

Lowrey refers to herself as a busy bee. And after listening to this petite powerhouse, few would disagree. Lowrey is not only a broadcaster; she is a talented vocalist, skilled chef, budding triathlete and a seasoned home renovator.

Two months after graduation, Lowrey landed a job at her hometown station in Myrtle Beach. Reporting in a beach community included hurricane coverage.

Lowrey remembers covering several storms for up to 13 hours straight.

Talking with Lowrey is like gabbing with a girlfriend. She flutters between topics and gushes over her favorites. But when the conversation turns to Zionsville, her adopted hometown, Lowrey becomes animated.

“I was out on the beach. You can’t imagine how cold you can feel. You are soaking wet,” she said. “Then comes sustained wind at 80 to 90 miles an hour. The sand is hitting you in the face. It is miserable!”

“I’m obsessed with Zionsville,” said Lowrey.

“My commute is 19 minutes. It never changes. I drive through Main Street every day. To me, it is such a quintessential part of the separation between work to home.”

In 2008, Lowrey ditched hurricanes for snowstorms when she moved to Toledo, Ohio for a morning anchor position.

She chuckles when she recalls referring to a particularly chilly October day as “winter.”

Her Toledo producer scoffed, “Winter? This is fall!”

Lowrey laughs, “I thought, ‘Oh, I’m in for it.’

I didn’t even own a coat!”

In 2011, Lowrey acquired a position with WISH-TV. Within seven months of her move to the station, Lowrey secured the morning anchor spot on “Daybreak.”

Lowrey and her husband, Blake Lewis, toured around the north side looking for that perfect home.

“When we pulled onto Main Street, I slapped Blake and said, ‘This is where we are moving,’” said Lowrey. “It felt like a Hollywood backlot!”

Lowrey and Lewis purchased a 50-year-old “well-maintained” house in the village. Over the next three years, they remodeled every square inch of the home by themselves.

Lewis, who used to build houses and currently works in insurance, enlisted his wife in the process.

Lewis refers to his wife as the “cut man.”

“But I only cut wood, not tile,” Lowrey adds.

“I’m a greater painter.”

atZionsville.com / NOVEMBER 2014 / ZIONSVILLE COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER / 35

She recounts all of her contributions to the remodel including the 40 hours she spent painting the exterior of her house alone.

“Our mantra is why pay someone to do something we can do ourselves?” says Lowrey.

The couple had little time to savor their handiwork; they sold that house in October. They just moved into another 50-year-old home within the village with plans to remodel. And so their process begins again. Lowrey admits that real estate investing is their shared passion, and they plan to continue to show love to older homes.

minutes later, Lewis entered the studio and enrolled in Lowrey’s classes.

Lowrey laughs, “He paid a lot of money to hold my hand every Tuesday.”

The couple married in Ireland in 2012. They are parents to Tyce, a six-year-old Belgian

Malinois.

Lowrey recently re-signed with WISH-TV. Her morning anchor position is secure for the next few years. She addresses the news that WISH-TV will lose its CBS affiliation starting in January.

When Lowrey isn’t clutching a power tool, she is engaging in her favorite pastimes. She is an accomplished vocalist who regularly sings at Pacer and Fever games. Lowrey admits that singing the national anthem is terrifying.

“It makes me extremely nervous,” she said. “If I screw up, I’m a YouTube video! Blake calms me down. After a couple of notes, I’m fine.”

Rock Your Holidays With Confidence.

Lowrey cooks too. Her husband says her dishes rival those prepared at restaurants. Mexican food is her specialty.

“Cooking is the only completely sensory experience we ever do,” said Lowrey. “It is a de-stressor, and you get to create. Then you’re eating; what’s wrong with that? It makes it even more enjoyable.”

Last summer, Lowrey and Lewis participated in their first sprint triathlon at Eagle Creek Park. Lowrey walked away with a fourth place in her age division. She was “hooked” and hopes to participate in a Half Ironman within the next year.

Lewis and Lowrey met over eight years ago. Lewis was walking into a Subway when he saw Lowrey teaching ballroom dance lessons at a studio next door. Five

“I think a lot of people have this misconception that we’re closing our doors. We’re not closing the doors.

We’re going to continue to do news and more news at that.”

Lowrey touts the fact that WISH-TV has been a consistent news presence in Indianapolis for almost 60 years and plans to bring that same level of newsgathering and reporting for years to come.

With the upcoming changes, Lowrey will increase her airtime. Beginning in January, she’ll be reporting from 4:30 a.m. to 9 a.m on weekdays.

Lowrey and Lewis are thrilled to have more years in Zionsville.

“Zionsville represents for us a great lifestyle and ease of living,” Lowrey says and flashes a smile.

Zach, Beth, Faith, Max, Rachel & Marshall

VOLUNTEERING FOR SALVATION ARMY CAN BE A FAMILY AFFAIR When Max and Beth Murphy volunteered to collect coats at Lucas Oil Stadium seven years ago, it was the beginning of a family tradition. The entire family, including Marshall, 15, Zach, 14, Faith, 8, and Rachel, 7, has become regular volunteers for The Salvation Army in both Hamilton and Marion counties.

them to look beyond themselves and say, ‘Life isn’t just about me and what I can get out of it, but what can I do to look beyond myself,’ especially when people are in different life situations than they’re in. It’s helping them expand their vision of what’s going on in the world.”

Max is known better as “Pastor Max” at Carmel Lutheran Church, where he has been a music leader since the family moved to Carmel 10 years ago. After a trip to southern Indiana with his church band to perform at The Salvation Army’s sprawling Hidden Falls Camp, Max became more familiar with the international organization and its work in Indiana. As a home educator, Beth was seeking enrichment activities for their children that would impart life lessons and help others.

From ringing bells at the O’Malia’s down the road to sorting coats behind the scenes at Coats for Kids, the entire family has lent a hand at a variety of events over the years. Marshall, who’s positive attitude and volunteer spirit earned him The Salvation Army’s Youth Volunteer of the Year Award in 2012, loves helping kids choose coats or parents find the perfect gifts for their kids at Toy Shop each December.

“I really see the benefits,” Max said when describing the effect that volunteering as a family has had on his kids. “The kids see us involved and giving. It’s not about us all the time. We really want

“I would definitely encourage people to at least try it out because you’re going to get a lot out of it, helping people out and spreading God’s love,” said Marshall.

He and Zach have spent years volunteering, and Faith and Rachel are ready to follow in their brother’s footsteps.

“For them it’s more of the excitement, the anticipation,” said Beth. “Some things they’re not able to help with because they’re little. ‘Can we go this year?’ and ‘When can we do Coats for Kids?’ They definitely look forward to doing some of the things that their brothers have done.”

The whole family was able to volunteer at a special event at the Ruth Lilly Women and Children’s Center, a shelter in downtown Indianapolis that is part of The Salvation Army’s Block of Hope. Carmel Lutheran helped stage a carnival at the shelter – complete with games, a red kettle bounce house and grilled hot dogs – to bring some fun and joy to families in desperate need of a little extra light in their lives. It also gave the Murphys an inside look at why their time ringing a bell means so much to people in need.

“Showing love and mercy goes beyond denominational lines,” says Max. “The Salvation Army is in so many places, and they do what other churches aren’t doing in some ways. There’s always something going on at The Salvation Army. Every day there is something somewhere where you can serve.”

START THE HOLIDAYS WITH LOCAL MERCHANTS AND ZIONSVILLE SHOWCHOIRS Writer / Geri Neita

Yes, it’s that time of year again, and as part of the town’s Christmas in the Village event, Zionsville High School’s Royalaires and Choralaires have the opportunity to perform holiday favorites in the intimate setting of private residences within the community.

Each home is uniquely decorated for the holiday season, oozing charm and providing inspiration to all who enter.

Last year, wreaths donated by local florists and decorators were displayed at each stop, whereupon raffle tickets were available for purchase.

“We had a lot going on in the homes with the decorations and the kids singing,” said Jennifer Luczek, co-chair of the event. “I think the wreaths just got lost in the whole mix of it.”

Tickets for the event are $20 and are now available at Kogan Antiques and Lighting and the Butler’s Pantry on Main Street, as well as Akard True Value Hardware in Boone Village. They may also be purchased at the homes on the tour, December 6 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Call Jennifer Luczak for more information at 317-408-0203 and visit zchoirs.com to see the homes on this year’s tour.

DOES YOUR HOME NEED PAINTING THIS YEAR? 30% OFF

So this year, the choirs have partnered with Zionsville business owners to promote the event through a silent “wreath” auction.

Local merchants will provide and display wreaths at their establishments (November 22 – December 7) where shoppers can elect to place a bid or choose a buy-it-now option.

“So many more people will have an opportunity to see the wreaths, and the store owners will see more traffic,” said Drew Kogan, owner of Kogan Antiques and Lighting. “It’s a fabulous way for merchants and the schools to work together.”

Kogan worked with Sandy Rogers, owner of the Butler’s Pantry, to reach out to help the choirs maximize their fundraising efforts.

Every merchant will have the chance to participate, and Kogan estimates his own contribution to be valued somewhere between $200 and $300.

As a thank you to those businesses, a group of singers will be present in the village on Saturday, December 6 as an extra stop on the home tour.

So grab your earmuffs and mittens and come on down to the village to get in on the auction!
