Many of you have probably travelled through the chaotic intersection of Michigan Road and 96th Street and seen a building bearing a sign “La Beauté”. With your mind focused on surviving the traffic congestion, you may not have given a second thought to how close you are to an oasis of beauty and enrichment, La Beauté.

La Beauté is a full service spa started by owner Mailou Humphries nearly 18 years ago. Mailou grew up and was trained in skin

care in France before immigrating to the United States nearly 37 years ago. At the time she was receiving training in France, it was the epicenter for advances in skin care products and procedures. Once she arrived in the U.S., Mailou would travel back to France three or four times a year in order to continually advance her knowledge in skin care. As you might expect, Mailou is a hands on owner that continues to personally provide services to her clients while meticulously overseeing the operations of the spa to assure complete customer satisfaction.

La Beauté has adopted a philosophy from the European skin and body care principle: beauty is more than skin deep. Mailou believes that truly effective skin and body care should improve the skin’s appearance, provide holistic benefits and boost your self-esteem.

As a full service spa, La Beauté provides services to both women and men of all ages and in the case of massage, couples. The services provided at the spa include facials, waxing, nails, massages, hair removal and makeup application/lessons. The spa also uses the highest quality products and procedures available such as Darphin, ZO Skin Health Solutions, SkinMedica, SkinPen II and Latisse. Some of these products’ use requires medical supervision that La Beauté obtains from a prominent local physician.

Recently, La Beauté added Coolsculpting as a service. For those not familiar with this procedure, Coolscupting technology safely delivers precisely controlled cooling to gently and effectively target the fat cells underneath the skin while leaving the skin itself unaffected. There is no surgery, anesthesia or downtime.

So the next time you’re in need of an escape from the congestion and chaos that life brings, call La Beauté for a break of beauty and peacefulness.

ZIONSVILLE NATIVE SPENT SUMMER AT ISRAEL DIG

Page 18: Zionsville Magazine August 2015

18 / ZIONSVILLE MAGAZINE / AUGUST 2015 / atZionsville.com

Writer / Rebecca Wood

Chris Thompson’s favorite quote is “It’s not what you find. It’s what you find out.” These are the words he lived by while participating in a summer archeology expedition in Israel.

Thompson, a Zionsville native and recent Wheaton College graduate, spent much of the summer on the Leon Levy Expedition in Ashkelon, Israel. This is Thompson’s second time on the expedition. For six weeks, Thompson unearthed ancient artifacts in an area rich in history.

HISTORY OF THE EXCAVATION SITEAshkelon is the oldest and largest seaport in Israel. The city is situated on the Mediterranean coast about 35 miles south of Tel Aviv and eight miles north of the Gaza Strip.

Ashkelon is built upon the ruins of past civilizations and has been the site of numerous conflicts and constant upheavals. The city traces its roots back to 2900 B.C. A substantial Canaanite city began in Ashkelon in 1850 B.C., and its history spans into the Crusades (1200 A.D.). Ashkelon was largely abandoned after the 13th century until the new state of Israel rebuilt the city in 1948.

The Bible mentions Ashkelon several times. It is the location where Delilah cut Samson’s hair. Ashkelon is also the birthplace of Herod the Great. Richard the Lionheart, the King of England, likely lived in the city for over a year during the Crusades.

The Leon Levy Expedition digs in the heart of ancient Ashkelon at Ashkelon National Park. Since 1985, the archeologists have been excavating a tell, an archeology mound created by many generations

of people living and rebuilding on the same spot within the park.

The expedition consists of faculty and students from several universities including Wheaton College, Harvard University, Boston College and Troy University.

Thompson explains that archeologists uncover items in reverse chronological order. Archeologists find items from the most recent history near the surface. As the archeologists continue to dig deeper, objects from more ancient history are discovered. Over the summer, Thompson and the team uncovered items from 604 B.C. when Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar stormed and burned the city.

LIFE ON THE DIGThompson admits he was happy to wake up at 4:30 a.m. each morning to prepare for the dig. “I couldn’t wait to get up and do something I enjoy,” Thompson proclaims.

Six days a week, the team worked on the dig. The archeologists started excavating early to bypass the heat of day as temperatures in Ashkelon typically reached 95 to 100 degrees in the afternoon. The team began digging by 5:15 a.m. and stopped for lunch and afternoon rest around noon. At 4 p.m., the team returned to the site to wash pottery and examine morning finds. In the evening, a faculty member or guest lecturer provided a talk on the region’s history or other archeology topics.

Thompson says he entered each dig with few expectations of what he would discover within the soil.

“A lot of times when we are digging, we don’t know what we will find,” Thompson asserts.

Thompson discovered two scarabs, seals that served to officiate or seal ancient documents. He calls these finds significant because they can serve as chronological indicators.

Another important find was an ostrica (piece of pottery) that is frequently covered with writing. Thompson says these objects provide scientists with information about ancient inhabitants’ daily life.

Thompson has also unearthed arrowheads, coins, metal fishhooks and small jugs. “A day did not go by that I didn’t find something of interest,” Thompson recalls.

Dr. Daniel Master, Professor of Archeology at Wheaton College, declares, “Chris is extraordinarily talented in finding the clues that help us to unlock past human activities.”

The team stayed in a hotel in Ashkelon. Being close to the Gaza Strip had its challenges. The first day Thompson arrived in Ashkelon, the red dawn sirens blared (sirens provide only a 15 second warning of an imminent rocket attack). The rocket landed in an open area, and no damage was reported. A group sympathetic

Page 19: Zionsville Magazine August 2015

with ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack. Since then, the region remained calm. Last year, the dig had to shut down for security issues.

ARCHEOLOGY ROOTSSharon Thompson says her son developed a passion for archeology when he was in second grade on a community dig in Massachusetts. From there, Thompson grew in his knowledge and love for archeology. He incorporated his passion for archeology in his experiences with the Zionsville Eagle Scouts. He also interned with the Indiana State Museum and participated in several Hoosier excavations.

Thompson says he’s always enjoyed history. “Archeology fills in the gaps where history has left off,” Thompson asserts.

In 2011, Thompson graduated from University High School. He then earned a degree in geology and biblical archeology from Wheaton College in 2015. Thompson plans to take a year between college and graduate school to work in archeology. His future plans are to earn a doctorate degree and work in academia.

Sharon says, “Chris has been passionate about studying and discovering archeology for most of his life. It’s great to see his dreams come true.”

When asked what the most common thing customers say when they enter Moody’s Zionsville Market, Adam Moody, owner and founder of Moody’s Market, said it is “Wow!” Moody’s Market came to be after Moody opened up a meat market in Zionsville in 2009.

About four years ago, the town of Zionsville surveyed the citizens and found the biggest

demand was for a small local market. That demand presented an opportunity for Moody. When Moody’s lease expired on their original Michigan Road location, Moody explained, “We wanted to broaden what we were offering, and adding the market was certainly a natural thing to do.”

He envisioned a market that not only sold meat but also locally sourced natural and organic groceries to create, as Moody says, “much more than a butcher shop. We have

successfully re-created what a small town grocery store used to be with meat as the center piece, not an afterthought.”

To make this new concept a reality, he needed someone who was familiar with the market side of the operation. Moody and his business partner Nick Carter, partnered with Rick Montieth, owner of Georgetown Market Natural Foods, a leader in health food in Indy for more than 40 years.

Moody’s Market

20 East Cedar St. Zionsville, IN 46077317-873-1800MoodyMeats.comZionsvilleShop@moodymeats.comHours: Mon.-Sat.: 8 a.m.-8 p.m. Sun.: 12-5 p.m.

MOODY’S ZIONSVILLE MARKET FILLING THE NEED

The next challenge was finding the appropriate location that could house the envisioned market and have plenty of dedicated parking. Moody said that they looked into building in five different locations before finally deciding on 20 E. Cedar St.

The building required extensive work to get it up to code. “It certainly was the largest remodeling project on the Bricks that’s happened in the last few years,” said Moody. However, he said it all paid off. “It was a good opportunity to meet the needs of what the community said they wanted,” said Moody.

MARKET VARIETY“The interesting concept to the market is that we obviously bring the local meat full-service on the butcher side, but we focus on local produce and natural or organic grocery items on the grocery side,” said Moody. The market also stocks healthier foods that are not found in other stores.

Aside from meats and groceries, Moody’s Market also has a juice, smoothie and coffee

bar and a small variety of Rocket 88 donuts. Customers can come in and get a delicious juice or smoothie made from fresh fruits or vegetables with no sugar or syrups added in. “It’s just straight up what it is,” said Moody.

In addition, if you are looking for a different kind of drink, Moody’s has a small wine and beer section. “It’s by no means a wine shop or extensive beer shop,” said Moody, “but it is a place where you can get carryout local beer or a nice wine to complete your meal.”

Most recently, Moody’s has added pre-made sandwiches and will soon be offering soups. “People can come in and get a little container of soup and half a sandwich. Perfect for lunch,” Moody explained.

“It’s very important to us as food merchants that people don’t just like the idea of the market downtown but that they utilize the market downtown, so we made hours that were conducive to people’s hectic schedules,” said Moody. Moody’s Zionsville Market is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day except Sunday from 12-5 p.m.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE ONE ROOM AT A TIME

A visit or stay in a hospital tends to be a stressful and undesirable visit for any adult, and the affect upon a child can be even more traumatic.

When a child expresses their discomfort by crying or acting out, it not only raises the child’s level of anxiety but also is distressing to the parent(s), caregivers and attending staff who is attempting treatment.

There are a plethora of studies available that show how Distraction Therapy can reduce pain and therefore reduces the patients discomfort throughout the necessary procedure.

At the invitation of Zionsville resident Dr. Charles (Chuck) Dietzen, I recently made a few trips to the Riley Hospital for Children to visit Dr. Dietzen’s wing specifically and to learn more about a premiere project focusing on a revolutionary method of Distraction Therapy that is currently underway in the Pediatric Oncology Rehabilitation unit.

“The old adage that ‘Coincidence is when God winks’ is my favorite way of explaining why people meet at the time that they do,” Dr. Dietzen explained. “I met the artist Jim Nash, whose company has partnered with us on this project, through a mutual friend. I was told that I needed to meet Jim and check out what his company Dreamakür

was doing in other areas of the country.

“I saw the potential for really great synergy and contacted Jim about the vision that I had for our unit at Riley. I had come back to Riley Hospital for Children to build a world-class pediatric rehab center, and utilizing my global connections that I’ve built over the last several years, make our unit the premier global center where people in our industry can learn to care for children all over the world. We have an outstanding staff who are developing programs and implementing these programs here at Riley.”

It is Dr. Dietzen’s goal to transform the sparsely decorated and out-of-date wing that his patients are currently housed in into a world-class, revitalizing and magical unit for his patients to recover and rebuild their lives in.

“Visual Distraction Therapy incorporated with the sensory integration component of therapy that we do in rehab is what we are all excited about,” Dr. Dietzen expressed. “We are limited on space, and we want to create a better sense of community for our kids and get them out of their patient rooms. We need to enhance the hallways and common areas in addition to the therapy rooms. What makes our concept so unique is that we want to make the walls interactive.”

The age range of patients that Dr. Dietzen and his staff work with spans from infant age to 18 years old. Their challenge was to create something that would benefit all ages and is beneficial to patients’ rehabilitation therapy.

“Part of the therapy is ‘cause and effect,’ so for example having a child turning the mural’s street lights on and off, making the wheels turn or making the butterflies’ wings flap are important cognitive skills, and it motivates the child to use their fine and gross motor skills,” Dr. Dietzen emphasized. “It becomes an active part of the child’s therapy.”

During visits back to the unit, I was able to see the first of hopefully many installations in the unit’s main entry hallway. The once drab and dreary hallway had been transformed into a whimsical wonderland,

portraying children of all ages and abilities, playing in parks, competing in sports and even enjoying a peppermint lollipop that was anointed with real peppermint oil to increase alertness and ease tension upon smelling it. The images show children who have learned to overcome their challenges and reengage with life.

“The work has only just begun,” Dr. Dietzen said. “We currently have fireworks in our mural, and we are going to install LED lights so that they look as though they are going off into the sky. Having worked with this program for several years, I am thrilled to have the EPIC Program through Purdue University come out and help us design and build out these special functions into our murals.

“The EPIC program is an outstanding elective program for engineering college students that focuses on helping us, so that we can help children with disabilities. They have done some really cool stuff for us in other places, and we are excited to have them on board with us for this project. These engineering students will take their mechanical, biomedical, electrical and

civil engineering degrees and apply their knowledge and creativity to this project.

“Our unit will be the first of its kind globally,” Dr. Dietzen said. “We have done sensory integration walls in the past, but we hand painted them, limiting us on what we could do with them. Now, thanks to Jim Nash and his company, we are able to take images that are created on a computer and apply them to a wall, giving us nearly unlimited potential to take this Visual Distraction Therapy and turn it into a multi-sensory experience for a child who is recovering, regardless of their illness and or injury.”

The rooms that Dr. Dietzen would like to see receive these treatments would include all of their therapy rooms and the common areas, including the connecting hallways. The cost to wrap a room is approximately $15,000. Nash’s company, Dreamakür, has donated $32,000 to date, and they have wrapped the entry hallway, main corridor intersection and supporting columns. The prize jewel of the project so far is the custom-designed “Wheel-In Movie Theatre” that is a mockup of an old drive-in theatre but depicts children cruising

in their wheelchairs to enjoy their favorite flicks and movie treats.

I met with the artist behind these visions, Jim Nash, who graciously flew in to meet with me and share his motivation to create this beautiful imagery.

“I want to spread and offer these services to hospitals all over the country,” Nash humbly explained. “I enjoy working with Dr. Chuck.

Children in wheelchairs can join the Drive-In Movie.

He’s a very special guy that does a lot of great things for people, and it was an honor to meet him and work with him.

“I started out as a graphic designer here in Indianapolis, near Whitestown, Indiana. My boss moved to Pittsburgh to start a new company, Endograph, in 1992, and I moved out there to be a part of that. Three years ago, we started Dreamakür which specializes in hospital imagery.”

Nash’s calling became clear to him after being hired to transform a patient room in the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh who had originally requested wall decals and something to cover the one window that looked out onto a graveyard.

The end result was that Nash had created a translucent film that would wrap the room, covering but not extinguishing the

natural light, and had created a Martian theme simulating the colors and visions of Mars. This escalated into Nash being commissioned to completing 65 rooms, paid for by fundraising and their local philanthropic community.

The murals are guaranteed and have a 10-year warranty. Each installation is a floor-to-ceiling application that is completely covered with an overlaminate. All of the materials are eco-friendly and protect the inks and colors from sterilization and use of chlorine, alcohol and other cleaning compounds.

“It makes me feel good to be able to do something like this, and I believe that it is my purpose in life,” Nash concluded. “When I am able to witness a child’s frown turn upside down because of something that I was able to create for them, it

means the world to me.”

Dr. Dietzen and his staff gratefully acknowledged the organizations that they are currently working with to garner financial support and awareness of this remarkable undertaking. They credit their partnerships with Dreamakür, the Rotary Club of Carmel, the EPIC Program and the Riley Children’s Foundation where there is an established Rehab Fund that supports Dr. Dietzen’s unit.

When I first heard the term, “FootGolf ” I naturally thought of some of my more notorious golfing partners whose liberal use of the “foot mashie” to improve their lie on a

golf course could easily be termed FootGolf. However, the folks at Wind Wood Golf Club recently introduced me to a new sport that is taking off across the country that combines golf with the growing popularity of soccer known as FootGolf.

As you might expect, FootGolf is played on a regular golf course, but uses #5 soccer balls instead of golf balls and the ball is advanced to the 21-inch cup by kicking the soccer ball instead of using golf clubs. As in regular golf, the FootGolf course is designed with par-3, par-4 and par-5 holes that measure approximately 100 yds., 150 yds., and 200 yds, respectively. Unless you are an accomplished soccer player who can kick a ball a mile, your typical “birdie putt” in FootGolf is normally 20-30 yards from the hole. This may sound like a “gimme”,

given the size of the hole, but I am told it is very difficult. Unlike a round of regular golf, which on a good day takes four hours, a round of FootGolf can usually be finished in two hours.

According to Scott Heger, Wood Wind’s Director of Golf, the FootGolf layout at Wood Wind that opened last spring has been particularly well received because of the added difficulty the up and down terrain the golf course provides. In fact, Heger noted, that on one particularly elevated hole a poorly placed shot can result in your soccer ball rolling all the back down the fairway hill. Water hazards are not part of the FootGolf course at Wind Wood, but sand traps are.

FootGolf, like regular golf, can be a very

social event. Heger is getting requests for FootGolf outings and has scheduled several. A FootGolf outing is a new and fresh idea for a social outing that, unlike golf, can include everyone. The only requirement is that you can kick a ball. Anyone who has played in a regular golf scramble that has turned into a six-hour-death- march will appreciate the projected two-hour completion time for a FootGolf outing.

I spoke with Mike Boedeker, a 40 year old who is an avid golfer and member of the Wood Wind Men’s Club, about his experience playing FootGolf. Mike has played FootGolf a few times, with a foursome of men and with his children as a fun afternoon activity. Boedeker told me that he had a great time and that the degree of difficulty is deceiving due to the size of the hole. Even though the hole is 21 inches in diameter the soccer ball tends to bounce more than a golf ball and this makes it harder to sink a long shot than it would appear on first impression.

Just as golf has the USGA as a sanctioning body for the sport, FootGolf has the United States FootGolf Association (USFGA). On September 19, Wood Wind will host a sanctioned USFGA tournament that is a qualifying tournament for the national championship.

If you’re looking for a great social or team building event or a great way to spend some time in the outdoors with your kids, think about a FootGolf outing. For more info go to woodwindgolf.com pricing-and-hours or call Wood Wind to reserve a tee time 317-669-8550.

During the first chapter of his professional career, Gary Brackett drew a favorable reputation of playing with passion, performing without fear and being totally prepared for game days.

Those three assets underlined the attributes unleashed by Brackett during his nine years in the National Football League when he started and starred for the Indianapolis Colts. This was the same Gary Brackett who went undrafted and was a giant question mark to make the Colts’ roster in his rookie season in 2003.

Nowadays, Brackett continues to draw a favorable rating in the second chapter of

his professional life. He still plays with passion, still performs without fear and still prepares for game days. The only difference is that now the 35-year-old Carmel native oversees eight central Indiana restaurants and is mapping out strategies to grow to over 20 Hoosier dining establishments by 2019. This is the same Gary Brackett who entered the restaurant business with little background and perhaps a target to misfire on this new and challenging occupation.

This former athlete has uncovered utopia, part two.

“Joe Jefferson told me that one day, we all go out into the real world,” remembered Brackett of a conversation with a former teammate with the Colts, “and that I

shouldn’t let football define who I was. At that point, I knew I had to come up with something that I could enjoy after football.”

That opportunity came when he became partners with Chris Long, a longtime central Indiana restaurant operator who started opening up the Stacked Pickle franchise in the metro Indianapolis area. Eventually, Brackett bought out Long, took on a new partner (Jeff Smith) and dove head first into the restaurant and entertainment business. He and Smith own six Stacked Pickles (including ones in Zionsville, Carmel, Fishers and Greenwood). Future locations are scheduled for Southport (the first free-standing facility), Westfield and West Lafayette.And more expansion is on the horizon. Brackett and Smith, a former executive

at Outback Steakhouse, Applebee’s and O’Charley’s, plan to open up three new outlets in each of the next five years. Possible sites include Fort Wayne, South Bend, Bloomington, Terre Haute, Plainfield and Evansville.

But both are cautious in their dreaming.

“We have a system that we believe in,” said Brackett. “I am fascinated with the business, but we operate with very low margins, so there is no room for error.”

Meanwhile, Brackett and Smith have expanded into another restaurant venture. Georgia Reese’s Southern Table and Bar boasts two locations, one on 86th Street on the northside of Indianapolis and the recently opened downtown location on Washington Street.

The restaurant was named after Brackett’s 2-year-old daughter and features a soul-filled Southern cuisine that is new to the Indianapolis market. Supper (yes, supper) items include Alligator Gumbo, Country Fried Green Tomatoes and Sweet Potato Casserole. For those with less adventure, the menu also enlists blackened or fried catfish, Georgia Reese’s Fried Chicken, Grace Norma’s Shrimp and “Indy’s Best” Slow Smoked Wings.

There is frequently live music played for background. Georgia Reese’s was recently featured on Julia Moffitt’s What’s Cooking segment on WTHR, and Brackett is scheduled to be interviewed for Inside INdiana Business in August. He chats business, not football.

The two restaurants cater to many different dining audiences. Brackett says that for lunch, the Stacked Pickle is a place where people “want to get in and get out.” The dinner crowd looks for fair pricing and quality. In a recent tasting session at the Zionsville location, Brackett and Smith tasted potential future products.

“You really want to have something on the menu for everyone,” said Brackett. “We believe we need to continue to cater to more women with our salads and wraps.”

As for Georgia Reese’s, Brackett admits people should be prepared to embark on an eating adventure with heavy food entrees.

“You want to loosen your belt,” confessed Brackett, who proudly claims the restaurant has a sizzling Sunday brunch menu. “The recipes are original, and the restaurant is very unique. We have meatloaf, catfish, chicken, shrimp and more. It is not just another soul place.”

Brackett is also not just another soldier of football. Besides graduating from Rutgers (yes, there is a Rutgers banner in the Stacked Pickle), he earned his MBA in business economics from George Washington University. He also married his wife Ragan, a Brebeuf and Indiana University graduate who is now a doctor at Community East Hospital. Besides their daughter Georgia, there’s also 6-year-old Gabriel and 3-year-old Gary, Jr.

Other family members are the expanding restaurant homes. The Zionsville location sits a mile from Brackett’s Carmel home, allowing him to visit the location morning, afternoon and night. He uses the visits to reinforce to staff his marketing and sales philosophies.

“People are searching for a purpose, and operating the restaurants is my purpose,” said Brackett. “I love inspiring people and am humble enough to listen to them. Yelling and screaming won’t make people work harder. I like to say that I may have bad moments, but I never have bad days.”

Brackett maintains that focus even when he stirs late at night and goes to the computer to review sales at the restaurants.

“P and L [profit and loss] statements are brutally honest,” Brackett said. “They are your scorecards and are our wins and losses, but you also have to realize that they are not the final destination. You can make things better.”

Brackett remembers lessons learned from his football career, which ended after undergoing eight separate surgeries.

(“Some days, I feel like I am 51 and not 35,” he admitted.)

Football can be one play a time. Restaurants can be one customer at a time.

“Competition is tough, but competition is tough in every business,” Brackett noted. “We try to value every client and try to break everything down to see what is attainable. How can we get six extra people

in for lunch or dinner?”

In this area, Brackett reads and observes other success stories. For example, former NBA star Junior Bridgeman owns over 200 restaurants (many of them Wendy’s) and is estimated to be worth $400 million. However, Brackett also calls on his own persona. This one bubbles with enthusiasm…just as it did during his NFL days.

“I believe in being engaged,” said Brackett after greeting guests at the Stacked Pickle on Michigan Road. “People want to be around friends and friendly people.”

Just like Gary Brackett.

KRISTI LEE ACCLAIMED RADIO PERSONALITY

CALLS ZIONSVILLE HOME

Page 34: Zionsville Magazine August 2015

34 / ZIONSVILLE MAGAZINE / AUGUST 2015 / atZionsville.com

Writer / Rebecca WoodPhotographer / JJ Kaplan

For the last 30 years, Kristi Lee has charmed morning radio listeners. As news director for WFBQ-FM’s “The Bob & Tom Show,” Lee and her team of cohorts tackle current events, engage in on-air antics and host a parade of comedians and celebrities.

Along with Bob Kevoian, Tom Griswold and Chick McGee, Lee serves as the “core four” of the syndicated show heard in 115 affiliates nationwide. Lee refers to herself as the “den mother” and says she frequently acts as the voice of reason to a cast of male coworkers who gravitate towards shenanigans and salty innuendos.

“I think it’s because you’re dealing with three guys,” Lee says. “Testosterone is a funny thing. It makes men say and do things they wouldn’t say or do if a woman was in the room. They forget I’m a girl half the time.”

Lee continues, “I’ve never had brothers. I look at it as a bunch of brothers I deal with all day.”

Lee’s personal life couldn’t be more different. For the last five years, Lee has called Zionsville home. She lives with her two daughters, Ava (age 16) and Sophie (age 13). Zionsville’s small town vibe and easygoing lifestyle appeal to Lee.

“I just love the community here,” Lee asserts. “I don’t have to worry about my girls so much. That was the strong factor for me. They can walk everywhere and ride their bikes. They know their neighbors.”

Lee hails from the west side of Indianapolis. Her radio roots trace back to a course she took at Ben Davis High School. Lee enrolled in the radio class on the encouragement of a classmate who touted the course as “easy and fun.”

According to Lee, teacher Dana Webb changed her life. Webb noticed Lee’s talent and encouraged her to pursue a career in radio. Under Webb’s assistance, Lee secured radio and television positions in the community.

In 1984, Lee landed the position of news director for “The Bob & Tom Show.” Initially, she delivered a few minutes of news every hour. Once the show became syndicated, Lee’s role morphed into a more intricate member of the show. Her delivery of the news became more conversational and less routine.

Lee admits listeners do not tune into the program for a dry reading of current events.

“People are not listening to ‘The Bob & Tom Show’ for the news,” Lee says. “They are waiting to hear us go off on the news or to hear a conversation about something else.”

She continues, “If you want to know what’s going on with the debt crisis in Greece, you will not be listening to Bob and Tom. That’s not what we are there for. We’re there to take you away from that and to have fun.”

Lee acknowledges that she looks for the “weird and weirder” stories. She touts her ability to find conversation starters and hot button stories. However, Lee’s quick-witted

coworkers and guests can often derail a discussion.

“I can guarantee poop will be mentioned at least once a show,” laughs Lee. “It’s a running gag to see how long it will take to mention fecal matter. My most common word is ‘really’ in a sarcastic tone.”

A cast of comedians and celebrities join the daily banter. Lee says a few are memorable. She refers to musician Kid Rock as a “pleasant surprise” and as “one of the most interesting and fun guests.”

Lee calls Dolly Parton a “gem of a woman.”

“If there’s a sweeter woman on the planet, I’d like to meet her,” gushed Lee. “She was so nice, personable and down to earth.”

Lee confesses to being star-struck by Peter Frampton. She says meeting him was the pinnacle of her career and proclaims Frampton to be her idol.

In the nicest way possible, Lee acknowledges that some guests are “not what we expected.” Lee calls Tom Griswold the “best interviewer in the world,” and she says he can salvage even the worst conversation.

“Even if guests are bad, you’d never know it,” Lee claims. “Tom has a way of getting people to talk.”

Sometimes the morning unfolds in unexpected ways. Lee chuckles as she recalls the show about her pet chinchilla. One day, as Lee was preparing to go to work, her chinchilla became spooked and hid under Lee’s vehicle. Frantic,

Lee phoned work and explained her predicament. Bob and Tom found the situation humorous and sent show character Donnie Baker to capture the chinchilla.

On live radio, Lee and Baker spent the next several hours chasing around and eventually grabbing the fugitive pet. She called that show “unintentionally funny.”

Lee remembers another show where she and Bob were reporting from a hot air balloon. With a giggle, Lee says the balloon landed in a field. A farmer watched the scene unfold and rushed to the balloon. When he realized it was Bob Kevoian in his field, he became giddy and introduced the radio host to his pet goats named Bob and Tom. “With live radio, you never know what can happen,” Lee snickers.

Along with her position at “The Bob & Tom Show,” Lee has also worked for the Pacers, ESPN, ESPN2, Fox Sports and other sporting events. Recently, she moved away from sports reporting and gravitated towards voice-over work. On August 1, Lee hosted the Zionsville Street Dance.

Lee considers Zionsville a retreat from her busy schedule. She enjoys working out, curling up with a good book at home and spending time with her daughters.

Among her many fans, Lee’s biggest cheerleaders are her daughters. Lee’s daughter Ava penned an article in the August issue of Seventeen magazine titled, “My Friends Think She’s Cooler Than I Am.” Lee is tickled about her daughter’s words.

Lee has no plans to leave her spot with Bob and Tom anytime soon. “I don’t see it ending, but everything comes to an end. I try not to think about it.”

She has no intentions to move out of Zionsville.

“I wish I had moved here 20 years sooner,” Lee says.

Celebrating over 118 years in business, the W.H. Bass Photo Company still resides in the same building since inception in 1897 along South

New Jersey Street. The Bass Photo Building is now a historic landmark with its owners solidly rooted to the past but working towards the future.

William H. Bass was a local teacher at Shortridge High School who took up photography in 1887. By 1899, the company was operating as Bass and Woodworth. Woodworth sold his interest to Bass in 1904, officially creating the W.H. Bass Photo Company. Theodore (Ted) Abel became a Board member by 1936, and today his grandson, Gerry Abel, along with his wife, Kathy, run the company.

“My grandfather, Ted Abel, hung around Mr. Bass in the early

1900s as a kid. He was eventually given a broom and worked his way up," says Gerry, third generation Bass Photo Company owner. “Developer is in the blood. I grew up with a dark room at home and spent weekends at the shop.”

Gerry watched his father, grandfather and the technicians work, and he played hide and seek, enjoying the revolving doors on the dark room. “It’s an honor to be a third generation photographer with The Bass Photo Company,” shares Gerry. “But what makes my experience so rewarding is working alongside my wife, Kathy.”

Perhaps Bass Photo is best known for its massive collection of historical photos taken of Indianapolis since 1899. “The photos of the street scenes were actually taken using extra sheets of film after a job,” shares Kathy. She explains, “The photographer would ride the trolley car along Virginia into downtown and snap shots of buildings and scenes of people in the streets with the extra photo paper leftover from their job.”

These “extras” have served as the photographic history of Indianapolis, creating the notoriety that is associated with The Bass Photo Company. “We feel that these vintage photos are an integral part of recording the history of Indianapolis from 1897,” shares Kathy.

In 1987, the Indiana Historical Society (IHS) purchased the vast collection of over 200,000 negatives. These negatives are now preserved and cataloged at the Eugene and Marilyn Glick History Center, creating a massive archive accessible online or by request in the IHS library.

Susan Sutton, Director of Digitization at the IHS located at the Eugene and Marilyn Glick History Center, pieced together these beloved negatives in the book “Indianapolis: The Bass Photo Company Collection by Indiana Historical Society Press,” 2008.

“I was really excited to write the book about this fantastic body of work. Like so many other people, I love these photographs,” shares Sutton. “Researching the company itself gave me an even greater appreciation of the images. Everything I found pointed to people who consciously recorded the history of the city.

“From William H. Bass instructing photographers to shoot

interesting scenes with unused negatives when returning from assignments to Ted Abel sending people out to photograph endangered buildings, this company has a long history of SERVING Indianapolis – not just doing business. Their photographers were talented, and they left a beautiful record of a city as it grew and changed through the 20th century.” Given the incredible history of The Bass Photo Company, what will the future hold? “Our present and future is strong,” shares Gerry. “We are continuing on.”

With clients like Eli Lilly who have used the talents of The Bass Photo Company for over 118 years, it’s hard to not maintain a successful working relationship with that type of track record. “Mr. Lilly used to come over to look at the historic negatives with my grandfather,” says Gerry. “And what’s more, Lilly moved closer to us out of convenience.”

The Abels are grateful for all of their clients. “We are so blessed by our wonderful customers,” says Kathy. “Our business continues to grow and move forward.”

“Cancer is not contagious. But hope is! Spread the HOPE!” That is exactly what Cindi Hart, founder of Spokes of Hope, wants everyone to understand.

Rolling into Lions Park on Saturday, August 22 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. will be Spokes of Hope’s Indy Charity Bike Ride. As a two-time breast cancer survivor, Cindi and the group have planned a police escort for cancer veterans who will ride bicycles through Zionsville via pathways of cheering supporters, friends and family.

Last year’s event consisted of approximately 200 riders who raised over $5,000 for cancer support. This year’s projection is even higher. All funds raised are applied locally.

When the riders triumphantly reach the finish line, they will rejoice as they ring the bell. This is the celebratory sound that one hears in the hospital when someone has beaten cancer, and they are cleared to

return home. The sweet sound of the bell is in honor, memory and celebration of the triumph over cancer, and it is the most beautiful sound in the world!

In 2004, Cindi faced the dreaded news that no one wants to hear…”You have cancer.” The doctor was adept at explaining the medical side of what life would entail. But doctors can only help to a certain degree with limited time to connect on an emotional level to a person facing an uncertain future.

There is a void in how to prepare, what to expect and how others can support you as you begin treatment. Cindi has been through the cancer battle twice, and now she is using her experience to help others.

A nurse by profession, Cindi knew that a DVD educational series would be invaluable to explain things that a doctor cannot. Cindi has compiled a list of questions that the DVD will address, including: “What to pack? Who you will meet? What will

happen to your body? What is recovery like? How to manage pain? How to use meditation? What about exercise? How your friends and family can support you?

“And it is filled with treasures of knowledge that explain that chewing gum combats the metallic taste of chemotherapy, talc can prevent sticking to hospital mattresses and squishy pillows help relieve pressure when recovering from a mastectomy.” The entire DVD series is patient-centered, not procedure-centered.

The hope is that the doctor will hand a free DVD to the patient to demystify the emotional journey that lies ahead. Cindi is producing the first series of DVDs that encompass the process of going through breast cancer. She notes, “Not everyone has a computer, but everyone has a DVD player.” She also plans to produce other series, including prostate cancer and other cancers.

The staff at the local Boys & Girls Club East and West in Zionsville, Indiana have been proactively “thinking outside of the box” when it comes to fun and interesting ways to fundraise for their two clubs. The clubs provide an expansive menu of programs and sports that are geared to develop fitness, positive use of leisure time, skills for stress management, appreciation for the environment and social skills.

The Clubs are excited to be the benefactors again of the “Garages of Zionsville” open house on Saturday, August 22, 2015 in Zionsville, Indiana. This spectacular exhibition of cars will lead car enthusiasts on a tour of local garages and selected sites and is conveniently located within and around the town of Zionsville. The proceeds of this event will benefit the local Boys & Girls Clubs of Zionsville.

Tim Fretz, executive director for BAGC of Zionsville gave us the highlights of this

unique fundraiser. “This is a great event that begins at the Boys & Girls Club East located 1575 Mulberry Street in Zionsville. The open house begins at our club at 5 p.m. and goes until 9 p.m. There will be a food truck in front of our club for people to purchase a quick and easy meal from and then they will be given a map and instructions on the other garage locations. There will be an extensive variety of cars for people to see. Chuck Maranto’s collection of 20-plus Fiats made by Abarth is a crowd favorite and Just Marketing will have their high-end executive car collection on display as well. Gateway Classic will have approximately 100 cars for people to view at their garage site and Jimmy Buff-It’s Auto Detailing will have several of their clients’ and personal collection featuring some really cool and unique cars at their detail shop.”

Fretz also shared with us another unique fundraiser that will benefit the local BAGCs of Zionsville to be held on August 8th at the soft opening of the new Corner Bakery located at 14450 Clay Terrace Boulevard,

#100 in Carmel, Indiana. The grand opening at their first location in the state will be on August 10th.

The Unit Director, Boys & Girls Club of Zionsville-West, Sarah Webler provided the details on this particular fundraiser. “They have invited us to their soft opening for family and friends on Saturday, August 8th,” Webler said. “There will be a jar for donations and all money collected from the day will go to the Boys and Girls Club of Zionsville. Our members are also invited to their grand opening on August 10th beginning at 7:00 a.m. Regardless of the sales that day; they will be donating an additional $1,000 to the Club. Mayor Brainard, and Blue will be at the ribbon cutting ceremony at 9:00 a.m.”
