On Saturday, July 11, the sixth annual Indiana Bastille Day will be celebrated at Landmark Park in Fortville from 11 a.m.- 11 p.m. Bastille Day, also known as French National Day, celebrates the beginning of the French Revolution in 1789.

"Back in 2009, my husband and I were living in Fortville. After the Fourth of July fireworks, I felt a bit homesick and wanted our young children to enjoy the French National Day festivities without having to fly over to Paris. My husband and I organized a last minute Bastille Day celebration in our backyard and invited family members, friends and neighbors to join us. More than 50 enthusiastic people showed up in our tiny front lawn!

"Seeing how excited people were about a French event, we then approached the town about holding a larger event in the public Landmark Park," said Gabrielle Hendryx-Park, co-founder of the event.

"In July 2010, the first public ‘Indiana Bastille Day’ festival was born with the help of Carol Ganz, Greg Mankey and the local Ten West Center for the Arts."

The free family festival will have live music from authentic French band Frenchaxe as well as other singers and choirs. Vendors will feature artisan food, a beer, wine and cider garden and arts and crafts. A traditional pétanque tournament will take place along with a Waiter’s Race, a marionette show, a lantern parade and demonstrations from the fire and police departments. Costumed

characters, some from the Fishers Renaissance Fair, will also roam the festival. A laser light show will end the night on a 30-foot screen.

"The ‘raison d’être’ of the festival is to expand people’s cultural horizons and promote cultural diversity in an ever more interconnected world. To reach people, we have to find a way that they can personally relate to what’s presented to them. That’s why Indiana Bastille Day focuses on celebrating both French and Hoosier traditions," said Hendryx-Parker. "In the next few years, the festival will present more and more evidence of the rich history of the French culture in Indiana in an effort to help Hoosiers get in touch with their French roots."

CHRIST THE SAVIOR LUTHERAN CHURCH'S MISSION TO PROVIDE PRODUCE FOR FOOD PANTRIES

Writer / Kara Reibel . Photographer / Brian Brosmer

"‘For the life of the world’ is a phrase used as a common conclusion to mission statements, prayers and conversations among members of the Indiana-Kentucky Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America," shares Lutheran Bishop Bill Gafkjen.

This quote, while encompassing so much, ideally describes the mission of Christ the Savior (CTS) Lutheran Church’s in providing fresh produce to food banks in Hamilton County.

"Lutherans take very seriously creation care of this earth that God has given us to tend to," says Pastor Libby Manning, who serves at CTS with newly-called Pastor Brian Derrer. "Cultivating a garden that supplies secure produce to food banks is a perfect use of our abundant land."

The idea of the Lazarus Community Garden, as it is also known, was originally proposed by parishioner Wanda Henderson. "I was inspired by a trip to Honduras last fall," shares Henderson, who works for Elanco. "I experienced a tour of Honduras Heifer Projects, which included animals raised for food, community gardening and beekeeping. It was in Honduras that my desire to provide fresh food and vegetables to those in need was ignited."

Another influence inspiring Henderson was when she participated with Eli Lilly’s "Annual Day of Service" working at Indy Urban Garden. Impressed by the eight acres of Indianapolis Parks that are dedicated to providing fruits and vegetables to local food pantries, Henderson wished to organize a similar scenario in Hamilton County.

The church allotted one acre for the garden, and it was soon clear that many HOA covenants prohibited gardens, including where Henderson and her family live. "Our original idea was to start the project with about 1/4 of an acre and to bring the

church together to create plots that community members could utilize," says Henderson. "With the consultation from Indy Urban Acres Director Tyler, we decided to provide plots free of charge to members of the community with the understanding that they would commit to donating 50 percent or more of their garden to the local food bank."

Today, there are about 30 individuals and families that have plots at the Lazarus Community Garden. All have agreed to donate at least 50 percent of their harvest to the local food banks. The Fishers Rotary is a strong partner with CTS for the Lazarus Community Garden. Fishers Rotary members are currently cultivating an additional 1/4 acre, donating 100 percent of their harvest to the Delaware Township food pantry whose mission is food security.

Future plans for the Lazarus garden include an extensive list of programs such as how to garden and rotate crops, planning, layout, what grows best in Indiana soil, how to cook those ‘odd’ vegetables, canning, rainwater collection and composting.

"We hope to eventually build a pavilion on the north side of the garden that will enable us to catch the rain water, wash vegetables on weekly harvest dates, store our tools for work days and provide us and outside space to hold programs," shares Henderson. "A gardening camp for kids would also be nice to offer."

"We believe that the church exists not for its own sake, but as an instrument of God’s care for all people and all creation," shares Bishop Gafkjen. "In other words, the church exists for the life of the world."

For more information on the Lazarus Community Garden, please visit christthesavior.org.

More and more Indiana microbreweries are making plans to move north to tap into growing communities, such as Fishers, Carmel and Noblesville! Some are open now, and others are set to open soon.

Heady Hollow Brewing Company partners Keefe Pietri and George Garrison are opening a brewpub at 11069 Allisonville Rd. near the low lying "Heady Hollow" area. The two have been brewing since 2008 and are known for their unique "coffee pecan porter" brew.

The new facility will have a five-barrel brewing system that visitors can view through a large window, a patio and family-friendly restaurant space. They will also offer some other local brews such as Scarlet Lane.

Scarlet Lane is a brewery in McCordsville, 7724 Depot St., that is already up and running, offering some crowd favorites such as the Dorian Stout and the Lordy Henry Summer beer.

Kevin "KP" Paul, owner of Brockway Pub, 12525 Old Meridian in Carmel, officially opens Danny Boy Beer Works in the Village

of WestClay. The brewery features nine house beers from a 15 barrel system that sits in the middle of all the action, so guests can hear the workings of a brewery for some great atmosphere!

Indianapolis-based Sun King Brewing wants to expand its presence by opening a tap room and small batch brewery in the Fishers area.

The 6,000-square-foot space at 7848 E. 96th St. in the North by Northeast Shopping Center will be home to a three-barrel brewing system and a special event space for community and private events.

NEW BREWERY JOINS NORTHSIDE BEER BOOM

George Garrison and Keefe Pietri are opening the northside's newest brewpub called Heady Hollow just south of 116th and Allisonville Road in Fishers.


Sun King, just five years old, is Indy’s largest craft microbrewery and the second largest in the Hoosier state.

Named after preferred growing regions for hops, 48th Parallel Brewing Co. is planning to open in the heart of Fishers, but no schedule has been announced at this time.

Jason Wuerfel opened Books & Brews in the Fishers area at 9402 Uptown Dr. It’s a unique concept mixing brews with food and a quiet spot to read a book.

In Noblesville, Barley Island Brewing Company at 639 Conner Street is going strong, serving crowd favorites such as Dirty Helen and Blind Tiger.

Head up to the Union Brewing Company at 622 N. Rangeline Rd. in Carmel where you will find artisan ales handcrafted two barrels at a time.

Or you can visit Upland Brewery, 820 E. 116th St. in Carmel, where you will find 10 draft lines and rotating seasonal selections.

Another unique concept in breweries is the Flix Brewhouse, 2206 E. 116th St., Merchant Square Shopping Center, in Carmel, where they offer first run movies and well crafted beer! There’s 12 onsite brewed beers and more than 20 regional craft selections for guests to enjoy with or without a movie in the restaurant area.

So whether mixed with books, movies or standing alone, the craft beer industry shows no signs of slowing down, especially here on the northside!

Pat Carlini is an experienced television/radio personality associated with NBC in Indianapolis and the syndicated Bob & Tom Show. She can be contacted at patcarlini.com.

“Take the leap, and the net will appear,” said Sylvia McNair, one of 19 women featured in a book by Michael S. Maurer, “19 Stars of Indiana: Exceptional Hoosier Women,” IU Press.

This statement by McNair adequately sums up Mickey Maurer’s approach to life. Maurer has been many things, and the term “entrepreneur” doesn’t seem to do him justice.

He is not someone that knows a little about a lot of things; he knows a lot about a lot of things. Maurer doesn’t take an interest in something lightly; he digs in, immersing himself until expert level is achieved. Then once saturated, he moves on to the next item on his list.

“I am not sure he keeps a ‘to do’ list, aside from writing down his schedule each night before leaving the office,” shares Maurer’s daughter, Jill Burnett. “He is the only person I know who still actively uses a Rolodex, even though I have told him his phone could do that.”

“My first job was leading ponies for small children at an amusement center. I was in elementary school. The pony in front of me dumped

on my tennis shoe. I decided to continue my education and strive for something that smelled a little better,” shares Maurer.

After graduating from North Central High School, Maurer attended the University of Colorado for his undergrad, then earned a degree from the Indiana University School of Law in Bloomington.

After practicing law for 20 years, Maurer realized he was more of an entrepreneur. “I became an attorney because my father couldn’t due to the constraints of the Great Depression. I wasn’t very good at being a lawyer,” says Maurer.

Turning to other interests, Maurer indicates he’s dabbled in cable television, film production, radio broadcasting, newspaper publishing, real estate and banking. To be clear, Maurer is Chairman of the Board of the IBJ Corporation, which publishes The Indianapolis Business Journal, Court and Commercial Record and The Indiana Lawyer. He also serves as the Chairman of the Board of The National Bank of Indianapolis, so saying he “dabbles” is drastically understating the truth.

“Mickey has been a tremendous resource in the community,” says Emmis Communications Chairman and CEO Jeff Smulyan. “He has made a real impact through his tremendous civic stewardship.”As one of original board members of Emmis Communications, Maurer’s friendship with Smulyan dates back over 30 years. Smulyan continues, “Mickey’s had a positive impact on improving the quality of life here in central Indiana.”

The impact of Maurer’s civic and philanthropic endeavors is impossible to quantify. Maurer’s contributions run wide and deep within our community, including his name gracing the Indiana University Law School in Bloomington. This incredibly generous donation on behalf of Maurer and his wife Janie illustrates their commitment to the school. The Maurer School of Law is a national leader in the study of the global legal profession.

As part of his civic duties, Maurer served as the President of the Indiana Economic Development Corp., and the following year, he was named Indiana Secretary of Commerce by Governor Mitch Daniels.

“I was paid $1 per year for that job,” shares Maurer emphasizing, “ONE dollar!”

Maurer replaced Vera Bradley co-founder Pat Miller as the Indiana Secretary of Commerce. During the transition, Maurer referred to Miller as a “classy dame,” which was spun as an offensive comment by The Indianapolis Star.

To the contrary, Maurer was offering Miller, who was not offended in the least, a sincere, heartfelt compliment. This incident inspired Maurer to pen the book, “19 Stars of Indiana: Exceptional Hoosier Women,” highlighting true role models for our society, both locally and globally.

“I marvel at Mickey’s perseverance and passion by which he pursues the things that are important to him,” praises Christel House Founder and CEO Christel DeHaan. “He is making a difference. What a great testimony to living a purposeful life.”

The success of the book influenced Maurer to create one honoring Hoosier men. In the book, he features, among others, Senator Richard Lugar, Eugene B. Glick and Gebisa Ejeta, a Purdue University geneticist and World Food Prize Foundation 2009 Prize Laureate, whom Maurer sincerely credits with the sole responsibility of saving more lives than anyone else on the planet.

“Dr. Ejeta researched drought-tolerant and striga-resistant sorghum seeds which reported yields four times larger than traditional sorghum crops. He’s helped save the lives of millions of Africans through his food research which cannot be understated,” says Maurer. Dr. Ejeta still teaches at the Purdue University Glenn W. Sample School of Agriculture in West Lafayette.

“My dad has always believed in following and pursuing your interests and passions,” shares Burnett. “He’s always encouraged my brothers and me to do so, as he certainly has followed his.”

One hobby turned into a gorgeous coffee table book, “Water Colors,” a stunning collection of underwater photography of creatures barely noticed by the naked eye. Aside from one photo of his beautiful wife hidden in a school of fish, all other photographs are of objects no bigger than a fingernail. The quality of the photographs look to be from one of National Geographic’s veteran underwater photographers.

“One snowy weekend, I thought I would arrange my underwater photographs into a book,” recalls Maurer. “One year later, the book went to print.”

In his most recent book, “10 Essential Principles of Entrepreneurship,” Maurer features life lessons you never learned in school. He dedicates the book to his father, Julius Maurer, and his Uncle Mickey.

“My dad and uncle owned Maurer Brothers Auto Parts at Ninth and Senate Avenue,” shares Maurer. “Out on the fence was a sign that read, ‘If you can’t stop in, smile as you go by.’” The lessons shared in the book are illustrated with examples of Maurer’s friends, including Martha Hoover, who exemplifies redefining “barriers to entry.” Hoover is not mentioned once but four times throughout the book.

“I am fortunate to be able to call Mickey Maurer a mentor, as well as a friend,” shares Hoover. “So often people refer to him as a ‘serial entrepreneur,’ but really he is a ‘serial mentor.’ Always generous to me personally, to countless others and to the community at large, Mickey gives of his time, talent and treasure.

“I never walk away from even a chance meeting without learning something. Mickey’s worldview is progressive and big picture, yet his impact is local.

Unlike others in his position, he freely and graciously continues to share his knowledge.”

Hoover’s Patachou, Inc. proudly provides sponsorship for Mickey’s Camp, a unique camping experience Maurer created 15 years ago. What if you could combine two and a half days of fun events, relaxation and networking in a different environment than you are used to?

Mickey’s Camp splits the week between the women and the men, enabling a fun networking experience for their campers, and it’s partially tax-deductible.

“It was always a dream of mine to have a camp where you can learn new skills from the best, so billiards is taught by world ranking professionals Jeanette Lee and her husband George Breedlove,” says Maurer, mentioning only a couple of


the 40+ activities on the list of options. “A camper can learn how to play Texas Hold’em from World Series of Poker champion Linda Johnson.”

Since its inception 15 years ago, Mickey’s Camp has raised and donated over $2 million to local charities. Descending on Bradford Woods are 125 women and 125 men to immerse themselves in activities taught by the best in their fields.Burnett joined event manager extraordinaire Kari Strolberg in coordinating all camp activities, meals and logistics. Not only does Burnett get to work with Mickey’s Camp, but this enables her to work closely with her dad, gleaning knowledge from him.

“You can’t get a better teacher than my dad,” says Burnett. “He is patient and encouraging, and while he may steer me a bit, he is always there for me. I love being

with my dad and watching him in action.”

“This is the ninth year for women and the 15th year for men,” shares Strolberg. “We have many repeat campers, but new campers are always welcome.”

And thanks to donors like Patachou, Inc., campers experience incredible meals. “We have amazing partnerships providing our meals such as Patachou, Scholars Inn, Palomino, Kahn’s Catering, Traders Point Creamery, Amore, Sullivan’s and Shapiro’s, to name a few!” says Burnett. “We are so grateful for all of our sponsors!”

“Mickey’s Camp is a rewarding experience with so many stories,” shares Strolberg. “It is a great opportunity to try new things, and it can be whatever you want it to be. There are people who do wine tasting, gourmet cooking and anything that isn’t fitness related. There is something for

everyone, no matter what kind of person you are, athletic or not, and each camper can choose eight options from over 40 activities, which encourages campers to come back and try more things.”

“Similar to Dr. Seuss’ ‘Green Eggs and Ham’ lesson, how do you know you don’t like them unless you try?” adds Burnett. “After all, trying something new might spark an unknown passion or skill.”

Maurer and his wife, Janie, have three children and nine grandchildren.

New Magazine to Change the Face of High School Sports

Writer / Keeley Miller . Photographer / Brian Brosmer

Next month, a new magazine will be hitting your mailboxes. Mascot Monthly, a full color sports magazine, will connect local school athletics to their communities, beginning with Hamilton Southeastern. The Mascot Monthly will reach over 16,000 people every month through direct mailing to every HSE school district home as well as free distribution at the games.

"My initial reaction was that this could be unbelievable to promote HSE Athletics," said Greg Habegger, athletic director at HSE. "It’s been interesting to me in this office that people in this day and age get their news in different ways. Obviously they can go to their phones and look up Twitter or look up a website. Instantly I thought this is going to fill a void that people are looking for."

With 3,000 students, it can be easy for athletes to be lost in the crowd, especially in smaller sports. There are so many students with stories that never get shared – the female wrestler, the freshman that runs half marathons, the sophomore from Japan that plays baseball because it reminds him of his life back home. Mascot Monthly is a place for these stories, regardless of whether they are the senior football star or the freshman lacrosse newbie.

"Something that we believe in as an athletic department is we never use the phrase ‘major and minor sports.’ To those athletes and to those parents and grandmas and grandpas, they’re all major, and they should be," said Jim Self, co-athletic director at HSE. "I sometimes think when you look at local newspapers, basketball and football are covered really well. But we’re really proud of all of our sports. We’ve got kids doing great things in all of our sports, and sometimes that’s hard to get that message out there, what kids are accomplishing in some of our other sports that aren’t basketball and football."

Mascot Monthly will feature student athletes, their coaches, their fans and their teams. The magazine will also function as a program at sporting events. From the publishers of the TownePost Network as well as former Indianapolis Colts Marketing Director and sports columnist Ray Compton, Mascot Monthly will share stories through print, video and social media.

"The Mascot is different because it will be the first monthly publication dedicated only to a high school’s sports activities. It will be the hyper local journalism that we have been doing for 11 years but put into the high school setting," said TownePost Network and Mascot Monthly publisher Tom Britt. "We can provide really good content in a very well-defined market that is not being served at all right now."

Mascot Monthly will benefit the school not only promotionally, but financially. Thousands of dollars from advertising will go straight back to the athletic department with $100 donated for every advertisement.

"We couldn’t be more excited about the potential of working with Mascot. We think that it is going to promote athletics in our community beyond what we can even imagine. We see people getting excited about athletics that maybe didn’t even realize what all went on here. I am amazed that there are still people who don’t know we have 19 sports or state-level competitors in all our sports," said Habegger.

"We are just excited for the opportunity for people to open up a mailer and see what is going on here. Maybe that means that they will come to a game, buy a ticket, buy some concessions and be a part of what we are doing here."

O n June 6, the Commemorative Air Force (CAF) presented their third annual Warbird Expo at the Indianapolis Metropolitan Airport, featuring historic military aircraft.

The Indiana wing of the CAF was inspired by our state’s rich history in aviation to rejuvenate an air show, creating a focused event honoring our veterans and military aircraft.

"With the cancellation of the Indy Air Show, we saw an opportunity to hold an event that represents our mission with CAF, which is veteran-centered, showcasing historic military aircraft and inspiring youth to explore aviation," shares Dennis Schell, Wing Leader for the CAF.

The day was celebrated with a program honoring our veterans. Rides were available in a B-25 bomber, a TBM Avenger, a ’45 Fairchild PT-26A Cornell and a North American AT-6D. Many more aircraft were on display, including military helicopters.

The date was also significant because it marked the 71st anniversary of the Normandy invasion. The program featured special guest speaker WWII veteran Private E. Carver McGriff who was 18 when he came ashore at Omaha Beach. McGriff, who served as Pastor of St. Luke’s United Methodist Church in Indianapolis for 26 years, spoke of his memories of war and why most of the men did not discuss their experiences.

"We had a saying when we returned, ‘I wouldn’t do that again for a million dollars, and I wouldn’t take a million dollars for the experience,’" shares McGriff, who spoke reverently and expressed his sincerest gratitude for all of the troops who served, insisting that the supportive elements of the front lines were as critical as the men at the line.

Governor Pence attended the event. He welcomed and celebrated the veterans present, cited the service of his father in Korea and shared that he’s a proud father of a Marine.

"We were so blessed with the veterans who attended this year, and having the Governor speak at our program was an honor," shares Schell.

It’s the love of military aviation that brought this gathering together. Attending the famous Oshkosh Air Show as a kid inspired Schell to join the U.S. Air Force, where he served as a weapons systems officer in an F-15E. "My position with the USAF was knows as a ‘back seater,’" says Schell.

The CAF runs some of the larger air shows around the country, so it seemed natural to their members to rejuvenate the tradition locally, enlisting the help from others to make the event a success. On hand

were planes belonging to other "wings" of the CAF, such as the Missouri wing who owns and maintains the B-25 that was on hand.

"Honoring our veterans, educating about military aviation history and inspiring youth is what this event is all about," says Chair of Warbird Expo Mark Van Zant, also a USAF veteran. "We are thrilled that our event has grown over the last couple of years, and we’ll be moving it next year to Indianapolis Regional Airport [formerly Mt. Comfort Airport]."

With growth of the air show comes an increased need for additional volunteers. Jill Fewell of VeteransEvents.org and member of the WWII Roundtable, assisted with gathering veterans to the Warbirds Air Show.

"I was thrilled to be involved in gathering and coordinating veterans for honor flights and the Honoring Veterans Program," shares Fewell. "We were able to sponsor their lunch and make it a special day for all of them. If I can help make veterans smile, feel respected and loved, then my job is complete."

Next year’s CAF Warbird Air Show will be held on June 18, 2016, at the Indianapolis Regional Airport. For more information, visit IndianaWingCAF.org or CommemorativeAirForce.org.

Weight loss and fitness challenges are exciting because they’re fun, mix things up and keep you focused on a specific goal. They increase awareness and open the doors to better health.

But not all challenges are created equal, and some challenges can be counterproductive to your health goals. If you’re going to join a short-term challenge this summer, here are five types of programs to AVOID when you’re trying to lose weight.

1. AVOID CHALLENGES JUST FOCUSED ON WORKING OUT. Any approach to wellness, better health and weight management needs to include nutrition, lifestyle changes and fitness.

2. AVOID CHALLENGES THAT DON’T INCLUDE SOUND NUTRITIONAL RESOURCES. Diets are like zombies: dead but they keep coming back to life. Ditch diets and join a program that showing you HOW to eat healthy every day.

3. AVOIDS CHALLENGES NOT FOCUSED ON REVVING YOUR METABOLISM. Weight training done right and smart cardio are the 1-2 punch that ensures you’re NOT wasting your time when you exercise and actually creates the FOUNDATION for a healthy metabolism. Studies show that when you add just five pounds of lean body muscle, your body burns 200 MORE calories each day. That’s revved!

4. AVOID CHALLENGES THAT DON’T SHOW YOU HOW TO MAKE LIFESTYLE CHANGES. For example, the Free Day Concept is critical. It’s a bad idea to workout every day, and it’s a bad idea to be on some eating plan or cleanse for extended periods of time without short breaks.

5. AVOID CHALLENGES THAT LACK SOLID ACCOUNTABILITY. If you fall off, will anyone notice? Join a challenge that wants you to succeed and will provide support to make that happen.

The first ever "Arts Crawl" will be held in the Nickel Plate District this month, showcasing the work of local artists before one of the popular AMP After Dark concerts.

The free Arts Crawl is a collaboration between the City of Fishers, the Fishers Arts Council and the Nickel Plate District.

They have paired artists with businesses for one night, so visitors can stop in different stores and restaurants and see artwork from more than two dozen local and regional artists.

Lisa Vielee of the Fishers Arts Council says the first Arts Crawl is great for business and the artists alike.

"With all the new development in Fishers, people are visiting the restaurants and boutiques and coming in for the AMP After Dark concerts, so it’s a great way to entertain our visitors as well as showcase our local businesses and artists," says Vielee.

One of the artists featured at the Arts Crawl will be Warren Miller, a well-known Indianapolis artist who will have his artwork at the new Brixx Pizza in the heart of the downtown development.

To find your way around the Arts Crawl, an electronic map will be added to the Nickel Plate District app.

To learn more about the businesses/artists pairings, go to the City of Fishers website at fishers.in.us.
