If you’ve seen Geist United

Opposition President Pete

Peterson on the local news,

speaking on behalf of the Geist

residents caught in the Fishers

annexation, you probably

picked up on his East Coast

accent. He’s not originally

from Geist, not even Indiana,

but Geist residents sure are glad

he’s called this his home.

Pete’s path to Geist started in

1979 when he left his home-

town of Cheshire, Connecticut,

to attend Ball State University.

“I wanted to be a landscape

architect and be the next Robert

Trent Jones, designing golf

courses,” Pete said. “A couple

semesters later, I transferred

into the School of Business. I

didn’t like all the art.”

After graduating from Ball

State, Pete moved - and

moved a lot. Working for an

automotive OEM firm, he

Everywhere I turn these days

I’m reminded that summer

break is officially over.

There’s the school supply list

stuck to my refrigerator door.

Then there’s the pile of ads on

my kitchen counter, packed

with deals from retailers vying

for my back-to-school dollars.

After carefully drawing up my

plan of attack, I hop into my

van and set out to conquer

back-to-school shopping.

As I pull out of my

neighborhood, I can’t help

but remember one item at the

top of every school supply list:

No. 2 pencils.

The reminder comes in the

form of a six-foot, neon yellow

pencil standing proud – and

looking sharp, I might add –

among the other trees on the

only non-subdivided acreage

along Oaklandon Road north of

Fox Road. You could say this

Geist landmark really

makes a point.

I knocked on the door

at 8404 Oaklandon

Road expecting to

find a school teacher.

Who else would want

a giant pencil in their

yard?

I was surprised to find

out that neither Bob

nor Elizabeth Young

have any teaching

background. The cou-

ple, who have lived on

the property for 27 years, have

watched the corn and bean

fields that used to surround

them suddenly sprout up hun-

dreds of new neighbors. A

paved pedestrian path on the

west side of Oaklandon now

allows those neighbors a close

migrated south to Nashville,

Tennessee, up north to

Chicago, back to Nashville,

then to South Carolina with

stints in Charlotte and

Green ville, and finally to Santa

Ana, California. It was in

sunny southern California that

Pete met his wife Robin, a

native of Newport Beach.

“We lived in Newport for over

10 years, and I knew it wasn’t

the place to raise our kids,”

Pete explained. “Personal

income tax was 11% in

California, we couldn’t leave

our kids out in the yard and

there was no sense of commu-

nity whatsoever. We only knew

one neighbor and we lived

there for 10 years! Everybody

just stayed to themselves. We

had our mind made up to

move.”

A long weekend trip back to

Indiana made the decision on

where to move a little easier.

“Robin and I came back to

Indy for a 40th birthday party

in Gray Eagle for Leslie

Buckner ,” Pete recalls. “We

flew in on Thursday, looked at

some houses on Friday and

then went to the party with all

my friends from Ball State on

Saturday. Come Sunday, Robin

did not want to go back.”

Fraternity friend, custom

homebuilder and host of the

40th birthday party, Tom

Grinslade built their home in

Canal Place, and the Petersons

made the big move in the fall

of 2002. For Pete, it was the

return to his old college stomp-

ing grounds. For Robin, it was

her first bout with Indiana

winters.

Life was going along well for

the Petersons at Geist. That is

until they received a tax assess-

ment last fall from Hamilton

County.

“They were assessing my home

for $300,000 more than what I

paid for it! That really got

under my skin.”

A few weeks later, Pete was

talking to Cambridge resident

Lisa Verona at the Fort Ben

YMCA, where the discussion

centered on the Fishers annexa-

tion of Geist. “She was telling

me about an email she got from

Mike Fisher (Cambridge resi-

dent), who was on the Geist

United Opposition board. His

email led me to Rachel Quade

(also in Cambridge), and she

invited me to come to one of

their weekly meetings right

after New Years.”

Pete was elected to the GUO

board that evening, and within

a few weeks he was elected as

President of the organization. If

you spend five minutes with

Pete, you will understand why.

“I’ve got an English bulldog

named Linus,” Pete said. “You

know how bulldogs get when

they have their sites set on

something; they don’t let up on

it. I’m a lot like Linus.”

His bulldog tenacity is conta-

gious. Pete has been a visible

and vocal opponent of the

forced annexation of Geist by

the Town of Fishers. In addi-

tion to leading the bi-weekly

GUO meetings, he’s also

helped orchestrate a fundrais-

ing campaign that has generat-

ed over $90,000 for the anti-

annexation legal fund.

encounter with the man-sized

pencil.

The story of the giant pencil

started four years ago with a

common problem: What to do

with a dead tree. The creative

solution was inspired by the

Young’s daughter, Angie Apley,

who lives near Indian Lake.

It turns out Angie had the same

problem a few years earlier and

transformed a dead tree in her

yard into a pencil. But Angie

can’t take all the credit, either.

She fashioned her pencil after

one sculpted by family friend

Todd Riefer.

So maybe the Young’s pencil is

really a No. 3 pencil, but don’t

tell that to the kids who wander

off the path to hug the giant

writing utensil.

“They always ask if it’s a No. 2

pencil,” Elizabeth says. “I say,

‘Oh yes, it’s a No. 2 pencil.’”

The Young’s son, Rick, used a

chainsaw to shape the old

stump and give it a point any

schoolteacher would be proud

of. Every couple of years,

Elizabeth gives it a fresh coat

of Crayola Fuchsia Yellow

paint.

Over the years, the Youngs

have received lots of comments

on their pencil.

“A friend of mine says it’s a

hillbilly yard,” Bob said.

However, the pencil usually

receives good marks. The

Youngs’ nine grandchildren and

seven great-grandchildren love

having their picture taken with

it. One time, a woman anony-

mously left a pencil picture

frame in their mailbox with a

note saying how much she

enjoyed the giant pencil.

Especially during this time of

year the pencil stands as a

reminder to students, teachers

and even us parents to stay

sharp – and don’t forget to buy

those No. 2 pencils!

Ironically, the Peterson’s home

is only a couple hundred yards

down the street from the

President of the Fishers Town

Council, Scott Faultless.

“It has been great getting to

know all the other GUO board

members and all the people

I’ve met through this process,”

Pete said. “This has really

brought our community togeth-

er and given us all an opportu-

nity to meet our neighbors

across the lake. I wanted to live

somewhere where I would

know my neighbors; I just

never imagined it would come

about this way.”

As the leader of the anti-annex-

ation efforts, Pete also had

some advice for Geist resi-

dents:

“Don’t fall asleep. Just because

it appears as though nothing is

going on, Fishers isn’t going to

let this go away.”

A taste of the downtown art

scene is coming to Lucky Lou

on Thursday, August 31 for an

evening of art, music, wine and

giving back. Store co-owners

Danielle Luhmann and Heather

Pirowski are hosting a Pre-

Oranje Party to feature works

of some of the artists partici-

pating in Oranje, an annual

interactive art and music event

taking place in downtown

Indianapolis on September 16.

The Oranje event will feature

everything from art to music to

fashion to film, and this pre-

view party will showcase just a

few of those artists.

Tying all of this into our local

community, Lucky Lou will

donate 10% of store sales from

the entire day to Creating

Hope, a local organization that

provides art kits to cancer

patients in the community. “We

felt it was a perfect fit to give

back from our Pre-Oranje Party

to this local cause that helps

people through art,” explained

Pirowski. Addition ally, Oranje

organizers Adam Crockett and

Ryan Hickey will donate $5

from every Oranje ticket sold

at the preview party to Creating

Hope. “This is an exciting

event for us. It’s a wonderful

example of community support

for a great cause, and we are so

grateful to Lucky Lou and

Oranje for their generosity,”

expressed Tina Gianfagna,

President of Creating Hope.

The Pre-Oranje party is free,

open to the public and will take

place at the Lucky Lou store

from 7-9 p.m. Music, food,

wine and artists’ works will be

on display and for sale. “This

will be a cool modern event

bringing the arts of downtown

up here to the northeast side.

We are doing this to help pro-

mote the arts in our community

and give to a very worthwhile

cause,” said Pirowski.

Visit www.shopluckylou.com

for further details on the Pre-

Oranje Party. Lucky Lou is

located at 8962 E. 96th Street,

tion and tickets to Oranje visit

If you’ve driven Carroll Road

lately, you’ve no doubt noticed

the activity just south of 96th

Street on the east side of the

road, bordering the town of

McCordsville in Hancock

County. There now stands a

sign announcing the new Geist

Woods Estates development.

For years, we’ve wondered

what would unfold for that

heavily wooded property and

attractive location.

Curtis Rector, owner and

founder of Arbor Homes of

Indianapolis, has partnered

with Rory Underwood of Revel

and Underwood LLC to form

TEXMI, LLC. Together they

will develop the new custom

home residential community.

The purchase of the prime real

estate was not without chal-

lenges. Discussions with the

landowners began in March of

2004 with the zoning and

approval processes; the con-

struction of the first section

was finally able to begin in

July of 2006.

Richard Henderson, Construc -

tion Manager for the project, is

also with Arbor Homes.

Bringing his 20 years experi-

ence in the field, Henderson

has participated in the pur-

chase, zoning, platting and con-

struction of the property. The

primary obstacles TEXMI

faced were regarding access,

sanitary service, wetlands,

architectural standards and

price, according to Henderson.

“It was a difficult process,

worsened by remonstrations

from residents of surrounding

properties as well as worried

town and county officials,” he

reports.

The original plan was for Geist

Woods Estates to be an exclu-

sive Silverthorne Homes cus-

tom home development. Along

with the concerns for access,

pricing and style, the neighbor-

ing residents protested that

Silverthorne Homes was not a

true high-end custom builder,

given they would build a model

on site, and buyers would

select from their broad range of

house plans to which custom

modifications would be made.

Henderson explains that “a

compromise was reached

allowing Silverthorne 50% of

the community, with the rest

open to a minimum of six other

custom home builders who

meet the development’s archi-

tectural standards and hold

membership in BAGI (Builders

Association of Greater

Indianapolis).”

The Silverthorne model, and

another by Bedrock Homes,

will begin construction this

October. The remaining

builders are invited to build

models or spec homes, but it is

expected most will prefer to

secure a buyer for each build-

ing site before commencing

any construction.

At a glance, it is clear TEXMI

has placed great emphasis on

the integrity of the natural

beauty of the site. Mature trees

are being preserved throughout

the property platted into 82

lots, each having a minimum

lot size of 95’ x 150’ on 52.736

acres. According to the Geist

Woods Estates Commitments

and Standards, 25% of the

community is wooded open

space, including a wetland, a

retention pond, an existing

creek and streams running

through three common areas.

The builders will be responsi-

ble for preserving existing trees

as are feasible or practical on

each lot.

All Geist Woods Estates homes

must meet the Architectural

Standards for Residential

Districts identified by the

McCordsville Overlay

Ordinance, subject to certain

modifications: All homes will

have a 3-car side load or court-

yard garage; at least 50% of the

front façade of all homes shall

be masonry; natural wood

materials, masonry, or fiber

cement board siding shall be

used whereas vinyl and alu-

minum siding material shall be

prohibited; every home will

include a basement, and vinyl

clad windows; all homes will

have upgraded cabinets; and

ceramic or better flooring in all

bathrooms. All model homes

will be priced at or above

$450,000, which is to be the

average price of homes built in

the community.

As all things are relative, terms

like “affordable” and “custom”

in reference to homes are not

equal to every potential buyer.

Any new construction is a

“custom” home when the buyer

dictates to the builder the

design, style, specifications and

amenities of choice. One could

argue that price determines

whether or not a home is cus-

tom, while someone else bases

that judgment on the origin of

the floor plan. By one stan-

dard, $450,000 or above is cer-

tainly a custom home price tag,

but to another standard that

might not be “affordable,”

whether custom or not. What

is unquestioned is that Geist

Woods Estates is going to be a

beautiful setting for upscale

homes that are affordable, and

comparable at the very least, to

homes in the bordering neigh-

borhoods. And for those of us

who have a fondness for new

construction, design, style and

quality, it will be a pleasure to

watch the progress.

Everything She TouchesTurns to SSOOLLDD!!

By Jill [email protected]

Have you seen the most talked

about car in Geist gliding on

roads near the lake? Taking

Geist by “Storm”, a 1982

Silver Spur Rolls Royce with a

rich history has rolled into

town. The quite lavishly paint-

ed Rolls Royce has been flying

around Geist with an unusual

past. But where did it originate

and how did it get here?

It all started in the 1980’s with

Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, the

head of a commune in Oregon.

He had a following of approxi-

mately 2,500 people who were

called Sannyassins. His philos-

ophy included “getting beyond

his limits” and nature.

Rajneesh’s dream was to build

a fleet of 365 luxury cars, one

for each day of the year. In

exchange for prayers, he would

accept cars, especially Rolls

Royces!

One of his followers, Swami

Peter, would custom paint his

cars often reflecting a physical

item such as the colors of his

kim ono, a Christmas ornament,

or a symbol of nature. Each

custom painting would have

cost up to $30,000. There is

actual video tape of Rajneesh

riding in his car being pelted

with flowers during one of his

rides through the commune.

The Geist Rolls is known as

“The Sun and The Storm”. It

was the first Rolls Royce in

this fleet to be painted. It

reflects that all is in constant

motion as the scene moves

from the blue sky and sun to

gray sky and storms / lightning

bolts. Also, the car is unique

because it is the only vehicle in

the fleet that graphically repre-

sents Rajneesh because the

bright light of the sun (like the

light of his wisdom) is more

prominent around the driver’s

window. The Storm is also

said to be in a state of tran-

sience, taking one from the

serene of the sun to the rocky

storm.

In November of 1985,

Rajneesh was deported back to

India, his native country, for

immigration law violations

while his commune was left to

disband and sell its assets. A

car dealer named Robert

Roethlisberger in Dallas, Texas

heard about the fleet of cars for

sale and purchased them for

around $6 million. He was

going to sell a lot of the cars,

but in March of 1986 he died

suddenly of a brain tumor. In

the same year in Auburn,

Indiana the last of the cars

became available for purchase

Fashion and a little compassion

helped make the annual

Summer Open House in Geist a

success once again. Every year

I team up with AH Collection’s

Anne White, Holly Kirsch and

more than a dozen “mompre-

neurs” to offer a one-day shop-

ping extravaganza.

The offerings include hand-

bags, clothing, handmade jew-

elry, cosmetics, hand painted

glassware, home accessories

and handmade bags for the

beach and baby, too!

It’s an opportunity for area

entrepreneurs to showcase their

wares and a chance for shop-

pers to pick up some one-of-a-

kind finds. The event has

grown so quickly over the last

four years that

we now donate

a portion of

the proceeds

and accept

donations for a

good cause.

This year we

raised about

$1,500 dollars

for five-year-

old Jackson

Palmer of

Fishers, who was diagnosed

earlier this year with a very

rare and aggressive form of

cancer.

We now call the annual shop-

ping delight the “Compassion

is always in Fashion” Open

House, hosted by Pat Carlini

and the AH Collection. We

couldn’t be more pleased with

the turnout.

Thanks again to all of you who

stopped by not only to support

our local mompreneurs, but

also to help us offer a helping

hand to little Jackson Palmer.

We hope to see you again next

Storm. An Ohio dealer named

Mr. Allan Nott purchased the

Storm which ended up in Lima,

Ohio where it was in storage

and used for parades until pur-

chased by Joe and Cindy

Weingarten in June of 1999.

Incidentally, Mr. Alan Nott also

died after he purchased the

remaining cars which makes

one wonder if the fleet of cars

is indeed cursed. Okay, maybe

it was just old age!

Joe and Cindy moved to the

Geist area in January 2006

bringing with them the Storm.

The car only has 9,100 miles

on it and is in immaculate con-

dition! Look for the Storm

around town and give Joe and

Cindy a wave! The car has

been featured in “LifeMagazine” (Feb 86) and “TheFlying Lady” (Nov/Dec 00).

The rising heat didn’t stop

Mindy and Scott Smith from

staging their ceremonial ground

breaking of their preschool,

Primrose School, on Tuesday

morning, July 25. The Smiths

were joined by family, friends,

town of Fishers officials,

Primrose representatives, Riley

Hospital officials and the

Primrose mascot Percy to break

ground on the new construc-

tion. During the ceremony the

Smiths made a book donation

to Riley Children’s Hospital

through the Reach out and

Read charity program.

“Primrose is different in so

many ways that we felt our

ground breaking had to be dif-

ferent too,” explained Mindy,

“and our donation was a great

way to give something back to

the community. We had the

children pull the wagons and

donate the books so they could

experience the joy of giving,

which is great character devel-

opment learning.”

The new Primrose School will

be a private preschool offering

childcare for infants through

kindergarten and after school

care for children up to 12 years

of age. The facility will be over

10,000 square feet when com-

pleted, with eleven classrooms

and four age-appropriate play-

grounds. Nestled in the

Hamilton Southeastern school

hub area, the Primrose School

will be conveniently located

just north of Fall Creek

Elementary School at 12290

Olio Road.

The motivation of the Smiths

to open a Primrose School goes

back to their experience with

one while living in Colorado.

They enrolled their first child

in the Primrose School in

Colorado Springs and had an

overwhelmingly positive expe-

rience. “Our first impression of

the school, and every time

thereafter, was that everyone

was genuinely happy to be

there—kids and teachers alike.

It was very inviting, a place

where you just wanted your

kids to be,” says Mindy. “The

staff there became like family

to us; they truly cared about

our son, and we felt very safe

placing him there,” she adds.

When the Smith’s jobs brought

them to Indy and with a new

baby in the family, they

searched for care equivalent to

what they had experienced in

Colorado but never found a

place that felt the same to them

as Primrose.

They felt so strongly about

finding childcare similar to

their Primrose experience that

they decided to take matters

into their own hands and open

their own Primrose School in

Fishers. As timing would have

it, the Primrose School

Franchising Company had

already selected Fishers and

Carmel as locations for expan-

sion when the Smiths came

calling. That was in December

of 2004, and in May of 2005

the Smiths signed their

Primrose franchisee agreement

for the Fishers location. This

led to the land development

process with Gradison Land

Development, Inc., which led

to the receipt of the official

building permit from the town

on Fishers on Monday, July 24

(the day before the ground

breaking), which has led to

construction and the plan to be

open for business in January

2007. Needless to say it’s been

quite a journey for the Smiths,

one that is bringing a caliber of

childcare they desire for their

own children to families in the

Geist and Fishers communities

to experience as well.

For the Smiths, the Primrose

“Balanced Learning” philoso-

phy is one aspect that really

sets it apart from the rest, one

that incorporates a blend of

child-initiated and teacher-

directed activities with a focus

on character and values. Low

student/teacher ratios, use of

technology to reinforce learn-

ing, enrichment programs

through music, Spanish and

physical fitness and trained

professional teachers are other

key attributes of Primrose

Schools. The Smiths feel confi-

dent parents and children will

feel the difference at Primrose

once they see and experience it

for themselves.

The Primrose School is

enrolling now for 2007.

317-577-9480 and visit

www.primroseschools.com/

information.

“Primrose is different in so manyways that we felt ourground breaking hadto be different too.”

Hamilton Southeastern Schools

comed 1,460 students on open-

ing day in Grades 9-11. In

2007-08, the school will house

over 1,900 students in Grades

9-12 and celebrate its first

graduating class.

The school is located at 13000

Just because you’re over 30

doesn’t mean you have to leave

fashion behind. But shopping

in the Juniors section for mini

skirts, hoop earrings and halter

tops won’t do, either.

Ladies of Geist, Yaprak

Yorulmaz is here to help. This

Turkey-born mom of two has

just opened Yaprak Design

Studio and Boutique at 11230

Fall Creek Road, next to Geist

Market. Yaprak specializes in

custom-designed jewelry and

one-of-a-kind clothing and

accessories.

“I’m totally geared to women

who don’t want to look like

their teenage daughter, but they

don’t want to look like their

mother, either,” Yaprak said.

Her business began a decade

ago as a hobby, born out of

what Yaprak refers to as “des-

peration.” As a petite woman,

she found it hard to find jewel-

ry that suited her style and

body type. Most pieces looked

too heavy and masculine, she

said.

So Yaprak began taking exist-

ing pieces of jewelry apart and

redesigning them. Eventually,

she started totally designing

and making her own. Now she

leases a studio in San Diego to

mass produce her prototypes,

but it’s still all hand-made, she

said.

“Everything in here is truly

one-of-a-kind,” Yaprak said.

“No two are exactly alike.”

Yaprak believes her designs

appeal to women of all body

shapes and sizes. Her necklaces

use lots of wire work (either

sterling silver or 14K gold)

with organic materials like lava

and wood, true gemstones and

vintage beads.

“It doesn’t look clunky,” she

said. “There’s always some-

thing very feminine about it.”

Until recently, Yaprak sold

most of her pieces to specialty

stores, at trade shows or online

(www.yaprakdesigns.com).

But June 16 marked the open-

ing of her self-named, Geist

boutique, where she sells much

more than her custom-designed

jewelry.

Yaprak aims to help her cus-

tomers achieve a complete

look, down to the shoes, jacket

and handbag. Her regulars rely

on her to outfit them with

clothing and accessories that

are right for their personality

and body type. Most clothing

in the store fits sizes 2-10.

Yaprak carries labels from sev-

eral up-and-coming designers,

including her new favorite,

Tom Nguyen. She has also

ventured into clothing design

herself and is working with a

designer in Los Angeles to pro-

duce her own line called

Yapparel.

When you buy from Yaprak,

the high-fashion outfit you

walk out with won’t be a clone

of your neighbor’s, because

Yaprak only orders six or less

of the same item (in different

sizes). That means you won’t

walk into a meeting or social

gathering and find someone

else with an identical blouse or

skirt.

In fact, Yaprak promises never

to re-order any piece of cloth-

ing in her shop, even if it was a

best-seller. In a small commu-

nity like Geist, women appreci-

ate having a unique look, she

said.

You may think this adds up to

hefty pricetags, but Yaprak’s

customers don’t pay a high

price for fashion. Longtime

friend and regular customer

Karen Farrell says she usually

finds items at half the price she

would in other boutiques.

“I want things to turn,” Yaprak

said. “I want them to be sold.”

After interviewing Yaprak, I

couldn’t resist trying on a few

items myself. Yaprak was

helpful, not pushy, and she

truly wanted to find clothing

that fit my personality and

sense of style. It’s that person-

al touch, along with the con-

stant freshness of her inventory,

that keep her customers coming

back.

“She’s as honest and kind as

the day is long,” said Farrell.

September is Grand Opening

month for Yaprak, and she

plans a month-long celebration

with different specials each

week. Yaprak is hoping the

women of Geist will visit her

from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Mondays through Saturdays to

find a look that’s “unique,

chique and one-of-a-kind.”

From depot to post office to

coffee shop to the classic gath-

ering-place coffee house—Java

Junction’s history is as solid

and significant as its architec-

ture. And more importantly, its

preservation is in very good

hands under the new ownership

of Jim Greenberg. The pictures

on the walls, of its origin as the

Fort Harrison Interurban

Station, built in 1906, are an

indication of Greenberg’s

understanding of the direction

the Fort Harrison community

has taken in blending expan-

sion with historic preservation.

The Indianapolis Interurban

was the electric railway system

providing transport from

Indianapolis to Anderson, Fort

Wayne, Kokomo, Lafayette,

Marion, Muncie, South Bend

and Terre Haute. It served well

the soldiers stationed at Fort

Harrison through the war years.

Then in 1946 the government

designated the building as a

United States Post Office, and

it remained such until 1998.

That year Dr. George Vail

acquired the old depot, restored

it to the Reuse Authority stan-

dards and opened for business.

The Vail family named their

new coffee shop Java Junction

and enjoyed a successful opera-

tion for several years.

The junction had a second brief

run with another owner, then

was closed and left vacant for

about eight months. Enter Jim

Greenberg.

“Coffee is my passion,” says

Greenberg, who in 1971 as a

college student in Bloomington

opened his first coffee house—

about the same time Starbucks

emerged on the Seattle scene.

He had been running the

Student Union Coffee House

on the IU campus and wanted

the opportunity to offer “real”

coffee and entertainment.

Scouring the coffee houses in

Chicago and Cincinnati for

ideas and feasibility, but not

finding one to duplicate, he

resorted to his own creativity.

Espresso seemed the obvious

innovation, and he set out to

find the right machine, collect-

ing info at restaurant shows in

Chicago. He found only one

person selling espresso

machines; he bought one and

was trained in taking it apart

and putting it back together,

knowing if it malfunctioned

there was no one else to call

The Two Bit Rush Coffee

Company was established as a

community gathering place

where your cup of coffee

cost—you guessed it, two bits!

Jim Greenberg saw to it that no

one in his establishment (800

square feet housing nine tables)

would ever sit alone. He calls it

“forced socialization.” He cre-

ated his own menu and invent-

ed drinks, including the frap-

puccino, which in those days

he called the frosted mocha.

Two more of Greenberg’s cof-

feehouses opened—one at Ball

State U. in Muncie and one at

Purdue U. in Lafayette.

Always moving forward, the

coffeehouse entrepreneur sold

in 1982 and went back to

school to finish up his degrees

in sociology and telecommuni-

cations. Thereafter, he worked

six years for a direct marketing

agency in Indianapolis, then in

the wholesale mortgage busi-

ness from the early 90s until

this past April. Greenberg

bemuses, “no pun intended, but

I got tired of the corporate

grind,” and, turning to the

grind he loves, started looking

to buy a coffee house. There

were many from which to

choose at the time, and Java

Junction was found upon

answering an ad.

The Junction, though a bit dirty

and run down, was still impres-

sive. The locals, very support-

ive of the coffee shop as a

community gathering place,

were eager to have it open

again, and Jim Greenberg was

eager to bring the great old

architectural gem back to life.

According to Jim, the most

important element in coffee

selection is the roaster. “I’m a

firm believer in surrounding

myself with people smarter

than I,” he jokes, and after

reading a book written by

Harvard grad and owner of the

Crimson Cup, a coffee roaster

company, he went for a visit to

that enterprise. “I found the

coffee, the people and the sup-

port to be unparalleled,” he

said. “I liked their philosophy

and the fact that they support

independent coffee houses.”

Jim has great insight into the

coffee business, as evidenced

by his observation that “blend-

ed coffee is an art form.

Armando’s is a blend that was

in the making for years and is

the best blend ever.” The

Crimson Cup supplies the

Junction’s coffee and related

products.

Currently Java Junction offers

a full menu of coffee drinks. Its

signature drink is the Java

Junction Mocha, served hot,

cold or frozen. It’s priced lower

than all other mochas in town

and is a blend of white choco-

late, milk, whipped cream, and

caramel . . . and rich, robust

java, of course.

Teas, iced or hot are served, as

well as smoothies for kids,

non-coffee mochas, pastries,

muffins, coffee cakes and

cheese cakes. A light lunch of

smoked turkey or club sand-

wiches is available, and the

offering of soup, salads and

bagels is in development. “The

menu is constantly expanding

and changing,” Jim adds.

Java Junction is located at 5625

Lawton Loop, right across 56th

Street from the Finance Center

at the Fort. Its 2100 square feet

of space provides seating for

The Windermere swim team

wrapped up the end of its sea-

son with a rocking party on

Friday, July 21. Food, drink

and a DJ made it a fun night

for kids and parents as they

celebrated the season and the

success of their swim-a-thon to

raise money for Creating Hope.

About 75 swimmers participat-

ed in the fundraiser, swimming

as many laps as they could and

receiving a certificate for their

achievement. The entry fee for

each swimmer was $10. Entry

fees and donations to the

swim-a-thon totaled $1,000,

which was presented in a check

to Tina Gianfagna, President of

Creating Hope, at the awards

ceremony that evening.

“We wanted the kids to partici-

pate in doing something for

others, something right here in

our community where it affects

people here,” explained Laura

Pulos, Vice President of the

Windermere Swim Team. This

is the second year the

Windermere Swim Team has

done a fundraiser, and the team

plans do a fundraiser again

next year for a different local

cause. Needless to say they’d

like to make giving back an

annual tradition.

For our July outing, the Dining

Divas decided to go for a relax -

ed atmosphere and headed to

Bazbeaux in Broad Ripple for

gourmet pizza. Originally locat-

ed across the street from its cur-

rent location, Bazbeaux Pizza

has been in Broad Ripple since

1986 and was the first pizzeria

in the state to offer pies baked

with whole wheat crust. While

outside seating is available

either in front or on the rooftop

deck, our group chose to dine

inside. The interior has an

industrial feel, with exposed

ductwork and unique wall-

hang ings, and can easily

accommodate small and large

parties. While loud at times,

Bazbeaux offers a comfortable,

casual dining atmosphere for all

age groups. Our group of seven

Divas was quickly seated with-

out a reservation and immedi-

ately waited on.

Bazbeaux provides an adequate

wine and beer selection; howev-

er, several Divas were disap-

pointed to hear that they could

not have a second glass of their

selection as the limited supply

of the Pinot Grigio had been

exhausted. The wine was served

in unique glasses that resembled

pots, and contained an ample

amount of the beverage.

Many Divas chose salad for a

starter, with the Antipasto

Salad and Salad Nicoise being

the favorites. The Antipasto

Salad offered a huge portion of

tossed salad with a nice mix of

vinaigrette shrimp, Genoa sala-

mi, prosciutto, pepperoni, arti-

choke hearts, sliced onion,

hearts of palm, and pepperoci-

ni. The Salad Nicoise is a

tossed salad which contains

Albacore tuna, anchovies, egg,

pepperocini, red onion, arti-

choke hearts, and hearts of

palm. Both salads offer a gen-

erous portion that could easily

be a complete meal by itself for

someone with a smaller

appetite. Other salads offered

include a Greek Salad, Spinach

Salad, and a Crab Salad.

While the Divas enjoyed the

salads, we couldn’t wait to try

the pizzas. All pizzas are made

with a blend of provolone,

mozzarella, and Pecorino

romano cheeses, homemade

tomato sauce (unless otherwise

noted) and can be made using

either wheat or white crust.

The possibilities for pizza cre-

ations are endless, as Bazbeaux

provides the traditional ingredi-

ents (like mushrooms, green

peppers, ham, bacon, and

choose from one of 20-some

Bazbeaux originals. The Divas

sampled the Greek pizza with

spinach, black olives, red onion

and feta cheese, the Garden

pizza with artichoke hearts,

avocado, spinach, green pep-

per, red onion, black olive, and

ricotta, the Margherita with

fresh tomato, fresh basil, fresh

garlic, fontina cheese only and

contains no sauce, and the

Colossus with pepperoni,

Italian sausage, ham, mush-

room, red onion, green pepper,

and black olive. All the pizzas

were delish but our favorite

was a toss-up between the

Margherita and the Garden.

One Diva opted for a hot sub-

marine sandwich instead of

pizza and was equally pleased.

Other sandwiches on the menu

include the Muffaletta (ham,

Genoa salami, pepperoni, pro-

volone, brown mustard and

spicy olive relish), the Popeye

(spinach, cream cheese, red

onion, green pepper, mush-

room, and cucumber dressing),

Ham, Tuna, or Cheese Baguette

and the Stromboli.

While we thoroughly enjoyed

the food and conversation that

evening (our server Matthew

was adorable and frequently

took part in our conversations),

we opted to forego the sorbetti

and tartufo dessert to take in

Bazbeaux’s quaint Broad

Ripple neighborhood and enjoy

a late summer stroll.

Overall, the Divas were

pleased with our visit to

Bazbeaux Pizza. The casual

dining atmosphere, great pizza,

attentive and personable wait

staff, and reasonable prices,

with your own contribution of

a few wonderful friends, equals

a great summer dining adven-

ture. Be prepared to bring a

few bucks with you to pay for

parking, and the parking lot

fills up quickly so you might

have to drive around a bit to

find a spot.

Dining Divas Scorecard


By Pat [email protected]

It was quite a treat for students

at the Indy Ski School on Geist

this summer as trick skier

Molly Harrison from Skier's

Edge joined them for a day of

fun and instruction on the

water.

Instructor Derek Dechert invit-

ed Molly to join them for a

morning ski lesson in June.

Students Peri Kane, Krista

Whelan, Nicolette Miller,

Alexa Miller and Bailey Paxton

(all under the age of 12) asked

a lot of questions and took

turns trying on Molly’s medal,

engraved “USA National Water

Ski Champions 2nd Place in

Women and Tricks, West Palm,

Florida 2005.”

Molly did some fun twists and

turns on the water. She

explained to the students how

tricks are scored in competition

and that some of the highest

scores come from flips—but

you don’t want to try that your

first time out! The students got

to try on a pair of trick skis,

which some said felt like “real-

ly big shoes.”

Molly’s few minutes on the

water seemed to be enough to

inspire this young group of

Geist skiers. After just a few

attempts all five students got

up behind the boat! It was day

three of their four-day session

and they were finally all up on

skis.

Indy ski school does a great job

with the students every sum-

mer. Most students get up on

skis by the third or final day -

and Derek gets just as excited

as the students do. If

you haven’t checked out

the Indy Ski School for

your kids (or for you),

you might want to look

into it for next summer.

A big thank you goes to

Derek for the great ski

lessons and to Molly

Harrison who shared

some of her valuable experi-

ence with some young and

aspiring skiers. I just might

have to take lessons next year.

Here are excerpts from a news

release that might be of interest

to parents of teenagers. They

were received Wednesday, July

12 from the Indiana House of

Representatives and concern

Indiana’s curfew laws:

House Bill 1232 was passed

overwhelmingly by the House

and Senate to make Indiana’s

curfew law enforceable once

again. Public Law 82

(HB1232) became effective on

July 1st. It allows a minor to be

in public past the time adopted

in a curfew ordinance only if

they have written permission

from a parent to attend the

specified activity. This change

puts back into effect Indiana

Code 31-37-3.

It is a curfew violation for a

child fifteen (15), sixteen (16),

or seventeen (17) years of age

to be in a public place:

(1) between 1 a.m. and 5 a.m.

on Saturday or Sunday;

(2) after 11 p.m. on Sunday,

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,

or Thursday; or

(3) before 5 a.m. on Monday,

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,

or Friday.

It is a curfew violation for a

child less than fifteen (15)

years of age to be in a public

place after 11 p.m. or before 5

a.m. on any day.

A law enforcement officer may

not detain a child or take a

child into custody based on a

violation of this section unless

the law enforcement officer,

after making a reasonable

determination and considering

the facts and surrounding cir-

cumstances, reasonably

believes that:

(1) the child has violated this

section; and

(2) there is no legal defense to

the violation.

In addition, Indiana law (IC

31-37-3-4) allows that, when-

ever a city, town, or county

determines that any curfew

time established by the state (as

listed above) is later than rea-

sonable for public safety under

local conditions, the locality

may advance the curfew time

within its jurisdiction, but by

not more than 2 hours.

You’ve probably seen the con-

struction going on next to Geist

Market at Fall Creek and

Brooks School Road over the

past couple months. Many have

wondered what this place is

going to be, with its cool koi

pond and tile water walls and

bar. It’s not a new restaurant or

bar, but something a bit more

unique—in more ways than

one. It’s Purity Innovative

Water Designs, a custom

designer of indoor and outdoor

water-based designs including

ponds, falls, streams, walls and

just about anything you can

imagine with water running in

it, over it or through it.

Set to open later in August,

Purity’s showroom will give

customers the ability to see and

experience for themselves the

creativity Purity can achieve

with water. Owners, brothers

Jordan and Trevor Harley,

James Meirnyk and David

Miller bring a variety experi-

ence to this endeavor, which

they feel confident will fill a

unique niche in the market-

place. Jordan and James bring

their artistic talents and years

of experience in water design

and landscaping to bear on the

creative side. Trevor and David

manage more the business side

leveraging their years of expe-

rience as owners of their own

telecommunications company.

They’ve been literally sweating

it out the past couple of months

to create some eye-catching

water designs; true works of art

that are sure to impress and

inspire future customers.

There’s been a lot of digging,

hauling, pounding, laying tile,

planting and cleaning…actually

some serious creating going on

over there. It should be a sight

to see once they open their

doors.

“We want to challenge people

to think about what they could

have at their place,” explained

Trevor. And it’s not just about

creating something for the sake

of something. “We can turn a

sore spot into an area of beau-

ty,” he further explained. If you

have a problematic area with

irrigation or drainage, Purity

would approach the solution by

working with the natural sur-

roundings and working to fit it

in artistically to that, blending

The Geist Sertoma Club is con-

tinuing a tradition started by

the former Harrison Sertoma

Club. We are sponsoring a

charity golf tournament (our

11th annual) to assist the chil-

dren of the Family Support

Center of the Indianapolis

Children’s Bureau. This year’s

tournament will be held on

September 14th at Winding

Ridge Golf Club.

Among its many services the

Family Support Center pro-

vides respite care and emer-

gency shelter for children at

risk in Indianapolis who are

less fortunate than ourselves.

Without the services of the

FSC these children might con-

tinue to live in fear and pover-

ty, along with the neglect that

they endure daily.

We would like to invite you to

share your tax deductible

advertising or charity budget

by donating items that could be

used as door prizes or awards

for this event. The donation

could be in the form of mer-

chandise, gift certificates, free

services, discount coupons,

cash, etc. Whatever you could

provide would be greatly

appreciated. Your support is

vital to the success of this

year’s endeavor. Together we

have raised over $10,000 in the

past seven years and look for-

ward to continuing and

expanding this tradition.

All door prize/hole sponsors

will be recognized at the final

awards dinner and in the final

bulletin. Won’t you please

help?

We would like to thank you in

advance for your generous

donation and look forward to

having you participate in this

year’s tournament.

Do you know that Fort

Benjamin Harrison is a State

Park right in the heart of our

community? That the Finance

Center is the United States mil-

itary finance headquarters?

That President Theodore

Roosevelt named the fort in

honor of Indiana’s own U.S.

President Benjamin Harrison,

at the request of Harrison’s

family? That famous Prize

Fighter, Rocky Marciano, was

held in disciplinary barracks

and dishonorably discharged at

Ft. Ben? That German soldiers

were held prisoner at the Fort

in WWII? These facts, and oh

so much more, should entice

residents of our community to

investigate this treasure.

Located in Lawrence

Township, Indianapolis, Fort

Harrison has endured notable

changes in the last 100 years—

and none more dramatic than

its recent transformation into a

residential community, a beau-

tiful State Park and a hub of

commerce.

After the closing in the early

90s, The Fort Harrison Reuse

Authority was originated. It has

created and implemented a well

thought out plan to maximize

the economic potential and

preservation of the natural

resources of the fort, while

maintaining its historical sig-

nificance.

In the past four years, more

than 100 private sector compa-

nies and civic organizations

have brought new jobs and

community support and inter-

action to the area. Within the

Historic District of preserved

original buildings, from the old

post office to a pre WWII bar-

racks, these new enterprises

include a classic coffee house,

a career center for high school

students, a state-of-the-art

YMCA, a hotel and conference

center and lots of office space.

“Colonel’s Row,” the two-story

brick colonials that were for-

merly officers’ quarters, are

now beautifully restored single-

family luxury homes. Some of

these overlook the 39-acre

Lawton Loop, a parade green

used for ceremonies in the days

of troop habitation. The green

is sprawling and beautiful, and

it evokes patriotic nostalgia.

Retired Army Lt. Col. Jim

Spears recalls “we owe our

thanks to a retired Army officer

who saved Lawton Loop from

development in recent years.

An interested party has been

determined to convert the beau-

tiful parade ground into resi-

dential new construction.

However, its would-be savior

“managed to get Lawton Loop

on the National Registry of

Historic Places, making it infi-

nitely difficult to change the

grounds in any way,” reports

Lt. Col. Spears. As one who

treasures his military service

and his experience at Fort Ben,

Spears is pleased with the plan

and performance of the Reuse

Authority’s transformation

efforts, and says, “They’ve

done a good job.”

New construction at the fort

includes condominiums, apart-

ments, a senior living facility, a

medical office complex, an

industrial park and other office

and warehouse space. There

are plans for a new Lawrence

government center and a

library. An architectural stan-

dard has been established and

maintained to ensure aesthetic

consistency of the old and new

in the tradition of Colonial

Revival.

The 1700-acre Fort Harrison

State Park is the first urban

state park and golf course in

the Indiana state park system.

The golf course was purchased

from the Army by the

Department of Natural

Resources and was renovated

by an Indianapolis architect. In

1998 it was recognized by Golf

Magazine as one of the 10 best

public access courses of the

year. The park provides all

you’d expect of a first class

state park: hiking fishing, pic-

nicking, horseback riding, sled-

ding in winter and a year-round

Nature/History Center. Also

part of the Historic District, the

former Officer’s Club, con-

structed prior to 1944 by

German Prisoners of War, is

now the

Garrison Lodge,

which is central

to the park and

golf course.

By the time the

post closed in

1995, many mili-

tary retirees had

made the area

home, attracted by their privi-

leges at the PX and commis-

sary. Though the volume of

business is greatly reduced,

these entities have survived and

remain open to this day. Soon

they will likely be moved to

the site of the old hospital,

freeing the current valuable 12-

acre site for the new govern-

ment center.

Clearly, the careful blending of

old and new, residential and

commercial, recreation and

education has made the best of

the end of an era at “Fort Ben,”

and fosters enthusiasm for the

future. The Geist and Fishers

communities are certainly

favored by the proximity to all

that is available at the fort.

And for those of us in the com-

munity who find great edifica-

tion in our Indiana and U.S.

history, Fort Benjamin

Harrison lures us to learn,

treasure and enjoy its signifi-

cance through simultaneous

preservation and growth.

You have stocked up on

crayons, markers, rulers and

calculators, and the kids have

gone back to school. Where did

the summer go? It went so fast.

The buses and backpacks are

rolling, so make sure to use

extra caution in your neighbor-

hoods or on the roads while

driving by bus stops and school

areas. Let’s make our commu-

nities safe.

Within the first few days of

school, you will be receiving

your children’s school calendar

and you will want to write Fall

break, Thanksgiving, Christmas

and Spring break on your per-

sonal calendar, along with any

half days due to teacher confer-

ences. You will need to start

planning for child care for

those dates and or activities

you can do to ensure these

breaks are a lot of fun.

If you want to plan a vacation

during one of the breaks, then

start booking so you have it all

done in plenty of time. For

ideas on where or tips for trav-

eling with kids try

Travelwithkids.about.com. The

A-Z ideas are wonderful. Other

terrific websites are

www.BookIt.com, www.resort-

sandlodges.com and

www.vacationstogo.com.

Now, I am lucky enough to

have a few friends that happen

to be teachers. I have gotten

some of the best tips from them

about how to supplement what

the kids are learning at school

by visiting some websites to

get worksheets to print out for

extra practice at home. My

favorite website is

www.enchantedlearning.com.

This particular website does

cost twenty dollars per year to

join; however, I have more

than gotten my money’s worth.

I have printed several sheets

off to keep on hand for trips,

breaks, boredom and because

they need the help with a cer-

tain subject.

After Labor Day, the next big

break is Fall break. This year I

know that Hamilton South -

eastern schools have a whole

week off. There are so many

local things to do, you could

fill the week.

For example, the Children’s

Museum will have the annual

Haunted House. Don’t be

alarmed by the word “haunt-

ed,” as they also have “friend-

ly” hours too! Also, my kids

love their website because they

have haunted house games and

coloring. Check it out at

www.childrensmuseum.org.

How about visiting the Zoo?

What a perfect time to see

some of the 500 animals they

have or plants. Did you know

that the Zoo houses 360 differ-

ent species of animals includ-

ing 14 endangered or threat-

ened species? This is just one

of the facts from the Zoo’s fact

sheets on their website

www.indyzoo.com. The

Halloween ZooBoo is from

Oct. 19-22 and Oct. 26-29

should you get a chance to

attend. Make sure you sign up

for a time to watch the Dolphin

Show when you arrive because

the shows fill up quickly!

Another quick tip here is that if

you need to renew or sign up

for a membership, you can do

that at the White River Gardens

building that sits to the left of

the Zoo’s main entrance, as

well as the Zoo which is great

to know because often the

Gardens building is not nearly

as crowded. Don’t be afraid to

check out discounts for differ-

ent employers too, as I paid the

full price for two years and

then found out that we could

have gotten a ten dollar dis-

count for mentioning it.

Want a little more culture?

How about taking a trip to the

Indianapolis Museum of Art.

You would be amazed at how

much it may open the creative

minds of everyone. Get

inspired! The IMA also has

classes for all ages. You can

check out what is on exhibit

and more info at ima-art.org.

The Indiana State Museum is

an often overlooked site, but is

really neat. I enjoyed this

myself just looking at some of

our history. Why not introduce

them to some Indiana history

that a textbook cannot? The

museum also is home to the

Imax Theatre, which is a great

way to watch anything. The

Imax is hosting Dinosaur 3-D

in December - it looks amaz-

ing. I know that last year Polar

Express was on during the holi-

days and you might want to

check both of these out early as

tickets do sell out for these

fairly quick. For more info

check out www.in.gov/ism.

The NCAA Hall of Champions

is in Indianapolis, remember?

Might want to visit the building

and museum to feel the excite-

ment of basketball. For more

information visit

www.ncaa.org.

Finally, make sure you let the

kids have a few days just hang-

ing around home playing out-

side, playing board games or

cards and having a good family

meal together on breaks. It will

mean the most and provide

memories of their youth when

they get older. They really

need some down time to rest

and rejuvenate after being at

school all week. There really is

nothing like being a kid; there

is so much to learn.

Hamilton

Southeastern

Schools has

announced

the reorgani-

zation of the

administra-

tive team at

HSE High

School as a result of the resig-

nation of Principal Robert

Albano, who is taking a central

office position in MSD

Lawrence Township.

Charles Hoover will be recom-

mended to the Board of School

Trustees to assume the role of

interim principal for the 2006-

07 school year. A 19-year HSE

educator and leader, Hoover

has served as a math teacher,

dean and assistant principal.

Rita Reller, with six years as

HSEHS dean, will be interim

assistant principal and

Kathaleena McCord, three-year

science teacher, will become

interim dean of students.

“We are so very fortunate to

have exceedingly talented lead-

ers within our organization.

The staff and administration

have complete confidence in

the abilities of these three indi-

viduals to continue to imple-

ment the programs and support

the initiatives that have made

HSE High School a No Child

Left Behind Blue Ribbon

School,” said Superintendent

Dr. Concetta Raimondi.

The three will be brought

before the Board of School

Trustees for final approval

August 14. For more informa-

tion, contact Dr. Raimondi at

(317) 594-4100 or craimon-
