Time for Some Design Changes By Tom Britt
You were probably a little shocked to see the new Geist Community Newsletter cover design this month. Sometimes the most obvious answers to a problem are the hardest to see. We started in 2004 as the atGeist Community Newsletter by putting the atGeist.com website logo in the upper left hand corner of each cover. My rationale: to make the newsletter look like a website that is being printed and mailed each month. It was effective for the most part, but after five years of publication, I still had people saying “oh, you have a website?” Evidently, putting the atGeist.com logo on the cover wasn’t enough. Last fall we launched the Carmel Community Newsletter and changed the cover masthead to a giant “at” logo in a black box with the word “GEIST” underneath to match our new sister publication in Carmel. Problem was no one
in Carmel knew what the heck that “at” symbol meant. That’s when we started thinking about a new design for the newsletter and the obvious answer arose. With the Carmel Magazine (formerly published by the Indy Star) closed, the door was now open to just put the name of the community on the cover. The result is a new masthead design with the name of the community which they serve, Geist and Carmel, prominently placed at the top of the front cover. We haven’t moved the websites, nor is the “at” logo going away. We’ll continue to use the “at” logo mark as the corporate logo since we use the “at” moniker for all of our online properties (atGeist.com, atCarmel.com, atGeist.net, and so forth). As we grow and offer more services
like GeistTV to our communities, I’m sure we’ll keep tweaking the look and feel of all the properties as they continue to converge. It’s one of the many advantages of being a small familyowned business. A big thanks to my long-time friend and designer, Molly Tippner. I hired her back in 1993 right out of Ball State University and she’s still with me today (not only is she a great designer, she’s tolerant). She’s been helping with ad design and layout part time, but starting this fall, she’ll be doing the design and layout for all of our publications and ads. She an integral part of our success and responsible for the new design I hope you all will enjoy.

Chef Surrounded With Success, Friends catering which now comprise 80% of her business. One could attribute her success to pricing, service, quality of food, or just sheer determination. Several area nonprofits would tell you that it is her willingness to donate food to just about any local cause. When asked to quantify how much of the overall business is donated to local charities, Rockwell glanced at the floor and said quietly “probably 20% or more.”
Jan Schmalbach (front) is happy to be reunited with longtime friend Chef Suzanne Rockwell. Schmalbach joins Rockwell to head up outside sales. By Tom Britt
A small catering and personal chef business is quietly making waves inside the Sterrett Center (8950 Otis Ave.) in the historic Lawrence business district. Chef Suzanne Rockwell decided to go out on her own in April of 2009 after her former employer, the Fox, closed at Fox and Oaklandon Road. She immediately hired her sous chef Vickie Smith and later added Rick Lambert, both also unemployed by the Fox closure. “I like to work with people that I know and trust,” said Rockwell. “We get along great and we all know how to work together, which is huge in this business.” Her most recent hire was perhaps one of Geist’s most likable waitresses, Jan Schmalbach. Formerly with Bella Vita Ristorante, then the Fox and Fireside Grill, Schmalbach was best known for her bubbly personality and funky glasses. For the last six years, Schmalbach has been selling cookies and snacks to Midwestern schools for a company called Darlington Farms. She will now head up the outside sales for Chef Suzanne. “I hated to leave Darlington, it was a

great job. But I just love Suzanne and I couldn’t let this opportunity pass me up,” said Schmalbach. The addition of Schmalbach allows Rockwell to focus on the kitchen where she “feels most at home.” Delivering to corporate accounts, orchestrating the hectic schedules, and staying in front of the customers is what Rockwell does best. Over the last year, Chef Suzanne has seen 38% growth in an industry that has otherwise suffered from the dormant economy. Starting out as a personal chef, Rockwell has seen explosive growth in the corporate and event
With her recent success and focus, Rockwell is now toying with the idea of opening a lunch cafe in Lawrence. To test the idea and viability, Chef Suzanne will host “Firecracker Fridays” every Friday starting July 30 as a fundraiser for the Lawrence Parks Department’s 4th of July Festival. Lunch will be served just north of the Sterrett Center, giving area workers a chance to sample her latest menu and meet the Chef Suzanne staff. If it goes well, they’ll move it inside during the winter months. As for the future of Chef Suzanne, Rockwell wants to continue to grow and expand. “We want to grow the business but maintain that personal touch. To me, this is more about working with and for friends.” To contact Chef Suzanne Rockwell, visit www.ChefSuzanne.com or call 317-823-5908.
The historic Sterrett Center in Lawrence serves as home base for Chef Suzanne, utilizing the kitchen and an adjoining office. 4

Lawrence Chamber Update If you have ever thought “I’d like to be a mentor, but I am not sure how or where to go,” or as a Business Owner, “maybe my employees would like to become an organizational mentor,” attend the August 21 event. You will hear from different speakers and organizations about what it takes to be a mentor, and what options are out there. In Lawrence Township, our need is great, from a very young child needing someone to read to him, to a high school student that needs a role model, a little help with a certain subject or a just a friend. Sandi Ballard, Executive Director of the Greater Lawrence Chamber of Commerce
Dr. Concetta Raimondi was the speaker at our last breakfast meeting. I always get SO excited when I hear her speak. As a parent of a child in the Lawrence Township system, it can get frustrating; however, I have seen a lot of great things happen since she’s been here, and the general consensus is that we are still one of the premiere schools in Indiana. We are excited to be working with McCoy Youth Organization, Password Mentoring and others as part of a Mentoring Summit, held August 21 at Crispus Attucks High School. With the budget cuts ALL schools (and us personally) have had to face, mentoring is something almost anyone can do with little to no investment, yet a lifetime of reward!
Here’s what’s coming up: Thursday, August 3 – Rise and Shine Breakfast Meeting
Sterrett Center, 8950 Otis Ave Speaker: Wallis, ICVA Sponsor: Old National Bank 7:30 – 8:30 a.m., $10 GLCC Members, $15 Non-Members Great networking time as well as an update about our schools Meet your next customer! Tuesday, August 17 – Business After Hours

Thursday, September 9
We will also have a Mentoring Panel Discussion at our November 4th breakfast meeting. We are very excited to be part of this, and having great schools is one way to not only keep and attract new businesses, but also keep and attract new residents! We hope you can attend and learn how just a few hours of your time can mean a lifetime of results to a child. For more information on the Mentoring Summit, contact us at the GLCC office (541-9876).

Women Beware: Air Guitarist Ahead Imagine this romantic scene: a husband and wife are taking a leisurely road trip through northern Indiana with the sun shining through the windows. By Michelle Momper The radio is playing nostalgic tunes that take them back to their youth. We’re talkin’ Boston, Styx and throw in a little Rolling Stones. The wife turns to the husband, about to say something like, “Oh, honey. This is so nice to be with you and reminisce like this,” but she stops short. Because right in front of her, the man that she loves with all her heart, the same man who has mastered negotiation skills at work and gives back to the community, suddenly bites his lower lip and …
Wouldn’t that be a buzz-kill? Yet there you all are, in any given night club or musical gathering, dancing your fingers against your mid-section and biting your lower lip.
starts playing the air guitar. Stop the music! The wife’s adoring grin turns to disgust and dismay. Her husband has just transformed into a rhythm-challenged geek, and the moment is gone. Why, oh why, middle-aged men out there, do you do this? Is there something deep within your brain that somehow mutates your body into a wanna– be rock star the very minute a guitar rift is performed? Do you feel that, perhaps if you just act like you can play the guitar, groupies will fall at your feet and throw down their undergarments? And why must you thrust your hips and squint your eyes, adopting the stance and movements of a true professional even though you don’t know the first thing about the key of C? Other than in a toddler’s play group, I’ve never once felt the need to pretend like I can play an instrument. Imagine the embarrassment my companions would feel if I would, say, stand up in the middle of a jazz performance and pretend to play the saxophone.
None of my girlfriends have ever taken a moment at a live concert to imaginatively finesse an invisible keyboard while thinking, “Wow, I look so very cool doing this right now!” We just sing along to the lyrics and move to the beat. Dancing? Great! Stroking an air guitar or beating a set of drums that just isn’t there? Not so much. My husband tells me I have to chalk it up as a “guy thing.” That, along with the usual bodily functions that seem so funny to the male species, is something that eludes me. But I suppose, from a male perspective, the same thing could be said for pedicures and shopping. My best advice is this: men, we love you and all your energy, but keep the air guitars to the privacy of your own homes. The women in your lives will thank you for it. Or consider taking up guitar lessons.

Olympian Returns Home to Open Training Facility years after, and now being on the other side as a coach, I realize how hard it was, and what it took to be a champion,” said Phelps, who was 16 at the time. “I look back and marvel that I was able to do that at such a young age.” Following stints teaching gymnastics in Dallas and Colorado Springs, Colo., Phelps, 30, has returned home to pursue a business dream shared by her father, Jack, 57, and boyfriend, David Mauris. The Jaycie Phelps Athletic Center – a state-of-the-art sports training facility located across from Mt. Comfort Airport (3802 N. 600 W.) – is scheduled to open August 7th. The 25,000 sq. ft. renovated building will feature gymnastics instruction as well as Jack’s passion, baseball and softball training.

By Neal Moore
When you ask Greenfield native Jaycie Phelps about her experiences competing at the 1996 Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta, the gold-medal-winning gymnast expresses a somewhat unexpected sentiment. “To me, it was just another meet,” explained Phelps. “You always went into a competition with the same mindset of not being distracted no matter what the situation. My feeling at the time was ‘this is just what I do.’” That’s not to say the enormity of the accomplishment was lost on the Hoosier Olympian whose team won a first-ever gold medal for U.S. Women’s Gymnastics. “A couple of
“It will primarily be a gym training facility with all new apparatus and in-ground pits,” shared Jack. “We’ll also have about 6,000 sq. ft. of indoor turf including four batting cages.” The multi-purpose facility will emphasize strength and agility training, regardless of the sport being played. Video technology will be available for performance analysis. Like most elite athletes, Jaycie’s skills developed at an early age. After a daycare center field trip to Indiana Gymnest in Greenfield, the four-year-old was smitten. “Jaycie wasn’t happy unless she was in the gym,” Jack remembered. “If we wanted to ‘punish’ her all we needed to do was threaten no gymnastics practice.” At age 11, Jaycie scored well at a national meet in Georgia, where several coaches said she had real potential. “Our attitude was, what if? So, we decided to check it out,” said Jack. Now, with Olympic gold medal in hand Jaycie is promising the same kind of personal attention to budding gymnasts, no matter the age or skill level. “One of our goals is to show any kid that has the dream and desire that it can be done,” said Jaycie. “And, we’ll be realistic about potential.” Father, daughter and boyfriend agree that what’s most important are the life lessons learned – time management, sportsmanship and teamwork. “Communication is the key,” said Mauris, who also teaches gymnastics. “People aren’t that familiar with the sport, and you can’t leave parents in the dark.” The trio anticipates Jaycie Phelps Athletic Center serving about 500 members thanks to its come one, come all philosophy.

Making Back to School Time a Breeze faxed or emailed to you. You can also take your child up to the school to pick it up and get them familiar with their new surroundings. After you’ve obtained your supply list figure out the clothes your child needs before deciding which he or she wants. Again, this will help keep you on budget. Pick a day that works for you and your child, head out and you’re ready to go.
Dre Tynes and Lindsay Sterrett are at a popular clothing and accessories store near Geist on E. 96th St., Plato’s Closet. By Mary Ryan
The summer is ending and your children are filled with just as many emotions as you are except they might differ greatly from yours. Your child could be sad their break is over, worried about starting a new class or wondering how they’ll fit in. They might be anxious to get back but nervous about a new teacher, leaving old friends or the increase in responsibility. You are probably stressed about where to buy clothes, all the supplies requests, cost for books and tuition, in addition to watching your child pine and ponder over their upcoming semester. I believe I’ve found some ways to make this experience a great one for
your family. Below, you’ll find some suggestions around town to help make going back to school fun for you and your child, and ways to create some quality ime with your child before heading back to the grind. Make a day of it. Instead of making school clothes and supply shopping a chore, make it an activity. The first thing you want to do is create a list of the things you need. Of course your child might see things they have to have or really want but a list will help you stay on track and on budget. The school or teacher will typically provide you a supply list prior to starting school. If they do not, call the school and request your child’s grade list be
Start the day off at Mama Bear’s for a nice breakfast to give you the energy to face the day and some time to wake up, especially if your child is used to sleeping in during the summer months. Mama Bear’s is conveniently located just off Brooks School Road and Fall Creek and their fresh pastries are sure to put a grin on your child’s face bright and early. Next, venture around Fall Creek and up East 96th Street. Second stop, Plato’s Closet; Plato’s specializes in gently or unused teen clothing. Not only do they have trendy designers and a selection that changes daily, they will buy your clothes as long as they show little wear and are in style. According to Kim Burtner, owner of Plato’s Closet, “We will go through your items while you shop. When we are finished we will make the customer a cash offer and they can accept the cash or trade it for items that they find at Plato’s. We sell accessories and guys clothing too!” Beginning at the end of July and running through August the store will get very busy very fast. Everyone is in a rush to load up on fall and winter
edicated to the extraordinary. The exceptional. The unique.

clothes. Parents, one more deal maker – they offer a rewards program. Kim explained, “When you buy or sell $300 with Plato’s Fishers, we will send you a coupon for 30% off your entire purchase.” Clean out the closets. If you have younger children, keep heading down 96th Street to your next stop, Wal-Mart. Let’s be honest, Wal-Mart always has some good deals, especially at back to school time. Grab a cart, take a deep breath, and head to the school supplies aisle. I would love to tell you it won’t be a mad house, but you know it always is this time of year. Let your child have some freedom while picking out colors of notebooks and folders and try to not grab the first thing you see. It’s important for your child to hold onto their individuality and this can be shown through their supplies. Whether it’s a Jonas Brothers notebook, or skull and crossbones folder set, these small items that cost pennies more could do wonders for your child’s confidence.
Don’t forget the Kleenex! After you’ve loaded up on supplies you’re ready to keep on shopping. Perhaps your child will be attending Cathedral, St. Simon, or other private school this year. Did you know right in the heart of Castleton there is a Campus Outfitters, specializing in school uniforms and accessories? They are nestled between Sam Ash Music and Subway just across from Burlington Coat Factory. Visit www.campusoutfitters.com for more information. If your child is not attending private school, from Wal-Mart you’ll want to hop onto I-69 and head north to Hamilton Town Center. Hamilton Town Center is filled with stores for children of all ages and at this time of year, the deals are out there! You can also check out www.simon.com and visit the Hamilton Town Center page. There, under “Sales and Offers at Hamilton Town Center” you’ll find special sales and coupons you can use to plan your trip. At Hamilton Town Center you’ll
not only find a Dick’s Sporting Goods for the athlete in the family, but there is a Maurice’s that has great deals on girls and women’s clothing for any size female, as well as The Children’s Place, Old Navy, and American Eagle just to name a few. Remember you aren’t always going to see eye to eye with your child on what clothes to buy. They might want to wear a plaid shirt with neon pants or stripes and checks… whatever their style is, embrace it. After all, they are who they are because you’ve supported and encouraged their creativity through the years. I used to go shopping with mom and then put on a fashion show for my dad as I thought I was going to be a “Glamour Girl” when I grew up, whatever that is. Take that, all of you firefighter and astronaut hopefuls. Boys might not be as keen on the fashion show but showing off some new cleats or jerseys is almost as fun.

Dr. Shannon Tighe with Geist Family Medicine reminds parents that sleep and a good breakfast help students perform better in the classroom.
who shared with me some great ways to provide a successful school year for your child. Dr. Tighe says, “Success at school starts at home and most kids thrive on structure and respond well to routines that help them organize their days.” She goes on to provide some easy ways you can help your child get into a solid routine at home. She explains, “Studies have shown that students who live in homes with healthy habits, regular routines and
good communication have higher test scores and more academic success. Because sleep is closely tied to the learning process, all parents should start by making sure their child has a bedtime that will provide them with an adequate amount of sleep. Elementary school aged children should be getting 10 to 11 hours of sleep a night, while adolescents need approximately 9.5 hours of sleep a night.” In addition to a full night of rest, Dr. Tighe mentioned,
“Research has shown that kids who get a healthy breakfast in the morning have higher standardized test scores and better behavior in the classroom. Parents should make sure their children have breakfast every morning. Avoiding sugary cereals and replacing them with healthy proteins and whole grains will ensure that their children will stay satisfied until lunch.” Lastly, parents should be aware that vaccine requirements at some schools have changed for children. Dr. Tighe encourages you to get your children into their pediatrician or family doctor to make sure their vaccines and physical checkups are up to date. Visit www.geistfamilymedicine.com for more information. Now you are equipped with some great ways to save money this school year and make the back to school experience a fun and healthy one. Hopefully the summer transition into the school year will be a seamless one for you and your family.

Riding Out the Summer has the highest job growth rate of any state in America. We live in Hamilton County, which has one of the lowest unemployment rates of any county in the country. But it sure feels like there is a storm out there somewhere, and we have to do more than hope it doesn’t hit our house or rock our long term planning.

There is a decent chance that the last few months have left people feeling in the dark about what our government is doing, and also confused about the direction of the global economy. We’re lucky. We live in Indiana, which
While I am sure you are doing everything you can to protect your career and keep your employment prospects alive, there are a lot of forces that might seem out of your control. Financial contingency plans, such as having enough saved to cover months of living, are one thing. It is a lot different when it comes to the real estate market or the value of your retirement plan. There is good news on a few fronts, and in some areas the news is simply less bad than it was. Real estate doesn’t look like it is going to go up anytime soon, but I don’t think we are going to see any more 15-20% annual drops,
either. Five to 10 years from now, the housing market should look a lot better, though. There is some good news from the bond market. Fixed income prices are up for the year, but as I wrote two months ago, I don’t think the bond market is a safe place to be going forward. This is an opportunity to lock in some gains. In the stock market, where people have most of their retirement savings, the second quarter of 2010 was pretty vicious on the downside. But evidence suggests the worst is over, at least for the intermediate term. The next three to four months should bring some up-trending prices, which will allow investors an opportunity to re-assess. Besides taking profits in the bond market and putting some of that money into stocks, there really isn’t a lot of action to take. Enjoy the rest of the summer, and we will get together in a month and see if a big opportunity presents itself.

Dawn of a New Doughnut Shop recipes to keep those doughnuts as popular as ever, but the doughnut shop decor is up to him. There are comfortable tables and chairs inside with flat screen TV’s, free WiFi and an outdoor patio for good weather days. “Doughnut shops are typically for the customer on the go,” says Morse. “But here, you can come with your laptop and stay a while.”
Bradd Morse has opened the first doughnut shop at Geist, Daylight Donuts. By Pat Carlini
many years in the corporate world.
Finally, a doughnut shop in Geist! Okay, it had to be said… because that is exactly what Bradd Morse has been hearing since he opened Daylight Donuts at 116th and Olio Road.
While researching Daylight Donuts, he learned there were 900 locations across the country, but only one in central Indiana — in Greenwood. “So a Daylight Donuts shop in Geist seemed to be the perfect fit!” says Morse.
Daylight Donuts is in the small string of shops in front of Kroger tucked in between a dentist’s office and a tanning salon. It was a big hit with students of HSE when it opened just before school let out earlier this year, and has been going strong ever since. Maybe Geist really did need a doughnut shop! Formerly from Colorado, Morse got the urge to run his own business after
“Daylight Donuts are made with a potato flour that is said to be the key to a doughnut with a fluffy, light texture and a great taste. They also want to keep up with the coffee craze by offering a variety of coffees, lattes and cappuccinos, as well as juice drinks and sodas.
There’s a good selection of doughnuts to choose from, too. In addition to cake, glazed and French cruller doughnuts (79¢), they offer “Fancies” such as bismarks, long johns, twists and jelly toppers (89¢). More tasty temptations include apple fritters, pine cones, bear claws, and cinnamon rolls ($1.09), and specialty items such as sticky buns, apple cobbler and sausage rolls ($1.79). Bradd enjoys changing the colors on the sprinkled doughnuts to match school colors as he gets more involved in community and school events. “The kids really like it!” says Morse. So, if you have not checked out Daylight Donuts, it may be time to stop in and get some bear claws and coffee for the family. There now is a doughnut shop in Geist, and as their “to go” box says… it is something to crow about! Have a new local business? Email Tom@atGeist.com and let us know!

is never a dull moment and the ever evolving strategies that you have to develop really help to keep you on your toes. According to Cat, “fencing is truly a high speed chess game.” There is way more than meets the eye and it is definitely nothing like the pirates and ninja movies that you see in theaters or on television. Fencing is a dynamic sport. Especially Sabre fencing in which you “cut” or as I like to refer to it, whack, your opponent in the correct target area. For every single touch on target, which is everything above the waist excluding the hands, you get one point. And you typically fence until five, ten or fifteen touches per bout or fencing session.
to take flight and branch out into the world of wheelchair fencing. Cat was born with a leg condition that qualifies her for both types of fencing. It was a very difficult decision for her and her family to make the switch, but she has excelled. What sets Cat apart though is her duality. Cat has become an international wheelchair fencer right here in the heart of the Midwest.
This past month, Cat has definitely gone above and beyond. She took home the gold in not one but all three of the fencing weapons, including Sabre, Foil and Epee. Her motto is to aim for the stars and land somewhere in between. She hopes to place in the top eight in all three weapons this fall at the World Championship. Cat has entered a world wide community of wheelchair fencers, one that is very intimate. She hopes to meet even more people and build stronger bonds with those she already knows from 2009’s Fencing World Championship.
When it comes to the question of why she chose fencing over other sports, it’s the way that you have to think on your feet that really appealed to her. There
Of course she cannot achieve any of this without the wonderful support from her parents, Alan and Janet Bouwkamp. As a freshman at Fish-

English Channels the half-eaten evidence on Dad’s plate, she’d scold him in front of the entire family. In retaliation, Arnie would then use the same knife to split an Oreo cookie into two cream-covered halves, a clear violation of the twist and detach rule, still operative today. I still don’t know the difference between a nook and a cranny. However, I always figured that the 75-year-old recipe for this highly touted topography was a carefully guarded corporate secret, not unlike the undisclosed ingredients of Coca Cola. Or what part of the chicken a McNugget really is.
By Dick Wolfsie
When I was kid, there were a lot of rules in our house. My father had a workshop in the basement, so his list of no no’s was a great deal longer than Mom’s: paint thinner is not a beverage; a band saw is not a musical instrument; a blow torch is not a hair dryer. Mom did have one rule that she was adamant about. You were never to slice a Thomas’ English Muffin with a knife. Instead, the product was to be carefully pried apart with a fork, so that both halves revealed their celebrated nooks and crannies. Then a careful toasting produced the legendary ideal crunch. As any muffin maven knows, the jagged terrain provides a nesting place for butter, cream cheese or jam. My father did not share the view that a sliced muffin is a muffin maligned. He routinely hacked away at Thomas with a kitchen knife and when Joan found
And now it has been revealed that only seven people in the world know the formula for the nooks and crannies, and one of them is leaving the company, headed for Thomas’ fierce competitor Hostess, maker of Wonder Bread and Twinkies. Now the plot thickens, or rises—pick your bakery metaphor. Turns out that Thomas’ English Muffins is currently owned by a Mexican food company, Bimbo Bakeries, which sounds like a south-of-the-border Hooters. In reality, Bimbo is one of the largest food conglomerates in the world. I think they make almost everything except frozen tacos and burritos, which they farm out to the Chinese. Bimbo and Hostess are now in a legal battle over Thomas’ recipe for nooks and crannies. Make no mistake: this has shmear campaign written all over it. In the true
“I finally have my life back thanks to Dr. Rempel. It’s a miracle!” – Vicki, a Geist resident
spirit of English muffins, both sides will be equally represented. The jury may have a tough time. Expect a split decision. It’s bad enough the Limeys are being blamed for the Gulf oil spill, but now the public will incorrectly assume this English muffin scandal is also about the Brits. If the judge lays down a nook and cranny cease and desist order, we’ll have both a petroleum spill and a potential jelly leak. Petroleum and Jelly. This is a headline writer’s dream. The history of the craggy surface was anything but smooth scaling. Several notable bumps along the way perplexed the inventor, Samuel Bath Thomas, who in 1874 made the discovery after a failed attempt to find a cure for acne. Some of his early versions were disasters including the Moon Muffin, which was all nooks and no crannies. Another early snafu was calling it Tom’s English Muffins, because no one knew where to put the apostrophe. Thomas’? Thomases’? Thomas’s? The Bimbo people are always searching for ways to increase visibility. I hope they don’t try to sell their products to fairgoers this summer. I love Indiana State Fair food as much as the next guy, but a deep-fried English muffin doesn’t sound quite Hoosier enough for me.

Opening a New Business?
By Steve Greisemer
So you’ve decided to open a small business. You’ve got an idea for a product or service, a little money in the bank, and marked that unused spare bedroom off limits to the kids. Now what do you do? Well, that depends. Each business is different, but there are a few steps that almost every aspiring entrepreneur should consider: License, Insurance and Registration, Please!
There are many types of professional businesses that require a license from the State of Indiana or other regulatory body before doing business. For example, a partial list of businesses requiring state licenses can be found via the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency website at www.in.gov/pla. Securing a license may require an on-site inspection, proof of professional and financial qualifications, the provision of a bond or proof of insurance coverage, and/or other items. There are also local zoning restrictions that may impede your plans to operate or advertise. It’s best to know these requirements ahead of time, as they may dictate how or where you conduct your business, the best corporate form, your budget and timetable for operations. The last thing you want is to lease a space and invest in your business only to discover that you lack a license to open. When you organize your business as a corporation or limited liability company (LLC), you create a separate
geist c o m m u n i t y
newslet ter
legal “person” in the eyes of the law. That new legal “person” conducts the affairs of the corporation, is solely responsible for the debts it incurs and is the sole beneficiary of the credit it is owed. As a result, you and your personal assets are generally protected from liability for corporate actions. In addition, there are a number of tax benefits associated with incorporation, including lower tax rates, eligibility for additional tax deductions, and lower risk of audit than a sole proprietorship. These advantages should be balanced against additional administrative requirements. For example, organization of a c-corporation requires the filing of a separate annual tax return, whereas s-corporations and LLCs generally allow flow-through taxation similar to partnerships and sole proprietorships. The Indiana Secretary of State’s Office is a good resource for finding out more about corporations and LLCs, including a searchable database of company names already in use. Intellectual Property
We’ve all heard the stories of how the now-famous “swoosh” logo was acquired by Nike for $35, or the young engineer who sold the rights to his billion-dollar invention for $800. Those stories illustrate the potential value of intellectual property such as copyrights, patents, trademarks and trade secrets. If your business utilizes, creates or exploits an invention, software, technology, art, or other unique business method then you may want to take certain measures to secure and protect those rights. Those measures may include a written employment or licensing agreement, registration of copyrights, trademarks or patents, and/or the establishment of procedures for the confidential treatment of trade secrets. Some tasks, like registering copyrighted materials, can be accomplished via the Internet relatively quickly and easily. Trademark and patent applications involve significantly more scrutiny and generally require the assistance of a professional. 32
Vendor/Supplier Contracts
Whether it’s a landlord, a website developer or a vendor of supplies, you’re likely to be faced with a range of contracts in connection with getting your company up and running. Read them carefully, and beware of long-term commitments, automatic renewals, and broad disclaimers. Make vendors justify onerous provisions no matter how “standard” or “boilerplate” they claim to be. Ask yourself (1) does this make sense, (2) is it fair, and (3) what changes can I suggest that will help me in the worst case scenario? Perhaps you want the right to sublet an office if things don’t work out, or a discount on pricing for bulk or long-term orders, or ownership of all work product. It doesn’t hurt to ask, and in this economy it might be reasonable to insist. Eye on the Ball
People tend to use attorneys too much or too little in the beginning. They either overlook laws that apply to their business plan (see #1-4 above), or want a library’s-worth of documents and opinion letters to cover every possible contingency. So here’s my advice: Keep it simple. Ask your attorney what the minimum requirements are to get up and running, and keep him/ her apprised of your progress as your business grows. Perhaps a provisional patent will suffice for the first twelve months while you explore the market. Drafting a customer contract might wait until you actually have a customer, and that employee handbook can wait until you start hiring. Focus instead on the needs of your customer, and that brilliant idea you had to start with. The foregoing legal information should not be construed as legal advice — the application of law to an individual’s specific circumstances. Please consult a lawyer if you want professional assurance that this information, and your interpretation of it, is appropriate to your particular situation.

Supporting Local Farmers Through CSAs pating directly in food production. CSAs operate on different arrangements: Some farms offer a single product, while others offer a diversity of seasonal produce. Some team up with other farms and offer a full spectrum of food such as eggs, meat, preserves, milk, baked goods and more. Michael Richert, 40, a Geist Farmers Market Certified Organic Farmer, was introduced to that concept a few years ago by his Chicago friend, Daniel Phillips. Now partners, they are currently in their second year of CSA practice. Their first year brought them seven members; this year they have grown to twenty. The membership fee is $500 a year, and entitles members to one basket of fresh produce from the Richert/Phillips Farm for twenty weeks during the growing season. Daniel Richert of the Richert/Phillips Farm supports other local farmers by participating in a CSA. Individuals and families advance money to local farmers to cover their costs and receive shares of produce from their farm in return. By Genie Goykhberg
“Community-supported agriculture (CSA) is a socio-economic model of agriculture and food distribution,” according to Wikipedia. The CSA concept was not born yesterday. Although farming becomes more distanced from the life of the average American, people who take charge of their own health want to know where their food comes from and how much they can trust their health to a stranger-farmer. Our existence is in direct proportion to this country’s farming well being. Cute stickers on some farmers’ vehicles “No Farms – No Food” try to deliver this important message to urban people. Noticeably more people are ready to recognize the need of sharing agricultural responsibilities with farmers. The idea of so-called “Alternative
geist c o m m u n i t y

Farming” came to the U.S. from Europe in the mid-1980s. It all got started back in 1960s in Switzerland and Japan. Consumers had a deep interest in safe food, and farmers were interested in a stable market for their produce with a partnership of sharing risk as well. CSA in its basic terms is a community of people who pledge support to a farm operation. Growers and consumers of produce share the benefits of food production as well as the risks of farming. Individuals (or families) participate monetarily in advance to cover the anticipated costs of a farm operation and/or a farmer’s salary. In return, during growing seasons they receive shares of produce from the farm. Members of CSA also express the satisfaction they gain by supporting local farmers, having an opportunity to reconnect to the land, and partici36
Michael and Daniel encourage potential members of the Richert/ Phillips Farm CSA to ask lots of questions. “It’s important to have realistic expectations,” Michael explained. “If customers are not used to eating fresh produce daily, they might end up with wasted food. At the same time, those who are used to eating seasonally should not expect all of their produce to come from CSA.” Michael said that he always discusses in detail what the weekly basket might contain and makes sure their CSA members understand the policy completely. Although members are not yet involved in the process of growing and picking produce, it might be considered as a future option if enough people express interest. For more information on CSAs, stop by the Richert/Phillips Farm booth at the Geist Farmers Market, located at Holy Cross Lutheran Church, 8115 Oaklandon Road, Indianapolis (open every Thursday from 2:30-6:30 p.m.). j u ly 2010

Recipe: Roasted Sweet Potato Coins potatoes deserve recognition all year long — not just around the holidays! Ingredients
• 4 large sweet potatoes • ½ cup olive oil • 1 tsp. salt • ½ to 1 tsp. crushed red pepper, depending on your tastes • ½ tsp. dried basil • ½ tsp. onion powder • ¼ tsp. oregano
Roasted Sweet Potato Coins are an exceptionally tasty and nutritional side dish to any meal. By Janet Striebel
Sweet potatoes represent an excellent choice for a side dish to any of your favorite entrees. These naturally sweet tasting vegetables are high in beta-carotene, vitamin C, potassium, antioxidants and fiber. According to nutritionists at the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), the sweet potato ranks number one in nutrition among all vegetables. The sweet potato outscored the second place vegetable by 101 points. Yes that’s right, a baked potato ranks
second with a score of 83, followed by spinach with a score of 76. (These points are derived according to content of dietary fiber, naturally occurring sugars and complex carbohydrates, protein, vitamins A and C, iron, and calcium.) Besides being helpful for stomach ulcers and inflamed conditions of the colon, sweet potatoes are also beneficial for diabetics, as they help stabilize blood sugar levels. Sweet potatoes digest slowly, causing a gradual rise in blood sugar so you feel fuller for a longer period of time. Certainly, sweet

Clean Water Tips for Geist Residents Although the Geist Lake Coalition (GLC) is the official local organization that is committed to providing safe, responsible recreational use of the lake, individual Geist residents can also help keep the lake clean by following these easy (and free) tips: • Don’t over-fertilize your lawn. Residential fertilizer use is a primary contributing factor to overloading nutrients in the reservoir.
Geist’s own Indy SurviveOar team recently competed at the 2010 International Dragon Boat Festival in Peterborough, Ontario. The festival occurs every four years and brings together over 2,000 breast cancer survivors from all over the world to compete in a weekend of not just dragon boating, but awareness of the highflyer6.10:Highflyer ad For6/11/10 AM visit Page 1 broad reaching impact of breast cancer. the full story8:24 and photos, atGeist.com.
• Ask for phosphorus-free fertilizer. When your lawn requires treating, request a formula that doesn’t have phosphorus – a nutrient your lawn and the reservoir don’t need. If you apply fertilizer yourself, don’t apply before anticipated rain. • Take care with lawn waste. Grass clippings and fallen leaves increase the nutrient load of the water. Dispose of such waste properly. Do not blow grass clippings or leaves into the street, since they clog up the storm drains that eventually flow into the lake. • Use phosphorus-free detergent. Geist-friendly products are available in most stores. If you would like to find out more about how you can help keep local waters clean, or you would like to get involved in the GLC, visit www.geistwatershed.com.
