BUSINESS ALLIANCE 6th EDIT IO WINTER DIRECTORY Binford Redevelopment and Growth N 2015/16 Many Thanks! to Community Health Network for 10 Years of Support of BRAG and The Market at Hague Looking Forward to the Next 10 Years In 2015, Binford Redevelopment and Growth (BRAG) celebrated a decade of being a cornerstone in the northeast corner of Indianapolis. From day one, the goal of BRAG was to improve the quality of life for businesses and residents in this area. Mobilizing local businesses, residents, government officials, police officers, schools, churches, and volunteers, BRAG has been a catalyst for improvements and change in this area. Some of our big wins over the past decade include: • Attracting businesses and promoting economic development – particularly at the 71st/Binford intersection; • Streamlining a residential and business crime watch system to notify citizens of relevant crime in the area and encourage safe crime prevention practices; • Establishing a farmer’s market for the BRAG community that promotes healthy eating, a sense of community, and shopping local; • Working with committees and government officials to construct trails and sidewalks in the area – most recently, the beautiful 71st Street Trail; • Maintaining the physical appearance of the area through planting and maintaining trees and flowers and coordinating trash pick-up days. While this list barely scratches the surface of all that BRAG has accomplished throughout the last ten years, one thing is clear: BRAG could not exist without the ideas, support, and commitment from local businesses and residents like you. If this is your first time reading the directory, I encourage you to keep reading so you can learn more about our organization and the local businesses in this area. Money spent at a local business generates 3.5 times more wealth for the local economy compared to money spent at chain or big box retailers – so please buy local when you can. Looking to the future of the organization, we want your input on what we can do to continue to make this area a great place to live and work. We have a very exciting 2016 calendar and encourage you to learn more about how you can get involved. You can check out our website at www.binford71.org or email me directly at [email protected] with any questions, comments or suggestions. On behalf of the BRAG Board of Directors, thank you for your support of our organization, and we look forward to working with you in 2016! Kim Mathews BRAG Board President 3 Hello Neighbors! Do you enjoy the convenience of grocery shopping and running errands near your home? In 2005, a group of concerned citizens and neighborhood leaders came together to address economic and quality of life issues facing the residents living near Binford Boulevard. That effort to “Fight the Blight!” resulted in the formation of Binford Redevelopment and Growth, Inc. (BRAG.) Ten years later BRAG is a strong and vibrant grassroots neighborhood organization with community support from Dean Road over to Sargent Road, 56th Street to 82nd Street. The seven major initiatives tailored to our community came about as a result of community-wide visioning meetings and creative input and hard work from neighbors. These initiatives are fundamental to maintaining a great neighborhood and a thriving business environment. 1. Business Development and Retention / Networking – new businesses have come to our area creating hundreds of jobs. This generated an abundance of convenient shopping near 71st Street and Binford and now along Shadeland Avenue. 2. Crime Watch and Prevention – a business and residential crime watch network exists to keep you informed and aware. In 2011, the Marion County Prosecutors Office awarded BRAG as Crime Fighter of the Year. 3. Trails and Connectivity - The long term goal of the Trails and Connectivity committee is to build sidewalks and multi-use trails throughout the BRAG community. Construction on the trail on 71st from Lakeknoll to Hague will be done this fall. Look for construciton to begin on a trail on Hague Road from Fall Creek to 82nd Street. 4. Schools - Within the BRAG area are Lawrence Township Schools and Washington Township Schools and a number of private schools. The area has solid, stable school systems that serve students of all academic abilities. This helps maintain your property value! 5. Beautification: Parks and Greenspaces – BRAG works to enhance the physical appearance of Binford Boulevard and Skiles Test Nature Park. Volunteers planted and continue to maintain hundreds of trees and thousands of flowers & shrubs and planting beds throughout the service area. 6. The The Market at Hague – The Binford Farmers Market is now The Market at Hague. The market is run by BRAG and offers fresh Indiana produced food and artisan products every Saturday, May-October, 8am to 12 noon at 7800 N. Hague Rd., in the Lawrence North High School north parking lot. marketathague.com for details.

We cannot thank each and every one of you enough who donated to this new addition. The new 20x12 foot barn provides storage space for all of the market equipment such as tents, tables, wagons, traffic barrels, tabletop items, direction signs, and more. The new barn is located at the back end of the market on the north side of the parking lot. Be sure to stop by and check it out during the 2016 season. As you visit the barn, you may notice there is something missing. A sign! For the 2016 season, we need your help to dress up the barn with a sign that exemplifies everything the Market at Hague stands for; local farmers, sustainable food and YOU, our community! A Market at Hague barn sign will help us solidify the market brand and put the finishing touches on this new addition. Please consider making a donation to our barn sign fund and help us reach this goal for 2016! Mail checks to: BRAG 5868 E. 71st Street E-104 Indianapolis, IN 46220-4078 Mark your check Barn Sign Fund. Very soon we will have a drawing of the cool sign. Watch the market facebook page and the market newsletter for a sample of the sign. 7 Enhanced Crime Watch Efforts IMPD has reached out to neighborhood organizations asking that we encourage all residents and area businesses to step up crime watch efforts. IMPD is concerned that citizens are not reporting suspicious activity and neighborhood and business crimes. When to dial 911? • 911 is the number to dial to report criminal activity in progress, fire, medical emergencies, shots fired, any life threatening incident, and suspicious activity. • Stay calm. Give your name, location and nature of the emergency. • Answer the 911 Dispatcher’s questions as accurately as possible. • Never hang up on the 911 Dispatcher until you are told to do so. • Do not dial 911 for non-emergency situations. • For non-emergency situations, such as noisy neighbors or a stolen bicycle use the Non-Emergency number: 327-3811 How 911 Works? Example: What to do if you are looking out of your window and notice a person breaking into your neighbor's home…. • You should immediately go to the phone and dial 911. • Even while you are talking, an officer is already on the way. Try to remain calm and answer all of the dispatcher's questions to the best of your ability - we understand you may be excited. • DO NOT HANG UP! For the safety of the officer who is on the way and all people involved, it is very important that the dispatcher on the phone gets all the necessary information about the emergency and the suspects. Information most needed: • Is anyone injured? • What happened? • Suspect description • When did it happen? • Vehicle description/License Plate • Where it happened Number (address/intersection/landmark) • Telephone number of the person • Direction of travel of suspect calling • Did you see any weapons? • Who is involved? Never tell a 911 operator that a situation is more serious than it really is just to get faster service. It is against the law to intentionally give false information to the police. 911 Emergency Examples: • Robbery, burglary or larceny in progress (i.e.: Someone breaking into your home or vehicle or one of your neighbors' homes or vehicles now) • Shootings • Fires or Medical emergency • Traffic injury - crashes • Person asking for help • Domestic Violence / Abuse • Fights or displays of weapons • Criminal activity • Any suspicious activity happening at the time of your call. 8 Non-Emergency Examples: A non-emergency call is simply a request for police service that is not a life or death situation, and it is not “in progress”. The non-emergency line is (317) 327-3811. An officer can handle some of these calls over the phone such as: • Vandalism (not in progress) • Stolen property (not in progress) • Criminal or Suspicious Activity • Loud Party (not in progress) BRAG RESIDENTIAL AND BUSINESS CRIME WATCH Engaged Citizens Share Information Safe neighborhoods require people communicating with each other. Reports of criminal activity must go beyond a 911 call to the police. You must let your residential and business neighbors know a crime has occurred. You should report the crime through the BRAG Crime Watch Network so we can broadcast the crime or suspicious activity to your neighbors and area businesses. Through email communication it is possible to put all of the surrounding neighborhoods and businesses on HIGH ALERT when a criminal incident or suspicious activity occurs in any neighborhood or business area. Your neighbors may be able to provide additional information. Your neighbors can be on alert for similar activity or take measures to reduce the opportunities for criminal activity. If your neighborhood does not have a Crime Watch effort….start one! You can contact the BRAG crime watch coordinators to find out how to start your neighborhood or business crime watch organization. We can help you get started!

For information about joining the BRAG Residential Crime Watch Network and obtaining the crime watch alerts visit the BRAG website, binford71.org or send an email to [email protected]. Be the eyes and ears of your community! If you SEE something, SAY something. Police Satellite Station Watch for the opening of the new Police Satellite Station at 71st and Shadeland, inside the Castleton United Methodist Church facility. The satellite station is used by North District officers to file reports, as a gathering point for officers, and occasional North District Roll Call. The station offers a law enforcement presence in the area as well as provides a service to the officers. The office contains a small refrigerator and cabinet stocked with beverages and snacks for the officers. The office was created and managed by volunteers and is always in need of refreshments, soft drinks, bottled water, candy, chips and snack donations for the police officers who stop by. BRAG makes regular grocery runs to stock the station and eagerly accepts monetary donations to fund the effort. Please send your check marked “Satellite Station” to BRAG, 5868 E. 71st Street E-104, Indianapolis, IN 46220-4078. Monetary donations are tax deductible. 9 Dr. Tom Nottingham Dr. James Rasp • Dr. Tracy Bailey 6612 E. 75th St., Suite 110 www.circlecitychiro.com 317.288.5480 Scott Maskel [email protected] 317.818.7437 HERB JENSEN 6280 N.

Each year, all the public and private schools of Washington Township and Lawrence Township are recognized for academic excellence and for fostering top level opportunities for students to grow, share and achieve. We routinely share many of those accomplishments in our BRAG email bulletins and on our website. In this edition of the BRAG Directory, we focus on yet another example of the unique advantages offered by our schools. Washington Township Middle Schools Empower Students To Rise Above On Challenge Day Early in January 2016, Eastwood Middle School – along with two other Washington Township middle schools – hosted a widely-lauded Challenge Day event. Challenge Day programs are highly focused and designed to build empathy and a sense of shared community among students as they enter an age in which they all too often face bullying, teasing and stereotyping. The organization around Challenge Days is national in scope, but Washington Township has recognized its value and signed on as part of its effort to foster a healthy, proud, and strong student body that is open to change and to challenging the status quo. Husband and wife team Yvonne and Rich Dutra-St. John co-founded the Challenge Day organization in 1987. Sharing memories of the difficulties they faced as children, the founders set their sights on the lofty goal of creating a world where every child feels safe, loved and celebrated despite emotional turmoil at home or at school. They recognized the steep challenges in achieving this goal and, not surprisingly, the act of facing that challenge is one of the fundamental teachings of their programs. Indeed, the hashtag ‘Be the Change’ is commonly connected to the founders’ efforts to spread their message. The Challenge Day program thus seeks to instill within students a belief in themselves as well as a belief in their power to effect change. The organization set out to fulfill that core mission by fostering hands-on programs that celebrate diversity, truth and expression and that reveal the power of empathy and shared connections. While it offers both workplace programs and transformational workshops for adults and older teens, Challenge Day is best known for its school programs. Through those programs, Challenge Day has reached over a million students and has been featured nationally on The Oprah Winfrey Show, MTV, the Emmy Awardwinning documentary, Teen Files: Surviving High School and in the book Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul. Challenge Day’s signature effort is a 6½ hour experiential program for approximately 100 students and 25 adults. With the assistance of a Challenge Day facilitator, the students find common ground with their peers and teachers, develop respect for others, learn they are not alone in their 16 Workshop leader Pam Dunn speaks to youth at Challenge Day. Photo Credit: Zach Cordner feelings and worries, and find compassion and connection in a safe environment. Even better, the students get to have fun with the event. The facilitators guide the participants through a carefully-designed series of games, activities, and trust-building exercises that break down the walls of separation and create new levels of empathy and respect. Words can never do justice to the in-person experience, but a deeper glimpse can be gained from video on the organization’s website (e.g., www.challengeday.org/howchallenge-day-works.php and www.challengeday.org/videos.php) and on the organization’s youtube channel (www.youtube.com/user/ChallengeDay). As recognized by Challenge Day, bullying, violence, emotional trauma and alienation are a part of a typical school day for millions of young people. These troubles tend to reduce learning, increase behavioral problems, and can result in physical and emotional harm. The Challenge Day school program seeks to reduce those risk factors by calling out the causes of teasing, bullying, and stereotyping, teaching tools for peaceful conflict resolution and for healthy expression of emotions, and building a sense of empathy, community, and positive change. Those results have yielded benefits. Students completing the program have described it as the ‘best day of their lives’. Based on the organization’s 201314 survey, 97% of adults and 94% of students would recommend the program to friends and family. 90% reported a greater recognition of the effects of bullying, a deeper understanding of others’ experiences, and a stronger awareness of how their actions affect others. 80% reported a stronger connection with peers and adults, more self-acceptance, a greater likelihood to help others, and an improved sense of hope for the future. Washington Township schools have clearly recognized the value of Challenge Day programs. All three township middle schools have hosted the program for several years running. The programs have the support of the community as well. This year’s program at Eastwood was sponsored by The Cronk Family, Krieg DeVault, Mike Matt, Ed Negron, the Advancement Center for Washington Township Schools and North Central Alumni, and Indy Sports and Entertainment. Our BRAG schools continue to excel not only by their academic success rates, but by their attention to the students’ well-being, by their thoughtfulness for the future and the comprehensive needs of the students, 17 BRAG is Proud of Its Schools and by their ability to translate all those aims into a system that produces a successful and prepared student body. Eastwood Middle School and the Washington Township school system are shining stars in our neighborhood and worth bragging about. Please continue to follow the school district’s efforts via its website, on twitter and on Facebook. LAWRENCE TOWNSHIP SCHOOLS Check out the new Lawrence Township Schools website at /www.ltschools.org/. The website can provide you everything you need to know what MSDLT offers to area residents. One of the best things you can do is to familiarize yourself with the schools is to take a tour of your neighborhood school….and then tell your neighbors about all that the school offers students and families. Area realtors can find information about Lawrence Township schools at a new website page, www.ltschools.org/about/realtor-resources. Let us know what kind of information potential BRAG area homeowners are looking for and we can put them in touch with area parents of students in Lawrence Township and Washington Township schools. 18 Tribute to Bill Mays When many think of Indianapolis business excellence, William “Bill” Mays is typically at the top of the list. The Evansville, Indiana, native established Mays Chemical Company in 1980 and due to his steadfastness and strong values, the company became one of the world’s largest chemical distributors and a source for chemicals, related raw materials and chemical management expertise. Mays took his ambitions to higher heights. His other entrepreneurial endeavors included television stations, golf courses and, notably, recovering and investing in the Indianapolis Recorder Newspaper. Mr. Mays passed away Dec. 4, 2014, on his 69th birthday. He is survived by his wife, Dr. Rose Mays, and daughters, Heather Mays-Wood and Kristin Mays-Corbitt. Prior to his death, Mays passed the Mays Chemical Company torch to his daughter MaysCorbitt, who had been a longtime employee. This past year under her leadership, Mays Chemical Company has been going strong. “From the top to the bottom, we have a legacy in the business world and the community. Everyone has continued to operate with Bill Mays’ principles in mind,” said Mays-Corbitt. “If you knew him, you knew those values. They were very much community-oriented, and through our work, we live those values out each day.” Mays-Corbitt is able to sustain the familyowned business with the help of her experienced leadership team. Her staff consists of vested employees Eric Gillispie, Jeanette Jones and Matthew Murphy. Fresh talent has also been added to the ranks: Thomas Douglass and George Hughes. “Everyone on the management team has a certain drive. They’re all very much committed to Bill Mays and his philosophies, even the people who didn’t get a chance to interact with him or meet him,” said Mays-Corbitt. “Everyone wants to work for a winning company. They are committed to making sure Mays Chemical is a place that is constantly growing and thriving.” Mays-Corbitt’s business savvy has contributed to the continued success of the company. The family atmosphere, teamwork and fellowship also make Mays Chemical Company a stellar enterprise. “We work hard together, we play hard together and we fundraise together,” said Mays-Corbitt. “We’re going to continue on our growth trajectory and create jobs in the community. We are also going to stay committed to giving back to the community.” Many thanks to the Indianapolis Recorder for this article. 19 Schools Also in the BRAG area are a number of private parochial and private nondenominational nursery, elementary and high schools.

Accessibility: Trails, Sidewalks and Connectivity When BRAG was formed over ten years ago, the primary focus was to revitalize the retail corners at 71st and Binford. This effort resulted in vibrant retail destinations featuring a variety of shopping, dining and service options. As the organization continued to grow in its membership and scope of influence, the city began to take notice. The Department of Metropolitan Development conducted The Binford Village Study to determine a long term development plan for the area. The Greater Indianapolis Neighborhood Initiative (GINI) awarded BRAG a grant to further study our needs and help with our development into a viable, thriving neighborhood organization. A common result of both of these studies was that while BRAG has a blend of retail, schools, places of worship, restaurants and other destinations within a 10 minute walk of many homes, these were only safely accessible by driving due to the lack of safe walkways. As a result, a committee was formed within BRAG to address this deficiency. And although the names of the committee have changed over the years (the Pedestrian Access Committee, INSTEPP, and now Trails and Connectivity Committee) the goal has remained the same: to create safe sidewalks or trails that will provide the opportunity to bike, walk, run and otherwise be connected to the amenities in the BRAG area. The committee recognized that this goal would be achieved in incremental efforts. The major milestones that were the initial focus were: • Provide connectivity along 4 major thoroughfares - 71st Street from Allisonville Road to Hague Road - 75th Street from Graham Road to Hague Road - Hague Road from 71st Street to 82nd Street - Shadeland Avenue from 82nd Street to Fall Creek • Provide safe pedestrian crossings at major intersections. 22 As of 2015 the following projects in the BRAG area have been completed or have received funding and are in progress: • The DPW built sidewalks along 62nd street from Allisonville road to Binford Boulevard • INDOT constructed sidewalks on both sides of 75th street from Binford to Shadeland Avenue • The DPW constructed a multi use path on 62nd street from Allisonville Road to Rural Street • A sidewalk has been build on 71st street from Steinmeier Drive to Graham Road • A shared bike lane has been built on Allisonvile Road • The 71st street multi-use path from Lakeknoll to Hague opened in October • A multi use path will be constructed on Hague Road from Fall Creek to 82nd street BRAG residents have been behind these efforts as they have worked closely with city agencies to make these happen. We continue to work toward our goal of making our streets safely accessible for pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists and public transportation users so that those who do not, choose not to or can no longer drive can enjoy the wonderful amenities of our BRAG community. 23 BRAG Professionals BRAG Young Professionals (YP) started in late 2013 with a goal of engaging the young and “young at heart” in the BRAG area. After two full years of events and programs, the decision has been made to combine both BRAG YP and the BRAG Business Alliance (BBA) into one big initiative for 2016 – BRAG Professionals. We feel that this new name will encourage more businesses and residents to get involved in networking and service events as the term encompasses people of all ages. We also want to continue to add value to our BRAG businesses and feel that hosting events where they can promote their products and services is a great benefit! The new joining of BBA and BRAG YP means that we have an exciting calendar of events planned for 2016! Our goal is to continue quarterly breakfast meetings that include a speaker and a chance for you to promote yourself and your business. We are open to hearing from you about topics that you would like to see and if you are willing to host an event at your business, that is fantastic! We hope that 2016 will be a year of learning and engaging with fellow BRAG businesses and encourage your participation in this process. To join the BRAG Professionals email list, join the BRAG Professionals Committee, receive a calendar of events, or for any questions or suggestions, you can contact Kim Mathews ([email protected]) or Brian Queck ([email protected]). Thank you for supporting BRAG and we look forward to seeing you at an upcoming event! 24 25 " ANK HOME AGAIN® THRIVES LOCALLY ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: We know that achieving more in the community begins with the people who belong to it.

As the winter weeks pass us by, remember that locally produced, fresh, and healthy food options are coming right along with springtime. Whether you are a long time shopper or stopping in for your first time, the Market at Hague promises to have a variety of local Indiana products to chose from. This past season the market completed its second year at its new and permanent location at Lawrence North High School. With tremendous support from Lawrence Township and Community Health Network, season two went off without a hitch. This season we welcomed back some old favorite vendors and as well as a number of new vendors! Garcia’s Garden stole the show with their lush and nutritious Asian style greens while Inga’s Popcorn introduced irresistible cheesy and caramel popcorn varieties. We also welcomed fresh loose-leaf teas from ADH Teas and Leona’s Kitchen served up grass-fed beef breakfast burritos and unforgettable sweet treats! Not only did the market welcome new vendors we also made great community connections and hosted a variety of community groups. It was our pleasure to introduce Breathing Space Yoga, Boy Scout troops, The Central Indiana Lab Rescue and Adaoption, Walk Against Alzheimer’s, Lawrence Township School District, and more to our market community. If you are a local community group interested in tabling at the market for 2016 please contact us. It was a great year for SNAP at the market! Almost $3000 were spent on local Indiana fruit, vegetables, and value added items. We want to continue growing this number, so if you know any SNAP users, encourage them to double their benefits at the market this season! The upcoming season kicks off May 7th 2016. Look for us every Saturday rain or shine through October from 8 am to 12 Noon. RecycleForce collects your unwanted electronic recyclables every first Saturday of each month and Artisan weekends are every second Saturday. We invite you to join in the lively farmers market atmosphere, learn where your food comes from, and gather with friends and neighbors, to support hardworking Indiana farmers, The market is proud to accept the artisans, and business owners. Convenient Hoosier Works Card to provide parking is located near the football field and access to fresh fruits and vegetables along the front of the school building. for all 33 Thank BRAG with your financial support!

What started out as a handful of concerned citizens bloomed into a nonprofit organization that focuses on improving the quality of life for the northeast corner of Indianapolis – the “BRAG” area. Working with public officials, business owners and residents, BRAG has accomplished so much – from beautification of Binford Boulevard, to the Farmer’s Market, to the economic redevelopment of 71st and Binford including hundreds of new jobs, completion of the 71st Street Trail and much more! What better way to celebrate all of BRAG’s accomplishments than to host a 10-year celebration at beautiful Hillcrest Country Club? On June 11, BRAG did just that! With just over 100 people in attendance, we started the evening at 7pm with a beer tasting courtesy of Monarch Beverage and Bier Brewery, and bourbon tasting courtesy of Glazers Distributors. Enjoying a variety of craft beer and spirits, attendees were able to learn more about the achievements of the neighborhood since BRAG’s formation in 2005. Each table was decorated with a centerpiece to represent each initiative – Trails/Connectivity, Farmer’s Market, Business Alliance, Beautification, Young Professionals, Crime Watch, and Schools. In the background, a slideshow of pictures from throughout the years played to give everyone a visual representation of BRAG’s 10 year successes. Dan Hodgkins and Anne Yeakle, who work in the Community Benefit office for Community Hospital, circled the room to ask for attendee’s input in a survey focused on community concerns. At 8pm, BRAG Executive Director Kas Vargo welcomed guests, introduced 53 Celebrating BRAG’s 10 Year Anniversary (continued from page 53) board members, and discussed a few of the key accomplishments from the past ten years. She noted a few special guests – Jane Lommel, founder and the first board chair, Kai Binford, wife of Thomas Binford, state representative Christina Hale and city councilwoman Christine Scales. Afterward, Dan Hodgkins delivered results of the survey – citing schools, crime, and connectivity as the top three concerns. Following this, a delicious dinner was served! Hillcrest’s Chef Justin carefully prepared the meal using ingredients from the Market at Hague including product from Tulip Tree Creamery, Viking Lamb, Garcia’s Gardens, Grandma Jane’s Pies, Homestead Heritiage, Tonia’s on a Roll and many others. Coffee was provided by Harvest Café Roasters. The meal offered guests a chance to see vendor’s products in action. At 9pm, the winners of the raffle items and 50/50 cash drawing were announced. Raffle ticket winners took gift baskets filled with product from the Market at Hague. As the event wound down, it was wonderful to see the diversity in the room. From the original group of neighbors from 2005 who banded together to attract retail services at 71st/Binford to new faces who have only recently become involved with BRAG in the past two years. It was truly inspiring to see the mix of people who came together in celebration of BRAG’s accomplishments throughout the past decade. While we are excited about our past achievements, we continue to look to the future and what new projects BRAG will tackle.
