Piano Solutions Inc. Shop singing piano's praises Shop owners want to give community an arts education Piano Solutions Inc.
owners Greg Durthaler and Brian Hostetler like to think they're in tune with the music industry-all the better to help their
clients. The key (so to speak) is to offer a full range of products and services. "Today, we offer tuning, moving and storage
of pianos while carrying an array of method books, print music and piano accessories," Durthaler said. "We...
MoreFull Perspective Video Services Inc.: Marketing firm is one-stop shop Company stays agile thanks to logistics unit
May 21, 2007
After a stint in public accounting, Whetzel went to work for Fleming Packaging Co., a firm that duplicated and distributed
videotapes. After taking some losses on a couple of projects, the owners of Fleming didn't see the potential for video duplication
and distribution, so Whetzel and business partner Charlie Seldon bought the company in 1991. Doing the deal wasn't easy. "I
borrowed from family, refinanced the house, and took everything out of savings," he said. "I was dead broke and...

Williams Beck & Hess Inc. Demand fueled growing pains When quality suffered, Camby firm slowed down to work out the kinks
At 24, Harry Beals turned down a job working for a once-prominent petroleum tank company that had lost its luster following
its founder's retirement. Four months later, he bought it. After 30 years under Beals' control, Williams Beck & Hess Inc.
has grown into a business that generates nearly $1 million in revenue each year-not a bad return on...
MoreDoes gender matter in politics?: Despite high-profile wins, politics still remains a male-dominated field
December 11, 2006
1992 was dubbed the "Year of the Woman," when four women were elected to the U.S. Senate, but 2006 may be seen as the beginning
of a new women's political movement, says Marie Wilson, president of The White House Project, a Washington, D.C.-based group
that's working to advance women in political office. Indiana has made some strides, but 85 years after women won the hard-fought
right to vote, the number of women in elected office at the national level hasn't...
MorePools of Fun: Diving in the deep end Homebuilder's 'experiment' still paying off 25 years later
August 7, 2006
In 1981, few central Indiana residents considered an inground pool a backyard necessity, but Plainfield custom homebuilder
Larry Good added one to a spec home anyway-and jumped into the deep end of a new enterprise. "After it was installed, the
home sold immediately," said Bruce Holmes, CEO of the company Good launched. Pools of Fun started with one location and four
employees. Today, it has five locations, a range of products and 90 full-time employees who share ownership of the...
MoreeImagine Technology Group: Technology firm aims to deliver service with its software Owner: Hiring good employees key to small company's success
June 12, 2006
Communication-and simplicity-can be a challenge when it comes to tech talk. "It's like the old adage, if you ask a tech guy
what time it is, he'll tell you how to build a watch," said Joel Russell, president of Indianapolis-based software developer
eImagine Technology Group. But Russell works around potential "lingo" problems when he's meeting with customers. No matter
the industry, he looks for ways to automate inefficient processes using computer software. His goal is to save his clients

MoreTan Mart Inc.: Tan 'fad' pays off for salon supplier But owner looking to add services to make it through slower months
May 1, 2006
When Dane Laster told his mother he wanted to distribute tanning-salon goods and services, she told him it was a fad that
would never last. He has proven her wrong. "It's the fad that never died," he said, and the business he once dreamed of now
supports him, his wife and their three kids. After his 1994 graduation from Perry Meridian High School, Laster went to work
as a pharmacy technician before trying his hand at sales. Eventually, he made...
MoreHome Room Construction: Remodeler's building plan: Double revenue Company targets homeowners considering do-it-yourself projects
January 23, 2006
Scott Heinemeyer's business is all about potential. That's why Home Room Construction tackles many kinds of projects-everything
from simple handyman services to complex room additions. After all, what's the point in limiting the possibilities? "We are
a big company that happens to be small right now," Heinemeyer said of his four-person firm. All told, Home Room finishes anywhere
from 200 to 300 projects a year, he said, and revenue is expected to nearly double to $500,000 in 2006. Heinemeyer started...

So the Mayor adds another non value added layer to having a vehicle towed? Whereby the City Government RECIEVES AN ILLEGAL KICKBACK FROM A LGOISTICS COMPANY THAT SUBS THE WORK TO LOCAL TOW COMPANIES? What is the service the City performs for receiving the "tribute"? This is RICO!!!!! What a corrupt and unnecessary layer. What a dirtbag Mayor and his cronies.
Owner occupied housing. Clear enough?
So people think I am paranoid. It's from experience in dealing with puds requested by developers who make major donations themselves to representatives, have nice fund raisers for those running for office and hide through pac's. then there are the public relation firms. You will note some pr comments below. You there Clyde Lee? My opinion. Commercial along 421, great. Multifamily housing, terrible idea that will change the town. Senior condos or zero lot line homes west, great. I suggest keeping all entries to commercial areas at 421. All entries to owner occupied on sycamore. Will keep the traffic on sycamore down some. Two other things. You can't trust what will be there in 10 years. Steve builds quality stuff, but areas change over time. Look at the changes at the wall mart center at 86th and 421 over the last 10 years. Look at the apartments and neighborhoods behind St Vincent's. Raintree properties WILL decrease in value if commercial and multifamily goes in near. It has already been happening around the bridges area. The houses that have been sold recently are way below market. Several deals not closed due to the Illinois construction and the whole unsurety of the bridges. It's pretty simple, Zionsville will approve the whole thing because the city council has been groomed over a LONG period of time for this. I might even suggest some are in their position as a result of this.
Esta, do you have a dog in this fight? You seem to really want to knock anyone against this project. No, I didn't move to Indiana for the architecture. I moved here for that red barn in the field. The horses and fields of corn. A place that is NOT overdeveloped. There are plenty of nearby places in Indianapolis that could be REDEVELOPED instead.
RKW - OK, we get it, you're paranoid. The question is, are you paranoid enough? Greg - Yes, Pittman(s) is (are) at it again. They are developers, they build things. It's what they do. So when you go to work tomorrow, Greg, you're at it again too. Cliff - Really? You moved to Indiana for its progressive architecture? That's like moving to England for the cuisine. Zionsvillain - The house you moved to was once a field or woods. I'm willing to bet folks were upset when that ground was plowed under and a house was built. But I guess now that you are in, everything should stop? "My house was OK, but the next one is sprawl." SE Guy - Please don't paint us with such a wide brush. Most reasonable Zionsville residents welcome planned, measured development.
