Noblesville council denies Olthof Homes development, introduces redistricting ordinance

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Noblesville Common Council members denied a rezone request from Olthof Homes at its May 24 meeting. Other agenda items included an introduction to an ordinance proposing redistricting council boundaries and an introduction for a new apartment complex called Hyde Park Towns and Flats. The next meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. June 14 at City Hall, 16 S. 10th St. What happened: The council denied a rezone request from Olthof Homes by a 6-3 vote.

What it means: The proposal requested a rezone to allow for 120 single-family attached, for-sale townhomes called Holland Meadows. The proposal was originally presented in September 2021, but after the council requested changes to the site plan and architecture requirements, the proposal was withdrawn and a revised request was presented at the May 10 council meeting. Some council members expressed concern regarding architectural standards at the May 10 meeting and suggested the addition of a fire pit and seating area. At the May 24 meeting, despite updated architectural standards, the proposal was denied.

“I’m not sure this is a gateway project,” Council President Megan Wiles said. “I consider the land along the Midland (Trail) to be like waterfront property, so we have to make sure the best projects are in that area.”

What happened: The council approved an amendment for Pebble Brook Planned Development Ordinance.

What it means: The amendment allows for the construction of Noah’s Animal Hospital, a veterinary hospital. Veterinary use was previously not permitted in the ordinance.

What happened: The council heard an introduction to redistricting boundaries for council districts.

What it means: State law requires a city to complete the redistricting process every 10 years after a census. Districts must have contiguous territory, be reasonably compact, not cross precinct lines unless an exception applies and contain as equal a population as possible. Wiles said the council would not vote on the introduction at its next meeting but would hear public comment. More information about redistricting can be found at cityofnoblesville.org/topic/ index.php?topicid=631&structureid=3.

What happened: The council approved an amendment to the unified development ordinance.

What it means: Among items included in the amendment were increased requirements when a building owner plans to demolish a building within downtown Noblesville boundaries. The amendment requires obtaining a certificate of authorization from the Noblesville Plan Commission and Noblesville Common Council. Staff said the ordinance received the “most robust” public input a text amendment ordinance has ever received. The majority of public input supported the ordinance.

What happened: The council heard an introduction for a proposed residential apartment complex at the southwest corner of 141st Street and Brooks School Road.

What it means: The development, known as Hyde Park Towns and Flats, proposes 358 units and includes pocket parks, green space, heavy landscaping along the perimeter, an outdoor pool and an amenity building. The proposal is a transition piece, with units near the perimeter having modern flat roof architecture and units in the interior of the development having traditional pitched roofs.

“Two thousand rubber ducks will cascade into the White River and make their way toward Logan Bridge,” said Kate Baker, Noblesville Main Street executive director.

“Thanks to the Noblesville Fire Dept., all ducks are wrangled at the bridge where we can easily determine the winners. Additionally, we will have live music, food, including hot dogs by the Lions Club and other vendors present in the festival area.”

The weekend of events starts June 3 with the Boys & Girls Club 10th annual Darlington Bed Race at 7 p.m. on the Courthouse Square. The event has historically kicked off summer fun in Noblesville.

The Lions Club will also host its pork chop dinner on the downtown square during the Bed Race. The Lions Club will be back in the

Car show set for Father’s Day

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com David Shank figures this has been a winwin for families for years.

Children can find FUNDRAISING something to do with dads on Father’s Day while raising money for a good cause.

The Central Indiana Vintage Vehicles’ 31st Annual Father’s Day Car Show is set for 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. June 19 at Forest Park in Noblesville.

Proceeds will go to The Elysian Foundation to benefit residents of Normal Life of Sheridan, which provides home-based care for people with severe brain injuries.

“They have four people in one house and a caretaker that is there 24 hours a day,” said Shank, a Noblesville resident. “The Elysian Foundation does things the government wouldn’t pay for, like birthday parties, things at Christmas, socks and underwear, just common things. They didn’t have another (financial) source, so the car show became their source.”

The show is designed for cars built prior to 1997 or customized or altered.

This 1957 Chrysler 300 is one of the types of cars featured at the Central Indiana Vintage Vehicles’ Father’s Day Car Show at Forest Park in Noblesville. (Photo courtesy of Larry Grabb)

Shank said in 2021 there were approximately 200 cars and 10,000 visitors.

The main prizes are for best of show, best interior, best paint and best engine.

The awards are set for 2:30 p.m.

“People who have old cars like to show them off,” Shank said.

There will be music from the 1950s, ’60s and ’70s. There will be food and soft drinks sold.

There is no admission fee. Preregistration is $7 and ends June 5. Registration is $10 on the day of the show.

Shank said the show usually raises between $3,000 to $5,000 to the Elysian Foundation.

Fishers track athlete leaps to successful senior year

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com There is no secret to Fishers High School senior Ella Scally’s success.

“Ella is one of the hardest-working athletes I’ve ever coached,” Fishers girls track and field coach Sarah Riordan said.

“She is incredibly consistent in practice each day, which has helped her regain her strength and speed since having surgery this offseason. It has been a process, and one that she has given to each day.

“I am excited to watch her finish her high school career, and I look forward to the big things she will accomplish at the next level as she heads to Miami of Ohio (University).”

Scally captured three individual sectional titles, the 100 meters in 12.05 seconds, the 200 meters in 25.26 seconds and the long jump with 19 feet, 1 inch, at the May 17 Hamilton Southeastern Sectional. Scally placed second in the 100, 200 and long jump May 24 at the Lafayette Jefferson Regional.

Scally finished second in the 100 and sixth in the 200 in the 2021 IHSAA State Track and Field Meet.

Scally said she has made the most im-

Favorite TV show: “You” Favorite Athlete: Tara Davis provement in long jump this year. She entered the season with a personal-best jump of 18 feet, 8 inches and has jumped 19-4 this season.

“I would love to hit a goal of 20 feet in long jump and I would love to PR (personal record) in the 100 and 200,” Scally saiid.

Scally was a competitive gymnast for eight years.

“When I was 12, I decided to take a break from that, and my parents signed me up for Indiana Storm Track Club because they saw me race a boy on the football field and my 40-yard time was better than his,” she said. “I fell in love with long jump immediately. Once I started training with the Storm coaches, they had a way of making it fun but also competitive, which I was used to from gymnastics.

“I enjoy challenging myself to be better every time I step on the track, which is important for not only athletics but also life in general. Being the best version of myself is important to me.”

Scally is convinced Miami University will be an excellent place for her to be her best self.

“From the moment I stepped on campus I connected well with the coach (and) track team. The campus is beautiful, and they have an amazing academic reputation,” Scally said. “It also helps that I am not too far from home.”

NobleAct therapy dog is instrumental in deescalating situations, providing comfort

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com The NobleAct program has a new officer, but she doesn’t wear a bulletproof vest. Instead, she wears a soft vest emblazoned with the words “therapy dog.”

Luna, a 1-year-old black Labrador retriever, joined NobleAct in February. A combined program of the Noblesville police and fire departments, NobleAct provides specialized crisis response to individuals struggling during a mental health or situational crisis.

Noblesville Police Dept. Officer Ben Lugar, Luna’s handler, helped launch the NobleAct program in 2020. After researching similar programs across the nation, Lugar noted the impact therapy dogs had on most.

“We recognized as a city that our traditional methods of police and fire response aren’t necessarily providing the full holistic care,” Lugar said. “NobleAct comes in to address those needs and ensuring we don’t have to have another crisis moment. As I was working through (NobleAct), we identified that it is amazing how powerful dogs are.

“I saw therapy dogs deployed across the country for critical incidents and crisis situations, and it sparked the department’s journey to getting Luna. Now, she responds to all the calls I go on.”

In the three months since Luna joined the program, she has assisted Lugar on more than 40 calls.

“She brings the temperature of the room down a little bit so we can

start talking (with the patient) about the resources that are needed,” Lugar said. “I could not do my job now without her.

It is amazing to see her in action. It has made my job so much more effective for our community members. I love the fact I become invisible, and the people in crisis will talk to Luna as if she’s a person. They tell her things they maybe wouldn’t feel comfortable telling me. All that information is used to help get them those resources they are looking for.”

During a recent call, Lugar said Luna helped deescalate a situation of a woman in a mental health crisis.

“Last month, we got a 911 call of a female threatening suicide,” Lugar said. “This is somebody that has had a lot of police interactions for her mental health, and she is typically pretty fearful of law enforcement and becomes agitated when police or EMS show up. Luna and I showed up and she instantly forgot police were on the scene. She solely started looking and talking to Luna. She started petting Luna and was no longer in crisis-thinking mode without us having to take her to the hospital or use force to ensure she was safe.”

Luna also assists Lugar, a former school resource officer, on calls to the Noblesville Schools district.

“We responded to one of the schools who had a kiddo (run away) and, right as teachers and staff got the child, Luna came up and the kid’s emotions came back down enough to come back inside,” Lugar said.

Luna has proved so successful that the fire department side of NobleAct plans to add a therapy dog in October.

The dog, a male English Labrador named Carbon, was donated by the same family that donated Luna to NobleAct. Noblesville Fire Dept. Division Chief Trevor Hash said Carbon is undergoing the same training as Luna.

“He will perform the same function as Luna, it gives us a

second dog,” Hash said. “The primary function is for NobleAct, but it also gives us the ability to use him for prevention things like when we partner up with the elementary schools for fire safety.”

Lugar said the fire department’s therapy dog will be equipped to come on scenes where someone is suffering a cardiac arrest or other traumatic event and provide comfort and care to the people close to the patient. The dog also will be used for fire safety programs for school-aged children.

ON THE COVER: Luna displays the command “snuggle” with Mikayla Shaw. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

LUNA’S COMMANDS NobleAct therapy dog Luna knows the commands “knuckles,” “visit” and “snuggle,” all of which she uses to help NobleAct Officer Ben Lugar do his job better.

Lugar said Luna is equipped to provide emotional regulation.

Knuckles is Lugar’s way of introducing Luna to people in need. When a person puts out their fist and says “knuckles,” Luna gives them what Lugar calls “a fist bump.” Visit is a command where Luna will come up alongside a person and lay her head in their lap.

Snuggle is a command where Luna will jump across the person’s lap and act more enthusiastically, such as licking the person’s face.

The fire department’s therapy dog is being trained in similar commands.

ESSAY

HUMOR

Vicious cycle

Time passages Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker Times are tough for some and about to get tough for a bunch more. Inflation is significantly outpacing wage growth and interest rates have been pushed up dramatically for the first time in many years. Sure, we seem willing to pay $4 or $5 for a gallon of fuel. And rents or purchase of housing are hitting all-time highs. But for now, we continue to spend our hard-earned money even as the stress is beginning to show.

It is not the first time our nation has been confronted with such a series of unfortunate events, and it probably won’t be the last. We can look to the past for guidance, if not a prediction, of what might be on the road ahead. Businesses and individuals alike will recess into a posture of preserving and holding onto the cash we have. Unnecessary expenses will be forestalled or permanently derailed. We might carry a bigger balance on the credit card thinking that cash-in-hand is always better than promised credit. In the most severe of cases, we might start delaying routine payments to our vendors just a bit past the due date.

In some industries, the slowdown is already under way. As labor costs have skyrocketed and more consumers are unwilling to pay for the required increases, it leaves a significant gap.

Business owners trim margins and end up being the bank for some of their customers. Would it be better to go to a vendor in advance, disclosing that the squeeze is going to delay payment? Or is it better to keep the circumstance secret, hoping that it all blows over? Is it passive aggressive, an indication of no other option, or a smart strategic move? How can the vendor make payroll if the customer takes too long? Who suffers most?

I’ve been reflecting quite a bit on the passage of time, specifically its strange inconsistency. Fellow educators, for example, will understand how the last few weeks of May drag on for months while summer break literally flies by. I turned 50 this year, but I think of myself as being no older than 40 (I can’t possibly have been alive for half a century and look this good!). And my dad died in 2020, but our final conversation still feels like it happened on Wednesday.

That’s – DANIELLE WILSON thousands of dollars in book rental fees (most of which have been paid), approximately 120 teachers, 30 Muffins with Moms and Donuts with Dads, six principals and countless missed PTO meetings because they were held during the day when people, myself, included, worked.

And yet, I can recall one particularly rainy Kindy 500 event, a gazillion early morning Color Guard practices, and several frantic “Mom, you forgot to pick me up” text messages as if they were yesterday. Unbelievably, 20 years’ worth of my family’s experiences have revolved around our schools, for better or worse, ‘til commencement do us part.

Now that I’m at the end, I can honestly admit to thinking “Man, that took forever!” and “How can it be over already?”

I am, of course, a little saddened at this turn of events, but also somewhat relieved. Mostly, though, I’m perplexed.

For the passage of time indeed harbors a strange inconsistency.

Peace out.

Nonprofit founder launches personal cancer research mission

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Anderson Office: (765) 639-0671 | Carmel Office: (317) 848-0201

spartz.house.gov Anderson Office Carmel Office (765) 639-0671 (317) 848-0201 www.spartz.house.gov

Kelli McLaughlin founded Clothes for a Cause nearly five years ago as a way of supporting charities in the community and around the world.

GIVING BACK Now, after being diagnosed with brain cancer, the Carmel resident is doing her share to raise funds for researching the disease.

McLaughlin, 44, was originally diagnosed in September 2021 with a meningioma, a non-cancerous tumor.

“Meningioma tumors actually run in our family,” said McLaughlin, co-owner with Mandi Adams of Clothes With A Cause shops at Clay Terrace in Carmel and in downtown Indianapolis. “But it’s not what (the tumor) ended up being. My symptoms got really bad really quick with seizures, and within 30 days of the initial diagnosis, I was back in the hospital.”

She got a new diagnosis of Grade 4 glioblastoma in October and soon had brain surgery.

“They removed everything that they could see,” McLaughlin said. “They could only (remove) 98 to 99 percent because it grows almost invisibly in the lining of your brain.”

A grueling 42 consecutive days of chemotherapy and radiation followed.

She started maintenance chemotherapy in January, receiving treatment for five consecutive days followed by 23 days off. She said she will repeat the cycle through the rest of the year or as long as she can tolerate it. She also wears a head piece called Optune.

“It’s the only FDA-approved device that’s not used invasively to help extend life for

patients like myself,” she said. “It’s been shown to add another year or two to life expectancy. Life expectancy for tumors like mine is between 12 and 16 months upon diagnosis.”

With four children, including a 5-year-old, and her first grandchild due in July, McLaughlin wants to have as much time with them as possible.

“Brain cancer research is the most underfunded cancer research out there,” McLaughlin said. “Since it’s not curable, I can see people not wanting to chuck tons of money at it. But you are never going to find a cure unless you raise money for it.”

The first Kelli’s Kegs N’ Eggs 5K was held in April at Bier Brewery North in Carmel, raising more than $50,000. McLaughlin said half of the proceeds will go to glioblastoma research. The other half is going to a scholarship fund at Lake City Bank for families that have someone newly diagnosed with the disease.

‘Rumors’ provides perfect blend in playwright Simon’s only farce

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com For Noblesville resident Sara Castillo Dandurand, “Rumors” represents a perfect blend.

PERFORMANCES “Neil Simon’s writing coupled with a farce is a great combination,” she said. “This is the only farce that he wrote.”

Dandurand will appear as Cassie in Main Street Production’s presentation of “Rumors” June 2 to 11 at Basile Westfield Playhouse.

Dandurand has previously performed at Civic Theatre, Bard Fest and Mud Creek Players. She was in “Much Ado About Nothing” at Civic in 2020 along with Kelsey Van Voorst.

Van Voorst, a Fishers resident, is playing Cookie in “Rumors.”

Van Voorst, a Carmel High School graduate, has performed in ComedySportz for 15 years and improv events around the city.

“I never really do anything too serious.

I really like farces because they are so fast, and timing is everything with a farce.

It needs to be very quick,” Van Voorst said. “My high school teacher (Jim Peterson) used to call farces fast, furious and funny.”

Westfield resident Josh Elicker, who moved from Charlotte, N.C., three years ago, is performing in his first play in the Indianapolis area.

“I like the speed of everything, and everything is overlapping,” said Elicker, who plays Lenny Gatz. “It just has this frantic energy about it and that just makes for a fun show. I have never been in a Neil Simon show but always wanted to do one.

One of my favorite shows I did in college was ‘Noises Off,’ which is a famous farce, so I instantly fell in love with the style of doors opening and closing and people running up and down stairs and people screwing things up.”

Noblesville resident Laura Givens is playing the role of Chris Gorman.

“I love Neil Simon and it’s a light, frothy

comedy,” she said.

The play is quite a departure from her last show, when she played Blanche DuBois in Carmel Community Players’ production of “A Streetcar Named Desire” in 2019.

“This is a nice change, something a little lighter,” Givens said. “I hadn’t done a comedy in a while. It’s fun, sophisticated humor.”

Givens, who is from Mount Vernon, had previously worked with “Rumors” director Jen Otterman in Shakespeare in the Park.

Monya Wolf, who lives in Indianapolis, performed in “White Christmas” at Westfield Playhouse in December.

“I adore farces,” said Wolf, who portrays Claire Ganz. “I always think it’s hilarious.”

Wolf has been in Indianapolis for six

years, doing 16 shows either in technical crew or acting.

Wolf and Otterman are friends but have not worked together before.

Otterman has acted in “Rumors” before as Chris Gorman at the Red Barn Summer Theatre in Frankfort.

“I have also previously directed it at Hamilton Southeastern High School, where I taught theater, speech and writing for 30 years,” Otterman said. “I do enjoy directing fast-paced farces. It challenges the creative juices to come up with funny stage business that hits the mark and fits the characters and situations.

“The cast has been working hard and are playing off one another well.”

For more, westfieldplayhouse.org.

To celebrate Red Barn Summer Theatre opening its summer season June 8, Blackhawk Winey & Heather’s Flowers will present Summer Kick-Off, a free event, from 3 to 6 p.m. June 4 in the Red Barn picnic area in Frankfort with a free wine tasting, snacks and live music.

The season opens with “Deceiving Granny” from June 8 to 19. Two more plays follow with “Murdered to Death” from June 22 to July 2 and “Bright Star” from July 7 to 17.

The box office will be open for anyone wanting to purchase tickets or try out their seats before they buy. Tours of the recently refurbished lobby and dressing room areas will be given.

Holly Woody from WiseWood Farm will offer some of its natural food products for sale.

Center stages WWII love stories

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Ellen Kingston envisioned a smaller production when she proposed writing and directing a revue of World War MUSIC II-era songs and true stories.

Kingston, director of creative events for the Center for the Performing Arts, said she thought it could be presented in the Center’s smaller Studio Theater or The Tarkington. Instead, the Center’s CEO/ President Jeffrey McDermott said he wanted to stage it in the Palladium.

“All of a sudden it became a multimedia presentation of eight singers and five musicians,” Kingston said. “(McDermott) gave me carte blanche to write and produce it, and off we go. I’m thrilled to have that kind of support.”

“I’ll Be Seeing You: Love Stories of World War II” is set for 8 p.m. June 11 at the Palladium in Carmel.

“We’re telling eight different love stories of couples who either grew up and met right after the war or were together during the war and stayed married for 60 years,” Kingston said. “I’m telling their stories with

We’re singing two songs for each couple.”

Kathleen Hacker, director of vocal studies at the University of Indianapolis, said she is honored to have been asked to be a part of the story reconstructions.

“Ellen has taken great care to weave these accounts together in a stunning pastiche, supported by videos, songs and family pictures,” Hacker said.

One of the eight families is McDermott’s parents, who grew up during the World War II era and will attend the event.

Theater shows ‘Little Prince’

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com It’s easy for Tanner Brunson to embrace his role of The Aviator in Mud Creek Players’ production PLAY of “The Little Prince.”

“I would say what I like the most about my character is that he’s not afraid to be himself,” the Noblesville resident said.

Brunson “It takes him some time, of course. He has to break down what was done to him in the past, but in the end he’s not afraid to be who he is.”

The performances run June 2 to June 18 at Mud Creek Barn Theater, 9740 E. 86th St., Indianapolis.

“The Little Prince” is written in the style of a children’s book but is actually a complex fable written by French aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupery. The story is written from the perspective of The Aviator, who has had to make an emergency landing of his small plane in a remote desert. He is met by a boy who is dressed as a prince.

Indianapolis resident Spencer Holom, who plays the Little Prince, said he sought the title role when he auditioned.

“I had never been affiliated with any large theater events,” said Holom, who recently completed eighth grade at Fall Creek Valley Middle School in Lawrence. “I’ve been in some (plays) before but not really the main role, so I thought it would be a cool new experience.

“I hadn’t known much Holom about the actual ‘Little Prince,’ all the films and all that, but I think it will be cool.”

Holom said memorizing lines while moving about the stage is challenging.

“I’ve got a ton of lines, a few of them bigger than the others, where I’m doing a lot of movement in those, especially monologues,” Holom said. “It can be tough to remember the lines and the movements, so sometimes I will be a bit scrambled. But I just refresh myself and keep practicing, and everything should be fine.”

Blueprint for Improvement: Timeless kitchen transformation Commentary by Larry Greene Built in 1997, this home’s kitchen had great bones, but the curved island configuration and impractical desk obstructed the room’s natural flow, necessitating a makeover to improve form and function. A new appliance arrangement, custom cabinetry and updated finishes resulted in a “wow”-worthy space that is as functional as it is stylish.

After

THE BLUEPRINT • The neutral palette brightens the space, while chic gold accents add warmth and elegance to create a timeless appeal.

• Statement lantern pendants provide a touch of style without dominating the visual space.

• Removing the desk and relocating the refrigerator and double ovens provided increased storage space and an improved aesthetic.

• A knife block drawer, charging drawer and hidden microwave keep essential elements out of sight but within arm’s reach.

• The new island provides ample work and gathering space without interrupting the room’s flow.

Sure bet about sherbet Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Side view of Trevi Fountain in Rome. (Photos by Don Knebel)

Visiting Rome’s Trevi Fountain Commentary by Don Knebel I am writing this column in Rome, the subject of the next several columns. May and early June are perfect TRAVEL times to be in Rome, with high temperatures in the low 80s and lows in the 60s. Today, we visit the Trevi Fountain, the most famous fountain in the world.

Since 19 B.C., aqueducts have carried fresh water to Rome from mountains to the east, with fountains at their ends. In 1732, Pope Clement XII initiated a competition for a design of a new fountain at the end of the Vergine aqueduct in an area now called Trevi because three streets (“tre vie”) converged there. Nicola Salvi, a Roman architect, won the competition with a design combining a fountain with a newly colonnaded façade of Palazzo Pali, a Roman Palace. After Salvi’s death in 1751, Giuseppe Pannini oversaw the project. When completed in 1762, the Trevi Fountain was 160 feet wide and 85 feet tall. At the center of the fountain is an enormous statue by Pietro Bracci, depicting the god Oceanus beneath a triumphal arch riding a sea-shell chariot pulled by two horses, one angry and one calm, both managed by tritons. In niches beside Oceanus are statues representing health and abundance, qualities associated with the fountain’s water. Until the water from the fountain was declared unsafe, Trevi Fountain provided water for the Vatican, carried there in barrels.

The Trevi Fountain was featured in the movie “Three Coins in the Fountain,” which promoted the idea that throwing three coins into the fountain can guarantee a re-

The Trevi Fountain at night.

Today I’m tackling the words sherbet, sherbert and sorbet.

First, what is sorbet? Sorbet is a frozen dessert made from GRAMMAR GUY frozen water and juice. That’s it. No dairy. And it’s pronounced the way you would talk about the Chesapeake Bay if someone punched it over and over: sorebay. The word sorbet is derived from the Arabic verb “sariba” (to drink). Interestingly, we also get the words sherbet/sherbert and syrup from sariba.

We have to discuss sherbet, which is basically all the coldness of ice cream without any of the taste. Yes, sherbet does contain milk. Start with a pureed base of fruit and sugar, add some cream or milk, and then freeze. However, make sure that your frozen concoction contains between 1 and 2 percent dairy fat or it can’t be considered sherbet.

I don’t know about you, but I grew up calling sherbet “sherbert.” As in, “Sure, Burt ol’ buddy, I will go to the park to feed pigeons with you.” As I evolved from

Bookish Boy into Grammar Guy, I just knew that “sherbert” was incorrect and that “sherbet” (pronounced sher-bit) was correct.

They’re both technically correct.

Although “sherbet” is the overwhelmingly more common spelling, both spellings came about when the word was adapted into English around the early 17th century. “Sherbet” (the spelling and the pronunciation) is much more common. Although the Oxford English Dictionary considers “sherbert” a misspelling of “sherbet,” I side with the U.S.-based people at Merriam-Webster who see “sherbert” as a lesser-used variant of “sherbet.”

So, whatever your flavor this summer, make sure to go easy on people who say “sherbert,” as they aren’t technically wrong.
