Westfield rejects second-class city designation

By Matthew Kent news@currentinwestfield.com City officials in Westfield have rejected a proposal to adopt a new government structure that CITY NEWS would have resulted in the addition of two city council members and other changes.

The Westfield City Council voted 6-1 during its June Willis 27 meeting to deny moving the city from third-class to second-class.

Council member Scott Willis was the only official who voted in favor of the proposal.

The move now means that Westfield will remain with five district council members and two at-large under its current desig-

nation. If Westfield had opted to move to second-class status, it would have increased the total number of council members to nine — six members representing their respective districts and three at-large members.

Officials had sought the shift from third-class to second-class because of its growing population.

Indiana Code indicates that cities with a population between 35,000 and 599,999 can be in the second-class Johns category, although changes in population don’t automatically move municipalities to new classes. Mayor Andy Cook previously said the change was being pursued because of Westfield’s population surpassing 35,000 people, adding that the business needs of each city department

City takes no action on establishing historic preservation commission

By Matthew Kent news@currentinwestfield.com City leaders in Westfield have tabled an ordinance that would establish a historic preservation commission.

Westfield City Council members agreed to take GOVERNMENT no action on the matter during its June 27 meeting. The proposal was brought to the council in March by Indiana Landmarks Association Vice President Mark Dollase, who described it as an avenue to protect historic buildings or districts in the future.

Under the proposed ordinance, the city of Westfield’s intent would be to “preserve and protect historic or architecturally buildings, structures, sites, monuments, streetscapes, squares and neighborhoods of the historic districts” that would be created if it were passed.

In addition, the ordinance stipulates the commission would have the authority to acquire, gift, bequest or lease any real or personal property. It could also sell, lease, rent or dispose of property as necessary, according to the ordinance.

When the proposal was brought forward earlier this year, residents voiced concern that the commission could result in government overreach. Concerns were also lodged over what the funding source would be for the commission and how much power it would have to approve or deny aesthetic changes within the city’s historic district.

At least one council member suggested waiting to take action on the proposed ordinance, saying the issue comes down to how to protect property owners’ rights.

The council’s next meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. July 11 at Westfield City Hall.

have also changed because of growth.

The vote also means other proposed changes won’t take effect as well. Under a second-class city designation, the clerk-treasurer’s position would have been eliminated and replaced with a city controller, which is a mayor-appointed position.

In addition, the mayor can break tie votes under Westfield’s current third-class city status, but that would have ceased under the proposal that was considered by the council. Hamilton County cities such as Carmel, Fishers and Noblesville have all adopted second-class statuses in recent years.

Council member Mike Johns offered a brief comment following the council’s vote and said he didn’t think it was the right time to make the change.

“I think at some point in time we should be a second-class city,” he said.

DISPATCHES Correction — In a June 28 article about Westfield Rocks the 4th, hot dog eating contest entry fees were incorrect. There was no charge for the contest.

Centier Bank appoints branch manager — Timothy Harvey has been named branch manager at Centier Bank’s Carmel branch at 568 E. Carmel Dr. Harvey joined Centier in 2018 after working in various customer facing roles in banking and hospitality. He was appointed as branch manager of Centier’s Whitestown Meijer location in 2018, leading his team in and representing Centier in community sponsorships and local Harvey initiatives.

Westfield-based Roundtripper continues to grow game of baseball

By Will Riddell news@currentinwestfield.com When Chris and Sue Estep opened Roundtripper Sports Academy in Westfield in 1993, the couple was preparing to do something they said no one in SPORTS Indiana had ever done — create an academy dedicated solely to America’s pastime.

Now approaching its 30th anniversary, Roundtripper Academy’s dedication to player development and the game of baseball itself hasn’t wavered.

“It’s come a long way since our beginnings, for sure,” Sue said.

The Esteps met at the University of Kentucky, where Chris was an All-American baseball player and Sue was a cheerleader.

After his college career, Chris played for the minor leagues teams affiliated with the Cincinnati Reds and the Pittsburgh Pirates. He opened Roundtripper after the conclusion of his professional career.

Today, the facility has 65,000 square feet of indoor space and three outdoor fields.

The academy hosts tournaments and fields elite teams, runs camps and offers private

Pro alumni include Lance Lynn, Drew Storen and Tucker Barnhart. Lynn, a pitcher for the Chicago White Sox, is a two-time All-Star and World Series champion. Barnhart, who catches for the Detroit Tigers, is

Sue said it is the knowledge, experience and dedication of the staff that make Roundtripper unique.

“The quality of our teaching staff is second to none,” she said.

Softball instruction also is offered at Roundtripper. Sue said the academy benefits players on and off the field by combining skills instruction and teamwork. She said fun also is an emphasis.

Club awards scholarships

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The Carmel Runners Club scholarship program continues to lend a hand to area students.

RUNNING In the 10year history of the club, the nonprofit has awarded more than $20,000 in scholarships to local students.

The five 2022 graduates Provost who recently received the $1,000 scholarships included two Westfield High School graduates, Hannah Pensyl, who will attend Purdue University, and Parker Provost, who will attend the University of Southern Indiana. The other three scholarship winners were Jamie Klavon, Carmel High School, Xavier University; Zoe Dinius, Noblesville High School, Taylor University; and Sydney Smith, Guerin Catholic, Purdue University. Smith is a Carmel resident.

Norm Campbell, chair of the CRC Scholarship Committee, said the nonprofit considered 17 applicants. The criteria included grades, an essay about the impact of

running and having a healthy lifestyle and recommendation letters.

Pensyl and Provost competed in cross country and track and field in high school.

“When I joined the Westfield cross country team, I realized not only how life changing distance running is, but how wonderful the distance running community is,” Provost said. “Being a recipient of the Carmel Runners Club Scholarship is such an Pensyl honor not only to be selected, but to be invited into a community of lifelong runners is really incredible. Running is something I love doing and I plan on running for the rest of my life.”

Pensyl said the scholarship is a blessing because it helps her build a financial foundation that allows her to continue her education long term.

“I am looking to potentially continue my education through medical or dental school, so beginning this journey with financial assistance will relieve a lot of stress for me and my family,” she said.

A NEW HOME Westfield Fire Dept. to move into new headquarters in 2023

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com The Westfield Fire Dept. will soon have a new home.

WFD broke ground on its new headquarters June 1 at the southeast corner of 171st Street and Ditch Road.

The headquarters, also known as Station 81, will feature eight bays, a new training tower, physical fitness facilities, living quarters, fleet services and administrative offices. The headquarters is expected to be complete in 2023. WFD is currently housed in the city’s public safety building alongside the Westfield Police Dept. at 17535 Dartown Rd. WFD Chief Rob Gaylor said the department took into consideration health and safety when designing the new station. Amenities include private sleeping areas and cancer prevenGaylor tion initiatives.

“In the old headquarters building now, we have an open bunk room. So, with the pandemic and other infectious diseases, what

we learned is we really need to accommodate a private sleeping area for individuals,” Gaylor said.

Private sleeping areas also benefit sleep.

With a new firehouse alerting system, firefighters will only hear an alarm when it is a call they’re involved with.

“As a firefighter, I would go into my bunk, select what apparatus I’m on so I don’t get disturbed during other apparatus calls,” Gaylor said. “Part of the biggest risks with firefighters outside of cancer is cardiovascular disease. We learned through studies that sleep deprivation and the added stress of bells and lights and how those things sound and how bright it gets puts a lot of stress on our heart.”

An air lock will separate the apparatus bay from the living corridors. Exhaust hoses will plug directly into the apparatus in the bay, so exhaust is pulled through a filter and sent outside the building instead of in the bays where firefighters might breathe in carcinogens.

“We are building in those isolation barriers to separate as much as we can and reduce the exposure factor with the carcinogens and other diseases that could

get passed around by having a more open concept,” Gaylor said.

The new headquarters also will afford more training opportunities. The building will feature a tower, similar to a clock tower. Gaylor said the tower provides added space to store hoses and also provides an environment for firefighters to practice elevator shaft maneuvers or rope rescue operations.

RQAW is designing the project, and the Hagerman Group is constructing it.

When the fire department vacates the public safety building, the WPD will further expand into the space.

“Once Westfield Fire has vacated their half of the existing public safety building, we will evaluate how that space can be utilized for an interim period,” WPD Chief Joel Rush said.

However, the police department expects to conRush struct a new headquarters in the future as well. Rush said the department is in the early stages of planning, designing and site selection for the future

police headquarters.

A FOURTH STATION Westfield Fire Dept. has three stations – one at 1920 E. 151st St., one at 17944 Grassy Branch Rd. and one at the Westfield Public Safety building, 17535 Dartown Rd., which will move into a new headquarters in 2023.

WFD Chief Rob Gaylor said a fourth station is already being discussed.

“We are looking in the area of Grand Park west of (U.S.) 31 and east of Tomlinson (Road) or Wheeler Road

by Chad Hittle Drive,” Gaylor said.

“The city owns some property up there.”

Gaylor said the area is a good location because fire apparatuses would have easy access to 191st Street for east or west travel and U.S. 31 for south or north travel.

The last dance

Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Nostalgia leads us to seek out occasions to reconnect with our past.

Once great and vibrant rock stars roll out a “final” tour, likely designed to pay for their most recent divorce. The 74-year-old bad boy singer is greeted with cheers from his balding and Rubenesque audience, mixed with a few hipsters hoping to score a T-shirt to wear ironically while working as a barista and finishing their degree in somethingwe’ve-never-heard-of studies. The crowd is appreciative but cannot focus on the performance, instead noting “how good he looks for his age” with every new song. The youngsters in the crowd find themselves singing along to tunes they recognize from recent auto commercials, thinking that they were simple jingles rather than once-groundbreaking hit songs.

It is all good fun, and it makes us feel like we are a part of some collective history. Locals of a certain age are quick to retell the story of the “last” show of the great Elvis Presley. Although it took place almost 45 years ago to the day, there is a bit of shared infamy in having attended in person. Still, if we are always looking back, are we missing something in the future?

Vampires and rock stars indulge in any number of troublesome acts to hang onto youth. But should they? If given the chance, would we exchange our past for someone else’s future? If we imagine that we could improve on the likely trajectory of the future, we might assume perhaps. If we knew that we’d lose our own accumulated joy and sorrow and be doomed to live the likely pedestrian life of another, perhaps not.

Are we defined more by our history or by our future? If the latter, how much time are we dedicating to thinking about where we are going?

Friends, it’s done. My life as a dance mom has finally ended, and I think it was only fitting that I said my goodbyes in Galveston, Texas.

Galveston, for those of you not familiar, is a barrier island down the road from Houston. It’s a beach town that feels like it’s seen better days, with a graffitied sea wall that abuts a fairly busy five-lane highway. Bottle caps and plastic detritus wash up along the shore with the expected seaweed, dead fish and broken shells. Summer ambient temperatures consistently run in the triple digits. Despite its rundown appearance, though, Galveston has a lot to offer. It has beautiful sunrises and bountiful waterfowl, some of the friendliest people you’ll ever meet and an impressive array of delicious Mexican and barbecue eateries. Can y’all say, “smoked brisket taco?”

Turns out, the competitive dance world is actually a lot like Galveston — a bit gritty on the surface but absolutely worth a visit. In the last nine years, my daughter has experienced hip injuries and girl drama and body image issues and studio “politics,” set amid a backdrop of screaming mothers, skimpy costumes and exorbitant entry fees.

Despite all that, or maybe because of it, she has made friends for life, developed resilience and confidence, and created the type of memories that can only come from spending 20 bucks on a Galveston ghost tour with — surprise, surprise — no ghosts.

I, of course, have lived vicariously through her, which makes this final dance trip such a bittersweet moment.

My jazz-handing, piqué-turning baby is done, and so is my time as a dance mom.

Peace out.

Your last sentence wondering if we will miss a genuine warning is one that I have asked myself and others repeatedly the last five to six years. Indeed, we have missed it. The alarm bells have been deafening, and sadly, those who may be in a position to respond to them instead have chosen to angrily shout at and demean those who don’t agree with their version of freedom and democracy. It’s all conspiracy, guns and personal freedom except for women’s choices, LGBT and immigrants.

At 71 years old, never did I dream that I might live through the destruction of the country that my grandfather, father and uncle risked their lives to defend.

We have teetered on the abyss of darkness, and even such a heinous act as shooting a third-grader in the face cannot unite us.

We have gone over. America has gone to war with itself. The only question is, who will survive?

Don Schriber, Noblesville

Actor fighting with words of truth Editor, Seeing and hearing Matthew McConaughey’s impassioned address to the press in the White House briefing room, I began thinking about Hollywood actors who fought as heroes in World War II: Paul Newman, Audie Murphy, Jimmy Stewart, Clark Gable among them. They fought with weapons aboard planes, ships and submarines.

Audrey Hepburn and Josephine Baker served in the resistance in Europe. All these years later, we have an actor fighting with words of truth – against weapons.

Grilling neighbors on charcoal and gas Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

presents

The Fourth of July weekend cookout is just around the corner, and we are planning a barbeque with some friends HUMOR at our house. That was not the original plan, but turns out we were not invited to the cookout around the corner.

Here is a statistic reported by the people who make propane tanks: In total, 69.3 percent of men versus 67 percent of women prefer gas grills over charcoal grills.

What could possibly account for this vast taste variance of 2.3 percent between men and women? I have always accepted the statistical difference between the sexes when it comes to the love of shoes, the comic genius of “The Three Stooges” and professional wrestling. Those disparities were understandable, but the gender gap in the preference of gas versus charcoal grills is a mystery.

Scientists at one of the many genome labs should take the time to see if there is, indeed, an actual gene to explain this.

They have already found one each for selfishness, social skills and altruism, but not a single study has been dedicated to the charcoal/gas grills discrepancy. You laugh (I hope), but these are your tax dollars squandered by the government — your money up in smoke, especially if you prefer charcoal.

I did some research on my own block to see if the results meshed with typical American neighborhoods. I knocked on the first door.

“Hi, Mark, I’m taking a little survey. Do you prefer a charcoal or a gas grill?”

“Well, that’s kind of a touchy question in

this house. I prefer gas, but Judy likes coals.

I’d rather not go on the record with this. Our kids are still in school, and we belong to a very conservative church. Instead, it would be safer to tell you about our sex lives or how much debt we are in.”

I tried another house.

“Norman, I just dropped over to find out whether it makes any difference to you whether you fire up your grill with gas or charcoal.”

“It mattered a lot to the first Mrs. Collingwood. That’s why there’s a second Mrs. Collingwood. Things were fine for several years, but then my new wife read something in Prevention magazine and started asking me a lot of health and safety questions about my chosen cooking method. I hate being grilled about grilling, so I purchased a brand-new Weber that meets my wife’s new barbequing preference. It’s cheaper than getting a third Mrs. Collingwood.”

One final thing: According to most propane manufacturers, 36 percent of grillers don’t know they’re out of propane gas until they actually are.

Sorry, I don’t have a clever ending to this column, but it doesn’t really matter. Only 26 percent of my readers know that my last line is supposed to be funny. That’s because 74 percent don’t get that far.

Current in Westfield currentinwestfield.com

Dads have role in reducing death Commentary by Dr. Cameual Wright Despite having the lowest infant mortality rate in more than a decade, Indiana’s current infant mortaliPREVENTION ty of 6.5 infant deaths per 1,000 live births is still 20 percent higher than the national average, according to the Indiana State Dept. of Health. Laws are currently moving through Indiana’s House and Senate to aid Gov. Eric Holcomb’s goal of becoming the best state in the Midwest for infant mortality rates by 2024; however, it will take more than the work of lawmakers, medical workers and mothers to achieve this goal.

Fathers are often overlooked but play a vital role in contributing to good infant health and outcomes.

By offering physical, social and economic support, dads can offer crucial reinforcement to expecting mothers. Stressful social circumstances, such as unemployment, food insecurity and housing concerns can lead to unhealthy practices, such as poor nutrition, non-adherence to medical advice and substance use, which can have significant negative impacts on the health of the moth-

er and the developing fetus. Fathers can help alleviate stress for mothers by creating a positive environment and encouraging healthy habits. This includes ensuring the mother is eating well, taking her vitamins and getting proper rest — all factors that play an important role in fostering a healthy pregnancy. One of the most important components in preventing infant death is consistent attendance at prenatal and postpartum doctor’s appointments. By reducing any barriers to those appointments, including securing transportation and providing child care, fathers can positively impact the pregnancy and life of the infant.

After the baby is born, fathers should be educated on the importance of safe sleep, as this is one of the leading causes of infant deaths. Sleep-related deaths take the lives of 3,500 babies every year, per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Dr. Cameual Wright is vice president and market chief medical officer of CareSource.

Indy Opera’s event features lobster bake

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Lobsta Bakes of Maine started 25 years ago with a love story when a Maine lobster fisherman met FUNDRAISER and married a vacationer from Cincinnati.

That lobster fisherman, Kevin Smith, stayed in Cincinnati to start Lobsta Bakes.

“We have been bringing in live lobster from Maine and steaming them on your doorstep ever since the wedding,” said Jim Radcliffe, catering sales manager for Lobsta Bakes.

Lobsta Bakes will help bring an authentic New England lobster fest to Indianapolis Opera’s 12th annual fundraiser, Lobster Palooza. The event will return from 5 to 9 p.m. July 17 to Daniel’s Family Vineyard and Winery in McCordsville.

“We bring it all and use our custom-built steam cookers on-site to prepare the freshest lobster, delivered to us the day after catch, and served up with corn, potatoes, coleslaw, mussels, breads and drawn butter,” Radcliffe said. “We have seafood appetizers that go well with the Lobsta Bakes that include crab cakes, shrimp cocktail, clam chowder and oysters on the half shell.”

Radcliffe said staff will stay on-site this year and serve. In the past, a caterer handled the serving.

“We will give lobster-picking demonstrations and go tableside to assist anyone that may want additional help,” he said.

However, Radcliffe said the Lobster Palooza crowd typically doesn’t need much instruction.

“We do about 50 to 70 Lobsta Bakes in a normal summer and typically travel within a 150-mile radius from the shop,” Radcliffe said.

Smith sold the company to Phil and Emma Jones earlier this year.

“Kevin is up in Maine with his wife Ann making sure we always have lobsters,” Radcliffe said. “He is back up working lobster boats. He’ll be making guest appearances (for Lobsta Bakes).”

“We think supporting the arts is important,” Ellinger said. “We think it’s great for us to be involved in. This shows a different side of opera. A lot of people think of opera as a black-tie (event). This is a more casual event, and how often do we get fresh lobster in Indiana, right? It’s a fun event and a great atmosphere.”

Other event sponsors include Daniel’s Vineyard, Current Publishing, National Bank of Indianapolis and Merrill: J.K. Blackburn & Associates/Searles Akers Wealth Management Group.

This is the second year the event will be held at Daniel’s Vineyard. It was previously held outside of the Basile Opera Center in Indianapolis.

“We love connecting with the beautiful

location of Daniel’s and the Geist (Reservoir) area,” said Indy Opera General Director David Starkey, who lives in McCordsville. “This uniqueness of having a lobster bake is not your typical thing you have in Indiana. It’s top shelf all the way. It’s a party. It’s bringing new and unique things together. The opera is all about bringing new and different things together.”

A cocktail hour is set for 5 to 6 p.m., followed by the lobster dinner from 6 to 7 p.m. Besides Daniel’s wines, Taxman Brewery, Tito’s Vodka and Still Moon specialty drinks also will be available. From 7 to 9 p.m., the Drew Martini band will perform music for dancing.

Tickets are $200. The deadline for ticket orders is July 8. For more, visit indyopera. org.

Un5gettable set for Feinstein’s

Sponsored by Zachary Confections

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Un5gettable started as five friends from Kokomo having fun performing.

“We started 20 years ago in COMEDY our late teens and early 20s,” Carmel resident Joe Cameron said. “We were friends first. We decided to do a couple performances as a gag. We went our separate ways to live life.”

In 2014, they decided to perform some original comedy songs.

“We haven’t stopped writing, recording and performing since then,” Cameron said.

“It’s been fun and unexpected to do this with my friends.”

Actors Theatre of Indiana Live will present Un5gettable at 7:30 p.m. July 15 at Feinstein’s Cabaret at the Hotel Carmichael in Carmel.

Cameron said the group will perform six shows at Indy Fringe later this summer.

Two of the members live out of state, so they only do a few live performances a year.

“We do video and music content,” said Cameron, who moved to Carmel from Chicago in 2021.

July 7-10 & July 13-17 From left, Zach Harris, Ryan Richards, Kyle Cothern, Joe Cameron and Brendan Hawkins form Un5gettable. (Photo courtesy of Joe Cameron)

Cameron said he and Zach Harris do most of the writing. There have been times when four members have written together.

Cameron said the five vocalists met through Civic Theatre or high school show choir.

Brendan Hawkins lives in Fishers and Ryan Richards is in the process of moving from Kokomo to Carmel. Kyle Cothern lives in Chicago and Harris is in Los Angeles.

“The show will be a 90-minute break from the real world where we are going to sing about ridiculous scenarios in an extremely serious manner,” Cameron said.

The group released an album, “I Am Okay,” in May. For more, visit un5gettable.com.

‘Bright Star’ set to shine

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Red Barn Summer Theatre Artistic Director Michael Taylor stopped in a theater while on vacation to see MUSICAL “Bright Star.”

“I fell in love with the story and the music,” Taylor said. “As soon as I saw it, I became an instant fan. It’s one I’ve wanted to do for a while. We were supposed to do it (in 2020) before the pandemic. It’s kind of been a blessing in disguise because of the voices we have this summer really fit it.”

Red Barn will present “Bright Star” July 7 to 17 at the Frankfort venue.

The musical, which debuted in San Diego in 2014, was written and composed by comedian-actor-musician Steve Martin and singer-songwriter Edie Brickell. The story follows a woman in two parts of her life as a young girl and then as a magazine editor in Asheville, N.C., 22 years later.

“Those playing the leading roles are very excited about this show and (are) as much excited about the show as I am,” Taylor said. “Their passion is showing in rehears-

als, and it will show on stage come performance (time).”

Taylor said the music is more of a country/folk sound. The musical opens in the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina in 1945-46.

“It’s a bigger ensemble than we’ve done in the past,” Taylor said. “We get a nice big sound. We have some strong voices coming in to cover these leading roles. The music is just beautiful, and I really think people are going to enjoy it.”

Taylor said the challenges are organizing all the set pieces and a large cast.

Become a volunteer today Entrance to Assisi in Umbria region of Italy. (Photo by Don Knebel)

A visit to Assisi in Italy Commentary by Don Knebel This is the first of two visits to Assisi, a historic town in Italy’s Umbria region, about 100 miles north of Rome.

TRAVEL Beginning in about 1,000 B.C., the area around Assisi was settled by Umbrians, who built fortified settlements in the mountains. In 295 B.C., Romans took control of the area and built the city of Asisium on terraces at the foot of Mount Subasio about 1,300 feet above sea level. The sophisticated walled city included a forum, an amphitheater and a large temple honoring Minerva (or perhaps Hercules).

Sextus Propertius, a Latin poet, was born in Asisium in about 45 B.C. After the collapse of the Western Roman Empire, Asisium became an independent commune. During the Middle Ages, Rocca Maggiore, an imposing imperial fortress, was built above the city.

In the 16th century, with the city under papal control, the church of Santa Maria sopra Minerv incorporated the colonnaded facade of the Temple of Minerva. Assisi became part of the Italian Kingdom in 1860. In 1997, Assisi was hit by two earthquakes, damaging or destroying many of its buildings.

Today, Assisi, with a population of about 28,000, has largely recovered from the earthquakes and is among the most pleasant and interesting towns in Italy, with winding streets, moderate temperatures and magnificent mountain views. Remains of Roman roads and gates are visible and an archaeological museum beneath Piazza del Comune, the town square, displays items from the ancient Roman Forum.

However, what makes Assisi a destination for thousands each year is not its Roman heritage, but because St. Francis, who
